  SPEAKER_03: Well, uh, I really was eager to kind of get back into life uh and live events and doing things out in public after COVID.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, we're still in the midst of it.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_03: I don't mean to sound like it's in the rearview mirror.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_03: But you know what I mean?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_03: Like we got to kind of go out and test the water and do some things.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_03: And I really wanted to do something fun in October time.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_03: I know you love Halloween.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I want to do something with incredible speakers, people that I that I trust, like that are really good, and put on a really good live show for the people of Omaha and anybody else that wants to cruise around.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_04: Fantastic.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_04: Now, this is being held at the Benson Theater, which is actually a renovated theater.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_04: It was a theater one time before.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_04: Now, Jamie, you've been on my show and we've talked about your haunted tours that you give.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_04: Didn't you just add a Benson component to your tours recently?
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, I actually live in downtown Benson.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: So I've been trying to do a Benson ghost tour uh and COVID happened and they just started this summer.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: So, yep, walk by the Benson Theater tomorrow night.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_04: Sweet, sweet.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_04: John, Tenny, what is it about the Midwest that you recognize as being such a paranormal hotbed that makes this such a good place to host an event like this and to discuss these things?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, first of all, have you seen the weirdos that live in the Midwest?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: I mean that right off the bat.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: Uh no, I mean the thing that I'm excited about is I haven't been to Nebraska, I think, in like 25 years.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: I think the last time I went there was to investigate, and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong, like a lake monster that like historically is known.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's like the Walgren Lake Monster or something like that.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I'm trying to pull these old memories from 25 years ago, but yeah, um, I mean, we had a discussion earlier about what the Midwest even is.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, when you have any any place in the United States, I mean, I just got this conversation.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: I just came back from a UFO convention and someone asked me about the hot spots in the in the United States, like paranormal hot spots.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: I really don't think there are hot spots.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: I think that every place is as haunted, but the recognition that every place is haunted or has paranormal stuff really falls by the waysides because one or two places get really well known.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: You can go in any town in America, and if you sit in the right bar or the right diner and you talk to the right people, you find out how screwed up that place is.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Like ghost stories and all of the urban legends and the monsters that people have seen.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I really feel like there are parts of the Midwest that get forgotten about.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_01: Like, again, like 25 years ago, I was going there.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: I'm surrounded by lakes.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm in Detroit, I'm in Michigan, right?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: And I had gone to Nebraska to look for a lake monster.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's just one of those things where I'm glad to see it finally getting recognition and getting some kind of convention put on there so that we can talk about how weird that area is.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_04: For sure, for sure.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_04: And Johnny Hauser, we have talked about this at great length on your episode of my podcast.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_04: We talked about Velisca.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_04: Um, let's kind of retrace that a little bit because I asked you that question specifically about Velisca Axe Murder House and Malvern Manor.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, what is some of your takes on the subject?
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, and I agree with Tinny quite a bit with that.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I also think that, you know, the smaller rural places, there's not a lot to do.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: So a lot of storytelling still happens of, you know, grandpa saw this ghost when he was walking down the dirt road, and it's a lot smaller pace, you know, or not as busy as the city, I suppose.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but you know, it there's well, Villusca comes from Walluska, which was Muskoki for evil spirit.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, then it turned into from Walluska to Villuska.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_02: It makes me wonder, you know, there's a lot of uh love in the land here, a lot of fifth, sixth, seventh generation farmers whose great, great, great, great grandparents lived in the same house and died in that house.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_02: And no, I think there's a lot of family ties to the land in general.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_04: So this question would be for all of you, um, because you all have different areas of expertise in this, but is it because the season we're going into in people's sense of nostalgia and wanting to explore haunted attractions or the paranormal, why that activity kicks up, or is there something actually too like there is an increase of paranormal activity about in this time of year?
