True Paranormal Encounters | Ghosts Crash the Girls Trips & Bachelorette Parties (x324)

0:00

Ghosts just want girls nights. They want to be included.

They don't want the pressure. It's just about having fun.

Just hanging out.

Just seeing where the night goes. It's not like a perform for me unless we decide to learn a choreographed dance together to perform.

We've themed this episode girls trip.

Weird, fun, spooky things that happen when you're just with your ghouls.

Very spooky.

G- g- g- girls trip.

It's a girls room.

It's the girls room. Welcome to the girls room.

[laughter]

Um hi. This is Two Girls One Ghost.

Two Girls One Ghost. And we are your ghostesses. That is Corinne.

Hello.

I'm Sabrina. And yeah, we're going on a

1:00

girls trip. Right now via your stories. [laughter]

It's an encounters episode so we read your haunted experiences. But we've themed this episode girls trip.

Bachelorette, girls trip, weird, fun, spooky things that happen when you're just with your ghouls.

Mhm. Do you want to start?

Do I? Sure. Okay. Well, okay, I'll start with one that I'm very excited about because this starts with the context of a girls trip that we went on many moons ago.

did?

Yeah, for my bachelorette.

Ah, Nola.

New Orleans. And we infamously, truly infamously because we were put in the tabloids because of this.

Still our only moment

in the news, in the press. We caught an image that we really believe is a ghost penis. And one of our listeners believes they found the head to the peen.

Like the tip of the peen?

No, like the face of the person whose penis it was.

And as context, the Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, which is or in bar, which is where

2:00

we caught the image of the penis, all the tour guides and people say that often the image of a head is caught.

Jean Lafitte's head is captured when taking photos inside a non-working fireplace that is open from both sides. So, it's in the middle of the bar. There's like seating on either side where people can just like sit and have beers or whatever. But, if you take a photo, you can see through, but sometimes in the center, hanging right where a flame would be, is the face of Jean Lafitte.

We caught his penis.

Yeah.

Or he flashed us his penis. So, this is from our listener Allison, who was on a girls' trip in New Orleans and captured what most people do capture in the fireplace, but it goes with our penis.

[snorts]

Ours. It's our penis.

Our penis.

[laughter]

Sometimes I really wish I had a penis.

Oh.

What would you think of somebody saying that?

Oh, you're tied to my shared penises, and then all of a sudden I was like, "Where are we going?"

Oh, you like sharing a penis.

3:00

[laughter]

I do not want to be a sister-wife. No.

[laughter]

No, I just would like to have one for a day.

All right, but this one's more PG. There's a There's a face.

Yes. Okay.

Lafitte’s head

Hi ladies. I love your podcast. I love you guys. All right, let's get into it. So, there's a first story before First, I'm going to tell you the story of how I opened my mind to believing in ghosts. I used to work at a retail store in downtown Seattle, and I often worked nights floor set shifts, where we would be there from 9:00 p.m. until early in the morning setting out new product and switching out displays. On one of those nights, probably around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., let's just say 3:00 for the vibes, I was on the ground floor working on an upper display, while the rest of the team was upstairs on the second floor. I had headphones in listening to music pretty loud, because I obviously hadn't discovered your podcast yet, because otherwise I would have been listening to that. But, I was listening to music and I was standing on a ladder adjusting the display when suddenly I felt a very distinctive poke on my ankle.

4:00

And I figured it was just another member of my team needing my attention, but I didn't hear them over my music. So, I looked down and no one was there. I was like, "Okay, weird." And I just get back to what I was doing. 10 minutes later, I finished the upper display. I got down and went into the stock room to put away my supplies. Not long after, I hear this banging on the door. And these are really heavy stock room doors, heavy silver metal doors. You have to hit pretty hard to make that level of noise that I was hearing. Again, I assume someone from upstairs needs me and their hands are full, so they're kicking the door or something. But, I go and again, there's no one there. When I finally get upstairs to the rest of the team, I ask if anyone was downstairs looking for me and my manager was like, uh, "No. Why?" So, I told him what was happening and he just gaslit me saying I was imagining things cuz I was tired.

What?

At this point in my life, I didn't believe in ghosts. I guess I didn't not believe, I just didn't really think about it. But, the poke on my ankle was so specific, I have no other explanation for it.

5:00

One of my co-workers, when I told this story, then came over to me and told me she once felt a tap on her shoulder in that same area of the building. So, definitely not imagining things cuz I'm tired. From then on, anytime something weird would happen, we like to blame it on the ghost. Before it was a store I worked at, it was an FAO Schwarz store.

Oh, the giant toy store. Of course that's haunted.

[laughter]

Which also like how cool I almost would want to do an overnight in one of those places.

I know.

That would be really fun. Like the giant at the museum vibes. Does the giant Toys "R" Us still exist in Times Square?

Oh, I don't know. Because every other Toys "R" Us went out of business, right?

Yeah. That cuz that would be a really

Mhm.

cool one.

Okay.

So, now for the story I teased about in the subject line. Not long after the episode you recorded where you talked about Sabrina's bachelorette party in New Orleans, I found out my best friend wanted to have her bachelorette party in New Orleans as well. So, of course, I re-listened to the episode to take some

6:00

notes about things to see and I passed them along to the girl organizing the trip. And finally, we got there. It was the first night and we did a ghost tour. We were filled with stories of Delphine LaLaurie, voodoo, zombies, vampires, and of course, ghosts. About halfway through the tour, we stopped to do a bathroom and drink refill break at none other than Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop. I got so excited and of course, told all the other people in my group about you guys catching a photo of ghost penis and I was excitedly showing them the photo.

