Haunted Houses, Doppelgängers & A Spooky Cemetery With Cosmic Peach! Ep.80

[00:00:02] Hallo zusammen, ich bin Janne, Host vom Podcast Unter uns gesagt und dort spreche ich jeden Dienstag mit prominenten Menschen wie Emilio Sakraja, Betty Taube, Valentina und Sheen Pade und vielen mehr über Themen, die uns wirklich beschäftigen. Und das mache ich auf eine besondere Art. Alle meine Gäste bringen ein Foto ihres Kühlschrankinhaltes mit und von dort wird es persönlich. Es wird gelacht, es wird geweint, es wird aber ganz sicher immer sehr echt.

[00:00:25] Wenn ihr also wissen möchtet, was bei euren Lieblingsstars so im Kühlschrank abgeht und ihre ganz persönliche Seite kennenlernen möchtet, dann kommt doch mal rüber zu Unter uns gesagt, ich freu mich auf euch.

[00:01:05] Wir alle wissen, was das Intro means. Wir alle wissen, dass wir uns hier nicht. Wir alle wissen. So, das obviously means that I have a special guest with me tonight. So, I've got Julia tonight from Cosmic Peach Podcast. Julia, welcome to The Shed. Thanks for having me. I've been looking forward to this one. I have something prepared that I actually haven't talked about in, I think, like, two years. So, this should be good.

[00:01:31] Intrigued? Intrigued already? You already know this, so we start these episodes off now with our guests by asking them to leave something in the shed with us. So, what have you got for us? What are you going to leave in here with us? Leave in the shed? Besides my epic story? Yeah. Well, I, uh, let's see. It could be literally anything. It could be a hat that you've got on. It could be anything.

[00:01:59] I have a piece of a redwood tree that I stole, I guess, from a national park when I went to visit the redwood forest last Christmas. So, there we go. Yeah, we'll take that. Have you ever seen a redwood tree? Have I ever seen one? No. Dude, they're, like, hundreds of feet across. Yeah. I want to see one eventually.

[00:02:29] Oh, my God. It was epic. And I took a little piece of bark off one and I stuck it in my purse and I brought it home. I probably could go to jail for doing that because it's a national forest. Possibly. But whatever. I'm leaving it in the shed. Oh, yeah. So, we get the blame now then. So, that's me. Yep. Yep. You guys can go to jail. You guys can go to jail for taking it. Yep. That's fine. That's fine. We'll take it.

[00:02:58] First question I want to ask you then because the last time me and Billy recorded, I don't know if the episode's out yet. I can't remember which one it was. But I'd mentioned that I'd been on your podcast and I mentioned the name of your podcast. And Billy got very excited by it. He seemed to really like it. So, where does the name come from? Yeah. A lot of people ask me that and it's tragically not as epic as you would think.

[00:03:23] I used to do hair and my Instagram page was called cosmetic.peach. And so, after I stopped doing hair, I wanted to keep my same Instagram page. But I just like renamed it and all the other usernames were taken besides cosmic.peach. So, I just started using that username and I went on a couple other people's podcasts before I started my own.

[00:03:52] And they just started calling me that because that was my Instagram name. And they'd be like, oh, we have the Cosmic Peach on. And I was like, well, I've already been on a couple of shows and that's what they know me by. So, I guess that's what I'll just call my podcast. So, everyone can thank Instagram and all of the other cool usernames being taken for the name of my podcast. I don't know.

[00:04:20] I suppose it's kind of a good story in a way. I mean, it was literally an accident and everybody is always trying to find like deeper meaning behind it. And I was like, I promise it's not sexual. Everybody tries to make it sexual. I'm like, literally, no. How? I don't know. Am I missing something there? They always use the peach emoji when they're talking about like ass or like something like that.

[00:04:51] Ah, yes, boys. Right. And so, I think they thought that I was trying to say I had like stars coming out of my ass or something like that. I don't know. Cosmic Peach. But, no. It was just a happy accident and here we are. Fair enough. Right then. And so, epic stories. Mm-hmm. I actually, it's funny you asked about the name of my show because before I ever started my own podcast,

[00:05:21] I had went on a friend of mine's show. It's called My Third Eye Podcast. And I told this story about growing up in a haunted house. And it was the first time I had ever been on a podcast. And I was super nervous. So, I had all my notes. And I had like a little presentation. So, I didn't forget anything. And then a couple of people heard my haunted house story.

[00:05:48] And they invited me on their podcast to talk about it. And I had it memorized at one point because I had just said the same things over and over again so much. But, kind of like with anything, after you cover a topic so many times, it just gets kind of old. And people stop asking you about it. So, this is the first time I've actually retold my haunted house story in like two or three years, I want to say.

[00:06:15] And I might actually have to backtrack as I remember things. But, the beginning of this story goes way back in time, actually, to my great-grandpa. And I'm not sure how familiar with the states, you know, you guys are over there. But I'll just break it down easy.

[00:06:40] My family is from Kentucky, the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky. And there is a lot of folklore about the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky. And my great-grandpa was something of like a witch doctor, I guess you would call him. They lived in a place where they didn't have any electricity or running water.

[00:07:08] And they had like dirt floors in their house. And it was just like real, real basic. And if somebody got sick, like, and they didn't know what was wrong with them, they would take that person to my great-grandpa. And he had some type of like incantation or something he would say. Or he'd like lay hands on them. And then suddenly they'd be healed. Or within a couple days they would be healed.

[00:07:36] And so this is a story that got passed down in my family. Because before my great-grandpa died, he passed this secret on to my aunt. And before she passed away, she was supposed to pass the secret down to like me or one of my cousins. And keep this like little family tradition thing in the family and keep it alive. But unfortunately she wasn't able to tell anybody what the secret was.

[00:08:04] But there's always been like this kind of strange, I don't even know what to call it, if it's paranormal or supernatural or just being more in touch with the other side. But my great-grandpa having like this weird ability to heal people. And then my grandma would see ghosts and stuff like that. But she was always kind of scared to talk about it.

[00:08:32] Because we were a super Christian household. And a lot of times when you grow up in a super Christian household, it's like not very cool to talk about seeing demons and ghosts and stuff like that. So she always could see them, but she didn't really ever talk about it. And then fast forward, my family moves from Kentucky to Cleveland, Ohio.

[00:09:00] And that's kind of where I come into the story. Because they built a church, my grandma and my grandpa. And then they built a small house next to the church. And they were literally beside each other. And my grandpa started getting sick. He had Alzheimer's. So me and my mom and my dad moved in with my grandma to kind of help take care of her. And help her keep things going like with the church and everything.

[00:09:28] So that's kind of where I come into the story. With the house being so close to the church and us having a big family, we had like an open door policy at my grandparents' house where we'd come over. And we never really knew who was going to be there. Like people from the church or people who needed help. Or people who were just like wanting prayer or needed somewhere to stay.

[00:09:57] So they would just come to my grandparents' house. And anytime I was there, I'd come home after school and there'd be family members. There'd be church people there. There'd always be somebody in the house. So it wasn't unusual to just be sitting in the living room watching TV. And like see people passing by in the kitchen and in the hallway. Because the house was always full of people.

[00:10:22] But it's just strange because I started seeing things and I was scared to tell anybody about it. And then I guess separately, my cousin Brooke and my cousin Brittany were seeing things. And they didn't want to tell anybody about it. And my sister was seeing things and she didn't want to tell anybody about it. And it was all in this one house.

[00:10:46] And it wasn't until we were all much, much older when we started talking about whether or not our family could be cursed. Or if something followed our family. Or if it's just kind of like in our genes and our blood that we're more sensitive to have things happen to us.