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, everybody's waiting for an answer.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'll go first.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_01: I think the season is kind of the same concept as I was saying, like, it's a hot spot.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like this this season has become a hot spot.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_01: You can go back and even just in American history, and 150 years ago, Halloween wasn't celebrated the way it was celebrated.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's we celebrate it now.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: And if you look at cultures around the world, like there's always whether it's the spring equinox or the summer equinox, these are times when people have always been like, something strange is happening, the weather is changing, the environment is changing.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: But Halloween was the one that caught on, right?
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: So, and there was already this all souls day where you had, you know, uh Judeo-Catholic belief systems like intertwining with the weirdness of witches and Maybon and all of the autumnal changes.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: And so it just plus it's got good, you know, like logos and stuff.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's got good good novelty to it.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: Like pumpkin carved up pumpkins and gourds are scary looking, and like it it makes for a good selling point.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: But again, I don't think that this time of year is any different than any other time of year.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: What's your take?
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: I will chip in with my two cents.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: I totally agree that most people attribute September 1st to October 31st to spooky season, and they don't realize that people like us exist that spooky is year-round, like 365 days a year.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: I have a shining room, not a dining room.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um but people do as soon as like they throw a pumpkin on their front porch, there's like the stuff like it goes to spooky season on my tours.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: I cannot say that there is any more paranormal activity during this time of year than there is in June.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's just it's getting darker earlier and the the leaves are changing and it's getting a little crisp out, and people are open to having that experience more because they they think it's spooky season.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: If I can jump on that too, Jamie, I agree completely.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: And I think if we get into a more kind of occult look and kind of mystical look at how Halloween is understood, I mean, if you talk about like the influence we can have over the environment, now that Halloween is what it is, every year for about a month, you have everyone in the world thinking about ghosts and haunted houses.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: So of course, like, how is that even possible?
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: Are we manifesting the spooky season that we have all come to recognize now?
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: I I mean it works for me.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I stay very busy during this season.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I mean, and the veil, most people tend to think that the veil did just begin start uh, you know, begun to thin.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm a believer in those sort of things.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: But I also think, you know, gosh, if you're really trying hard to have a paranormal experience, I I don't know, can you manifest it?
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite, it's quite possible.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: You can really scare the bejesus out of yourself.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Walk in the fridge in the middle of the night if you just watch Friday the 13th.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and if everybody is so concerned with like this is the time of ghosts because it's autumn and everything is dying, it's like, oh, then this is would be the worst time to contact ghosts because they're dying.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like, if you wanted to contact ghosts, you would it would happen in spring, right?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: When all the things that died are coming back to life.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like, that seems like that should be way fucking spookier.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, I don't know if I'm allowed to swear so.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_04: No, please do, please do.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_03: What's your take, Brian?
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I I just like sitting back and listening to these great explanations and these great things.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_03: Me too.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_03: Uh these great thoughts.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_03: But you know, what's great about this season and what I'm trying to do at the event is bring it to the masses.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_03: Earlier we said that, you know, like, look at us, we're a bunch of weirdos, and there's some weirdos in the Midwest.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_03: But what a great way to bring people into the fold and to sp and to bring up these topics of the afterlife, talking about psychic ability, talking about monsters and ghosts and even space aliens, all this stuff.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_03: What a great, what a great opportunity we have to open up the doors uh in October and have these stories being shared.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_03: And the little farmhouse down in Velisco, well, you're gonna hear about it.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna hear about this place in Benson, you're gonna hear about this uh, sorry, John, this diner that didn't exist that I ate at.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna maybe, you know, but you're gonna hear these stories and you're gonna laugh and you're gonna get a little spooked out.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_03: And I hope that when people go to something like this, whether it's this event or other events that I see advertised all over, is that the people that are drugged to the event, brought to the event by the by the person in their life that's into the paranormal.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_03: I hope that person it sparked something in them to open their eyes to this phenomenon.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: You know what I'm saying?
