but I lost my phone. man. Is it under me? I don't know. I think it's under my feet. You might hear a cat in the background because psychopath cat poppy is running around the garage being a menace, climbing things. She has an affinity for licking bags. Specifically Dollar Tree bags are her bag of choice. She really likes them. Yeah, she likes the quality of them. You know what? We each have our things. Look at her. She's such a psycho. Anyways, all right, you want my joke? Yes. Let's do Why don't witches have babies? Why? Because warlocks have Halloweenies. Halloweenies? Halloweenies. Not Halloweenies. Hollow. Hollowweenies. Like there's nothing in there. There's nothing in there. Ha ha. Ha ha. So funny. It's because someone else told the joke that we've told it before, but why don't witches wear underwear? Better grip. Better grip. They need a better grip. One of my all time favorite jokes. I actually was just about to say that reiterate it. Well, because I know we've sold it. Yeah, and that one came up on my feed of someone saying it and I opened the comment and because I was when I saw it, I was like, maybe someone will tell a variation of it or give another good Halloween joke. Which joke, and there was that. So it it worked. I like it. It was a good one. It was. Hello and welcome to Lunatic Soup, the podcast where we go into all things wild, weird and unknown. We're your host Meg. And I'm Raina, ready to rope some Lunatic Soup. Let's go. All right, let's see if I can read with these right. Well, we gotta go you are you skipping ahead? No, I'm we haven't reports. I can't just see anything. Yeah, but we gotta go over what we're drinking. Norm Raina, just what are we drinking? Well, you see you guys. There's a problem. I am working with shilling cider on a cocktail, to For my page and they sent me a ton of cider and I had to create some cocktails today. And then obviously Meg has to tell me which one she likes best. Don't worry, I picked. It was hard, but I picked. It's a it's a hard decision. but one is made with their chiter and it is what yeah, it's chider, wild roots, pear vodka, elder flower, liqueur, and lemon. And I did not think that pear and chider went well together. I this phenomenal. It's crispy. I feel like this is a fall stroll through the leaves. Maybe a crackling fire at the end of the day. I just don't think I ever want chider without pair of vodka. I agree. it is so good. It's so well rounded, y'all. It's well rounded. It's a very balanced cocktail. And then the next one which this is the winner for the, I think what I will be doing is a apple pie cider. It's their apple pie cider with a homemade cranberry simple syrup, which is one of my favorites. It's so good. And then Triple sec and rum. This is And if you know us. This is a not outside. This is it's cold outside. You've got many leather bound books inside and it's Thanksgiving and it's everyone's getting along. It's g see and this is where I'm going is this is what I'm gonna be drinking on Thanksgiving when everyone's like fighting and then I'll just be in my corner like having sips of joy. Just kidding. No one fights in my family but It's the rum and the cranberry. And whatever they're doing together is a phenomenal. But there's a hint of like the spice from the apple, but it's like s the apple pie. It's very minimal. In a cup. And it is delicious. So you know, I'll post the recipe eventually. But yeah, I'm dead. This is delightful. I'm and now and then we're also we're we have a cider for the show. So we have multiple things out of the So I went on a pilgrimage. we haven't talked in so long. We haven't talked about these glasses off. The last time we recorded was before I went to Lake Powell. So mid September. And then you went to New York and everywhere you guys. Yep. I took my beautiful daughter to New York City. We had the most perfect three days, four days in New York City. The first night we were there, my one of my best friends' husbands like was like we're going out. Yeah. And he just kept talking about his shrimp cocktail that he had to have. Good for and he wanted Georgia to go to Frank Sinatra, I don't know why took me a minute to think of that name. Frank Sinatra's favorite bar. fun. And so I have a picture of Georgia and my my best friend's husband sitting on the bar of Frank Sinatra's favorite bar. My favorite part was I said, We can't go into a bar, I have a minor and he goes, Well, not with that attitude. It's very New York of him. Very New York of him. Well, while she was in Salem, she broke of Yeah, then we drove to Salem after that. And so this is the Far Far from the Tree. Far from the tree cider. Shout out. I told them I was gonna be drinking their cider on air. Mm-hmm. It's so good, you guys. This is just a little bit off of the main drag in Salem, which Salem is batshit. I believe it's And it's amazing. And I cannot wait to go back. I want to go back in like the spring. Yeah. Not you said not in October. Not in October. Yeah. It beautiful. All the pictures you perfect posted and sent were gorgeous. And it was a perfect day. And it was it was just, it was wonderful. But on a Tuesday, it was Crazy. Yeah. It was crazy. Yeah. So this is Far from the Tree Cider. they had also Hocus Pocus themed stuff. Yes. you brought with the Winifred and the Sarah and the Mirror. There's one called the Ectoplasm. That's eight. It's a spicy one. It's a spicy one. So I'll maybe I'll drink that on air at some point. Speaking of Hocus Pocus, last weekend I brought my daughters to HorrorCon and I got to meet the one and only Doug Jones who was who do not know who that is. He is the Billy The Zombie. Yeah. The zombie. And it he was. Just a beautiful human. Just lovely. Just amazing. For the record, she sends a picture of this other very old man who definitely looks extremely old. And then she tells me, she goes, Devin Sawa's here. And I was like, my God, get a picture. And she goes, I sent the picture. And I'm

