Speaker 1: Welcome to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM paranormal
Speaker 1: podcast network. Now get ready for us Strange Things with
Speaker 1: Joshua P.
Speaker 2: Warren.
Speaker 3: Welcome to our podcast. Please be aware the thoughts and

Speaker 3: and associates. We would like to encourage you to do
Speaker 3: your own research and discover the subject matter for yourself.
Speaker 2: If you get ready to be amazed by the wizard
Speaker 2: of weird. This is Strange Warren. I am Joshua B.
Speaker 1: Warren, and each week on this show, I'll be bringing
Speaker 1: it brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird
Speaker 1: experiments you can do at home, and a lot more
Speaker 1: on this edition of the show. Keep this in your
Speaker 1: wallet to attract money. Plus a ghost story.
Speaker 2: This is something that I have been meaning to.
Speaker 1: Talk about for a long time, but I wasn't quite ready.
Speaker 1: I don't think I have ever shared this story publicly
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna gonna tell you about here shortly. But
Speaker 1: first things first, I for many many years have been
Speaker 1: keeping a little piece of paper, like a little sliver
Speaker 1: of paper in my wallet with the number eight drawn
Speaker 1: on it. And since I have done that, let me
Speaker 1: tell you that wallet has never been empty.
Speaker 2: It has always been full of cash.
Speaker 1: And some of you have probably heard about the power
Speaker 1: of number eight and attracting wealth before, but I want
Speaker 1: to dig into it a little bit more with you,
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm recording this show right now in
Speaker 1: the spring, and that's when a lot of people are
Speaker 1: finally starting to get financially caught up after the holidays
Speaker 1: and wintertime. You know, everybody blows way too much money
Speaker 1: around the holidays and then and winter things slow down
Speaker 1: a lot, and so it's nice to get a little
Speaker 1: kick start if you want to start. You're generating more
Speaker 1: opportunities for money to come your way, and often I
Speaker 1: mean unexpected ways, things that you know, you can't even
Speaker 1: imagine how you're going to get any money, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a check shows up or an
Speaker 1: opportunity pops up that will allow you to make money.
Speaker 1: And when I say I have a number eight, the
Speaker 1: first time I did this, I got a little piece
Speaker 1: of paper. If that's probably like an inch by an inch,
Speaker 1: and I just took an ink pen and I just
Speaker 1: drew an eight on it and put that in my wallet.
Speaker 1: And then later on, when I realized how quickly my
Speaker 1: wallet kept filling up, I made a more permanent version.
Speaker 1: I laminated it. And I've kept at least one of
Speaker 1: those in my wallet sure enough. And I can't remember
Speaker 1: where I first heard about the power of keeping the
Speaker 1: number eight in a wallet. I know that Glennis McCants,
Speaker 1: the Numbers Lady, has talked about this on Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast AM a number of times. Of course, I even
Speaker 1: interviewed her back in the day on my show called
Speaker 1: Speaking of Strange. She's a very famous numerologist. In fact,
Speaker 1: her website is Glennis has Your Number dot com g
Speaker 1: L Y n I S. Mccant's mc c A n
Speaker 1: T S. Glennis has Your Number dot com. She talks
Speaker 1: a lot about the power of number eight to attract wealth,
Speaker 1: and I believe that right off the bat it has
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that the number eight is
Speaker 1: also used as the sign for infinity in many regards.
Speaker 1: We see it used as the infinity symbol in math.
Speaker 1: We see it used that way in a lot of technology.
Speaker 1: For example, if you use a camera, you'll often see
Speaker 1: the infinity sign there to allow you to focus properly.
Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting when you get online and you
Speaker 1: start reading about the number eight. It says here that
Speaker 1: the infinity symbol described as a sideways figure eight is
Speaker 1: unrelated to the digit eight in origin, that it's first
Speaker 1: used in the mathematical meaning infinity in the seventeenth century,
Speaker 1: and may be derived from the Roman numeral for one thousand,
Speaker 1: which looks similar to this. So they're saying that officially
Speaker 1: that the usage of the number eight as as accounting
Speaker 1: tool should not be related to this symbol being used
Speaker 1: to represent infinity. But to me, I understand how there's
Speaker 1: a difference between literally counting using numbers and just the
Speaker 1: way that the number appears to you. But this goes
Speaker 1: back to my belief in the symbology in general of
Speaker 1: how pictures appear. That it may not have to do
Speaker 1: with the fact that eight can only be used as
Speaker 1: accounting tool on you out of your ten fingers here
Speaker 1: to keep up keep track of something. That something about
Speaker 1: the way it's to pick it also triggers this idea
Speaker 1: of infinity in the brain. In fact, if you're more
Speaker 1: interested in numerology type stuff. I did an episode of
Speaker 1: this podcast called Strange Things, Episode one two. It's called
Speaker 1: can Numerology Make You Rich and Happy?
Speaker 2: Truth? So to me, Regardless of the.
