Speaker 1: my heart, and she actually has worked at the Hollywood
Speaker 1: Improv Comedy Club for years, and we have had some
Speaker 1: reports there of some paranormal like phenomenon I have also.
Speaker 1: I also wanted to tell you real quick that I
Speaker 1: was in San Francisco last weekend and I had some
Speaker 1: I had a good time. I went to a couple
Speaker 1: of haunted places. I stayed in the Haunted Hotel, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to be making a video that I'll post
Speaker 1: and you can see a little bit of my paranormal adventures.
Speaker 1: But nothing happened paranormal, but I did get some good,
Speaker 1: some good paranormal tea. And oh. I went to the
Speaker 1: Winchester Mystery House and I went on the tour and
Speaker 1: we had a great tour guide and he kept calling
Speaker 1: ghosts ugly booglies, and because of that, I'm full on
Speaker 1: snatching that and I will be referring to ghosts as
Speaker 1: ugly booglies from here on out. So please enjoyed this
Speaker 1: episode with the amazing Rita Piazza. You guys, I am
Speaker 1: joined by somebody truly that I feel is like family
Speaker 1: to me. And if you may not have heard of
Speaker 1: her before, but you're gonna fall in love. She is
Speaker 1: a true Hollywood legend. She is an icon of stand
Speaker 1: up comedy. Behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: Rita pa byz Rita.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Rita is the what is your title now? Now?
Speaker 3: I am Talent and Development. But I was a general manager.
Speaker 1: Of the world famous Hollywood Improv, which is my favorite
Speaker 1: comedy club, no offense to any others. It's the place
Speaker 1: where I've had my show for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: And I was a door person there. Yes, you were,
Speaker 1: and so I've known you for quite a few number of.
Speaker 3: You what year did you start?
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty twelve. I was there until twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: I was my last job job.
Speaker 3: I remember interviewing you and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: we need this, we need this kid on our team.
Speaker 3: And then you remember you were an artist too. You
Speaker 3: drew a really fucked up picture of poor Jay and
Speaker 3: Paige and myself. I saw it above my dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, well that's okay. So for anyone that doesn't
Speaker 1: know the Hollywood Improv, first of all, I've found that
Speaker 1: anytime you bring up the Hollywood, you bring up the
Speaker 1: Improv or any of the improv clubs, which it is
Speaker 1: a chain. People think, oh, Improv, but it's no it's
Speaker 1: like it's stand up and especially the Hollywood Improv. It's
Speaker 1: like the like Mecca. It's just the place for the
Speaker 1: biggest stand up stand up comedians in the world. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like such a Hollywood hot spot and it's like
Speaker 1: like I've been there. I remember one time I was there,
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga was sitting there watching Jerry Seinfeld on like
Speaker 1: a Tuesday night, right, And that's just a Tuesday night.
Speaker 3: It really is a special little place. It's we I mean,
Speaker 3: you know what, it's like you were there with us.
Speaker 3: We're like a little family there. It is a profound
Speaker 3: little place. It's not a job, it's a lifestyle to us.
Speaker 3: But Bud started his first room. Bud Friedman is our founder,
Speaker 3: and you know he has the monocle. He hosted a
Speaker 3: and he's evening at the improv for you know, the
Speaker 3: younger peeps.
Speaker 1: And there's that good documentary about the clubs. Yes, that's
Speaker 1: on Behind the Brick Wall. I want to say, it's
Speaker 1: called it on Epex.
Speaker 3: It's an epic special.
Speaker 1: You might be able to find on Amazon Prime or
Speaker 1: one of those. It's definitely streaming.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has our whole story there, but it's just incredible.
Speaker 3: He started it in nineteen sixty three in New York
Speaker 3: on forty fourth Street, and then in nineteen seventy five
Speaker 3: he goes, let's go west, young man, and he opened
Speaker 3: it up there and yeah, it's where it started off
Speaker 3: as more of a cabaret place, and he had singers
Speaker 3: like he managed Bette Midler. Dustin Hoffman would play the piano,
Speaker 3: Barry Manilow played the piano, and then a comic one
Speaker 3: day said Hey, I want to come up and do
Speaker 3: some time, and then it just sort of gradually, you know,
Speaker 3: he knew he was onto something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's like where Robin Williams and Jay Len,
Speaker 1: I mean everyone.
Speaker 3: And you know, we Paige and I went and had
Speaker 3: dinner with some old school people that were there in
Speaker 3: the eighties and they were talking about you know, Belushi
Speaker 3: in Bruce Willis and it was just really the place
Speaker 3: where everybody hung out.
Speaker 1: And still and not only just the biggest comedians in
Speaker 1: the world. Like I think I've seen or met every
Speaker 1: pop diva there. I've seen them all there. I think
Speaker 1: brat Are Miley, I mean everyone.
Speaker 3: Pete Davison was there with Ariana and they had like
Speaker 3: six people and we were over sold, so we smashed
Speaker 3: them into the first show. But my question was are
Speaker 3: they going to go to the second show? Because we
Speaker 3: were turning the room and getting ready for the second show,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh fuck, like this is going to
Speaker 3: be Sardine's in here and Page. I was yelling at
Speaker 3: Page like through text and the.
Speaker 1: Booker Page, who happens to be here?
Speaker 3: And they're just being quite like low mouse. But I go, Paige,
Speaker 3: are they staying for the Sint ten o'clock show? She's
Speaker 3: like checking? And then I waited, like, you know, another
Speaker 3: five minutes, Page texting her are they staying? I need
Speaker 3: to know if I need to hold this booth. We're fucked,
Speaker 3: like we're over sold. I don't know. And then finally
Speaker 3: I saw her. We were like asking each other in
Speaker 3: the lab and I yelled at her Page will you
Speaker 3: please check? And she yells back over the both rooms
Speaker 3: returning and she goes, I don't know. They're making out
Speaker 3: in the green room. I can't ask them. And I
Speaker 3: remember our miyes just met and I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 3: It was always like those fun little.
Speaker 1: Ant yeah yeah, well okay, so we could talk about celebrity.
Speaker 1: I mean literally, you could talk about celebrities for hours
Speaker 1: that we've all encountered at the Improv. But a lot
Speaker 1: of people don't know about is that there's some visitors
Speaker 1: from the other side. I now, this is not a
Speaker 1: known place for being haunted. Like the comedy store up
Speaker 1: the street is definitely known as a haunted percent, but
Speaker 1: the Improv, I don't know that people know about that.
Speaker 1: I do remember a couple of years ago, I think
Speaker 1: it was after I worked there. You guys told me
Speaker 1: that Taps came in from the TV show ghost Hunters
Speaker 1: and did now what was that all about?
