Coming up... This is a continuation of our two
0:02
-part 50th episode extravaganza. We had to make
0:06
it two episodes because we just love talking
0:08
that much. What's the point of living if you
0:11
know the answers to the universe? I know there's
0:14
some truth to that cheese. If a ghost is gonna
0:16
bitch me out, I'm gonna bitch them out too! Welcome
0:20
to our podcast where we take deep dives looking
0:22
at various topics through a paranormal lens.
0:26
Yeehaw! Let's do this! Okay, so who wants to
0:30
start off? Question 26. I shall start. Okay.
0:35
What is your least favorite piece of equipment?
0:39
Honestly, the EMF meter that's just the lights.
0:43
The K2 type of thing? Yeah, the K2 meter. Honestly,
0:47
my least favorite because it's so... glitchy
0:51
it picks up on weird things just waving it around
0:55
too fast can sometimes set things off and like
0:58
if you're a new paranormal investigator you may
1:01
not realize that i don't know and it's just easier
1:05
to have like the digital emf reader to actually
1:09
see the number fluctuation in my personal opinion
1:13
i the k2 me you can't even see like So, like,
1:17
let's say you catch, like, something where you're
1:19
like, wow, in your head, this is some crazy EMF
1:23
action. The natural question is, oh, what was
1:27
the reading? You can't even tell. Like, oh, it
1:30
was the yellow light. Yellow light. What does
1:35
that mean? Exactly. I mean, I'm pretty sure the
1:39
K2 meter does have what the Milagos reading is
1:43
for each light. But it's like a range, so it's
1:46
so hard to pinpoint. Because my favorite thing
1:48
about the EMF is it's a real device that measures
1:52
something real, right? So when you get a reading
1:57
that you think, okay, that was strange, you can...
2:01
actually go and figure out exactly what the energy
2:03
output is equivalent to to figure out, you know,
2:05
if it's something that could have an explanation.
2:08
Yeah. You can't do that with a K2. What's your
2:12
least favorite, Ben? We don't have one, but probably,
2:19
I mean, we've been on investigations with people
2:21
that use them, and I just think even watching
2:23
on TV, it's a false positive generator. I'm talking,
2:30
of course, the SLS. I knew you were going to
2:33
say that. That's the stick figure thing. The
2:35
concept is interesting, but reliable, I would
2:40
say. I want to do a full episode on SLS eventually.
2:44
Yes, absolutely. The phone apps, too. Spoiler
2:46
alert. Or even worse, because people use phone
2:49
apps that don't even have LiDAR. So it's literally
2:51
just anything that... like the in 2d space like
2:55
resembles a person like a water bottle even but
2:58
the grooves kind of have you know and it's the
3:01
amount of people that post on facebook especially
3:04
like older people that have the apps and they're
3:07
just like oh there's a stick figure showing up
3:10
on my water bottle it's a mini ghost no no it's
3:13
not no drives me nuts it's picking up something
3:16
in the water bottle that looks like a human what
3:19
about you angela do you have a least favorite
3:20
boo bear boo boo buddy god no i love boo buddy
3:27
oh god no it drives me nuts i can't stand that
3:30
stupid thing and people who make their own too
3:33
i'm just like no stop it well there's the people
3:38
that make their own don't have the annoying like
3:40
child saying like you're tickling me i'm like
3:44
It always happens at the worst time. You're hearing
3:47
footsteps and you're trying to capture it on
3:49
audio. That's why I don't like them. It sounds
3:52
so stupid and they go off constantly. I'm like,
3:55
this isn't reliable, I feel like. Every single
3:59
time we use these on investigations, it's going
4:02
off at least 10 different times in an hour. Fuck
4:07
that. That's not... That's not reliable. No way.
4:10
Temperature is fluctuating that much or something's
4:13
touching it that much. But again, the same issue
4:16
with the K2. You don't know whether temperature
4:18
is changing too. Is it a two degree temperature
4:22
difference or a five degree temperature difference?
