very spooky hi hi it's been so long since you and I have recorded which is so weird because we've been recording so much we're batch recording so many episodes because basically we have to create almost two and a half months worth of podcast episodes before we go on tour so that we can go on tour because there's no time when we're on tour to record not much at least so we're gonna record a lot of encounters together yeah that's true we saw a lot of each other and then for a week I was off prancing around doing things but now I'm here for the ghost

1:00

stories because this is two girls one ghost and we are your ghost assistant that is Karen and I'm Sabrina I have so much to tell you but I think I'm gonna save it for the episode we record after this so that we have stuff to talk about in the beginning as if as if we'd be just be like sitting there in silence crickets chirping but sure okay we'll save it we'll save it for a later later episode because it's some good stuff so I'm reading the future for all of you who are listening to this as it comes out the episode that comes out September I think it's third it's like the week we go on tour that episode is gonna have some ghostly in the beginning okay I have something cool to tell you too okay we'll have a lot to talk about but our priority in the encounters episode episodes is telling your ghost stories your experiences all of you listening back to you because our inbox we say we're haunted you guys are haunted and our inbox it probably is the

2:00

most haunted place yeah I think it's us being haunted we already were haunted but then we created this community that is so haunted that it has made us even more haunted I think we all just point the blame at each other but we're all just collectively creating this big big haunted bubble that surround us and so I mean I guess you guys can imagine some of the subject lines that we get each week as people send in their emails and we have some really interesting stories to tell you today so Sabrina would you

Introducing Soot the kitten

like to go first I would because I do have three I really want to introduce everyone to soot because I haven't shown her on the podcast yet oh okay she's just been on our campfire stories which we do on patreon every Tuesday if in case anyone's wondering where that went it's on patreon right now and by the time the episodes that come out after this like the ones that we're recording after this they all come out basically when we're on tour and she will be hopefully adopted by then you won't be fostering her anymore come here little girl what is her her actual name Regina

3:00

Regina a sweet little baby kitten a little black kitten that Sabrina is fostering through stray cat Alliance which is where she had fostered last year's kittens the pastas Sabrina didn't feel like she looked like a Regina and so someone had suggested when we were on camera stories that she looks much more like a soot and so sorry say hi there she is I feel like this is The Lion King moment where Simba's being held out in front of the crowd below where I'll just like sit or or in Toy Story where where the little aliens in the cloth the claw I feel like that's that's how I feel when you hold up stood at the top of the stairs Leia's warming up warm enough to get in life and you know Leia is the original we can't blame her it's hard to show the spotlight sometimes I will say they actually do really like each other despite how it might seem when they hiss at each other or when Leia hisses at her but she has been giving her licks and it's just when

4:00

so it moves too fast then Leia's like you stay still and I'm gonna hiss at you and swat at you until you do yeah see this is the hard part it's like now you don't really know if Leia's if her Grunts and gruffles and screams are because of an insect a ghost or just because soot is near so there's a little bit more to consider I have been the light in this this is an old building so I'm going to caveat this with that but the last few nights and mornings because I've been keeping the bathroom light on for soot and I keep it a little bit dimmed it has been communicating with me is all I will say oh stranger things moment you got to put up some of those the ABCDEFG you gotta put a hole those Christmas light bulbs make a mini one I just said hi uh Nana and pop-up who are my my mom's mom my dad's dad who have passed away and I feel very connected to them so I just said hello well that's good we got some drama going

5:00

on over here cat Drama Oh all right just distract us all with the ghost story

Listener story: Black eyes

okay I have a couple okay so this first one I'll do a little short one to warm us up okay this is from our listener who calls herself haunted Auntie Mika I love that and since we are the ghostyons this is very apropos okay it is called black eyes in the mirror hello Sabrina and Corinne I found your podcast about a month ago this is back in 2020 so I hope you're still with us whenever you say that it sounds like we're assuming someone is deceased but when we say that we mean we hope you're still listening not the assumption that people are perishing left and right well I guess I hope both that they're still with us listening and still alive it just sounds no morbid I hope you're still here hope you hope you still breathe oh man we do hope that but well if not come haunt us

6:00

I welcome you as long as you're kind okay this one isn't scary it's just kind of funny my niece is three and for some reason is absolutely terrified of black eyes well duh who isn't who wouldn't be but it is like a weird and irrational fear I guess okay she doesn't watch scary movies or anything but absolutely knows black-eyed things are scary she doesn't like squirrels or Birds because they have black eyes any sort of any sort of animatronic toys like for real friends or Furby Etc she hates because of the large black eyes kinda like the Emoji oh yeah I was immediately thinking about a harbor seal I feel like that's a really good test of how scared of you how scared of black eyes are you because those are some huge black eyes but seals are so cute you very clearly have just come off of a trip to Nantucket I did your Nantucket trip is showing Korean how's bougie for 36 hours

