Speaker 1: with I Am JOSHUAFE Warren, and each week on this show,
Speaker 1: I'll be bringing you brand new my blowing content, news exercises,
Speaker 1: and weird experiments you can do at home, and a
Speaker 1: lot more on this edition of the show. They won't
Speaker 1: let me investigate this. Actually you're going to hear kind
Speaker 1: of a list of stories and places in this particular podcast.
Speaker 1: I got a message the other day from a woman
Speaker 1: asking me if I had ever investigated the creepy La
Speaker 1: Louri mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana. Now, I have had
Speaker 1: a lot of spooky experiences in Louisiana. In fact, you
Speaker 1: possibly heard me talk about the time I spent the
Speaker 1: night by myself at Myrtle's plantation in Saint Francisville, Louisiana,
Speaker 1: and had some intelligent invisible being knocking on the walls
Speaker 1: and the tables and keeping me up all night. Got
Speaker 1: that on video. But anyway, getting back to her particular question,
Speaker 1: I told her that I I have been to the
Speaker 1: Llauri mansion and if you don't know what that is,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you in a minute. But I said, I
Speaker 1: have been to the creepy l Loauri mansion, but they
Speaker 1: would not let me in to investigate. And she said,
Speaker 1: what why? Why on earth wouldn't they let you into it? This?
Speaker 1: And I get this reaction from time to time for
Speaker 1: people when I say, yeah, I couldn't get in, They
Speaker 1: can't believe it, They say, well, wi on earth would
Speaker 1: anyone deny access to the great and terrible Joshua Pee
Speaker 1: Warren to go in and do it? And I think
Speaker 1: this is a good opportunity to tell you some stories
Speaker 1: about just how much resistance that you get sometimes when
Speaker 1: you're in the paranormal field. If you are the type
Speaker 1: of person who listens to a podcast like this, then
Speaker 1: that means you are open minded and you are intelligent
Speaker 1: enough to understand how interesting these mysterious places are. And
Speaker 1: if you owned a place like that, or managed a
Speaker 1: place that had some amazing phenomenon, you would welcome a
Speaker 1: credible person coming in to study it. But because you're
Speaker 1: that kind of person, it's easy to just expect that
Speaker 1: others would feel the same way, and that is certainly
Speaker 1: not always the case. So let me tell you what
Speaker 1: happened when it comes to the Lo Louri Mansion. First off,
Speaker 1: this is a story that I find kind of difficult
Speaker 1: to talk about. If you a lot of you may
Speaker 1: have heard about this place because it was dramatized in
Speaker 1: the popular show American Horror Story. But this truly was
Speaker 1: a house of horrors, a house of torture and mutilation,
Speaker 1: And in fact, some of the stories are so gruesome
Speaker 1: and disturbing that I honestly do not want to get
Speaker 1: into them on this podcast. But here's the gist of it. Okay,
Speaker 1: this house, it's right near Bourbon Street, so it's in
Speaker 1: the middle of all the action. And it was the
Speaker 1: residence of this woman who lived from seventeen eighty seven
Speaker 1: to eighteen forty nine named Marie Delphine la Lourie. Okay,
Speaker 1: and so I guess she became known as Madame la
Speaker 1: Lourie after one of her marriages. And according to Wikipedia,
Speaker 1: it says she was a New Orleans sociolite and serial
Speaker 1: killer who tortured and murdered slaves in her household. And again,
Speaker 1: if you want to to learn more about this, then
Speaker 1: you can just look it up for yourself. But she
Speaker 1: was so horribly torturing slaves, almost to the point of experimentation,
Speaker 1: you know, mutilating them and doing really unspeakable things to
Speaker 1: them that when the people of New Orleans found out
Speaker 1: about this and discovered some of these poor people who
Speaker 1: had been chained up in her house and tied up
Speaker 1: in her house, the house was mobbed and it was
Speaker 1: basically destroyed, and they were going to execute her, but somehow,
Speaker 1: you know, she was connected enough, and she escaped. They
Speaker 1: I think they believed she escaped to France and was
Speaker 1: never brought to justice, and they believed that she died
Speaker 1: there on Let's See at the age of sixty two.
Speaker 1: But it's just just a terrible story. So they're that
Speaker 1: in mind, because in twenty twelve, I was hired by
Speaker 1: the Travel Channel and the company that produces the Ghost
Speaker 1: Adventures show to be a regular cast member on a
Speaker 1: TV series called Paranormal Papa Rozzi, And the idea was
Speaker 1: that I would be on every single episode and I
Speaker 1: would be one of a handful of reporters that would
Speaker 1: travel around the United States covering strange topics and especially
Speaker 1: any kind of breaking news about anything weird. You know, ghost, UFOs, cryptids,
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but also you know, just unusual stuff
Speaker 1: like some of these explosions that people would experience out
Speaker 1: of the blue in the in their in their their
Speaker 1: neighborhood and all that kind of business. The As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, one time I went to uh UM,
Speaker 1: I went to Florida and I did a segment off
Speaker 1: the cuff about the Fountain of Youth, and the people
Speaker 1: there didn't want me to cover that, so UM anyway,
Speaker 1: that kind of ties into the topic. But nonetheless, for
Speaker 1: this show UM, I spent months with my friend and
Speaker 1: producer ce Eric Scott traveling all over the United States
Speaker 1: by planes, trains, and automobiles, h and even part of
Speaker 1: the fringe, the outer fringe of Mexico there covering these stories.
