This 11 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: is Strange Things Warrant. I am Joshua Kee Warren, and 12 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: each week on this show, I'll be bringing you brand 13 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird experiments you 14 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: can do at home, and a lot more. On this 15 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: edition of the show, If I Were God, and I'm 16 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: not just talking about me, I want you to also 17 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: say if I were God. It starts to bring up 18 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: some very interesting questions and I promise you I'm going 19 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: to make a point here. There is a lesson now. 20 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: I called this show If I Were God, Sure in 21 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: order to capture your attention and be kind of sensational. 22 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: But I believe shortly you're going to start thinking about 23 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: some new things on a new level. Now, let me 24 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: start by saying it would be easy for me to 25 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: simply say that if I were God, I could just 26 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: dictate things from the clouds like Zeus. That sounds nice, 27 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: doesn't it. So I might dictate things like no more 28 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: loud mufflers and vehicles and my neighborhood. If you have 29 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: a car or a motorcycle that goes rubber, you're not 30 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: going to Heaven. Okay, I could I I would be 31 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: tempted to do that if I were Zeus. Seriously, though, 32 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: if just if don't don't do that, don't drive those 33 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: vehicles through neighborhoods. Listen to me, do the right thing. 34 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: Or I could say, if I were God, if you 35 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: try to put an onion on a house salad, it 36 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: bursts into flames because onions do not belong on top 37 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: of the house salad. And I don't know how that 38 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: even started. Or how about this, Uh, if you take 39 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: a job off operating a leaf blower, and now you know, 40 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm not even going to go there. Look, I would 41 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: just make leaf blowers silent. That's a nicer solution. You 42 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: might be able to tell. As I'm getting older, I 43 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: have more and more of a problem with noise. And 44 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: of course you have to realize I'm always recording things. 45 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm in the broadcasting business. Look, and these are these 46 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: are examples of what you might think I'm talking about 47 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: making dictations like that. But I'm not talking about that. 48 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking about something that is much more meaningful and 49 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: realistic when it comes to thinking about yourself and your 50 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: relationship to the universe. Okay, so let me get into 51 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: what I really mean here. I wrote this book which 52 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: you could to get as an e book called Finding 53 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Your Magic, how to Hack Reality through Lucid Living. If 54 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: you go to my website, there is a link to 55 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: the Curiosity Shop and you can find it there and 56 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: you can download it, and you can also hear me 57 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: read this to you. As a matter of fact, it 58 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: costs less than it used to because all the wands 59 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: are sold out. That used to come with a wand, 60 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: but I lowered the price because the wands are sold 61 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: out and I'm not making any more of those. But 62 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: there is a section which gives you sort of a 63 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: personality test to help you figure out more about who 64 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: you are and the things that will help you manifest 65 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,799 Speaker 1: what you want in life and have a better life, 66 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: and really to ultimately determine what your purpose and life is, 67 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter how hard you work, you are 68 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: never going to succeed in life unless you are in 69 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: alignment with your purpose. We all have a certain purpose 70 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: to fulfill here and so I will tell you all 71 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: the questions that you ask. There are five questions that 72 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself, and you'll learn those if 73 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: you read Finding Your Magic. But one of the most 74 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: significant ones is how do you describe a perfect world 75 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: according to you? So, in other words, if I give 76 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: you a pad and I say, look, whatever you write 77 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: down on this pad is going to become reality. You 78 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: tell me how it all works. You tell me what 79 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: the planet looks like, and is it made of cotton 80 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: candy with unicorns flying around? Or you know, what is it? 81 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: What is it? And you never know what a person 82 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: is going to come up with when he or she 83 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: asks that question, Uh, you know, how do you do? 84 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: Or when that question is asked, how do you describe 85 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: a perfect world according to you? Because what usually happens 86 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: is that we are always complaining about something in life, 87 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of that is because we're inspired to 88 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: always feel like there's something wrong by you know, the 89 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: news media that's telling you all all the problems and 90 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: how everything's going to hell in a handbasket, et cetera. 