High Rinn he ros.
Oh my god, you have a story about maybe my favorite one of my favorite places definitely, I would say my favorite hotel that I've ever been to, the Madonna Inn. And anyone listening if you don't know the Madonna In, google Madonna In in San Louis Obispo and look at the pictures and plan your Okay, it's haunted.
I guess it's haunted. I mean I think it's haunted.
I've heard that.
I've heard chirping, and we'll get into like my experience but I tried to look it up after and I think there's like I think they're taking down all those ghost stories because I couldn't find a drop of I guess what would you say, like evidence, But in my experience it was definitely haunted.
You never know some of these places, they're just like, that's our secret, don't tell anyone.
One hundred. So yeah, I'm glad. I assumed maybe you knew about the Madonna.
In but just to give like a visual like the Madonna and is like a kitchy kind of oculent like sixties housewife meets like Marie and Twinette sort of vibe that.
That sounds right, Okay.
Sure.
It's like the rooms are like different themed decor. Some of them are like going into a cave. And first of all, they have a great bakery there with gorgeous cakes. The carpeting is just like colorful flowers and just it's like a it's my favorite kind of decor personally.
Yeah, it's very maximalist, very sure and retro so retro.
Yeah, everybody should go. I love it. It's incredible and you should get the champagne cake.
Yes, totally little insider and they have really good sweet potato fries. Okay, and it's a great place to get married at it.
Is I've always said, if it's going to be there, for sure.
Okay. So what happened? They got ghosts too?
Yeah?
Yeah, so okay.
We decided me and my partner Dan, for our anniversary last year to go there kind of have like a staycation. Pretend we're at a resort for a second, well the kind it's all inclusive, but there's like a restaurant and there's a pool, and we're like, this is perfect, let's be lazy, let's laune and so, like you were saying, they have themed rooms, so we decided to book two rooms so we could try each of them out.
So the first night was super chill. We looked at this room that was like near the pool, that had like a fireplace. It was huge, just so lovely. And then the second room we got, which.
Was on our actual anniversary, was the I think some people call it the Pink Room. I'll have to look up what the actual name was, but it's like the most esthetic one. Like everyone on TikTok like if they're going to the Madonna and this is what they're posting about.
Okay, so it has like.
Pink sequined walls, like cherubs of hanging above the bed. It's like a three sixty view almost, and to get there you go through a viral staircase. Anyway, it's like a whole big deal. And so the fact that it was available was exciting, and so we're like waiting to move into that room. It's like midday by the time we get there, and we're like climbing up the spiral staircase and we open the door and we're like a little underwel it's like very different.
I mean, it's so cute, you know, it's like every room there is cute. But I was like, I really like.
Your other room, and so everything looks better on TikTok. Let's be real, right.
Everything looks better with a little filter.
So anyway, we get there.
We're like stucking it out. We're like okay, okay, like we can do this. We start unpacking and like we have been waiting to go to the pool, which is really cute. You know, get a little umbrella drink or something and just lounge and so we have pack.
We get to the.
Pool and I'm wearing like this white zebra swimsuit and all of a sudden, I realized I need to go get a tampon, and so I have to run back to the room.
I was like, this is.
Terrible timing, but it's okay. Let's not ruin the swimsuit. And I head back to the room to take care of business. And the bathroom, which I didn't explain before, has like his and his like mirror where like sinks, and each mirror has these like beautiful golden flower covered like frame basically, and I'm wearing my like little robe
and my swimsuit and my sung glass. I'm like, this is the perfect time for me to take twenty selfies that I'm never gonna use, and so I'm like snap them away, and like through the bathroom door, you can kind of see into the room and there's like a little it's like an alcove that's a very small room, but it still has like some shape, and I can see like the couch that's like within that room through the reflection, and I'm like, I don't want that in
my picture, so I close the door. I'm taking a couple more pictures and I start hearing this like banging sound. I doesn't really register for like a couple of seconds and I'm like, huh, like what is that? Did I leave the front door a little open? Is it like getting hit against the wind? And like I can't see through the room anymore because I showed the bathroom door. And then I'm like, actually, wait, is it like above me?
Is it? And this is the top four so there's nothing. There's nothing above me. It's just the roofs. And I'm like, oh, maybe it's like banging on the outside.
I don't know.
And so like I'm like, okay, I'm gonna get out of here and go back to the pool.
And I kitchen out like it felt like a scene from a movie because I opened the door, I step into the room, and not only do I not hear the banging anymore, but it's like all of the noise drops from the room.
It's like silence, complete silence.
And I cannot reference to what movie I've seen this in, but it felt like it, you know, where you're just like, oh, this is like creepy silence, not normal. And so I get this achy feeling and I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna get whole out of here, and so I text my partner on the way back to the pool, and I'm like, hey, I think our room might feel a little haunted.
And I was like fine with it.
I was like kind of like pumping myself up and being like it's totally fine, Like it's an old hotel, like it makes sense, like da.
Da da da da. And so we go on with our day. We have a nice time at the pool. We come back to the room to get ready for dinner. That's fine. We come back. I'm like, there's something about the room.
We just like don't really want to stay in it. It's nothing crazy yet, it's just like, oh, let's go out, like let's let's go have.
A drink now.
And so we end up going and having a drink at a bar and their giant goblet and staying out to like twelve and then we come back to the room and then it gets a little weird. So we get to bed retired. I'm like bitching about the TV because there's nothing good on and I'm like needing to sleep. Also,
are below neighbors. The person is snoring so loudly that we can hear it through the floor, and so I'm like, this isn't the best environment for me to sleep at this point anyway, Like the bed is in the middle of the room. There's like the freaking golden chare rubs like hanging above us, which kind of reminds me of do you ever see that movie The Haunting? Oh?
Yes, and they come alive?
Yes. Yeah.
So like that's creepy enough as it is. But anyway, I'm just kind of like laying there, like we're both facing the sliding glass door because it has like two little balconies.
Which is great. It's like one of the pluses of the room.
And Dan is falling asleep and I'm just like kind of trying to chill out. I'm just like a little tense and get to sleep, and I keep hearing the snoring and I'm like, oh my god, it's crazy.
And i start getting like really anxious about it. I'm like, why am I being so weird about this?
Like I have like an ex that snored in a past, Like maybe I'm like dealing with something like that anyway, But I keep getting more and more stiff and more and more stressed, and I'm like I've had panic attacks before, Like this was weird. It was different, and all of a sudden kind of where that I was talking about
that alcove that was like next to the bathroom. I start feeling this just like immense pressure which is behind me at this point, and it's almost like it wasn't a sound, but if you imagined it like sound waves or something, you know how there's like ripples and water. It like felt like movements like that, And it was just.
