Speaker 1: What's that at the bed? It's spooky and yooky. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure it's dead. It's coming, it's a way.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, help.
Speaker 1: I got.
Speaker 2: By Ross dress p.
Speaker 1: Hi boo, it's me Ros dress Fules. You know that
Speaker 1: I love you guys so much and I love hearing
Speaker 1: from you. And since we started doing this podcast, I've
Speaker 1: had so many people write me with their ghost stories
Speaker 1: and I love them. And I've also, you know, I've
Speaker 1: also gotten to meet a lot of you in person,
Speaker 1: and I hear your ghost stories in person, which is
Speaker 1: so fun. But I had this idea, you might recall
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, I made a little uh
Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for? You know, I wanted
Speaker 1: to do a call to action and see, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: do any of you want to actually be on the
Speaker 1: show and give me a phone call and we can
Speaker 1: actually talk about it and record it. I had some
Speaker 1: wonderful conversations with some of you, my listeners, my booze.
Speaker 3: So here's the first one. Is this Samantha, Yes, it
Speaker 3: is hi, Samantha.
Speaker 1: That's me Ross Dresephls.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, this is so exciting.
Speaker 1: How are you.
Speaker 4: I'm good, how are you great.
Speaker 1: Where are you calling from.
Speaker 4: I am calling from Greensboro, North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, is it pretty haunted there? I feel like
Speaker 1: it would be miserable.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's so hot. It's so humid. We are literally
Speaker 4: the armpit of the United States.
Speaker 1: Okay, so tell me about your ghost story.
Speaker 4: Okay. So I work in historic preservation, which means I
Speaker 4: spend a lot of time in old houses. That's so cool,
Speaker 4: and yes, I love it so much. I'm a big
Speaker 4: architecture nerd. I just love everything about it. I love
Speaker 4: the stories and just the feeling of old houses.
Speaker 2: So this particular.
Speaker 4: Instance actually happened a few years ago. I was working
Speaker 4: with a group of architectural historians and students. We were
Speaker 4: kind of going around to these different buildings and drawing
Speaker 4: these skilled floor plans, and this specific location I can't
Speaker 4: really say exactly where it was, but it's in North Carolina,
Speaker 4: and it's this beautiful old doctor's house. So it was
Speaker 4: kind of like his home, but also a place where
Speaker 4: he did some surgeries and did some medical care for
Speaker 4: the community. I think it was also like a medical
Speaker 4: school at one point. But it's like this huge nineteenth
Speaker 4: century house and.
Speaker 1: So so spooky. About like maybe doing surgeries in a
Speaker 1: house at one point or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to be fair, I actually didn't even think about
Speaker 4: that when I was there.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right where my mind goes.
Speaker 4: I surprisingly didn't because normally I loved few things, ghost things.
Speaker 4: But I was not scared of the fact that it
Speaker 4: was where surgeries were performed anything. I wasn't even thinking
Speaker 4: about that. I was just kind of focused on the
Speaker 4: architecture and drawing these floor plans. I was like really
Speaker 4: into it. And on the first day it was like
Speaker 4: a huge group of us. There were like over twenty
Speaker 4: of us there. We were just bustling all around the
Speaker 4: house doing these floor plans. So we were like measuring
Speaker 4: walls and doing stuff. And as we're exploring the house,
Speaker 4: a small group of us goes upstairs to kind of
Speaker 4: see what's going on upstairs, and there was this really
Speaker 4: weird room. It was painted blue, and it had this
Speaker 4: bed that was in there that was like busted with
Speaker 4: the mattress that had been ripped open. There were like
Speaker 4: feathers everywhere.
Speaker 1: It was a disaster.
Speaker 2: Wait, really weird?
Speaker 1: Was this house like empty at the time, Like we're
Speaker 1: squad in there, like what was going on?
Speaker 4: No? And it was not empty. It actually was like
Speaker 4: minimally furnished with period furniture. They had like some artifacts
Speaker 4: in there that had like certain old surgical equipment, and
Speaker 4: they're also really creepy. There were these like old dolls
Speaker 4: and these old children's toys. I don't know why they
Speaker 4: were in there, Like it could have just been like
Speaker 4: for kids to play with while they were waiting for
Speaker 4: the doctor, or it could have just been like something
Speaker 4: that was put there later. But that just adds another
Speaker 4: level to like the creepy component of this place. So
Speaker 4: we're upstairs in this room and I'm in there with
Speaker 4: a bunch of architectural historians and we're like looking at
Speaker 4: the walls and it's really strange. There were like all
Speaker 4: these little holes all over the walls, all the way
Speaker 4: up into the ceiling. It looked like someone took a
Speaker 4: nail and hammered it into the wall and then removed
Speaker 4: the nail and then hammered it into the wall again.
Speaker 4: Not totally random like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't like it looked like maybe at one
Speaker 1: point someone was hanging up pictures there. It was just
Speaker 1: like random holes all over the wall.
Speaker 4: No, no rods. They were like thousands of holes and
Speaker 4: they were like totally randomly placed. It was bizarre. So
Speaker 4: I'm up there with like architectural historians and they're looking
Speaker 4: at it and ever literally everyone up there is like,
Speaker 4: I've never seen this. I have no idea what this is.
Speaker 4: So like it was just like weird. There's like all
Speaker 4: these weird holes. And I did start to get like
Speaker 4: a little bit of a creepy vibe after I saw
Speaker 4: that room, but I was there with like a million people.
Speaker 4: It was broad daylight, so I didn't get that creeped out.
Speaker 4: But so we're doing all this work in the house.
Speaker 4: We end up not finishing in time. There's still a
Speaker 4: few rooms downstairs that have to get done, but the
Speaker 4: rest of the group has to go on and do
Speaker 4: something else. So we just decided that I would go
Speaker 4: back with one of my colleagues the next day and
Speaker 4: just like finish up downstairs, just the two of us.
Speaker 4: And that's where things started to get really creepy. O.
Speaker 4: We show up that morning. We're supposed to meet the
Speaker 4: guy who's gonna let us in at like nine, and
Speaker 4: we show up and we're hanging out outside and nobody
Speaker 4: has shown up to let us in and like fifteen
Speaker 4: minutes go by. So we start walking around the house
Speaker 4: and we're trying different doors, Like we try the front
Speaker 4: door and some side doors, and when we try one
Speaker 4: of the side doors, it was open. So we were
Speaker 4: just like, oh, okay, well maybe when he said come
Speaker 4: at nine, he meant like, I will unlock a door
Speaker 4: for you and just like go in and start working.