91 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: And what I find is that if you actually, however, 92 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: sit down and you start saying, well, if I were God, 93 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: could I do a better job? You start to realize 94 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: that maybe you're being a little bit too harsh and 95 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: a little bit too too critical when it comes to 96 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: how you're viewing the reality around you. I mean, do 97 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: you realize that you can look out there, and I 98 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: mean you see these turquoise oceans and striking sweeping mountains 99 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: and emerald plains, and the amazing symmetry, the symmetrical pyramid 100 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: of animals and life, and the clear shining sun and 101 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: moon and stars and all the people and create true's 102 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: and music and flavors and feelings you love. You see 103 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: how perfectly it all fits together, despite the fact that 104 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: it does hurt horribly sometimes. And we're going to get 105 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: into that in a minute, and I'll show you where 106 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm leading even more clearly with all this, but as 107 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: an entitled human, we often feel that we don't have 108 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: enough enough of fill in the blank enough stuff. I mean, 109 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: think of Yoda, the simplicity of of living there in 110 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: the robe. How much do you need? I mean, think 111 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: of your life and you know that it's true, how 112 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: much do you really need? And so much is provided here. 113 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: A lot of the problems that we have are problems 114 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: that come from us filling our minds with the negative 115 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: thoughts that are based upon people who are ultimately advertising 116 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: some solution to a problem that you didn't even know 117 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: that you had. But I'm not saying that life is 118 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: all peaches and cream. As a matter of fact, there 119 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: is a curse upon all of us that I'm going 120 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: to get to here shortly. But before we dig into 121 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: that inevitable fact, I just want you to start thinking 122 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: about how that you can make the most of your 123 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: reality and how you can start manifesting good things in 124 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: your life for yourself and for other people. Almost magically, 125 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: if you start to improve your viewpoint on the universe. 126 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: So instead of thinking like there is a big bad 127 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: world out there and maybe there is some God that 128 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: allows bad things to happen, what if you start reworking 129 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: your mindset and you say, all right, even if there 130 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: is a God that's like a big zeus sitting up 131 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: there in the sky, what if that God is not 132 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: actually omnipotent? What if he or she or it actually 133 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: cannot do anything it wants? It also has this framework 134 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: to operate within, this canvas, to function within these rules 135 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: that we often call the laws of nature or the 136 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: laws of physics, and everything still has to happen and 137 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: cycle through that. But regardless of how it all works, 138 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: what I find is that it is true that what 139 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: you project out to the universe determines how the universe 140 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: treats you. And you know, I had to keep pitching 141 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: books I've written, but in my book Used the Force, 142 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: a Jedi's Guide the Law of Attraction. Also on my website, 143 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: I do talk about the importance of having a loving 144 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: relationship with the universe where you wake up every day 145 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: and in one way or another, you basically take a 146 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: moment and you imagine that the universe is a living, conscious, aware, 147 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: interactive thing and you say mentally to it, sincerely to it, 148 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: I love you and thank you, and again you can 149 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: say it different ways, but just say I love you 150 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: and thank you. Even if you don't believe that the 151 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: whole universe is one big, conscious mind. The weird thing is, 152 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: if you start treating it like it is, then you 153 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: will start to see it behaving like it is. And 154 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,359 Speaker 1: suddenly this is when you realize, Hey, maybe I understand 155 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: what it means to say e R God's that you 156 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: are a creator. You're a participant in this process right 157 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: that energy flows where attention goes. And if you want 158 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: to make more money, sometimes the best thing you can do, 159 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: for example, is not to think about always needing more money. Uh. 160 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: When we come back from our first break, I'm gonna 161 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: give you some interesting thoughts on how you can start 162 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: changing your relationship with the universe to make better things 163 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: happen for you. But then we're gonna dig into the 164 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: dark side a little bit, because there are people out 165 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: there who believe that this may actually be hell. This 166 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: world that you and I are living in right now 167 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: might actually be hell. And you know what, there's a 168 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: very good argument that could be made for that, And 169 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about that argument and some 170 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: other various thoughts when we come back.

