2:00

most haunted podcast in America officially it's not a joke anymore we didn't give the title to ourselves I think we did as a joke well like I think we got enough people messaging us saying that hauntings happened that we were like oh I think someone was like this is like the most haunted podcast I listen to I think you're haunted and so we proudly accept that title we wear it with honor and is the season for Ghost Stories because that is one of the OG Christmas traditions so thank you for being here we thought we would celebrate the 300th Episode by doing a little call back to our early days when we used to split the episodes and each present a haunted story present a present perhaps oh my gosh a present Merry christas Merry Christ Merry Christmas we're GNA do this one together yeah we are I did text Greg and Dana okay this is weird are you thinking that cuz I'm wearing their shirt no because I was going to do the cursed testament which we you tried to cover St it doesn't exist online anymore you like

3:00

can't find any information about it you know how they used to have their website and it it had like a couple items from their Museum it no longer is on the internet so I texted them and they never responded to me but they're busy that's fine maybe we're not supposed to talk about it is the lesson maybe we're not it was one thing for me to do Peggy the doll after you could not do it and I was okay but I think the curse Testament is it said no it shut its door and we're accepting that as a closed book for now I'll probably try again in a couple weeks oh my gosh well weren't you just saying the other day that the Tarot deck that you mean last night yep yep the 72 demon of Solomon you were like oh I won't use this deck and then you wanted to use it and then so the occult Tarot deck that a listener had told us not to use and then I bought and ended up doing the episode on the 72 Demons of Solomon but totally like was just using the deck as a frame of reference and like Photo reference for you and for everyone to to see I was like just look at the deck cuz

4:00

I and I had like a pull two pull cards for myself my own sake and my own practice and that deck was sitting there and I was like well like why not like I didn't get any bad vibes from it when I was touching it and using it for research practices yeah or purposes and I feel like we approached that episode generally with some respect we walked away being like oh wow these demons have a lot to offer it's not just like a blanket oh my gosh this these entities are bad like there they had so much going on so much to offer they were dynamic dynamic duo group yeah but then I started shuffling it as if I were to pull the cards and immediately was slapped in the face with no do not do this do not use these cards so I did not and I guess that's a good lesson for the holidays it's you know when things feel weird where are we going good lesson for the holidays yourself good lesson only for the holidays after the holiday only the month of December don't listen to your gut just do things bad do things

The Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall

cheery than a screaming skull yeah something you might find Stak in someone's front yard for Halloween decor but you wouldn't necessarily expect a screaming skull to just appear

7:00

castles are old and apparently the schools green buron Agnes Hall is a building that was first built in 1601 by Sir Henry Griffith it's a giant red brick building I'll show you okay thanks very pretty oh beautiful it's quite interesting it kind of reminds me of like in Cake Boss if you were like make a cake that is a castle I feel like that might be what comes out I like that that's your FR of reference I'm always very Baker intrigued to know what your references will be because they're never guessable unpredictable yeah that's the word I was looking for they are unpredictable predictable okay so this is a giant red brick building it has Grand Halls intricate custom woodwork Fine Art and apparently some ghosts tucked away in the beautiful little village just outside of Yorkshire England this still exists today but back in the day when it was built Sir Henry Griffith was building this massive estate for his family it was a mansion that was going to be a family home okay

8:00

and the only property that had been on the land prior was a Norman manor house which dated back to 1173 and still stands today that's so old I know 1173 we're over here being like Massachusetts so old like 1623 like wow damn and it still stands today which is crazy so Sir Henry Griffith his wife and his three daughters they're going to move in it's under construction it's being built they're so excited to move into this like beautiful Mega Man yeah who wouldn't be stoked brag about it to your friends like this is great it's stunning it's Grand it's a fairy tale life right well his kids certainly thought so and his oldest daughter Katherine Anne Griffith she went by Anne and so that's what we will call her an was especially obsessed with this house she was so excited like imagining her and her friends hanging out in the castle like this was going to be the best thing ever slumber parties so popular it's like Princess Diaries they're going to for sure mattress slide down the stairs 100% like I would be so stoked too I would be stoked today if I

9:00

even got to step foot in this house yeah so she was elated to be able to move in one day and it seemed to be that date was like closer and closer to to happening yeah like she was watching this house be built her and her family would go visit it all the time she loved watching it be constructed she told everyone about her new beautiful home and basically she had like this countdown like 17 days until I get to move into my new room so everyone's excited Ann especially one afternoon an along with her dog she starts to make her way to St quinton's which was this old 16th century coaching Inn that had a restaurant and she was going to go meet some friends there at the restaurant how old is she I don't know I think she's teenager okay so report she could either be like 11 or like 20 at this point like I can't tell because of the time period that's true I have no idea she was eight years old she was going to go grab a beer with a friends reports vary some say that she was alone some say that she was with her two younger sisters but either way she was making her way to this in/