4:24
Or it seems like with Boo Bear, is it a 0 .05
4:27
degree difference? It doesn't say. Exactly. And
4:31
then, of course, I just hate things as a film
4:33
person that make. noise like that in general
4:36
because like it's always when someone is saying
4:38
something important i need to get audio of that
4:40
like right over them talking is like also don't
4:45
like it because one it looks extremely stupid
4:49
i that's why i don't like homemade ones too because
4:52
people who i'm sorry if anyone's listening that
4:55
makes their like homemade ones or whatever but
4:57
it's just kind of like Why are you picking it
5:00
like the dirtiest looking like goodwill stuff
5:03
animals out there as possible? Like get something
5:06
good looking at least to make it people want
5:08
to buy them. It's eye appealing, you know? I'm
5:12
sorry, that's a meme, but like seriously. So
5:15
you're saying just because you can stick an EMF
5:17
meter in something doesn't mean you should. Exactly.
5:21
Okay, Brie, question 27. What is a paranormal
5:26
topic you wish investigators would stop arguing
5:29
about? None. We won't have a podcast. Yeah, there's
5:34
a lot of different things. I actually want people
5:37
to argue more about stuff. Yeah, I mean, I feel
5:42
like the arguing or having differences in beliefs
5:45
is what makes it interesting. You can learn more,
5:50
you know? I know we... are like we don't really
5:55
watch too many paranormal stuff but what is your
6:00
favorite even if it's a guilty pleasure what
6:02
is your favorite paranormal show and it can be
6:05
like youtube stuff or whatever like what's your
6:07
favorite paranormal stuff that you even if it's
6:10
guilty pleasure unironically do enjoy to watch
6:13
um unironically i used to watch ghost adventures
6:19
to fall asleep to I started having really creepy
6:29
dreams so I had to switch to how it's made but
6:32
I do in fact throw on ghost adventures in the
6:40
background all the time when I'm doing stuff
6:43
because you can just listen to it and it's entertaining
6:47
so yeah Ghost adventures. I really enjoy exploring
7:00
with Josh stuff. On YouTube, yeah. The abandoned
7:05
locations. Yeah. Abandoned stuff and this ghost
7:09
stuff is very entertaining. I would say, I mean,
7:14
Bree, we both grew up on the Ghost Hunters, so
7:17
I'd say that classic era of, like, seasons one
7:20
through four of Ghost Hunters, I think, before
7:22
parallel TV got, like, kind of oversaturated.
7:27
Classic. Where Jason and Grant still did the
7:31
plumbing gig and would get the call while they
7:34
were at a house doing plumbing stuff. That's
7:39
something we've never done. We've never done
7:41
plumbing before. We've never done plumbing before.
7:44
So who's gonna go back to school and get their
7:48
plumbing degree? Hell nah. No thanks. I'm already
7:53
not using the degree I have now. What popular
7:59
haunting do you think is misunderstood? Like
8:06
a specific haunting? I guess. Like a popular,
8:11
well -known haunted place. Okay, haunted place.
8:16
The answer, when you just said haunting, I was
8:18
going to go like... Yeah, that's true. Haunting.
8:20
I was going to say hat man. Hat man. I think
8:26
it's misunderstood for reasons we already covered
8:28
in a previous episode. Yes. That's a good answer.
8:32
That is a good answer. I still love when Bree
8:35
said it's kind of like the inverse of the woman
8:38
in white type of thing. Yeah. I like that. What's
8:42
your opinion on people who intentionally try
8:44
to provoke spirits for entertainment? My first
8:47
thoughts are leave the world's poor souls alone.
8:52
I think, to put it simply, how you engage with
8:57
spirits tends to be how you engage with people,
8:59
so it's just a reflection on who you are as a
9:01
person. Good way to put it. Now, that's not to
9:06
say there aren't a few cases. Like, if you see
9:09
a shitty person in real life that's a murderer,
9:12
a murderer across the room, like a known murderer,
9:15
if they look at you and they say, fuck you, Brianna,
9:18
you're probably going to say, fuck you, asshole,
9:21
back to them. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I feel like
9:23
I have to. You're allowed to be mean to some
9:25
spirits like you are allowed to be mean to some
9:27
people. But, like, don't come out the gate. Yeah,
9:30
I'm pretty sure that I'm very, like, against
9:34
provoking. But if a ghost is going to bitch me
9:40
out, I'm going to bitch them out, too. I want
9:44
to see this green bitch fight with a ghost. Like,
9:50
if it happens, like, you bet your ass I'm going
9:55
to talk back to them. God. Anyways. Alright,
10:02
question 31. I'm kind of wasting this question.
