What's that at the bed.
It's spookyoky.
I'm pretty sure it's dead. It's coming this way. Wait a minute, I said, biros Dress, Hey boo, it's me Roz. How you doing. I cannot believe it's truly been like almost a year of the pandemic. The last Ghosted live show was on the seventh of March last year, and it was just such a beautiful night. And I remember, of course, we were all talking about COVID at the time, the coronavirus, and there was in the back of my
mind like should we should we be doing this? But it was still not like on lockdown yet, And then I think, like, I don't know, was it the next week or whenever when it was really like okay. Luckily, to my knowledge, nobody got ill when we were doing the live show. But I just can't believe it's been
a full year. And you know, as I kind of gave a speech when we hit the two year mark of this podcast in January, I am just so so grateful that all of you have continued to listen as I've had to figure out with my crew at Starburns Audio, you know, how to record this from home and just we've been doing our best, and I think we've had
some wonderful shows this past year. And now it's like this thing I do from home in my living room, and it's almost become very normal, but it's still we're still doing it, and I'm I'm still so happy to do it, and I just I just love you guys so much, and I'm you know, I've started doing Patreon during this, and you guys have been so supportive, and I always appreciate when you do that and that you guys are here for it, and so thank you, thank you,
thank you. I was actually thinking I should read some five star reviews. I haven't done that in a while. So let's take a look. Oh my god, I love this. Kissipher ninety nine wrote boxes Colin checked this got me right off. The picture of Roz like an old paperback cover. The theme song, then the stories. Love it. Thank you. J U l I. E. Julie wrote fun Way to Pass Time. This podcast is the best intro song out there. I'm obsessed. That is so nice. Thank you. Tornado Gang
Underscore yt writes New Listener loves this podcast. I just started listening to Ghosted a week ago and it's my new favorite podcast. There are a lot of podcasts out there that talk about ghosts and other paranormal things, and this one is the best. I love How Ross Talks. Oh thank you. It's funny, enjoyable to listen to, and a great interviewer, keeps me entertained while I drive, do the laundry, take walks with my dog, etc. It's well worth your time to check it out. Thank you. Oh
my god, these are all so nice. Thank you everyone. And you know this is always a great place that you can leave me a ghost story to read. So let me look. What are some ghost stories we got here? This one is from at Mara Moulan on Apple Podcasts. They wrote, love the podcast. Here's one of my dad's ghost stories that keeps me up at night. My dad has a hard time sleeping. He is often up at all hours of the night. One night, he was in his bed when he heard a child call out, Hey,
can somebody help me? He thinks this voice sounded like it belonged to an eleven year old girl, which did not match either my brother or I at the time. He gets up and comes to the living room where the voice was. He turns on the light to find that the kitchen and living room was empty with the TV off. He goes to the room right off the living room to find me dead asleep. He goes down the hall to my brother's room and again he was asleep. As he was in the hallway, he hears again a
child call out, Hey, can somebody help me? Okay, I added the attitude with a there was a little bit of attitude the way I said it, Hey can somebody help me? Clearly coming from the living room. When he comes in, the room is completely empty. He checked the house again and no one had come in. He was the only one awake, and there was no explanation for the child's voice, no TV radio, nothing, Oh who is that kid? Help that child? Thank you so much for
sending me that. And guys, if you could please give me a five star rating and if you would like to leave a review, that would be lovely on Apple podcast and you can send me a ghost story there and I would love to read it on the show. So thank you all so much for that. Also, something I probably could have talked about last week, but the show was kind of long and so I kept it
kind of quick. But there was this UFO sighting that happened on an American Airlines flight from Cincinnati to Phoenix, and the pilot made a call saying that there was he described it. He said, it looked like a crew missile type thing that was moving super fast right over the plane. And it seems like something and it made a lot of headlines last week, So check that out.
I find it to be a very interesting story. And on today's show, I have got a dear friend, someone that I admire very much and have known for a number of years. We've done some fun, silly things. We used to do stand up shows together and our Casita del Campo shows and he's just so great. And if you don't know Alec Mapa, he's one of those people that, like, if you just google Alec Mapa, you'd be like, oh
my God, of course. And if you want to look at his IMDb, make sure that whatever device you are looking at it on it is charged and plugged in to the wall, because you'll be growing for a long time. And actually it was announced this week that Alec is actually going to be joining the cast of a new ABC comedy series starring Alec Baldwin and Kelsey Grammer and I'm so grateful that I finally was able to get him on here, and he's got some stories. So I
hope you enjoy this episode with Alec Mapa. Oh and if you want to go to Patreon this week, Alec is talking with me about some dream stuff when we talk about astral projection, and we talk about this time when he was kind, yeah, like having what I've learned now from doing a little bit more research. I guess people say out of body experience instead of astral projection.