10:00

restaurant when two men approached her her guard goes up I think all of us are like yeah like and these men ask her for money and she's not wanting to upset these men right so she has to like do what she can yeah and she's glancing around for anyone who could help her and so she grabs her purse and she offers these men a few coins and while holding out her hand with the coins the men notice a ring on her finger and they're like you have to give us that ring and the ring was an heirloom on her mom's side so her mom had given her that ring and so she was like in that moment didn't want to give up her family heirloom but also like I'm sure would thinking her mom would be so pissed as well so she starts to panic she was like oh I'm going to give them whatever I can but like this is the one thing that she hesitates on and she's like well it's my mom's ring so she starts to kind of push back one of the men said mother or no mother we mean to have it and ripped the ring off of her finger she's so stunned by this she screams and the second that she

11:00

screams no oh no oh no this is so much sadder than I thought it was going to be I know they escalate their attack she is left on the ground beaten very badly and bleeding out poor an people finally find an she is on the brink of death and she is rushed into her new home that is still under construction and she is brought up to one of the upstairs bedrooms in Burton Agnes Hall this house but she had been so injured she had lost so much blood that she wasn't able to recover she kept slipping in and out of Consciousness her body was racking up a fever it was becoming dangerously High she was like trying to fight for her life but it was just all too much for her her body eventually did succumb and she was released into the afterworld I do like that at least she did pass away finally in this house that she so desperately wanted to live in yes and be in she made it clear that she still wanted to be there in her afterlife because just hours before she passed she spoke to her two younger sisters she

12:00

said quote sisters never shall I sleep peacefully in my grave in the churchyard unless I or a part of me at least remains here in our beautiful home as long as it lasts so they choose her skull promise me this dear sisters that when I am dead my head shall be taken from my body and preserved Within These Walls here let it forever remain and on no account be removed and understand and make it known to those who in the future shall become possessors of the house that if they disobey this my last injunction my spirit shall if so be permitted make such a disturbance within its walls as to render it uninhabitable for others so long as my head is divorced from its home I'm sorry Ann's dying and she make these are her final this is her monologue leave my head in this house or I'm going to haunt the [ __ ] out of you and everyone else kind of an older sister thing to say I kind of love her right yeah it's a move that I think we might make as well 100% And so so yeah quite a thing to say on your

13:00

deathbed and she is a teenage girl and her sisters are like exchanging glances like good Lord what has come over her but like yes of course sister of course we will do this an we will do this for you don't you worry so an unfortunately she passes away she's given a normal burial her head is buried with her body oh [ __ ] they didn't listen that is not what Ann asked for no it's not they did not listen she did not want to be buried in the cemetery she did not want her whole body at least she wanted her head in this new home in that freaking house that she dreamed of although I guess it is a little bit like it's a lot to ask your sisters and your family to like Decap your head off of your dead body yeah but thinker no I would yeah you would be going in the ground yeah I guess like maybe they didn't have to do the work themselves they could have hired someone to do that I might just deal with the hauntings that come with it too I'm not sure I could yeah you could hire if it were me you wouldn't want to deal with my haunting scen but do you think I'd be like Sabrina no cuz I'd be scaring putting bloody cockroaches all over me

14:00

as I shower I would scare you and then I would start to Target people around you and that would piss you off yeah see what if I put your head on a steak on the outside of my NOP then and that's worse for you I don't know what I would do well I don't even know where you want where I want my head to be so okay Area 51 yeah I was gonna say it's not GNA be in my house no I don't want it at your house I'm sorry Ken in my mind I was like oh God I have to live with it because this is what these people were living what if I'm like you have to sleep next to my SE decapitated dead head for the rest of your life some people do that Mary shell kept her husband's heart in butcher wrapped in her desk drawer not great okay so not gonna be great for this family either because Ann was like I'm gonna get what I want and just because I'm dead does not mean that you can disobey my my ask dear sisters nobody would stop an that's for sure and a week after her funeral it became clear that an had no intention of resting in peace our family was now in Burton Agnes Hall they' moved moved in they're getting

15:00

ready to tuck in for the night when a loud crash came from upstairs the two younger sisters and the servants run upstairs and they find this large piece of furniture laying on its side weird new house maybe they moved it incorrectly whatever flips on its side by itself sometimes it doesn't matter it's 200 sometimes it just you know wants to rotate a week later loud knocking echoed through the entire estate and continued for hours one more week passes and then the family hears what sounds like a group of people running up and down stairs and groaning and the groan sounds like someone's dying groans oh and so they're like is this the ghost of an or is this something more Sinister and the servants started to speak of a ghost witch that was Haunting the mansion and soon servant after servant began to quit in quick succession they were really scared nobody wanted to work in this Haunted Mansion the groaning witch yeah I love that yeah the ghost witch the groaning ghost witch yeah it's like Moaning Myrtle totally and she was like I will