Kind of this feeling of dread and I'm kind of spinning out. I also feel like if I.
Let myself experience whatever's happening, like I'm going to hear something, like somebody is going to talk to me.
It was the feeling.
I swear I'm like totally.
Mentally stable as a person.
It was a very like crazy experience so far, and so I'm like holding my ears and freaking out.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't want to hear anything.
And then Dan wakes up and sees me like in this position and like gets me out onto the balcony. So one thing I didn't realize until the next day I'm kind of doing a little like backtracking is that while Dan was asleep, he had this very creepy dream but like the sliding glass door that we were both facing in his dream, there was like the same viewpoint that he would have had if he was just lying down, So it wasn't any.
Different, almost like like a sleep paralysis thing, but without the sleep paralysis, it was just the same exact view. The sliding glass door was open.
And he sees in this dream just like androgenous dark humanoid creature like flying in sideways.
He decided it like like you know, like a bait of fish. How they kind of like swim around on the water.
Okay, it was like like that, or like like a heat Wait, it's like distorted somehow.
Anyway, it was like dark like.
Flowing clothing and like this weird.
Face and anyway, it sounds creepy as hell. Oh and it was coming on this like bright blue stream of light. Anyway, he woke up the minute it got all the way in the door in his dream, and then he sees me like covering my ears and freaking out.
Oh my god, feel bad for the guy right.
Anyway, like in his wisdom, even in his sleeping as he brings me to the balcony. And now this balcony is looking over the hills, and you know they do like horse rides and stuff there or like horseback riding.
Uh huh.
And so we can like see where the stables are.
And I'm out there trying to calm my ass down, and Dan is in the room like turning on every light like clapping for some reason, I think to just like change the energy in the room. And I'm outside and all of a sudden, like I've been around horses before, like I've ridden horses, like I know what a horse sounds like, and all of a sudden, these horses start screaming. They just start screaming, and I like wave then over. I'm like come out here, and he hears it again
like twice. And so this is also to give just like facial context the same balcony that that weird creature flew in in his dream. So I don't know what the hell's going on, but like putting two and two together, it's like something weird going on over there. Anyway, Obviously we can't stay here. This is like too crazy. There's like horses screaming, there's like weird creatures and dreams. I'm freaking out, and so we're like, okay, we got to go.
So we're like pumping ourselves up on the balcony and planning what to do and what to grab, and I'm not like an organized person, so everything's everywhere, and I guess this is like the crescendo, like as we're packing up. Once we get in there, really like the room totally changes, like not only is it like a little creepy, now it's.
Like menacing, like full on dread.
Like both Dan and I are now experiencing this. And as we're like again scrambling like, oh, we don't want to open the closet, we'll get in the closet and like getting the flot like everything was throwing all the food in the ice box, you know, we start feeling like that that like dark menace like in the peripheral Dan had men and it's like like a black pillar
of I don't know, like energy or something. We're all just freaking out and we're both feeling it moved like around the room like above us and on the side of us, and it just feels like pure fear. And so we get the fuck out of there and we're on the balcony or excuse me, like the door porch area, and we put everything there and we're like running down the fucking spiral staircase. We have to take two trips, and we're definitely waking up the neighbors, who are now.
Like super pissed. It's like it's that guy was snoring out all night, so I don't feel that bad.
But we finally we finally get to the car and we're sitting there and we're just like we like, what do we do? And so I'm like, well, we got to check out or get another room. It's two in the morning at this point, and so we go. We talked to the concierge and we're like, yeah, we just couldn't sleep because this guy was snoring under us. So like we're gonna go or get another room. And they're like, oh, did you have like an issue with your room last night?
And we're like no, They're like, actually it's available.
We kind of switched rooms anyway.
So basically we go to the old room.
It's super nice.
We're terrified.
We're eating like whatever food was in the mini fridge, like bundled up by a fire, and just like getting our act together to like four in the morning.
And that's it.
And then I don't hear about the dream until the next day, and I swear like we were trying to talk about it before this call, and it's still creeps us up totally completely. I'm never going back to that room.
I think it was one of these TikTok people. They open up some portal.
In that room one hundred percent.
Doing some weird TikTok witch dance. Oh my god, that was really scary.
It was scary.
I was would you ever go back and stay?
Now? I'm that room.
I love the Madonna in I'm going to make a gamble on some other rooms, but I'm not going back there. Like, no, thank you, I'm good.
I don't even think it may not have even been something that's like attached to a room. Obviously it's like, oh, something floated in, but absolutely not. No thank you.
Well, And like, as I've said a million times, a hotel, I mean, that place has been open since nineteen fifty eight. It's like something weird, yeah, or bad or tragic or whatever has happened on that property. It just has to. Like there's thousands and thousands of people coming in and out of there all the time.
So exactly it.
Makes sense that every hotel would have some kind of weird energy there.
Oh, one hundred percent, one hundred percent. Yeah. Again, I researched.
I couldn't find anything, but you know, I have my own experience to say it's very creepy and hopefully the next time you go to the Madonna in it's totally fine.
Okay, what is this story about you brought a ghost home with you?
Yeah, so.
In this area, there's a place called Los Olivos. It's like in the Standianas area anyway.
It's kind of remote, so there's not a lot of like stuff going on, not a lot of like city lights.
And I was recording out there in this kind of like little shack situation, and I was recording late.
Because you're a musician, right, Yeah.
I'm a musician.
And my friend Bear was recording me and he walks me down and it's super dark, and like walks me to my car and share good byes, and then I'm sitting in the driver's seat and I'm looking at my phone and catching up and all of a sudden, I feel him like come back next to like my window, and so I turn and I start talking to him and nobody is there, and so I'm like, okay, I'll lock my doors, and I'm gonna get out here.
Because that was weird. And so I go back home.
Feeling a little eky, but like I'm okay, And really the weird part of it is that throughout the next couple weeks, I keep seeing something in the corner my eye kind of like what feels like peering around a corner. I'm like, Okay, well that's weird, that's creepy.
And like it's probably just me. I don't know, my.
Personal vision is bad or something. And then Dan, who lives with me, is like.
I keep having this feeling like there's something around the corner, like, oh.
No, you know. I'm like, okay, well maybe it's maybe it's fine, Like maybe it's fine, you know whatever.
I'm going to open up some windows. We're gonna like burn some stuff.