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_04: For sure, for sure.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_04: That's such a great way to encapsulate that and help put over the event that everybody should be going to.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_04: Come on, come on.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_04: That was awesome.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_04: You know, what was funny is uh, you know, Tenny was talking about the iconography of Halloween.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_04: It's it's like going and buying an Iron Maiden record because there's Eddie T on the cover.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_04: Like it's like, oh man, this this is the shit.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna listen to it because it's got a badass album cover.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_04: So that's a really good point as far as why people become more interested in these types of events and paranormal activity during this time of year.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_04: One thing I would kind of take a step back on is Johnny Hauser and I had a conversation about activity increasing in Vallisca because people might have been, you know, the more people had interest in the place, how that might have been inviting more activity.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_04: Do you want to go into that, Johnny, since I'm stumbling over my words and I sound like a fucking idiot?
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I I've had the the opportunity to be at this location for like 20 years at this point, and it's just mind-boggling thinking of that.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: And I've I've really used it as like I hate to say the word lab because what happened there is terrible, you know.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: But I've I've done so many overnights alone in that house.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_02: I've looked for patterns and birthdays, anniversaries, moon phases, storms, the eclipse, anything, and I found no real rhyme or reason to when it happens, but I have noticed the influx of people, of course.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it it stirs things up, it gets things supercharged, and you get all these people coming in and all this thought and all this intent, and it just fuels these places, I believe.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, for sure.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_04: And Brian, you were gonna chime in with a point there just a second ago.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I yeah, I kind of got lost.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_03: Johnny just made a huge, huge point there, but um I was just talking about like bringing people that are un that aren't familiar with all these things.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_03: Like uh, I made a joke about people being brought or drugged to the event.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_03: Like my wife, we had a fantastic experience at uh A Strange Escapes, which is a kind of a boutique paranormal convention or or a gathering, a vacation kind of thing that's held over the weekends.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_03: And it's uh put on by Amy Bruni, Adam Barry uh from Kindred Spirits, Mr.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_03: Tanne's part of that too.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_03: So but it was such a great experience for for us together because she's not really into the paranormal that much, and I totally am.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_03: And she found so much uh of interest into it with the psychic gallery readings, John's lecture, um Amy Bruni talking about this and that, and we heard Greg Lawson talk about falling asleep in Dracula's castle.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_03: So just again, like uh just bringing people into the fold, like having this kind of spark something in their in their mind, in their imagination, something to take them you know, out of the Benson Theater and into the library or in like doing research or or really finding out more about this stuff.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, absolutely.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_04: So, Jamie, going to you, and based on what you do typically this time of year, how business kicks up for you, because I let's let's be honest, every person that's on this call, your your uh your season is getting a little bit busier for all the aforementioned reasons that we talked about.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_04: Um, what's the scope of what you're hoping to cover at this event?
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, I I had really just planned on talking about the history of Benfin um and the kind of nitty-gritty of it, and of course the theater, which I actually have my own personal paranormal experiences from before it was renovated.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: I'd pay the math over there.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: So I was going to talk about some historical kind of ghosts, and then I wouldn't scare people in the theater.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: The idea, like if you go to the bathroom, you know, take take someone with you potentially, you know, or if even if they were to see a little curtain sway, totally think that they were having an experience, because I enjoy doing that to people because I think it's very fun to get a little worked up and and it's dark and beautiful and spooky, and they did such an amazing job on the renovation.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: It feels like you just step back into 1931.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: It is incredible.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_04: That's amazing.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_04: That's amazing.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_04: So what are the hopes?
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_04: Are you hoping to make this uh an annual event, Brian?
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, uh that is not like my like big long-range plan.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_03: I just wanted to kind of have this great event.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_03: I've got an idea for a trilogy of events.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_03: If you're into horror movies, you gotta be into the trilogy.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: So I've I've got I've got some feelers out.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_03: I have a date reserved for next year at the Benson Theater, but uh it's still it's gotta be uh a little bit kind of different, but accessible for for uh non-enthusiasts as well.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_03: I want it to be open to the whole the whole community, you know what I mean?
