16
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: lot more on this edition of the show. They won't

17
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: let me investigate this. Actually you're going to hear kind

18
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: of a list of stories and places in this particular podcast.

19
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: I got a message the other day from a woman

20
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: asking me if I had ever investigated the creepy La

21
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: Louri mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana. Now, I have had

22
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: a lot of spooky experiences in Louisiana. In fact, you

23
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: possibly heard me talk about the time I spent the

24
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: night by myself at Myrtle's plantation in Saint Francisville, Louisiana,

25
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: and had some intelligent invisible being knocking on the walls

26
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: and the tables and keeping me up all night. Got

27
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: that on video. But anyway, getting back to her particular question,

28
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: I told her that I I have been to the

29
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Llauri mansion and if you don't know what that is,

30
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you in a minute. But I said, I

31
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: have been to the creepy l Loauri mansion, but they

32
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: would not let me in to investigate. And she said,

33
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: what why? Why on earth wouldn't they let you into it? This?

34
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: And I get this reaction from time to time for

35
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: people when I say, yeah, I couldn't get in, They

36
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: can't believe it, They say, well, wi on earth would

37
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: anyone deny access to the great and terrible Joshua Pee

38
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Warren to go in and do it? And I think

39
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: this is a good opportunity to tell you some stories

40
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: about just how much resistance that you get sometimes when

41
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: you're in the paranormal field. If you are the type

42
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: of person who listens to a podcast like this, then

43
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: that means you are open minded and you are intelligent

44
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: enough to understand how interesting these mysterious places are. And

45
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: if you owned a place like that, or managed a

46
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: place that had some amazing phenomenon, you would welcome a

47
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: credible person coming in to study it. But because you're

48
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: that kind of person, it's easy to just expect that

49
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: others would feel the same way, and that is certainly

50
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: not always the case. So let me tell you what

51
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: happened when it comes to the Lo Louri Mansion. First off,

52
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: this is a story that I find kind of difficult

53
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: to talk about. If you a lot of you may

54
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: have heard about this place because it was dramatized in

55
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: the popular show American Horror Story. But this truly was

56
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: a house of horrors, a house of torture and mutilation,

57
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: And in fact, some of the stories are so gruesome

58
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: and disturbing that I honestly do not want to get

59
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: into them on this podcast. But here's the gist of it. Okay,

60
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: this house, it's right near Bourbon Street, so it's in

61
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: the middle of all the action. And it was the

62
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: residence of this woman who lived from seventeen eighty seven

63
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: to eighteen forty nine named Marie Delphine la Lourie. Okay,

64
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: and so I guess she became known as Madame la

65
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Lourie after one of her marriages. And according to Wikipedia,

66
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: it says she was a New Orleans sociolite and serial

67
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: killer who tortured and murdered slaves in her household. And again,

68
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: if you want to to learn more about this, then

69
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: you can just look it up for yourself. But she

70
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: was so horribly torturing slaves, almost to the point of experimentation,

71
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, mutilating them and doing really unspeakable things to

72
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: them that when the people of New Orleans found out

73
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: about this and discovered some of these poor people who

74
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: had been chained up in her house and tied up

75
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: in her house, the house was mobbed and it was

76
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: basically destroyed, and they were going to execute her, but somehow,

77
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: you know, she was connected enough, and she escaped. They

78
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: I think they believed she escaped to France and was

79
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: never brought to justice, and they believed that she died

80
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: there on Let's See at the age of sixty two.

81
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: But it's just just a terrible story. So they're that

82
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: in mind, because in twenty twelve, I was hired by

83
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the Travel Channel and the company that produces the Ghost

84
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: Adventures show to be a regular cast member on a

85
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: TV series called Paranormal Papa Rozzi, And the idea was

86
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: that I would be on every single episode and I

87
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: would be one of a handful of reporters that would

88
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: travel around the United States covering strange topics and especially

89
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: any kind of breaking news about anything weird. You know, ghost, UFOs, cryptids,

90
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but also you know, just unusual stuff

91
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: like some of these explosions that people would experience out

92
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: of the blue in the in their in their their

93
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: neighborhood and all that kind of business. The As a

94
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: matter of fact, one time I went to uh UM,

95
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: I went to Florida and I did a segment off

96
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: the cuff about the Fountain of Youth, and the people

97
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: there didn't want me to cover that, so UM anyway,

98
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: that kind of ties into the topic. But nonetheless, for

99
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: this show UM, I spent months with my friend and

100
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: producer ce Eric Scott traveling all over the United States

101
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: by planes, trains, and automobiles, h and even part of

102
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: the fringe, the outer fringe of Mexico there covering these stories.

