Speaker 1: Yes, ready to be amazed by the wizard of Weird
Speaker 1: Strange Thing with Joshua Warna. I am josh with b Warren,
Speaker 1: and each week on this show, I'll be bringing you
Speaker 1: brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird experiments
Speaker 1: you can do at home, and a lot more on
Speaker 1: this edition of the show. Yesterday I investigated this house
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, you bet, I'm talking about a haunted
Speaker 1: house right here in Las Vegas, Nevada. But not just
Speaker 1: any old haunted house. It's one of those stories. Where
Speaker 1: shall I begin? M M Well, I have lived here
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas for about six and a half years
Speaker 1: or so, and I've done a lot of work with
Speaker 1: the local media, and back in twenty eighteen, I met
Speaker 1: a man named Guy Finalese, who at that time was
Speaker 1: working as a cameraman and well just a general videographer
Speaker 1: and photographer all that stuff, putting stories together for the
Speaker 1: local Fox TV affiliate, Fox five. And I presume this
Speaker 1: was around Halloween. I don't remember for certain, but it
Speaker 1: would make sense because you know, the media always contacts
Speaker 1: me around Halloween because they want some spooky story and
Speaker 1: so and I nowadays I don't have much time to
Speaker 1: get out and do that kind of thing in person,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm good at hooking people up, referring
Speaker 1: them and all that. Anyway, So in twenty eighteen, Guy
Speaker 1: and I got together. I forget exactly how it happened,
Speaker 1: and we met up at this haunted park in Henderson, Nevada,
Speaker 1: which is right outside of Vegas, the Fox Ridge Park where,
Speaker 1: sure enough, years ago, this little boy died a car
Speaker 1: accident and I don't remember all the details of that story,
Speaker 1: but he came out to this playground, this right next
Speaker 1: to the school where this incident happened, and I did
Speaker 1: a little ghost hunt. It was just myself and Lauren
Speaker 1: helping me out and Guy filming the thing, and he
Speaker 1: just did a phenomenal job putting that story together for
Speaker 1: the news and we kind of hit it off. After that,
Speaker 1: he came out to a show that I used to produce.
Speaker 1: I'll get back to that in a minute. But the
Speaker 1: following year we decided to do another story again. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it was around Halloween, and so that time we
Speaker 1: went to this haunted oddity shop and filmed quite a
Speaker 1: bit of interesting footage there. And one of the people
Speaker 1: who I met at the oddity shop an artist who
Speaker 1: had some of her work on display. There was a
Speaker 1: woman named Irene B Smithy. Irene B Smithy, she has
Speaker 1: been on numerous TV shows like Pond Stars, and she
Speaker 1: makes art with skulls human flesh. We'll get back to
Speaker 1: her later, all right. So Guy filmed this segment with
Speaker 1: Nick Weird and myself, and of course Nick hosts the
Speaker 1: Haunted Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour right here outside
Speaker 1: of Nevada that I created and owned that. So anyway,
Speaker 1: Nick and I did this investigation and he Guy put
Speaker 1: this piece together and the piece came out and was
Speaker 1: so fantastic. It looked so cinematic. It won an Emmy, seriously,
Speaker 1: and I Guy and the reporter contacted me after they
Speaker 1: came out of the Emmys and they were like, look
Speaker 1: what we got, and they had they had the statue,
Speaker 1: and I go, well, I was kind of the star
Speaker 1: of an Emmy Award winning segment. There's a picture of
Speaker 1: me somewhere. It might be at joshuap Warren dot com
Speaker 1: holding the Emmy. Well. Anyway, so he and I we've
Speaker 1: kept in touch and we have a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we meet up socially. Sometimes we shoot segments. Suite
Speaker 1: did something at the Pioneer Saloon. You may remember me
Speaker 1: talking about that. And Guy contacted me recently and he said, hey,
Speaker 1: let's do a new segment for Halloween, because I'm recording
Speaker 1: this right now in the fall of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: And you know, the thing is, I have done a
Speaker 1: lot of TV in my life over the years. In fact,
Speaker 1: going you know, if you go to my website Joshua
Speaker 1: Pewarren dot com and you just click the link, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there it is on the homepage. You see me with
Speaker 1: the Emmy that we got. There's a heading do's TV
Speaker 1: and film work? And if you click that. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just has me doing TV going all the way
Speaker 1: back to nineteen ninety six, and I mean all kinds
Speaker 1: of shows, ghost Adventures in search of I even did
Speaker 1: a show that William Shatner hosted, you know, I was
Speaker 1: a cast member on the Travel Channel for a show.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've just done a lot of TV, and
Speaker 1: I really just I honestly, I just kind of feel
Speaker 1: like that I've done enough. I'm middle aged now, and
Speaker 1: if you're in any field of art or research, you
Speaker 1: kind of spend the first part of your life learning
Speaker 1: as much as you can while you have the energy,
Speaker 1: and then the last part of your life sharing what
Speaker 1: you learned and trying to help improve life for everyone.