I don't know, but he was having like an out of body sleep thing going on, and also a very vivid dream that might have been like a past life thing that he had. So let's say my second tier of Patreon and my first tier of Patreon is me talking about eBay dolls because it's that time of the month. Okay, here we go, Alec Mapa on with the show. Oh my god, I am joined by television's Alec Mapa. How are you hi?
Everybody? It's all for you, Damien.
It has been so long. I haven't seen you in forever. I have before time, I seriously, and I've wanted you on this podcast for a long time. I don't know if you remember this, But there was a point when you were going to do one of our live shows. Something came up, but you were gonna do it at Casita del Campo, which is.
Like I was, and I couldn't make it.
I talk about that place it feels like every single episode because people, you know, I've had all of our friends that we do shows with their and you know some of them report ghost stuff happening there. Did you ever have anything there happening?
Nothing at Casa del Campo? I did work at. I did did shoot a pilot at Magic Castle. I was part of a you know, I'm I'm the Queen of Dalist celebrity reality shows and I was did one for v H one years ago called uh celebrit Cadamera and it was I shot the pilot for it and it was me. It was it was like dancing with the stars, but you learned how to be a magician.
Do you remember your magic tricks?
No? I don't remember any of them, but my like we each did like a different genre of magic, Like I did close up magic. So my challenge was to go to up to people at Gramman's Chinese Theater and do magic tricks for them, and I had like card tricks, I had an exploding light bulb I had I forget what else. But anyway, did you magic Castle? I didn't pull a rabbit out of anything. I would have wanted to out of my ass when that's been cool? Why is this rabbit brown? I? Uh? I shot at Magic Castle,
And I remember I hated being alone. I didn't ever want to be alone. And that place is like a long history and there's a basement, and then there are magic rooms that go off to the side, and then in one display case downstairs were two ventriloquist dummies and they were like from the twenties and thirties.
So I'm obsessed with though. This is one of the weirdest things about me is that I'm obsessed with antique ventriloquist dummies. I think they're so creepy and cool and scary.
But here's the thing about that is this was I wasn't just looking at as a hunk of would. This was somebody's livelihood. This dummy traveled all across the country, right on stages everywhere. It was somebody's career. And now it's just sitting in this display case in a basement and I was like you, I had a morbid fascination with it, and I could feel an energy coming off of the case every time I walk near it, to the point where I was like, I'm out of here.
I can't be down here with this thing alone. And nobody else felt it or saw it or anything, and I just felt like, this is a weird day. This is this is like, this is a weird place with weird energy, and this is a weird day. There was something something's gonna happen today. And then as soon as we got back from lunch, somebody said Anna, Nicole Smith is dead and I was like oh ooh, like like and it was literally like right before that, I was like,
something weird's gonna happen. That's not really a ghost story. It's just kind of like a weird story. But I'm from the Philippines and we believe in everything. You know, it's not a matter of whether whether or not ghost surreal. It's just an accepted reality of when you grow up that ghost surreal.
Well, I don't know how much you know about the Magic Castle being haunted, but it definitely is. And people say that the Magic Castle's haunted, Like what.
Kind of phenomena has taken place there, right kind of.
I wish I knew more. I would like to get somebody on this podcast that like works there or something, but don't. I don't particularly know the exact stories, but I ate it.
I was once went on a trip with my husband to Savannah, Georgia, which tellts itself as the most haunted city in America. And we at this place, this very famous bar slash restaurant that goes all the way back to pirate days, like pirates used to go there, and everybody who works there has a ghost story about like I was closing up alone, I got locked in the bathroom, I got I got locked in the bathroom. Glasses just
get swiped off the bar, like randomly. There was a person who took a picture and they have it posted in the restaurant. There's a picture of somebody who's like smiling, posing with the piano player, and there's you know how a flash appears like in like sixth sense, you know, like there's a flash in the in the picture.
Mm hmm.
