Welcome to Spooky, a paranormal podcast, joined doctor Cindy Little

and Alison Robles as they journey through the realms of
3
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:18.480
the supernatural, mysterious, and downright eerie, from ghostly apparitions to poltergeists,
4
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.199
from haunted houses to strange phenomena. Prepare to have your

00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.320

6
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.640

7
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:32.240
into the unknown.
8
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:42.600
If you dare. Okay, welcome to Spooky everybody. Today. We were,
9
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.640
you know, Allison and I this past week were kind
10
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.159
of like, Gee, what's the topic going to be this time?
11
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.640
And we were kind of drawing a blank because we've
12
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.439
gone through a lot of stuff. We've covered a lot
13
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.640
of things, and yes, there's still a lot more to cover.
14
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:59.039
But Alison said, hey, I know, let's do an episode
15
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:04.359
on what not to do on an investigation. And I'm like, oh,
16
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.640
that's good, that's good. We haven't done that. And I
17
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.239
tell you what, I came up with like two pages
18
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:14.599
worth of stuff in about ten minutes. And Allison was
19
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.239
saying she came up with a bunch of stuff as well.
20
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.359
So this is going to be a pretty full episode.
21
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:27.799
My hunches is that we're going to be cross discussing things,
22
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.439
things that are the same. So so yeah, what not
23
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.120
to do? Do you want to open it?
24
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.519
Yeah? Sure, God for it. So to be fair, I
25
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.079
had notes. I can't find them, but I remember them
26
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.920
all of full disclosure.
27
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.319
I think you can wing it. This is for.
28
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.799
Even someone that's not as seasoned. I would say, I'm
29
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.920
still not wealth seasoned, but I'm pretty well seasoned. You're
30
00:01:57.959 --> 00:01:59.680
well seen and investigating.
31
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:01.319
This is pretty simple.
32
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.280
Yes, stuff for us to talk about. Yes, but my
33
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:13.080
number one thing was respect is being respectful. A lot
34
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:21.800
of investigators go in being obnoxiously disrespectful to the location,
35
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.479
to whatever spirits might be there or may not be there.
36
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.599
That was my thing.

You never know who or what
37
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.680
you're talking to, and they go in being so disrespectful.
38
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.280
M I completely agree. And it's funny because you just
39
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.719
hit like four on my list with just saying that
40
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:49.960
being disrespectful and I completely agree with that. I'm looking
41
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:56.960
at my stuff here and yeah, where you get the
42
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.719
ghost hunters that? And we've all seen them on TV
43
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:07.439
where they summon or they provoke, and you're absolutely right,
44
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:09.560
you know you have a tiger by the tail. We
45
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.000
really don't know what the paranormal is at the end
46
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.919
of the day. And if you go running in there,
47
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.360
you show yourself demon get out here right now, blah
48
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.599
blah blah. You know what would happen? And I got
49
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.520
to thinking about this when I was writing this up.
50
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.879
It's like, what happened if that demon did decide to
51
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.800
come out and kick your butt? You know, It's like,
52
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.960
what would you do. Do you think that, you know,
53
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.319
having your little sage stick with you or your little
54
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.479
cross with you is going to you know, really handle
55
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:47.199
a pissed off demonic entity. I seriously doubted. And so yeah,
56
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.759
And also this made me think of the whole provoking thing.
57
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.759
This made me think of what you've talked about with
58
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.159
Kindred's Spirits where and I remember seeing an episode that
59
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:08.840
you recommended on energy and how we as investigators can
60
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.400
come into a place and there's a real strong possibility
61
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.680
that we can leave energy, and so then the place
62
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:22.199
becomes like this battery of the energy where it could
63
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.600
be either very positive energy or it could be really
64
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.639
negative energy. And if you're coming in there, I think
65
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:34.199
of Haunted Hillhouse. So many investigators have been through there.
66
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.399
By the way, I think we've mentioned it before. It's
67
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.839
a haunted venue in Mineral Wells, Texas. It's really super
68
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:47.399
active and it's very very commercial, so lots of people
69
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.759
come through there. You can go visit there and do
70
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.800
tours and do investigations, but they're pretty pricey. They priced
71
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.279
us out, that's for sure. Last night last I think
72
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.079
was like one thousand dollars for a weekend or something.
73
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:07.800
I know, crazy even with ten people. I mean, come on, yeah, anyway,
74
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.959
but yes, I thought that is like are we leaving
75
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:18.120
residual fear or anger? You know? And what if you
76
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.360
summon something and you go on your merry way and
77
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.680
then the next people that come in have to deal
78
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:30.600
with whatever it is that you summoned. So yeah, I
79
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.040
ride along those same lines. And when it comes to
80
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:40.519
people in property ash, yeah, it's like, don't even get
81
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:47.399
me started on that simple straightforward things like, for example,
82
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:54.560
don't post your findings online without permission. I've done investigations
83
00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:02.360
in churches, in historic homes, in kid friendly venues here
84
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.399
in town that they don't want to be known for
85
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:12.360
being spooky or haunted, or even somebody's home if say
86
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:17.399
you post it on YouTube or TikTok or whatever, and
87
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:23.199
then you don't properly keep the home or the place confidential.
88
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.160
You could have people coming up there, oh hey, I
89
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.360
saw you're on a house online, you know, and getting
90
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:38.800
people getting pestered. Also related to that is going into
91
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:45.079
places really kind of guns blazing with We've got logos
92
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:49.560
all over our vehicles, we've got logos ghost hunting stuff
93
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.680
all over our shirts and everything, and bringing in a
94
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:59.160
whole bunch of people and causing this big ruckus there Again,
95
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:04.560
the same thing if especially a homeowner, if they're like, Okay,
96
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.920
we have some paranormal activity going on here, but we
97
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.680
don't want the whole neighborhood to know it. You know.
98
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:18.079
It's kind of that whole confidentiality thing and of course
99
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:22.480
respect for property. There Again, I had this. I could
100
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.600
not believe this. This is like I wanted to be
101
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.040
this person. I had a group of students I think
102
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:30.279
I've met. I don't know if I mentioned this on
103
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:33.040
the show before. I had a group of students going
104
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.319
through one of our historic homes to do an investigation.
105
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:42.720
And the Historic Waco Society is they're so sweet and
106
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.040
they allow us to go into the homes to investigate
107
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.319
and think you, thank you, thank you, Eric Swanson, y'all
108
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.160
are amazing. But they're museums and they've got antiques in them.
109
00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:01.439
And I had this one adult student. I don't know
110
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.879
what possessed her to do this. She grabs an antique
111
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:11.680
grandfather clock off a table and winds it all the
112
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.439
way up until it's completely tight, and the thing, of course,
113
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.360
starts going crazy. It starts like wong wong bong, you know,
114
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.199
and making all of these ringing noises and everything, and
115
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.160
I mean, we could not turn it off. The docent
116
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.480
had to come in. They could not turn it off.
117
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:32.960
I mean, she basically broke an antique clock. And I'm like,
118
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:38.159
you should know better, you know, don't touch anything. This
119
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:45.799
is a museum. So yeah, I felt I felt so bad.
120
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.840
I was like apologizing like crazy, and I was thinking,
121
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.480
you know, it took me a couple of years to
122
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.399
build a good relationship with these people. I think I
123
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.080
just blew it with this happening now. It's like, how
124
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.600
could you let something like that irresponsible, you know, that
125
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.799
irresponsibile happen. And luckily they were really sweet about it
126
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.000
and they were able to fix the clock and put
127
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:15.000
it back and stuff. Yeah, it's like respecting people, respecting
128
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:21.440
the ghosts, respecting the property. And finally, on that, I
129
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.039
told you a lot of these. Finally on that trespassing
130
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:31.120
Texas especially, you might think, you know, you got to
131
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.360
get permission from owners, but Texas has some like really
132
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.919
really strict trespassing laws. In fact, I put them down here.
