00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.600
I think I was on your show in twenty twenty two.
12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.920
I think it's been that long. I've been busy, so yeah.
13
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.359
Yeah, it's been it's been quite some time. I've been
14
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.439
wanting to catch up because I've been following and seeing
15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.600
you've been doing some really cool things.
16
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.920
Yeah. I'm hard to catch sometimes I just ask my wife.
17
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:04.040
Yeah exactly.
18
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:09.359
But anyway, for those people that aren't familiar with you,
19
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.480
tell us who you are, what you're all about, and
20
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.519
all the great stuff you've got going on there.
21
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:14.079
Yeah.
22
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.159
Absolutely, So been really busy over the last couple of years.
23
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.680
But so, my name is Miranda and I'm better known
24
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.560
as the Ghost Biker. I travel around the country on
25
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.599
my motorcycle to different haunted and historic locations and I
26
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.599
highlight them on my web series Ghost Biker Explorations. We
27
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.760
just finished the sixth season last year and back in October,
28
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.840
and so we're working on the seventh season this year,
29
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.079
and so we highlight a lot of the locations that
30
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.760
are maybe a little bit lesser known, maybe more you know,
31
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.799
I always tell people that basically, if you close your
32
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.480
eyes and touch a map, you're not going to touch
33
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.359
anywhere that doesn't have an amazing story. It maybe reason
34
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.400
reach only known, but you know it, there is always
35
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.519
a story somewhere in that area that you're gonna touch.
36
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.039
And so so I use my show to kind of
37
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.319
promote the travel and tourism and stuff of some of
38
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:19.000
these smaller, lesser known, more localized locations. Of course, travel
39
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.520
all over the country, and you know, I'm a I'm
40
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:28.039
a solo investigator, and so I highlight those shows or
41
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.599
those locations on my show, and then I have a
42
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.319
weekly live stream where we go in and we talk
43
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.800
about the places that we highlight, and then also talk
44
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.280
to different authors and podcasters and folks like you that
45
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.520
that do things in the in the paranormal community, and
46
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.479
just time really flies. Three years ago I formed a
47
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.680
company with my best friend and business partner, doctor Christy Sumner,
48
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:01.879
from Soul Sisters Paranormal. We for the company History Highways
49
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.719
and Hunt and opened up a true crime museum and
50
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.919
paranormal research center in the historic Scott County Jail in Huntsville, Tennessee.
51
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:16.439
So between that and my series, been extremely busy with
52
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.960
working with historic preservation and restoration.
53
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.120
Sounds like you've been about as busy as I have.
54
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.280
I love it. So I think the last time we
55
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.960
talked to you had ideas for all that, but I'm
56
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.120
glad to see that it's come to fruition for you.
57
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.120
Yes, we opened in September twenty twenty one, and so
58
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.759
we've had right around one hundred and fifty paranormal teams
59
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.599
that have come in. And so you know, during the
60
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.439
day we're open with our true crime museum for general
61
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.759
daytime tours, and then in the evenings we're open for
62
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.319
the after dark tours. Pretty much every evening and every
63
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.800
day but Tuesday and Wednesday. And we just recently opened
64
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.919
up an escape room there in the jail where you
65
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.199
can escape from one of one of our cell blocks,
66
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:04.759
and then we're constantly changing our after dark flashlight tour
67
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.000
that kind of keep things fresh. We highlight different true
68
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.120
crime stories, we highlight the history, and then we share
69
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:16.160
different video, photo and audio evidence as you go throughout
70
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.519
the jail of different things that have been captured there,
71
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.639
and all of that' steering our after dark and flashlight tours.
72
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.480
Back in May of last year, we expanded the business
73
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.279
and partnered with the Village of Historic Rugby, Inc. And
74
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.560
we are in charge of all of their after dark
75
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.319
tours there at the village, and so that division of
76
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.199
our company is called Historic Rugby after Dark. So we're
77
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.399
trying to create more of a destination if you will
78
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.319
here in rural East Tennessee. We're in the Scott County
79
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.319
and Morgan County area. That way, if you're coming through,
80
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.319
you can actually investigate the jail and investigate the Village
81
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.040
of Historic Rugby because they're only about twenty miles apart.
82
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.240
So we're trying to kind of create rather than just
83
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.160
a pass through, something that you can do all weekend
84
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.439
long if you're in town.
85
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.600
And I love that you've included Rugby and there that
86
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.040
used to be one of my favorite places to visit
87
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.439
when I lived in East Tennessee. Before the show, we
88
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.000
were talking about the Harrald Road Cafe, which I loved
89
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.040
to Dynad and you told me that it burned down
90
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.839
in my absence. But they're building it back, so that's good.
91
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.839
And Rugby a lot of people don't know much about
92
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.839
it or that it even exists, but it was a
93
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.920
I think the man's name was Thomas Hughes that had
94
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.120
a utopian vision and brought people over from England and
95
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.240
sort of developed that area and then it didn't quite
96
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.399
work out the way they wanted it, to build into disrepair,
97
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.839
and I remember seeing some of those places when I
98
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.879
was a kid. They're basically falling in. Every building over
99
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.399
there is haunted, I think, or affordedly to be, and
100
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.040
the library and there's I think there was a bed
101
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.399
and breakfast or something over there. It's been twenty years
102
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.600
since I've been in Tennessee, so tell us, tell us
103
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:56.800
what's going on in Rugby now.
104
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.199
Yeah.
105
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.439
So Rugby was really set up for the and they
106
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:07.000
just hadn't you know, they hadn't really embraced their paranormal history,
107
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.959
because like you said, I mean pretty much every building
108
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.800
there in the village has some type of activity. And
109
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.480
so Rugby was founded by Thomas Hughes back in eighteen
110
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.480
eighty and he was of course an author and a
111
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.680
member of Parliament, and he was again a very very
112
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.720
busy person, but he was he basically took on the
113
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.399
plot of the Second and Third Sons of England, and
114
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.920
so he wanted to create a place where they could
115
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.519
come to and they could actually because over in England
116
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.319
they didn't really have a job. They kind of just
117
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.360
got an allowance and didn't really you know, they weren't
118
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.480
really trained. Because basically it's kind of like you know,
119
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.480
the air and the spare over in England, and they
120
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.759
would have been the second third Sons, they would have
121
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.920
been the Spaars. And so he wanted to create this
122
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:05.120
second British coming, the second British colony, and so it
123
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.199
eighteen October fifth of eighteen eighty the doors opened there
124
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.199
in Rugby and quite a few families came over. But
125
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.560
they had a lot of ups and downs during the
126
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:23.879
ten years that Rugby was really a colony. They had
127
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.560
an outbreak of typhoid fever, they had very very harsh
128
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.319
winters that they weren't used to over here on the
129
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:37.360
Cumberland Plateau. They weren't really equipped for the farming and
130
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.120
working the land like you know, he would have hoped.
131
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.399
But you know, they had a series of ups and downs,
132
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.759
and by about eighteen ninety a lot of the original
133
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.680
colonists had already left and moved on to other places,
134
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.959
and so Rugby never really became a ghost town, but
135
00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:59.720
there was a point in time where there were just
136
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.480
a few folks that were living in the area and
137
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.360
kind of keeping it up and taking care of it.
138
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.560
And so it wasn't until Brian Stagg came along in
139
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.759
nineteen sixty six, and he was a sixteen year old
140
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.639
kid at the time, became fascinated with Rugby, wrote a
141
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.439
book about it, and got a group together and formed
142
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:26.319
Historic Rugby, Inc. And so Rugby got on the National
143
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.480
Historic Registry in the early nineteen seventies and they went
144
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.440
to work to restoring and rebuilding some of these structures
145
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.399
that were there.
146
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.919
At its heyday.
147
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.799
There was right around five to six hundred people that
148
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:47.639
lived there during the eighteen eighties, and so there are
149
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.480
seventeen of the original structures that are still there today
150
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.080
and there's probably I believe last count that I heard
151
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:58.000
it is a living village and so at last count
152
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.279
I think there's right around fifty to sixty people that
153
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:08.080
live in Rugby today, and so they do have some
154
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.159
of them live in a few of the original houses.
155
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.200
Some of them live over in the Beacon Hill subdivision,
156
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.679
which basically if you wanted to live in Rugby you
157
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.759
could buy land, but you had to build a house
158
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:27.279
in that same eighteen eighties Victorian structure, and so some
159
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.960
of the houses they are a little bit a little
160
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.279
bit newer, but they look like they're from back in
161
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:40.279
the late eighteen hundreds, and so it's amazing little area.
162
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.120
The folks there that work for Historic Rugby Inc. Do
163
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.360
a great job during the day tours and throughout the
164
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:54.320
year with different events to keep Rugby going. And we
165
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.519
got to you know, I grew up twenty miles from
166
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:01.799
there over here in Scott count and so I took
167
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:06.120
piano lessons there from Brian Stagg's mom, and I can
168
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.840
remember as a child playing piano there in the house
169
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.600
that she lived in, which was known as Roslin And
170
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.759
personally it's a private residence, but personally I think that's
171
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.799
one of the most haunted houses there in the area.
172
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.519
And I can remember sitting there playing piano and hearing
173
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.720
what sounded like an old horse drawn carriage coming up
174
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.519
to the house. And I remember one time in particular,
175
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.799
stopping thinking that there was some people that were getting
176
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.919
ready to come into the house, and she looked over
177
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.360
at me, smacked my hand and said, keep playing.
178
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.440
It happens. And you know, it was one of those.
179
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.279
Yeah, it was one of those where I was like, hmm,
180
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.519
there's nobody out there, and she just, you know, she's
181
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.200
like after the fact, you know, she said, you know,
182
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.000
there was there was no one out there. I was
183
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.440
fully expecting someone to come and knock on the door.
184
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:09.840
But that's a very common thing that a lot of
185
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:14.559
people have talked about that I've found out after, you know,
186
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:18.559
working over there now that other people have experienced that
187
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.960
at that location as well as some of the others.
188
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.759
But we reached out to Rugby and it was about
189
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:29.080
a six month in the making partnership. We reached out
190
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.960
to them, told them what we do at the jail
191
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:36.639
and had a plan together as far as opening the
192
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:41.600
some lantern tours, guided ghost hunts and paranormal investigations, and
193
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.039
they came over, they toured the jail, saw what we
194
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.039
were doing with that, and loved the idea. And so
195
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.200
we now run two different lantern tours there, one of
196
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.000
the village and one of the north end and the cemetery,
197
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.360
and we do three hour guided ghost hunts and then
198
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:02.639
we have six and a half our private paranormal investigations
199
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.039
and folks if they want to extend that into a
200
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.360
full overnight, they can actually stay there at the village
201
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.240
in some of the different lodging options that they have
202
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:16.399
after they do their investigations. So it's really been set
203
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.759
up for that, and it's really one of those things
204
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.000
because Rugby gets a split of the ticket sales on that,
205
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:30.879
and it's just just something really cool to add to
206
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.320
their portfolio of what they offer and keeping that history
207
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.639
alive and working with the preservation of the village itself.
208
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.080
Yeah, and I love that that, you know, it's keeping
209
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.240
history alive and thriving in that community. They're bringing tourism
210
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:51.279
or whatever what have you, dollars in there. That's good.
211
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.639
Like I said, at one time it just was almost
212
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.159
a ghost town and it's good to see it thriving again.
213
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.960
And I remember that area that you're talking about where
214
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.919
they were building new how but in Victorian style. That
215
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.759
was I think back in the nineties or something when
216
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.000
that started, if I recalled.
217
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.000
It was, yes, yes, And.
218
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.679
I knew some people that bought property over there. Don't
219
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.000
know whatever became of them, But I thought that was
220
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.360
a great idea because that happens a lot here, Like
221
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.399
where I am in New England. You got these beautiful
222
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.480
old houses and then they'll tear them down and make
223
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.200
some kind of new, cookie cutter looking something, and it
224
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.879
just didn't have any soul or any character like those Victorians.
225
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.120
I lived in one hundred and twenty five year old house,
226
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:32.600
so I get it.
227
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.480
Yeah, And that's the thing about that. You know, the
228
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.399
main road used to run through Rugby, but they had
229
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.080
so many issues with like the big rigs and eighteen
230
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.600
wheelers and stuff that was just flying through the village.
231
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:53.039
So back, you know, probably time kind of gets away
232
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.559
from me. But I think I think at least between
233
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.639
ten to fifteen years ago, they built a bypass around
234
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:05.159
Ruggy be So for investigation purposes. It's great because it's
235
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.559
a dark sky community and it's it's very quiet at night.
236
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.080
But the downside to that is you know during the
237
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.799
day people bypass it. You have to know it's there
238
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.559
to and have the intention to go back.
239
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.240
Yeah, and now that's happened since I was there, But
240
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.360
I remember I think was it Highway twenty seven that
241
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:25.360
goes through there.
242
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:30.159
Fifty two twenty seven. Yeah, twenty seven is about seven
243
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.840
miles from there and goes on to fifty two, and
244
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:35.360
fifty two would have been what went straight through it.
245
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.600
Yeah, Okay, I just I remember going through there. My
246
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.399
dad was from Jamestown and we lived in West Knoxville
247
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.759
and we would go back to visit family that he
248
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.919
had over there, and we would always go through to Rugby.
249
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.960
So I've driven that way a few times myself, but
250
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.279
again I haven't been over there in at least twenty
251
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.320
something years. I'm sure it's changed a lot.
252
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.440
Yeah, And you know, it's a beautiful it's a beautiful
253
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:02.519
motorcycle ride that whole entire area. And we do different
254
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:08.679
motorcycle rides and stuff with Ghost Biker here and then
255
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.279
also with the Jail and we'll go One of our
256
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.440
main routes is going there through Rugby and stopping there
257
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.399
at R M. Brooks General Store, Brooks Store.
258
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.000
I used to have to stop there.
259
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:21.000
Yeah.
260
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.679
In fact, we've actually got a motorcycle ride that we're
261
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:29.919
doing with the jail in two weeks that's going to
262
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.440
have a stop there for lunch there at R. M.
263
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:36.159
Brooks General Store and R. M. Brooks is partnering with
264
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:41.559
us and doing a motorcycle appreciation day. So anytime that
265
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.399
we can partner with some of these small villages, especially
266
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.159
if or excuse me, small businesses, especially if they have
267
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.519
a historic lean to it like R. M. Brooks does,
268
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.039
we always like coming up with some interesting and cool
269
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:02.039
ideas to include those locations and introduce, you know, people
270
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:05.240
who maybe have either never heard of that spot or
271
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.879
introduced them to something a little bit different if they
272
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.919
if they have now, and.
273
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.960
That would be a good place for motorcycle ride. I
274
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:14.519
never thought about that back, but I wrote a hardly.
275
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:16.639
I'd always go up to the Smokey suff. It didn't
276
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.759
even occur to me to go over that direction.
