12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 3: Welcome, Thank you, Hi, Happy to be here.

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: How did you get coined the phrase mystic chick?

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: Well, actually, I was trying to come up with a

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 3: podcast name like fifteen years ago and it just kind

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: of like clicked with me. So that's what I've gone

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: with ever since.

18
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: They caught on, didn't it it did? Yeah, how did

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: you first discover these psychic medium mobilities?

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: Well, I actually don't really remember a time without them.

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 3: I think I was about two when I was able

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: to start seeing like the energy around objects. And I

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: have a long line of people on my mom's side

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: that have psychic abilities in different ways, So it just

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: kind of was assumed that, you know, something would come out.

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: Do you specialize in the ghostly realm?

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah?

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: Did it ever scare you? Yeah?

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: I actually it can, but that there's a lot of

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: things in you know, kind of the spirit realm, Like

31
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: there's ghosts, there's spirits, there's negative entities. So I think

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: like negative entities are the things that scare me.

33
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Now, you're not an exorcist, but have you been approached

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: like that to do things similar?

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: I haven't. Yeah, I actually would you bring up can

36
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: you come out of the game with these big, big

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: terms here? Exorcists like, uh, the like demons are actually

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 3: kind of a version of a negative entity. So if

39
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: you are, you know, Catholic, especially any like negative entity

40
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: you would probably attribute as being a demon. But I

41
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: actually worked with somebody in the last year that had

42
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: a piece of a mansion. She was given a piece

43
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: of a mansion from New Orleans and it had a

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: lot of like it was like one of the biggest

45
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: like slave holding places. It had a lot of negative

46
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: energy attached to it. She was so freaked out by it.

47
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: She had it like locked the way in a special

48
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 3: box that this like voodoo pre just told her to

49
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: put it in or something, and it was still wreaking

50
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: havoc in her house because of that negative entity attached

51
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: to it. So yeah, things can get really really ugly

52
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: really quick with that kind of stuff.

53
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: Lauren, tell us what you think about the ghostly realm?

54
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: What is it exactly?

55
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: Well, you know, people talk about the veil, they talk

56
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: about the other side things like that. So ghosts are

57
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: actually they're in another dimension, but they're still earth bound, right,

58
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: So you know, they have to be bound to a person, place,

59
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 3: or thing. A lot of times it could either be

60
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: because of a traumatic death or because of like strong

61
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: emotions like you know, spite. If a woman got cheated

62
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: on by her husband, maybe she decides to haunt him

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: because she just wants to make him unhappy for the

64
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: rest of his life. But you have, you know, the

65
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: ghosts that are bound to the earthplane, and then you

66
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: also have spirits that are people who have crossed over

67
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: and they are you know, doing other things and other

68
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: dimensions living their best lives, but they kind of come

69
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: to us and support us when we need it. But

70
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: also spirits can be attracted to us if they have

71
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: some commonalities with us. So like if everybody's vibrating at

72
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 3: these different frequency levels, energy frequencies, and I think that's

73
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: the key, is that everything is energy and you have,

74
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: you know, energy in all these different forms. Ghosts are

75
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 3: a form of debt, spirits are negative energy is negative

76
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: entities are and as well as you know earthly energies,

77
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: the energy of different places around the world, like Machipchu

78
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: or the Bermuda Triangle, you have the energy of you

79
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: know water even so like dousing when you're you know,

80
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: you're actually looking for water, and you can also douse

81
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: to find ghosts and spirits and so all that energy,

82
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: it's like the fundamental building blocks of everything. And that's

83
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: the common language, and it's just about trying to figure

84
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: out what frequency everything's on. And so whatever frequency you're

85
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: vibrating at, you will attract other things of a similar frequency,

86
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: and so that's when you have the potential to connect

87
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: with ghosts or spirits. Or if you're going through a

88
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: lot of like rough stuff, you're more vulnerable to negative

89
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: entities or just having the effects of negative energy.

90
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: How does a ghost attach itself to an individual? How

91
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: does that happen?

92
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: It's usually because there's something with that person. They had

93
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: some sort of emotional connection in life. So when you

94
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: talk about about things attaching, ghosts can only attach to

95
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: somebody because of you know, strong emotions. But if it's

96
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: just an everyday person going somewhere usually in a negative place,

97
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: a negative entity can attach to anybody. So that's pretty

98
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: much the difference. You have to have some sort of

99
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: connection with the ghosts, and they're basically kind of like

100
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: haunting you.

101
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: How did you end up keen on Woodstock the Opera

102
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: House and that's in Woodstock, Illinois?

103
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, how did I end up? I'm sorry?

104
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: What how did you end up finding that place?

105
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Well?

106
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: I've lived in the area. I'm like two towns away,

107
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: I've lived one town away. I've lived actually in Woodstack. Actually,

108
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: so I I got it for years. I've lived in Woodstack.

109
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: I've known about it for years.

110
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: What is so haunting about it?