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_03: But I got some ideas.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_03: I got some ideas.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_04: Good.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_04: Excited to see how this all fleshes out.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_04: Speaking of fleshing things out, let's uh let's talk some spooky stuff.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_04: No, dude, I wasn't gonna like pull my pants down or anything.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_04: Not this time.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_04: This isn't that kind of call.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_04: But let's talk about what everybody is keeping themselves busy with currently.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_04: Two to three minute plug for each one of you.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_04: I'll lead off with uh John Tenney.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, uh let's see.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: I've got a weekly podcast called What's Up Weirdo, which is just me talking to my friend Jessica.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: That keeps me pretty busy.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but yeah, I mean, just a lot of conventions now, obviously.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: I I was talking to you earlier off-air about I usually don't do anything in October, and I just said yes to everything this year and overwhelmed myself.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_01: And but uh the other the thing I've been working on for the past couple years is in Michigan and some of the surrounding states from like 2018 to 2021 mostly, uh, people were seeing these really weird creatures, and I didn't I don't know what to call them, I've been calling them formanauts.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: And when I say weird creatures, I mean like one of the one of the entities that was spotted by multiple people was like a three-foot by three-foot box covered in hair that was floating through a neighborhood, and it would move through walls and fences like of houses.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: And then another one was maybe like a two and a half foot in diameter triangle that had legs that ran around through a neighborhood, and it looked like it had LED lights on its back.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, just like super bizarre, and it would it all took place over the really a course of two years, but I'm trying to compile that and put that together into some kind of readable format, but it's just truly bizarre, and that's been taking up a lot of my time.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's phenomenal.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: How about you, Johnny Hauser?
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, I mean, I I got this coming up, and this is the only thing I booked this year on on purpose.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I purposely wanted to just kind of take the last couple years, and I've been really delving into the uh the actual true crime accounts of the Axe Murder House.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um, because I I studied it for a long time, but there's just so much out there, so many detective notes, so many contradictions and old papers and stuff.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_02: And I thought I just want to really delve into the true history of this.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: And I've uncovered a ton of stuff that I'm just like, what?
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just craziness.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so this is really the only talk I'm doing this year.
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I just kind of decided to, you know, just enjoy life a little bit and do some research, and then I'll hit it again here next year.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_04: Nice.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_04: You know, you kind of make yourself sparse and rare.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_04: That makes you far more valuable, sir.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_04: You could leverage that.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_02: But then I get all these YouTubers coming to the axe house that I have no idea who they are, and they end up with like billions of subscribers, and I'm like, oh, those kids were nice.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_02: No idea.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: How about you, Jamie?
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, I stay busy all year with ghost tours, but yes, um, I do more in September and October.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: I do have a couple of other bigger events uh like this.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_00: Well, this is a big one, but there's a couple of other ones.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: And nobody on this phone call knows that on October 8th, the Benson Boutique cell B O O is opening, right in Hard Benson across the street from my house.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_04: Nice.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_04: Fantastic.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_04: So aside from Benson, is there anything new on your ghost tours this year?
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I usually add one to two a year.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: You know, writing a ghost tour is insane.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's hundreds of hours of research and then writing memories, you know, memorizing all of that stuff.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I tweaked a couple of things.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Benson's a big addition this year, uh, along with kind of Hummel Park revisited, which is a part two to my haunt at Hummel Height.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_04: Fantastic.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_04: Fantastic.

  SPEAKER_03: She's a great ambassador to Omaha with the uh with her car.

  SPEAKER_03: Mike, don't cut this out.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_03: Don't get on.

  SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_03: I'm all freaked out why the security alarm is actually beeping.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_03: So what I was trying to say is that Jamie's such a great ambassador to Omaha.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_03: She had the great Honticon conventions here for years, and her tours are spectacular.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_03: And her class that she teaches at Metro Community College is super fun.
