  Halloween is coming up yes and in mexico it's dia de los muertos yeah november
• 0:37
  2nd and and uh so on that holiday what do you do there's a uh,
• 0:46
  well we go to the cemetery to honor our dead.
• 0:51
  And some families like to stay and sleep. Well, they don't really sleep,
• 0:58
  but they're in the cemetery the entire night.
• 1:04
  They bring food and, you know, candles.
• 1:09
  It's like a party with the dead. The party with the dead, yes.
• 1:12
  But then you go, my mom used to tell me.
• 1:14
  You clean the grave. You clean the grave. And you put flowers.
• 1:17
  And you bring food for them and whatever their favorite drink is or whatever.
• 1:22
  Yeah. And you like pour the whiskey on the grave or whatever.
• 1:25
  Yeah, and they, well, tequila.
• 1:27
  Tequila, I mean. Of course it's tequila. I know.
• 1:31
  And my mom said she used to go, I don't know if they went into a cemetery,
• 1:38
  but she said that people were waiting, like crying for their death. Oh.
• 1:44
  They also put... Because we're very melodramatic. because of people. Ay, no, que diga chica.
• 1:50
  No, no, no. Now we sound Puerto Rican. I know, right?
• 1:54
  But we are so melodramatic. Yeah, we're very novelanate, you know?
• 1:59
  So I was thinking, since Day of the Dead, you honor the dead.
• 2:05
  Halloween, all that spooky stuff is coming up. So I was thinking about,
• 2:08
  um, talking about, um, our dead, the people who passed in our lives that we
• 2:14
  know, like, um, our grandmothers, grandmothers.
• 2:18
  And, oh yeah. Our grandmothers.
• 2:21
  Yeah. I have a freaky grandmother. I had a freaky grandmother.
• 2:24
  She was telepathic and I'm not just saying that bitch was telepathic. She, um.
• 2:32
  She was very close to my father, and she had to remarry because her first husband died.
• 2:40
  So when she remarried, she had daughters. And the new husband thought of my
• 2:45
  father as a bastard child and made him sleep outside. Like Cinderella.
• 2:49
  Just like Cinderella. Only he was a male version. Cinderella.
• 2:54
  And my grandmother and him were very tight, and they communicated to each other
• 2:58
  telepathically. And I saw evidence of this many times when I was a child because,
• 3:05
  she would call like a phone call. She didn't have a phone.
• 3:08
  She lived in a town with five houses, only five houses in the entire town.
• 3:14
  And there were no cell phones. Yeah, but they didn't even have landlines.
• 3:19
  They had no phones at all.
• 3:20
  Yeah, because there were only five houses in that community.
• 3:26
  Mountain Bell, which was the only phone company at the time,
• 3:28
  decided not to run lines to their houses. So Mountain Bell ran all the way into
• 3:33
  Mexico? I didn't know that.
• 3:35
  Mountain Bell. No, it was in Paltzburg.
• 3:38
  Paltzburg, Arizona. Okay. They lived in Arizona.
• 3:41
  It was Mexico. No, it was Mountain Bell. I remember everything was Mountain Bell.
• 3:45
  So anyway, she would send him messages like, I'm coming to visit you. I'm 20 minutes away.
• 3:53
  And he would tell us. like yeah she just she just told me she's you know she's
• 3:57
  20 minutes away or you know she just told me she's driving up the neighborhood
• 4:01
  street and there she would be and we would be like what and and i remember that's freaky yeah,
• 4:07
  yeah once um my mother was uh pregnant and uh i was i was still a baby um but
• 4:16
  this is the this is what i was told um,
• 4:19
  We lived in Arizona, and it was an extremely hot summer.
• 4:24
  We were on our way to visit my grandmother, and the car broke down.
• 4:31
  And because it's a two-and-a-half-hour drive or something like that to her place,
• 4:37
  we didn't really have any supplies or anything like that. But the car broke
• 4:41
  down in the middle of the desert, and no water.
• 4:43
  My mother was eight months pregnant. She was huge.