Speaker 4: So we have like our little measuring tape and the
Speaker 4: floor plans that we're working on, and we go in
Speaker 4: and I'm like measuring one of the walls where my
Speaker 4: friend is riding down the measurements, and we start hearing
Speaker 4: someone walking upstairs from the far into the house, like
Speaker 4: the other end. This is a huge house, by the way,
Speaker 4: by the from the far end of the house, we
Speaker 4: hear them like walking towards us, and I'm like, shaky,
Speaker 4: got me too. It's still so still so scary even
Speaker 4: just thinking about it. But we hear these footsteps and
Speaker 4: they get louder and louder until they're walking right over.
Speaker 2: Ahead of us.
Speaker 1: Are you somebody that instantly thinks ghost or no?
Speaker 4: Okay, So I totally believe in ghosts. I've had tons
Speaker 4: of experiences in my life like since being a kid.
Speaker 4: My mom's side of the family is a little.
Speaker 5: Bit mystical ish.
Speaker 4: They're Italian and they like believe in that sort of stuff,
Speaker 4: so I've.
Speaker 2: Always like believed.
Speaker 4: But for some reason in that instance, I don't know
Speaker 4: if it's because I was so distracted on just getting
Speaker 4: this work done and there was beautiful architecture, so I
Speaker 4: was kind of focusing on that. In my mind, I
Speaker 4: thought it was the guy that was supposed.
Speaker 5: To meet us.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 4: So I'm hearing this walking and I'm like, Okay, that's
Speaker 4: the guy. He's coming towards us, and he was walking
Speaker 4: towards the staircase that that was right next to me.
Speaker 4: I was in like the living room area, and there
Speaker 4: was this really twisty staircase that was to my right.
Speaker 4: And it's kind of hard to explain, but the way
Speaker 4: that it was built is that you can only see
Speaker 4: like the first couple of stairs, and then the staircase
Speaker 4: turns and there's a wall, so I couldn't really see,
Speaker 4: but I knew that he was walking towards the staircase,
Speaker 4: and as soon as the steps got to the top
Speaker 4: of the staircase, they kind of like stopped with a
Speaker 4: shuffle like it was so obvious this footsteps couldn't be
Speaker 4: anything else. And at that point I called up the stairs.
Speaker 4: I was like why and nobody answered nothing.
Speaker 1: Would you do you just went on with your day
Speaker 1: of working or what?
Speaker 4: No? No no? When no one answered, I turned and
Speaker 4: I looked at my friends and we both we knew
Speaker 4: at that point that it was either like a transient
Speaker 4: person who was in the house or someone who was
Speaker 4: not supposed to be there, or it was a ghost
Speaker 4: because at that point when I had called up to
Speaker 4: the who I thought was the person and nothing responded,
Speaker 4: it was really weird. It was like I totally fro.
Speaker 4: I felt this icy chill go down my spine, like
Speaker 4: something is totally not right in this house. And when
Speaker 4: I turned until my friend felt the same way. We
Speaker 4: locked eyes for a little bit and then ran out
Speaker 4: of the house. We just dropped everything and faulted out
Speaker 4: of the side door of the house like screaming.
Speaker 1: That's such a cool job that you have, So it's
Speaker 1: so cool you get to go to like all these
Speaker 1: old places like that, Huh I do.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mostly work with private property owners, but I
Speaker 4: also am the manager of a historic site here in
Speaker 4: North Carolina.
Speaker 1: So do you ever like, so you know, like the
Speaker 1: history of all these places, like what you know if
Speaker 1: there could be a ghost, like someone might have died there, like,
Speaker 1: do you have access to that knowledge?
Speaker 4: Yes, totally. So A lot of what I do when
Speaker 4: I'm researching a house is that you have to not
Speaker 4: only study and record the architecture, but you have to
Speaker 4: do the history of the house as well, which involves
Speaker 4: like looking at all the old records in the city
Speaker 4: directories and following the deeds and reading any like newspaper
Speaker 4: articles and stuff. So yes, whenever I go to a place,
Speaker 4: I usually know the full history of what is recorded
Speaker 4: about the house.
Speaker 1: So do you have any theory like who could be
Speaker 1: haunting it? Do you think it was the doctor or
Speaker 1: a patient?
Speaker 4: I honestly don't know. My friend and I we did
Speaker 4: end up going back in and we finished those drawings,
Speaker 4: even though we were so freaked out, like we could
Speaker 4: feel a presence like in there following us. Whatever it
Speaker 4: was was completely malicious because I know that it was
Speaker 4: doing that to intimidate us and make us feel like threatened.
Speaker 4: It was especially creepy and one of the one of
Speaker 4: the rooms that had like all the dolls in it,
Speaker 4: I just like felt the back of my neck was
Speaker 4: just tingling with a malicious feeling. So I know many
Speaker 4: people probably had died there because it was kind of
Speaker 4: like a hospital. I think it was a hospital during
Speaker 4: the Civil War as well, where they did like a
Speaker 4: lot of surgeries. It's got to be a place of
Speaker 4: trauma for sure. I don't think it was a doctor.
Speaker 4: I think it was maybe somebody who died there who
Speaker 4: was just like could not leave that place behind. I
Speaker 4: know that's creepy.
Speaker 1: Well, this is so cool that I got to talk
Speaker 1: to you, because that's why that's why I'm so excited
Speaker 1: about this episode, is because I get to hear from
Speaker 1: people of like all different parts of the country and like,
Speaker 1: that's the kind of I haven't heard a kind of
Speaker 1: story like that yet. I haven't talked to anybody that
Speaker 1: has a job like you. So that's I'm so grateful
Speaker 1: that you called.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm so grateful as you invited me on the show.
Speaker 4: I love listening to your show, and I know this
Speaker 4: has come up a couple times, so I wanted to
Speaker 4: clarify it a little bit about the question about whether
Speaker 4: or not a realtor has to tell disclosed off a
Speaker 4: house is.
Speaker 1: Haunted, Yes, tell us.
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's actually state by.
Speaker 1: State that's what I thought.
Speaker 4: Real, Yes, realtors, they have to disclose material facts, which
Speaker 4: means like the house has mold or like or the
Speaker 4: roof is leaking. But that doesn't necessarily mean like, oh,
Speaker 4: someone was murdered here or oh this house is haunted.
Speaker 4: So it's stafe by state. I know in New York
Speaker 4: there's like a weird law, this weird ruling that says
Speaker 4: if a house is known by to the public as
Speaker 4: being haunted, like if its reputation has become public knowledge,
Speaker 4: then that becomes the material fact and it has to
Speaker 4: be disclosed. But if it's like the private person who's
Speaker 4: lived there forever just knows the places haunted as hell,
Speaker 4: they don't have to tell anybody anything. It's like only
Speaker 4: the public knowledge.