16:00

make this miserable for everybody right and also if you're the family and all of your help and workers are quitting that's a you like a giant mansion like this thing is huge I don't know how big it is 177,000 squiffy that's what it looks like it's big so seeking help the family went to their neighbor who was the vicer of the parish and in speaking with him they realized that all of this activity started happening exactly one week to the day that Anne had passed away yep and so now some Reports say that it's just polter I like activity but other reports state that an's Bloody Apparition actually materialized and would wander the Halls terrorizing anyone who came across her so it was just like becoming worse and worse and worse and worse yeah an's pretty cool so now together the sisters with the vicer decided to open Anne's coffin to try to appease her spirit so they're like let's go to the coffin we'll open it up we'll apologize to her we'll promise an that we're going to make things right and so with some reluctance the sisters go and but they didn't want to pick up their dead sister and look at her body but at the time it

17:00

seemed like maybe this was the the only good idea right so the fresh dirt was once again dug up from the ground her casket uncovered and upon opening the coffin the group stood there Frozen terrified by what they were saying well what were they seeing there lay an her head decomposing rapidly the rest of her body from the neck down perfectly intact preserved so an was like trying to make it easier for them to take the head off yep her little rot skull and a grin Frozen across R skull's face stop although I kind of feel like all skeletons kind of look like they're smiling yeah especially because there's NOP eats away and your jaw naturally does go up so Ann was clearly sending a message she needed her head to be in Burton Agnes Hall so the family decided to bring her home they removed her head from the rest of her body leaving her body in the cemetery but taking her skull with them and placing it on the table so the ANS Rock Bing head could look out and observe the beautiful home

18:00

and all of the ongoings within the estate it's a centerpiece it is gross disturbing beautiful I don't know they're one of us imagine the holidays you got like your turkey your Christmas ham right below the Christmas tree is Ann's head yeah you're like look Ann look what I got for Christmas creepy I guess that's one way to like keep her involved right I mean she was getting what she wanted right and like and more I think originally she requested she was like just like put me somewhere like Brak me up somewhere and they're like we're going to put you st further cuz we're sorry yeah we have to appease you now so whatever your thoughts on an's head being an's head the centerpiece this activity within the home stopped immediately so boom done it fixed all of the Paranormal Activity no more hauntings in the middle of the night Ann was at peace but she was not at rest because the wish that she made her sister's promise was for eternity not just when her family lived there and so her spirit waited there and waited

19:00

until someone tried to remove her from the home a maid had tossed her skull out of a carriage and onto a load of manure okay well that's rude I know I'm sorry well also this mate like didn't believe in any of the ghost story she was like that's ridiculous and there like rotting head in this house I'm going to remove it throwing it onto a bunch of manure yeah I'm not sure if it was intentional or if she was just like riding the carriage and tossed it out and just happened to land into cow poop it did Ann's skull hit the poop and the horses stopped immediately I think I've never thought I would hear and her skull hits the poop out of context what the hell are these skull hits the poop yeah the horses stop immediately they're freaking out they're refusing to budge from this yes and so they eventually return to B buriton anus Hall all the activities happening they have to go get the SK again and bring it back did this woman have to go dig it up out of the bo think so yeah so while the return of Ann's skull was rather quick in this case there were other times throughout the next several years and decades that people tried to remove Ann skull each

20:00

time Burton Annes Hall would erupt in Paranormal Activity the banging the knocking all of that would return the sound of someone moaning on their deathbed Furniture being flipped the walls would shake the paintings would be torn from their spots on the walls which was extra spooky too because there's literally painting I think it's over the fireplace mantle maybe on the first floor that literally represents the Empire of death and like this would Rattle and like come off of the wall that's really creepy but also very cool so each time the activity continued and worsened until an skull was returned to the home one family was so disturbed by the skull and also again like this is you know years and years pass by like it gets passed down more people purchase the home and they become more disconnected more removed from an's life and these stories and don't really believe it so this family they're like this is really freaking creepy we don't really believe in this curse or I'm Imaging like they move in and the only thing in the entire house is like an skull in the Center of like the living

21:00

but this family they're like we've heard the stories we're going to try to appease an spirit Spirit we don't believe in this so they just decide to bury anull on the ground the property which you would think is fair but she's asked to be in the houseall in the house why not like put her into like the wall she does become in the wall oh okay yes so they thought that this would appease her spirit but the Paranormal Activity continued so they were wrong an was not interested in the property ground she needed to be inside the home and the family was quickly reminded of that an was dug up once more returned to the house eventually people decided to make sure Ann was a permanent feature in the home and they bricked her skull up into one of the walls literally what I was picturing and I like picture like her skull like being visible in the bridge so cool it's hidden away like you don't know where it is in the house so she can't I guess like see but she she safe because no one knows exactly where her