Speaker 1: Historic relationship between eight as accounting tool and eight as
Speaker 1: a symbol for infinity, I think there's something about seeing
Speaker 1: this loop that it never ends, it connects back to itself,
Speaker 1: which taps in to the idea of never ending abundance
Speaker 1: flowing your way, the fact that everything in the universal
Speaker 1: is is a cycle, and everything is being recycled. And
Speaker 1: I could sit here and read to you. You know
Speaker 1: quite a bit about the history of the infinity symbol. Say,
Speaker 1: it's commonly seen going all the way back back to
Speaker 1: like Viking age, combs and tools. It's been used in
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. But it makes sense that
Speaker 1: this symbol would very simply capture the idea of money
Speaker 1: or anything flowing to you. And that is how you
Speaker 1: have to envision, just subconsciously, the idea of making money,
Speaker 1: of money flowing freely towards you. Now, I do want
Speaker 1: to point out that there are similar things. For example,
Speaker 1: you may of course know about this tale of the
Speaker 1: mythical Oro boros. This is an ancient symbol depicting a
Speaker 1: snake eating its own tail, and could also be a
Speaker 1: dragon eating its own tail. Not quite the same thing
Speaker 1: as the infinity symbol, but it's still often used as
Speaker 1: some kind of a magical representation of the cycle of
Speaker 1: life and death and of energy flowing and transforming. And
Speaker 1: I did not realize this until I just started doing research.
Speaker 1: But believe it or not, there are some snakes, such
Speaker 1: as rat snakes, that have been documented yes, consuming themselves,
Speaker 1: and so I looked a little more deeply into that,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to see some of the I
Speaker 1: started seeing pictures of this come up, and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want to see this. Says while it's unusual,
Speaker 1: some rat snakes have been observed engaging in self cannibalism,
Speaker 1: sometimes to the point of dying from it, though the
Speaker 1: reasons for this behavior are not fully understood. That's called
Speaker 1: auto cannibalism, the act of an animal consuming its own
Speaker 1: body parts, and they say that at least one captive
Speaker 1: snake was documented trying to consume itself twice, dying in
Speaker 1: the second attempt. There was another snake in the wild
Speaker 1: that was discovered having swallowed two thirds of its body.
Speaker 1: Snake experts they think this might arise from stress, confusion, malady, hunger,
Speaker 1: but they really they really don't know. And so that's
Speaker 1: just a weird thing to think about. And it also
Speaker 1: reminds me of these stories that I heard when I
Speaker 1: was growing up about the hoop snake that's part of
Speaker 1: at least where I grew up, it was part of
Speaker 1: the Appalachian Mountain folklore. And I've talked about this also
Speaker 1: before on the show when I was talking about weirdo
Speaker 1: cryptids that some Oldzheimer's say that you would occasionally be
Speaker 1: out in the mountains and you would discover a snake
Speaker 1: that would essentially put its tail in its mouth and
Speaker 1: lift itself up like a tire and come rolling down
Speaker 1: the hill at you like a big hula hoop. And
Speaker 1: at first you'd be confused, you didn't know what you
Speaker 1: were looking at, but then of course you were horrified
Speaker 1: when you saw the stripes for the coloring, and you realize,
Speaker 1: this is a snake that just springs on you at
Speaker 1: the last moment. Now, is there any truth to that?
Speaker 2: I doubt it.
Speaker 1: But when I was growing up, there was this old
Speaker 1: man who was a friend of the family, and you
Speaker 1: know we're talking about he had to have been born
Speaker 1: probably late eighteen hundreds, and he spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time up in the mountains, and he swore that he
Speaker 1: had seen a hoop snake one time, and that basically
Speaker 1: everybody was so terrified of him they just killed him out,
Speaker 1: which is why you don't find them so much anymore. So,
Speaker 1: just an interesting idea about the relationship between the Ara
Speaker 1: Boris and infinity. But let's get back to how all
Speaker 1: this might apply to you making money. Well, when we
Speaker 1: come back from our break, I'm going to share with
Speaker 1: you some of what I call a money miracle Secret.
Speaker 1: It's going to help you understand why that the number
Speaker 1: eight and your mentality about looking at money as an
Speaker 1: energy and having that represented in your wallet might help
Speaker 1: you attract more money. As you move into your year
Speaker 1: and you start planning your vacations, you start well, you
Speaker 1: know how it goes. There's always a new bill popping
Speaker 1: up for something. And if you want to go right
Speaker 1: now during the break and get my Money Miracle Secret
Speaker 1: ebook and audiobook for absolutely free, go to Moneymiraclesecret dot
Speaker 1: com Money Moneymraclesecret dot com.

Speaker 1: free online goodies that you will be able to access

Speaker 1: also have my Curiosity shop.
Speaker 2: I have Joshua pe Warren.
Speaker 1: And you're listening to Strange Things all the iHeartRadio and
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will
Speaker 1: be right back.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Strange Things.
Speaker 1: On the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: I am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren,
Speaker 2: beaming into your wormhole.
Speaker 1: Brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver.
Speaker 2: Giitato Zume.