10:05
I just think it's a funny question. If a ghost
10:08
challenged you to a game of Jenga in exchange
10:12
for the answers to the universe, would you...
10:14
If they lost, they would have to give you...
10:22
You'd have to win. Would you be confident enough
10:24
to play a ghost? What would happen if you lost?
10:29
You would never get the answers to the universe.
10:32
I mean, there isn't really a downside to it.
10:36
Either you play Jenga against the ghost and you
10:39
win and you learn the mysteries of the universe,
10:41
or you play Jenga against a ghost and you lose
10:44
and you still get to say you played Jenga against
10:47
a ghost. What's the point of living if you know
10:50
the answers to the universe? I don't... No? Like...
10:56
Well, okay. This can be a question 32. Would
11:01
you keep investigating the paranormal if you
11:07
knew all the answers to the universe? No. I would
11:12
say yes because it would give me a better understanding
11:15
as to how to connect or speak with spirits and
11:18
to be able to capture that and record evidence
11:21
to help further prove the paranormal. that is
11:25
saying that the universe proved, like, knowing
11:28
the knowledge of the universe would prove that
11:30
the ghosts and the paranormal are real. Maybe
11:34
it's not. You know, there's still that little
11:38
inkling. You got a good answer to that, because
11:40
the first thing that came to my mind was that
11:42
I'm just going to be bored. Like, what's the
11:43
point of doing it? I'll be bored. I like your
11:47
answer a lot better, Bree. I thought at first
11:50
Bree was just going to say, yeah, something to
11:52
do on a Saturday night. what's a paranormal claim
11:58
that sounds ridiculous but you've seen evidence
12:01
supporting it um that's a hard question i'm sorry
12:09
it is a hard question you know my answer what
12:13
what the most ridiculous no not having the most
12:17
ridiculous thing i've ever heard cheese layers
12:20
but I know. I know there's some truth to that
12:23
cheese. And I'm not just talking breeze. Or Swiss.
12:28
Or cheddar. I've seen provolone. I've seen proof
12:32
of it all. Proof alone. Proof alone. Proof alone.
12:43
Oh, goodness. Leave my provolone proof alone
12:48
alone. Whose question is it? It's my turn. All
12:51
right. Okay. Has anyone on the team ever quit
12:55
or seriously considered quitting because of an
12:59
experience? Oh my gosh, because that was literally
13:02
going to be my question. I was unprepared. Sorry.
13:08
That's all good. No, I've never seriously thought
13:14
about quitting. I feel like I've never... going
13:17
to quit the paranormal but i feel like there
13:20
may end up being some sort of event at some point
13:24
that may make me question like whether i actually
13:28
want to keep yeah i'm sure like i'm sure we're
13:31
all going to come across that once or twice but
13:35
it's become such a big part of our lives it's
13:38
hard to imagine doing anything without it I guess
13:44
this is kind of a broad question, but has anything
13:46
we've encountered or learned or discussed in
13:52
the paranormal actually made you think about
13:55
religion differently? I don't think so. Not really.
13:59
Yes, it did change my view on religion. What
14:03
location has completely exceeded your expectations?
14:08
madison seminary because it breaks my brain every
14:11
time i go there so like that's the highest form
14:13
of flattery all right um going back to the top
14:17
when we talked about like least favorite piece
14:19
of equipment if you were on a haunted island
14:23
and you can only have one thing with you to detect
14:29
ghosts And that includes your phone. You would
14:32
have, if you choose like an EMF meter, you wouldn't
14:35
have a phone. You can only have one tool, one
14:38
anything with you on this haunted island. What's
14:42
the one thing you would bring? Spirit box? You
14:45
would bring spirit box. Yeah, because if you're
14:48
alone, you can have like, and if you get lonely,
14:51
you can just turn on the spirit box and start
14:54
talking and having a conversation with the ghost.