277
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.799
M h yeah, because Big South Fork is right there. Basically,
278
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.399
we're we're located at at the historic Scott County Jail.
279
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:31.000
You can't go north, southeast or west without having an
280
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:39.039
amazing motorcycle road with beautiful views, history, just great roads.
281
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:44.360
It's you know, we've we've started this year, we're going
282
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:50.240
to be doing at least one motorcycle ride a month,
283
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.320
if not more. We usually do a couple a year,
284
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.440
but we're really heavy and up on it this summer,
285
00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.519
and we're we're partnering with some different businesses all around
286
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.319
us and different museums that are that are all around
287
00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:10.799
and starting in different points. So we've got about six
288
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:11.599
different routes.
289
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.599
Yeah, like a poker run and neat stop as a
290
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.960
haunted location or something that would be it is.
291
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.640
Yeah, that's that's exactly how we're we're doing it. And
292
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.119
we've actually got you know, the uh, the tours and
293
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.839
stuff that talks about some of the towns and different
294
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.480
areas that we go through that you know, it may
295
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.279
just look like a little road sign or a little
296
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.079
blip on a map as you're passing through, but some
297
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.960
of these areas that don't really have a lot in it.
298
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.200
Back at the early nineteen hundreds, some of those areas
299
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:50.640
were sprawling towns that had mining disasters and train wrecks
300
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:55.559
and and all kinds of interesting stories that you if
301
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:59.799
you're not from the area, you wouldn't really know that
302
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.920
that was what went on in that spot because it's
303
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.519
just basically in the blink of an eye you're passing
304
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.359
through that area. So that's what That's what I like
305
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.799
to do with Ghost Biker Explorations, with the show and
306
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:17.079
with the rides and stuff, is get the word out
307
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.839
about some of these places that people maybe haven't really
308
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:20.759
thought about before.
309
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.960
Yeah, and that's that's great. You're keeping all that alive.
310
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.400
And like you said, especially in the South, every little
311
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.359
community has got a crybaby bridge or a place where
312
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.880
a lady in white walks after dark, or vanishing hitchhiker
313
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.559
something that I love those little community things like that,
314
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:41.680
and to them it's just normal. They know the legend.
315
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.880
But outside of there, Vivin in the next community over
316
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.759
may not even know about it, or not know.
317
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:51.039
As much exactly exactly. We come across that a lot.
318
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:53.839
Yeah, what I wanted to ask you about I made
319
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.759
a video about it years ago, The Devil of Scott County.
320
00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.000
Have you ever heard that story?
321
00:18:59.559 --> 00:18:59.839
I have.
322
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.759
We actually have a it's almost like a life size
323
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.599
picture from nineteen twenty one of the Scott County Devil
324
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.839
there in the historic Scott County Jail, and that is
325
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.200
probably one of our most asked about exhibits because it's
326
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:24.119
interesting because the picture, it's got several gentlemen standing there
327
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:30.559
with this. You know, they describe it as a giant demon.
328
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.640
Of course, they say it's six foot four, which you
329
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.079
know today is obviously not as giant as it would
330
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.440
have been back then. But they describe it as a
331
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.559
six foot four giant with oversized hands, big wings, oversized
332
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.920
teeth and I forget how much it weighed, but it
333
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.799
was extremely heavy. And so here's this picture, this black
334
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.799
and white picture from the Hellenwood Depot and where they
335
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:05.440
would were, I guess the devil It's set in there
336
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.839
from the early twenties up until the depot was torn
337
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:14.279
down in the sixties, I believe early sixties, and so
338
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.440
I don't know where it's at today. Different stories, different speculation,
339
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:27.000
but it was everybody that's come through the town has
340
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.640
heard of the Scott County Devil or the helen Wood Devil.
341
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.359
Yeah, like I said, I made a video about it.
342
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.160
Is this fascinating? And now I heard a story in
343
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.960
connection with that. Somebody asked me, how could people believe this,
344
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.480
but you got to remember, as the nineteen twenties, a
345
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.799
lot of those hill people over there were very superstitious.
346
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:54.400
And I've heard a story about in Oneida, just nearby there,
347
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.799
when the first movie theater opened to the crowd gathered
348
00:20:57.799 --> 00:21:01.400
in there, the curtains parted and the scene was an
349
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.079
oncoming train and people got up and ran out of
350
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:06.400
the theater because they thought the train was going to
351
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.680
get And I don't know if that's true or not,
352
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.039
and people in o Naida deny that, but I've heard
353
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:13.119
it told is the truth.
354
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.079
I've you know, I've heard that. Actually I don't know
355
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:21.160
if that's true or not, but I do know. On
356
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.720
the UH for the Scott County Devil, it was said
357
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.759
that Cruz Sexton, the guy who found it, that he
358
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.119
actually charged people a quarter when they get off the
359
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:38.000
train to see it. And apparently I made pretty good
360
00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:41.039
money on it, which you got to think.
361
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.200
Money that was probably a day's wages or something.
362
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:46.160
Maybe yeah, yeah.
363
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.319
Maybe not a day's wages, but a good chunk of
364
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.480
a day. I think my dad talking about somebody that
365
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.720
had a saw mill or something over there, and he
366
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.440
was paying people a dollar a day that saw mills
367
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:01.400
hard work. So imagine up a quarter to see something
368
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:03.000
like that, and it was it was a lot of money.
369
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.079
It wouldn't have been it would have been an extravagance,
370
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:09.000
is what I'm trying to say. So based on the
371
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:12.359
picture there, it was really something. But supposedly it disappeared.
372
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:14.559
They don't know exactly what happened to it. It was
373
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.759
think on the way too, or maybe was displayed at
374
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.960
the Chicago World's Fair and then they kind of lost
375
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:20.640
track of it.
376
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.079
That's that's what I've heard. I know that I know
377
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.480
it made some appearances at some different fairs in Kentucky
378
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:35.119
and some different carnivals, and then I had heard I've
379
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:37.200
heard two different things. I've heard that it was on
380
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.039
the way to the Chicago World's Fair, and then I
381
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.359
had heard it had been displayed at it. So I'm
382
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:46.880
not one hundred percent sure. I do know that the
383
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:53.079
nephew of the guy who found it in his cave
384
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.480
on his property came into the jail there, and he
385
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.599
was actually one that put on loan to us the
386
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.440
big picture, and then of course we found several I
387
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:08.799
think we found three different newspaper articles from nineteen twenty
388
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:12.279
one that was talking about this horned beast that he
389
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:18.240
had found, and his nephew had said that, you know,
390
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.880
whether he had made it there in that cave or
391
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:28.119
whether he had found it, he did say that he
392
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:32.599
did spend some time over in Asia and you know,
393
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.720
they were known for their statue making abilities and stuff,
394
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:40.599
and said that he had he had become enamored with
395
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:46.279
their style of statue building. And so, either way, whether
396
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:50.559
it was an elaborate hoax or whether it was something
397
00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:53.480
that he had actually found, it's pretty incredible for that
398
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:58.759
time period to have found something like that and then
399
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.799
to do what he did with charging for it, and
400
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:05.240
for it to essentially become not just a local legend,
401
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.759
but somewhere something that you know, folks all over East
402
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:13.039
Tennessee and Middle Tennessee had heard of this and still
403
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.640
talk about it today, which I think is pretty fascinating.
404
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.359
Yeah, if I recalled when they expanded to the rail
405
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:22.680
line there into L and N then it brought a
406
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.880
lot more people through from other areas and they would
407
00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:27.160
all get off there to see this devil that they'd
408
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.640
heard about from people like from Florida and places like that.
409
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.480
Even so, yeah, yeah.
410
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.559
That's just amazing I've heard also that it's rumored to
411
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.279
be in a private museum, like a home museum somewhere
412
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:43.519
in the north, But I don't know. I hope it
413
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:45.759
turns up some days. I'd like to see it, or
414
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.160
at least a life size recreation of it. Ice what
415
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.839
had done that?
416
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:53.240
Yeah, I am too, you know. And that's the thing,
417
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:56.440
because we have heard that, We've heard people. We've had
418
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.720
people that come into the museum that will ask us
419
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:04.200
about and then of course we've had people who go
420
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:08.599
up and they actually see the poster and the newspaper
421
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.119
articles that we have on the second floor, and then
422
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:13.160
of course they come down and they want to talk
423
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:16.880
a little bit more. But I've heard that it's in
424
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:21.440
a somebody's private museum. But whoever has it, I don't
425
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:28.880
think it's talking because we've not we've not been able
426
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:33.960
to come across and get any valid confirmation as to
427
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.680
where it would be.
428
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.240
But I can find that they'd make a fortune if
429
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:38.880
they could get a quarter to see it back in
430
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.640
nineteen twenties. They could charge twenty five bucks today if
431
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:42.799
people to come in and look at it.
432
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.880
Yeah, because from the description there in the twenties, it's
433
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.319
like either like five or six hundred pounds. I mean,
434
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.160
it's an incredible statue.
435
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:58.720
Amazing Now that little town helen Would. I've heard a
436
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.160
story about how that town was named. I don't know
437
00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.599
if it's turned on but there was some kind of
438
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:05.640
explosion there in the woods caught on fire and it
439
00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:08.200
was literally Hell in the Woods, and then they shortened
440
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:09.880
that to helen Wood. Is that true or do you
441
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:12.440
know anything about that or have you ever heard that?
442
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.759
That's what we've always heard, and that's what I always
443
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.839
tell when I'm talking about helen Wood. You know, a
444
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.039
lot of the areas there in Scott County. You know,
445
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.400
I have several friends from the West Virginia area, and
446
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.359
you know, most of them when they come down, they
447
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:35.319
talk about, you know, Scott County right there being a
448
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:37.599
lot like West Virginia. You know, there was a lot
449
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:40.519
of coal mines, and then of course they're right around
450
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:43.920
nineteen hundred, there was a huge influx of people that
451
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.279
came into Scott County for the coal and timber boom,
452
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:50.359
and then also in the south end of the county
453
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:56.200
the claymaking boom with the bricks and so helen Wood itself,
454
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:02.400
they had several mining designs masters, and so I had
455
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.400
heard that it was a mining disaster, a dynamite explosion
456
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:09.319
that caused that fire there in the woods, and that
457
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:14.599
was how it got its name because it pretty much
458
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:19.559
devastated the community. It was also a pretty lawless community.
459
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:23.640
A lot of you know, gun battles and different things
460
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:27.480
that went on at some of the different taverns and
461
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.680
some of the stuff there in the area amongst the
462
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:34.079
coal miners. So that that's what I've always heard. And
463
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.680
in several of the old Scott County books where they
464
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.480
write about the history, they also talk about that as well,
465
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:46.559
So that's kind of what I lean to. I mean,
466
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:47.839
you know, I guess.
467
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.279
And it was a rough and tumble place from the
468
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:53.519
accounts I've read and things. And at one time, I
469
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.000
think it was around the time of the Civil War,
470
00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:59.720
course that Scott County tried to secede from the State
471
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.559
of Sea and become the free independent State of Scott.
472
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:05.359
So they didn't mess around.
473
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:11.599
They didn't know. There was a unanimous vote to basically
474
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.880
whenever Tennessee seceded from the Union, we seceeded from Tennessee.
475
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:19.680
And we're only one of three other enclave states that
476
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:23.480
did that, and so we became the free and independent
477
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:28.160
State of Scott And because of this, this upset Nashville
478
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:33.000
and they sent like thirteen hundred troops over from Nashville,
479
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:39.319
causing two minor skirmishes, they weren't actually battles, but two skirmishes,
480
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.440
the Battle of Brimstone and the Battle of Huntsville Mountain.
481
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.960
And because of that, you know, we had a lot
482
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.319
of homes that were split. You know, a lot of
483
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:54.400
people they tended in the area to side a little
484
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:58.200
more with the Union because basically they just really didn't
485
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:02.440
want to be involved. And there were some slaves there
486
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:05.400
in Scott County, not too many, but there were a few,
487
00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:10.880
and so you had homes that were split. Now, the
488
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.720
majority of the fighting that took place was mostly gorilla warfare,
489
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:19.400
so it wasn't but you did have you know, when
490
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.599
you go to the cemeteries. I have some in my family,
491
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:29.400
my great my great uncles and my great great uncles.
492
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:34.279
On my dad's side, they had where you would have
493
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.079
brother fighting brother, one siding with the Union, one siding
494
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:42.160
with the Confederacy. But for the most part in the area,
495
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:45.480
it was gorilla warfare. And the fascinating thing about that
496
00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:50.519
was that even though it was never technically recognized by
497
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:54.160
the state, they actually didn't take it off the books
498
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:58.880
until nineteen eighty six when Laura Alexander did a Yeah
499
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:03.680
he did a great homecoming and they actually welcomed us
500
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.640
back into the state of Tennessee back in eighty six.
501
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.839
That's awesome. And the Tennessee State of Tennessee itself was
502
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:13.880
one time in the state of Franklin, so it's it's
503
00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:15.839
switched around a few times.
504
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:16.519
Yeah.
505
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:20.960
Such a fascinating history with Tennessee, with the Civil War
506
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:25.240
and then just leading on forward from that, some of
507
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:30.759
these little rural communities, like when you look at historic
508
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:35.200
Rugby or when you look at Scott County itself, just
509
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.440
an amazing history. I mean, we've we've created an entire
510
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:43.640
ghost walk just in Huntsville alone that we take that
511
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.960
you get to an hour of it is inside the jail.
512
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:50.599
Another forty five minutes to an hour is really just
513
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:54.599
walking around Huntsville talking about the history of the county
514
00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:59.920
and talking about, you know, some of the interesting history
515
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.240
haunts of the area that people might not really think about.
516
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:07.480
And then go on over into Rugby, which again is
517
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.759
about twenty minutes away or twenty miles away, and you
518
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.240
have inside of some of these homes. You know, Thomas
519
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.279
Hughes was really good friends with Charles Dickens, and so
520
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:25.759
there's like first edition drawings from Charles Dickens's books in
521
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:30.680
the Thomas Hughes house there, and first editions of Black
522
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:35.480
Beauty and Swiss Family Robinson's and you know, prayer books
523
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:40.359
from the sixteen hundreds that's in the library there inside Rugby.
524
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.440
And you just wouldn't think in some of these small
525
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:43.599
rural communities you.
526
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:47.480
Would community like that ural community in Tennessee, that you
527
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:50.279
did have something like that. But there you go. There's
528
00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:52.200
there's all kinds of surprises over.
529
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.599
There, absolutely just in that area itself. So that's what
530
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:58.880
we always tell people. It may be a little small,
531
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.759
a small foot print, but it packs a big paranormal
532
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.599
and historical punch in this area. And so we get
533
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:11.240
people that hear about it and stop in and they're
534
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:14.519
just amazed by what they find with the history. And
535
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.319
you find that a lot in some of these places.
