1
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,439
Therésa: Hello, my angels or devils, demons, mortals, reanimated ectoplasm, however

2
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,480
Therésa: you identify. Welcome back to another episode of Haunting.

3
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,240
Therésa: We're running into a little problem here at Haunting HQ

4
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,080
Therésa: that I'm not entirely unfamiliar with. We're generating too much

5
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,960
Therésa: at revenue. We're not sure how to spend it. All

6
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,160
Therésa: material goods are of no use to me here, hence

7
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,360
Therésa: the reworking of my entire brand. So we're in a

8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,600
Therésa: little bit of a "financial pickle," as my dad's tax

9
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,440
Therésa: fraud attorney used to put it, different sides of the

10
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,920
Therésa: same coin, though we're flush, whereas he was basically doing

11
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,760
Therésa: dishes for the IRS.

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,520
Therésa: AnyWho, I had the idea to donate our proceeds to charity.

13
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,000
Len: (mumbles)

14
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,400
Therésa: Okay? Len and I had the idea to donate our

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,679
Therésa: proceeds to charity. Len pitched the American Cancer Society, but

16
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,040
Therésa: I was thinking Camp Conflict, which is a summer program

17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,640
Therésa: I funded Maine where we manufacture safe adverse experiences for

18
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,279
Therésa: privileged teens so they have something to write their college

19
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,360
Therésa: essays about. It's helped a lot of deserving kids get

20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,679
Therésa: into bottom tier ivys.

21
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,480
Therésa: So while Naomi prepares the oversized check, we'll meet James

22
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,919
Therésa: from Philadelphia, who guides a ghost tour through the city

23
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Therésa: where he and his group - Honestly, you can probably guess.

24
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Story A: I work with Stephen DeMarco, another ghost tour guide. He's

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,440
Story A: my de facto mentor. Stephen's telling me this story. He

26
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Story A: had three college girls. They had booked the extended tour.

27
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,400
Story A: One of them screams, "He disappeared! You didn't see that?

28
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Story A: He disappeared! You were just talking to him, and now

29
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,400
Story A: he's gone." They're scared to death because they just watched

30
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,000
Story A: a man disappear in front of him. Spirits are here.

31
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,280
Story A: I don't know why, but they're here, and I'm all

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Story A: for skepticism, but there are many things that can't be explained.

33
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,640
Story A: My name is James. I am a ghost tour guide

34
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,679
Story A: in Philadelphia, and we encountered a ghost on our ghost tour.

35
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,920
Story A: I give extended ghost tours in Philadelphia. It's about an

36
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,639
Story A: hour tour and they're eight different stops, all from the

37
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,400
Story A: colonial period. There's a lot of history to it. We

38
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,919
Story A: don't do flim flammory. We don't set up bluetooth speakers

39
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,919
Story A: that play scary music. We don't have actors pop out.

40
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Story A: It's just me doing historical lessons and telling them about hauntings.

41
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,520
Story A: Sometimes I use gadgets on the tour. I used to

42
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,600
Story A: bring like an EMF detector or a spirit box, just

43
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,919
Story A: to see if they'd do anything, you know, shake it

44
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,120
Story A: up a little bit. One night, I'm talking about Alexander Hamilton.

45
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,360
Story A: All of a sudden, the spirit box goes off and

46
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Story A: they point, they go, "look the thing turned red." And

47
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,520
Story A: I've found that I've been able to convince, I wouldn't

48
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Story A: say hardcore skeptics by any means, but people who didn't

49
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,720
Story A: believe it and just kind of wanted to see what

50
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Story A: the tour was about.

51
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Story A: It was October 2021, right before the season really ramped up,

52
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Story A: as we were heading deeper into the month towards Halloween.

53
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,120
Story A: It was brisk. It was a very small group they

54
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Story A: had booked the extended tour. There was an older woman

55
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,360
Story A: in her late forties to early fifties. I'll just call

56
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Story A: her Ma. She was tall and thin, kind of reminded

57
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,040
Story A: me of Allison Janney. She was nice enough, she really wanted

58
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Story A: to be there. This was for her. Her daughter, who

59
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,440
Story A: was a woman about my age in her mid to

60
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,520
Story A: late thirties, blonde, a bit shorter. She didn't want to be there,

61
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Story A: and that's okay, like she had no interest, but she

62
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,960
Story A: wasn't disrespectful. And then there was a youngest girl. She

63
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,880
Story A: was a teenager.

