  Trisha Smith: You know, it's got to get in the 60s at some point.
• 1:11
  Leyla Zmeskal: The 60s. We're in the 50s,
• 1:13
  Trisha Smith: Barely.
• 1:15
  Leyla Zmeskal: It was like a solid 53 driving over here today. Everybodies like fuck you Florida. Solid 53.
• 1:25
  Trisha Smith: Negative 10.
• 1:27
  Leyla Zmeskal: I know,
• 1:27
  Trisha Smith: Up north,
• 1:28
  Leyla Zmeskal: It's double sweater weather.
• 1:31
  Trisha Smith: Doubles, I can't even bust out a coat.
• 1:34
  Leyla Zmeskal: Double sweater.
• 1:38
  Trisha Smith: That is true.
• 1:39
  Leyla Zmeskal: It is true.
• 1:40
  Trisha Smith: It's true.
• 1:40
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yeah. I was panicked. I couldn't find my sweater. I found my lighter sweater couldn't find my heavier sweater. I'm like, where is it?
• 1:46
  Leyla Zmeskal: Ima gonna die walking outside without my heavier sweater.
• 1:55
  Leyla Zmeskal: Frostbite and everything, I didn't want to walk outside in the jacket, because then all the neighbors would look at me like, freak.
• 2:02
  Trisha Smith: 53
• 2:04
  Leyla Zmeskal: With my fuzzy hood up.
• 2:07
  Trisha Smith: Probably blend wide right in with everybody else around here. So but that is why I made us warm drinks today.
• 2:16
  Leyla Zmeskal: It's good.
• 2:17
  Trisha Smith: Yeah.
• 2:19
  Leyla Zmeskal: It's a twisty one.
• 2:20
  Trisha Smith: It is, it is I actually wanted to make like a coconut Mohito because just like three days ago, it was almost 80 was so hot. I mean, like when you're outside in the sun, it was hot so I'm like, Oh, I would I could really go for a Mohito.
• 2:34
  Trisha Smith: Well, then today is a little chilly. So I made, I wanted hot buttered rum. Because I didn't get to make it over Christmas.
• 2:44
  Trisha Smith: And so I'm like, Oh, I really want to make that, i'll just make today. Then I went to go dig around for some rum. And I decided to get creative. And
• 2:54
  Leyla Zmeskal: You did.
• 2:55
  Trisha Smith: City Gate Coconut Rum.
• 2:58
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yes.
• 2:59
  Trisha Smith: And it's good.
• 3:01
  Leyla Zmeskal: It's good. It really is. I mean, I know we've said this about city gates for many times before, but their stuff is so good. And the coconut rum is one of our favorite,
• 3:14
  Trisha Smith: Right.
• 3:15
  Leyla Zmeskal: And it really went well with this drink.
• 3:18
  Trisha Smith: Surprisingly now, I will say I could have saved myself a lot of work and just made some chai tea and then added the coconut rum to it because that's exactly what tastes like.
• 3:28
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Trisha Smith: There's just something about knowing I've got a scoop of butter and brown sugar and,
• 3:38
  Leyla Zmeskal: All of the things.
• 3:40
  Trisha Smith: It just makes it just taste that much better in
• 3:43
  Leyla Zmeskal: I mean, on a nice, chilly day, a nice warm, my mind.
• 3:47
  Trisha Smith: Cup of butter.
• 3:49
  Leyla Zmeskal: Nice warm scoop of butter,
• 3:52
  Trisha Smith: In your cocktail.
• 3:52
  Trisha Smith: How can you go wrong?
• 3:56
  Leyla Zmeskal: I mean, you can't.
• 3:57
  Trisha Smith: Some people are working on you know, their,
• 4:01
  Leyla Zmeskal: Fitness.
• 4:01
  Trisha Smith: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Leyla Zmeskal: What do you do?
• 4:02
  Leyla Zmeskal: Give me a scoop of butter.
• 4:05
  Trisha Smith: In my cocktail.