133
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.159
They're misdemeanors. But you can either get a Class B misdemeanor,
134
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:51.200
which is most trespassing cases, but that can carry fines
135
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:53.320
up to two thousand dollars in one hundred and eighty
136
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.840
days in jail. And then if you decide to bring
137
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.159
your pew pew along, that could carry finds up to
138
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:06.559
four thousand dollars a year in jail. Geez, exactly exactly,
139
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.120
So you always want to you know. There again it
140
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.559
goes to respect and do you really want to spend
141
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:16.759
a year in Joe? What are you in for? Yeahs
142
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.320
hunting ghost Yeah, you're gonna get so beat up.
143
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.279
And I am glad that you brought that up because
144
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:29.039
that was also on my list, was trespassing. And you know,
145
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.679
just if it's a public park, like I mean here
146
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:37.080
in town, we have Cameron Park. Yeah, obviously easily accessible.
147
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:43.679
Don't really need permission to go out there. But I
148
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:49.080
mean if it's you know, local residents ask because. And
149
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.879
then if it's a hotel like we brought up Emily Morgan,
150
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.080
it's you yes, as a public can go into the
151
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.039
lobby and look around. But it's a hotel, like book
152
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:01.639
a room.
153
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.960
It's so easy to.
154
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:10.679
Book a room, go in, investigate your room. And again, but
155
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.120
book a room, and it can be respectful, walk around.
156
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:16.919
If you're gonna walk around, be respectful with the other
157
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.080
people that are there. Not everyone is into that. Not
158
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:29.120
everyone wants that around them around their energy filled, which
159
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:33.279
is great. That's why you book your own room. You
160
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.679
can do whatever you want in your room and go
161
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.279
do that. I mean, it's and you're not trespassing, you're
162
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.159
paying money to be there, You're doing whatever you can
163
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:50.679
to investigate stuff like that. But some people again just
164
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.679
don't care about doing any of that. They're like, oh,
165
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.279
we're going to go into this hotel and go pretend No.
166
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.440
Yeah, it's like that's that's ridiculous. Who do you think
167
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.879
you are? And I mean, yeah, the guests of course
168
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.799
would rightfully complain, and I mean, and even if you're
169
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.559
a guest at a hotel, I mean, first of all,
170
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.960
some of these historic hotels are just gorgeous. I mean,
171
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.600
why wouldn't you want to book a room? The Emily
172
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.879
Morgan is a perfect example. It's in San Antonio. We've
173
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.120
mentioned it a number of times. It's haunted as heck,
174
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.279
and it's gorgeous. So not only you know, so it's
175
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.519
worth first of all, it's worth every penny you're going
176
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.240
to spend to stay there, just to stay there because
177
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.440
it's so beautiful and has so much history and you
178
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.120
get to ghost hunt and you get to have a
179
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:43.039
legit ghost hunt. Yes, you can investigate your room. You
180
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.120
have access to all the public areas, but yeah, even
181
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.879
in those public areas, you're right, you're sharing those with
182
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:59.440
other guests, be respectful, and yeah, it's it's like, I
183
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:00.919
think it's kind of it's sad that we even have
184
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.519
to go over stuff like this. And I would say
185
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.200
probably ninety nine percent of our listeners out there are
186
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.120
kind of sitting there going duh, which I hope, I
187
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.440
really hope, but there's that you know, that few percent
188
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.120
that might be listening that it's like, hey, knucklehead, you know,
189
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.399
be respectful.
190
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:25.519
It's definitely the younger and I say younger, I mean
191
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:32.000
like newer investigators that maybe don't necessarily know this, and
192
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:36.200
a lot of it, yes, is common sense, but when
193
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.919
you're new to investigating, you're just like, oh, I wanna,
194
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.240
I'm gonna go do this, I'm gonna go on this investigation,
195
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:46.200
and you kind of ignore common sense to do it.
196
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:54.039
Or it's somebody that is joins a team that chooses
197
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:59.200
to ignore those common sense. You could be a well
198
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:03.120
season mistigator join the team, and the team's like, whatever,
199
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.320
we're going to do this anyway. We're gonna poke the
200
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.600
bear in every way possible, right.
201
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.840
Right, And that's yeah, that's that's there again. I mean,
202
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.759
it's that back to the provoking and back to what
203
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.639
I just I don't none, and I'm so glad that
204
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.799
our group. Yes, I'm going to brag on our group
205
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.720
again because well, you know, it's just the best group.
206
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:27.200
I'm sorry everybody, but no, there's really really good groups
207
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.360
out there. But but yeah, it's kind of like, I'm
208
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:34.919
so glad that we don't do stuff like that. We
209
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:39.879
don't provoke, we don't run into places and act all
210
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:44.919
crazy and we're always very respectful of the history of
211
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:50.039
the place and of you know, where we're at, and
212
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.720
of the owners. And and the thing is is if
213
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:58.000
you're trying to I get emails occasionally from people that
214
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.360
are just starting out and they're wanting the number one reason,
215
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.279
they're wanting to join our team. And you know, we
216
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:09.399
really don't have a team. We're just a bunch of
217
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.559
independent investigators that investigate together. And so I say, we
218
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.919
don't have a team. But the number one reason is
219
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:21.960
they want access. They want access to haunted locations. And
220
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.840
I got an email not that long ago from someone
221
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.960
and I was able to say, you know what, I've
222
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.960
been doing this very long time, twenty plus years, and
223
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:37.559
I said, it has taken me several years, several years
224
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:46.000
to build trust and relationships with local business owners, people
225
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:52.399
that are you know, at historical sites. It's not something
226
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:55.120
it's not like the TV shows where you think that
227
00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.639
you're you're just going to be able to waltz in
228
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.600
there and say hey, hey, I'm here to hunt ghosts,
229
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:07.000
and you know, property owners are going to go not here, sorry, no,
230
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:12.919
And so yeah, that respect, you got to start that
231
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.000
and and show them that you can be respectful. You
232
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.399
can respect them, you can respect the property, you can
233
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.200
respect the law. I mean, you're not going to be
234
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:29.840
sneaking in there without permission. And if there's activity going on,
235
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.320
they're respectful of the activity there. Again, like you said,
236
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.879
poking the bear, and some people they think, oh, we're
237
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.159
going to go in there, and we're going to we
238
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.039
really want to wild things up, and it's like.
239
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.960
The stupid Finding the right group. I know you've said
240
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.360
this before is the biggest for in my opinion, the
241
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:58.200
biggest key factor when you're starting out. When you're starting out, yes,
242
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.600
you're kind of doing things when you're and then one
243
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:04.359
there will be a time when you quote unquote join
244
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.440
a team. Yes, it happens to all of us. And
245
00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:16.319
I'm not gonna lie. I got lucky by finding a team.
246
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.519
Like you say, we're not a team. We always refer
247
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:19.400
to it as a team.
248
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.319
Wait, we are a loosely affiliated team.
249
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:28.720
It's like I got lucky finding a team that's more
250
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:34.079
than just that. We genuinely are all friends. I can't
251
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.640
tell you how many times we met up to grab coffee,
252
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.319
to grab lunch, just to hang out. Have nothing to
253
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:46.680
do with ghosts, and it's like, how many quote unquote
254
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:50.039
teams do you have that where you care just oh,
255
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.920
let's just go grab lunch really fast, or let's just
256
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.480
go grab a cup of coffee because we have nothing
257
00:17:55.519 --> 00:18:00.279
better to do right now, and it's just a us
258
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.960
for us to go out. And that's why I say
259
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:05.400
I'm lucky by finding this team, and.
260
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:06.720
I think.
261
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:13.880
That's something you should be looking for. And I go
262
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:16.759
on this whole tangent about it, because this whole what
263
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:23.680
not to do is don't just join any team, yesso
264
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:29.160
any not every team is for you. Yes you are
265
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.599
not for every team, and every team's not for you.
266
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.160
Yes they are.
267
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:38.240
Gonna be teams that someone always puts themselves on a
268
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:43.920
pedestal and says I'm the team leader. And it's every
269
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:48.279
person's bringing their own set of talent, their own set
270
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.359
of skills with their best at like we have Jeanette,
271
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:58.240
that's amazing at EVPs, we have Georgina that's amazing at History.
