Speaker 1: What's that at the foot of my bed. It's smoky
Speaker 1: and kooky. I'm really sure it's dead. It's coming this way.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, help, I go, said Hi, ros dressed
Speaker 1: fans Helse, Hey boo, Roz dress BLESI. How's your week?
Speaker 1: You have a good one. I'm so happy that we
Speaker 1: had Bill Phillips in here are Psychic last week. He
Speaker 1: answered some questions for me, and but then of course
Speaker 1: as soon as he leaves, I'm like, God, I have
Speaker 1: a thousand more questions I need to ask him. But
Speaker 1: that was really fun and great, and you know, I
Speaker 1: had I had a great week this week. And I
Speaker 1: did get to meet quite a few listeners of Ghosted
Speaker 1: this past week. And thank you guys so much for
Speaker 1: coming to my sh shows. I'm so happy to meet
Speaker 1: you guys. And I always appreciate anybody sending me dms
Speaker 1: just to say hey, like the show. I'm so happy
Speaker 1: to know that you guys aren't ghosts and you're real
Speaker 1: and you're there. And I had a really nice time
Speaker 1: at Ross Matthews' Dragtastic Bubbly Brunch I hosted on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I'll be back there in July and I hope to
Speaker 1: see more of you there, and yeah, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: I was sitting in my home last night and I
Speaker 1: was looking around at all of my drag paraphernalia, which
Speaker 1: is almost all thrift store clothing, and it started making
Speaker 1: me think again about something that I talked to Meg
Speaker 1: malloy in one of our previous episodes about, which is
Speaker 1: spirits being attached to thrift store fines or antiques or
Speaker 1: any kind of item that once belonged to somebody or
Speaker 1: something else. And go back to the first episode where
Speaker 1: I talk about the Ouiji board that I had, which
Speaker 1: was a whole nother story, which luckily, I don't think
Speaker 1: any of my drag has any demons or spirits attached
Speaker 1: to it, unless unless it's on me, honey. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about how on eBay people post, you know,
Speaker 1: they're selling haunted items and dolls, and I think that
Speaker 1: that is the ethical thing to do, is tell people
Speaker 1: this is haunted. And I know that there's a whole
Speaker 1: audience of people that want to actually buy haunted items,
Speaker 1: and there's museums that actually specialize in haunted items. I
Speaker 1: know the late Lorraine and Ed Warren, they have their
Speaker 1: place on the East Coast and Zach Baggins has his
Speaker 1: place in Las Vegas that's a museum for haunted items.
Speaker 1: So I spent I'm eaven, can you two hours last
Speaker 1: night on eBay just reading all of these haunted items.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because there's some there's some sellers that
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure or it's their whole business is selling
Speaker 1: these items, and they come up with the whole back story,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you can trust it. I
Speaker 1: will say I did notice that a lot of them
Speaker 1: almost I actually pretty much all of them say something
Speaker 1: like we are required to only sell tangible items, and
Speaker 1: there's we cannot promise that a spirit is attached to it.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's a whole rule with eBay is
Speaker 1: that you can't you can't be selling spirits. But you know,
Speaker 1: I found all these that are dolls. I got really
Speaker 1: obsessed with the dolls especially, and I'll read one for you.
Speaker 1: This one. This one sounds like she's got a spirit
Speaker 1: that I would not. I mean, she sounds like a
Speaker 1: fun ghost to be honest. And her name is Brijitete.
Speaker 1: And I'll post I'll post all these in the face
Speaker 1: so you can check them out. If they're still available.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but this is Brigitte, and she's got
Speaker 1: oh honey, she's wearing like a kelly green ruffle, all
Speaker 1: the ruffles you can imagine on this dress. She's even
Speaker 1: got a ruffel hat. She looks like she just got
Speaker 1: a blowout. She's got a gorgeous blonde wig on honey,
Speaker 1: She's got green eyes and a top and bottom lash
Speaker 1: with a total be stung lip. And let's read about Brigitte.
Speaker 1: This enchanted vessel contains the attached spirit of a twenty
Speaker 1: one year old woman named Brigitte. Brigitte is from San Francisco, California,
Speaker 1: and passed away in the nineteen twenties when she was
Speaker 1: accidentally shot at a nightclub that she was working at
Speaker 1: during a heist. Brigitte was a working girl. She had
Speaker 1: her parents. She lost her parents when she was only
Speaker 1: thirteen and began working at as a showgirl at a
Speaker 1: very young age. Brigitte was hardworking and very independent and
Speaker 1: had a lot of sex and quite away with men.
Speaker 1: She was very dominant and a sensual woman. She had
Speaker 1: worked hard her whole life only to have it taken away.
Speaker 1: So briefly, she tells me She's a lot happier now.
Speaker 1: She says she has let go of the past and
Speaker 1: is ready to start enjoying the finer things in life.
Speaker 1: Brigitte's passion in life was singing and dancing and being
Speaker 1: the absolute best performer she could be. She has been
Speaker 1: quite wonderful to have here in my home. She's a
Speaker 1: very positive spirit to have around. She emanates feelings of
Speaker 1: positivity and euphoric enlightenment. Enlightenment Brigitte can give you very
Speaker 1: vivid visions as well as communicate with you through dreams.
Speaker 1: Brigitte loves ragtime and swing music. She likes being taken
Speaker 1: out on outdoor adventures, especially in nature. She enjoys hikes
Speaker 1: with a passion. This really sounds like a dating profile.
Speaker 1: Brigitte feels very peaceful and happy when she is in
Speaker 1: the forest surrounded by nature. Brigitte loves plants and flowers
Speaker 1: and loves being gifts. Loves being gifted plants and flowers
Speaker 1: as offerings. I've noticed that offerings keep her spirit very active,
Speaker 1: and it goes on and on and on. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you want Brigitte to move into your home and
Speaker 1: listen to ragtime and swing music, She's a performer that's
Speaker 1: always working on her crap. You know what. Actually I
Speaker 1: could use a sidekick the Ras and Brigitte show. That
Speaker 1: would be cute. I also found this one that sounds legit.
