• 1:52
  SPEAKER_07: I was just uh it was just a yucky feeling.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_07: And so, and the further I got into the house, it just didn't feel feel good.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_07: And so I thought, it's just you, it's just you, you know.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_07: And uh so I waited for the people to get there.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_07: And when they walked in, they felt the same thing.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_07: And so uh they were like, We don't wanna, we don't wanna go any further, and we're ready to go.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_07: And I said, Me too.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_04: What did you feel?
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_07: What what was it was just like there was just a heaviness.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_07: I was just a heaviness.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_07: Did you even walk through the house?
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_07: I went up, oh I started turning on lights, and I kept thinking, Oh, Lisa.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_07: And the further I got into it, you know, it was just that heavy, and I was just like, maybe I got up on the wrong side of the bed, whatever.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_07: Right, yeah, right.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_07: And now, I mean, as a Christian, there's demonic things out there.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_07: No, I was just gonna say that.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_07: And so I was like, okay, but you know, God gave us that discernment for a reason, and so we gotta use it.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_07: And so anyway, I thought, well, get that second, you know.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_07: And they came in and they were like, mm, no.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_07: That's wild.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_07: That they felt it too.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_07: The only time that ever really happened was at that, at that house.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_07: And I remember the house.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_06: And I wonder, you know, you wonder like what happened there.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_06: Because you can feel stuff like that.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_07: You do, you wonder.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_07: I mean, it was it's an older home.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_07: Um, probably, I bet it was close to a hundred years old.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_07: So you don't know what is gone on.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_07: Stories, right?
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_06: And you also don't know what's could be buried underneath there, guys.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_06: Like that.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_06: My parents' house is built on an old Native American burial ground.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_06: Wow.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_06: And now my mom audit garner.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, uh-huh, yeah.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_06: And my mom has seen several things walking in the night.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_06: And she I know I'm laughing because you guys like she's always seen stuff.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_06: So this is why I'm so into this too, because I've been like raised like this.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_06: I do not open my eyes to it.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_06: I'm too scared.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_07: No, you close that out.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_04: She's like, I'm out of this conversation.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not there.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_07: No, I'm no.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_07: Would I do I go and look for that?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_07: No, but do I have the sense to turn around and walk away?
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_04: People that that have they're not true mediums, but there are people that have that sensory about them that they can feel that other plane of existence.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_04: And, you know, that's when again, so I'll dive a little bit.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_04: When I was younger, we lived in a house, my parents got divorced, a lot of just bad energy.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_04: Well, we had found that the house we bought, this was out in Indiana, that a 98-year-old man had passed away, he had a heart attack on the living room floor and he died in the home, right?
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I don't want to know that stuff.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_04: I'm a kid, I don't want to know that crap, right?
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_04: Well, when the divorce happened and all that negativity and all that stuff was happening, it started rearing its head.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_04: He was fine with the loving family that was living there, apparently, but then with all this negativity, he started becoming known.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_04: Oh so, and I started freaking out and told my mom, like, I'm scared, I don't want to be here anymore, right?
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_04: And she's like, Look, if you just go into your room and say, This is my room, don't come in here.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they will not bother you if they're a friendly entity, right?
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_04: And and the problem was, or not the problem, I guess the problem, my bedroom was the full depth of the house, front to back, ranch style home, front to back.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_04: And then you had to go through my room to get to the garage.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_04: It was kind of like a bonus room type thing, but I turned it into my bedroom.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_04: And so apparently it would stay in the garage.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_04: And because I said it stayed in the garage, it wouldn't come in the rest of the house because I created a barrier for it.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_07: But I would say my parents my home in the name of Jesus, and you are not welcome.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_07: That is all demons flee in the name of Jesus.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_04: And so I don't want to tell too much, but my mom, when they got divorced, she low the kids because she was afraid she's gonna lose us and other kids.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_04: So she let all the kids for all her friends come over to the house and stuff.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_04: My sisters were older.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_04: Right, right.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_04: Well, one of one of my sister's friends, this guy had injured his hand at work really bad that day.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, like we was killing him there, and they were at the house, and I was gone.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_04: I was out, I think, out here visiting my grandparents in Illinois at the time.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_04: So he was free in the whole house, right?
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_04: And so they were sitting there, and they were sitting like we are in a circle right now, and my sister saw that his face kind of changed part way, and then it just went through him, and all the pain was gone out of his hand.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_04: It was just really weird.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_04: I just got goosebumps.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, so anyway, that's the type of stuff.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_04: So I am in tune to the stuff that's a good one.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_03: Well, maybe he was an angel.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_04: So so I'm in tune to that type of stuff, and I agree with the stuff.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_04: I've been around some negative crap that I'm like, stay away.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_07: Stay away, yeah.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_07: And so because the Bible says don't mess in that.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_07: Don't mess in any of that.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_07: Oh no.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_04: So when I when I when you know as a kid, they always had the Ouija boards and stuff like that.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_04: And mom's like, don't mess with that stuff.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_04: Why is it in the house?
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_04: Get it out of here, blah, blah, blah.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_04: My sister's a bull.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, oh, look at this stuff.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_07: No way.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_07: I did it all the time.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_07: Stay all away.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_07: I'm not asking for nothing.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_07: We did it all the time when we were little.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_07: No, I'm a weenie.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_07: I'm you're a weenie.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_04: So, and here's the thing, though, when I got married, right?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_04: And had my new wife come to the house.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_04: I live in a house that's 139 years old.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_04: It was built by my great-great-grandfather.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_04: It's seen some things.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_04: The front parlor of the house is where you would have the casket if you have a death in the family, right?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_04: That's right.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_06: They put it like on the kitchen table, wouldn't they?