like, is he 80? How old is he? I mean, he's gotta like fifty. He looks eighty. He's not that old. He looked it. That picture, I did that was not a fifty year old man. Which one? Was it the n the professional picture? I don't know. Hang on, let's make sure that you that it actually came through because Maybe maybe it didn't. Because I when you said that the one signing at the table? Hang on. I gotta look through all of our pictures now. I know. There's been so much, you guys, and this was only four days ago. This guy. No. Okay. okay. I thought it was That's Papa from Stranger Things. whoa. Okay. Yes. But that's who I thought it you were saying was him. That was dev no, okay. He doesn't look eighty. He definitely looks his age. He looks his age. Okay. No, that would th you must have sent it and I didn't realize that. I didn't 'cause I didn't even see that, but I was also running around like an absolute psycho that day. That was a psychotic day. I was I was on the news you guys on Monday morning making my cocktail pods of like local Seattle news and it my whole weekend was taken up by me making sure I didn't fuck them up on air and that I didn't say fuck. And I didn't guys on air. She didn't. I was so proud of her. And I was proud of you too. I was I was teaching that day and students were were doing self work. So they were they were fine. So I'm in the back, no volume, like poll watching. The news It was fun. It turned out really well. I did better than I thought I would and everything went good. So I I had no complaints about it, but it was yeah, a crazy ass weekend 'cause I was just so fucking anxious. So so anyway, far from this tree cider, this is the Salem. It's their dry cider. Yum. Yeah, it's delicious. Yeah. You guys, I'm scared. This is not what it tasted like when I was there. The smell on it. Yeah. Do you think it's just didn't did it go bad? I think it must not have traveled properly. it didn't something's off. This is not this is not. You've had it. It But I had it. I loved it. Are you kidding me? I can't drink that. There's something off with it. There's so it's that's like almost it's like rancid. I think it is. Damn it. This has been happening far too often. I think ciders are just such a craft thing. I need something to cleanse the palate. Well, the can's really pretty. It is. No, I think it went bad because I had that there and you would not taste it. You would know. And the you and I both know we don't typically the smell on it right away, I could tell it was. I know me too. I was like, this isn't I was gonna try to play it off and then your face was like, No. Well anyways, it's nothing against them. It's us. No. It's not you. Storage. It's me. All right. So, anyways, I'm glad we have other cocktails. That works out. Works out well for you. You remind me of Ozzie Osbourne with those glasses on. I love it. I was going John Lennon, but you yeah, okay, that too. I mean, same, same. I love it. Yeah. All right. So what are we talking

about today, Megan? Today we are talking about this is a local one. It's our Halloween episode. So I wanted to go a little local and we're gonna talk about the Bothell Hellhouse. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. No demons. You're a fucking liar. You're editing this one then. Psych. I hate you. so our story starts in Bothell, Washington, which is a suburb of Seattle. It's about an hour ish away from us. Maybe a little bit more. Like an hour twenty. depending on the traffic. Yeah. And which is always traffic. How heavy your foot is. So Tex will get there in forty five minutes. In two thousand eleven, Keith, Linder and his girlfriend moved to the area. Keith had just become An IT specialist, someone's gonna start working. He and his girlfriend Tina moved into this house in Bothell. Okay. The house and the neighborhood are described as being idyllic, like your typical Seattle home. They were very excited. It was a fairly new build. It was built in two thousand five. So everyone was pretty surprised by What was about to happen. I'm so disappointed in that cider. I'm so upset. Yes, we've waited for it. I'm sad for you because you can tell it's not the cider. I think it's definitely No, I you know what this means? We're just gonna have to go to Salem. I agree. I just am baffled, is it a canning issue? Or I don't know if it's already bad because it should be fine. Flying shouldn't affect it. Flying shouldn't affect it, but it it smells rancid. It smells there's just no it smelled so funky when I it smells like a diaper. It does. It really such a bummer. Such a bummer. I'm so disappointed. Me too. Just have to go back. so the first little while things were fine. Keith and Tina were getting along well in their new home. They were working, they were making friends, they were meshing themselves in the community. And then things started happening. It was pretty subtle at first. Mm-hmm. Keith and Tina reported the sound of what they described as a sick child coughing throughout the night and they did not have children. You and I, whatever. We hear that all the time. The time. Literally, like school starts and then the next weekend, it's like everyone's sick. And you just lay there and you're like, at what point do I get up and make them like adjust how they're sitting and bring them like something to stop the coughing? You know, when you're laying there and you're like, Are they gonna go back to sleep? Right. What if is this gonna keep going? because it just depends. Pretty sure Boo Boo's home. yeah, I can hear him. Yeah, well he just banged on the house. he's putting away the garbage cans. Garbage day. Garbage day. Garbage day. yeah, that that sickness, man. I mean, I've had two chest x rays now already and it's October. Yeah. Jesus, yeah. Luckily, only one of them was pneumonia. I've had COVID and the flu, so I'm doing great over here. I'm really happy you made these cocktails. I'm so happy I made these cocktails. We'd be fucked otherwise. Yeah. no, I have so much more. What? We more ciders? well no, you're right. We have a plethora of ciders in I mean, I've I obviously have a lot of booze in this house. Yeah. I know it's shocking. No way. Hey, baby! Hello, Davno! You don't want to say hi? He he didn't even see you. He just saw He walks out from makes and goes, Jesus, and walks away. She's eating a I am a Mothman. Do you want a sip of this delicious cider? Are you excited that I got a ride? Can we try this cider from Salem, Massachusetts? Can you be really, really, really good? We didn't even have to angry whore it. No. And then I have two other ciders that are cocktailed that I want you to try a sip of. Does it? Not right, huh? It smells funny. Yeah, it's horrible. Something's wrong. She had it when she was in Salem and she goes, it smells like a dirty diaper. I like, uh-huh. It means it's fucked. No, we th we don't think it something happened in the can because she had it there. I had it there and it was great. Something in the fermentation that's wrong though. See? Yeah. Okay. So this is a rum, apple pie cider. Cranberry cocktail. That one's good, right? And then one more. Try to. Wait, wait. And this is the Boo boo, come say happy Halloween. You never come on anymore. Yeah, you never come on. some listeners don't even know you exist. You can't keep a stupid face with me right now. No, or is it that or was it me saying you he never comes? I don't know which one. Which I come say hello. Who knows? Shut up. Come say hello. Get your get your big head over here. G'day. That's all. Talk like an or say happy Halloween. you Americans, happy Halloween. You don't have Halloween in Australia? We do not. Yes, you you line sack a crap. There there's a big drive behind the whole I mean, it's not it's not the same as It's an American holiday. It but it's not celebration. Irish holiday. The problem is Australians are very stubborn and signs up on their doors now saying it's an American See you next Tuesday being dropped as well. I saw something about how Australians talk and it was get fucked, crack open a can. Get eye, mate. Crack open a can. That is get out of here. Crack open a can. Usually it is crack open the can and go, get fucked. Crack open the can and go away. And crack open can. Hey, here's one for you. Crack open another can. Yeah. That's accurate. Goodbye. Bye boo boo. Goodbye, my love. For real. So sick child coughing throughout the night. Yes. Yes. Yes. So we've been there, done that. so they thought perhaps a neighbor was just really close. And they could make the windows open. Like that could happen. That could happen. that could definitely totally happen, especially with how close houses are to especially in Seattle. Houses are very close together. so but it continued and they began to realize that the sound was coming from inside the house. They searched and searched but could not locate the source of the sound. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. So I wonder if they went outside and then

