Speaker 1: Patty is also a partner and vice president of paraflix
Speaker 1: dot com, which is a streaming service, and her book
Speaker 1: is called Old World Magic for the Modern World. Patty,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the programs about a couple of years
Speaker 1: it has. Thank you so much for having me back.
Speaker 1: I am thrilled and leading me in with the Stevie
Speaker 1: Nick song nothing better, Jarge, you got that right. Lots
Speaker 1: to talk with you about. How did you get involved
Speaker 1: in witchcraft and the paranormal in the first place. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I think I was just born into both of them.
Speaker 1: As long as I could remember, I literally being a toddler.
Speaker 1: I was talking to spirits, and I may knew they
Speaker 1: weren't just the imaginary friend that you know, our modern
Speaker 1: Western non mystical society explains to us. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: they gave me real information and it just didn't get
Speaker 1: taught out of me. My mom was like, yeah, Grandma
Speaker 1: did that, so okay, So it's not a devil, it's
Speaker 1: nothing bad. And so also paranormal. If you see a
Speaker 1: ghost and talk to ghost, you're going to kind of
Speaker 1: fall into that world and on the witchy side of things.
Speaker 1: On the same end, I would be in our my
Speaker 1: little suburban backyard picking rosemary and picking mint and stuffing
Speaker 1: it in my mom's wallet, knowing it would bring her
Speaker 1: more money. She was not quite their understanding, like what
Speaker 1: are you doing? No money, No, it's not money, it's weet, No,
Speaker 1: it's money. And years later I studied plants an apothecary,
Speaker 1: and I was right, you know, a little toddler running around.
Speaker 1: So it's just I think it's in the bluff and
Speaker 1: my imagination. Are more people becoming interested in the paranormal.
Speaker 1: More and more people are becoming interested in the paranormal
Speaker 1: bigger by the day, Like the show you know that
Speaker 1: I do regular ghost adventures. It's in like it's the
Speaker 1: twenty sixth season or something like that. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to do the math on TV because it's like
Speaker 1: twelve years twenty. I don't That doesn't add up math wise.
Speaker 1: But no, look at every every station. Travel Channel is
Speaker 1: almost all the regular shows like not docuseries and not
Speaker 1: reality put on a paranormal aspect to it. I last
Speaker 1: year started UM a streaming service called Paraflix. It's like Netflix,
Speaker 1: but it's all paranormal with nine new programming because everybody
Speaker 1: had already seen everything on Travel Channel and Discovery. Plus
Speaker 1: it's growing and growing and growing. Well, why the interest?
Speaker 1: I think a couple of things. One. I do think
Speaker 1: that the veil literally is stinning between the world, and
Speaker 1: more and more paranormal or unexplainable to the old fashion
Speaker 1: of logical science is happening. More haunted houses, more things,
Speaker 1: and better equipment, all these where it used to be
Speaker 1: if I as a MEETUM was going and the ghost
Speaker 1: is waving their left hand saying hi, and people believe
Speaker 1: me or not believe me. Now there's this new invention
Speaker 1: called the n SLS camera that I'm in one room
Speaker 1: going the ghost is waving their hand left and right,
Speaker 1: and somebody in a different room with the camera is
Speaker 1: showing a green stick figure doing the same thing. We
Speaker 1: are not in contact with each other, so science is
Speaker 1: catching up. So I think it's more stuff, is it? Literally,
Speaker 1: as we move into that age of Aquarius they sang
Speaker 1: about it in the sixties. It's a different world. It's
Speaker 1: not our parents world and parents parents parents world. The
Speaker 1: veil is center. So more stuff, better equipment. That kind
Speaker 1: of start starting to prove it. And I think the
Speaker 1: other reason is the world is scary, and so people
Speaker 1: are want something to know there's something else out there.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a bad, pure normal experienced, Patty,
Speaker 1: I have had a couple you have, Can you share
Speaker 1: them with us? Yes, I bladly will again. I've since
Speaker 1: I was a little kid, always believed that it's not
Speaker 1: overly's scary. I mean, there's good ghosts and bad ghosts.