[00:11:08] Because it seemed to be all of us had different experiences throughout our lives that none of us really were cool with talking about. And I remember when I first moved in there. There was just like a feeling in this long hallway that had a main bathroom. And there was all the bedrooms were down this hallway.

[00:11:38] So it was super long. And there was like the main bathroom. And then right across the hall was a bedroom. And then you'd keep going down the hall. And it would be my grandparents' room. And then another room. And then like a big walk-in closet. And there was just an unspoken thing in our family. Like let's say we were all getting together for like Thanksgiving or something. And if I walked up to one of my cousins and I was like I have to pee. They knew exactly what that meant.

[00:12:07] Because it was kind of like using the buddy system. Nobody wanted to go down that fucking hallway by themselves. It was scary. It had a feeling. There was just a vibe. There was a darkness beyond dark in that hallway. And I never liked to go to that bathroom by myself. It was just I mean I don't know if you've ever felt this before. But it was almost like nothing visual. But the second you started down the hallway you could just feel that something wasn't right.

[00:12:37] Yeah. Just like a bad vibe. Yeah. And it all freaked us out because the house was built literally right next to the church. And my family was so religious. And it didn't make sense for something so evil or negative to be in the house. Because my grandparents were the kind of people that had like Jesus pictures on every wall in the house. And like Jesus holding a lamb.

[00:13:06] And like Jesus at the Last Supper. And all this like you know religious crap all over the house. And so whatever was in there it was like it was immune to religious icons. Which is even more scary in my opinion. Yeah yeah definitely. And so we all used kind of the buddy system when we had to go to the bathroom.

[00:13:35] And there was a basement under the house that ran the entire length of the house. So if you were in the dining room there was a door you could open. And there was a long ass fucking scary ass fucking conjuring ass staircase. That you could go down. But there was this is I don't know who came up with the setup.

[00:14:03] But there was a light you could turn on at the top of the stairs. But you had to go all the way down to the very bottom step to turn the basement light on. So you had about 50% of the staircase completely shrouded in blackness. And the entire basement was black. And you had to get down to that last step before you could flip the light on for the basement. So the first like five steps. Right yeah. The first like five steps you're like oh I'm okay.

[00:14:32] You know I'm still in the light. Eight everything's cool. And then you get to that sixth step and you're in complete dark blackness. And you have to go another like 12 steps down till you get to the light switch. It's it was like an eternity to get to the bottom of the stairs. But you know me and my cousins all had this death wish. So we would decide to all go down together. And we would play hide and go seek in the dark and stuff like that.

[00:15:00] To like traumatize ourselves for life. And this one time we were all down there. And we were playing hide and go seek in the dark. We were hiding in fucking boxes and shit and just being kids. And there was not really any windows in the basement. So there wasn't any like light coming through. And when I say it was darker than dark down there. It was pitch black.

[00:15:27] And we all saw like these orbs moving around. And they were huge. You know like when you see them in ghost adventures. And it looks like the size of a marble or something floating. Yeah. And you're like oh yeah so scary. It looks like a fucking. It could be a reflection. A bug. A piece of dust. Like who knows. There was no mistake in this. It had its own illumination. And they were like the size of a. I don't know. They were big like not as big as a basketball or anything.

[00:15:57] Maybe a little smaller. But they were floating around on their own in the basement. And no one had died in that house. No one had ever lived in the house before us. Because my grandpa built it with his own hands. So why there was so much activity. I have no idea. Unless they built the house on like some kind of sacred native burial ground or something. Who knows.

[00:16:26] That's exactly what I was just going to say. Well it does make sense if that's the case. Because it was nothing but a field with big huge trees. And they like plowed the whole thing down and built the church in the house. So who knows. Yeah. But we all saw them. And I know because later on I would. When we all get together as adults even. We talk about. Do you remember seeing those things floating around in the basement? We were all scared.

[00:16:56] And we all ran up the stairs running on top of each other. And kicking each other in the face to try to get up the stairs. And turning the light on and stuff. And it you know. It's just something that started off as kind of like really scary. But still kind of. Well it's in the basement. And we don't ever have to go back down there. And it wasn't like we saw a demon or anything. So we all kind of just. Moved on with our life.

[00:17:23] But it kind of slowly started getting worse and worse. The longer that I stayed there. And. One time. I was. Sitting in the living room. And there was. Between the living room. And the dining room slash kitchen. There was like this half wall. And. And on the top. It had like these spindles. So you could see into the kitchen.

[00:17:52] In the dining room. From the living room. But it was like a half wall kind of thing. And I see. My. Cousin. Brooke walk by. And again. It wouldn't be strange for her to just randomly be at. Our grandma's house. Because that's the kind of family we had. Um. And so. I called to her. And I was like. Hey Brooke. Can you bring me like something from the kitchen? I don't know. Zebra cake. Whatever. I was like.

[00:18:22] Hey Brooke. Will you bring me a. Whatever from the kitchen? And I didn't hear anything back. And so. I kind of like sat up in my. Chair. And I peeked through. The. Spindles. And I could see her standing there in the kitchen. And she turned around and looked at me. For. Not an awfully long time. But long enough for me to. Be like. What's your problem bitch? Uh. Bring me a zebra cake. But she had this kind of like.

[00:18:52] Dead look on her face. Like I could. It would. In all other ways. Was my cousin broke. Don't get. Mistaken. I mean it looked exactly. You would never be able to tell anything different. But her eyes just seemed to be. A little bit different. And so. I. I was like. Whatever. She's. Being a bitch today. And I just sat back down. And kept watching my show. And then my mom or somebody came in. And I was like. Well Brooke's in the kitchen. Being a dick.

[00:19:22] And. And. They were like. No Brooke's not here. And I was like. I just saw her five seconds ago. I asked her to get me a zebra cake. She's standing in the kitchen. And they were like. No Brooke's not here. And then I think we ended up like calling her. Or something like that. And she had been at home. The entire time. And. It wasn't just me. That saw. Specifically my cousin Brooke. Walking around in the house. Um. Her sister would see her. Up and about.

[00:19:52] Um. And it was always. When you were kind of caught off guard. You know. Because. I remember her sister saying. And she was in the living room. And she was on the phone. Talking to her friend. And. Her friend was asking her to babysit. And she was just. In the middle of a conversation. On the phone. And she looked up. And. She saw Brooke standing there. And she. Tried to talk to her. Say something to her. And she. Just looked at her. And turned around. And walked away. Back down the hallway. The scary hallway.

[00:20:21] With the scary bathroom. And. Um. She got up to look for her. After that. And. She was. Either not home. At all. Or. She would be in her bedroom. Fully asleep. Like. Passed out. No way she was walking around. Two seconds ago. Like. Completely asleep. So. The scariest. Time. Someone saw her. Specifically. Was. Um. My. Sister. Before you tell us.

[00:20:51] The scariest one. Can I ask a question? Oh yeah. Sure. What the fuck is a zebra cake? You never had little Debbie. Zebra cake? No. Oh my god. Do you have little Debbie's at all? No. Mmm. Well. They're pre-packaged cakes. That you can get in a box. And they're like little. Cake. It's white cake with. Chocolate. Icing on it.

[00:21:20] And that's why they call it a zebra cake. Fair enough. It's got. It's got like 7,000 calories. And um. It's loaded with high fucktose corn syrup. And all types of poisons. And you can buy them in a 12 pack. They're little Debbie's. I can't. You guys really don't have little Debbie's. That's crazy. No. No. Oh my god. Well that's probably why Americans are fucking dead and dying and unhealthy.

[00:21:49] All the little Debbie cakes. But. Yeah. You just pop one in your mouth and you just go about your day. And you don't have to. And then I'm a high talk about 10 minutes later. Right. Yeah. Yeah. My grandma used to keep a stash of them. She had like little oatmeal cakes and zebra cakes. And she. Oh god. She had a secret stash drawer full of cakes. But. Anyways. Yeah. I'll send you a picture of one.