I'm your host, 202 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole 203 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, 204 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: where every day is golden and every night is silver. 205 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: You have probably been put to sleep for a medical 206 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: procedure at some point in your life. Right one time, 207 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: I had a simple medical procedure, but I had to 208 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: undergo complete anesthesia and they used propa fall, which is 209 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: the substance that killed Michael Jackson. It became really well 210 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: known and infamous after that, but it's it's a very common, 211 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: safe thing to use. But what struck me is that 212 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: I and you've heard me say this, AM an extremely 213 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: vivid dreamer whenever. I don't care if it's a nap 214 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: or I lay down to sleep for eight hours or more. 215 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: I just have from the moment I drift off to 216 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: the moment I wake up, I mean insane dreams and 217 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: I remember them remarkably well. And it and it really 218 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: was sort of amazing to me that when I went 219 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: in to have this procedure, of course I had an IVY, 220 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: and uh, they didn't even say like, okay, here we go, 221 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: lights out. It was just like I was, I was 222 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: gone until I woke up in the recovery room, you know, 223 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: and there was just it was just literally like a 224 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: complete gap in my presence here on earth. And I 225 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: know you know what I'm talking about. I mean, thank 226 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: god it works that way, That's how it's supposed to work. 227 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,359 Speaker 1: But it really does help you understand that your consciousness 228 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: is some kind of a flow of of information. It's 229 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: almost like a flow of divine information that is being 230 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: channeled through this word whole brain back and forth between 231 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: here and some greater mind, and that there's an enormous 232 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: amount of power there that you can tap into if 233 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: you if you regulate it. Remember, energy flows where attention goes. 234 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: People worry about money all the time, and unfortunately they 235 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: send that worry out and it attracts more things for 236 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: you to worry about. Uh. In fact, when it comes 237 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: to money, one of the best things you can do 238 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: is try to become numb to whatever stresses you out 239 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: about money. Just don't even let it bother you. Don't 240 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: think about it, and only be excited by thoughts that 241 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: give you joy about what you do, like like about 242 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: having money and how you spend it and the fun 243 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: things to do with it, and that goes for everything 244 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: in your life. So the lesson here it is, first off, 245 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: could you do a better job if you were God? Well, 246 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 1: I bet you can't. We can't know why that is, 247 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,719 Speaker 1: we're not allowed to know. But what you can do 248 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: is appreciate the wonderful world that you live in and 249 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: how creative you can be in order to make good 250 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: things happen for yourself, to manifest good things. And you know, 251 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: don't don't be a a whimp. Uh, don't have fear. 252 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: And if you think I'm right about this, because I 253 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: think people need to hear it over and over right now, 254 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: because there is this enormous amount of fear plaguing the 255 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: world like never in uh certainly in my lifetime. UM, 256 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: if you think that people need to hear this, I 257 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: hope that you'll send this podcast to anyone and everyone 258 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: that you care about. But I also want to realize, 259 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: I want you to really wise that I'm not naive 260 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: here and not everything is all peachy keen. The reason 261 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: is okay here. Here is why some people believe that 262 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: this world we're living in maybe hell. That is because 263 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: even if you really do everything that you believe you're 264 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: supposed to do to gain some happiness and health, if 265 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: you eat right and you exercise, and you don't drink 266 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: or smoke or do any kinds of unnecessary drugs, and 267 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: you get a good stable job, and you raise a 268 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: nice family, and you you you know you you work 269 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: every day until it's time for you to retire, and 270 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: you're charitable and you get out there and you help 271 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: your neighbors and in your community. Even if you do 272 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: everything right and you live to be a hundred and 273 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 1: twenty years old, you're still going to suffer throughout that 274 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: entire process, because even if you are fortunate enough so 275 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: that nothing bad happens to you. You are going to 276 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: have to see bad things happen to people all around 277 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: you that you care about. Look at what it's like 278 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: just to have a pet and to go through the 279 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: pet dying. And you know, I've I've told you before. 280 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: I've had a lot of friends who lived to be elderly, 281 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: and they say the worst part about getting old is 282 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: watching all the people that you love die who don't 283 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: make it. So there is inevitably going to be suffering. 