Strange Holiday Tales. My favorite ghost story, if 16 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: you will, is also my favorite Christmas story. It's the 17 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: one you probably see or hear about every year. It's 18 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: called a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Published in eighteen three. 19 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: The Miserly Old Ebeneezer Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve 20 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: by the miserable ghost of his old business partner, followed 21 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: by three spirits, and they each teach him life changing 22 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: lessons before he dies and it's too late to save 23 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: his own soul. It is a powerful story and I 24 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: definitely personally believe in the lessons, and around this time 25 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: each year, I like to remind people that the character 26 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Ebenezer Scrooge was based on a real man. His name 27 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: was John Ellis. John Elwis was born in Southwark, England, 28 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: on April the seven of seventeen fourteen, and he died 29 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: on November twenty six, seventeen eighty nine, at the age 30 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: of seventy five. His father was a successful brewer and 31 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: his father's father was a member of Parliament. His mother 32 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: was the daughter of a wealthy English baronet, Sergeivaise, and 33 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: his mother's mother, Lady Isabella, happened to be a famous 34 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: miser herself. So as a young man he received a 35 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: good education in the classics at the Westminster School, and 36 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: that he traveled some in Europe to study horsemanship. Uh 37 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: in Geneva, Switzerland. He was even introduced to Voltaire, the 38 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: famous French writer. Now John Elwis had already inherited his 39 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: first fortune at the age of four. When his father died, 40 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: his mother was left the equivalent of nearly ten million 41 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: dollars in today's money, but they say she starved herself 42 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: to death because she was too cheap to spend it, 43 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: and so when she died, he inherited the vast family estate, 44 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: spanning numerous properties. But and even bigger inheritance came when 45 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: his uncle died, Sir Hervey now Sir Hervey prided himself 46 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: on only spending a little more than a hundred and 47 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: ten pounds on himself per year, so John Ellis and 48 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: his uncle would often spend the evening by a cheap 49 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: candle railing against other people's extravagances while they shared shared 50 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: a single glass of wine. And when his uncle died 51 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: in seventeen sixty three, the forty nine year old John 52 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: Ellis inherited about twenty million dollars in today's money. But 53 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: that fortune would just continue to grow over the years 54 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: due to his various businesses. In fact, when let's see 55 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: in seventeen seventy two, when he was fifty eight years old, 56 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: with the help of a friend named Lord Craven, John 57 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: Ellis became a member of Parliament himself for practically no 58 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: election expenditure. They say that l was sat with either 59 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: party according to his whim, and he never once rose 60 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: to address the House of Commons. Never. Fellow members mockingly 61 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: observed that since he possessed only one suit, they could 62 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: never accuse him of being a turn coat. Being a 63 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: member of Parliament did, however, cause Els to frequently travel 64 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: to Westminster, and he made this journey on a poor, 65 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: old lean horse, the route chosen always being the one 66 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: whereby he could avoid turnpike tolls. Now he was known 67 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: to put a hard boiled egg in his pocket, and 68 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: midway on his journey he would sit under some hedge 69 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: and eat his egg or sleep. And after twelve years 70 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: of this he retired rather than face the prospect of 71 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: laying out any money to retain his seat. Throughout his adulthood, 72 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: he was truly one of England's most famous miser's. He 73 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: went to bed when darkness fell, so as to save 74 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: on candles, he began wearing only ragged clothes, was including 75 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: a beggar's cast off wig he found in a hedge, 76 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: and he wore that for two weeks. His clothes were 77 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: so dilapidated that many mistook him for a common street beggar, 78 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: and they put a penny into his hand as they passed. 