111
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: Well, it's there's just if you actually like take it back,

112
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: you know, thousands of years Woodstock Opera House is very

113
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: closely located to a lot of like ancient where ancient

114
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: mounds and things were found. So it's the square itself

115
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: and all the buildings around it have a lot of

116
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: energy kind of focused in that area, and so when

117
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: you have more energy in an geographic location, you have

118
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: more potential to draw things to it. So there's there's

119
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: all kinds of activity in the Opera House, and yeah,

120
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: it's just been a very it's kind of intense to

121
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: be in there.

122
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: You're going to be there on Halloween night, aren't you?

123
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, I'm going to be there Halloween night. Joe

124
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: Diamond and I the mind Reader America's Curtis mind Reader

125
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: are going to be doing some ghost tours there, a

126
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: couple of tours that night.

127
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: Be careful.

128
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: It's always safe though, Like I never bring anybody in

129
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: anywhere that you know, anybody could potentially have any anything

130
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: harmful happened. But it's definitely going to be creepy. And

131
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: if anybody wants tickets for that, just feel free to

132
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: visit mystic tick that net because I have a link

133
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: on there.

134
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 2: You should call our show. We were doing our Ghost

135
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: to Ghost Danuel Halloween show that night. You should. You

136
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: should somehow called in as a listener and give us

137
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: a report on what's going on out there.

138
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: I would love to do that.

139
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: To go sometimes follow people home, that would be so.

140
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: So unless the ghost is bound to somebody because of

141
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: the personal connection, which usually happens in life, the things

142
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: that can follow somebody home would be either a spirit

143
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: because the spirit is crossed over already, so they connect

144
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: with you on you know, a mental frequency or an

145
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: emotional frequency, and once they lock in, they can follow

146
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: you anywhere. Also, a negative entity can actually attach itself

147
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: to you and then you can bring that home, so

148
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: things can come home with you. It's just not typically ghosts.

149
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: Lauren, what does the negative entities want with us? What's

150
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 2: their goal here? Their mission?

151
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 3: Well, they just they their mission really is to feed.

152
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: Let's be like. I mean, they're very basic, but they

153
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: just are looking to feed off of your emotions or

154
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: your physical energy. And so what happens a lot of

155
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: times is that there's all these places on the earth,

156
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: and I know people talk about lay lines, and I

157
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 3: kind of agree with that. There's some things I disagree

158
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: about lay lines, but I kind of envision a net

159
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: around the earth and you have these you know, knots

160
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: in the net, and every knot is going to be

161
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: like a place that has a lot of positive energy

162
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: or a lot of negative energy, and then like the

163
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: strings between the knots are more like kind of those

164
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: pathways where the energy goes from negative to positive. So

165
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: that's why, like when you're you know, walking around town

166
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: and stuff, for the most part, things are pretty like average.

167
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 3: You have to kind of make a trip to go

168
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: somewhere either really positive or really negative for the most part,

169
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: but there's a lot of places that kind of start

170
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: leaning one way or another. And if you have a

171
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: place that is energetically kind of primed to be more negative,

172
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: it attracts more negative things to it, and so then

173
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: people are more likely to say, do bad things in

174
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: a negative energy location, and that adds to the negative energy,

175
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: and so then you have kind of like layers of

176
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: negative energy, and these negative entities kind of seek these

177
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 3: areas out because they are low hanging fruit, like there

178
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: are a similar frequency, and so you already have these

179
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: negative entities kind of cropped up in these locations. And

180
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: then people who are vibrating at a lower frequency, usually

181
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: because of a lot of reasons, but they could have

182
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 3: gone through a breakup. They could have gone just lost

183
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,119
Speaker 3: their job, they could have just had a major surgery,

184
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: they could have had you know, just like lost someone.

185
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: Like the list goes on and on, but like things

186
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: that fundamentally kind of lower your energy and make you vulnerable.

187
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: When you're in that kind of state, you're more drawn

188
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: to places of negative energy and you don't even know what.

189
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,479
Speaker 3: It's like a frog and boiling water, Like it feels comfortable,

190
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: it feels good. It's like, oh, I feel like, you know,

191
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: I'm home. And I always tell people like, if you've

192
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: gone through something major, a loss, you know, a you know,

193
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: you've gone through a breakup or divorce, things like that,

194
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: do not buy another house right away. Like take the time,

195
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 3: get yourself back in order, rent, and then when you're

196
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: in a better place, then move somewhere. And you know

197
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: that you're going to be for a while because it's

198
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: too easy to buy something that could have potential problems.

199
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: And then that energy will feed off of you. And

200
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: usually you know that somebody's got like a negative entity

201
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: or even just in a really bad negative energy location

202
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: because they move into the place and then they'll be like,

203
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: you know, oh my goodness, I've gone through like several

204
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: car accidents in the last year, and you know, then

205
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: I just broke up with my boyfriend and all these

206
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: like bad things start happening.

207
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: Are demons ghosts? Are they something else?