• 4:48
  And they were really worried because there was nobody had driven by and they
• 4:53
  were stranded out in the middle of the desert and she was really pregnant and,
• 4:59
  yeah and then and my mom said that my my dad and my sisters told me too because
• 5:04
  they saw this that he sat down,
• 5:07
  you know that my mom was in a panic you know what are we gonna do what are we
• 5:10
  and and my dad just sat down and he just started rubbing his temples and he
• 5:14
  just started rocking back and forth.
• 5:17
  And my mom was like, what are you doing? You know, like, we've got to,
• 5:20
  like, you got to go to walk, find someplace with that to, to call for help.
• 5:24
  Yeah. Like, and he was just sitting there rubbing his temples.
• 5:28
  And then he was like, um, and then he told her that my mom's going to be here. Don't worry.
• 5:33
  And sure enough, like 20 minutes later, she pulled up and now she pulled up
• 5:38
  and she had water and food and everything for everybody and she knew exactly
• 5:42
  where they were. And then...
• 5:47
  So, she was having tests done in the hospital.
• 5:52
  And back in the day, they would run this liquid through your veins and take
• 5:58
  a, somehow, like a radioactive liquid or something. Yeah, that's happened to me.
• 6:01
  Yeah. I've done that. Really? Well, there were complications.
• 6:05
  But, so, we were at home. And I guess they didn't know there were complications.
• 6:11
  I didn't know how it worked. But I remember, because I was only like five years
• 6:14
  old, six years old, maybe. Oh.
• 6:16
  And, um, but I remember waking up and, uh, there was this screaming,
• 6:24
  the sound of screaming, ah, ah, and we went, it was coming from my parents' room.
• 6:31
  So all the kids, there was five of us, we went running into my parents' room.
• 6:35
  Like, you know, and my dad was kneeling on the bed. He was in the middle of
• 6:39
  the bed and he was screaming towards the sky.
• 6:42
  Ah, ah.
• 6:46
  Just screaming. And we were like, what's, you know, he was, we couldn't reach
• 6:50
  him. We couldn't get him to stop. We couldn't, he was just screaming.
• 6:53
  It was really scary. Like in a trance. Yeah, he was just, and then the phone rang.
• 7:00
  And my mom picked up the phone, and it was the hospital calling to tell us that
• 7:05
  our grandmother had just died.
• 7:07
  Oy, I got chills. And he was— Oy. Yeah. And it was—now, you have to understand,
• 7:13
  before this, my dad used to read bedtime stories to us, and he was more playful and stuff.
• 7:20
  From that day on, he shut down. Yeah.
• 7:25
  He didn't speak to us anymore. He became very angry all the time.
• 7:32
  He became very depressed. He started drinking heavily.
• 7:36
  And he basically turned into a monster because she was his whole world.
• 7:43
  And she wrote a book, a big, thick book about mental telepathy, my grandmother did.
• 7:51
  Handwritten. And it was thick. We're talking like three inches thick. It was a giant book.
• 7:57
  And she'd been writing it her whole life. We went looking for it,
• 8:01
  and it vanished. We couldn't find it anywhere in her house.
• 8:05
  It was just gone.
• 8:08
  I don't think so. Yeah, because when I brought it up to them,
• 8:11
  they didn't know. They didn't know about it?
• 8:14
  No, no. And they didn't even know about the pentagram in her bedroom under the
• 8:20
  carpet. I remember you telling me about that.
• 8:22
  Yeah, they didn't even know about that. And they were her own kids.
• 8:25
  And I was a grandkid who just visited.
• 8:28
  And I even knew that she had a big pentagram. Yeah, the human nosey.
• 8:31
  Yeah. I remember waking up one morning.
• 8:35
  And really early, the sun was just rising, and she was in the back of the house,
• 8:42
  because there were open fields.
• 8:44
  There was no fencing, because there was only five houses. Yeah.
• 8:48
  And she was back there, and she was holding a chicken's head,
• 8:51
  and she was splattering the blood from the chicken's head all over the house.