79 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: To avoid paying for a coach, he would walk in 80 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: the rain and then sit in wet clothes to save 81 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: the cost of a fire to drive them. His house 82 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: was was full of expensive furniture, but also molding food 83 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: and listen to this. He would eat putrified game before 84 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: allowing new food to be bought. On one occasion, it 85 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: was said that he ate a more hen. Now that's 86 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: a bird that floats on the water like a duck. 87 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: He ate a more hen that a rat had pulled 88 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: from a river. Rather than spend money for repairs, he 89 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: allowed his spacious country mansion to become uninhabitable. A near 90 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: relative once stayed at his home in the country read 91 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: but the bedroom was in such poor state that the 92 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: relative was awakened in the night by rain pouring on 93 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: him from the roof. The relative was forced to move 94 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: his bed several times until he found a place where 95 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: he could remain dry, and on remarking about what happened 96 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: to Elis in the morning, John Ellis said, I don't 97 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: mind it myself. That's a nice quarter in the rain. 98 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: His biographer, a man named Edward Topham, knew him very well, 99 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: and he said, according to one historian, John even quote 100 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: complained bitterly of the birds robbing him of so much 101 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: hay with which to build their nests end quote. He 102 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: also goes on to say even el Was his health 103 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: was limited by expense. In common with many misers, he 104 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: distrusted physicians, preferring to treat himself in order to save 105 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: paying for one. He once badly cut both legs while 106 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: walk home in the dark, but would only allow the 107 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: apothecary to treat one. Placing a bet with a doctor, 108 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: wagering the doctor's fee that the untreated limb would hill first. 109 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: Well guess what Elis won, and the doctor had to 110 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: forfeit his feet. L was also a boar wound from 111 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: a hunting accident. Legend has it that one day he 112 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: was out shooting with a gentleman who was a particularly 113 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: bad shot. This same man accidentally fired through a hedge, 114 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: lodging several shots in the miser's cheek. With great embarrassment 115 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: and concern. The gentleman approached Elis to apologize, but Elis, 116 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: anticipating the apology, held out his hand and said, my 117 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: dear sir, I congratulate you on improving. I thought you 118 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: would hit something in some time. When his parliamentary career 119 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: was over, Els devoted his full energies to being a 120 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: miser as he moved about among his any properties, so 121 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: as his neglected estates, or at these neglected estates, because 122 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: you know, he continued to forbid repairs, and he joined 123 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: his tenants and post harvest gleaning, and sat with his 124 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: servants in the kitchen to save the cost of a 125 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: fire elsewhere. Even on the coldest day of winter, he 126 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: was known to sit fireless at his mills, saying that 127 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: exercising through eating was exercise enough to keep him warm. 128 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: If a stable boy put out hey for a visitors horse, 129 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: l Was would sneak out and remove it. And in 130 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: his last year's he had no real fixed abode, and 131 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: he frequently shifted his residence between unrented London properties in 132 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: the neighborhood of marl Bone, seeking out the ones which 133 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: were temporarily unoccupied. Hide A couple of beds, a couple 134 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: of chairs, a table, and an old woman as he 135 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: called her, that's a housekeeper were said to be all 136 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: of his furnishings, and this same housekeeper was known to 137 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: frequently catch colds because there were never any fires and 138 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: often no glass in the windows. Now this practice nearly 139 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: cost Elwis his life when he felt desperately ill in 140 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: one of those houses and no one could find him. 141 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: Only by chance was he rescued. His nephew, Colonel Tim's 142 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: wanted to see him, and he was asking around and 143 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: trying to find him. He was inquiring in vain at 144 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Ellis's banker at other places, and a boy selling pots 145 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: on the street said, oh, yeah, he saw an old 146 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: beggar go into a stable at one of Ellis's uninhabited houses. 147 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: So Tim's knocked on the door, but when no un answered, 148 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: he sent for a blacksmith and had the lock forced 149 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: open on the door. And according to the author Edward Walford, 150 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: when they entered the place, they found something really terrible 151 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: and shocking. Do you think this story is gonna have 152 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: a good ending? I'll tell you the rest of it 153 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: when we come back from this break, The story of 154 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: the real Ebenezer Scrooge, John Elwis.