Speaker 1: And then of course just kind of being selfish and
Speaker 1: doing whatever little personal experiments and things that bring you
Speaker 1: you fun. And also, one thing that's always been very
Speaker 1: frustrating for me is that when it comes to commercial
Speaker 1: television stuff, paranormal investigation is generally incompatible with how TV
Speaker 1: shows are put together. I mean, if you go into
Speaker 1: an environment that's paranormally active, you're trying to measure subtle
Speaker 1: things with very sensitive equipment. But when you create a
Speaker 1: TV show, you completely alter the environment. You bring all
Speaker 1: these new people into this place. People are going in
Speaker 1: and out. They bring all this equipment in. It's producing
Speaker 1: electromagnetic fields, electrostatic fields. They're turning on lights, which is
Speaker 1: creating abnormal temperature differences. I mean, you're contaminating the scene
Speaker 1: by shooting a TV show there, and you know it
Speaker 1: may be that there are I mean, the only show
Speaker 1: I can think of right now that might be kind
Speaker 1: of a cool exception to that approach is that show
Speaker 1: Paranormal Caught on Camera that I was on earlier this year,
Speaker 1: because they just take footage that people have captured themselves
Speaker 1: and then they feature it, so they're not actually coming
Speaker 1: into your home. And so anyway, look, there are just issues.
Speaker 1: That's been a struggle my whole life to try to
Speaker 1: conduct paranormal investigation in front of a camera. And I've
Speaker 1: always made it very clear there's real paranormal investigation and
Speaker 1: then there's paranormal entertainment. And when you're doing a TV show,
Speaker 1: it's entertainment. There's a schedule, I mean, a lot is
Speaker 1: planned out, so you have to be a real expert
Speaker 1: to go into a TV setting and pull off some
Speaker 1: type of a credible investigation. But you see, here's where
Speaker 1: guy threw me a curveball, because he said, this is
Speaker 1: not just going to be an ordinary investigation for the
Speaker 1: local news or some TV segment. He said, this will
Speaker 1: be an official investigation for the city of Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: And that is because that guy no longer works for
Speaker 1: the Fox TV channel. He now works for the City
Speaker 1: of Las Vegas. He was so good at what he did,
Speaker 1: he got this job as as one of the big
Speaker 1: digital content creators for the city because you know, cities
Speaker 1: now they have to have somebody who goes out and
Speaker 1: films a lot of stuff for them, whether it's cultural
Speaker 1: or historic or official business, and you know, operates a
Speaker 1: website and all that. And he is super tech savvy.
Speaker 1: So he said, no, this will be an official investigation
Speaker 1: for the City of Las Vegas. And we thought it
Speaker 1: would be interesting to feature a place in Vegas that's
Speaker 1: haunted for this Halloween season. And you know, okay, I will,
Speaker 1: I'll do that. That just sounds cool, you know, because
Speaker 1: I have been hired over the years by cities to
Speaker 1: do things. The city of Morganton hired me one time
Speaker 1: to create a tour for them and to write a
Speaker 1: booklet for them about the Brown Mountain lights. And then
Speaker 1: let's see then. Of course, Asheville, where I'm from, they
Speaker 1: put me on a committee one time to help to
Speaker 1: save Helen's Bridge, a haunted bridge there. But anyway, I
Speaker 1: had never done anything officially for the city of Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: and you know, such a famous city. I said, well,
Speaker 1: I can't turn that down. So we started brainstorming, tossing
Speaker 1: around possible ideas, and it was like, maybe we go
Speaker 1: to this historic district or district, or maybe we go
Speaker 1: to this hotel or whatever. And then serendipitously, in the
Speaker 1: midst of all this, remember Irene B. Smithy, She's the
Speaker 1: artist that I told you that I met at the
Speaker 1: Oddity Shop years ago. Well, she she contacted me because
Speaker 1: I had been in touch with her over the years
Speaker 1: somewhat because I used to produce this show called the
Speaker 1: Vegas Well we called it originally the Creepy Vegas Show,
Speaker 1: and then later it became The Vegas Ghosts and UFO Show,
Speaker 1: and sometimes she would come to the show and present
Speaker 1: some of her art, so we kind of kept in touch.