Speaker 1: It's terrifying, this doll. There's photos of it. It looks
Speaker 1: very chucky like, it looks like a doll that saw
Speaker 1: Chucky and was like, that's the look, and I want
Speaker 1: to be Chucky. And it's sort of very much like
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like the late nineties, everyone saw
Speaker 1: Rachel on Friends and they were like, I want that hair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what this doll did. She she saw Chuck. She said,
Speaker 1: I want that short, red, spooky hair. I want a
Speaker 1: horizontal stripe hoodie, which is what it's wearing. And it
Speaker 1: has a hole in its head, so that helps. So
Speaker 1: let's read about this doll. Haunted vintage doll. I collect
Speaker 1: vintage toys. So when I saw this doll at a
Speaker 1: thrip store about six months ago, I decided to take
Speaker 1: him home. He was naked and his hair was a mess.
Speaker 1: Ben there and I dressed him and fix up his
Speaker 1: hair a bit. He's a vintage nineteen seventy two growing
Speaker 1: hair e a doll. His hair grows, growing hair Chrissy doll,
Speaker 1: but the piece of hair that grows is missing and
Speaker 1: there is just a hole where it used to be.
Speaker 1: So I thought he looked like a boy. Anyway. I
Speaker 1: put him in the room with my other collectible toys
Speaker 1: and forgot about him. About two weeks later, my daughter
Speaker 1: asked if she could play with him. I said fine,
Speaker 1: and she brought him into her room. At night, I
Speaker 1: heard one of her electronic toys going off, so I
Speaker 1: went to go turn it off. As soon as I
Speaker 1: walked out of the room, it went back on again.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to make I didn't want to wake her,
Speaker 1: so I took it out of the room and that
Speaker 1: was that. The next day, I'm calling the dog and
Speaker 1: she's not coming. I go into my daughter's room and
Speaker 1: the dog is lying there with her head on the
Speaker 1: doll's lap. I thought it was strange, and I brought
Speaker 1: the doll into the living room. Wow, every time the
Speaker 1: dog has access to this doll, she lays her head
Speaker 1: on the lap and will stay that way for up
Speaker 1: to an hour or so, and says, see the picture.
Speaker 1: There literally is a photo of the dog with its
Speaker 1: head on this chucky looking doll's lap, So the doll
Speaker 1: has been on a dresser in my room. I have
Speaker 1: lived in this house for over eight years and nothing
Speaker 1: strange has happened until I brought this doll home. The
Speaker 1: shower will turn off by its almost every time I'm
Speaker 1: in there, lights will turn on, doors will close, and
Speaker 1: one night my husband thought my daughter was up running
Speaker 1: around because he heard laughing and footsteps. Very chucky. When
Speaker 1: he checked, she was sound asleep. Electronic toys will go
Speaker 1: on for no apparent reason, just strange things. I thought
Speaker 1: about donating the doll, but it seems harmless and more
Speaker 1: people and more playful than anything. So I figured someone
Speaker 1: can appreciate this type of thing that may want them,
Speaker 1: So yeah, listen if you guys want them. Well for so,
Speaker 1: I have bought hundreds of vintage items and this is
Speaker 1: the only time anything like this has happened. Just too
Speaker 1: strange for me. I can't guarantee you will have the
Speaker 1: same experience, but something is definitely wrong with this doll
Speaker 1: and I just want it out of my house now.
Speaker 1: Refunds So if you want this haunted doll, it is
Speaker 1: currently a one dollar bit, but eighteen dollars shipping Okay,
Speaker 1: one more that I found that. This one, Okay, this
Speaker 1: sounds almost like our Billy Lee episode. This doll she's
Speaker 1: got some kind of floral dress on with. I can
Speaker 1: tell that this wig she's wearing is synthetic just by
Speaker 1: looking at it. But let's read about this one. Okay,
Speaker 1: This one made me love. Okay. Mercy is her name.
Speaker 1: She died in nineteen sixty eight at the age of
Speaker 1: twenty two. She was attending college at the University of
Speaker 1: Texas and enjoyed engaging in free love, if you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. She was hoping to move to California
Speaker 1: so she could protest the war and join the hippie movement,
Speaker 1: but her life was cut short in a car accident.
Speaker 1: All that said, physically, she's very beautiful now. Ps, they're
Speaker 1: talking about the spirit that is attached to this doll,
Speaker 1: not the actual doll itself. The doll is just a vessel,
Speaker 1: so physically the spirit is very beautiful. Her hair is
Speaker 1: dark red and she has a dark red bush to match. Okay,
Speaker 1: she isn't shy and will appear naked in your dreams.
Speaker 1: She is bisexual, so she won't mind entering male and
Speaker 1: female dreams. She will also do things like bang on
Speaker 1: walls and windows, open cabinets, and move objects. She is
Speaker 1: most active when people are feeling sensual and in the
Speaker 1: mood for love. Room for one more. It's me, Mercy,
Speaker 1: you sitting here with my red hair carpet matches the drapes.
Speaker 1: So she's up for sale too if you want her. Guys,
Speaker 1: the reason I was thinking about talking about haunted objects
Speaker 1: is because my guest today had an experience with a
Speaker 1: demon or spirit that kind of lurched onto him, that
Speaker 1: was attached to an item. And my guest today is
Speaker 1: someone that I love so much and I'm I'm so
Speaker 1: lucky to have him as a friend. And he is
Speaker 1: a director and writer responsible for incredible movies. You should
Speaker 1: check out his movie GBF, which is such a sweet
Speaker 1: gay coming of age comedy. It's great GBF Gay Best Friend.
Speaker 1: And he's also very well known for his movie Jawbreaker,
Speaker 1: which is cult classic peak late nineties. Rose McGowan, Oh, honey,
Speaker 1: check it out if you've never seen that movie. And
Speaker 1: let's hear a little bit from my friend Darren Stein.
Speaker 1: Darren Ruz. The last time I saw you, we were
Speaker 1: on stage and I was interviewing you about Jawbreaker.
Speaker 2: That's right, me and Jade Greer.
Speaker 1: Yes, for the twenty fifth anniversary, twentieth, twentieth yeah, sorry, twentieth, yeah, twentieth,
Speaker 1: that's right. Oh my god. I went when I was
Speaker 1: asked to do that by the group Elcine. Shout out

Speaker 1: When they asked me, they were like, oh, we're going
Speaker 1: to screen jow Breaker. I'm like, love it. And then
Speaker 1: they were like the director, Darren is going to be
Speaker 1: there and I was like, Darren, my Darren, and they say,
Speaker 1: you know Darren. I said, yeah, I'm an interesting, talented
Speaker 1: drag queen in Los Angeles. We all know Darren.