they couldn't hear the coughing and then they can't. And then they realized they did yeah, well cause and then you have to think, it's this is also a time of year they bought it in two thousand five or it was built in two thousand five? Built in two thousand thousand five. they moved in in eleven. Okay, yeah. So this is we're in modern technology era. We're in like you Yeah. Yeah. You're outside, you wanna see if you can hear it. Absolutely not. No. Things got worse. no. One incident that Keith reported in interviews was that he and Tina were watching a movie when he noticed a potted plant that was sitting next to the TV was floating. shit. Mm-hmm. And it came several inches off the ground. Quote from an article that he was interviewed for. It rose up about six inches and did a total three sixty turn and then fell over out of the blue. Prior to that, there had been sounds, subtle bangs, and waking up to find cabinet doors open. After that, there was no denying that our house was haunted. Something was here. That's insane. Yeah. That's like, that is like you're haunted. If you see something floating. Haunted. Yeah. Like it's not just like the subtle sounds and footsteps and I mean you're haunted. But the coughing, that's also something I've witten all the years. We've done a podcast. I've never heard that. You've never heard that? No, that we've that someone's heard coughing. Coughing, no. I've heard names. Yeah, we've heard names. We've heard Yeah, but you're right, nothing. I've never heard And it sounded like a sick child coughing. and that makes sense, but never heard that before. after this incident, they noticed that objects were moving on their own and even being destroyed around the house. one particular incident was involving religious items. While Keith and Tina were not religious, they had three Bibles in their possession. Those Bibles disappeared from their shelves sometime in twenty thirteen. So now they've been in the house for two years. Twenty fourteen, been in the house for three years. They woke up one night to the smoke alarm. The books were on fire. So here's my question. Is any of this documented in other than word? Like of them saying? Yeah, there's pictures of the Bible. So they took pi because this is they are cell phones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So quote, the first Bible was missing for over a year and came back to us on fire. It wasn't the fire that woke us up. the door was closed, the fire alarm woke us up, and when we opened the door, there was the Bible burning. Wow. I guess I'm trying to think 2011. I don't know that we had This was 14 at this point. this is 14. cause so we did have Camera. Yeah, we're to yeah. 'cause I got my thirteen years, yeah. I got mine right before my oldest was born in twenty eleven. So that's why I got it on the That's like I'm trying to think I'm trying to remember when technology caught it. But yeah, because I I had Snapchat at that point and I Instagram by the time I had babies. So yeah. Damn. Isn't that crazy? So you could just grab your phone to take a picture. That's more what I think. Yeah. Okay. There are pictures of the burnt Bible. This is also unique because we n rarely get new age stories on we rarely get things and this is like okay yay you're rattling chains and stuff like that. Cool. Burning Bibles is this is a bigger one. Burning a Bible. Burning anything. Burning anything. I knew a story like from someone personally and they had video of this. They would throw knives at the wall. That Is too the fuck no. I could never stay. I couldn't I get the fuck out. Mm hmm. They eventually did and it followed them. So I don't like that. That's cool. they put the fire out and were inspecting the Bibles when Keith noticed that a wooden cross was jammed between the pages and burned with the book. Aren't like religious relics supposed to like deter Apparently. Right? Aren't they supposed like you can't like I don't know Back beast. Yeah, that's what yeah, they ba the price compel you. no that's no, but that in the Exorcist, that's allegedly, holy water and the nines. Did you see they're doing a new Exorcist? I did not. Mike Flanagan is dire my god, you guys. The love I have for Mike Flanagan. Wait, is it you who's never even seen the original Exorcist? I've seen it. Okay. Someone I was talking to had never seen it and I was like Who was it? And it was someone that I it feel it was you, but it obviously wasn't. But I was like maybe one of the poltergeists I haven't seen. Was that what it was? I was something that I've seen, and I was like, How have you not seen it of all people? But maybe it wasn't you. Anyways, continued. Everyone So, yeah. He's Mike Flanagan. I'm back to I'm still on I'm stuck on Mike Flanagan because I just finished watching the remake of Carrie the TV show. Very excited about that, yes. So freaking good. Yeah. So freaking good. You are Mike Flanagan can do no wrong. None. I don't really know who he is, but yes. I agree with you. you are watching American Horror Story though, or you started to? Yes. Then my favorite thing, she's never watched it before. And she goes, She's like, This is really fucking weird. And I start so then I started watching it too because I hadn't been watching it, and I'm like, It is fucking weird, but this is standard American horror story. It is so I watched up the Coven one. Yeah so you did watch Coven. I I watched all of Coven. I almost couldn't get through it because it's Madame LaLaurie and Jesus Christ. and then I watched half of last season and I just didn't hold my interest. Yeah, we didn't watch last season either. We didn't hold my interest. Yeah. I'm like four, five episodes in on this new season, and I'm just like, I don't know what's happening. I know. I am very there's so many things. But what I love is all of the cast coming back. Yes, and I what's the guy's name? I can't think of it. He Evan Evan Rock. Not Roberts, that's Eva Roberts. Evan Evans something Evans. God damn it. not