103
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: It was a heck of an adventure. There's no way

104
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: I could do that now I don't have the energy

105
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: to do that anymore. But it was a great epic adventure,

106
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: kind of a once in a lifetime experience. And one

107
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: of the places we were assigned to cover a story

108
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: in was New Orleans, and they actually sent us down

109
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: there to do a story about this voodoo priestess. And

110
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: actually I think that one didn't make the cut for

111
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: some reason. But while Eric and I were in New Orleans,

112
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: I realized at one point that we were near the

113
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: La louri Mansion. Okay, this is in in the evening,

114
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: and this is a mansion that it's connected to pop

115
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: culture in a lot of different ways. For a while,

116
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage, the actor, owned this house. So I was

117
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: let's see Eric and I one evening we were walking

118
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: by and I go, that's the La Lourie Mansion. Wouldn't

119
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: that be an risting segment? And of course it was.

120
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: It was all locked up and it looked like, I

121
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: didn't have any way of even trying to figure out,

122
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, who to contact. And I looked up at

123
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: Lo and behold, there is a man standing on a

124
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: balcony up there, holding a drink. And I start shouting

125
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: up there and we start having a friendly conversation and

126
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: he's telling me about the house and everything, and I said, hey,

127
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: this is amazing. You know, I'm here in town filming

128
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: some interesting stories for the Travel Channel. Is it okay

129
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: if I come inside and take a look. And the

130
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: guy says, yeah, sure, that's fine, and then he turned

131
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: and he walks off, And I said to Eric, Wow,

132
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: can you believe this? What an unexpected Jack Pott. You

133
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: know I'm going to get to go into this this

134
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, amazing Lolauri mansion to do this story. And

135
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: then we waited and waited. About five minutes later, the

136
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: guy reappears and now there is a second man with him,

137
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: an older guy, and the older guy just looks down

138
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't say anything. And the first guy I was

139
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: talking to he was wearing a ball cap and he

140
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: kind of looked like a groundskeeper. Sort. I don't know,

141
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: I've just seen enough groundskeepers I kind of know what

142
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: they look like and uh, and he goes, I'm sorry,

143
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't, And I was like, what, you know,

144
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: I was so close, and I try my best to

145
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: convince these guys. You know, I started bribing them, and

146
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how much money I had on me,

147
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: but I was and nothing worked. So I never got

148
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: to go in there. And that was the story at

149
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: that time. They did not want that kind of publicity.

150
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: And I must point out that actually that is not

151
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: even the same structure, because the original structure was torn

152
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: and torn apart and burned down by a mob, so

153
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: this is even a different building. But still, you know,

154
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: it's the same piece of space time there where all

155
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: this happened. And but since then the building has changed hands,

156
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: and I believe that with new owners and new management,

157
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: other people have I'm in and been able to investigate

158
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: that place. But this made me think of like all

159
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: these similar situations that I've had throughout my life in

160
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: which I have been told Nope, you cannot investigate this.

161
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: And you have to realize that over time, though ownership changes,

162
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: management changes, and some people do and some people do

163
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: not want publicity. When we come back from our first break,

164
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about some of these places

165
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: that have had this attitude or change in attitude, like

166
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: the Grove Park in in Asheville, North Carolina, the Reed House,

167
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: and my biggest challenge ever, the White House. I also

168
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: have an interesting story for you about Robert the Haunted Doll.

Speaker 1: Gia Tato Zume, agiatatos Zume, do you feel the magic?

194
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: Guess what a listener of this show heard the episode

195
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: I did about the magical word ajiatatos Zume, and he

196
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: created a private Facebook group just to discuss experiences regarding

197
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: this word and similar topics. And so if you are

198
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: on Facebook and you want to participate, even though it's

199
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320

Speaker 1: there and you know, request to be a part of it,

201
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,280

209
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,360

210
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: show called Paranormal Paparazzi that aired on the Travel Channel

211

Speaker 1: in twenty and twelve. If you want to see some

Speaker 1: watch and if you've never seen that, you might enjoy

219
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: some of it. But you know, I was born and

220
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: raised in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, and one

221
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: of the most prominent places in Asheville is the Grove

222
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: Park In Resort and spa. The Venerable Resort was built

223
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirteen and its history is magnificent. It's the

224
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: kind of place where you know all the celebrities and

225
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: the presidents would stay, you know, when they came into town.

