Speaker 2: and associates. We would like to encourage you to do
Speaker 2: your own research and discover the subject matter for yourself.
Speaker 1: Ready, you will be amazed by the wizard of Weird.
Speaker 1: This is Strange Thing Warren. I am Joshua Wape Warrent,
Speaker 1: and each week on this show I'll be bringing up
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 My Scariest Experiences. You know,
Speaker 1: I I I have to to confess something to you.
Speaker 1: You know, gosh uh, your old pal here, the Great
Speaker 1: and Terrible Joshua pe Warren sometimes just gets kind of
Speaker 1: worn out talking about uh deep philosophy and quantum physics
Speaker 1: and all that kind of thing. I mean, look, recently,
Speaker 1: what have I What have I talked about? Oh? I
Speaker 1: opened the Portal to Another Dimension. I did a show
Speaker 1: about the Shuman Residence, Scientific Truths in the Bible, Who
Speaker 1: Killed JFK? The Heepaphone, Whona? And sometimes I just get
Speaker 1: worn out and I'm like, you know what, I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, like a simpler kind of show, and
Speaker 1: hopefully you'll enjoy that as well. It's more like we're
Speaker 1: just kind of sitting around next to the campfire. One
Speaker 1: of the reasons that I say that is that, you know,
Speaker 1: I live here in Las Vegas and it's an international city,
Speaker 1: and whenever there's a bug going around, well, I'm very
Speaker 1: likely to get it. Because one of the things I
Speaker 1: like to do, of course, is I'll go out to
Speaker 1: these casinos. You know, I'm not as big of a gamblers.
Speaker 1: You might think I'll put twenty bucks in, maybe one hundred,
Speaker 1: and that's all you need if you know what you're doing,
Speaker 1: Sit there and gamble for a while, get some free drinks.
Speaker 1: But the problem is you're touching everything, and you're you're
Speaker 1: constantly touching these slot machines, and you know, if you're
Speaker 1: not careful, then you'll get a cold, and so I
Speaker 1: got I got a little bit of a cold now.
Speaker 1: And it's also it's funny when when you are in
Speaker 1: my position and you have a podcast and you say
Speaker 1: you have a medical issue at all, like, oh, I
Speaker 1: got a cold. All these people we'll contact you and
Speaker 1: give you advice on what to do. But you have
Speaker 1: to understand this is not live radio. This is a
Speaker 1: recorded podcast. So I usually record these shows two or
Speaker 1: three weeks before you hear them. So by the time
Speaker 1: you've heard this, the cold is already over. So there's
Speaker 1: no need to send me your your well wishes or
Speaker 1: your recommendations. And you know, that's just part of life.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to you gotta get colds once
Speaker 1: in a while, and hopefully that makes you a stronger person.
Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, I'm going to take
Speaker 1: it easy for this show. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: going to be a good show or not. You might
Speaker 1: think it's a terrible show. You might think it's super boring.
Speaker 1: But people ask me all the time, they say, Joshua,
Speaker 1: you have been investigating the paranormal for over thirty years professionally,
Speaker 1: what are some of your scariest experiences? And so once
Speaker 1: in a while, I'm like, well, you know, let me
Speaker 1: let me just go ahead and sit down and tell
Speaker 1: you about some of my scariest experiences. By the way,
Speaker 1: before I get into this, you know again, I recently
Speaker 1: at a show about Who Killed JFK That got quite
Speaker 1: a reaction. Let's see, that was episode two thirty nine
Speaker 1: called Here's Who Killed JFK. A lot of people really
Speaker 1: enjoyed that show. And I just want to mention real
Speaker 1: quick here that anybody in history who wants to be
Speaker 1: the president of the country is kind of insane because
Speaker 1: normal people don't want to do that. Normal people do
Speaker 1: not want to be in charge of a country. And
Speaker 1: our founders here in the US they knew that, and
Speaker 1: so that's why they put checks and balances and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff in there to try to to
Speaker 1: try to rectify the insanity of the egos that get
Speaker 1: involved with politics. And I've talked a little bit about
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really I don't usually get into
Speaker 1: politics on this show, but I have said before that
Speaker 1: I think that that's an inherent flaw in the political
Speaker 1: system that normal, sensible, logical people don't want to get
Speaker 1: involved in that. So we end up with leaders in
Speaker 1: many cases who are kind of out there. And look,
Speaker 1: I'm an independent. I have my entire life. I've always
Speaker 1: been registered as an independent, and I have voted for
Speaker 1: every party you can imagine locally and nationally. So I'm
Speaker 1: not here to say anything in particular about a politician,
Speaker 1: but I just think in general, people who want to
Speaker 1: go into politics, they obviously think about life differently than
Speaker 1: we do. All right, My scariest experiences, Well, you know
Speaker 1: what's funny is that when when I meet somebody and occasionally,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, so many people listen to this
Speaker 1: show that sometimes I'll be at a restaurant or something
Speaker 1: and someone will recognize my voice, and sometimes they can
Speaker 1: confuse me with another person, you know, but anyway, they say,
Speaker 1: are you? And so then they start telling me like,
Speaker 1: oh god, you know, I bet your life has been amazing.
