What's the topic? We were going to leave this
0:04
in the past. We were supposed to leave that in
0:07
2025, Angela. You click record on the first episode
0:13
we were recording in the new year. We had one
0:15
debut, launch, whatever, on the first, but we
0:19
obviously didn't record it on the first. The
0:21
very first words. No, I meant... i was saying
0:25
that as to like let's get into the topic sure
0:28
let's start with a moment of silence i said silence
0:39
you're the only one talking i i hear infrasound
0:44
oh sure That's what I imagine happens when people
0:58
use ghost frequency. Are we sure we want to keep
1:04
all this in? Okay, whatever. That's what I...
1:08
That's what I... Jesus Christ. Welcome to our
1:12
podcast, where we take deep dives looking at
1:14
various topics through a paranormal lens. It's
1:19
been like two minutes already, and instead of...
1:24
answering what the topic was in the intro, I
1:25
think we result in everyone listening to us asking,
1:29
in unison, what's the topic? Oh, did you want
1:34
us to say that in unison? No, because you know
1:37
that scares me when you guys do your Shining
1:39
Sisters thing. But already in this intro, we
1:42
had Angela asking what the topic was. We gave
1:45
it a moment of silence. We... Ben screamed. If
1:50
that's what you want to call it, it was more
1:52
like a stroke or something. That's what it looked
1:56
like. That is what it looked like, honestly.
2:00
We're talking about the ghost frequency. Or,
2:05
in scientific terms, infrasound. Or, in specific
2:10
terms, 18 .9 hertz. That is what is referred
2:15
to as infrasound, or... uh ghost sound um and
2:21
it is in relation to like a specific frequency
2:26
that is either connected with paranormal activity
2:30
or things of paranormal nature the one thing
2:34
that i know specifically with infrasound is um
2:38
bigfoot but we can get into that later what about
2:43
huh yeah okay okay so we're gonna get into this
2:48
in a minute because i'm intrigued but first i'm
2:51
gonna read this like article um just to like
2:54
get everyone on an understanding because it would
2:56
be a disservice i think to like ask what is infrasound
2:59
and just start talking about woo woo bigfoot
3:01
stuff so let's answer it for the listeners there's
3:04
this article from 2003 it's actually the article
3:07
that wikipedia like links in their citations
3:09
um called infrasound linked to spooky events
3:14
and it's about these like uk researchers that
3:17
determined that this low frequency sound that
3:22
we can't hear with our human ears consciously
3:25
that we don't know we can hear it but our bodies
3:27
tend to react to it and they said these researchers
3:30
i'll just read this quote um from professor richard
3:36
wise man um so you know he's uh more than just
3:40
intelligent He's a wise man. He's wise. Very
3:45
wise. So this wise man, literally, Richard Wise
3:49
Man, or I'll just read the quote. He said, some
3:53
scientists have suggested that this level of
3:56
sound, referring to, you know, 18 .9 hertz, may
4:01
be present at some allegedly haunted sites and
4:04
so cause people to have odd sensations that they
4:07
attribute to a ghost. Our findings support these
4:10
ideas. saying that this frequency if present
4:15
at a haunted location or if you hear it you know
4:19
in a film or something uh you will tend to feel
4:23
uneasy paranoid a little jittery um feeling of
4:29
a general unease um a lot of horror movies actually
4:33
to pump infrasound in in scary scenes to give
4:36
this like illusion Like, your mind will feel
4:40
scared before your, like, eyes and ears react
4:43
to anything on the screen. That's a tangent,
4:45
though. This article, though, it's literally
4:49
called Infrasound Linked to Spooky Events. You'd
4:53
think that's, like, the big, like, thing they
4:56
want to send you home with. Like, if you're seeing
4:59
ghosts, it might be infrasound. Like, how crazy
5:02
is this? This study happened in 2003. This article
5:06
is reporting on it. It's an NBC News article.