284 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: And I know that some religions, like Buddhism, acknowledge that 285 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: more than others, and some people think of Buddhism as 286 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: being more of a philosophy than a religion. But it 287 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, because the point is being that this is true, 288 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: and everything that you work for in your life is 289 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: eventually going to be, you know, worthless to some or 290 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: maybe not everything, but like your physical stuff, you know, 291 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 1: the physical stuff is all going to disintegrate. You can 292 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: see why there are people who believe that life is suffering. 293 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: And before I get into um uh, well, let me 294 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: put it this way, that they believe that life is 295 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: so much suffering that this is hell. And and there 296 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: are various rungs of hell, and that you are within 297 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: one of those rungs. Before I get more into that, 298 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: I just this reminded me, speaking of suffering and how 299 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: these kind of eerie tragedies happen. Of course, I own 300 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: the new Haunted Boulder City tour, which is about thirty 301 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: minutes outside of Las Vegas and uh, which, by the way, 302 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: is you wouldn't believe how popular this tour has instantly become. 303 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean, all the tours are sold out pretty much 304 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: and so um. But I've been reading more and more 305 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: and studying more and more and learning more and more 306 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: about that town, because that's the town where all the 307 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: workers lived who built the Hoover dam And I was 308 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: reading about a lot of these workers and listen to this. 309 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: The morning of December twentie of nineteen twenty two, a 310 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: surveyor named J. G. Tyranny slipped from a barge near 311 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: the Hoover Damn site and drowned, becoming the first man 312 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: to die associated with the project. Exactly thirteen years later 313 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: to the day, his son, Patrick Tierney became the last 314 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: man to die on the project when he fell to 315 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: his death from an intake tower. Wow, you know you 316 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: look at stuff like that and you go, how is 317 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: it's it goes back to the synchronicity and the fact 318 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: there are no coincidences. As terrible as that is, it's 319 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: more evidence of some kind of a design here behind 320 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: all this and why it almost seems like some people 321 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: are just destined for tragedies to suffer more, and that 322 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: that's part of what they're supposed to learn. I guess, 323 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's it's terrible that it works that way. 324 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: But if you envision that maybe this life actually, let's 325 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: say it's true, let's go with this hypothesis. You might 326 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: even call it a theory, whatever, you let's go with 327 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: this idea that this world is actually hell, that you 328 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: and I didn't get it in one of our past lives. 329 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: Like we we we were foolish, we did bad things, 330 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: we did not learn our lesson, and so we've come 331 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: here to perhaps get another opportunity and have a chance 332 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: to learn what we were supposed to learn. If that 333 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: were the case, and this is a realm of punishment, 334 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: well then obviously there are different levels of punishment, because 335 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, you have some people who clearly suffer more 336 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: than others, whether it's from a genetic, physical ailment, or 337 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: just constant tragedy. I mean, we have these curses that 338 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: seem to befall certain families, like the Kennedy's, for example. 339 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: But then think about people who actually end up going 340 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: to prison, who really do uh? And and of course 341 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: we want to get into all the reasons that people 342 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: go to prison. I know that there are people who 343 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: go out and they're just evil people and they do 344 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: evil things and they belong in prison. But then you 345 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: have people who may not belong in prison who end 346 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: up there because of some very bad circumstances I mean, 347 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: not to at least of which you know, not not 348 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: least of which being people who are innocent who end 349 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: up in prison. And uh, I hope that you never 350 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: end up in prison, and I certainly hope none of 351 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: us do. I do know that some of my listeners 352 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: have been to prison and and they've learned some powerful 353 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: lessons there. And when it comes to what being in 354 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: prison does to you mentally, how it affects your outlook, 355 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: it's it's really interesting to study some of these extremely 356 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: haunted prisons that exists all over the world, and you 357 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: know what kinds of ghosts do we have in these prisons? 358 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: Are they different than regular ghosts? You might say. And 359 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: my good buddy David Weatherly, he wrote this book that 360 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: came out recently. He actually co authored it with Ross Allison, 361 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: and it's called Haunted Prisons. And David gave me permission 362 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: to read one of the actress to you. I don't 363 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: have time to read the whole chapter, but I thought 364 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: i'd read you some interesting parts since I'm in Nevada. 365 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: I just picked the Nevada State Prison in Carson City, 366 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: and uh, I think that you know, it's it's interesting 367 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: to think about life in general, not to mention life 368 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: in prison, but think about afterlife in prison.