272
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:03.240
It's like, yeah, you got to find none of us
273
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.799
could really put ourselves on a pedestal to say, oh,
274
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.599
I'm the team leader. Well you kind of have to
275
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.759
know how to do all of it and be amazing
276
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.000
at all of it. When you know you're not amazing
277
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:15.920
at everything.
278
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.400
At least you should know. Yeah, and you're right. I mean, gosh,
279
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.240
there are teams that I've seen where egos play a
280
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.240
big role, and I
think that those are the teams
281
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:28.240
that are not in it for the right reasons. They're
282
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.519
in it for I want to get famous, I want
283
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.799
my own YouTube show or my own TV show or
284
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.480
whatever it is. And I think, and that's why I say,
285
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.160
our team is, you know, team with air quotes between
286
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:46.079
air quotes. It's because we don't have some kind of
287
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.759
authority structure and that's it. We do not have a
288
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:54.839
team leader. We do not have you know, investigators in training,
289
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.880
we do not have an assistant leader. We don't have
290
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:03.720
any of that crap. We don't manage one another. And
291
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:09.519
for us, that works really well. And I don't know,
292
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.160
it's just, yeah, everybody brings something different to the table.
293
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.839
We all really work together well. And that is I
294
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:16.599
think that is so key. If you're going to be
295
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:20.119
joining a team, vet the team, make sure you're a
296
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:24.480
good fit, and make sure that they're a legitimate team.
297
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:27.319
I mean, there's a lot of really good teams out there,
298
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.519
and I've met investigators from other teams that are great,
299
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:34.160
but there are some teams out there. I've heard stories
300
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.359
where there were complaints about one team because all they
301
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:40.359
did was go in the cemetery after dark and smoke
302
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:44.000
weed and it's kind of you know, and then they
303
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.759
just kind of party and drink and it's kind of like, yeah,
304
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.599
you don't want to be a part of that. Yes,
305
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.440
And as for you know, kind of along the same lines,
306
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:58.400
you know, being safe and making good decisions on where
307
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.960
you're going to investigate. I heard a story where there
308
00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.319
was this this person that was new to the field
309
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:07.839
and there again because I made me think of this
310
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.200
because you're like, you know, they're excited and they oh,
311
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:13.920
you know, oh my goodness, this place is haunted. I
312
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.960
got to get in there. Well, they had a situation
313
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.680
like that presented to them. It was a meth lab.
314
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.920
And it's kind of like thankfully they had people that
315
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.359
counseled them not
to go in there. It's like, yeah,
316
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:31.559
but there could be all kinds of activity in there,
317
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.720
and it's like it's a meth lab.
318
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:35.559
You know.
319
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:42.000
It's like you can't pick a more dangerous spot to
320
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.200
go investigate, you know, it's like what the building could
321
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.480
blow up and make you a ghost, or you could
322
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.480
have the cops come raid and you get arrested, or
323
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.839
you know people high on methew. Yeah, and don't be stupid.
324
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.680
I will say, you know is because you brought up
325
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:06.400
the whole you do and we all, ever so slightly wish.
326
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.039
We could do ghost hunting full time.
327
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:14.599
Every single investigator wishes, Yeah, if that's your sole purpose
328
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:19.319
for ghost hunting, you probably shouldn't be doing it because
329
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:24.960
there is so much more two ghost hunting than just oh,
330
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.880
this is an easy quick way for me to get famous,
331
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:30.599
this and that, and I see a lot of it
332
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:36.039
on TikTok and it's like, yeah, they have millions of
333
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:39.839
followers and this and that, and then I see TikTokers
334
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:45.240
using like a necrothonic and this and that, but they're
335
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:51.079
never actually like searching for intelligent spirits. The spirit could
336
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.440
say oh, I'm twenty, and then they say, oh, hey, spirit,
337
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:58.839
you're twenty, and it's like what's your name? And then
338
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:03.680
it's just like something crazy off the wall. It's like
339
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.519
I'm here over there.
340
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.400
It's what.
341
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:12.680
None of this is making sense, Like you're not getting
342
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:18.240
intelligence spirit, Like if that's your sole purpose. Have fun
343
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.480
with the gimmicks and have fun with the I'm gonna
344
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:25.000
pretend to pope the bear, and then pay the consequences later.
345
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:28.359
Yes, they pay the consequence. You may pay some real consequences.
346
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:30.960
But yeah, yeah, it's it's kind of like if that's
347
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.119
what you're only wanting to do, is just get scared
348
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.920
or scare other people or yeah, I mean it's it's
349
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:40.720
not the right motivation. I mean, if you really want
350
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:45.400
to be a serious investigator, I I you're bringing up
351
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.599
the necrophonic brings me to another don't do The necrophonic
352
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.400
For those of you who don't know, is a spirit
353
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.599
It's a type of spirit box app that spits out
354
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:01.160
these what are called phoneans or parts of words, and
355
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.799
the theory goes that you can turn on the necrophonic
356
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:11.160
and you can get spirit communication because the spirits can
357
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:16.079
supposedly manipulate the sounds in the necrophonic. It's very creepy
358
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:19.720
sounding app, but I like it. It's a fun app to.
359
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.839
Use, fantastic, especially if you don't have access to a
360
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:23.599
spirit box.
361
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:28.680
Yeah. Yeah, it's like it's on your phone. But the
362
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.680
thing is, when you're using those types of apps like
363
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.680
the necrophonic or a legit spirit box, which is a
364
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:37.839
little box. I think we've mentioned these two where it
365
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.559
cycles through radio stations really quickly and creates white noise
366
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.480
and supposedly you could get communication through that, and I've
367
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.960
gotten some communication through that as well. They do work.
368
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.039
They're kind of cool when you know you're getting some
369
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:59.200
interesting communication that's making sense. But it's and this is
370
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:03.279
where I see what not to do. Is there's something
371
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:08.720
called paradilia and we've nicknamed it Prairie dog dandelion, which
372
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:16.519
is our brains are wired up to make sense of nonsense.
373
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:21.079
I mean, there were patterns seeking and so you know,
374
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:22.839
you're looking at the clouds as a kid and you
375
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.160
see a bunny or a puppy or whatever. And so
376
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:32.240
it's really easy with these spirit boxeror necrophonic apps to
377
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:37.720
start creating a narrative vin made from just random words
378
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:43.000
or random noises. And you have to be careful of that.
379
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.880
You know. It's like you turn on your necrophonic and
380
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:49.680
you know, oh, what is your name? Oh it's Mary,
381
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.160
Oh okay, Mary, and then you hear the word lamb,
382
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.799
you know, and then everybody, oh my gosh, Mary had
383
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.599
little lambs, you know, fleeces, white snow, you know whatever.
384
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:04.079
Our brains are just that quick to start making up stories.
385
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:12.240
And what to do in that situation is triangulate. Is
386
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.799
everybody hearing the same thing? You know I heard? And
387
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.000
we do this just kind of instinctively. It's like, okay,
388
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.920
what did it say? Well, I thought I heard this. Okay, well,
389
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.200
if I heard that, I thought I heard Steve. Well,
390
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:27.960
I thought I heard Bob, you know, or you know,
391
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.920
kind of corroborating what everybody hears. And I mean, yes,
392
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.200
that's open to suggestibility. You know, if one person hears Bob,
393
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.039
other people might hear Bob too, and you just have
394
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:43.480
to work with your team on that. But also to
395
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:47.799
try and dealing with that our equipment, and you know,
396
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.960
it's kind of like, okay, we're hearing, we're hearing communication
397
00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.480
through the spirit box and oh my gosh, look Alison's
398
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.000
SLS camera is picking up figures and oh my gosh,
399
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.480
Cindy's Trifield meds are going off the charts. And then
400
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.920
you add another layer with the psychics and the sensitives
401
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.000
and they're like, oh my gosh, I'm really picking up
402
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.160
this that or the next thing or this that or
403
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.400
the next person. And so the more sources you can
404
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:25.599
get to kind of to triangulate with your spirit box sessions,
405
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.559
the better, because I see lots of people get really
406
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:31.200
excited about the spirit boxes. They're kind of cool and
407
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:36.160
spooky and they run with it, and it's kind of like, no,
408
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:42.079
like you just said, you're just stringing together random words.