5:09
It's big news. You'd think it would end with
5:13
like a bang, like something about that, like
5:17
about the ghosts, about infrasound, about haunted
5:20
locations or some dumb pun about ghosts or the
5:25
wise man that they were speaking to. But no,
5:28
the last sentence of this article. It's a quote
5:35
from a different person that they randomly brought
5:38
into the article. Just to say, quote, so much
5:43
has been said about infrasound. It's been associated
5:46
with bad driving. It's so random compared to
5:52
everything else. They have this whole article
5:54
about infrasound and ghost sightings and how...
6:00
The feeling of being watched or like that there's
6:03
a ghost present at a haunted location could just
6:06
be this low frequency. And they bring in NPCs
6:10
like, hey, let's bring this girl in to say, also,
6:14
fun fact, if the ghosts weren't fun enough, you
6:19
know, bad drivers might be listening to that
6:21
infrasound on their car radios. Huh? Huh? Huh?
6:24
Huh? Anyone? Anyone? And then it's just like.
6:27
i was just like is that the whole article i was
6:30
like looking for the rest of it um but no uh
6:33
it what a lame way to end an article exactly
6:37
i mean it's a little it's a fun fact but i mean
6:40
lame as and it doesn't relate to what they were
6:43
talking about really it's just so random you
6:46
think like the ghosts i mean maybe it's us like
6:49
loving the paranormal but like that's like the
6:54
exciting you don't even need it random quote
6:57
or anything at the end. That's it. Talk about
7:00
the ghosts. Ghost sightings linked to this frequency.
7:05
I don't know. Next time you guys bitch about
7:10
my driving, I'm just going to say the infrasound.
7:12
The infrasound. Yeah, that's all I'm going to
7:15
hear now. Yes, I'm driving bad because of the
7:19
infrasound. But anyways, that's what infrasound
7:23
is. Everything. From ghost sightings to bad driving
7:28
and apparently to Bigfoot. So what's this Bigfoot
7:32
news you got? Oh, it's literally nothing, like,
7:36
super crazy. It's just one of the, like, you
7:40
guys know, and most paranormal people who have
7:44
some interest in Bigfoot, they know that they
7:47
make, like, the knocks on trees and they... do
7:51
the howl sort of things but they also supposedly
7:56
one of their vocalizations is infrasound like
8:01
they can they can make infrasound which actually
8:04
is seen in nature i do believe lions like um
8:08
when they do their roar it does like hit infrasound
8:14
like that 18 .5 so it is something that happens
8:17
in nature a lot of like natural disasters and
8:21
like predators because we're primed to feel uneasy
8:24
what were you saying never mind for all the audio
8:30
listeners that said what were you saying she
8:32
just like shakes her head in disbelief she's
8:34
like um no i believe if i might be mistaken that
8:38
like one of the techniques for Bigfoot hunting
8:43
is using one of those megaphone amplifiers to
8:49
detect infrasound because the theory is that
8:52
Bigfoot is causing it. Specifically in the Americas,
9:00
I don't believe there's any other predators or
9:04
things in nature that cause infrasound naturally
9:07
other than natural. weather and other things,
9:13
but animalistic. Bad drivers. I don't think the
9:19
bad drivers cause infrasound. But there's some
9:23
present. So is infrasound that, this is a tangent,
9:29
that they're reacting to? Is it something in
9:31
the vehicle? Is it something in the highway?
9:34
I think that's what the article was getting at.
9:38
infrasound from either the car or the radios
9:41
is what's causing bad driving i see is that not
9:47
what you got from that yeah that's what i got
9:49
could the cars be attracting bigfoot then oh
9:53
my god how many sightings are there of people
9:57
seeing bigfoot in their cars could they be it
9:59
could the cars be attracting bigfoot is this
10:03
why we have so many experiences along the afterlife
10:06
road Because we're always... Brianna's... Are
10:14
you okay? Yes. And for a sound... What? It sounds
10:21
silly, but it makes sense. It does make sense
10:24
a little bit. I don't think that it does. Whatever.
10:34
You guys have definitely heard, speaking of Afterlife
10:36
Road, whatever the hell that is, what's that?