It's gonna be fine. And then I have two kids and my now sixteen year old screened like a couple days later. Again this was like the span of weeks, and I went in and he's like with Dan, just.
Peeking around the corner, and I was like, no, Dan is like in the garage anyway. There's just like multiple people seeing these like this weird little corner guy, and yeah.
Who is this weird? Like, just come out, honey, Yeah, stop being so shy.
Stop peaking.
It's twenty twenty four.
Come out anyway. I don't know how we got them out.
I think we just opened up all the windows.
And were like, get out of here.
That's so weird.
Yeah, just bringing ghoes home.
I wonder what that was, right.
I know I'm not crazy because at least two other people saw it, so you know, it helps my sanity to know I'm not.
No, that's like, that's the best part for sure, to have those other people also see this little creeper. Wow. Interesting, Wow, you gave us the goods could thank you so much for doing this, Wrenn.
You're very welcome, so glad to talk to you.
Where can people listen to your music?
Yeah, so you can go to ren dot com. It's spelled w r y n dot com and that has links to my Instagram and all that good stuff.
I love it. Thank you so much, Thanks for us, Thank you, wren. Okay, this next one is a caller named April who has stories from being a nurse and I'm obsessed with us. By the way, if any of you are nurses, doctor, like, if you work in a hospital or I don't know, just Eddie, if you work at a place that has a lot of paranormal, weird stuff. I love hearing those kinds of stories. So right in, Okay, here we go. Here's April. Oh my god, it is April Ayowa. Hello April Helloliar.
Yeah.
And you've broad ghost stories? What is like the scariest best one? Tell me?
Well, okay, so my scariest ghost story, at least it was the scariest too experience for me, was my sister likes to haunt me. Okay, yes, So I lost my mom when I was young, and then right in twenty twenty, when right before the pandemic hit, like two weeks before we all went in to lockdown, she died of cancer. So for context, she's my half sister, and my dad remarried with my mom, and when I was born, she was thirteen. I think I was viewed as the replacement family.
So she had a lot of anger towards me. Now she loves my baby sister. We all love my baby sister. She's wonderful, But there was always this weird tension there and you know, she was she was you know, she was a bully. She wasn't very nice to me. You know, a lot of my self confidence issues come from that. So she passes away. I went to see her husband and kids, and he gave me the sweater that I had left at her house, this really fuzzy soft sweater. So I brought it home with me because it made
me feel like her. She wore it all through her cancer, Like there's a high probability it was with her when she died. You know, it felt not even feel close. We couldn't have a funeral for her because COVID and you know, all of that stuff. And so about two years later, I had this plant of hers as well, and it was a jade plant. And I loved this jade plant. I tried to take care of it. It was huge, like you know, the stem was as big or as big around as my thumb. And I had
a nightmare. And for context, I lucid dream. I am almost always aware that I'm dreaming. I can pull myself out of it sometimes, but usually I take myself on an adventure. But this dream was terrifying. She was just it was like bansheet esque, like I can just see it in my mind still like black and white. Her hair streaming out, you know, around her just screaming at me. And I woke up and I was like, okay, that
was That was terrifying. And we were getting ready to move into a new rental house and so I thought myself, you know what, maybe she's just not thriving here. I'll take the jade plant with me to the new house. So I go to the jade plant and I touch it and it disintegrated. What the stem of the jade plant just and I'm sure it had root rot right like, I'm sure it just hadn't. There was damage there I couldn't see, but it picked that moment to do that. I was like terrifying. So I was like, I'm not
bringing that plant into the new house. I left it outside. I didn't bring the sweater inside. I was like, okay, Like this is not a good experience. I talked to my sister and that same day, she was in the car driving and this song came on that they used to dance too, and she was like, oh, I felt like Melissa was here with me and we were just dancing and singing. I was like, well it was her then, of course, because only her would come and give you a good time and scare the shit out of me.
So like a year later, I kept the like the pot that the jade plant was in, and I had it on top of a shelf. And that next Christmas, we were watching White Christmas, which is one of her favorite movies, and we would always sing the Sisters Sisters song together all the time, like that was so much
fun for us. That was playing on the TV. And I was getting some games out of the cupboard and a picture of the three of us fell off of the top of the shelf and snacked me in the head, big old wooden frame and like dazed me for a minute. It was I was like, okay, I'm done. And when we moved out, like six months later, I felt like it came from the pot. So I had put the pot on my front porch and I wasn't messing with it.
And when we were moving out, one of the little neighbor girls came over and she said, oh, that's pretty, and I said, do you want it? She was like yeah, So I haunted some small child and they're just living their worst lives ever from my sister. But she's left me alone. Since then.
Oh my god, Hey, yeah, little girl, have you ever wanted a bully ghost sister comes with it?
Yeah, this will be fine. I was like, she doesn't care to make her unhappy, just me.
Well, it's like it's really interesting to hear of like personalities remaining as ghosts.
You know.
I hope she uh, I hope she gets over that in the afterlife.
Yeah.
I know.
We kind of kind of always felt like she was just a young soul, and I hope that in her next era that she's one step closer to happiness or peace because she wasn't in this life.
There you go, great way to look at it. Tell me another.
One, Okay, So I have one more like deeply emotional one. So my mom died when I was eighteen, and one of my biggest fears in life was always well, I mean I remember the day that she was told trigger warning cancer story, the day that she was told she was terminal, and like, I was just so distraught. I was like, and I grew up in this cultish kind of church, so this was what I thought I had to be in life. But I remember just crying and being you know, how am I going to know how
to be a wife? How am I going to know how to be a mom, How am I going to you know, how to do anything in life? And she was just you know, comforted me in this time when she just received those devastating news. She was there for me in that moment. But many many years later, when I was in college where I met my very cute hobby but anyway, I had a feeling he was going
to propose that weekend. He was being very secretive and very worried about getting the weekend off and we were going camping, and I was so nervous about taking that next step. And I had a dream that my mom walked down the sidewalk to me, hugged me. She told me, I believe in you. You can do this, and there was something else. I don't remember what else she said,
but it was just like this beautiful moment. And then after she hugged me, she walked past me towards a light and I woke up and I was like, Oh, it's okay. No matter what I choose, it's fine. And she's come to me a couple more times in dreams when I really needed it, but this is the one that I most sharply remember.
Wow, that's incredible.
Yeah, it's very special name. My sister gets very mad because she's like, happen, I don't get those dreams.
That's amazing.