7:00

I don't know what she has seen that made her determine black eyes means get the hell out but she does not like them I was babysitting her and she sleeps in my bed when she's with me when I woke up to her hiding under the blanket tapping my shoulder Mika I'm scared there's black eyes in the mirror I wake up because trust your toddler and trust your pets is my way of life and I tell my smart home to turn on the lights my niece says oh just kidding it's a picture of my mommy hanging by the mirror oh I can only imagine Mika's heart just pounding what is there stay spooky haunted Auntie Mika oh my gosh honestly this is perfect because haunted Auntie Mika I'm sure has so many experiences in their own life but at the same time I feel like children haunt us in many ways as well but their stories are true and

8:00

just the confusion that's involved with like are they seeing something or is this their imagination and that's terrifying I do feel like kids have crazy imagination so it's super easy to just like wave things off and be like oh it's fine it's just their imagination but we have learned and we know as previous creepy kids ourselves kids just have a connection to the other side that they are very in tune they see things they know things so Mika's way of life of trust your toddlers I think is a pretty good oh yeah operation and standpoint for Life absolutely and if I can just say one more thing about Nantucket as if I haven't talked about it you absolutely can you haven't said anything I know the place that we stayed at in Nantucket which I'd never been to Nantucket I've never been to Martha's Vineyard I've never been to Cape Cod I've never had that sort of like South Shore bougie vacation and so for my 30th birthday that's what I I wanted I told Brian I said I want like one night two maximum and one of these like bougie

9:00

spots I want to experience what all these other people are are living like so we went and first I will tell people if anyone is thinking of going there let me tell you this every time we went anywhere to purchase anything it was like a punch in the gut if you want ice cream with one topping two size small ice creams with like hot fudge and whipped cream on each forty dollars not stay there long at all like get in get out forty dollars everything I got a muffin and an iced coffee in the morning 20 bucks it was I was like I should have packed granola bars like what is this place that's scarier than any ghost story it really really was I'm like literally crying thinking about it we both were like we cannot look at our bank accounts because this was a horrifying site and maybe one day if we win the lottery we'll be able to go back but certainly certainly not anytime soon anyway lesson learned do some research before asking your husband for a

10:00

vacation somewhere it was your 30th I know I just feel guilty spending money because of the way things are right now anyway point being is we did a lot of exploring in different bookstores looking into the history looking at all of these paintings and the place that we were staying in had a lot of historic portraits that I think they're more I would assume they were portraits of family members of this family who had lived for many generations in Nantucket but as you walked down the hall they went from these sort of like oil paintings of people just sitting for a portrait to pictures of people with their eyes like scratched out black what and I was scared I didn't ask what they were about because I was I asked no but I did take I did take a video of it so that you could see because I wanted to show you let me put it into this video I will but anyway yeah it was it was very creepy very very creepy that is creepy I totally understand haunted Auntie Mika's niece being terrified of black eyes

11:00

because there's something about not seeing the whites of someone's eyes and it's just like the darkness I mean it's it's by some musicians will wear and like people that do creepy costumes they put those fully black contacts over their whole eye because it does it is it triggers something within us right should we do that on tour and just wear creepy ass contacts if I thought that I had the ability to put something in my eye I'd say yes but I sure as heck wouldn't you could do it though I could I used to wear contacts all the time but I prefer to be blind no um what do you have what's your next

Listener story: Lalorie Mansion

story alright well this caught my attention because it is called grabbed by the ghosts of the lalorie Mansion I gotta read this I feel like there's a lot of ghosts there which one they're right who who grabbed you okay hi Corinne and Sabrina I just came back from a trip to New Orleans with my fiance and his family and boy did we have some experiences particularly by

12:00

the Lorry Mansion I've been a phantom since episode 5 and re-listened to your New Orleans episode probably three times before going there making a list of every haunted and ghostly location that we had to go to wow I love that I know that's so good sometimes I re-listen to our episodes when I'm going somewhere I feel like she just went on our haunted road trip like using our our podcast as the guide it's perfect and clearly it works she found some ghosts or they found her they found her so on Sunday we went on a ghost tour with my fiance his mom and his brother all of who are massive Skeptics and non-believers who tease me incessantly about my paranormal experiences and beliefs all the time well they aren't the ones who lived in a super haunted house growing up so honestly their loss they wanted to go on this tour for the history and I wanted to go for the history of it all and of course the spooky stories and goings on around the French Quarter before we got to the lalory mansion our tour guide took us to lafitte's blacksmith shop to grab a drink ghost peen and I of course

13:00

showed him your ghost penis picture he loved it he said that's truly something he's never seen oh god wow we definitely have to go back and try to get another one see if he reappears my fiance and I went to lafitte's probably four times on this five-day trip because the Vibes are Immaculate agreed after grabbing a high noon we were off to lullery Mansion as a history and spooky girly I am well aware of the horrifying details of the mansion and sort of had the sinking feeling as we were approaching the house which we hadn't come across yet on our trip as the tour guide is telling us about the history of the house I start to feel this horrible feeling in my stomach think like when you were a kid and you knew you were in trouble but your parents hadn't confronted you yet no this turned into a feeling of someone wrapping their hands around my upper right arm turning this feeling into a paralyzing sense of dread we were across the street from the house but my eyes were glued to one of the Second Story Windows this entire time I also don't