And and they said, look closely into that flash in the picture, and you see like a big man's face like Pirates of the Caribbean face like grinning, like like it's so I can get chills just singing about it. But I was on the road and doing a play Butterfly in ninety.
Ok hold up, you're just like throwing so many ghost stories at me. I'm trying to okay, this was this one's a good one though, Okay, oh go go, okay, I'm trying to process all of this. Uh okay, okay, okay. So usually what we do here is we kind of start from the top, like we start from the bun.
All right, I'm not following procedure. It's you are and I've gone rogue.
No, this is why we love you, alec Okay, so hold up because we will get to that.
All right.
So you you grew up in where Sir Francisco, so you're what were you raised to believe around ghosts or can you?
So it is like, you know, all island cultures, whether it's from Puerto Rico or the Bahamas or you know, Trinidad or we all have Sue island superstitions, and but Filipinos take it beyond that. It's kind of like it's it's very common to have in your house and the Philippines like a protective amulant amulet against vampires. You bless spaces before you go into it in order to kind
of like, you know, cleanse any evil spirits. If you go into a jungle or into an area where there's a lot of nature, you say out loud, tabi tabi pol, which means I respect all the spirits here. I'm not here to cause any trouble. Please don't fuck with me, kind of like, and is this.
That you do to this day or no?
Yeah, yeah, I will do it. I'll say it in my head or if I feel that, if I feel something's creepy, I will say tabi tabi pole out loud. And but it's just kind of to let everybody know. It's a way of letting the spirits know I'm here, I sense your presence. I'm cole pleased. Fuck with me.
Yeah. Has that worked for you?
Yeah? Yeah. I mean my brother gets it a lot. He has a lot of negative experiences, Like he's the one who wakes up with night terrors and stuff, and right right before he wakes up, he like he feels like somebody standing on his chest or something that's happened to a bunch of him a bunch of times in the Philippines. Like, the Philippines is just like the only place I can compare it to is like New Orleans.
When you go to New Orleans and you're walking around the French Quarter, you're like, shit happened.
Here, totally sit too much.
Shit has happened here. Slaves were sold here, you know, people were there, was human traffic. It was the center of human trafficking for hundreds of years, New Orleans, and so it is kind of like it's filled with that kind of energy. And the Philippines is the same way. It's kind of like, you know, World War two happened there. You know, the Japanese tortured Filipinos there. It was colonized by the Spanish for four hundred years, so there was a lot it was like the equivalent of the Spanish
Inquisition bringing Catholicism to the Philippines. So there's a lot of blood in the ground. Yeah that makes sense.
Yes, Yeah. So when you were a kid, did you have any paranormal experiences, like any ghost experiences?
You heard about them NonStop? Really, I mean I heard about them NonStop. My my my father had a the word for nanny into galgaz yaya. They said, I had my father had a yaya who would go stiff, rigid and speak in tongues. She would just speak in tongues. My grandfather was murdered in during the war in the Philippines. I left my grandmother a widow with six kids. He was on an island called elo Elo, which was a faery ride to Manila, and he was like, go there,
I'll meet you. And he was he was a judge, very strict judge, and he put a lot of people in jail, a lot of bad people. And so he said, go take the kids, I'll see you in Manila. In a week and one the Japanese landed and started, you know, fighting the Americans. All the prisons were opened up, and the prison on my grandfather's island was opened up. And the people that he put away, the murders he put away, dragged him from his house in the middle of the night, tied him to a tree and killed him.
Oh my god.
And so the story is that my grandma, my Lala Rehina, was in Manila with all the kids and they were all laughing and everything, and all of a sudden she slammed her just dinner, you know, just you know, six kids, noisy. She slammed her palms down on the table boom and just started crying, just started wailing inconsolably, and she didn't know why, like, and everybody was like, what the fuck? And as it turns out, that was the night her husband was murdered.
This is okay, We've talked about I've done the show for two years now. It's so weird how sometimes when I do this show, we I just start to get these patterns of similar things. And right now I'm in like this phase where I keep hearing stories that are this kind of thing, this like family thing where you wake up and you're like, my relative just died, or like, I don't know something. I don't know what you called that. It's not like a premonition or something.
But answer answer something. Coco Peru has a story about she was visiting Peru for the first time and she was in Matchipiachu and all of a sudden, she felt like she couldn't breathe. She said, it felt like somebody was pulling straws through her nose, almost like it was and she couldn't breathe for a second, and she said it like, I literally felt straws being pulled through my nose, and at that moment, her father was being taken off a ventilator and was dying.