536
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:20.000
If you just stop and listen or stop and look,
537
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:22.920
you can find some really interesting things in some of
538
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:24.279
these really small towns.
539
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.400
Yeah, I love it. And what are some of the
540
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:32.640
other legends and folklore over there that people might not
541
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.200
have heard of.
542
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:38.759
Well, the for the jail some of the things that
543
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:45.000
I'll start with that, since that's where our headquarters is
544
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:48.319
or our office is there in the jail. You know,
545
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.559
it's technically the third jail in Scott County. It was
546
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.720
built in nineteen oh four and in operation until two
547
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:59.759
thousand and eight. And it's you know, shaped like a
548
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.519
cat there in the middle of East Tennessee, a three
549
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:08.799
story sandstone castle. And we've had most of our earliest inmates.
550
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:13.079
They were either ridge runners or moonshiners. And we have
551
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:19.400
everything there at the jail from from a sheriff that
552
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:21.799
was killed there at the front door. It was an
553
00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:25.960
unsolved murder. He was killed ambush style when he was
554
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:28.839
bringing in a moonshiner and that is one of our
555
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:33.920
unsolved murders there in the county. There were some deathbed
556
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.079
confessionals and some people who thought they knew who it was,
557
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:43.599
but there was really no positive arrest or anything on that.
558
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:48.640
But that is Sheriff Richard Ellis, and he does hang
559
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.200
out there at the jail. We get both residual and
560
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:56.160
intelligent activity there from him on all three floors. And
561
00:33:56.200 --> 00:34:01.599
then we've had seven lynch mobs have come into the
562
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.319
jail and taken different inmates out. We do think there
563
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:07.960
were more, but those are the ones that we actually
564
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:13.440
have the newspaper articles death certificates on. And then we've
565
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.679
had fourteen officers who were killed in the line of duty,
566
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.039
which is a pretty high number for a small rural community.
567
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.400
And then of course each of those have their own
568
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:29.960
interesting stories that go with that. And then of course
569
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:36.280
there's just some really different and interesting local stories that
570
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.639
are associated there with the jail, you know, with being
571
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:43.480
open for that that period of time. There were a
572
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:48.639
lot of people that crossed through those doors. Now, Scott
573
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:54.079
County itself, one of the are kind of going on
574
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.960
out a little bit there in Huntsville and Scott County itself.
575
00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:02.719
Jesse James, he he did spend some time there in Huntsville.
576
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:08.119
He was there for eight months. Now, Huntsville looked a
577
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:11.719
lot different during that time than it does now. You know,
578
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:15.920
Huntsville is the county seat. It was labeled that because
579
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.320
it's a horse ride or a day's horse ride from
580
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.599
anywhere in the county, and so at that point in
581
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:27.159
time when Jesse James was there, it was a big
582
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:29.960
city at that point. There were several hotels, there were
583
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:36.800
blacksmith shops, lawyers offices, lots of general stores, big courthouse
584
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:41.199
of course the jail. But Jesse James, he did stay
585
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:45.639
there in Sharp's hotel, and he was there, didn't tell
586
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:49.079
anybody that it was him. He was. He went by
587
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.480
the name David Moore while he was there and ran
588
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:56.320
a feed and seed store with his brother. Now, by
589
00:35:56.360 --> 00:36:00.880
all accounts, he was an honest businessman while he was there. Now,
590
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:04.039
he was technically hiding out for some crimes that he
591
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:08.119
had committed when he was up in Kentucky, and he
592
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.199
confessed to Junior Sharp, who was the son of the
593
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:16.880
motel owner. But he was the only one that actually
594
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:21.000
knew that that was Jesse James. And so after about
595
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.480
eight months, all of a sudden, he and his brother
596
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.719
just up and disappears. That's when they went on out west.
597
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.639
They did go through Fenters County, because there's some stories
598
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:37.519
and accounts of them there, but basically he just headed
599
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.480
on out west, and of course you know, the rest
600
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:42.920
is history, because that was when he headed on out
601
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:47.880
to Missouri. But we do have the full article of
602
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.559
that in the jail that kind of talks about some
603
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:54.119
of the accounts of people who had encountered him, and
604
00:36:54.199 --> 00:37:00.880
the story that Junior Sharp shared about knowing with Jesse
605
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:07.880
James when when he was there. We've had we had
606
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:10.840
one of our sheriffs. You know, we always say when
607
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:15.280
it comes to to the jail or to huntsfullo itself,
608
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:20.360
that the jail was such a big it was a
609
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:25.360
big important building to our to our community there, and
610
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:29.000
that most people had somebody that served in some capacity.
611
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:34.599
They either served as a sheriff or served as the
612
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.360
sheriff's wife who was the cook. So they had somebody
613
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.320
that served in the capacity of being on the law
614
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:44.039
side of things, maybe even a deputy, or they had
615
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:47.400
family who served time in there. And there was a
616
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:52.400
couple instances where we had someone who served as both
617
00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:58.239
sheriff and served as inmate. And that that particular person
618
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:02.480
was Marion Carson. He was he served as a deputy
619
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:04.840
most of his life out there, and then he was
620
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:09.320
elected as sheriff in nineteen seventy six. And as you're
621
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:14.960
going into the jail, there is there by the door
622
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:21.280
carved into the sidewalk is it says M. Carson nineteen
623
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:25.960
seventy six dash, and there's no end date. And the
624
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:30.800
reason there's no end date is he allegedly got involved
625
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:36.000
with the Escobar drug cartel, and so there was an
626
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:41.280
undercover FBI sting that took place there, not just in
627
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:47.559
Scott County, but in Roane County Anderson County, it was
628
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:52.760
all the surrounding areas, and so they ended up arresting
629
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.599
twelve different officials in the surrounding area that had gotten
630
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:04.639
involved with the Escobar drug cartel. And so, unfortunately Marion Carson,
631
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:11.000
he was arrested and he did he did pass in
632
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:14.239
federal prison. But from all accounts that we've heard from
633
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:18.639
folks that come in, it is a divisive conversation there,
634
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:22.800
and a lot of folks say that even if he
635
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.880
were if he were still alive today, he would he
636
00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:28.639
would probably still get elected because a lot of people
637
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.280
liked him that much. So we have a lot of
638
00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:35.960
stories like that associated with the jail and associated there
639
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:43.559
with Huntsville. There is a story about our courthouse of
640
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:52.079
one of the guy Doc Chambers. He was on trial
641
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:56.320
there back in nineteen forty two against he was one
642
00:39:56.320 --> 00:40:01.639
of our prominent physicians, and he had he was suing
643
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:06.159
suing one of his customers or one of his patients
644
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:11.239
for unpaid medical bills, and there was an altercation that
645
00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:15.719
broke out there during the court trial and Doc Chambers
646
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.519
just reached into his pocket and pulled out his gun
647
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:24.000
and shot the guy he was suing there on the stand.
648
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:28.159
And so because of this, there have been stories and
649
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:33.320
rumors there at the courthouse that the courthouse has you
650
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:36.519
can hear phantom gun shots and that you can see
651
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:44.960
shadow figures. There's also one of the older house homes
652
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:47.840
that's there. There is a woman lady in white that
653
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:53.000
is often heard crying and wailing there at the at
654
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:56.559
the stairwell that we talk about that. We also talked
655
00:40:56.559 --> 00:41:01.079
about the Vanderpool lots that are seen in one of
656
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:05.840
the cemeteries that is kind of a few miles down
657
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:11.400
from the square there. Not really sure what those lights are,
658
00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:18.159
but several people have seen them, including Senator Howard Baker,
659
00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:23.880
who is from Scott County, and he wrote a little
660
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.840
snippet in one of his books about the Vanderpool lights. So,
661
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:33.599
and of course the county itself is just full of
662
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:38.199
different stories as far as you know some of the
663
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:40.280
back roads and stuff, some of the things that you
664
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:43.280
may encounter if you're if you're driving on these back
665
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:47.079
roads at night. There's one that's one of like a
666
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:50.360
headless hitchhiker that can be seen on one of the
667
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:54.880
mountain roads that several people have swore just throughout the generations.
668
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:59.800
You know that they've encountered a lot of little areas
669
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:02.280
like that, and you know, I'm sure that's kind of
670
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:04.679
the same way with a lot of little small towns.
671
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.559
Yeah, I've heard similar stories like that from from Finst
672
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:13.679
County and Cumberland County and some places like that. But again,
673
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:17.480
I think every little community, every little place has those
674
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.159
kind of legends. It's fascinating to think about. I wanted
675
00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.400
to get back to the jail for a minute. Last
676
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.480
week on this show, I had my friend Michael Lachiana
677
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:30.880
on and he mentioned you. That was why I thought
678
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:32.679
to get back in touch with you and see if
679
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:35.880
you wanted to come on here. Now. Did he record
680
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:38.440
some e vps while he was there at the Scott
681
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:39.079
County Jail.
682
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:43.599
Uh No, I don't. I don't think he has been
683
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:45.800
to the jail yet. I think he's planning to come.
684
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:48.000
I don't.
685
00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:50.800
I don't know if I'm recording any there.
686
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:57.320
Yeah, I know that over Petross at the Russian Mountains, Yes, prison,
687
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.079
I think they've got the same thing that they do
688
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.440
over there at the prison. Now, that's that's just outside
689
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.280
of what Burg or Watburg. If you're from that area,
690
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:12.559
and I heard some good EVPs from there, that's frightening place.
691
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.480
Of course, that's that's very story. That's where James Rolay
692
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:18.760
was and been all kinds of murders and things inside
693
00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:21.280
the prison. So no doubt it's.
694
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:26.079
On it, no doubt about it. I have actually investigated
695
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:30.880
Brushy Mountain on six different occasions, and on one of
696
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:34.719
those occasions, I actually slept there in the solitary confinement
697
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:39.079
or the whole and that's the place I got some
698
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:44.519
of my best EVPs class A EVPs, very intelligent, as
699
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:48.679
well as some residual I slept for about three and
700
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:53.400
a half hours and got like a solid three minute
701
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:59.239
and fifteen second when I compiled it all together series
702
00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:04.039
of evs. And what's what's fascinating about Brushy Mountain is
703
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:08.559
that's where we would have sent our state or federal
704
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:14.559
prisoners from the jail so you know, be in a
705
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:18.280
county jail, you know you're you have typically shorter sentences.
706
00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:21.880
But the ones who were murderers or like I said,
707
00:44:21.960 --> 00:44:25.519
had committed a state or federal crime and they were sentenced,
708
00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:28.960
we would send them to Brushy Mountain or to Morgan
709
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:34.719
County Correctional Facility if they if they had the longer sentence.
710
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:40.280
So there's that connection there and brush he's right about
711
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:45.639
forty five minutes from the jail, and they have that
712
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:48.920
set up as a really great destination where you can
713
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:52.840
go and you can eat some great barbecue, get you
714
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:57.639
some some liquor. They've got a distillery there and on
715
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:02.360
the property itself, or spend the and do a paranormal investigation.
716
00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:04.960
And the tours they do are great too because they're
717
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:10.400
led by former prison guards or former inmates. And I
718
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:16.199
just I absolutely love that location. And Michael, he's such
719
00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:21.159
a good investigator and usually gets some amazing EVPs. So
720
00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.239
I can't wait for him to come and check out
721
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:26.079
check out the jail.
722
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:28.280
And yeah, I was thinking he had already been there.
723
00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:31.519
We talked to so many different locations, but yeah, and
724
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:35.280
I told him, I think it's him because he has
725
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:37.960
all this equipment. He started out like with a big, real,
726
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.880
real tape deck, and I think it's just him. I
727
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:43.519
think he's haunted. I think he could take a Fisher
728
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:47.199
Price kids consider recorder in there and get EVPs. But
729
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:50.079
he does. He has some of the most amazing that
730
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.679
I've ever heard. We played about a dozen on last
731
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:55.719
week's episode, and some of them are frightening. I mean
732
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:59.119
there's very distinct voices. You could hear accents, you can.
733
00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:01.079
There's one that sound like a little girl, and this
734
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:03.880
was in a place where there were absolutely no children.
735
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:08.639
And yeah, he just so I'll really be interested to
736
00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:11.639
see what he gets when he does come to the
737
00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:12.639
Scott County Jail.
738
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:13.960
Yeah.
739
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:16.760
I actually had the pleasure of getting to meet him
740
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:21.239
in person at Henry River Mill Village there in Hickory,
741
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:26.519
North Carolina, and.
742
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:27.199
That they used in the Hunger Games.
743
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:34.599
It is it is. Yeah, that that great location and
744
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:41.039
great great EVPs from that place, you know, that's that's
745
00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:45.760
probably I was speaking at an event and playing some
746
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:48.119
of the EVPs there. I think it was their Booze
747
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.079
and Bruis event that they had a few years back,
748
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:55.400
and I know it's not very far from where Michael
749
00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:58.880
lives or where he lived at one time at least,
750
00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:01.920
and so he came over and actually got to meet
751
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.400
him in person, and I just love chatting with him
752
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:09.639
because he's got some great stories and just just an
753
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:10.920
amazing investigator.
754
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:16.800
Yeah. Then I've been on with on Cisco Murdock's Journey
755
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:20.440
to the Gay Paranormal Portal podcast. I've been on with
756
00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:22.360
her when he's been a guest too. That's the first
757
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.679
place I met him several years ago, and he's just
758
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:28.800
fascinating and he's lived some of the same places I have.
759
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.320
He lived in Mountain City, Tennessee for a while, which
760
00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:33.960
is way up in the northeastern tip up there. A
761
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:36.679
lot of spooky stuff up there too. Yeah.
762
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:41.239
Yeah, Jonesborough and all that up in that the old
763
00:47:41.360 --> 00:47:44.079
part of East Tennessee there.
764
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:48.000
Yeah, that was a nice thing about Mountain City. You
765
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:51.159
were close to Boone, North Carolina, and from there it
766
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:53.559
wasn't too far on over to Brown Mountain. I've seen
767
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:57.000
the Brown Mountain Lights several times. Or you could go
768
00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:03.039
suit Damascus, Virginia, or down to Johnson City and the
769
00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:05.559
Tri Cities. A lot of haunted stuff down there. Etsu
770
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:09.840
that campus is supposed to be Haunted in Abingdon, Virginia,
771
00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:14.039
just down the road from Damascus there Martha Washington End
772
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:16.920
and then across the street from that Barter Theater. Both
773
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.079
those locations are just super active.
774
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:21.360
Yeah. Yeah, And.
775
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:26.559
I mean just that, I don't think there's a shortage
776
00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:31.480
of places here in East Tennessee or just in Tennessee
777
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:35.159
itself that that doesn't have have something going on.