Speaker 1: It was a heck of an adventure. There's no way
Speaker 1: I could do that now I don't have the energy
Speaker 1: to do that anymore. But it was a great epic adventure,
Speaker 1: kind of a once in a lifetime experience. And one
Speaker 1: of the places we were assigned to cover a story
Speaker 1: in was New Orleans, and they actually sent us down
Speaker 1: there to do a story about this voodoo priestess. And
Speaker 1: actually I think that one didn't make the cut for
Speaker 1: some reason. But while Eric and I were in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: I realized at one point that we were near the
Speaker 1: La louri Mansion. Okay, this is in in the evening,
Speaker 1: and this is a mansion that it's connected to pop
Speaker 1: culture in a lot of different ways. For a while,
Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage, the actor, owned this house. So I was
Speaker 1: let's see Eric and I one evening we were walking
Speaker 1: by and I go, that's the La Lourie Mansion. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: that be an risting segment? And of course it was.
Speaker 1: It was all locked up and it looked like, I
Speaker 1: didn't have any way of even trying to figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, who to contact. And I looked up at
Speaker 1: Lo and behold, there is a man standing on a
Speaker 1: balcony up there, holding a drink. And I start shouting
Speaker 1: up there and we start having a friendly conversation and
Speaker 1: he's telling me about the house and everything, and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: this is amazing. You know, I'm here in town filming
Speaker 1: some interesting stories for the Travel Channel. Is it okay
Speaker 1: if I come inside and take a look. And the
Speaker 1: guy says, yeah, sure, that's fine, and then he turned
Speaker 1: and he walks off, And I said to Eric, Wow,
Speaker 1: can you believe this? What an unexpected Jack Pott. You
Speaker 1: know I'm going to get to go into this this
Speaker 1: you know, amazing Lolauri mansion to do this story. And
Speaker 1: then we waited and waited. About five minutes later, the
Speaker 1: guy reappears and now there is a second man with him,
Speaker 1: an older guy, and the older guy just looks down
Speaker 1: it doesn't say anything. And the first guy I was
Speaker 1: talking to he was wearing a ball cap and he
Speaker 1: kind of looked like a groundskeeper. Sort. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I've just seen enough groundskeepers I kind of know what
Speaker 1: they look like and uh, and he goes, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't, And I was like, what, you know,
Speaker 1: I was so close, and I try my best to
Speaker 1: convince these guys. You know, I started bribing them, and
Speaker 1: I don't know how much money I had on me,
Speaker 1: but I was and nothing worked. So I never got
Speaker 1: to go in there. And that was the story at
Speaker 1: that time. They did not want that kind of publicity.
Speaker 1: And I must point out that actually that is not
Speaker 1: even the same structure, because the original structure was torn
Speaker 1: and torn apart and burned down by a mob, so
Speaker 1: this is even a different building. But still, you know,
Speaker 1: it's the same piece of space time there where all
Speaker 1: this happened. And but since then the building has changed hands,
Speaker 1: and I believe that with new owners and new management,
Speaker 1: other people have I'm in and been able to investigate
Speaker 1: that place. But this made me think of like all
Speaker 1: these similar situations that I've had throughout my life in
Speaker 1: which I have been told Nope, you cannot investigate this.
Speaker 1: And you have to realize that over time, though ownership changes,
Speaker 1: management changes, and some people do and some people do
Speaker 1: not want publicity. When we come back from our first break,
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about some of these places
Speaker 1: that have had this attitude or change in attitude, like
Speaker 1: the Grove Park in in Asheville, North Carolina, the Reed House,
Speaker 1: and my biggest challenge ever, the White House. I also
Speaker 1: have an interesting story for you about Robert the Haunted Doll.
Speaker 1: All that and a lot more. By the way, you know,
Speaker 1: I recently released the Buddha Stone, money Magnet and Happiness Kit,
Speaker 1: and boy has the response been absolutely overwhelming. People around
Speaker 1: the world absolutely love this thing. Watch the short video
Speaker 1: about this and as long as I may have them
Speaker 1: in stock, I don't know how long that will be.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast am parin normal podcast network. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Weird, Joshua pe Warren, beaming into your
Speaker 1: wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver.
Speaker 1: Gia Tato Zume, agiatatos Zume, do you feel the magic?