64
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Story A: They were visiting from Washington, and they got the Philadelphia experience,

65
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,039
Story A: which is you're trying to cross the street and someone

66
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,360
Story A: nearly runs you over, and then that car who tries

67
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Story A: to run you over yells at you. Welcome to Philadelphia,

68
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,360
Story A: was kind of all I could say.

69
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,159
Story A: I'm checking them in and I'm trying to confirm the

70
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Story A: extended tour, and then Ma leans in then whispers in

71
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,360
Story A: my ear, "You know, I'm a clairvoyant. I can see

72
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,520
Story A: spirits around us." Okay, this was unprompted. I'm just kind

73
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,480
Story A: of trying to get all of this done at this point,

74
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,560
Story A: and I have stuff I have to say. I have

75
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Story A: things I have to get through. But they were actually

76
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Story A: very nice, especially Ma, who really wanted to be there.

77
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,919
Story A: I get through this standard tour and I'm continuing with

78
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Story A: the extended tour. I go the extra mile. I bring

79
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,800
Story A: out some equipment. Maybe it works, maybe we hear something

80
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,120
Story A: on the spirit box. Sometimes we don't, and I move on

81
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,160
Story A: and I try to make it interesting one way or

82
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,600
Story A: the other. The middle one, the daughter, was on her

83
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Story A: phone the entire time. She wasn't interested. This wasn't her

84
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,479
Story A: cup of tea. As my gear was going off and

85
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,440
Story A: I got more into the ghost stuff, the teenage daughter

86
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,360
Story A: kind of warmed up to it. She kind of started

87
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,560
Story A: to ask questions. She kind of started to want to

88
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:01,159
Story A: know about experiences that had happened to me. Part of

89
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Story A: being a tour guide is personal experience. They want to

90
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,360
Story A: know what we've seen, what we've experienced. I show people

91
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,599
Story A: some orbs in pictures I've taken of a certain locations.

92
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,559
Story A: I talk about times the EMF point a bit nuts,

93
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680
Story A: when the spirit box had a full conversation with me.

94
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,120
Story A: I always work that in. We're walking down Fourth Street,

95
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Story A: Philadelphia towards Spruce. Those are very old buildings, and if

96
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,680
Story A: the streets are empty, which they just happen to be,

97
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Story A: there's a lot of echoes, there's a lot of footsteps.

98
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,800
Story A: Some footsteps maybe people walking behind us and some not.

99
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,359
Story A: Basically I'm listening for anything, but it looked like just

100
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,000
Story A: your average night on Fourth Street. As I'm walking with

101
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Story A: my lantern in hand, Ma leans in and she says, "You know,

102
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,640
Story A: there's a man following us." The thing I thought was

103
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Story A: someone's jumped on. I've had homeless people try to jump on.

104
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Story A: I've had people just visiting locations try to jump on.

105
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Story A: Immediately I turn around, you know, I look for him.

106
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,640
Story A: I don't see anyone. It's just the three and myself.

107
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,680
Story A: And she says, "He is wearing jogging attire, he is

108
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,720
Story A: bleeding from his forehead and his nose is broken. He

109
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Story A: died some time ago. His name is John, and he's

110
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Story A: just checking on us." All this is unprompted. Now, I

111
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:45,240
Story A: approach this with skepticism. P.T. Barnum said, if they believe something,

112
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,600
Story A: let them believe it. And that's a paraphrase.

113
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Story A: The thing I noticed about the daughter and the teenage daughter,

114
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Story A: neither one of them seems surprised, and they weren't shocked.

115
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,920
Story A: They just sort of were like, oh well here it

116
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,800
Story A: is like very matter of factly. So I said, I

117
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,720
Story A: hope John enjoys the rest of the tour.

118
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,320
Story A: When I got into the Philadelphia market, Stephen was the

119
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,360
Story A: only one they're giving tours as such. He was my trainer,

120
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,120
Story A: he was my de facto mentor, so to speak.

