WEBVTT - S1: EP 9 — There’s “A Demon in Your House” 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.160 Sorry, I'm late. Please tell me you already started. 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:27.960 (MUMBLES) 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:31.400 Thank god 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:36.680 module four posthumous policies for respect in the workplace. Now that 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.920 we've covered corporate consideration. 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:43.159 Welcome back, hauntos Therésa here with another episode of haunting. Unfortunately, 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.800 we've got some business to attend to today. 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.840 Let's talk about the R word. 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:49.879 To recap 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:50.800 respect 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.360 for those of you who missed our last little get together. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.640 I called HR on Len because he asked me to 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.440 help him rezip his zip off cargo shorts. 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:01.440 (MUMBLES) 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.600 I shouldn't ever have to think about your knees. Anyway, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.840 They turn the tables on me because apparently it's inappropriate 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.160 to interagate your coworker on their romantic life. And now 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.800 we all have to complete a mandatory HR training. If 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.280 we don't pass, the pod will be suspended until we 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.880 do so. Moral of the story, HR is not your friend. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.480 Vesparn is a poultergeist who works in IT at the 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.000 Squeaky Hinge Factory. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:32.080 Naturally, 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.760 his coworker, Jessica, a Pulsating orb in field Sales, has given him 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:43.520 the nickname the Sultan of Shriek. Is this an example 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:48.720 of unlawful harassment? A no, as the nickname was not 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:53.720 given with malicious intent. B Yes, the nickname appears to 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:59.440 be rooted in offensive stereotypes. C yes because the dark 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.440 forces are strong in Jessica and she's just bad news. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:04.240 A. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.680 Why would it be C Naomi? Are you deaf? She's a 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.920 flashing orb. She's basically mist. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:14.880 The correct answer is B 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:16.000 damn it. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.240 Module five reporting. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:20.000 Ugh, 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.840 if there's something strange in your neighborhood, who are you 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:30.240 gonna call? That's right, your company's in human resources team. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.080 Well, we suffer through this. Take a listen to Chris 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.600 from Massachusetts, who, believe it or not, is having a 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.359 worse go of things than we are. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:48.400 It had the dirt driveway, lots of potholes, lots of 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:53.160 tall grass. It was one of those houses that If 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.720 you had kids in the neighborhood throwing rocks at it 0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:00.280 and they told stories, Well, that was my house. While I was in 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.600 the house, I just felt like I was being watched, 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.280 like someone was over my shoulder or something was just 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:08.840 There with me. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:15.000 It's an uneasy feeling. My name is Chris, and I 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:23.960 had a demon in my house. I was in the 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.639 market for a house. My great aunt said there was 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.680 one in town. It's an old house. It was your 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.639 great uncle's. He had passed away a few years before, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.480 so the house had been sitting for a couple of years. 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.680 Even though I was a little bit concerned about it, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:48.000 I decided I'd go take a look. The house was 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.320 originally built in nineteen twelve and it was in the 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:56.720 family since the beginning. This big, dark, brown, two story 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:02.360 house sat on The corner between two different side streets. At sunset, 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:03.400 it looked like it was black. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.960 The grass was overgrown. We were talking two three foot tall. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.560 They had probably twenty three twenty four windows in it, 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.800 the old big knee high vintage style ones. 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.159 None of the windows opened, they were all rotted closed. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:27.120 The doors creaked, every Board creaked, and it looked like 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.200 the roof was sagging in. You ever thought of a classic 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.240 haunted house. That was it. 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.080 I just talked to myself, well, it is kind of 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.120 creepy and scary in some Parts, but I can make 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.080 this work. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.400 I was really excited because it was my first house. I 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.479 moved in right away. For some reason, all the kids 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.440 in the neighborhood were afraid of it. I didn't understand why, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.240 at least until after I had moved in, and then 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.200 I started to understand. From the first moment that I 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.680 walked in, it always seemed as though there was a 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:10.760 heaviness in the air. It was opressive. While I was 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.840 in the house, I just felt like I was being 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.599 watched all the time, and I never felt like I 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.880 was alone. I always felt like someone was over my shoulder. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:25.280 It's an uneasy feeling, and I felt a lot of anxiety. 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.360 And at this point I don't really believe in ghosts 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.080 or spirits or anything like that. So I started gutting it. 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.599 I started ripping walls down, I started ripping ceiling down, 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:52.800 fixing floors, built a brand new kitchen. The air inside was 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.520 always cold in that house. One time I was playing 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.720 video games in the living room. It was the middle 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.800 of summer, I had all the windows open and it 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.839 was ninety degrees, but there was a cold spot right 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.719 next to me, just getting colder and colder. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.880 It finally felt like I was going to start seeing 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:13.400 my breath. 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.040 I'm sitting there and out of the corner of my eye, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.680 I saw a black shape. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:32.839 It looked like a person or something. I'm a skeptic. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.760 My backgrounds law enforcement, engineering. I take over them to the 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.360 grain of salt, and I don't really put too much 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:44.279 into it. But over the course of weeks, all kinds 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.479 of events happened me. At the same time in this house. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.719 We had a guy's night, and we all hear this 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.560 bang on the second floor. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.160 It sounds like heavy footsteps, like a guy with boots 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:13.920 or something pacing. Boom, boom, boom. There shouldn't be anyone 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.320 up there, because everyone's in the living room, and so 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:26.640 we've run upstairs. And we don't see anything. That occurred 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.880 a few more times by myself. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.200 One night, maybe two am, I was in my bedroom 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:40.160 sleeping on the second floor. I heard these footsteps, one 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:50.240 at a time on the stairs, some heavy kind of boom, 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:57.040 these footsteps walked to the door, and something tries the doorknob. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.280 I jumped out of bed . I opened the door, and I 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.360 look around the corner and nothing 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.800 I'm thinking to myself, I'm just halucinating , and I 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:21.640 started sleeping on a futon on the first floor. I 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.560 thought maybe I have cabin fever. Maybe I needed companionship, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.360 and so I said, okay, fine, I'll get a dog. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.439 So I got a German shepherd puppy, and that dog 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.600 grew in a few months, and this huge one hundred 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.199 and twenty pound guard dog. 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.520 She never would go to the second floor. She would 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.080 always hang at the bottom of the staircase, as though she 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:52.480 was Looking at something and she would growl at whatever 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:56.320 it was she thought it was an enemy or something to 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.280 protect me from. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.880 There was a very heavy, dense energy in the house. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.559 I was angry all the time. Whenever I could, I 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.160 would try to work extra hours or I would go 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.320 out with my friends because I didn't want to be there. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.120 The only time I would go home was to take 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.360 care of the dog and to do some repairs in 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:25.800 the house. I had no shades in the windows or 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.800 anything like that, and so oftentimes the neighbors would see 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.280 me working late into the night and I would just 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:33.760 do my things. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:43.960 Well, that was until this one Friday I went to dinner and 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.600 a movie. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.520 I left porchlight on and the front light on, locked 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:56.320 up the house. I remember it because I was driving 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.360 Home around midnight. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.800 As soon as I turned the corner into the neighborhood, 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.520 that house sticks out. It's the very first house you see. 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:14.280 The entire house. Every single light was lit up. All 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.800 the lights, including the bathroom at the far end. I 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.280 was genuinely concerned. I felt like someone had broken in 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.839 or that it was on fire, and so I ran 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.640 up to the door, unlocked it, and I ran Through 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.800 the house looking for something. It turned out there was 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:31.480 no one there. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:38.160 I was freaked out because I know I switched everything off. I 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.960 started frantically calling my friends and family to see if 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.160 one of them had stopped by. And oh, I turned 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.559 all the lights on and I'm sorry, and all that 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:48.880 I had finished calling, everyone. 