Speaker 1: Guess what a listener of this show heard the episode
Speaker 1: I did about the magical word ajiatatos Zume, and he
Speaker 1: created a private Facebook group just to discuss experiences regarding
Speaker 1: this word and similar topics. And so if you are
Speaker 1: on Facebook and you want to participate, even though it's
Speaker 1: a private group, you should be able to just go
Speaker 1: there and you know, request to be a part of it,
Speaker 1: and it would be fascinating, I'm sure for all of
Speaker 1: us to sort of see where this goes. So let
Speaker 1: me spell that for you in case you want to
Speaker 1: do it. It's spelled A g I A T A
Speaker 1: t o z o O m A y. Probably if
Speaker 1: you just type in a gia it'll pop up. But
Speaker 1: a gia T A t o z o o m
Speaker 1: a y ajiatato zoome. This is gonna be cool. Also,
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking about me being on this
Speaker 1: show called Paranormal Paparazzi that aired on the Travel Channel
Speaker 1: in twenty and twelve. If you want to see some
Speaker 1: free segments from that TV show, as well as samples
Speaker 1: of some other TV stuff I've done, if you go
Speaker 1: to Joshua Pewarren dot com, there's a section at the
Speaker 1: top that says TV and film work, and if you
Speaker 1: click that, it will just give you some free samples,
Speaker 1: you know, clips and reels and things that you can
Speaker 1: watch and if you've never seen that, you might enjoy
Speaker 1: some of it. But you know, I was born and
Speaker 1: raised in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, and one
Speaker 1: of the most prominent places in Asheville is the Grove
Speaker 1: Park In Resort and spa. The Venerable Resort was built
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirteen and its history is magnificent. It's the
Speaker 1: kind of place where you know all the celebrities and
Speaker 1: the presidents would stay, you know, when they came into town.
Speaker 1: And while I was growing up, I mean, everybody knew
Speaker 1: that there was this ghost there called the Pink Lady.
Speaker 1: And the story was that she was some young woman
Speaker 1: who'd been staying there, probably in the nineteen twenties, and
Speaker 1: wearing a long pink evening gown and somehow she fell
Speaker 1: off of a balcony in the interior of the hotel
Speaker 1: around the Palm Court and died, and then her death
Speaker 1: was sort of covered up. And now this Pink Lady
Speaker 1: has seen as a ghost floating around the place, and
Speaker 1: for decades it was forbidden to talk about this ghost.
Speaker 1: Employees were told at the Grove Park End, if you
Speaker 1: talk about this, you will be fired. For a number
Speaker 1: of reasons. It might not just be because some people
Speaker 1: get scared, but also because that if there was a
Speaker 1: real death and some prominent figure was connected, then it
Speaker 1: may have actually been a cover up. We just we
Speaker 1: still don't know for certain about the facts surrounding this
Speaker 1: Pink Ladys story. But all we know is that a
Speaker 1: lot of people said they saw her, and a lot
Speaker 1: of people claimed that's it's rooted in fact and all
Speaker 1: of that sort of changed in I guess it was
Speaker 1: around nineteen ninety five ninety six when I actually was
Speaker 1: already writing my book, Haunted Asheville. It took me a
Speaker 1: long time to write that book because I went out
Speaker 1: and ideal of these investigations and turned them into stories,
Speaker 1: and it was just so fortunate for me. It was
Speaker 1: it was just like a super you know, hitting the
Speaker 1: local ghost latto. I got contacted by the resort Dave
Speaker 1: Tomsky and Craig Madison, who were in charge of marketing
Speaker 1: immediate relations there, decided they were interested in finally revealing
Speaker 1: this story, but they wanted to get the facts down,
Speaker 1: and so they hired me to spend six months crawling
Speaker 1: around that place and interviewing people and spending the night
Speaker 1: in rooms, and I produced a report, the Pink Lady Report,
Speaker 1: which impressed them enough that they did it all out
Speaker 1: marketing campaign, had a big media event, and I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: satellite news trucks came from all over the country. It
Speaker 1: was a huge boost for what would become my career.
Speaker 1: And also, you know, they allowed me to write about it,
Speaker 1: and Haunted Asheville and The Pink Lady ended up on
Speaker 1: the cover of the book, and it was just like
Speaker 1: a huge win win win, Like everybody loved it. And
Speaker 1: now when you go to the Grove park in, I mean,
Speaker 1: the Pink Lady is this beloved sort of mascot for
Speaker 1: the place, and little kids leave notes to her outside
Speaker 1: of the door where they believe that she stayed. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it's turned out to be great.
Speaker 1: And yet at the same time, there was another house
Speaker 1: that I wrote about, or there was a house, a
Speaker 1: mansion that I wrote about in Haunted Asheville called the
Speaker 1: Reid House, which was owned by one of George Vanderbilt's lawyers.
