00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: talked about. It's called seventeenth Floor and it's supposed to

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: be like one of the scariest ever.

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 3: We're going this weekend.

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 4: Oh so it's one of those you know, put together

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 4: like intended to scare you haunted houses.

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, seventeenth door. Did I say floora mint? Seventeenth

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: ye door?

18
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: Where is that at? Where is that at?

19
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: It's in Buena Park, you know what. Let's talk about

20
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: haunted houses. There's actually another one in Orange County that's

21
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: a real haunted house.

22
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: And you have ties to it, don't you.

23
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: I do? The strangely enough, even though that's not really

24
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: my thing.

25
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 4: The the historic Kellogg House is a is a Victorian house.

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 4: It was built in Orange County in eighteen ninety eight

27
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty seven years ago, and a few years

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 4: back it got moved to the Heritage Museum of Orange County.

29
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: Because it's a beautiful, beautiful, custom designed Victorian house with

30
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: a lot to teach us about the Victorian age. It

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: also allegedly is haunted. And it just so happens that

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 4: my scholar kid's sister, Darcy Staniforth, is also on the

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: side kind of a lover of all things paranormal, and

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: she is the official guide and docent for the Haunted

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 4: OC Ghost tours of the Kellogg House, which we're gonna

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: do Monday night with a group of our listeners. We're

37
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: giving away tickets all weekend long. It's going to be fun.

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So you got to be listening to at a

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Home with Dean Sharp both.

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: Saturday and Sunday. You're giving away tickets, yep, both days, Okay,

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: six to eight Saturday nine to noon on.

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: So what what are some signs that we might actually

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: be living in a haunted house?

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 4: Well, not none, really, I mean I mean if you

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: wake up in the morning, if you wake up in

46
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 4: the morning and you know there's like two children standing

47
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 4: in your hallway that don't belong to you. That's probably

48
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 4: a good sign, or you're hearing voices. But you know,

49
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: you know, I like to have fun with Halloween just

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: like you do. So every year I put together a

51
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: Living in a Haunted House show, which basically means that

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: there are a lot of noises and weird behaviors that

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: our house sometimes make that there are ways to quiet

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: it down and to stop it. So, you know, everything

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 4: from squeaky floors to you know, the toilet that sounds

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 4: like it's being used and hissing in the middle of

57
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: the night, all that kind of stuff, you know, scratching

58
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: sounds in the attic. These are all things that can

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: be explained apart from the paranormal, but they kind of

60
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: freak us out.

61
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 1: Okay, So your house might not be haunted, It might

62
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: just need a little fixer upper exactly.

63
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: Okay, So, like what kinds of thing you mentioned? The

64
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: toilet you mentioned.

65
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, the toilet. The toilet's one of those things that

66
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: you know, we actually get a lot of calls on.

67
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 4: We're like, we don't know what's wrong with our toilet,

68
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: and I'm like, why, Well, at night, we'll be lying

69
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: in bed, and all of a sudden, we hear the

70
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: tank go off, like like there's water pouring into it.

71
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: But then I get up and I check and the

72
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: bowl the water. It can't be because the water in

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: the bowl is the exact same end never changes. And

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 4: so one of the things, by the way, Amy, I

75
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: don't know if you know this. You know that you

76
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: can pour an unlimited amount of water into a toilet

77
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 4: bowl and it will never overflow.

78
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's got all the release valves and stuff.

79
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: But I also know that you can if you need

80
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: to clean the bowl, can't you just like throw a

81
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: gallon of water down it and then it empties the

82
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: bowl out.

83
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true too.

84
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but people people get freaked out because they hear

85
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 4: water running in the toilet, and yet they don't they

86
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: expect to see the level of water in the bowl,

87
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: you know, rock if the water's running, But that will

88
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: never ever happen because the toilet bowl has a limit

89
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: to it, and once you get over that limit, it

90
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: just pours itself down the drain, kind of down the

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: back of its throat there. So what's happening is there's

92
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: a little leak. There's a little leak of the gasket

93
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 4: in between the flapper valve, that little flapper that comes up,

94
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 4: it's just gotten old. And as a result of getting old,

95
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 4: it's letting water trickle in, which means the tank goes

96
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: down a little bit. And when the tank goes down

97
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 4: a little bit, the valve that refills the tank starts

98
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 4: to hiss because it's starting to try and refill the tank.

99
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: And then it does eventually refill the tank, and then

100
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 4: it stops. And this can go on all night long

101
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: with people who have a bad flapper valve in their toilet.

102
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 4: And the cool thing is those things that are sitting

103
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 4: on the shelf at your local hardware store, the big

104
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: box store, the home depot, or lows. They cost about

105
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: five bucks and it will take you all of fifteen

106
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: seconds to change it out. That is the end of

107
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 4: the hiss.

108
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 3: Okay.

109
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: And plus, if your house was haunted, they're not going

110
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: to haunt the toilet. I mean, come on, there's other

111
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: things to do, but this one.

112
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you would think if you're a ghost, I'm not

113
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: going to pick the toilet exactly.

114
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: So you've got all kinds, You've got a whole list

115
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: that you're going to go through on your show this weekend.

116
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: But here's one that actually might make me think that

117
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: it actually was haunted, and that's walls that weep.

118
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: Yes, what is walls that well? Sometimes you can get

119
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: actual moisture running down the inside of your walls and

120
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: you see these drip lines on the walls. That is

121
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: usually a sign that something with exterior water proofing has

122
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 4: failed on the house, or maybe you live in a

123
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: much much older house and it really didn't have much

124
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: exterior waterproofing to begin with. And I don't mean on

125
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: the very very outside of the house. I mean underneath

126
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: the siding or underneath the stucco. That's where there's actually

127
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 4: a barrier or supposed to be a barrier that actually

128
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 4: keeps the water from coming into the studs. And we're

129
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 4: not talking about direct amounts of water, like gallons of

130
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: water coming through, but when that barrier starts to fail,

131
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: If it fails, moisture can build up inside the studs,

132
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 4: and then with the temperature differential of outside and inside,

133
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: that moisture can condensate on the dry wall and the

134
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 4: inside of the house, and next thing you know, your

135
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 4: walls are weeping. They're not weeping blood. If it's weeping Blood.

136
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: You are actually living in a haunted house and you

137
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: should leave. But if you've got moisture dropping down the

138
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: inside of the wall, then then we have a vapor

139
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: barrier problem that has to be addressed.

140
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: Okay, So lots of problems.

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: You're going to go through them that you might think

142
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: your house is haunted, but it's not.

143
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: It just needs to be fixed. And you can listen

144
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: all weekend.

145
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Dean's going to be on six to eight am tomorrow