I don't think, Okay, Coco, we did a two part episode with Coco on the show, because Coco has so many stories. I don't think we got that one. So okay, when you first had like your own paranormal experience, when when did that happen?
What was like? This was like, Okay, so I'm in this is my dressing room. I'm in Baltimore, I'm on tour with a play. Okay, this is my dressing room. Mirror to the left, there's a bathroom door, and then there's a sink.
So h do you know what this was?
No, it was an old theater. I just remember it was an old theater. So I sit down and then the water's running, and I go, okay, so I go to the bathroom. I go in and I turn off the water and then I go back and I start doing my makeup and everything. Five minutes later, the water's going again, and I'm checking it to see how you know, I'm really screwing it tight and it's not leak it's
not springing back on its own, right mm hmm. And I tell one of the crew members, I think there's something wrong with my sink, and he says, is it turning on by itself? And I go yeah. He goes, oh, that happens in that dressing room all the time. And I'm like, oh wow, because I literally thought it was just kind of like a loose thing. And I said, so I went the next night. I came in and I said, Okay, I know you're here. It's all right, I know you're here. And I said, you know I'm here.
I'm just doing this play. If you want to let me know you're here. Where you're here, you don't have to waste water, right, And then it stopped.
Oh interesting it stopped.
And then I had a dressing room at the old RKO Studios. I was doing a talk show that ran for a couple of months.
And is that wait, k is that Paramount or it's not Paramount.
It's like it's like down from Sunset Gower. It's like, oh no, it's the old k kel KTLA studios, ok, right before the one and that's been around forever. It's now the Netflix campus. But thats been around since the silent film era. I mean it is old. It is old. So we were on a soundstage and there was a dressing room that I had that could only be locked from the inside. It could only be locked from the inside, and it was and knowing that I would make sure
it was unlocked. Every time I left the dressing room. I would make sure because I didn't want to be locked out right, make sure that my dressing room is not locked, because it can only be locked from the inside. And every time I came back from the pretty much every time I came back from a break or when we were done filming and I need to go back pack dressing room, it was always locked. Oh my god, and it could only be locked from the inside.
I was having this thought right before I was talking to you, because I was like, I wasn't sure what your ghost stories are, and I was thinking, I'm always talking about theaters, and I'm always looking for people with like theater stories, because you know, everyone always says that theaters are all haunted. And then I was like, weren't you were on Broadway and were you at was that at the Eugene O'Neil Theater.
I was at the O'Neil, and then I also did Broadway shows at the Lyceum and the Belasco, and there's a lot of ghost stories about that place there.
Well, I did some googling, like hold up, let's see here. Okay, this is from grunge dot com, and it says Patty Lapone encountered something ghostly at the Eugene O'Neill Theater. It says play Playbill reports that Lapone was at the Eugene O'Neill Theater during the two thousand and six run of
Sweeney Todd. According to a report from a fellow actor and singer, Donna lynche Implin, Lapone's dressing room seemed to have been a locust for paranormal activity, As Champlain maintained, the doors to Lapone's room would often open and close without anyone nearby. Once, Lapone believed that she had stepped backward onto her friend's foot. When she apologized, the friend revealed that she hadn't been standing anywhere nearby. Lapone turned
and saw no one behind her. And then there's more stuff.
I love that. I mean, it's like I didn't have any experiences there I had, you know, it was I don't know. I didn't have any experiences there. But when you walk into a Broadway house, I mean, here's the thing. I believe that ghosts are a physical reality because it's kind of like it's an echo. I think it's an echo of energy, a pass And you think about a theater, It's contained all those performances, all that emotion, all that audience,
all the shenanigans backstage. That's a lot of energy for one building to well.
Yeah, you think all the audience is coming in, and you also think of I always think of an emotion as being can be left behind and when you.
Yeah, have you ever walked into a room where two people have just had a fight and they're like, hey, how are you and you're like, what's going on?
Exactly?
Like that's a ghost To me, it's kind of way, that's an echo of that energy.
So when you think of people like the nerves of oh my god, I'm an understudy and it's my first night, Like, there's just so much of that nervous energy. There's so much excitement, there's so much heartbreak.