14:00

think I blinked for five minutes straight As the tour guide continued to tell the history of the house this hand started to get tighter around my arm squeezing its nails into my arm and the paralyzing panic I felt got stronger as the story went on when the tour guide told us that we were going to go to the next location I started walking and I could feel this hand to sort of drift away from my arm and I almost felt like someone walked across the street to the house taking this Panic 100 with them and then I went back to myself instantly there were also no fingernail marks on my arm so I don't know who this was whether it was someone who once worked or lived in the Mansion or maybe one of her husbands who conveniently disappeared I don't think I could turn my fiance's family into Believers after that but again their loss see you on the other side Rachel from Boston and then Rachel followed up one more time and said I was just looking at pictures for my trip and I found this dark figure in a picture that I took the day after the ghost tour I took this picture immediately after accidentally walking in front of the Mansion which is a big

15:00

No-No for New Orleans locals and if you look at the photo which we'll put in the YouTube video I'm gonna look right now it does look it's like a perfectly if you if you teach a kid how to kind of like draw oh like the Grim Reaper yeah it looks like that it almost even looks like it's holding a sheath yeah all of the reflections they're spooky wow I guess if you go with Skeptics and they themselves aren't experiencing anything you're just there as the one who's open and you feel these this pressure on your arm this overwhelming sense of dread you feel the nails but it's maybe not something that's visible to someone else that's on the tour I understand why they didn't quite turn into Believers but I would certainly here's something that I've learned in my extensive therapeutic history you know people are going to be who they are and we cannot control them and so we have to mourn the fact that

16:00

some people are going to just adamantly not believe in paranormal and this is the exact sentence like this lesson right here specifically about the Paranormal is something that I've talked about therapy you have to believe in yourself all you can do is control your own actions and hope that one day a ghost be it I or Karen or I don't know someone else come and haunt the [ __ ] out of these people and turn them for you and for all of us but even so there's I think there is something where it's hard to get past what people consider as a logical leap to believe in the Paranormal because even when people experience things they're very quick to assume that it was something else there's some chemical situation going on in your brain you had a quick hallucination maybe you were asleep that was weird I must have taken too much Benadryl you know stuff like that whereas I think we've had so many experiences that we're like of course they're gonna believe it but it goes

17:00

yeah you never know um can I really quickly show you something super fast my parents got me us talking about like you can only control yourself and your own beliefs and and the way that you move about the world reminded me a little bit of this birthday card my parents got me it says Bigfoot wanted me to wish you a happy birthday and then on the inside it says just kidding he doesn't believe in you okay it feels like kind of rude but also hilarious I thought it was hilarious I'd never seen it like this before yeah usually it's like there's a spin yeah there's a spin just kidding he doesn't believe in you we're not real Bigfoot is the only one that's real yeah wow well okay so I was gonna say about this experience like it's so interesting the way it grabbed onto her arm to me that almost makes me feel like and this is a little bit sad but like there's so many horrendous things that occurred in that home that I'm curious if this Spirit was like someone who can see me and I can interact with like take

18:00

me with you or like unburden me of these pains and Horrors that is yeah that's uh because then all of the panic kind of dissipated when it went back towards the house like it was the Panic it was the Panic yeah yeah that could be because part of another well here's another thing it could have been what if there was someone who wasn't attached at all to this house but someone who was just a spirit haunting New Orleans or a spirit within the vicinity of Rachel and their life and knowing all of the darkness that happened at the Lorry Mansion perhaps that Spirit was like gripping Rachel so hard being like do not walk over there there or something there that could potentially attach itself to you oh holding her back yeah so as soon as Rachel continued on down the path the Panic went away because no longer was Rachel at risk of encountering whatever existed across the street I like this this is a positive Spin and this is why it is fun that there's two of us and

19:00

some days one of us is really really disturbing well Rachel we're sorry you got grabbed that sounds like a very scary experience but it does sound like you were a lot of fun in New Orleans yes and also it sounds like Rachel wanted some a type of experience so you got what you asked for you encountered the spirits of New Orleans I really want to see if I can tie a sweatshirt around my neck and have kitty sleep in it so hold on okay this is why I buy oversized sweatshirts so I can Baby Bjorn kittens kittens how cute oh my gosh you're a mom this is the motherhood I'm looking for okay this is good I love it okay what do you have next I have a story okay this

Listener story: LA townhouse

is from our listener B and it's called I hope she's doing okay in that house oh well I hope she's okay too whoever she is me too you'll find out hello ladies I

20:00

moved to LA for work and I found myself in a huge apartment complex where I met my friend who I will call C C was pregnant when I met her and living with her partner who wasn't really much of a boyfriend me and C really hit it off I was over there at least three times a week she has a bright beautiful loving personality and ended up having a baby girl and ultimately needed a better place for her and her family so she moved she found a townhouse nearby that was within budget and had so much room for the baby to grow to give a brief layout of her house it was the last in the line of four townhouses with one shared wall the place next door was empty at that moment until it could be filled with new tenants so the floor you entered on had a living room a half bath and a kitchen downstairs down a long set of stairs had two bedrooms and a full bathroom then the top floor up another set of stairs had a loft situation with sliding glass doors which opened up to a large patio first of all this sounds amazing where is this in La I know after