226
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: And while I was growing up, I mean, everybody knew

227
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: that there was this ghost there called the Pink Lady.

228
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: And the story was that she was some young woman

229
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: who'd been staying there, probably in the nineteen twenties, and

230
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: wearing a long pink evening gown and somehow she fell

231
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: off of a balcony in the interior of the hotel

232
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: around the Palm Court and died, and then her death

233
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: was sort of covered up. And now this Pink Lady

234
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: has seen as a ghost floating around the place, and

235
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: for decades it was forbidden to talk about this ghost.

236
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: Employees were told at the Grove Park End, if you

237
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: talk about this, you will be fired. For a number

238
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: of reasons. It might not just be because some people

239
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: get scared, but also because that if there was a

240
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: real death and some prominent figure was connected, then it

241
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: may have actually been a cover up. We just we

242
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: still don't know for certain about the facts surrounding this

243
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Pink Ladys story. But all we know is that a

244
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: lot of people said they saw her, and a lot

245
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: of people claimed that's it's rooted in fact and all

246
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: of that sort of changed in I guess it was

247
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: around nineteen ninety five ninety six when I actually was

248
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: already writing my book, Haunted Asheville. It took me a

249
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: long time to write that book because I went out

250
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: and ideal of these investigations and turned them into stories,

251
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: and it was just so fortunate for me. It was

252
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: it was just like a super you know, hitting the

253
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: local ghost latto. I got contacted by the resort Dave

254
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: Tomsky and Craig Madison, who were in charge of marketing

255
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: immediate relations there, decided they were interested in finally revealing

256
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: this story, but they wanted to get the facts down,

257
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: and so they hired me to spend six months crawling

258
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: around that place and interviewing people and spending the night

259
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: in rooms, and I produced a report, the Pink Lady Report,

260
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: which impressed them enough that they did it all out

261
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: marketing campaign, had a big media event, and I'm telling you,

262
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: satellite news trucks came from all over the country. It

263
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: was a huge boost for what would become my career.

264
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: And also, you know, they allowed me to write about it,

265
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: and Haunted Asheville and The Pink Lady ended up on

266
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: the cover of the book, and it was just like

267
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: a huge win win win, Like everybody loved it. And

268
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: now when you go to the Grove park in, I mean,

269
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: the Pink Lady is this beloved sort of mascot for

270
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: the place, and little kids leave notes to her outside

271
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: of the door where they believe that she stayed. I mean,

272
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it's turned out to be great.

273
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: And yet at the same time, there was another house

274
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: that I wrote about, or there was a house, a

275
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: mansion that I wrote about in Haunted Asheville called the

276
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: Reid House, which was owned by one of George Vanderbilt's lawyers.

277
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: Of course, George Vanderbilt owned the Biltmore House, which is

278
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: this amazing castle in Asheville. It's the largest private home

279
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: in America. And so his lawyer, Samuel Reid, owned this

280
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: house on a nearby hill. And at that time, the

281
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: woman who owned the house, Marge Turco, was with the

282
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: Preservation Society, and she was just delighted to have the

283
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: story of the ghosts in that house put into the book,

284
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: and we would take people up there sometimes on tours

285
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: and investigations. And then all of a sudden, you know,

286
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: she sold it and a couple of new guys came in,

287
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: and the next time I went over there, they said,

288
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: this is under new management now and you are no

289
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: longer welcome to talk about the ghost here. And I

290
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: was like, what really? So that happened. I don't know

291
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: who owns it now and what the policy is, but

292
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: I often I will have access to a place for

293
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: a while and then something like this will happen. Of course,

294
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: the top place that I've been trying to get into

295
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: for a long time is the White House, and nobody

296
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: has ever been able to successfully go and conduct a

297
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: public paranormal investigation of the White House, but in particular

298
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Bedroom. I have been to the White House

299
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: on a tour and that was arranged by some friends

300
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: that I have in the political arena, But as far

301
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: as an investigation of the Lincoln Bedroom, that's something that

302
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: almost has to be authorized by the President or certainly

303
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: his inner circle. And you know, there was this amazing

304
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: photograph that was taken in the nineteen fifties during a

305
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: renovation of the White House that shows what I believe

306
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: is a ghostly, full bodied apparition standing in the basement

307
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: of the White House, right under the Lincoln bedroom and