Speaker 1: And I think that numbers are basically sigils.
Speaker 2: You know the thing about a sigil.
Speaker 1: Is it seems like the sigils that work the best
Speaker 1: are the ones that disconnect from your rational, left brain
Speaker 1: way of thinking. And what I mean by that is
Speaker 1: that we are programmed to be very analytical, especially in
Speaker 1: this day and age where we live our lives around
Speaker 1: technology that's based on such precise math. And the great
Speaker 1: thing about a sigil is that I should be able.
Speaker 1: An effective sigil is tapped into some kind of a
Speaker 1: more fundamental, cosmic or spiritual energy, so that if I
Speaker 1: look at it, even though it's abstract, it should trigger
Speaker 1: something in me, a feeling, a manifestation of something positive
Speaker 1: or negative that you could also perceive even if you
Speaker 1: came from a totally different background. So that is to say,
Speaker 1: let's say that I go on a trip to Germany
Speaker 1: and I don't speak German, and if you, I may
Speaker 1: not know what the badge of a police officer says.
Speaker 1: But if I see the badge, I know it's a
Speaker 1: police officer. That's a form of sigil, that's a form
Speaker 1: of radiotic symbolism, and so it transcends culture. Music, of course,
Speaker 1: also transcends culture and language, which is why they a
Speaker 1: lot of people say music is the universal language, and
Speaker 1: so sigils are symbols of the energy forms you might
Speaker 1: get from thing like music. Bearing that in mind, it's
Speaker 1: good to remind yourself of this once in a while.
Speaker 1: In my free ebook called five Minute Money Miracle Secret,
Speaker 1: I wrote this, Give a man a fish and he
Speaker 1: will eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish,
Speaker 1: and you feed him for a lifetime. For this to work,
Speaker 1: you must read everything carefully and thoughtfully. And by the way,
Speaker 1: this is also an audiobook, so if you're visually impaired,
Speaker 1: it still works fine. The audiobook is there on the website.
Speaker 1: Money is not a physical thing. Money is an energy.
Speaker 1: The only way to attract more of it is to
Speaker 1: improve your personal relationship with that energy. Then that energy
Speaker 1: can bring you things via money. Remember these three truths.
Speaker 1: Truth number one is money is not a physical thing,
Speaker 1: It is an energy. Truth number two is to attract
Speaker 1: more money, you must improve your relationship with money energy.
Speaker 1: And truth number three is money comes from one place,
Speaker 1: and one place only other people. I go on to say,
Speaker 1: before I explain the money Secret, let me explain a
Speaker 1: bit more about the nature of money. Money is not
Speaker 1: inherently good or bad like all powerful tools. It can
Speaker 1: be used for good or bad purposes. Think of a flame.
Speaker 1: It can provide light, keep you warm, and cook your food,
Speaker 1: but too much of it, used recklessly, can burn and
Speaker 1: destroy an entire community. If for some reason you think
Speaker 1: of money as a bad thing, you must realize you
Speaker 1: are preventing it from flowing to you. Think about the
Speaker 1: good things you can do with money. Some believe money
Speaker 1: is quote the root of all evil, citing a biblical quote,
Speaker 1: but that is a misquote. The actual quote is that
Speaker 1: love of money is the root of all evil. In
Speaker 1: other words, money is not evil, but people who glorify
Speaker 1: money for greedy purposes often perform evil selfish deeds like
Speaker 1: robberies and murders. Money itself is neutral. It is people
Speaker 1: that decide whether or not to form a responsible, positive
Speaker 1: relationship with money, attracting that to help themselves and others.
Speaker 1: Author Arnold Patent said, quote, the sole purpose of money
Speaker 1: is to express appreciation.
Speaker 2: In quote.
Speaker 1: Indeed, that is truly what the purpose of money is
Speaker 1: meant to be. Remember it. And so, if you want
Speaker 1: the universe to send more money your way, your way,
Speaker 1: what are you doing in your life for which the
Speaker 1: universe should express gratitude towards you. I think about that
Speaker 1: one more time. If you want the universe to send
Speaker 1: more money your way, what are you doing in your
Speaker 1: life for which the universe should express gratitude toward you?
Speaker 1: How much positivity and value can you bring into the
Speaker 1: world on a daily basis The answer you might be surprised.
Speaker 1: I'll give you some ideas later. In order to start
Speaker 1: quickly attracting money, you must learn to transform your idea
Speaker 1: of money from being a thing into a flow of energy.
Speaker 1: And when you think of money, do you see a
Speaker 1: dollar bill a gold coin? If you were lost in
Speaker 1: the desert, dying of hunger and thirst, a pile of
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars bills of gold coins next to you
Speaker 1: would be worthless. I own an actual, authentic one hundred
Speaker 1: trillion dollar bill. It was issued by the Government of
Speaker 1: Zimbabwe in two thousand and nine. A trillion is a
Speaker 1: million millions. There are twelve zeros in a trillion, and
Speaker 1: yet the one hundred trillion dollar bill would barely cover
Speaker 1: the cost of a loaf of bread in Zimbabwe today,
Speaker 1: the bill is worthless except people like me who purchased
Speaker 1: them off eBay as a curiosity or maybe it really
Speaker 1: has even more value than ever. It's a powerful reminder
Speaker 1: for me about what true value, true money is, instead
Speaker 1: of the worthless things we use to merely symbolize it.