[00:22:16] I wish there was a way I could send you a zebra cake. I mean don't eat it all at one time because you will have a heart attack. But like just eat it slowly over a couple of weeks. And you. You can enjoy it that way. I'll try. I'll try and find some from somewhere. Um. So when this was happening. When you were seeing your cousin and everything. Just wandering around the house. Like fucking. God knows what. How old were you at this time? I was in high school. I was actually a freshman in high school.

[00:22:46] And so I was definitely old enough to know. Like when we would see. Yes. We used to work. It couldn't. It couldn't have just been like your imagination. It wasn't like you were like six or seven or something. So. No. When we saw the. Right. And my. My cousin. Brittany. Brooke's sister. She was even older than I was. She was like 18. When she saw it. And so. When we were in the basement. And we would see stuff floating around in the basement. We were a little younger. Maybe like.

[00:23:16] Middle school. Aged. But. By the time it started really kicking up. And we would see like people walking around. We were all older. Like. Damn near adults. When this stuff was happening. And. The. The one that I was about to tell you is the worst one. Because. Actually. My grandpa had to go. Be put in a nursing home. So it was just. Us. And my grandma. In the house. And my sister came to visit. And she was like. I don't know. In her 20s.

[00:23:45] And she was like. Well. You know. There's not a lot of room. So I'll just sleep. In. Um. Our grandma's room with her. And so. She was. My. Old school grandma type behavior. She couldn't sleep with any lights on. It had to be completely pitch black in there. And. Okay. You know. Oh god. Like nobody. I can't believe she volunteered to sleep in. My grandma's room with her. Because I was like. Fuck that. I sleep with night lights.

[00:24:15] I sleep with TVs on. I sleep with noise machines. I have the whole setup. There's no way. I'm sleeping in a. Friggin. Light deprivation chamber. There's no way. But. Anyways. That's how she slept. And. She said. Because. I was in the room. Right across the hall. And I had a night light on. In my room. And I kept the door cracked. So there was a little light. That was peeping out. Into the hallway. And if I can set up like a visual. So people can understand.

[00:24:46] There was a room. On the right side. And a room. Directly across on. On the left side. And then the hallway. Ran in the middle. And so. The. Portion. Of the hallway. That my sister could see. Is the same. Portion of the hallway. That I could see. And there was a little light. Coming from my room. Illuminating the hallway. And. She said. That my grandma. Was fast asleep. But she was having a hard time. Going to sleep. Wonder why. And freaking. Pitch black. With no TV on.

[00:25:15] But she said. The door. To my grandma's bedroom. Kind of like. Slowly over the course. Of maybe five to ten minutes. Just kept opening. A little bit wider. And she thought. Maybe it was a draft. Or something. That kept swinging the door. A little bit further open. And. She said. She laid there. For a long time. Just could. Just not being able. To go to sleep. And she thought. That the door was weird. But. Wasn't too spooked.

[00:25:45] About it at first. But then. She saw. Who she thought. Was my cousin Brooke. In the hallway. Walking. Towards. The bedroom. And. I guess. She stopped. Right at. The threshold. Of the door. And turned. And was looking in. At my sister. And my grandma. And. She just had like. These black. Dead looking eyes. The same.

[00:26:15] Same thing I said too. Because in all other ways. It looked like her. But there was just something. Weird about the eyes. And. My sister called out to her. In. In a whisper. Because she thought it was literally her. And she was like. You know. Hey. What are you doing? Like. Here. And hey. Why. Do you need something? Like. Why are you standing? Like a creepy fucking. Demon ghost. In the hallway. She didn't say that. But she was like. You okay?

[00:26:45] And. Nothing. Right? No. She didn't say anything. And. Before I finish this. I have to give you some background. On my sister. She's the type of person. If she went to the store. And she paid cash. For something. And. The. Cashier. Gave her back. Two cents. Two cents. She would go back to the store. And give them back the two cents. Because she's just. She cannot tell. A lie. Or cheat someone.

[00:27:15] Or like. Yeah. She just. She's just a very just. And honest person. And so. When I tell you. She told me this. And she was horrified. Of what everyone was going to think of her. I 100% believe her. She said that. She called out to Brooke. And she was like. Are you okay? Whatever. She didn't hear anything back from her. And. She said. That Brooke. Just like in the fucking exorcist. Did one of those.

[00:27:45] Bend over backwards. On her full. Hands. Like. Not bending over towards the front. Like her spine. Literally. Arched backwards. And she hung her head upside down. And turned and looked at my sister. For like. 60 seconds. Like that. And then she. Yes. I've literally. See this. I've just got goosebumps. And it's not even just because it's cold.

[00:28:14] Because it's not as cold in here as it was before. When I last spoke to you. But no. That's horrible. I don't like that. Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't see it. Right. Or I would have had a heart attack. Thank God. It happened to my sister. Right. Because. Apparently she was. Equipped for the task of. Seeing this. Because I wouldn't have been. I would have. I would have lost it. But so. Yeah. She. She said she was like. Completely paralyzed. Like she couldn't move. At all. She was. Petrified. And.

[00:28:44] So apparently. After. My cousin bent over. She started. Kind of like crawling back down the hallway. And she disappeared. Out of view. And my. Sister just laid there. For a long time. Like she couldn't move. She couldn't talk. She couldn't do anything. And she. Just. Waited. Because she thought it was going to come back. And I said. What did you do? And she said. I felt like I had to protect.

[00:29:14] Mama. Because. She was fast asleep. And I was awake. And there was this thing in the house. And I just laid there and prayed. And she said. She laid there. With her eyes open. And prayed. All night. Until she started to see the light. Coming through the window. And it was like six. Six or seven in the morning. And she hadn't slept. At all. Yeah. And she said. By the time. She saw. The light coming in through the window. She felt a little bit safer. And that she finally went to sleep. For a couple hours.

[00:29:44] But. She woke up in the morning. And never told anybody about it. For years. Never told anyone. For years. That she saw that. And. That sucks. Because if she would have. There was multiple other of us. Yeah. Who had saw the same. Similar things. And it's specifically. My one cousin. But it was years. Before we found out. That she had even. Experienced that. Yeah. That's. That's.

[00:30:14] That's one of the most. Horrible things. Anyone's ever told us. Told me since I've been doing this. That is. That's disgusting. That's the only way. That's the only way I can put it. But it also. I know. It also shows. That when you hear. A story like that from someone. And obviously straight away. You resembled it to the exorcist. Because. It's basically a. Full replica of it. How different it is. When you hear it. As a true story to a film. Because to me.

[00:30:44] That's one of the funniest parts. In the exorcist. I know. Right. They cut it out. When they play it on TV too. Yeah. Yeah. But to me. I think. I think. I think. They ruined it on the exorcist. Because the end bit of that ruins it. Where she does the whole. At the end. That makes it funnier. That makes it funnier. And. In a weird. In a weird way. I'm going to say. That I'd like to experience that.

[00:31:13] Then what your sister experienced. But. But then experience it again. And have. Happen. Because I think then it might be funny. Right. Yeah. She was definitely not laughing at all. But. From what she has told me. It was. And every time I ever saw it. Or anytime my cousin. My. Cousin Brittany ever saw it. It was completely silent. No words. No scary noises. No. Not like the. Like. Not like a horror movie.

[00:31:43] Where they. They come after you. And they. It was. It's scarier. Because it never spoke. And it never made any sound. That makes it scarier. Yeah. And it would just stare at you. And it would just look like. Look into your soul. Almost. With these like. Little black. Beady eyes. And. Then you have to reconcile with yourself. Like. What the hell did I just see? If it wasn't her. Then. What was I. Who. What. Was that.

