Episode 47: SPOOKY MONTH KICKOFF! | The Haunting Of Blackwood House Book Review | Listener Ghost Stories | Crime Committed By Ghosts?! | AITA · This Is My Circus

• 0:00
  I'm Stephanie.
• 0:00
  I'm Meredith and welcome to This is My Spooky Circus.
• 0:04
  All right, so this is our week one of our spooky month.
• 0:08
  And I did not get the memo to dress spooky, but I love your sweatshirt.
• 0:12
  Can I tell you?
• 0:14
  Yes.
• 0:14
  It's a kid's sweatshirt from Walmart.
• 0:19
  It was 10.
• 0:21
  Well guys, if you're super tiny like my friend Steph, or if you have a kid, go get you a sweatshirt.
• 0:26
  It's cute though.
• 0:27
  Are the, are the letters fuzzy?
• 0:28
  Yeah.
• 0:29
  They're like velvety.
• 0:31
  I want to fill up there.
• 0:32
  I'm just kidding.
• 0:37
  Those are my pumpkins.
• 0:40
  Oh my gosh.
• 0:41
  When I was in middle school, okay.
• 0:43
  So it was for the whole grade.
• 0:43
  I was like sixth or seventh grade and we did this musical and then like we, so that was the music part and then art was like we made the sets and we made t shirts that we all wore for the musical.
• 0:55
  And so like all the different elements were included in it and it was this big huge thing.
• 0:59
  Well, My shirt, I thought I was going to be cool and I was going to do two stars on it.
• 1:04
  It ended up that my stars were right here and I can't remember what I did to fix it.
• 1:11
  But after I did it, the art teacher was like, let's, let's put some stars on there or something like that.
• 1:16
  I was like, oh, crap.
• 1:18
  That's awesome.
• 1:18
  Yeah.
• 1:18
  So your pumpkin's well centered.
• 1:20
  When you were a kid, were you allowed to dress up?
• 1:22
  For school for Halloween.
• 1:24
  I don't remember.
• 1:25
  Probably.
• 1:25
  So it just blows my mind that there, that you can't now.
• 1:28
  And I understand why everybody is like, oh, you know, inclusive or whatever.
• 1:32
  But, those were the best, like doing the parade, in all the costumes and all the parents came and lined up and, Oh, no, I don't think we did that.
• 1:40
  Oh, we had like some cool, but I will say that the older I get, the more I love Halloween.
• 1:46
  When I was younger, it was just like, You know, or am I too cool to dress up?
• 1:49
  Am I not too cool?
• 1:50
  No, never.
• 1:52
  I did dress up, but I love Halloween.
• 1:55
  Yeah.
• 1:56
  I like Halloween a lot.
• 1:57
  and I just, those were such awesome memories, but we had the worst costumes.
• 2:03
  Well, like the masks, like I'm picturing the Smurf mask and like the plastic dress.
• 2:08
  Yes.
• 2:09
  Yeah.
• 2:09
  Yeah.
• 2:09
  Terrible.
• 2:10
  Yeah.
• 2:10
  Cabbage patch.
• 2:12
  Like, oh, yeah, oh, and the masks were all basically the same, just painted different.
• 2:17
  Yes.
• 2:18
  Oh my gosh.
• 2:18
  And thick.
• 2:19
  And they never fit right where they were supposed to on your face.
• 2:22
  kids are so lucky.
• 2:23
  Now they have the best costumes.
• 2:25
  They could be any, I mean, any, and the paint, the face paint in the, they put a, garbage bag basically on us.
• 2:32
  And you know, well down here, it's always hot on Halloween.
• 2:34
  So it's like you're wearing this thing sweltering in it.
• 2:37
  Yeah.
• 2:37
  And yeah, the mask that you can't breathe out of just trying to get, you know, 10 worth of candy.
• 2:42
  Oh my gosh.
• 2:43
  Yeah.
• 2:43
  I don't know.
• 2:44
  I just wish kids had that experience.
• 2:45
  I know.
• 2:45
  Well, I'm glad that a lot of kids do dress up and go, I keep thinking that it's Jackson's last year and then it's not.
• 2:52
  Yeah.
• 2:52
  Like he dresses up one more time.
• 2:53
  So I think he's probably done this year.
• 2:59
  I don't know, but he does go later.
• 3:01
  Like he lets the little kids go.
• 3:02
  And most of that is his schedule too.
• 3:04
  You know, he's got practice and stuff.
• 3:05
  So he, he goes later in the night when a lot of people are done or they dump the whole bowl in there.
• 3:10
  I'm like to Dylan last year, they went late I feel like they went last year.
• 3:15
  I don't, it might've been the year before, but, he didn't leave until late and then he came home and he had no candy.
• 3:22
  And I'm like, dude, like, where's your candy?
• 3:24
  And he's like, Oh, I just gave it to so and so.
• 3:26
  Like, I don't want, I'm not going to eat it.
• 3:27
  And I'm like, parent tax.
• 3:29
  Yes.
• 3:29
  Um, absolutely.
• 3:30
  You can give it away after I go through it, right.
• 3:33
  I need to get what I want and then feel free to give all the jawbreakers to somebody else.
• 3:37
  But, like, we've had this conversation about the parent tax.
• 3:41
  What do you like to get?
• 3:42
  Like, if, when, when you're looking through stuff, what are you going to grab?
• 3:45
  I love gummy stuff.
• 3:46
  so, gummy bears.
• 3:47
  Yeah, crawlies, all that stuff.
• 3:49
  Okay.
• 3:50
  I'm very much like a gummy girl.
• 3:52
  Swedish Fish?
• 3:53
  Yes, Sour Patch Kids.
• 3:55
  All of, all of that.
• 3:56
  Okay.
• 3:56
  I'm not a big jelly bean.
• 3:58
  Oh gosh, no, that goes.
• 3:59
  I hate candy corn.
• 4:00
  Yeah, yeah, I do too, but then sometimes I'll eat a little one piece for a random reason I'm like, well, that's tastes like wax, but I could eat some more Yeah, no, I immediately do like the jawbreakers, the gum any kind of candy corn, do you know those things?
• 4:18
  I don't even know what they're called.
• 4:19
  They're like caramel and they're in black and orange wrappers.
• 4:22
  Y'all like those?
• 4:23
  No idea what they are.
• 4:24
  Yeah.
• 4:25
  I like those.
• 4:25
  But I want all the chocolate.
• 4:27
  I mean, listen, I'm not going to turn down chocolate, but I, on the regular eat gummy.
• 4:34
  Like I don't go out and buy chocolate.
• 4:35
  Yeah.
• 4:36
  I go out and buy.
• 4:37
  Sour Patch Kids.
• 4:38
  Yeah.
• 4:38
  Or Swedish Fish.
• 4:39
  Gotcha.
• 4:40
  Well, I try not to take all of Jackson's Reese cups because that's his favorite too.
• 4:44
  Oh, you're not a Reese cup girl?
• 4:45
  I don't eat peanut butter and Okay.
• 4:48
  Ever since I got pregnant with Dylan.
• 4:49
  Yeah.
• 4:50
  Okay.
• 4:50
  I've not been able to eat peanut butter.
• 4:51
  Okay.
• 4:51
  And that goes along with peanut butter and chocolate.
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:54
  That's, you're very, you're very right.
• 4:56
  Well, so I need Jackson to go so at least I can get a handful of things.
• 5:02
  Our neighborhood gets a lot.
• 5:03
  Well, yes, it's hit or miss every year.
• 5:05
  Yeah, it's weird.
• 5:06
  but a lot of people come here to trick or treat because there's so many houses.
• 5:10
  That's kind of what we do.
• 5:11
  We go to other neighborhoods.
• 5:13
  I love Halloween.
• 5:13
  Yeah.
• 5:14
  I love everything about it.
• 5:15
  Yeah.
• 5:16
  Well, good.
• 5:16
  I'm, I'm.
• 5:17
  I want it to get cool out though.
• 5:19
  Oh, that's the only thing.
• 5:20
  I thought we were there.
• 5:21
  Yeah.
• 5:22
  I thought we were too.
• 5:22
  And today it was like, bam.
• 5:24