Speaker 3: So they contacted us. It was really I didn't expect
Speaker 3: it at all, and they contacted us and they just
Speaker 3: wanted to come through, and they like had all these
Speaker 3: lights and this equipment, and we literally spent the night there.
Speaker 3: It was me, Page and uh Nicole was there. We
Speaker 3: had when we were all like, we stayed till like
Speaker 3: five o'clock in the morning, and we did the upstairs
Speaker 3: the new green room, which I've never felt anything there.
Speaker 1: Which where is that in the above the lab? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like where.
Speaker 3: You go and you hang out for your shows. And
Speaker 3: they went there. We went into the showroom and Bud
Speaker 3: Friedman had an old and they were like asking questions
Speaker 3: of people, and they had like these cool lights that
Speaker 3: would like light up. Remember, we were like asking questions
Speaker 3: and Bud had His assistant was fran Cowan. She was amazing.
Speaker 3: I think she passed at like ninety five years old,
Speaker 3: but she'd always wear these big heels. She was very
Speaker 3: always had her lash's done. She was one. When I
Speaker 3: was thirty years old, she told me I had jowls
Speaker 3: like she had, like you know she was. She was
Speaker 3: like very young, hard She's like, you need to go
Speaker 3: see somebody have jowls. Oh my god, Like I don't
Speaker 3: have gowls. I'm thirty, Franny. But anyway, she had just
Speaker 3: passed a couple of years before and they asked like
Speaker 3: his Fran, are you here? And the light went on
Speaker 3: in the on the main stage, but they went up
Speaker 3: to the mezzanine. All my experiences have been in the mezzanine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I only had one, but it was up
Speaker 1: there too. Which is so you're talking about. If you
Speaker 1: go into the venue, you go into like the restaurant, bar,
Speaker 1: the upstairs.
Speaker 3: Right like as soon as you walk into the main
Speaker 3: the front door, you'll see a set of stairs, a
Speaker 3: staircase that goes up. Now up we call that the mezzanine.
Speaker 3: And it used to be where there were booths and
Speaker 3: there were dining tables up there, so we could feed
Speaker 3: people like an overflow. People would eat up there. But
Speaker 3: then if you went to the left, now there's a
Speaker 3: full wall, but it used to be a pony wall,
Speaker 3: like a half wall. And then if you went to
Speaker 3: the left, looked like a little lounge area. We had
Speaker 3: a we had booked the shelves in there, they were
Speaker 3: built in, and we had a sofa. And then right
Speaker 3: there was the entrance to our office. And remember our office,
Speaker 3: you had to like go down and duck under the wall.
Speaker 3: That was Bud's office, everybody's office for years and years
Speaker 3: until we moved to the other side. But that was
Speaker 3: our office for years and up against the on the
Speaker 3: other side of that. I know, it's hard to explain.
Speaker 3: Is the main showroom, Yeah, but it's upstairs. So that
Speaker 3: whole mezzanine area is where my experiences have happened.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's hear some stories. Okay, So what was
Speaker 1: your first experience at the Hollywood and Braze So.
Speaker 3: I transferred in in ninety nine and I was twenty
Speaker 3: eight years old. And my boss at the time, you know,
Speaker 3: Melrose at Melrose Area were open till two and then
Speaker 3: by the time you're doing paperwork, you know, it's three,
Speaker 3: three thirty four o'clock in the morning. My boss at
Speaker 3: the time said he was very serious. He said, rita
Speaker 3: Melrose changes after a certain time, right like the alleyway.
Speaker 3: The alley's right behind us, and he said, I will
Speaker 3: if I catch you here alone, I will fire you.
Speaker 3: He was very clear with me. And I feel like
Speaker 3: as I've been talking to more and more people, people
Speaker 3: didn't believe me at first, but the more I talk
Speaker 3: to people, it seems like these this is happening to
Speaker 3: people that are new there, because all of this is
Speaker 3: kind of in my first two years. Because now when
Speaker 3: i'm alone there, I feel very I feel like when
Speaker 3: they realize that you're supposed to be there, that it's
Speaker 3: very comforting to me now. But it wasn't then.
Speaker 1: I had no clue that it was haunted. I didn't
Speaker 1: think about it being haunted nothing. And when I worked
Speaker 1: there as a door person, one of your jobs is
Speaker 1: to make sure all the doors are locked. At the
Speaker 1: end of the night and and I guess, you know,
Speaker 1: make sure that there's not people creeping or I don't know.
Speaker 1: So I went to that upstairs that we're talking about,
Speaker 1: and I noticed that the one door was like slightly
Speaker 1: open the door if you go up the stairs, and
Speaker 1: one on the left that's like a little green room.
Speaker 1: That door was open, and so I went to shut it,
Speaker 1: and I thought I locked it, but I went to
Speaker 1: shut it, and then I walked down and I'd shut
Speaker 1: off the lights, and I was going down the stairs
Speaker 1: in the restaurant bar and I heard the door creak
Speaker 1: open and so and I like stopped and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: because it's not like a door that like it's you know,
Speaker 1: you shut it and it locks in or whatever, like
Speaker 1: it's not going to just open. So I thought that
Speaker 1: was kind of weird. And then I went to walk
Speaker 1: back up and it shut, like it shut real abruptly.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that was all about. But
Speaker 1: then I remember I went to you well, I went
Speaker 1: to like Jay, the manager, and I was like, is
Speaker 1: this place haunted? And he was like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: Rita said a couple of things before and then I
Speaker 1: talked to you, and you're like, bitch, I got stories.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. That area that you're describing, right at
Speaker 3: the top landing of the staircase is literally where all
Speaker 3: my stuff comes from. My first one was I was
Speaker 3: alone there one night. I was not balancing. I knew
Speaker 3: I was going to be. They're recounting the money, and
Speaker 3: I let and it was right when I started when
Speaker 3: he warned me, and I let the door guy go
Speaker 3: because he was exhausted and I was counting my money,
Speaker 3: and I heard very clear footsteps coming up that staircase
Speaker 3: and to the point where I jumped up, and I
Speaker 3: was thinking, I'm fired. I don't know what I'm going
Speaker 3: to tell him, because he would go out partying, and
Speaker 3: I thought he'd just stopped by the club to check
Speaker 3: on me, and there was nobody there, Like I went
Speaker 3: running out of the office and there was nobody there.
Speaker 3: But the second situation was again I was closing, and
Speaker 3: this is you know, a few like a year later,
Speaker 3: and I was closing and I had one person there
Speaker 3: close there with me, and the same thing. I wasn't balancing.