• 4:07
  Leyla Zmeskal: We failed.
• 4:10
  Trisha Smith: Tried really hard, like for the first week or two?
• 4:13
  Trisha Smith: And then you know, just it is what it is. If I suddenly get exercise-y, then it happens.
• 4:23
  Leyla Zmeskal: Exercise-y. All of a sudden they get,
• 4:27
  Trisha Smith: All of a sudden,
• 4:28
  Leyla Zmeskal: Get exercise-y,
• 4:29
  Trisha Smith: Yeah, if I wake up one day and I'm like, I really want to do exercise-y stuff.
• 4:32
  Trisha Smith: I'll do it. I don't see that happening, but if I did, it would happen.
• 4:41
  Leyla Zmeskal: Have you seen, speaking of exercise-y. Have you seen like the new hula hoop things? The weighted hula hoops?
• 4:51
  Trisha Smith: Any time you open Tik Tok that's
• 4:53
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's all you see.
• 4:54
  Trisha Smith: Right?
• 4:55
  Leyla Zmeskal: It gets you thinking like, I wonder if that really works. I mean,
• 4:59
  Trisha Smith: You know, I have just busted out a regular hula hoop with Donovan every now and then,
• 5:04
  Leyla Zmeskal: It's a lot of work.
• 5:05
  Trisha Smith: It's exhausting,
• 5:06
  Leyla Zmeskal: But then you don't. But I think it's more exhausting because you actually have to focus on keeping it up.
• 5:11
  Leyla Zmeskal: This is like securely around your body and you just make that weighted ball fly around.
• 5:18
  Trisha Smith: Yeah, you don't have to actively do anything,
• 5:21
  Leyla Zmeskal: No you're just like,
• 5:21
  Trisha Smith: It's just gonna stay up.
• 5:24
  Leyla Zmeskal: Like you just have to like, rock back and forth. But the like the the center part, you know, there's no risk of it falling down and you have to, you know, start all over. I mean, I don't know.
• 5:35
  Leyla Zmeskal: It'll start all over again. They
• 5:38
  Trisha Smith: 30 minutes is a long time.
• 5:39
  Trisha Smith: say 30 minutes.
• 5:42
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's a fuck ton of time,
• 5:44
  Trisha Smith: I know, like five.
• 5:44
  Trisha Smith: Maybe
• 5:48
  Leyla Zmeskal: I've thought about it. But then I looked at the prices. I'm like, oh, man, that's a bottle of booze. Do I want to waste that much money?
• 5:54
  Trisha Smith: Is it a lot?
• 5:55
  Leyla Zmeskal: No, it's not a lot. I mean, depends on if you want to get like a fancier one that's got like a counter that'll tell you like, you've done 17 revolutions around your body.
• 6:13
  Trisha Smith: Now I've seen this other fitness thing for Christmas. I bought my husband the Oculus. Yes. And they really cool. So they have this fitness app thing for it where you use the Oculus to exercise so you're supposed to like wave your arms around and jump over things. And so
• 6:31
  Leyla Zmeskal: If you ever do that, please invite me over.
• 6:35
  Trisha Smith: I put this thing on and I'm instantly I instantly have motion sickness. Oh, yeah.
• 6:39
  Trisha Smith: And then on top of that, like you I can't even imagine trying to jump over things that aren't really there. I mean, would look ridiculous and I would injure myself terribly. Just sayin,
• 6:56
  Leyla Zmeskal: Think maybe we'll start on the the hula hoop thing.
• 7:00
  Trisha Smith: Maybe just start with a walk.
• 7:03
  Leyla Zmeskal: Let's just get back down to basics. That means no more scoop of butter in your cocktail.
• 7:09
  Trisha Smith: Oh, hell no.
• 7:13
  Leyla Zmeskal: Scoop of butter, brown sugar, and city gates.
• 7:15
  Leyla Zmeskal: Coconut Rum.
• 7:16
  Trisha Smith: Oh, gosh. Oh, there's a little extra. There's some cinnamon in there. I may have overdone it a little bit with the cloves,
• 7:23
  Leyla Zmeskal: Good thing I like clove.