Speaker 1: Tell me about some scary things that have happened to you.
Speaker 1: And I think they're expecting me to say that I
Speaker 1: have contra up a demon or something like that, and
Speaker 1: that this horrific demon has appeared. And you know what
Speaker 1: the truth is, I tried that. I made a documentary
Speaker 1: years ago called Inside the Church of Satan, and I
Speaker 1: was the first person who was allowed to go inside
Speaker 1: the Church of Satan in many many years. And I'm
Speaker 1: not even certain right now how you can see that movie.
Speaker 1: But in that documentary, I mean I did a bonafide
Speaker 1: ritual and I tried to conjure up the devil himself
Speaker 1: or something similar. And I can tell you that I
Speaker 1: have never seen a demon with my physical eyes. It's possible,
Speaker 1: if you want to get psychic about this, that I've
Speaker 1: seen it with my third eye. Sometimes. I mean, I
Speaker 1: believe this. There's certain things that you can see spiritually
Speaker 1: with your third eye that you don't see with your
Speaker 1: physical eyes. So you know, I could sit here and
Speaker 1: tell you stories like that, but I want to be
Speaker 1: practical here. And the fact of the matter is I
Speaker 1: have never directly with my own two eyes. I've never
Speaker 1: seen a demon like a little monstrous creature with horns.
Speaker 1: I've never seen an alien. I have seen ghosts with
Speaker 1: my physical eyes, So I mean that's a different story,
Speaker 1: because you know, I even took a photograph of well,
Speaker 1: I consider a ghost a ghostly mists up. You know,
Speaker 1: Ghosts or ghosts are different. Ghosts are things that are
Speaker 1: trapped in the environment, and you just rarely get to
Speaker 1: witness them. You know. When I was in Puerto Rico,
Speaker 1: I used to hang out with all these old salty
Speaker 1: fishermen and they said that sometimes you get lucky when
Speaker 1: you were out there on the ocean at dusk, and
Speaker 1: if you just were gazing in the right direction at
Speaker 1: the right moment, you'd see the green flash, some kind
Speaker 1: of weird atmospheric phenomenon. The sun is going down and
Speaker 1: then boom, there's a flash of green. And man, I
Speaker 1: was out there frequently looking for that green flash, and
Speaker 1: I never saw it. But it's real, it's a true thing. Finally,
Speaker 1: you can look it up for yourself online. I mean,
Speaker 1: somebody went out and photographed the green flash. So I
Speaker 1: mean there are things that are real, visual things you
Speaker 1: can experience that are very very rare. Just because you
Speaker 1: haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not real. And so
Speaker 1: it's rare. To see a ghost, You've got to look
Speaker 1: really hard for him all the time. So I've seen ghosts.
Speaker 1: But you know, the funny thing is, I'm going to
Speaker 1: surprise you probably because when we come back from our break,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about some of the the
Speaker 1: truly scariest experiences that I have had, and most of
Speaker 1: them are mundane and things that you can relate to.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about some kind of craziness. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about things that are very, very practical and real. You'll
Speaker 1: see what I mean. You know, I do this show
Speaker 1: because that you support it, and so it's a free show.