I am your host, the Wizard of Weird, 190 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my 191 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day 192 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: is golden and every night is silver, And I'm telling 193 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: you the story of the real Ebenezer Scrooge, John Ellis. 194 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: And of course here is the situation in which his nephew, 195 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: Colonel Tims, is trying to find John Ellis and nobody 196 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: can figure out where he is, and a boy selling 197 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: pots as I saw some old beggar going to this 198 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: stable over here at this uninhabited house, and that was 199 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: one of Ellis's houses. So anyway, so Colonel Tim's the 200 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: nephew there, he got a black smith. They they broke 201 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: in there, and it says in the lower part of 202 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: the house all was shut and silent, but on ascending 203 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: the stairs they heard the moans of a person seemingly 204 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: in distress. They went to the chamber and there was 205 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: an old palate bed where they found Mr Ellwis, apparently 206 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: in the agonies of death. For some time he seemed 207 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: quite insensible. He remained in this condition until some quote 208 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: cordials could be administered by a neighboring apothecary, and after 209 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: he had sufficiently recovered, Elwas stated he believed he had 210 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: been ill for two or three days, and that there 211 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: was an old woman in the house, a maid, but 212 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: for some reason or other, that she had not been 213 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: near him, and that she had been ill herself, so 214 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: he supposed she must have recovered and gone away. Upon 215 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: searching the premises, however, Tim's and the apothecary found the 216 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: woman stretched lifeless on the floor, having apparently been dead 217 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: in there for days. So oh, what a scene, right, 218 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: The old man is lying there and this old drafty, creaky, wet, 219 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: damp house sick doesn't even know there's a dead woman 220 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: flying there nearby. For days anyway, Towards the end of 221 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: his life, Elvis grew feverish and restless, hoarding small quantities 222 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: of money in different places, continually visiting all the places 223 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: of deposit to see that they were safe. He began 224 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: suffering from delusions, fearing he would die somehow in poverty. 225 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: In the night, he was heard struggling with imaginary robbers, 226 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: crying I will keep my money. I will don't robbed me. 227 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: And when someone would ask him who was there, Elis 228 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: would say, oh, sir, I beg your pardon. My name 229 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: is Elis. I have been unfortunate enough to be robbed 230 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: in this house, which I believe is mine of all 231 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: the money I have in the world, of five guineas 232 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: and a half and a crown. The family doctor was 233 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: sent for, and, looking at the dying miser, he was 234 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: hurt to remark quote that man, with his original strength 235 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: of constitution and lifelong habits of temperance might have lived 236 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: twenty years longer, but for his continual anxiety about money 237 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: in quote. So upon his death, there says even his barrister, 238 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: who drew up his will, was forced to undertake his 239 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: writings in the firelight by the dying man's bedside in 240 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: order to save the cost of a candle. The famed 241 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: miser was also known to sleep in the same warren 242 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: garments he wore during the day. He was discovered one 243 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: morning between the sheets, with his tattered shoes on his feet, 244 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: and an old torn hat on his head and a 245 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: stick in his hand. And it was in that condition 246 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: that he died on the twenty six November of seventy nine. 247 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: His burial took place in an area called stoked by Clear, 248 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: and after having lived on only only fifty pounds a year, 249 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: he left behind five hundred thousand pounds, which in today's 250 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: money is about one hundred million dollars. Can you believe 251 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: that that this guy lived that life when he had 252 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars at his disposal? And uh he 253 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: So he left that hundred million dollars to his two 254 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: sons who were born out of wedlock, George and John, 255 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: and he loved both of them, but he would not 256 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: educate them. Believing that quote Putting things into people's heads 257 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: is the sure way to take money out of their 258 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: pockets end quote. And uh, he also left some money 259 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: to his nephew. His friend and biographer Mr. Toppham said, quote, 260 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: his public character lives after him pure and without staying 261 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: in private life. He was chiefly an enemy to himself, 262 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: to others. He lent much to himself. He denied everything, 263 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: but in the pursuit of his property or in the 264 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: recovery of it, I have not in my remembrance one 265 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: unkind thing that was ever done by him. End quote. 