Do you think that 385 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: when someone dies in prison that he or she might 386 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: actually be afraid to leave the prison? Uh? For one thing, 387 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people just get used to confinement. It 388 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: reminds me of the movie The Shawshank Redemption, when the 389 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: old man who's been in prison for decades can't hack 390 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: it suddenly being thrust outside of prison into the regular world, 391 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: and it's just it's overwhelming, and so he just commits 392 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: suicide as a freeman. And then you have people who 393 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: are in prison who are told on a daily basis, 394 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: reminded on a daily basis, you're a bad person. You're 395 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: a bad person. That's why you're here. You're a bad person. 396 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: And so when that person finally dies. Is that person 397 00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: afraid of passing on into that tunnel of life or 398 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: whatever where there may be some other form of spiritual 399 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: punishment on top of what has happened here in life. 400 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: You know, It's one of those things like if you 401 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: are if you're worried about that, or if you have 402 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: the slightest guilty conscience, might you want to delay that 403 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: process of facing your judgment if you can't. We don't 404 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: know the answers to these questions, but it's interesting when 405 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: you think about haunted prisons and ghosts that reside in them. 406 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: I mentioned, of course, David Weatherly co authored this new 407 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: book it's only been out, oh gosh, not long, called 408 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: Haunted Prisons with Ross Allison. I'll tell you what I've 409 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: published over twenty books, and I've never co authored a book. Uh. 410 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: I just I can't really imagine co authoring something creative 411 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: like that because I don't play well with others. I 412 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: want things to be my way. But when David Weatherly, 413 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: the Great David Weatherly contacted me and asked me to 414 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: write the foreword to his book Monsters of the Tar Hills, 415 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: State Cryptids and Legends of North Carolina. Boy, I was 416 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: just thrilled and honored and delighted to do that. It's 417 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: i'd I'd write a foreword for him anytime. He's one 418 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: of my favorite authors. So he gave me permission to 419 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: read some of this chapter for you from Haunted Prisons. 420 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: This book is on Amazon dot Com. You can get 421 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: it for less than twenty dollars. And I figured, well, 422 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm doing all this research on Nevada. I'm in Las Vegas. 423 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: Let's read some about the Nevada State Prison, which is 424 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: in Carson City. At least that's that's where the remains are. 425 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: So here we go. Just I'll skip around a little bit. Uh. 426 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: They write, where would you find a prison with a 427 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: wide ranging history that includes a mass escape, the first 428 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: execution by lethal gas, and a prison casino where else 429 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: but the rug state of Nevada. The Nevada State Prison 430 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: operated from its establishment in eighteen sixty two until it 431 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: was closed in twenty twelve. At the time of its closing, 432 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: it was one of the oldest prisons still in operation 433 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: in the United States, and at the time of its closure, 434 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,719 Speaker 1: the prison had an inmate capacity of eight hundred and 435 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: forty one. Beyond hangings and firing squads. The prison was 436 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: the first in the United States to execute someone by 437 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: gas chamber when twenty nine year old G John was 438 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,239 Speaker 1: put to death. G John was a member of a 439 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: Chinese criminal organization called Hip Sing Tong. He was tried 440 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: and convicted for the murder of an elderly man. Officials 441 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: first attempted to execute John by pumping poison gas directly 442 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: into his cell, and when this failed, a makeshift gas 443 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: chamber was set up in the prisons butcher shop. John 444 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: was put to death on February the eight of nineteen 445 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: twenty four, with witnesses watching him through a small window. 446 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: Thirty two men were put to death in gas chambers 447 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: at the prison from nineteen twenty four through nineteen seventy nine. 448 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: In nineteen five, serial killer Carol Cole became the first 449 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: death row inmate to be executed by lethal injection when 450 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: the state made the method the official process for execution. 