• 8:56
  And she was chanting in some weird language. I've never heard. Just this weird.
• 9:04
  And she was chanting like that and she was splattering blood around the house
• 9:07
  and here's something really bizarre,
• 9:11
  my grandmother's house was at the base of a mountain the mountain was being
• 9:17
  mined for limestone lime well lime that they make you know concrete out of um,
• 9:26
  And so what happens when you're mining lime is it creates this gray dust that
• 9:31
  coats everything around the mine for miles.
• 9:35
  And so the five houses and their yards and the land, it was surrounded,
• 9:42
  was all coated. Nothing grew.
• 9:44
  Yeah, a wild grass grew and it grew and it looked gray.
• 9:50
  And the trees were all covered in gray and they almost always had no leaves.
• 9:54
  It was a really harsh environment. It was barren.
• 9:58
  It looked like sad snow. Imagine snow, but the snow is gray.
• 10:04
  And instead of it being fluffy, it looked like talc powder, but it was gray.
• 10:09
  And it coated everything. And so there was no vegetation.
• 10:14
  But my grandmother's house, I kid you not, the walk up to her house.
• 10:20
  You'd walk through these archways, 10 feet long.
• 10:24
  And they were arched walkways, and they had these gorgeous grapes hanging from
• 10:29
  them, just from the vine, the vines.
• 10:32
  And then the whole front of the house had flowers and rose bushes,
• 10:36
  and it was this gorgeous, immaculate garden. So, nothing of the lime stuff,
• 10:40
  that plants, or anything? No, no, no, no.
• 10:46
  And she grew fruits and vegetables, and every—girl, You would walk outside beyond,
• 10:52
  her garden, and it looked like a moonscape of gray snow.
• 10:58
  But her garden all the way around her house was green and lush,
• 11:03
  and there was no powder anywhere.
• 11:04
  There was no—and, yeah.
• 11:07
  That's nuts. And after she died about—I'm wanting to say about 10 years after
• 11:12
  she died, my mother and I drove back to visit the house, because there was only
• 11:17
  five houses. It was a tiny town.
• 11:20
  The town wasn't even on the map forever.
• 11:23
  That's tiny. Yeah. So we went, and the thing that happens with any mine is that
• 11:29
  they ended up mining all of the limestone from the mountain.
• 11:34
  So the mountain was gone. It was now just a flat hill.
• 11:39
  It went from literally being a mountain to a flat hill, and so it was gone.
• 11:43
  So the mine was gone, everything was closed up, and the houses had all been
• 11:47
  demolished, and they were gone.
• 11:48
  And the only thing left were the five concrete.
• 11:55
  Slabs where the houses were, and everything was still covered in that dust.
• 12:00
  Everything was still dead. Everything was gray.
• 12:03
  And the concrete slab where my grandmother's house was in the center was growing
• 12:09
  out of the concrete a tulip.
• 12:12
  A bright, bright orange tulip was growing right out of the concrete.
• 12:16
  And it was the only color for like a mile. I don't.
• 12:19
  It was so bizarre. That's bizarre. You guys, it was bizarre.
• 12:23
  Yeah. So she was very much into Wicca or the arts.
• 12:29
  They didn't really call it that because she was Mexican. So they didn't.
• 12:34
  It was more just. She was like.
• 12:37
  She was into Santeria.
• 12:40
  Santeria. And yeah. And yeah. It was pre-Christian stuff. It was stuff that
• 12:43
  they did before the Catholics came in and turned everybody into Catholics.
• 12:50
  They used to have their own spirituality and their own religion, and that's what she did.
• 12:55
  But she was, you have an interesting relative as well that your family doesn't like to discuss.
• 13:02
  They only whisper his name from your past. Oh, but he wasn't a witch.
• 13:08
  He wasn't a witch, but he had an interesting life.
• 13:12
  He
• 13:17
  Assassinated the president in Mexico at the time.
• 13:23
  I think his name was Obregón.
• 13:27
  And hopefully Mexico doesn't come up to me for this.