Chris Evans. Nope. Nope. Sump Shannon is yelling at us. We're there's lot of people yelling at us right now. hang on. K Libit Evan No, his last name is Evans. Evans. Evan Peters. Evan Peters. I knew it was two first names. Close. Anyways. But I love that Jessica Lang is in it too. Like she she was in the like the original ones. But what you're not realizing is like right at the very beginning, like sh the child with Down syndrome. That's from the very first movie. Or very first season. From Mercury. She was also in Coven. Was she? She was one of the witches in Coven. Then maybe I'm no she wasn't I think she was in so she must be in both. I think she's in a lot of because the whole the whole thing was. Well, with Jessica Lang, is you're saying, or the Down syndrome girl? Both of Both of them. She was She's probably just one of those I it's neat. Well, I mean they they bring characters in and do whatever, but yeah. I You who else is that? Who? Make Flanagan. I love it. He uses the same actor. So I I love it. Well, I'm just excited. Sarah Paulson's obviously in too, which is already shown her, and I'm like, yeah. We're gonna watch it tonight. So the guy from he was the little boy in E.T. And now he's in all of Mike Flanagan stuff. When I was at HorrorCon last week, such a freaking dork. My kids were like, smooth mom. I I'm walking and he's like sitting there with a beer and he like gestures to me, and I'm just like And wave. And they're like freaking nerves. But all well, so you just panic. I panic because he's wonderful. And I'm like, I know who you are. You have no idea who I am. Right. But I'm excited to see you. But I'm excited. And then I kept walking. Well, good. At least you didn't like Yeah. I don't know. Like I I had my children with me. What else are you gonna do? What else am I gonna do? I'm not gonna pull up and have a beer. I could. Idiot. I am an idiot. Freaking idiot. my god. Okay. So at this point we have just poltergeist activity. I wouldn't say harmless poltergeist activity. It did set a Bible on fire. That is pretty setting anything on fire in a house is definitely a little terrifying, but yes. It's kind of life threatening. Yeah. At that point. So Keith and Tina were reported saying how much this instance scared them if the fire alarm had not gone off and alerted them. This could have been very, very much a bad situation. huh. like like gone. Yeah. Dead died. Yeah, dead, died, gone. Yeah. Mm hmm. they their other Bibles were thrown from the shelves. Like so, okay, so they they had three Bibles. One of was on fire. The other ones went missing and then they were flying across the room. Okay. So this thing did not like Bibles. Yes. But it's not a demon. We all know how I feel every time she does a demon episode. in most poltergeist instances, the spirit seems to just move things around. Which is different from other hauntings. Uh-huh. what makes this case even scarier and stranger is that the entity did not just toss things around.

It was trying to harm. And that is we got asked by someone when we did the farmer's market w w what we thought about demons. Do you remember that lady who walked in was kind of asking us? Yeah. And it was because we were we are still unsure what we feel what a demon is. But it is these whatever this entity is, the kind of thing that is purposely trying to cause harm. That is the scary thing to me. Yes. I don't think it's like against Jesus H Crest or anything like that. But I don't think it comes from hell. I I'm on the record saying that. I think the orange man sent it. Yeah. How dare you get pinnacle on here. my God. What I'm not talking about that orange man. I'm talking about the other one. the other one. The Lorax. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously. so this poltergeist seemed to have targeted Keith and Tina, but really honed in on Keith. he didn't like he didn't like Keith. Books flying off the shelves can hurt But didn't cause much damage. Right. But the poltergeist started amping things up and started throwing scissors and knives across the room and Keith would enter. Luckily it missed Keith, but they wouldn't bed in the wall. So then I'm gone. They stayed a long time. What's wrong with them? One of the scarier instances, according to T Keith, was that a large book butcher knife levitated in the hallway and struck the door to his office. Okay. Yeah. Again, why are we staying? This is like somebody that I I didn't know, but I was like knew of this family. that's the kind of crap they had going on. Yeah. And they had video footage of it. Yeah. Like in street. I mean, that's the kind of stuff too. I mean, look, I get that you couldn't just afford to like leave a house. Especially if you buy it. I get that. But also, like, this is back in like they were renting. they were renting? They were renting. Well then get me the fuck out. Yeah, and in two thousand eleven, especially here, it was that's when we bought and it was at its bottom. Yeah, yeah, it was at its bottom. But it's not the same as it is now. You don't know where they moved from. What if they moved from California? And they had nothing that was expensive. there's so many Yeah, it's not cheap, but still that's a whole when you rent it's like first, last, and a deposit. So it's like three months worth of rent to move into a yeah, it's huge it's like the same as having to almost put down like a Whatever. When depends on down. Yeah. Because you don't have to put a whole depends on your loan. Yeah. I don't remember. What's it? I think I don't know. It was 10% or something. Yeah, I think the minimum is three. I don't know. I'm not a mortgage broker. Me either, and I don't remember what we did. vases, glasses, beer bottles were seen either being smashed, found smashed, or sometimes Keith and Tina reported them being literally absorbed into the wall. Now I'm out. absorbed what, a cup or a beer bottle into the wall? Just like whoop and out. But that. That again, that's something that we haven't

heard. That is something that we have not heard. Because that to me means that there's some sort of portal or something. Because how does somebody just go? Like you know, it like typically the laws of physics still apply as far as like Usually that kind of thing. Like obviously there's an energetic force that is moving it, but like it still applies the laws of physics as far as like things in our realm. Interesting. Yeah. I don't like it. all of the other things I would have been pretty much out, but that I would have been like, and we're gone. We're gone. Like things just like whoop right in front of your eyes. I I mean would have been gone when knives were thrown at me. That's true. That's true. Very much so. The poltergeist did not want Keith to have any rest whatsoever. Things escalated in keeping to keeping him awake and essentially Tina awake by opening and closing his door at night and waking him up at all hours. That is the greatest form of torture. yeah, just the second you fall asleep and then the door opens and closes. yeah. I remember watching this pirate show long like in the nineties. I like I think it was Horatio Hornblower or something like that. And it it was like an old old story. and his punishment was to be woken up every hour. yeah. So he was sitting s in his his cot and someone had to come and wake him up every hour and that was his torture. That was his punishment. That's sometimes welcomed being a new parent. And that's why women lose their freaking minds. Is because you are when you are it is like torture. It's when you're that sleep deprived, you literally like your emotions are you're psychotic. You you are psychotic. You feel insane, but it's because you're so sleep deprived. I remember feeling that after Leia was in the NICU for a week. god. Because you're in the NICU, so they have to come in and check constantly. And I refuse to leave her and come home because I was like, I'm not leaving without her. And by the time I got home, I remember my sister being here and she was like helping me set up her nursery because I didn't get to finish doing it because she got she was born a little early. And I was like, I'm gonna go nap. But I she was like, just go nap. I have the baby. I've got it. And Tex was here, but we had two other girls, whatever. And I just remember being like, I feel insane right now. I feel like everything is crumbling around me. And I was like, she's like, You just need to sleep. Go sleep. And I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna sleep. Because you get woken up constantly when the nurses come in. I remember after Olive she didn't sleep well and my friend Vanessa said to me, If you don't get a solid four hours of sleep, it's an actual It's a thing. Thing. you need a solid four hours of sleep or you will go mentally insane. And it's we were really driving is worse than drunk driving. I believe that. There's a study that came out about that and it yeah, a whole thing. Like it's not good. Ugh My one of my besties has a