409
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:43.880
There's nothing here.
410
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:48.119
Also, knowing the history of the location.
411
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.920
Helps a lot.
412
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:55.599
Oh, yes, because I mean you get something out of
413
00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:02.839
the crazy, like like the Doctor prep Museum with their ghost,
414
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.519
you get their name. If you don't know their name,
415
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:09.279
and it's like, why is this coming up?
416
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:10.720
Why is this person's name is?
417
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.640
What is it? And then you do your research and
418
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:17.640
you're like, oh, that's why this person's name is coming
419
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.119
up because they worked here and this and that, and
420
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.039
it's like now it's
making sense. Now you're piecing things together.
421
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.160
What you're saying, you're connecting it all to make sense
422
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.799
of the story. But if you don't know the history,
423
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.400
you're not You're just like, oh, it's just a random name.
424
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:37.640
Mm hmmm.
425
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.160
That is so true. And I love the example of
426
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.720
the Doctor Pepper Museum because when we did an investigation
427
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.519
before they started doing their tours. Georgina did a dowsing
428
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:53.079
rod session and was asking the first letter of the
429
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.599
name of the person she was talking to, and it
430
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:01.559
was S. And she was she's such a great dowsing
431
00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:04.640
rod person. She was savvy enough, and it's like, does
432
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.839
your name begin with an S? And the answer was no.
433
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:12.880
And she goes, do you have a nickname that begins
434
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:17.480
with the letter S? And the answer was yes. Knowing
435
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:20.960
the history of the Doctor Pepper Museum and doing a
436
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:24.640
little research, we found out that there was one death
437
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.039
on the premises during the tornado and it was a worker.
438
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:34.799
His name was Vernon, his nickname Shorty, And so now
439
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.240
there's all kinds of communication with Shorty, who is a
440
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:44.920
very I don't know, he's a very playful spirit. But yeah,
441
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.640
we would not have known that had we not known
442
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:54.799
the history of the museum. So yeah, super important.
443
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:02.359
It's just knowing stuff like that and also going to
444
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:11.079
a location having an unrealistic expectation of getting hits every
445
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:17.160
single time is you're just not gonna get something every time.
446
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:20.640
You can spend what really.
447
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.680
And I think what not to do is go in
448
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:32.599
having that unrealistic expectation go it's hope for the best,
449
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:38.359
expect the worst. You go in expecting that you're gonna
450
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:44.559
get nothing, but you're hoping you're gonna get something because
451
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.039
it's we said it. I don't even know how many times,
452
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.279
hundreds of times people place time. Yes, you might be
453
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:55.400
the right person at the right place, but the wrong time.
454
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:58.680
It could be the right time, right place, wrong person.
455
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:04.279
There's so many scenarios, and it's you can't predict that.
456
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.880
You can't be like, oh this, you might be getting
457
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:12.599
hits on the cat balls, but then you get nothing else.
458
00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:16.519
It's like, okay, cool, this is the room that they
459
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:19.680
like to go to. Maybe the next time you go
460
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:22.599
to that location, you stirt off in that room, you start,
461
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:24.640
you know, or you spend most of your time in
462
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:28.400
that room, because that's where you're getting that's where you're
463
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.119
getting the hits the most.
464
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:31.440
Yeah, but it's no.
465
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:33.480
Guarantee that you're gonna get it.
466
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.759
YEP. I say that ghost hunting's like fishing. If you
467
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:41.160
like to fish, you'll probably like ghost hunting because you know,
468
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:43.160
if you're in and I've talked to somebody fishermen and
469
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:45.319
they're like, oh, Okay. Yeah, it's like, yeah, you go
470
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:47.799
out of the lake. It's a beautiful day. You know,
471
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.319
the weather's perfect, the fish seem to be you know,
472
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:54.920
you've heard they were biting, and you get nothing all
473
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:59.440
day long. But you get to sit there and enjoy
474
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:02.160
the weather and enjoy the company. And that's how it
475
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:04.839
is with ghost hunting. I mean, yeah, we like sitting
476
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.960
around in dusty, old spooky buildings and hang out with
477
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.559
each other. And that goes back to the ole team thing.
478
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.599
Oh my gosh, I just noticed that my EMF meter
479
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:21.960
is going crazy, just that one. Oh that one just
480
00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.160
went off. Now, yeah, it's going nuts here, hold on
481
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:32.720
taking a break. Care it's crazy. Okay, we've got some
482
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:35.559
crazy I'm just doing all recording here. We've got some
483
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:42.839
crazy EMF readings here going on in the library. This
484
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.720
one over here in my left it's going off too.
485
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:48.839
We're gonna do just a little quick impromptu here. Is
486
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:54.079
anybody here that would like to speak to us? Do
487
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.440
you have anything you would like to add to our conversation?
488
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.880
What would you like to add to our conversation. We're
489
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:05.920
thinking that somebody is here and would really like to
490
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.480
chime in. What have
you got for us.
491
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:14.319
If you speak close to the screenlight on this microphone,
492
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:17.599
it'll pick it up, I promise, I hope.
493
00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:24.240
Yeah, fingers, yes, please please don't ms with our electronics.
494
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:27.240
As we were talking about, we are not going to
495
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.519
get hits every single time.
496
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:33.480
That is very interesting. Yes, yes, we're going off on
497
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:39.279
this big beloviating pontification and okay, now we're seeing that.
498
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:44.119
Now we're quiet. Now we're quiet. Okay, but if there's
499
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:47.400
anything you'd like to add, please please step up to
500
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.640
the microphone there and join our conversation. I'm going to
501
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.000
stop recording now and we'll be playing this back later.
502
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:05.839
Thank you for joining us. Anybody's here that's freaking crazy
503
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:12.559
for them to go back to nothing? Yeah, yeah, we've got.
504
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:16.679
I guess we hit the nail on the head that.
505
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:23.920
Let me tell you a singer too, Yes, yes, but
506
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:29.039
when you do get something, it's awesome. So I am.
507
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.360
I'm I'm going to keep bringing my MF meters. Yes,
508
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:34.679
that's crazy.
509
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.480
I will say though. It's just that's what makes you
510
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:42.519
know the right team so special is when Yeah, I
511
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.039
mean you just like what happened. We're just talking and
512
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.599
you know the energy that you're creating could be just
513
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.480
right for something to happen m hm, and you never
514
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:59.960
know when and it just magically start.
515
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.320
What is happening happening absolutely, and.
516
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:08.920
You know it's That's the awesome thing about having a
517
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:13.360
or being a part of a good team is being
518
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.559
able to sit there, being able to just even if
519
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:24.079
it's un like, if it's not ghost related, yeah I'm ghostly, ghostly, ghostly,
520
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:26.360
just to be able to talk and hang out and
521
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:32.480
then yeah, when somebody realizes something's going on, it's like, oh,
522
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:34.679
oh yeah, that's what we were doing and it's like,
523
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.440
oh yeah, yeah, well that's fun.
524
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:40.360
I mean, yeah it is. I will say, yes, it's
525
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.800
worth the weight. And it does help that if you're
526
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:49.320
a very patient person and you enjoy history and historical
527
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:53.039
buildings and hanging out in spooky places, that all helps
528
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:56.679
because even if you don't get anything, hey we we
529
00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:59.199
got to hang out, we got to test out some
530
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.599
of our it's never a loss. We got to test
531
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:04.519
some of our equipment, we got to test some new techniques,
532
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:07.360
we got to learn about this really cool building that
533
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.599
we're in. So it's never a loss. And I think
534
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.320
the people and I find it's usually very new people,
535
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.480
very new people to the field, and what gets them
536
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:21.400
interested are the shows. And you've got to keep in mind,
537
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:24.559
and I know that most of the listeners already know this.