Speaker 1: When we come back from this break, I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you what she revealed when she contacted me, oh,
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, right in the middle of
Speaker 1: us trying to figure out where to go and film
Speaker 1: what she told me was happening at her house. And
Speaker 1: I told you she has she has human body parts
Speaker 1: all over the place. You know what, This is a
Speaker 1: free show and if you like it and you want
Speaker 1: me to keep doing it, well support the show. Please

Speaker 1: You're listening to strange things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast am Paranormal podcast Network, and I will be
Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1: and Coast to Coast a m paranormal podcast Network. I
Speaker 1: am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren,
Speaker 1: beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio and Sin City,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every
Speaker 1: night is silver Ijietato Zoome. And right after I moved
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas, of course, I created a Haunted Downtown
Speaker 1: Las Vegas walking tour and I quickly discovered that it
Speaker 1: just wasn't going to work out well enough for my
Speaker 1: standards because it's just too loud and chaotic in downtown
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. And so the next step was, well, why
Speaker 1: don't we why don't we turn this into a show,
Speaker 1: and so we would have a controlled setting. It's an
Speaker 1: indoor environment. So we teamed up with a place called
Speaker 1: Millennium Fandom, which was our first venue and a just
Speaker 1: excellent pop culture bar. You should check it out if
Speaker 1: you're ever in Las Vegas. And it was called at
Speaker 1: first off the Creepy Vegas Show. And then but I
Speaker 1: think that name actually creeps some people too much, so
Speaker 1: I changed later to the Vegas Ghost and UFO Show.
Speaker 1: Nick Weird was the host, and you know, we had
Speaker 1: all kinds of haunted and cursed and charmed objects that
Speaker 1: you could touch, and you got to watch all this
Speaker 1: film footage that has never been on TV and just
Speaker 1: see a lot of really cool stuff during this like
Speaker 1: one hour show. And it was going great. We were expanding.
Speaker 1: We actually started doing it in addition to that bar,
Speaker 1: doing it at a casino on the strip. Everything was
Speaker 1: going great, and then the pandemic hit and boom, everything
Speaker 1: shut down, including Las Vegas, and so we said, well,
Speaker 1: now what are we gonna do? So I said, well,
Speaker 1: let's go back to the outdoor tour thing, but how
Speaker 1: about Boulder City? And so I started developing, I wrote
Speaker 1: and created, and I put this whole tour together, the
Speaker 1: Haunted Boulder City, Ghosts and UFO Tour, which is doing
Speaker 1: great to this day, and everybody could go do it
Speaker 1: because it was an outdoor activity and hold Boulder City
Speaker 1: history there is amazing. And so now we only occasionally
Speaker 1: do the Vegas Ghost and UFO Show because we have
Speaker 1: all of our efforts on the tour. So if you
Speaker 1: come into Vegas and you have like a special group
Speaker 1: or a special occasion and you'd be interested in maybe
Speaker 1: arranging a show, well contact me through my website and
Speaker 1: maybe I'll produce one for you. But I don't see
Speaker 1: us doing that on a regular basis anymore because I
Speaker 1: just don't have the time. The tour is just going
Speaker 1: so well. We have thousands of people who take it
Speaker 1: every year. I tell you all that because when the
Speaker 1: show was going on, as I mentioned, this artist, Irene
Speaker 1: the Smithy, she would come and set up some of
Speaker 1: her art, which consisted of human skulls that she had
Speaker 1: intricately carved and jewelry she made out of human flesh.
Speaker 1: And during that time something changed her life. She met
Speaker 1: a man who came to the show named Chuck, and well,
Speaker 1: they hit it off and then they got married. And
Speaker 1: then I think it was only maybe a little over
Speaker 1: a year ago, I'm not sure about that, but so
Speaker 1: she married. She married this man who came to the
Speaker 1: show and moved into his house and guess what, it's
Speaker 1: a haunted house. Irene contacted me and she told me that, well, okay,
Speaker 1: for one thing, this house was built in nineteen fifty nine.
Speaker 1: Very nice piece of property. I don't want to say,
Speaker 1: of course, where it is. But there was a man
Speaker 1: there named who lived there, named Johnny, and he was
Speaker 1: a military veteran and long story short, you know, he
Speaker 1: he got old enough, I mean, is well, he lost
Speaker 1: his wife, he lost his daughter. He suddenly his health
Speaker 1: went down the toilet and he said, oh well, I'm
Speaker 1: not going out this way. So he went into his
Speaker 1: bedroom and he killed himself with a shotgun. And Irene
Speaker 1: said that furthermore, to make this whole situation a bit
Speaker 1: more interesting, he was on the FBI watch list for
Speaker 1: a possible involvement with the mob. And he was also
Speaker 1: a collector of antiquities that he would find out in
Speaker 1: the desert to various artifacts and things that probably should
Speaker 1: have been left undisturbed, but he would bring some of
Speaker 1: those things back to the property. So there was a
Speaker 1: lot going on there. So it's no wonder that the
Speaker 1: house is haunted. This is all documented, This is all true.
Speaker 1: And of course when I say haunted, well now there's
Speaker 1: you name it. There are shadowy forms that move around.