  Yep.
• 5:25
  So, let's just do a quick recap of the weekend.
• 5:28
  Yeah.
• 5:28
  If you don't mind.
• 5:29
  No.
• 5:29
  We don't have to go into detail because I think most of you know.
• 5:31
  People don't listen.
• 5:32
  I've already talked to in some way or another.
• 5:34
  But, okay.
• 5:35
  So Hurricane Helene did come through our area.
• 5:38
  We lost power Friday morning.
• 5:39
  How about you?
• 5:40
  Yes, you did.
• 5:41
  Like seven, eight o'clock.
• 5:42
  Yeah, exactly.
• 5:43
  And then we are on a well, so we had no water.
• 5:46
  Oh, so we were without until Sunday night.
• 5:49
  so it was what it was, you know, we were lucky enough to have a generator.
• 5:54
  So we were able to plug our deep freezer into that and, um, charge devices.
• 5:59
  and run a fan.
• 6:00
  So that was helpful.
• 6:02
  but you had it worse than me.
• 6:05
  Thursday started to feel sick.
• 6:08
  and I'm assuming it was flu.
• 6:09
  Yeah.
• 6:09
  and I did not start feeling better until like, Monday evening.
• 6:15
  That's so crazy.
• 6:16
  Y'all, I was so worried about Steph.
• 6:17
  My temperature was like 103.
• 6:20
  8 was the highest that I took.
• 6:22
  and that was after taking fever reducers.
• 6:25
  So it was rough.
• 6:26
  It was really rough with no power.
• 6:28
  Right.
• 6:28
  And, but listen, I am so thankful.
• 6:31
  Right.
• 6:31
  That that's all we had.
• 6:32
  and, and there's plenty of people in our, in our area that was way worse affected.
• 6:36
  There's way worse affected areas throughout the country.
• 6:39
  So I am not complaining.
• 6:41
  I am at all like, please don't take that.
• 6:44
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 6:44
  Don't.
• 6:45
  there are people in our area still without power and devastation with trees falling on houses and cars, et cetera.
• 6:51
  One street over, tree went right through the house.
• 6:54
  Oh, while there was a sleep in the, they were, nobody was injured.
• 6:58
  they had minor injuries, but they woke up with the roof coming down on them.
• 7:02
  My gosh, that's terrifying.
• 7:04
  I parked I didn't even know a hurricane was, I mean, I knew there, there was a hurricane, but like we never get hit.
• 7:08
  Not like that, like that.
• 7:09
  my car was parked underneath the trees.
• 7:12
  You were just begging for an insurance claim, but nothing happened.
• 7:17
  So again, not complaining at all.
• 7:20
  I'm so grateful that everybody is safe, in our area for the most part.
• 7:23
  And, I pray, for everybody that is in the devastation areas, North Carolina.
• 7:29
  and I think some areas of South Carolina are all just.
• 7:33
  Just gone.
• 7:34
  Especially the mountains.
• 7:35
  They're gone.
• 7:36
  That's bananas.
• 7:37
  It is.
• 7:37
  It is absurd.
• 7:39
  Well, it's, so it's the flooding.
• 7:41
  Yeah.
• 7:42
  Because they're in the valleys of the mountains, which is still, I know I made Brian explain it to me like three times.
• 7:46
  It just blew my mind.
• 7:48
  And then there's been mudslides and, and then they had more rain.
• 7:53
  This weekend at some point.
• 7:55
  So, we have been praying for them.
• 7:57
  I know there's several places to drop things off by the time this episode drops.
• 8:01
  Don't know where those spots will be, but you can find them all over Facebook.
• 8:04
  Yeah.
• 8:04
  but I dropped off some blankets the other day.
• 8:08
  My days are all running together right now.
• 8:09
  But.
• 8:10
  Praying for them and trying to help where we can.
• 8:12
  Yeah.
• 8:13
  that is the reason why we did not drop an episode last week.
• 8:17
  We are recording Wednesday this week because I leave on Friday to go to Florida to go to the retreat.
• 8:23
  Hopefully everything is still there.
• 8:25
  I haven't even checked.
• 8:26
  Yeah.
• 8:26
  Florida's fine.
• 8:27
  You're going to, it's going to be great.
• 8:28
  It's going to be great.
• 8:29
  You're going to come back just so glowy, revived.
• 8:34
  We'll see.
• 8:35
  Yeah, you know that or I'm going to be in like the depths of like sorrows.
• 8:39
  Oh, I think that might happen on Saturday.
• 8:42
  Not gonna fix me.
• 8:44
  You're not 100 percent broken.
• 8:47
  There's, they can fix you.
• 8:50
  It might not happen like that, but we can, we're all fixable.
• 8:54
  So we're recording Wednesday, which will drop on Tuesday if next week.
• 8:58
  the 8th, I believe.
• 8:59
  Yes.
• 8:59
  So, yeah.
• 9:00
  Cause when I was texting you dates, you were like, well, today is October 1st.
• 9:04
  And I was like, well, But I'm excited for our spooky month.
• 9:12
  Oh my gosh, me too.
• 9:13
  And I love our decor.
• 9:14
  Yes.
• 9:15
  If you are, um, not watching, um, we have decorated a little bit.
• 9:19
  Yep.
• 9:19
  You did a good job, Steph.
• 9:21
  It's very spooky.
• 9:22
  okay.
• 9:23
  So today we're doing ghosts.
• 9:25
  And we had a ghosty book.
• 9:26
  We did.
• 9:27
  We did have a ghosty book.
• 9:28
  And the name of that book was, The Haunting of Blackwood House by Darcy Coates.
• 9:33
  Yes So I'm gonna read a little blurb.
• 9:35
  Yep.
• 9:36
  Mara is the daughter of spiritualists.
• 9:38
  Her childhood was filled with seances, scam mediums, and talk of ghostly presences.
• 9:44
  When Mara finally left her family's home, she vowed she would never allow superstitions or false religion into her life again.
• 9:51
  Now she's ready to start over with her fiancé, Neil, in a world based on rationality and facts.
• 9:57
  But her past isn't ready to let it.
• 10:00
  Go for just yet.
• 10:01
  Mara and Neil purchase Blackwood House, a derelict property outside of town.
• 10:06
  They're warned about strange occurrences in the crumbling building doors open by themselves, voices whisper in the night, bloody hand.
• 10:13
  Prints appear on the walls and cold spots linger in the basement, where in the house's original owner was murdered, but Blackwood was dirt cheap and came with a large plot of overgrown land.
• 10:24
  Mara loves her new home and.
• 10:27
  Disregards the warnings because ghosts aren't real.
• 10:32
  Okay.
• 10:32
  Okay.
• 10:33
  We're going to spoilers.
• 10:34
  Okay.
• 10:34
  We're just going to start off with what?
• 10:36
  So it was a little cheesy to me.
• 10:39
  Yeah.
• 10:39
  Didn't read the blurb or anything.
• 10:40
  I just went into it.
• 10:42
  Totally blind.
• 10:43
  And I was a little bit annoyed by some of the language that she used.
• 10:47
  I was like, who says Fortnite?
• 10:50
  Yeah, well, it made me wonder if it was supposed to have been in England or something.
• 10:55
  Do they say that there?
• 10:56
  I think so.
• 10:57
  Still?
• 10:57
  In a fortnight.
• 10:57
  I don't know.
• 11:00
  Emma, chime in.
• 11:03
  but yeah, that it made me think about that.
• 11:05
  But the way that the, that Neil talked to her too.
• 11:09
  Yeah.
• 11:09
  Was, I'm like, well, when did this take place?
• 11:14
  Right.
• 11:14
  But then they had so many like, electronics.
• 11:17
  Yeah.
• 11:17
  Cellphones.
• 11:18
  Right.
• 11:19
  So that just threw me off really bad.