Speaker 3: I knew I was going to take a while. And
Speaker 3: I was in my office and I said, you know what,
Speaker 3: just go ahead and take off. I'm going to be
Speaker 3: here a while. So as soon as he so, he
Speaker 3: went out the office, down the stairs, out the double
Speaker 3: front doors, and I heard the doors close, and literally,
Speaker 3: like within a minute, it sounded like roz. It sounded
Speaker 3: like four to six people in the showroom on the
Speaker 3: other side of the wall, like they were throwing furniture around.
Speaker 3: It was like moving furniture crashing, And my heart is pounding,
Speaker 3: and I thought, I literally thought that there was somebody
Speaker 3: in our club that saw him leave and thought and
Speaker 3: they thought it was they were alone and they were
Speaker 3: taking our sound equipment. I thought that we were being robbed.
Speaker 3: H And it was right on the other side of
Speaker 3: the wall and that office area. And it stopped very
Speaker 3: abruptly because because I was standing up and I said, God,
Speaker 3: did I just hear what I think I just heard?
Speaker 3: And then it was like it answered me because then
Speaker 3: again boom, boom boom. It sounded like they were throwing
Speaker 3: tables and chairs and like trying to get up high
Speaker 3: and get our lights because we have expensive shit in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I smacked my head. I went running
Speaker 3: down like out of the office and we had that
Speaker 3: half wall. I smacked my head on the wall. I
Speaker 3: almost fell down the stairs. I went running down the stairs.
Speaker 3: I had my purse and my phone. Almost fell down
Speaker 3: the stairs, straight out the door, and I went running
Speaker 3: past Fred Siegels and I called nine one one. I'm like,
Speaker 3: somebody is in my club and they are robbing us
Speaker 3: right now. Cops pull up, go to clear, they go
Speaker 3: in there. They're in there for maybe fifteen minutes, clearing
Speaker 3: the place. They come out. They look at me like
Speaker 3: I'm smoking heroin.
Speaker 1: Nothing.
Speaker 3: There was nothing. I went in there in the showroom
Speaker 3: was perfectly in place. And That's what I'm like.
Speaker 1: Now, did you have at that point? Were their cameras
Speaker 1: in the show room.
Speaker 3: No, we didn't get cameras in that club until twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: Wow. I wonder how that noise was being made if
Speaker 1: there was nothing.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It was really really scary. But my
Speaker 3: next experience, I had two experiences with shadow people right
Speaker 3: in that area. You're talking about Roz exactly in that area.
Speaker 1: Okay, what happened?
Speaker 3: So our first show about shady people like shadow people shadow,
Speaker 3: I had to look it up. It was it was so.
Speaker 1: Because I've met some shady people on Melrose. Nowadays, on Melrose,
Speaker 1: if you haven't been to Melrose in Hollywood, California, it's
Speaker 1: nothing but seventeen year olds with face tattoos that have
Speaker 1: really expensive cars and I don't know why, and they're
Speaker 1: all in line to buy new sneakers.
Speaker 3: Yeah it they.
Speaker 1: But that was not this. This was shadow people.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was running the floor and the first show
Speaker 3: was very, very busy. The second show not so much.
Speaker 3: But the first show was getting out and it was hectic.
Speaker 3: And one of my services, it was Jay, it was
Speaker 3: before he was a manager. I said, Jay, I'll meet
Speaker 3: you upstairs in a couple minutes to check you out.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like get his paperwork, get his money.
Speaker 3: But it took me a little while. So the bottom
Speaker 3: area was packed, the top area, the mezzanine, we didn't
Speaker 3: see dinners up there. It was dark, so we used
Speaker 3: to have lights up there. It was completely dark and
Speaker 3: I started walking up the stairs and right in that
Speaker 3: area that you're talking about, there used to be a
Speaker 3: half wall to the left you're walking up the stairs.
Speaker 3: I saw the outline of this person jump and like
Speaker 3: bend down, like jump around the wall like they were
Speaker 3: hiding like you know what I'm saying, like mischievous, like
Speaker 3: jumping and hiding.
Speaker 1: Like do you think they saw you? And they're like
Speaker 1: it was absolutely.
Speaker 3: They were hiding from me. Yeah. And I'm marching up
Speaker 3: the stairs and I go, Jay, I see you. You're
Speaker 3: such a butthole.
Speaker 1: I see you.
Speaker 3: You're gonna jump out and scare me. And I go
Speaker 3: up there and there's nobody there, and I could holy crap.
Speaker 3: And that was the second time that I had seen
Speaker 3: the shadow person. There.
Speaker 1: I describe the shadow person.
Speaker 3: It looks like a full It was a big. It
Speaker 3: was a male, definitely, and it was a full, like physical, solid,
Speaker 3: perfectly black outline of a person. And I didn't know
Speaker 3: they were called shadow people. I'd never experienced this until
Speaker 3: I went and researched it. I mean I literally I
Speaker 3: called my brother in law. He was going to he
Speaker 3: was gonna be a priest before he met.
Speaker 1: My sister, Oh seminary.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I called him. I'm like, do we believe in
Speaker 3: this stuff? Because all this stuff is happening and I'm
Speaker 3: I'm seeing this stuff and he said absolutely, So I
Speaker 3: had never heard of it. And then I did some
Speaker 3: research and yeah, there's a lot on shadow people. And
Speaker 3: I saw another time going up the stairs, maybe like
Speaker 3: a few months later. It went to the right, So
Speaker 3: I'm going up the stairs. It was dark and it
Speaker 3: went to the right, and I thought it was a
Speaker 3: customer because you were there. It's like sometimes people would
Speaker 3: wander up there. Yeah, And I thought a customer was
Speaker 3: up there and like lost because it walked to the
Speaker 3: right and I said, honey, do you need some lights
Speaker 3: up here? I can get you some lights up beer?
Speaker 3: What are you doing? And there was no one there.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: You think it was the same person, yes, Like the
Speaker 3: physicality of it was the same.
Speaker 1: So I think it could be a comedian. I mean,
Speaker 1: if they're mischievous like that, if they're playing tricks on you,
Speaker 1: they're making noise.
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about this before we were going to
Speaker 3: sit down, and I'm not sure because there's so many
Speaker 3: characters that sit at that bar.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 3: There's so many characters that are regulars that either wanted
Speaker 3: to be comedians or they were writers that were staples there.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a place. I mean, I certainly feel
Speaker 1: very connected to it. I mean, maybe I'll haunt it
Speaker 1: one day.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what's gonna happen when Ros haunts us.
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1: Comedian television's yaes, Sir Leicester.
Speaker 3: He was our office manager before he really know his
Speaker 3: got his took flight. Yeah, and he was our office manager,
Speaker 3: I want to say, for like two years. But he
Speaker 3: has a story as well, because I remember this exchange
Speaker 3: and he said that we could give him an.