308
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: if any of you think that that maybe like a

309
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: long exposure, I did a video where we demonstrated why

310
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: we don't believe that, and in fact, there are updates

311
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: to that video that are not in the video where

312
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: we determined that that was only exposed for a maximum

313
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: of two seconds and there's no way it could have

314
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: created that kind of of a translucent being. As a

315
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: matter of fact, we found we didn't even notice this

316
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: when we were doing our original research. And by us,

317
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: I mean see Eric Scott and myself who made the

318
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: report and put a video out about it. But there

319
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: actually is another construction worker in this picture, and he

320
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: happens to be walking, like taking a step at the

321
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: moment the picture was snapped, and we were able to

322
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: use that to calculate the exposure time. But anyway, if

323
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: you're interested in this picture, you'd go to Joshua Pewarren

324
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: dot com. There's a section called Gallery of the Strange

325
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: and if you click that, you'll see a section called

326
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: something about you know, the White House Ghost, and you

327
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: can watch our video report and see the updates and

328
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: all that. Well. I started writing letters to presidents, starting

329
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: with Obama. Obama was the first president. I think that

330
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: I wrote a letter to asking for permission to go

331
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: and do an investigation. And you have to understand something.

332
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: The White House is ultimately supposed to be accessible to

333
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: the people. And we see how that how the roles

334
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: have changed and the government of this country over the

335
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: past you know, two hundred and almost two hundred and

336
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: fifty years here, but you know that it is supposed

337
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: to be the people's property, and the president is as

338
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: a public servant who lives there temporarily, but it should

339
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: be accessible to the people. Well, anyway, good luck convincing

340
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 1: the system of that nowadays. I wrote multiple letters to

341
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Obama asking for permission to just go and spend a

342
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: few hours investigating the Lincoln bed him. Absolutely got no

343
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: clearance to that. And then I wrote President Trump and

344
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: ask him no clearance. Then I wrote President Biden, same deal,

345
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: no clearance. I don't care who the president is, I

346
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: don't care what the political party is. This transcends politics.

347
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: This is about a historic building that belongs to the

348
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: American public. And so you know, presidents and their administrations

349
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: come and go, always have, always will. But I have

350
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: never been given that opportunity. And I'll throw it out

351
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: there one more time. You know, if any president or

352
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: any administration or anybody in a position can give me

353
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: just a few hours to go into the Lincoln Bedroom,

354
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: it will be a very professional investigation. Everything that I

355
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: do will be authorized in advance. And I think it

356
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: would just be a wonderful treat because it also would

357
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: be a great way of helping to feature the history

358
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: of that room and the White House in particular. But

359
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, I doubt that's going to happen, but you

360
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: never know. You never know. I've even said a wishing

361
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: machine on that project before, and that's one of the

362
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: wishes that has not come true yet. It's not too late.

363
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something else. You know, when I was

364
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: down there in Key West, Florida doing my original investigation

365
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: of Robert the Haunted Doll, and this has been like gosh,

366
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably like thirteen years ago or something

367
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: like that. When I went down there, the people in

368
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: Key West, and of course, you know Robert the Haunted Doll.

369
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: He's this doll who supposedly comes to life and runs

370
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: around the people in Key West. They rolled out a

371
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: red carpet for me, and they really gave me a

372
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: lot of wonderful access to Robert the Haunted Doll. But

373
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: then something happened after that. They put a negative spin

374
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: on things. When we come back, I'm going to tell

375
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: you that, and I'm gonna tell you about a very

376
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: weird personal experience I had less than a week ago.

377
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: And listen to this. A friend of mine, who is

378
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: a witch, said she has a weight loss spell. If

379
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: you want to lose weight, she said, try this out.

380
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if it works. I'm Joshua Pete Warren. You're

381
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast.

382
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: I am para normal podcast Network. I'll be back after

383
00:25:31,080 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the

384
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am Aaron Normal podcast Network.

385
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Joshua Pete Warren, and this is the

386
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. I spent quite a

387
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: while investigating Robert the Haunted Doll down in Key West, Florida.

388
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: George Nor asks me about it all the time. It's

389
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: one of his favorite stories. And I got to go

390
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: in there late at night because he's kept in a

391
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: museum now. And when I got to go in when

392
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: the museum was closed and spend time alone with the doll.

393
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: And then at one point they there's a big glass

394
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: case around him, and that case had been over him

395
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: for four years, and they came and took the case

396
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: off and let me do all these studies. And I

397
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: did all these reports for Coast to Coast AMS Live reports.