Still the favorite daughter. Okay. So I am a nurse and one of my first jobs as a nurse, I worked on a palette of care unit at a big hospital. And palade of care is like the umbrella that hospice sits under. So it's about, you know, quality of life over quantity of life. So we had patients who were like chronic patients, Like there was a gentleman with cystic fibrosis and every time he would come in, he would come into our department because we would give him the
actual pain meds he needed. He saw the same doctor every time. We'd helped, you know, treat him and get them on the road to recovery. And then we also on the other end of the spectrum, had you know, car accidents and cancers and you know, tragic scary things. But this isn't that kind of podcast, so I'm not going to do that to you. So we took care of this patient and I'll call him Tim, and he came to our department every couple of months and we
got really close and when he died. Me and a couple other nurses went up on our day off because the nurses who are working said, hey, just so you know, Tim is passing away soon, if you want to come say goodbye. So we came up to the hospital and sat with his mom and I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he opened his eyes for the
first time in days. It was beautiful. And when he ended up passing away, and you know, it was just one of those you see, I've seen hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of deaths, but that want the one that like sticks with me. And the last couple of times I've gotten like very drunk, I've talked about him, and like I feel like he still follows me, Like I feel his presence behind me in a weird sort of way, like I had this like protector, and the more I
verbalize it, the less I feel it. But I kind of always it's always he's like always leaning over my shoulder, and I really don't know what to make of that. It's just instinct.
I love it. You obviously made a huge impression on him.
I mean, he made a huge impression on me. It was a It was an interesting job I mean, we saw lots of lots of things, and I got really my intuition got really sharpened, if that makes sense. Like I could kind of tell when it was going to happen for a patient and when they were going to pass. You know. One time, there was this lady who was really struggling for days and days and she was dying
of COPD and it's a struggle to breathe. But this huge thunderstorm came in and I just felt my bones and I was like, she's going to pass away when the storm ends. And I was one hundred percent right. The storm rolled away, a rainbow came out, and she passed away, and I was like, Oh, all that struggle and she left with the storm. I just feel like her spirit was just gathered up with it and she left with that struggle to kind of dissipate and become joy again.
Wow.
Did you notice with so much death happening all the time, Like, were there weird ghostye kind of things that would happen around.
I mean, hospitals are definitely haunted. Yeah, I mean anytime you're in the hospital, I mean, all I can think of is how many patients have died in this exact bed I'm in. Oh, I mean, we would do and I would always do post mortem care, which is like the care you do after someone passes, and I would do it kind of a special way because the family spent so much time at the bedside and then they
pass and then they just have to leave. And they've been by this person's physical body for days, weeks, and now they're just supposed to leave. It's really scary. So the thing that I was taught by another really good nurse, but I would do is I would say, Okay, what's their favorite song or favorite kind of music, And I'd
tell them I'm going to play their favorite music. I'm going to give them one last really good bath, and then they're going to go down to the morgue, and then would just like explain the next steps that would happen. So there were weird things that would happen kind of
around that, you know. A couple times I had a call light go off and I'd go into the room and the patient was actively passing, and I would do rounds on the hour every hour, So I would go, you know, because I worked nights and want to let people sleep, you know, But you'd go in and make sure that they were okay and they didn't need more painments. And there was one call light that would always go off when the patient needed it, and I'd go in there and there was no one around, like the patient
was not capable of hitting the button. The family was fast asleep, and the call light was in the opposite corner of all of them. But the patient was breathing really hard and needed some more medication. And I wouldn't have known that for another fifteen minutes, but that little ghost was taken care of them.
Yeah, for sure, Guardian Angel vibe.
Yeah, you hear all kinds of ghost stories. I want sat for a lady, which is basically like if someone is either like suicidal or they're really confused and they keep trying to get out of bed. You see it a lot with older patients to have like a bladder infection and they get confused with it. And so I was sitting for this patient making sure she didn't get out of bed, and she she looks at me, just straightened my eyes and goes mother's alonger with us?
Is she?
And I was like, this was weird, but I have to sit in here the next ten hours. So that didn't happen, and then a couple of minutes later, she starts talking to someone in the room named Melissa, which is the name of my dad's sister.
I was like, okay, oh my.
God, and I just I just put it in a box in the back of my brain because I was like, I had to sit in here, so it can't be real yet, it can be real later.
Would you hear stuff like that from from patients of them, because I've told this story before about like my grandmother was in that situation where apparently she was like she could see that there were other people around because she was getting closer to the you know, other side or whatever whatever we think is the reason. But would you hear that kind of a thing from from patients?
Oh? Absolutely, I mean one hundred percent. The first time I saw it was when my mom was dying and she'd had a miscarriage before me and she. I think it was like pretty late on, and when she had us all at her bedside, she kept asking where her fourth kid was, and she kept getting up and running
trying to you know, find her baby. And we really felt like it was that child that was like stuck with her at the end, like she went all the way back to those memories, which was something she never even talked about with us.
Wow.
But yes, I mean once once a patient sees a child running in their room, that it doesn't exist. I give them like forty eight hours really, so they're either going to have a death experience, like we might bring them.
Out of it.
But like in my experience, once you see children, it's close.
And what do you think that is? Do you think that's their younger self? Do you think that's like just generally speaking.
I don't know. I think there is a real spiritual aspect to dying. And you know, I grew up in a faith and I'm agnostic at best now, but there really is something spiritual that's happened in that time. Now. On one side, oxygen deprivation, right, they have less oxygen in their brain, higher risk of hallucination. They're sometimes on
pain meds. You know, there's a risk of that, But some of them are not coincidental, Like some of the conversations that they're having, it's like they're resolving internal shit. Like I had patients who once you removed the ventilator, they passed away within five minutes. It was the whole family surrounding them, holding them, loving them, sometimes singing, and I don't know. I had another patient who he breathed, I am not kidding you, two to three times a
minute for a week before he died. This man was not at peace. I had a gentleman once who the family was at the bedside. He was there at the start of my shift. He wanted to talk to his son. His son stayed in the room and then came back out like, you know, fifteen twenty minutes later, and I stopped him and he was like, yeah, he's like I think he needs you know, he needs cleaned up. It's like, okay, aw, how are you doing. That was a really hard conversation,
but it was good. It was needed. And so me and another aid, me and an aid went in there and started giving him a bath. And he handed me he had like in a voice box, the kind you put up against your throat and you can so you can talk when you don't have, you know, natural vocal cords. And he handed it to me and mouthed, I'm done. And then I had him rolled on his side and I was holding him and he just died in my arms.