21:00

she moved I was still over there at least twice a week eating cheese and drinking wine you know one day between me and her she said that weird things were starting to happen in the house she would come up from the bedrooms in the early morning to get ready for work and her keys would be in the middle of the living room floor or all of the lights would be on in the kitchen of course to me I'm like girl that is exactly how Paranormal Activity started but I kept that tidbit to myself eventually these stories came more and more frequent and now they were happening in broad daylight with the baby's toys going off randomly like yes I know this can happen with children's toys but it was more than just a malfunction particularly there was a toy that was activated when it was sat on the toy would start going off throughout the day she mentioned that she was trying to be funny probably in the midst of some type of nervous moment and said something to the effect of please stop messing with the toys the baby is trying to sleep immediately the toys stopped being triggered she wasn't

22:00

against the idea that there could be a ghost in the house and after these events she figured maybe there's a kid Spirit who just wanted to play again she was just being the sweet woman that she is and didn't really mind the idea so she started talking about it more openly with her partner who admittedly denies the existence of ghosts and mentioned if we believed it was a ghost that that was not a Christian thing to believe so basically we realized we weren't able to talk to him about it or talk about it around him from there on out without him telling us we were crazy and if we let those thoughts in bad things will come from those thoughts however things got creepier one day when he was out of the house she told me that she was sick with a pretty bad cough and had decided through the night to go sleep in the living room on the second floor while her partner and daughter stayed sleeping downstairs this way she could cough without waking them up so she slept upright on the couch she needed to be up at 5am to get ready for work and this was pre-covered times when you still went to work with a cold and she went up to the living room around 4am and had

23:00

just began drifting back to sleep when she heard sprinting up the stairs she jumped up from the couch thinking it was her partner running up the stairs to her because something was wrong with the baby but then she realized the footsteps she heard were loud like boots on hardwood floors the stairs from downstairs were carpeted leaving the only stairs to The Loft which were in fact hardwood she heard the glass doors rattling up in the Loft with no one around obviously she couldn't go back to sleep and was just awake understandably shook up she didn't tell her partner about it because she did not want to hear more dismissal of her experiences so of course she shared it with me two days later when I came over for cheese and wine we start looking for ways she can find out the history of this townhouse prior owners and all that but in La stuff like that is buried like 400 feet underground the next time I visit she tells me nothing big has happened besides the toys over the week but that she started to hear a buzzing in the house that travels around the room she would hear it in the bedroom and almost Drive herself crazy trying to find the source but each time should we get to where it

24:00

sounded loudest it would seemingly move it would mostly happen in the bedroom but also around other parts of the lower level she also mentioned she was able to find out who lived in the house right before them when male accidentally came to her so she actually Facebook messaged this person and asked to speak with her this is so cool she said the woman told her she didn't really experience anything in the house but she also practiced a lot of meditation and yoga where she did a lot of chanting to keep negative energies out of her life in space so helped a little bit it's also interesting the reason I write this story is because not only did she experience it there but I too who has not experienced much had my own event there that made me uncomfortable I volunteered to babysit baby girl so they could go out for the day so me and the little one were going to get lunch at a burrito spot down the street I took her downstairs to put on some socks and to put pants on her as we were down there I started hearing the buzzing being naturally curious I tried to see where it was coming from again very unspecific and I could not find the source as I was

25:00

so focused on finding the buzzing I hear running in heavy boots down the hardwood stairs slow to walking right above us oh the boots were so heavy they sounded like they were on a 300 pound military man my initial thought was my friend forgot something but then as I sat in the thought holding baby girl I immediately got a sense of feeling uneasy and in danger so I held her super tight sprinted as fast as I could up the stairs right out the door without socks and all I'm not the type to look for whatever I heard in that case I am the type to run which is what I did this last incident made me cry and still gives me the chills today C went to sleep one night and explained she could hear the buzzing all night before she could fall asleep and it was louder than usual she decided to ignore it and sleep anyway her the baby and her partner all shared a bed with her little Chihuahua as she was sleeping she says she had a dream that she was locked in a closet she says she could see police lights through the slots in the door but still

26:00

felt in danger she said all of a sudden a blade slid through the door and pierced her in the shoulder and says that she felt the immense pain and felt the warm blood dripping from her shoulder she woke up and could still feel the pain in her shoulder she was like I couldn't go back to sleep so I decided to stay awake shortly after that her chihuahua starts growling towards the door and won't stop she swears in that moment she saw the door handle turn the door cracked open and then shut again she didn't feel safe to wake her partner with the story so she stewed in it and stayed awake she said a few hours later her partner starts almost yelling but with his mouth closed she said it was like multiple yells not just a brief one she didn't wake him up and the next morning he woke up and shared with her that he had a nightmare where many people were standing around him murmuring but their faces were blurred his mouth was sewn shut and he was screaming for her he felt immense dread and truly scared oh my gosh I don't