[00:32:13] And. The. The worst. So the longer I stayed there. My grandma started slowly getting. Worse. And they said that she had dementia. But they really couldn't like. Be for sure about it. Because not all of her symptoms. Made sense. And. It didn't seem to us. Like she had dementia. But that's what the doctors kept saying. And. The only reason they was. They would say this. Is because she was having what they called. Hallucinations. Which. Looking back on it now.

[00:32:43] I don't actually think she was having hallucinations. But the things that she was describing. That she would see at night. Were horrifying. And the only way they could explain it. In the medical field. Is that she had early on stage dementia. Because she would tell the doctor. In front of me and my mom. That every night. Her door would open. To her bedroom. And that she would have a visitor.

[00:33:11] Is what she called them. And she said. That they looked like. Family members. She said. I would come into her room at night. That my grandpa would come into her room at night. And they would sit on her bed. And they'd whisper things to her. And they would stay in her room. All night with her. And. And. She said. When everybody would leave the house. That they would come into the living room. And sit with her. And just stare at her. And she would say. I always have these visitors.

[00:33:42] And the doctors were like. Well she's hallucinating. You know. Obviously. She's got dementia. But. Looking back on it. I feel so sorry for my grandma. Because. I don't know if she was having hallucinations. I think. None of us had the balls to say. We were seeing that shit too. And that her experiences. Were actually really really real. Yeah. This might be a hard question to answer then. So. Because.

[00:34:12] Because you said. You didn't speak about it. Obviously until years after. So you'll probably only be able to answer. On behalf of yourself. But. When you're seeing. Your cousin. Obviously around the house. Like some sort of weird demon thing. So when you. When you saw her. And you knew it was her. Did you. Like subconsciously. Act any differently with her. Do you know what I mean? I. I did. Only when it was. Her alone. In a room.

[00:34:42] Right. If it was all of us. And we were all talking. And being normal. It was cool. But like if I. If she came over after school. Or something. And she was legit. In the kitchen. Like making ramen noodles. On the stove. I'd be like. Brooke. Yeah. And just wait for her to say. As soon as she would say something. I'd know. I'd know it was her. Because. This thing never. Spoke. Ever. It never. Said. Anything. So you know.

[00:35:12] It wasn't like I acted weird. But I would just like. Make sure. It was talking. And so I would know. Be a bit cautious. Right. But. Yeah. Um. My. Uh. I would have dreams. When I lived in that house. Where I would wake up. In the middle of the night. And I felt like there was something. Like hovering right above my face. And it would be like. A split second. And then I blink. And it would be gone. But I would wake up. Out of a horrible nightmare.

[00:35:42] And I would just feel like. There was something right above me. And then I would just like. Blink to adjust my eyes. To the darkness. And it would be gone. Um. And. I would have dreams. Where I was walking down. That scary fucking hallway. Towards the bathroom. And I would open the bathroom door. And I would just fall into space. And just be like. Falling through. Nothingness. And blackness. And. It was awful. And my mom had horrible nightmares there. And my dad.

[00:36:12] Actually. While we were living there. He tried to kill himself. Like two times. In the basement. And. Shit. Uh. It was just. It was horrible. There was such a negative feeling. While we were living there. And my poor grandma. They said that she had dementia. And like. Nobody really was talking about. What was going on. And it just got to the point. Where. Me and my mom. And my dad. Moved out. Because. For many reasons. We just didn't want to stay there anymore. And. My.

[00:36:42] Aunt. And my cousins. Moved in. Brooke and Brittany. The ones that. The one that we kept seeing. Moved into the house. With my aunt and uncle. So. We kind of were like. Taking turns. Living with my grandma. And while they were living there. It. Popped off even harder. Because. For whatever reason. It had this attachment to. My cousin already. And then she moved into the house. And it got even crazier.

[00:37:12] Um. And. So. Again. Is she the youngest one by any chance? Just to interrupt you there. Is she the youngest one? Right. Fair enough. Because you see a lot. You see a lot of things. Where it's usually the youngest one. That gets. Something attached to them all. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Well. If you ask my cousin. Because we've obviously talked about it. Since all this has happened. Over the last couple years. But. She always says that it. It attached itself to her.

[00:37:42] Because she was the purest one. Out of all of us. Which could be true. You know. I don't know. She kind of is the purest one. Out of all of us. And. She was. She was actually a really. Quiet. Type of person. You know. Uh. Um. There was two. You know. Both of my cousins.

[00:38:12] Brittany and Brooke. They got separate bedrooms. And. My aunt and uncle. Decide to make their bedroom. Out of the basement. So. Lunatics. I know. I remember thinking. When they said that. They were like. We're going to move our stuff. Into the basement. And make a bedroom. Out of the basement. I was like. Good luck. Fuck that. Fuck us. Because that. That just seemed. Yeah. Terrifying to me. But.

[00:38:42] Um. So. Brittany had her own room. Brooke had her own room. Across the hallway. The one that I used to sleep in. From my grandma's room. And my aunt and uncle. Were in the fucking basement. Dude. And. Apparently. While they were living there. Uh. My uncle would wake up. And have horrible. He had night terrors. Every single night. That he was falling off. Buildings. That he had killed. Like. Uh. Kind of.

[00:39:11] We talked about this. When we teamed up last time. But. You remember in Amityville Horror. How he kept having dreams. That he should murder his whole family. Well. My uncle was legit. Having Amityville Horror. Style. Dreams. Where he. Would. Dream that he. Woke up in the middle of the night. And killed everybody in the house. House. And so. Shit. He was just being. Completely tormented. By whatever was in the basement. But. He.

[00:39:40] They would also hear walking around. All throughout the night. Footsteps. Because the basement ran the length of the house. And they could hear footsteps all night long. And then they'd wake up in the morning. And be like. Girls. You absolutely cannot be walking around all night like that. Like. If you're gonna get up and get a water. Whatever. Go back to bed. And they would say. Nobody was walking. You know. Mama is asleep. Brooke and Brittany are asleep. Nobody's walking. But they would hear footsteps all night long.

[00:40:10] And. My cousin Brittany was so scared at night. And. It was that same hallway bathroom. That I had to use. She was so terrified. In the middle of the night. If she had to go pee. To go. Down that hallway by herself. That she would keep empty cups in her room. And. She would just pee in cups. And. Just flush them down the toilet. In the morning. I mean. Think of how terrified you have to be.

[00:40:40] To pee in cups. Oh no. In your bedroom all night. Yeah. That's how scary that hallway was. And. Yeah. She said one day. She was just in her room. It was in the middle of the day. And she was putting her makeup on. Or whatever. Whatever. And her stereo. Turned on. And then she watched the knob. Crank itself. All the way up. To like the highest volume. And so. It wasn't like the stereo came on. And like. The volume just shot up. She watched the knob.

[00:41:09] Turn itself. All the way up. I mean. You would think. That if. Oh well that's not that scary. Let it happen to you. And see how fucking scary it is. Stuff turning itself on. And knobs cranking up. And shit on their own. No that. That's that's worse than. That's the worst type of thing. Like that to me. Because. Like you say. If it's a stereo. Or even like. Even like a TV now. Where you obviously. You've just got the remote control. Um. You know. Because there could just be like a.

[00:41:40] Something inside of it. Like a mitt. Like a dodgy wire in a summit. But when you're seeing something. Actually get physically turned. Fuck that arm out the door. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And again. It was like. They never told anybody. About this stuff. They all. They kept it all to themselves. And. While Brooke was living there. She got this weird thing. Where she could never wake up. She would go to take a nap. And be asleep for like six hours. And just couldn't wake up. She would sleep. All day long.