• 13:31
  Yeah. But for years, your family wouldn't even mention his name.
• 13:35
  No, they would say it in secret.
• 13:39
  They would talk. The uncle. The uncle. Yeah, the deal. The great. Yeah.
• 13:44
  And I don't even know his name. Oh, wait, I think it was.
• 13:48
  I have it written down. Jose something.
• 13:52
  I wrote it down. I have it written down. It's in the book. I forgot.
• 13:54
  It's in the book. But it's fascinating.
• 13:58
  He was fighting for the church, actually, which was weird, because he was helping
• 14:04
  out the nun that was in charge of the nun. Yes.
• 14:09
  At the time, the Native people in Mexico suddenly had an awakening where they
• 14:17
  were just like, why are we Catholic? Yeah, they created a movement.
• 14:21
  Yeah, because it was like, this is not what our people are.
• 14:25
  We are Native people. with our own religion, our own spirituality.
• 14:28
  And all of a sudden, all of these Catholic cathedrals are being built everywhere,
• 14:32
  and now we're Catholic, and that's a Western religion.
• 14:35
  It's not ours. And this was later, because the Spaniards built their churches
• 14:44
  over a lot of the temples that exist in the Catholics, the Mayans.
• 14:51
  And they covered them. They covered them all. Yeah, probably as a statement,
• 14:55
  this is your new religion.
• 14:56
  They also destroyed all of the literature or the records that had been kept,
• 15:02
  and all of the ceremonial stuff that had to do with the spirituality and the history.
• 15:08
  They destroyed a lot of it. They destroyed it, and they imposed the Catholic
• 15:14
  religion on the Native Americans.
• 15:17
  I mean, they weren't Americans back then, they were Natives.
• 15:20
  And he wasn't an uncle. He was like a great uncle, we'll say.
• 15:24
  Well, for me, yeah, he would have been a great, great, great,
• 15:26
  great uncle or something.
• 15:28
  He was very Catholic. And at that time, the natives had gained political influence. Right.
• 15:36
  And they were successful at starting to remove the influence of the Catholic
• 15:44
  Church from Mexico and actually shutting down some of the,
• 15:50
  cathedrals, I guess, or the organizations that were Catholic. And.
• 15:56
  There was a nun who was very outspoken about it because she was a nun and she
• 16:03
  believed in the Catholicism.
• 16:05
  And she—so she was very outspoken, and he was an avid fan of hers. Yeah.
• 16:11
  He loved her. He was a big follower. He was very influenced by her.
• 16:14
  Oh, yeah. And so it's believed that he listened to her. Yeah.
• 16:20
  And that he followed her so intensely that he took it upon himself to.
• 16:29
  Assassinate the president who at the time was supporting the anti-Catholic rhetoric
• 16:35
  of, like, we should go back to our native spirituality. Isn't that crazy?
• 16:40
  Yeah. And he was, from what I remember the story, he went to protect the church.
• 16:46
  And I believe that he was shot in the church. No. Did you do that? No.
• 16:54
  So what happened was, because I read about it, he went to— Crazy.
• 16:58
  Yeah. In the history books.
• 17:00
  You have family lore. Well, they probably didn't spend a lot of time actually,
• 17:06
  putting the facts together.
• 17:08
  Right. Because they were trying. They were hiding from him. Because it must
• 17:11
  have been—I mean, talk about a black-listed person.
• 17:14
  Um, you know, I mean, he, so because he's a presidential assassin,
• 17:21
  I mean, there's very few of those in the world and he, um, and he's in your family, but yeah.
• 17:29
  So he, so the president was at party.
• 17:32
  I believe he got entrance to the party. I don't know if he was working there
• 17:36
  or if he got, but somehow he got entrance to the party.
• 17:39
  He took a firearm, and as soon as he had a chance, he shot the president and killed him.
• 17:47
  And here's an interesting thing.
• 17:50
  We've got more about this than I do. Yeah, because he did it to protect the Catholic Church.