Speaker 1: They the people who live there, Irene and Chuck and
Speaker 1: their daughter getting touched and shoved. There's a grandfather clock
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, and yet it will chime sometimes when
Speaker 1: weird things happen in the house, as well as a
Speaker 1: cuckoo clock that does the same thing. So Irene's telling
Speaker 1: me all this stuff. So I said, you know, guy,
Speaker 1: this is a rare opportunity to be able to go
Speaker 1: into a private household, because Irene said, yep, you know,
Speaker 1: you guys are welcome to come and do an investigation
Speaker 1: here in film it. I said, look, you know, this
Speaker 1: is a private household in Las Vegas. And you know
Speaker 1: a lot of times if you shoot like a business
Speaker 1: or a public place, then people think you're just looking
Speaker 1: for publicity. You're sort of exploiting a ghost story. I
Speaker 1: get that, but it's different when you go to public,
Speaker 1: excuse me, a private house. So I pitched this to
Speaker 1: Guy and his host Meredith, and they liked the idea,
Speaker 1: so they pitched it to their boss and they got
Speaker 1: the green light. So I go, all right, well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna do this. So I contacted Nick Weird and my
Speaker 1: friend Jason Sarachi, the UFO videographer, to assist me. But
Speaker 1: then things got even weirder than I was expecting. First, off.
Speaker 1: As we got closer to the date, I asked Guy
Speaker 1: what time he wanted to meet up for us to
Speaker 1: shoot this, and he said eight thirty am, and I
Speaker 1: thought he was making a mistake. I said, you mean PM.
Speaker 1: He goes, no, I know that's an odd time, but
Speaker 1: we know we're on the city schedule here. We have
Speaker 1: to do this ghost hunt at eight thirty am. And
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever done a ghost hunt at
Speaker 1: eight thirty am, unless it's the end of a ghost
Speaker 1: hunt after I've been up all night. So to start
Speaker 1: a ghost hunt at eight thirty am in the morning,
Speaker 1: that's going to throw me off because I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not usually a morning guy like that. As you can imagine,
Speaker 1: I don't have much of a schedule. But I said,
Speaker 1: all right, fine, if that's the way it has to be,
Speaker 1: then you know, we'll do it. And Irene was fine
Speaker 1: with Everybody was fine with it. So then, uh, maybe
Speaker 1: like a day before we're actually going to get together,
Speaker 1: and of course I'm going over all my equipment and
Speaker 1: making sure everything's all calibrated and all the batteries are fresh.
Speaker 1: Irene contacts me as if this situation is not going
Speaker 1: to be strange enough, and she says, by the way,
Speaker 1: I have a pet tarantula. And she got out of
Speaker 1: her her case or her you know, or whatever they
Speaker 1: keep her in. I don't know what do you keep
Speaker 1: a tarantula in, like tarantula tarium or something. She got
Speaker 1: out of her box and we just decided to let
Speaker 1: her have free, free run of the head house, free rain.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see whose spots are first.
Speaker 1: That'll be a bonus. And I go, oh boy, because
Speaker 1: you know what, all right, Look, I love all animals,
Speaker 1: I really do. And if you tell me that you're
Speaker 1: gonna take your tarantula out and you want me to
Speaker 1: pet it, I might just do that. I might just
Speaker 1: do it. But if I'm just like sitting there checking
Speaker 1: my text messages and all of a sudden the tarantula
Speaker 1: is on my arm, I don't know what I'm gonna do,
Speaker 1: all right, And I'm just being honest with you because
Speaker 1: I that's some kind of an instinct is gonna kick in.
Speaker 1: And I because I'm getting goosebumps, right, are you? Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm a rachnophobic, all right. That I can thank my
Speaker 1: mom for that. I think she's very a rachnophobic. I
Speaker 1: think she in there's something about that mom is going
Speaker 1: to put all her fears into you. Isn't that one
Speaker 1: of the Pink Floyd lyrics? So anyway, yeah, I would
Speaker 1: not go out and have my own past spider. So
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, all right, this is gonna be interesting, and
Speaker 1: and hopefully the tarantula does it crawl into my gear bag.
Speaker 1: I don't even want, you know, I don't even I
Speaker 1: don't want to look in my gear bag. This was
Speaker 1: just yesterday, you know, So you see how things are going. Well, look,
Speaker 1: let's just cut to the chase. So the morning arrives
Speaker 1: right and early. I am definitely not at one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: So Lauren and I get there. We meet Nick Weird,
Speaker 1: we meet Jason Saracci. They've got some of their own gear.
Speaker 1: They're ready to go. And here's the thing about Irene.
Speaker 1: She's the most warm, sweet, friendly, soft spoken, mild mannered,
Speaker 1: polite lady you'll ever meet. And she has this necklace,
Speaker 1: choker of human flesh around her neck. Okay, and she
Speaker 1: has in a frame on the wall a woman's face,
Speaker 1: a dead woman's face. Now I'm talking about like, you know,
Speaker 1: something that like the ed Geen or the Texas Chainsaw Masker.
Speaker 1: What have you if you just peeled somebody's face off
Speaker 1: and you put it in a frame. She has that
Speaker 1: hanging on the wall. She admits to being a cannibal. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got to take a break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I'm setting the stage for this ghost hunt for you,
Speaker 1: all right. I told you this is not a typical
Speaker 1: haunted house investigation, and you can see I was not exaggerating.