Speaker 1: We so easily focus on the wrong thing. You can't
Speaker 1: attract money until you know how to focus on real money.
Speaker 1: I'll get to that soon, I promise. You must also
Speaker 1: be realistic when asking yourself how much money you really
Speaker 1: need to be happy. It's okay to want money, we
Speaker 1: all need it to survive, But do you really need
Speaker 1: a million dollars? And twenty fifteen, I published a book
Speaker 1: called Use the Force, a Jedi's Guide to the Law
Speaker 1: of Attraction. You should definitely add it to your book list.
Speaker 1: You can actually read it for free in multiple languages
Speaker 1: if you just go to Joshuapwarren dot com and click
Speaker 1: on the book cover. In the book, I recounted the
Speaker 1: sad story of an Illinois man who won a twenty
Speaker 1: million dollar lottery in nineteen ninety six. He was very
Speaker 1: generous with his money, lavishing gifts on his friends and
Speaker 1: loved ones. However, his sister in law and her boyfriend
Speaker 1: wanted more. They kidnapped him. Initially with the ransom plan. However,
Speaker 1: things went awry and they shot him in the head,
Speaker 1: killing him. These tragic stories are far too common among
Speaker 1: those who suddenly receive extraordinary amounts of money. It becomes
Speaker 1: a curse. All the problems the money was meant to
Speaker 1: solve can quickly transform into much more serious problems. That
Speaker 1: is another reason you should think very carefully about how
Speaker 1: much you really need to attain a reasonable amount of
Speaker 1: happiness and liberty. And now let's move on to the
Speaker 1: technique that will allow abundance to start flowing your way quickly.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm going to read to you from this
Speaker 1: free ebook, and again you can listen to it as
Speaker 1: well as as a free audiobook, and then it comes
Speaker 1: with tones. Go right now. If you've already signed up
Speaker 1: from a free e newsletter, then you should have received
Speaker 1: a copy of this. If you go to moneymraclesecret dot
Speaker 1: com and you sign up, just put your email address
Speaker 1: in there. You should receive an email to you. Or
Speaker 1: if you want to email me because you can't find
Speaker 1: your link or whatever, that's fine. You'll find my email
Speaker 1: address also at Joshua P. Warren dot com. This is
Speaker 1: why I think that maybe that infinity symbol is so
Speaker 1: important because if you really accept that money is the
Speaker 1: product of an energy of relationships.
Speaker 2: Then you will see.
Speaker 1: Why having something like a symbol for infinity so beautifully
Speaker 1: matches with that concept of this perpetual abundance flow to you.
Speaker 1: But it's also a give and take relationship that you
Speaker 1: are putting out something of value that creates the reaction
Speaker 1: and sends things of value back to you. It's that
Speaker 1: symbiotic relationship between you and how the society works, and
Speaker 1: to some extent, some extent, that's always how it worked,
Speaker 1: even even among the animals of the forest.
Speaker 2: It's always give and take. And when you think about the.
Speaker 1: Idea that everything exists within some realm of flowing energy,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's invisible to us. Our senses just can't
Speaker 1: grasp it, and sometimes there are tools that allow us
Speaker 1: to catch glimpses of it. This kind of thinking, opening
Speaker 1: our minds takes us closer and closer to actually being
Speaker 1: able to look into and document this so called spirit realm.
Speaker 1: And I conducted some ghost investigations. I guess the first
Speaker 1: one was about six years ago, and then I conducted
Speaker 1: the second one about four years ago here in Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: at a location that I don't think I've ever really
Speaker 1: talked about. I did something I had never done before,
Speaker 1: and that's saying.
Speaker 2: A lot for me.
Speaker 1: And as you know, I am working on an experiment
Speaker 1: right now to try to open a portal here in Nevada,
Speaker 1: and so I figure before I move on to telling
Speaker 1: you how that's going, let me just tell you about
Speaker 1: this other experiment that I did to try to see
Speaker 1: if I could actually capture definitive scientific proof of a
Speaker 1: ghost once and for all. And ask yourself, what would
Speaker 1: that have to be for you? If you don't believe
Speaker 1: in ghosts, what would you need to see as evidence
Speaker 1: to prove to you that ghosts and spirits are real?
Speaker 1: Think about that. During the break, I'm Joshua Pete Warren.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio and
Speaker 1: Ghoast to Coast am Paranormal podcast Network, and I'll be
Speaker 1: back after these important messages. Welcome back to Strange Things, Bob,
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio and Coast of a Paranormal podcast Network.
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the
Speaker 1: show where.
Speaker 2: The unusual becomes usual. Man.