538
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:28.159
You got to keep in mind that those shows they've
539
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:33.880
edited down hours and hours days sometimes of footage and
540
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:40.760
they've condensed it into an hour and that's and so yes,
541
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:43.559
of course it's going to look like just NonStop action,
542
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:50.719
and it's like no, no, these things happened over the
543
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:56.760
course of several hours or days sometimes, so a lot
544
00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:03.800
of it is going to be just waiting, watching being ready.
545
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.880
I don't like, we're like, really, we're giving an eye
546
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:12.159
on the meters being ready. And that goes to something
547
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:18.079
else that I want to to say, kind of relatedly,
548
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:21.480
is yes, number one, don't believe everything that you see
549
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:24.599
on the shows. There's a lot of editing that goes
550
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:28.960
into it, a lot of takes and retakes. It's like, oh, hey,
551
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.360
you were in the shadows, can you please step over
552
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.519
to the left, we need to redo that scene. There's
553
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:39.239
stuff like that. It's not spontaneous, but being ready in
554
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:42.320
a real situation. And this is kind of a a
555
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:46.360
but make sure that all of your electronics are fully charged,
556
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:52.800
bring charging banks or blocks if you can, and make
557
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.000
sure you have extra batteries and those batteries that are
558
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:02.639
in your equipment are fresh, because there have been many
559
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:09.920
times where batteries and electronic power has drained. It's it's
560
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:14.920
pretty common in paranormal
investigations where you know what, okay,
561
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:18.360
oh my, you know, I put new batteries in my
562
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:21.159
meter and it just drained. Okay, I guess I'm gonna
563
00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:22.960
have to replace the batteries. And you want to make
564
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:27.760
sure that because of your equipment's being drained of energy, Yeah,
565
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.760
something's going on, and you want to make sure that
566
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:32.360
you're able to keep going.
567
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:38.280
Yes, And my my biggest recommendation is to have that
568
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:43.159
because if your equipment is getting trained, you know there's
569
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:46.000
going to be something popping off sometime soon.
570
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.079
Yes, So you don't want to be as you don't
571
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:53.440
want to be stuck as a sitting dug no and
572
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:56.719
be like, oh, well, batteries dead and then all this
573
00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:59.039
you know, activities happen and you're.
574
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:02.719
Like, yeah, all of a sudden, the stave puff marshmallow
575
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:06.840
man walks. Yeah. Yeah, And that's the thing. And I mean,
576
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.920
you want to beta be ready, you know, and so.
577
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:15.000
And part of that is with the electronics and making
578
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:18.960
sure that they are all working properly, you know, test
579
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:23.679
them beforehand, because that's another thing that happens. Malfunctions are
580
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:30.599
really common. I've had game cams which are super reliable
581
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:35.760
and super durable, but do wonky things like Okay, all
582
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:39.079
the batteries are charged and it works fine in room A,
583
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:43.000
but I take it to room B and the batteries
584
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:47.440
drained or it's not turning on or you know. And
585
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:53.239
so having backups of equipment is also really helpful. And
586
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:55.679
when you're going with more than just a few people,
587
00:39:56.199 --> 00:40:01.599
most everybody has electronics and and so that's helpful. You know,
588
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:04.000
we can all kind of kind of back each other up.
589
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.039
So yeah, that's important. And another kind of common sense
590
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:15.960
investigation thing is a couple of things, just common sense
591
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:24.559
investigation things I'm thinking of is one, don't wear strong cologne, perfume, deodorant,
592
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:31.519
anything like that, because phantom smells are really common and
593
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:36.760
they're usually kind of perfume me or cigars. I don't
594
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:38.760
know why. I guess a lot of dudes smoke to
595
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:42.599
cigars back in the day, I don't know. And you
596
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:48.400
don't want a false reading. Yes, because somebody's wearing too
597
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:52.519
much Chanel number five, perhaps body spray or some crazy things.
598
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:59.840
I think the biggest example is when we're in Clayborn Is.
599
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:03.519
I mean, in what was it the fourth floor room,
600
00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:07.239
we were getting crazy hits with the cat bulls, and
601
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:10.239
that's when we were all just like, oh, we're gonna
602
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:12.320
run up to our room go get this, you know,
603
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:16.719
swat batteries. And for whatever reason it was two or
604
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:20.480
three of us has stayed and we were getting hits
605
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:24.320
off the cat bulls, and then all of a sudden,
606
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:28.519
we were all there and it was like radio silent.
607
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:34.400
And then that's when I made the connection because Georgina
608
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.239
had told us the history and I was like, sorry
609
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:42.519
KKK people, but don't don't come after me. But I
610
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.639
had mentioned I was like, how much you want to
611
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:49.239
bet it's because of the KKK and I'm the only minority,
612
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:56.119
Yeah that's sitting here. Yeah, And we get a response
613
00:41:56.239 --> 00:42:03.480
immediately saying yeah remember that said yeah. And it was
614
00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:08.400
just like, I don't know why it clicked in my head.
615
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.280
Why it all we were getting this activity and it's
616
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:16.039
because you all were in and out of the room,
617
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:18.159
and I think it was me and Georgina are the
618
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:21.400
only people that stayed, but everyone else was like, you know,
619
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:25.719
in and out, and we were getting activity and then
620
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:27.440
all of a sudden, when we finally just.
621
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:28.239
Settle, it's like.
622
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.800
It starts to click and stuff like that, it starts
623
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.239
to happen. It's very important to know that kind of stuff.
624
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:43.679
And it is the triangulation. The cat bull is the
625
00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:47.440
whatever else equipment we're using at the time. Yeah.
626
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:51.760
Well, and that's important too, because if you weren't there,
627
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:54.119
none of the rest of us would have picked up
628
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:57.519
on that, and we would not have gotten those same
629
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:07.280
readings that we've got, these racist, bigoted goats,
ghosts and goats. Yeah,
630
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.800
and there again, it's like people, it's just another example
631
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:17.199
of people bringing different perspectives and different things to the
632
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:24.519
table and how that could influence the activity. And that's
633
00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:28.360
the Yeah, that's such a great example. And I remember that, Yeah,
634
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.679
we had, Yeah, there was like k KK people that
635
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:34.000
stayed at that hotel and they might not have been
636
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:39.639
too friendly towards towards minority people and so yeah, and
637
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:41.519
that's what we were kind of starting to pick up on.
638
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:47.800
And it's I mean, but again, it's hitting on everything
639
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.119
that we had talked about being respectful place in time,
640
00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.239
the right people. I mean, it's not like we were
641
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.599
being disrespectful. It's just the fact that it's like I
642
00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:03.000
had to pick up on it and then set it
643
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:06.000
out loud and we got a response from them. Yeah,
644
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:08.719
It's like I wasn't over there like poking the bear.
645
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:12.320
I wasn't being disrespectful. We had the equipment, We had
646
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:17.960
equipment going off and right place, right time, with the
647
00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:21.920
right people, and there we go. Yeah, and it's like
648
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.960
obviously they I mean, they were being bigoted, but they
649
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:28.360
weren't being overly disrespectful, like.
650
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.280
They were just like whatever, we're just not going to
651
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:33.760
talk to this person. We're refusing to talk to this person.
652
00:44:33.920 --> 00:44:38.079
So it's like when I finally said it, it's like, okay, yeah,
653
00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:41.400
that deserves a response. You picked up on why we're
654
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:42.000
ignoring you.
655
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:44.719
Yeah, and it makes it makes so much sense. And
656
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:52.480
there again, Yeah, it's like just this this other invaluable perspective. Definitely.
657
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:58.039
Yeah. And it's a hotel again. Literally everything we talked
658
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:00.119
about with a hotel we paid to be a it.
659
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.320
Yeah, and everything happened to go in the place. Yeah,
660
00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:09.639
it was great. I mean the liberty is great. Yeah,
661
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:12.719
I know it's still that was a really good investigation.