778
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:39.440
So, out of the places that you have visited or investigated,
779
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:42.679
of what do you consider the most active or the
780
00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:45.159
one that was the scariest for you? The sleeping in
781
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.760
the prison that that sounds scary to me.
782
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:52.280
That that was pretty intense. Like I said, I think
783
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.559
I think on that one, I probably got the uh.
784
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.119
It's probably some of the best EVPs that I've ever
785
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:03.119
captured because what I did was so I'm typically a
786
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:07.559
solo investigator, but I will collab on some and I
787
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.840
like to keep it small when i'm investigating. That way
788
00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:14.360
I can account for, you know, just investigate with one
789
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:17.440
or two other people if I'm not investigating solo, just
790
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:20.039
so I can account for everything that's going on. But
791
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:25.039
on that particular night, it was part of a full
792
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:29.119
weekend investigation, and so the first day I was investigating.
793
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.519
For the first night, I was investigating by myself, and
794
00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:36.920
then the second night, the folks that run the paranormal
795
00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:39.559
there was doing something a little special and different, and
796
00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:44.519
they had invited back some of their friends that had
797
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:48.800
investigated early on, and so I was one of the
798
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:52.960
people they had invested they had invited back, and so
799
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:57.400
there was about about nine other people that were coming
800
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:01.239
back on that Saturday night. And so so I had
801
00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:05.800
investigated all night Friday night, and it was about eight
802
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:10.239
thirty that morning, and so I thought, I'm gonna I'm
803
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:12.800
gonna try something a little bit different from what I
804
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:17.320
typically do, and I put a recorder out as well
805
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:20.440
as some cameras, and I went over to the hole
806
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:22.800
to sleep. I just kind of felt drawn to sleep there,
807
00:50:22.840 --> 00:50:25.840
and part of that was because it was it was dark,
808
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:31.280
and so it was dark and cooler. But the hole
809
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:35.159
is just what it sounds like. It's basically a hole
810
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:40.599
there that there were were three different cells, and that's
811
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:42.960
where they would put if you had misbehaved, they would
812
00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.400
put you in there. And basically you had two buckets,
813
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:47.800
one to use the bathroom in and one for your food.
814
00:50:48.519 --> 00:50:53.199
And it said that basically it was so dark that
815
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:55.679
by the time you came out of there, most people
816
00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:58.800
they had a hard time seeing because they would be
817
00:50:58.840 --> 00:51:02.000
in there for like up to twenty eight days. And
818
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:06.679
so so I was I didn't even know if I'd
819
00:51:06.719 --> 00:51:10.880
be able to sleep, but I was so tired after investigating,
820
00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:12.320
and I thought, if I can just get just a
821
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:14.679
little bit of, you know, a few hours of sleep,
822
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:19.320
I'll be fine. And I actually went right off to sleep,
823
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.280
and I did wake up just a couple times. Nothing
824
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.519
touched me, nothing made a sound that I was able
825
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:32.000
to pinpoint that woke me up, at least in the moment.
826
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:35.320
But when I went back and watched my video and
827
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:40.679
audio evidence, there was somebody walking. And of course the
828
00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:44.679
only people on the property that morning was myself and
829
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:47.920
then the two ladies that run the paranormal there, and
830
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:52.519
they were actually asleep in the office, and so I
831
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:55.480
was in the hole. Was in a totally different building
832
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:57.440
than the main prison.
833
00:51:58.199 --> 00:51:58.679
And so.
834
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:03.920
You hear something walking in the hall or on the
835
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:08.360
stairs there, and it sounds like it comes up to
836
00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:13.440
my door, and in just this deep, garbled, gravelly voice,
837
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:18.679
you hear something say not not and as clear as
838
00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:24.079
can be, and then what I did was I put
839
00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:26.760
it together as a montage and I highlighted it in
840
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:33.960
season two of Ghost Biker Explorations. But basically, at one point,
841
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:37.199
you hear a conversation of two men. There were no
842
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:40.199
men on the property that morning. You hear a conversation
843
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:43.280
of two men. One sounds like they may be in
844
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:47.400
my cell. The other sounds like the cell beside me.
845
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:52.400
It's real muffled. And then you hear this deep voiced
846
00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:56.920
guy say help me. And then it was like a
847
00:52:56.960 --> 00:53:01.639
whisper that says help me, and it sounds clearly male
848
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:08.599
as well, and it sounded almost in distress. There's laughing
849
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:14.960
going on and cell door slamming, and then at one
850
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:19.480
point it sounds like I believe this was residual. And
851
00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:22.440
at this time this would have been I believe in
852
00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:27.239
two thousand and fifteen or sixteen. So Brushy was not open.
853
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:30.559
There was no power in the building, and it wasn't open.
854
00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:36.639
It didn't open until twenty nineteen for people to come
855
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:41.840
in and actually be able to take tours and the
856
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:45.639
museum and such. It wasn't open till then. So on
857
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:49.719
the upper level above the whole, that's where the laundry
858
00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:53.960
room is and so at one point in time you
859
00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:57.840
hear what sounds like a dryer door slam, and then
860
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:02.800
it sounds like it's running, which at you know, eight
861
00:54:02.920 --> 00:54:05.679
nine o'clock in the morning, that would have been when
862
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:09.400
laundry would have been going on. So I was getting
863
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:12.280
a lot of residual sounds, but you can hear that
864
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:16.840
unmistakable dryer sound, and there was no power there. And
865
00:54:16.880 --> 00:54:20.800
then the thing that was the most puzzling to me was,
866
00:54:20.840 --> 00:54:24.639
for five minutes straight toward the end of the recording,
867
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:30.440
you hear what sounds almost like a ball being bounced
868
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:34.679
against the wall. It's almost like it bounces on the floor,
869
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:38.360
hits the wall, bounces back onto the floor and back
870
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:43.159
to the hand, and it goes for five whole minutes
871
00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:45.639
and it's just a back and forth. Now I don't
872
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:48.000
know if that's if it was a ball, that's just
873
00:54:48.039 --> 00:54:51.920
what it sounded like to me because it's just consistent
874
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:57.239
for five minutes. And I was on a podcast playing
875
00:54:57.360 --> 00:55:01.679
that series of EVPs, and I was talking to a
876
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:04.920
guy who used to be a former corrections officer up
877
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:09.159
in New England, and he said, that actually makes a
878
00:55:09.159 --> 00:55:12.199
lot of sense because he said, at that point in
879
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:17.119
time in the late seventies early eighties, it wouldn't have
880
00:55:17.159 --> 00:55:20.280
been uncommon for them to have been given a rubber ball,
881
00:55:20.679 --> 00:55:23.880
because a rubber ball would be something that would be
882
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:27.039
a little bit harder to fashion into some type of
883
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:34.000
shank now, And so I believe that was some type
884
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:38.400
of residual thing that could have been very common that
885
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:40.280
you would hear there inside the hole.
886
00:55:41.480 --> 00:55:45.320
Wow, that's quite a story. I don't think I could
887
00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:47.679
sleep in there. And I've spent the night in some
888
00:55:47.760 --> 00:55:51.480
haunted places, but there's just something about a prison that
889
00:55:52.280 --> 00:55:54.480
I've seen Alcatraz and stuff, But I don't think I
890
00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:58.760
would want to spend the night in any prison. Although
891
00:55:58.840 --> 00:56:00.599
when I do come back to Tennis See, I might
892
00:56:01.239 --> 00:56:03.880
do one of those overnights in the Scott County Jail.
893
00:56:03.960 --> 00:56:05.199
That sounds fascinating.
894
00:56:05.480 --> 00:56:07.559
I would love to see what you would get there
895
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:09.639
at the Scott County Jail.
896
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:10.280
You know.
897
00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:15.440
To me, that kind of changed. I was not expecting
898
00:56:15.480 --> 00:56:17.280
to hear all that when I was going back and
899
00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:22.400
reviewing my evidence. And so if I get the opportunity
900
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:25.760
when I'm at a location and I can, I don't
901
00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:28.679
spend my time sleeping at the places. But if I
902
00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:33.079
can either stay overnight or lay down for a few hours,
903
00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:37.679
I get a lot of different things when I'm actively
904
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:44.199
investigating versus when I'm in more of a subconscious, relaxed,
905
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:49.480
vulnerable state of sleeping. And I really like trying that
906
00:56:49.519 --> 00:56:54.719
sometimes because sometimes if it's a quiet night, nothing's happening things.
907
00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:57.880
It's almost like turning on a light switch when I'm
908
00:56:57.960 --> 00:57:04.039
laying there sleeping, because sometimes I get intelligent responses based
909
00:57:04.119 --> 00:57:08.400
on what I'm doing, you know, and and if I'm
910
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:12.599
sleeping it. I don't know if it is unusual to
911
00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:18.239
the spirits there, or if maybe they're more comfortable communicating
912
00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:21.800
when I'm in that vulnerable state. I'm not. I haven't
913
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:26.400
really figured out exactly why I get that different activity,
914
00:57:26.599 --> 00:57:30.480
but it's definitely an experiment I like to try, especially
915
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:32.519
in a place like a prison, because it would have
916
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:36.880
been it would have been unusual or uncommon for a
917
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:37.719
female to.
918
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:42.719
Nothing else. I don't stir the spirits up.
919
00:57:43.320 --> 00:57:47.840
Yeah yeah, so but now at our jail, we had
920
00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:52.039
both male and female inmates inside there, but of course
921
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:56.599
at the big prison they really the only females that
922
00:57:56.639 --> 00:57:59.599
were in there would have been ones who were either
923
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:04.400
hooking or worked in administration of some sorts.
924
00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:06.960
Well, now, what about as far as your buncket list,
925
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:10.440
what someplace that you haven't been that you'd love to go?
926
00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:12.360
What's the top of your list there?
927
00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:17.119
You know, I would love to load up the bike
928
00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:22.599
and head out, maybe en Route sixty six, stopping at
929
00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:27.119
some of the different local legends or some of the
930
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:30.760
different stories there along that route.
931
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:34.079
Fun drive. I've done it in a car, it would
932
00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:36.960
be great on a bike. And I was in a hurry.
933
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:40.519
I was moving from Orlando to Las Vegas, and I
934
00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:43.280
think I left Orlando on a Thursday, and I had
935
00:58:43.280 --> 00:58:45.280
a job wid on me in Vegas Monday, so I
936
00:58:45.320 --> 00:58:48.280
didn't get to take a whole lot of time to
937
00:58:48.360 --> 00:58:51.320
see the country. But I'd love to do that, just
938
00:58:51.360 --> 00:58:54.320
as I leisurely drive. And there's a lot of places
939
00:58:54.440 --> 00:58:55.639
along that route.
940
00:58:56.360 --> 00:58:59.920
Yes, so many places to just stop, you know, and
941
00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:04.559
and hit up some of those well known places. I
942
00:59:04.559 --> 00:59:07.360
would either like to do that or just take off
943
00:59:07.400 --> 00:59:12.079
on several different bike rides and and hit I'd like
944
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:16.719
to hit some locations there on Route sixty six, several
945
00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:23.159
on the Mississippi Blues Trail, and then like the Natchez Trace,
946
00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:27.840
and just see if, if you know, get the ride
947
00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:31.280
in itself, but then stop at several of those places
948
00:59:31.360 --> 00:59:33.760
and or stop at as many of them as I
949
00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:38.559
could and share those stories and see if there's any
950
00:59:38.599 --> 00:59:40.400
paranormal activity along the way.
951
00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:44.599
Wow, sounds like a lot of fun. Book wise, what
952
00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:45.760
are you up to? Have you got a book in
953
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:46.519
the works?
954
00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:50.280
You know, I've got one that I've been kicking around
955
00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:54.159
that is a little bit different that.
956
00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:56.000
You know.
957
00:59:56.719 --> 00:59:59.639
So, so I'm an artist and I draw a lot
958
00:59:59.679 --> 01:00:03.599
of the the locations that I visit. I'm trying to
959
01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:10.719
draw all of them. But the book is part drawing
960
01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:16.719
and part investigation, and it's kind of chronicling those investigations
961
01:00:16.719 --> 01:00:21.760
that I've done and with the artwork that I've done.
962
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:25.719
I have no idea when that will when that will
963
01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:27.639
be finished, but it's something.
964
01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:30.079
That's fascinating now I look forward to, especially with the
965
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:34.880
artwork and describing or showing what you're describing there. That'd
966
01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:35.360
be great.
967
01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:38.360
Well, thank you, thank you. Yeah, just like I said,
968
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:41.239
it's it's just something a little bit different. Because I
969
01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:46.119
always that's how I fund my web series is through
970
01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:48.440
my artwork, through the cell of the Prince, and so
971
01:00:48.960 --> 01:00:52.760
I always try to draw the location and give the
972
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:56.920
give the original to the owner of the location, whether
973
01:00:56.960 --> 01:01:01.639
it be either a commercial location or a lesser known place,
974
01:01:02.199 --> 01:01:06.000
and then I get prints made of it, and then
975
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:09.159
I fund my travels by the sale of those prints.
976
01:01:09.199 --> 01:01:12.079
And so that's cool. Now more words available that do
977
01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:13.599
you have like an Etsy shop or do you sew
978
01:01:13.639 --> 01:01:15.079
them on your website.
979
01:01:14.679 --> 01:01:18.320
Or I've got them on my website. Yeah, and but
980
01:01:18.440 --> 01:01:21.559
if somebody you know sees something there, they can also
981
01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:23.519
just reach out to me. I've got them, got them
982
01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:26.840
on my Facebook page, but then also on Ghost Biker
983
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:28.559
Explorations dot com.
984
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:33.119
I'll put those links in the show description. We Brandon,
985

joining us again, come on in here.
1022
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:46.320
Oh Steve, thank you so much for inviting me. It's
1023
01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:48.519
always a pleasure and I was really looking forward to
1024
01:03:48.519 --> 01:03:49.599
doing this with you tonight.
1025
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:54.320
Yeah, ad John. Recently we talked about being the Paranormal Nurse.
1026
01:03:54.400 --> 01:03:57.719
That was what I titled that episode. But tonight I'd
1027
01:03:57.800 --> 01:04:01.760
like to talk about your books, in particular Omnipresent in
1028
01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:04.920
that series. So the floor is yours.
1029
01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:09.360
Oh well, thank you so much. I have. Omnipresent is
1030
01:04:09.920 --> 01:04:12.760
a book that I wrote about a house that I
1031
01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:16.840
moved into as a single mother that was so haunted
1032
01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:19.039
that I never was able to move into it. I
1033
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:24.119
ended up reselling it like eight months later. With that
1034
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:27.000
being said, Omnipresent is going to end up being a
1035
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:29.480
series of five books, which I'll go into the detail
1036
01:04:29.519 --> 01:04:31.440
of a little bit more of them, a little bit
1037
01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:34.559
of each of them. There's Omnipresent, which is the first one,
1038
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:36.440
of course, about the house that I didn't move into.