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.560 No had turned any lights on. And so I said, Okay, that's 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.040 kind of strange. Maybe I was tired and I forgot. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:59.560 You know, I'm a skeptic. So the next day I 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:00.760 went to go get my mail. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:10.400 My mailbox is directly across from my neighbor's mailbox, and 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:16.720 she comes walking out and she gestures to me. She 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.400 introduces herself. She's been in the neighborhood for over thirty years, 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.240 and she said, were you at the house last night? 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.080 I said no, I went to dinner and a movie. I 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.720 asked her, did you see anything in the house? She says, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.360 all of the lights in the house, one by one, 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:42.040 turned on, as though someone was walking through the rooms 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:47.160 one at a time, turning the lights on. I wasn't 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.680 sure if someone was breaking into your house, and so 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.760 I kept watching. I could see them in the big 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.000 windows that you had, walking from the back kitchen area 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.160 and then went around downstairs, and then he went to 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:04.360 the master bedroom. The light turned on, and then he 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:09.240 went towards the window. And whoever it was didn't look 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.480 like you, and she said, I tried to look for 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.480 its face, and all it was was this tall, thin, 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:22.480 black shape with two red eyes. I almost lost it 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.520 right there. I needed someone to tell me that I 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.319 was either crazy or that there was something going on, 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.120 and that someone could do something about it. I was 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:38.040 just looking for answers, really. I had posted my experiences 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.760 on several different haunted forums and ghosts forums and all that. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.920 And this woman responds back to me and says, I 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.959 can tell you a lot more about this. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.440 My name is Amy. I am a rescue medium. I 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.800 told Chris, why don't you tell me what's going on 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.320 in the home, and maybe I can give you a 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.400 few answers to clarify things for you. 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.120 She's very knowledgeable, which I was very impressed with. 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.600 And I eventually got to the point where I trusted 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.000 her enough and I invited her over. 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.920 When I pull up to the property, this place looked 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.680 like the traditional haunted home that you would usually see 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.719 in a movie. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.520 I feel this foreboding presence, 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.080 and so Amy's walking around looking in each one of 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:30.520 the rooms. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.920 I get to the staircase and I feel something staring 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:42.840 down at me the moment that I get there. I 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.600 stop in my tracks, I look up the staircase, and 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.120 standing at the top of the stairs, I saw a 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:57.200 dark shadow. It has the silhouette of a man, but 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.160 I didn't see the soul essence inside of it. It 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:05.240 looked hollow. It didn't have a face. It just had 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:11.000 red eyes staring back at me. I looked straight at 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.199 it and I told it that it was leaving the property, 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.320 and it yelled at me to get out of the house. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.880 I look at Chris and I'm like, this is not 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.760 an earthbound spirit, this is not a fragmented soul. It's 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.800 not a spirit from the other side. You have a 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.160 demon in your house and it wants to feed off 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:36.640 of you and anyone who comes into this property. 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:42.800 Thankfully, Amy is a rescue medium and a rescue medium 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.360 some of it actually releases negative entities, things like that. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.640 Over the course of a few weeks, she was able 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:55.040 to help me by smudging the house. I was able 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.680 to clear the house, and it was as though energetically 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.560 the house was a completely different animal. The visitations got less 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.360 and less. I didn't have as many cold spots. I 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.520 didn't feel like I was being watched all the time. I 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.680 do really believe that had there not been an intervention, 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:15.680 I would have died in that house. 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.840 Glowing red eyes hmmm, demon stereotype much? 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:35.880 (MUMBLES) 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.960 Of course they do. Hey not to sound like a boomer, 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:41.960 but does it count if my intentions are good and I'm 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:47.200 just confused? Okay, relax, you're getting just as many of 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:48.400 these questions wrong as I am. 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:53.760 Which of the following is not a protected category? A 0:15:53.800 --> 0:16:01.440 celestial classification B cause of death C Allegiance to the 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:06.560 Dark Forces or D sexual orientation 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:10.960 C 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:15.640 The correct answer is C allegiance to the Dark Forces. 