662
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.920
But the cat balls, I get those cat balls out
663
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:20.119
of my closet. They're dying to get out there in
664
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.800
the field. But on another commons, I'm thinking of more
665
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:29.840
common sense things on actual investigations. Please, for the love
666
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:40.239
of God, do not whisper. Allison's just like, yeah, and
667
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:42.440
here again, this is this is more advice for the
668
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:47.960
newbies because a lot of that, I know, it's it
669
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:51.719
comes from a good place. It's like, oh, I don't
670
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:57.000
want to disturb whatever's going on here, but I have
671
00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:01.360
to say something to my friend, No, please don't do that,
672
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:04.960
say it out loud, because it is going to give
673
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:09.400
false EVP readings. A lot of I just sorted like
674
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:16.320
a pig. Don't do that either. But because a lot
675
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:22.159
of EVPs are quiet, they're they're subtle, they're there, I mean,
676
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:26.119
they're they're obviously there. When you know, you know, when
677
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:28.480
you know, when you know when you've got an EVP,
678
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:32.679
especially a nice clear one, and there are a lot
679
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:35.400
of times very quiet. Well, if you've got people that
680
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:43.440
are constantly or even intermittently whispering, it's really difficult to
681
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:47.519
listen to those playbacks, those audio playbacks and go, oh,
682
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:50.239
my gosh, is that somebody whispering or is that an
683
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:54.360
actual EVP? And that it just makes it really really
684
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:58.159
hard another thing to do. And I am guilty of
685
00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:02.119
this one. I get excited and I forget to what
686
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:06.360
I call tag. And so if you know that somebody
687
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.599
is doing an EVP session with their phone or recorder
688
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:13.920
or whatever, if you're there, you're moving around, let people know, Oh,
689
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.960
I just got up from my chair, or I just
690
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:20.840
that was me walking across the room, or I just
691
00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:24.800
set my phone down on the table. Those little things
692
00:47:24.920 --> 00:47:30.400
are so helpful when you're playing back audio because it's
693
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:32.719
kind of like, oh okay, because you know, yeah, you
694
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:39.519
can get phantom footsteps or phantom noises or and if
695
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:43.880
you've got people moving around and whispering, and it makes
696
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:47.880
it really really hard. Sometimes it makes it impossible, which
697
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:50.800
is a real bummer because gosh, you know, we got
698
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:54.880
all this audio footage and it's not really usable because
699
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:58.519
we can't tell the difference between an EVP and these
700
00:47:58.519 --> 00:47:59.840
two people whispering.
701
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:05.280
Yes, And I mean, I think EVPs are some of
702
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:06.559
the most helpful things.
703
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:08.639
They are and.
704
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:13.159
I mean I learned from experience when we first started
705
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:16.559
doing this, and I did go to Emily Morgan, but
706
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:21.800
for whatever reason, my recorder was citing to be difficult,
707
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:27.159
and it's like, I it took forever for me to
708
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.800
figure out what certain things were. Like. At some point
709
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:34.360
I was hearing gunshots and it was wow. I mean
710
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:37.719
downtown San Antonio, and it's like, you know, if you're
711
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:42.760
hearing gunshots, it's like you're gonna hear sirens. Yeah, check
712
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:44.480
the recorder, no sirens.
713
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:44.599
No nothing.
714
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:47.599
But y'all couldn't hear any of that because of the
715
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:53.800
recording the recorder itself. But me being there for hours
716
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:57.639
just listening to it, I knew what it was. So
717
00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:00.880
little stuff like that makes all the difference.
718
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:05.559
It does all the difference it does. And I mean especially, Gosh,
719
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.679
you're just coming up with like super duper examples. I mean, yeah,
720
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:11.679
it's like you think about that at the Emily Morgan. Okay,
721
00:49:11.719 --> 00:49:14.639
for those listeners who have not been to San Antonio.
722
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.800
Down in the heart of San Antonio, it's like the
723
00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:22.079
touristy area where the Alamo is. We've got these historic
724
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:27.559
hotels that are basically built on the battle ground where
725
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:30.480
the Battle of the Alamo took place, and the Emily
726
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.199
Morgan is one of these, and they've got it's very haunted.
727
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:38.000
We've got the Manger, it's very haunted, and the Davy Crocket,
728
00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:42.360
the Crockett Hotel very very haunted as well. So when
729
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.960
Allison is sitting here saying and she's from San Antonio
730
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:51.360
and has been downtown several several times and to the
731
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:55.960
Emily Morgan several several times, it's it's kind of like, Okay,
732
00:49:56.039 --> 00:49:58.280
I know the lay of the land here, which is
733
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:01.000
another good tip. You know, kind of familiar with
where
734
00:50:01.039 --> 00:50:07.800
you're going. And I also know the history. So if
735
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:11.079
I'm not hearing gunshots and sirens with my ears here
736
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:14.840
at the Emily Morgan Hotel, but I'm hearing gunshots phantom
737
00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:20.840
gunshots plausibly, that could be residual activity from the Battle
738
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:26.880
of the Alamo, which would be a super cool find. Yes,
739
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:28.320
I want.
740
00:50:28.159 --> 00:50:30.119
To go back and try to see if I can
741
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:35.400
get it again. But I mentioned earlier the unrealistic expectations
742
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:39.719
go into like Emily Morgan and stuff. I always have
743
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:43.440
an unrealistic expectation. I'm not gonna lie to you, so
744
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.840
I always anytime I'm at the Emily Morgan, I try
745
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:50.559
to book Alamo side so I can see the Almo.
746
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:54.559
And this is gonna be where I do that, because
747
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:58.119
it's like, I want to see the seventy blows outside
748
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:02.119
the window. It's like, what is a likelihood of me seeing.
749
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:05.119
That looking out the window?
750
00:51:06.559 --> 00:51:10.679
Oh my god, it's so bad, but it's I know,
751
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:15.239
it's such a big unrealistic expectation, like you never know.
752
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:19.760
But then it works out in my favorite because then
753
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.440
I have a tendency of ignoring some of the other stuff,
754
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:26.960
Like I'll have a recorder going and I'll forget that
755
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:27.960
it's going.
756
00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:30.559
Because I'm too busy.
757
00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:35.119
Looking on and I'm like and I forget, which is
758
00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:38.719
good because like the e VPS, you're talking your normal voice.
759
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:43.320
So I'm over there talking to my normal poice, yourself.
760
00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:44.559
I'm waiting for you.
761
00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:45.719
I want you to come.
762
00:51:46.360 --> 00:51:48.280
It's like I'm a text and you are a text
763
00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:49.800
and show you to show yourself.
764
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:53.119
I'm all excited.
765
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:57.239
But stuff like that, it's like when you distract yourself
766
00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:00.519
with something like that because you know the history. Yeah,
767
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:03.119
and then you get an EPPS.
768
00:52:03.559 --> 00:52:05.519
That's the you know that You're.
769
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:08.559
Like, oh, I was too busy talking.
770
00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:08.559
To the.
771
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:14.679
Who is that? And they were like, oh, okay, she's distracted,
772
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:18.480
can't mess with her.
Yeah. Yeah, And stuff like that
773
00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:21.079
happens too, and that's why it's so important to have
774
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:24.719
like equipment and going. You know, there's some people that
775
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:27.400
are like real tech heavy and there are some. That's
776
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:29.679
another reason why our group works together so well, because
777
00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:31.519
we have some that are tech heavy and some that
778
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:33.480
are you know, I'm just going to bring my phone
779
00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:35.960
and my dowsing rods, you know, I like to travel light,
780
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:41.800
and it all balances out. And so for the folks
781
00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:45.599
that are not real tech heavy, but they're very I
782
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:49.000
want to just rely on my intuition. We have everybody
783
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:51.599
else that has the tech that can back it up,
784
00:52:52.159 --> 00:52:57.239
and so yeah, it it creates a nice, nice balance,
785
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:03.800
it does. For it's like, oh my gosh, I'm looking
786
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:07.000
at I'm re looking at my notes here. Yeah, I'm
787
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:11.519
a couple of more things here. Don't go alone. Don't
788
00:53:11.719 --> 00:53:20.719
don't be stupid. Oops what okay? Okay, I suggest you
789
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:25.400
don't go alone. But if you if you do go alone,
790
00:53:25.880 --> 00:53:29.880
which I don't suggest, make sure somebody knows where you're going.