Speaker 1: If you want me to keep doing it, then all
Speaker 1: you have to do is go to Joshuapwarren dot com

Speaker 1: Strange Things all on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
Speaker 1: am para normal podcast network. And I will be right back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast af Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Weird, Joshua Wa P Warren Beam again
Speaker 1: into your worm whole brain from my studio in Sin City,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every
Speaker 1: night is silver Zoom. And if you happened to be
Speaker 1: near Los Vegas, you have to go take my Haunted
Speaker 1: Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour. It's only about a
Speaker 1: thirty minute drive outside of Vegas. And I just recently
Speaker 1: updated the website with a bunch of videos from basically
Speaker 1: like YouTuber's influencer types who have taken the tour and
Speaker 1: done videos about it Haunted Boulder City dot com. And
Speaker 1: now that we're getting into the busy season, you know
Speaker 1: this would be the time to do it because we
Speaker 1: sell out frequently. You know, it's funny because all right,
Speaker 1: my scariest experiences. I was talking to doctor Molder the
Speaker 1: other day, and I hate having telephone conversations. It's just
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's it's probably because that I
Speaker 1: have just talked so much for a living for decades,
Speaker 1: but he and I had a great conversation. It was
Speaker 1: over three hours. Maybe I don't know. Maybe it's also
Speaker 1: like a gen X thing I was looking the other day.
Speaker 1: You know what gen X supposedly is. Let's see, it
Speaker 1: says if you were born between the mid nineteen sixties
Speaker 1: in the early nineteen eighties, you're supposed to be some
Speaker 1: kind of I guess that's what they call gen X.
Speaker 1: And I was born in nineteen seventy six, so I'm
Speaker 1: going to be forty nine this year. Maybe it has
Speaker 1: something to do with that. I don't know, but yeah,
Speaker 1: we talked for hours, and it was one of those
Speaker 1: conversations and it was like when we were done, we go,
Speaker 1: you know, we should just get together and record ourselves
Speaker 1: having one of these conversations and make like a documentary
Speaker 1: out of it. One thing we talked about was this
Speaker 1: method that doctor Moulder he uses all the time when
Speaker 1: he's about to try to manifest something, he'll take it's
Speaker 1: called pumping chi And at one point, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I still have this on my website or not,
Speaker 1: but I had this thing, this booklet on my website
Speaker 1: at one point where it was like an instructional booklet
Speaker 1: and it told you how to pump chi. So here's
Speaker 1: the idea, Like, okay, if you want to manifest a
Speaker 1: powerful ball of energy, you sit there and you relax,
Speaker 1: and you put your your two hands as close together
Speaker 1: as you can without touching them, and then you bring
Speaker 1: them about six inches apart, and then you put them
Speaker 1: as close together as you can without touching, you know,
Speaker 1: palm to palm, and then two inches apart, and you
Speaker 1: keep doing this so you start filling this kind of
Speaker 1: like magnetic sensation, and it helps if you rub your
Speaker 1: hands together and get them nice and stimulated. I'm doing
Speaker 1: it right now, as you can tell. And what happens
Speaker 1: is you start to build up this imagine it as
Speaker 1: a ball of energy, and then once you have this
Speaker 1: ball of energy, then you can place that onto your
Speaker 1: wishing machine or your tepaphone or whatever your manifestation devices.
Speaker 1: And he says that he does this all the time,
Speaker 1: and that's one of his keys to success. And one
Speaker 1: of the people that I met who made an impact
Speaker 1: on me when it came to generating all that was
Speaker 1: Grandmaster Tom Cameron, who lives in Chicago. So I believe
Speaker 1: the very first time I went to Chicago, and gosh,
Speaker 1: you know, I was a pretty young fellow at that time.
Speaker 1: I was probably you know, certainly in my early twenties.