22:00

skull is now and so no one can remove her yeah so the exact location has not been revealed perhaps to protect Anne from being removed from the home or to protect those who take care of the building from suffering Ann's raage should they suddenly feel that they should remove right but it is said that an's Spirit which is sometimes referred to as old NS still makes an appearance every year on the anniversary of her death she materializes and looks in splend at the home she so adors it's still her house and that's a screaming skull of Burton Agnes Hall that's actually not as scary as I thought it was going to be no it's just like one of the most haunted because she so active and is still like annually hello it's also so interesting to me because clearly her skull doesn't

The Haunted Doll: Letta the Doll

need to be in the Mansion for her to haunt The Mansion like she was Haunting the family when her head was buried with her body but she's just like I really want my and it was she has a lot of Pride she wanted her skull her head to

23:00

remain in the building her life was also taken so young and so unfairly and in such a gruesome way that it's like this is the one thing that she's holding on to this is the one thing she much for her to ask for and she's also a teenager like things are you know yeah still raging hormonally in the afterlife I'm sure everything's pulsating sure her hormones yeah her rage clearly the furniture yes I just like picture her as like morphing into this like green monster it's just like myself in midle school when I had no control over anything and it would take like two seconds for me to go from zero to 100 yeah I like that you have the green light on you right now when you said turning into the green monster I feel like that was very applicable appropriate channeling green channeling green wow I like that Ann how lovely Ann Well mine's scary I knew it would be did you yeah I I could guessed it well our theme was most haunted so I went in the scary that scariest haunted yeah I have my lovely Andy here with us

24:00

today because we will be discussing a haunted doll we've heard of Annabelle we've heard of Peggy we've heard of Robert today we're going to talk about Lea l e TTA I've heard murmurings of Leta but I've never looked up what Lea has to bring us Leta has a lot to share this is their creepy cousin all the other creepy doll cousins Leta or let me out or let me out yes let me out and that's literally how they came up with the name really yeah someone was basically well I'll get to that point but I like to also call this doll LMO if you do not want to say the full name like Elmo and that thank you because I'm going to end this episode with a haunted Elmo no way I was going to talk about Robert the Doll really okay so let us exact beginnings pretty unclear but as with many haunted

25:00

objects the story that we'll tell begins with the discovery and Lea was discovered and Unearthed in the 1970s there is this man named Carrie Walton who grew up in Australia he is a bit of like a Explorer in the sense that he would go into like abandoned buildings he had a vintage shop that he would sell items that he found in like abandoned buildings and stuff so he liked to explore haunted haunted esque old places right he grew up in this small town called waga waga or waga waga I like that New South Wales and similar to like a lot of towns he grew up with this urban legend of this house and it was an abandoned house that sat in the neighborhood in this small town classic and there was this urban legend of an old man who would like carry sacks of bodies and children yikes yes kind a reverse Santa Claus yeah yep if you're naughty The Old Man and waga waga is

26:00

going to get you specifically not just human bodies human heads a big school episode yeah kav City numbered heads obviously people were terrified of this home and so there was all these like dares like can you will you go to it people avoided it yada yada y one day in the 1970s Carrie Walton and his brother I think they're now in their 20s or 30s unclear they decide why don't we go into that house and see if we can find anything any Treasures that we could sell in our store or just come upon so they sneak in I like to imagine they were like trying to scare one another in the process and this man doesn't live it it's like completely abandoned right it's completely abandoned and Carrie now lives in Brisbane at this point in the time in 1970s things take a turn when Carrie stumbles upon something strange beneath a broken floorboard of this abandoned house so I imagine it's kind of dark and he's walking and he sees like a crack in the floor board and he

The Discovery of Letta

sees eyeball staring back at him and

27:00

he's terrified because he thinks like is there a child or is there someone buried beneath this floorboard oh my God yeah so out of fear he calls his brother over and they pull back this floorboard and it is not a child and it is not a real human but there is a doll with a wicked grin a large nose crooked eyebrows and is that human hair no ew this hair better not grow on its own this is what they see the floor sorry I don't know if I'm allowed to say okay it's it's giving fil qu it is it is and I think when they discovered the doll it was nude because the clothing had disintegrated okay whatever clothing this doll was in which to them signified that it had been there for a long time this actually kind of looks like one of the dolls in Mr rogers's neighborhood in the interesting world of make believe I don't remember it but it kind of also reminds me of when I was in elementary school we did a