Speaker 1: Of course, George Vanderbilt owned the Biltmore House, which is
Speaker 1: this amazing castle in Asheville. It's the largest private home
Speaker 1: in America. And so his lawyer, Samuel Reid, owned this
Speaker 1: house on a nearby hill. And at that time, the
Speaker 1: woman who owned the house, Marge Turco, was with the
Speaker 1: Preservation Society, and she was just delighted to have the
Speaker 1: story of the ghosts in that house put into the book,
Speaker 1: and we would take people up there sometimes on tours
Speaker 1: and investigations. And then all of a sudden, you know,
Speaker 1: she sold it and a couple of new guys came in,
Speaker 1: and the next time I went over there, they said,
Speaker 1: this is under new management now and you are no
Speaker 1: longer welcome to talk about the ghost here. And I
Speaker 1: was like, what really? So that happened. I don't know
Speaker 1: who owns it now and what the policy is, but
Speaker 1: I often I will have access to a place for
Speaker 1: a while and then something like this will happen. Of course,
Speaker 1: the top place that I've been trying to get into
Speaker 1: for a long time is the White House, and nobody
Speaker 1: has ever been able to successfully go and conduct a
Speaker 1: public paranormal investigation of the White House, but in particular
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Bedroom. I have been to the White House
Speaker 1: on a tour and that was arranged by some friends
Speaker 1: that I have in the political arena, But as far
Speaker 1: as an investigation of the Lincoln Bedroom, that's something that
Speaker 1: almost has to be authorized by the President or certainly
Speaker 1: his inner circle. And you know, there was this amazing
Speaker 1: photograph that was taken in the nineteen fifties during a
Speaker 1: renovation of the White House that shows what I believe
Speaker 1: is a ghostly, full bodied apparition standing in the basement
Speaker 1: of the White House, right under the Lincoln bedroom and
Speaker 1: if any of you think that that maybe like a
Speaker 1: long exposure, I did a video where we demonstrated why
Speaker 1: we don't believe that, and in fact, there are updates
Speaker 1: to that video that are not in the video where
Speaker 1: we determined that that was only exposed for a maximum
Speaker 1: of two seconds and there's no way it could have
Speaker 1: created that kind of of a translucent being. As a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, we found we didn't even notice this
Speaker 1: when we were doing our original research. And by us,
Speaker 1: I mean see Eric Scott and myself who made the
Speaker 1: report and put a video out about it. But there
Speaker 1: actually is another construction worker in this picture, and he
Speaker 1: happens to be walking, like taking a step at the
Speaker 1: moment the picture was snapped, and we were able to
Speaker 1: use that to calculate the exposure time. But anyway, if
Speaker 1: you're interested in this picture, you'd go to Joshua Pewarren
Speaker 1: dot com. There's a section called Gallery of the Strange
Speaker 1: and if you click that, you'll see a section called
Speaker 1: something about you know, the White House Ghost, and you
Speaker 1: can watch our video report and see the updates and
Speaker 1: all that. Well. I started writing letters to presidents, starting
Speaker 1: with Obama. Obama was the first president. I think that
Speaker 1: I wrote a letter to asking for permission to go
Speaker 1: and do an investigation. And you have to understand something.
Speaker 1: The White House is ultimately supposed to be accessible to
Speaker 1: the people. And we see how that how the roles
Speaker 1: have changed and the government of this country over the
Speaker 1: past you know, two hundred and almost two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty years here, but you know that it is supposed
Speaker 1: to be the people's property, and the president is as
Speaker 1: a public servant who lives there temporarily, but it should
Speaker 1: be accessible to the people. Well, anyway, good luck convincing
Speaker 1: the system of that nowadays. I wrote multiple letters to
Speaker 1: Obama asking for permission to just go and spend a
Speaker 1: few hours investigating the Lincoln bed him. Absolutely got no
Speaker 1: clearance to that. And then I wrote President Trump and
Speaker 1: ask him no clearance. Then I wrote President Biden, same deal,
Speaker 1: no clearance. I don't care who the president is, I
Speaker 1: don't care what the political party is. This transcends politics.
Speaker 1: This is about a historic building that belongs to the
Speaker 1: American public. And so you know, presidents and their administrations
Speaker 1: come and go, always have, always will. But I have
Speaker 1: never been given that opportunity. And I'll throw it out
Speaker 1: there one more time. You know, if any president or
Speaker 1: any administration or anybody in a position can give me
Speaker 1: just a few hours to go into the Lincoln Bedroom,
Speaker 1: it will be a very professional investigation. Everything that I
Speaker 1: do will be authorized in advance. And I think it
Speaker 1: would just be a wonderful treat because it also would
Speaker 1: be a great way of helping to feature the history
Speaker 1: of that room and the White House in particular. But
Speaker 1: you know, I doubt that's going to happen, but you
Speaker 1: never know. You never know. I've even said a wishing
Speaker 1: machine on that project before, and that's one of the
Speaker 1: wishes that has not come true yet. It's not too late.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you something else. You know, when I was
Speaker 1: down there in Key West, Florida doing my original investigation
Speaker 1: of Robert the Haunted Doll, and this has been like gosh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably like thirteen years ago or something
Speaker 1: like that. When I went down there, the people in
Speaker 1: Key West, and of course, you know Robert the Haunted Doll.
Speaker 1: He's this doll who supposedly comes to life and runs
Speaker 1: around the people in Key West. They rolled out a
Speaker 1: red carpet for me, and they really gave me a
Speaker 1: lot of wonderful access to Robert the Haunted Doll. But
Speaker 1: then something happened after that. They put a negative spin
Speaker 1: on things. When we come back, I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: you that, and I'm gonna tell you about a very
Speaker 1: weird personal experience I had less than a week ago.