• 7:24
  Trisha Smith: Good thing, I put a shit ton in there on accident.
• 7:29
  Leyla Zmeskal: You like tripled the recipe.
• 7:31
  Trisha Smith: It's like a quarter of a teaspoon. Half a teaspoon. works. The same.
• 7:40
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's good, though. I like it.
• 7:41
  Trisha Smith: Thank you.
• 7:42
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's good.
• 7:42
  Trisha Smith: Thank you. Thank you.
• 7:43
  Leyla Zmeskal: Nice, nice warm drink.
• 7:44
  Trisha Smith: Watching anything?
• 7:45
  Leyla Zmeskal: No, I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 7:48
  Trisha Smith: Me neither.
• 7:49
  Leyla Zmeskal: No.
• 7:50
  Trisha Smith: That was that was a lot of thinking. Both of our parts I think like they're not doing I read a lot this last couple weeks. Last episode, I was talking about a book series.
• 8:04
  Trisha Smith: They had just started about those three ladies that flip houses and there haunted. There are eight books in the series, and I finished all of them this last week.
• 8:13
  Leyla Zmeskal: Oh, wow. That's nice.
• 8:14
  Trisha Smith: Yeah, so I just had some extra time and they're really good. Meh. You know, they're really good. But they're sometimes they're a little far fetched. And yeah, like super Farfetch. Like, you know, they become the Beverly Hillbillies and strike gold. And now they have all this money that they can do all these things with, which makes it less realistic.
• 8:40
  Trisha Smith: But then on top of that, they use like, theu use a ouiji board.
• 8:44
  Leyla Zmeskal: Oh,
• 8:46
  Trisha Smith: In every book.
• 8:47
  Leyla Zmeskal: Oh, yeah.
• 8:48
  Trisha Smith: The one girls reasoning is like,
• 8:50
  Leyla Zmeskal: Diane's like nope
• 8:51
  Trisha Smith: I know.
• 8:51
  Leyla Zmeskal: I just challenged I challenge a channeled Diane challenge. Diane, Diane, you're not even here. I'm challenging you. channeled. Diane, right.
• 8:59
  Leyla Zmeskal: Like, Oh, hell no,
• 9:04
  Trisha Smith: Exactly. And so, you know, the one girl's reasoning in the book, I think it was like, maybe book six. You know, she finally acknowledges that people. I'm sure she's gotten reader feedback that like, oh, you can't use that as a portal to hell. And her reasoning. The character in the book is if you use all the other stuff, why would this be any different? If you use Taro, if you use, you know, the spirit box if you use you know, these other things to communicate, why would this be any different? And honestly, I mean, there was no good explanation. No, everybody agreed with her.
• 9:48
  Leyla Zmeskal: I mean, think of it that way you're like
• 9:51
  Trisha Smith: Is we'll have to ask Bri the next time yeah, we see her.
• 9:55
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yeah, that's a good question.
• 9:56
  Trisha Smith: Does is the Weegee board any worse than using like a spirit box are some ways some other way of communicating.
• 10:03
  Leyla Zmeskal: You know what we need to have Bri on like call in, like when we have these questions,
• 10:11
  Trisha Smith: Question Bri like a big red button where you
• 10:17
  Leyla Zmeskal: Just call Bri.
• 10:17
  Leyla Zmeskal: Bri we know you're listening to this, so let's make it happen.
• 10:25
  Trisha Smith: She'd get tired of us real quick.
• 10:27
  Leyla Zmeskal: She would she'd be like, Fuck you bitches. Fuck you dehydrated bitches. Drink your water and Move your asses.
• 10:35
  Leyla Zmeskal: Stop putting butter in your shit.
• 10:38
  Trisha Smith: I tried. I thought I'll be real good. I got motors she motivated me and I put on my Apple watch. And I turned on my little fitness. And I was gonna walk 10,000 steps. Do you know how much 10,000 steps is of walking? It's a hell. No.