10:40
I don't know. You guys have definitely heard
10:42
Infrasound before. Yeah. Well, have I? Yeah.
10:49
No! Your mom is not happy. I hear your mom, and
10:56
I said, you've heard Infrasound, and I just hear
10:58
in distance, no! Yes! That was funny. Can you
11:11
guess what moment of what something that Crossroads
11:20
of Curiosities has made utilizes the ghost frequency?
11:26
Because I've used it before. I'm sorry. I've
11:29
used it. What are you talking about? You've used
11:31
it in some of your videos and stuff? Oh. There's
11:38
one. One in particular. One in particular? One
11:40
in particular. And you definitely, you've seen
11:43
it. Would it be the Possession Tapes? Bingo.
11:47
Okay. I see it. I could see that. Or, I mean,
11:52
I could hear that. Is that why we were feeling
11:55
so uneasy while watching it? Yeah. That makes
11:58
sense. Was it? Yeah. So, that's the thing. I
12:02
mean, it is like... One, it is like a video that
12:07
does give an unsettling feeling a little bit
12:11
throughout. So having, is it because of the video
12:15
or is it because of the infrasound? I don't know.
12:17
That's a good question. But that, I didn't know
12:20
that. No, I didn't. So I discovered like the
12:25
ghost frequency stuff, like kind of a little
12:28
bit before. making the possession tape and then
12:31
when i was watching because for anyone that's
12:33
unaware the possession tape is a uh 25 minute
12:37
short film we put out earlier this year that
12:40
includes the only alleged possession really just
12:45
an intense channeling session um that we teased
12:48
for like over a year on the podcast and we finally
12:52
put it out um so watching back that clip of that
12:57
the you know, namesake possession or whatever,
13:01
it's creepy to us because we were there. Yeah.
13:06
And watching it, I, at least just the raw footage,
13:09
felt creeped out. But I was, like, wondering,
13:14
like, would someone who has no idea what they're
13:17
clicking on feel creeped out? Like, someone who
13:20
has no idea who we are, would they be like, ooh,
13:22
that's creepy? Or would they just, like... not
13:25
know how to react or like find it funny because
13:27
it's kind of i'm just like you know i'm kind
13:30
of just like maybe a little bit of tweaking out
13:33
a little bit um because it's kind of uncanny
13:35
and uncanny can make you laugh or cry you know
13:39
um so i was like you know since i just discovered
13:42
the ghost frequency i i did put some in there
13:46
during the possession or channeling or whatever
13:49
you want to call it parts of the film to kind
13:53
of even if no one picks up on it at least it's
13:56
just a somewhat of an effort to just like add
14:00
to the add to like you're supposed to feel creeped
14:03
out here um to maybe try and capture that but
14:08
we did screen it at the blood moon parafest and
14:11
the first time watching it not on just my computer
14:16
or my tv it did seem like that part was creepier
14:22
than the rest and the crowd seemed to feel too
14:25
i don't i don't know what what do you guys think
14:28
do you think that's a do you think that's a okay
14:32
thing to do do you think there's any ethical
14:35
concerns about using ghost frequency because
14:39
i did that one time i don't that's a good question
14:44
i feel like no i don't think that it is unethical
14:51
because if you are using it in a film that is
14:55
specifically like supposed to be spooky or have
14:59
that kind of vibe like you're wanting to make
15:03
your audience uncomfortable they're they are
15:06
by watching the film they are acknowledging that
15:10
they want to be spooked or want to be scared
15:13
or so they're already going into it with the
15:15
um mindset or like agreement that they want to
15:22
be scared so having the infrasound i wouldn't
15:27
think is unethical i would say i think it would
15:29
just add to the experience yeah yeah i mean like
15:34
like because no nobody's gonna click on a click
15:37
on a video that says possession tapes and not
15:41
expect to be spooked yeah it's not like this
15:45
is like a video Specifically just for pure evidence,
15:50
paranormal -wise, it's entertainment. It's a
15:53
film. It's artsy, you know? Like, it's, you know,
15:57
it's fine. It's a certain je ne sais quoi. Well,
16:01
it's supposed to, like, represent reality, like
16:03
documentaries, so... But still, I mean, you have
16:07
an artsy form to it still. Right, yeah, I'm just
16:09
saying it wasn't trying to, like, dupe anyone.