Speaker 1: And listen to this. A friend of mine, who is
Speaker 1: a witch, said she has a weight loss spell. If
Speaker 1: you want to lose weight, she said, try this out.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it works. I'm Joshua Pete Warren. You're
Speaker 1: listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast.
Speaker 1: I am para normal podcast Network. I'll be back after
Speaker 1: these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast am Aaron Normal podcast Network.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Joshua Pete Warren, and this is the
Speaker 1: show where the unusual becomes usual. I spent quite a
Speaker 1: while investigating Robert the Haunted Doll down in Key West, Florida.
Speaker 1: George Nor asks me about it all the time. It's
Speaker 1: one of his favorite stories. And I got to go
Speaker 1: in there late at night because he's kept in a
Speaker 1: museum now. And when I got to go in when
Speaker 1: the museum was closed and spend time alone with the doll.
Speaker 1: And then at one point they there's a big glass
Speaker 1: case around him, and that case had been over him
Speaker 1: for four years, and they came and took the case
Speaker 1: off and let me do all these studies. And I
Speaker 1: did all these reports for Coast to Coast AMS Live reports.
Speaker 1: It was a huge success. And one of the ladies
Speaker 1: who at that time was in charge of access to
Speaker 1: the museum and the doll, she was very kind and
Speaker 1: open to everything I was doing. And then afterward I
Speaker 1: had so much interesting content and I discovered some, you know,
Speaker 1: some new things about Robert the Haunted Doll that I
Speaker 1: decided to write a short book about it, because at
Speaker 1: that time there was no like Little Robert the Doll
Speaker 1: book and their gift shop or anything. So I wrote
Speaker 1: this little book called Don't Play with Robert the World's
Speaker 1: Most Haunted Doll. And I was all proud of it,
Speaker 1: and I sent a copy to her and she flipped out.
Speaker 1: And it's weird, I mean, in other words, she did
Speaker 1: not like it. She did not flip out in a
Speaker 1: good way. It was a very bad way. She was.
Speaker 1: She was outraged that I had written a book without
Speaker 1: getting her mission to write it, and I guess she
Speaker 1: didn't like the way I wrote it, And I mean,
Speaker 1: don't play with Robert was meant to be kind of
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek, but at the same time, I mean,
Speaker 1: the idea is you respect this doll. Because the walls
Speaker 1: around the doll are covered with letters from people asking
Speaker 1: for forgiveness because they didn't respect him. That's part of
Speaker 1: the legacy of the doll. But I found over and
Speaker 1: over a lot of people who get around certain objects,
Speaker 1: especially Robert the doll, they become obsessed with the doll,
Speaker 1: and they start feeling like it's my precious, my precious,
Speaker 1: you know, and if you do anything that encroaches on
Speaker 1: it without like including them, they don't like it. So
Speaker 1: she basically, you know, was she well, I don't. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't go so far as to say I was. I
Speaker 1: was threatened if I did anything with the book, but
Speaker 1: it was certainly not endorsed or supported in any way.
Speaker 1: But I did put it on my website and that
Speaker 1: to this day. If you go to my Curiosity shop
Speaker 1: just for you know, like a few bucks, you can
Speaker 1: you can download it as an e book. I think
Speaker 1: for like less than ten dollars, you can download a
Speaker 1: handful of of e books I've written. Don't play with Robert.
Speaker 1: But that's another one of those cases where um, you
Speaker 1: never know, I mean, you gotta you gotta walk on
Speaker 1: eggshell sometimes when it comes to this, this paranormal content
Speaker 1: and in paranormal places, of paranormal objects and the whole thing.
Speaker 1: You know, here's a bit of a side note. When
Speaker 1: I was in Key West doing a lot of research,
Speaker 1: one of the best tours I've ever taken in my
Speaker 1: life was the Rather You know, it was probably like
Speaker 1: a one hour long walking tour of the Ernest Hemmingway home.
Speaker 1: And you know, the guy who was there, Uh, he
Speaker 1: looked like he'd been giving this tour for a long time.
Speaker 1: And I just love how succinct he was when he would,
Speaker 1: uh as he as he took us through this house,
Speaker 1: I mean the house. Yeah, it was a large house,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't that big, and yet he made you
Speaker 1: feel like you'd gone on this epic journey and he
Speaker 1: just he kind of used Himingway style of writing was
Speaker 1: very vivid as he took us through and told us everything.
Speaker 1: And at the end of it, I asked him. I said,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite humming Way quote? And he looked at
Speaker 1: me and he said, courage is grace under pressure. So
Speaker 1: I've always remembered him saying that to me. What do
Speaker 1: you think courage is grace under pressure? It is kind
Speaker 1: of beautiful, isn't it. But anyway, look, getting back to
Speaker 1: this whole list of places, you know, I don't even
Speaker 1: get out and conduct investigations as much as I used to.
Speaker 1: You know, I had thirty years of doing that, and
Speaker 1: now I spend more time doing experiments in my lab
Speaker 1: here in Las Vegas and inventing metaphysical tools based on
Speaker 1: the things I've learned. I'm working on a long term project.