Speaker 1: Speaking of spring, it's always when my allergies start to
Speaker 1: bother me. Even out here in the desert. It was
Speaker 1: pretty bad though, growing up in the mountains of Asheville,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Of course, I wrote a book called Haunted Ashville.
Speaker 1: It was published when I was still a teenager, and
Speaker 1: a number of other books. But when I was in
Speaker 1: my early twenties, I investigated a house in Ashville where
Speaker 1: the young lady who lived there had been seeing some
Speaker 1: type of apparitional figure moving around. And I've told this
Speaker 1: story before. It's really started freaking her out when it
Speaker 1: would start appearing in her bedroom at night. And one
Speaker 1: day I was in the attic of this house with
Speaker 1: another researcher named Rob, and Rob said, Josh, look, I'd
Speaker 1: been getting all kinds of strange electromagnetic and electrostatic fluctuations.
Speaker 1: But when I turned there was this kind of blue gray,
Speaker 1: misty form about the size of maybe a softball, sort
Speaker 1: of hovering right there in the air. And I was
Speaker 1: just dumbfounded. He was looking at it from one point
Speaker 1: of view, I was looking at it from another. We
Speaker 1: even reached out and touched it. It felt cold, and
Speaker 1: then right as it started to dim, I took a
Speaker 1: photograph of it and it showed up in the picture,
Speaker 1: it wasn't in its full ast form because you know,
Speaker 1: I guess say, I was mesmerized, but I got a
Speaker 1: picture this thing, and I was so excited. But afterward
Speaker 1: I was frustrated because I thought, you know, even though
Speaker 1: I have a picture of this thing, that doesn't really
Speaker 1: prove that ghosts are real, because I don't have a
Speaker 1: ghost trap like the Ghostbusters that I can suck the
Speaker 1: ghost into and then release it later into a jar
Speaker 1: in the museum. And you know, you take a picture
Speaker 1: of something and people will say, well, this could be
Speaker 1: an optical illusion. It could be this or that, And
Speaker 1: so I really thought a lot about like what is
Speaker 1: the best we could do to try to capture evidence
Speaker 1: that this is a real phenomenon. You know, both Rob
Speaker 1: and I were seeing the same thing from two different
Speaker 1: points of view. We both touched it, I photographed it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, what else do you have to do?
Speaker 1: And then a few years after that, I was at
Speaker 1: the Haunted Grove Park Inn in Asheville with my team
Speaker 1: and our visual and photographic specialist Brian Irish was with me.
Speaker 1: We were in the Palm Core, an area haunted often
Speaker 1: by the Pink Lady, among other apparitions, And Brian and
Speaker 1: I were standing side by side, and we each had
Speaker 1: digital cameras, and I can't remember if we coordinated this
Speaker 1: or if it just happened accidentally, but I took a
Speaker 1: picture looking in one direction, and he took a picture
Speaker 1: looking in the same direction about one second after I did.
Speaker 1: So we had two pictures of this same area, made
Speaker 1: with two different cameras from two slightly different points of view.
Speaker 1: And when we looked at our pictures, we had both
Speaker 1: captured a big, glowing or block anomaly there. And to me,
Speaker 1: it seemed like this was kind of almost like a
Speaker 1: three D picture of a ghost, because reflections and glares
Speaker 1: and things like that are not usually they don't usually
Speaker 1: look the same way from different angles. And by looking
Speaker 1: at something from two different angles, you're able to tell
Speaker 1: a lot about its physical dimensions, how big it is
Speaker 1: a relationship to other things, how high it is up
Speaker 1: in the air. There's just a lot more information there.
Speaker 1: But what would be fantastic would be to have a
Speaker 1: ghost photographed from oh about five or six different angles,
Speaker 1: and that way you could really it seems proved that
Speaker 1: you had something there. It reminds you of you know,
Speaker 1: the technology like they use in the matrix movies when
Speaker 1: the character jumps up to the ear and the character
Speaker 1: stands still, but the camera sweeps around three hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty degrees. That's what it would be like. If you
Speaker 1: could get a ring of cameras and you could have
Speaker 1: a ghost appear in the middle of that ring, and
Speaker 1: it got captured on all the cameras, then you could
Speaker 1: construct something out of that that would basically be almost
Speaker 1: incontestinble roof that you captured something that was there in
Speaker 1: that external environment. That may be, you know, the holy
Speaker 1: grail of ghost hunting other than some form of reliable communication.
Speaker 1: So for years I've been looking at places where I
Speaker 1: might have the highest chances of setting up an experiment
Speaker 1: where I have literally, like I say, six or seven cameras,
Speaker 1: they're all centered on one controlled space that's supposed to
Speaker 1: be haunted, and in the middle of that space, I
Speaker 1: have a variety of scientific tools so that if we
Speaker 1: do capture something on all the cameras and the tools
Speaker 1: are triggering at the same time, picking up electro electromagnetic fields,
Speaker 1: electrostatic fields, vibrations, temperature anomalies, etc. Then you could put
Speaker 1: all that together and you could basically say, look, this
Speaker 1: is proof of ghosts, that whatever a ghost is, this
Speaker 1: is a real manifestation here. I'd been on the search
Speaker 1: for a long time for a place that I thought
Speaker 1: would give me high chances of that, and I finally
Speaker 1: learned about this old, run down motel here in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas called the Oasis Motel. This motel apparently was built
Speaker 1: back in the early nineteen fifties, making it a real
Speaker 1: anomaly around here because they tear stuff down here and
Speaker 1: rebuild and make new stuff, you know, left and right.