121
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,400
Story A: My name is Steve, and I am a ghost tour

122
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Story A: guide in the city of Philadelphia. Now I gotta go

123
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,839
Story A: forward a bit to when we're starting an Atlantic City ghost tour.

124
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,360
Story A: You know, they were doing a test run and they

125
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080
Story A: wanted me to see how it would look, and you know,

126
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Story A: give my own two cents about it. So I went there.

127
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Story A: We're doing a practice and it's me giving Steven a tour.

128
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,440
Story A: This time, we complete the tour and we're walking back

129
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,720
Story A: down the board walk. I asked, Hey, has anything ever

130
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,640
Story A: happened to you on the tour, like, do you have

131
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,400
Story A: a personal experience? Stephen then goes into his story.

132
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,560
Story A: It happened in 2021. I had three young girls in

133
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,960
Story A: the early twenties walking with me. I just finished up

134
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,080
Story A: the standard tour and I had an extended tour. We're

135
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,480
Story A: on Third and Pine Street. It's kind of like the

136
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,679
Story A: older part of Philadelphia. At night they got street lamps

137
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,319
Story A: on and on that intersection, it can't get a little noisy.

138
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,800
Story A: I was just wrapping up the tour and this guy

139
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,240
Story A: crossing the street came over.He appeared to be in his

140
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Story A: mid twenties. He looked like he was jogging through the

141
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:44,040
Story A: city because he had jogging shorts on and he was sweaty. Initially,

142
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,520
Story A: I thought he may have just been like running and

143
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,400
Story A: it was just kind of crossing paths. But what was

144
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,000
Story A: so off putting about him was that as he got closer,

145
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,600
Story A: I noticed a big bloody gash on his forehead and

146
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,960
Story A: it looked like there was blood running down his face.

147
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,560
Story A: My first reaction was, I thought that this guy got

148
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,680
Story A: into a fight. And then he said, "Oh, don't mind me,

149
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,280
Story A: I'm just looking in." It was very casual. Who says that,

150
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Story A: you know? It just was weird, and so my gut

151
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Story A: reaction was that this guy was like looking for trouble. Basically,

152
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,440
Story A: I just said, "Oh, I'm sorry, this is a private tour.

153
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,040
Story A: We love you to have you on the next tour,

154
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,719
Story A: you know, please check us out. And all he said, and

155
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Story A: he shook his head, was "Oh don't mind me, I'm

156
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Story A: just looking in." I'm thinking to myself, if he's on drugs

157
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Story A: or anything like that, because he didn't seem all there.

158
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Story A: So for a three second I turned to the three

159
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,680
Story A: girls and they're looking at the guy, and I turned

160
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:55,520
Story A: back and he vanishes. Boom. He was just gone. I

161
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Story A: look back, and you could tell the girls were kind

162
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:03,520
Story A: of shocked. As I was telling him the story, James

163
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,640
Story A: interrupted me and said, wait a minute, that kind of

164
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,200
Story A: sounds like something that happened to me too.

165
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,960
Story A: I turned to him, I said, "Guess what, Stephen, his

166
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,720
Story A: name is John, and he's just looking in on the tour."

167
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Story A: Stephen freaks out at this point, he goes, what are

168
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,440
Story A: you talking about? And I tell him the wholeMa story.

169
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,640
Story A: I see he's visibly freaked out. He goes, "No, you're lying."

170
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,640
Story A: He's like, well, how could that have happened? "Did the

171
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,680
Story A: college girls maybe posted on Reddit and the woman in

172
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,960
Story A: Washington maybe?" But I'm like, Stephen, "What you're trying to

173
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,760
Story A: give me as a skeptical explanation makes less sense than

174
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,120
Story A: us having a shared paranormal experience."

175
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,960
Story A: What do I think about John? I think that he

176
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,800
Story A: likes to just come back, and I think he really

177
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,079
Story A: does like the tour, So I guess we're doing a

178
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Story A: good enough job.