27:00

think she shared her part of the story because she wouldn't want to freak him out or maybe even admit it to herself that much either unfortunately her and I haven't kept in touch much shortly after that because her partner was a pretty difficult person to be around and banished me from seeing her so I really do Wonder all the time how she's doing I hope she's doing okay in that house thank you for all that you both do you have brought me so much positivity to a realm of Storytelling that could be so dark you're a joy to listen to stay spooky and a little kooky bee oh my goodness I hope she's okay in that house too yeah and that the baby is okay yeah I but I am curious because we've heard stories of like babies kind of bringing about onset of activity like I wonder if it's the combo of the new house and the baby that made it more intense yeah especially because the person before them experienced nothing although it does sound like that person surrounded

28:00

themselves with such light and positivity that they weren't an easy target not to say I hate saying that because then that makes it seem like someone's doing something wrong to be a Target which no one is but I think the fact that there is a maybe there's like another younger energy source something that could attract and Intrigue a dark spirit that has maybe been lurking for a while now especially because the feeling the bee got was that they were in danger it wasn't just like someone because I think there's a very clear difference between the energy that we feel when it's like oh this could be a loved one or there's a little old lady in the house that just like watches over everybody and feeling dread and discomfort and danger and literally sprinting out the door with the baby with one sock on to get yourselves out of there right and it's I mean it's interesting the way that b said c was open to the idea of a little like ghost kid because at first it was just the toys going off right so it's like it's almost like we you say it all

29:00

the time little kid ghosts they're just trying to trick you and they're actually something darker because oftentimes they are it doesn't sound like a childlike at all anymore now it's 300 pound heavy boots running up and down the stairs shaking the doors that are on the Loft and the buzzing the buzzing really really freaks me out because it makes me think of like a swarm of bees or a swarm of flies which we know to be related to demonic entities and I also associate the sound of buzzing with when people are about to experience sleep paralysis because that's what I have experienced or almost like actual projection too where around me there's like a like it sounds like I'm in a plain bathroom basically there's like suction and a lot of noise and so with the buzzing I was like is this is this the space around them basically trying to put them into a more vulnerable state or like draw themselves into draw this person into like another plane I don't know I don't

30:00

I like that but those nightmares are nope the night yeah I think especially because they both had it and it it's probably so hard for C to like not be able to talk openly about the Paranormal aspect of it which again demonic entities like to isolate people yeah C is the perfect Target because she can't talk to her partner about it and now B is not in her life oh my God gosh I know B you gotta go drive by say hi just check in yeah just check in just see how how they're doing or send me the address I'll check in but I feel like this is a PSA to everyone that if you feel like you're in that situation where you're experiencing things and it's scary and it's isolating and there's no one around you that you can talk to please go on campfire stories please find our our Facebook page our Discord there's us and then there's a whole community of people who are there to listen and chat with you about what you're experiencing because you're definitely not alone it shouldn't feel isolating it's scary to

31:00

experience these things but there's a whole lot of people that are here to listen to you to support you to help you through it yeah very well said wow should we start soliciting should I just start like walking door to door and say hi are is your home haunted and they're gonna be like who is this girl who's wearing a kitten in her sweatshirt slung over her body and I'm gonna wear my black eye contacts and would just be a creepy black-eyed kid so sitting at the door asking if your home is haunted here's the thing I don't think you'd look that out of place being that you live in Los Angeles I feel like that'd be like oh yep that makes sense it would be terrifying are you kidding me well yeah it would be terrifying but I I feel like there's some personalities that in some costumes and some styles that there are probably people in similar get-ups out there right now okay this is really funny so I met a couple people a couple weekends ago and this one guy was like we were just talking and I was like I

32:00

can't remember I said something and he goes yeah you're weird I was like does that surprise you and he goes no the second you met me you told me that you have a podcast all about paranormal and the ghost like I knew you were weird like yeah it kind of comes with the territory never get rid of your weird it's my favorite part of everybody never get rid of your weird I want that on a shirt we have so many shirts coming most haunted friend never get rid of your weird never get rid of it well this

Listener story: Ouija board

is a good story this is called not that any of them sorry all the other stories are bad and this one good they're all amazing which is why we read them and try to read them all okay this one's called Ouija and Great Grandpa hello spooky ladies Alyssa again she they this is the story of the experience with my great grandpa who passed away in 2018 who I believe was playing with my one-year-old I was a junior in high school and I remember part of my dream the next morning I had an image of a human heart pumping and then it just stops I woke up to my mom

33:00

coming into my room I felt dread when I first woke up but then my mom never comes into my room in the morning so I figure something's wrong so I meant it as a joke but I asked her who died now mainly because in 2017 my great-grandma had died from breast cancer and my mom said paw died I felt my heart sink and it felt like it stopped um I was closest with my great grandpa my paw his name was Richard we called him dick and then my grandma who's still alive so I was destroyed I immediately started bawling my eyes out and my mom said I'll call the school and tell them that you're not coming in I said no I need to go to school I just can't be around moping all day little did I realize it was the memorial service of a program we called every 15 minutes which is about drunk driving so every two years our schools Flex well-known students from each grade and then has them pinch their faces and act dead so I was crying in the back row of the auditorium during the memorial service so traumatic my school did that too but