[laughter]

And all of them, including our tour guide, was like, "What the fuck?" I love that. The tour guide now knows.

Yeah.

While we were waiting for everyone to get their drinks, my friend and I start taking selfies near the fireplace, joking like, "Ooh, what if we also catch a ghost penis?" Our tour resumes. We ended up spending the rest of the night out on Bourbon Street. You know, it gets wild and then we go home. The next day, my friend and I are scrolling through our photos and I see her freeze. And she shows me the photo we took at Lafitte's. Right behind our heads, you can see a face. It's a live photo, so I watched it a

7:00

couple of times to make sure it's not a trick of the light and I even compared it to your photo where you had the flash on to see if it's just a light patch in the brick, but I don't think it is. It kind of looks like a Guy Fawkes mask, mustache and all. There's also a strange shadow over my shoulder. I'm on the right. It kind of looks like a hand, but that might just be me wanting it to be a ghost. I'm not really sure. So, what do you think? Face of a ghost or just a trick of the light? Love you, spooky queens and especially precious Leia. Allison.

Do you have the photo?

Mhm.

Ooh. Uh yeah, I know that totally looks like a face.

Right.

With like the ear. It almost looks like a gargoyle.

It does It is very much like the Guy Fawkes mask, but I do feel like this has like a larger nose.

But isn't the story that someone like put the the guy's face into the fireplace?

Mhm. Yeah.

I can't remember like all the hauntings of it. But so like he does have kind of have a deformed face, which would make sense if your face is put into the fire.

8:00

Right.

[sighs]

Fun.

[laughter]

You caught something. Ghost evidence.

Yeah, I mean like you can see where the ears are.

In comparison to the eyes, like you can see the bone structure.

Right.

looks like a face.

It looks like a face.

Dang. What a bachelorette trip.

How fun. Love catching ghost photos on bachelorette trips.

I also love how many emails we got where it was like we did a girls trip and it's like someone with their kids or someone with their mom and their grandma or something. It's still a girls trip.

Absolutely. Even if it's not with your girl friends. It's just your friends who you're related to.

Oh, I cannot wait for a girls trip with like my sister and my nieces. Yeah. Like just the four of us.

Oh, and when you can do Well, I know you guys don't live near each other, but like I feel like the I always see really fun videos and stuff online of people being like sleepover at your aunt's house or like a weekend with your aunt and it's like the best time ever and just like amazing experience.

9:00

teaching Noemi about what a slumber party is.

Of course.

Yes. So, she's already prepared. She's ready. I'm getting her very ready for

South Dakota girls’ trip

it.

Okay, this is from Jan. Here is my ghostal note sized story.

Ghostal note?

I I like that. It's a petite story.

Okay.

In 2014, my two daughters and I took a girls trip to South Dakota where my parents both were born. We went to Deadwood and stayed at the Bullock Hotel. It was built and owned by George Bullock back in the day, the old Wild West days, and his presence is said to still be there. So, of course we took the ghost walk. It was interesting, but we had no spooky experiences. Later that night, we were all asleep in the same room about 1:00 a.m. and I felt a cold, wet touch on my hand.

Ew, the wet. I don't like that.

It felt like the size of an eraser. That's really the only way I can think to describe it.

think that's like a tongue? Ah! [gasps] Oh, no! No, but you're going to like it.

Oh, okay.

10:00

I raised up in bed thinking it was one of my daughters, but they were still sleeping. So, then I started to lay back down when I heard, clear as day, "Meow."

Ah! Oh,

[laughter]

okay, that's such a relief.

I held still for a moment, but nothing else happened. So, I just went back to sleep. [snorts] The next morning, I told my girls about my funny dream and we all laughed. Before we checked out, we were talking to a bartender and he asked if we saw anything weird on our ghost tour. My daughter jokingly said, "No, but Mom heard a cat. Does that count?" He stopped wiping the glasses and turned around. "You're staying on the third floor, right?" he asked. We were. He continued, "Our customers have encounters with cats up there.

No, but

I can assure you, there are no cats in the hotel and we do not know where they come from, but there are definitely ghost cats here."

And they're licking you in your in your sleep.

Yes, giving you kisses. So, yay, I realized that I did hear a ghost cat and I got touched by a wet,

11:00

cold ghost kitty nose.

Oh my god.

Either a nose or like you totally got like

a ghost kitty kiss.

A kitty kiss.

That's the best. [laughter]

Right? It starts out spooky cuz you're like, "Ew, what is touching me?"

Well, cuz I immediately thought of like people can lick, too.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh my god, that's such a good one.

Right?

Now I want to stay there.

The Bullock Hotel?

Third floor.

Deadwood, South Car- South Carolina South Dakota.

The South something.

Very If you were expecting South Carolina and you ended up

[laughter]

in South Dakota, it's going to be very different.

different experiences.

Wow. That's special.

Yeah, that's a great trip. I love that.

Ghost cats.

Would love to go.

Yeah.

I'm going to reach out to that hotel.

This episode also just reminds me so much of like all the investigations we've done cuz we do them very like slumber party girls trip vibe.

Yeah. And it's just so fun.

cuz that's just always been the default. We never gone into anything being like

12:00

Yeah.

I don't know. I guess that's just Are we just girls trip? Is that just a great dinner?

I think we we live vicariously as girls trip.

Yeah.