new baby and she was up all hours when I was in New York. And I I just feel for her. Like And we both like, We're too old, we could never do that again. I could never one of my friends had a baby like two days ago. Yeah. And I'm like She's a year older than me. I mean, my mom had her last week at 45, and here I am, not even 40, and I'm like, Jesus Christ. Or maybe she was 43. No, I think she was 45. Yeah, either way. I give it to you, Mamas. I give it to you, Mamas, man. Keith became convinced that the spirit was hellbent on disrupting his life. You think? Sounds like it. He said the spirit was literally driving him mad. The poltergeist would mess with the TV so much that they unplugged it. Only to find that it did nothing and the T V would still turn on and off on its own. That's more poltergeist activity. Don't you think? Well, I guess it could be demonic activity. I feel like demon crosses both barriers, in my opinion. So not all poltergeist are demons, but all demons are poltergeists. 'Cause you think about all the like deep like the ones of like the kids being levitated off for moving a human. Yeah. And that's true. Yeah. You know, yeah, that's Yeah. What was that? The the one over in England. I can't remember. There was one over in England and there was one in Ohio, the Hellhouse that Dildole Baggins investigated. I can't remember. I can't think of it. Anyway. Her name started with an A. I can't remember though. We've gotten so many. Keith started seeing beans in the home. The most common was an elderly woman who he first witnessed in twenty twelve. And now we've gone up to twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. So he's he stayed. Quote, the thing I remember most about the whole experience is her face, the gray lady's face. She had a look of mischief. She also had a look of being tired, confused, and scared. I truly believe that she turned off my light switch. I heard the switch go off and it made the sound, and the sound reached my ears. So he's like, I'm not crazy. I hear this happening. I'm experiencing this happening. Wild. He met the spirit three times during their time at the Bothel house. There was also allegedly a spirit of a baby or small child, which it could be the coughing in the beginning. psych psychic medium Carissa Fleck and Nikki it doesn't give her a last name from the Paranormal with Liverpool Paranormal dot com came to the house and noted that several spirits of deceased that had existed in the area, many of whom seemed to be young settlers, as well as indigenous people were Around the house. Okay. So they came in and cleansed and yeah. Carissa Fleck said, What I experienced there is mostly of Native American present. It was weird because the house alm was almost like a portal where spirits can come. Yeah. Sorry. I'm sorry. You made the joke earlier. me nobody You did it. It was in my head. Blame me. It's always my fault. Always. Why is the rum always gone? I'm not drink I'm drinking the the pear one first. I finished the rum.

I like to save my favorite for last. That's I do that when I when I have a a cider flight or something or a wine flight, I save my favorite for last. Well yeah, it's like saving the best bite for last. Like you make sure your last bite is like the best the best bite. One. I don't know. I get it. I drank that one first. And now I'm doing this one. This still deli I'm still not mad about. Chai chai and pear. I had no idea chai and pear was a good combo. I yeah, because steamed stewed pears or something, and you think they do like spice? I've seen a spice pear martini. Or you you cook them in wine. Makes me want to do a chai tea and then do with pear and try to make a martini out of chai lattes this sum this winter. I love a chai latte. I'm trying to figure out how to survive the winter. yeah. Godspeed. I was chatting with someone online earlier. Squirrel. and she really got me through summer with summer ween and that aesthetic and like watch and I'm like, What what what are you doing now, girl? What are you doing now? And she's got it all pick figured out. Weird Weird Girl Winter. Yeah, we're gonna do it. Wild that you're like this is this is the time of year. This is when I feel like you thrive. It's about to be Christmassy. It's about to be Christmassy, but I still need my little macabre. I have to have it. It it's cozy to me. Christmas is cozy. I just found my slasher shorts that I thought I lost over the summer. I was so excited. Cause it was thanks to you, because you're like, I need your ghost face mask. And I'm like, I'll look Wait the shorts that you thought you lost on the ferry? Mm-hmm. They were with you the whole time? They were with me the whole time. Crazy. Was it inside of your costume or something? Yep. It was wrapped inside of my costume. I didn't realize that was a shorts. Anyways, okay. I'm so excited. I have them now. yeah, man. after several years, Keith decided it was time to reach out for help. yes, about damn time. He gathered evidence and put together a packet and started sending it out. He sent it out to several TV ghost hunting shows. One piece of evidence in the packet was a 666 symbol that was written on the wall in Keith's office. Whose attention do you think it got? let me guess. Well, there's two people, but I believe at this era was who are you thinking? Who's the second? Well, it would either be the Warrens or Dildo Baggins. She wasn't she wasn't dead at that point. But they just weren't doing it that day. I almost dildo baggins and then I second guessed myself and then I was trying to think. That's fair though. I was trying to think if there's anything with demons, I feel like it's one of the two. And then I'm like, when did they stop versus he took over? the dumb fuckery, if you will. It is dumbfuckery, you're anyways, Dildo Baggins is Zach Baggins, people who don't know. We are not a big fan. Not a big fan. I'm not a huge fan of the Warrens either. No. pedophiles, by the way. There. The record. In case you didn't know that. They are. There she is. Well the man is women was complacent. Stop it. She stop it. Anyway, when we were in Salem they have their their museum there with that Matt Reif. Yeah, yeah. Yes. I have the comedian. Sure. he's very cute. He's very cute. He's a dumb fuck. He's he's I I don't think it's very deep. Anyway, well, shut up, Fran. That's what she said. Anyway, so the Warren Museum was there and I refused. I refuse to go in. One because it's a lot of murder murder memorabilia, and I don't want that. They he there is a lot of there's a few haunted objects from the Warren's collection, but also even if it's haunted, even if it's certifiable from these c stories that we've covered, he was a pedophile. He was, yeah. So we don't support any kind of that. No. Ever. Even if you're in office. Especially if you're in office. they came and stayed at the house. So Zach Baggins, you are correct. They came and stayed at the house and did did an extensive investigation, which aired in 2015. Come at me, bro. Come at me, bro. not surprisingly, nothing conclusive was found by the Ghost Adventures team. I feel like that's a lot. They always lead you on, and then it's usually some sort of spirit flirting with Zach. Always. That or they try to get in his body. And she thought I was very attractive. And then she also Or then what was the one that you'd rather have a live person think you were attractive? he did date I think he dated Holly Madison who was one of the bunnies. one of the bunnies. Yeah. How'd that work out? I don't think well. I think she said he was a narcissist. No. I couldn't tell. I had no idea. I would have never known. There were no sounds. There was sarcasm in there, everybody. but what was it you I sent the one where it's like a there's a video clip of him being like I feel like I'm gonna punch you, man. I feel like we're gonna punch you. And then he made him like walk away as bald the bald guy who almost got murdered by his wife or something. yeah. Anyways. You're a hot mess. Psychress. Keith's response to a lack of evidence was him saying that they were not here to prove or disapprove anything. And I happen to agree with him. They weren't there to prove that there was anything there or disprove that then there was anything there. They were there to collect evidence of what had been going on. Keith next tried a new approach from the scientific of parapsychology community. He gathered a crew to come to his home and investigate. The crew was that of Don Phillips, who is a renowned paranormal investigator in the UK, where Zach and his team came in and filmed for about five hours. That tracks. Don's team stayed for three weeks. So you're saying Zach is just pretty fast. Yeah. Is that what we're saying? That's what she said. That's what she said. says right here. Shocker. He showed up. He was like, they're not interacting with me. Also, we know this that the paranormal He got what he needed. Also, sometimes they know like these