Speaker 1: So what do you think is gonna happen? Do you
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see something? Think something interesting is going
Speaker 1: to occur here? I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to
Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast
Speaker 1: AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be back after
Speaker 1: these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podc Guest Network.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Joshua pe Warren. M. This is the
Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. Irene is creating a
Speaker 1: doll out of human remains? Are you into dolls? I
Speaker 1: told you she admits to cannibalism. She'll even offer you
Speaker 1: some human flesh to eat if you want to eat it,
Speaker 1: and I watched one of my friends do it as
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. Trust me, I could go on
Speaker 1: and on, and I want you to understand something. You
Speaker 1: might be sitting there listening to this saying, wow, when
Speaker 1: Irene hears this, she's going to be really mad that
Speaker 1: Joshua is talking about all this stuff. But see, this
Speaker 1: is also what's really weird. She's not. It's going to
Speaker 1: be the opposite of that. She laughs. She loves this stuff.
Speaker 1: She thinks it's wonderful that she's eccentric, you know, and
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you she is. She will not
Speaker 1: be the least bit offended that I'm telling you all
Speaker 1: this stuff she I mean, she's the one out there
Speaker 1: presenting it on TV. And that's one of the reasons
Speaker 1: also that I wanted to kind of tell you my
Speaker 1: version of the story here, because trust me, most of
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff is not going to be in
Speaker 1: the final cut of the whatever segment or video that
Speaker 1: guy puts together for the City of Las Vegas because
Speaker 1: it's just it's just too controversial. I think it's a
Speaker 1: little too extreme for a government project. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: great that he has all this stuff, all this footage.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what kind of version is going
Speaker 1: to come out, but it's not going to have these
Speaker 1: types of details. But I think you should know all
Speaker 1: this because I want you to understand the layers of
Speaker 1: activity that we're talking about here. We're talking about Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: which is already a haunted place, and this is in
Speaker 1: an area where a lot of mob activity did take
Speaker 1: place back in the day. We're talking about knowing for
Speaker 1: a fact that a man committed suicide in there. I
Speaker 1: don't know if his wife and daughter also died in
Speaker 1: the house, but you know, he was bringing objects into
Speaker 1: the house that had all kinds of unknown but perhaps
Speaker 1: significant energies. And then Irene gets in there, and she's
Speaker 1: one of the most fascinating people I've ever met my
Speaker 1: entire life. You know, she's totally unique. I've never met
Speaker 1: anybody really like her. She brings all this stuff into
Speaker 1: the house. We're talking about layer upon layer of complexity.
Speaker 1: So anyway, as we're about to begin the investigation, the
Speaker 1: first thing you have to do is get the story.
Speaker 1: So she's taking us around and showing off all of
Speaker 1: these things. And then and this is very fortunate for credibility.
Speaker 1: Her neighbors came over and they were the ones who
Speaker 1: found Johnny's dead body in two thousand and eight, and
Speaker 1: they were happy to talk about that experience, and in fact,
Speaker 1: well they I think what they said was that they
Speaker 1: saw the like his garage door wasn't closed properly, and
Speaker 1: you know, the newspaper wasn't picked up. I mean, he
Speaker 1: was in a routine and when they went into check
Speaker 1: on him, that's when they found this horrifying scene. But
Speaker 1: they also pointed out that the room where Irene's daughter
Speaker 1: currently stays, Irene's teenage daughter is the same room that
Speaker 1: Johnny's daughter was in. And one of the ghostly things
Speaker 1: that happens these days is that if Irene's daughter is
Speaker 1: in her room getting dressed, and for whatever reason, the
Speaker 1: door isn't closed, the door will slam shut. And that's interesting,
Speaker 1: isn't it if you think about the idea that Johnny
Speaker 1: had a daughter in there and he was maybe shielding
Speaker 1: Irene's daughter like he would shield his own. I broke
Speaker 1: out the trifild meters and I walked around this house
Speaker 1: for the investigation, and I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 1: want to spoil some of the stuff that you're going
Speaker 1: to see in the video. But let me just tell
Speaker 1: you the trifilm meters, which pick up the same type
Speaker 1: of electromagnetic and electrostatic energy around a human body. They
Speaker 1: were bumping at certain places even though nobody was around them.