Yeah, tragedy, I mean the Alasko Theater. I mean, he was kind of a creepy guy. He had an apartment up there. He would take show girls up there, so it got kind of raypie. They are the legends the Lyceum has a ghost. They say that if you see people see somebody sitting who's not a part of the crew, all dressed up in a tuxedo. The legend goes during technical rehearsals, you know, because you're there ten out of twelve,
you're there for all day. And and sometimes they say, if you see him sitting up there, if you see a guy in a talk sitting up there doing, you're gonna your show is going to be a hit. Oh yeah, So every Broadway house has its.
Right, I haven't had enough Broadway people on here.
Have you ever seen anything physically like a paranormal thing? Like, have you ever actually seen like an apparition. I've never seen anything, but I've always like since like something's up here, Like I felt the hair in the back of my neck go up. I felt like that feeling of where somebody staring at your back, like I felt that the presence of something totally.
I've the only time I've seen what I believe to be a ghost is my grandmother when I was like ten years old, and it was a very brief. It's always so interesting because I'm always curious about how a ghost looks, because they look different at different times. So sometimes they just look like a human being. Sometimes they're floating, sometimes they're see through, and this one was kind of see through and floating. I would say, and very quick and gone.
Where was the Where was the where? Where? Where did you see this?
I was in my home that she lived in.
I grew up in a very big house, like we were. We had a lot of money at one time. Uh, and then my father made a series of bad business deals and we were like bankrupt overnight. But we grew up in a huge, huge house that belonged to previously. The previous owner had been a man who had worked
on the Manhattan Project. In fact, one of the labs was turned into a bedroom, my bedroom, and it was where he had worked on the bomb, the H bomb, the A bomb, And apparently he was a scientist and started as a good guy, but after he developed it and after the bomb was detonated, he was inconsolable just for the rest of his life. He was filled with grief about having contributed to this. So I while we were there, our father lost all his money. He had
a complete lyrious breakdown. It was really sad. It broke the family apart. We all had to move different places in order to kind of figure out how to. You know, I was like fourteen and I was living a very adult life on my own already. You know, that's how bad it was. My brother was working as a travel agent downtown for Triple A and somebody said, Mapa, your name's Mapa, And he goes, yeah, did you live at twenty two Mariloma. It says, yeah, we moved in right
after you guys and my parents died. We had a string of bad luck. He goes that place, like, is a really sad house, And he and my brother talked about how the energy of that house and how it was just a place of like sadness. It's like, like I think of that place now when I picture it, it's like, I'm really sad. You know. It was like the last time me and my family were like a whole kind of unit before we all split apart and everything, and it's just like so many bad things happen there.
Well, if we go back to that idea of an emotion being trapped in a building or in a place like, yeah, if there's all that remorse and just sadness, I mean, yeah, that's not something. I mean if that's in a whole house, yeah, it's gonna affect everything.
Yeah. And my father was like super successful before he moved there, and then everything bad financially happened in that place.
It was just like, oh my god, yeah, have you are you a psychic person? Like do you ever go to psychics or any of that.
I haven't in a super super long time, but I did go see a psychic in I was doing a movie in Vancouver with Toni Collette and.
Oh wait, I know what it is. It was shit, what's the one with the drag queens and the Connie and Carla Connie and Carla. Oh my god, I love the So.
Chinese is like a real introvert, you know, and she's like and I was raised by a rage of Hollick, so I know how to read the room. So when I'd see her in the makeup chair in the morning, everything about her body language and her bible was leave me alone, I'm getting ready. On the set she was kind of like quiet and everything, and then she turned
it on for action. So I stayed out of her face. Okay, we're working together two three weeks and she comes up to me and she goes, listen, I'm going to Vancouver Island for the weekend to see a psychic with my assistant. Do you want to come with me? And I said yes, you know, this is like the first conversation we had. So we take the ferry to Vancouver Island. She's really quiet.
We just have a nice, super chill time. We drive out in Vancouver Island to the forest side and there's this little antique shop and we went into the back and there was a little old lady back there and she talked like this, she kind of had a Midwestern accent, and she shuffled some cards. She did a terrort card throw for me, and she goes, well, you're a different kind of fella. And I'm like, well, you don't have
to be psychic to see that. And she said, you lived a very adult life at a very young age, and this was very worrisome to your mother, who's no longer with us. Am I right? And I was like yes, like all of that was completely accurate. And she said I was going to marry a tall guy who looked like a dancer who was tall and then to look like a dancer. She said, I was gonna and at this time I had no money. She said, you're gonna buy a house, but you're not going to live in it.