people are they're not gonna fuck they're not gonna give you what you want. No. Especially when you're just kind of person he is. my god, I hate him. Yeah. the team did a thorough investigation and went into the history of the land. The land, honey. The land. And the that the home was on. Quote from the team. We came here, we listened to Keith's story, we talked to a priest. The priest told us something quite phenomenal, that there was evidence where he believed that Keith's home was built on settlements of people who had passed away and who could still be here. So this added to this theory that people dying on the land created spirits or stone tape theory or whatever that's Stone tape theory is where the land records energy. It's not a ghost that you're seeing. It's literally energy like a scene replaying itself, kinda like a movie. Yes. And they think that these horrific events possibly attracted demon demonic entities for longer than Keith's home had been there. This the attracting of demonic entities kind of proves what we've talked about for a long time. That They aren't heaven and hell. They've been here and they're opportunist. They're a they're opportunists. That's a good way to put it. They're opportunists and they find a way into a place or whether it's someone empty with something. And if they're fucking with someone's fucking with something they don't understand and opens some kind of passageway or I like that. They're opportunists. I love that. That's actually perfect. I that that was a that was a sprinkle. That was a sprinkle. It wasn't a moment. Look at her. Look at her. She's alive. Love that look at her her brain function today for a moment. so it's similar situation to a horror movie where poltergeist, you know, the family moves in, there's poltergeist haunting the family in a modern suburban home on a displaced burial ground, which we try not to talk about that a lot because it's always a n an Indian burial ground. Yeah, which is And we try not to do that because that's kind of a scapegoat for a lot of people. A thousand percent. When most of the time it was, you know. People of your and mine lineage that did shitty things and are fucking around with it. Created the bad thing. There is we know that there was a lot of shit that went down between the white people and the Native Americans, especially you know, especially areas. Well everywhere. Everywhere. But yeah. And there are places, but just because like there was like a battle there doesn't mean that it's just like Native American people who are haunting. It's just the bad energy of bad things happening. Are you looking at what it is? No, I'm looking well, one, these glasses that are red eyes make it so I can't see. And two, I'm making sure there's no fruit flies in drink. Well, 'cause I had to get out of mine I made a the homemade cranberry simple syrup and then I left it out to cool and it made this film on top of it. no, it's So when I poured it in, it that was what I just put in that nasty cider was just like it was just like a I don't know, it was almost like gel which is weird. Yeah. I don't know. Congealed. I'm just making sure it's no bugs. And if it was more protein protein. Protein, hit your macros. Hit your macros, my friends. so the team set up equipment and hope to prove Keith's story. And Keith didn't even want his story like proven. He didn't want to say yes, it's haunted. He just wanted other people to experience what he'd been experiencing. To be like, I'm not crazy. Yes. Yeah. Exactly. Valid. the main area that they wanted to capture were E VPs. They set up recorders and cameras. so that's electronic voice phenomenon, for those who don't know. They set up recorders and cameras around the house and ended up catch capturing. Four hundred and twenty-seven different EVPs, most of which had not been publicly released. Twenty-eight of the EVPs were direct responses to questions they had asked to the entity. One of the entities that they made contact with and even saw matched one of Keith's descriptions that he had previously had contact with, and this was the elderly woman. She is said to be the main poltergeist of the home. She is said to be a disheveled looking, hair hair scattered all over, clothes torn, older, confused-looking woman. Okay, live leave a girl alone. Right? That was sometimes your ghosty self might be a bit disheveled, so you maybe can't see yourself in a mirror. Look at me on a regular Thursday morning. Honestly. You gotta wake up. You don't want to see me. Yeah. her emotions are mixed with confusion, anger, or fear. Fear. And that tells me that maybe she died when she was in a confused state and that. It could be dementia or something. I know. That's like that's what the first thing I thought was like an elder lady who looks like that. It's probably she probably was little. I know I drank all my drinks, now I'm sad. You got to fungus right there. No, I'm good. Edmets. They also made contact with the spirit of a small child, and to them this was evidence that Keith's story was true. Keith was interviewed by Darkness radio host Dave Schrader, who remained skeptical of the story. And Keith brought home video brought him videos of instances happening around the house, things flying off the wall, and Keith going around showing where the poltergeist activity was taking place. Schrader had questioned why Keith remained so calm during his video recordings, but could not dispute that what he captured on video was happening paranormal activity. I think I hate right now because we're in such an AI world that nowadays anything could be made like you can run it through an AI detector, which are pretty solid. Yeah. More or less. But things I freaking my god. Here's the thing. Nope, I'm not going into the AI detector. No, we're not. We're not doing that. We're not doing it. Nope, nope, nope. Keith told the radio host that he tried everything from crucifixes that somehow ended up in his dryer to