Speaker 1: So only if some like Glabermouth lived in that house
Speaker 1: that has to be like if someone like me that
Speaker 1: probably would like go on like TV shows and be
Speaker 1: like I need a book deal, my walls are bleeding
Speaker 1: like that's but yeah, so that's the only scenario where
Speaker 1: they have to tell you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not all states even have to tell if someone
Speaker 4: was murdered there. California is one where realtors have to
Speaker 4: say if someone was murdered there, but not all states.
Speaker 1: Wow. Interesting, Well I'm glad that at least where I
Speaker 1: live they have to tell you, because.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need to know that info. Yeah, but if
Speaker 4: you ever want to call me back with any other
Speaker 4: like preservation questions or like house questions or whatever, I'd
Speaker 4: be happy to answer your questions.
Speaker 1: Oh, honey, I've been trying to preserve this act. I've
Speaker 1: been doing for years.
Speaker 3: There's a ghost in my house. I got Casey here, Hi, Casey, Hey,
Speaker 3: how's it going so good?
Speaker 1: Where are you at, Casey?
Speaker 2: I'm actually in southern California.
Speaker 1: Also, oh where are you?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, not too far in an Empire riverside. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not too far.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for listening.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to hear your ghost story. This involves
Speaker 1: your husband's grandmother.
Speaker 2: Actually mine, Oh okay, it was my Yeah, so we
Speaker 2: actually my grandmother lived in this house. And I don't
Speaker 2: know if you've ever.
Speaker 5: Heard of the Harbor Heights.
Speaker 2: It's kind of closer to La Sure, it's like La County. Okay,
Speaker 2: So this house, it was her home that she lived in.
Speaker 2: I don't know since like maybe the sixties seventies, and
Speaker 2: my mom was raised there. I grew up there as
Speaker 2: a kid. It always freaked me out. I always had
Speaker 2: that feeling of just I just didn't like it there.
Speaker 2: My mom had to come pick me up in the
Speaker 2: middle of the night. All this stuff. It was like
Speaker 2: a split level home and it was like built into
Speaker 2: the side of the mountain and even yeah, and so
Speaker 2: you know, you hear about like natural elements like affecting
Speaker 2: energies and things like that, And there was a part
Speaker 2: downstairs where you would open up, like the closet under
Speaker 2: the stairs. There was another door in the closet you
Speaker 2: opened up, and the mountain is literally behind the door.
Speaker 1: Weird.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was very creepy. So fast forward to about
Speaker 2: like two thousand and seven. Unfortunately, my grandmother had gotten
Speaker 2: cancer and at this point she couldn't really be alone,
Speaker 2: and I was staying with her for the weekend. And
Speaker 2: my grandma had this like a night routine and that
Speaker 2: I don't know if TV still do this, but you
Speaker 2: could put the timer on the TV to like shut
Speaker 2: off after like thirty minutes or so, okay, and it
Speaker 2: was super loud. She couldn't hear anything. And I was
Speaker 2: on the phone with my husband.
Speaker 6: I was getting ready to go to bed, and I
Speaker 6: was turning off the life and I distinctly remember making
Speaker 6: a comment to him saying, oh, Grandma must be asleep
Speaker 6: because the house was like quiet, and this is it
Speaker 6: almost looks like big there.
Speaker 2: It was like you had neighbors, but not like right
Speaker 2: next door. Trees everywhere, and it was the quiet was
Speaker 2: almost loud, if that makes any sense. It was so quiet.
Speaker 1: Totally, and I wake up when it's too quiet, like
Speaker 1: I always had to have like a fan or something,
Speaker 1: and like, yes, anytime like I'm in a place where
Speaker 1: it's there, isn't that I can't. It's like it's like
Speaker 1: like I know exactly what you mean totally.
Speaker 2: So I remember the service was terrible. I had to
Speaker 2: get off the phone in the room, and I was
Speaker 2: in the room writing in a journal and it's so quiet,
Speaker 2: and out of nowhere, I hear a woman start singing.
Speaker 2: And you know that if you're like in your house
Speaker 2: and you hear your neighbors outside, you can tell it's
Speaker 2: your neighbors outside. There's a total difference when there is
Speaker 2: somebody on the outside of your door in your house,
Speaker 2: oh gosh. And it was a young woman. It was
Speaker 2: not my grandmother. And it was almost like when you're
Speaker 2: singing a song that you don't know the lyrics very
Speaker 2: well and you're just kind of singing the tune and
Speaker 2: it lasts right right, and so it was very quick,
Speaker 2: maybe like five seconds or so, and then it stopped
Speaker 2: and I was put fried, could not sleep. This is
Speaker 2: like my first paranormal experience ever. And I asked my
Speaker 2: mom the next day, like, have you ever heard this,
Speaker 2: because she's been staying there, and She's like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: It was a neighbor. They were getting out of their car,
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, all right, okay, total skeptic. She
Speaker 2: didn't believe any of it. So unfortunately, my grandmother ended
Speaker 2: up passing away like maybe six months to a year later.
Speaker 2: And this was in the market in California was awful,
Speaker 2: and my parents didn't want to sell the home yet,
Speaker 2: so like, you guys want to move in, so we're
Speaker 2: like sure, okay, So we moved in and the whole
Speaker 2: backside of the house was like windows and side and
Speaker 2: glass doors, and back in the day you could see
Speaker 2: like Catalina Island. From up here you can see Disney
Speaker 2: fireworks like it's pretty upligh. Oh yeah, it was beautiful
Speaker 2: during the day. But because my grandmother loved that, she
Speaker 2: had no curtains, no blinds, nothing, so at night at
Speaker 2: night they turned into like mirrors. You know.
Speaker 1: Oh I hate that is my biggest My best friend
Speaker 1: Sam Pancake form of podcast, because he has no problem
Speaker 1: with no curtains and that drives me insane at nighttime
Speaker 1: when people could see in mass.
Speaker 2: Yes, I pictured the strangers at the bottom of the hill,
Speaker 2: just like plotting my desk down below. I couldn't handle it.
Speaker 2: But we had just moved in and they were all customed.
Speaker 2: They were huge, so we had to like order them.
Speaker 2: So we didn't have any curtains or blinds at this point.
Speaker 2: And my best friend was over and we were having
Speaker 2: a game night and she was facing into my dining
Speaker 2: room and we're just chatting whatever, and she tells me.