28:00

like class project where we paper M we did like Willy Wonka in the Chocolate Factory Char in Chocolate Factory but we did it as a puppet show and we all were assigned a character and we made papier-mâché puppets of the characters oh really with like you know where you blew up the balloon and then paper mâché around created the characters it kind of looked like yeah they were kind of yeah they weren't done yeah well obviously and like the texture is a little bit off so probably blinded from the relief that this is not a real child and only a doll Carrie was like I should save this doll that's his first thought not this is scary why is there a doll buried beneath the floor they're like phw it's not a real human I want to save this also this is kind of his job he goes around and he takes things yeah and he also had this feeling that the doll wanted to be rescued interesting so with no push back car's brother agreed yes let's take this doll back home to Brisbane with us it's like they're all under a little trance like the doll is making them be like

29:00

take me yeah bring me home so the two carefully WRA the doll they put it into a sack and they put it in the back seat of the car and they drive back to Brisbane the entire drive back they keep getting this like weird feeling and keep looking in their peripheral vision and keep thinking that they see this sack the doll is in moving oo which is why Carrie's brother makes a joke he basically mimics what he thinks the doll is saying when it's like moving in the sack saying let me out let me out let me out and they start laughing and they're like the doll's name is Leta yeah therefore coining the name let meow a playful name given to it and they arrive home with the doll and as you can guess some pretty strange things start to happen almost immediately their first red flag after the first red flag of the doll clearly trying to escape this sack is that the family dogs kept barking at the doll and growling and whining and refusing to be near it at all Leta was also moving on its own and every night

30:00

they would hear the sounds of like something moving throughout the house and they were like uh it's it's like probably nothing it wasn't enough for them to wake up and feel like someone was in the house but they just kept hearing sounds this is reminding me of the beginnings of the crown of cat Scouts it is very similar and similarly like kind of a misunderstood haunted object and in the mornings when they would wake up they would find strange scuff marks on the floors and then when they would look at the doll they would see scuff marks on the feet of the doll that were not there the day prior meaning this doll is like my freaking God scuff marking around through the house at night dragging their little doll feet Yes they tried to write it off but it kept happening night after night and other people also started feeling ill around Lea to the point of feeling faint passing out or throwing up so all these hauntings are getting worse and worse and more intense but at the same time Carrie doesn't feel like bad vibes from the doll at all there's like this weird connection that they share but they do

31:00

want to understand what's happening so they sought out experts and I think also around this time as they're seeking out experts and learning more about the doll they're also sharing the stories of these hauntings and so the story of Lea is becoming popularized and more energy going to Lea but it's traveling around and Carrie Walton talks a lot about how like prior to this he wasn't really that well off off like he kind of like had his own business but he lived like a simple life and all of a sudden like people were offering him money for this doll and like a lot of money and they went to a psychic who said the doll was actually inhabited by the spirit of a young boy who died a long time ago she had the sense that the this little boy had drowned and then the family of this little boy had made the doll in the likeness of the little boy although it looks like an old man it does on that but it was basically like an

32:00

homage to a lost one another expert was able to date the doll some 200 years back based on the nails that were used in the dolls feet mhm and they were also able to find similar dolls that had been crafted in Eastern Europe specifically in Romania I was trying to look up

The Haunting Begins

research of like Romanian dolls in history and I couldn't find anything I don't know it's so I mean I'm like biting my tongue cuz I don't know what I'm allowed to say about the doll yet yeah I should keep my observations and my thoughts to myself as to not haunt myself I don't think you will you will this is not a type of doll it's not like Peggy where people who talk about it yeah we're not supposed to or like Robert where you like can't yeah so you're safe to make observations if you would like okay would you like to or not yet not yet I'll keep it to myself for right now so this doll is handcrafted it's wood with large brown eyes and brown hair it has elaborately arched eyebrows a pronounced nose and a mouth that appears to be smirking but Carrie reports that the mouth and

33:00

his like facial expressions seem to change often ew yeah that is so I mean I say you because I'm scared of it but also this is the coolest freaking thing in the world that this doll is so clearly haunted and active yes scff marks walking around changing his face like you can see it yes he is dressed in a dark green suit knee length breaches and a white shirt with Thrills at the neck and wrists the shoes are part of the carving so they're not like a an accessory put on to them and they're painted brown and black and have square toes and a slight heel the attire like I said is not original it's something that was put onto the doll later an original attire likely disintegrated to aging but the painted shoes are original and likely indicative of the original attire this doll has often been called by a Romanian slur which I will not say and as we learned from Jasmina the people who call themselves that are probably practicing it and it's a term so we're not going to refer to it as that because

34:00

that's not our place the doll seems to have Romani spiritual connections and guess what that hair that looked oh so human human hair human hair belong to the little boy that's what I'm curious about I don't know if they've done any test but I would also be curious because the psychic told them the story but if could they do like some type of like DNA testing or what's the testing that they do where they find like chemicals that are in the hair that help date back or locate where it's from do you remember that type of study there was that whole case the in bearbrook case where in the barrels yeah they did that testing to try to locate where the victims were from originally cuz like all that was left was the hair I have no idea anyway while this doll is somewhat unsettling and the fact that people do get like bad vibes or feel sick around it Carrie does not believe that the spirit is malevolent and actually believes that it's a deceased child that when treated well and once well acquainted the spirit

