1 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,480 Therésa: Hello, hauntis welcome back to another episode of Haunting. 2 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,680 Therésa: For all our newbie haunters tuning in. I'm your host Therésa, 3 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,560 Therésa: dead and killing it, and this is our producer, Len 4 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,080 Len: (mumbles) 5 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,800 Therésa: and our undead abomination turned interned Naomi. Purgatory is all 6 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,800 Therésa: a buzz right now because we've had a lot of 7 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,280 Therésa: high profilers passing through lately, Hollywood royalty, politicians, my old 8 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,400 Therésa: sugar daddy, Rick. I don't really care because to me, 9 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,800 Therésa: celebrities are just people. I grew up in LA. Calista Flockhart's 10 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,960 Therésa: niece was in my kindergarten class okay. 11 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,960 Therésa: She was Ali McBeal and Ali. It doesn't matter. Point is, 12 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,480 Therésa: I'm not phased. It actually only depresses me more because 13 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,440 Therésa: when will I pass through? I think my caseworker Sharon 14 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,760 Therésa: noticed I was feeling down about the whole not crossing 15 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,200 Therésa: over thing. She signed me up for a Haunting one 16 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,280 Therésa: oh one class. At first, I was like, ew, I 17 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,840 Therésa: have no interest in spending my unlimited free time in 18 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,839 Therésa: a rec hall basement with a bunch of sad sack, spooky wannabes. 19 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,880 Therésa: But it's actually been pretty fun and kind of breakfast 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,400 Therésa: club chic. One thing I learned recently that surprised me 21 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,760 Therésa: is that pretty much any noun can be haunted things, places, houses, 22 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,160 Therésa: of course. But I once saw on a Nat Geo 23 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,440 Therésa: special that the entire Florida Keys are haunted. Now, personally, 24 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,720 Therésa: I think all of Florida is haunted. But I'll let 25 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,000 Therésa: you guys have that debate in the comments. I digress 26 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Therésa: people can be haunted too. Obviously, the best example of 27 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,880 Therésa: this is Nicholas Cage. 28 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:55,600 Len: (MUMBLES) 29 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,280 Therésa: Of course he is. Kristen Stewart too, and Mitch McConnell , 30 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,120 Therésa: Ted Cruz, Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken, Jean Simmons, Courtney Cox. 31 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,680 Therésa: Yeah surprising, Yeah, definitely. Some people are just more porous 32 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,320 Therésa: to the supernatural. It's like getting gum stuck on the 33 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,080 Therésa: bottom of your shoe. But it takes a powerful spirit 34 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,440 Therésa: to haunt a person. It's a real commitment. You're dealing 35 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:27,040 Therésa: with personalities, travel, always being on Sorry, right, getting off track. 36 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,200 Therésa: All of this is relevant today's episode because it features 37 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Therésa: not one, but two haunted people.

I just remember not 223 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,520 STORY A: hearing whispers after that point, and then the little figure 224 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,520 STORY A: I saw that was the end of that too. 225 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,160 STORY A: You know, It truly was a very hard time of 226 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,599 STORY A: my life, and I hope that I've somehow made amends 227 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:49,360 STORY A: to whatever it was. That house held power over me, 228 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,520 STORY A: power over my subconscious or my reality, whatever you want 229 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,040 STORY A: to say. It had a grasp on me for longer 230 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,839 STORY A: than I was comfortable with. Thankfully, I was able to 231 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,320 STORY A: ask for help at the right time. You know, I 232 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,080 STORY A: could have let that house completely destroy me. I could 233 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,439 STORY A: have completely fallen apart, but it didn't, and that conquered 234 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,880 STORY A: whatever I was dealing with.