16:11
It was, like, it's supposed to represent reality,
16:13
and if reality to us was we're getting creeped
16:15
out... Mm -hmm. I'm going to make you try to
16:18
get creeped out. Yeah. But like the way I did
16:20
it, like when I was editing, I did actually when
16:24
it was loud. Cause it was funny. Cause like,
16:27
you know, like the waveforms, you know, you can
16:28
see waveforms on the computer. I could see the
16:32
waveforms for this ultrasound, but I couldn't
16:34
hear anything. Yeah. So I could tell it was playing
16:39
and I did get a headache like while editing.
16:44
Interesting. So. Once I got a headache, I turned
16:48
it down a decibel. And that's how I landed. Did
16:51
you have it in the whole film or only during
16:54
like... In and out. In and out, okay. In and
16:58
out and it got louder and quieter. Okay, yeah.
17:03
But that's how I determined how loud it put it.
17:06
It's like once I got a headache, I put it one
17:08
notch below. So I don't know if it even was still
17:11
effective at that point. So who knows? Who knows?
17:15
Have you guys heard anything so far on this recording?
17:19
No. Have you been playing Infrasound? I have.
17:24
Is it picking up through the microphone or anything?
17:28
Yeah, because your mic is probably blocking out
17:29
the background sound. It might be. I've been
17:32
holding it up to the mic and making it louder
17:34
and quieter. I haven't been experiencing anything,
17:39
but maybe I'm just so focused. Also, you're wearing
17:42
headphones, so you're probably blocking out the
17:44
sound. That too. I did think maybe we might get
17:48
some research. Do other people actually experience
17:51
it when playing a video on YouTube? So I initially
17:56
pulled it up to see the YouTube comments, because
17:59
they do have these big loops of 12 hours of infrasound.
18:05
Unfortunately, it's... Well, let me just read
18:08
these comments. The top comment says, I heard
18:12
children screaming. Then I remembered it was
18:14
just the ones in my basement. Next comment. I
18:17
felt so strange. I turned around and found out
18:20
I was getting stabbed and asked him to politely
18:23
stop. The next comment. I want this to play in
18:29
my funeral so people think my dead soul is haunting
18:32
them. That actually is pretty funny. Next one,
18:38
I got all excited, seeing as my vision got blurry.
18:41
Then I realized I forgot to wear my glasses.
18:47
And then I'll just end on this one. The comments
18:49
are making me laugh so hard that I completely
18:51
forgot about that weird shadow looking at me,
18:53
lol. Oh my god. Oh, that's funny. And we didn't
19:01
get any comments like that on the Possession
19:03
Tapes. No, no we didn't. Huh. Yeah. Infrasound
19:11
is interesting. Like, is it actually creates
19:19
that? I mean, it's just a sound. It's created
19:24
by really anything. I'm just thinking about if
19:28
you're in a haunted location, what things could
19:34
be emitting that specific sound? They could be
19:38
putting you off. So basically anything. I mean,
19:45
a quick Google search says natural events like
19:50
volcanoes, earthquakes, storms, animals, like
19:55
Bree was saying, wind turbines can cause them,
19:58
industrial machinery, rockets. I don't think
20:03
we're investigating any rocket test sites, but.
20:06
It's an interesting concept because, like, we
20:11
can't hear it, but we know it's there. Sometimes,
20:15
but not all the time. Just like all the listeners
20:18
that we know you're listening, but you're not
20:21
leaving five -star reviews. Only the November
20:30
fans are 20 hertz or higher. Am I right? Yeah.
20:37
These January fans, you 18 .9 fans, oh my god.