Speaker 1: I'm working on a portal machine for my property near
Speaker 1: Area fifty one. I run tours, the Haunted Ashville Tours,
Speaker 1: the Haunted Boulder City Tours. I have a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff going on, so I don't get out and investigate
Speaker 1: as much as I want to. So there, I don't
Speaker 1: even know if I would go back and make the
Speaker 1: trip to investigate some of these places that I've talked about,
Speaker 1: but I would. I would make that trip to the
Speaker 1: White House if they let me into the Lincoln bedroom. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me tell you about a weird experience that I had,
Speaker 1: oh less than a week ago. You know, I have
Speaker 1: a very erratic schedule, but often I'm up all night
Speaker 1: working and then I sleep rather late into the day.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I'll sleep to like four pm. And
Speaker 1: so I was sleeping during the afternoon recently. And I've
Speaker 1: always talked about what a vivid dreamer I am. And
Speaker 1: I had this dream that Lauren and I were going
Speaker 1: down a road I couldn't tell where it was, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I go, oh, my god, look
Speaker 1: and Lauren she realizes that there is this driver going
Speaker 1: the wrong way. I guess we were on a one
Speaker 1: way road, you know, I guess, like on a freeway,
Speaker 1: and there's there's a driver coming the wrong way toward us,
Speaker 1: and right we were about to have a head on collision.
Speaker 1: I woke up and I really couldn't get back to sleep,
Speaker 1: and so not too long after that, you know, I
Speaker 1: got up and when I started checking the news and
Speaker 1: my messages, that's, you know, my routine. And it turns
Speaker 1: out the news didn't post until like, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: a couple hours later, but less than a mile from
Speaker 1: my house. There had been a wrong way crash that
Speaker 1: had happened on the two fifteen, And as a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, I've got the news story right here, and
Speaker 1: it said that a white Nissan CenTra was going the
Speaker 1: wrong way on two fifteen here in Las Vegas and
Speaker 1: crashed head on with a gray Chevrolet Silverado truck and
Speaker 1: both drivers were transported to the hospital. The man driving
Speaker 1: the truck is in a critical condition. Police believe the
Speaker 1: woman in the wrong way vehicle was impaired, and police
Speaker 1: are investigating. And so that happened right around the time
Speaker 1: that I was having that dream. Was I experiencing, you know,
Speaker 1: in real time what was happening down the road for
Speaker 1: me in my dream? Stay? I don't know, but that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you know, it sticks with you when
Speaker 1: it happens, because what are the chances of that? And
Speaker 1: you know, I really do believe in a greater self
Speaker 1: and a higher self and a spiritual self that sometimes
Speaker 1: you can access more easily through through dreams. And I
Speaker 1: think you can tap into that to improve your life
Speaker 1: as well through various spiritual exercises. And a friend of
Speaker 1: mine who lives in California is Patty Negri. She's been
Speaker 1: on lots of TV shows, especially ghost Adventures, and she's
Speaker 1: famously known as the Good Witch, and she's just a wonderful,
Speaker 1: fun loving, warm, nice person. And she posted something I
Speaker 1: thought I would share with you. She posted this on
Speaker 1: Twitter recently. She said it's a weight loss spell. And
Speaker 1: I think people are always interested in that, right, a
Speaker 1: weight loss spell. She says, it's so easy. She says,
Speaker 1: what you do is you take a candle that you like,
Speaker 1: and you decide that every time you eat something, you're
Speaker 1: going to light this candle. And then then you stop
Speaker 1: eating and you blow the candle out. That you do
Speaker 1: not eat unless that candle is lit. And she said,
Speaker 1: even if you're going to go get a midnight snack
Speaker 1: and you want to get one more chip or one
Speaker 1: little cookie, you turn, you light that candle, and that
Speaker 1: this starts training your brain to become more aware of
Speaker 1: what you're consuming and how much you need. And somehow,
Speaker 1: she says, you will start eating less and you'll start
Speaker 1: burning off more energy and the pounds will stop drop
Speaker 1: start dropping away. As she said, if you go out
Speaker 1: to eat with somebody, or maybe you're on a date
Speaker 1: and you don't have the candle, she said imagine the
Speaker 1: candle is burning, and that's the next best thing. She
Speaker 1: also said you might want to have a spell that
Speaker 1: you say out loud, like beauty here, beauty now, beauty,
Speaker 1: it is me. I am healthy, I am fit. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: you will see. And when she said that, I thought, well,
Speaker 1: that's a good way to prevent a second date. Imagine,
Speaker 1: you know, you go out on a date. I'm a guy,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, imagine going out with some young lady
Speaker 1: on a date and every time she eats, she goes,
Speaker 1: beauty here, beauty now, beauty, it is me. I am healthy,
Speaker 1: I am fit. Tomorrow you will see. I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun night. Matter make the
Speaker 1: most of it. So anyway, but you know, obviously you
Speaker 1: get the point. You know, it's about having some kind
Speaker 1: of a ritual or routine that you attached to eating
Speaker 1: that you do consistently. So I want you all to
Speaker 1: try that out, and I want you to email me
Speaker 1: and tell me what happened to you. You can find
Speaker 1: my email address if you go to Joshua Peewarren dot
Speaker 1: com and scroll down on the homepage. There something else
Speaker 1: I want to share with you real quick. Along these
Speaker 1: lines is George Dory was recently interviewing a woman who
Speaker 1: said she was a law of attraction expert. But he
Speaker 1: asked her, well, what is He said, where does the
Speaker 1: word law of or he said, where does the phrase
Speaker 1: law of attraction come from? And there was a moment
Speaker 1: of silence and she said, Oh, that's a that's a
Speaker 1: good question. I have no idea. Well, I know, and
Speaker 1: I wrote about this and my book used the Force,
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
Speaker 1: about that. It's actually really interesting. And then I'm going
Speaker 1: to read an email from a guy who has a
Speaker 1: question about wishing machines and prayer boards, and then I
Speaker 1: plan to share some fascinating trivia with you trivia word edemola.