266 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: And on a side note, just in case you've been wondering, 267 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: the famous actor Carrie Ellis who played the lead and 268 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: the Princess Bride Fantastic movie, He's actually a descendant of 269 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: John Ellis. So you see, even though John Ellis was 270 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: apparently not as mean as Scrooge, he obviously was a 271 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: great framework for a character who is obsessed with the 272 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: superficial material world, and in one way or another he 273 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: suffered in the end just as Scrooge would have if 274 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: not for the intervention of the Three Spirits on Christmas Eve. 275 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: And it is easy easy to look at people like 276 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: John Ellis and roll our eyes and looked down on him. 277 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: But just remember what Jacob Marley said. He was the 278 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: tortured ghost of Scrooge's greedy old business partner, you know, 279 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: dragging those heavy chains and money boxes. And he says 280 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: in the story, I wear the chain I forged in life. 281 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: I made it link by link and yard by yard 282 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: of my own free will, and of my own free 283 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: will I wore it. Would you know, the ghost as Scrooge, 284 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: the weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself. 285 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: It was as full and heavy and long as this 286 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: seven Christmas eves ago. You have labored on it since 287 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: it is a ponderous chain. So now I must ask 288 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: each of you, my dear listeners, to pause for a 289 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: moment and imagine your own invisible chain that you have 290 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: fashioned link by link throughout your life. We all have one, 291 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: But it may never be too late to cut that 292 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: chain down a lot. To be a better, kinder, more understanding, 293 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: and humble person. To be grateful for all the good 294 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: things in your life, and never take them for granted, 295 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: because if you're not careful, and you give into the 296 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: negative judgmental forces and opinions all around you, that chain 297 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: may drag you further and further down, all the way 298 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: to hell. So this is a good time for you 299 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: to pause, think about that, cut that chain, raise your vibration, smile, 300 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: tell everyone you love them, mean it, Do something good 301 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: for someone, and the spirits of the holiday season and 302 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: Christmas and all that will only bring you wonderful rewards 303 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: to be revealed in the coming. Here time to set 304 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: the tone. Isn't that a great true story? A great 305 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: thing to think about? You know? It seems all of 306 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: the lessons of the holidays are told through weird stories. 307 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: Have you ever thought really about that. We have elves, 308 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: flying reindeer, a man who slides down your chimney with gifts, 309 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: and he loves to eat your milk and cookies. By 310 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: the way. We have the Old Crumpus, who is the 311 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: opposite of Santa, and he's a great horned demon that 312 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: will come to your house if the kids are bad 313 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: and drag them away and eat them. We have kissing 314 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: under the mistletoe, chopping down a tree and bringing it 315 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: into the house, which is really based on the pagan 316 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: worship of nature, But of course the dominant theme is 317 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: that one night long ago, a Ufo, the star of 318 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: Bethlehem appeared over a small town where a divine baby 319 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: was born, a version of God on earth who would 320 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: have magical and miraculous powers, and angels drift around the 321 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: whole time. I mean, it's almost too much when you 322 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: start digging into this idea of strange holiday stories, it's 323 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: almost too much. Where do I begin. Well, I don't 324 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: know how much I can get to in one podcast. Um, 325 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: I'll probably have to talk more in an upcoming podcast 326 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: about some of these things that I find so intriguing, 327 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: but I figure in this one, in this particular show, 328 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: I want to give you at least one truly personal, 329 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: bizarre paranormal story that I have related to Christmas and 330 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: Santa Claus. And also it ties into one of my 331 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: favorite subjects topas. Yeah, it's whenever people ask me about 332 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: whether or not Santa's real and I tell them about 333 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: this experiment that I did. They think it's gonna be 334 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: a really fun story, but it ends up kind of 335 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: creeping everybody out. I'll tell you what the story is 336 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: when we come back. I am Joshua P. Warren.

I am your host, Joshua 352 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: Pete Warren, and this is the show where the unusual 353 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: becomes usual. Years ago, I sent out one of my 354 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: free e newsletters, which goes out to thousands of people 355 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: all around the world, and I said, I want to 356 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: ask all of you a question, and I'm serious, this 357 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: is not a joke. Do any of you believe you 358 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: actually have seen Santa Claus? And I had no idea 359 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: what reaction I would get. And I was quite amazed 360 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: when I got a flood of emails from adults who said, 361 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: as an adult, I saw Santa Claus, not as a kid. 362 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean there were some of those as well, but 363 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: people saying as an adult. And they told me about 364 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: seeing the Santa in the sleigh with the a near 365 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: flying across the sky, and they talked about, uh, seeing 366 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: him in the living room now, you know, and some 367 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: people are getting scared to death thinking somebody broken into 368 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: their houses. I mean, like, the stories went on and on, 369 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: and I thought this must be a great example of 370 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: some kind of autopa. And you know autopa is you've 371 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: heard me talk about this before. Autopa is a thought form. Basically, 372 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: it is an image of some kind that either one 373 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: person focuses on intensely over a long period of time, 374 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: or a bunch of people focus on intensely for maybe 375 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: even a shorter period of time, and they the focus 376 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: is so intense that somehow it becomes a projection that 377 