Speaker 1: Okay, up, Let's try to call him and see what
Speaker 1: he has to say.
Speaker 3: Hello, you're there, Yes, and press hi asker Lester, okay,
Speaker 3: Hi answer, this is Ro's dress for les How are you?
Speaker 2: Let's go on on.
Speaker 1: Okay, what happened to you at the improv?
Speaker 2: Okay? So I don't know how much you been filled
Speaker 2: in on, but I was, I don't know. Close to
Speaker 2: ten years ago, I worked in the front office technically
Speaker 2: the upstairs office. I would do like the you know,
Speaker 2: the balancing of the books, the prelim balancing of the
Speaker 2: books stuff. Because of that, I came in first thing
Speaker 2: in the morning to get it ready for the managers
Speaker 2: that evening you know, you know, was the head of
Speaker 2: the club. So I would get everything during the day
Speaker 2: ready for her to handle it at night. So one
Speaker 2: morning I usually got there around, you know, between nine
Speaker 2: and nine thirty, and most times the cleaning guy his
Speaker 2: name of Jesus, he was there. But for whatever reason,
Speaker 2: this one morning, I don't know if he was late,
Speaker 2: if he didn't he had the day off or something crazy, whatever,
Speaker 2: He's not in the building. So it's just me. I'm
Speaker 2: balancing the books and keep in mind, like I am
Speaker 2: scared of like ghost stuff, but I'm not, like, since
Speaker 2: I'm not always looking for ghosts, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I think I'm doing the opposite.
Speaker 2: I'm like always trying to avoid the idea of a
Speaker 2: ghost because I don't want to be scared.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you think that this place was haunted at
Speaker 1: the time when this happened.
Speaker 2: Or did I'd heard stories? But I also I will
Speaker 2: say that I think a lot of times just with
Speaker 2: a certain whether scientifically or not, I do think certain
Speaker 2: places and you know, concentrations of energy can exist, you know.
Speaker 2: So when people said it was haunted, I was kind
Speaker 2: of like, okay, like, but I didn't. I didn't think
Speaker 2: anything of it more than you know, a second or two,
Speaker 2: you know, sure, But at this time I was spitting
Speaker 2: in the office, and so it's completely the office is
Speaker 2: completely upstairs, and to get in you would walk on
Speaker 2: a door. Then there was a half wall. Yes, we
Speaker 2: were just talking about under. Yeah, so we had to
Speaker 2: crawl under this half wall. And there's no quick way
Speaker 2: to do it. You can't get in, you can't get out,
Speaker 2: like truly in case of an emergency. It's probably it
Speaker 2: was a very dangerous thing to have.
Speaker 1: That's probably why it's not there anymore.
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting there one morning, I'm balancing the books
Speaker 2: at this point, probably like nine five in the morning.
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, I'd been up for you know, at
Speaker 2: least two or three hours. It's not like it wasn't
Speaker 2: like something I rolled out of bed and got there,
Speaker 2: or you know what I'm saying. I'm not at this point,
Speaker 2: I wasn't even drinking anymore. So there's all of the
Speaker 2: classic excuses are tossed out the window. I'm sitting there,
Speaker 2: balancing the books again, I'm by myself. To the breath
Speaker 2: I felt on my ear so I had a ceiling
Speaker 2: it literally felt it. And then someone whispered in my ear.
Speaker 2: They just went, yes, sir, They just said my name,
Speaker 2: and they said it perfectly. And again I felt the
Speaker 2: air of the dinner words on my ear, and I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, that was weird. So I turn around,
Speaker 2: reactively thinking it's Rita or like Rita in early for
Speaker 2: some reason, or Hayesus or somebody. And I turned around
Speaker 2: and there's literally no one there. Also, keep in mind,
Speaker 2: to get into the office outside of the half hole,
Speaker 2: you would have to hear them come in. It's physically
Speaker 2: impossible to sneak in and out. So I felt sick
Speaker 2: and I went, oh that was so. It took me
Speaker 2: a second because I turned around like kind of giggling,
Speaker 2: like I was a thought to catch someone and be
Speaker 2: like what are you doing? And there was no one there.
Speaker 2: And I sat there for a second and I took
Speaker 2: a very deep breath and then I ran out as
Speaker 2: fast as I could. I've never been more scared outside
Speaker 2: of like an actual danger, you know, outside the car,
Speaker 2: active or something. It was the scariest moment. I hauled.
Speaker 2: I like, I screamed for Haesus's name, but he wasn't there,
Speaker 2: because I was just trying to double check. I got outside,
Speaker 2: I stood on the curb and I don't know if
Speaker 2: Rita told you, but I called her and I was like, Rita,
Speaker 2: something is wrong. Someone just whispered my ear, whispered in
Speaker 2: my ear at the improv, I know, no one's here,
Speaker 2: and she was just like, oh, oh my god, like
Speaker 2: I'm gonna to be there as quickly as possible. And
Speaker 2: I just stood outside.
Speaker 1: Do you think it?
Speaker 2: Because I was like, I couldn't go back in. I've
Speaker 2: never I'm telling you, I was sick to my stomach terrified.
Speaker 1: Could you tell though, Like, looking back, do you think
Speaker 1: it was a male voice or a female voice or
Speaker 1: do you have any idea what kind of ghost?
Speaker 2: It was absolutely a male voice. It was unmistakably male.
Speaker 1: Because we're talking about this shadow figure ghost man up there.
Speaker 1: That sounds mischievous that Rita was telling me stories about
Speaker 1: it sounds like the same person. I don't know who
Speaker 1: that is.
Speaker 2: Though, wait for that last part again, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Who it is. We're trying to get to the bottom
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't know who it is either, but
Speaker 2: it was It was mortifying. And I've had other like
Speaker 2: I have sweet paralysis, there's other things that like in
Speaker 2: my life where I was like, was that a ghost?
Speaker 2: And it is all easily explained away, And I also
Speaker 2: truly believe that, like in most of these circumstances, you
Speaker 2: can go like you were tired or this set of
Speaker 2: circumstances led to this set right. Like most times, you
Speaker 2: can explain it away, this one, it's not just the
Speaker 2: idea that this thing said my name, because you can
Speaker 2: hear things, you know, auditory hallucinations are extremely valid and real.
Speaker 2: The problem is that I also felt the air on me.