35:00

and the doll will warm up to you and perhaps even bring luck to you because like I said Carrie prior to finding Leta was just living a normal mundane life and then truly instantly upon possessing and owning Leta even though like people were offering him tons of money for Leta he was like I can't sell this doll and instead he started making money elsewhere like people were buying other items that he had and he started to make more money yeah Leta could be a bit of a good luck charm yeah he was able to let live with you and Leta brings you money Fortune luck and Carrie and his family are cautious of how many strangers they

Elmo Doll’s Scary Message

do bring into leta's life because they're like the same with like Greg and Dana where if it's something that's perhaps misunderstood or haunted and doesn't like a bunch of people around it like it's a little boy who's probably scared of strangers and confused so they're cautious about that and they treat him really well he's very much like a part of their family and there

36:00

are some who when they do meet Lea can become overcome by sadness or immense grief some do feel nauseous and uneasy how interesting that it can be so different for different people I know and then Amy from Amy's Crypt met Leta and had like a positive experience people have seen leta's facial expression change the eye colors change the doll moving on its own and have experienced Poltergeist activity when near the doll ultimately people believe Leta does not like being made a spectacle of and does not like certain people which I kind of respect yeah it's like a pet it does make me wonder like what's going on with those certain people that either triggers Leta in a way or is Leta almost like this sort of Looking Glass where you see something it's almost like this crying mirror that Greg and Dana have where it's like you see something within yourself within yourself and sometimes people are feel fearful of it or sometimes people are comforted by it or also like if you know

37:00

you're going to see a haunted object are you then pre-programming your brain to think something scary is going to happen and then you do experience it yeah but today Carrie Walton's granddaughter Haley runs leta's social media accounts and you can follow Leta to learn more and follow along on leta's Journey but here is a photo of Leta and Carrie Walton it's like been so many years wow they're just buddies for some reason I mean I know that photo like Leta is a doll but for some reason upon Quick Glance kind of does look almost alive in a way totally like if you if you just like walked past that you would think that it's two people sitting on a couch it is such a relief to learn that LML lettera was not an evil spirit and not intending harm but like we hou earlier LMO is not terrifying but there is an Elmo that is terrifying and it has death on its mind what in the world I think a lot of people have probably heard this story this is the story of a Elmo doll

38:00

that began to chant kill James kill James over and over I thought that that was some sort of like Reddit lore no it's literally there's a video I'll show it to you most of us have very fond memories of Elmo and of our birthdays mhm and the gifts that we received for our birthdays but for poor James Bowman he will forever remember his second birthday for the toy that wanted to kill him and we're going to play this little clip knows your named doll recently ran out of batteries his mother Melissa put new ones in what was that J and so James's mom Melissa she gave James this Elmo doll because it was like a new Elmo doll called Elmo knows your name and it's like programmed by the computer where you can like put type in the name and Elmo would say like hello James or like talk to the name that you put in so she gives him this brand new know your name Elmo and then hears her son her 2-year-old son saying these words kill

39:00

James and she's like excuse me son what did you just say and then she finds him with his Elmo doll and the Elmo doll is repeating over and over kill James oh my God and it's like if it were running out of battery or some weird battery thing like you would think the word James would be distorted too like if you were thinking hello like the kill is just right but it like it clearly sounds like kill James over and over they threw the toy away but apparently this model of Elmo knows your name had quite a few issues a mass produced haunted Elmo who wants to kill wow something's within the Elmos it says let him me out kill James so creepy I don't know what to think of let I'm like waffling because I guess what you think of Leta depends on what lettera thinks of you very true okay listener stories listener stories interesting the doll Direction because like I mentioned earlier I picked out a listener story that has to do with one of the most haunted dolls to

Listener Stories: Robert the Doll

40:00

exist Robert this is called oh Robert dearest uhoh uh oh oh hello my fellow ghostesses my name is Amber she her and I've been a listener since the very beginning we go way back even it's just been one-sided relationship until now hey am we go so far back you guys are like a big old comforter to me keeping my anxiety at Bay by the sounds of your friendly chatter anyways I have this little story that I wanted to share with you that involves a famous haunted doll yes Robert the Doll this may be a long one but I'm not apologizing for the length because we're all here to listen to scary stories and in my opinion the longer the better so what youve been saying yeah exactly you never apologize for the length here's the thing you don't have to but also you never have to apologize for the length of your email because we read every single length and we like we like them all yeah we like long keeping these things to myself I was trying to set you up for