Speaker 2: She pulls me aside. However, long later and she goes,
Speaker 2: I need to tell you something, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: what happened. She's like, there was a man walking in
Speaker 2: your dining room. I was like what, And it was
Speaker 2: like clear as gay, Like she even saw the reflection
Speaker 2: in the in the windows.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And she said he had sandy brown hair, older man,
Speaker 2: a mint colored sweater, khaki pants, like described it all
Speaker 2: to me, and I was like, oh my gosh. But
Speaker 2: her mom has seen things before, like they're very sensitive
Speaker 2: to that and she is like the most level headed
Speaker 2: person ever. So it was so bizarre.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, it was crazy. And I of course
Speaker 2: had no idea. You know, I'd never seen anything like
Speaker 2: that before.
Speaker 1: So there's two ghosts, yeah, or it could be a
Speaker 1: man with a lady voice. I listen, it's they they exist.
Speaker 1: Don't ask me how I know.
Speaker 2: I believe it.
Speaker 4: I believe it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's the second thing that had happened.
Speaker 2: Well after that, we were getting settled and everything and
Speaker 2: and you'll understand this because you live in California. But
Speaker 2: and I don't know if you felt the earthquake yesterday
Speaker 2: that we had, but when oh yeah, it was in
Speaker 2: like Wildemart. But when you hear like you can almost
Speaker 2: hear an earthquake coming before it hits.
Speaker 1: Sometimes yeah, you can hear the yes.
Speaker 2: And you can like brace yourself. Well, like I said,
Speaker 2: like half the house, like the whole backside the house
Speaker 2: was windows and siding, glass doors, and I'd be just
Speaker 2: sitting It would happen in the daytime, like any time
Speaker 2: of day. I'd just be sitting there and all the
Speaker 2: doors and the windows would start shaking. Nothing else, just
Speaker 2: the windows and doors.
Speaker 1: Would you look like an earthquake?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean eventually I realized like, okay, this
Speaker 2: is this just this again, it's not an earthquake. But
Speaker 2: it was the craziest thing because it was I would
Speaker 2: like look for other things to shake, and I wouldn't
Speaker 2: feel anything.
Speaker 1: Because when you live in La, there's this thing on
Speaker 1: social media, or in California when or probably any earthquake
Speaker 1: area where social media, there's always got to be that
Speaker 1: one person that has to be the first one that's like,
Speaker 1: there's an earthquake, I'm the first one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I feel like anytime I feel something shake like that,
Speaker 1: I check right.
Speaker 2: Away, exactly, Yeah, and it'll just be a status that
Speaker 2: just as earthquake, nothing else.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: So that was like a really weird thing that would happen.
Speaker 2: At one point, my husband and I were getting right,
Speaker 2: this is like a split level home it was very weird.
Speaker 2: We lived down a private driveway and the stairs were
Speaker 2: like in the middle of the house, and it was
Speaker 2: this dark, like dungeony area. There's no windows, just in
Speaker 2: the middle of the house and you just had to
Speaker 2: walk straight down into the middle the downstairs, and we
Speaker 2: were right in that area. Always crazy goes out and
Speaker 2: we saw dead in our tracks. We were both talking
Speaker 2: like whatever, getting ready to go, and we both looked
Speaker 2: at each other because one of us thought we heard
Speaker 2: a gaul coming from downstairs, and one of us thought
Speaker 2: it was maybe like a weird laugh. And my husband
Speaker 2: went down there, checked everything out. Nothing, couldn't find anything.
Speaker 2: One night, we were sleeping and the bed started to shake.
Speaker 2: I don't I can't remember if that happened more than once,
Speaker 2: but my husband distinctly remembers that we were awoken one
Speaker 2: night to like a massive violent crash. We got up nothing,
Speaker 2: couldn't find anything that was disturbed. Nothing. We had a
Speaker 2: few cats and a dog and they would do like
Speaker 2: the typical fit in the corner and look up into
Speaker 2: the you know, ceiling, which was always Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: not so not great.
Speaker 1: But your mother grew up there. I mean, did you
Speaker 1: know any of like the history of like what that
Speaker 1: could have been.
Speaker 2: No, well, she was such a skeptic, like anytime I
Speaker 2: even brought anything up to her, she didn't believe anything. Nothing.
Speaker 1: Wow. So there was never family stories. Grandma didn't have stories.
Speaker 1: Nothing like that.
Speaker 2: No, nothing interesting. So I mean, there is something that
Speaker 2: I'll get to that and then it might make a
Speaker 2: little bit more sense.
Speaker 1: But okay.
Speaker 2: So and then, uh, one time I was sitting in
Speaker 2: the bedroom and something slashed across the mirror as I
Speaker 2: was sitting on the bed, and there was nothing else
Speaker 2: in there with me. So that's kind of like your
Speaker 2: run of the mill like creepy stuff that happened. Well,
Speaker 2: fast forward like a year or so into living there,
Speaker 2: and I was at I think it was my mom's house,
Speaker 2: and we were going through old photos and I find
Speaker 2: this photo of her dad, who I had never met,
Speaker 2: who died before I was born, with sandy brown hair,
Speaker 2: in a mint colored sweater with khaki camps. Okay, And
Speaker 2: I ended up finding out later he died in the home.
Speaker 2: But she didn't want to tell me that, saying, God,
Speaker 2: you know why I was living there, you know, because
Speaker 2: she figured that would scare me. So that was kind
Speaker 2: of that was like the moment where it kind of
Speaker 2: like she got a little bit like, Okay, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: there is something going on. Well, this was probably like
Speaker 2: a year or two into us living into the house,
Speaker 2: and it was my birthday and we decided we wanted
Speaker 2: to go. We were married on the Queen Mary. Actually
Speaker 2: the Queen Mary.
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Queen Mary in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I have a room booked at one of the famous
Speaker 1: haunted rooms. I'm going with some B three forty that
Speaker 1: sounds about right, Yeah, okay, and we're going to stay
Speaker 1: up all night and see what happens.
Speaker 2: Oh you have to Okay. Well, so we were married
Speaker 2: there in two thousand and six and it just has
Speaker 2: always held such a special place and so we go
Speaker 2: back all the time, all the time, go Christmas, whatever. Well,
Speaker 2: this particular year, we decided to stay in the suite
Speaker 2: a suite there with my husband sisters, and we decide
Speaker 2: we're going to go ghost hunting. And this was like
Speaker 2: pre like iPhones and stuff, so you you had to
Speaker 2: like buy digital recorders and that sort of thing. And
Speaker 2: so we got one and we're we're at home and
Speaker 2: we're trying to figure out how to use it, and
Speaker 2: my husband has a genius idea to test out in
Speaker 2: our bedroom. So he by himself goes into our bedroom
Speaker 2: and starts asking, you know, your typical like is anyone
Speaker 2: here kind of questions, and he comes out and he goes,
Speaker 2: there's something on the recorder. I was like, okay, And
Speaker 2: we always watch ghost Hunters and all those shows that like,
Speaker 2: we knew the process, we knew what it was like,
Speaker 2: and sure enough there was an EVP, not an ev please,
Speaker 2: and not an evy please at all weird as day.