Speaker 2: It truly, and I told Rita this before. It was
Speaker 2: it was so in my ear. I could essentially feel
Speaker 2: my ear drum rattle. It was. It was in the
Speaker 2: recesses of my body. It was the again, like when
Speaker 2: I when I talk about, like, you know, other worldly experiences,
Speaker 2: it is the first one I talk about. It is
Speaker 2: and it is weirdly something that I think on our
Speaker 2: deathbed to bind me and Rita we will talk about
Speaker 2: until until we're out of here. It was just, you know,
Speaker 2: it was just insane. It was so scary.
Speaker 3: I mean even a decade later when I because Yahser
Speaker 3: was actually you know, performing last night at our show,
Speaker 3: which you're so exciting. He was in the on the
Speaker 3: main stage, and before I left, I go, oh my god, yes,
Speaker 3: you're here. I need to go down and just you know,
Speaker 3: see if he'd be if we can call him, or
Speaker 3: if he just you know, give me remind me of
Speaker 3: all the details. And ten years later, when I said, hey,
Speaker 3: I need to talk to you in the hallway last night,
Speaker 3: I go, yes, I'm doing I'm doing a podcast tomorrow
Speaker 3: about ghosts, and his face just.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I immediately his face was like, oh my god, yes please,
Speaker 3: and I'll just I'll never forget it. He was he
Speaker 3: was literally wouldn't go back in the building. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 3: he was just I could see the blood ran out
Speaker 3: of his head.
Speaker 1: How how much longer did you work after that?
Speaker 2: I mean I haven't worked the rest of the day.
Speaker 2: It was an hour we done.
Speaker 1: But like, did you stay at the company? How much
Speaker 1: longer were you an employee?
Speaker 2: Though? Oh? Oh, I mean years? Probably another two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have been terrified the entire time I was.
Speaker 2: We talked about it constantly. We talked about it constantly.
Speaker 1: Like would you hear Rita?
Speaker 2: After that? I feel like, Rita, that's when you told
Speaker 2: me the story of like hearing the piano playing late
Speaker 2: at night and got.
Speaker 1: To that one yet have you did you hear other
Speaker 1: people telling ghost stories when you work there, not until.
Speaker 2: I told mine. I swear to you, it wasn't. It
Speaker 2: wasn't something that like, because again, had I I'm telling you,
Speaker 2: I would have written it off as like, oh, I've
Speaker 2: been predisposed to think that it's this thing, when in actuality,
Speaker 2: I was thinking a thought and the air conditioner kicked
Speaker 2: on and it like brushed against my ear, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like, there's so many things that I
Speaker 2: would have I would have written it off for. But
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, the moment I started telling people, there
Speaker 2: are people that told me, you know that as they
Speaker 2: were walking upstairs to the office one morning, that they
Speaker 2: would they saw a man like sitting at the table,
Speaker 2: and then the moment they got out there, it was gone.
Speaker 2: You know, weird things like that. But again, none of
Speaker 2: that was said until I started sharing my story. So
Speaker 2: it's almost as if we had this shared experience. But
Speaker 2: we all either are afraid of sounding crazy, you know,
Speaker 2: quote unquote, or you're just so nervous about it you
Speaker 2: don't wanna you don't want to speak it into existence,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Or you know, there's even
Speaker 2: like the idea of like making this thing mad, you know,
Speaker 2: so uh so. Yeah, Rita was the only person that
Speaker 2: knew for a long time, and it's just because I
Speaker 2: was so scared. She she was the first person I called.
Speaker 1: Well, thanks so much for.
Speaker 2: Sharing, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you. We'll talk to you later. I have
Speaker 1: a great thanks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or at least I mean people like you fortify me.
Speaker 3: Thank you, because some people are like, what, oh I
Speaker 3: love you so much?
Speaker 1: Bye bye, yeah, bye bye?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, can you believe that?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, wait, what's the piano story.
Speaker 3: The piano story is just and that's just not me.
Speaker 3: That's a shared experience where you're just up in the
Speaker 3: office and we hear the piano playing. And sometimes, like
Speaker 3: guys like Craig Robinson, you know, they like to hang
Speaker 3: out after hours. We'd like to feel, you know, like
Speaker 3: everybody's super welcome. And I don't have a problem. Somebody's
Speaker 3: down there fucking around while I'm doing the paperwork, you know,
Speaker 3: But I was alone, and I just heard the piano playing,
Speaker 3: and I'm like shit, you know, Craig, back in the day,
Speaker 3: zach Alivhanacus used to play on the piano, so I
Speaker 3: thought maybe somebody was doing it, but there was no
Speaker 3: one there. But we had one manager. His name was
Speaker 3: Big Mike, and he like ran strip clubs in Vegas
Speaker 3: and then back. He is a big, burly guy. He
Speaker 3: smoked tons of pot and like eat our pies and
Speaker 3: the the kitchen after hours. He was so funny, but
Speaker 3: he would give me shit because I was trying to
Speaker 3: tell people that this is happening to me. And we
Speaker 3: started around the same time. I feel like he started
Speaker 3: maybe a month after me, and he was just giving
Speaker 3: me shit like I was crazy. And literally he's like
Speaker 3: a big He was a big guy probably you know,
Speaker 3: six foot three, two fifty big guy. And he said,
Speaker 3: oh my god, he heard the piano playing too. It
Speaker 3: was like through the wall there in our office, It's
Speaker 3: like it's no one there, and there was no one there.
Speaker 1: Are they good at piano?
Speaker 3: No, It was just kind of like this dinking around. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it wasn't like you know, Bach or anything, but yeah.
Speaker 1: So was it Sebastian Bob at.
Speaker 3: Least it was, but that kind of you know.
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting with places like this because clearly the ghosts.
Speaker 1: That's when I really believe that there's certain people that
Speaker 1: ghosts are drawn to or like. And why is it
Speaker 1: that some people have worked there for twenty years or
Speaker 1: more and might not even have experiences like I think
Speaker 1: you're one of those people like me that ghosts are into.
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like I am. I'm an emotionally open person.
Speaker 3: I'm you know, I'm super open and communicative with people.
Speaker 3: And I talked to you know you going back to
Speaker 3: people that have been there a long time. Last night
Speaker 3: I talked to John Kirk and he's been a server
Speaker 3: there almost thirty years, but he did have like a
Speaker 3: two year break where he took off because we had
Speaker 3: some crazy management come in, so we took off and
Speaker 3: then we brought him back in and he said, last
Speaker 3: night he told me that when he first came back,
Speaker 3: he was going towards the showroom. There was a show
Speaker 3: going on, and he was going into the showroom and
Speaker 3: there was a doorman standing there and the door just
Speaker 3: opened for him. The door opened and then and he
Speaker 3: just stood there looking at it, and then it closed
Speaker 3: back up.
Speaker 1: Whoa.