14:56
That is a good option. I was going to say dowsing
15:00
rods, but like you get dowsing rods are only
15:03
good for yes, no answers where they're at, where
15:05
something's at, which you can get all of that
15:07
and some with a spirit box. So we got two team
15:10
spirit boxers over here. Spirit boxers. Pow.
15:17
I would bring my phone. That's why I said at
15:20
the beginning about the phone. Just your phone?
15:23
Yeah, you can record audio. You can record video.
15:26
So true. You have a little flashlight in there?
15:29
I just walk around with my phone. I kind of just
15:32
saw the phone. I feel like that's cheating. Yeah,
15:36
that's lame. Okay, so I would bring a camera.
15:41
That's better. Okay. Which also can record audio,
15:48
can record video. Probably has a built -in light.
15:52
Totally correct. Have you ever felt emotionally
15:56
drained after an investigation and where? Oh,
15:59
yeah. Not always due to the spirits, though.
16:02
When we used to be in, like, Paranormal Club,
16:04
right, there were, like, literally 100 people,
16:07
all college kids. Some of these people are really
16:11
emotionally draining just being around. And then
16:15
you're up for, like, 14, 15 hours in a remote
16:21
place with no cell service. in the dark and you're
16:25
scared that's i feel like a lot of the early
16:30
investigations were a little draining more than
16:32
recent ones because like when you have good people
16:34
that you vibe with and you know your limits in
16:39
terms of like taking breaks and whatnot like
16:43
it doesn't really get to you as much yeah if
16:46
you don't vibe with the people you are investigating
16:48
with your energy will drain A lot faster. Oh,
16:53
yeah. I think that's fair. I don't know about
16:57
you guys, but when I'm with people... I like
17:01
most people that I have investigated with before.
17:04
It's just like if it's... Some people just have
17:08
a strange vibe. I don't know that... I mean,
17:12
you guys have probably noticed I'm very much
17:14
a people person. So if I'm helping with an investigation,
17:18
I feel like I don't get... drained as much because
17:22
i just get energized about like talking to people
17:25
about stuff and like helping with the investigation
17:29
and like but i don't know i i feel like if i
17:34
ever get emotionally drained it's because of
17:36
like something that happens like if someone's
17:41
using boo bear around me my energy will be gone
17:45
in two minutes but yeah i think We have been
17:48
emotionally drained, just I don't think anyone
17:50
here has been, like, emotionally drained from,
17:53
like, spirits, right? Though I feel like you
17:57
guys have been affected enough, like, specifically
18:00
I'm thinking of, like, Simpson Hospital. Like,
18:03
you guys got really emotionally affected, and
18:06
I felt like that was... but that's not like emotionally
18:09
draining yeah we're not just i don't know i wouldn't
18:12
call it like drink like people say like there's
18:13
paranormal hangovers or whatever i never felt
18:16
that like i've been tired or like just kind of
18:19
overwhelmed at points but like not like emotionally
18:22
drained type of thing where it's like i can't
18:24
even think right now i can't even feel any feelings
18:27
i am yeah in such despair because are you sure
18:31
paranormal hangover isn't just being up all night
18:36
like that's what i suspect back to sleep that's
18:39
what i suspect i never felt a paranormal hangover
18:42
no i i could never relate with people whenever
18:46
they they say that so yeah now one time during
18:51
investigation we all felt just suddenly hung
18:56
over all at once during an investigation and
18:59
we all had to like sit down and we're like the
19:00
room is spinning we're like what's happening
19:02
but then passed in a minute and we're like that
19:04
was weird okay this was at the south lion hotel
19:08
all right question i don't know we're just gonna
19:11
say we're on 40 so okay have you ever found yourself
19:15
emotionally attached to a location or case you
19:20
see here's the thing some people are like they
19:23
get protective about locations like oh don't
19:27
go here it's my haunted place you don't have
19:30
a haunted place even people that are location
19:32
owners should open it up to the public so i'm
19:36
very much like it's weird if you get overly protective
19:38
over a place um i mean maybe what we're talking
19:43
about in the previous episode about like bath
19:45
and stuff like i i feel like this because of
19:48
an emotional connection to that case and stuff
19:51
i would advise against investigating there but
19:56
that's for reasons other reasons Because of recent
19:59
tragedy stuff. I feel like I don't have any current
20:07
locations that I feel emotionally attached to
20:12
or personally attached to. But back in the day
20:15
when we were first starting and with the first
20:19
documentary you made with Afterlife, I felt like
20:23
there was a period in time where we all felt
20:25
very attached to Rosevear. And all the things
20:29
going on with Rosevear. Oh, yes, you guys did.