• 10:56
  Trisha Smith: Although I did go. I did go to Disney this last week with my grandson. And that's easy. Too.
• 11:01
  Trisha Smith: Easy. It just
• 11:06
  Leyla Zmeskal: Oh, absolutely.
• 11:06
  Leyla Zmeskal: But in the house and like real life. Yeah.
• 11:11
  Trisha Smith: I mean, I just be walking in circles.
• 11:12
  Leyla Zmeskal: You know what? We could be one of those old ladies at the mall. And due to our steps at the mall,
• 11:19
  Trisha Smith: Orange Julius, do you remember those?
• 11:21
  Leyla Zmeskal: I do. I do. But I was thinking like it's closer to happy hour so that they after we completed our go to happy hour and get our glass of wine.
• 11:30
  Trisha Smith: That's true. I mean, I would walk for wine.
• 11:33
  Leyla Zmeskal: I walk for wine.
• 11:34
  Trisha Smith: Yeah, we should start that. Yeah. Okay. Okay, let's try it.
• 11:40
  Leyla Zmeskal: And if we're really adventurous if it's a really nice day, we can do a lap around the mall on the outside.
• 11:46
  Trisha Smith: I can remember on the sidewalks, sidewalks.
• 11:51
  Leyla Zmeskal: Kinda slightly sidewalk key. Anyway, that's it.
• 11:56
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's it for me.
• 11:57
  Trisha Smith: That's all you got.
• 11:58
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's all I got.
• 11:59
  Trisha Smith: Now. You got more than that. We got to tell me today.
• 12:01
  Leyla Zmeskal: All right, I got a story. Ah, I got to story. And hey, Trisha, what do you want me to tell you a joke about a piece of paper? No, nevermind. It's terrible.
• 12:19
  Trisha Smith: You're welcome.
• 12:19
  Trisha Smith: You Just had to get one in every
• 12:22
  Leyla Zmeskal: Single episode.
• 12:22
  Leyla Zmeskal: This season shall have a dad joke.
• 12:28
  Trisha Smith: Do you really want to call it a dad joke?
• 12:30
  Leyla Zmeskal: I know. I don't have kids. I'm kind of like a faux PA. I got second. Totally good.
• 12:43
  Trisha Smith: Sweetie waiting for me to say no. That
• 12:45
  Leyla Zmeskal: Worked out just spontaneously. I mean, that really was just opportunistic.
• 12:47
  Leyla Zmeskal: Luck. So do you remember the movie? Christine? Yeah. Okay, remember the book and everything about the car that was possessed and terrorize a small town.
• 13:01
  Leyla Zmeskal: Right? And the kid was obsessed with his car. Well, I'm going to tell you a little story about the most evil car in America.
• 13:10
  Leyla Zmeskal: Not the most haunted. Oh, just evil, the most evil list of cars.
• 13:17
  Trisha Smith: It's not possessed?
• 13:18
  Leyla Zmeskal: Well, that might be up for debate. Okay, tell me.
• 13:22
  Leyla Zmeskal: So it was a 1964 Dodge 330 limited edition, called the Golden Eagle.
• 13:33
  Trisha Smith: Oh.
• 13:38
  Leyla Zmeskal: There have been numerous mysterious deaths associated with this car. Okay, so this is one of those stories that has been told enough times to become legend. Yeah, so the story mostly comes from the current owner of the car, a lady by the name of Wendy Allen.
• 14:01
  Trisha Smith: Oh, okay.
• 14:02
  Leyla Zmeskal: She also goes by the name eel cat. And she's also been called the Sea Witch of Old Orchard Beach.
• 14:12
  Trisha Smith: Okay. Let's see which again,
• 14:17
  Leyla Zmeskal: Of Old Orchard Beach. She herself claims to collect haunted cars. So this isn't the first haunted car that she has owned, she says. And she uses those haunted cars as inspiration for her writings. So she writes stories. And if you're interested and checking out her story, she has a website and you can find all of her books on there. Yeah, her website is,
• 14:44
  Trisha Smith: Unique.