Speaker 3: And he said that was the first time because he
Speaker 3: said he would he was looking around like, why aren't
Speaker 3: they doing stuff to me? You know, when I was
Speaker 3: talking about it, But he said that was a really
Speaker 3: spooky moment. And Jay had the same thing with the footsteps.
Speaker 1: I just don't think a lot of people know that
Speaker 1: it's haunted, you know. I think because my experience was
Speaker 1: just like Yaser, where I didn't have any idea and
Speaker 1: then you know, something happened and then I spoke about it.
Speaker 3: M No, I haven't. I wonder if this will maybe
Speaker 3: bring up more stories.
Speaker 1: So talking about you being someone that ghosts, like, I
Speaker 1: know you have other stories outside of the improv and
Speaker 1: terrifying story. Yeah, what is this one you were telling
Speaker 1: me about? You had some kind of sounds like a
Speaker 1: demon to me.
Speaker 3: So I had this is more recent. This is my
Speaker 3: little house. I live in this sweet little like a guesthouse.
Speaker 3: It's like a little cottage. It's only about you know,
Speaker 3: maybe six hundred square feet one bedroom, really cozy, tiny,
Speaker 3: but it's over I think it's close to one hundred
Speaker 3: years old.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: And I love it there. And it's up like two
Speaker 3: flights of stairs. It's behind a main house and it's
Speaker 3: got like the colonial look, you know, it's got French
Speaker 3: doors and windows and like the pillars outside. It's just darling.
Speaker 3: And I had this is in twenty This is about
Speaker 3: five years ago and I'm in La by myself. The
Speaker 3: only sense of family that I have would be work
Speaker 3: or you know. Somebody that I'm very that I've loved
Speaker 3: for a long time is comic Pablo Francisco, and he's
Speaker 3: he was on the road all the time. So I've
Speaker 3: had multiple surgeries, you know, unfortunately, and when I would
Speaker 3: have any kind of medical issue or something, he would
Speaker 3: get a car service for me. And it was family owned.
Speaker 3: And this lady, her name was deb she had she
Speaker 3: was a recovering addict. She'd been sober for I think
Speaker 3: a decade. She was just like one of those really
Speaker 3: nice but just you get like a darkness about them,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like she just you could
Speaker 3: tell that she had a very hard past and you know,
Speaker 3: a little pessimistic, but just like you know, people have
Speaker 3: like an aura around them, like a I don't know,
Speaker 3: juju around them, or they're either like very light and fun.
Speaker 3: She did not have that. But she was very kind
Speaker 3: to me, and she you know, did the job. But
Speaker 3: her and her brother would go they would take me
Speaker 3: to surgeries and bring me home after surgery. So she
Speaker 3: brings me home one day and I needed her to
Speaker 3: carry up some groceries right, because I had to go
Speaker 3: get some stuff for food and I couldn't carry them up.
Speaker 3: And she comes up. She'd never been in my home.
Speaker 3: She comes up and she was very awkward, like you
Speaker 3: could tell she didn't want to be there. So I
Speaker 3: walked in. I sat on the couch. She goes into
Speaker 3: my kitchen. When you walk into my house, it's a
Speaker 3: little living room and to the left is a doorway
Speaker 3: to a galley kitchen and like a little dining area.
Speaker 3: And she walked in there and she dropped the buy
Speaker 3: bags out and roz. She was in and out like
Speaker 3: in fifteen seconds, Like she was uncomfortable. She like went
Speaker 3: in there socially awkward. She drops the bags off, comes
Speaker 3: back out out the door, and I look up and
Speaker 3: I see like this, it looked like a goat. Oh
Speaker 3: what It was a goat on its hind legs. It
Speaker 3: had hoofs and it ran like in her direction. It
Speaker 3: ran from my kitchen towards the window, so through the
Speaker 3: doorway to the other side. It was brief, but I
Speaker 3: could clearly see.
Speaker 1: It now, not like do you It wasn't like a
Speaker 1: person goat like it was an actual like it looked
Speaker 1: like a goat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a goat, like up on its hind legs,
Speaker 3: big head, and it was like it was like a
Speaker 3: brown color. It was like almost transparent, but it was
Speaker 3: brown in color, and it went like it chased her.
Speaker 3: She went out my door and it like went out
Speaker 3: at almost the same time, and I remember thinking, she
Speaker 3: just brought this into my house.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I mean that's definitely a belief that people
Speaker 1: have entities attached to them. And I mean, you have
Speaker 1: to be careful sometimes, so you let into your house forced.
Speaker 3: I mean I was just like, bitch, you need to
Speaker 3: get the al out, go, get in your call and
Speaker 3: drive away. But I'll never forget it. And like the
Speaker 3: way that it moved was very animal like, and it
Speaker 3: was like it was like running out with her. It
Speaker 3: didn't want it didn't walk, it ran And I just
Speaker 3: remember I was in shock, like did I just see that?
Speaker 3: Because you know, a couple hours earlier, I was, you know, medicated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna ask that.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was anything like that. I clearly
Speaker 3: saw it.
Speaker 1: But then stuff started happening in relation to that, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was in bed one night and you know,
Speaker 3: we're vampires in this business. So I was like forcing
Speaker 3: myself to go to bed. So I was, I was
Speaker 3: awake and forcing myself to try to get some sleep.
Speaker 3: Otherwise you missed the whole entire next day and I
Speaker 3: was in my bed and I had like printed sheets
Speaker 3: my pillowcase and like the sheets over me, they were
Speaker 3: printed and they had multiple like these flowers or like
Speaker 3: a border around the flowers. And I was, I was still,
Speaker 3: and I felt it wasn't like a grabbing. It was
Speaker 3: like a very slow grasping of my feet. I'm freaking out.
Speaker 3: I'm okay, freaking out. Yeah, Like I slept with the
Speaker 3: crucifix after this, for like a couple of weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I slept with the with the cross.
Speaker 1: That is terrifying.
Speaker 3: It was these hands and they slowly grabbed onto my
Speaker 3: feet and it started pulling me. And the reason and
Speaker 3: I brought up the pattern of my sheets is because
Speaker 3: I could see the pattern of these flowers slowly going
Speaker 3: past my eyes. Do you know what I'm saying? That
Speaker 3: I could see the pattern moving like I was. It
Speaker 3: was so slow, like I was being slowly dragged off
Speaker 3: of my bed towards the foot of my bed. And
Speaker 3: I remember very clearly thinking somebody broke into my house.
Speaker 3: He bashed me over the top of the head. I
Speaker 3: don't remember this, and my head's gonna hit the floor.