Like usually when they pass, it's slower, like it doesn't happen like in the movies, like unless it's a traumatic like gunshot trauma. Yes, maybe they're awake and alert to the very end. But most of the time, when people are dying, as their kidneys are shutting down, the chemicals and their kidneys build up, or the chemicals from their kidneys build up and kind of creates almost like a natural anesthesia, and they get sleepier and sleepier and sleepier
until they're not really waking up at all. This is the only one I had seen where it was like a decision and he's like, I'm ready, I'm done. I don't know, there's something going on.
That's so interesting, just like all right, I had the last conversation I needed, and let's end this.
And you know, some people wouldn't They wouldn't die. They would just just be on the edge of death for days, and the family would finally get up and go get a cup of coffee or go home and take a shower, and they pass away. They were gone, and they feel so guilty, and I'd say, no, that's what they wanted. They waited like they had plenty of time to pass away. While you were here, but they needed to do this alone. Yeah, I mean you live as you die. I mean it
doesn't end at your deathbed. I mean if you were a strong, resilient, like stubborn person, it might take you longer than someone who's at peace. Either the body or the spirit has to catch up one of the two.
This is so fascinating. I have never had a call like this on this podcast. I'm so happy that you've joined me to share this input.
Well, thank you. I kind of feel like I'm in the matrix because this feels like too good to be happening.
This is great. Well, thank you so much for joining me, April.
Oh, thank you, Roz.
Thank you April. Now we're moving on over to Juniper, who's got all kinds of stories, including a cousin with a haunted house. Take it away at Juniper. I am joined by Juniper in Idaho. Hi Juniper, Hello, Oh my gosh, I don't where do we start here? You've got all kinds of stories. What's yeah, what's the spookiest one you got?
Definitely the demon girl I saw in my room.
Okay, demon girls? Perfect. We have not had any demon girls on this episode yet. Let's let's do a demon girl.
Okay, Well, so I live lived in a house that was kind of old, but I would not think that it would be particularly haunted. But you know, I went to bed one night and I.
Fell asleep just like usual.
There was not anything weird going on. I just woke up in the middle of the night and something felt weird, something fell off. It was super dark, like darker than it usually is, and I kind of scanned my room and I had this smaller bookshelf across to the other wall, and I just noticed this girl crouched in my room. And she was like, think of the creepiest, like grudgiest looking girl you could possibly think of, like same feel.
She had like matted hair, and like a dress. I guess it just looked like a little girl's dress.
And when you say crouched, what do you mean.
I think like a frog ewa.
Demon frog girl?
Yes, yes.
And her eyes were completely white, like there wasn't anything there, and she just sat there and her mouth was so creepy. It was smiling like almost to her ears, and it was this really sinister, disgusting.
Smile.
So I mean, what do I do.
I do what I always do. I put the covers.
Over my head, and I am breathing super heavy. It's super gross underneath the covers because I'm breathing so heavy, and I I'm just like, holy shit, this is got to be a dream, right, Like, there's no.
Way this is real.
And I decided that I was going to pull my covers off because I'm very brave. And I looked across the room again and nobody's there. It's just normal again. And I was like, oh, okay, must have been like some sort of waking dream, you know, like maybe I wasn't awake all the way. So I get up and I go use a bathroom, get a drink because you know, I've had bad dreams before, and then I get sucked back into the bad dream when I go back to sleep.
So now when I have a bad dream, I just go walk around and try to wake myself up a little bit.
So I don't do that.
So I get a drink of water, come back upstairs to where my room is, go back to sleep, like not easily because I was terrified, but go back to sleep, and then I wake up again. I have no idea how long I've been asleep. It's weird again, like the room is super dark again. It's really gross feeling in there.
And I look across the room again to see if that chick is there, and I don't see her, but I do notice that there's this weird like gray light kind of emanating from the side of my bed where I'm sleeping, and I look down.
She's there again.
I can only see like the top of her head, but I can still see her smiling at me. And she's just sitting there, just staring at me. So I screamed, put the covers over my head again, and then.
I I think I called for my sister, who did not come. And yeah, I just stayed underneath the covers. After that, I.
Did not even bother to try and like breathe normal air. After that, I was like, I'm staying under here. And then I woke up the next morning.
Did she ever come back? Or was this just a one night thing?
It was a one night thing. I don't know what the deal was. That was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me.
That is so creepy. What was she doing.
Just staring at me? I don't I have no idea.
Were you like super stressed? Like what do we think this was Where did it come from?
I have been told that because I was kind of a little depressy at the time.
I have been told that.
And I don't know if I believe this, but like low level kind of seen anythings. We'll try to like suck the energy out of you if you have, like if you're having some mental health issues. Yeah, and that's kind of.
What people I've talked to has said about that. But I other than that, I have no idea.
Yeah, it's or almost like a manifestation of your darkness or something.
But yeah, I something terrifying.
Because yeah, it doesn't seem like it's the kind of thing that might have been attached to like your house. It was just like a one night thing.
Yeah, yeah, I that's kind of why if I do believe in it, I kind of think it's the like maybe something was like, oh, she's depressed. I'm going to scare the shit.
Out What an asshole? I hate that girl.
Oh I know me too.
Let me tell you tell me about.
Okay, let's see.
So this happened a little bit before before that girl. So I was an EMT for a while and I worked at a coffee shop and I was on call that day after my shift at the coffee shop, and I was just laying in my bed, like I was just messing around on my phone and you know, doing whatever I was doing that time, and my sister and her boyfriend were downstairs, which is I think directly below
where my room was. They're downstairs with my sister's dog, and they hear like a crash upstairs, and the next thing they hear is heavy footsteps walking down the hall and then to the stairs, and her dog, who doesn't like you know it, gets up, walks over to the stairs and does that like, you know, the playful yoga move, and does like this playful bark up the stairs. And so her boyfriend and her walk over to the stairs.
There's nobody there, and it creeped my sister out. So she walks up the stairs and to my room and.
Basically she's like, hey, did you just fall.
And I was like no, I've been sitting on my bed for like an hour now, and she was like okay, well and explained what she had heard, and I just looked at her. I was like, get out of my room, Like, get this bad juju out of my room right now. I do not want to hear. And so yeah, that was the thing that was really creepy. Though it is nice that her dog didn't think it was creepy. Does that make sense?
This was the same demon girl house. Yes, I wonder if it was her. Maybe the demon girl liked dogs and was nice to dogs.
You know what, It's really a red flag if a ghost didn't like a dog.
Yeah, well, I mean smiling at you with white eyes is kind of a red flag too. But at least she liked dogs, so that's good.
Yeah, just one redeeming quality.
What's your cat story?
Kind Of around the same time, actually, I was again on call, So.