Speaker 1: We were talking to Johnny, the temperature would drop. Jason
Speaker 1: Sarachi had a thermal camera and we would start talking
Speaker 1: to Johnny and the camera would start flashing and doing
Speaker 1: completely weird things. And one thing that really, you know,
Speaker 1: it surprised me a lot. I have this little device
Speaker 1: and gosh, I can't remember it's it's similar to what
Speaker 1: you think of as like a spirit box. I can't
Speaker 1: remember exactly what it's called. And I've always been very
Speaker 1: wishy washy about this type of technology. Basically, it's like
Speaker 1: a scanner. So it just sits there and it scans
Speaker 1: through a bunch of frequencies on whatever band you want,
Speaker 1: AM or FM, and you just get a little a
Speaker 1: blip of sound, maybe a word or a syllable if
Speaker 1: it comes across something. And the people who create these
Speaker 1: create them based upon the theory that, well, a ghost
Speaker 1: might want to talk to you, a spirit might want
Speaker 1: to talk to you. But a spirit doesn't have a
Speaker 1: voice box, right, doesn't have a larynux, doesn't have the
Speaker 1: ability to create words for you in the same way,
Speaker 1: might be able to telepathically communicate with one person, but
Speaker 1: not to come right out and say something in a
Speaker 1: way that a recorder might pick up. But they might
Speaker 1: be able to influence the electromagnetic fields around a device,
Speaker 1: and by doing so, and maybe with a little sprinkling
Speaker 1: of synchronicity, might be able to force certain words to
Speaker 1: be transmitted right at a particular moment in order to
Speaker 1: answer a question. And there's a lot of you know how,
Speaker 1: like in Paradoia, you can look at a cloud, you
Speaker 1: could say, well, this looks like a rabbit or a
Speaker 1: dragon or a unicorn, or or you look at the
Speaker 1: moon you say, oh, it looks like there's a man
Speaker 1: in the moon. That's that's Paradoia. Well there's a you know,
Speaker 1: there's a It's a similar phenomenon with with auditory stuff.
Speaker 1: My problem with EVP often is that if you listen
Speaker 1: to EVP and I tell you in advance what I
Speaker 1: think it's going to say, that it's more likely you're
Speaker 1: gonna hear hear what I think I think it is,
Speaker 1: rather than you picking it out on your own. So
Speaker 1: that said, this is one of the reasons I very
Speaker 1: skeptical and very reserved in my judgment about these types
Speaker 1: of devices. However, having said that, we were sitting there,
Speaker 1: and again I don't want to spoil anything, because I'll
Speaker 1: tell you when the video is out, you can watch
Speaker 1: it for yourself. We're sitting there and a question was asked,
Speaker 1: and for that, I'm telling you, for that one second blip,
Speaker 1: a very clear, distinct voice said okay, like there was
Speaker 1: no wish you like there's there was no wiggle room
Speaker 1: on that. We all looked at each other like that
Speaker 1: was obviously sounded like a man saying okay. Now. If
Speaker 1: that had happened once, you might say, all right, fine,
Speaker 1: total coincidence. Glad that worked out for the camera. That's
Speaker 1: gonna look good on TV. Nice spooky Halloween segment. But
Speaker 1: then we were in another part of the house. We
Speaker 1: sat down for another session, and we asked a question
Speaker 1: or we said something, and once again, immediately the same
Speaker 1: exact male voice said okay, Now that I have never
Speaker 1: experienced before in my thirty plus years of doing paranormal investigation. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't use these types of devices a lot, these
Speaker 1: spirit box type things. And again I apologize for not
Speaker 1: telling you exactly the one that I have, because it's
Speaker 1: not in front of me right now. You know, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. I'll get it during the next break,
Speaker 1: and i'll tell you what it is. But that was
Speaker 1: like I was struck by that, and I still am.
Speaker 1: And the video there's obviously this just happened ye today.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of stuff to analyze. I have
Speaker 1: a lot to go over, and this podcast is recorded
Speaker 1: oftentimes weeks before it is posted, and I don't know
Speaker 1: when the video is going to come out, so the
Speaker 1: video may or may not be out by the time
Speaker 1: you see this. I will probably post the video, of
Speaker 1: course on my social media or certainly notify people who
Speaker 1: subscribe to my free e newsletter, unless that is I
Speaker 1: come across as too old, fat and drunk. But hopefully you,
Speaker 1: you know, you'll get to see some of this stuff
Speaker 1: for yourself, because I'm if anybody could capture it properly,
Speaker 1: it would be Guy. So that's all I'm going to
Speaker 1: tell you because I don't I don't want to spoil it.
Speaker 1: By the way, Irene has something else very special coming
Speaker 1: up soon, and I will most likely have a new
Speaker 1: report for you on that in the near future as well.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I guess you know what. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you one more thing here is what happened at my
Speaker 1: house after we got back from the investigation. Something happened
Speaker 1: last night. Now, granted, I have a variety of things
Speaker 1: in my house that are haunted, and when you bring
Speaker 1: them in then sometimes, you know, you get some activity
Speaker 1: for a while, then it tends to calm down. And
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't bring negative things into the house.