41:00

something dirty but you know CR a mother now keeping a PG tonight maybe episode 301 things will change what's happening in 301 I don't know is it getting phallic it's your episode oh yeah it might get F exactly if you know me bde Big Dick Energy yeah thank you but I did say you big booty energy the other day yes but today big dick energy B yeah it All Began on a chilly satday aturday night around 7 or 8 years ago my kids were at their dad's that week and so I was home alone while I was getting ready to go out that night I had a podcast about the Paranormal the story was about Robert the doll and although the podcasters warned that he had a tendency to haunt those who were curious to search him up online my curiosity got the best of me and I just had to take a peek I get it Amber I get it after finding him and thinking okay so he looks like a really old doll but not really that terrifying I quickly closed the site that I was was on and I walked out into the kitchen for some reason I

42:00

had almost all of the lights off except for the light above my stove so it was quite dark I leaned onto my kitchen counter while I texted my friend who I was meeting that night my fur baby veto jumped onto the counter beside me and was peering over my shoulder towards the pitch black dark Hall behind me I really for some reason when you read fur baby I thought Furby my my fur still has the Furby and it's her pet and it's moving around well she had to feed the Furby dinner before going out exactly she's worried about Robert the doll but she has a living Furby that's a real nightmare yeah my fur baby veto jumped onto the counter beside me and was peering over my shoulder towards the pitch black Hall behind me at first I didn't pay much attention to him but he kept looking around my shoulder and then hiding back behind me I looked towards the hall I looked back at him and then I looked back down the hall again and nothing I couldn't see anything but I started to get a really creepy feeling and I decided the [ __ ] lights needed to be on why am I standing in the dark anyway good question I left shortly after that and forgot about the whole thing by the time that I got home late

43:00

that night so I got ready for bed I turned out the light and now I'm not sure how long I was asleep but I woke up to a loud bang that came from outside of my room and it couldn't have been a dream because my beagle boy Joe who was fast asleep at the end of my bed had two just woken up just as abruptly as me his ears were perked up he was staring out of my bedroom door the thought of Robert entered my mind and I recalled how strange my cat was acting earlier that night nope no thank you this is not happening I turned my light on and eventually I fell back asleep to my dismay sleep only brought more Terrors I woke up in my dream still in my bed I started to look around the room and I saw the head of Robert the Doll coming out of my walls not just one but multiple multiple heads all over the wall stop they would come out they would recede back in over and over I would startle awake like for real now and I was just completely freaked out out I then decided my light and my TV both needed to be on I could not fall asleep

44:00

for a really long time but eventually I did succumb to my exhaustion and I had another dream but this time I was walking through my house and the whole time I had this Eerie feeling and a deep knowing that my house was haunted it was such a real feeling I could feel it in my core I turned the corner into the kitchen and all of the paintings on the wall had been turned upside down oh I remember thinking of Robert again and in that moment I heard a scream from outside it was my son screaming and crying my neck my neck so I rushed outside to help him and at that moment I woke up it was morning holy [ __ ] finally I had a really bad feeling my kids were at their dad's that week and I couldn't quickly go check on them just to make sure that they were fine but this nagging feeling just wouldn't go away so I texted my ex to see if the kids were okay I said morning how are the kids doing did they sleep okay and I [ __ ] you not my ex replies well Miller my son is staying home today he woke up with a really bad he headache um say what my mouth fell open and I stared at his text

45:00

for a while my heart was pounding out of my chest did I unknowingly open my children up to being haunted by Robert or is this some kind of crazy coincidence I don't believe in coincidences though so I'm leaning towards the former me neither Amber I have since then seen many photos of Robert and have not had another experience like that again oh and my son is okay thanks so much for being the amazing spooky [ __ ] that you are and I hope that I see you live one day until then I will be here listening Ember I also don't believe in coincidences I am glad that it was not like I wonder H well I wonder if something happened like that Miller hurt his neck in his sleep which caused the headach because ow my neck Robert the Doll gave your son a headache yeah what if she was seeing something that kind of was happening or it's also one of those things where it's like what if in the dream state he was injured like astrally and then we feel that in our own bodies too sometimes what happens to us I believe that when we're into our soul either the way I glad nothing else

46:00

happened yeah me too but my God see

Ouija Board Encounters

dolls are not to be messed with and neither are Ouija boards this is from our listener Michael and it is called Ouija board encounters hi Karina and Sabrina my name is Michael and I love to listen all the paranormal stories from your podcast while working it makes the 10-hour shift fly by getting loss and all those ghost stories especially the researched episodes but let's get into the experience I had with a Ouija board when I was 16 and lived in a small town in Nevada it starts like most days hanging as a teen with friends we'd go hang out by a nearby lake go swimming or skateboarding near our houses there wasn't much to do in our small town but the day was getting late and me and my two other friends let's call them Jake and Joe for anonymity we decided to go back to Jake's house to hang and smoke we had nothing better to do so I came up with the great idea let's make a homemade Ouija board and use one of his parents sh glasses as the planet to pass the time