Like if Travel Channel was like, "I'm giving you girls a show. You're going to do investigations like this." I'd be like, "No."

Yeah, no we we would have to make it be

We need our snacks. We need our our games, our like things to do with our ghosts.

Lots of snacks.

a ghost tried to ruin my bachelorette party

Okay, let's see. This one is called a ghost tried to ruin my bachelorette party.

Oh my god. [laughter]

And this is from Steph.

Wow.

Okay. Hi Corinne and Sabrina. I'm shamelessly resending this story with a catchier subject line hoping to get your attention. But in all seriousness, I'm pretty sure a ghost crashed my bachelorette party. Before anyone says anything, I would like to share that at the time of my bachelorette party, I was

14:00

not a big drinker. I think I had one drink the whole night and none of my bridesmaids got hammered, so I really don't think alcohol was a factor in what we experienced.

I love how uh Steph says at the time I was not a big drinker, which almost like insinuates that maybe now Steph is

she's like getting drunk all the time.

I have a bottle of wine every night now, but back in the day

one drink maximum. Okay. Well, this is sweet. I'd also like to start this story by saying my sister is a saint. She was so nervous about being my maid of honor and making sure everything was perfect. And all I wanted for my bachelorette party was a low-key sleepover with my best friend where we could stuff our faces and watch rom-coms all night. So

Wait, I think I've told you this before. I was so nervous that Lexi wasn't going to plan your bachelorette like that something would go wrong that I made backup reservations for every single meal and every single day for your bachelorette and then just as things worked out, I would cancel them.

Yeah. [laughter]

Well, I did it

15:00

like, this is not going to cuz we had a really big party. I was like, we're not risking something going wrong here.

Well, and I think I also told you because when I told my sister what I wanted cuz my sister and I were both engaged and like planning weddings kind of around the same time. I'm also divorced in case people are confused.

[laughter]

This is a past life of mine.

This was a girls' trip.

This was just a girls' trip. Um but when I told her I wanted to have like a vampire theme night, she was like so disgusted. And she was like, "I do not want that for mine." I was like, "I'm not saying for yours. Like, I know Trust me, I would never plan a vampire night for you."

wasn't going to New Orleans. She was going [laughter] to Vegas.

Yeah. Anyway, she did a great job, but that's the thing.

a great job. But I had I had her back just in case she needed it.

I think she low-key is like disturbed by how weird I am.

[laughter]

Actually, it's not even low-key. She's very up front about it. She's like, "You're so [ __ ] weird."

[laughter]

Whatever.

And I'm proud of it.

16:00

Okay. Weird people are more fun.

I agree. My sister's fun, too, but you know.

But we're a little uh less predictable.

Yeah. You never know what's going to happen. So, we decided to rent an Airbnb in our hometown, and it was perfect. It was a two-story home with a cute little backyard. When you walked into the house, you entered a landing {slash} hallway with two staircases, one going up and one going down. The one that went up led into a large bedroom, and the one that led down led to the living room and kitchen. On the main floor, right off the front door, were two bedrooms and a bathroom. This house had tons of Instagrammable rooms and decor and could fit the whole bridal party comfortably. I was so excited to spend the night with my favorite ladies. Sounds perfect. What could go wrong? However, what I didn't know going in was that my sister's friend recommended we lie on the Airbnb application and said only three people would be staying in the house. I'm not sure if it's because it was a bachelorette party and we wouldn't have been approved by the owner or if my

17:00

sister was just trying to save money, but that's what she did. She put three people. So, I get to the Airbnb on the day of my bachelorette party, and it already starts off weird. I'm carrying in my suitcase, and I see the neighbor across the street taking photos of me and the other girls going in. Okay, weird. But, I didn't give it much thought. She wasn't exactly hiding what she was doing, and I'm not confrontational enough to say something, so we just kept going about our business and going into the house. That is like suspicious. I mean, that would make me uncomfortable, the neighbor taking pictures of me.

Oh, yeah. But, I understand like as a group, you have an expectation of like how the weekend's going to go, and so even though like you might want to say something, sometimes you're like, "Let's just let things go and like see how

I was so non-confrontational, but that's my MO. Just head down, keep going. My sister wasn't nervous about it. She was calm. She was convinced the lady was just sending pics of everyone to the homeowner, so he could call the cops for lying on the Airbnb. So, we just laid low. We were quiet,

18:00

didn't play loud music inside or outside the house, and kept the place clean. But, she still was getting worried that they would find a reason to kick us out. Turns out, we should have been way more worried about a ghost than any police paying us a visit. So, we ignore the creepy neighbor. I calm my sister down, and we go down to the bottom floor. And she had decorated the kitchen and living room with tons of streamers and adorable helium balloons. Streamers were hanging from every doorway and around the kitchen table and bar. We got into matching outfits, took a ton of photos for Instagram, and got the rom-com started. About an hour or two into the party, one of my bridesmaids noticed that one of the balloons, the engagement ring-shaped one, was sinking towards the floor. We chalked it up to helium slowly seeping out of it. We ignored it until another bridesmaid went to grab more snacks from the kitchen. There, she saw the engagement ring balloon had slid under the kitchen table. Now, this was a bar height table surrounded by bar stools. There was no room for the balloon to float underneath it without being turned perfectly.

Yeah, they're weirdly shaped.

19:00

Yeah. Cuz there's a hole in the middle.

Mhm.

Huh.