451 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: In total, forty three inmates were executed at the site. 452 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: When gambling was legalized in the state of Nevada, the 453 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: prison made an unusual move. It opened a casino. The 454 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: Big House casino operated from nineteen thirty two until nineteen 455 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 1: sixty seven, and it was the only penal casino in 456 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: the United States, allowing the prisons inmates to gamble at 457 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: table games. As a result of the casino no operation, 458 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: the prison even had its own currency coined at the 459 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: prison itself. The currency consisted of brass tokens, ranging in 460 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: value from a nickel to five dollars. The prison currency 461 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: was utilized inside until the prison closed. I mean paused 462 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: for a second. I you know, I need to look 463 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: for one of those. That'd be a neat thing to 464 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: add to my collection of weird spooky stuff. Anyway, back 465 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: to the chapter, they write, some believe the angry ghost 466 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: of murderer G. John is one of the spirits still 467 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: lingering in the prison. Perhaps John is seeking revenge for 468 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: his death by lethal gas. As with many prisons, the 469 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: walls of numerous cells still bear the scratches of past prisoners. 470 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: Some are notes about loved ones, others clearly counting the 471 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: days of their imprisonment. The seals on the third floor 472 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: cell house are said to be an area of high 473 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: paranormal activity. In general, there are a lot of active 474 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: spots in the prison, and reports range from disembodied voices 475 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: and strange noises to weird light anomalies. Some witnesses claimed 476 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: they've been touched by something unseen when inside the prison. 477 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: The mess hall and kitchen areas are said to be 478 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: especially active spots for the ghosts that linger in the prison. 479 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: Metal on metal sounds, bangs, and disembodied voices have all 480 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: been picked up in the area. It's not surprising, really, 481 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: since the rooms were considered dangerous when the prison was 482 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: an out operation, and racial riot reportedly led to a 483 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: murder in the area at one point. Several people have 484 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: also reported seeing shadow figures in the prison. These weird 485 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: humanoid shapes are often said to appear menacing, and witnesses 486 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: have said they believe the figures are sinister and evil. 487 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: Whether they are a manifestation of residual energy from the 488 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: depths of the prison or the spirits of deceased inmates 489 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: is a matter that many investigators debate. Just as unsettling 490 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: as the shadow figures is the reported creepy laugh the 491 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: numerous people have heard inside the prison, and some have 492 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: even captured the sound on digital recorders, says The Nevada 493 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 1: State Prison was added to the National Registry of Historic 494 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: Places in and work is being done to preserve the 495 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: site and its history. Thank you to David Weatherly and 496 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: Ross Allison for allowing me to read that part of 497 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: their book Haunted Prisons again US an Amazon, and they 498 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: have sections called types of Prisons, Why Haunted Prisons, and 499 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: then prisons from all over the country. So you should 500 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: you should definitely check this out. Andersonville. Can you imagine 501 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: that site that was a Civil War era prison? You know, 502 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: I I'm not sure if I've ever talked about this 503 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: on a podcast or a radio show before, but I 504 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,959 Speaker 1: did something in a prison one time. I was investigating 505 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: a prison and I did something that, uh is kind 506 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: of horrifying. And it's one of those things like where 507 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: I feel once again like I should be like, I'm 508 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: not proud of this, but I had an opportunity and 509 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: I kind of had to take it and I don't 510 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: really regret it. I don't know how you're gonna feel 511 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: about it. Some of you will think that this is 512 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: um possible, possibly if pensive. I don't know, but I'm 513 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: just gonna tell you because it's true. So I have 514 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: investigated a number of haunted prisons, and uh, many years ago, 515 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to investigate one of the most 516 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: famous haunted prisons. I'm not gonna tell you which one. 517 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: And I was with a very well known paranormal investigator, 518 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: and so we were getting some special access to things 519 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: at this prison. And at one point we this is 520 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: after kind of after hours, so to speak, and we 521 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: were taken into a room where there were lots of 522 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: artifacts from the prison's history, and one of the things 523 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: they had there was the black hood that was put 524 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: over the head of men as they were hanged. And oh, 525 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: I can't remember how many men had been hanged with 526 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: this hood on. I'm sure it was dozens and maybe more. 527 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and look, but a lot 528 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 1: of men had this black hood put over their head, 529 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: and then the news tied around it, and you could 530 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: still see, as a matter of fact, some traces of 531 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: fluids and things on this hood. And it was not 532 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: behind glass. There was a plaque there that had the 533 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 1: history of the thing. And at one point he and 534 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: I were left unsupervised, and we looked at each other 535 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: and had that mischievous spark in our eyes, and I 536 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: reached out and I took the hood and I put 537 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: it over my head because I wanted to see what 538 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: would happen if I would see something ghostly or feel 539 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: something ghostly.