47:00

M sounds kind of fun sounds like something I might have done when I was younger it sounds like something I would have been terrified of when I was younger it's so interesting how wepf we're so different growing up mhm and we found each other and now you're more likely to use a Ouija board now than I am so there we are in his parents house who were not home we sat up in the living room and started making the board then we started asking questions and calling on the spirits at first we were getting no responses from the board but then we called out to one of our friends who had sadly died by Suicide mhm we started asking questions like do you miss your family and we ask other things that are hard to recall but we got simple answers like yes and NOS for the most part but then after contacting him we started to try to speak to other Spirits once again and to our surprise they came through and to our discouragement they were kids they talked about really dark things that happened to them and told us their ages which really touched my feelings hearing

48:00

all these things from supposed kids yeah but that was not the end of the night we wanted to see if there was anything we could do with the Ouija board that was actually factual so we researched other rituals to call out to Spirits we were looking for about 30 minutes when I came across this one thing that seemed pretty simple to do it called for us to find a dark room with no light and it needed at least three people to do and there were three of us it said to stand one in front of each other in a line in front of a light switch then light a candle behind the last person once you did that you could not open your eyes you could not laugh or make any noise or else it would take you take you where I don't know and then you would call upon this demon to join you and sit in the darkness with you until you hear them or feel them touch you but all you can do is sit there until the person in the front decides to turn on the light and blow out the candle how h no hell no this does remind me of talk to me it

49:00

does it's just like this there's like an excitement in experiencing something so incredibly terrifying and you don't want to do it but there's a little part of you that's like I'm curious a little bit curious yeah so we decided the best place to do this is the back of Jake's basement once all the doors were closed there was no light so we gathered the candle got in a line and sat crisscross applesauce on the floor in front of the light switch we lit the candle turned out the the lights closed our eyes and invited the demon to come sit with us we sat there in silence and in the dark for about a minute in my mind I was thinking this is such a bunch of BS and then we heard things moving around us things on the desks and shelves around us shuffled and moved then something touched me I felt claws run down my legs then down my spine meanwhile I'm crying on the inside trying not to make any noise or any expression from it it felt like I was sitting there in for an hour but was

50:00

really more like 4 minutes before Jake in front of us turned the light on after that terrifying experience we decided let's stop mingling with the Supernatural and Retreat upstairs and blow out the candle yeah good call we then decided to make some food after and we started to hear some noises coming from downstairs so we went to go see what was going on we slowly walked down the stairs peeking between the opening between the side of the stairs and the roof we all get a good lims and we see the bathroom door slowly swinging open I tell you the three of us crawled over each other fighting to be the first up the stairs and out the door it was like deer running for their lives we all piled into my car and booked it out of there we decided to go park by the lake down the road and once we were there we sat and compiled our thoughts and all talked about what happened getting on the same page it took us about an hour or two to calm our nerves eventually we gathered up the courage to drive back to the house and call it a night and no further experience experiences happened that night but fast forward to the next

51:00

day I'm home and I had a room in the back end of the basement that was right across from my sister's room I'm the only one home and I decide to take a shower gather my clothes I hop in the shower and I start washing my body and I hear a whistle I try to rationalize it and think it's probably my sister even though I never heard the door close and I don't think anyone else was home it was a constant whistle and it kept getting closer and closer to the bathroom door I heard it reverberate throughout the bathroom I kept telling myself it's just my sister but somehow it was echoing and I started hear things in the bathroom started washing my hair and the whistle was now in my left ear it was so close you could feel it in the air I jumped so high and scrambled to get the soap out of my hair and out of my eyes I jumped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my waist ran around the house searching to see if anyone was home and I realized now that was stupid I probably shouldn't have done any of those things and just left the house but I told my parents and decided that I should have left the house but more so I never should have done any of that paranormal stuff I never told my parents

52:00

and I decided to see if it would just go away on its own but it didn't and after that I started experiencing things being misplaced or disappearing and slowly it stopped that is the one experience that has always stuck with me I have more but yall are the best from Michael wow okay this is like Beyond just uh when we were like don't play with Ouija boards this feels like a paranormal game mixed with a Ouija board which is my favorite type of story to share so this was everything Ouija boards haunted dolls haunted objects and terrifying paranormal games that you should never play yeah I know cuz clearly it follows you and it doesn't matter if the game is over and the board is closed out sometimes things stay also if you're like fully summoning a demon and like asking for an experience like that you kind of got what you wanted yeah so congratulations welcome Michel you did it you win Michael's a lucky winner ding ding ding ding demons following you for the rest of your life well thank you guys for being a part of