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.840 Finally, nice job, team, Maybe we can right this ship after all. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.520 It's time for the sudden death round. 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.480 That's different. I guess the good news is we're technically 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.840 already dead. While we fight to the finish with an 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:40.160 HR training module. Meet Rose and Kayla, Who are dealing with 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.000 a little haunted workplace harassment of their own. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.960 I'm terrified, what is happening? Why is there a person here? 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.440 I'm the only person that's supposed to be up here. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:17:00.520 I walk in. I was confused because why she's staring 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.879 at nothing. I said something like you okay, or what 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.520 are you doing? She's just like, I think I just 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:09.280 saw a ghost. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:11.200 My name's Rose. 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.840 I'm Kayla and Rose is my friend. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.840 And this is the story of how I stumbled into 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:24.840 a ghost sitting in the ghost chair. The Society for 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.200 Castle Restoration exists to raise funds to restore a Gray 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:33.720 Towers Castle, which is a National Historic Landmark in Glenside, Pennsylvania. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.320 We put on a few different events throughout the year 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.760 based in the castle. We do a haunted house and 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.840 we do a game of live action Clue. It's pretty 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:47.119 late at night, getting pretty close to midnight. My club 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.480 has just finished putting on an event in the castle 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.399 and I'm up in the attic by myself sorting some 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:55.080 stuff out. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.399 There is so much stuff up there, just debris lying 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.879 around with props on either side. So before and after events, 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.040 we have to sort through them and put them away. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.959 You know, I don't usually believe in haunted stuff, but 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.919 it's really sketchy up there. You go up into a 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:19.879 small circular room that has a spiral staircase that goes 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:24.640 up to the attic. One of them is slightly broken. 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.680 I think it's the third step. If you step too 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.920 close to the edge of it, it's not actually attached 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.639 to the step anymore, so it will like clatter a 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:40.879 little bit. It freaks me out every time. When you 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.600 get to the attic, there's this giant metal box full 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.959 of wires blocking your pathway into the rest of the attic. 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.520 I'm pretty sure it's either a mechanical box or like 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:59.280 air conditioning. It's very industrial. To the right of this 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:05.119 structure is a tiny, little narrow passageway you have to 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.720 crawl your way through. You have to dodge over a 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.119 lot of debris. It's basically just enough room to get 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:12.840 your body through. 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.440 I think there's a hole in the floor somewhere in 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.159 the middle there. It's sort of a perilous journey to 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.040 walk over there. I'm also really tall, I'm five ten, 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:28.280 so it doesn't help in the attic. If you go right, 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:32.359 there's this one giant room that spans the whole length 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.760 of the building. It's probably about half a football field. 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:41.080 It's a huge attic. There are beams on the ceiling 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.000 and there are wires hanging off of some beams, so 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.719 there's a lot of ducking involved, and There's like holes 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.399 in the floor. It's above a room with a vaulted ceiling, 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.240 so I always feel like I'm gonna die, And because 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:55.680 the lights don't turn on, you usually can't see the back. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:02.200 There's also like the standard creaky old attic noises. It's 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:07.240 very spooky. You can always hear voices up there. It's 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.919 sort of like when you can hear talking that's like 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.520 really far away and you can't quite make out what 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.800 it is and it's really distant, but you can still 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:21.359 like hear it in the background. It's really weird. Every 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.520 time we're in the attic, it's tradition that you have 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.359 to walk over and look at the ghost chair. 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:30.400 The ghost chair is this metal folding chair in this 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.600 weird room in the attic if you can call it 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.119 a room, it's more like the space. It's kind of 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.399 like a mini tradition like the first time I was 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.320 taken up in the attic, we walked over and looked 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:42.680 at the chair, and then we went on with our day. 0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.440 I don't like doing it because it's kind of creepy, 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.400 but I'm not really doing anything at the moment, so 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.200 I decide it's time to go look at the ghost chair, 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:53.959 as we do when we're in the attic by ourselves. 