34:00

I skipped all of those days mine did not really yeah I think they like brought like a car from the impound lot that had been in a drunk driving accident to show like how devastating the crash is but they didn't have anyone fake dead now I think we definitely did people would have to like go leave school at certain times of the day because they'd be like oh they're no longer with us your best friend's not in your math class anymore it was a scary way to teach kids jeez so now my Ouija board story my mom had bought me a Ouija board and I've always loved the supernatural so my Mom figured that this would make me happy the first time I'd ever used it was with my other two friends let's call them cat and Jay both girls and cat had originally wanted to play so I stated what we needed and to follow the rules Jay wanted nothing to do with it she's very religious but we started asking questions and in order to know that neither of them were moving the plan chat I asked what my brother's name was

35:00

not just his initials and it spelled out j a m e s James which is his name and neither of the girls knew that I had a brother since he's a half-brother who lived in Ohio which is where I was born and we were playing at the board in Arizona do you think my half sister and half brother are gonna do this what's my sister's name and it's like nothing evil came out of the board and we found out some names of people who were on the land before but something a little alarming towards the end did happen I noticed I had got a rash on my leg and we hadn't used any new detergent or carpet cleaner or anything and I didn't scratch my leg so I'm not really sure why I got this rash out of nowhere my next story this happened in the same house that we used the Ouija board in but this time it was in my bedroom versus in the living room so this time cat J and B all agreed to play with the Ouija board so we asked some of the same questions but this time we found out more about who lived on the land before

36:00

and damn it was gruesome oh trigger warning for rape murder and suicide now okay I will be telling the story these Spirits told the four of us there was a family a young girl her friend a little boy a mother a father the mother's brother I don't remember their names and these Ouija board experiences happened when I was 14 years old but the little girl was around our age at the time so about 14 and so was her friend they had stated that they had both been assaulted and then murdered the little boy stated that he had also died by the hands of the same person and the mother had been shot the father also killed by the same person who killed the little boy and the two little girls oh my gosh this person was their Uncle he committed all of these murders and then he himself died we were so scared from the information that this younger girl told us and then B pointed out that I had the rash on my arm again and I don't know how it happened so we all just said goodbye because it started to feel really unsettling and then Jay started joking

37:00

Jesus Take the Wheel but with none of us by the planchette it shot across the board and then across my bedroom ah wait did they not close out I think they did say goodbye okay but it's still something still was out there and doing something oh okay okay so Flash Forward this happened last year with my husband who was a huge skeptic as you can both tell I certainly am a believer and I am very sensitive my husband decided that he wanted to play with the Ouija board and I asked him if we could do it a different night since I was tired and I didn't really want him to play alone of course he said no and he played alone while I had my eyes closed listening to him ask questions every time he asked a question a word or phrase popped into my head which I would say before the Ouija board spelled it out that he was working on whoa and then would stop my husband asked multiple questions and every time the response in my head was the same response that the Ouija board had said or is working out my husband says goodbye and then looks at me and asks how did you know what it was going to

38:00

say I told him I don't really know my eyes were closed most of the time I couldn't see what it was spelling but I just verbalized what was coming into my head speaking of things in my head my husband has a cousin fly into Tennessee which is where we lived he's in the Army and when I first met her I wanted to call her Magpie which while she was staying with us I found out that her younger brother had passed away a few years before and that is what he called her which I've never heard anyone call her that we call her Maggie but I just knew to call her Magpie that's really really cool and so sweet so sweet I see you on the other side Alyssa that's a lot Alyssa I don't even know where to start Alyssa I think you're not supposed to play with a Ouija board well that and I also just think Alyssa is like a like a can Channel Spirits like she she is a medium but almost like can become a vessel for them okay first I'm sorry for your loss of your grandfather it does sound like the dream where she saw the human heart beating and then stop almost is like a direct

39:00

chord I mean it 100 is direct correlation to me like I I believe that it was the sign in terms of the terrifying and gruesome and horrific story that these spirits on the board were telling Alyssa and her friends I'm curious because if something like that happened at this house I think it would be easy to find records of that unless it's like old old old like old-timey like early settlement kind of stuff but part of me wonders if it's just like similar to the Rick story indominus like episode 12 this entity almost telling horrific stories to frighten rather than it actually being real especially because the first session that Alyssa did with her friends they weren't getting anything startling right like they were just learning a few things but the rash was still there so it was it was almost like the rashes Alyssa's body's response to something evil being near right it's like her own anaphylaxis to something that is going

40:00

to harm allergic to Demons she's Alyssa's allergic to Demons totally and her body was trying to tell her like this thing that's trying to gain your trust and just trying to like be oh or just having a silly little Ouija board session you should not be near this thing and then I think it's very clear that the second time they played and how much things escalated and were so incredibly disturbing very disturbing it does make and then the rash came back it does make me think that there that this wasn't necessarily just a group of spirits who belonged to a family that it had horrific ends to their lives I hope it's not true I know I hope so I I hope that it's a demon and that there wasn't a family who went through all of this and I'm sure yeah it's sad because I know in history that there are but I yeah want this one instance to be made up by a demon I have a story to