398
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: It was a huge success. And one of the ladies

399
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: who at that time was in charge of access to

400
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: the museum and the doll, she was very kind and

401
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: open to everything I was doing. And then afterward I

402
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: had so much interesting content and I discovered some, you know,

403
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: some new things about Robert the Haunted Doll that I

404
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: decided to write a short book about it, because at

405
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: that time there was no like Little Robert the Doll

406
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: book and their gift shop or anything. So I wrote

407
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: this little book called Don't Play with Robert the World's

408
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Most Haunted Doll. And I was all proud of it,

409
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: and I sent a copy to her and she flipped out.

410
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: And it's weird, I mean, in other words, she did

411
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: not like it. She did not flip out in a

412
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: good way. It was a very bad way. She was.

413
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: She was outraged that I had written a book without

414
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: getting her mission to write it, and I guess she

415
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: didn't like the way I wrote it, And I mean,

416
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: don't play with Robert was meant to be kind of

417
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, but at the same time, I mean,

418
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: the idea is you respect this doll. Because the walls

419
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: around the doll are covered with letters from people asking

420
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: for forgiveness because they didn't respect him. That's part of

421
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: the legacy of the doll. But I found over and

422
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: over a lot of people who get around certain objects,

423
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: especially Robert the doll, they become obsessed with the doll,

424
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: and they start feeling like it's my precious, my precious,

425
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, and if you do anything that encroaches on

426
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: it without like including them, they don't like it. So

427
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: she basically, you know, was she well, I don't. I

428
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't go so far as to say I was. I

429
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: was threatened if I did anything with the book, but

430
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: it was certainly not endorsed or supported in any way.

431
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: But I did put it on my website and that

432
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: to this day. If you go to my Curiosity shop

433
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: just for you know, like a few bucks, you can

434
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: you can download it as an e book. I think

435
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: for like less than ten dollars, you can download a

436
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: handful of of e books I've written. Don't play with Robert.

437
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: But that's another one of those cases where um, you

438
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: never know, I mean, you gotta you gotta walk on

439
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: eggshell sometimes when it comes to this, this paranormal content

440
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: and in paranormal places, of paranormal objects and the whole thing.

441
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, here's a bit of a side note. When

442
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: I was in Key West doing a lot of research,

443
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: one of the best tours I've ever taken in my

444
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: life was the Rather You know, it was probably like

445
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: a one hour long walking tour of the Ernest Hemmingway home.

446
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: And you know, the guy who was there, Uh, he

447
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: looked like he'd been giving this tour for a long time.

448
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: And I just love how succinct he was when he would,

449
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: uh as he as he took us through this house,

450
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean the house. Yeah, it was a large house,

451
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: but it wasn't that big, and yet he made you

452
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: feel like you'd gone on this epic journey and he

453
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: just he kind of used Himingway style of writing was

454
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: very vivid as he took us through and told us everything.

455
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: And at the end of it, I asked him. I said,

456
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: what's your favorite humming Way quote? And he looked at

457
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: me and he said, courage is grace under pressure. So

458
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: I've always remembered him saying that to me. What do

459
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: you think courage is grace under pressure? It is kind

460
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: of beautiful, isn't it. But anyway, look, getting back to

461
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: this whole list of places, you know, I don't even

462
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: get out and conduct investigations as much as I used to.

463
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 1: You know, I had thirty years of doing that, and

464
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: now I spend more time doing experiments in my lab

465
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: here in Las Vegas and inventing metaphysical tools based on

466
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: the things I've learned. I'm working on a long term project.

467
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm working on a portal machine for my property near

468
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: Area fifty one. I run tours, the Haunted Ashville Tours,

469
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: the Haunted Boulder City Tours. I have a lot of

470
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: stuff going on, so I don't get out and investigate

471
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: as much as I want to. So there, I don't

472
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: even know if I would go back and make the

473
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: trip to investigate some of these places that I've talked about,

474
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: but I would. I would make that trip to the

475
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: White House if they let me into the Lincoln bedroom. Okay,

476
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: let me tell you about a weird experience that I had,

477
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: oh less than a week ago. You know, I have

478
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: a very erratic schedule, but often I'm up all night

479
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: working and then I sleep rather late into the day.