Speaker 3: I remember thinking, he's he's gonna I'm I'm gonna die
Speaker 3: and he's dragging me off of my bed and my
Speaker 3: head is gonna end up. My head is gonna end
Speaker 3: up hitting the floor.
Speaker 1: How far down the bed were you?
Speaker 3: I ended up like with my feet on the floor,
Speaker 3: like I was sitting almost in a sitting position.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: When I came up and I ran out of my house,
Speaker 3: I screw and I ran out of my house, and.
Speaker 1: Of course there was nobody there.
Speaker 3: I've I've never been like how how Yaser was saying before.
Speaker 3: I've I've never been that scared. And that's when I called,
Speaker 3: you know, another someone in my church and talked to
Speaker 3: them about it. I'm like I and they were talking
Speaker 3: about how there's demons and they'll come in if there's
Speaker 3: something not right in your life, or there's something not right,
Speaker 3: you could have brought it in from somewhere where you
Speaker 3: were around, somebody that had the sort of energy.
Speaker 1: And car service lady brought it in.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Wait, So did you feel like it felt like a
Speaker 1: human grabbing your life.
Speaker 3: It was two hands, one hand arm like a human. Yes,
Speaker 3: one hand on each foot because I remember it like
Speaker 3: slowly grasping. You know, I've heard stories of like ghost
Speaker 3: tickling feed and you know, kind of fun, and no,
Speaker 3: this was a slow it felt evil grabbing onto my feet,
Speaker 3: like grasping, tightening and then pulling. And I think the
Speaker 3: most terrifying part of it was watching that, watching the
Speaker 3: pattern of my bed cheeks going past you know, my
Speaker 3: like my cheek like I was being dragged off my bed.
Speaker 1: So so how did this end? Because it's not still
Speaker 1: going on right.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I this is gonna.
Speaker 2: I had.
Speaker 3: I slept with the Cross and what I've been doing Catholic,
Speaker 3: I am yeah. My mom and dad are Sicilian, they
Speaker 3: came over from Sicily say, I was raised Catholic. Even
Speaker 3: to this day, last night I sleep with the big pillows,
Speaker 3: like decorative pillows I have on my bed. I sleep
Speaker 3: with them on my feet. Since that time, you won't
Speaker 3: get that. I never feel that again, like to that,
Speaker 3: to this to this day. Last night, that's part of
Speaker 3: my going to bed process is I put pillows over
Speaker 3: my feet and I put them, I'm gonna cry, and
Speaker 3: I put them on my body because it was that terrifying.
Speaker 3: And I have a cross next to my bed. But
Speaker 3: after initially that, I slept with the cross like next
Speaker 3: to me, holding it, big old, big old Italian cross too,
Speaker 3: that's on my nightstand. I slept with it and the
Speaker 3: only and I got rid of everything. Like you know
Speaker 3: those candles you see in the grocery store, they were
Speaker 3: like of Jesus. There are those big tall candle have
Speaker 3: that Yeah, oh my gosh, you burn them for you
Speaker 3: burn them. They burned for like five days. You're not
Speaker 3: supposed to blow them out. I threw like everything out
Speaker 3: in my I had a couple of those, and I
Speaker 3: thought maybe they had been I know, it sounds so
Speaker 3: crazy to say, but I felt like maybe those were
Speaker 3: hext or something.
Speaker 1: But were they Catholic?
Speaker 3: No, they were just like they just said the Jesus
Speaker 3: thing with like the with the with the prayer on
Speaker 3: the back. So I don't know what denomination they were,
Speaker 3: but you know, still, so I got rid of those
Speaker 3: in the house and I haven't felt anything since that.
Speaker 1: And that last incident was five years ago.
Speaker 3: Is twenty yes, twenty fourteen. It would have been yeah,
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen, so five years ago, and I just went
Speaker 3: through a phase like that. Next week when I had
Speaker 3: the cross, I would pray the Rosary, I'd pray the
Speaker 3: Rosary out loud. I would say, you know, glory be,
Speaker 3: Glory be to the Father and to the Son into
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit. I would say it, you know, world
Speaker 3: without end. I would say it like you know twenty
Speaker 3: times or that our Father.
Speaker 1: See. Now, I was raised Catholic. I do not identify
Speaker 1: as a Catholic, but I've had a lot of topics
Speaker 1: or a lot of discussion on the show in recent
Speaker 1: times about do I believe in demons or just dark
Speaker 1: energies or I'm not really sure how I feel about that,
Speaker 1: but whatever it is, I do know that there are
Speaker 1: energies that do not like our Father and rosaries, and
Speaker 1: that scares them off. That's one thing I know. Not
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to make people be Catholic or anything,
Speaker 1: but I've seen I mean, that's what extracisms are, right.
Speaker 3: I always like viewed it as I had a really
Speaker 3: good experience, but it's growing up in the Catholic Church.
Speaker 3: But I identify it more as a cultural thing. It brings
Speaker 3: me peace because I know, like my father and his
Speaker 3: father and his father and his father and his father
Speaker 3: and our father and our father, you know, all did this.
Speaker 3: So that brings me a sense of peace. So I think,
Speaker 3: I know that's why I kind of run to that. Yeah, like,
Speaker 3: but that was my only weapon. I know.
Speaker 1: It works for a lot of people. And like I said,
Speaker 1: it seems to work against demons. Oh my god, if
Speaker 1: those are real. And I believe that whatever you were
Speaker 1: dealing with, that sounds to me like what people explain
Speaker 1: demons as, I mean, a goat on hind legs. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And you know what's funny, like kind of going back
Speaker 3: to our conversation with yass or, is you know talking
Speaker 3: about is that in some some sort is it in
Speaker 3: the in the living, in your mind somewhere it's something
Speaker 3: that you've thought about in the past, something that you've
Speaker 3: been in the past. I'd never thought in that context
Speaker 3: at all, especially with the goat. I mean you'd hear it,
Speaker 3: I guess throughout your you know, bits and pieces, I guess,
Speaker 3: but it's not something that I I was ambushed by it.
Speaker 3: It's not something that I ever like explored in my
Speaker 3: mind or thought even had a thought about on a
Speaker 3: personal level. So that's why I think scared. Why it
Speaker 3: scared the shit out of me so much, is because
Speaker 3: it just really came out of nowhere. And it was
Speaker 3: the timing of it too with her that I'm like, yeah, something,
Speaker 3: something's chasing her, something's leaving with her.
Speaker 1: Have you seen her since then?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I see. Your stories are stories of ghosts, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: kind of being dangerous because you've had two instances where
Speaker 1: you thought you were being assaulted or someone was breaking
Speaker 1: and entering or whatever stuff like that. That's when you
Speaker 1: got a problem. And that's when it's like, this isn't
Speaker 1: a cute ghost. This is like right, this isn't a
Speaker 1: cold Yeah.