Speaker 1: It is an old rundown property. I don't even know
Speaker 1: how much longer it's going to continue being there. I'm
Speaker 1: surprised it's still there. The address is seventeen thirty one
Speaker 1: South Las Vegas Boulevard, number one thirty one, the Oasis Motel.
Speaker 1: And I started hearing after I moved to Las Vegas
Speaker 1: that there was a very prominent ghost in one of
Speaker 1: the rooms. An actor had killed himself. The actor's name
Speaker 1: was David Strickland. He was born in nineteen sixty nine
Speaker 1: and he died in nineteen ninety nine, and he was
Speaker 1: best known for playing the role of reporter on the
Speaker 1: NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan. I'm sure some of you remember
Speaker 1: that it starred Brooke Shields, and he apparently was doing
Speaker 1: very well for himself. I mean, he'd been on You,
Speaker 1: had guest starred on shows like Roseanne, Mad About You.
Speaker 1: I mean, it seemed like he was doing very well.
Speaker 1: But they say that he suffered from a bipolar disorder
Speaker 1: and he had long and troubled history of drug and
Speaker 1: alcohol abuse. Five months before he died, he was arrested
Speaker 1: for cocaine possession. That kind of thing was sort of
Speaker 1: you know, in and out of rehab, and so on
Speaker 1: March twenty second, nineteen ninety nine, he was found dead,
Speaker 1: age twenty nine. They say that it all began on
Speaker 1: March twentieth, David Strickland and the comedian Andy Dick flew
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and spent three nights
Speaker 1: partying in strip clubs. After checking into a motel, he
Speaker 1: spent time with well they say, a prostitute consumed six
Speaker 1: bottles of beer and then hanged himself with a bed
Speaker 1: sheet over the ceiling beam, so they found him found
Speaker 1: him there the next morning. His body was discovered by
Speaker 1: a private investigator hired by Brooks Shields, and so very
Speaker 1: very tragic. As a matter of fact, a lot of
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of Andy Dick, I won't get into it,
Speaker 1: but you know that he's had a lot of bad luck,
Speaker 1: it seems like in his life as well. So I
Speaker 1: started looking into it, and I believe I found that
Speaker 1: even Zach Beagans had once gone there and started researching
Speaker 1: this room because everybody said he committed suicide and room
Speaker 1: number twenty, Room number twenty, that's where you'd want to go.
Speaker 1: That's where his body was found hanging, Room number twenty.
Speaker 2: Well, I went.
Speaker 1: Over there one day, and you never know what kind
Speaker 1: of a reaction you're going to get from people at
Speaker 1: the front desk, so I had to be kind of
Speaker 1: careful about how I approached this. I walked into the
Speaker 1: office with one of those offices where the employees are
Speaker 1: behind a bulletproof glass or a crylic and I started
Speaker 1: inquiring about specifically renting room number twenty. And she looks
Speaker 1: at me and says, are you a ghost hunter? And
Speaker 1: I said, oh, well, I would never admit to that,
Speaker 1: you know, And she goes, that's okay, she said, you know,
Speaker 1: the the boss doesn't like talking about that sort of thing,
Speaker 1: but she says, yeah, we have reports all the time
Speaker 1: from number twenty. And she said, but we probably have
Speaker 1: even more from room number six. She said, a room
Speaker 1: number six is so haunted. There's some kind of a
Speaker 1: ghost of a woman in there, and she throws objects
Speaker 1: around like a poultry. Guys, it's so haunted.
Speaker 2: She said.
Speaker 1: They can't even get housekeeping to go in there and
Speaker 1: clean room number six. They got to pull teeth. They
Speaker 1: have to pay extra money, They have to convince them
Speaker 1: to go into rooms room number six. So I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I was going to come here and set up my
Speaker 1: rig and room number twenty, but maybe I'll start with
Speaker 1: room number six. So sure enough, I spent a lot
Speaker 1: of money and bought a whole brand new rig. I
Speaker 1: think it was seven cameras. I even refreshed the latest
Speaker 1: new equipment, and I was able to room number six.
Speaker 1: Went over there in the afternoon, set up everything in
Speaker 1: a big ring, focused on the bed in the middle
Speaker 1: where all the instruments were, and I left everything recording
Speaker 1: and I came back, oh about twelve hours later, which
Speaker 1: was as long as I could record at that time.
Speaker 1: When we return I'll tell you what my results were.