I am Paranormal 559 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. And 560 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: this is probably a rhetorical question, but would you have 561 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: done what I did? Would you have taken that old 562 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: black stained cloth hood that has been used for generations, 563 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: the same one over and over. It's it's it's a 564 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: part of the kit with the scaffolding, you know, to 565 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: put over the head of a condemned man. Would you 566 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: have taken that thing and slipped it over your head? Well? 567 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: I did it, and I kept it over my head 568 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: for I would say a good thirty seconds, which is 569 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: quite a while. And I did definitely feel just really 570 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 1: really weird. Really I'm not sure what the word is. 571 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: I felt out of place. I felt disoriented. Um, I 572 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: felt like I was violating something. But I did not 573 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: have a vision and I didn't see anything ghostly Okay, 574 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: so nothing like that happened. It was just I think 575 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 1: the thought of knowing what I was doing it was, 576 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, it was just one of those very unsettling moments. 577 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: And I'd have to think about it a lot longer 578 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: to see if I could even try to describe it 579 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,960 Speaker 1: better than that. But when I was then I took 580 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: it off of my head and I gave it to 581 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: the other investigator, and he did the same thing. And 582 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 1: we both said when neither one of us saw a 583 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: ghost or had some kind of like profound flash of 584 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: action some movie that appeared nothing like that. It was 585 00:41:52,320 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: just a very uncomfortable feeling. And you think, what could 586 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,439 Speaker 1: be more haunted than that a piece of fabric over 587 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,439 Speaker 1: the head of a person who knows he's about to die, 588 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 1: so he's he's anticipating it and then dies, and his 589 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,879 Speaker 1: spirit to some degree, you know, passes from his head 590 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: through this fabric. It kind of reminds you of the 591 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: concept behind the shroud of Tran, doesn't it. That's another 592 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: thing to think about when it comes to like the 593 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: idea of being a perfect person. If you believe that 594 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: the that the story of Jesus is true, well even 595 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: if he was a model perfect citizen, look at the 596 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: suffering he endured. But anyway, um, I do not believe 597 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: that you could say by being around that thing, you know, 598 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: having it on your head for thirty seconds, you're able 599 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: to gauge how haunted it is. I would imagine that 600 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: if you had that thing in your house, a lot 601 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: of spooky stuff would happened around it. And but it's 602 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 1: in a museum. It's in a collection in a museum 603 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: where it really belongs. But if I had an opportunity 604 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: to study something like that more extensively, I would probably 605 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 1: take it. So I'm sorry if you didn't like that story, 606 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: but I'll just figured I may as we'll share that 607 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,720 Speaker 1: experience with the world. It's just more information to you know. Again, 608 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: who who? Who does that? Right? Hey, I want to 609 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: give you another interesting little ghost story here real quick. Um, 610 00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: as you know right now, it's the time for this. 611 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: And my Haunted Asheville Ghost tours have been a huge 612 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: hit for twenty five years Haunted Asheville dot com. That's 613 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, and gosh, we we have so many 614 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: people from all over the world on those tours. But 615 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: the then the Boulder, the the the Haunted Boulder City Tour, 616 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: which is thirty minutes outside of Vegas. This is a 617 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: new thing. And uh, there is this new book out 618 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 1: called Haunted Las Vegas by Janice Oberding and this is 619 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,280 Speaker 1: brand new, which is weird because there's another book called 620 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: Haunted Las Vegas that was written in by a man 621 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 1: named Paul Papa, So same name, two different books shows 622 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: you how haunted this place is. But I started reading 623 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 1: some of the stories that she had written about things 624 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 1: that supposedly happened near Boulder City. And if you're in 625 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: the area, just go to Haunted Boulder City dot com 626 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: to take the tour. I created it, okay, so she wrote. 