Okay, now I'm starting to think your house was haunted.
I wonder, you know what that might be, that you might be onto something there. So it was around the same time I was on call again. So I was just sitting on my bed and we had this faster cat and he very sweet, very cuddly, always wanted attention,
like not a mean bone in this cat's body. Right, I'm just sitting there, he's on my hip and suddenly he claws me, jumps off the bed, and then starts circling my bed like literally like just a perfect circle around my bed, and his hair was all sticking up and his tail was all puffed up, and he's like growling at something at the foot of my bed, Like he wasn't growling at me, he was growling at something on my bed, and I was just like, you know, I'm gonna go downstairs. I hate this, And so that's
kind of what happened. And then right after that, that's when the dog thing happened.
You lived in a full unhunted house.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It had one of those really creepy mudrooms that was like cut out of the walls.
So yeah, I'm pretty sure it was haunted.
Yeah, something happened in there with a demon girl.
Yeah. Yeah.
What is the story of your cousin's haunted house?
This one is really weird, but it's also kind of funny. So my sister was moving into my cousin's house.
It was all the way in.
East Coast, so I drove with her.
We get to the house.
I don't know, maybe it's like the second or third day we're staying there. I'm sleeping on my sister's bed. It's also Charlestown, West Virginia, which is just super haunted anyways, And I'm just on my bed with my headphones in and my sister's doing the same thing, and with my headphones on, I could hear somebody walk up the stairs, like heavy footsteps again, walking up the stairs and then around the corner to where our bed is, and I literally took my headphones out and was like, is there
somebody there? Like I was expecting somebody to just like pot.
Their head out.
And I was like, Okay, that was super weird. And then my sister was like I heard it too, and I was like, oh. And my cousin, who is super spiritual and believes that her house is already haunted, and my sister texted her. She didn't know she was a sleep or not, so she just texted her, and my cousin flies up the stairs with sage and starts just like staging the entire attic where my sister's new room was, and she's like, I don't like this.
I don't like this.
I don't like this. And it set the fire alarms off.
And then because they.
Have like eighty whatever that security thing is, the fire department came, Oh my god, and that was really awkward, Like I heard the engine come and I was like, that sounds like a fire truck, guys, and they were like no, no, no, no, no no. And so like this dude had to check the house at like twelve thirty at night because my cousin stage.
Did he have ghosts busting equipment because that would that would help too.
Yeah, yeah, she does. She actually like records the attic sometimes because it's kind of the most haunted place, I think in the house, So she like has weird recordings.
So when this happened and your sister texted your cousin, your cousin was fully aware that there's like some some kind of ghost up there anyway, right, yeah, oh god, So what does she say happens in that house?
So Charlestown was, you know, like a Confederate place, and then it turned over to the Union and then it just kept slip flopping. But there's also like some I don't know if this is going to make sense, but like traditional cultural stuff that came over with the enslaved people and then the freed. So what my cousin says is she saw like a woman with like an African
face mask that was like charging her husband. And this was also in the attic where my sister's room was like charging her husband, and that is verifying, and she said it seemed to her like it was some sort of like shaman kind of person.
But yeah, so she's.
Seen that, and then like there's also just like footsteps that happened throughout the house.
She has videos of weird shadowy.
Things that happened in the house. One time, my sister was up there painting with my cousin and my cousin was like, I literally just saw shadow right behind you. So you know, it's pretty haunted.
Yeah, after the moving in in the sage incident, good for your sister for being like, Okay, I'm just gonna stay here now.
Very brave, very brave. We're all so brave.
So do you have any other stories you want to share?
The only thing I can really think is that it's pretty tame. But I used to wake up and see shadow figures all the time, and they like followed me from state to state. So I was in Idaho and I woke up one day I was training to be to work on a helicopter. WHOA, Yeah, I had worked out that day and it was a pretty hard workout, and my back was sore and my legs were sore, and I just I went to bed and I just wasn't feeling the greatest. Woke up in the middle of
the night. Also side note, same house. This is the same house where the demon girl is.
Uh, here we go.
Here we go.
Yeah, woke up in the middle of the night. There's just this like black mass standing over my bed and like, I assume just watching me sleep like a creeper. And literally I must have zero self preservation because I just sat up in bed said buck off, my back hurts and went back to sleep, rolled over.
Like and was the demon mass like my bad? Sorry?
Sorry, yeah, I mean I had I didn't see him the rest of the time I lived in that house, so I assumed that he you know, the scolding was good enough. But I ended up moving to Oregon, to Bend, Oregon into a completely different house and it wasn't even an old house, like, it was just a normal house. And I I woke up and I saw the mass again, but in the corner of the room. It wasn't as close to me this time, and.
I, well, yeah, it was scared that you were gonna snap at it.
Well, this time I stood up on my bed. I literally stood up on my bed, looked at it and was like hey, and it disappeared, and I just like blinked for a second, and I was like, what the hell am I doing yelling at nothing?
Hey?
It worked, Yeah it did.
You know what, You just got to stand up for yourself.
Sometimes it's kind.
Of like when you encounter a bear, like you're supposed to like be as big as possible. I think, yeah, that's true. I don't know.
I feel like that's what you're supposed to to something.
Yeah, but like you stand on a bed, Yeah, you're gonna show that thing. I'm actually huge, Yeah exactly.
But then I was in Nevada and I was staying with the guy I was dating at the time, and we're just sleeping in bed and I wake up again. I see this dark mass in the corner of the room. And I haven't told this person that I have experienced anything, right, Like, we're still it's like the beginning of our relationship a little bit, and I sit up in bed, didn't even think about it, sat up in bed, yelled, hey, what
are you doing? And then it goes away and the guy, the guy I was dating at the time was like, what the hell? I was like, Oh, god, bad dream. It's fine, bad dream. I had a bad dream.
Well that's good you were able to to get out of that and not have to be like just so you know, there's a sometimes this happens. Yeah, I'm a little quirky.
I hope it's not a deal breaker.
Good for you that you were standing up for yourself against that mass, right, that's very inspiring.
I hope to be inspiring for everybody.
Well, thank you so much for joining me, gen Nipper. These are great stories. Thank you, Thank you, Juniper. And our final caller today is Katie, who's got some stories about STD haunting, some spooky trespassing. Let's get to that now. Here's Katie. Oh my god, Katie from Denver. Hello, how are you?
I'm Weilras, how are you?
I am very excited because you sent me an email with your stories and you gave them titles including a sexually transmitted haunting and doll heads hanging from the ceiling. And I need to hear what these are all about.