• 14:45
  Leyla Zmeskal: Very unique. She just,
• 14:48
  Trisha Smith: She's a lot.
• 14:49
  Leyla Zmeskal: Oh, man. Holy biscuits.
• 14:55
  Trisha Smith: Okay. Okay.
• 14:57
  Trisha Smith: So back to the story.
• 14:59
  Leyla Zmeskal: So the car originally was used by the Old Orchard Beach Police Department in Maine.
• 15:05
  Trisha Smith: Oh, okay.
• 15:06
  Leyla Zmeskal: Okay. However, the car didn't stay with the department for very long. It only lasted for about a year.
• 15:13
  Leyla Zmeskal: Hmm. I wonder why.
• 15:14
  Trisha Smith: Yeah.
• 15:15
  Leyla Zmeskal: Okay.
• 15:16
  Trisha Smith: Well, why would the police department have a rare car to begin?
• 15:19
  Leyla Zmeskal: Apparently they bought a couple of them for their department. But again, that's that's a question like, why would they buy a limited edition for their squad cars?
• 15:32
  Trisha Smith: Right. And maybe I would think that limited edition means this meant the same then as it does now. Oh, expensive.
• 15:41
  Trisha Smith: Yeah. Right. I would think so.
• 15:41
  Trisha Smith: Okay, So I bought a couple of them,
• 15:46
  Leyla Zmeskal: Apparently. And each there was only three officers that ever drove the car. Okay, because it was only with the department for a year.
• 15:52
  Leyla Zmeskal: But all three officers that drove the car died,
• 15:59
  Trisha Smith: In the car?
• 16:00
  Leyla Zmeskal: Not in the car.
• 16:00
  Leyla Zmeskal: They all murdered their families and committed suicide. Why? All three of them.
• 16:09
  Trisha Smith: Wow.
• 16:10
  Leyla Zmeskal: So like a first like, oh, this, you know, cop gets like, Oh, yay, you get this limited edition. You know, 330 Limited. Blah, dodge. Yeah, thing. Oh, that's awesome.
• 16:22
  Leyla Zmeskal: Thanks, guys. And then all of a sudden, he falls into some kind of state goes home one night kills his family and himself.
• 16:30
  Leyla Zmeskal: And then it happens again. And then the second cops like, Hey, you get this car? Whoo. Didn't Larry, you know wasn't Larry's car. Yeah. But he says
• 16:39
  Trisha Smith: He didn't kill himself in the car. Pie. Like okay, sure. I'll take and then he does the same thing does the same thing. So the third guy be like, No way.
• 16:48
  Leyla Zmeskal: Why did I pull the short straw? Yeah. And still he took still he took the car.
• 16:54
  Trisha Smith: Yeah, there any accidents like in the making of the car? Like somebody fall into like a metal press?
• 17:01
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's a good question. You know, like, was there the car haunted for at the assembly line, right, an accident and no one knows that part.
• 17:11
  Trisha Smith: Okay.
• 17:12
  Leyla Zmeskal: So after the third officer committed, you know, the murder suicide deal.
• 17:16
  Leyla Zmeskal: It led the agency to sell the car to a local older man, who then the cost of the car was silver at the time. But then he painted it like this orange metallic flake,
• 17:32
  Trisha Smith: He didn't want people to know he was driving an old cop car.
• 17:34
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yeah. Okay, that had murdered death kills associated with it. Suppose so the man said that the car would do weird things, when he would drive it. Like the doors would open up by themselves. While they were like he was traveling down the highway for no reason,
• 17:51
  Trisha Smith: Trying to kick them out.
• 17:54
  Leyla Zmeskal: Maybe because the seatbelts would release on their own. And you couldn't like this car would speed up and you couldn't like get the speed of the car to change like it would just go faster for no reason.