And then the second house you buy is so beautiful and you're just gonna love it and love being in it. A little less than two years later, I wanted to buy a house in la I was on a television series and I was like, the minute I get a series, I'm putting all of that money into a house. That's just that's what I've been waiting for. And my aunt, who was a real turn in Vegas, said, you don't have the credit history to do it. You don't have the you don't have the credit history to do it.
You're nobody's going to finance you. But if you buy a house with me in Vegas as an investment, I'll help you fix your credit and all of a sudden, you'll be able to get any loan that you want. So I did that, and that's exactly how I ended up buying this house. I got the financing immediately, and then I moved into this house. So she predicted that i'd buy a house first that I didn't live in, and I was like, that's ridiculous, but that's I ended
up doing that. I married Jamie, who's tall and skinny. It looks like a dancer, So that was pretty cool.
I mean, she she obviously did she go to the psychic before, did she have like a recommendation or that's kind of a.
She had a recommendation from somebody in Vancouver. I guess she believes in all that stuff. And she went into her reading first and then I went in next. It was really a sweet little lady. I mean, she looked like Angela Lansbury. And I told her, how did you know that you knew how to do this stuff? And she goes, I was a teller at she goes. I always knew as a kid whether or not somebody was
telling the truth. But when I was a teller at a bank, if somebody was trying to cash a shitty check, I'd hear a bell, I'd hear an actual bell in my head, and I would take it to the manager and I say, can you take a look at this? And I was pretty she goes, and she was right every single time about the check not being any good. Wow.
Yeah, do you think that you have any like psychic y kind of Well, I.
Think that there's you know, I think it's like radio signals. You know, it's like you know, a radio, this piece of metal and wires can pick up signals from everything, I mean, what more of human beings. And I think you either have the ability to tune into that or not.
And I think psychics have the ability to tune into those frequencies and tune into different time frames because you know, Einstein says that we're the only people experiencing time linearly and their actual reality is all of time is happening at once, like on this is us. You know, it's just like the past, president, future are always present. You know, it's all happening at once. And I think psychics are able to tune into that frequency. Having said that, not really I know when my kid is lying.
Yeah, well see, I have a belief that like particularly performer, like live performer types, you kind of have to have that because you're you're you have to read a room. You have to, right, you have you have a version of that. I think even as a comic, you have to read the room.
You have to read the energy of the room and kind of make yourself compatible with that and line up with it. I mean, there's no the object. The reality is there's no there's no separation in subjective communication. All Right. You and I could be talking like this, Hi, how are you? What's going on? But if something's going on with you and you're really pissed about something, something in me is going to go something's up with her. I don't know what it is, but are you okay?
You know a lot of people don't have that though, a lot of people can't pick up on that.
Well, those are people who can't read social cues. Yeah, yeah, I mean, and there are people who don't I mean, and there are also people on the spectrum who can't read pick up on social cues. Sure, And then there are just people who are socially dumb, who like read the room. You know, I can read the room. But that's that's from my upbringing, you know.
Yeah, Oh my god, I can't believe we got a celebrity a Tony Collette story. We have not gotten a story which, Yeah, have you seen Hereditary?
She's amazing in that. I don't know why she doesn't have an oscar. She's just kind of she's great. I mean she'll just like before action, she's just kind of like quiet and they'll action, and she's in three invested in whatever is happening.
I also don't think that most people realize that she's Australian.
I forgot she does a really good American accent, and then she was one day she was like, came into the restroom, she goes, my husband died, had a geek in Sydney, And I was like, what's with the accent?
Do you want to hear some ghost voices? Yes, okay, it's time for EVP or evlice. Do you know what an EVP is? No, okay, and EVP like when you watch ghost hunting shows, it's electronic voice phenomena. It's a ghost hunting thing. It's basically a recorded ghost voice what people believe to be as.
Like they're hearing it in the physical space. Yes.
Now, if you go to YouTube, there's like thousands of people that are ghost hunters, the amateur ghost under whatever. They find what they believe to be EVPs, and they say what they believe that the ghost is saying. And I have my guests tell me what they hear and I'll give you some options of what the ghost hunter says. Okay, So this first one is from someone on YouTube named Joe Hester and it is an Oak Island, North Carolina.
Here we go. Okay, it's a lot of background noise, but you have to tune into like.
That was so fa.