1039
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:41.320
Then there's a second one. It's called Omnipresent What Happened Next,
1040
01:04:41.800 --> 01:04:44.639
because everybody wanted to know what had happened next. So
1041
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:48.840
in that book, it talks about what happened with the
1042
01:04:48.880 --> 01:04:51.800
people that bought the house, It talks about what happened
1043
01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:54.519
to the about with the people that sold me the house,
1044
01:04:55.440 --> 01:04:57.760
and all of how that came together, as well as
1045
01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:02.679
because in that house and connecting with people of like mind,
1046
01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:07.400
I was able to start enriching some gifts that I
1047
01:05:07.480 --> 01:05:09.880
had that I had kind of shoved aside due to
1048
01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:14.440
being taught that they were negative things to have, that
1049
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:19.280
they were kind of crazy and you know, very negative things.
1050
01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:21.840
So I was able to do that, and with that
1051
01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:25.039
I was able to also continue with my gift of
1052
01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:29.119
second sight and be more opened with it. That being said,
1053
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:32.639
in the second book, Omnipresent, What Happens Next, I did
1054
01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:36.440
a rotation as a nurse to further my degree, and
1055
01:05:36.519 --> 01:05:39.400
I had to do a rotation through a psychiatric ward
1056
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:43.079
for my psyche class. We were put in different institutions
1057
01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:45.000
over for like a week at a time, where we
1058
01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:49.920
would follow certain patients and in that it talks about
1059
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:55.280
how I recognized attachments on people with schizophrenia and attachments
1060
01:05:55.280 --> 01:06:00.360
a different type of attachment on people with addiction. So
1061
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:05.599
and and this and was consistent. Bear with me one second.
1062
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:08.639
I'm sorry, Bear with me. I'm sorry. I've got a
1063
01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:13.079
little kitten playing with my leg in your table. I
1064
01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:14.679
had to call my daughter to come and get it
1065
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:17.920
because it's kind of biting me. So he wants to
1066
01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:20.480
play and he's just a little a little ruffian. But
1067
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:26.760
so with that, I've started to connect with doctor Jerry Marvinski,
1068
01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:30.519
who is a trailblazer in Arizona who has come up
1069
01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:36.440
with new ways to treat schizophrenia without medication, and his
1070
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:39.679
technique is very successful with many of his clients. But
1071
01:06:39.840 --> 01:06:43.119
I connected up with him, so I had some things
1072
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:45.320
that I'm doing are kind of going down that avenue
1073
01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:49.280
and helping remove attachments and things on people. But then
1074
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:51.920
there's the third book in the Omnipresent series, which will
1075
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:56.039
end up being a series of five books total. The
1076
01:06:56.119 --> 01:06:59.480
third book is one to eleven Becket on Drive. It's
1077
01:06:59.519 --> 01:07:03.000
a story about where I actually signed a lease to
1078
01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:08.119
an apartment townhouse when I was kind of frantic looking
1079
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:10.239
to move. My lease was ending in the other place,
1080
01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:13.320
and I was trying to find an affordable place, and
1081
01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:16.440
come to find out that that place was also haunted.
1082
01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:18.559
Only this time I couldn't get out of my lease,
1083
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:21.400
and I had to move in there, and I had
1084
01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:24.400
to live there the whole stink in year, putting up
1085
01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:28.960
with a ghost that literally I have a picture of.
1086
01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:30.880
I took a picture of it. That was going from
1087
01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:35.960
townhouse to townhouse, pulling down women's underwear in the middle
1088
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:38.679
of the night, pulling their sheets down, crawling in bed
1089
01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:41.719
with them. He was tapping on the nightstand. There were
1090
01:07:41.760 --> 01:07:44.440
several ghosts in the house, but this one in particular
1091
01:07:44.679 --> 01:07:47.199
seemed to be darker than the rest, and he kind
1092
01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:50.880
of manipulated all of the rest of the spirits that
1093
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:55.000
were kind of lingering in that building. Of course, I
1094
01:07:55.039 --> 01:07:56.559
did try to get out of it, but I was
1095
01:07:56.639 --> 01:08:00.880
unable to, and because of the circumstances, I right into it.
1096
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:03.559
I didn't take the time to go in with my
1097
01:08:03.639 --> 01:08:06.960
feelers on, so to speak. I literally met the lady
1098
01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:11.079
with the deposit that it ends assigned papers on my
1099
01:08:11.159 --> 01:08:13.639
first viewing. So I walked through. I took ten minutes
1100
01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:16.560
and some things also happened with that where I found
1101
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:20.840
out from the maid, the cleaning person that that particular
1102
01:08:21.319 --> 01:08:23.640
apartment had a portal in it, as well as the
1103
01:08:23.640 --> 01:08:27.279
one next door to it. And little by little, and
1104
01:08:27.560 --> 01:08:30.840
I'll go into more of it after I tell you
1105
01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:35.920
about the book things. But little by little, I ended
1106
01:08:35.960 --> 01:08:38.600
up having a meeting in the parking lot, everybody in
1107
01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:40.800
their lawn chairs, and we all started talking about the
1108
01:08:40.840 --> 01:08:42.600
things that had been happening in our house. And I
1109
01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.199
got a picture of the ghosts. And usually they show
1110
01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:47.560
up with clothes on most of the time. I mean,
1111
01:08:47.600 --> 01:08:50.640
nobody wants to see mom naked, especially if you're crossing over,
1112
01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:53.920
so you know, kind of make you you want to
1113
01:08:54.000 --> 01:08:56.640
run in the other direction. So they usually show up
1114
01:08:56.680 --> 01:08:59.520
and clothes, but there are times that they don't, and
1115
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:02.359
this was one of those times, and so I did
1116
01:09:02.359 --> 01:09:07.079
get a picture of the naked ghost in this lady's house.
1117
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:11.560
After that one, the fourth book in the Omnipresent series
1118
01:09:11.640 --> 01:09:15.439
is going to be Omnipresent Gnome as in g n
1119
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:19.800
O m E Nome place like Home. It is a
1120
01:09:19.880 --> 01:09:23.600
story about a house that I recently inherited when my
1121
01:09:23.680 --> 01:09:27.279
sister passed away in June that she was under the
1122
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:32.399
impression was haunted. She felt that people that there might
1123
01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:36.079
be people doing dark magic on her with some of
1124
01:09:36.079 --> 01:09:40.159
the things that were happening in her life, that you know,
1125
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:43.640
her business was failing, her health was failing in all
1126
01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:47.159
of these things. So she assumed, because she couldn't understand
1127
01:09:47.199 --> 01:09:49.439
any other reason why it wouldn't be working out, that
1128
01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:52.399
it was because people were doing things. And it turned
1129
01:09:52.399 --> 01:09:57.199
out not to be any of those things. But when
1130
01:09:57.439 --> 01:10:01.479
she passed away, she came back and she's like, did
1131
01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:04.119
you see him? Did you see him? She had a
1132
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:10.159
a Bogart that is now evolved into a rock and
1133
01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:15.079
type fay that was living on her property and was
1134
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.079
very very disgruntled and angry with her because she had
1135
01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:21.359
removed a rock from the yard that belonged to him
1136
01:10:21.399 --> 01:10:24.199
and placed it in a room upstairs in her house.
1137
01:10:24.840 --> 01:10:27.439
And like a parent to a child, I mean, if
1138
01:10:27.479 --> 01:10:30.000
somebody abducted my child, I know that I would be
1139
01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:33.760
doing terrible things to them if I could, so absolutely
1140
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:35.760
go ahead.
1141
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:39.199
Oh, I just said absolutely. That's you don't stand up
1142
01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:42.439
for that. They don't get between a bear and the cubs,
1143
01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:44.000
that is for sure.
1144
01:10:44.119 --> 01:10:46.600
And so and that's kind of what happened because this
1145
01:10:46.880 --> 01:10:51.359
rock was very precious to this they who we now
1146
01:10:51.399 --> 01:10:55.600
call Bob, because his name is such a group of
1147
01:10:56.680 --> 01:11:00.359
letters and symbols that we don't even recognize that it
1148
01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:03.479
would be impossible to pronounce his name practically, kind of
1149
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:06.600
like a rumpel Stiltskin thing, but even worse than that.
1150
01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:09.520
So we've agreed to call him Bob, and he's okay
1151
01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:11.680
with that. So I referenced him as Bob. But Bob
1152
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:19.159
has since evolved into this very delightful entity that enchants
1153
01:11:19.239 --> 01:11:23.159
the house now instead of haunts it. So it's very
1154
01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:27.239
very he does some very beautiful things, and I'll go
1155
01:11:27.319 --> 01:11:31.840
into that story as well. Also, it's verified. If anybody's questioning,
1156
01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:34.600
it is verified. We've had a paranormal group or two
1157
01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:37.159
out there that have also done the e DP readings.
1158
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:41.319
They've actually seen Bob. Bob presents at the gate. Unlike
1159
01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:44.079
ghosts who kind of linger back and wait to watch
1160
01:11:44.079 --> 01:11:47.159
you for a little while, this guy presents at the
1161
01:11:47.199 --> 01:11:50.239
gate when you arrive. He is like the first man
1162
01:11:50.279 --> 01:11:54.680
there to greet you. So he doesn't he's not bashful,
1163
01:11:54.880 --> 01:11:57.560
and he does come forward. But so I'm going to
1164
01:11:57.600 --> 01:11:59.399
be writing that and then there'll be a fifth book
1165
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:02.279
in the series. I haven't quite decided which direction it's
1166
01:12:02.319 --> 01:12:04.720
going to go, because it seems like life keeps throwing
1167
01:12:04.760 --> 01:12:07.520
curveballs and heading me in other directions. But it'll be
1168
01:12:08.039 --> 01:12:12.039
again something on that line with the Known Place Like Home.
1169
01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:16.319
There'll be two additional books that spawn, for lack of
1170
01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:19.079
a better word, off of that book. So there'll be
1171
01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:22.199
three books in that Known Place Like Home series off
1172
01:12:22.439 --> 01:12:25.199
the off of the Omnipresent, and there'll be a total
1173
01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:28.359
of five in the Omnipresent series. I also have the
1174
01:12:28.359 --> 01:12:33.000
book The Colors of Heaven Beginnings Never End Out, which
1175
01:12:33.039 --> 01:12:38.399
is a beautiful story about death and dying. I've been
1176
01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:41.439
a end of life care nurse. I've been a nurse
1177
01:12:41.479 --> 01:12:43.840
for forty years. I just turned sixty one two weeks
1178
01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:48.359
ago on Friday, and so I've been in healthcare for
1179
01:12:49.279 --> 01:12:51.800
a long time, and seventeen eighteen years of that has
1180
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:54.479
been an end of life care. I also just recently
1181
01:12:54.479 --> 01:12:57.800
graduated with my death Duela certificate, which people say, well,
1182
01:12:57.800 --> 01:13:00.159
what is a death dula. It's kind of like a
1183
01:13:00.279 --> 01:13:04.479
midwife for people going out, where like a midwife helps
1184
01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:08.119
bring babies in, a death dula is like a midwife
1185
01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:11.960
that helps them go out, So that's kind of where
1186
01:13:12.039 --> 01:13:14.880
the difference is. And then we kind of do an
1187
01:13:14.920 --> 01:13:17.800
all rounded thing where we help people if they need
1188
01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:20.319
help with their end of life directives, if they need
1189
01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:23.239
guidance on setting things up, we help them do that
1190
01:13:24.199 --> 01:13:26.479
by themselves so they don't have to pay like an
1191
01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:28.920
attorney or something like that, because a lot of it
1192
01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:31.680
you can do yourself, and as long as your signatures notarize,
1193
01:13:31.680 --> 01:13:33.680
it's good to go. I'm going to be writing a
1194
01:13:33.720 --> 01:13:36.680
sequel to that one since my sister's passing, because the
1195
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:40.039
thing that I noticed is that when my mother passed,
1196
01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:42.399
she stayed in her body until the last minute, and
1197
01:13:42.439 --> 01:13:45.439
my sister I saw her leave about forty five minutes early.
1198
01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:48.720
So at the time of the soul leaving, it could
1199
01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:51.520
be days before, it could be at the last minute,
1200
01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:53.640
and then the body's just left to finish. And a
1201
01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:56.560
lot of times people assume that when the body takes
1202
01:13:56.560 --> 01:13:59.199
its last breath, that that's when the soul leaves, and
1203
01:13:59.239 --> 01:14:02.319
that's not true. It leaves whenever it wants to leave.
1204
01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:05.680
And a lot of times, you know, the person spirit
1205
01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:08.479
might be standing right next to you while you're looking
1206
01:14:08.640 --> 01:14:11.399
at themselves laying there is just the same as a
1207
01:14:11.439 --> 01:14:14.920
person guest is in the room. So I have another
1208
01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:18.239
book that is off the beaten path. It's not paranormal related,
1209
01:14:18.279 --> 01:14:23.800
but it is teenage and adolescent related. It's called The Gap.
1210
01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:27.039
I was looking for a book for my own daughter,
1211
01:14:27.640 --> 01:14:31.600
who is now fifteen and a half, and there was
1212
01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:34.359
kind of this gap of information between the birds and
1213
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:37.439
the bees where they leave off and where the human
1214
01:14:37.439 --> 01:14:41.800
trafficking picks up. There's that gray area, like about you know,
1215
01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:46.600
dating and putting your phone away when you go out
1216
01:14:46.600 --> 01:14:48.600
on a date, because now you see kids sitting across
1217
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:50.760
tables from themselves and they're both on their phones and
1218
01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:53.600
they're supposed to be on a date, or you know,
1219
01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:56.359
making sure that their shoes are clean and not stinky,
1220
01:14:56.399 --> 01:14:58.880
and it you know, talks about too what to do
1221
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:01.279
for condom breaks. So it's not that I'm encouraging your
1222
01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:03.840
children to have sex, but if they are having sex,
1223
01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:06.039
they need to know what to do if a condom
1224
01:15:06.079 --> 01:15:08.199
does slip off or break so that they can protect
1225
01:15:08.199 --> 01:15:12.319
their future and also to clear up any misconceptions, like
1226
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:16.119
the first time that they have an intimate moment with
1227
01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:18.840
someone that they can't get pregnant. Well, I got news
1228
01:15:18.920 --> 01:15:21.399
for you, Yes you can. So there are all these
1229
01:15:21.439 --> 01:15:27.560
misconceptions that these kids have that aren't really covered for
1230
01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:29.800
them in that much detail, and they kind of figure
1231
01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:32.439
it out as they go. So that's what that book
1232
01:15:32.479 --> 01:15:34.720
is about. It goes into also how to clean a
1233
01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:37.119
refrigerator from top to bottom and remember to turn it
1234
01:15:37.159 --> 01:15:39.840
back on when you're done. It talks about how to
1235
01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:41.439
get in and out of a trunk if you get
1236
01:15:41.439 --> 01:15:44.439
abducted and you're putting a trunk, where the trunk releases
1237
01:15:44.520 --> 01:15:46.399
on the inside, what it looks like, and where a
1238
01:15:46.399 --> 01:15:50.159
crowbar is so that if you get the trunk open
1239
01:15:50.239 --> 01:15:52.279
and you've got that crowbar to whack somebody in the
1240
01:15:52.319 --> 01:15:54.399
head if you have to while you're running for your
1241
01:15:54.439 --> 01:15:58.119
life or whatever. And how to break out the back light.