• 18:05
  Leyla Zmeskal: And the steering wheel were like jerk oddly, so this is all things so he got really freaked out about all these like weird things and he just you know parked it in his garage any left it there for a little while. So here come along this mechanic who collected old cars, and he thought like those defects were, you know, factory defects and he's like, since I'm a mechanic I can let's see what I can do.
• 18:34
  Leyla Zmeskal: So it said that he took the engine out, took out all the circuits and stuff and like basically like, you know,
• 18:42
  Trisha Smith: Rebuilt the car,
• 18:44
  Leyla Zmeskal: Like you're shutting your computer off for so many seconds and then like turning it back on like a hard start or restart, but the weirdness continued.
• 18:53
  Trisha Smith: So he didn't sell the mechanic his car. He just had him.
• 18:56
  Leyla Zmeskal: No, he did have he did sell it to like, oh, okay, like he did sell it to a mechanic the mechanic said, you know, I can fix it and I'm a collector, so I guess he thought that he could fix it, but he didn't knew. Okay, real day the weird things continued. And the people like in the town like I guess this is small town, Old Orchard Beach sounds like a small town. They really started to think the car was possessed.
• 19:19
  Leyla Zmeskal: The mechanic who own the car said almost every day he would find small dead animals around the car. Oh my god, it gets weirder. Okay, okay. One day, a little girl was hit by a car riding her bike not far from where the mechanic lived. And the impact of the little girl sent the little girl flying through the air and straight into the bumper of the Golden Eagle. And apparently that wasn't the only kid to be flung like hits and then like flung towards the car. Wow. But not hit by the car not hit by the car hit and then like flung to the car. Yeah, so I get By that time with all the weirdness the mechanic is like, well, I'm done too. So then the car was sold to the alum family and that's who are the well it was sold to Wendy Ellen's dad. Okay. And then it would pass down to her.
• 20:17
  Leyla Zmeskal: So the Alan's were fully aware of the car's history, but they continue to drive it anyway. And oddly enough, they were never really harmed even though they did say that they did experience like the doors opening up when they were driving down the highway.
• 20:33
  Trisha Smith: Wow, they didn't find small dead animals around the car.
• 20:37
  Leyla Zmeskal: Um, she did. She did. And when I guess like, in one of the, one of the things that I've read, she did take the, like some of these animals to the vet for a necropsy, and it said that they were electrocuted. Oh, like weird, huh? Right. Yeah, yeah. Okay.
• 20:53
  Leyla Zmeskal: That's however, they never were harmed in any way. But if anybody else touched the car, they would meet a horrible fate.
• 21:03
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yeah. With rumors starting to spread about the car in the 80s and 90s. Members of a local church vandalized the car at a fear it would murder again. Oh, there's churchgoers in a small town churchgoers. So according to the stories, there's many stories, some members of the group died tragically by being to capitated by an 18 Wheeler,
• 21:37
  Trisha Smith: The vandalizers?
• 21:39
  Leyla Zmeskal: Vangelizers like apparently like there was an accident and the car went underneath the truck and like cut the top of the car off, decapitating them, not the car, but the car that people people evangelizers. Yeah. And the ones that were not to capitated by the 18 Wheeler died by being struck by lightning. What so they all died. Like it said that all the people that were part of that Yeah, yeah. Oh, I know.
• 22:10
  Leyla Zmeskal: Weird, huh? Yeah, that's not the weirdest thing. Do you want to know the most horrific? Yes. And tragic? Yes. So the most horrific murder suicide associated with this car is the cascade murders. The Cascade murder even has a name.
• 22:29
  Trisha Smith: Oh,
• 22:30
  Leyla Zmeskal: Likem how weird is that?
• 22:31
  Trisha Smith: And it's associated with this car.
• 22:33
  Leyla Zmeskal: This car. Okay.
• 22:33
  Leyla Zmeskal: It is said that back in 2008. A young boy was playing with his friends and his friends dared him to go touch the car.
• 22:45
  Trisha Smith: Okay, where's the car now?
• 22:47
  Leyla Zmeskal: It's at the Allen's house.