Speaker 1: I went to Chicago. Uh, and he was teaching me
Speaker 1: and other people how to create these kind of balls
Speaker 1: of chi and and fire them at things. And we
Speaker 1: have been on television together. I mean, uh, well, he
Speaker 1: was on Ripley's Believe It or Not and Steve Harvey
Speaker 1: and then and then I was there on a show
Speaker 1: with him for the History Channel where we were measuring
Speaker 1: him blasting these balls of energy and so. Uh so
Speaker 1: one time I was at his house and I was crashing.
Speaker 1: He was so nice he let me crash in his bedroom. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I believe it again. It was the first time
Speaker 1: I'd gone to Chicago. And then so we had a pizza.
Speaker 1: He introduced me to Girdono's Deep Dish pizza. A lot
Speaker 1: of people would say it's more of a pie. Whatever. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you've never had gi your Donna's, go go try
Speaker 1: it out. And so so one afternoon I woke up
Speaker 1: and we'd had a long night, and I walked out
Speaker 1: to his parking lot. Great because he kind of lived
Speaker 1: in like a complex, and uh, there was a dumpster
Speaker 1: there and I opened the dumpster to throw this pizza
Speaker 1: box away, and a raccoon jumped straight out of this dumpster,
Speaker 1: right at my face. That may be the scariest thing
Speaker 1: that's ever happened to me, believe it or not, a
Speaker 1: raccoon jumping out of a dumpster. There was another occasion
Speaker 1: when I was growing up in western North Carolina when
Speaker 1: I had a friend who had a pit bull, and
Speaker 1: one evening we were outside and that pit bull went,
Speaker 1: I don't know, he didn't like me for some reason.
Speaker 1: Most animals liked me, but he went straight for my jewels.
Speaker 1: And if he had not had a good leash on
Speaker 1: that thing. Wow. And then one time I went to
Speaker 1: a lion habitat and this lion saw me. That was
Speaker 1: here in Las Vegas, they have a lion habit and
Speaker 1: the lion ran up and started roaring at me. And
Speaker 1: you see, the scariest experiences in reality that I've had,
Speaker 1: just to be honest with you, have probably come from
Speaker 1: from wild animals. You know. When I was when I
Speaker 1: was a teenager, I went hiking one evening in the
Speaker 1: Blue Ridge Mountains not far from Mount Pisga in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: I was with a buddy and I walked up on
Speaker 1: a black bear in the middle of the night, and
Speaker 1: that black bear, you know, he or she or whatever
Speaker 1: it was, looked at me, and I looked at it,
Speaker 1: and we just stood there, and then it turned around
Speaker 1: and ran off. And I had the same experience, similar
Speaker 1: experience when I would camp at Brown Mountain where the
Speaker 1: Brown Mountain lights appear where because that's actually a black
Speaker 1: bear reserve, where I walked up on a black bear
Speaker 1: and then a black bear would turn around and run off.
Speaker 1: And then, of course you've probably heard talked about that
Speaker 1: time that my wife Lauren and I we weren't married yet,
Speaker 1: but we were living together and we had this house
Speaker 1: out way out in the countryside of West North Carolina
Speaker 1: now Alexander, North Carolina. And this black snake slithered up
Speaker 1: into my bed one day, and let me tell you
Speaker 1: that was you know, I don't want to tell that
Speaker 1: whole story again, but I mean, like that was. I
Speaker 1: woke up and there was a black snake right there
Speaker 1: in my face, and this thing was I don't know why,
Speaker 1: it was angry, and it was hissing and striking at me.
Speaker 1: I disposed of that snake, and then a second one
Speaker 1: was right there behind it. So I've had a lot
Speaker 1: of these, you know experiences. Well, I think that's what's scary.
Speaker 1: I think that wild animals are scary. Ghosts don't really
Speaker 1: scare me, to be honest with you. And and for
Speaker 1: some reason, I've always felt comfortable being in the water.
Speaker 1: I mean, when I lived in Puerto Rico, I used
Speaker 1: to swim way out sometimes at two o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: way out into this harbor where all these boats were.
Speaker 1: And I wasn't afraid to do that. Never been afraid
Speaker 1: of men. Oh, women I think are scarier than men,
Speaker 1: because you know, a man will get up in your face,
Speaker 1: but a woman will just poison you. That's you know.