• 11:21
  Yeah, yeah.
• 11:22
  And that, it started with the fortnight in the beginning of the book.
• 11:25
  Yeah.
• 11:25
  where he says it'll take a fortnight to fix the house.
• 11:27
  Yeah.
• 11:27
  Something like that.
• 11:28
  Yeah, it got me too.
• 11:30
  And I was like, well, let's just roll with it.
• 11:33
  But that was my first thought was that it was.
• 11:35
  In England.
• 11:35
  And then like, yeah, like you said, the way that June talked to her and I was like, Oh, this is so weird.
• 11:39
  Yeah.
• 11:41
  so she annoyed me with her, super Uber independence, you know, almost like down on him anytime he wanted to help her.
• 11:50
  Yeah.
• 11:50
  and I understand why, like, I get like, She didn't want to owe anybody anything, but it just annoyed me.
• 11:56
  she was almost, super aggressive.
• 11:58
  She was.
• 11:59
  And it made me wonder, like, why are they, so they'd been dating what, like six months, I think it was so, but it made me wonder, like, okay, you don't really want this dude to be part of your life and like help you.
• 12:09
  That's part of being in a relationship is you work together and you know, you help each other and you, you know, you support each other, that kind of thing.
• 12:16
  So you don't want him to do that.
• 12:17
  And you guys don't have the same You know, fundamental belief system.
• 12:21
  What are we doing here?
• 12:22
  Yeah.
• 12:22
  Yeah.
• 12:23
  Why was there so much focus on her not liking healthy food?
• 12:28
  I thought that was gonna be like a relevance to this whole thing.
• 12:32
  Was there a focus on it?
• 12:33
  Yeah.
• 12:33
  Oh yeah.
• 12:34
  Yeah.
• 12:34
  When she threw this out.
• 12:35
  Oh yeah.
• 12:35
  But it was like every time I eat, he was trying to force her to eat these like, and again another difference where he's one thing I thought he was going to be involved.
• 12:44
  I thought it was his mom.
• 12:46
  Yeah, I really did.
• 12:47
  I thought that that's where it was going at first.
• 12:50
  but the author, it seemed to me pointed out every time they like, say it once, like she doesn't eat healthy.
• 12:55
  Okay.
• 12:56
  Right.
• 12:56
  Why 14 times in the book are they doing that?
• 13:00
  It's like a red herring.
• 13:01
  It's like, I'm focusing on that.
• 13:03
  I hate it when books do that.
• 13:04
  Like I'm wasting all my mind power on something that's irrelevant.
• 13:07
  So when they had started talking about Neil's mother moving in, I really thought like she was going to be this sweet aluminum and then obsessed and like start like climbing walls and like eating people.
• 13:15
  I think that that would have been a better book.
• 13:17
  I don't know.
• 13:18
  I feel like this book had the potential to be so good and twisted and, but it's like the ghosts were evil ish, but there was They're cute.
• 13:28
  Evil.
• 13:29
  Like they were not the ax thing, but I mean, they weren't like, I wanted like Poltergeist, you know, like, yeah.
• 13:38
  And then she moved in at the end and she's this sweet of woman and they all lived happily ever after.
• 13:42
  And I'm like, eh, I know.
• 13:45
  Yeah.
• 13:45
  I did guess the ending like you did Twin was him.
• 13:47
  I did.
• 13:48
  Yeah.
• 13:48
  100%.
• 13:49
  When they're trying to figure out which was the main demon.
• 13:52
  Yeah.
• 13:53
  What everyone calls.
• 13:53
  Yeah.
• 13:54
  I knew that had ghost.
• 13:55
  Yeah, I knew that.
• 13:56
  Yeah.
• 13:58
  They didn't get anything over on you did they?
• 13:59
  No, they didn't.
• 14:00
  This, this book was just not it for me.
• 14:04
  I am glad she called her mom at the end.
• 14:05
  Yes.
• 14:06
  And that kind of a little bit of resolution there or start to.
• 14:09
  Yeah.
• 14:10
  But I, it was, I know.
• 14:13
  Potential.
• 14:14
  It did so I'm on a couple of book Facebook pages and they're like Psychological thrillers and all this is what like the name of the page is and I found this on there And I was like, this is, this is not much of a thriller.
• 14:29
  Like my heart rate's not even going up.
• 14:30
  I could go to sleep listening to it.
• 14:32
  So it's not, it's not a, I gotta know what happens kind of thing.
• 14:38
  It is definitely not.
• 14:39
  It's just a little cheesy.
• 14:41
  You know what this is?
• 14:43
  This is a Hallmark movie.
• 14:45
  It's like a Hallmark Halloween movie.
• 14:47
  Minus, I mean, they wouldn't put the axe stuff in there, but.
• 14:50
  But I mean, yeah.
• 14:52
  And I got frustrated with the relationship in there.
• 14:55
  I was not a fan.
• 14:56
  It was fun to read something ghosty.
• 14:58
  Yeah.
• 14:59
  But I think.
• 15:00
  That we need to amp it up a little bit.
• 15:02
  Yeah, that was not it.
• 15:04
  No but I would give it like a four or five.
• 15:06
  Oh, yeah, but it was relatively short Yeah, I would like classify it almost as a mindless beach read Yeah, but in october An october beach trip read yeah, I would not recommend it.
• 15:21
  So do we want to amp up the twisted spookiness on things?
• 15:26
  Whatever.
• 15:26
  Okay.
• 15:27
  So, well, so next week is witches.
• 15:30
  So that book that we've chosen is the witch elm, elm, you say it.
• 15:37
  Elm?
• 15:38
  Yeah.
• 15:39
  Witch elm?
• 15:40
  Yeah.
• 15:41
  You're doing it better than me.
• 15:42
  I felt like it didn't sound like we're saying the same thing.
• 15:45
  I feel like I, the way I'm saying, I feel like it's not a real word.
• 15:47
  You know, like that happens to me all the time and I'm like, is this the right word?
• 15:52
  Or if I'm trying to spell something, like that does not look right.
• 15:54
  Especially if there's only three letters.
• 15:56
  I'm like, there's more than that.
• 15:57
  So The Witch Elm by Tara French.
• 16:00
  And I haven't started this one yet, have you?
• 16:02
  Uh uh.
• 16:03
  So let's start it and then if we get in a little bit and it's not enough, Let's amp it up and go for something else.
• 16:10
  Okay.
• 16:10
  All right.
• 16:11
  So temporarily.
• 16:12
  Yes.
• 16:13
  Is what we're doing.
• 16:13
  Yeah.
• 16:14
  We may switch it up though.
• 16:15
  Yes.
• 16:15
  Okay.
• 16:16
  That's okay.
• 16:17
  No, that's great.
• 16:18
  Because life's too short for bad books.
• 16:20
  Okay, cool.
• 16:21
  I'm excited for that.
• 16:22
  All right.
• 16:22
  Well, we had requested to our listeners, if they had any ghost stories.
• 16:25
  I'm filling up my ghosty cup.
• 16:28
  It's just tea.
• 16:28
  Don't get excited.
• 16:29
  I mean, excited, but not excited.
• 16:31
  So ghost story.
• 16:31
  So, we did have, a couple of listeners submits, Their real life encountered stories.
• 16:37
  So that was pretty awesome.
• 16:39
  do you want to read one?
• 16:40
  I'd love to read one.
• 16:41
  Okay.
• 16:42
  they did ask to remain anonymous and so we will not release those names, but we appreciate you guys submitting those to us and here we go.
• 16:51
  Yep.
• 16:51
  Okay.
• 16:52
  So this one is from Karen.
• 16:54
  No, I'm just kidding.
• 16:55