• 22:49
  Trisha Smith: Where are the Allens?
• 22:50
  Leyla Zmeskal: They live in some kind of state? Me. They live are they still live in Old Orchard Beach? Oh, okay. So they still live. They still live there.
• 22:58
  Leyla Zmeskal: Okay, so apparently, this kid snuck onto the Allen's property because he was dared by his friends to go touch this car.
• 23:07
  Leyla Zmeskal: Because I guess you know when you're in a small town,
• 23:11
  Trisha Smith: So this is this car is this town's haunted house?
• 23:15
  Leyla Zmeskal: Right?
• 23:15
  Trisha Smith: Right. Okay, right.
• 23:17
  Leyla Zmeskal: So he did, right?
• 23:17
  Leyla Zmeskal: He snuck onto the property. He touched the butt. I mean, the car touch the car but. And he went back home. Were later he took a picture knife and killed his parents, his grandmother and his siblings.
• 23:39
  Trisha Smith: Oh, my God,
• 23:41
  Leyla Zmeskal: Even the dog.
• 23:41
  Leyla Zmeskal: Then he set the house on fire burning it to the ground just from
• 23:49
  Trisha Smith: Touching the car, but just from touching the car.
• 23:51
  Trisha Smith: But now what What about his friends now are his friends, the ones who are like
• 23:56
  Leyla Zmeskal: His friends like they're in the store? The store reads and I can't like cite any specific site. Because I just read so many from so many. You know, so many stories from so many sites, the only ones that actually spoke out I guess whereas the kids neighbors which was like the town manager or something and said that the boy was possessed. Well, yeah, and of course like the cop they said the cops got there and they laughed at these people and but then later on and another story that I read, it said that the town manager was crazy. So after that in 2010, yet another local church decided to try and stop the car, believing that it was possessed by a demon. They stole the car, chopped it up and distributed the parts around various junkyards in the area.
• 24:49
  Trisha Smith: So people who went and got parts could now have their own possess car
• 24:53
  Leyla Zmeskal: Right because that's not going to that's you.
• 24:56
  Leyla Zmeskal: I guess okay. It is said that out Lin was very devastated about the car being stolen and it took to the internet after the incident where she rallied up help from supporters. She was able to track down and collect enough pieces of the car to have it put back together. I'm just gonna say what the fuck. Like you're so obsessed with this car that you are tracking down pieces of this car. She was
• 25:25
  Trisha Smith: She was probably possessed to put it back together. She's
• 25:30
  Leyla Zmeskal: She says although it wasn't exactly like it used to be, she was able to retrieve most of the car parts. She now has the car hidden and the car is in a safe place from anybody who wants to harm it
• 25:47
  Trisha Smith: Possessed.
• 25:51
  Leyla Zmeskal: She also claims that the car is not a killer, but it's most certainly haunted.
• 25:55
  Leyla Zmeskal: The car has 14 death associated with it. But she thinks it could be as high as 32. Oh, but
• 26:05
  Trisha Smith: Let's put it back together.
• 26:06
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yeah, because that's a great idea. So Alan is accused of using black magic to curse her vehicles. But she shrugs off the comments saying that people are reading too much into things that have happened to people over this car. She also claims that the town she lives in has an abnormally high rate of suicides, and the mass murder suicides in York County are the highest in the country.
• 26:34
  Leyla Zmeskal: And Old Orchard Beach has the highest rate of Officer suicide in the state of Maine. So is the whole fucking town crazy. Is it one of those towns that are just weird? Well,
• 26:49
  Trisha Smith: I can understand, statistically, you know, a state having this or that, you know, a high rate of suicide a high rate of murder, but their town, not the state but their town sounds like it's above and beyond.
• 27:05
  Leyla Zmeskal: It sounds like a frickin Stephen King novel.
• 27:07
  Trisha Smith: Right? Right. But yeah, I mean, I think she's possessed too. Like if instead of making her do something bad it needs caretaker. Right. And like the Stephen King's car.