Speaker 1: I've had some nightmares, you know. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I was told h less than a week ago, I
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with sleep app you know, so now I
Speaker 1: got to go have a seapat machine. So I've had
Speaker 1: some pretty frightening nightmares. But you know, speaking of speaking
Speaker 1: of like animals, Uh, here's a I gotta ask you
Speaker 1: this trivia question before we go to this break, and
Speaker 1: then when we come back, I have some other interesting stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just riffing here. Okay, what do you
Speaker 1: think are the loudest animals on Earth? I'll think about that,
Speaker 1: don't look it up, don't cheat. What are the loudest
Speaker 1: animals on Earth? And then I have a story for
Speaker 1: you about this This lady, she wrote me a really
Speaker 1: good question. She said, I have a hearted house. Well,
Speaker 1: look stick around. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to
Speaker 1: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 1: Paranormal Podcast Network, and I'll be back after these important messages.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Strange Thing all the iHeart Radio and
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
Speaker 1: Joshua pe Warren, and this is the show where the
Speaker 1: unusual becomes usual. You know, I really want to take
Speaker 1: a moment to sincerely thank all of you who have
Speaker 1: been listening to this show for years and who support
Speaker 1: it in every way you can. You know, you put
Speaker 1: the word out there, you go to the website, you
Speaker 1: buy things because you know ultimately that's why. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes I feel like I can do kind of a
Speaker 1: silly show where I don't have to talk about like
Speaker 1: some super heavy topic because some of you are just like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm along for the ride, and you've always been really
Speaker 1: ends in the ether, and because you know, this is
Speaker 1: entertainment at the end of the day. I'm not a minister,
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor. I'm not a guru. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even have kids. I didn't have kids because
Speaker 1: I was like, I should not be a father, just
Speaker 1: like you don't want I just I don't feel like
Speaker 1: I'm qualified. This is entertainment. And if you if you've been,
Speaker 1: you know, sticking with this show for a long time,
Speaker 1: and you're you're just along for the ride, then you
Speaker 1: know what you're You're the only thing that makes this
Speaker 1: worthwhile for me. So so thank you for doing that.
Speaker 1: And I do have, you know, a supernatural scary experience.
Speaker 1: But all right, what do you think Let's get back
Speaker 1: to the trivia question. The two loudest animals on Earth.
Speaker 1: I could drag this out, but I'm just gonna jump
Speaker 1: right into it. They say the loudest animal on Earth
Speaker 1: is a sperm. Well, and I mean, obviously, well it's
Speaker 1: going to be loud. But then I have to dig
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper. And I thought, well, okay, well,
Speaker 1: what's the loudest animal that's not in the water, And
Speaker 1: my guess with some kind of frog or some kind
Speaker 1: of like a little thing like that. Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Are you ready? It's a Howler monkey. So animals are
Speaker 1: just so bizarre in so many ways, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's always surprising, isn't it. That's why I think that
Speaker 1: if there are aliens flying around here, most of the time,
Speaker 1: they're probably in the oceans instead of out in outer space. Well,
Speaker 1: one of my scariest supernatural experiences, and I won't spend
Speaker 1: too much time on this ironically, just because I've talked
Speaker 1: about it before, is when I went to Myrtle's plantation
Speaker 1: down there, and I guess it was Saint Francisville, Louisiana,
Speaker 1: not too far from Baton Rouge. I was doing a
Speaker 1: television show and I was able to go down there
Speaker 1: a night or two before the crew arrived and stayed
Speaker 1: by myself and this suite called the General David Bradford Suite.
Speaker 1: And then late at night something started rapping on the door.
Speaker 1: And one of the that I'm proud of is that
Speaker 1: you don't just have to listen to my stories and
Speaker 1: think they're bs because I actually have videotaped a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. Let's see here, I'm going right. I think
Speaker 1: it's okay. I'm a YouTube Joshua P. Warren. Alone in
Speaker 1: America's Most Haunted Bedroom. Yep, that brings it up. Alone
Speaker 1: in America's Most Haunted Bedroom. This was published seventeen years ago.