Speaker 1: And then also I think I have a story to
Speaker 1: share with you, another ghost story from Ashville about a
Speaker 1: woman who says, be careful what you wish for. I'm
Speaker 1: Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back. Welcome back to the final segment.
Speaker 1: Of this edition of Strange Things by iHeartRadio and Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. So I got
Speaker 2: room six and I set up every camera you know.
Speaker 2: I don't even remember how many cameras I put.
Speaker 1: This was twenty nineteen, and I had full spectrum cameras.
Speaker 1: I had camera shooting into the infrared night vision UV.
Speaker 1: They were all electronic. I did not have like a
Speaker 1: film motion picture camera, even though I have used those
Speaker 1: in the past. I stuffed cameras all over that room
Speaker 1: from every angle you can possibly conceive of, all focused
Speaker 1: on the middle of the room. I had a big
Speaker 1: needle there with a lightweight piece of paper shaped like
Speaker 1: a pyramid balanced on top of it, so I could
Speaker 1: see if there were air currents that were flowing. Right
Speaker 1: in the middle was an instrument pack, a number of
Speaker 1: instrument packs that could pick up a wide variety of
Speaker 1: electromagnetic frequencies, electrostatic charges, vibrations, temperature fluctuations. I mean, I
Speaker 1: had audio recorders. I'm telling you, this was like my
Speaker 1: ultimate attempt at setting all this stuff up focused on
Speaker 1: this one area. I thought, if something uppears in the
Speaker 1: middle of this room and it's documented on all of
Speaker 1: these cameras and the equipment's responding, like, this is going
Speaker 1: to make history. So I left it there again probably
Speaker 1: at least twelve hours, went picked everything.
Speaker 2: Up, so this is going to take a long time
Speaker 2: to analyze it.
Speaker 1: Brought everything back to my office and I started going
Speaker 1: through the process of looking at each and every one
Speaker 1: and I didn't get anything. And you know, there were
Speaker 1: times when I would see some electromagnetic flux, but that
Speaker 1: could just be because an airplane flew over or something.
Speaker 1: Because I was using very sensitive equipment, there are times
Speaker 1: where I would hear a little noise like a bump
Speaker 1: or a crack or something, and occasionally it would coincide
Speaker 1: with the EMF. But still it wasn't like I heard
Speaker 1: a voice or anything. It was a lot of work.
Speaker 1: It was very disappointing.
Speaker 2: So I went back.
Speaker 1: Two years later and I had bought even more sophisticated equipment,
Speaker 1: and this time I said, all right, I'm going to
Speaker 1: do it in room number twenty where David Strickland committed suicide.
Speaker 2: It was so eerie it was. It was a very
Speaker 2: it was a cold winter day, very very dry, crairy,
Speaker 2: you know where you can hear that stack like Christy crackling.
Speaker 2: Go into this little shabby room and there was the
Speaker 2: beam where he had, you know, from which he had
Speaker 2: hanged himself, and it was just it almost made me sick,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, being in just the feeling
Speaker 2: of depression in that room.
Speaker 1: So I set up all of my gear. It did
Speaker 1: the same thing when picked it up, sat down. Took
Speaker 1: me a couple of days to analyze it, and again.
Speaker 2: I didn't really get anything.
Speaker 1: Now, Like I say, there were some times, for yes,
Speaker 1: there was some weird noises, some weird electromagnetic flux, but
Speaker 1: I'm looking for something very very tangible and very solid
Speaker 1: at this point and my ghost hunting career and I
Speaker 1: don't go doing a lot of ghost investigations. But I
Speaker 1: didn't get anything on those investigations. And I know you're
Speaker 1: you're sitting there thinking like, well, that's a that's a
Speaker 1: bummer story, Josh, Why did you tell us that? Well,
Speaker 1: here is why I believe that it's still possible for
Speaker 1: one of you out there to use this approach to
Speaker 1: make history. If you if now that I put this
Speaker 1: idea in your head, here's how you have to do this.
Speaker 1: And it's certainly possible that a lot of these ghosts
Speaker 1: cannot even be photographed with current technology, that we do
Speaker 1: not have the ability to do that visually. You know
Speaker 1: Nikola Tesla was he basically invented X rays. He didn't
Speaker 1: get the credit for it. He but a guy named Rogan,
Speaker 1: who studied Tesla's work, got the credit for it. But
Speaker 1: Tesla figured out how to capture images of people's bones
Speaker 1: inside their body. He called them shadow graphs, and it
Speaker 1: was like, how did this guy do that? I know
Speaker 1: that they're there are things that cannot be captured with
Speaker 1: current technology, but I also know there are things that
Speaker 1: can be Because I bet you if I'd had that
Speaker 1: same setup in that attic but that misappeared, that would
Speaker 1: have done it. That would have been the proof we're
Speaker 1: looking for, at least for most people, and I would
Speaker 1: have been able to turn all of it over to
Speaker 1: analysts and have them examine it skeptically and all that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. But I am still going to attempt
Speaker 1: this from time to time. But I was being very
Speaker 1: secretive about it because I wanted, frankly, to get the
Speaker 1: credit for being the first person to capture a ghost
Speaker 1: this way. But at this point, I don't even care
Speaker 1: about being the first person. I just want I care
Speaker 1: about the research. I want to know that we can
Speaker 1: prove that the ghosts are there. Let's get past that
Speaker 1: blockage so that we can start working more on how
Speaker 1: these work in society, what these things are. I have
Speaker 1: a message from a woman in Asheville, Sarah Harrison, telling
Speaker 1: me about an event that happened to her there in
Speaker 1: Asheville in two thousand and nine. Of course, one of
Speaker 1: the most haunted places in Ashville is Helen's Bridge, and
Speaker 1: the story is whether it's true or not that my
Speaker 1: woman named Helen hanged herself on that bridge sometime in
Speaker 1: the late eighteen hundreds or early nineteen hundreds, and that
Speaker 1: she haunts that area as well. As the nearby castle
Speaker 1: called Zelandia. They say she did it because she was
Speaker 1: distraught over the death of her daughter. Whether or not
Speaker 1: that is true, and I did write about that haunted Ashville.