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: is objectified, externalized, almost like some kind of a movie 378 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: in the environment, and many strange and paranormal things maybe 379 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: the product of this. It's it's an impression almost like 380 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: hacking into reality and creating your own cartoon or something 381 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: like that, an externalized thought form. And sometimes they can 382 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: seem conscious and interactive, and sometimes they don't, and and 383 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: and so like, Okay, let's say, for example, Superman. I 384 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: think most people in the world know what Superman is 385 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: supposed to look like, and what he sounds like, and 386 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: how he behaves. And if I said, draw a picture 387 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,239 Speaker 1: of Superman, anybody could draw a picture of Superman. So 388 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 1: Superman is a kind of topa. Uh, but he's not 389 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: a very strong one, because we all know Superman is 390 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: not real. You know, We've always been told like Superman 391 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: is fictional, so it never crosses your mind there's really 392 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: a Superman out there. But Santa Claus is different because 393 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: we all have these these firm images of what Santa 394 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: is more or less supposed to look like, and who 395 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: he is, and how he behaves in his personality, in 396 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: his background. We all but but we're also in many 397 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: cases told for a large part of our lives that, oh, yeah, 398 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: he's real, this guy is real, and here all this 399 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: stuff is real. And many of us believe that for 400 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: some time, and it's reinforced that he is real when 401 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: you are a kid, and you see he has left 402 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: these physical gifts in your house, and he has eaten 403 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: the cookies and drank the milk. Okay, so Santa maybe 404 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: the strongest tulpa you can ever imagine. And I figured, 405 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: you know what, if people are seeing Santa and he's 406 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: this powerful of a tulpa, I'm going to see if 407 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: I can create a Santa Claus topa. And so I 408 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: did an experiment. I did this in Lauren, my wife. 409 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Uh Lauren is from Texas, That's where all her family 410 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: are located. And back in Lauren and I were staying 411 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. I guess it was 412 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: over a month or something like that, out in rural 413 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: Texas outside of San Antonio, on this big ranch that 414 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: was owned by her mother, Linda. So that's my mother 415 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: in law and in Linda's husband Dale. Okay, So these 416 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: are the characters, the main characters in this story, Me 417 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: and law Lauren and myself. We're staying on this ranch 418 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: in Texas with Linda and Dell, my mother in law 419 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: and father in law. Okay. So now this is a big, 420 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: big Texas ranch with lots of acreage and livestock and 421 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: a pond and an old cemetery, I mean the works. 422 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: This is everybody always said this place was haunted to 423 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: big in with because artifacts have been found there. I 424 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: think they said Santa Ana went through there. They found 425 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: old swords and muskets, and so there there has always 426 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: been kind of a tradition like some spooky things happened, 427 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: and I think it's easier to create tulpa's at places 428 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: that are already prone to that kind of activity. So, um, 429 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: all right, So on this property, which was I don't know, 430 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: I think it was hundreds of acres right uh Dale 431 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: who was self employed, he had this uh trailer that 432 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: was set up as an office building about a quarter 433 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: of a mile from their main house. And this is 434 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: a pretty desolate quarter mile, the kind of thing where 435 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: like if you want to go to the office, you 436 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: get in the pickup truck and you drive down the 437 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: dirt road past the pond, and then you know when 438 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: you're when you're out there in this trailer which is 439 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: the office, you're kind of in the middle of nowhere 440 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: and they're just surrounded by woods and at night it's 441 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: real dark and spooky out there. And so while we 442 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: were staying there, um, I, of course was still working 443 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: and I was doing a lot of radio stuff where 444 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: I needed a quiet environment. And their main ranch house 445 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: was not a quiet environment at all, um because for 446 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,959 Speaker 1: one thing, they had a bunch of dogs, and you know, 447 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: the dogs are always carrying on, and then they were 448 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: very They're very social, so people were always coming and going, 449 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: and I I said, look, I there are times where 450 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: I just need to go out here. And they gave 451 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: me that office a quarter mile away in the woods 452 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: for me to just go out, and there was a 453 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: bed in a kitchen, and I sometimes i'd just stay 454 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: there for a few days, like you know, that's where 455 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: I would kind of live because I'd be doing these 456 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: radio shows in the middle of the night, at all 457 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: hours of the day, so it was not uncommon for 458 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: me to be in that isolated situation. So I decided, 459 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: you know what, this might be a good time. This 460 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: is around the holidays, so it might be a time 461 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: for me to try to create a Santa Claus Tulpa. 