• 17:56
  So because there were so many Catholic supporters,
• 18:02
  in the closet, so to speak, they ended up, when they autopsied the president's
• 18:08
  body, they found bullets from other weapons in him, not just his.
• 18:14
  So what's believed is that people went up after the president was dead and laying
• 18:18
  on the floor and just started firing their guns into him as well,
• 18:22
  like to say, you know, how dare you go against our Catholic church?
• 18:25
  Yeah, that's a lot of power, the church fat. And when he was,
• 18:31
  When.
• 18:34
  He was then executed for this crime, and his body, as it went down the street,
• 18:41
  tens of thousands of Catholic supporters filled the streets to cheer for him.
• 18:49
  Because he was a hero to them. Oh, God, I have chills. Yeah.
• 18:54
  But for those of us who do not support,
• 19:01
  that ideology and who are hungry for a return to our native ways,
• 19:06
  as opposed to the Western imposition,
• 19:11
  he was not a hero. Yeah. You know, he was a sucker.
• 19:15
  Yeah. You know, who fell for the rhetoric. Okay. And I'm sure a lot of people
• 19:20
  are going to be upset about this, but you know,
• 19:23
  I think the Catholic Church has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt its corruption and its fallibility.
• 19:32
  It is not an organization. I say this wholeheartedly with my entire intellect.
• 19:38
  I don't support it. I don't want to have anything to do with it, and I don't like it.
• 19:42
  I mean, not to delve more into it, but I guess I'm going to.
• 19:46
  I mean, look at all the, sorry, the priests that were. Oh, yeah.
• 19:52
  Yeah. And there's just so much. A lot of horrible things. A lot of horrible.
• 19:56
  More people die in the name of religion than any other cause.
• 19:59
  It's just these organized religions have got to go. We have to go back to simplicity.
• 20:03
  That's what I say anyway.
• 20:04
  But. And then my grandma was also. Oh, yeah.
• 20:09
  Reading the cart. But it wasn't Carol. It was the 52 deck.
• 20:14
  Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard of it, yeah. Yeah, she would read the
• 20:17
  cards to the people in her neighborhood in Kamala, also where your dad's from. Mm-hmm. Weird.
• 20:25
  And my dad always said, you know, the stuff would come true.
• 20:29
  Yeah. Oh, yeah. It would come true.
• 20:32
  It does. I mean, both of our families have card reading in their history.
• 20:36
  Yeah. A lot of card reading, which is why we also read cards.
• 20:40
  And also, we both have, I mean, we both have had our family lives early on were
• 20:47
  wrapped up in heavy duty in religion.
• 20:50
  We were very Catholic, and you guys were Mormon. Yeah.
• 20:54
  So, it's just like, no thanks. Yeah.
• 20:58
  No thanks. Our religion is spirituality. Yeah. And love.
• 21:03
  Love. Yeah. You don't, I don't think there's such a thing as a person who has
• 21:08
  a more direct contact, a more direct line with spirit, whatever that is up there.
• 21:14
  You know, this idea that you have to go to a confessional to talk to someone
• 21:17
  who has like a direct phone line to the boss is like, no, no.
• 21:22
  No one is closer than you are. Exactly. Come on, you guys. Come on.
• 21:25
  It's an internal thing that we have in our soul and spirit. The last I checked,
• 21:31
  the Lord our God was not handing out licensing to specific people to represent Him.
• 21:36
  Yeah. You know? But that's our opinion. Yeah.
• 21:40
  And I don't even know if it's the Lord our God. It could be the Lord our goddess. It's true.
• 21:45
  There's an entity. There's an energy. Let's say there's an energy.
• 21:49
  And then let's just leave it at that. Because we really don't know what it is,
• 21:52
  so let's stop trying to pretend like we know exactly what's going on up there,
• 21:55
  or down there, or wherever you're at, you know? Up there, down there, all around us.
• 22:01
  Yeah, but the, yeah, Carol reading, it was really, oh, this was interesting.
• 22:06
  I had an aunt who lived in a border town near Mexico.