208
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 3: Demons would be like a form of negative entities, so

209
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: they're not ghosts. Ghosts are just people without bodies, so

210
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: you can have evil people, but demons are kind of

211
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 3: another level.

212
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: What's easier to get rid of a bad ghost or

213
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: a bad demon?

214
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good question. Okay, so a bad ghost.

215
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: They both present challenges because the ghost is you know,

216
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: it's a person without a body, so it still has

217
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: free will. You can try to, you know, send it

218
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: to the light, you can, you know, but basically you

219
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: either have to learn to live with it if it

220
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: refuses to go, or you have to move with a demon.

221
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 3: It gets a little weirder a negative entity because you

222
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 3: actually have to remove it or it's going to keep

223
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: feeding off of you. So you can remove yourself from

224
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 3: the location, but again it's connected to you, so it's

225
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: a multi step process because you want to get yourself

226
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: out of the location, but you also need to address

227
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 3: getting get removed from you, which is just an energy thing,

228
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: and it actually does not even take that long. But

229
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: it's also a sign that you know, you're in a

230
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: vulnerable state and you could attract other negative energies or

231
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: entities to its reattached to you, so half of its awareness.

232
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: Getting back to Woodstock, the Opera House. Did somebody die

233
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: there once? Is that? Is that why it's haunted? I

234
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: mean somebody fall all of the balcony or something.

235
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of drama at the Opera House,

236
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: no pun intended, I bet so, Yeah, I mean it's

237
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: a little I have to admit I've been kind of

238
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: a run and around with the Opera House because they're

239
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: a little cagy on that one. They don't want to

240
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: really and I've been through this actually with multiple historic

241
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: locations that I've worked in. They don't want to admit

242
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: that there's ghost activity because they're worried about losing you know,

243
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: people you know coming to see them, or like losing business,

244
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: so they try to you know, no, it's not haunted.

245
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, all of the stuff that I've heard about Alvirah,

246
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: she had been a dancer, she didn't get apart well,

247
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: and there's there are conflicting stories because it was a

248
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: long time ago, and with the multiple multiple fires in

249
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: the Woodstack Square over the last one hundred and fifty years,

250
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: I swear to god there was a fire like every

251
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: five or ten years. Records were lost all the time.

252
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: So but yeah, she conflicting stories. She either jumped off

253
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: the belfry tower because she lost the part that she

254
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: really really, you know, thought she deserved as a dancer.

255
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: The other thing that people kind of talk about is

256
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: her like going through a breakup and just hanging herself.

257
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: So there's a lot with that. And also there's historically

258
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: proven somebody died in the building due to a fire.

259
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: So a long time ago, some people passing through town

260
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: were kind of camping out in the basement and there

261
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: was actually like a wrestling match going on with like

262
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: six hundred people, and nobody was hurt except the one

263
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 3: of the people in the basement that started the fire

264
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: to warm up. So bad situation.

265
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: But what about a haunted seat out there?

266
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Gidi one thirteen is Alvira's seat. So a

267
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: lot of times during rehearsals for performances and things like that,

268
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: you can actually observe her being present because the seat

269
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 3: will actually be in the downposition, and like they've checked

270
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: it a million times and it's normally very functional. It

271
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: stays up on its own, So she's had a lot

272
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: of like interaction in different ways with the theater.

273
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: You can actually see her.

274
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 3: I personally don't see her. I feel her, But again

275
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: it depends on the person. So if you whatever frequency

276
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: you're vibrating at, you'll pick up on different things. I

277
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: more hear ghosts or I will feel ghosts. I also

278
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: get a lot of like information through like thought forms

279
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: and stuff. It takes a lot for me to see one,

280
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: and usually it's not for the best.

281
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: Lauren, is this a different Alvira from the one we've

282
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: known from the movies?

283
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely a different Elvira, although I love the one

284
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 3: from the movies.

285
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: Were Yeah, that one wasn't evil at all.

286
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: No, and she yeah, she was a cutie.

287
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: But Woodstock is a strange place. Now when you give

288
00:17:53,680 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: these tours, do people feel these unusual circumstances? So what

289
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 2: are they witness?

290
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, we've actually one of my last tours there,

291
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 3: and that's the question. Like we were trying to figure

292
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 3: out with the group if it was Alvira or it

293
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: felt like a younger energy. But we were actually and

294
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 3: in the basement is where the old jail cells were

295
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: because way back when before it was just the opera house.

296
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: It was more of a municipal center, but it was

297
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: also it had you know, performances and operas and things

298
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 3: like that, but it was also the firehouse, the courthouse,

299
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: the library. So we were downstairs in the jail cell

300
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: area and in this back room like it was just

301
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: we heard things like falling off the walls like some

302
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: like people started going in there and you know, their

303
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: pendulums were going crazy. We went back out and then

304
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: there was like more noise. It was very very bizarre,

305
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: and everybody was really freaked out, but it was pretty fun.