prayers to holy water and everything to drive out the entities. he contacted previous tenants of the house asking if they had experiences. they told him it was a quote, living hell in the home, and they only lasted about five months. Okay. So this is something attached to the home or to the land. The land. The land, honey. Damn. Things continued to escalate escalate, Keith and his girlfriend were affected by the house daily. They began to suffer mentally from the daily dose of terror that they were experiencing. Keith decided that they needed to rid the spirits of the home and started researching exorcisms. Mm-hmm. He contacted a priest to come to the home and perform the ritual. This tells me that this may have not been a Catholic priest because we know that the Catholic Church has a pretty thorough process. yeah. They won't just show up out of nowhere. And you can you can Google ex I I know people who have said they were exorcists and I'm like But why? But why are y why do you Ed Warren called himself an exorcist. Well yeah. There's a a medium here who we've both seen who claims that she's an exorcist too. I don't know. I take issue with that, but then that contradicts what I think about heaven and hell and the church, if I think that an exorcist can only be b performed by a priest. Right. But the reason that I think that is because they are so extensively trained. Yeah. That they're First go to is mental health. Right. And that is something that we've talked about a bunch of times. And that is important because there are mental health crises. Put those on for a second. Look at what the world Look how the world looks. I kinda like it. Literal rose you actually look like Ariel. You're you're working it. You're working it, man. I look like Ariel? Yes. With glasses? Well, because of the red. It just adds to it. red hair. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, I didn't know Ariel wore glasses. My eyes need to adjust. I don't know how you've done it that long. No wonder you can't fucking read anything. Jesus Christ. Anything. How are you alive? I you kept those on for way too long. I kept them on for a long time. Kind of like that episode I went all the way through doing my southern accent. Mm hmm. It didn't go well, but it w I mean, but do we need to revisit my Saint Patrick's Day episode? Yes, we do. That's my favorite. Scottish accent. The whole time, you guys. The whole time. Anyways, so he contacted a priest. the priest came to the house and agreed to perform the exorcism, but warned Keith that these things don't usually resolve in one attempt. The priest performed the exorcism and like he said it didn't work. So he performed two more. Did nothing. Keith was still terrorized by these entities, spirits, demons, poltergeists, whatever you want to call them. they determined that this was a collection of spirits from a long dead settlement and questioned if anything could even be done. The hauntings became too much for Keith. His girlfriend had long left. She was like peace out. She's out, yeah. She's out, which Good for her. I agree. Like this is this is too much. She stayed for too long. This is too much. And it makes me wonder why he stayed for that long. Well, especially if they're just renting. Yeah. Yeah. But he began looking for a new tenant. He was up front with anybody who came to look and in around twenty sixteen, after about six weeks, he found someone to take over the lease. According to the next tenant, nothing changed and there's still a massive amount of paranormal activity in in the home. So at least it wasn't just him. Just him. Mm-hmm. Because we've heard that before too. yeah, where someone else moves in and then all of a sudden everything stops and they're like nothing happened. Yeah. However, Keith said that some of the entities followed him. He experiences hauntings after he moves and he feels like he is permanently traumatized by the experience. Well, no shit. He's written a book about his experience called The Bothell Hellhouse, Poltergeist of Washington State. Don Phillips, the paranormal investigator from the UK, created a documentary called Demons of Seattle Uncovered. Is that gonna be our next movie, night? Yeah. Demon Demons of Seattle Uncovered. I mean, I kinda wanna see it. I'm Googling it because I just want to look. So when I wrote this I was able to find a presentation from Keith that was happening on October seventeenth and eighteenth, which was last week. Yep. And he presented about his experience in the home. I can't find a ton of information about him in current day, but he does still go around talking about his experience and goes to like conventions and stuff in the Seattle area to say what he's gone through and still goes through. I did oddly enough find a sports illustrated article from February twenty twenty six featuring him Okay trying to equate the paranormal with the Seahawks and telling of Keith's story because they were in the Super Bowl. It was real weird. I read through it three times and I'm like, how does this I don't know how that crossover happens? Yeah, but it was like, this person's doing so good. It must be a paranormal thing like Keith. I don't know. in it he says that he now works downtown near Lumen Field and he says that he still tr struggles mentally with his experiences in the old Bothell house. He stated that he would like to go back and visit. However, the current tenants don't want visibles visitors, which is pretty understandable. Yeah, the pictures I I'm looking at the pictures. Are you looking at yeah, there's definitely I mean You can find put the picture of the Bible that pops up. And all of the cabinets wide open. Again, that could be staged, however. That could be staged, but there's doors off the hinges. There's there's some shit. There's some There was so much and it was by there was people who came in and said that it yes, this is happening. So I don't know. I mean, I believe him. If everyone else is I like I