• 22:11
  And she lived with her kids. Her husband had died.
• 22:16
  And she raised him and her children were all adults. And as is common in our
• 22:21
  culture, because they weren't married, they still lived in the house.
• 22:24
  So they were like between the ages of, I'm going to say, 15,
• 22:29
  all the way up to like 24, 26. Yeah, that's common. Yeah.
• 22:35
  So she's out, she had a garden and she's out gardening. You know,
• 22:37
  they were very poor. They had a very, very humble home.
• 22:40
  Very poor people and they lived in a place called Douglas Arizona look it up
• 22:45
  it's kind of cool town and um,
• 22:49
  so she's out there gardening and she's just smelling this horrendous smell like
• 22:52
  what is that just couldn't what you know and um like a dead cat or something
• 22:59
  yeah like a dead something dead,
• 23:02
  and uh it was coming from the neighbor's yard yeah and her next door neighbor
• 23:06
  and the The people that lived there, it was new people.
• 23:11
  In other words, they just moved in. Yeah. And.
• 23:16
  So I guess the lady of that house was out in the garden.
• 23:20
  And so my auntie kind of confronted her and she said, hey, what's up?
• 23:25
  What is that smell? Like, it's
• 23:28
  really bad. You've got to take care of that smell. Where's it coming from?
• 23:32
  We've got to figure this out because it's really bad. Oh, my God.
• 23:36
  And she said that the woman said nothing to her.
• 23:39
  She simply turned around and walked back into her house with a smile on her
• 23:43
  face, just walked away like… which gave her the chills and the eebie-jeebies.
• 23:49
  So, the following day,
• 23:54
  She went out to do some more gardening, and she saw voodoo dolls.
• 24:01
  The voodoo dolls were set up in the garden, in her neighbor's garden,
• 24:07
  and they were facing her house.
• 24:12
  And that night, she went to bed, and she felt something strange in her vaginal area.
• 24:19
  So she turned the light on, and she saw a bunch of worms crawling out of her vagina.
• 24:26
  A bunch of worms, hundreds of them. They were just crawling out of her vagina.
• 24:30
  And I kid you not,
• 24:33
  she started screaming, of course. Oh, God. So her kids came running to the room,
• 24:38
  and she was like, oh, my God, explaining to them what had happened.
• 24:43
  And they took her to the hospital immediately. And the doctors were like,
• 24:47
  ma'am, there's like nothing coming out of there. There are no worms. You're imagining this.
• 24:53
  She was like, no, I wasn't imagining. I swear they were coming out. I swear.
• 24:59
  And they were just like, don't know what to tell you. We didn't see anything.
• 25:02
  There's nothing there. Nothing there.
• 25:04
  And she was freaked out. And she went home.
• 25:08
  And the next day, she saw one of the voodoo dolls had pins in the vagina area,
• 25:14
  in the crotch area, and the pins were going through worms that had been stuck
• 25:19
  on the crotch area with pins going through them.
• 25:22
  There were worms, dead worms, earthworms, dangling like that.
• 25:26
  And yeah, and she was just like freaked, so freaked.
• 25:31
  And you guys, I kid you not.
• 25:36
  It freaked her out, and it wouldn't stop haunting her. And three months later, my aunt was dead.
• 25:43
  Dead yeah so i was you know halloweenies coming up,
• 25:52
  maybe we should have a seance i know.
• 25:57
  Oh yeah oh yeah because the bottle yeah well we recently put a video on youtube
• 26:04
  and other areas other yeah social videos uh there's a windex well i don't know
• 26:11
  Shout out to him next time. You're right.
• 26:13
  The bottle was moving by itself. It just was rocking there on the shelf.
• 26:17
  And so John read the cards to our neighbor, Esme, and he said—actually to all of us. Yeah.
• 26:26
  And then my question— Yeah, who was—because the bottle—you guys,
• 26:33
  for days, this bottle sat there rocking.
• 26:36
  By itself. By itself. Nothing. There was no vibration. No, nothing.