Speaker 2: And it was almost like the best way I can
Speaker 2: describe it is like if you know someone who's trying
Speaker 2: to whisper, but they're not a very good whisper, and
Speaker 2: they're still really loud.
Speaker 1: They're trying to, like my children, try to whisper something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, and it's a man in a rassy voice
Speaker 2: that says get out, no, yeah, in my bedroom.
Speaker 1: That's not grandpa.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I always wondered, and I have I
Speaker 2: may have a conclusion that I'll tell you about when
Speaker 2: I get to the story. So I have lots of
Speaker 2: stuff to tell you. So we go to the Queen
Speaker 2: Mary and this was Actually they have like regular ghost
Speaker 2: hunting like tours or ghost tours there that you can
Speaker 2: just take I think, like every day, but this was
Speaker 2: like a specific like event with like I think it
Speaker 2: was like a medium or a psychic or something along
Speaker 2: those lines. And so she took us into the pool area.
Speaker 2: And I hope you get to see that when you go,
Speaker 2: because it's unlike anything I've ever seen. It's like a
Speaker 2: two story pool area. The pool is like fifteen feet
Speaker 2: deep or more like it's crazy. And they actually claim
Speaker 2: that the vortex is in that area and there's changing
Speaker 2: rooms into the pool, but.
Speaker 1: It's not like a pool that like guests can swim in, right.
Speaker 2: No, it's drained now yeah, totally drained. Yeah yeah, no,
Speaker 2: you can't get in it. But it's very deep. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: And they say there's a little girl, Jackie who's in
Speaker 2: the pool area. So they claim so I don't know
Speaker 2: if you've ever heard of dousing rods for like okay,
Speaker 2: so she had those and split our group into two.
Speaker 1: What that is is like you hold these two rods
Speaker 1: and like what they cross, like you asked yes or
Speaker 1: no questions, right yeah, And they.
Speaker 2: Kind of look like metal coat hangers that like have
Speaker 2: bent to like an L shape. Yeah, yeah, and they
Speaker 2: I think people you see use them back in the
Speaker 2: day to find water like back in the day, but
Speaker 2: don't quote me on that, but they they'll like spin
Speaker 2: around and all that kind of stuff. And I mean
Speaker 2: they were kind of spinning around, not not doing anything
Speaker 2: too crazy. The first group goes into the changing room.
Speaker 2: We're watching people, and my husband's like, take them, take them, like,
Speaker 2: you know, try it, and I, you know, took them,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, they just started spinning as
Speaker 2: I held on to them, and I didn't really know
Speaker 2: what it meant, Like I can't remember if there were
Speaker 2: any questions being asked or anything, but I mean, there's
Speaker 2: no way that you can spin them around in your hand.
Speaker 2: There's just no way. And so I ended up like
Speaker 2: giving them to a man because it was our term
Speaker 2: to go into the changing room. And that's where the
Speaker 2: craziest part happens, because he took the dowsing rods and
Speaker 2: they both like faced me and slowly followed my path
Speaker 2: the entire way from where I handed them off, all
Speaker 2: the way around the pool. As I entered into the
Speaker 2: changing rooms, they followed me step by step. So then
Speaker 2: the lady came and like got me in the changing
Speaker 2: room to tell me like what happened and everything. So
Speaker 2: that that was a really crazy experience. And we more
Speaker 2: recently have caught like voices just like doing home videos
Speaker 2: on the Queen Mary watching my kids run around and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's definitely a very interesting place for sure.
Speaker 1: Well, if you get a good EVP, send it to
Speaker 1: me sometimes.
Speaker 2: You know what I should if I can, if I
Speaker 2: can like find the videos that we took, I'll email
Speaker 2: them to you. It was, it was, It was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: So anyway, so that was like most of what happened
Speaker 2: in the house. But one more thing is so I
Speaker 2: listened to her episode obviously with Elena the Medium. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I need to talk to her
Speaker 2: for obviously some personal reasons, but I also wanted to
Speaker 2: see if she could give me any insight to what
Speaker 2: happened at the house.
Speaker 1: Oh and.
Speaker 2: Yes, so I just talked to her like a week ago.
Speaker 2: Maybe I had a reading with her. Way, Yes, I
Speaker 2: love her. I've gone in her like lives and we've
Speaker 2: like chatted. She's awesome. I love her. So if anybody
Speaker 2: needs a reading, contact her for sure.
Speaker 1: And she was like, she's not paying us to say
Speaker 1: this stuff, like we genuinely meanilus's And so.
Speaker 2: We chatted about, you know, stuff about me whatever, and
Speaker 2: then I said, you know, I just I'm just wondering,
Speaker 2: you know, is there Could you tell me anything about
Speaker 2: the house that I lived in? And because I've always wondered,
Speaker 2: was it my grandpa doing these things?
Speaker 1: You don't live there anymore? Huh do you live there still?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh gosh no no no, no, no no no. Yeah,
Speaker 2: moved out maybe like seven years ago, so it's been
Speaker 2: a while. Yeah. So, uh, we talked about the house
Speaker 2: a little bit, and she goes, the woman was completely residual.
Speaker 2: She was a total residual hunting, hunting and then which
Speaker 2: means she didn't even like know she was dead. She said,
Speaker 2: got it. And then she goes, but she's like, I'll
Speaker 2: tell you right now, that was not your grandpa doing
Speaker 2: all that stuff. And she said, that was a complete
Speaker 2: evil entity in your home. And he picked up on
Speaker 2: my energy. I'm very open and things like that, and
Speaker 2: she said that he just paid step on that energy.
Speaker 2: And I'm you know, you always hear that fear can
Speaker 2: feed that sort of stuff too. So I'm sure that
Speaker 2: that had something to do with it, because it was terrifying.
Speaker 2: But she said he could even describe him to me.
Speaker 2: She could even like kind of visualize the entity, and
Speaker 2: she said that he looked like he was like super tall,
Speaker 2: but he was actually just very lanky, so it was
Speaker 2: kind of like he wasn't as tall as he looked.
Speaker 1: She also told me that a tall, kind of lanky
Speaker 1: guy has a crush on me and I should date him.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's him?
Speaker 2: I hope not.
Speaker 4: I really hope not.