20:34
Believe me. Rosevear Park. I walked in on your
20:37
guys' lives when it was, like, a big thing. And,
20:40
my God, you guys were very invested in it. It
20:42
was like, oh, where do we want to go to investigate?
20:45
It's like, oh, man, that's too far away. Oh,
20:47
man, we got to plan ahead of time for that one.
20:51
Well, let's just go to Rosevear. It was always
20:54
our go -to. We just kept getting drawn back there.
21:00
I didn't even think about something like that.
21:02
Yeah, that was like a mini obsession for like
21:03
a year. Two years. Longer than just a year for
21:08
you guys. That was like a place that latched
21:10
onto us and we were all just compelled to go
21:13
there. Yeah. Yeah. Reasonably so. I mean, it's
21:16
a place. Yeah. Wonderful insight. It's a place.
21:27
It's a place. Whose question is it? It's yours,
21:32
Ben. It's mine? Okay. Here's a fun one. If you
21:37
could meet any ghost and have a conversation
21:40
with it, which ghost would you want to kindly
21:43
and with consent force to sit down at a table
21:46
with you and talk to you? Abe Lincoln. You'd
21:49
want to talk to Abe Lincoln. That's okay. why
21:55
he seems like a very interesting dude what can
21:59
i say huh okay but abe that actually would be
22:02
cool because you know like with mary todd lincoln
22:05
and all that stuff like with the spirit photography
22:06
it would be so cool to like replicate that like
22:10
an authentic spirit photo of abe lincoln yeah
22:14
but that's um i want he would be like such a
22:18
good like hat man who says I actually have a
22:23
really good one about after thinking about this
22:25
for a hot second. Houdini. Houdini. Yes. You
22:30
know, because he was so he was so into like the
22:33
cult and like he was there the rise of spiritualism
22:37
and like even his wife after he passed away was
22:41
very heavily into spiritualism and doing seances
22:44
because they had like that code word. If the
22:48
afterlife exists, he was. supposed to say it
22:52
to her during a seance and i and also it's houdini
22:56
like i feel like that would be like the ghost
22:59
to talk to that would be yeah that would be so
23:04
you know the magic capital of the world is right
23:07
here in michigan and every year they do a seance
23:09
on halloween to contact houdini and they've never
23:13
contacted him yeah i talked to the guy that did
23:17
the seances because back in the day i wanted
23:19
to see if we could like film or be a part of
23:21
one they're fake seances i was so bummed oh yeah
23:26
they bill it as like take part in the same but
23:29
it's all just like theatrics and stuff like illusions
23:32
like magic now here's the thing i am swayed by
23:40
that answer i do like that answer brie um would
23:44
you I'm more willing to do a Houdini seance than
23:48
a Santa Claus seance. Oh, come on, bro. What?
23:54
You don't want to summon Houdini? Santa Claus.
23:59
You know, he's a famous debunker. What if, like,
24:01
he just, like, let's say in a theoretical, you
24:04
summon Houdini. And who knows what happens when
24:08
you summon a ghost? What if they show up and
24:10
they just, like, don't know they're a ghost?
24:11
They just think they're... And he sees us doing
24:14
a seance. He's like, full shit. That doesn't
24:18
work. No touching his ghost. Wait a minute. You're
24:22
as a ghost. You are a ghost. And he's like, what?
24:28
All right. My turn. What's the oddest thing that
24:32
you have found while investigating? You said
24:35
oddest. So I'll bring this up. When we went to.