Speaker 1: But I've always had a respect. But whenever you get
Speaker 1: in trouble, it's like everybody wants to be respected humans
Speaker 1: and not humans or dead humans. I was doing a sance,
Speaker 1: one of the things I'm known for. We were actually
Speaker 1: filming a documentary in my neighborhood. I live in an
Speaker 1: old Hollywood Hills neighborhood from the nineteen twenties, and it
Speaker 1: was this very own haunted house. It had been built
Speaker 1: by Charlie Chaplin for one of his many girlfriends, Mary
Speaker 1: Aster Mary Aster House. She was an old silent film
Speaker 1: and it was a super big party house. And in
Speaker 1: my experience, when you have a lot of maybe drugs
Speaker 1: and alcohol, it's kind of bringing in some darker stuff,
Speaker 1: but hals in old Hollywood. And then in the nineteen sixties,
Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones manager bought it, so the Rolling Stone
Speaker 1: stayed there, Mamas and Papa's, Graham Parsons, all these really creaty,
Speaker 1: you know, musical people. And then they moved out. And
Speaker 1: then the guy who invented the real life sex doll
Speaker 1: moved in, and then he moved out. And then my
Speaker 1: neighbor for seven years, Marilyn Manson, moved in. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and then it got too scary for him. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so this house attracts creative, chaotic sometimes as dark people,
Speaker 1: but known for being haunted. And we were doing a
Speaker 1: seance and for a document three there were four cameras
Speaker 1: and young people around the table like when you're not
Speaker 1: too far into your twenties, but past puberty, I think
Speaker 1: your life force is so high you're gonna get more
Speaker 1: and more paranormal activity, just like Poltergeis. Stuff always happens
Speaker 1: with teens. So anyway, with young people around the table,
Speaker 1: four camera shoots, and this one kid just kept getting
Speaker 1: disrespectful and I should have caught him earlier, but I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're filming, this is whatever. And so first and I
Speaker 1: talked to the spirits because I raised a veil, and
Speaker 1: he said something really kind of idiotic, and the French
Speaker 1: door flew open. Everybody's kind of screaming. I'm like going,
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's pretty major for this. Okay, close the door.
Speaker 1: And then he said something again, and then it happened again,
Speaker 1: like okay, and I'm just trying to keep it cool,
Speaker 1: but I've felt the agitation of this one spirit. It
Speaker 1: wasn't demonic. I think demons get way too much credit.
Speaker 1: It's like, was just a cranky, yes ghost, but really mad.
Speaker 1: And then and then he said something else, and then
Speaker 1: the speaker came on, you know old school speakers, those
Speaker 1: kind that you would sit by the radio. This is
Speaker 1: a record player. The bigger the better. It came on
Speaker 1: like white noise. It sounded literally like a ghost box,
Speaker 1: a spirit box. Um. We looked later it wasn't plugged in.
Speaker 1: But this tension is building and I'm trying to keep
Speaker 1: control on it. But I hadn't. Um. We were using
Speaker 1: Luiji board, which I've used safely since I was seven. Um.
Speaker 1: But that's the problem. Yeah, we can talk about that too.
Speaker 1: But the kids said something again. Really and not him,
Speaker 1: but the cameraman facing him burst into flames, like the
Speaker 1: cameraman burst in the flames for the camera cameraman, Yes,
Speaker 1: the back of him, like it looked like a v
Speaker 1: up his back like angel wings a fire or he
Speaker 1: was not standing in front of a fireplace. Hurt well yeah, burnt.
Speaker 1: Two cameras actually caught it, this guy spontaneously combusting. One
Speaker 1: camera started filming like the ceiling or the floor. I
Speaker 1: think you test the metal of a cameraman by a
Speaker 1: small room with a lot of people bursting into flames
Speaker 1: and his camera. Poor guy, those first seconds, he's wondering.
Speaker 1: He's facing of course away from his back and wondering
Speaker 1: why the whole dreaming and pointing at him and myself
Speaker 1: you know cool, which medium patty becomes a medic patty,
Speaker 1: of which I am, I'm an emt a. I am
Speaker 1: you gotta be. And I'm like Robin Roll and I'm
Speaker 1: calling in all my guardians and wards to shut it down.
Speaker 1: I'm like, we are done. I don't care what we're filming.