Speaker 1: It has one hundred and sixty seven thousand views. And
Speaker 1: you can see that I was, in my opinion, I
Speaker 1: was communicating with an invisible, conscious, intelligent being when I
Speaker 1: was in this room, and I was the only on
Speaker 1: the property that night, as it turned out. And you
Speaker 1: know what's always perplexed me is it's like, why is
Speaker 1: that scary? Because you would think that, you know, just
Speaker 1: because there's a there's a ghost in your bedroom, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's like a scary thing. But there's something
Speaker 1: I found inherently scary about the idea of sort of
Speaker 1: an invisible person or an invisible intelligence being there. And
Speaker 1: you realize it, I mean you recognize it and you
Speaker 1: acknowledge it, and you go, Okay, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: the only intelligent thing in this room. There's something else
Speaker 1: in here with me that's also intelligent and able to
Speaker 1: interact to some degree, and uh, I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Why is that scary? I guess it's just, you know,
Speaker 1: that fear of the unknown, just that it must just
Speaker 1: be that very general fear of the unknown. And I
Speaker 1: am sure that I've had other paranormal experiences, and like
Speaker 1: it's this is one of those shows where it's like,
Speaker 1: as soon as I'm done recording, I'll be like, oh, crap,
Speaker 1: I forgot to tell this story or that story. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, you know, one time I went to
Speaker 1: this haunted house. It was a haunted farm in South Carolina,
Speaker 1: and I believe something followed me back from that farm.
Speaker 1: And I was sitting in my office about five o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning, and all of a sudden, the door
Speaker 1: to my office just blasted open, and this cold, cold
Speaker 1: air came in. And the craziest thing was that instantly
Speaker 1: I had a boombox and it turned on by itself,
Speaker 1: even though there were no batteries and it wasn't plugged
Speaker 1: into the wall, and the boombox turned on and started
Speaker 1: blaring some kind of insane music. And I looked and
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where it's like with
Speaker 1: my third eye, I was able to see that there
Speaker 1: was some kind of a horrible dark entity in this
Speaker 1: room with me, and I just started cursing at it
Speaker 1: and saying every horrible thing I could say to it
Speaker 1: to try to get it out of there, and that
Speaker 1: worked and then it turned around and it left. So again,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of just riffing with this show,
Speaker 1: but I do believe that, you know, my scariest experiences
Speaker 1: in life have not come from animals, or excuse me,
Speaker 1: not come from ghosts. It's probably been animals because I
Speaker 1: don't know, there's just something so so visceral about an
Speaker 1: animal like eating you. I guess. I mean, that makes sense,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. And when I do this show, I take
Speaker 1: a lot of notes about things that I just want
Speaker 1: to bring up, and you know, sometimes I just have
Speaker 1: an idea for just an interesting topic, because the great
Speaker 1: thing about this show is that it's called Strange Things,
Speaker 1: and that means I can just talk about anything strange,
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't have to necessarily be paranormal stuff.
Speaker 1: And I got an email recently from Vance Pollock and
Speaker 1: he said, are you aware of this phenomenon of anomalies
Speaker 1: in baptism photos? I said, no, I never heard of that,
Speaker 1: I mean, and he sent me. He started sending me
Speaker 1: pictures of people because you know, I look, I was raised,
Speaker 1: you know, Southern Baptist style and all that, and to
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I've never been formally baptized, which
Speaker 1: is kind of odd. I don't know why that is.
Speaker 1: But you know, for a lot of people, when they
Speaker 1: get baptized, it's a big it's a big, huge moment.
Speaker 1: And so apparently there is this whole like field that
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about where when people get baptized,
Speaker 1: they get their picture taken. I guess it's kind of
Speaker 1: like a wedding photo or something like that, you know,
Speaker 1: and then you get some kind of bizarre like orb
Speaker 1: or ray of light or a ghostly figure in the
Speaker 1: background or just like, you know, something crazy like that.
Speaker 1: And so, uh, yeah, I just never even thought about that.
Speaker 1: So I'm tossing this out there. If you uh have
Speaker 1: access to what you think is a legitimate baptism anomaly
Speaker 1: in a in a picture, please, you know, contact me.