462 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: Lauren and I we were at the San Antonio Mall. 463 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: We walked into the store and they had this very 464 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: elaborate ten inch Santa Claus doll on a stand and 465 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: I thought that would be the perfect focal point for 466 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: me to try to create my Santa Claus tulpa. So 467 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: we bought it. And then whenever I was out in 468 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: that building by myself, very quiet again, very very eerie, 469 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: spooky out there, and I would have that Santa Claus 470 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: doll sitting there, and every time I would notice it, 471 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: I would sit there for a second and I think 472 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: about Santa being real, come to me, Santa manifest, Santa Welcome, Santa. 473 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: I would imagine Santa Claus being there. Sometimes I would 474 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: use my Tibetan emos and i'd put them over my 475 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: eyes to meditate and bring me into a more psychic state. 476 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: If you don't know what Tibetan emos are, go to 477 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: my curiosity shop at Joshua P. Warren dot com and 478 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: you'll see these little things you can put over your 479 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 1: eyes that bring you into a more psychic meditation state. 480 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: And I hope that maybe one day I wouldn't only 481 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: see this topa, but also I might be able to 482 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: photograph it. Right. So anyway, I did this for a 483 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: long time, probably well over a week, maybe a couple 484 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: of weeks, I can't remember exactly. And finally I had 485 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: a day or two off without any kind of radio work. 486 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: So Lauren and I we decided to drive to Austin, 487 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: which is about an hour and ten minutes away. There's 488 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: a lot of cool stuff there. They have the Museum 489 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: of the Weird. The guy who runs that place, he's 490 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: really cool. He's a friend of mine. And there are 491 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: some cool oddity shops and some old saloons and like me, 492 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: a lot of cool stuff like that. So we we 493 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: spend our time in Austin, and then we got back 494 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: pretty late that night to the ranch outside of San Antonio. 495 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: And like again, this is a very rural area, and um, 496 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: it was probably close to midnight. So when we got 497 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: into the main ranch house, everybody was asleep except for 498 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:22,439 Speaker 1: Lauren's mom Linda. So Dale was already asleep in like 499 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: his the main bedroom. He's one of those guys, you know, 500 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: he would wear a cowboy hat and get up early 501 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: in the morning and go out and wrangle things out 502 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: and so uh so Lauren and I were standing there 503 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: in the kitchen kind of creating a little late night 504 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: snack or meal for ourselves, and Lauren's mom comes in 505 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: there and we're all we're just chatting in the kitchen. 506 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: And again, this is almost at midnight, and then all 507 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the phone rings and Lauren's mom, Linda goes, 508 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: that's weird. I wonder who would be calling this late. 509 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: But the phone was answered. She assumed, well, you know, 510 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: Dale was an entrepreneur, so you never knew what he 511 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: had going on. So anyway, the the phone rang, and 512 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: so then like a couple of minutes later, Dale has 513 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: he's woken up, and he has come out of the 514 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: bedroom and he walks into the kitchen and he said, 515 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: what just happened? What's going on? And we said, what 516 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 1: are you talking about? He said, I just got a 517 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: call from nine one one. He said that they got 518 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: a call from the trailer on the back of the property. 519 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: Now does this Now this might want you this, This 520 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: might give you goose bumps a little bit, because think 521 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: about this. There are four people on this property, on 522 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: this big gas property. Okay, there is myself, Lauren Lawrence, 523 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm Linda and her husband Deal and we're all standing 524 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: in the kitchen and yet someone has placed a nine 525 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: one one call from this building where I'm doing all 526 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: this topa manifestation work out on the back of the property, 527 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: so I decided to drive out there by myself to 528 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: see what was going on.

I'll be back after these important messages. 533 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: Men and women can have an excess of one hundred 534 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: thousand hairs. Unfortunately, before hair loss is noticed, that number 535 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: drops nearly in a half. But it is by no 536 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 1: means too late. Easy to apply reveal from Dr Nathan 537 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: Newman uses stem cells technology and natural ingredients to revitalize 538 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: the appearance of your hair for the fuller look you remember. 539 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: Here's Dr Newman. A lot of people with hair problems 540 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: have come up to me showing me pictures after two 541 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: months of use. After three months of use of the 542 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: revealed them on their scalp showing me dramatic improvements in 543 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 1: the quality of their hair, volume of their hair. And 544 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: one of the people was a woman who had lost 545 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: her hair and was really sinned out. She was wearing 546 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,280 Speaker 1: wigs and covering it up. She was very self conscious 547 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: about it. She used it for about six months and 548 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: she came to me with a big smile, nothing covering 549 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: her hair, and she goes, look, you gave me on 550 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: my life back. And that's really why I do what 551 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 1: I do, is because I want to change people's eyes 552 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: for the better. And these stories give me the inspiration 553 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: to go forward and develop new things. Hair loss, hereditary 554 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: or not, increases with age.