Speaker 2: I love my drag queens both, I do.
Speaker 1: I love both the most talentedg just kidding, death kidding. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you are a big drag fan.
Speaker 2: I do love drag queens. I think it all started
Speaker 2: with Rocky Hard Picture show that makes sense, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it was off to the races. Yeah, and you're
Speaker 2: I've been known to get in a frock now and
Speaker 2: again too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember one time at your house.
Speaker 2: You you're staying home, like it used to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you I remember you having like some gorgeous purple
Speaker 1: wig h on.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's still in my drawer.
Speaker 1: I never know, you know now you never know when
Speaker 1: you need it. Yeah, I feel like everyone has to
Speaker 1: have at least one wig drawer, for sure.
Speaker 2: I tried on lots of wigs. I love her.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're like the the the queen of
Speaker 1: the of the fun Los Angeles Queens.
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like you're a lad. I do love
Speaker 2: to you know, snap some rings in the shape you know,
Speaker 2: like Lord of the Rings girl, Lord of the Queens.
Speaker 1: A lot of the queens.
Speaker 2: But wait, hold up.
Speaker 1: I also another thing I know about you is that
Speaker 1: you were possessed by a demon. No question mark maybe no.
Speaker 2: My god, a demon. It wasn't a full possession, but
Speaker 2: I mean I think you think I was followed home?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the demon was like you know what, I have
Speaker 1: a feeling that that miss Darmon over here has some
Speaker 1: cute parties at her house. I want to come with
Speaker 1: it was it was scurry, Okay, what happened? Because we
Speaker 1: need to talk about this. I was at your house
Speaker 1: like a couple months ago or something, and I asked
Speaker 1: you where's talking about ghost? And then you said, well,
Speaker 1: I have a demon story.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I don't want to call it a demon.
Speaker 2: I mean a demon is a very strong word.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: But because how's a goat? How's a ghost different than
Speaker 2: a demon?
Speaker 1: Well, a demon was never a human.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well I'm not sure what this was exactly, but
Speaker 2: I'll get into it. I had a friend who moved
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles and I wanted to show him around.
Speaker 2: He loves horror, you know, so I took him to
Speaker 2: Magnolia Boulevard because there's so many cool.
Speaker 1: Horror shops in North Hollywood.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, there's like antique stores and dark delicacies and
Speaker 2: Halloween Town and Creature Feature ps.
Speaker 1: Anyone listening that has that is like, if you're a
Speaker 1: fan of this show, the place you're gonna want to
Speaker 1: hang out is Magnolia.
Speaker 2: Magnolia is where it's happening. It's all happening. I know,
Speaker 2: if you're if you're if you're into the goth, into
Speaker 2: the dark.
Speaker 1: My first address ten years ago when Los Angeles was
Speaker 1: a Magnolia fabulous.
Speaker 2: And this is the Paul Thomas Anderson section. Is the
Speaker 2: pornography section, which is further up, you know, for their west.
Speaker 2: There's a pornography, you know, I mean, you know pt
Speaker 2: anders stand this from the valley and he made Boogie
Speaker 2: Knights and film Magnolia. Anyway, this section that Magnolia is
Speaker 2: more about horror. And I had a new friend who
Speaker 2: moved here, and I was like, Drenna, let Magnolia and
Speaker 2: we walked up and down it and we found this
Speaker 2: antique store in this little house and sort of went
Speaker 2: inside and they had some kids chi kind of fun
Speaker 2: board games, what have you in the front, some of
Speaker 2: Ouiji boards, you know, this and that, some dolls. But
Speaker 2: as you ventured deeper into the store, it sort of
Speaker 2: got a little creepy, like there were little rooms everywhere,
Speaker 2: and each room some rooms had like a like an
Speaker 2: antique crib that was on display, like an aplexiglass. It
Speaker 2: was very Annabelle.
Speaker 1: Did I have a backstory?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wrote some texts about where the crib came from,
Speaker 2: or there were dolls and where the doll came from.
Speaker 2: And it was just super I got a really bad,
Speaker 2: kind of a bad energy in the back and some
Speaker 2: of the rooms and kind of wanted to get out
Speaker 2: because I'm very viby with that stuff and I don't
Speaker 2: like being around it. So I was like, Okay, well
Speaker 2: let's let's go. And we left, and my friend was
Speaker 2: away into it, you know, because he loves horror and
Speaker 2: I love horror. I like the I like fiction horror,
Speaker 2: I don't like real life.
Speaker 1: Same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I say, exactly. So we walk out
Speaker 2: of there and he goes, wait, so do you get
Speaker 2: easily scared? But that's stuff? And I was like, never,
Speaker 2: I never get scared. And I had this really massive reaction.
Speaker 2: I got kind of overreacted in a way that was
Speaker 2: unusual for me, Like I don't know why I had
Speaker 2: to come on so kind of douchey in that moment.
Speaker 2: And then I realized it was because I was scared
Speaker 2: and I was some part of me it was. It
Speaker 2: was like a defense mechanism. I was over, you know.
Speaker 2: So I get home and it's dark now, by the way,
Speaker 2: just set the mood, and I pull into my carb hort,
Speaker 2: open the door, and as soon as I entered my house,
Speaker 2: I get full body chills, like goose flash top to
Speaker 2: bottom and I'm and my heart, my heart started racing,
Speaker 2: and it was like something was in the house, you know,
Speaker 2: and I felt, and I was like something and then
Speaker 2: in my I was something must have followed me back
Speaker 2: from that store, because I was like, oh fuck, no,
Speaker 2: I never get scared of this kind of stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and probably whatever it was back there was like, oh,
Speaker 2: we'll show you, you know, we'll you think you're not scared,
Speaker 2: let's show you scary. So that was And by the way,
Speaker 2: this might have all been in my head because I
Speaker 2: do have a very active imagination.