24:40
This was not during an investigation, but it
24:42
was on your birthday a couple years ago, Angela,
24:45
and we stopped in this, that, and the otter things,
24:48
which we have done investigations at, but this
24:52
wasn't. It was just for your birthday. We're
24:53
in town and we stopped by. Yeah, we were just
24:54
there for my birthday. We went down to, like,
24:57
the river behind in Ypsilanti, and we found that
25:01
weird ceramic handmade mug with your initials
25:04
on it and full, like, breath. It had a bunch
25:06
of naked people on it. Yeah. naked people and
25:09
your initials. And I was like, all right, I didn't
25:11
get you a gift for your birthday. So happy birthday.
25:18
Um, is there, have we ever had a piece of evidence
25:22
that we took or had have collected that was,
25:27
didn't make the final cut or has never been shown
25:30
to the public? Oh, a lot. What's your favorite?
25:38
I can't even remember half the stuff. At Piercini,
25:42
there's so many EVPs and stuff that didn't. I
25:45
mean, that comes to mind because it's fresh.
25:48
Yeah. Same. That's always the first to go is
25:52
like evidence. Okay. Okay. So. Here's a fun thing.
26:00
We've been doing this for 10 years almost. And
26:06
a lot has changed. What do you think? Because
26:10
I think it's entirely viable and reasonable to
26:14
assume we'll be doing this from our little retirement
26:16
homes or nursing homes. Imagine us all at a nursing
26:21
home together investigating where we're living.
26:26
We would be investigating the past nursing, like,
26:30
people at the nursing home. They're probably,
26:32
like, extremely haunted, though, to be honest.
26:36
I mean, that kind of answers the first part of
26:38
my question. I was going to say, like, let's
26:41
say 60 years, 70 years from now, which is six
26:46
or seven times the duration we've been doing
26:48
this, you know, in total. When we're in a retirement
26:53
home, nursing home, What will investigations
26:56
look like, and what will the paranormal field
26:59
at large even look like? Good question. I think
27:04
our paranormal investigating will still look
27:06
very similar, just including a lot more walkers
27:09
and canes. And an EMF cane! That's really funny.
27:22
And also, missing dentures. Missing dentures.
27:28
Oh, God. AI will somehow be incorporated into
27:33
it, too, somehow, I bet. AI wheelchairs? AI wheelchairs.
27:41
An invention that... It's gonna be like the Tesla
27:45
cars, where they pick up ghosts, apparently,
27:49
but instead... We're in, you know, the wheelchairs
27:53
or whatever. And it's like, oh, there's a ghost.
27:57
There's a person walking in front of you. It's
27:59
like, no, there isn't. It's just a ghost. You
28:02
can't roll forward because there's a person.
28:05
Because your electric wheelchair that's AI equipped
28:11
with Tesla capabilities. Tesla capabilities.
28:16
Things that don't need to be invented, but we
28:19
know will be. Yep. Okay. That's a good question.
28:25
We're going to have the most decked out wheelchairs,
28:26
though. It's going to have EMF meters and the
28:30
wheels are cat balls. Uh -huh. Uh -huh. I wonder
28:36
who, out of all of us, who's going to die first?
28:40
Is that question 45? No! It's only... a matter
28:49
of time that we've been ghost hunting for nearly
28:53
a decade and we've avoided the inevitable question
28:56
of our own fate and immortality. The time has
29:01
come. It's okay. It's all gonna happen to all
29:05
of us. Only one of us has had a near -death experience
29:08
in front of others in the group. I don't know
29:12
what that... When I was drowned at Rosevear.
29:16
Oh, God. I didn't witness that. That was so funny.
29:22
We're talking again about Rose River Park. There
29:24
was a time we were filming the short film Afterlife,
29:27
and Brie, you want to say what happened? Because
29:30
it's probably less biased from you. Yeah, absolutely.
29:33
Because we were in the process of doing the recording
29:38
for our first documentary. And there was a new
29:43
moon or something happening. So you're like,
29:47
hey, let's try to set up some trail cams. See
29:49
if anyone's doing some weird wacky shit in the
29:52
woods. Because that was a claim. Yeah. So I had
29:55
trail cams and Ben and I went out to go set them
29:59
up. And it was spring. So there's a little creek
30:03
that runs through the park. And it was just flooded.