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_04: No, nothing.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_04: Not this house.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_04: It has a separate parallel.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay, okay.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_04: So if you come in the front, big part, you're right to the parlor that's separated from the rest of the house.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_04: Anyway.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_04: So, but yeah, so I, you know, make sure, but my house is very comfortable and and there's nothing, there's no feelings or anything like that.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_04: And this, it's just I can feel that, and you obviously can feel that too.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_04: And you're like, I'm out.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_04: Lydia's like, I'm out.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_06: I don't do good with this stuff.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_06: Well, what about this recent movie?
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_06: I just want to ask, like, and I can't even remember what it's called, but it has Amanda that Amanda's cipher.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, with Sydney's house.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_06: No?
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, no, but that's really good.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_03: That's really good.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_06: That was so good.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_06: And they're made, I guess they're making a second one.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_06: But so her and the husband, they get shown the house.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_06: He loves it.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_06: It's up on a hill.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_04: So it does involve real estate.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_04: I love it.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_04: Let's make sure we're still there.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_06: It doesn't involve real estate.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_06: I don't watch scary movies.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_06: And maybe it is called The House on the I don't know.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_06: We're gonna have to Google it, but it's it's fairly new.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_06: So they they the realtor takes them to the house, you know, just talks it up.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_06: Beautiful home, beautiful home.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_06: She's walking through.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, you can tell the realtor knows something though about the house.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_06: The history, right?
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but the husband, you know, like a typical husband, he's not even caring.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_06: He's I love this house.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_06: Look at this fireplace, look at this mantle, look, baby.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_04: That's awesome.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_04: You're great.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_04: I love it.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_04: Just checking.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_06: And then the wife, you know, she's looking around, she's she's liking how it looks.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_06: It's an old, older house with craftsmith style.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_06: And um she's kind of getting something off, but she goes with it for the husband.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_06: First couple days, things are fine.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_06: Are you trying to find it?
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_06: House tour or house on the hill.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_06: House on the hill, I think it is.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, so a few days.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_06: Well, she's washing the dishes, and all of a sudden her ring is gone off of her hand.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, so she's looking, she reaches down into the it turns on.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's yuck.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_06: Nothing happened.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_06: She got it out right before.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, so little things like this are starting to happen with the ghost.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_06: I'm not gonna give the whole thing away, but things that she tries to call the realtor.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_06: Okay, please, the realtor's like, you know, not answering.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_06: She tracks her down in the town.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_06: What is this house going on?
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_06: It turns out, I mean, I I don't want to give away too much, but if in case you want to watch it, but there was a wife, a husband and wife that had lived there, and the husband had abused the wife for years and years and years.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_06: So ended up killing her.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_06: The husband I think he killed himself or died or whatever.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_06: So, in fact, the couple that moved into the house, the husband was abusive as well.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_06: So, this ghost was actually trying to help and protect the woman.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_07: There you go.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_07: Well, here's so sci-fi or real, right?
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, versus so to me, you would pray.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_07: I you should bless your home.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_07: Right.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_07: You should pray over your home.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_07: And you should, I mean, I I walk through my house a bajillion times.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_07: Raise your kids, pray over those kids, pray over those rooms, anoint those doorways.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_07: Yes, all my all my doorways are have a cross.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah, you don't want any of that.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_07: Uh-uh.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_04: As long as you don't go home and they're upside down.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_06: Dude, I swear to you, and I I'm not even kidding.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_07: Oh my gosh.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_07: No.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_06: I we're not doing any of that.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_06: No.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_06: But I I'm serious.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_06: And I do think that people should, when they're getting shown a house, I think they should slow down a little bit.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_04: If if if they're if they're in tune to it, worry about it.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_04: So like Lydia doesn't want to have anything to do with that.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_04: She doesn't think about it.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_04: So she doesn't, it's it's it's it's she's not in tune with it.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_04: It's out of her.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_07: But I think I think she she's never hit that.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_07: I think if she if she felt that she would say something's off with this house, right?
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_07: She'd probably call me and she'd say, something like that.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_07: But but that's one of those things that if the person says they want to leave, then you go on and share that with the listing agent, or you just say they weren't interested.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_07: They weren't interested.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_07: Okay.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_07: I didn't know if I mean because if it's something like House on the Hill that's been on the market Mexican last night, and we, you know, we just felt nothing.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_07: And so anyway.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_07: And so so you don't want to bring things that maybe isn't there.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_07: So yeah.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_04: All right, cool.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_04: Well, hey, on the on the flip of that, right?
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_04: Ghosts, all I so the big thing with that is like either believe or you don't.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_04: And if you believe in the Holy Ghost and all, then you're taking the Holy Ghost.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_04: But what I mean is that means if there's a Holy Ghost and you believe in the Holy Ghost, there's others.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_04: That's just putting that out there.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_04: So anyway.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_04: Well, that's what I mean.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_04: I've I've had I've had discussions with family members like I don't believe in ghosts.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_04: Well, do you believe in Holy Ghost?
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_04: Well, yes.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_04: In the Holy Spirit?
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_04: Well, then there's other ghosts as well.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_04: So, well, anyway, long distance.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_04: Okay.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_04: So funny stuff.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_04: So funny stuff is showing.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_04: Have you had anything like, uh huh, like they open a closet door and like there's like a mannequin, you know, or well, taxidermy.
• 12:18