Speaker 1: We have discovered that there were a lot of other
Speaker 1: deaths there associated with the castle, including the death of
Speaker 1: a man who committed suicide near that bridge.
Speaker 2: He was a workman. But here's what she wrote.
Speaker 1: This tale is one that teaches the lesson be careful
Speaker 1: what you wish for, especially who you want to visit
Speaker 1: you from an otherworldly realm. I'm the leader of a
Speaker 1: paranormal group in Ashville, North Carolina. The members of the Hickory,
Speaker 1: North Carolina group were visiting and wished to see a
Speaker 1: local infamous haunt named Helen's Bridge. We drove up Bouquetcher
Speaker 1: Mountain and two cars my team and one the Hickory
Speaker 1: group and the other. The leader of the Hickory group
Speaker 1: had brought along his teenage brother, and as we were
Speaker 1: exploring Helen's Bridge, the younger brother ran up and down
Speaker 1: the bridge, yelling Helen come forth, over and over. After
Speaker 1: a while, we decided to head down the mountain for
Speaker 1: spirits of another kind. I drove my car down first,
Speaker 1: with the other car following. The people in my car
Speaker 1: saw nothing out of the ordinary. As we reached the bottom,
Speaker 1: the other car pulled over. Everyone in the second car
Speaker 1: was shaking, and pell the kid brother was wide eyed
Speaker 1: and speechless for the first time that night. The story
Speaker 1: they told was chilling. As they were driving down the mountain,
Speaker 1: a woman came out of the woods. She had on
Speaker 1: a long dress and had long hair, but the worst
Speaker 1: part was her face. It was contorted and hideous, like
Speaker 1: something out of a horror movie. It was too grotesque
Speaker 1: to be a human being. And they left, swearing never
Speaker 1: to visit Helen's Bridge again. I've returned to Helen's Bridge
Speaker 1: many times since that night, and I've wondered if Helen
Speaker 1: was there, floating just out of reach of my senses.
Speaker 1: I do know that I will never again say those
Speaker 1: three words, Helen, come forth. Thank you, Sarah for that story.
Speaker 1: You know what I So many people have told me
Speaker 1: over the years about Helen's stories. I could probably do
Speaker 1: a whole podcast about the Helen's Bridge. I myself had
Speaker 1: an experience up there one night where I pulled under
Speaker 1: the bridge and said, Helen come forth, and immediately the
Speaker 1: alternator died on my car and I was stranded up
Speaker 1: there about midnight on this foggy October night. This was
Speaker 1: back before cell phones. I had to walk down that
Speaker 1: mountain alone. I'm telling you all these stories, they're going
Speaker 1: to prove to be real someday. We just need the
Speaker 1: proper approach, the proper technique, proper technology. Just have about
Speaker 1: a minute left. Here's some mental manna for you, going
Speaker 1: back to word origins. You know people say, oh, I
Speaker 1: saw the ghost, and then I made a bee line
Speaker 1: for the door. Why do people say they make a
Speaker 1: bee line when they mean they're running in a straight line,
Speaker 1: Because you think that they would say, well, I am
Speaker 1: a you know, you think a B line would be
Speaker 1: in the shape of it be maybe kind of like
Speaker 1: the figure eight. Turns out, from what I've read, it's
Speaker 1: called a B line because it's not named after the
Speaker 1: letter B. It's named after the insect b ee. That apparently,
Speaker 1: bees are so effective and productive that they always are
Speaker 1: able to take the most straight and direct path right
Speaker 1: back to the hive. And that, my friends, is why
Speaker 1: they say we call that straight dash back to a
Speaker 1: place a bee line. All right, you know what time
Speaker 1: it is? If you can close your eyes, take a
Speaker 1: deep breath, let's all meditate on making next week the
Speaker 1: best week ever for you and everybody else listening here.
Speaker 1: It is the one, the only, the original, the world
Speaker 1: famous good fortune tone. That's it for this edition of