480
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I'll sleep to like four pm. And

481
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: so I was sleeping during the afternoon recently. And I've

482
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: always talked about what a vivid dreamer I am. And

483
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: I had this dream that Lauren and I were going

484
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: down a road I couldn't tell where it was, and

485
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I go, oh, my god, look

486
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: and Lauren she realizes that there is this driver going

487
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: the wrong way. I guess we were on a one

488
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: way road, you know, I guess, like on a freeway,

489
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: and there's there's a driver coming the wrong way toward us,

490
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: and right we were about to have a head on collision.

491
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: I woke up and I really couldn't get back to sleep,

492
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: and so not too long after that, you know, I

493
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: got up and when I started checking the news and

494
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: my messages, that's, you know, my routine. And it turns

495
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: out the news didn't post until like, you know, maybe

496
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: a couple hours later, but less than a mile from

497
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: my house. There had been a wrong way crash that

498
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: had happened on the two fifteen, And as a matter

499
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: of fact, I've got the news story right here, and

500
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: it said that a white Nissan CenTra was going the

501
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: wrong way on two fifteen here in Las Vegas and

502
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: crashed head on with a gray Chevrolet Silverado truck and

503
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: both drivers were transported to the hospital. The man driving

504
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: the truck is in a critical condition. Police believe the

505
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: woman in the wrong way vehicle was impaired, and police

506
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: are investigating. And so that happened right around the time

507
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: that I was having that dream. Was I experiencing, you know,

508
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: in real time what was happening down the road for

509
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: me in my dream? Stay? I don't know, but that

510
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you know, it sticks with you when

511
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: it happens, because what are the chances of that? And

512
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, I really do believe in a greater self

513
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: and a higher self and a spiritual self that sometimes

514
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: you can access more easily through through dreams. And I

515
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: think you can tap into that to improve your life

516
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: as well through various spiritual exercises. And a friend of

517
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: mine who lives in California is Patty Negri. She's been

518
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: on lots of TV shows, especially ghost Adventures, and she's

519
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: famously known as the Good Witch, and she's just a wonderful,

520
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: fun loving, warm, nice person. And she posted something I

521
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: thought I would share with you. She posted this on

522
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: Twitter recently. She said it's a weight loss spell. And

523
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: I think people are always interested in that, right, a

524
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: weight loss spell. She says, it's so easy. She says,

525
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: what you do is you take a candle that you like,

526
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: and you decide that every time you eat something, you're

527
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: going to light this candle. And then then you stop

528
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: eating and you blow the candle out. That you do

529
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: not eat unless that candle is lit. And she said,

530
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: even if you're going to go get a midnight snack

531
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: and you want to get one more chip or one

532
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: little cookie, you turn, you light that candle, and that

533
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: this starts training your brain to become more aware of

534
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: what you're consuming and how much you need. And somehow,

535
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: she says, you will start eating less and you'll start

536
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: burning off more energy and the pounds will stop drop

537
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: start dropping away. As she said, if you go out

538
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: to eat with somebody, or maybe you're on a date

539
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: and you don't have the candle, she said imagine the

540
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: candle is burning, and that's the next best thing. She

541
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: also said you might want to have a spell that

542
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: you say out loud, like beauty here, beauty now, beauty,

543
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: it is me. I am healthy, I am fit. Tomorrow

544
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: you will see. And when she said that, I thought, well,

545
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: that's a good way to prevent a second date. Imagine,

546
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: you know, you go out on a date. I'm a guy,

547
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: so I'm like, imagine going out with some young lady

548
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: on a date and every time she eats, she goes,

549
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 1: beauty here, beauty now, beauty, it is me. I am healthy,

550
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: I am fit. Tomorrow you will see. I'd be like, oh,

551
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun night. Matter make the

552
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: most of it. So anyway, but you know, obviously you

553
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: get the point. You know, it's about having some kind

554
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: of a ritual or routine that you attached to eating

555
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: that you do consistently. So I want you all to

556
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: try that out, and I want you to email me

557
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: and tell me what happened to you. You can find

558
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: my email address if you go to Joshua Peewarren dot

559

Speaker 1: com and scroll down on the homepage. There something else

560
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: I want to share with you real quick. Along these

561
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: lines is George Dory was recently interviewing a woman who

562
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: said she was a law of attraction expert. But he

563
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: asked her, well, what is He said, where does the

564
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: word law of or he said, where does the phrase

565
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: law of attraction come from? And there was a moment

566
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: of silence and she said, Oh, that's a that's a

567
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: good question. I have no idea. Well, I know, and

568
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: I wrote about this and my book used the Force,

569
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: a Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction. When we

Speaker 1: come back from this break, I'm going to tell you

571
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: about that. It's actually really interesting. And then I'm going

572
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: to read an email from a guy who has a

573
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: question about wishing machines and prayer boards, and then I

574
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: plan to share some fascinating trivia with you trivia word edemola.