[00:42:10] Like she'd get up. Go to school. Come home. Sleep. Until it was time to wake up the next day. Like she. We would find her just passed out. All over the house. It was like she couldn't even keep her eyes open. And I honestly think that it was draining her. Living there. Like it was sucking her life force or something. It's interesting you say that. Because I was going to ask. It's a shame that you. Like. There's probably no way of answering this. But I've been thinking.

[00:42:39] So when people were seeing her. When she wasn't there. When it was this like Damon thing. I'd love to be able to know. How her real self was. If you know what I mean. Yeah. I know. Like was it a case of like when she. Was it when she was like asleep or something. Or did she. Feel any different. If you know what I mean. Like I'd love to be able to know that. But obviously. It's probably impossible to know. But. Well. I mean the only way I could. Yeah. I could ask her you know.

[00:43:09] Does she ever remember. Feeling weird or anything. But. It was so long ago now. And. The. Sightings were so random. Like she could have been. At home eating a bologna sandwich. While we were seeing her over at my garage. Like who knows. But. When she lived there. It was like she could just never wake up. And. She was just constantly in like this sleepy state. And then. One day. My aunt was sitting. In the living room. And she said. That.

[00:43:39] She saw my mom. Come into the living room. And she turned around. To like have a conversation with her. And. My mom like. Or whatever looked like my mom. Got up in her face. And started saying like weird. Like chanting stuff. And just weird gibberish. And my aunt. Freaked out and started praying. And she like. Closed her eyes for a minute. And then when she opened her eyes. It was gone.

[00:44:08] But that's the only time I can ever recall it. It's speaking. And it didn't. It wasn't Brooke. That time. Right. Yeah. It was. It wasn't Brooke that time. It was something. That looked like my mom. Yeah. And I guess it. It got in my aunt's face. And was. Doing all kinds. Saying all kinds of shit. I don't know. But. It was just. It was terrifying. And. They. They stuck it out. They lived there. Until my grandma was so bad.

[00:44:38] They had to put her. In the nursing home. And that house. Got sold. And. There. There was a lot of. Other little things. That happened there. But those are the main things. Like the big things. That happened. And. After. After we sold that house. There's been many times. When. Me and my family. Drive past it. And we want to like. Stop and knock on the door. And ask. If the people who live there now. Have experienced anything.

[00:45:08] Because we're all just so curious to know. If it was just our family. Or if it was the house. Or if we're just cursed. Or if we're all just psychic. Or what the problem is. But over the last couple of years. I've come to think that. It's more. To do with our family. Than it has to do with the house itself. Because. When we started. Openly sharing. Sharing.

[00:45:37] These experiences. With each other. A bunch of other stuff. Came out. About different houses. That they. My family members. Were living in. Where. Equally crazy. Stuff was happening. That again. Nobody bothered. To share with each other. So. Apparently. Before I was ever born. My grandpa. Bought this house. A different house. House.

[00:46:07] And he fixed it up. And he rented it. To my mom. And my brother and sister. Were like toddlers. When she lived in this house. And. She said. That. She would hear. The little pitter patter. Of like. Kids feet. Coming down the hallway. In this house. And she would hear them. Come all the way over. To her side of the bed. And she would fling. The covers open. And she thought. It was like my sister. Or something. Wanting to get in bed with her. And she would like.

[00:46:36] Fling the covers open. And be like. Come on. Get in bed. And then. She wouldn't feel anything. And she'd open her eyes. And there was nothing there. And she would hear. These footsteps. Coming in and out of the. In and out of the hallway. All night long. In this other house. I know. And. She said a bunch of crazy stuff happened. But. Eventually my. Mom moved out of that house. With my brother and sister. And guess who moved in right after that. My grandpa rented the house. To my aunt.

[00:47:06] Who had. My cousin Brooke and Brittany. In that house. And she said. When they were babies. That. That my cousin Brittany. Like two years old. Would just be sitting in the living room floor. And then just like. Start bashing her head into the floor. Like over and over. And like bashing her head. And they had to put a helmet on her. Because she would literally. Just be sitting there. And just start bashing her head into the floor.

[00:47:36] And this is at the. The other house. You know. Way before this stuff happened. At my grandma's house. This was going on. When they were babies. She said that she had like. Suicidal thoughts. My aunt said she had suicidal thoughts. When she was living in that house. And she said. She was cleaning dishes. One night. And she was cleaning the inside of a coffee pot. And she was holding it. And it just shattered. Into a million pieces in the sink. And there was no reason whatsoever.

[00:48:04] For it to have done that. She said. I wasn't even running it under the hot water. I was just putting the soap in it. And it just shattered in a million pieces. And it like cut her arms up. And it cut her hands up. And she said. It was almost like. Whatever was in that house. Like it was making like. Real ass attempts. On our life. And while my uncle was living there. He was trying to open up the screen door.

[00:48:32] And the glass on the screen door. For whatever reason. Just shattered in a million pieces. When he opened up the door one day. And it slit all the way down his arm. From his wrist. To his elbow. And he had to go. To the emergency room. Because he was bleeding out. All over the place. And it was like. There were so many things. That you could say. It was an accident. It was a coincidence. It was just weird stuff. But. This was way.

[00:49:01] Years and years and years. Before we would have. All these crazy experiences. At my grandma's house. And so you almost have to wonder. Was it like something that followed him. From that first house. Because. It seemed like they were both. Having a lot of experiences. And shit. And. My grandpa eventually. Ended up selling that house. But the neighbors. Came to him one day. And they were talking about. The person who lived in the house.

[00:49:31] Before he bought it. And apparently he had. Killed himself in the garage. And he had. Hung himself in there. And that's why the house was for sale. So. My grandpa not even knowing that. Bought this house. And had my mom. Mom and my aunt. Living in there. And so it just makes a ton of sense. Why they were having so. So much crazy activity. Apparently my sister. Saw the. This man.

[00:50:01] And didn't know who he was. Walking around in the house. And. She said he wore a flannel shirt. And like cowboy boots. And that she'd never forget what he looked like. Because it was so clear. And. Was it the same. Guy from that first house. That followed them over to my grandparents house. Years and years later. This same like dark energy. This suicidal. Weird. Evil guy. From the first house.

[00:50:29] That followed them over to my grandparents house. I don't know. But. Individually. I have other family members. Cousins. Who weren't even living close to those houses. Who also were having paranormal experiences. And it just seems like. It has to be something to do with our family. And less something to do with the house.

[00:50:59] Because how can all of us. In separate locations. All throughout our lifetimes. Have so many crazy paranormal experiences. And my sister. It's like a joke. Because every house she moves into. There's a fucking ghost in there. And she's always calling and telling me. I see it. And it's in this bedroom. And I keep hearing noises in there. And I see it when I'm in the shower. And I watch it walk back and forth. In front of the shower. While I'm in there. Like every house she's ever lived in.

[00:51:28] It's been something like that. And I'm like. Well fucking. You know. I used to think Mama's house was haunted. And now I think it's us. I think we're haunted. And. So. I wouldn't call myself like a psychic or anything. So it's weird. But it just seems like. A lot of us. In my family. Are just more sensitive. To fucking. Weird shit happening to. And believe me. I would rather not. You know. If I had a choice.

[00:51:57] It wouldn't be to see demon ghosts all the time. Like Zach Bagans from Ghost Adventures. I'd rather not. You know. Be haunted. But it just. It seems like maybe we are. Yeah. Yeah. I think that there's definitely. There's definitely some sort of connection there. Between it all. Because. As our. Mutual friend Tommy says. There's no such thing as coincidence. So. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I told him this story. Weird. Yeah.