1242
01:15:58.239 --> 01:16:00.800
So there's a lot of good stuff in it that
1243
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:04.640
is hopefully helpful. How to make right good decisions, how
1244
01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:08.119
to say no, you know, to things who still safe place,
1245
01:16:08.239 --> 01:16:11.439
because at that age they're so impressionable and really really
1246
01:16:12.159 --> 01:16:16.039
wanting to be the cool kid, and this gives the things.
1247
01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:19.359
It actually tells them what to say, not just no,
1248
01:16:19.520 --> 01:16:22.079
you don't do this, and you don't do that, but
1249
01:16:22.199 --> 01:16:25.239
it actually says this is what you can do, and
1250
01:16:25.279 --> 01:16:27.319
this is how it will work out, so that they
1251
01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:32.239
can save face and still make their set their boundaries
1252
01:16:32.279 --> 01:16:35.119
and keep them. So those are the books that I've
1253
01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:37.960
got out right now, and I'll be happy to you.
1254
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:40.399
Wanted to kind of start on the very first one,
1255
01:16:40.399 --> 01:16:42.319
which is Omnipresent, Is that right?
1256
01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:44.840
Yeah? Yeah, I'd like to start hearing all fascinating And
1257
01:16:44.880 --> 01:16:47.640
I saw the gap on Amazon and I wasn't sure
1258
01:16:47.680 --> 01:16:49.359
if that was one of yours or not, but I'm
1259
01:16:49.720 --> 01:16:53.600
patty good it is. That's much needed information, especially in
1260
01:16:53.600 --> 01:16:55.520
this day and age. But yeah, if you'd like to
1261
01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:58.720
go ahead and start with Omnipresent, then we'll go from there.
1262
01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:03.279
Okay, I'm happy to omni president again. As I had mentioned,
1263
01:17:03.399 --> 01:17:05.439
is a story about a house that I purchased as
1264
01:17:05.479 --> 01:17:08.800
a single mother that I never was able to move into.
1265
01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:12.720
Leading up to the purchase of this house, I had
1266
01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:15.239
been looking for a home for about a year and
1267
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:18.399
a half. I had this realtor person that every time
1268
01:17:18.399 --> 01:17:21.000
we would find someplace. Because I was a single mother
1269
01:17:21.119 --> 01:17:23.920
and my income was not as high as everybody else's,
1270
01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:27.199
I of course was in a bracket. I could only
1271
01:17:27.319 --> 01:17:29.920
choose from a certain bracket of houses, So when we
1272
01:17:29.960 --> 01:17:33.399
would come across something decent, sometimes I would want to
1273
01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:36.399
step away and think about it and make sure. But
1274
01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:38.359
then by the time i'd go back, even a couple
1275
01:17:38.399 --> 01:17:40.560
of days later to make an offer, the house would
1276
01:17:40.600 --> 01:17:44.439
be gone. So this particular house, I got a call
1277
01:17:44.720 --> 01:17:49.560
from my realtor and she told me that her colleague
1278
01:17:49.560 --> 01:17:51.600
had just come from the house. The house was not
1279
01:17:51.680 --> 01:17:54.840
even listed on the MLS yet, that she had just
1280
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.279
come back from taking pictures of it and was getting
1281
01:17:57.319 --> 01:18:01.600
ready to list it, and that this house was almost
1282
01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:03.840
too good, it was in my price range, and that
1283
01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:05.680
it was almost too good to be true, which of
1284
01:18:05.680 --> 01:18:08.960
course should have resonated with me, because it was too
1285
01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:11.920
good to be true. And so I was so excited.
1286
01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:14.760
I got ready. I drove over to the reeltor's office.
1287
01:18:14.760 --> 01:18:16.840
She's waiting out front for me. We hop in the car,
1288
01:18:16.920 --> 01:18:19.359
and she's giving me all of these papers to look
1289
01:18:19.399 --> 01:18:23.520
through of now that it is going onto the MLS,
1290
01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:27.760
all of the pictures and the particulars about how big
1291
01:18:27.800 --> 01:18:30.159
it was and you know, what area was in and
1292
01:18:30.199 --> 01:18:32.399
that sort of thing. And so as we're driving there
1293
01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:35.279
I'm looking at these pictures and I'm like, are you
1294
01:18:35.439 --> 01:18:39.000
sure that this price is right? Because this house could
1295
01:18:39.039 --> 01:18:41.560
easily sell for one hundred thousand dollars more than what
1296
01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:44.520
they're asking. So we called the realtor and sure enough,
1297
01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:46.800
the price was right, And then I had her make
1298
01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:49.920
two more phone calls, one asking what the problem with
1299
01:18:50.039 --> 01:18:52.560
it was, you know, was it next to a stinky
1300
01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:55.119
paper mill or is there a dump or a junk
1301
01:18:55.159 --> 01:18:57.279
yard at the end of the street. And it was
1302
01:18:57.359 --> 01:18:59.399
none of those things. It was on in a dead
1303
01:18:59.479 --> 01:19:02.680
end street, on what I call a trick or treat neighborhood,
1304
01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:04.520
so the houses are close enough that when you go
1305
01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:06.920
trick or treating you can get a lot of candy,
1306
01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:10.279
you know, by going house to house. But yet there
1307
01:19:10.279 --> 01:19:13.039
it was private because there was a three acre lot
1308
01:19:13.079 --> 01:19:17.720
behind it before the other house, before the house behind
1309
01:19:17.760 --> 01:19:20.640
it connected with, so there was a lot of privacy
1310
01:19:20.640 --> 01:19:22.800
in the back. And of course being on the dead
1311
01:19:22.880 --> 01:19:25.720
end street, it was quiet. It was in a great
1312
01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:28.800
school area, low tax is. It was a very desirable house.
1313
01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:31.760
So as we're driving there, I'm kind of checking out
1314
01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:33.920
the neighborhood as we get closer, and it was there
1315
01:19:33.960 --> 01:19:36.600
were nice brick houses. I mean, there was nothing wrong
1316
01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:39.079
with the neighborhood. It was a couple of blocks from
1317
01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:41.680
the hospital, which was perfect for me because I'm a nurse,
1318
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:43.399
and I thought, well, gee, I could ride my bike
1319
01:19:43.520 --> 01:19:45.880
or walk if ever I had to, so it wouldn't
1320
01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:49.560
be a big big deal. But when we pulled into
1321
01:19:49.600 --> 01:19:53.159
the to the driveway of this house, it was this
1322
01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:58.439
beautiful two story brick house, split level, double entry doors,
1323
01:19:58.520 --> 01:20:02.159
and it was beautiful. It was freshly painted on this nice,
1324
01:20:02.199 --> 01:20:05.279
big mode crass Florida flat lot, and good luck finding
1325
01:20:05.319 --> 01:20:08.319
one of those in North Carolina. And when we went
1326
01:20:08.399 --> 01:20:10.840
up to the door, it all started with the lock.
1327
01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:13.359
And the lock is a key piece throughout the story
1328
01:20:13.439 --> 01:20:18.199
because there was there were two demons, actual demons and
1329
01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:20.760
a young man that had hung himself in the house
1330
01:20:21.319 --> 01:20:24.479
from the original people that built the house. This was
1331
01:20:24.560 --> 01:20:27.000
verified by the next door neighbor, who had been on
1332
01:20:27.039 --> 01:20:29.760
the street before any other houses were built, even before
1333
01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:33.520
the road was paved. He verified that. But as far
1334
01:20:33.560 --> 01:20:35.800
as the demons go, a lot of times people will
1335
01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:40.560
assume that because they have a lost soul in their house,
1336
01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:43.479
or sometimes even an elemental in their house, that it's
1337
01:20:43.479 --> 01:20:46.640
a demon. So they'll call me up and they'll say,
1338
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:49.600
I've got a demon in my house, And ninety nine
1339
01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:52.359
point nine percent of the time it's not, but in
1340
01:20:52.399 --> 01:20:54.960
this case it was, and there were two of them
1341
01:20:55.079 --> 01:20:57.800
in there. There was a hell dog and another level
1342
01:20:57.840 --> 01:21:02.279
demon that whenever I talk about usually the EVPs will
1343
01:21:02.279 --> 01:21:04.760
come over the radio and you might hear growling or
1344
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:08.159
snoring or sighing. So we'll just kind of leave it
1345
01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:13.560
at that trickery. It starts happening with the audio and
1346
01:21:13.680 --> 01:21:18.159
any video that is on at that time. But so
1347
01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:22.479
with the lock, the hell hound that would run the
1348
01:21:22.560 --> 01:21:27.880
stairs up and down manipulated the lock, and so the
1349
01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:32.399
realtor lady was trying it had was trying to put
1350
01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:34.199
the key in, and the key would not go in.
1351
01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:36.840
So she thought, well, maybe they left the wrong set
1352
01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:38.760
of keys, because there was a lock box and at
1353
01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:43.079
that point with the keys underneath, And so she tried again,
1354
01:21:43.159 --> 01:21:44.840
and every time she would say, well, I don't know
1355
01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:46.680
what's the matter with it. I'm gonna try one more time.
1356
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:49.000
Then it would slip in, but then it wouldn't turn,
1357
01:21:49.479 --> 01:21:51.359
and then well I'm going to try one more time,
1358
01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:54.279
and then it would turn. But then she couldn't get
1359
01:21:54.279 --> 01:21:57.920
it back out, and this was a continuous problem. Finally
1360
01:21:57.920 --> 01:21:59.880
she was able to open the door and I entered
1361
01:21:59.920 --> 01:22:04.560
it into the foyer. And what I had been told
1362
01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:07.479
about this house was is that the people that were
1363
01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:11.840
selling it were motivated sellers, that they had relocated out
1364
01:22:11.880 --> 01:22:15.600
of state for jobs, that they were now paying two mortgages,
1365
01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:18.560
they were anxious to sell, and that the house they
1366
01:22:18.600 --> 01:22:20.880
had already moved out of it was moving ready. So
1367
01:22:20.920 --> 01:22:24.720
there was no furniture, nothing in the house. So it
1368
01:22:24.760 --> 01:22:27.399
even made it more desirable for me, because then I could,
1369
01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:30.039
you know, move move in and it you know, it
1370
01:22:30.079 --> 01:22:35.079
wouldn't take very long. So I go into the house.
1371
01:22:35.199 --> 01:22:38.119
I go into the foyer, and from the foyer you
1372
01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:41.199
have descending stairs, and then you have these ascending stairs
1373
01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:43.960
to the upper level. And I started walking up the
1374
01:22:44.239 --> 01:22:47.239
upper level, and out of my peripheral vision, I catch
1375
01:22:48.239 --> 01:22:50.800
a vision of this young man hanging in the stairwell,
1376
01:22:51.680 --> 01:22:55.239
and I'm like, I'm like whoa, I'm like, what is that?
1377
01:22:55.640 --> 01:22:57.720
And of course when I look at it directly, I
1378
01:22:57.760 --> 01:23:01.439
don't see anything there, and I'm like, why on earth,
1379
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:04.359
you know, would I even be thinking about something so horrible?
1380
01:23:04.439 --> 01:23:07.000
And keeping in mind too, that I'm still at that
1381
01:23:07.159 --> 01:23:11.159
stage where a lot of my gifts due to traditional
1382
01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:15.279
religion were put down and snuffed out, in the sense
1383
01:23:15.319 --> 01:23:17.800
that I became afraid of my own gifts, that even
1384
01:23:17.840 --> 01:23:21.760
though I would still see things, I would either rationalize
1385
01:23:21.800 --> 01:23:25.479
them or run out of the room as fast as
1386
01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:27.520
anybody else. But I was in the case at that
1387
01:23:27.640 --> 01:23:30.359
point that I thought that universal law would come into play,
1388
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:34.800
which it does not always. So I see this and
1389
01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:37.359
I'm thinking to myself, why on earth would i be
1390
01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:40.079
thinking of something so horrible. But it turned out that
1391
01:23:40.199 --> 01:23:43.199
the young man did hang himself in the stairwell. The
1392
01:23:43.279 --> 01:23:45.880
house was built in the nineteen seventies, and what I
1393
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:48.199
have learned is that it's not about the age house,
1394
01:23:48.800 --> 01:23:50.920
it's about the age of the ground that it's built on.
1395
01:23:51.000 --> 01:23:53.399
So a brw house, if it's built in the wrong place,
1396
01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:58.920
can be hamted. So you know, I'm envisioning this, And
1397
01:23:58.960 --> 01:24:01.880
of course the neighborhood told me that the people that
1398
01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:04.880
originally bought the house were going through a divorce and
1399
01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:07.079
that the sun was kind of had a little bit
1400
01:24:07.079 --> 01:24:10.000
of a drug problem that he ended up hanging himself,
1401
01:24:10.039 --> 01:24:13.319
and the stairwell mother came home and found him, So
1402
01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:15.920
it was a very sad thing that that happened. But
1403
01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:19.960
going forward, I went up to the very very upper
1404
01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:23.640
level and I've admiring the big living room. There was
1405
01:24:23.680 --> 01:24:26.720
a living room and a formal dining room, kitchen with
1406
01:24:26.760 --> 01:24:29.279
a breakfast nook off to the left, and to the
1407
01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:31.439
right was the hallway that went down to the bedrooms.
1408
01:24:31.880 --> 01:24:35.199
I was envisioning my kids sprawling out on the floor
1409
01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:37.039
in the popcorn and where I was going to put
1410
01:24:37.079 --> 01:24:40.000
the Christmas tree. I mean, it was a gorgeous house.