Listener story: Alaskan spirits

okay there's kind of a bunch of different things in this so it is from

41:00

our listener Aaron and is called Alaska has spooky happenings too I never hear Tales from Alaska unless it's about Israel keys so if you ever visit Seward Alaska has a haunted AF hotel called the van Gilder people see a woman's face there and tubs turn on the place gives me the creep so I would never stay there as I attract negative Spirits uh like flies to fruit y'all have fun though thanks Aaron's like you guys go I feel like I do that to you though Korean obsessed with the Pod and YouTube videos please never stop I wish I found you all sooner but everything happens for a reason this is a story about how I was spiritually saved by my friend banished a demon and became a psychic or something the ending is sweet Bittersweet but sweet so I've attached photos of my pupper as well his name is Bash because he's so bashful much love okay this story is dedicated to Preston Atwood May our brave hero rest in peace content warning childhood neglect drug

42:00

addiction psychosis abuse animal abuse murder and of course demons and ghosts I am sorry to end on this one I should have done the I should have done Auntie Mika's last I know well at least you guys have a cute kitty with a little paws out you can look at if you're watching on YouTube yeah um I do want to call her demon because she bites so much and she is a little demon Michael come here you're a little demon okay due to the supernatural nature of this podcast there will still be a black hole of Wonder awaiting I was born into the perfect home I had the taste of Glory so you must understand why I became so angry as my life dwindled to Darkness perhaps that is why I was susceptible to the demon of this tale my home fell to the broken filth of an addict I remember times without food running water or heat times where animals were so neglected they'd go the bathroom inside and move to the neighbors other kids didn't like me because I was smelly and the lunch lady couldn't feed me because my mom made too much money the system doesn't take into account that some people will blow all of that money on drugs luckily

43:00

for my brother and I we had a safe haven at my father's house even if he couldn't connect emotionally he knew how to support us physically my dad would let me take his bed some nights so I could get some better rest for school this though was not one of those nights no this was the night I had my first encounter I was up too late on my iPad when I suddenly felt the need to put it down and look up when I did I saw a full-grown man in a top hat and a trench coat standing over me with a scowl I will never forget my 10 year old ass froze unable to breathe before finally deciding to just hide under my blankets you see this apartment complex had been a brothel before the 1964 earthquake and tsunami if you know Alaska it won't be hard to pinpoint the town I am talking about the next time I encountered this man it was just his voice I didn't want to watch old western movies with my family so I was hanging out in my brother's room as I got a glass of water I heard a man say leave or die wow petrified I asked my father if the TV

44:00

said that to my dismay he said no looking back I'm thankful the ghostly [ __ ] happened at my dad's house because my mom's was already chaotic enough dads just needed the spice I guess about a week or so later my friends heard the same thing I lied to her and told her it was the TV considering what comes next I think this man actually was trying to warn me not threaten me this night my dad gave up his bed for me and at this point I taught myself to cry myself to sleep because I had such bad insomnia and I thought it was the quickest way to bed I promise this story has a positive ending this night the tears came from a particularly dark place in my dream I was in my dad's bed he was fading out the door when a garbage green humanoid with yellow eyes jump out of the upper corner of the room scratching my ankle oh I woke up immediately after this and I realized my ankle was actually burning I never actually looked for a scratch and honestly mostly wrote it off until I was 15. by age 15 my anger and depression

45:00

had peaked most of my memories were of Darkness I had completely sworn off God and swore that nothing was real very dramatic I am a Leo but also I don't play in that little girl I hated everything happy birthday happy birthday my mom had been sent to rehab after having that option of rehab or prison she left a bunker of a house and with a few months of rent paid off so my brother and I took this opportunity to smoke some pot for a couple of teens this was the [ __ ] one day with the couch pushed up to the table and some tears around it Preston showed up he sat right next to me with his goofy walk a big smile little did I know that this is the day he'd become my best friend I want to say I believe whatever you put Power to is what is real all religions are valid and it's not my place to discriminate I just ask that you give this part an open mind as I cannot explain it any other way so we passed a bong around and Preston would Shield his mouth with his hand as to hide it from the people in the chairs and whispered to me I can't

46:00

remember what he was saying I only remember this profound level of Consciousness and deep inner understanding me saying dude what the [ __ ] that's so true in him saying I know there were moments of blacking out of Consciousness like something else was taking me and pretending to be me and there were moments of him cracking jokes about how everyone else thinks we're talking [ __ ] about them little did they know then onto topics of demons I don't remember how we got there but I remembered the Dream from when I was 10. he said to me ask in your head what its name is with some doubt I did in my head I asked what is your name a male voice replied in my [ __ ] head where it had always been my voice and said asmodius Preston told me it was lying but I didn't believe him after passing the bong around some more Preston started praying eventually he turned to me and said did you see it I asked see what but when I went to blank my eyes stayed shut I saw a green light and was filled with more love and peace than I had ever felt for a neglected child you might understand why that was meaningful the light said hello and was gone just like