[00:52:27] It's been a couple years since I told Tommy this story. But he said the same thing. He. He didn't know if it was the houses. We just had bad luck. And we always move into a haunted house. Or if it was just our family. Because my great grandpa was some kind of voodoo guy. Who knows. But. But. More recently. I. Told Tommy about this. Maybe. Mm. I think it's been a year now. But. I went to visit my family.

[00:52:56] And we wanted to go to like all these haunted places. And we went to. A famous. Cemetery in Ohio. It's called Lakeview Cemetery. And then we went to an abandoned. Kind of like a sane asylum. That I told you about. And we did like a little investigation thing there. And. I didn't think anything of it. When we were walking around. And doing all that stuff. But.

[00:53:25] And this was just last year. But when I got back to my house. Weird stuff. Started happening to me again. I mean weird stuff has kind of always happened to me. But it's. It'll be like real spaced out. Like years in between. Or like. Eight to ten months in between. Something weird happening to me. But. After we got. After I got back home. From. Going to that cemetery. And going to that. Abandoned.

[00:53:55] A sane asylum place. I started having like. Really weird dreams. And I'd wake up. And I'd see like a flash of a woman's face. Like an old. Scraggly woman. And I had. Never. Yeah. But I had never seen this woman before in my life. So it wasn't like I was like generating an image. Of like a. Old family member. Or something like that. So. Um. I remembered.

[00:54:23] As we were walking around in the cemetery. I started to get like a big blister on my foot. Because it was raining that day. And I was wearing new tennis shoes. So like a retard. I took my tennis shoes off. And was walking around the cemetery. Barefooted. And. Uh. I wouldn't recommend doing that. And we walked past. Are you familiar with the Rockefellers at all? They're like a big. Yeah. American family. Okay. Yeah. They're all buried at this cemetery.

[00:54:53] And. Uh. It was the creepiest. Uh. Headstone ever. It was like a big 30 foot obelisk. And had all these Rockefellers all over the place. And. I remember making fun of one headstone in particular. And. Um. It was. Me and my cousin. And we were laughing. And I was like taking a video. And I was like walking on the Rockefellers graves. And like. Ha ha ha ha ha. Cause. You know. They're supposed to be evil. Uh. Assholes. So.

[00:55:23] Um. I was just like. Having a good old time in the cemetery. Making fun of them and shit. And then I get back home. And I keep having like. Flashes of this old scraggly woman. In my dreams and shit. And. It occurred to me to like. Google. What this person's. That. I can't remember her name. I have a video of it. Because I'm like. Taking a selfie. And I was like. Ah. Look at this. Rockefeller. Yeah. But so. I googled this lady's name.

[00:55:54] And. When a picture popped up of her. It was like a young picture. So I was like. Oh no. That's not. I'm just imagining stuff. I was like. That's not even her. But then I started scrolling down. And there was a picture of her. Like right before she died. And she was all old. And scraggly looking. And you know. Stringy hair. And. I was like. Oh my god. That's the lady. That I've been seeing. Like in my. Dreams. Dreams. And. It's like.

[00:56:23] It would be like. One of those dreams. Where you'd see it. And then you'd wake up. And you'd almost still feel like. She. You could see her face. Yeah. And it was just so clear to me. And when I googled this. This Rockefeller lady. It looked just like the face. That I was seeing in my. Dream. And I wondered if like. Maybe I had some kind of. A weird attachment from. The cemetery. That followed me back home. And. Just a lot of. Like little weird stuff.

[00:56:53] Kept happening in my house. I would. Arm the alarm. To my house. Leave for work. And. In the middle of my work day. I'd get. A notification that. The back door was open. And the alarm to my house. Was going off. And that they were going to send the police. If I. Needed them to. And I was like. Okay. Let me go check it out. Don't send the police. Right away. You know. Maybe the back door. Just blew open. Or something like that. And I would get. I would go.

[00:57:23] All the way from work. Back over to my house. And. There would be nothing. No doors were open. No windows were open. There was no. Like. Door that got cracked open. By the wind. Nothing. And so. The first time that happened. I was like. Well. Maybe the alarm system. Just got fucked up. I don't know. But it happened. Like. Three more times. After that. And it would say. That there was like. Motion in the hallway. That somebody was walking around. In our house.

[00:57:53] And. That one was the scariest one. Because it didn't say. That a door was open. It said. Somebody was walking around. In our house. And it set off our. Alarm system. And then I would get to the house. And there would be nothing. And. And. That lasted like. Quite a few weeks. And. It just dissipated. And. Went away. But. Since then. I've moved out of that house. And I'm in a completely different state.

[00:58:22] And nothing like that has happened to me. Since then. But. It did make me think though. Kind of going along with like. Is it just our family? Or is it the house? Or whatever. That maybe we're just sensitive. To having stuff get attached to us. Follow us. Yeah. And. Like I said. We all kind of have a death wish. And. We all like to do haunted shit. All the time. And. Maybe we shouldn't. Maybe we're just.

[00:58:50] We're walking caution signs. And we should just not be doing that at all. But. We still do it anyway. Yeah. It's something funny. Which. Which might make you feel a bit worse. To be honest. But. I've seen a thing before. Saying that. If you see. If you see someone. If you see a person. Or you see a face in your dream. That cannot be a face. That you've made up. Apparently. Apparently when you're in a dream street. Your brain can't do that. So if you see someone in your dream.

[00:59:20] That you don't recognize. It could be literally somebody. That you just like walk past in the street. So when you're seeing her face. That's. You've seen it before. That's weird as fuck. That's what I'm saying. I did not know. I did not know who this lady was. And she was horrifying. Well that's what I mean. So then. So then. Where does her face come from? In your. Uh huh. Dream state. Mind. That's fucking. Horrible. Yeah. And. So.

[00:59:50] At the time. Um. I was. I was with my ex-husband. And. He was an asshole. And he never believed me. About anything I ever said. Ever. He thought like I was. Dramatic. I was making stuff up. That I would. He would be like. Didn't you. So I'm notorious for like. Where I used to be. I would like. Eat like three weed gummies. And then go to bed.

[01:00:20] And he'd be like. Oh you were fucking high. And you fucking. Saw some shit. And yet. Now you think he's all a ghost. And I was like. There's no way. I've. I've eaten so many weed gummies. Like. I could shit out. A year's worth of weed gummies. And it still wouldn't amount. To the. Yeah. Total. I've taken. And I've never hallucinated. Ever. I've never fucking hallucinated. Eating weed gummies. Okay. So. One time. I had. Eaten like.

[01:00:49] I don't know. Like three weed gummies. And I was laying there. Watching Ghostbusters. In my bedroom. And I fell asleep. In the middle of the movie. And I woke up. And I didn't know what time it was. Or anything. But it was like. Pitch black in my bedroom. Which is. Unusual. Because I would always sleep. With like the TV on or something. So. In my mind. Yeah. I thought that. I fell asleep. And my ex-husband had come in the room. And turned the TV off. And.

[01:01:18] That he was shortly about to get into bed. And so. I just laid there for a minute. And then I saw him come into the room. Cross in front of the bed. Go into the bathroom. And close the door. And I waited for a long time. And then. I felt behind me. Him getting into the bed. I felt the weight of the mattress. Like. Because he was pretty fucking hefty. So. When he got in the bed.

[01:01:48] I could definitely tell. And so. He rolled up behind me. And I had my back like this. And he was like spooning me. And then I rolled over with. My back. Back. With my face up. Rolled over on my back. And I could feel him next to me. And I was talking to him. And. I don't know. He said something. And I was like. I can't even remember what he said now. Because I was.