  I was like, wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm glad that we're respecting their privacy.
• 17:03
  Yes.
• 17:03
  Okay.
• 17:04
  Yeah, when I was two years old, my family lived in what we later discovered was a haunted house.
• 17:08
  At first, we had no idea of strange things would happen at night.
• 17:12
  We'd hear cupboards closing, footsteps on the stairs.
• 17:15
  and even voices downstairs, though no one was there.
• 17:18
  My sister and I both felt uneasy in certain parts of the house, especially the closet in our bedroom.
• 17:24
  My grandma always said there was something eerie about that room.
• 17:27
  My mom said that I wouldn't let her dress me by putting clothes over my head.
• 17:30
  I had to step into them.
• 17:33
  What made things even stranger was that my sister and I both told our mom there was a dog sitting at the foot of our bed, though she never saw anything.
• 17:40
  Eventually, we learned the chilling history of the house.
• 17:42
  Dun, dun Dun.
• 17:44
  The previous owner, a police officer, had tragically lost control and killed his wife and daughter.
• 17:49
  He hung his daughter by her nightgown in the closet of our bedroom.
• 17:54
  He also killed the family dog then himself.
• 17:57
  The pieces started to come together explaining the eerie feelings we all had.
• 18:03
  Not the dog.
• 18:04
  I mean, I feel horrible about the kid too, but I know.
• 18:08
  The dog.
• 18:09
  I know.
• 18:09
  Come on.
• 18:10
  That's crazy.
• 18:13
  That.
• 18:15
  Yeah.
• 18:15
  Like, the feeling to not even want to put something over your head that you have to step into it because of that.
• 18:21
  Mm hmm.
• 18:22
  And seeing a dog.
• 18:24
  Woo! That's not there.
• 18:25
  A ghost dog.
• 18:26
  A ghost dog?
• 18:28
  Yeah.
• 18:30
  All right.
• 18:31
  Here is the second story.
• 18:33
  This one's like super creepy too.
• 18:35
  Okay.
• 18:35
  when I was younger and lived in our apartment, there was always a lot of bad vibes, almost evil.
• 18:40
  Like, okay, I know you You know me, Steph, and this is no lie.
• 18:46
  Obviously, this is one of my people.
• 18:49
  When I was young, I would always see a large dark shadow standing in the hallway at night.
• 18:54
  Sometimes I would see it sitting in a chair.
• 18:56
  If I woke up and saw it in the chair, I would sneak by if I needed to go to the bathroom.
• 19:01
  This is in the middle of the night.
• 19:02
  If I got up and saw this standing in the hallway, I would pee the bed before going out of the room.
• 19:09
  I never told anyone in my family about this.
• 19:11
  Fast forward 20 something years, it was either Thanksgiving or Christmas, and the whole family is over And talking and my older brothers and sisters were talking about where we grew up.
• 19:21
  And then I heard them talking about the shadow person that used to walk the house and sit in the chairs when we were kids.
• 19:28
  The feeling that came over me.
• 19:29
  I cannot explain.
• 19:30
  I went into the room just to confirm.
• 19:33
  They said yes, and they were told never to say anything to the three youngest because my mom didn't want us to freak out.
• 19:38
  Like I said, I never told anyone thought I would share.
• 19:42
  Crazy.
• 19:44
  But don't, you know, she feels, or he feels so validated.
• 19:48
  Yeah.
• 19:48
  Yeah.
• 19:49
  I am like, not like a secret keeper and there's no way I would not think I was just seeing things like I would be like, I'm losing my mind.
• 19:58
  Listen, I would have went and screaming through the house.
• 20:02
  I wouldn't be calm, just avoiding the evil spirit.
• 20:05
  I would be literally running through the house screaming.
• 20:10
  I am not a calm Oh, no, no.
• 20:14
  No.
• 20:15
  No, no.
• 20:16
  So if you were with like the book, you know, she had to stay calm because the ghost would feed off of her energy.
• 20:22
  No, I am not it.
• 20:26
  I am not a calm person.
• 20:28
  I am the overreactor.
• 20:30
  no, I do overreact a lot.
• 20:32
  Like with Brian does something or if I stubbed my toe, I fall on the floor and like do a somersault.
• 20:37
  Like it is total overreaction with that kind of stuff.
• 20:40
  so I do overreact, but I would just think I was the one losing it.
• 20:44
  I am not good in a crisis pressure.
• 20:47
  Okay.
• 20:47
  No, I'm not the person you want with you.
• 20:51
  No, let me put that down real quick.
• 20:53
  I'll throw that.
• 20:53
  So other than the only time that like, and I kept my cool until I knew he was okay.
• 20:59
  And then I totally lost it.
• 21:00
  But when Dylan had that second surgery for his tonsils, and we didn't, He was just like, blood was just kept coming up and it was just, I was covered in blood.
• 21:08
  He was covered in blood, the hospital.
• 21:11
  and I didn't keep calm until I knew the doctors had him.
• 21:16
  And then I lost it.
• 21:17
  Yeah.
• 21:18
  I'm okay.
• 21:18
  I don't lose it now.
• 21:19
  It affects it.
• 21:20
  Definitely.
• 21:20
  It hits me later.
• 21:21
  And I'm either like, what the crap?
• 21:23
  Or did that really just happen?
• 21:24
  But in the, in the moment, I'm okay.
• 21:27
  I would be running through the house.
• 21:28
  I would be losing it.
• 21:29
  Yeah.
• 21:30
  Well, and the ghost would probably be scared of me.
• 21:33
  Scared of you'd never come back.
• 21:34
  No.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:35
  We'll see if this person would have just done that.
• 21:37
  They could have solved all this problem for everybody.
• 21:39
  Well, that, that is, that is a creepy story.
• 21:42
  And I don't feel like me and my siblings would keep quiet.
• 21:45
  Don't I don't think like I don't know if I've ever told my sister about seeing my grandma now We've talked about seeing my dad, you know walking that's past But I don't know if I've ever told her that I've seen my grandma.
• 21:55
  I'll ask her.
• 21:56
  We all just run our mouths too much There's no secrets in my family.
• 22:00
  Like it's more of a just like hey, I forgot to tell you Saw our dead Nana, that's a spooky one.
• 22:09
  By the way.
• 22:09
  Yeah.
• 22:10
  Right.
• 22:11
  That is, that's a spooky one.
• 22:12
  Yeah.
• 22:12
  So, well, thank you guys for submitting those, ghost stories all month long, if anybody else wants to.
• 22:18
  Yes.
• 22:18
  Send us any kind of spooky story.
• 22:20
  Yeah.
• 22:20
  Spooky story.
• 22:21
  Yeah.
• 22:22
  Oh, okay, girl.
• 22:25
  So, you know, I was like moving.
• 22:27
  Yeah.
• 22:28
  And, I found this link and it's the top 10 crimes committed by ghosts according to list first..
• 22:34
  So these are the top 10.
• 22:36
  Okay.
• 22:36
  Number 10, indecent exposure.
• 22:40
  Having sex in another person's living room would definitely earn you a sentence for indecent exposure and maybe breaking and entering.
• 22:47
  Diane Carlisle of Eastlid, Ohio.
• 22:51
  Mm hmm.
• 22:52
  Claims that two ghosts were having sex in her home leaving her and her family members the unwilling voyeurs.
• 22:58