Speaker 1: But I'm on your side, that's what I would think. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But but then so I go, Okay, I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: watch TV because I can't entertain this sphere, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm just to turn the TV on. That usually sort
Speaker 2: of obliterates that kind of energy, right, So I put
Speaker 2: the TV on and then like the dogs, but I'm
Speaker 2: still feeling like goose flesh crawling over me and it's
Speaker 2: still in the house, you know, it's not helping the TV, right,
Speaker 2: And the dogs sort of hop off the couch and
Speaker 2: go trot over to the doorway and start barking at
Speaker 2: something in the other room. Now, yeah, I'm like, oh fuck,
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't even now, I can't relax my
Speaker 2: nice getting really you know, uh, tampered with. And then
Speaker 2: that night I get I got into bed, and I'm
Speaker 2: still having the paltations and goops goose flesh, and I
Speaker 2: finally fell asleep, you know, And during the day I
Speaker 2: was pretty okay. It was usually at night.
Speaker 1: So this kept happening.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this one on for I would say about
Speaker 2: a month.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on and off for a month at night, these
Speaker 2: these this goose bumps, this the dogs sentencing a presence.
Speaker 1: Did you feel like there was somebody else there?
Speaker 2: I kind of did. I just felt like there was
Speaker 2: like cold spots and the dogs were on edge, and
Speaker 2: I would be covered in goose goose bumps and couldn't sleep.
Speaker 2: And it got to the point where like during the
Speaker 2: day I would have kind of like heart palpitations, like
Speaker 2: my heart. I would be in my car and my
Speaker 2: heart would just start kind of beating fast in my chest.
Speaker 2: And I got really kind of unnerved by the whole thing.
Speaker 2: And I decided to, you know, consult. I didn't go
Speaker 2: to a preseturs like perhaps I should have, right, No,
Speaker 2: I went to a the doctor. I think I'm your
Speaker 2: heart issues.
Speaker 1: They don't have like a demon that's not on the
Speaker 1: blood tests or anything.
Speaker 2: And I wish that would be great, Like, okay, that's
Speaker 2: full on demon yep. So I went to the doctor
Speaker 2: because I said, you know, I think I'm having some
Speaker 2: heart issues. So I told my best friend, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm I think these heart palpitations. And she's like, how long.
Speaker 2: I'm like a few weeks. She's like, go to the doctor.
Speaker 2: Because I'm the one who like rushes to the doctor
Speaker 2: over things like I you know, I'm very sort of
Speaker 2: I'm not alarmist, you.
Speaker 1: Know, but you know what ps, that's just a completely
Speaker 1: separate thing that I should say though, is that men
Speaker 1: tend to be that way. So they just they don't
Speaker 1: want to go to the doctor.
Speaker 2: And we think we're so important impenetrable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so listeners, go to the doctor.
Speaker 2: Go to the doctor just because your.
Speaker 1: Body's not lying to you, yeah, or or go to
Speaker 1: the priest if you need it. So what did the doctor?
Speaker 2: He's like he had me. It was very extorousist to
Speaker 2: the heretic.
Speaker 1: I love that movie. You know.
Speaker 2: They attached to all those little like yeah, they did
Speaker 2: that to my body and everything and had me like
Speaker 2: run on the treadmill stop. Oh yeah. It was full
Speaker 2: on heart tests and he's like, you're possessed. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: No, he's girl. I would have to have a demon
Speaker 1: to get my ass on a treadmill. That's what it
Speaker 1: would take. Oh my lord.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh no, your heart's perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: So when did it go away?
Speaker 2: It just went away. I think it kind of went
Speaker 2: away gradually after that. It didn't. It's sort of just
Speaker 2: I think it proved that the presence proved its point,
Speaker 2: which was, you know, don't ever say that you're not
Speaker 2: scared of us, and don't ever try to like act
Speaker 2: like we don't exist. Because it happened when I made
Speaker 2: that comment a it was out of character for me.
Speaker 2: It was right outside the store.
Speaker 1: Did you ever think about going back to the store.
Speaker 2: No, I don't like that kind of stuff. It's great
Speaker 2: in the movie. You can talk to anyone that I
Speaker 2: know and they'll tell you like, I'm not into the devil.
Speaker 2: Like I remember seeing the Extressist, I'm a Jew. I'm
Speaker 2: still the extressist fucked me up as a kid. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I was at a friend's house and I was like, oh, fuck,
Speaker 2: you know, I can't deal with this devil. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: we don't learn, we don't we don't get deep into
Speaker 2: the devil in the Jewish faith like in Hebrew School, yes,
Speaker 2: used to. It was real to me watching that movie.
Speaker 1: So you think it was a crib or a doll.
Speaker 2: There was something back there. They had a collection of
Speaker 2: objects was very Annabelle like a lot of like things
Speaker 2: that were so haunted. They were in the back at
Speaker 2: They're very, very very back of this place, in their
Speaker 2: own rooms, in plexiglass, behind cages, what have you. You know,
Speaker 2: they were back there, and actually some of it wasn't
Speaker 2: Actually maybe the plexiglass was just my my my memory
Speaker 2: of the latest Annimel movie. I think these things were
Speaker 2: just sort of out and about on display, and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh boy, and so it's funny sause. I
Speaker 2: was back on Magnolia, you know, several months later with
Speaker 2: my nephew, My nephews, like you know, he was seven
Speaker 2: or seven at the time. He's very brave. He plays hockey,
Speaker 2: you know, hetero in the making, and you know, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to turn him a goth. I have I have
Speaker 2: my on Magnolia Boulevard, Like that's good a Halloween town.
Speaker 2: Don't you want that clown? Come on? Anyway, I was
Speaker 2: like oh see that store across the street that he's like, yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, if lives there. I went in there
Speaker 2: and evil spirit followed me home and I won't go
Speaker 2: in there again. And he's like, well, I'll go in there.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh no, no, no, don't go on, please, don't
Speaker 2: go in.
Speaker 1: I go.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to sit parent. I don't want
Speaker 2: you know you're out with uncle Darreen. I don't want
Speaker 2: you know, me losing you inside that inside of that house,
Speaker 2: that store, you might not come out. So of course,
Speaker 2: my I do have that side of me that kind
Speaker 2: of likes to play pranks and stuff. And he's like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go in. I'm like, okay, but if you
Speaker 2: don't come out, it's not my fall, and like don't
Speaker 2: tell your dad and blah blah blah. And he so
Speaker 2: like he went in and to prove that I was wrong,
Speaker 2: and I was like, well, don't go to the back,
Speaker 2: don't go all the way into the back, just stay
Speaker 2: in the front. And of course he walked right to
Speaker 2: the back and then walked right out and goes, see,
Speaker 2: I'm fine, I'm still alive.