• 26:41
  It was just rocking, rocking, rocking. The fridge wasn't making it.
• 26:45
  Freaked us out. So one of my brothers— We got it on video.
• 26:49
  Yeah, one of my brothers recently passed, S.O.T. Sergio, and I asked him, is that Sergio?
• 26:58
  And I got the ace of swords, I believe. Yeah, yeah. Which means— Clear mind, yes, it was.
• 27:07
  Right on the spot. Right on the spot. You hit the target, girl.
• 27:09
  Boom, that's what it was.
• 27:11
  I got chills, I got chills, I got chills. Oh, and then, you guys,
• 27:15
  so we're not financially well off. Okay.
• 27:19
  I mean, the sparklies are not real. They're not real. These are like,
• 27:22
  you know. We hope, we wish. Yeah. So, but, um...
• 27:26
  I was working at a hardware store. I used to work at a hardware store.
• 27:29
  Oh, yeah. And my sister had just recently died.
• 27:34
  And she was very into money. She was financially successful and all that kind
• 27:37
  of stuff. And I was like, girl, I don't know how you did it,
• 27:39
  but send something my way.
• 27:41
  You know, give me winning lottery numbers or something.
• 27:45
  You know, and I had been asking her and asking her, like, you know,
• 27:50
  I don't know if anything's going to happen. It's probably silly.
• 27:53
  But I thought, what the heck? Doesn't hurt to ask.
• 27:55
  Oh, universe, if my sister's out there with you, would you please let her know
• 28:01
  that her brother would like the winning numbers for the lottery next month?
• 28:06
  And I kept, you know, and nothing was happening, nothing. So I said,
• 28:10
  I was at work and I was like, girl, give me a sign. I had just gotten done with lunch.
• 28:14
  And I was in an aisle. I had been called to aisle seven, plumbing.
• 28:19
  And I was helping a customer. No, it was aisle four, sorry.
• 28:23
  And I'm helping a customer in plumbing. and we're sitting there and we're talking
• 28:28
  about compression fittings and all this stuff like that and.
• 28:35
  Uh a package a package went from one shelf flew it like if someone tossed it
• 28:43
  and we were the only two people in the aisle
• 28:45
  and the package flew across the aisle hit the other other side of the shelves
• 28:50
  on the other side of the aisle and then fell to the floor and,
• 28:53
  me the customer and myself we both saw it,
• 28:56
  we were both happened to be looking exactly in that direction when this package went drop,
• 29:03
  and the customer just looked at me like i swear i swear and and he was like,
• 29:10
  i'm getting out of here and he just i swear and he turned around and he just
• 29:13
  bolted right out of that aisle.
• 29:16
  Yep and then and then um the other employees were like what happened what and
• 29:19
  i told them and they were like nah you're lying i'm like i swear to god and
• 29:23
  the customer was like this place is haunted i'm getting out of here and he swear
• 29:28
  to god he just bolted out the door Oh, yeah.
• 29:31
  Oh, yeah. And I was just like, that was weird.
• 29:34
  So weird. Anyways.
• 29:36
  So I was at the grocery store like a few months back, and I was by the bread aisle.
• 29:44
  And the guy was putting the bread up and all of a sudden a bread shot out,
• 29:51
  oh you know who it was i wasn't asking for anything because we both like stopped and we're like,
• 29:57
  what's going on wow and i said it's got to be a ghost wow because it just i
• 30:03
  mean it was like neatly put away because he had just put it there and then all
• 30:07
  of a sudden it just went shock.
• 30:10
  Hey yeah i know hey so you guys what What do you think about ghosts?
• 30:14
  Do they exist? Do they not exist?
• 30:16
  And even the word ghost, maybe it's something else. Maybe there's an energy, a residue of something.
• 30:23
  I don't know. What do you think happens to people when they die?
• 30:25
  Where do we go? I mean, I have my theories.
• 30:29
  I think, for me, I think everybody, they call it the soul, but I think there's
• 30:35
  an energy inside of everybody.