791
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:37.239
Said another Oops. Another oops face Allison for shame.
792
00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:41.079
See and this is the line, this is What Not
793
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:46.199
to Do episode where did you go by yourself? I
794
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:50.519
always go to place asn't by myself. It's like because
795
00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:53.119
it's like my husband doesn't want anything to do with it.
796
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:58.000
My dad's just an old man. So it's like, well,
797
00:53:58.519 --> 00:53:59.679
just be very careful.
798
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:02.440
And I'm I guess I should have a coveyat with that.
799
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:08.400
You you can go. We all go places by ourselves,
800
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:12.280
you know, but just make sure that there are places
801
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:14.320
that are safe public.
802
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:16.880
I'm just trying to make some friends.
803
00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:22.880
Oh my goodness, let us know where you're going. Some
804
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.679
people prefer to go to bars. I prefer to go goot,
805
00:54:27.199 --> 00:54:31.280
what's the difference. But it's actually probably safer the growing
806
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:34.079
to a bar exactly. We do both. You can go
807
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:38.639
to haunted bar, but yeah, I don't. I don't suggest.
808
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:44.840
I don't suggest going alone, especially especially if it's like
809
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:47.760
an old building where if you could fall or get
810
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:51.719
hurt and nobody's there to like see the ghost with you.
811
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:57.039
I mean, yeah, I've only been doing this year.
812
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:02.360
Girls, it now long. Yeah, I think it's been longer
813
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:02.760
than that.
814
00:55:03.159 --> 00:55:05.880
It's probably been closer than five. I'm not gonna lie.
815
00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:07.559
I was going to say, you know, it's like you're
816
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:11.719
not the newbie anymore. Now, you're like a seasoned veteran. Now,
817
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:16.599
oh oh yeah, yeah. Please don't, please don't go alone.
818
00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:22.039
Please don't. It's not recommended, just for safety reasons.
819
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:22.320
You know.
820
00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:25.639
Just be smart, maybe that's a better way to put it.
821
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:30.599
Just just be smart. Yeah, let people know where you're going,
822
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:37.559
especially if it's remote or secluded or yeah. Yeah, okay,
823
00:55:37.760 --> 00:55:45.159
moving along. You're looking very guilty, as she should. And
824
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:47.639
I think I think we've hit all of mine, with
825
00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:54.400
the exception of there's a couple, well actually a couple
826
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:57.440
of them. But I think I'm gonna I think I'm
827
00:55:57.440 --> 00:55:59.079
going to just leave on this one because I think
828
00:55:59.079 --> 00:56:02.400
we're getting closed to be done here. Yeah, you don't
829
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:05.480
have to do this. You don't have to investigate at
830
00:56:05.519 --> 00:56:08.039
three am, in the middle of the night and when
831
00:56:08.079 --> 00:56:15.280
it's dark. We've been in many different places and investigated
832
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:18.840
many different times, different times at the day. We have
833
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:21.719
investigated in the wee hours of the night. We have
834
00:56:21.880 --> 00:56:26.320
investigated when it's dark, but we've investigated during the day,
835
00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:28.599
in the middle of the day, in the evenings, in
836
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:33.199
the mornings. And it's it's interesting because you think about it.
837
00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:39.239
When people report seeing paranormal activity, it's during their waking hours.
838
00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:42.199
I mean, yes, there are sometimes people that it's like, hey,
839
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:43.400
I woke up in the middle of the night to
840
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:46.679
get a drink of water, and you know, there was
841
00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:49.199
Beelzebub standing there at the foot of my bed. You
842
00:56:49.239 --> 00:56:53.239
know that those stories happened. But most of the time,
843
00:56:54.920 --> 00:57:01.559
especially with businesses, because businesses are they're closed overnight, they're like,
844
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:04.199
oh gosh. You know, there was this one local business
845
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:07.159
here in Waco that I prefers not to be named,
846
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:12.239
but they were having poltergeist activity during the workday, you know,
847
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:15.840
and it's it was an office setting, and yeah, it's like, okay,
848
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:18.320
the door to the break room keeps opening and shutting
849
00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:21.119
on its own, and we're seeing shadow people walking between
850
00:57:21.159 --> 00:57:24.760
the rooms, and there's something wonky going on with the
851
00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:28.480
coffee maker, and you know, middle of the day, middle
852
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:33.840
of the day. So don't come under the Oh my gosh,
853
00:57:33.920 --> 00:57:37.599
my leaders. Yeah, do you agree with me? Yeah, I
854
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:43.599
guess they agree that's so crazy because we too, well,
855
00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:47.079
this one's kind see and I would say if it
856
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:49.800
was my phone or something it would be this one.
857
00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:52.039
I mean I was gonna say that one to your
858
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:54.920
left would make sense because that's for the computer and.
859
00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:58.559
Everythinguter and the phone. This one's to my right. It
860
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:02.519
makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Okay, are we done now?
861
00:58:03.199 --> 00:58:06.280
Anything else you'd like to add. It is the middle
862
00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:11.639
of the day, we are at the library, very benign place,
863
00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:15.400
and we are we're getting some really kind of weird anomalous.
864
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:18.159
And I mean last time you brought them, we got nothing.
865
00:58:18.519 --> 00:58:21.360
Yeah, yeah, last time, and we had the same exact
866
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:26.440
setup and not a and even with the SLS camera
867
00:58:26.599 --> 00:58:31.119
which was even more electronics. Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm going
868
00:58:31.159 --> 00:58:34.079
to be keep bringing my my meters. I love my meters.
869
00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:37.480
But yeah, you don't have to. And like I said,
870
00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:39.920
this is more for newbies than anything. You know, they
871
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:44.880
watched the shows and all lights out, lights out, you know,
872
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:47.360
we don't want any electronic interference. And it's like, you
873
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:50.960
know what near your activity, what you do is you
874
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:54.800
just sweeps, you just do I'll do an EMF sweep
875
00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:57.239
before we get started. So it's like, Okay, I know
876
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:02.000
we're the electronic the natural electron of hotspots are you know,
877
00:59:02.039 --> 00:59:04.239
we can rule those out pretty quickly and easily.
878
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:09.039
Getting a baseline of how your equipment operates where you
879
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:14.239
are is important. If you're just turning it on and
880
00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:17.360
you're like, oh, let's just go, well, then like what
881
00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:23.400
your trifield meters are doing. If they're constantly doing that, yeah, okay,
882
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:26.360
so those are probably not as reliable. But then if
883
00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:30.920
they all of a sudden stop, yeah, that's outside of
884
00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:34.599
the normal baseline because they should be going crazy.
885
00:59:34.920 --> 00:59:36.480
Yeah, baseline readings.
886
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:39.000
So it's like you definitely have to pay attention to
887
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:39.760
that kind of stuff.
888
00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:47.039
Definitely. The lights just flickered a little bit. Holy crab,
889
00:59:48.880 --> 00:59:52.159
I think we have a guest. The lights just flickered
890
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:55.360
a little They're like, your diamond is up. We gotta go.
891
00:59:56.679 --> 01:00:00.559
We have seven chairs for the seven diablows. I've decided
892
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:03.880
to come away. In another conversation about the Emily Morgan, okay,
893
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:08.719
Allison wants us to visit. In that case, I.
894
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:10.119
Have three days off this weekend.
895
01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:13.679
I am going to go visit, Go visit family, go
896
01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:16.840
visit family, air quotes, and go see.
897
01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:19.239
Some fellow Texans.
898
01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:20.039
I gotta go go.
899
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:24.360
Mainly not be going by myself.
900
01:00:24.639 --> 01:00:27.119
Don't go by yourself, take your dad along.