Speaker 1: Oh I wish I had an ounce of that isn't
Speaker 1: that cool? I can't. This is so funny that you
Speaker 1: were talking about because I didn't realize your story was
Speaker 1: about this kind of a thing because I'm kind of
Speaker 1: obsessed with thrifting and you know the history of things.
Speaker 1: We've had people on the show talk about how, you know,
Speaker 1: so many items have attached you know, some kind of
Speaker 1: entity or I guess human spirit attached to them. And
Speaker 1: I'm the thrifting queen. Honey, everything I own is from
Speaker 1: a thrill story.
Speaker 2: Honey. All that shit has you know, connections.
Speaker 1: Has a history. Who knows where it came from.
Speaker 2: I used to go to Rose Bowl, Santa Monica, Long
Speaker 2: Beach flea Market. I love all that stuff. And certain
Speaker 2: things do have you know, ghosts with them.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you should listen to the very first preview
Speaker 1: episode of the show where I talk about the Oueji
Speaker 1: board I bought at a goodwill.
Speaker 2: I won't go near one.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll learned my lasson. But that's so funny. Actually,
Speaker 1: I spent last night looking up doll haunted dolls on
Speaker 1: eBay because I know that that's like totally a thing,
Speaker 1: and people straight up like will put these they'll have
Speaker 1: the whole backstory of who the who the doll was
Speaker 1: and the spirit that's attached to it, and I'll share
Speaker 1: it in the intro of the show. I'll look up
Speaker 1: some and I love the people.
Speaker 2: I love that. No, And I used to, you know,
Speaker 2: the more haunted the better. When I was in my twenties,
Speaker 2: I was drawn to that. I brought home like this
Speaker 2: gypsy you know, face that looked very dark.
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: It was sort of a plastic plaster gypsy sort of
Speaker 2: face with like lipstick on and beautiful earrings. It must
Speaker 2: have been like part of a display or something like
Speaker 2: maybe it was on a you know, read your fortune
Speaker 2: booth or what have you. But it was twenty bucks
Speaker 2: and it was just something I had in my wall.
Speaker 2: And now you know, I'm very cognizant of what I
Speaker 2: have in my house and display it and hanging and stuff.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, even the people you have in there. You
Speaker 1: don't know if somebody's got something.
Speaker 2: Attached to that, Honey Jesus, you know, yeah, sage that place.
Speaker 1: I know, Okay, I also know that you've had some
Speaker 1: other things happen in your family.
Speaker 2: Oh my mom, when she was a little girl, she
Speaker 2: had epilepsy. She had grandma epilepsy, which is a really
Speaker 2: dangerous form. You know. She had to take grand grands
Speaker 2: called grand ma grand mall means big bad in French.
Speaker 2: Literally it could kill you. And she was on pheno
Speaker 2: barbaratol for it, you know. And when she was seven
Speaker 2: or eight, she had such a huge epileptic fit. She
Speaker 2: was pronounced dead for a few minutes and she came back.
Speaker 2: They brought her back to life. But she said to
Speaker 2: me about a few years ago, she goes, Darren, you know,
Speaker 2: I had a psychic tell me that when I died
Speaker 2: as little girl, the soul that I was born with
Speaker 2: left my body in those minutes when I was dead,
Speaker 2: and a walk on came in.
Speaker 1: Stop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what a walk on is is a soul
Speaker 2: that's sort of been just lingering and you know in
Speaker 2: the air, you know, waiting to find a body to
Speaker 2: come hijack onto earth understudy exactly all about here you go.
Speaker 2: So like literally, so she feels and if your soul
Speaker 2: is in pain in this incarnation wants to go and
Speaker 2: to go, it'll go, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 2: then the walk On's like, oh, cool body, I'm coming
Speaker 2: in right. And then it came in so she feels like,
Speaker 2: you know, she had to relearn how to play piano.
Speaker 2: She had to relearn everything she had to because when
Speaker 2: you're when you're young and you have that kind of
Speaker 2: you die and come back, you have to relearn all
Speaker 2: this stuff. But she's very different from her brother and
Speaker 2: sisters because the soul is not who she was meant
Speaker 2: to be at birth.
Speaker 1: That's so crazy.
Speaker 2: So I'm the son of a walk all.
Speaker 1: A walk on. That's your next movie, you know, right,
Speaker 1: that's so interesting. I guess I've never really heard about that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that must be a thing.
Speaker 2: It's creepy, It's fully creepy. Yeah, and she's a Capricorn.
Speaker 2: Capricorn is a pretty witchy to begin with. And she's
Speaker 2: you know, sort of like, you know, she's sort of
Speaker 2: like has another worldly vibe in a cool way. I mean,
Speaker 2: she's out there and it really in a really super
Speaker 2: you know, super interesting way.
Speaker 1: But it makes you wonder, Yeah, because I feel like
Speaker 1: people often think of our physical body as the same
Speaker 1: thing as our soul, and it's it's it's not, it's
Speaker 1: not We're just merely just a meat suit, a meat suit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: bag of meat, bag of meat bag of bones.
Speaker 2: Just you know, turn it to dust.
Speaker 1: But you've always been a big horror guy, right, I have.
Speaker 2: Even as a kid, I was super drawn to uh horror,
Speaker 2: rocky horror, alien kiss. Even my music was horror like
Speaker 2: kiss Alice Cooper, like you know, fangoria. I had a subscription,
Speaker 2: like I just lived for it and my parents. And
Speaker 2: luckily for me, my parents never really you know, like
Speaker 2: judged it. They would let me do my thing or
Speaker 2: to my alien chest burst r T shirt and stuff.
Speaker 1: But when you were a little kid, were you somebody
Speaker 1: that would want to go to like, let's go to
Speaker 1: a spooky place, And.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was super into it. I don't have the
Speaker 2: fears that I have now as an adult. I was
Speaker 2: much more sort of fearless as a kid. Yes, so
Speaker 2: I would be drawn like bloody Mary, bloody Ray, bloody Mary.
Speaker 2: I'd be in the bathroom in the dark, in the mirror,
Speaker 2: saying that I hate that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like tell I was always too afraid
Speaker 1: to do this.