Speaker 3: This isn't a ghost hiding for me or you know.
Speaker 3: I had an experience, My very first experience was a
Speaker 3: see through white ghost, those transparent Say what when was this?
Speaker 3: This was in nineteen ninety It was whenever the Phoenix
Speaker 3: Suns were playing the Bulls in the final championship for
Speaker 3: the NBA.
Speaker 1: And the reason why, well, yeah, I would know what
Speaker 1: year it was.
Speaker 3: I think it was ninety one or ninety two. But
Speaker 3: I had I had this boyfriend and you know, big
Speaker 3: Italian family, big Italian father, Macho Baracco, and I'd been
Speaker 3: I'd been at his house and the living room was
Speaker 3: situated you'd sit and face the TV, and then off
Speaker 3: to the right was a hallway and there was like
Speaker 3: a little pod of rooms, you know, like down this
Speaker 3: hallway there were two rooms to the right and the
Speaker 3: master bedroom to the left, and then a bathroom. And
Speaker 3: I would say probably six or seven times while I
Speaker 3: was watching TV over you know, of course of some months,
Speaker 3: I would see it was definitely a woman. She was
Speaker 3: in all white, like a flowy but it wasn't normal.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like it was a night shirt,
Speaker 3: almost like a nightgown. And out of the corner of
Speaker 3: my eye, I would see this person walk from one
Speaker 3: side of the hallway to the other right, and I
Speaker 3: wouldn't say anything to anybody. It's like what we're what
Speaker 3: we've been talking about. You don't want to say anything
Speaker 3: to anybody because they're gonna think you're crazy. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: I would see it go. It would be like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, every every couple of visits or when we
Speaker 3: were watching TV, it wasn't every single time.
Speaker 1: And she was see through, she was see.
Speaker 3: Through and she would go from right to left or
Speaker 3: left to right right. So I didn't say anything. In
Speaker 3: the reason ghost right, she was a ghosty ghost. I
Speaker 3: didn't say anything. And then we were watching the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3: That's why I remember this so clearly, because a whole
Speaker 3: family was sitting there and we were watching the game
Speaker 3: and I saw it again and I said, and it
Speaker 3: went from left to right, she went left to right.
Speaker 3: And I just said, fuck it, I'm gonna say so
Speaker 3: go did you guys just see? And every one of them,
Speaker 3: even his father, mister Italian, was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: we've been saying this. Are you seeing it? Like the
Speaker 3: family hadn't even discussed amongst themselves.
Speaker 1: Oh really, nobody.
Speaker 3: Had discussed it, but everybody had been seeing it. It
Speaker 3: was not my home, it was their home. Wow, every
Speaker 3: single person on that family in Do you think they
Speaker 3: had been there maybe? I think relatively, maybe a couple
Speaker 3: of years, but they all just everybody stood up and like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, I've been seeing this. I thought it
Speaker 3: was crazy, and they all had she it's it's a lady.
Speaker 3: It's an old lady. She's wearing she's in white.
Speaker 1: Was she like floating or walking she was.
Speaker 3: Walking, but she wasn't threatening or anything. She just I
Speaker 3: feel like it's somebody that died in the house and
Speaker 3: she's like wandering around trying to find her medication. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's kind of the like the way her gate. She
Speaker 3: was like, she's like wandering around, like huh, where's my
Speaker 3: blood pressure and medication or like, you know, I need
Speaker 3: to take an insulin injection.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: She's just kind of like wandering. It wasn't you know, uh,
Speaker 3: And she'd go back and for weird.
Speaker 1: You want to hear some ghost voices? Yeah, okay, it's
Speaker 1: time for it. EVP or ev plice. Do you know
Speaker 1: what an EVP is? Okay, EVP is electronic voice phenomena.
Speaker 1: It's when on like ghost Hunter shows, they capture a voice.
Speaker 1: They called it an EVP. So I go to YouTube
Speaker 1: and I find EVPs, so ghost voices, and I want
Speaker 1: you to guess what the ghost hunter believes these ghosts
Speaker 1: are saying, Oh no, or what you think they're saying?
Speaker 1: Just a good just a good guess. Sometimes it's an EVP,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's an ev police. So the the first one
Speaker 1: is from gas Paranormal is what they're called on YouTube,
Speaker 1: and this is in Burlington County Prison Museum in Mount Holly,
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Uh, you might hear a little bit of
Speaker 1: the ghost hunter speaking, but you can tell which one
Speaker 1: is the ghost voice. It's a little more raspy. All right,
Speaker 1: tell me what you think they're saying.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the voice. I cut it off before the
Speaker 1: ghost hunter started. Okay, let's try it again.
Speaker 3: Sounds like it sounds like he's he's got like an
Speaker 3: Australian accent. Can you play one more time? I have
Speaker 3: no idea.
Speaker 1: I'll give you some options. Is it A who's that
Speaker 1: messy bitch? B Guess who's pregnant? C? Who's that message for?
Speaker 1: Or D who's a prisoner?
Speaker 3: Play a woman? I think it's who's that messy bitch?
Speaker 1: It's who's that message?
Speaker 2: For?
Speaker 3: That message?
Speaker 1: But we've all been there, who's that messy bitch?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can do this for real.
Speaker 3: I've never heard a ghost outside of the noise, like
Speaker 3: I've never heard a voice of a guest.
Speaker 1: Well, welcome to ghost it. Here's another one. This one
Speaker 1: is from Jersey Paranormal Investigations and it was in a
Speaker 1: private private house in Pittman, New Jersey. Okay, here we go. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a little bit more whispery here, let's try
Speaker 1: it again.
Speaker 3: God, I'm here something, I'm here.
Speaker 1: That's a good guess. Okay, is it a look at
Speaker 1: it from here? B look out about here? See look
Speaker 1: Adam is here? Or d just whisper?
Speaker 3: What was the first what was the first option?
Speaker 1: Look at it from here? Look at it from here?
Speaker 1: That's look out about here. That doesn't even make sense
Speaker 1: is look at it from here?
Speaker 3: So they don't give you what they how they translated like,
Speaker 3: that's just what they.
Speaker 1: Guess, that's just what they assume. But I always think
Speaker 1: it's funny because ghost centers are like, no, this is
Speaker 1: what they said.
Speaker 3: I mean if I heard something like that, I don't
Speaker 3: know what I would do. You I would have to
Speaker 3: go to a hospital.
Speaker 1: What if you heard yes sir with the breath? Well
Speaker 1: it would be really creepy if you heard it. Oh
Speaker 1: thanks Rita, God I love that episode. Oh and also