Speaker 1: This is not okay. No one bursts into flames on
Speaker 1: my watch. I'm like, oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 1: His shirt burnt off him George, like it was a synthetic.
Speaker 1: It was a heavy cotton. It burnt off like it
Speaker 1: was a poly and I assumed there was no natural
Speaker 1: excuse for why it happened. Zero Now after Roll excuse,
Speaker 1: there was none, and we caught it. So but I'm like,
Speaker 1: we are done. But the guy who caught on fire,
Speaker 1: here's a filmmaker. He's had a super skeptic he was
Speaker 1: so in awe that he caught on fire. He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, I'm you're not okay. It's like I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'm like you talk okay. He's like, no, look I
Speaker 1: have a sweater. He took off that burnt shirt. He's like,
Speaker 1: we could do this, so I you know, I tried
Speaker 1: to talk to the spirits. I'm like, we're not even
Speaker 1: done again, rid of you. I looked at the kid
Speaker 1: who caused all this, and he was no longer going
Speaker 1: to be any trouble. He became like the choir boy
Speaker 1: in the corner, like never a word to speak once
Speaker 1: you see that. So um, Anyway, we finished it. Some
Speaker 1: more crazy stuff happened. A blast flowed out of the cupboard,
Speaker 1: the most paranormal stuff I've ever seen, and I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot doing this for decades all over the world.
Speaker 1: But the cool part of this story is, and why
Speaker 1: it turned into a good story, is the cat man.
Speaker 1: Three weeks later, he showed me his back. He goes
Speaker 1: Patty looking my back and where the scarring had been
Speaker 1: from the blistering, it totally looked like he had got
Speaker 1: a tattoo of a dragon. Oh wow, that's how it healed,
Speaker 1: and healed into a tattoo of a dragon, into a yeah,
Speaker 1: open mouth, a sharp piece, winged head, into the shape
Speaker 1: of a serpent. And I'm was that permanent for him? Well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well like but no, that is the exact energy I
Speaker 1: called in the shut down, the sance. I worked dragon magic.
Speaker 1: It's crossroads energy. I mean, dragons have been around forever
Speaker 1: Chinese mythology, you know, every every Chinese magic mythology, everything.
Speaker 1: It's an energy. Why do you believe stroads? It's powerful?
Speaker 1: And I'm going, oh my god, you have a tramp
Speaker 1: stamp of a dragon on your back. That is the
Speaker 1: coolest thing I've ever seen. And he thought so too.
Speaker 1: So the good done it yet is he was so
Speaker 1: inspired he actually wrote a film about it, about this
Speaker 1: TV psychic myself who does like every television show myself
Speaker 1: and then you know, shooting another reality show and then
Speaker 1: a portal opens, and if they ever do it, it's
Speaker 1: one of those kind of funny and scary that I like.
Speaker 1: But I literally they wrote it actually with Stephen Norrington,
Speaker 1: the guy who wrote League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and The Blade.
Speaker 1: Cherry's so real, left of center Hollywood. But I did
Speaker 1: sit down with him this is another subject for like
Speaker 1: five hours. I'm like, Laurence, you can't say that. You
Speaker 1: can't say that in the script, you can't stay that
Speaker 1: on camera. He's like, Patty, but you said it. I go,
Speaker 1: I know, I said it. That opens a portal, that
Speaker 1: opens a gate. You don't want to be one of
Speaker 1: those first horror films. Do you what happens all the time?
Speaker 1: A spirit and energy or whatever doesn't know the difference
Speaker 1: of an actor, you know, method acting off a line
Speaker 1: and somebody really doing it. You know, you don't want
Speaker 1: to be the one where all the actors I at
Speaker 1: twenty seven, so if they ever do do it. We
Speaker 1: changed anything that really would cause something to happen on
Speaker 1: screen to something that wouldn't but just sound just as scary. Well,
Speaker 1: in that case with the fire in the cameraman, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what did he do wrong to get abused like that?
Speaker 1: I don't I think if we look into like just
Speaker 1: divine whatever, he didn't do anything wrong. It was it
Speaker 1: was they were probably shooting at the kid but hit him.