  Oh my gosh She says that the ghosts are clearly Copulating and she can even see the lady's high heeled shoes Diana is no stranger to ghost apparitions her deceased sister Contacted her via phone leaving her a message that simply said I love you And she has seen ghosts in mirrors and playing with her daughter that would freak me out.
• 23:19
  Yeah You As for the Phantom Lovemakers, they were snapped in the act by Carlisle's four year old granddaughter, Kimora, while the little girl was playing with her, a cell phone.
• 23:30
  Diane is astonished by the hanky panky going on in the living room as anyone saying, I never seen anything like this.
• 23:38
  I mean, ghosts still have feelings?
• 23:41
  They're having sex Says that the ghostly activity in her home has not lessened with time, but has actually increased.
• 23:51
  Oh my gosh She's got like a brothel They're ho ghosts, All right.
• 23:57
  Ghost theft number nine.
• 23:59
  Okay.
• 24:01
  You wouldn't think a former police officer charged with upholding the law would be the one to commit massive theft, but that's what Joseph Hughes of Mount Gilead, Ohio, was convicted of back in 2011.
• 24:13
  But did he do it or was it the work of something from the other side?
• 24:17
  Hughes claimed that the stolen goods found stockpiled in his basement, including several air conditioners and a generator, were stolen Were put there by a ghost it's going to sound kind of ridiculous But we believe that there was some kind of paranormal presence in the basement.
• 24:31
  He said in court.
• 24:32
  it sounds kind of ridiculous, but there was evidence to support it.
• 24:35
  Though prosecutors were stunned by the creepy defense, they ultimately didn't buy it and Hughes was found guilty of 18 out of 20 charges.
• 24:43
  But they didn't tell us what the evidence is.
• 24:47
  Come on dude, why would a ghost need air conditioning and generators?
• 24:51
  I don't know.
• 24:51
  Do you want to do this one?
• 24:52
  I'd love to.
• 24:53
  Number eight.
• 24:55
  Lisa and Phil Wrigley of Clifton Nottingham.
• 24:58
  Oh, I gotta do my accent.
• 24:59
  Were so angry about a series of attacks on their vehicles that they set up home cameras to catch the culprits in the act, but they got more than they bargained for.
• 25:07
  At about 1.
• 25:08
  30 a.
• 25:08
  m.
• 25:09
  on August 1, 2012, one of the cameras caught what looked like a child's Spirit in orb form, glowing white and wearing a hoodie, jumping over the roofs of their cars.
• 25:19
  The couple was shocked.
• 25:20
  Even skeptical Phil admitted, I am cynical about ghosts because I don't believe in them, but this footage is strange.
• 25:27
  Lisa added that she was absolutely gobsmacked by this.
• 25:31
  I've got the footage here.
• 25:32
  It's the image of a young child about four or five.
• 25:35
  It's a ghost.
• 25:35
  It's got to be.
• 25:37
  Ms.
• 25:37
  Wrigley was especially convinced.
• 25:39
  Oh, I just lost the accent, but it was no ordinary child because their dog always barks if there are people around But it did not wake the family that night the Wrigley's ultimately decided not to pursue the ghost for criminal damages After they could find no marks on the cars following the incident.
• 25:54
  Well, that was Ghost harassment number seven.
• 25:59
  Ha ha ha ha ha.
• 26:01
  Harassment of any kind is annoying enough, but to not even be able to see your bullies?
• 26:07
  One Saudi Arabian family, thought that was going too far and actually took it all the way to court when they sued the genie irritating their household.
• 26:15
  Ha ha ha.
• 26:16
  The spectral harassment went on for some time, with unruly spirits making life practically intolerable.
• 26:23
  Citing everything from threatening voicemails to the theft of their mobile phones, the family had had enough.
• 26:29
  When the ghosts, in classic schoolyard fashion, began throwing stones at the children.
• 26:34
  The court gamely tried to verify the family's claims of paranormal pestering Despite the difficulty of bringing a harassment suit against the undead.
• 26:42
  Oh my god What are we doing here?
• 26:49
  Why are they throwing stones at kids?
• 26:51
  Right.
• 26:51
  Oh, I want to read this one.
• 26:54
  Ghost disorderly conduct a team nabbed in 2006 for swearing at officers and generally causing uproar had the unique defense that the foul mouth voice heard by cops wasn't his, but that of a disembodied pirate ghost, Thomas McGare, 18 of Glasgow, Scotland.
• 27:12
  Oh, I'm not doing that accent.
• 27:13
  Blurt it out.
• 27:14
  It wasn't me.
• 27:14
  It was the pirate as he was being collared and charged.
• 27:19
  Sheriff.
• 27:19
  Rajni Swani was intrigued by the odd story, and McGare's lawyer, Andrew Kennedy, said in court that his client was in a state of agitation because he claims he had just seen a ghost.
• 27:32
  Though McGare admitted to a breach of the peace, he denies being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and maintains that a ghostly influence was to blame.
• 27:41
  When last heard from, his sentence had been deferred.
• 27:44
  So, was he, like, speaking in, like, pirate speak?
• 27:47
  Or was he, like, in a swear?
• 27:49
  Or was it, like, his Scottish accent?
• 27:52
  And, like, he was just, like, swearing at the cops?
• 27:57
  And was he using, like, old timey pirate, like, swearing?
• 28:00
  Or was it new swearing?
• 28:02
  He was like, go get the doubloons, mate! If I ever yell at the cops A police officer, I'm gonna do it in a pirate accent.
• 28:11
  And you're gonna tell them it was the pirate.
• 28:15
  That'll, that'll, but a male pirate or a female pirate?
• 28:19
  Well, you know what?
• 28:20
  I don't know.
• 28:21
  I think we could get, we could get by with the female pirate more.
• 28:26
  What did I even think that was a good thing to say?
• 28:28
  Girl pirates.
• 28:29
  Girl pirate.
• 28:30
  They're pretty, they're pretty tough.
• 28:31
  They are.
• 28:32
  Yeah.
• 28:33
  Girl pirate.
• 28:34
  Yeah.
• 28:36
  So, if you ever have to bail me out, it was the girl pirate.
• 28:40
  It was the girl pirate.
• 28:40
  Gotcha.
• 28:41
  Ghost assault.
• 28:44
  This is number five.
• 28:45
  Sometimes a haunting is merely a pain in the emotional sense, but sometimes it goes a bit further than that.
• 28:50
  A French family from, I'm not going to even try.
• 28:53
  Somewhere in France.
• 28:55
  Yeah.
• 28:55
  Said that ghosts in their home have escalated into full blown assault.
• 29:00
  One household member was injured so badly that he had to be hospitalized after being hit in the face by a flying chair and A soap tray to the back.
• 29:10
  A failing friend visiting the house also had to seek medical attention after being hit by stones thrown by the petulant spirits.
• 29:17
  Local officials took the claim seriously enough to remove the family from their home, offering them temporary housing at a nearby campsite.
• 29:25
  The family says that they are currently working with an exorcist from a local church who has been visiting their house and attempting to cleanse it of its angry spooks.
• 29:35
  Soap Tray.
• 29:36
  How dare they?
• 29:37