30:08
Like it was. flowing really fast like you couldn't
30:12
cross it usually you can cross it well we had
30:16
found a tree to cross the river we got across
30:19
and and we're looking for a place to set up the
30:23
cameras and ben's like oh hey there's a good
30:25
spot and i'm looking i'm like you mean on the
30:27
other side of this creek that we just had to
30:30
cross on a tree way back that way he's like yeah
30:34
we're like okay let's try to find another place
30:36
to cross and there's all these where the tree
30:40
branches and logs have collected along the way,
30:45
like creating like these little dams sort of
30:47
thing. And Ben's looking at it. He's like, oh,
30:49
this is a good place to cross. And I'm like,
30:51
I feel like it's not, but okay. So he starts
30:57
trying to pick his way across and he's holding
30:59
his camera or it's wrapped around his neck. But
31:02
I'm holding it up because it's still like, I'm
31:04
nervous. yeah i feel like i had i think i had
31:07
the camera stand and i'm waiting for you to cross
31:12
and you step on this log and you're like oh careful
31:15
this one's really wobbly and in that moment i
31:19
can see that's that log's not just wobbly it's
31:23
not touching the bottom of the creek you are
31:27
going to fall in i can't Say this out loud. Oh,
31:31
you absolutely could have. You could have. You
31:33
still could have. No, no, no. It was a split
31:35
second thought. I saw that the log was sinking
31:38
under you and I'm like, oh, there's no bottom
31:40
to that. And he went in. You could have said,
31:44
Ben, Ben, you're falling. It was too late, Ben.
31:48
It happened in a split second. There was no way.
31:52
So he went underwater. And he emerged with the
31:59
camera over his head and was barely touched.
32:03
Like, I think it was up to your chin practically.
32:06
I was flopping. I was like. And I'm like. Finn
32:10
was a dead fish. Yeah. And then I started to
32:13
get the camera up because it was completely submerged.
32:16
Yep. And I was following dirty creek water at
32:20
a haunted park. And so anyways, he was able to
32:25
climb out successfully. I was able to get across
32:29
the creek in that same spot successfully without
32:32
falling in. How do you do it, Bree? Tell us.
32:36
I have years of experience of crossing creeks.
32:41
That's a city boy. I know how to test a log or
32:46
a branch that I'm stepping on before actually
32:48
putting my full body weight on it. Then do you
32:52
realize everything that you did in that situation
32:55
was such a city boy like move? But I tested it
32:59
and I said out loud it's loose. I would have
33:03
known that. Been born in Chicago and then moved
33:06
to the suburbs of Detroit. When you notice a
33:08
log is loose in a fast flowing creek you shouldn't
33:12
step on it. Okay. Lesson learned. This was like
33:16
five years ago. Yeah, anyways. But yeah, so he
33:20
fell in the creek. We were able to get out. Almost
33:24
drowned. He almost drowned. Again, I was flying.
33:30
Swallowing this water. We're in small town Owasso,
33:35
and we're like, we need to get your camera and
33:38
some rice. The only place we can find is this
33:41
little mom and pop shop grocery store. And Ben
33:45
walks in, soaking head to toe, and there's, like,
33:48
a new, like, a wet floor sign, like they just
33:52
mopped. I could see the lady putting the broom
33:55
away. They gave him the dirtiest looks, because
33:58
he was walking, and it was the full sloshing
34:01
walk, you know? Dragging mud. Yep. And he just
34:07
walks in and goes to the counter and is like,
34:08
do you guys have any rice? They're like, no.
34:14
Imagine, I'm covered, I'm soaking wet, there's
34:17
like mud all over me and stuff. They're giving
34:21
deadly glares and I just go up. And there was
34:24
someone in line too, so I waited. And I just
34:26
go up. Ripping all over their clean floor. She's
34:30
like, do I have to grab this room back? And I'm
34:32
just like, do you have rice? I didn't see rice.