179
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Therésa: Mortals kill me. You saw a ghost on the ghost

180
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,160
Therésa: tour and we're shocked. Surely we expected at least the possibility,

181
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Therésa: But I get it, I once did sponsored content for

182
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Therésa: Glowgarden's Advanced retinoid eye treatment. And yes, even though I

183
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,880
Therésa: was hawking it, I did not expect it to tighten

184
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Therésa: my under eyes so well, and at a pretty affordable

185
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Therésa: price point too.

186
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,360
Therésa: Don't worry, that wasn't an ad. Glow Garden ended our

187
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,640
Therésa: partnership after the surveillance footage from that food court bathroom

188
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:41,280
Therésa: got leaked. They dropped the charges though, But if anyone

189
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,120
Therésa: from corporate is listening and wants to get back in

190
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,720
Therésa: the Therésa business, just email Len at Huntingthepodcast at gmail

191
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,240
Therésa: dot com. I don't really have under eyes anymore, but

192
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,719
Therésa: I still love the gesture. I digress. Point is we're

193
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,319
Therésa: allowed to be skeptics, but in my opinion, a supernatural

194
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,320
Therésa: experience is like falling in love. It comes when you

195
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,280
Therésa: least expect it.

196
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Therésa: Right, right, right, or you chase after it obsessively, look

197
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Therésa: for signs where there are none, finally find it, only

198
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,959
Therésa: to realize maybe this was a huge mistake, and then

199
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,880
Therésa: pay a lawyer to help make it go away. What

200
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Therésa: about you, Len, Were you ever in love?

201
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Len: (mumbles)

202
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,560
Therésa: You met your wife at a Kenny Chesney concert, that

203
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,440
Therésa: really checks out. Naomi? Hate to break it to you,

204
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:40,960
Therésa: but Phi-Delts Champagne and Shackles probably isn't love. You're right,

205
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,080
Therésa: not for me to judge. Hey, how about this, everyone

206
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Therésa: sound off in the comments and tell us either where

207
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,560
Therésa: you saw your first ghost or where you met your

208
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,959
Therésa: first love, and later I'll try to guess which one

209
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,320
Therésa: it was.

210
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,840
Therésa: Anyway, so on one side of the spectrum we have James,

211
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,440
Therésa: who's looking for ghosts but doesn't always find them, and

212
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,800
Therésa: on the other side we have Miranda, who's never looking

213
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,280
Therésa: but they always seem to find her.

214
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,200
Story B: I just got hit with this bad, scary, terror. It

215
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Story B: was just like, ugh, I gotta go. I gotta get out .

216
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Story B: That's the only car there. It's raining, it's nasty, it's

217
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Story B: pulled out, and I look over across from me. All

218
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,560
Story B: the plumps are empty, but there's a light. It's just

219
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Story B: flickering above the plump directly across from me. And I

220
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,600
Story B: was like, nope, I gotta go.

221
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,520
Story B: My name's Miranda. I'm kind of like that kid from

222
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,160
Story B: the Sixth Sense, except I don't see dead people, I

223
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,520
Story B: feel them.

224
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Story B: I lived in Columbus, Georgia in college, and it's known

225
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,240
Story B: for being a haunted city. There were battlefields and battles

226
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Story B: there during the Civil War, so it's you know, the

227
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:02,400
Story B: stereotypical old timey ghosts that hang out there. I lived

228
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,960
Story B: in a one hundred and two year old house, and I would

229
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,320
Story B: notice things from time to time. I felt presences. It

230
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,440
Story B: wasn't one thing that I felt constantly each time it's

231
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,200
Story B: a little different.

232
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,280
Story B: Sometimes you walk into a room and that room would

233
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,680
Story B: be ice cold, you could see your breath, and it's summer.

234
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,960
Story B: Some days my dogs would get all spoofed, and my

235
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Story B: dog was growling at me. She wasn't staring at me.

236
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,960
Story B: It was like she was staring behind me and just

237
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,440
Story B: like looking through me, growling, which is particularly spooky. And then

238
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,560
Story B: I had this one really awful experience.

239
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Story B: I was getting ready to go somewhere and I'm doing

240
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Story B: my hair and I hear this bang. They'd been doing

241
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,640
Story B: work near my house, so I just figured, Okay, it's

242
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,520
Story B: like seven pm., why are they still doing in construction? Just like bang, bang, bang.