Speaker 2: I go in my closet. You know. I was the
Speaker 2: one who would be like, oh, you guys, let's shot
Speaker 2: off all the lights and scream or let's all let's
Speaker 2: go in my closet. It's haunted, you know, if you
Speaker 2: keep if you go to the back of my closet,
Speaker 2: it is like another world. It's like the Lion the
Speaker 2: Witch in the words.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I would try that and
Speaker 1: they'd go, we're not joining you in the closet. We
Speaker 1: want you to come out of the closet. Honey, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Would you ever see the Bloody Mary?
Speaker 2: I think I might have seen something at some point. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was pretty you know. I also had a very
Speaker 2: active you know, my parents dropped me off at a
Speaker 2: double feature that they didn't fully event They thought it
Speaker 2: was just Close Encounters to the Third kind, but it
Speaker 2: was actually Close Encounters and The Manitou, which is a
Speaker 2: really creepy exorcistrip off, but it's like Native American Indian.
Speaker 2: It's like this woman grows this Native American spirit out
Speaker 2: of the and she gives birtue out of her back.
Speaker 2: Oh and it's the Manitou. Okay, And it's it's a
Speaker 2: really it's really scary. It's like a B movie. But
Speaker 2: as a kid, it really screwed me up and haunted me,
Speaker 2: and I had a very you know, explicit nightmares. I
Speaker 2: also peed in my bed till I was twelve, So
Speaker 2: I think that might have been something about like horror
Speaker 2: and fear.
Speaker 1: Did you why don't you do more horror movies?
Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna be doing. I have two coming out,
Speaker 2: well actually three, what that I'm working on that all
Speaker 2: have elements of horror in them. One well, one is
Speaker 2: very near. I can't talk about that, but that would
Speaker 2: be pretty much pure horror comedy, which is exciting. The
Speaker 2: other one is kind of like a dark comedy, but
Speaker 2: it has a horror It's it's called Kill a boy Band.
Speaker 2: It's basically a Jawbreaker meets Hard Day's Night because fangirls
Speaker 2: who accidentally kill well, they might have accidentally killed a
Speaker 2: member of a boy band and have to get the
Speaker 2: body out of the hotel, and the body goes through
Speaker 2: lots of you know, it's in the pool, a top
Speaker 2: of the roof. It's very macabre.
Speaker 1: You wrote it.
Speaker 2: I adapted if from Hawaii novel Oh cool. Yeah. And
Speaker 2: then the other project is is a dark it's a
Speaker 2: dark story about it. I mean, I mean, I mean
Speaker 2: talking about it's crazy. It's basically a twelve year old
Speaker 2: girl who thinks she's been made pregnant by her imaginary friend.
Speaker 2: So it deals with sort of a spirit, an entity
Speaker 2: that she thinks is present, you know, because imaginary friends
Speaker 2: are what are those? When a kid has one.
Speaker 1: That I know that scares me? Whatever it is anytime
Speaker 1: you're around a child that's like, can we make food
Speaker 1: for Susie? Who's Susie?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So it's about that, and it's of course gets
Speaker 2: into the truly terrifying idea she could have been raved
Speaker 2: but she raped? Was it a teacher, a student?
Speaker 1: Was it the therapist? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And it's it deals in those and so it has
Speaker 2: that definitely has horror elements while not being straight up horror,
Speaker 2: but it's sometimes I mean, things that aren't straight up
Speaker 2: horror are even scarier.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I ghost hunting with a friend and we
Speaker 1: were with some other ghost hunters, and my friend and
Speaker 1: I both decided that we were more scared of the
Speaker 1: people than the ghost. Honey, some of these people.
Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Hey, you do you want to listen to some ghost voice?
Speaker 2: Yes? Please?
Speaker 1: Okay, it is time for EVP or ev plicse. Do
Speaker 1: you know what the EVP is?
Speaker 2: What is it? You?
Speaker 1: An e VP is electronic voice right, that's right, that's right,
Speaker 1: I got you. Yeah. It's when people ghos hunters catch right. Okay, Now,
Speaker 1: all of these e vps the person certainly found something,
Speaker 1: but I want you to guess what the ghost hunter gets.
Speaker 1: They you know, they claim they caught the ghost saying okay,
Speaker 1: I found these on YouTube. This one is from Bob
Speaker 1: and Joan st l m O. I think that's Saint Louis, Missouri.
Speaker 1: This is at the Latham Hospital. Tell me what this
Speaker 1: sounds like to you. I'll play it again. Were they.
Speaker 2: That's hard to hear. It just sounds a little far away.
Speaker 1: A female voice, definitely, you'll play it once more, though
Speaker 1: I have a female voice.
Speaker 2: What do you think it is?
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'll give you some options. Is it a you?
Speaker 2: Okay, Violet?
Speaker 1: It could be you know a fan of Violet Chatski
Speaker 1: the Dragon?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it b you a cute guy? Maybe the ghost
Speaker 1: hunter was cute?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: See he will kill violent. That's a creepy one. Or
Speaker 1: d do you like Robin you know the singer.
Speaker 2: Made Oh yeah, I think I'm gonna go with the Robin.
Speaker 1: No, it's actually a you okay, Violet? Huh, but I
Speaker 1: think that it's he will kill, which sounds creepy.
Speaker 2: Let me hear what's more. Oh, yeah, it's just scary.
Speaker 1: It is scary whatever, I like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's just super creepy. Is that what the
Speaker 2: sounds like? She's in another the world?
Speaker 1: Is that the demon from your home? Is that what
Speaker 1: they would?
Speaker 2: They never articulated any words.
Speaker 1: Are you okay?
Speaker 2: I didn't get any of them that I just got,
Speaker 2: you know, are you okay? I just got my heart being,
Speaker 2: you know, exert exerted pressure on.
Speaker 1: It's dangerous.
Speaker 2: I know it scary.
Speaker 1: I think about all the time people and I've talked
Speaker 1: about on the show before when people just die all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it could be a ghost. You don't know,
Speaker 1: a ghost didn't spook them and they had a heart
Speaker 1: attack or suicide, it could be the ghost like final destination.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when I parked here coming in to
Speaker 2: your studio.
Speaker 1: Would you bring in here kind of dark energy?