  Oh me either But if I had to pick a ghost, I want a happy ghost.

  He just looks like he's a butthead.
• 30:52
  Oh, yeah.
• 30:52
  When an argument about family finances between Wisconsin man, Michael West and his wife got out of control, she called the police and reported that West had beat, punched her in the face and tried to strangle her.
• 31:03
  When police arrived at the couple's home, they noticed that the woman was crying that they.
• 31:07
  And there appeared to be blood on the front of her shirt.
• 31:09
  When questioned, West initially claimed that his wife sustained injuries by repeatedly falling, but later changed his story, claiming that a ghost did it.
• 31:18
  This explanation did not prove to be satisfactory to the arresting officers who charged him with strangulation, battery, and disorderly conduct.
• 31:26
  After a struggle, West was transported to county lockup and his wife, one would hope, to therapy.
• 31:31
  Okay, that just sounds like he was just grasping.
• 31:33
  Totally.
• 31:34
  That's not even worth it.
• 31:35
  No.
• 31:36
  Ghost.

  Let's find out.
• 31:45
  This one is an example of crime happening to a criminal.
• 31:49
  And perhaps.
• 31:49
  Of Cosmic Karma.

• 33:38
  Jaya was already dead and Paya would succumb to her injuries at a nearby hospital.

• 35:11
  and the family is saying that it's not hers, like her family, but people are saying that they're scared of Diddy.
• 35:19
  And that's why they're saying it's not because a lot of the things that line up with, like, Actual events we know did happen.
• 35:25
  Okay.
• 35:25
  I didn't want to spend 25 and I wanted to read it, but I was not spending 5 on it.

  Yeah.
• 35:53
  I'll link it for everybody in the show notes and I'll send you that directly.
• 35:56
  It's in like nine parts or 10 parts.
• 35:57
  So it's broken down.
• 35:58
  So it's not overwhelming.
• 36:00
  but she does every chapter and Recaps it awesome.
• 36:03
  Have you listened to all of them?
• 36:04
  I did.
• 36:05
  Okay.

  Oh, yeah.
• 36:06
  Yeah, it was awesome.
• 36:09
  So in the last episode we had said that there's some speculation with the relationship between pock and diddy.
• 36:17
  Yes.
• 36:18
  And that might have been cause for right.
• 36:21
  Um, so this book says that Kim and did his relationship was very, very, open and well, open for him to tell her what she was supposed to do.
• 36:32
  Okay.
• 36:33
  People and him and group activities.
• 36:36
  Okay.
• 36:37
  yeah.
• 36:37
  But she was intimate with pac.
• 36:40
  Oh.
• 36:41
  And he did, he wanted to be, and Pac was like, oh hell no.
• 36:46
  We don't do that here.
• 36:48
  Like, what are you doing?
• 36:49
  Yeah.
• 36:49
  and basically, he was like, oh, well let's see, you know, who can do this better?
• 36:53
  Like, let's just do it right now in front of each other and like that kind of vibe.
• 36:57
  Oh my God.

  Vibe.
• 36:58
  And he was like, dude, like, no.
• 36:59
  Like I don't get down like that.
• 37:00
  Mm-Hmm.
• 37:01
  But Kim was getting down with Pac and Diddy didn't like that.
• 37:06
  He was jealous of, because he wanted to be with Pac.
• 37:09
  Allegedly.
• 37:09
  He wanted, he wanted some.
• 37:11
  Yeah.
• 37:12
  It also said in this book that Biggie and Pac were starting their own label.
• 37:18
  Like I knew Biggie was planning on leaving the label.
• 37:20
  And it was like a week after he dies when he was supposed to go.
• 37:25
  This book says that pop was and biggie were leaving their respective labels and starting their own.
• 37:33
  I believe that.
• 37:35
  So, like, I mean, that just shows you oh, the whatever the beef between those 2.
• 37:39
  it was not legit.
• 37:40
  Right?
• 37:41
  And this was all P.
• 37:42
  Diddy, if you were to believe everything in this book, which a lot of it It feels real.