1411
01:24:40.079 --> 01:24:44.520
And all of a sudden, I feel this negative light,
1412
01:24:44.560 --> 01:24:47.960
almost stepping into a portal, because I could feel the
1413
01:24:48.119 --> 01:24:53.119
threads that almost feel like webs, like spider webs, tickling
1414
01:24:53.159 --> 01:24:55.800
across my face, and of course I thought that it
1415
01:24:55.880 --> 01:24:59.520
was a spider, so immediately I start kind of wiping
1416
01:24:59.560 --> 01:25:01.880
off my face. I'm thinking, oh my gosh, you know,
1417
01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:05.159
brown reclose or something might be on me. And then
1418
01:25:05.199 --> 01:25:12.760
I feel this energetic, very negative, very angry energy charging
1419
01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:16.199
at me and stopping just like within half of an
1420
01:25:16.239 --> 01:25:19.359
inch of my face, and it felt like a raging
1421
01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:24.920
bull was charging me. And I literally stepped backwards and
1422
01:25:24.960 --> 01:25:27.920
had it hang on to the rail because I would
1423
01:25:27.960 --> 01:25:30.800
have fallen backwards on those stairs. But I took a
1424
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:35.279
step back onto the stairs. It was that bad and
1425
01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:37.520
it spooked me. So I turned around and I walked
1426
01:25:37.560 --> 01:25:40.560
back down to stand on the landing, and finally the
1427
01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:44.920
realtor comes in, and of course, you know, I'm rationalizing.
1428
01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:47.479
I'm like, well, that can't be. It's just my imagination.
1429
01:25:47.720 --> 01:25:50.119
All of this is my imagination, just like I was
1430
01:25:50.159 --> 01:25:53.920
told that it was, and I have a wild imagination today.
1431
01:25:54.079 --> 01:25:58.359
So she ended up having me tour the house, and
1432
01:25:58.479 --> 01:26:00.439
I asked her if I could come back later on
1433
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:02.800
that afternoon with my children, and she said that she
1434
01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:05.159
would meet me there after I picked up my kids.
1435
01:26:05.720 --> 01:26:08.119
So at the time, I was a mother of two.
1436
01:26:08.159 --> 01:26:11.720
I had a third baby at forty six, a late
1437
01:26:11.760 --> 01:26:15.520
life baby, so I have had one after this book
1438
01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:20.720
was written. But my older two came with me to
1439
01:26:20.960 --> 01:26:23.039
look at the house, and of course we're driving down
1440
01:26:23.039 --> 01:26:24.920
the road and they're like, when are we going to
1441
01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:27.239
get there? You know, we pull into the yard. They're
1442
01:26:27.239 --> 01:26:30.279
so thrilled because we'd been living in this single wide
1443
01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:33.239
mobile home in this trailer park where there was a
1444
01:26:33.279 --> 01:26:35.560
canal that was going around behind us, and we had
1445
01:26:35.640 --> 01:26:39.239
regular window peakers, so and people we questioned all activities.
1446
01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:41.680
So it was nice for us to be able to
1447
01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:44.920
get out of the neighborhood where they could actually have
1448
01:26:45.079 --> 01:26:47.159
a swing set and have things like that in the
1449
01:26:47.239 --> 01:26:52.359
yard to play in safely for that matter. So they
1450
01:26:52.359 --> 01:26:55.199
were once we got into the house, they were running
1451
01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:58.039
up and down the hallways and picking out their bedrooms,
1452
01:26:58.039 --> 01:27:01.359
and nobody really seemed to want the third bedroom because
1453
01:27:01.399 --> 01:27:05.279
it was of a smaller size, so they asked if
1454
01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:08.359
they could go downstairs and look at There was this
1455
01:27:09.119 --> 01:27:12.600
large family room with a full stone wall and fireplace
1456
01:27:12.680 --> 01:27:15.159
in the center of it, and then adjacent to that
1457
01:27:15.800 --> 01:27:19.159
was a like thirteen by fifteen foot room that was
1458
01:27:19.239 --> 01:27:21.760
just a bonus room. And then the other part was
1459
01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:24.000
the garage, which was so big that it had a
1460
01:27:24.039 --> 01:27:26.880
workshop in it. And even with the workshop, and you
1461
01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:29.920
could still fit three cars in there, one in front
1462
01:27:29.920 --> 01:27:32.479
of the other and then the other one side by side,
1463
01:27:32.640 --> 01:27:37.079
so it was a pretty good sized garage with that.
1464
01:27:37.159 --> 01:27:40.359
So the reiltor and I are standing in the kitchen
1465
01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:42.279
and my daughter comes up and she asks if they
1466
01:27:42.279 --> 01:27:45.920
can go down in literally five minutes if that they
1467
01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:49.560
were back upstairs and my daughter is saying to me, Mommy,
1468
01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:52.600
I don't want to live here. I don't want to
1469
01:27:52.640 --> 01:27:56.920
move here. There's something about this house and I don't
1470
01:27:56.960 --> 01:27:59.439
want to move here. And of course I'm like, what
1471
01:27:59.560 --> 01:28:01.960
did you say? Say? I mean, I heard her, but
1472
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:04.439
I was shocked because here we've been living in this
1473
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:07.199
mobile home that could have fit four times if you
1474
01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:09.600
stacked it on top of it self, four times, side
1475
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:13.760
by side, in this beautiful house. I mean, I was
1476
01:28:13.800 --> 01:28:15.960
so proud to think, as a single mother that I
1477
01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:18.720
could provide such a grand home. It was a twenty
1478
01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:21.880
four hundred square foot house, three bedroom, two bath. It
1479
01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:24.840
was a nice house. It was a nice, big house.
1480
01:28:25.399 --> 01:28:27.000
So I asked her, I said, what did you say?
1481
01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:28.960
And she said it again and she says, there is
1482
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:32.279
something about this house that I do not like and
1483
01:28:32.359 --> 01:28:34.720
I do not want to live here. Well, of course
1484
01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:37.920
I'm embarrassed because I'm standing with this realtor that's been
1485
01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:40.680
dragging me around for a year and a half and
1486
01:28:40.720 --> 01:28:43.479
here's my daughter telling me that she doesn't want to
1487
01:28:43.479 --> 01:28:46.479
live in this house. And so I got a little
1488
01:28:46.479 --> 01:28:48.319
perturbed and I said to her, I said, well, that's
1489
01:28:48.359 --> 01:28:50.880
not a decision for you to make. And in the meantime,
1490
01:28:51.720 --> 01:28:53.880
other realtors had been to the house because they would
1491
01:28:53.960 --> 01:28:56.039
leave their business card every time, so there was a
1492
01:28:56.039 --> 01:29:00.600
stack of them on the counter and ahead, and I
1493
01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:03.119
made an offer, and I said a prayer, like, if
1494
01:29:03.159 --> 01:29:05.359
this is meant to be, then I will get it.
1495
01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:07.600
And lo and behold, I got the call. We had
1496
01:29:07.640 --> 01:29:10.079
found out too, that somebody else had called in to
1497
01:29:10.079 --> 01:29:13.439
make an offer before mine, so they would be considering
1498
01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:17.520
both of ours that evening. And so the next day
1499
01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:19.640
I found out that I had gotten it. And of
1500
01:29:19.640 --> 01:29:23.600
course I'm dancing around and I'm so thrilled. I'm thinking, oh,
1501
01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:26.840
my gosh, well, this is this is finally our reward,
1502
01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:29.640
you know, with all of what the kids and I
1503
01:29:29.640 --> 01:29:32.039
have been through, you know, me as a single mother
1504
01:29:32.119 --> 01:29:35.079
with two kids and really not much of the support system.
1505
01:29:35.199 --> 01:29:38.560
And so I was. I was tickled to death. So
1506
01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:42.880
I uh as things. As things progressed the house, I
1507
01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:45.319
purchased it. In March. The kids had eight more weeks
1508
01:29:45.319 --> 01:29:48.079
of school left, so I decided to do some renovations
1509
01:29:48.159 --> 01:29:51.640
on the house prior to moving in. In the summer months.
1510
01:29:51.680 --> 01:29:53.479
I was going to have the kids finish their last
1511
01:29:53.479 --> 01:29:55.439
two months of school and their schools that they were
1512
01:29:55.479 --> 01:29:59.319
already in and then let them have time to make
1513
01:29:59.359 --> 01:30:03.199
friends in the nameihborhood and then start their new school
1514
01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:05.399
year at the very beginning, which would be easier than
1515
01:30:05.479 --> 01:30:10.119
dropping them in the middle. So we were doing the renovations,
1516
01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:12.560
and it just so happened that we spent a total
1517
01:30:12.600 --> 01:30:16.399
of two nights there and never moved in. It was
1518
01:30:16.680 --> 01:30:20.399
that bad the very first night. And let me just
1519
01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:23.520
back up to the closing really quick, because this also
1520
01:30:23.680 --> 01:30:29.359
goes into the omnipresent what happened next. But the people
1521
01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:32.359
that were going to sell us the house were very
1522
01:30:32.439 --> 01:30:35.479
very late getting there. And I'm mentioning that because I'm
1523
01:30:35.479 --> 01:30:38.000
going to go back to it as we move forward.
1524
01:30:39.359 --> 01:30:41.840
And I found out that it wasn't true that they
1525
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:45.520
didn't relocate. They simply moved fifteen minutes away to move
1526
01:30:45.560 --> 01:30:48.279
in with her parents, and they were at the same
1527
01:30:48.399 --> 01:30:51.359
job that they had been working. So I just thought,
1528
01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:54.800
you know, oh, well, you know, maybe they had financial
1529
01:30:54.800 --> 01:30:56.960
problems or something. And I was just thrilled to have
1530
01:30:57.239 --> 01:30:59.119
the house. And the one thing was is I kept
1531
01:30:59.159 --> 01:31:02.319
trying to make eye contact with the woman, and she
1532
01:31:02.399 --> 01:31:05.880
kept staring at her feet, and I kept even lowering
1533
01:31:05.920 --> 01:31:09.079
my head down trying to get in her view. And
1534
01:31:09.119 --> 01:31:11.239
I was telling her that I was going to take
1535
01:31:11.279 --> 01:31:14.000
the cream colored carpet out and put in wooden flooring,
1536
01:31:14.119 --> 01:31:17.560
because you know that color wouldn't go well with kids.
1537
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:19.920
And she says, well, that's what we wanted to do,
1538
01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:22.600
and she's kind of shuffling her feet, and of course
1539
01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:25.199
I found out why later, which I'll tell you as
1540
01:31:25.199 --> 01:31:28.119
we moved forward a little bit. So the very first
1541
01:31:28.199 --> 01:31:30.239
night that we went over there, after we had gotten
1542
01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:34.520
the keys, I'm preparing tacos in the kitchen and all
1543
01:31:34.520 --> 01:31:37.399
of a sudden my daughter comes in, and she's thirteen
1544
01:31:37.399 --> 01:31:40.359
at the time. She comes into the kitchen and she says,
1545
01:31:40.399 --> 01:31:43.239
what did you want? And I said I didn't call you,
1546
01:31:43.279 --> 01:31:46.000
and she said, yes, you did. You called me twice.
1547
01:31:46.199 --> 01:31:48.600
I answered you that I was coming, and so what
1548
01:31:48.640 --> 01:31:51.279
did you want? And I said, no, I swear on
1549
01:31:51.359 --> 01:31:53.279
my life I didn't tell you you'd call you. And
1550
01:31:53.279 --> 01:31:55.119
she says, yes, you did, and I said, well, you know,
1551
01:31:55.159 --> 01:31:56.800
I heard you say that you were coming, but I
1552
01:31:56.800 --> 01:31:59.199
thought you were talking to your brother. And all of
1553
01:31:59.199 --> 01:32:02.560
a sudden, my son comes in, peering in underneath her arm,
1554
01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:05.000
and she he says, Mommy, I heard you call her too.
1555
01:32:05.399 --> 01:32:08.720
So here these things had enough of an intelligence about
1556
01:32:08.760 --> 01:32:13.039
them that right off the bat, they knew my children's names,
1557
01:32:13.720 --> 01:32:16.880
they could mimic their voices, they could mimic my voice,
1558
01:32:16.880 --> 01:32:19.399
and they knew that I was the mommy lady, so
1559
01:32:19.960 --> 01:32:23.439
right off the bat, and I then rationalized it, Oh, well,
1560
01:32:23.520 --> 01:32:26.000
you know, Brittany's a popular name. Maybe there was some
1561
01:32:26.079 --> 01:32:29.479
other mother it's dinner time out front calling for her
1562
01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:31.880
Brittany to come home, and you know you'll meet that
1563
01:32:31.920 --> 01:32:37.479
person and make friends. So we left. Very next day,
1564
01:32:37.520 --> 01:32:40.520
I come back and all of the lights were on
1565
01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:43.319
in the house. I come in, I go upstairs to
1566
01:32:43.319 --> 01:32:45.920
put my purse down, and I'm noticing first that the
1567
01:32:46.039 --> 01:32:49.640
light is on inside of the oven, and I thought
1568
01:32:49.680 --> 01:32:52.800
to myself, how odd is that. Maybe one of the
1569
01:32:52.880 --> 01:32:55.840
kids bumped something, or maybe I bumped something. And then
1570
01:32:55.840 --> 01:33:00.560
I'm noticing that the overhead awning on, the over the
1571
01:33:00.600 --> 01:33:03.000
stove is on, the ceiling light is on, and I
1572
01:33:03.039 --> 01:33:04.960
started to turn off the lights, and as I went
1573
01:33:05.000 --> 01:33:08.439
through the house, of all of the rooms, every single
1574
01:33:08.760 --> 01:33:10.840
light that could have been turned on in that house
1575
01:33:11.359 --> 01:33:13.720
was turned on, and I had to shut them all off,
1576
01:33:13.760 --> 01:33:16.279
So I just assumed that maybe somebody had a key
1577
01:33:16.920 --> 01:33:19.399
there was the house sold so fast that they the
1578
01:33:19.479 --> 01:33:22.479
family might have left some neighbor with a key to
1579
01:33:22.520 --> 01:33:25.000
look over the house, and that they might have come
1580
01:33:25.000 --> 01:33:27.960
in and turned the lights on, or that another realtor
1581
01:33:28.000 --> 01:33:32.000
came through with somebody not realizing that it had sold
1582
01:33:32.039 --> 01:33:34.960
that fast, and again left the lights on. So I
1583
01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:38.680
went across the street to the neighbors and introduced myself
1584
01:33:38.720 --> 01:33:41.439
and made mention about the lights, and they said, well,
1585
01:33:41.520 --> 01:33:43.920
you know, we took our walk last night and we
1586
01:33:44.000 --> 01:33:47.039
noticed that the lights and the walkway were on, but
1587
01:33:47.079 --> 01:33:50.279
there weren't any lights on in the house, and so
1588
01:33:50.359 --> 01:33:52.279
I thought, well, you know, those are solar lights and
1589
01:33:52.319 --> 01:33:54.359
they come on when it gets dark enough. So I,
1590
01:33:54.720 --> 01:33:56.279
you know, I told them, I said, well, look, I've
1591
01:33:56.319 --> 01:33:59.399
purchased the place to you. They verified that they didn't
1592
01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:01.720
know of anybody that had a key, and I made mention,
1593
01:34:01.960 --> 01:34:03.960
you know, that I was going to be doing some
1594
01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:06.600
work and that if they would please call me if
1595
01:34:06.600 --> 01:34:09.039
they noticed anybody in the yard or around the house
1596
01:34:09.159 --> 01:34:10.800
when I'm not there, and I left them with my
1597
01:34:10.840 --> 01:34:14.399
phone number. So I ended up finishing up some things
1598
01:34:14.399 --> 01:34:17.920
in the house and I left the very when I
1599
01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:20.680
left that day, and I'm mentioning this because it's the
1600
01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:25.720
lock thing. I went to lock the dead bolt of
1601
01:34:25.800 --> 01:34:27.920
the lock, and I put the key in, and I
1602
01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:30.760
couldn't get it to turn. And I kept opening the
1603
01:34:30.760 --> 01:34:33.119
door and reclosing it and pulling it out a little bit,
1604
01:34:33.119 --> 01:34:36.199
and finally I just opened the door and locked the
1605
01:34:36.279 --> 01:34:38.760
knob lock from the inside and shut it and figured,
1606
01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:40.039
you know, I've got to get to pick up my
1607
01:34:40.119 --> 01:34:42.119
kids at school. I'm not even going to bother to
1608
01:34:42.119 --> 01:34:46.720
do the dead bolt. And I left. But the next morning,
1609
01:34:46.760 --> 01:34:48.880
when I came back, I went to put my key
1610
01:34:49.079 --> 01:34:52.640
into the lock, and the door just pushed open, and
1611
01:34:52.680 --> 01:34:54.840
I thought, oh, no, you know it's been opened all
1612
01:34:55.119 --> 01:34:57.760
it's you know, hasn't even Maybe the reason why I
1613
01:34:57.760 --> 01:34:59.800
couldn't get the dead bolt to work was because it
1614
01:34:59.840 --> 01:35:02.520
was lined up in the door jam correctly, and now
1615
01:35:03.079 --> 01:35:05.279
anybody could have come up and just pushed it open,
1616
01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:09.079
because now it's just opening without me even turning the knob.