believe I usually believe people who tell so extensively about their experiences, unless you're Ed and Lorraine Warren. But no, I still believe that they had experiences. I just don't like them as people. And I know they embellished the truth. I think what's wild is this house is very similar format to my house layout. it looks almost identical to like what my house looks like. Standard Washington. And your house was probably built around the same time. It was built like 2005. I think 2006 No. You bought it then, but when was it built? No, I bought it in twenty seventeen. Yeah, but this house was here before my house was. So it was probably built about 2005, 2004. I think it was 2006 when it was built. Okay. Yeah. I think. So it probably was because one thing I know about Washington, they use the same fucking builders for everything. For everything. And they do a terrible job. It is terrible. It's terrible. It is. Anyways. All right. Well, I want to watch the Episode with dildo baggins. I just wanna see. Yeah. Even though we'll watch it and then maybe we'll watch that documentary. We haven't done a documentary watch in a while. In a while, well, 'cause we realize that they take us so long. They really do, you guys. So it's not worth so long. We discussed if we do it again, we're gonna each watch it separately or we're gonna like take notes and then discuss it after because it's which I feel like is the better idea instead of talking through it because Otherwise it takes us so long, it's not worth it. Or we can watch it together and get our Taco Bell on and then take the next day or something discuss. Damn. Well that was I like that one. I mean, I don't like that of what it was, but we don't also know what it was. But it is insane to think how many things were there. And so many like physical interactions. And yeah, things which doesn't often happen. No. Lots of physical interactions that are terrifying and that he was targeted and yeah, that's a lot. Anyway. Well, happy Halloween. Sorry about the cider. Happy Halloween Eve. I mean, it's okay. You didn't do it. Eve Eve. Eve Eve. no, no, no. Yeah, Eve Eve. Eve Eve. It is Eve Eve. We're Thursday. This airs on Thursday. Yes.

I told you I was just popping down the stairs earlier and I just like BAM out and I'm like, ow. Yes. And my husband comes up and I'm sitting on the landing. He's what's wrong? I'm like, money. Yeah. We're getting old, man. I mean the fact that my back did this to me when I was just standing. I literally did not do anything. And all of a sudden, just like it was like an electric shock in my back,

and I was like, what the fuck? And then I was like, I can't fucking walk. I can't move. And then I've been doing all stretches on the ground. I I don't have time for this shit. I have things to do.

Anyways, because I make jello shots for all the adults for the those of you. And I don't know how to measure, so well, we just make them very strong. When I say we, I mean Meg. That first year everyone's like, Holy shit I'm like, I thought it was half and half. It is half and half. If you like them strong. Which I do. We do. We'll do some for the everyone that are now strong and then some for us that are. No, screw that. It's Halloween. Yeah, fuck everyone. You're getting fucked up. It's Halloween. Someone asked me. Someone asked me to go to an event that on November first. And I said, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know how to measure for jello shots, and it depends on how I feel. I will say one of my friends that she was like, What are you doing on November first? Let's hang out. And I was like Absolutely. I'm sorry, Saturday is our Halloween and that on it's Saturday this year and I don't plan on being sober and I don't know. We're gonna left for school. So we gotta discuss the the the 'cause I live on the other side of the neighborhood. So usually it ends here. Yeah, it always ends here. It always ends here. What do you mean? I you we know my role. I don't go out. She doesn't go out. I start at my house. I end here. My husband takes whoever wants to go home home. Uh-huh. And then we stay here. And then my daughter just sprung on me that all her friends are coming over. So I it's fine. I love that. It's fine. And I will be here with my best friend Jenna and her husband are spending the night and I forgot they were spending night. Yeah, and the men will take the kids out trick or treating and she and I will be serving jello shots to everybody else and we'll be here drinking. So my favorite years are the years when I'm here by myself and I just sit on the couch watching Adam's family and as yes and I I wanna say as the doorbell rings, I never have time to sit down half the time. It's just fucking chaos. But throwing jello shock. I will go from my house to your house. Usually by then I have to pee. Yeah, which obviously. And then I'm done. Yeah. I don't know what I'm gonna wear. I think I'm gonna wear this. I'm yeah, which you should. I'm wearing my skeleton dress that I made. I'm gonna wear my skeleton ones. Yeah. I made it guys.

Because and it's a course that it holding it holds in my back. That's true. So I don't have to wear back brace. So, you know, really sucks me in there. I gotta post pictures of the sandworm I painted. By the way, this is not political. So anybody who is politically charged and is offended by a political conversation, go away. you can stop listening, respectfully. there is a movement going on with some witches on the internet. Where for Is it the cone of power? It's close, but similar. for this last full moon. Uh-huh. I should have texted you this and I didn't. they were telling everyone to charge a bottle of champagne under the moon. damn. With okay. Thoughts of I'm doing it Halloween night because it's the same energy. Well, no, but the energy right now is still you could just do it tonight. Okay. You perfect closer to the floor. I got one, you could still do it. I got one. Well, I didn't do champagne because I didn't have any. Mm-hmm. So I did a bottle bottle of fuck you vodka. Hell. And so you're charging under this full moon and then on the halo on Halloween there is going to be a spell for that we need to drink it? Well, we have to drink it and cheers, and then the spell is for something some a wish that everybody has to come true. Shit, don't That's all I'm gonna say. What? Do we have to drink the whole bottle? no. Well, it just means that every time we drink this fuck you vodka, it's a fuck you to the person. Put it in the jello shots. No, I'm not wasting my fuck you vodka. Well then I'm gonna put my vodka in the jello shots. Well, I well. Okay, I have all the vodka. The magic to everybody. Okay, I'm gonna put out my vodka I just bought today, because I have it under today. I'll I'll put my intentions in and I'll put it in my windows. Yeah, it was on the twenty sixth at 12 a.m. But the energy is still there. Yeah. They said you could do it a few days after, too. So we're gonna go. It's all about intention. But then when you drink it, the intention is for the wish that everybody has, if you're mentally sane, to come true. And we all should know what that is. And that's all I'm going to elaborate on. Good lord. Correct? I agree. Anyways, happy Halloween. So we're gonna be drinking fuck you vodka. I'm not mad. Moscow mules, I feel that. Maybe with my cranberry syrup because that's like a little hollow mouth. You said your horse mouth you're talking to me. You're a horror when you're talking to me. my god. I know.