Speaker 2: Stay away, not goodbye? Oh okay, okay, never mind, totally
Speaker 2: totally so.
Speaker 1: But but but that was your grandfather that was in
Speaker 1: the dining room, right, Yes, there was just afore.
Speaker 2: Even yeah, oh yeah, yeah, at least those three for sure.
Speaker 2: And you died before I was even born. So my
Speaker 2: best friend that I met in sixth grade definitely isn't
Speaker 2: gonna know what he looks like either, you know, let
Speaker 2: alone seeing the picture of him wearing the exact outfit
Speaker 2: that she had seen.
Speaker 1: That this is such a good haunted house, Like you've
Speaker 1: got all the elements here, like you've got all the
Speaker 1: things that have happened, and then you also have like
Speaker 1: that scene from the movie where you're looking through old
Speaker 1: photos and then you find the jokes. Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. We are joined by Arena Hi Rena,
Speaker 1: Hi Ros. Where are you from?
Speaker 5: Originally I'm from Arizona, but right now I live in
Speaker 5: Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 1: Love it me too. Have we ever met before?
Speaker 5: Oh? My god, maybe we have. I don't know. You
Speaker 5: come to thee the Tamo Shanter the restaurant, I know,
Speaker 5: but I've never been.
Speaker 1: It's it's like at Water Village, right. Is that that's
Speaker 1: technically at water Village.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's that Atwater Village Lost Le's area. It's literally
Speaker 5: on Los Le's Yeah.
Speaker 1: I passed by it all the time.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, you should come.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I should.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 5: The restaurant itself kind of looks like a cottage. The
Speaker 5: inside sort of looks like Mister Toad's Wild Ride at
Speaker 5: Disneyland Fun and it's like a cool like yeah, like
Speaker 5: British manor kind of pub stle restaurant. So when I
Speaker 5: started working there, I was like, this place has to
Speaker 5: be haunted. It's ninety seven years old.
Speaker 2: Wow, I know.
Speaker 5: It's the oldest family owned restaurant in La there's a
Speaker 5: few that are older, but it's like it's the one
Speaker 5: that's been owned by single family the longest, so that's
Speaker 5: where it claimed the same. Wow. But yeah, So my
Speaker 5: my first thing to do when I like meet anybody
Speaker 5: is like, tell me a ghost story, and then I
Speaker 5: can determine if I can continue to hang out with
Speaker 5: a person.
Speaker 1: It sounds like.
Speaker 5: If they're like, uh, what, you're weirdom like goodbye, No,
Speaker 5: not my people. So but of course everybody there is
Speaker 5: like super excited to talk about their stories because everybody
Speaker 5: has one. And my favorite is, uh, we had a
Speaker 5: dishwasher who was this like really tall, burly guy, like
Speaker 5: didn't take shit from anybody, afraid of nothing. And one
Speaker 5: day he was taking his break in this room that
Speaker 5: we call the guard's room, which is actually, funnily enough,
Speaker 5: the room that they filmed Dwight's bachelor party in in
Speaker 5: the final the final episode of The Office.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, like we're in that.
Speaker 5: They're in that British pub that's the Tamila Shanter. So
Speaker 5: that scene was filmed in this room. So this guy
Speaker 5: was sitting in there and there's like a big sliding
Speaker 5: wooden door that we shut to like close it off
Speaker 5: as a break room for staff. And he was in
Speaker 5: there alone and he sees something out the corner of
Speaker 5: his eye and he looks up and it's a little boy,
Speaker 5: and he was just like what And it's just a
Speaker 5: little kid that's standing there, and he's like stringing hers
Speaker 5: over his face. But the weirdest part about the little
Speaker 5: boy is but he's butt naked, what I know. And
Speaker 5: then this naked little boy just walks past him and
Speaker 5: walks directly into a law and disappears.
Speaker 1: Okay, weird.
Speaker 5: Child ghosts are the most terrifying. It's been established many
Speaker 5: times on this show.
Speaker 7: But honestly, I don't think I've ever heard child ghost
Speaker 7: I've never heard of any naked ghosts. It's so weird because,
Speaker 7: like you know, obviously, in my mind, I like to
Speaker 7: believe that you can, you know, choose whatever outfit you want.
Speaker 1: To wear as a ghost. But yeah, you would think so,
Speaker 1: but uh, I guess you could choose to be naked.
Speaker 1: Who knows. But other people have seen this little boy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's like a common story. People were like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: little boy, naked, little naked boy, he's just he's just chilling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's technically not you know, violating health
Speaker 1: codes if he's uh, you know, a ghost.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, he's just he's just living his life. Another
Speaker 5: one of my favorite stories is we had two cleaning
Speaker 5: ladies quit one summer, not at the same time, like
Speaker 5: two weeks apart from each other, like this lady quit
Speaker 5: and then her replacement also quit. They were upstairs cleaning
Speaker 5: at like two in the morning and they saw a
Speaker 5: faithless woman upstairs.
Speaker 1: Faithless and I don't know what that means.
Speaker 5: I don't care to know what that means, but that
Speaker 5: sounds terrifying.
Speaker 2: Goodbye.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So what have you experienced?
Speaker 5: Okay, so everybody has always told me that there's a
Speaker 5: ghost that throws things, shot glasses, plates, whatever, and there's
Speaker 5: a lot of things that will happen where it kind
Speaker 5: of doesn't really catch you off guard because it's so
Speaker 5: weird when it happens, and it's like, oh, I thought
Speaker 5: I'd put that over there, but now it's over here,
Speaker 5: or now it's on the floor, and it's just like, oh, well,
Speaker 5: maybe it fell or whatever, but it's just like it
Speaker 5: was ghosts Was that an a cool boy?
Speaker 1: But something iceless? Woman. She doesn't know where she's putting things.
Speaker 1: She can't say it doesn't have a face.
Speaker 2: No, that's face.
Speaker 5: You can't blame her. So something finally actually super weird
Speaker 5: happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I had
Speaker 5: a couple of cakes in the oven, and I had
Speaker 5: propped to open the refrigerator door so that I wouldn't
Speaker 5: have to open it while I was carrying the hot pan.