243
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,400
Story B: It kept getting louder and closer, so loud you can

244
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Story B: feel the vibration. It sounded like it was on my

245
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,040
Story B: roof just.

246
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,200
Story B: And I was trying to ignore it blow during my hair.

247
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,920
Story B: And then I heard my side door.

248
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Story B: Open and footsteps.

249
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,640
Story B: It sounded like something ran from my side door through

250
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,680
Story B: my kitchen. Oh god, oh no, someone's in my house.

251
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,840
Story B: I just immediately freaked out, threw a blow dryer down,

252
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,080
Story B: didn't have on shoes.

253
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:44,800
Story B: I was like, I'm.

254
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Story B: Getting out of here right now. It's all like someone

255
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,400
Story B: just broke in my house. So I go to run

256
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Story B: out the front door, and the chain lock was locked.

257
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,920
Story B: I'd never locked that chain lock in my whole life.

258
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,680
Story B: I was like, oh god, oh god.

259
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Story B: I threw it a front door.

260
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,280
Story B: I ran out, got in my car, and I drove

261
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:10,119
Story B: two blocks away and I called the cops. They came

262
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,080
Story B: and they checked out my house. No signs of forced entry,

263
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Story B: nothing was touched. I was just scared out of my mind.

264
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,439
Story B: I definitely sensed something. It was a really bad feeling.

265
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,000
Story B: Most times whatever I'm sensing is not very ominous, but

266
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Story B: this one was terror. I feel like it wants to

267
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,480
Story B: kill me or hurt me. I don't want to be here,

268
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,359
Story B: like it was really scary.

269
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,600
Story B: I had a friend in college and he said, oh,

270
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,240
Story B: your house is a portal for spirits. So he came

271
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,040
Story B: over and he brought some salt. He sprinkled it around

272
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,200
Story B: like my door frames and burned some sage and said

273
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,560
Story B: some stuff. I lived in that house for three years

274
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,439
Story B: and I didn't have any problems after that.

275
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,560
Story B: I worked in a trauma center. We had six trauma

276
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,480
Story B: base and trauma four was the biggest room, so that's

277
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Story B: where all patients that were in the worst shape would

278
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,280
Story B: go because there's gonna be like twenty people in the

279
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,680
Story B: room trying to save lives as quickly as possible.

280
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,560
Story B: And in trauma four the lights would do this thing where

281
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,439
Story B: they would flicker, and a lot of people died in

282
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,520
Story B: frauma four. When the light would flicker, then they sayto

283
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,240
Story B: my coworkers, I'd be like, "oh, oh, guys, they're here.

284
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,480
Story B: Looks like whoever's coming trauma four is gonna die."

285
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,679
Story B: They all me like spooky, Miranda, like stop it, that's weird.

286
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,040
Story B: Like I'm just letting you know that I send it.

287
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,679
Story B: I'm not trying to be spooky. I'm just letting you

288
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,680
Story B: know they're here.

289
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,240
Story B: Every time I've sent something or seen that flickering light,

290
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,560
Story B: it's either somebody's gonna die.

291
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Story B: Or somebody just die.

292
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,080
Story B: Even if I'm alone with the patient and they're about

293
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,040
Story B: to die, it feels like it's more than just me

294
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,480
Story B: and that one person there.

295
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,920
Story B: It feels like there's something else there.

296
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Story B: Thank God, I.

297
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,400
Story B: Can't see whatever I'm sensing. If I could see it,

298
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,119
Story B: I would lose it. It already creeps me out one

299
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,680
Story B: hundred percent of the time. Every time.

300
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,600
Story B: I've seen people live that should have died, and I've

301
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,240
Story B: seen people die that should have lived, and there's not

302
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:14,600
Story B: a lot of.

303
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,320
Story B: Rhyme or reason.

304
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,680
Story B: One that I specifically remember was really bad. This person's young,

305
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Story B: they have no health problems, but I have just like

306
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:28,720
Story B: an overwhelmingly bad feeling. And I said, something's wrong. They're

307
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,280
Story B: gonna die, and they're like, oh no. Their oxygen's saturation

308
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,000
Story B: was really good. It was like ninety nine percent the

309
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,760
Story B: best you can get to the hundred. And they're like,

310
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,160
Story B: it's fine, and I was like, it's not fine. And

311
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Story B: then the lights flickered and they did end up dying.