34:35
I wonder what the heck was going through their
34:37
mind. Yeah. And then what was it? A couple days
34:40
later, you went back to go grab the camera and
34:42
the... creek was back to a normal skinny crossable
34:46
creek without not even completely dried up yeah
34:50
completely dried up why did that happen it was
34:54
just randomly flooded the one day we wanted to
34:56
go out yeah it was hilarious what i wouldn't
35:00
give to have my camera like on in that moment
35:04
recording uh hindsight whose turn was it i don't
35:10
know i don't know either We're just going to
35:13
say it's Angela's. Okay. I don't even remember
35:16
what that question was. I don't even remember
35:19
either. Who's going to die first? Oh, yeah, that
35:22
was Angela's question, so it's my turn. Oh, okay.
35:28
We're terrible at keeping track of this stuff.
35:30
This is why we do one topic. And even then, Angela
35:32
doesn't know what the topic is. If you could
35:35
sit down with one famous paranormal investigator
35:39
from history, who would it be? I would, and if
35:43
we can get him on the podcast, that would be
35:45
great because I have a lot of questions. Zach
35:48
Bagans. I don't know if anyone has an answer
35:54
to this, but I want to ask. What's the funniest
35:56
response someone has given you or said to you
36:01
when they find out you're a ghost hunter? Or
36:06
you've said, I'm ghost hunting. It was... When
36:11
I was at work once and this person said, so how
36:17
does witchcraft work? And then did like the hand
36:21
movement of like abracadabra and screamed it
36:23
and then ran away. What? Did it work? I don't
36:36
know. What worked? Like, what are you asking
36:39
a question? The witchcraft. oh all right who's
36:44
whose question is the next angela angela has
36:48
the last question this better be good all right
36:52
i think it's a good one i don't know so out of
36:56
all of our investigations we've done and end
36:58
up all the different topics encrypted that we
37:01
have talked about and investigated about what
37:06
is something that you want to do that we have
37:08
not yet done Ooh. You know, I've always wanted
37:15
to investigate, like, a lighthouse. And that's
37:17
going back to the Ghost Hunters stuff, too. You
37:18
know, like, all the classic episodes were in
37:20
a lighthouse. And we're in Michigan! How have
37:22
we not done a lighthouse yet? Yeah. I would love
37:25
to do an investigation where we're at a location
37:29
for more than just, like, one night. Yes! I would
37:35
love to do that, too. That'd be so fun. That's
37:38
an episode idea of mine, too. for the near future
37:42
we need to talk about that because we haven't
37:43
i don't even know the longest we've done like
37:45
two nights we've never done anything more than
37:48
that though all right i'll throw a curveball
37:51
here how about this for a question what just
37:55
beyond just paranormal like what's next like
37:58
what do you want to do next like we've done a
38:01
lot we've done like what half a dozen films in
38:05
the past year like what is there anything you
38:08
want to do I'd really love to do some sort of
38:12
paranormal road trip. I want to try to hunt for
38:16
fairies. Fairies? The Fae. The Fae? Yeah. So,
38:22
that was fun? Yeah. Fun indeed, fun indeed. It
38:29
was a yeehaw of a time. Yeehaw. Now, no one,
38:33
no one, please listen to this. Just be chill.
38:38
Go with the flow. You've been having fun with
38:41
us. I don't want to get any comments being like,
38:44
there was only 49 questions. There was 57 questions.
38:48
It could be any range. Hopefully we got close
38:51
enough to 50 where everyone is satisfied. Lock
38:53
it up, people. Now, if any of these questions
38:57
did spark a thought in your head, though, like
39:00
an answer, a real answer to any of these real
39:01
questions, please reach out, drop a comment,
39:06
let us know. Your answers to any of these questions.
39:09
If you have any opinions on our opinions, as
39:12
always, we're here and wanting to talk. We wouldn't
39:16
have a podcast if we didn't like talking. We
39:18
do love talking. We couldn't even make the 50th
39:23
episode an episode. We had to make it two episodes.
39:26
We had to make it two episodes because we just
39:28
love talking that much. Thanks for listening
39:33
to this week's episode of Paranormal Lens. If
39:36
you liked what you heard, every five -star rating
39:38
and positive review tells the algorithms we're
39:41
a worthy podcast and pushes us out to more listeners.
39:44
We appreciate each and every one of you, and
39:47
we'll see you next Thursday for another paranormal
39:49
deep dive.