Speaker 5: So I went around the corner, I got my cakes
Speaker 5: out of the oven, and I came back around to
Speaker 5: walk into the refrigerator. And then I see somebody walk
Speaker 5: into the refrigerator that's propped open. It walked into the
Speaker 5: refrigerator like through the open door, but the door is
Speaker 5: open like towards me. So I'm seeing this person walk
Speaker 5: on the other side of the door, and I just
Speaker 5: barely caught what he looked like, and it didn't register
Speaker 5: as like who is that to me? Because he was
Speaker 5: about the same like height and build as our dishwasher,
Speaker 5: and he was wearing a baseball hat and a chef's coat,
Speaker 5: which is like what everybody wears who works in the kitchen,
Speaker 5: and so just thinking that it was a person that
Speaker 5: I knew or a person who worked there. As soon
Speaker 5: as I came around the corner, like in a restaurant,
Speaker 5: you yell corner because if somebody's setting something down in
Speaker 5: the refrigerator and they come back out, you don't want
Speaker 5: them to run into you or your hot cake pan.
Speaker 5: So I yell corner and walk around the corner and
Speaker 5: there's nobody in the refrigerator. So we got a chets
Speaker 5: go stepping here, and he wasn't in the freezer prior
Speaker 5: to the refrigerator, because then I was like, oh, that's weird.
Speaker 5: Maybe he went in the freezer. So I went and
Speaker 5: looked in the three and he's also not in there.
Speaker 5: And at that point, my chef comes in and he's like,
Speaker 5: what are you doing? And I was like, uh, like
Speaker 5: for stuff. And he's like, what are you looking for?
Speaker 5: And I was like go because at this point I'm
Speaker 5: like super freaked out. And he's like, what are you
Speaker 5: talking about? So I described what's just happening. He's like,
Speaker 5: that's weird. Let's go check the security tape. And I
Speaker 5: was like, oh my god, I'm gonna be stamous. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna be on freaking ghost adventures or something because I
Speaker 5: card ghosts on tape. And the tape is so weird
Speaker 5: because you see me in the tape look up at
Speaker 5: something that isn't there and take corner and then walk
Speaker 5: around the corner. But there's nothing on the tape. It's
Speaker 5: just me looking at hing. I know, I have chills.
Speaker 1: And that was the first time you ever saw a
Speaker 1: ghost there.
Speaker 5: Yes, it was so weird because they didn't even register
Speaker 5: it as a ghosts at the time because it wasn't like, whooh,
Speaker 5: it's scary. It was a solid person who just walked
Speaker 5: into the refrigerator. And then it was weird because there
Speaker 5: was nobody there and I'm like.
Speaker 1: Oh what okay, so I oh sorry.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, No, no, no, that's fine. I guess. I guess
Speaker 5: there's a lot that a lot of ghosts that are
Speaker 5: just like that. At the restaurant, Like there's an old
Speaker 5: lady that's in one of the rooms and people say
Speaker 5: that they see her and they're like, oh, we didn't
Speaker 5: see anybody there, and then they turn around she's gone.
Speaker 5: But she just looks like an old old lady.
Speaker 1: Does she order things and not?
Speaker 5: That's rude us dine and dashco.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, that's so weird. Why are there so
Speaker 1: many ghosts there? What is what is the history in
Speaker 1: this ninety seven years.
Speaker 5: I you know, I don't know, but a lot of
Speaker 5: servers have stories of like I don't know if I
Speaker 5: should say those like, but old people frequent the restaurant,
Speaker 5: and there have been a few people who have just
Speaker 5: had heart attacks and like fell down and died in
Speaker 5: this restaurant. Really, it just has a very like, uh,
Speaker 5: I don't want to call it like an oppressive energy,
Speaker 5: but you always feel like there's somebody in the room
Speaker 5: with you, even if the room is empty, Like it's
Speaker 5: just it's a presence that's anywhere you go in the restaurant. Yeah,
Speaker 5: super weird. But I think that old lady orders food
Speaker 5: sometimes because I sometimes help out to be a food runner,
Speaker 5: and when the servers put in tickets for food, they
Speaker 5: come up on our side like a little receipt machine
Speaker 5: will spend out a ticket and I'll say, like, oh,
Speaker 5: this table number needs this food, so we can start
Speaker 5: prepping it and the server will come back and get
Speaker 5: it from us, or we'll take it out to the restaurants.
Speaker 5: It's really busy. So I get a ticket and it
Speaker 5: has a salad on it. So we start prepping the
Speaker 5: salad and then time for it to come out, and
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, what worse there is? So I look
Speaker 5: out in the restaurant and I'm like, Sarah, your salad's ready,
Speaker 5: and she's like what what solid I was like, the
Speaker 5: salad for table sixty three and she's like, there's nobody
Speaker 5: even at sixty three, and I was like okay. So
Speaker 5: I asked all the other servers. I was like, Hey,
Speaker 5: does anybody accidentally put in sixty three for the salad?
Speaker 5: And everyone's like no, literally no, we order salad. There's
Speaker 5: also nobody here, and so rather than throwing away the salad,
Speaker 5: we all just ate it, which is probably a bad
Speaker 5: thing because we're probably all curse now we go salad.
Speaker 1: Go salad. Wow, that's so weird. I'm I'm definitely gonna
Speaker 1: go now.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, please come visit. I mean, like, it's
Speaker 5: my favorite place to like take people, and the service
Speaker 5: staff is all amazing. Everyone there is so nice. I
Speaker 5: call everyone there my family, Oh, Tam Shanter and her family.
Speaker 5: So I when I got a full time job. After
Speaker 5: I started working there, I'm like, oh, I don't want
Speaker 5: to leave, Like it's so much fun. And my chef
Speaker 5: was like, you can just come in like a day
Speaker 5: week if you want to. He said, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 5: Like can I do that? So it's kind of like
Speaker 5: my hobby that I get paid for.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 5: It is really cool. I love boomer and it's just
Speaker 5: like it's a cool place to be.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice to hear. And also the fact that
Speaker 1: everyone and has had ghost experiences there. It's nice that
Speaker 1: like they believe you, and you know, it's kind of
Speaker 1: cool that you guys can share that.
Speaker 5: Oh my god. Right, if I was like the only person,
Speaker 5: I would be mad. You'll be like espression. I was
Speaker 5: ninety seven, y'all, Like, you know, it's got to be haunted.
Speaker 5: But like everyone is totally bought into the fact that
Speaker 5: they're like, oh yeah, it's haunted, Like everybody has seen something.
Speaker 5: It's it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Well that's it. Thank you so much.

Speaker 1: Oh wow, Buffalo, New York.
Speaker 5: Cool?
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for being a listener.
Speaker 8: It's my pleasure.