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.320 I think, just because that's one of the spaces that's 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.879 had a lot of encounters, and I think in general 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.520 it's just a creepy spot. So it's been nicknamed the 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:04.120 ghost Chair. 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:06.639 The room that the ghost chair is in is like 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:07.760 halfway back. 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:16.040 You have to swing a right and continue walking through darkness. 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.560 With the lights behind you. You can see right and 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:21.640 feet ahead of you. 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.199 And dead center in the middle of the room is 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:31.000 a folding metal chair. It's facing the door but at 0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:35.080 an angle, and there's this really strange spotlight sort of 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:40.920 thing that's always shining directly down on it. I'm figuring, 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:42.600 you know, I'll just look at it and then turn 0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:44.879 around and go back, and by then someone will be 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.280 up here with more stuff that we can sort. You know, 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:49.800 it's just going to be the ghost chair. It's always 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:55.600 just the chair and the spotlight looking weird. As I 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:59.879 glance into the room, I see this figure sitting on 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:05.000 the ghost chair. I just sort of stand there for 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.760 a moment, staring at it. It's not moving at all, 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:13.080 It's just sitting there. I'm like terrified, what is happening? 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:16.800 Why is there a person here? At that point, I 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:20.359 turned right around and walk right back to where I 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.800 was before. What did I just see? What's happening? Did 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:34.600 I actually see a ghost? I just sort of stare 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.960 at the wall for a minute, trying to rationalize what 0:22:38.040 --> 0:22:42.920 had just happened. I was very confused. Why is it 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.439 now that a ghost has suddenly decided to show up? 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.320 And why is it when I'm alone? At that point, 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:51.919 my friend Kayla walked in with some other props and 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.760 was like, why are you staring at the wall? What happened? 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:56.520 Weren't you supposed to be sorting things 0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.679 when I first get up there, Rose is out of it. 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.320 She didn't really say anything to me. I asked her 0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:06.280 what she was doing because she was kind of blankly staring. 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.400 I was there for a while trying to figure out 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:10.200 what was happening. 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.080 It takes her a second and then she kind of 0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:17.080 is like, I think I just saw a ghost. I 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:21.600 kind of like shrug, and I'm like, okay are you pulling 0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:22.960 a practical joke on me? 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:27.679 I tell her, I swear I just saw someone sitting 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.720 in the ghost chair. Please go back over there with 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.840 me so we can make sure I'm not going insane. 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:37.399 I think she. Wanted to check it out again to 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.080 see if it was a person or not. 0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:42.280 You make the journey back over to the ghost Chair 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:47.359 and look in, but there is nothing there. 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:48.680 It's just the chair, 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:53.280 ominously sitting in the middle of the room. 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:57.480 No ghost at all. She's like, okay, sure, sure there 0:23:57.520 --> 0:24:00.680 was someone sitting in the ghost chair Rose. I swear 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.960 I saw a sort of dark figure sitting on the chair, 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:05.600 and I was very freaked out. 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.439 She was always skeptical of this kind of stuff. She 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:12.560 was just like, if they exist, okay, I'm not sure 0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.280 about that, but I don't think they're real type deal. 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:20.000 And then she had an experience. It didn't really make 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:22.600 any sense to her or me. There's no way for 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.119 someone to get up in the attic other than the 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:28.200 way I came, so I would have seen someone or something. 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:33.120 She's usually the level headed one based on the fact 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.000 that she Doesn't believe in that stuff, and after seeing 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.800 how Shaken up she was, I knew she had seen 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:45.280 a ghost, and I'm known to make jokes about things. 0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:49.679 I said something like, welcome to the club, and you 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:51.240 just had a ghost encounter. 0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:55.800 She was proud. I haven't gone to look at the 0:24:55.840 --> 0:24:58.520 ghost chair by myself, since I'm too freaked out to 0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:02.199 do it. I think i would consider going back, but 0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:08.520 not in the middle of the night. 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:19.080 Good news everyone, After many good faith attempts, we finally 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:22.280 passed our sensitivity training and our workplace has been declared 0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:31.560 non toxic.