• 30:37
  Some people call it a soul, some people might have another word for it. Yeah.
• 30:41
  And that when you depart, it also has to depart.
• 30:46
  It's like when you burn a log, that log is gone now.
• 30:50
  But it created energy when it was disappearing, and it pushed the energy out
• 30:55
  into the world, into the universe.
• 30:56
  I think when we depart, when anything that's alive is now dead,
• 31:01
  I think whatever energy had inside of it kind of like explodes out into the
• 31:05
  universe, like in the most tiny, tiny microscopic, even less than like,
• 31:11
  particles, you know, just, just.
• 31:13
  And then I think that, like soup, all those energies are just swirling around.
• 31:19
  And I think when there's a new life that's going to be introduced,
• 31:23
  that whatever the energy is kind of scooped up in whatever quantity is needed
• 31:28
  and put into that new life form.
• 31:30
  Yeah. And that's why people sometimes are like, you know, I think that I have...
• 31:37
  Whoever uh dolly parton is in me yeah and it's kind of like she may be part of her maybe,
• 31:43
  because when her energy went poosh you know and and then you were born scooped
• 31:47
  up like that kind of thing yeah so i don't you know i think i think that when i mean this is just,
• 31:54
  my brain that when somebody passes away they're still around you and people
• 32:00
  that we haven't seen in a long time that we know I think they come and visit.
• 32:07
  And I think that they're on another plane.
• 32:11
  But they're still here. They're still here. Their energy is still here. That's kind of cool.
• 32:17
  Wouldn't it be sad if it was all wishful thinking and in the end nothing happens?
• 32:21
  You just lights out, story's over, you turn to dust, you're recycled into the
• 32:26
  earth. Nothing's going to happen.
• 32:29
  I mean, that's a possibility, I guess. That's a possibility,
• 32:32
  because we don't know. I mean, we won't know until we're gone. Yes. So. Knock on wood.
• 32:37
  LOL with Maddie and John.com is the website where you can tell us what you think.
• 32:45
  Because it's a very controversial issue. What happens when you die?
• 32:48
  It really is. What is it? What happens?
• 32:51
  Yeah. I guess we're probably thinking about it more now because we're closer
• 32:54
  to that reality than we were 20 years ago.
• 32:57
  Yeah. I mean, we're in our 60s. Yeah. And so it's on your mind.
• 33:02
  Just like when you're going to college, what are you going to major in is on your mind.
• 33:06
  When you're old, what about death is on your mind. You know, what are you going to do?
• 33:11
  Are you going to fight it or are you just going to go with the flow?
• 33:14
  Or are you going to encourage it? I mean, there's all different ways to approach it, I guess.
• 33:19
  But the thing is, one more Halloween that we're going to go through,
• 33:24
  which is one more time to celebrate Day of the Dead. Yes. And one more season
• 33:28
  of putting on a costume and acting crazy, lunatics going to parties.
• 33:35
  And bringing that inner ghostly, ghouly, ghoulish, funky, funky out, you know?
• 33:43
  And remembering our dead. And honoring them.
• 33:48
  And sending prayers, however you feel, you know, chants.
• 33:54
  Yeah, you can be like, I love you, sister. I love you, grandma. I love you, grandpa.
• 33:59
  I love you, mom. I love you, dad. You know what I mean? If they're gone.
• 34:04
  At our age, they are. But, you know, at your age, you might still have them. Hey. Enjoy them. Yeah.
• 34:09
  Listen, you guys, happy Halloween. Happy Halloween. Party.
• 34:14
  Put on a costume. Have fun. Be safe. Find an alternate, like, personality to become.
• 34:20
  Become, you know, a superhero or a nurse or whatever you want to.
• 34:25
  But become the same thing other.
• 34:28
  Fun. All right. Have fun. You guys, have a good one.
• 34:31
  Have a good one. Don't forget, LOL with moneyandjohn.com. and let us know what
• 34:36
  you think about ghosts and our stories and what happens to you at death.
• 34:43
  All right, bye. Bye, we'd love to see you. See you.