Oh yes, I'm so thrilled to tell you.
Which one do we start with?
It's definitely gonna be dell Heads hanging from the ceiling. So this story is like late teen's early twenties Shenanigan. So I just want to make sure everyone knows like I'm older, now, I'm wiser. Now, these are not things that I would do again, but I did it in this experience. Okay, So my childhood friend, we'll call her Anita, brought me to her cousin's house we'll call him Brandon.
It is even more in the sixth than where I grew up, Like I grew up in a very small town, and then we traveled to an even smaller town that doesn't even have a walmart to hang out. Does that make sense?
Oh my god.
So we delivered papers in the middle of the night in Brandon. It's basically like a band slash drum studio. There was a full drum set in the back. Did we pause to play the drums?
Yes, we did.
Anyways, so we deliver these papers it's the middle of the night, and then we pick up a few of his friends. We'll call one of them. Side show Pat Corbyn and a girl named Toothpaste. That was her nickname. Apparently she's nicknamed Toothpaste because she styled her hair with toothpaste, and it rained once and Bob or Brandon like shook her head and it foamed like toothpaste. So we decided to go back to his mom's house to hang because we are but children, and since it was so late,
we didn't want to wake up with mom. So we did what any self respecting early twenty something would do, and we climbed into a one person tent with like six people to hot box. It was smoking weed out of a mannequin arm. Okay, it did require two people to operate it, but we sufficiently all got lit, and we decided to go on an adventure and stretch our legs.
Right.
So Brandon takes us up to his neighbor's house. And this is the kind of like neighborhood where like your neighbor's house is like a five minute walk. So we go to this house and he proceeds to tell us the story about how this guy was a total of acluse. No one ever saw him or really knew anything about him, and last winter he had paid someone to come take trees down on his property, and I guess perhaps they got into like some kind of altercation, and the guy
shoots the other guy in the head. We had a shotgun and then turned it on himself, and then it snowed and nobody found the bodies for like a week. Oh my god, banana pans. So we get in there. We get there and there are bathtub Mary's everywhere. Have you ever seen a bathtub Mary?
No?
What's a bathtub Mary?
I think this might be specifically an upstate New York thing, but it's basically like an old school like claw foot tub. And then he's very like, you know what I mean? And then he shove a Mary in it, and you're like, bathtub Mary, what you shove?
Oh?
Like a mayor a statue of marrying Yes? Got okay. I thought it was like, oh, you know you know that girl, she's a Bethtop Mary, if you know what I mean. Like, I don't know.
It's a very weird statue thing that you only pretty much see in upstadium.
Okay, cool.
So those are everywhere, and there's also like a whole bunch of sheds and like those giant storage containers all over the place. So Brandon and side show pat are like dirty little punks who love to get into stuff they have no business being in. So they lead us on this exploratory venture into one of the sheds just to see what's in there. And it was like a hoard's dream in there, all kinds of trashy treasures and like it was just amazing. Our little stone souls were like,
oh my god, it's like a giant garage sale. But no one's watching us. So we're creeping through all of the things, and there was a couple things that really appealed to us, Like I remember side show. Pat was like, saw this. Sheally, it's like basically like one of those walking sticks that looks like a leopar on my own it. So he grabbed that. I found a mirror that had elf on it that said looking good like that alien show from like the eighties.
Oh my god, yaz Alf, didn't he eat cats or something? Yes, okay, yes.
So we grabbed a couple of those things, and then we went to the next storage container and everybody was just kind of like peeking in boxes and like shuffling things around the see if there was anything cool. And I looked up because I could see that there were things hanging from the ceiling and I was the only one who seemed to notice it. And I was like, oh my god, I found treasure. Like it's just like I'm the only one who's seeing that. I'm so excited.
So I climbed up on a thing to get a closer look and ros this entire shed is covered on the ceiling with bags and all of them have dull heads in them.
Creepy.
It was the previous thing I've ever seen. I feel like if I had known in the future that I would be listening to your podcast, I would have grabbed as many as I could. Just send them to you so you could sell them money.
Now send them to me. We talk about that here, and for anyone listening I talk about ghosts and dolls, do not send them to me, please.
Okay, Well, I'm glad that I didn't collect any of them. So at that point, Anita and I start to like find a little bit of sense in the haze and realize that maybe this isn't the best idea that we are in the space and like going to this man's saying. So we managed to convince the rest of the group that is time to head back to the house and leave this clearly deranged man's things along. So once we get back to the house, we piled back into the van slash drum studio, into regroup and kind of settle
in for doing absolutely nothing in the country. So we're all laughing and telling stupid stories, and I kept noticing and knocking sound happening, but like the van is off, it's not on, it's not running. It is like the wee hours of the morning. It's got to be like three four o'clock in the morning at this point. So at first I was like, well, maybe we're being too loud, and maybe like his mom heard us and she's knocking on van, like shut up, you freaking yahoos, get out
of here. So I told Brandon to go check outside the van and there was nothing out there. So we all get like super quiet, and I think we're all feeling like a little freaked out in traps because there's like six of us in the back of the sand with a drum set. We're like, oh, maybe we are all not as comfortable as we once were. But we didn't want to leave the van because like, who was knocking on the van right? So out of nowhere, it sounds like something heavy land on the top of the van.
Oh to the point of where like the van door slides open, and we all still out over on top of each other, like we are under intact, clearly, we are absolutely tanned, and we're screaming, and then like eventually we all calmed down and like there's nothing around. Anita was convinced somehow that it was like one of the boys mossing with off and she was not having it, so she like yelled at everyone and dragged me back
in the house to go to bend. So I closed the door, and I was halfway through the kitchen and I heard that fricking door open on its own, like just the slow, creepy like creak and push open, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no no no. That porch that you have to go in has a super loud screen door on it, so there's no way that somebody opened that screen door, crept in and pushed it open back slightly and got out without me seeing it,
because I wasn't that far from the door. So now I'm a little panicked, kind of like nope, I'm just going to go to bed. It's fine. So later we heard that there was like some kind of kerfuffle with corbon and toothpaste and Twothespace had like this massive like mental breakdown and she lost her mind. So they drove her home, and as soon as they drove like and
got off his street, she was totally fine. It is very strange, like she was emotionally possessed, is the best way to put it, Like full blown melt down toothpaste four tooth days. But she went home to her roommate, so she's okay. So all night long, Anita and I hear gentle knocking out of bedroom window and she's still convinced that the boys are messing with us. She slept down me I laid there awake until the sun came
out because I was like panicked. And the next day, we were all heading home and we all just kind of like sat together in a circle and we're like, so we should take the things back, right, Like no one should take these links home. And we all just kind of like held hands and we're like, hey, we're like so sorry, like please please don't follow us home. We're going to bring the things back and like we will never speak of this ever again except for right
now on a podcast. And we were just like all them now.