I know it is fast. Let's hit again.
It sounds like a whisper license. Greg.
Yeah, I'll give you some options. Is it a Walmart is bad? B? What could do that? See? Why are you mad? Or d one little snack? Like maybe you're walking down that Oh that's one little snack right there?
Wait, I honestly can't hear a thing.
I know it's really hard. Okay, they believe that it says what could do that? I think it says Walmart is bad? But here we go. I'll play it again with that knowledge. What could do that? Tell me? I be here?
I heard that here the very last part.
Okay, Well, here's what I'll do. I'll do one more. This one I think is easier. Maybe. This was posted by saraphim e vps on YouTube. It's at the Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City, Iowa, which is where they have this famous black angel statue that's like a big black angel and it's people say it's cursed and if you kiss it, you die unless you're a version. It's like all these things like there's like all this lore surrounding this scary angel black angel statue. Yeah yeah, yeah, So
what is this voice saying? I think again?
Yeah, I hear, I don't know about nothing audibly like.
Yeah, it sounds like house track?
Now what is it? Okay?
What is it? A Jessica beeal? B? What's the deal?
Ce?
Is this real? Or d a piggy squeal?
I'm gonna go with Jessica bill.
It's is this reel? Which is? I think it sounds a lot like Okay, let's do it again. Yeah, totally, Okay, let's do one more thing. I'm gonna play unexplained. I'm gonna say a bunch of unexplained phenomena and just kind of rapid fire throw at you and just tell me, like in short little segments or maybe you'll have a story. I don't know how you feel about it? Is it real? What's what's your thoughts? Okay, here we go, UFOs, what do you think real?
Well? I mean, how could we be the only planet in the universe with intelligent life. That's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Yeah, so yeah, absolutely. In fact, there's a lot of stuff. There's a lot of UFO phenomena in the Philippines. There's a town outside of Manila, two hours outside where all of people in the village report like and they say it's a mass hallucination. But it's very famous, this place called Mont Banahau where there's a lot of UFO and
supernatural activity. But they said there was lights over the fields out in the middle of nowhere the size of the football field.
Oh my god, I could.
Shine on and everybody saw it. They said it was like being at a stadium that night.
Whoa. What about Bigfoot?
And I don't believe in Bigfoot?
Why I just whatever, just like.
It's I would like Harry and the Henderson's type Bigfoot, I would I want Bigfoot to be true?
Yeah?
What about just like I wought Lockness Monster to be true, like there could be like you know, but it's like it would be great if Lockedest Monster true, Like it was just some leftover dinosaur in Scotland someplaces it's just.
Like still existing.
Yeah.
What about possession.
True? Yeah? I think an energy can take over somebody. You know. I told that story about my my dad's nanny who would go rigid and speak in tongues. Sure, that's yeah, I think that's real.
Okay, some more unexplained phenomena, What about wee TI board? Do you think that it's contacting the dead?
You know what? I was like so terrified of those because as a kid, as because of the Exorcist, remember Cat and Howdie and earlier. Yeah, and so I never I have never touched one. I won't go near it because I think it's real. I think it's I think it's kind of like, I think it's real. I think it's like that channel that you can tap into, like you know, like a radio. But I don't want to
bug anybody. I'm really cognizant of. Like, I don't want to bug anybody, And I don't want to invite anybody who's on pleasant into my own, you know, because then what if I can't get rid of them totally?
Last unexplained phenomena, are you my mommy?
Yes, mommy mommy, I mean mammy, I'm my own mommy.
Well, Alex, that's it. That's that's I.
Believe in everything. I believe in everything because.
It's kind of after love.
Yes, yeah, because it's our senses are so limited by what we see and by what we hear and by what we taste. I mean, that's just kind of like it's a very limited sensory thing. I think it's like if you just rely on what you can see and hear with your own eyes, it's it's there. It's there's a there. It's a multi dimensional reality, is what I'm saying. And I think that there are things that exist in other dimensions that we don't see, you know. And that's
science too. There are radio waves we can't see, there are gas energy we can't see, you know, it's all it's all part of science.
Well, and I think there's a lot of things that we probably will never know. And isn't that like I think we should just be okay with that.
Contemplating the mystery. That's fun, that's the fun. Fun. It's fun. It's just and it's spooky and it's fun and everybody everybody's curious about it, whether or not you believe in it. I think it's a I think it's a very entertaining, diverting fascination.