  Have you heard this drama talk with, this like surviving brave powers?
• 38:53
  I don't think so.
• 38:54
  Did you see that video?
• 38:55
  It was a student and he was like, I'm done dating.
• 38:58
  And he was talking about, he was on like this Mormon dating app and he's no longer practicing Mormon, but like he's on this app because he, like, those are like the values he likes in a woman and whatever.
• 39:08
  So he was trying to find.
• 39:10
  He's like a single dad.
• 39:12
  He's in the military.
• 39:12
  So he's like, Oh my gosh, I was on this app.
• 39:15
  I, admittedly, I'm not practicing.
• 39:18
  I found this woman that I just thought was beautiful.
• 39:20
  We did not link, but I saw her and she's just beautiful.
• 39:25
  And she had her information on her profile, like her phone number, her place of business, whatever, all of her info out there for everybody red flag.
• 39:34
  So He texts her and she owns, like a teeth whitening business and in Utah, this is all in Utah.
• 39:41
  And, He texts her and he's like, Hey, I saw that you're on this dating app.
• 39:45
  we didn't link up, but I would like to get my teeth whitened.
• 39:48
  If you happen to think that I'm cute or, you know, we get along and you want to go on a date and that would be cool.
• 39:52
  Yeah.
• 39:53
  And she's like, okay, well, come down now, for this appointment, it's 199.
• 39:58
  And he was like, well, I just got out, like I'm in my uniform.
• 40:03
  Is there somewhere I can change blah, blah, blah.
• 40:05
  she was like, yeah, just come down, come down.
• 40:07
  And he's like, all right, well, um, head that way in a little bit.
• 40:12
  Well, I guess it took her, took him too long to get there because she starts texting him.
• 40:17
  Like you're, you're wasting my time.
• 40:20
  In the meantime, he's like in contact with her texting.
• 40:23
  Like, Hey, do you know if there's like places to park around you?
• 40:25
  Or is there a parking lot?
• 40:27
  Like just like in contact with her, didn't just like stop texting.
• 40:32
  So it was like 45 minutes, an hour after he had initially contacted her and she's like, you're wasting my time.
• 40:39
  This is, you know, BS.
• 40:40
  I, I'm not waiting.
• 40:42
  I'm not like wasting my time anymore on this.
• 40:44
  You owe me a hundred dollars for no show fee.
• 40:46
  Okay.
• 40:47
  And so he is actually there at this point.
• 40:49
  He gets out and he's like, Hey, I'm here.
• 40:50
  And she comes outside and starts screaming at him recording.
• 40:55
  This whole thing, right?
• 40:57
  And so she's like, you're going to be banned from, from Utah dating everything.
• 41:03
  And I'm going to put it out there.
• 41:05
  No, you're not going to have any woman date you in the state of Utah cuckoo, like, yeah.
• 41:11
  She thinks this is a flex, that she's putting this out there.
• 41:14
  So he's like getting in his car.
• 41:16
  She's like, let me see your license.
• 41:18
  This is, you know, dah, dah, dah.
• 41:19
  I I'm going to go after you for this a hundred dollars, like cancellation.
• 41:23
  Oh my goodness.
• 41:24
  Yeah.
• 41:24
  She was cuckoo.
• 41:25
  So he was like, bro, like I'm done dating.
• 41:29
  Like this is, yeah.
• 41:31
  now admittedly, I think it's weird that He contacted her for this teeth whitening, trying to get a date when they didn't match.
• 41:37
  They clearly didn't have I don't think it's too weird.
• 41:40
  I think it's, I mean, I just, I've been creeped out a little bit.
• 41:43
  Like she put her info out there for everybody.
• 41:45
  I agree.
• 41:46
  I, but I just, that's not your thing.
• 41:48
  I get it.
• 41:48
  I would creep me out.
• 41:50
  So she puts out the video, like this big flex, cause he had put initially said like, Oh my God, this is what happened.
• 41:55
  She puts out this video and she's like, he stalked me and did it out.
• 41:59
  It was all within like an hour and a half.
• 42:00
  It was not this stalking situation.
• 42:03
  Right.
• 42:04
  So all these people, right.
• 42:06
  Taking dude side, yeah, he put out the receipts with timestamps, everything cause she was like, he's stalking me.
• 42:11
  He's this, he's that.
• 42:12
  He's like, no chick, here's all the receipts.

• 42:22
  This chick is nuts.
• 42:24
  Like she's done some of this before.
• 42:26
  She's a horrible human being.
• 42:28
  There's actually a TikTok page made now called surviving Brie powers.
• 42:33
  Oh my gosh.
• 42:34
  And it's all these people like that did videos of like the horrible things that she did.
• 42:37

  Cause it's all alleged, sold for 500 to, her group of friends for the night.
• 42:47
  She, this chick woke up, she was in the car with her and she was like, yeah, let's go see if my ex boyfriend's at this place, this club.
• 42:56
  Doesn't remember getting out of the car goodness and then woke up with her clothes ripped Obviously knowing something wasn't right.
• 43:03
  She called one of her police officer friends He took her to the hospital to get a kit done and Oh my gosh and then she got text messages from I guess mutual friends.
• 43:14
  This chick was bragging about selling there was several instances of people being drugged by her, stole that, like, I think it was like 15, 000 from one of her friends who needed that money to like catch up on her rent and whatever her, her boyfriend had given her like this lump sum to catch up on her rent.
• 43:36
  Brie was with her when she got the money.
• 43:39
  So she knew where like the envelope was that day and money just like up and walked away.
• 43:44
  Dude had serial numbers of all it, cause he got this large amount out.
• 43:48
  And so he went to the bank to see if they had the serial numbers of all the bills.
• 43:52
  and one of Brie's friends sent this poor girl, Picture, that Brie had sent with all of the money fanned out that she was going to buy a car or going to buy whatever.
• 44:04
  Yeah.
• 44:04
  And the serial numbers all matched up.
• 44:09
  I mean, she was just like a crappy human being.
• 44:12
  Yeah.
• 44:13
  Complete no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
• 44:15
  No.
• 44:15
  So now she's like all over, I cannot believe there's a page, a whole page dedicated to, so she's has to be at court for something else, like, so Yeah.
• 44:24
  Well, several people showed up to the court and'cause they wanted to talk to the prosecutor and let the prosecutor know like, Hey, this is, this is the person she is, she is.
• 44:33
  She saw these people at court.
• 44:35
  This is just this week.
• 44:36
  Saw people at court and she like threw a fit in court because she saw All these people that she has wronged this threw a fit and stormed out of court And all the judge did was reschedule her court date like didn't put her in contempt nothing Okay, they need to look at her history and they need to look at all these people that you know stuff has happened to and Use that hopefully Hopefully they do.
• 45:04