Speaker 1: Of course, I have Kennedy the haunted doll here. But well,
Speaker 1: I didn't bring anything back from Irene's house. And yet
Speaker 1: last night, you know, with the investigation was over by
Speaker 1: sometime in the afternoon, we all partied ways or what
Speaker 1: he had a good time that evening. Last night, something
Speaker 1: happened my house, and Lauren told me that this had
Speaker 1: never happened before. When we come back from the break,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you what that is. Tell you
Speaker 1: what happened at my house. And I have a story
Speaker 1: for you that I've been meaning to get to, and
Speaker 1: it's about a celebrity who had a paranormal experience, a
Speaker 1: very personal paranormal experience. This just came out in the
Speaker 1: news recently. I'm Joshua P. One. You're listening to Strange
Speaker 1: Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Speaker 1: Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the final segment of this edition of Strange Things
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and I want
Speaker 1: to make sure since this is the last segment, I
Speaker 1: want to just sincerely think Irene and Chuck and Guy
Speaker 1: and Meredith for working with me putting all this together.
Speaker 1: It's so much fun. It's just so interesting. And of
Speaker 1: course Jason and Nick did a great job assisting me. Lauren,
Speaker 1: as always is a wonderful chauffeur who can to anything
Speaker 1: I need. Oh okay, I did. Look. Guess what, folks,
Speaker 1: It actually is a spirit box. I have it in
Speaker 1: my hands, the one that I was using. It's called
Speaker 1: a P S B seven, so P as I Peter
Speaker 1: s and then B as in boys seven. It's actually
Speaker 1: going to a hyphen in there p hyphen SB seven
Speaker 1: spirit box looks like it's a registered trademarks is itc
Speaker 1: research device? And so yeah, when you turn it on,
Speaker 1: you can choose different frequencies and if you wanted to
Speaker 1: sweep forward or reverse and the rate. So I'll turn
Speaker 1: it on for a second and you can probably hear
Speaker 1: kind of what it sounds like. So like, for example,
Speaker 1: right now, I'm going to ask, is is there a
Speaker 1: spirit near me right now here? Let me be more specific, Johnny,
Speaker 1: are you with me right now in my house? Uh?
Speaker 1: Let me ask this question. You know, my good, my
Speaker 1: good friend Tim Peterson recently passed away, Tim Peterson, old buddy,
Speaker 1: are you with me? All right? So you get the
Speaker 1: picture of how this thing works, and you can see
Speaker 1: why I was so shocked when it very clearly said
Speaker 1: okay in a man's voice in response to some specific questions.
Speaker 1: So that's something that's worth playing with, honestly. Why not?
Speaker 1: So that night last night, after the investigation, here's the
Speaker 1: weird thing that has happened so far at my house.
Speaker 1: We have this little Chihuahua named Dolly, and and Lauren
Speaker 1: is with Dolly almost twenty four to seven, so she
Speaker 1: knows everything about this dog's behavior. And last night as
Speaker 1: Lauren was getting ready for bed, I was in a
Speaker 1: whole different part of the property, so it's just her
Speaker 1: and Dolly. So there's a bathroom of course, next to
Speaker 1: the bedroom. Lauren was getting ready in the bathroom and
Speaker 1: she turns around and she realizes that Dolly is doing
Speaker 1: something that she'd never seen Dolly do before. Dolly is
Speaker 1: standing at the top of our stairs looking at the
Speaker 1: stairs in that hunched alert stance that dogs get into
Speaker 1: when they see something they're not expecting to see, like
Speaker 1: a person. And she's not barking or anything. She's just
Speaker 1: sort of frozen in this stance with her eyes locked
Speaker 1: right there at the top of the stairs, which is
Speaker 1: also a place where we have a lot of security
Speaker 1: sensors and things which alert us if there's something spiritual
Speaker 1: going on. So Lauren sees Dolly in this stance like
Speaker 1: she's looking at an invisible person, and Lauren gets freaked
Speaker 1: out for a moment because she thinks, what if there's
Speaker 1: somebody there? And then Dolly slowly backed up, and then
Speaker 1: she turned and ran straight into the bedroom. Now she
Speaker 1: has a little doggy bed that she loves to sleep
Speaker 1: in on the floor. She said, screw that, she ran
Speaker 1: into the bedroom and leaped up onto the bed as
Speaker 1: if she were going to I don't know if she
Speaker 1: was running for her life or she was going to
Speaker 1: protect Lauren. But you know, fortunately we have a very
Speaker 1: good security system and so you know, Lauren was able
Speaker 1: to you know, confirm that the property was secure. But
Speaker 1: she said she'd never seen we' of course had Dolly
Speaker 1: for years. We used to have a dog called Lolli,
Speaker 1: but this one's Dolly. She's part of the old Dolly
Speaker 1: Lama team. But you know, Lama is no longer with us,
Speaker 1: but we have a lot of spirits running around this house.