Speaker 1: I just love this stuff. Word etymology. Oh boy, time
Speaker 1: flies too quickly sometimes. On this show, I'm Joshua pee Warnon.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast am parin Normal Podcast Network, and I will
Speaker 1: be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of
Speaker 1: this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast am Paranormal podcast network. I am your host
Speaker 1: Joshua pe Warren, and in my book used the Force
Speaker 1: A Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction, I wrote.
Speaker 1: In the late eighteen hundreds, mystic writers such as Madame
Speaker 1: Blovotsky began using the term law of attraction and reference
Speaker 1: to the relationship between matter and energy. Other writers in
Speaker 1: the early nineteen hundreds clearly define this phrase as a
Speaker 1: simple yet profound concept which is like attracts like. In
Speaker 1: nineteen o nine, English writer Thomas Troward stated it more eloquently.
Speaker 1: He said, quote the action of mind plants the nucleus, which,
Speaker 1: if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself
Speaker 1: all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form.
Speaker 1: End quote. I Also, going back to Madame Blovotsky, I
Speaker 1: wrote that in her book Isis Unveiled? A Master Key
Speaker 1: to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern science and Technology?
Speaker 1: Madame Helena Blovotsky wrote, quote by whatsoever name the physicist
Speaker 1: may call the energizing principle in nature? If the law
Speaker 1: of attraction is admitted as governing one, why should it
Speaker 1: be excluded from influencing the other end quote. I believe
Speaker 1: that's the first time we actually saw law of attraction
Speaker 1: in print that I'm aware of. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I also wrote here. Helena Blovotsky, often referred to as
Speaker 1: Madame Blavotsky, was born in eighteen thirty one and what
Speaker 1: is now the Ukraine and died in London in eighteen
Speaker 1: ninety one at the age of fifty nine. She was
Speaker 1: a world famous philosopher and occultist who traveled the globe
Speaker 1: investigating spiritual cultures and esoteric mysteries. And I'll actually continue
Speaker 1: just a little bit, says her friends included inventors such
Speaker 1: as Thomas Edison. In eighteen seventy five, she was a
Speaker 1: founder of the Theosophical Society, an institute devoted to metaphysical
Speaker 1: research and publishing. Blovotsky herself defined theosophy as the quote
Speaker 1: archaic wisdom, religion, the esoteric doctrine once known in every
Speaker 1: ancient country, having claims to civilization. In quote again, that's
Speaker 1: from my book Use the Force, a Jedi's Guide to
Speaker 1: the Law of Attraction. You can attain that book through
Speaker 1: my website. You know a lot of people who are
Speaker 1: writing during that period of time are considered people who
Speaker 1: align themselves with the New Thought movement, a spiritual movement
Speaker 1: that especially coalesced in the United States in the early
Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds and continued shaping a lot of thinkers throughout
Speaker 1: all the way up until till the early twentieth century.
Speaker 1: And I also sympathize and resonate with what they say
Speaker 1: as the New Thought movement. Apparently, there are four main
Speaker 1: core beliefs. So let's see if you agree with these
Speaker 1: four beliefs. Number one, God or infinite intelligence is supreme, universal,
Speaker 1: and everlasting. That's number one. I agree with it. Number
Speaker 1: two is divinity dwells within each person, and that all
Speaker 1: people are spiritual beings. I agree with that, do you.
Speaker 1: Number three, the highest spiritual principle is loving one another
Speaker 1: unconditionally and teaching and healing one another. That's the tough one,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, like, I almost feel like I'm
Speaker 1: not worthy to claim that I'm capable of loving people unconditionally.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't say that you have to because nobody's perfect.
Speaker 1: It just says the highest spiritual principle is that, and
Speaker 1: that's what most of the ascended masters. I've also said
Speaker 1: you know, that's what Jesus said, So I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you can do that, then I guess you're there.
Speaker 1: It's hard, but I agree that that has to be
Speaker 1: the highest principle, because hey, loving others, all that does
Speaker 1: is eventually reflect back on you. And then number four
Speaker 1: and this is the last one. Our mental states are
Speaker 1: carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living.
Speaker 1: So let me repeat that. Our mental states, okay, the
Speaker 1: state of mind that you're in. Our mental states are
Speaker 1: carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living.