20:44
No, but do you guys think, because there's rumors,
20:47
rumors on the dark web. How much time are you
20:53
spending on the dark web, Ben? Not a lot, but
20:57
I have to do my research. Some people say. Because
21:03
a lot of people link infrasound to paranormal
21:06
reports and ghost activity. And like I said,
21:09
horror movies. We've even included infrasound
21:13
in a short film we did. Rumors by bad people
21:18
on the bad sides of the internet that some popular
21:22
haunted locations intentionally emit infrasound.
21:28
So that the location, even if it's not haunted,
21:31
people leave. Locations makes you feel off and
21:35
uneasy. Feel like it's haunted and get paranoid.
21:37
And it remains the top haunted location because
21:41
everyone that goes there, even if nothing happens,
21:44
they still walk away feeling like there was a
21:49
demon caught on camera. Very real. Got possessed.
21:53
Not clickbait. I got locations I could think
21:57
of, but I'm not going to say them. Oh, we're
21:59
not name dropping anything. Oh, well, we don't
22:02
even know. I'm just thinking of some locations
22:05
that I wouldn't be surprised if they do that.
22:08
Yeah, absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised at
22:11
all. But when you were reading that, no names
22:16
were dropped or anything, Ben? No. No? No. I
22:20
was going to ask you off screen. I mean, yeah,
22:23
ask me off screen. But for the people listening,
22:25
we don't spread rumors on this podcast. Okay,
22:29
any final thoughts on infrasound? I think we've
22:32
said just about everything about infrasound.
22:34
I probably am going to say that and then think
22:37
of something in like 10 minutes when we're done.
22:39
That's fine. Do you think... there's any application
22:42
i mean i used it once as like an experiment do
22:47
you think there's ever an application to use
22:48
it more in the future do you think so no no i
22:52
do have thoughts on that because you know with
22:55
with my upcoming project um potentially with
22:59
daisy your dog infrasound yes um but we will
23:06
address that more in the future sneak peek um
23:10
We'll be doing a project in the future. With
23:15
your dog? With my dog. This is not a dog. This
23:18
is a cat. All the audio listeners are so confused.
23:23
They're like... Brianna's holding a cat right
23:26
now. I was holding my dog. Now I'm holding a
23:29
cat. Sneak peek. I'm doing a project with my
23:32
dog. This is not a dog. This is a cat. This is
23:37
a very visual episode. about something so auditory
23:42
that you can't even hear it. Aren't you also
23:44
gonna do it with, um, don't, don't, don't, don't,
23:49
uh, spoil it. More information to come soon once
23:53
the weather is, uh, more good. Not wet and cold.
23:59
Spurting. Yes. But yeah, so I think we do have
24:05
potential to use infrasound in things in the
24:08
future. I think it would be interesting to use
24:13
it if we ever go Bigfoot hunting again, which
24:16
you never know. We could. Have you guys ever
24:18
been Bigfoot hunting? Yes, we did go Bigfoot
24:21
hunting once. I want to do this. Yeah, we did
24:25
it at Seven Gables and I smacked a tree a couple
24:29
times. You felt really cool. I really want to
24:35
do this, but I need to do some research on like,
24:39
are there a lot of Bigfoot sightings here in
24:42
Michigan? Yeah, we did 70 Gables Road. Well,
24:45
are there Bigfoot sightings here? Yeah, you'd
24:48
be surprised. Everyone goes out to, there's this
24:50
road nearby where we live. in dansville michigan
24:54
called seven gables road there's like facebook
24:56
groups dedicated to it it's like the most allegedly
24:58
haunted location and we've been out there so
25:01
many times because it was so close to where we
25:04
all you know met and started doing this never
25:07
once had anything paranormal happen out there
25:09
all the legends are so like exactly it's like
25:14
the legends are just about like this witch that
25:16
cursed the road it's all just like nonsense There's
25:19
no ghosts that we've experienced out there, but
25:21
this area is. So, I mean, people throw around
25:25
the term high strangeness often. This is an area
25:28
of high strangeness. There are more documented
25:32
UFO, alien, extraterrestrial, and Bigfoot sightings
25:37
in this area than there are ghost sightings.