• 27:20
  Trisha Smith: Right, right.
• 27:21
  Leyla Zmeskal: Yeah. So I wonder if he got that store. It said that he did. Oh, okay. said that. That was his like, some of it was like main right. You know,
• 27:31
  Trisha Smith: He said he probably hurt like, heard about it in may know this story. Was there any press about the the cascade murders,
• 27:42
  Leyla Zmeskal: There was there was like a snippet about the cascade murders. However, there's really no press about the murder suicide with the cops. Like there was no, in all of the stories that I've read.
• 27:54
  Leyla Zmeskal: There wasn't really anything about the murder suicides. There was in one story, there was a link to the cascade murders.
• 28:04
  Leyla Zmeskal: Okay, yeah. So is the car truly possessed? Or has some unfortunate events around this car? Made it legend in this small town that obviously has a lot of horrible events on a regular basis? I don't know. I don't know. What do you think?
• 28:26
  Trisha Smith: I don't know.
• 28:28
  Leyla Zmeskal: If you look at this Wendy Allen's website, she like she claims that the police department put a bomb in her house what she claims that the townspeople like murder her animals and like cut their heads off and like tack them to the her door like she's got some claim. She claims like she's a gypsy, a witch. She drives around this car now called the dazzling raspberry or something like that, where she it's like a Volvo, that she's glued like 1000s of stones and trinkets to this car. And she uses it for autism awareness. The Her website is interesting, really interesting.
• 29:15
  Trisha Smith: To check it out. I feel like there's some basis to the story as far as there was probably a murder suicide, maybe two. And you know, something else may have happened, like a guy owned it. And then he told some store I think like the stories have definitely been embellished over the year.
• 29:34
  Trisha Smith: Right. Right. And maybe the common thread is maybe a couple of these people owned this car at the time. But I find it I mean, there's got to be a backstory to that kid. It couldn't have just been he touched the car in the car.
• 29:48
  Trisha Smith: Yeah. What did they say about him at school? Was he like, mentally unstable ready? No, I think.
• 29:55
  Leyla Zmeskal: The trouble was, you know, what was the backstory? I agree. You don't know. And especially if what she says is true about the town she lives in, then clearly there's a lot of mental health issues.
• 30:12
  Trisha Smith: Because if they're terrorizing her, or if they try and stole her car, and
• 30:19
  Leyla Zmeskal: Have you heard of towns that are just bad, like there's stuff in the water runoff and things that just right like have like that effect on people, maybe this is one of those towns that just have those maybe has that effect of
• 30:35
  Trisha Smith: Just a small town.
• 30:35
  Trisha Smith: You know, when you live in a tiny town, the rumor mill is the gospel. Somebody spreads a rumor. And it's the truth, though nobody tries to verify it, because so and so's cousins brothers. Uncle said it was true. So it must be true.
• 30:53
  Leyla Zmeskal: And if you couple with being a highly religious town, right, then oh, goodness, yeah. I mean, she'll go like on her website, she goes into a lot of like, there's, I guess there's a lot of prejudice in the town.
• 31:10
  Trisha Smith: I wouldn't be surprised.
• 31:11
  Leyla Zmeskal: I can. No.
• 31:12
  Trisha Smith: I mean, you think about the fact that Maine is already an under populated state, like it's not one of your bigger states where there's a lot of people, so their towns then in turn are smaller. And then in turn, they're probably you know, churches always a social place, you know, so probably the majority of their town goes to one or two of the local churches where they're getting their information from.
• 31:44
  Leyla Zmeskal: I don't know. I mean, it's, there's some crazy stuff on that on her website.
• 31:47
  Leyla Zmeskal: There's some crazy claims, right? That are really just unheard of. It's Wow. I mean, I could I could go on and on. It sounds
• 31:59
  Trisha Smith: Like whew.
• 32:01
  Leyla Zmeskal: So if you want to check out some of her stories, check out Wendy Allen's website.
• 32:03
  Leyla Zmeskal: Just Google her.