Speaker 1: And yes, I certainly agree with that as well. So
Speaker 1: I guess I am a new thought adherent and I
Speaker 1: bet many of you are as well. So I thought
Speaker 1: i'd share that with you. Let's go to some emails now. Actually, well, gosh, ya,
Speaker 1: the time is clicking by too fast. How about this one.
Speaker 1: I got this message from a man named Randy. He says, hello, Joshua,
Speaker 1: I was curious as to which one manifest faster or better.
Speaker 1: Would it be the prayer board or the wishing machine
Speaker 1: or what a combination of both be beneficial? Okay, so
Speaker 1: if you go to my curiosity shop, you're going to
Speaker 1: see a lot of different manifestation tools and you can
Speaker 1: pick the one you like the best. It's almost like
Speaker 1: going into the music store and saying, they all make music. Okay,
Speaker 1: what kind of music do you do you want to make?
Speaker 1: Do you want a guitar? Do you want a piano?
Speaker 1: Do you want to violin? Do you want to flute? Like?
Speaker 1: What does it for you? But what I said to
Speaker 1: him specifically is that I personally use a wishing machine
Speaker 1: for long term goals. So if I have a big goal,
Speaker 1: big project, I will tune that into the wishing machine
Speaker 1: and then let the wishing machine sit there and work
Speaker 1: on it and take its time. However, I use the
Speaker 1: prayer board every single day as general maintenance to just
Speaker 1: make my day go smoothly as possible every single day.
Speaker 1: So they perfectly complimented each other, but I think they're
Speaker 1: but there. They do different things. You can you're manifesting
Speaker 1: either way. But one is more of like like, let's
Speaker 1: direct on this one thing, and the other one is, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can focus on a one thing, but you also
Speaker 1: should just really interact with it every single day. So
Speaker 1: hopefully that will answer a question that others may have.
Speaker 1: Usually they say, when one person asks a question that
Speaker 1: there's like thousands of other people out there who have
Speaker 1: that same question but haven't asked it. All right, let
Speaker 1: me squeeze in some interesting trivia here. Here's there's an
Speaker 1: old joke. It's more of an insult. Really, you say
Speaker 1: to somebody you know how to instantly lose eleven pounds
Speaker 1: of ugly fat, cut your head off. Now that's mean,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Um? But it turns out that the average
Speaker 1: human head actually does weigh eleven pounds. It seems like
Speaker 1: a lot, doesn't it be carrying around on your neck.
Speaker 1: I told Lauren that a head weighs eleven pounds, and
Speaker 1: she said, yeah, I knew that. I was like, how
Speaker 1: did you know that? She said that it was in
Speaker 1: a movie. I think she said it was Jerry Maguires,
Speaker 1: some kid says that, And I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so maybe you knew that also. All right, how about this.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves oreos I think it may be the best
Speaker 1: selling cookie in the world. What do you think is
Speaker 1: the origin of the name oreo O r EO? Where
Speaker 1: do you think that comes from? Turns out nobody knows.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows. It's a true mystery. That's kind of crazy,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Nobody knows where oreo came from? Oh? Well
Speaker 1: that was That was dissatisfying, wasn't it. But this is
Speaker 1: something that I thought was particularly interesting, the word jinks.
Speaker 1: You know, you do something and somebody goes, oh, things
Speaker 1: are going well, don't jink sit, you know, don't get
Speaker 1: too carried away. I thought, where does that come from? Well,
Speaker 1: here is the answer to that question. Apparently if you
Speaker 1: look into the etymology, it says the word jinks, and
Speaker 1: of course we spell it usually nowadays j i n x,
Speaker 1: but at once was spelled j y n x, meaning
Speaker 1: a charm or a spell, was in usage as early
Speaker 1: as the sixteen hundreds. It's traced to a seventeenth century
Speaker 1: word which means a spell, gene, which means a spell.
Speaker 1: That ultimately leads to the Latin word jinks, which comes
Speaker 1: from the Latin word inex, which comes from the Greek
Speaker 1: name of a bird called a Rheineck bird. You ever
Speaker 1: heard of a rheineck w R y n e c
Speaker 1: k small but distinctive group of old, small, old world woodpeckers,
Speaker 1: And you think, well, why in the world are we
Speaker 1: talking about this originating from a woodpecker, and it says
Speaker 1: this woodpecker, the rheineck, has always been associated with sorcery.
Speaker 1: Not only was the bird used in casting of spells
Speaker 1: and divination, but the ancient Romans and Greeks traced the
Speaker 1: birds mythological origins to a sorceress named Lynx, who is
Speaker 1: transformed into this bird to punish her for a spell
Speaker 1: cast on the god Zeus. So apparently, thousands of years ago,
Speaker 1: the ancient Romans and Greeks believe that this sorceress cast
Speaker 1: a spell on Zeus and she was punished by being
Speaker 1: transformed into this bird called a rheineck. And that is
Speaker 1: what jinks basically means rheineck. So we're referring to that bird.
Speaker 1: That's wild, isn't it. So that's why you know you
Speaker 1: don't want to jink stuff. Okay, my friends, we're out