575

Speaker 1: to Coast am parin Normal Podcast Network, and I will

579
00:37:52,680 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of

580
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast

581
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: to Coast am Paranormal podcast network. I am your host

582
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: Joshua pe Warren, and in my book used the Force

583
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: A Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction, I wrote.

584
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: In the late eighteen hundreds, mystic writers such as Madame

585
00:38:55,160 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: Blovotsky began using the term law of attraction and reference

586
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: to the relationship between matter and energy. Other writers in

587
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: the early nineteen hundreds clearly define this phrase as a

588
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: simple yet profound concept which is like attracts like. In

589
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: nineteen o nine, English writer Thomas Troward stated it more eloquently.

590
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: He said, quote the action of mind plants the nucleus, which,

591
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself

592
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.

593
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: End quote. I Also, going back to Madame Blovotsky, I

594
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: wrote that in her book Isis Unveiled? A Master Key

595
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern science and Technology?

596
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: Madame Helena Blovotsky wrote, quote by whatsoever name the physicist

597
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: may call the energizing principle in nature? If the law

598
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: of attraction is admitted as governing one, why should it

599
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: be excluded from influencing the other end quote. I believe

600
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: that's the first time we actually saw law of attraction

601
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: in print that I'm aware of. And by the way,

602
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: I also wrote here. Helena Blovotsky, often referred to as

603
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: Madame Blavotsky, was born in eighteen thirty one and what

604
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: is now the Ukraine and died in London in eighteen

605
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: ninety one at the age of fifty nine. She was

606
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: a world famous philosopher and occultist who traveled the globe

607
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: investigating spiritual cultures and esoteric mysteries. And I'll actually continue

608
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: just a little bit, says her friends included inventors such

609
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: as Thomas Edison. In eighteen seventy five, she was a

610
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: founder of the Theosophical Society, an institute devoted to metaphysical

611
00:40:54,560 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: research and publishing. Blovotsky herself defined theosophy as the quote

612
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: archaic wisdom, religion, the esoteric doctrine once known in every

613
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: ancient country, having claims to civilization. In quote again, that's

614
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: from my book Use the Force, a Jedi's Guide to

615
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: the Law of Attraction. You can attain that book through

616
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: my website. You know a lot of people who are

617
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: writing during that period of time are considered people who

618
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: align themselves with the New Thought movement, a spiritual movement

619
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: that especially coalesced in the United States in the early

620
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds and continued shaping a lot of thinkers throughout

621
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: all the way up until till the early twentieth century.

622
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: And I also sympathize and resonate with what they say

623
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 1: as the New Thought movement. Apparently, there are four main

624
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: core beliefs. So let's see if you agree with these

625
00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: four beliefs. Number one, God or infinite intelligence is supreme, universal,

626
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 1: and everlasting. That's number one. I agree with it. Number

627
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: two is divinity dwells within each person, and that all

628
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: people are spiritual beings. I agree with that, do you.

629
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: Number three, the highest spiritual principle is loving one another

630
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: unconditionally and teaching and healing one another. That's the tough one,

631
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, like, I almost feel like I'm

632
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: not worthy to claim that I'm capable of loving people unconditionally.

633
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: But it doesn't say that you have to because nobody's perfect.

634
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: It just says the highest spiritual principle is that, and

635
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: that's what most of the ascended masters. I've also said

636
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, that's what Jesus said, So I mean, yeah,

637
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: if you can do that, then I guess you're there.

638
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: It's hard, but I agree that that has to be

639
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: the highest principle, because hey, loving others, all that does

640
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: is eventually reflect back on you. And then number four

641
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: and this is the last one. Our mental states are

642
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living.

643
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: So let me repeat that. Our mental states, okay, the

644
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: state of mind that you're in. Our mental states are

645
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living.

646
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: And yes, I certainly agree with that as well. So

647
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: I guess I am a new thought adherent and I

648
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: bet many of you are as well. So I thought

649
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: i'd share that with you. Let's go to some emails now. Actually, well, gosh, ya,

650
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 1: the time is clicking by too fast. How about this one.