627 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: Years ago, an elderly couple was driving along a lonely 628 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: stretch of the Boulder Highway outside of Las Vegas. They 629 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: were headed home happily. They agreed that this had been 630 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 1: one of their best vacations. They had enjoyed a good 631 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: run at the slot machines. The wife's coin purse was 632 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 1: four than it had been when they arrived in Las 633 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: Vegas the previous week, a great success. Their annual vacation 634 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: to the desert city had been both fun and profitable, 635 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: and now they were already engrossed in plans for next 636 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 1: year's jumped. Suddenly, their car smashed into something. Pulling over 637 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: to the side of the road, the old man got 638 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: out to see what he had hit. An animal lover, 639 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 1: He hated the thought, but there it was. A dying 640 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 1: cow lay in the middle of the road. There was 641 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: nothing he could do for the pitiful animal. He couldn't 642 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: give it anything to ease its suffering or put it 643 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,360 Speaker 1: out of its misery. And as he stood staring down 644 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 1: at the cow, a large truck came barreling down the 645 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 1: highway toward him. Fear seized the old woman. Frantic that 646 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: her husband might be killed, she jumped out of the 647 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: car and waved her arms wildly in warning to the truck. 648 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 1: The truck driver tried desperately to break and avoid man 649 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of the road. Unfortunately, he could not 650 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: prevent his truck from sliding into the old gentleman, killing 651 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: him instantly. Since that tragic events, several people have seen 652 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: the elderly man on the side of the road, and 653 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 1: some have slowed down to offer the old stir a ride. 654 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: He never accepts that, merely waves the car on as 655 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: if to say, you go on, I'm going to be 656 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: here for a while, a very long while. Now. What 657 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: do you think about that? That sounds like a a conscious, 658 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: interactive entity right waving the car on, unless it was 659 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 1: just an imprint of him doing that. I tell you 660 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: one thing. If he hit a cow, he was lucky 661 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:59,359 Speaker 1: that they didn't both die. Last year, my mom and 662 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: dad were in the Smokey Mountains area around Cherokee, North Carolina, 663 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 1: and they were driving home at night and round it 664 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:14,000 Speaker 1: a bend and hit a black bear, totaled the car. 665 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 1: It put both of them in the hospital. But my 666 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,399 Speaker 1: dad got the worst of it. I mean, he had 667 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: to have an operation because he you know, he had 668 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,839 Speaker 1: some real damage to his abdominal area. But thank god 669 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: they came through it fine. Um boy, when you hit 670 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: something of that size, that can be instantly deadly. Again. 671 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 1: That book Haunted Las Vegas brand new Janice Oberding. Really 672 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:46,920 Speaker 1: good book. It's available on Amazon. All right, let's see 673 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: if I can squeeze an email in here. This is 674 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: from Mary Jane Collins, who lives in Nashville, Tennessee. She says, 675 00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: after waking one night and being awake for a few moments, stretching, yawning, 676 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,880 Speaker 1: and preparing to go back to sleep, I noticed a swirlly. 677 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: Excuse me, I noticed a slowly swirling mass of energy 678 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: in the room with me. I'll repeat that. She says, 679 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: I noticed a slowly swirling mass of energy in the 680 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: room with me. I rubbed my eyes and looked again, 681 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: and it started to come together in the form of 682 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 1: a vertically oriented, swirling galaxy shape, with what resembled a 683 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 1: black hole at the center. I rubbed my eyes again 684 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 1: and it was still there. Very interesting to look at. 685 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: It looked as if it had iridescent clear colors overlaid 686 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: on the room's background. You could see right through it, 687 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 1: like a heat mirage on a hot road in the summertime. 688 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: Intrigued by it, I got up and walked over to 689 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: it to get a closer look. I wanted to touch 690 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: it or stick my head inside and have a look, 691 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: And then a quick fear came over me that if 692 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: I did, I may not come back after what would 693 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: seem like being sucked in with the force akin to 694 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: an airline toilet flush. I stood and looked at it 695 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 1: for a while and decided that was enough and did 696 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,239 Speaker 1: nothing to break the apparent plane of energy. I laid 697 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 1: back down and just watched it for a little while 698 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: a little while longer, and it slowly faded away. I 699 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: haven't seen it since. I still wonder what it was 700 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 1: and why. What would have happened if I hadn't become 701 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: afraid of the unknown, Why if I had touched it 702 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,799 Speaker 1: or stuck my head in the center to have a 703 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 1: look and see. It was fascinating and creepy all at 704 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 1: the same time. Reminds me of when I saw my 705 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 1: first ghost and I did reach out and touch it, 706 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 1: and it was cold and made the hair stand up 707 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: on my knuckle.