Speaker 1: Just go to Joshua P. Warren dot com and you'll
Speaker 1: scroll down you can find my email address there. I'm
Speaker 1: easy to find and I'd like to kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, look at these things and see if there
Speaker 1: are any similarities. Nowadays it's harder than ever to analyze
Speaker 1: weird photos. But anyway, we're coming up on a break
Speaker 1: when you get back. So this this this lady should
Speaker 1: email me and she said, I got this haunted house.
Speaker 1: She says, it's so haunted, and I want to know
Speaker 1: if I just burn this darn thing down and start
Speaker 1: from scratch and build another house, is it still going
Speaker 1: to be haunted? Good question, isn't it. So we'll get
Speaker 1: into that and a lot more when we come back.
Speaker 1: I'm Joshua pe One. You're listening to Strange Things on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
Speaker 1: and I will be right back. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Final setment. I have this edition of Strange Things on
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 1: I am your host, Joshua Plurren. I just thought of
Speaker 1: another scary thing. When I was a teenager, one time,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and I went to an amusement park and
Speaker 1: we were on one of those rides that kind of
Speaker 1: looks like a big pirate ship that swings back and forth,
Speaker 1: and for some reason, right when it got to the
Speaker 1: upside down position, it stopped. I don't know how it
Speaker 1: defied gravity. So I got to hang upside down for
Speaker 1: a long time. I mean, it may have been as
Speaker 1: long as thirty minutes, to the point where like grease
Speaker 1: and oil and everything was running down out of this ride,
Speaker 1: all over our clothes. I don't want to say where
Speaker 1: that happened, because I mean, I trust me, I remember it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't want to get like a
Speaker 1: lawsuit for saying something about somebody. But I mean afterward though,
Speaker 1: I mean, when they finally got us down, we of
Speaker 1: course went to the office and they apologized and they
Speaker 1: wrote us a check. It was not that much, though,
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a few hundred dollars
Speaker 1: and gave us new clothes and everything. And so if
Speaker 1: they happened to me today, I'd be on the phone
Speaker 1: with my lawyer so fast. I would not have signed
Speaker 1: the settlement. But anyway, Hey, you know I talked about
Speaker 1: this raccoon that jumped out of this dumpster in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Here's a good question for you. Do you think that
Speaker 1: raccoons are more related to dogs or cats? I'll think
Speaker 1: about it for a second. Is a raccoon more related
Speaker 1: to a dog or a cat? Well, it turns out
Speaker 1: that according to scientists, they are more related to dogs.
Speaker 1: Of course they're not. They're not dogs or cats. Raccoons
Speaker 1: are part of this family. Oh boy, it's one of
Speaker 1: those words tros preside, which includes ring taels. And anyway,
Speaker 1: they're more closely related to bears and weasels odd creatures. Huh.
Speaker 1: How about this now that we're talking about trivia? Uh,
Speaker 1: how do you spell potato? Remember dan Quell? He was
Speaker 1: struggling with it. Try to spell potato right now. See
Speaker 1: if you can figure it out. Well, it's spelled p
Speaker 1: T A T O and there's no e on the end.
Speaker 1: And do you think a potato is a vegetable or
Speaker 1: something different? Well, the answer is yes, it is a vegetable.
Speaker 1: It's a starchy, tuberous vegetable native to the Americas. You see,
Speaker 1: this is what I do for fun all day. I
Speaker 1: just sit around and look up ridiculous stuff like this.