My bridesmaid pointed out to the rest of us, and we all tried to figure out if there was a vent nearby that could have magically pushed it under of table, but we couldn't find anything to make sense. We got a little weirded out and just laughed it off. And as we tried to lighten the mood, all seven of us watched the balloon turn 180° under the table, slide horizontally between the chair legs, and rise back up. It went from floating about 3 in above the floor to now floating 5 ft off the ground in the middle of the kitchen. We all stared in disbelief. The balloon just hovered in the kitchen. We were all too shocked to be scared. We paused our movie and just stared at the balloon. Then 30 seconds later, it started moving horizontally towards the doorway that led to the staircase. Now, there were streamers hanging in that doorway, and we watched the balloon hit the streamers, stop, then slowly push its way through the streamers to the landing at the bottom of the stairs.

20:00

At this point, one of my bridesmaids goes, "Wouldn't it be so scary if the streamers fell down right now?" And I swear to god, the streamers were yanked from the doorway.

Oh, my god.

single one of us started screaming. And we backed ourselves into the kitchen furthest away from the staircase. We fought over who would go to the doorway to check the streamers to see where the balloon went. And since it was my bachelorette party, I volunteered to do it. What? You should be like, "I'm safe. You all go."

think you're the [laughter] number one person who doesn't have to do it.

Well, I think Steph's one of us. I slowly crept to the doorway. I picked the streamers up from the floor. The tape that was holding them was still stuck to the doorway, and I could see where they had literally been ripped from the force of being pulled down.

Wow.

There's no way the wind could have done that. This was full-on like a force that pulled them down. I turned the corner, I looked up the staircase, and I saw the balloon creeping up the staircase. Still about 5

21:00

ft off the ground, like it's being held.

Mhm.

It made it all the way to the front door at the top of the stairs and stopped. It stayed there hovering right around where the peephole to the door was. And as if it was divine timing, the doorbell rang. We all started screaming again. Luckily, it was one of my bridesmaids who was running late and not a ghost ding-dong-ditching us. I made my friend run downstairs with me to avoid the haunted balloon. We tried to continue the party as if the haunted balloon wasn't still hovering by the front door, but the mood was a little off. We ended the night quietly watching Girls Trip trying not to pee our pants from fear. At the end of the night, we were all too terrified to go to bed. We ran past the haunted balloon to our rooms, got ready for bed with our doors shut, and I ended up having a room to myself and had nightmares all night long.

Oh, no. Oh, shoot. You know what I was going to say like how much do you want to bet that this was just like another girl, like a ghost girl who was just like, "Oh, I want to be a part of this. Like this is so fun. Look at this balloon." Like just there to party, but the nightmares

22:00

And also if you're that scared, I would make everyone sleep in the bed with you. Like I would not sleep alone. No. I could I wouldn't be able to go to sleep by myself.

I don't think I would be able to do that either.

I can't remember the nightmares now, but all I know is that I did not sleep well. As we cleaned up the next morning, this part's what's scary. As we cleaned up the next morning, that engagement ring balloon was stabbed with a knife at least 10 times. Oh, wait. Sorry. I read that wrong. I'm going

[laughter]

I definitely misread this when I first read it. I thought the ghost had stabbed it with a knife and like left it there as like a crime scene. [laughter] The girl stabbed the balloon with a knife to dispose of it. They were scared of the balloon. Yes. As I look back on the party, I'm pretty sure that ghost was maybe looking out for the owner cuz the owner didn't want a bachelorette party on his property and maybe the ghost was trying to scare us away. I'm with you. I think the ghost was just like This is the first time they've seen a bachelorette party. Fun fun time.

23:00

Although it was a bit scary at the time it was happening, I am happy I can say I had a bit of a haunted bachelorette party. Oh, yeah. I also had a few spooky spiritual things happen at my wedding as well, and it makes me happy I had guests from the other side attend the ceremony. Thanks for listening to my story. I hope it could either give you goosebumps or put a smile on your face. We also never heard from the Airbnb owner or the police about our stay, so I guess it was all okay. See you on the other side, Steph. I also feel like a house that's decorated very like Instagrammable and stuff. It's kind of made to host like a bachelorette party.

Right. I don't know why Yeah. The idea was that the Maybe they just came in with a certain energy that felt Right. I I don't know.

Yeah. I don't know. People are People are weird about stuff.

Neighbors are not always friendly.

Yeah.

And also I feel like there's communities where neighbors hate

that houses that are turned into Airbnbs.

[clears throat]

So I feel like it might have nothing to do with you guys at all. It was just like a neighborly dispute.

Right. Totally. But like the fact that the spirit was performing where it was like,

24:00

"Oh, how creepy would it be if all the streamers came down?" It was like, "Yeah!"

Yeah.

That is That's fun. That's like we're having a good time. We're spooking ourselves.

We're just girls on a trip.

I would do that if I were a ghost in the house.

Right? And also like maybe that ghost had always wanted a ring.

[laughter]

And here was like a massive like the biggest freaking rock you could ask for.

Right. Well, and it's also an oddly shaped balloon, and it's not like you come across those balloons very frequently.

Yeah.

Like most of the time uh bachelor parties don't have them.

That's true.

think. That's [laughter] true. I don't know. I've never been to one. But it is it's more of like a

Yeah.

a rare find. It's a rare gem of a balloon.

Yeah.

I'm on I'm on the spirit's side. I think the spirit was just trying to have fun.

Yeah.

Girls just want to have fun. Fun.

I witnessed a UFO

Okay, this is called I witnessed a UFO in Southern Appalachian Mountains.