Welcome back to the 564 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 1: final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the 565 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast. I am Paranormal 566 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 1: podcast Network. I'm your host Joshua pe Warren. And when 567 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: Dell found out that Laren was fine and Linda was fine, 568 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 1: and I was fine. He said, all right, just went 569 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: back to bed. We could have just left it at death. 570 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: But I thought to myself, well, how could I say 571 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: I'm worth my weighting salt as a paranormal investigator if 572 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't get in a pickup truck out there tonight, 573 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,240 Speaker 1: you know. Now it's after midnight, you know, and drive 574 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: out to this old, dark building and see what's happening, 575 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: because the most likely explanation is not that Santa Claus 576 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: has manifested. The most likely explanation is that someone has 577 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: broken into that building and that perhaps, uh, something bad 578 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: is happening in this building. But I had to find out. 579 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: So the ladies were like, oh, you're crazy. I got 580 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: into the truck and trust me, this is Texas, and 581 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: there were a lot of guns at my disposal, but 582 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 1: I was unarmed. And so I go driving on this cold, 583 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 1: dark night across you slowly across this dirt road, and 584 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, the headlights hit the trailer there. It's all dark. 585 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: I get out of the truck. I stand there for 586 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: a minute. I will sort of listen. I don't hear 587 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: anything weird. So I crept over and I walked up 588 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: though creaky wooden steps, and the door was locked, so 589 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: I unlocked it and I walked in there with a flashlight. 590 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: The first thing my flashlight hit was the little Santa 591 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: Claus doll there, and I went all around with a 592 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: flashlight and I did not see anything that was out 593 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: of place. And so then I walked up to that 594 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: Santa Claus doll and I shined that flashlight right on him, 595 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: and I said, you called nine one one, didn't you? 596 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:56,720 Speaker 1: You want attention, So now is your chance show yourself, Santa, 597 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: show yourself. You are commended. But it was a perfectly quiet, 598 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: peaceful night. Santa never appeared, and I never got that 599 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: photo was hoping for. But you know what afterward that 600 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 1: building was and continues to be the site of weird phenomena. 601 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: The lights turn on and off by themselves, voices are heard. 602 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: I think I made some progress just doing my own 603 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: little work, my own little project. They're trying to conjure 604 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 1: up Santa Claus. And even though I may not have 605 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:52,959 Speaker 1: fully materialized Santa Claus there, I want all of you 606 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: to join in on a little experiment, all right. I 607 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: want all of you to recreate some version of the 608 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: experiment that I did at your own home. Make it 609 00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: a family event. You know, you all continue all season long. 610 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: Get a picture of Santa, get a doll of Santa, 611 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: get a rendition of Santa. Sit around, focus on Santa 612 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: and see if you can make Santa manifest and let 613 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 1: me know what happens. Just go to Joshua Pee Warren 614 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: dot com to email me. You'll find my email address 615 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: on the homepage. Are you gonna have any luck conjuring 616 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: up Santa Claus? You know I mentioned that Santa likes 617 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: to eat milk and cookies. It's really weird. I lived 618 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,839 Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico, of course for years, and Puerto Rico 619 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 1: has one of the longest celebration seasons of any um 620 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: of any place in the world. When it comes to 621 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: Christmas time. I mean they celebrate Christmas way after January one. 622 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean like they have what they call Three Kings Day, 623 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: where guys dress up like the Three Wise Men and 624 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: they ride around town on camels if they if they 625 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: got them and um. The night before, instead of leaving 626 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: milk and cookies, kids leave hay under their bed to 627 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 1: feed the camels. That's what they do, and then in 628 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 1: the morning the hay has been eaten and they have 629 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,280 Speaker 1: presents under their bed. Uh yeah. I In our next show, 630 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to share just more weird you know, holiday 631 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,879 Speaker 1: stuff like that with you, because we are almost out 632 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: of time. In fact, I want to go ahead and 633 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: see if I can squeeze uh squeeze an email in here. 634 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,399 Speaker 1: At least I haven't. I don't think I got thread 635 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: an email last time. Just so much to talk about, 636 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 1: all right? How about this one? Um? This came from 637 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: a man in California named Phil. He says, Mr warrens 638 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 1: something interesting happened to me back in the early nineteen sixties. Now, 639 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: I will go ahead