47:00

that in my heart I knew that this was the Holy Spirit and that Preston had just saved my life however the demon wasn't gone and definitely he wasn't the king of demons as modius but I wouldn't lean this learn this until later I was confounded and immediately Googled that name when I got home only to realize that asmodius I shouldn't have said it three times but is the name of an actual demon I had never heard of it before and how was that in my head I wondered as I slipped into my own addiction to stimulants I went into what I can only describe as God Mania Googling every conspiracy and setting everything down to quantum physics trying to make sense of anything and finally believing in myself to learn something life was so vivid I was frantically writing down some Theory when I blacked out only for a few moments and when I came back to I looked at my paper pencil still in hand and saw in perfect cursive upside down to tell me those are the words to tell me these days I wonder if that angry man was trying to secretly warn me I still don't understand what that was but I immediately scribbled it out and kept

48:00

the paper for years I got fully sober at 19 when I was 17 I started hanging out with a bunch of hippies and abruptly stopped doing cocaine if you know anything about substance abuse you know this is extremely dangerous the hair that broke the camel's back for me was my cat dying he had been my brother and I's Rock and I slipped into an aggressive psychosis and because of the way I was raised no one noticed I was great at hiding who I was inside I couldn't tell my foot from my shoe I thought my co-workers were going to lock me into the garage and well I saw and felt Preston die on repeat I only wish I could have put the pieces back together sooner now as I do acknowledge the spiritual side to the psychotic illness I do not think my psychosis should be written off as a spiritual awakening nothing in my life had felt that confusing or scary not even the demon I got back with my ex who became pretty abusive and moved in not great for someone who has no idea what reality is at some point in my psychosis it showed me a white room where I was in a cage surrounded by Blood guts and a sleeping

49:00

demon thinking this was real I spoke in tongues and did a weird tricky shot motion to hand my X the lighter when he demanded it in another delusion a more comforting one the room was my mother's womb and I was safe not comfortable to look back on however drugs are bad okay kids God I should have taken that South Park man's words more seriously so after my ex tried to hold me captive and I escaped I never went back I would Shake in fear and run when I saw him in my small ass town and my dad now living in a non-haunted townhouse let me stay there where I laid in bed for eight months to a year I loved this place and I was able to heal and my family pushed me to get therapy I tried to go therapy again this year but the lady told me I was just connected so I flipped out and left not all the delusions are premonitions sadly the one about Preston was because a year after the episode where I kept seeing him die over and over he was tragically killed on a beach

50:00

by a group of people when I got the call that he was missing I assumed he had just gone into the woods but then they found his body and it all hit me I had seen it coming I decided I needed to give him something beautiful to watch from heaven so I vowed to do everything I never thought I would I met some witches online who taught me how to banish demon so I did just as Preston would have wanted I was so weak from laying in bed so I started going on short Beach walks until I started lifting weights at the gym I retaught myself cognitive speech by recording myself and watching it over as well as listening to podcasts I moved out of Alaska traveled the states fell in love with living in my car started a YouTube channel and eventually made my way back home to the land of the Midnight Sun and I finally fell in love with myself for me but also for Preston the hero who reignited my spark and My Love For Life ultimately in circles back around to him showing me the light of love the Holy Spirit I hope in every life that we are friends and I know he thinks I am brave thank you for reading my solemn tale if

51:00

you'd like to shout out my YouTube It's bum Barbie XO with a series called urban car life poverty shouldn't mean misery so we will make the best of it I love you guys so much and I'm obsessed with encounters knowing I'm not alone in this crazy spiritual world is very comforting I found y'all through morbid so I'm a new listener but definitely a lifer with love Erin your favorite Alaskan Aaron I don't even know what to begin with because I'm so sorry for everything that you had to experience in life it's so it just feels so I mean there's nothing really to to say because I wanted to say like it feels unfair when children have to go through something like this it is but it's also about what you do to help yourself heal and I'm really glad that Aaron it sounds like you are taking all of the steps that you need to to get yourself into a good place where you get to live the life that makes you feel good and comfortable and I'm sorry that things happen to people that you loved

52:00

around you that are so horrific oh my gosh I know and it's so hard I think one of the toughest Journeys I mean and all of this is awful but like in growing up in a home where there's childhood neglect you're not taught how to love or be loved in a proper way so it's so beautiful to see and hear that Aaron is in a place in her life that she loves herself and has found yeah the ability to do that yeah and I am so grateful that Aaron shared the story with us because it is a struggle whether in the exact same way or in a slightly similar or just even very different way humanity is a struggle and life is difficult but there's hope and I think Aaron's story gives us all hope and I feel like I learned a lot from Aaron here too because when Aaron was talking about the experience with the therapist and the therapist basically being like you're connected you're spiritual you know it's not always helpful in all of in every scenario to just assume someone is parenting the Paranormal is psychic is this or that and it could be the flip

53:00

side too it's it's not always helpful to assume that what someone's experiencing can't be beyond our understanding and our scope of of science under our scientific belief so I think it is important to remember that there's not so much polarity to everything and that there there are things I don't really know what I'm saying I don't know if it's complicated life is complicated dualities to everything nothing is straightforward nothing is black and white however many cliche statements we can say we're just so glad that you're all with us we love you all so much and life can be really [ __ ] hard and I'm saying that from personal experience I'm saying it from viewing other people's lives and I'm just grateful that I have you Corinne I'm grateful I have this community and that you all have each other and ultimately we're here we're here for you I know people are like oh like I feel

54:00