Speaker 1: Okay, what is your ghost story? Heidi?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 8: The ghost story that I sent in is and has
Speaker 8: to do with back when I was in college and
Speaker 8: I was working overnights. I would be up all night
Speaker 8: when I was home and my now husband boyfriend at
Speaker 8: the time also worked at the restaurant. And one night
Speaker 8: he was there and I was home with our new puppy,
Speaker 8: and I took the puppy outside and the puppy did
Speaker 8: not want to go in and ran to the back
Speaker 8: of the garden. He was whimpering and scared. And when
Speaker 8: I looked back towards the house because my phone started ringing,
Speaker 8: I notice in the hallway in front of the window
Speaker 8: that looked outside a figure that looked like it was
Speaker 8: standing in that hallway looking out at us. It looked
Speaker 8: like someone in a hoodie. So I had assumed it
Speaker 8: was in a strange friend that we had kicked out
Speaker 8: recently and had come back to get some of his stuff.
Speaker 8: I went to get the dog from the back of
Speaker 8: the garden and he did not want to come, so
Speaker 8: I ended up picking him up and dragging him back.
Speaker 8: I had tried calling out to the figure in the hallway,
Speaker 8: but they did not respond, And when we got.
Speaker 2: Closer to the house.
Speaker 8: Yeah, when we got closer to the house, I realized
Speaker 8: that he wasn't there anymore than whoever was in the hallway,
Speaker 8: and the dog still didn't want to come inside.
Speaker 1: God, wait, did you think that?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 1: You literally like it didn't look like a ghost. You
Speaker 1: were like, that's an old friend and a hoodie.
Speaker 8: I thought, well, I've seen shadow people since then, so
Speaker 8: I thought maybe that was a connection, that it was
Speaker 8: like a shadow figure.
Speaker 2: But at the time I didn't know.
Speaker 8: What that was, and I thought it was a figure,
Speaker 8: like I thought there was an intruder or this person
Speaker 8: had come back to get some of his stuff, and
Speaker 8: I thought it was a person standing there. Basically, oh
Speaker 8: my god. Yeah, the dog didn't want.
Speaker 2: To go in.
Speaker 8: He was went brand, he was fighting me. I kind
Speaker 8: of dragged him back into the house. Whoever had been
Speaker 8: there was gone.
Speaker 2: The dog bolted past.
Speaker 8: Me into the inside of the house, and when I
Speaker 8: walked through the door, there's a basement door right there
Speaker 8: leading also back to the backyard into that hallway. The
Speaker 8: basement door kind of flew open and.
Speaker 1: Hit me.
Speaker 8: As though someone were in there and had, you know,
Speaker 8: shoved the door into me.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that freaked me out.
Speaker 8: So I fought back against it, and I pushed it
Speaker 8: against it, but I kept feeling someone like hitting it,
Speaker 8: like they were trying to bust it down. So I
Speaker 8: finally got it shut and I latched it and only
Speaker 8: locked from the outside. It was kind of one of
Speaker 8: those sliding locks. And yeah, so I could still hear
Speaker 8: them like trying to bust down the door from inside there,
Speaker 8: even though it was locked. And I went to get
Speaker 8: my phone and I called my boyfriend at the time
Speaker 8: working at the restaurant and told him someone was in
Speaker 8: the basement trying to get out and you.
Speaker 2: Know, confront me.
Speaker 8: They weren't talking to me, so I thought it was
Speaker 8: someone trying to attack us or you know, rob us.
Speaker 8: And I also called the police officer friend and he
Speaker 8: said that he would come over if if we needed
Speaker 8: him to, but to try to talk, you know, because
Speaker 8: I thought it was this friend of ours.
Speaker 1: Like who are you? Why are you at my house?
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I was just loudly talking on
Speaker 8: the phone, you know. I was like, you know, I think,
Speaker 8: I think such and such is down in the basement
Speaker 8: and he's trying to bust out here and he's not
Speaker 8: answering me, you know. And some of my boyfriend at
Speaker 8: the time said that he would bring one of our
Speaker 8: coworkers with him because they were about to get off
Speaker 8: their shift, and that they would.
Speaker 5: Come talk to him.
Speaker 8: But I was still very freaked out, and even remembering
Speaker 8: it kind of freaks me out.
Speaker 2: The dog was hiding. The dog was freaked out, but
Speaker 2: I anyway.
Speaker 8: They came home and they went down into the basement.
Speaker 8: They were calling out to him whoever, and no one
Speaker 8: was answering. And when they got down there, there was
Speaker 8: no one there.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. What do you think the history was
Speaker 1: of the house.
Speaker 8: Of the house? I do not know, but a lot
Speaker 8: of creepy things did happen there while we were living there.
Speaker 8: We had other roommates who said they couldn't live there.
Speaker 8: Anymore because they were creeped out and that weird stuff
Speaker 8: was going on, but no one would give me details.
Speaker 8: It was a rental and we didn't know the landlord
Speaker 8: very well. We had had an upstairs neighbor when we
Speaker 8: moved in who passed away, but he was a very
Speaker 8: very kind person, so I can't see him like doing
Speaker 8: this malicious, like weird attack thing, whatever it was.
Speaker 1: Did anything else ever happen to you or your boyfriend
Speaker 1: at the time? Uh?
Speaker 8: Yeah, in that house, I saw.
Speaker 2: A figure at one point.
Speaker 8: It was like a full bodied figure and it was
Speaker 8: the middle of the day and I was it was
Speaker 8: like afternoon. I was home from school, sitting on the
Speaker 8: couch and somebody just walked by, but they I got
Speaker 8: up to be like, who are you?
Speaker 2: Why are in my house?
Speaker 8: And there was no one there anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. Wait, did it look like the
Speaker 1: same person?
Speaker 8: I don't know, because this was like full bodied where
Speaker 8: I could actually see the person face and the original
Speaker 8: Like the first story I told you, it was just
Speaker 8: like the silhouette of a person wearing a hoodie, like
Speaker 8: sitting in the hallway.
Speaker 1: Interesting it sounds, here's my theory. I bet you it
Speaker 1: was a robber. Somebody broke into the house and they
Speaker 1: got shot and now they're stuck in being a robber.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is just my guess. I mean,
Speaker 1: because it sounds like a neighborhood, it sounds aggressive, and
Speaker 1: if it sounds like they had a hoodie on, I mean,
Speaker 1: it sounds like a robber to me. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: And this was in where'd you say Buffalo?
Speaker 4: This was in Buffalo.
Speaker 8: It was uh an area of the West Side near
Speaker 8: Buffalo State College.
Speaker 1: Wait, I don't know my New York geography outside of
Speaker 1: the city is that. How far away are you from
Speaker 1: Long Island?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 8: Okay, it's complete opposite, like near Lake Erie, Western New York.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. Because I was gonna ask about the Amneyville House.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 5: I've not.
Speaker 4: I did read the book when I was younger.
Speaker 1: I love that stuff. It's so spooky. Okay, that's a