25:40
So, that's interesting. Even the book Weird Michigan,
25:45
I mean, I used to... get this book from like
25:47
the library as a kid there is a bigfoot footprint
25:50
from like two streets down from seven gables
25:53
road i did not know this in this book yeah so
25:57
there's a bigfoot out there he's probably hiding
25:59
out in this in in the in the state you know hunting
26:02
land out there with it are there any wind turbines
26:06
out by there weird feelings we no but we did
26:16
uh i i mean maybe but we did do a couple like
26:20
public ghost hunts out there like ghost tours
26:22
to the public and there were a couple bad drivers
26:25
i think um i took when i was on the board for
26:30
msu paranormal i took um a group out there to
26:35
do a bigfoot hunt once and oh hell yeah i don't
26:40
I think we ended up having anything happen. I
26:43
think we thought we heard a call back and then
26:46
we stood there and listened and waited for a
26:48
while. And then it ended up being like hound
26:51
dogs that were hunting. Like they got closer
26:53
and we could hear that it was actual howling
26:55
and not like Bigfoot howling. Someone, someone
26:59
messaged me a couple of years ago and they were
27:03
like, this is actually more than that. This is
27:05
when we were back in MSU. Yeah. And he was like,
27:08
Hey. A couple of buddies of mine are going out
27:11
to Seven Gables. Do you want to come? And I went.
27:15
As typical, nothing paranormal happened. They
27:18
were like, oh, bummer. I thought something would
27:19
happen. I thought we would meet the witch. And
27:22
then they called out, hey, witch, are you there?
27:24
And then I said in response, just no context,
27:27
maybe try calling out to Bigfoot instead. And
27:30
they looked at me like, what? Huh? No, no, the
27:33
witch. And I'm like, yeah, we get more Bigfoot
27:36
activity out here than anything. They're like,
27:38
what if you had? Out here, Bigfoot -wise, I'm
27:40
like, we saw some deer. But that's more activity
27:44
than anything. I looked it up. There are no turbines
27:47
in that area. No turbines. Okay. So it must be
27:52
the bad drivers. It must be the bad drivers.
27:56
You know, I had a friend in high school growing
28:00
up who was absolutely terrified of wind turbines.
28:03
And I wonder if it's because they cause infrasound.
28:06
Well, okay, fun fact. They're very looming. I
28:10
did a whole paper on, like, a debate paper on
28:17
wind turbines in one of my college classes. And
28:21
what was it? I remember talking about that. But
28:29
the amount of it that it emits isn't enough to
28:35
really. cause any effect on people okay good
28:38
to know i love how we're like yeah i think we're
28:41
done and i think we've continued to talk for
28:43
another 10 minutes uh should we just cut it here
28:48
and then pick up part two of infrasound next
28:50
week we need a part two of infrasound next week
28:53
you never know we might come across a bunch of
28:59
new information we want to talk about hey you
29:03
never know I got a week left before the semester
29:07
starts. This can be, like, that can be my main
29:11
topic that I research for this week before I
29:14
have to start doing my actual school topics.
29:17
So why, question, why wouldn't you have already
29:23
researched infrasound before this week? Hold
29:28
on, hold on. I didn't want to. Don't you know.
29:32
Don't you know. time is not linear maybe this
29:38
right now is angela after doing the research
29:41
and the reason the reason she had to ask what
29:46
the topic was is because she just came back from
29:49
the future and wanted to make sure she got the
29:52
right date oh yes and that's how she verifies
29:57
every week that she's in the right timeline Because
30:02
she has to ask, not because she's confused. I'm
30:05
in the mozzarella timeline. Yes, you're in the
30:09
mozzarella timeline. I think we're really going
30:16
off the deep end here, and I think we do need
30:19
to end this. We haven't even gotten to the brie
30:23
layer yet. Let's not. No? No. Too many name puns
30:30
in this one episode? Said a wise man. I don't
30:37
think there have been enough. That was good.
30:48