and give your heads up. If 640 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: you are a fisherman, you might really want to pay 641 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: it to men in to this, Okay, says I had 642 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:08,359 Speaker 1: flattened two copper pennies until they were almost as thin 643 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: as writing paper, and then I used my BB gun 644 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: to shoot holes in the middle of each of them. 645 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,800 Speaker 1: I put a lot of effort into putting the holes 646 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: in them. My dad took me fishing with him on 647 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: the Sacramento River, just southwest of Sacramento, California. I took 648 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: out of my pocket one of the two flattened pennies 649 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: and threw it as hard as I could into the 650 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: river next to the dock. We got into the boat 651 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: and went fishing on the river. I was the only 652 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 1: one who caught a fish. It was huge, almost a 653 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: two foot long fish. And after that my dad never 654 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: took me fishing again. How did I know that giving 655 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 1: a coin with a round hole in it would trade 656 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,400 Speaker 1: for a big fish? Somehow I just knew that doing 657 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: this would work. I never did it again, but I 658 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:16,439 Speaker 1: do remember the prayer that General Pattent had the minister right, 659 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 1: and the negotiation for good weather from Finding Your Magic. 660 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 1: Perhaps for me it was for the fish. That's an 661 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: interesting story, isn't it. And of course he's referring to 662 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: my Finding Your Magic e book there. I've never heard 663 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: that before that if you have a coin that you 664 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: flatten out and put a hole in the center and 665 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: toss it in the water, it'll be good lucky you 666 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 1: can catch a fish. So if you have the ability 667 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: to try that out, let me know. You know. It's 668 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 1: it's funny because people they contact me sometimes and everybody 669 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,120 Speaker 1: sort of assumes that I'm going to know every lucky 670 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: thing to do in the world. And uh, some people 671 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: contact me and they say. I've heard that if you 672 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: take two walnuts and a stick and put them in 673 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 1: your pocket, that that will attract money and and good 674 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 1: good fortune. And I've heard this over and over, but 675 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. I don't know where 676 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: it comes from. And then, uh, then a guy emailed 677 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,319 Speaker 1: me the other day and he said that, uh he 678 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: found the some buckeyes and that, uh the carrying a 679 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: buckeye with you is also supposed to be lucky. And 680 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 1: that goes back to some of the traditions. Of course, 681 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 1: you to the Buckeye state is Ohio, but chestnuts look 682 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: a lot like buck eyes, and so people would often 683 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: take a chestnut or a buckeye and sort of carry 684 00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: it around with him. And uh So, I don't know. 685 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: It's there are certain things that people fixate on that 686 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 1: bring them good fortune. And I think that that might 687 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: be a cool thing for me to also talk about 688 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: as we get closer to the new year this year, 689 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: because you know how people they eat black eyed peas 690 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: and they say that that's good luck. I mean, maybe 691 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,879 Speaker 1: I'll dig a little bit into some lucky things because 692 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,399 Speaker 1: we all want to have a good, lucky new year 693 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 1: ahead of us and even if the world is not 694 00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 1: always the best place, if you can make your own 695 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 1: life good, and your own circle of friends and family good, 696 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 1: in your own community good, well that's pretty darn good, 697 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 1: isn't it. That is why, as usual, I'm going to 698 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,759 Speaker 1: end the show for you. I don't always do this, 699 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 1: but I'm going to play the good fortune tone for you. 700 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: And when you hear this, I want you to realize 701 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 1: this is not something that you can just only listen 702 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,280 Speaker 1: to and close your eyes and take a deep breath 703 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: and and and enjoy. But a lot of people, I 704 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: keep telling you this now, they take a beverage, especially, 705 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,919 Speaker 1: I mean, just plain old water is probably the best thing, 706 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 1: but who knows good to experiment, and they put it 707 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,359 Speaker 1: right in front of the speaker and they let this 708 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 1: beverage absorb the frequency of the good fortune tonue. And 709 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: then after that they drink the beverage. It doesn't have 710 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: to be immediately, and they drink the beverage at some 711 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: point and they say that it replenishes them and brings 712 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: that energy and it just it makes it even more powerful. 713 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: You can feel it going into every cell of your body. 714 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: So if you've never done that before, maybe this is 715 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 1: the time you give it a try, so more interesting 716 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 1: stories for you next time.