[01:02:18] Afterwards. I was so freaked out. I didn't care. But. I rolled back over with my back to him. And I went to like. Check to see what time it was on my phone. And it was like. I don't know. 1 a.m. 2 a.m. Something like that. And. I see. The bathroom light come on. To our. Bathroom in our bedroom. And I see him come out of the bathroom. And. I was like.

[01:02:48] Are you trying to fuck with me? Are you trying to scare me or some shit? Because as far as I knew. He was in the bed with me. And so. I reached over. And I turned to the. The side lamp. On. And. He was sure. Sure as shit. He had been in the bathroom. The whole time. And I was like. Are you fucking with me? Because I. You. You were just in bed with me. I rolled over. You said some weird shit. I rolled back over. And now you're in the bathroom.

[01:03:18] And he. He said. You're fucking high again. And hallucinating shit. I never got in the bed with you. And then I look over. And the blanket. Is perfectly straight. Like. He definitely was. He did not get in the bed with me. And so. I. It's almost like. You lie to yourself. And you're like. Maybe I was asleep. And I dreamed. That he got in the bed with me. Maybe I am so high. That I dreamed. That he got in the bed with me. And I rolled over. And had a semi conversation with him.

[01:03:48] Maybe. But. I. I just don't think so. I remember waking up. I remember him coming into the bedroom. I remember him coming out of the bathroom. I felt him getting in the bed with me. I felt the weight of the mattress go down. I felt him on my side. Then I heard him. And then when I roll over to check my phone. He's in the bathroom again. And it just. Like to me. This weird shit like that would happen to me. And I would.

[01:04:17] It seems so unbelievable. And so unrealistic. That you. You want to be so high. That you imagined it. Or you want to be half asleep. And have dreamed it. But. I just don't think I was that. High or that sleepy. That I could have. Like to roll over. And really feel that person next to you in the bed. And then look back over. And there's nothing. It. I mean. How do you explain that? I hope.

[01:04:47] I hope you don't want me to explain that. Because I can't. That's just. I get that. But again. It's. That's just. Again. I'm going to say. That's disgusting. Because that's like. So I'm literally getting in the bed with you. And like. There's. There's not many things. I can't think of many things worse than that. I can't either. Because it. It's like it touches. It touches. Yeah. That's the worst part. Yeah. Do you remember what I said in the last one?

[01:05:17] I was like. I can hear. Knocks on the wall. I can hear disembodied voices. I can hear. You know. See apparitions. But don't fucking touch me. I don't want to get touched. Do not touch me. And that's what freaks me out the most. Is like. Whatever it was. Literally got in the bed with me. And I told like three or four people that I podcast with at the time. It freaked me out so bad. I told like two or three people about it. Because.

[01:05:46] And I said it the same way. I was watching Ghostbusters. I fell asleep. I felt him get in the bed with me. I rolled over. He wasn't there. I wasn't high. And you know. Every time I talk to my sister. It's like I said. Every house she moves into. She's seeing fucking ghosts and shit. Coming out the fucking walls. And I believe her. Because she's not one to like. Make that kind of stuff up. Honestly. She. She acts like she's so. I don't want to say like high and mighty. Because she doesn't act like that.

[01:06:15] But she's so religious. That she really. She would rather not. Talk about that kind of stuff. Or say that she sees it. So. Every time she tells me a new story. It's. It's even worse. Because I feel like it's. You know. This has to be something with our family. Because we're all. Kind of haunted in some way. And. I don't. I don't know what it is. There's definitely. There's definitely. Some sort of. There has to be some sort of connection there.

[01:06:45] Between all of you. Somehow. For some reason. For whatever reason. I don't know. But. I just. I can't think of any other. Anything else. That's. Is even remotely rational. That isn't the fact that. Yeah. Like I say. We're literally just all connected. In some way. Me too. I mean. You know. I can't. I can't. Come up with anything either. And I guess. Like the worst part of this story. The. And the hardest part. To talk about. Too. Because. Every time I come on. Like a paranormal.

[01:07:15] Podcast. And I tell this story. And it seems like really awful. That our family would have been plagued. By something like this. Or that we all grew up in a haunted house. And. Whatever. We all have. Experiences. All the time. The worst part. Is that my grandpa. My grandma. My mom. And both of my aunts. All died. Exactly three years apart from each other. In the same. Season. And it happened.

[01:07:45] Every three years. Consecutively. Almost like this family curse thing. First. So my grandpa died. Three years later. Same season. My grandma died. Three years later. Same season. My aunt died. Three years later. Same season. My mom died. Three years later. Same season. My other aunt died. And just recently. It got. We are all creeped out by this.

[01:08:14] And it got to the third year. Last year. And. It wasn't funny at all. We had like a group conversation. Me and my cousins. And we were. Kind of scared. That one of us was going to die. Yeah. Because it had been three. Three years since my aunt died. And. Um. I had. I had. A horrible miscarriage. And I had to be rushed to the emergency room. And I almost died. Um. And so.

[01:08:44] It's like. Every three years. Someone either dies. Or almost. Well my baby died. But. And that's horrible to say it like that. But every three years. Like that cannot be a coincidence. That it just. That's why I've started thinking that. Like we're cursed or something like that. Because. What are the. Like my mom was only. Fifty seven. And my aunt was. Like fifty. When she died.

[01:09:14] So it wasn't like they were all. My grandma and grandpa were old. But my. Both of my aunts and my mom. Were. In their fifties. So. It just. I don't know. It seems odd to me that. Or how. How do you explain that? Every three years. A horrible tragedy in your family happens. Like that. A death. Or. I. I don't know. It's. It's like a family curse. Yeah. I mean. That's. That's literally what it sounds like. And again.

[01:09:44] Like. Again. To go back to Tommy's phrase about coincidences. Like. For me. I'd say. The first. Like obviously. Obviously the first. The first one to die three years later. Like. You wouldn't even think about it. But then after that. You'd be a bit like. A bit weird. And then when it happens again. That's when you're like. No. And I'll just say. Because I know. You've probably been wondering. What the hell I'm doing. I keep like staring at. Staring up like this. It sounds like someone's on me fucking shed roof. And I don't like it.

[01:10:15] Really? Yeah. It's freaking me the fuck out. I don't like it. Like footsteps? Yes. This happened the last time I was in here. And I don't fucking like it. I might have to burn the shed down. There's a podcast that I listen to. Called The Confessionals. And he talks to people about paranormal stuff. And he says all the time. That people reach out to him. And they say that when they play his podcast. Weird stuff happens in their house. So. I don't know.

[01:10:45] You talk about paranormal stuff. In one location for long enough. You'll start feeling it. You're welcoming them in. I think that is a thing. Because. It's weird. When I first come in here. Like before I do anything. Or if I come in here. So. So. As well as. As well as being my little podcast room. This is also my. Lego building room. So. When I'm in here doing that. Everything's fine. I'm happy in here. Then it's like my little.

[01:11:14] Safe space. Soon as I turn these lights on to red. Everything goes weird. Mm-hmm. And I don't. I don't know. And it is starting to freak me out a bit. It's like. I don't know whether it's. I don't know whether it's just a case of. Because we're talking about this stuff. It's more on your mind. Or anything. But. Like I said. And I can never hear any fucker on the roof normally. Until I start talking about this stuff. And then. Things start creaking and moving a lot more. Well. And you know what they say.

[01:11:43] When you look into the abyss. The abyss looks back at you. So it's not like it's always one-sided. That was a big bang. See. No. That one was fine. It was the cat. Because there's a light just coming outside. I can deal with that. Damn cat. Fucking bastard thing. It's probably got another fucking bird. The only thing I like about that fucking cat. Is it kills birds for me. Yeah. My cat does too. It brought a dead one into the house the other day.