Speaker 1: The energy was probably going from behind the cameraman towards
Speaker 1: the kid, but stuped at the cameraman. But then if
Speaker 1: there's a bigger meaning behind it, the cameraman is the
Speaker 1: one who was going to it changed his whole thought
Speaker 1: pattern about spirits write a script which now will or
Speaker 1: won't ever get done. Um changed his whole life in
Speaker 1: really positive ways. Have you ever been heard Patty in
Speaker 1: any of these things? Yeah? Just once, Um, it happened
Speaker 1: to me. I was at my own home, which is
Speaker 1: really warded because again, I am a witch, I am
Speaker 1: a medium, studied this my entire life. Were you going
Speaker 1: to get into your witchcraft in a second too? Going
Speaker 1: to go ahead? So so so it's really worded. But
Speaker 1: my old podcast, before My Witching Hour, I had one
Speaker 1: called the Magic Hour and it was kind of seance
Speaker 1: meet true crime. And my producer at the time, we
Speaker 1: were going to do a thing about the Black Value murder.
Speaker 1: So I had Linda Deuts coming over. She's a famous
Speaker 1: AP Associated Press reporter who got famous from Charles Manson
Speaker 1: and right, okay, says Linda Deutsch, who's a dear friend
Speaker 1: of mine. So she was coming over, yeah with the
Speaker 1: best and a big believer in the paranormal and supernatural
Speaker 1: and magic and she's one of my dearest friends. So anyway,
Speaker 1: he hadn't got there yet and the people were but
Speaker 1: my then producer wanted to again using the weavy board,
Speaker 1: but again I've used them safely since I was seven.
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep saying that. But I didn't do
Speaker 1: my setup my protection because no one was there, and
Speaker 1: she had this one friend we talked to literally like
Speaker 1: texting always came in, but I hadn't set it up,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't her friend who came in it literally
Speaker 1: and I know it was doctor George Hodel, the black
Speaker 1: Dallie accused, but I know it was him. Murder. He
Speaker 1: pushed me into my dining room chair. I have these
Speaker 1: like three hundred year old antique chair so hard I
Speaker 1: was standing behind it into my ribs. I heard this crack, crack, crack,
Speaker 1: and I'm sliding down to the floor and she's like, going,
Speaker 1: are you okay. I'm like, uh no, And I always
Speaker 1: say I'm okay. I could have like a limp cut
Speaker 1: off right now and I'd be like, I'm fine, it's
Speaker 1: a flesh room. Nothing. You don't complain about anything, do you.
Speaker 1: I don't, And I'm like, it really hurts. I had
Speaker 1: to go to urgent care. And it didn't break ribs,
Speaker 1: which I thought, but it had even more painful in
Speaker 1: a sense it had ripped all the cartilage off my
Speaker 1: floating ribs and ribs hit by a spirit that hard
Speaker 1: because he's a doctor and news what he's doing. That
Speaker 1: was incredible story too, wasn't it. Yeah? Yeah? And again yeah,
Speaker 1: so much so that this the producer beautiful woman. I've
Speaker 1: worked with, award winning woman, I've worked within different things
Speaker 1: for ten years. She quit the next day. She couldn't
Speaker 1: handle it, could she? She couldn't handle it? Somebody who
Speaker 1: It's so funny, and you see this all of the time,
Speaker 1: people who want so bad and want to see a
Speaker 1: spirit or want to see a ghost, or want to
Speaker 1: see an alien, and and then when they do, it's
Speaker 1: my blame since you've been doing that. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: have has anybody around you other than the cameraman been hurt? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm so careful. I'm just wondering if you're you're the
Speaker 1: magnet here. Well, no, it's because, um, but where we go,
Speaker 1: just like if I'm doing a seance or raising the
Speaker 1: veil around my dining room table, or even at a
Speaker 1: pair of Connors, and it's we're gonna talk to grandma,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk to kid who died in school,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk to you all your loved ones,
Speaker 1: you know. For we were doing the Black Dahlia and
Speaker 1: at this house in Hollywood, this kid just got really
Speaker 1: rude and disrespectful, you know, on Ghost Adventures or with
Speaker 1: my all my YouTube guys, without my overnight guys. You
Speaker 1: go to the you go to the prison, you go
Speaker 1: to the Asana asylum. Those are gonna be much meaner