  Oh, yeah.
• 45:06

• 45:43
  Trashed apartments and left like roommates there to deal with it all my god Just a trash human being he sounds like she's straight garbage.
• 45:50
  So She sucks.
• 45:53
  Yeah.
• 45:55
  Ready for y'all.
• 45:58
  Uh, 29 female, my sister in law, 42 female, inherited her dad's old farmhouse back some years ago after his passing.
• 46:08
  And for the past month, she has been renovating the place.
• 46:11
  She asked for me and my husband's help as her husband has a bad back and can't do much.
• 46:17
  So my husband, myself, and our three kids have been staying at this house with her for the past couple of weeks.
• 46:24
  The house isn't in bad shape or anything and most of the issues we are running into is plumbing or cosmetic.
• 46:30
  The frame, walls, roof are solid, which is impressive considering the age and how long it's been in the family, built in the late 1800s.
• 46:37
  Spooky just in that sentence.
• 46:40
  I don't know.
• 46:42
  I do want to point out that I am in no way paranormally inclined.
• 46:46
  I can't see things or anything like that, but I can sense stuff.
• 46:50
  So basically you're average person.
• 46:51
  I'm not afraid of it, but something is definitely off about this house beyond your expected old house sounds like.
• 46:59
  Lights turning on and off by themselves, doors opening and closing, or leaving something somewhere and it being in a completely different spot when you go back to get it.
• 47:07
  Like yesterday, I put a hammer on the windowsill and went to grab the paint scraper by the door.
• 47:13
  And when I turned back around, the hammer was on top of the ladder behind me, which I wasn't near.
• 47:18
  Or my favorite not it's irritating I have opened a can of soda and taken one sip of it and when I get back to the soda It's gone and no my kids aren't in the room with me when this stuff happens.
• 47:30
  I'm all alone when it does But last night was weird.
• 47:34
  I woke up Several times to the sensation of being shaken and the last two times I could vividly hear the word Hey close to my ear.
• 47:43
  My husband and kids were all sleeping.
• 47:45
  So this morning over coffee I made some backhanded comment of your house is haunted and sister in law freaked out Tells me to shut up and I'm an a hole for putting that in her head I didn't even tell her what happened, but now she doesn't want to go back in the house and Has been working on the yard.
• 48:02
  She says I completely ruined her idea of this house and should have kept my mouth shut.
• 48:07
  Am I the a hole?
• 48:09
  No.
• 48:10
  No.
• 48:10
  No.
• 48:13
  She wasn't, she didn't know it was gonna trigger this chick.
• 48:16
  No, she didn't, but She's been there for weeks.
• 48:20
  helping.
• 48:20
  So my thought is the sister in law probably knows something's going on.
• 48:24
  Yeah.
• 48:24
  Like she feels it too.
• 48:26
  She just didn't want confirmation that somebody else is feeling it, you know.
• 48:29
  I would have said something like the first time the hammer moved.
• 48:33
  Maybe it depends on Again, I, I, I don't keep secrets.
• 48:37
  Well, and maybe it depends on how she said it.
• 48:39
  Like if she, you Well, it sounds like she just said, Ugh, your house is haunted or, you know, like, it doesn't sound like it was, like, malicious and Yeah, yeah.
• 48:47
  Like, I'm out of here.
• 48:48
  Like, it was It was like I swear your house is haunted.
• 48:51
  Yeah.
• 48:51
  Like I keep losing stuff.
• 48:54
  She said she didn't even give any examples.
• 48:56
  She just said your house is haunted.
• 48:57
  Maybe not an a hole, but I don't know if that's something that I would just say, but it's her sister in law.
• 49:07
  Yeah.
• 49:08
  I don't know about this.
• 49:09
  Well, Reddit says that she is a hole, but I don't think she is.
• 49:13
  Don't think it's like that bad.
• 49:14
  To me, it's like the same thing as saying, geez, your house is ugly.
• 49:20
  Your house, your house is, I don't know.
• 49:22
  Like, I mean, if they have that good of a relationship that they're staying at this house, I don't think, I mean, I would think that they're on a good enough good terms, terms to make a sideways comment.
• 49:33
  But, but the thing too, is it bothered her enough.
• 49:37
  That she felt like she wanted to, I mean, that would freak, that would freak me out.
• 49:41
  If I feel somebody whispering in my ear and shaking me, I'm done.
• 49:45
  shiver me timbers.
• 49:53
  Was it the pirate?
• 49:54
  Yes.
• 49:57
  Yeah.
• 49:57
  I don't, I have mixed emotions on this one.
• 49:59
  I think if there, Close enough that she's okay with asking the entire family to come and come and live with me and help me get this house Yeah, I should be able to say whatever I want to say if I'm spending my time Yeah, I'll say that too.
• 50:12
  I see that perspective.
• 50:13
  I'm just I'm just not gonna Vote on this one.
• 50:18
  Oh, don't be wishy washy.
• 50:19
  Oh, I can't help it.
• 50:21
  I told you I didn't take my medicine This is the second one.
• 50:25
  Am I the a hole for not participating in a ghost removal ritual and upsetting my friend?
• 50:29
  I, 19 male, have been living with a close friend, 19 female, for roughly six months now.
• 50:35
  We've known each other since we were toddlers, but her recent change in behavior is totally new to me.
• 50:40
  She's typically a rational person and doesn't even believe in harmless stuff like astrology.
• 50:45
  Let alone paranormal activity.
• 50:47
  Wait, stop right there.
• 50:48
  Okay.
• 50:49
  Just because a person believes in paranormal activity doesn't mean that they're not rational.
• 50:53
  Mm hmm.
• 50:53
  So, Screw you.
• 50:55
  Yeah, that's that's a pretty judgmental statement.
• 50:57
  They just said mr.
• 50:58
  Judgey pants.
• 50:59
  Mm hmm.
• 51:00
  Okay a couple of months ago She started claiming that a bad spirit moved to our place.
• 51:05
  This caused her to be scared, especially at nighttime I told her I don't believe in ghosts and she said my opinion didn't matter and that the ghost was With us every day Her first solution was to follow advice she found online to get rid of bad entities, stuff like Burning Sage, etc.
• 51:20
  Then her next idea was for us to share a room because she said that the bad spirit would not bother us this way.
• 51:25
  She wants an excuse to get in his bed.
• 51:28
  She's trying to be like the, the, the naughty, the naughty ghost.
• 51:33
  Something about our aura.
• 51:36
  Repelling the negativity.
• 51:38
  I was okay with sharing a room, but she even wanted to share a bed, which we haven't done before, and I was honestly surprised with her.
• 51:44
  Eventually, I slept on the floor because I didn't want her to feel awkward.
• 51:48
  She told me about her latest ghost removal ritual a few days ago and wanted me to participate.
• 51:52
  Basically, she made a shampoo using natural ingredients, now wants both of us to use it every night.
• 51:57
  She claims it has light properties, thinks she means good, and that will disgust the foul spirits.
• 52:04
  I told her I might use it once or twice, but definitely not every night.
• 52:07
  She got upset.
• 52:09
  She said, if I was a decent friend, I would show basic kindness and help her fight the spirits.
• 52:14
  She said that she's doing it for both of us.
• 52:15
  And then I should just suck it up and do it every night before we go to sleep.
• 52:20
  We had a big argument and she wants to take that shower together.
• 52:23
  Yes.
• 52:24
  And she wants it.
• 52:24
  So, yes, we had a big argument and she called me unreliable, awful, hostile.
• 52:31
  friend and a snitch.
• 52:33
  I don't know how I'm a snitch, but okay.
• 52:35
  And guess what?
• 52:36
  She told all her female friends who agreed that I'm an a hole for not helping her out.
• 52:40
  I came in and described how I was thrashed in their group chat.
• 52:44
  Who's the a hole here?
• 52:45
  Am I really bad for not using the shampoo and dismissing her ghost ritual?
• 52:49
  No.
• 52:50
  No.
• 52:50
  But she wants you?
• 52:56
  Did she show him the group chat?
• 52:58
  Probably.
• 52:59
  Because, how else?
• 53:01
  Would he know that he was threshed in the group chat?
• 53:04
  She showed him.
• 53:05
  She was like, see all my friends think you're an a hole too.
• 53:07
  She, she wants him.
• 53:08
  Oh, bad.
• 53:09
  She wants to be more than friends.
• 53:10
  She wants to wash her hair and snuggle in bed.
• 53:12
  And she told all her friends.
• 53:15
  She wants to wash something.
• 53:20
  Well, maybe you should use this shampoo all over.
• 53:23
  What, I want to know what's in the shampoo.
• 53:25
  Probably like essential oils.
• 53:27
  Yeah.
• 53:27

• 53:31
  Lavender.
• 53:33

• 53:35
  You are not that hello dude.
• 53:37
  Oh, geez.
• 53:38
  Oh, no, I don't think you're the a hole.
• 53:40

• 53:44
  Canoodle you, buddy.
• 53:45
  Yeah, she wants to canoodle.
• 53:47