Speaker 2: No? The radio, I was. I got out of the
Speaker 2: car and then the radio popped on out of the blue.
Speaker 2: Never does that. I was like, of course I'm going
Speaker 2: to see ros and talk about ghosts.
Speaker 1: Yep, And you just passed there.
Speaker 2: Coming back I know, and Magnolia is I'm about to
Speaker 2: go to Magnoli. It's actually work at a coffee house
Speaker 2: there to do some writing. It was funny cause last
Speaker 2: night you were do things like will you talk about someone?
Speaker 2: And then the next day something you see that come
Speaker 2: in like you conjure them. Like I was at Margaret
Speaker 2: Chow's show last night and talking to some friends about
Speaker 2: Friz of balk As you do, right, yeah, And the
Speaker 2: next day today is her birthday. It's my friend like
Speaker 2: texting me today on Instagram. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: it's a birthday. Isn't that witchy that we were talking
Speaker 2: about her yesterday?
Speaker 1: She has ghost stories. I want to I want to
Speaker 1: get her in here.
Speaker 2: Oh you have to so well, you know she she
Speaker 2: used to own pan Pipes, the Witchcraft store on on Quanga.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize I lived in the Villa Carlado where
Speaker 2: when Fruza lived there during the premiere of The Craft.
Speaker 1: Wait what is the Villa.
Speaker 2: Car It's a building on Franklin and Tamerond, across from
Speaker 2: the Bourgeois Pig.
Speaker 1: Wait. Wait, across some scienceology celebrity center.
Speaker 2: Exactly. Yes, back in the day, the Scienceology Celebrity Center
Speaker 2: was a fancy hotel for really high end people. Villa
Speaker 2: Carlotta was where all the drug drug addicts and prostitutes stayed.
Speaker 2: It was like the low end one. So the Carlotta
Speaker 2: is definitely haunted. I mean they've done I've actually done
Speaker 2: a ghost, a ghost tour of the Carlata ones where
Speaker 2: they brought on those EVPs and tried to measure stock
Speaker 2: ghost activity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you lived in that building.
Speaker 2: Yes, this the nineties when first it was there for
Speaker 2: the premiere of the Craft. Circled the Craft because I
Speaker 2: remember the night she went to the premiere. I was
Speaker 2: like sort of like spying on it.
Speaker 1: You're kidding?
Speaker 2: No, is that wild?
Speaker 1: That is so cool? Nineties it's so nice. And then
Speaker 1: just a couple of years later Jawbreaker.
Speaker 2: I know. But the funny thing about Jawbreaker is that
Speaker 2: people I often hear and I heard it last night
Speaker 2: that movie was scared me as a kid, or that
Speaker 2: I got I was too young when I saw that,
Speaker 2: it fucked me up or whatever. So that ghost to
Speaker 2: show that something like Jawbreaker even can have a horror resonance.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean seeing that big, huge Jawbreaker in her throat, Like,
Speaker 1: that's a lot to take it and even like laughing.
Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious. Ruse McGowan is like, carry she's yeah,
Speaker 1: she's she kind of has like an evilness.
Speaker 2: To her, Oh for sure. Oh they call her Satan
Speaker 2: and Hills. Yeah, Jowbreakers essentially a foul story. He said
Speaker 2: in high school. You know when Violet's making a deal
Speaker 2: with the devil or Fern. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: Well, because when that came out, I was nine years
Speaker 1: of a child. Yeah, I was very young, and I
Speaker 1: remember being obsessed with her because I was obsessed with
Speaker 1: Scream and so I was obsessed with her. And then
Speaker 1: Marilyn Manson as well, and so I mean Marilyn Manson
Speaker 1: was huge for me as a little kid because he
Speaker 1: was the one that everyone was like, that's the devil,
Speaker 1: stay away from him. And I was like, he sounds cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, I got one more for you. This one. This
Speaker 1: one comes from Doctor Freeze zero zero seven on YouTube.
Speaker 1: It is at a location in Raymond, California. Doesn't say
Speaker 1: much about the location, but it was captured. As it
Speaker 1: was captured, there was a white mist that they also caught.
Speaker 1: But guess what this one says it's a little bit
Speaker 1: deep roof of voice. I'll do it one more time.
Speaker 2: That one's really scary, that a little bit more kind
Speaker 2: of like get Out horror. Yes, yeah, it's definitely a demon.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's guess.
Speaker 2: Is it the choices.
Speaker 1: A cheat out? You know, like when you're directing a
Speaker 1: movie and the actors not looking at the camera. Cheat out?
Speaker 1: Could be that. Now this was in Raymond, California? Is
Speaker 1: it be everybody loves Raymond? Is it c get Out?
Speaker 1: Which is already what you guessed. Maybe it was a
Speaker 1: Jordan Peel fan. Yeah, maybe they like.
Speaker 2: That this is where Jordan got the inspiration.
Speaker 1: Or is it d I Killed the Tan dream?
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's get Out. Oh that is not something somewhere you
Speaker 1: want to be well, speaking of get out with what
Speaker 1: I have to now that you're here, I haven't had
Speaker 1: anybody here yet with some demons attached.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: First of all, my heart's palpitating.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. All the darkness and you think
Speaker 2: this is like the scariest, one of the scarier moments
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 1: When did this happen?
Speaker 2: This was about a year ago. Yeah, still fresh two
Speaker 2: years ago. Yeah, and it was scary. It was super scary.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm my heart is palpitating. It has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with this girl.
Speaker 2: And it's black. I love how i'd say package is
Speaker 2: a black? Is that the Halloween packaging? Or is it
Speaker 2: always in a pitch back?
Speaker 1: Welcome to seven eleven?
Speaker 2: That is gothic?
Speaker 1: Wait what were you telling me about? There was a
Speaker 1: bathtub story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at the Villa Carlotta. It's a very old building
Speaker 2: with lots of ghosts, like they should they edited I shot,
Speaker 2: I mean not I Shoty Warhol. Paul Morrisey edited Andy
Speaker 2: Warhol's Frankenstein there. I mean, g stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't know any what is that building now?
Speaker 2: Now it's condos. It's all ready furbished. It's like there's
Speaker 2: a valet. It's fancy. Becka.
Speaker 1: I lived there.