[01:12:12] And tried to sling its fucking body parts all over the place. Oh. This one brings back live ones. Oh no. Chases them around the house then. Oh my god. Yeah. No. And you know my opinion on birds. So that's never fun to deal with. Have a live one flapping around in your living room. Exactly. Fuck that. No. Bastards. So to finish on. I've got a couple of like.

[01:12:41] Almost quick fire things. So first thing. So you mentioned. You've mentioned there a few times about yourself and other people having weird dreams and stuff. So have you ever. I mean you probably have. Have you ever experienced it? You know where you wake up and it feels like you've fallen and landed on your bed. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Do you know why that happens? Oh god. Is it paranormal or is it just because you're dreaming? No. Well no. It's hard. Well it's a horrible.

[01:13:10] It's a horrible thing to think about really. So that happens. Because. Basically you're going into that much of a deep sleep. Your heart rate gets too low. Your brain realizes that and shocks you awake. Oh my god. Oh my god. Yeah. I've had. You know when it happens to me. When I'm like falling off a building. And right before I smash the ground. Like I'll wake up and I'll be in my bed. Yeah. It was a horrible feeling.

[01:13:39] I've not experienced it for years. Like fuck. Oh god. It used to happen a lot when I was a kid. And I used to hate it. I used to dread going to sleep sometimes. Just because of the thought it would happen. Well have you ever interviewed somebody with sleep paralysis? I get it. You get it? Mm hmm. My husband gets it. And fucking. I think I've seen some terrible shit.

[01:14:06] He has seen stuff that will fucking haunt your life. Yeah. Weird. It's weird. Yeah. Other thing I was going to say. And just to mention Billy again. Even though he's not here. He's here in spirit. Yeah. We always have this conversation. Because. Basements are a lot more of a prominent thing. Over there in the US. We don't. We don't really have basements here. So. I always say that I would like a basement. Because. What I'm weird. Two.

[01:14:36] Two. I like the word. Which I know sounds even weirder. But I just like saying the word basement. Don't know why. But after what you've told me tonight. I no longer want a basement. So that will please Billy. Oh right. Yeah. Well. He said it makes me sound like a serial killer. Yeah. No. I mean there's been multiple serial killers. That have hidden bodies in their basements. You know why though. Is because. It's under the ground. And it's really cold. Exactly. I've never.

[01:15:04] I've never been in a warm basement. Ever. Every basement I've ever been in. Has had a cold chill. And. It's pitch black in there. Like. My grandma's basement. No windows. No outside light source. It's under the ground. There's fucking demons and shit all in there. Oh God. And like the whole. It's kind of like the basement. Well ours had a concrete floor. But the basement in the conjuring.

[01:15:33] There's a light at the top of the stairs. But you got to go all the way down into the bitch. To get the bottom light flipped on. I mean. That in and of itself. Is a horror movie. And it's scary as shit. Yeah exactly. I mean. What you told me. Just. What you told me there. About your grandma. And your grandpa's house and stuff. That literally just sounds like a horror movie. You could. You could turn that into a very good horror movie. Well. I talked to my husband the other day.

[01:16:02] Because I was just sitting here. Having random podcast or thoughts. And I said. Somebody needs to fucking. Hit me up next time. They're writing a script for a horror movie. I love horror movies. But I feel like. I don't know. I feel like I could write a really good one. Because I think they get it wrong. A lot of the times. When they're. If you're really trying to horrify someone. They do it in such a cheesy. Like laughable way sometimes. And it doesn't actually. Terrify. The watcher.

[01:16:31] And I feel like I'd be good at writing something. That would just absolutely mind fuck. The audience. Because I know how it feels. To actually be haunted. And it's nothing like what they put in the movie. Movies. I've just nearly had a fucking high stroke. Why? Can you not hear that? What? Fucking cat is. The cat is scratching the fucking walls of the shed. And I just nearly fucking died out of my head.

[01:17:00] Maybe I should put that in a horror movie. Honestly. This cat is getting skinned alive when I leave this shed. But right. There's a proposition for you then. So. Because me and Billy before. One of our episodes we did last year. Um. Was that we came up with our own horror. Our own horror movies. So I think we should do one between us. Like all of us pitch in ideas? Or all of us come up with one?

[01:17:30] Yeah. Well I'll put in ideas. And then we will. Merge it into one. Yeah. And then we can. Like read the plot. To the audience. And see what they think. Yeah. If they'd watch it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I see. I would totally do that. So. I want to go even as far as like. Would it be a found footage movie? Would it be like a regular? That's what we did. Like a found footage? We actually picked like what it would be. We even picked like who would be directing it. Who was doing the score for it and everything. Oh yeah.

[01:18:00] That's important. Right? Because. So I don't know if you've ever watched this Netflix show called Archive 81. But whoever did the music for Archive 81. It's just the sound of it alone will haunt you. And that's what I want. Just the sound of it alone. Yeah. I'm saying that because I kind of want to redo that episode that we did.

[01:18:31] Because I got silly with it. Like I did. Oh. So basically. Very quickly. So have you heard of the movie? The Mailman Only Knocks Once. Or something it's called. Jack Nicholson was in it. Oh no. Terrible film. It's about a postman who's just having a affair with this woman. And he knocks on the door once so she knows it's him. So I took the piss and called mine at The Milkman Only Knocks Twice.

[01:18:59] And basically it was about a milkman who murders people. That was mine. But yeah. It could work though. All right. I mean I thought it works. I thought it works. I actually would not do a slasher. I would either go demon possession or total paranormal. Yeah. Or and I don't even I don't want to have any cryptids in mine. I don't want to have any murderers.

[01:19:27] I just want ghosts and demons. I do have a thought for another movie that's it's it's a horror movie but it's not got any of those aspects in it at all. But that's that'll be for another episode. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

[01:19:50] All right. It would be.

[01:20:18] It would be.

[01:20:46] It would be. It would be a horror movie that you're not going to have any of those things in your life. Yeah. You know getting your hair touched getting your butt touched whatever.

[01:21:14] it's the worst it's the worst and i mean imagine like getting in bed with your woman at night and rolling over and giving her a big smooch and then finding out she's been in the living room the whole time i mean that's got to be that's the worst that's molestation via ghosts literally yeah yeah oh that was that was one that was like this will definitely be the last thing because it's

[01:21:38] just it's come back to my memory now because this is the hardest question in the world to answer right so there you there you said you've mentioned your husband there so you're in the house you are you're upstairs you hear your husband shout your name you walk down you're walking down the stairs you get halfway down the stairs you hear your husband's voice again from upstairs saying

[01:22:06] don't go downstairs i heard it as well what do you do i would say meet me at the bottom of the stairs and i would see if he came to the top of the stairs or the bottom of the stairs i just stay in the middle until i could get a visual that's a good answer whenever i've answered that question i've just said i'd just sit down and start crying right no i ain't moving if i hear him from the top of the stairs and the bottom i'm staying

[01:22:34] switzerland and i'm gonna say all right if you're at the bottom of the stairs come over here and if you're at the top of the stairs come up here and we'll see which one wouldn't it be sucking though if two people showed up at first the top and the bottom of the stairs then you'd have to start asking them questions that only they would know yeah that just sends it to a game show right what is my bo smell

[01:23:01] like if one of them can answer that then that's the real one and then i'm gonna go with that direction just something ridiculous like what do i not like on burritos and see if they can answer but i guess that's a good answer wouldn't a demon know though they'd be like onions and then you wouldn't know which one to choose possibly possibly that well there you go then there's the game you'd

[01:23:28] have to think of a question you would ask yeah like if they can accurately describe what my bo smells like i would i would say it it has to be the real one yeah probably oh it smells like a dried out mango that's been left in the sun for six years okay that's the one all right that's my husband