On a girls' trip?

And I have witnesses.

That is my dream next girls' trip. [laughter]

If I ever have another bachelorette, we're going UFO hunting.

25:00

CE5 event. Oh, [ __ ] yeah. I get to plan this one, not Lexi.

Literally only

[laughter]

Well, no one will No one else will come except for you. Everyone will be like, "Sorry, RSVP unavailable."

I already [laughter] did it. I already spent the money. I'm like, "No, guys, come on. We're going to get abducted in the desert. It's different this time.

[laughter]

A lot of the events are free."

[laughter]

Oh, you just might never come back.

I know a lot of people wouldn't go if it was completely themed that way because

when I was in charge of doing your booking the ghost tour in New Orleans, I had to book a much politer, lighter ghost tour than you and I would have done.

Yes.

Because

People were scared.

getting a lot of comments from people who were quite scared and didn't want to go. And I was like, "We're not going to go It's not going to just be me, you, and like one other person. Like the rest of the house is going to be at home."

at home. Like

No.

I [laughter] have to book it.

troopers. They came.

Yeah. Okay. Hey girls or ghouls, my name is JoJo. I'm 27 and I'm from East

26:00

Tennessee, aka Southern Appalachia.

Hell yeah.

This is a pretty short story, so I'm just going to jump into it. This happened a few years back, so I can't really recall what time of year it was, but I know that it was a regular day, nothing special.

Every day is special.

It is when you're with your best friend.

Mhm.

My best friend and I decided to take a trip to Asheville, North Carolina, which is only about an hour trip from where we live. And this is something we did all the time. We would go for shopping, we would enjoy different types of restaurants. It was just different than what we had in our own town. And I will preface this by saying that I never fully believed in UFOs, let alone aliens. But after seeing what I saw with my own eyes, I cannot rule out other beings being amongst us.

So, even Obama believes in aliens.

He Yeah. Do you believe him when he was saying that

that Area 51 wasn't like

Yeah, that there's no aliens kept here that he's aware of.

Well, he said that there were no aliens being kept at what is it Area 51. That

27:00

doesn't mean they're not being kept somewhere else. And he said he never saw them.

But then he like insinuated that there were there were no like known bases or something keeping aliens.

I believe that whatever part of the government or universe is doing alien studies, the president wouldn't even know about it.

Well, that's what he said.

underground.

Cuz he was they they asked the interviewer asked him like well, what was the like one thing you were hoping to to learn about when you were when you became president. He was like aliens.

[laughter]

Of course. Aren't all of us looking for that?

Wait. [laughter]

What?

Okay, conspiracy.

Love it. We really need like a little basket behind the couch that has like some props.

And the tin foil hats.

And the tin foil hats. We have to do that. That's so easy. That's so easy to do.

Okay, let's do it.

Um but I saw a Tik Tok

[laughter]

where I don't know what the original Tik Tok was cuz it was someone else that like was like stitching over it or like telling the story or saying it.

Yeah, where this woman was at Buckingham

28:00

Palace.

Mhm.

And she was using one of those like thermal cameras or whatever and the heat signatures were coming off of everyone walking around. The heat signatures were coming off of all the guards in the back, but the guards in the very front of the palace had no heat signature. And so the whole conspiracy was that they weren't human.

They're aliens.

They're amphibious aliens.

Is it people

without heat?

Mhm.

Anyhow, sure. Here is the tea. Unknowingly, after our great girls trip and on our way back home over the mountains that evening, we were driving along singing, talking, doing what us girls do. When all of the sudden a gigantic glowing and maybe shining even orb appears out of nowhere in the sky in between the mountain ranges. Both me and my friend are in complete silence. The UFO did a little wiggle motion in the sky and then darted off into seemingly thin air.

I like the wiggle motion. I like to think of them like dancing a little bit in the sky before going away.

29:00

The velocity in which it was traveling was not from this universe. It looked like it was traveling at the speed of light. The light was an otherworldly color as well.

Oh, interesting. Like

Yeah. She said the light coming from it was kind of indescribable. I'll do my best to explain and paint a picture for you. If you think of like a striking blue or like an LED bright almost whitish blue, but extremely bright, like almost blinding. I have actually never seen that color before.

Whoa.

We were both silent for only a few minutes after it disappeared and I know we were both [clears throat] trying to understand what we had just witnessed. We both looked at each other simultaneously and both said, "Did we just see a UFO?" We both agreed that if it were a plane, we would have seen flashing lights as airplanes have or we would have been able to see it traveling into the distance cuz they just don't disappear like that one did. So yeah, basically it had no similarities to a plane. It wasn't a light tower. There were none in that area. We both came to the conclusion that what we had witnessed had to very much be a UFO.

30:00

Yep.

And if you have your best friend see the same thing and describe the same thing as you, well, now you know you aren't crazy. And yeah, maybe that did really just happen and it makes it that much more real. And I still can't believe or understand what we saw or why we saw it. What do you think? What are your opinions? Love the podcast, Jojo.

Um you guys saw a UFO. Totally. Easy. Simple.

Done. UFO. Next case.

[laughter]

Case solved. Um I love that. And also I feel like North Carolina, that makes sense.

Yeah. And it's like mountain ranges, it's at night, you're traveling on a road.

Yeah.

It totally makes sense.

It does.

But how cool.

I feel like this episode has just giving me a list of places that I want to go to to have paranormal encounters.