312
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,359
Story B: There's a lot of lights in the room, but the

313
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,760
Story B: one flickering in the trouba room was the one that's

314
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,640
Story B: right over the patient bed. I have happened in ambulances

315
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,399
Story B: where the lights have flickered but I don't know it's landing,

316
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,439
Story B: just like, oh, something else is here. We had someone

317
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,119
Story B: that had been shot a bunch of times that was

318
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,639
Story B: already a losing battle. It was just too much. But

319
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Story B: I definitely since that one too. There's always one light

320
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,240
Story B: right over the patient, and that's the one flickering. I

321
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,760
Story B: mean sure from a scientific sampoy the light flicker maybe.

322
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,560
Story B: Just bad wiring, but it's kind of coincidental and it's

323
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,160
Story B: only at certain times.

324
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,679
Story B: But I have noticed it in the trauma bay, I

325
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,680
Story B: noticed it in the ambulance, and then most recently, I.

326
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Story B: Noticed it at the gas station. It was kind of

327
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,960
Story B: cold and rainy, and I was running late to work.

328
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,960
Story B: I don't have enough gasket to work, okay, So I

329
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,919
Story B: stopped at the gas station. I don't normally go to,

330
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,520
Story B: oh my gas, and all of a sudden, I got

331
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,119
Story B: this overwhelmingly bad feeling, just like a punch you and

332
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,480
Story B: you're kind of bad feeling. The first thing I did,

333
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,800
Story B: of course, was just look around, is somebody here? There's

334
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,359
Story B: nobody there, nothing going on, no other cars but mine,

335
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,680
Story B: and all the pumps are empty. But there's a light

336
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,920
Story B: above the pump directly across from me, flickering. I was like, nope,

337
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,440
Story B: I gotta leave, and.

338
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Story B: I got out of their fronto.

339
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,280
Story B: It was just such a weird, bad feeling, and I

340
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,959
Story B: haven't felt a feeling that weird or overwhelmingly bad sense,

341
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,640
Story B: whatever it was, it felt.

342
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,320
Story B: Like someone was murdered there.

343
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,960
Story B: The next morning, I was getting ready for work and

344
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,120
Story B: I googled it and.

345
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,880
Story B: I with one hundred percent freaked out.

346
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,399
Story B: A few years back, a man's pumping gas at that

347
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,399
Story B: gas station and in the broad daylight, some guy in

348
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,320
Story B: a scream mask gets out and goes to rob the guy.

349
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,919
Story B: The guy but the pump was like.

350
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,840
Story B: Okay, well here's myself take a goat, and the guy

351
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,480
Story B: in the screen mask just shot him dead. Anyway, the

352
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Story B: guy that was Killba's pretty young name was Kenneth. One

353
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,920
Story B: hundred percent think for that was him being like, get

354
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Story B: out of this place. It's bad, it's dangerous. This gift

355
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Story B: that I have, I don't want it, honestly, it's creepy

356
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:33,120
Story B: and I wish they would just leave me alone.

357
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,679
Therésa: Oh I hear you, Miranda, but I'd give anything to

358
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,480
Therésa: run into someone like you, or even better, that freaky

359
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,560
Therésa: little kid from the sixth sense who could actually see

360
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,399
Therésa: dead people. Do you know how frustrating it is to

361
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,640
Therésa: not be perceived? I haven't gone this unnoticed since before

362
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,359
Therésa: my first nose job. It's almost like if it weren't

363
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,280
Therésa: for this podcast, that would just be no one drifting

364
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,000
Therésa: through the inbetween mustering all my strength to fiddle a

365
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,200
Therésa: light here and there. And for what the rest of eternity?

366
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,200
Therésa: But let's get into the comments, huh! Reminder, the game

374
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,760
Therésa: Okay, Well, I think that's a good one to end on.

375
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,240
Therésa: I've got to get to a meeting with my caseworker, Sharon.

376
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,679
Therésa: I don't want to jinx it, but I've been feeling

377
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,919
Therésa: pretty good about my unfinished business lately, so don't be

378
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,560