Speaker 1: But that was just very odd that right when we
Speaker 1: came back from that expirit, that house, you know, this investigation,
Speaker 1: Lauren had that experience. And also last night after the investigation,
Speaker 1: Nick he had to go back to Boulder City to
Speaker 1: give a Boulder City tour Haunted bouldercity dot com. It's
Speaker 1: only thirty minutes from Vegas. I'm telling you it's a
Speaker 1: really good tour. You know that Boulder City was built
Speaker 1: to house the workers of the Hoover Dam. There are
Speaker 1: so many weird stories about people who had tragedies and
Speaker 1: deaths and things and surrounding the construction of the Hoover
Speaker 1: dam I'll give you just that's one example. Just think
Speaker 1: about this from it doesn't matter if you believe in
Speaker 1: ghosts or not. Think about this from just an eerie
Speaker 1: historic perspective. On the morning of December twentieth of nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty two, there was a surveyor named J. G. Tierney,
Speaker 1: and he slipped from a barge near the Hoover Damn
Speaker 1: site and drowned. And when that happened, he became the
Speaker 1: first man to die associated with the project. Exactly thirteen
Speaker 1: years later to the day, his son Patrick Tierney fell
Speaker 1: to his death from an intag tower, becoming the last
Speaker 1: man to die on the project. There we go again,
Speaker 1: ice water down the back, my friends, the goosebumps? Did
Speaker 1: you I mean? Is that? What? Is that a coincidence
Speaker 1: to the exact day thirteen years later? Father and son die,
Speaker 1: first man, last minute. You hear these kinds of stories,
Speaker 1: you know, when you when you take a ghost tour.
Speaker 1: It's not like somebody has to jump out and go boo,
Speaker 1: and we don't do any of that stuff, all right,
Speaker 1: You just hear these stories and that's trust me, it's
Speaker 1: good enough. And you get all the UFO stuff Haunted
Speaker 1: Bouldercity dot com. And you know, we have some wonderful
Speaker 1: YouTubers who come out and take the tour and we
Speaker 1: give them like you know, like influencers, We give them
Speaker 1: a VIP experience. Of course, Danny the Medic was the
Speaker 1: first one. And just recently we had Paul and Amy
Speaker 1: from the YouTube channel called Best Food Review road Trip.
Speaker 1: If you don't if you've never watched their videos, especially
Speaker 1: if you're in the Vegas area, get on YouTube. Look
Speaker 1: up Best Food Review road Trip and the one that
Speaker 1: they did about our Haunted Boulder City tour, it's actually
Speaker 1: the tour starts at a place called Beer Zombies, and
Speaker 1: you got in Boulder City, you can actually go to
Speaker 1: Beer Zombies where we meet up and you can get
Speaker 1: a beer, and you can take your beer with you
Speaker 1: on the tour as you walk around town. So it's
Speaker 1: titled Zombie Beer and Haunted Boulder City Ghost and UFO
Speaker 1: Tour near Vegas. Look that up and thank you so
Speaker 1: much Paul and Amy for doing a fantastic job. We
Speaker 1: always love, of course to share what we do with
Speaker 1: people who make YouTube videos. Okay, I told you I
Speaker 1: had a celeb story for you. It's about the celebrity
Speaker 1: chef Guy Fieri, and he actually has at least a
Speaker 1: few restaurants here in the Vegas area. I'm sure he
Speaker 1: has them all around the country. I think I ate
Speaker 1: one of his places, oh, in Virginia or something like that,
Speaker 1: might have been Maryland. Anyway. Fox News they have an
Speaker 1: article by Stephanie jiang Punnon. It says Guy Fieri spoke
Speaker 1: with his late father through a medium, and then in quotations,
Speaker 1: it says Goosebump City Diners, Drive Ins and Dives host
Speaker 1: claims he spoke with his father through a medium two
Speaker 1: days after he died. Says the chef sought spiritual advice
Speaker 1: to help grieve over his late father's death, and he
Speaker 1: said his father died at the age of eighty one.
Speaker 1: His father was named Jim. Fiery said it screwed me up.
Speaker 1: He said, I had days if I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk to anybody, don't want to see anybody, leave me alone.
Speaker 1: Apparently he was on a show called In Depth with
Speaker 1: Graham Benzinger, and of course, the Food Network star continued
Speaker 1: to explain how he had this friend who was a
Speaker 1: spiritual medium, and he said that he had a conversation
Speaker 1: with the medium and she said, your dad is blowing
Speaker 1: me up. He's all over about me. He wants you
Speaker 1: to know something. And then he started. The medium started
Speaker 1: telling guy fiery quote things that nobody in the world
Speaker 1: would know. End quote. He said, let's see. She says
Speaker 1: that they don't usually come this fast. It usually takes
Speaker 1: five or six days. This was like a day or two.
Speaker 1: And he goes, she's not full of it. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: this is the real thing. Something changed. All right. We
Speaker 1: are at the end of the show. The Clacus Goddess.
Speaker 1: Let's leave everybody with the positive note. Take a deep
Speaker 1: breath if you can close your eyes, here's the good
Speaker 1: fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.