I can't believe we didn't have any crazy things happen when we were driving like thousands of miles it felt like when we were on tour. We drove all the way from Maine to Virginia. And back.

We had a lot of daytime driving.

31:00

That's true. The only night time drive that we did was after our Brooklyn show we drove to Brian's house. That was like the night time drive. And the the scariest thing that happened was trying to get out of Brooklyn and get onto the highway.

Oh, I missed the turn like 17 times. I we were going in circles.

[laughter]

We were staying in Manhattan.

It was confusing though.

No, we were staying we were staying in New Jersey.

No, I know, but like my car

[laughter]

my car was

I got from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

I couldn't get out of Manhattan.

[laughter]

So, I feel like that was the the thing that happened.

Mhm.

We were more focused about getting to the next location. Okay, wait. I'm excited for this one because it is it's got a creepy ass photo.

Ooh.

Okay.

Gosh, I feel like people have really been sending us more evidence recently and I'm so happy about it.

OneSkin

Take a second. Look at Karen and I's skin. Is it glowing? You could you could actually take a good hard look at my skin cuz I have zero makeup on today.

32:00

So,

Well, from my perspective you are radiant and glowing and you look super youthful.

Thank you.

And let me guess, you're using One Skin.

Yeah, we've been using One Skin for a few years. It's such a great product and what I love is that it's it's real science. So, I feel comfortable recommending One Skin.

Their research led to OS-1 which is One Skin's proprietary peptide. It is the first ingredient proven to switch off those damaged senescent cells which means it actually slows skin aging directly at the source. So, we're giving our skin a clear signal to repair damaged cells, support collagen, and strengthen our skin barrier.

They have a really lovely under eye cream. And just because I've loved using OneSkin, I have actually both gifted it to my mom and I've also gifted it to my aunt.

Born from over a decade of longevity research, OneSkin's OS-1 peptide is proven to target the visible signs of aging, helping you unlock the healthiest skin now and as you age. And for a

33:00

limited time, you can try OneSkin with 15% off using code TGOG at oneskin.co/tgog. That's 15% off oneskin.co with code TGOG. And after you purchase, they will ask you where you heard about them, so please support our show and let them know that we sent you.

the lost phone air bnb

Okay, this is from Michaela. I think that we can use your name. Okay. Caught on film. The lost phone Airbnb. Hey ladies.

Hey.

I've written a few tales a while ago, but this weekend came complete with another experience that as soon as it happened, I happily exclaimed, "I must send it to my ghostly gals." Which admittedly earned some weird looks from my friends, but you know, whatever. Uh names have been changed, so you're free to share away. Also, you will see that people's faces have been blurred out or She like put like scratch marks on their faces so that we can't share their identity. Okay. This is because they requested photos of them not be shared.

34:00

But these photos must be shared. Honestly, it's sort of perfect. The following experience happened this weekend as we were at an Airbnb for my friend's spooky fall-themed wedding. So there are some men here, but there it's like they're staying at an Airbnb for the wedding weekend, but they have bachelor bachelor at parties during the weekend.

Okay, yeah, it's a What What do we call them?

Combo.

When it's like combined? Jack and Jill.

Oh, is that a name for that? I didn't know that.

it's a Jack and Jill.

So when my husband, Brandon, and I, Michaela, pulled up to the Airbnb in Loomis, California. It was stunning. The house has an odd design, but tastefully managed and fairly newly built in 2018. As we began getting settled in, there was nothing strange except that one of our friends, Stacy, could not find her phone. Which, you know, losing phones is just a reality of being alive at this point, so we all wrote it off. But she insisted she could not find it and had no idea where it could be. People called it, half of the people were hunting for it, and literally nothing. Finally, it was found, but it

35:00

took a long time for being in a house that was only sort of occupied. I'm curious where they found it.

Mhm.

We moved on with our night as the bride, Cindy, and groom, Russ, had returned from dinner with their parents. They did the run-through with parent and the officiant, who was Stacy's husband, Josh. And the bachelorette and bachelor parties were about to start, which is where the photos come in. So, Cindy and Russ wanted a Polaroid taken before the parties began. No biggie. Stacy took the following photo of them, and Josh held it while it developed. Even before it was done, he said, "Oh my god, is that a ghost in the hallway?" And he's like, "That's totally a ghost." Cue the Polaroid being passed around and all of us being shocked.

Oh my god. I can't wait to look at it. [laughter]

What's important to know is Josh and Stacy are deeply religious and do not do the spooky. So, out of all of us, they are the least likely to lean into something scary happening. But within the next minute, I had Stacy take a control photo from the same exact position so we could debunk it. Alas, there was no ghost. Here, we can

36:00

look at the photo and then I'll continue with the story. It's hard cuz it's a photo of a Polaroid, but you can tell.

the figure in the doorway?

Yeah.

In the photo

Of the two of them. But then if you look at them side by side, like there's maybe like a doorway, but the ghost is almost blocking that doorway in the original photo.

Yeah. It's a wild cuz the the figure almost looks like one of those like blow-up

It does. It's like very tall.

dolls. Yeah. And like thin and very I don't know like stiff.

But you can see the shape of like the head.

Mhm.

And you're right. Like the legs are almost abnormally long and tall.

So weird.

I love a ghost photo. Okay. Once the main hubbub about the photos died down, we all went on with our night. Before we go to our parties, we had a small combined little kickoff. During this time, a spider nest hatched behind the couch and all of the spiders swarmed up the walls.

Oh my god.

a coincidence?

That is a nightmare trip.