Speaker 1: I got an email from this woman and she said,
Speaker 1: I have a haunted house. And she said, if if
Speaker 1: I tear this thing down and rebuild it will the
Speaker 1: new house also be haunted, and so, you know what,
Speaker 1: you'd think that that would be a head scratcher, but
Speaker 1: for me, it really wasn't much of one, because I said,
Speaker 1: I believe that it will still be haunted, because I
Speaker 1: think that hauntings are recordings most often than not, not always,
Speaker 1: but most often than not, hauntings are recordings within a
Speaker 1: block or a chunk of space time. So once a
Speaker 1: particular section of space time becomes haunted, then it's going
Speaker 1: to be haunted. I don't you know, forever is a
Speaker 1: big word. I don't want to say forever, but for
Speaker 1: a long long time until perhaps that energy wears down,
Speaker 1: which could take hundreds or thousands of years. And then
Speaker 1: of course she had follow up follow up questions and
Speaker 1: about details, and I said, well, I recommend that you
Speaker 1: contact my friend Angela Moore if you because like I
Speaker 1: just deal with my version of scientific answers. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to try to interpret things. Let's see
Speaker 1: what's Angela Moore's website, Angela Fey Moore. Uh looks like
Speaker 1: it's just uh, well, there you go. It looks like
Speaker 1: that's it. Angela fey f A y E m O
Speaker 1: O r E Angela Faymore dot com. I would if
Speaker 1: you if you want to know, you know, something more specific,
Speaker 1: I recommend that you contact her. And then this guy
Speaker 1: emailed me. Let's see, his name is John, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know I get I get hundreds of emails per day,
Speaker 1: and it's impossible for me to answer everyone, but I
Speaker 1: do my best to read everyone. And this guy named John,
Speaker 1: he said, uh, he was he was listening to what
Speaker 1: I said about opening the portal here next area fifty one,
Speaker 1: and he said, uh, I'm getting that your open portal
Speaker 1: may allow some particularly particularly nasty things to emerge through it.
Speaker 1: What safety countermeasures are you using to keep this from happening? Okay,
Speaker 1: So I've been talking about this for years now, and
Speaker 1: so I just said, John, just go listen to this,
Speaker 1: and I sent him a link to one of my shows.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't good enough for him. So then he
Speaker 1: wrote me back and he said, well, what I meant
Speaker 1: to say is do you have a means of dealing
Speaker 1: with whatever might come through? And then he wrote a
Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff, a bunch of other stuff. You know.
Speaker 1: I was going to read it, but I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna read this. So basically, here's the
Speaker 1: point that I guess I'm making here. I've been doing
Speaker 1: this podcast for years, and if you are new to
Speaker 1: the program, if you're a little late to the dance,
Speaker 1: and you send me an email and you want me
Speaker 1: to catch you up on everything, that's not part of
Speaker 1: my job. So you have to go back and listen
Speaker 1: to the previous shows if you want to understand what's
Speaker 1: going on here. But in short, to answer his question is,
Speaker 1: for one thing, it's already happened, and nothing bad came through,
Speaker 1: even though I do have a cold. It was that
Speaker 1: darned portal. That portal gave me a cold. It's probably
Speaker 1: hanging out with Forrest Connor International Flight perser. And then
Speaker 1: also another thing is it's like it has a kill
Speaker 1: switch on it. I mean it was designed so that
Speaker 1: I could turn it off immediately if something if I
Speaker 1: thought that something bad was coming through, I could turn
Speaker 1: it off. Now that you know, that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: in a split second, you know, some horrific demonic force
Speaker 1: might not be able to come through before I'm able
Speaker 1: to do it. But yeah, as far as I can tell,
Speaker 1: very very positive things happened from doing the experiment. With
Speaker 1: the portal. I'm just worn out because I'm tired. It's
Speaker 1: not you might not realize it, but it's not easy
Speaker 1: to open a portal. It's not easy to go into Rachel,
Speaker 1: Nevada in the middle of the desert and buy land
Speaker 1: and open a portal. So but don't worry. Everything has
Speaker 1: worked out just fine. So yeah, it's been kind of
Speaker 1: a like I said, I've just been riffing for this podcast.
Speaker 1: But you know a lot of times people like that,
Speaker 1: so maybe you've had a good time. But believe it
Speaker 1: or not, the clock has got ess. So I tell
Speaker 1: you what we're gonna We're gonna end the show as
Speaker 1: we usually do, with the one, the only, the original
Speaker 1: good Fortune tone. And you know what, if you have
Speaker 1: a glass of water or something like that, you might
Speaker 1: want to put it near the speaker to absorb this.
Speaker 1: But regardless, and and and then you know you drink
Speaker 1: it afterward. You should know the routine. But anyway, here
Speaker 1: it is the good Fortune Tom. That's it for this