651
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 1: I got this message from a man named Randy. He says, hello, Joshua,

652
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: I was curious as to which one manifest faster or better.

653
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: Would it be the prayer board or the wishing machine

654
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: or what a combination of both be beneficial? Okay, so

655
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: if you go to my curiosity shop, you're going to

656
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: see a lot of different manifestation tools and you can

657
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: pick the one you like the best. It's almost like

658
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: going into the music store and saying, they all make music. Okay,

659
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: what kind of music do you do you want to make?

660
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: Do you want a guitar? Do you want a piano?

661
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: Do you want to violin? Do you want to flute? Like?

662
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: What does it for you? But what I said to

663
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: him specifically is that I personally use a wishing machine

664
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: for long term goals. So if I have a big goal,

665
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: big project, I will tune that into the wishing machine

666
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: and then let the wishing machine sit there and work

667
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: on it and take its time. However, I use the

668
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: prayer board every single day as general maintenance to just

669
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: make my day go smoothly as possible every single day.

670
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: So they perfectly complimented each other, but I think they're

671
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: but there. They do different things. You can you're manifesting

672
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: either way. But one is more of like like, let's

673
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: direct on this one thing, and the other one is, yeah,

674
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: you can focus on a one thing, but you also

675
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: should just really interact with it every single day. So

676
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: hopefully that will answer a question that others may have.

677
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: Usually they say, when one person asks a question that

678
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: there's like thousands of other people out there who have

679
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: that same question but haven't asked it. All right, let

680
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: me squeeze in some interesting trivia here. Here's there's an

681
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: old joke. It's more of an insult. Really, you say

682
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 1: to somebody you know how to instantly lose eleven pounds

683
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: of ugly fat, cut your head off. Now that's mean,

684
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: isn't it. Um? But it turns out that the average

685
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: human head actually does weigh eleven pounds. It seems like

686
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: a lot, doesn't it be carrying around on your neck.

687
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: I told Lauren that a head weighs eleven pounds, and

688
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: she said, yeah, I knew that. I was like, how

689
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: did you know that? She said that it was in

690
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: a movie. I think she said it was Jerry Maguires,

691
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: some kid says that, And I was like, oh, okay,

692
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: so maybe you knew that also. All right, how about this.

693
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: Everybody loves oreos I think it may be the best

694
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: selling cookie in the world. What do you think is

695
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: the origin of the name oreo O r EO? Where

696
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: do you think that comes from? Turns out nobody knows.

697
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. It's a true mystery. That's kind of crazy,

698
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: isn't it. Nobody knows where oreo came from? Oh? Well

699
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: that was That was dissatisfying, wasn't it. But this is

700
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: something that I thought was particularly interesting, the word jinks.

701
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: You know, you do something and somebody goes, oh, things

702
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: are going well, don't jink sit, you know, don't get

703
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: too carried away. I thought, where does that come from? Well,

704
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: here is the answer to that question. Apparently if you

705
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: look into the etymology, it says the word jinks, and

706
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: of course we spell it usually nowadays j i n x,

707
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: but at once was spelled j y n x, meaning

708
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,720
Speaker 1: a charm or a spell, was in usage as early

709
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: as the sixteen hundreds. It's traced to a seventeenth century

710
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: word which means a spell, gene, which means a spell.

711
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: That ultimately leads to the Latin word jinks, which comes

712
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: from the Latin word inex, which comes from the Greek

713
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: name of a bird called a Rheineck bird. You ever

714
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: heard of a rheineck w R y n e c

715
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: k small but distinctive group of old, small, old world woodpeckers,

716
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: And you think, well, why in the world are we

717
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: talking about this originating from a woodpecker, and it says

718
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: this woodpecker, the rheineck, has always been associated with sorcery.

719
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: Not only was the bird used in casting of spells

720
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: and divination, but the ancient Romans and Greeks traced the

721
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: birds mythological origins to a sorceress named Lynx, who is

722
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: transformed into this bird to punish her for a spell

723
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: cast on the god Zeus. So apparently, thousands of years ago,

724
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: the ancient Romans and Greeks believe that this sorceress cast

725
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: a spell on Zeus and she was punished by being

726
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: transformed into this bird called a rheineck. And that is

727
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: what jinks basically means rheineck. So we're referring to that bird.

728
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: That's wild, isn't it. So that's why you know you

729
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: don't want to jink stuff. Okay, my friends, we're out