901
01:00:27.239 --> 01:00:27.480
With you.
902
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:31.639
He's always a good partner in putting debt.
903
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.920
See the lights flickered again, and I said that that is.
904
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:45.079
Wow, Oh my goodness. I yeah, okay, remember if anybody's
905
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:48.599
here with us, that's that's chiming in and getting close
906
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:52.159
to our our microphone. Here, I'm not seeing anything on
907
01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:57.079
the meters, you know, say your peace. We're we're of
908
01:00:57.119 --> 01:01:00.159
course anxious to hear what you have to say. You
909
01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:04.400
pay an extra attention to this episode, I think you should. Yeah,
910
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:08.440
when you're editing, it's like whoa wait a minute, it's like,
911
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:14.840
excuse me, that is not correct? Yeah, but okay, well
912
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:18.360
I think we actually believe it or not. I have
913
01:01:18.559 -->
01:01:26.559
two pages worth of what not to do, and I
914
01:01:26.599 --> 01:01:28.639
think one last one that I'm going to mention just
915
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:33.119
very quickly is if you decide to have a person
916
01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:35.360
that has psychic abilities. And this could be a whole
917
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:37.920
different episode, because I know we've already talked about psychics,
918
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.679
But if you decide to have a psychic join you,
919
01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:46.159
which I recommend they're great or a very psychically sensitive person,
920
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:49.360
please bet them, because there are a lot that are
921
01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:52.280
fraudulent or they think they've got abilities and they don't
922
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:55.559
and the ones that think they've got abilities and they don't,
923
01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:59.239
they tend to be really big attention seekers and they
924
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:05.679
can be very very disruptive when it comes to gathering evidence.
925
01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:09.440
So yes, and that's like that could that's a whole
926
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:10.159
can of worms.
927
01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:14.159
I would also say give them as little information as
928
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:14.639
you can.
929
01:02:15.039 --> 01:02:16.079
Yes, if you.
930
01:02:16.119 --> 01:02:23.519
Know the history, just yeah, because then you know exactly
931
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:26.639
what they're coming in. They would have to come in
932
01:02:27.159 --> 01:02:33.880
with their own information. Yeah, And it's it's a lot
933
01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:37.119
easier to point out if they're faking it, because then
934
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:41.159
they're gonna be like, oh, well, this is the Emily
935
01:02:41.239 --> 01:02:43.840
Morgan Hotel it was, And if they're just starting to
936
01:02:43.920 --> 01:02:49.639
state facts, it's like, yeah, that's a little fishy. It's like, yeah,
937
01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:54.320
it's okay. Like if they just randomly it's like, oh,
938
01:02:54.880 --> 01:02:57.239
this is the fourteenth Florida it used to be the
939
01:02:57.280 --> 01:03:01.599
hospital or the surgical wing. Yeah, okay, how.
940
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:09.559
You can if they can give you very historically verifiable facts,
941
01:03:10.400 --> 01:03:15.599
and that's really helpful. And usually if people say, hey,
942
01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:19.559
I've got psychic abilities. I remember when Robbie, when I
943
01:03:19.599 --> 01:03:23.360
first met Robbie, who's like crazy psychic ability, He's got
944
01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:29.280
crazy psychic abilities. Oh, he's he is constantly blows me away.
945
01:03:29.320 --> 01:03:32.960
But anyway, he was like, yeah, you know, he's really
946
01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:35.480
humble about it. And I remember he's like, yeah, I've
947
01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:37.840
got some kind of you know, psychic I think I've
948
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:40.960
got some kind of psychic abilities. And I remember saying
949
01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:43.800
thinking to myself, Okay, yeah, we'll let you come on
950
01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:48.440
one investigation and then you know, just see see see
951
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:52.159
what you're worth here, you know. And from that point
952
01:03:52.199 --> 01:03:54.360
on when he's coming, I mean, it was like, this
953
01:03:54.440 --> 01:03:59.039
dude's legit fantastic. Yeah, it's it's kind of like coming
954
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:03.760
up with names and places and times. He comes up
955
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:13.039
consistently with verifiable facts of things that he has no idea.
956
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:17.360
I mean, my my favorite example of him is in
957
01:04:17.440 --> 01:04:21.639
Claybroom when I mean, for whatever reason, almost the entire
958
01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:25.000
time there, the little girl that was there was talking
959
01:04:25.039 --> 01:04:28.840
to him. Yeah, he had no idea about the little girl,
960
01:04:29.119 --> 01:04:32.400
but the rest of us did. And he was just like, yeah,
961
01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:34.639
I'm just there's this little girl in my room that
962
01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:39.280
keeps talking to me. And we're all just like what
963
01:04:39.880 --> 01:04:42.400
and he's like, yeah, this little girl. And it's like, okay,
964
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:45.800
none of us told you about that, And for you
965
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:47.400
to come up to us and be like, who's a
966
01:04:47.400 --> 01:04:48.559
little girl and this and that.
967
01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:52.159
It's like yeah, okay, yeah, it's like verifiable. It's kind
968
01:04:52.159 --> 01:04:54.119
of like, oh, triangulation verifiably.
969
01:04:54.320 --> 01:04:54.639
Yeah.
970
01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:57.280
Yeah. So yeah, if you can get a good psychic,
971
01:04:57.679 --> 01:05:00.800
oh man, they're worth their weight in gold, hold on them. Yes,
972
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:03.599
but there's a lot of folks out there that are
973
01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:07.039
pretty flaky and they think they're psychics and they're not.
974
01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:10.320
And they can be like I said, they tend to
975
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:13.119
be the attention seekers and they can be very disruptive,
976
01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:17.000
I'm getting this or that, and they'll get real theatrical
977
01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:20.320
and they might get them you know, emotional about oh
978
01:05:20.559 --> 01:05:22.760
I'm so sad or I'm still go or that. You know,
979
01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:26.800
I just basically just very look at me, look at me,
980
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:30.920
look at me. And people that have genuine abilities, at
981
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:35.079
least in my experience, they are opposite of that. They're
982
01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:41.960
usually very quiet, very you know, calm, and just give
983
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:48.039
you this freaking amazing information. So yeah, okay, well that
984
01:05:48.199 --> 01:05:49.679
that wraps up my list.
985
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:54.239
I will just say, just speaking a little bit, which
986
01:05:55.239 --> 01:06:00.519
one of my cousins is very psychic, very sensitive. I
987
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:06.719
remember were her last visit was her parents and she
988
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:09.800
and I were in the backseat, and then I was like, oh,
989
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:12.440
you should get that house. And then my uncle was
990
01:06:12.480 --> 01:06:14.960
looking at it. He goes, yeah, yeah, because they're considering
991
01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:21.199
about getting real estate here and Waco. And then my
992
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:23.199
uncle was like, yeah, that's a that's a pretty house.
993
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:27.440
And then my cousin goes, it's haunted. Dad. I go s,
994
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:29.440
and then my.
995
01:06:29.440 --> 01:06:31.440
Uncle was like nope, nope, nope, let's go.
996
01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:34.320
And I was like, man, and to think you're my
997
01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:40.159
dad's brother. And then they started laughing and then my
998
01:06:40.239 --> 01:06:42.199
cousin's like, what do you mean. I was like, my
999
01:06:42.360 --> 01:06:44.920
dad went on a home investigation with me and then
1000
01:06:45.000 --> 01:06:51.239
the meanwhile he's over here running. They started laughing, but
1001
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:54.039
it was just so funny that I pointed out the
1002
01:06:54.119 --> 01:07:00.079
house and then my cousin's like, no, it's haunted, and
1003
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:03.599
that sounds like she knows. I was like, come on,
1004
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:05.519
she was wait, how did you know? I was like,
1005
01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:07.280
oh no, I just said get that.
1006
01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:11.920

I mean sensitive in one way.
1009
01:07:22.559 --> 01:07:26.639
Oh gosh. Well, on that note, yes, we should probably
1010
01:07:26.679 --> 01:07:29.199
wrap up unless you got anything you want to end