So it makes me think that like the city or whoever, like tried to take all that stuff out of there and clear out the property. That stuff started happened to them, and then they just brought it back too, and that's and it's probably still there to this day because people every time they take it. This is my in my mind, this is what's going on there.
That is some small town goodness like that would just become like the town's junkyard.
Right.
They're like, we can't take anything, but we'll just put more things there.
Yeah, because if you take it, you will get knocks on your windows and doors will open, and your friend toothpaste will have a mental breakdown.
Correct. Yeah, So pro tip is like, don't go to a murder scene and take stuff like that's not and maybe get a proper smoking apparatus because nothing good comes from the smoking out of a mannekin arm.
Oh guy, let's hear the Sexually Transmitted Haunting. Have you ever seen the movie it follows?
No?
Is it spooky?
Oh my god, it's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. And it's literally like about sexually transmitted goes basically, But I don't know if that's what this story is. Tell me what this one is?
Well, I'm gonna watch that movie, so thank you for telling me about it. So I traveled back to my hometown and upstate New York to support my dad to a surgery that I was having. So I was there for a couple of weeks. So naturally, the first round of divorces had started for my generation. So an old friend had resurfaced, and like, all of a sudden, he's like making these proclamations and being in love with me
and blah blah blah, and how great I am. Yeah, and I'm like, oh, I am You're going through a divorce. How cue. So since I was staying with my parents and he was technically living in a camper in the backyard of the second guy whoever proposed to me, which was a whole other small town thing, I felt it was best to like find a secondary location to hang out in yeah, because I was bored and there's nothing
to do in that town. So I headed to the local Walmart for some beer and like a coach blanket and other supplies, and I took him to my favorite stargazing spots. I have been visiting this space for like fifteen years. It's a gorgeous church built in seventeen sixty nine. It originally burned down once, but then it was restored. I mean, I've spent like a lot of hours at this space. That's absolutely these There are issues my whole life, but I've always gone alone, which I think I had
something to do with it. So when I brought my little like nostalgic romantic interest to my super secret, amazing stargazing spot, he was like, immediately creeped out. I guess not everyone loves an old church surrounded by cornfield in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere. Might just be me.
Yeah, I wouldn't. That's not my thing. But I love people that love that, and I support everyone.
I will one day take photos and I will send them to you. Okay, I felt super comfortable, but because he was so creeped out, it kind of started to creep me out. So we stayed for like an hour, had a few beers under the stars, and then he decided like he couldn't sit amongst the cornfield any longer, so we moved to a secondary location to make that portion of the story very short. Turns out, he was
an asshole. It was a very short lived there, and when I returned home to my super cozy apartment in Virginia, I suddenly became like a bit of a hot spot haunting wise. Highlights were stuff like I felt like I was always being chased up the stairs. I'd never had
that feeling before. There was knocking on my back door, which was really creepy because I was on a second story apartment in the middle of like a bunch of rowhouses, so you had to like creepily get through all of these different backyards and climb up like this deck back porch thing that was super unstable, like it was very shaky. I wouldn't go on it, so like nobody could have done it without like the whole thing be shaking by the time I got there. Like it was just a
very cool not the vine. And then for some reason, this haunting hated my bathroom decor and it would like regularly chalk around anything breakable in there and just like mash my cute little trinkets what I had, but only in the bathroom. I don't understand, but Okay, so I was doing my absolute wafe to kind of ignore it and hope that it would just like I don't know,
Lucien or maybe like move on its own. And I'm a little bit witchy in nature, so I regularly shop at like metaphysical shops like incense and crystals and stuff. So I'm trying to ignore my ghostly issues and shops for like a nice incense, but I think might counts my home. And I got approached by a psychic who works at the store and they start waving their hands around me like they're shooting something away, and they look me dead in the eyes and they're like, child, where
have you been? And I was like, ooh, bitch, no, oh no. So immediately I was like, oh, this whitch things. She's gonna scam me. She's gonna try to sell me something or like, you know, get me to buy some expensive candle or something. And I'm like, not today, not me, so tiy dollar, I haven't been anywhere. And I tried to go back to my shopping and then she asked me did you recently travel home? And I was like, oh, uh oh, how does she know that? And I'm like shit.
So then this other psychic shows up and joins the conversation and start saying something about an entity that died of some kind of plague attached to me. The first psychic like didn't agree, and they started arguing about it, like in front of me. So I'm just standing there while these two psychics argue over like what my problem is when I have not yet to acknowledge that I have a problem. At this point, I'm like, yeah, I gotta go, like I'm just gonna leave, like y'all have
your argument. I will talk to you some other time. And before I leave, the first psychic is like, did you recently spend time in or were you really close to the cemetery? And I turned around all facty, like I think I would know if I was around a cemetery. I was not around a cemetery, And she's like, are you sure? And I was like, legit, I would now. So I get back into my car and I was like,
like a little fuming. I was like, how dare she like not think I even know like where I've been, or like I wouldn't know if I was in a cemetery. I know better. And then I'm sitting in the car and I realized that church has a cemetery behind her.
Oh my god.
I don't ever go back there, but it's me there and I had to go back in with like my tail between my legs and oh.
Remember me, I'm so sorry.
I would like to buy whatever you have.
Yeah, five hundred dollars for a candle? Okay, fine, what how do I get rid of this?
For real? Though?
So she ended up actually giving me a very like well priced it was like charcoal discs and like a very cheap, loose incense. But I to you and thankfully, at the same time, my friend Julie had just done some kind of like ritual course of something, so she actually came over and hung out with me, and we prepared like a whole little ritual and we kind of just politely vanished the entity where like you get me
so back to wherever you're from. But yeah, basically I feel like the pro tip for this one is like, don't drink beers and hook up at an old church for the cemetery behind it in a cornfield in front of it. And the bonus tip is like there's a reason why they're getting divorced, and like maybe don't hang out with them just full package.
So, I mean, you had been there a million times and then the one difference is that you brought this guy do you think that, like, I don't know the spirits there were mad about that or why do you think this happened this time?
And I think they roman because like is some sacriligious ship in front of that church?
Yeah, I could see that.
Yeah, they're pretty stealthy about that. And I apologize would never again. They're out of ten. Do not recommend.