Speaker 2: One bedroom was eight hundred dollars or eight fifty and
Speaker 2: it was beautiful, like high ceilings. It was the same
Speaker 2: architectures the Chateau Marmont. I mean, it's beautiful, but they
Speaker 2: shot like Smashing Pumpkins zero music video in the lobby.
Speaker 2: The lobby was incredible, but lots of ghosts in that place.
Speaker 2: And they said I had heard or I might have
Speaker 2: made up. I don't know if, because once again I
Speaker 2: am a imaginative writer type director or whatever. So like
Speaker 2: I heard that like two lovers, female lovers, lesbians like
Speaker 2: you know, died in my apartment that we were in
Speaker 2: in the Villa Carlata, our apartment two o seven. But
Speaker 2: once again I might have made that up. I was
Speaker 2: in my twenties, you know. We had a good time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but when me and my ex moved out of there,
Speaker 2: we gave it to our friends and an Anthony. It's
Speaker 2: actually Anthony Russo who directed it at Adventures Endgame Cool.
Speaker 2: And Anne was the goth girl and jawbreaker. She's been
Speaker 2: in all my I always give her a part in
Speaker 2: all my movies. She's the one who's like, you got
Speaker 2: a still born, you know, when she sicks her nails.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: So everyone likes to get an apartment in that building
Speaker 2: because it's really hard to get into and it's a beautiful,
Speaker 2: magical building, you know, and all that. So I said
Speaker 2: to Anne, you know, do not whatever you do, don't
Speaker 2: take a bath, you know. I was telling her, you know,
Speaker 2: about the ins and outs of the of the apartment.
Speaker 2: And she's like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, because you know, these two lesbians
Speaker 2: who lived here back in the twenties or thirties killed
Speaker 2: each other in the bathtub, you know, slit the wrists
Speaker 2: and bled to death in the bath and they didn't
Speaker 2: find them, and over the water over flowed into the
Speaker 2: lobby below. Blah blah blah. And I forgot and I
Speaker 2: think I was telling I think it was a joke.
Speaker 2: I was going to tell her I'm in this kidding
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But I forgot to tell her I
Speaker 2: was kidding. And I guess in a few years she
Speaker 2: lived there, she never took a bath. Oh no, And
Speaker 2: she told me that recently. She's like, Darren, you never
Speaker 2: told me, She goes, I never used the bath there,
Speaker 2: because you've said those lesbians kill each other in it.
Speaker 1: But there's a possibility that you didn't make it up.
Speaker 2: You're right. Everything comes from somewhere, you know, in that building. Yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure, I was living there.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm obsessed with that building.
Speaker 2: It's really wild. I mean you could research it online.
Speaker 2: The Villa Carlata. Yeah, it has a storied. You know
Speaker 2: who lived there when I was There also Lisa Marie
Speaker 2: Presley's ex Danny Keo, oh you said dat back. He
Speaker 2: had this very exotic wood carved Indian bed from India
Speaker 2: that I me and my ex boyfriend bought from him.
Speaker 2: Had it was like, you know, six feet off the ground,
Speaker 2: you were you felt like you were a ladin on
Speaker 2: this bed. It was like wood carved bed from India.
Speaker 2: Oh cool, It was like a double. It was not
Speaker 2: like the most comfortable thing, but you felt like you
Speaker 2: were like, you know, in this exotic you know, sort
Speaker 2: of like Arabian nights scenario.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that actually. Note that reminds me of because
Speaker 1: I did all this research last night when I was
Speaker 1: looking up haunted items. Yeah, and tons of people said me,
Speaker 1: this article about this thrift store. Did you buy a
Speaker 1: chance to see this headline? There was a thrif store
Speaker 1: that had haunted furniture and it was a big carved
Speaker 1: in wood bed canopy situation. And it was in North
Speaker 1: Carolina and this couple, this man and this woman bought
Speaker 1: it for one thousand dollars and they reported that they
Speaker 1: kept having continuous nightmares and their dogs, much like your dogs,
Speaker 1: were barking at There was a dresser with it. It
Speaker 1: was a dresser in a bed and the dogs would
Speaker 1: not stop barking. So they returned it and the actual
Speaker 1: thrill store, which is a Christian owned thrift store, they decided,
Speaker 1: the officials of the store or whatever, decided to put
Speaker 1: a warning on it that said, the previous owners have
Speaker 1: reported that this is haunted, so be warned in a
Speaker 1: thousand bucks. So I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: anyone bought it again, but if anyone wants it North Carolina,
Speaker 1: look it up.
Speaker 2: That's very I commend the people who put the sign up.
Speaker 2: That's responsible and really caring. That's a nice well looking
Speaker 2: at after their fellow human being.
Speaker 1: Because somebody in our Facebook group was talking about how
Speaker 1: actually here I would pull it up. It is from Chris.
Speaker 1: He said, my roommate is a lawyer and he told
Speaker 1: me that they reviewed the Amneville horror House and it
Speaker 1: falls under what they call stigmatized property. Oh interesting, So
Speaker 1: he actually put in the Facebook group a whole Wikipedia
Speaker 1: thing about stigmatized property and this is so interesting, says.
Speaker 1: These can include death of an occupant, murder, suicide, and
Speaker 1: belief that the house is haunted. So and wait, what
Speaker 1: are the examples. Yes, the examples would be the Amnieville
Speaker 1: Horror House because of all that. Yeah, so I think
Speaker 1: that it is it is something that yeah, you should
Speaker 1: kind of I get it, you're trying to make the sale,
Speaker 1: but come on, oh yeah you should let people know.
Speaker 2: You really should. I remember writing a book report about
Speaker 2: the Amityville Horror I read that book when I was
Speaker 2: in first grade. I think first, I want to say
Speaker 2: first grade. How old are you in first grade? Like
Speaker 2: six or seven? Yeah, I was a little you know, darkling,
Speaker 2: You're just like me. Yeah, it's weird. I think it's
Speaker 2: just this thing you are. It's like part of your DNA.
Speaker 2: It's what attracts you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like it's an attraction to. That's what
Speaker 1: I was just saying on our friend Michael Barrotti's podcast,
Speaker 1: is that I've always been so attracted to and it
Speaker 1: goes along with drag things that are seem like everyday live,
Speaker 1: but there's just something is it gets it, It gets
Speaker 1: flipped on its head somehow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what that's how I describe horror. Actually, yeah,