37:00

It horrifying. I'm not convinced it was a coincidence and all of us were on edge having this bad crawling feeling as we continued through the night.

Yeah, I'd be oh. I would want to sleep there.

I would rather see a demon than a spider's nest hatch in the home I'm staying in.

Yeah.

Prior to going to bed, Josh and Stacy prayed over the area where the ghost was seen because they were not here for sleeping with that thing outside their door. Brandon and I were sharing a room with another couple, Mandy Bronx. So we couldn't go to sleep until they were all ready to call it a night. No big deal. We cleaned up. The boys finished an intense game of Halo. And as part of the cleaning we needed to take the trash out. Again, not a big deal. None of us knew where the bin was so we went to go track it down. We were outside about halfway down the driveway when something strange happened. It just felt really heavy and the both of us looked at each other. We both felt it. The lights from the house seemed to not penetrate the darkness on the driveway. It almost felt like it got darker. So I turned on my flashlight and even

38:00

that barely illuminates in the darkness. Mandy, who is self-proclaimed not sensitive, started to tell me how she doesn't feel right. Something is wrong. Like there's something thick and unsettling. To which I agreed. Now the stars were exceptional and usually were the types of people who would take some time to admire them but right then we were like nope and we boogied back inside as fast as we could.

You boogied. [clears throat]

[laughter]

I love that.

The next morning was a flurry as it was wedding day, and in the rush of getting ready, I lost my phone. But I also had this weird experience of having zero memory about where I last had it. It was like my memory was wiped. Brandon and I searched and searched. He called my phone. I tried to ping it from my watch, and literally nothing. Until finally, I found it sitting on the bed as if it had been there the whole time. I brushed it off as maybe I was tired. But then later that day, Mandy's phone goes missing. Same thing. Pinging it, looking for it. Ends up being just like in front of her eyes. Then the wedding photographer's phone goes missing.

39:00

Again, same thing.

that's so many.

And it's also interesting cuz every person who loses their phone has this like gap in memory. Like, I don't remember the last time I used it.

Mhm.

Then bam, there it is in a fairly easy place to find. A few times we joked that it was the ghost. Seemed funny at the time, but now I don't know. The last thing after the wedding is we were all sitting around talking. We started out in the kitchen where Brandon was filling his water bottle. Then we moved to the living room where I distinctly remember watching Brandon set his water bottle down by the front of his chair. A few minutes later I asked him for it cuz I was thirsty, but it wasn't there. We all went up searching for it. No one can find it. Confused, Brandon walked to the kitchen, and there it was sitting in the kitchen across from where we had been, across from where we had all been looking.

What is this spirit looking for? Like, it feels like it's going through everyone's phone.

And then taking which is like almost like disorienting all of them, too.

Yeah.

After we left, we were all absolutely exhausted. And not just because we had a bachelorette party and a wedding and a

40:00

long weekend. No, we were drained in a way that I've never felt before. Once we made it to the airport, I started thinking back on everything, and I can't help but feel that this house was like a hotspot or built on some type of portal. We were so utterly exhausted. And I can speak for myself, but I and Brandon were completely sober the entire time, didn't have a single drink. I would love to know your thoughts.

the ghost wanted him to have a drink and that's why he was stealing his water bottle.

Yeah, it's like stop hydrating, get drunk, so I can be more of a pest.

all of your phones. I'm going to take drunken photos of all of you and blackmail you. Yeah, that's from Michaela. That is a lot of activity that with a lot of witnesses and a lot of targets.

And it's just disorienting. Like what is the purpose?

weird.

Yeah.

But I don't totally have an answer about the photo.

I do love a ghost photo bombing.

I know.

What also just makes me think that like this entity is like always watching them, wherever they are in the house.

Always watching.

You know, but it's like just lurking,

41:00

waiting for an opportunity to do something. But it is just like a pest.

It's like a nuisance. Removing things that are

right in front of your eyes.

Right.

It does kind of remind me of my childhood home, cuz there would be

Yeah.

You know, you'd know that you put something down on the counter or on the desk or something.

Yeah.

And then you'd search for like an hour and you wouldn't find it and then you had to just be like, okay, I just need to give it a beat. I'll go back to exactly where I have looked four times and I know where I put it. And if And if you wait long enough, it'll just be exactly where it was before.

Which makes me wonder about because even in Michaela's email, like every time they would like when you do the find my iPhone ping, it's loud.

Mhm.

It You could have left it in the basement and you're on the like second floor.

and then you'll find it and you can hear it. Mhm.

[clears throat]

But every single time no one could hear the sound. So it almost makes me feel like it's going to another dimension, really.

in that same plane.

Yeah.

This is reminding me of Halloweentown where like they go to the guy's house who has all of lost

42:00

The lost socks.

items. Yeah. Yeah.

[laughter]

Yeah.

Like it's just dropping through like a dimension or the ghost is taking it to his lair.

birthday haunting (with evidence)

Okay, I have I have some photo evidence and video evidence as well.

Love it.

This is called 31st birthday haunting. Hey girls, love listening to your pod while I'm driving and doing chores. I've been a fan of paranormal things since I was a kid, but never experienced anything personally, that is until my 31st birthday. I live in New Brunswick, Canada and for my birthday my sister, my mom and I decided to do a little trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia to go to a Nordic spa and do some shopping, etc. The first night we were there we went out for dinner and decided we wanted to go get a cocktail at a cocktail bar.

Oh, fun.

Yeah.

Fancy.

The first one we walked to was closed for renovations, so I quickly just Googled another one and we took an Uber over. When we got there I was like, "Okay, this is a cocktail bar?" It was super historic in a home called

43:00

the Henry House.

Mhm.

The main floor was turned into a pub and the upstairs was a bar.

I love that. Wait, now I want to look up the Henry House.

As soon as we walked in I jokingly said, "Okay, this place is haunted for sure." So we sit down, the vibes are cozy, the fireplace is warm, there's very old furniture. It felt like we were back in the 1800s. Our waitress comes over and takes our orders and gives us a little history about the house. It was built in 1835, housed many government officials at that time, etc. etc. So I'm sitting there looking at this very old portrait of what I assumed to be a man who lived there at some point and I decided to take a Snapchat to send to a few friends of the place.

Why do I feel like Snapchat catches so many ghosts?

I know. Cuz it's like maybe the ghosts are like, "Oh, it disappears."

Yeah.

[laughter]

Little do they know.

And I turned the camera to my face very animatedly reacting to the kind of creepy photo I was filming. When I look back at that video before I clicked send, I noticed a freaking face

44:00

right beside mine. Now, I have tried to debunk this with my sister and my mom, but the face doesn't look like mine. I don't have any explanation. I showed our waitress and she actually freaked out and got me to send it to her so that she could show all of the other staff. We would love that. She said this place has a ton of paranormal activity and many employees have their own spooky experiences. I didn't feel like this was a bad entity, maybe just someone popping in saying happy birthday. I don't know. Either way, it was a birthday that I will always remember.

Wow.

Okay, so we'll watch the video first.

look how it's like how unassuming that building is.

Oh, yeah. It's very It's very cool, but yeah, I would also get out of the Uber and be like, are we in the right place? This does not look like an establishment. Okay, we'll do the video and then I'll show you the photo. Oh my gosh. Okay, and then she takes the Yeah,

45:00

screen grabs the Oh my gosh. Cuz at first I was like, oh, was it some weird reflection of like her own face, but then no, nostril placement's different. Like the whole face is tilted.

the expression is different.

Oh my god, it's Oh my god.

It's really creepy. Ooh, the hairline looks diff Now I'm getting chills.

Wait, how do you see it again? Go back to it. It looks like a woman.

At first I totally thought it was a woman, too.

Oh my gosh.

close the nostrils are together.

Yeah. That's so clear.

and it's like right on top of her.

Wow.

Okay, wait, hold on. Let's watch the video again. Let's look at what the picture, like the portrait looked like.

The one that she hands to.

Okay, that guy had a mustache. Not him.

Wait, now I want to know cuz I like who is that?

I don't know. Someone who feels like they can just about smooch her.

46:00

Oh, this is from Shontel.

That is amazing.

And also so unsettling because especially it's one thing if you saw that later, but seeing it exactly in that moment

Oh, before she even clicked send. Like she she just took it a second ago.

having to sit there and finish your drink.

Oh my god, this thing is right on me right now.

[laughter] [screaming]

That is wild. Oh my gosh.

Amazing. This is why you need to go on more road trips because the ghosts love it. Like it really does remind me of when Meredith and I were at the Read House Hotel in Chattanooga. Episode 359 if you're curious.

You're so good at remembering. You always remember the actual number of episodes. You'll be like, "Oh, that was Encounters 159." I'm like, "What?

[laughter]

How do you know?"

I mostly only remember for recent episodes. Like if I've uploaded them or if I've done something recently with them. I don't remember things as we're doing them. We just read this and I went at like as we were talking to put the video in a

47:00

folder for our editor and I couldn't remember what the

What the number was?

What the number that we're recording is.

Cuz we're also recording so many different episodes all at once.

Yeah.

I don't know. One of my one of my things.

Your special skill.

One of my special skills.

[laughter]

Anyway, but yes, it reminds me of that that night where we really truly had a girls night with the spirit and Alyssa of the Read House Hotel. And I feel like I feel like ghosts ghosts just want girls nights.

They want to be included. They don't want the pressure. It's just about having fun.

Just hanging out.

Just seeing where the night goes. It's not like a perform for me unless we decide to learn a choreographed dance together to perform.

Or to which I I want to do more of that. I haven't done a choreographed dance with friends since the WAP music video.

Oh [laughter] my god.

Should we do a choreographed dance?

Yeah.

Okay.

I don't know how fit and flexible [laughter] I am at the current moment. I can't and we don't much space

in our studio.

bend over without getting a crazy

48:00

reflux, but

[laughter]

we'll see. So long as it's I could do um, river dancing? Maybe?

Okay, we can we can do that.

Cuz then you're upright the whole time.

Yeah, we don't have we don't have to bend and snap. Okay, we can stay upright. Being a girl is so magical. Like I really the other night I told you I went to La Fabrica with Madison and like all of her old girlfriends. And I so I knew Madison, but I had never met any of like her other friends. So I was going into a situation where I knew one person, but it was a bunch of girls. It was like eight girls total. And I was just like even though going out and drinking doesn't like fill my cup energy-wise, being around a bunch of girls who were just so supportive of one another and like also just sharing my lore, cuz like like when I you know, dropping like that I was that I'm divorced, people are like, "What?"

Cuz you're still so young.

Yeah, but it it was just like very I don't know, there's just something so cup-filling about just being a bunch around a bunch of girls.

Yeah.

Who just it was all love and support and

49:00

kindness.

Girls girls.

Girls girls.