1617
01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:13.960
So I that particular days I'm walking around the house,
1618
01:35:14.039 --> 01:35:16.720
I'm opening windows and things like that because I'm getting
1619
01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:20.319
ready to paint the ceiling, and I noticed that the
1620
01:35:20.359 --> 01:35:23.680
lock was undone on the glass sliding glass door. The
1621
01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:27.199
actual pin was pulled out and was dangling to the side,
1622
01:35:27.239 --> 01:35:30.079
and I thought to myself, now I remember that that
1623
01:35:30.800 --> 01:35:33.159
that was locked, but you know, maybe one of the
1624
01:35:33.239 --> 01:35:38.079
kids ran back and pulled it open and I didn't notice.
1625
01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:41.479
But when I went down into the garage, also the
1626
01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:44.439
double doors that would pull up they were unlocked, and
1627
01:35:44.520 --> 01:35:47.239
I thought, again, you know, I'm a female. I always
1628
01:35:47.239 --> 01:35:49.520
had one of those clicking things on my advisor that
1629
01:35:49.640 --> 01:35:53.239
opens the garage and closes it, and these were manuals.
1630
01:35:53.279 --> 01:35:57.439
So maybe I unlocked and thinking I was locking them.
1631
01:35:57.479 --> 01:36:00.199
But then what caught my eye was the door to
1632
01:36:00.399 --> 01:36:06.359
the workshop. There were boxes stacked up against that door,
1633
01:36:06.600 --> 01:36:11.680
literally three feet out and up to my chin. So
1634
01:36:12.760 --> 01:36:15.600
when I noticed that the chain was dangling to the
1635
01:36:15.640 --> 01:36:18.039
side of that door, it hit me that there's no
1636
01:36:18.199 --> 01:36:21.880
way that anybody that could have happened. If somebody had
1637
01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:23.399
done that, they would have had to have been on
1638
01:36:23.439 --> 01:36:25.680
the inside of the house. They would have had to
1639
01:36:25.720 --> 01:36:28.960
have moved all of the boxes away, opened the door,
1640
01:36:29.000 --> 01:36:32.359
unlocked the door, and pushed all of the boxes back.
1641
01:36:32.840 --> 01:36:34.760
So this, of course kind of freaked me out. I
1642
01:36:34.800 --> 01:36:37.319
opened the garage door went back out off. I go
1643
01:36:37.520 --> 01:36:40.760
back across the street to the neighbors and I told them,
1644
01:36:40.800 --> 01:36:44.199
I said, look, you know, the doors were unlocked today
1645
01:36:44.319 --> 01:36:47.119
at the house. And the wife comes forward and she says,
1646
01:36:47.119 --> 01:36:49.479
I'm not trying to be a nosy daghbor, but I
1647
01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:53.000
noticed when you left yesterday that you actually doubled back
1648
01:36:53.000 --> 01:36:56.119
from your car and shook the door to make sure
1649
01:36:56.159 --> 01:36:58.680
that it was secure on the front door. And I
1650
01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:04.039
had not even remembered doing that. So I thanked him
1651
01:37:04.079 --> 01:37:07.119
and again said, you know, if you do notice anybody around,
1652
01:37:07.159 --> 01:37:09.359
call the police and then call me this time because
1653
01:37:09.399 --> 01:37:12.880
I've got furniture being delivered and things. I'm getting ready
1654
01:37:12.920 --> 01:37:15.479
to have people come and do work on the house
1655
01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:18.039
to get it ready. And they agreed to do that,
1656
01:37:18.159 --> 01:37:20.359
but just to move forward because I know that we
1657
01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:25.319
aren't on some time constraints. Several of the things that
1658
01:37:25.479 --> 01:37:27.840
happened our is that I was not able to keep
1659
01:37:27.880 --> 01:37:33.039
workers in the house. I had four different workers. Only
1660
01:37:33.079 --> 01:37:35.119
one of them was able to stay and do the
1661
01:37:35.119 --> 01:37:37.279
work because he was stoned all the time and he
1662
01:37:37.399 --> 01:37:40.560
carried his monkeys of his own on his back. And
1663
01:37:40.600 --> 01:37:42.960
there were several other things that had happened to in
1664
01:37:43.000 --> 01:37:45.600
the house that I was no longer bringing my children
1665
01:37:45.640 --> 01:37:49.199
back at that time. My dog. The very last night
1666
01:37:49.279 --> 01:37:51.840
that we slept there, my son woke up with bite
1667
01:37:51.880 --> 01:37:55.039
marks on his legs, and my dog was with us
1668
01:37:55.079 --> 01:37:56.880
but would not go into the house. I had to
1669
01:37:56.920 --> 01:38:01.359
carry her in, and I saw a demon night literally
1670
01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:04.920
going down the hallway towards my children where they were
1671
01:38:04.920 --> 01:38:08.760
sleeping in the room. And my daughter also confirmed that
1672
01:38:08.800 --> 01:38:11.960
she didn't sleep well that night, that she felt like
1673
01:38:12.000 --> 01:38:14.399
something was standing in the doorway staring at her all
1674
01:38:14.479 --> 01:38:16.920
night long. But the bite marks on my son's legs
1675
01:38:17.399 --> 01:38:19.479
couldn't have been done by my dog. For one thing,
1676
01:38:19.560 --> 01:38:23.439
she wasn't prone to biting. But they were smaller than
1677
01:38:23.479 --> 01:38:25.600
her mouth would have been, but not as small as
1678
01:38:25.680 --> 01:38:29.119
like a rat, like maybe the size of a jack
1679
01:38:29.199 --> 01:38:32.600
Russell terrier or something like that, that size bite, but
1680
01:38:32.680 --> 01:38:35.920
you could literally count the teeth. They were purple, and
1681
01:38:36.640 --> 01:38:39.239
they happened during the night, so he didn't even realize
1682
01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:42.800
that he had them until I pointed them out, so
1683
01:38:46.479 --> 01:38:50.640
I didn't take them back until I had multiple denight.
1684
01:38:50.720 --> 01:38:53.920
I literally sat down. Well, just to back up a
1685
01:38:53.920 --> 01:38:57.319
little bit, there was the third worker was a friend
1686
01:38:57.319 --> 01:39:00.880
of mine's cousin, and because I couldn't keep any of
1687
01:39:00.920 --> 01:39:03.199
the rest of them, one guy even bolted. He left
1688
01:39:03.199 --> 01:39:05.399
his Dewault tools and never came back even to be
1689
01:39:05.439 --> 01:39:07.960
paid or pick up his Dwalt tools. And then his
1690
01:39:08.039 --> 01:39:11.279
phone was disconnected, so I couldn't reach out to him,
1691
01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:16.239
so I tried to do that. And so the third
1692
01:39:16.279 --> 01:39:19.640
one was a friend of mine's cousin, and he is
1693
01:39:20.239 --> 01:39:23.079
there while I'm there, and I'm painting in the hallway,
1694
01:39:23.079 --> 01:39:25.079
and all of a sudden, I turn and I notice
1695
01:39:25.720 --> 01:39:28.840
coming up the stairs there's this young man and he's
1696
01:39:28.920 --> 01:39:33.119
dressed in a white Oxford shirt. He has on denim jeans,
1697
01:39:33.239 --> 01:39:36.399
penny loafers, no socks, kind of eighties style, hair parted
1698
01:39:36.439 --> 01:39:39.159
down the middle and feathered back, and he had this
1699
01:39:39.359 --> 01:39:44.199
very very ruddy complexion, like red and looked to his face.
1700
01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:48.359
And I remember turning to him and I said, did
1701
01:39:48.399 --> 01:39:52.600
you knock? I thought it was some disoriented person wandering in,
1702
01:39:52.840 --> 01:39:55.279
or maybe they knocked, and I hadn't heard them. And
1703
01:39:55.439 --> 01:39:58.760
they are walking in the house, and all of a sudden,
1704
01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:01.359
I hear Bobby and the other room say, no, I
1705
01:40:01.439 --> 01:40:04.199
must have dropped something. He thought I was talking to him,
1706
01:40:04.640 --> 01:40:08.960
and when I looked back, the man was there was
1707
01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:12.119
nothing there, but I could see this waffling, this energetic
1708
01:40:12.199 --> 01:40:15.319
waffling to the air, so I knew that something was
1709
01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:18.239
still there. And at that time, I'm like, Okay, well
1710
01:40:18.439 --> 01:40:21.119
there's a ghost in the house. That's who's been turning
1711
01:40:21.159 --> 01:40:23.680
on and off the water, turning on and off the lights.
1712
01:40:24.079 --> 01:40:26.840
That's who's been opening and closing doors. That's who's been,
1713
01:40:27.279 --> 01:40:29.560
you know, creating all of these issues that we've been
1714
01:40:29.560 --> 01:40:32.000
having in the house. And I just need to get
1715
01:40:32.039 --> 01:40:36.079
someone to come and clear the house. So that that day,
1716
01:40:36.119 --> 01:40:39.000
I ended up leaving to go pick up my kids
1717
01:40:39.039 --> 01:40:41.720
at school, and I get this call from Bobby, who
1718
01:40:41.840 --> 01:40:44.720
is still in the house, and he's like, I have
1719
01:40:44.760 --> 01:40:47.079
to leave. I have to leave right now. There's something
1720
01:40:47.079 --> 01:40:49.680
about this house that I've never experienced before, and I
1721
01:40:49.760 --> 01:40:54.560
have to leave. And click the line dropped. So he left,
1722
01:40:54.560 --> 01:40:56.600
and about an hour later I catch up with him
1723
01:40:56.600 --> 01:40:59.199
and he's like, oh, well, it was nothing, but I'd
1724
01:40:59.319 --> 01:41:02.000
rather be there, you know, when you're there. He didn't
1725
01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:05.479
really want to talk about it, and then he never
1726
01:41:05.560 --> 01:41:08.199
came back. So I asked my friend at work. I said, look,
1727
01:41:08.239 --> 01:41:10.680
you know I don't know what happened. I think something
1728
01:41:10.760 --> 01:41:14.279
paranormal might have happened at the house when Bobby was there,
1729
01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:17.319
would you ask him? And she agreed to do it.
1730
01:41:17.439 --> 01:41:19.600
So it was fourth of July and he had come
1731
01:41:19.640 --> 01:41:21.359
to her house. He had a few beers. He was
1732
01:41:21.399 --> 01:41:24.960
feeling a little talkative, and she asked him, She said,
1733
01:41:24.960 --> 01:41:27.640
what happened? You know, whatever happened at Lynn's house? Why
1734
01:41:27.680 --> 01:41:30.680
did you not go back? And he said, I am
1735
01:41:30.720 --> 01:41:33.000
so sorry. He said, Lynn is such a nice lady.
1736
01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:35.560
But that house, that house's words that I can't stay
1737
01:41:35.600 --> 01:41:37.720
on the radio. But it starts with an F. It's
1738
01:41:37.760 --> 01:41:40.600
four letters, well six letters because you put an ed
1739
01:41:40.800 --> 01:41:44.079
on it and then up. And then he went on
1740
01:41:44.199 --> 01:41:47.319
to tell her that as he was sitting in the
1741
01:41:47.399 --> 01:41:50.800
room that he was going to place the tongue and
1742
01:41:50.800 --> 01:41:53.439
grew flooring in with adhesaid. So he had a trowl,
1743
01:41:53.840 --> 01:41:56.920
a mallet and a block of wood to tap the
1744
01:41:57.720 --> 01:41:59.840
tongue and grew flooring in. And he had just put
1745
01:41:59.840 --> 01:42:02.680
a piece in and he was reaching for his mallet
1746
01:42:03.199 --> 01:42:06.720
and it was gone. And he was on this rolling
1747
01:42:06.800 --> 01:42:10.359
garden seat, so he thought that he was he had
1748
01:42:10.439 --> 01:42:13.119
rolled over them. So he's looking and he's scooting and
1749
01:42:13.119 --> 01:42:15.960
they're not there. And he looks off over his left
1750
01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:18.000
hand shoulder and he sees right in front of the
1751
01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:21.359
bedroom door, lined up in a row, three of them,
1752
01:42:21.399 --> 01:42:25.239
just paralleling each other, were the block, the trowel, and
1753
01:42:25.439 --> 01:42:29.439
the mallet. And of course this spooks him and he's like,
1754
01:42:29.960 --> 01:42:31.880
you know, I know that I didn't get up and
1755
01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:35.159
do that. But so then he started rationalizing. He thought
1756
01:42:35.159 --> 01:42:37.960
that I had come back, that I had snuck into
1757
01:42:37.960 --> 01:42:40.359
the room to play a joke on him, and that
1758
01:42:40.560 --> 01:42:43.359
I had moved his tools. So he gets up, he's
1759
01:42:43.439 --> 01:42:46.239
looking out in the hallway. He's calling for me, and
1760
01:42:46.279 --> 01:42:48.640
there's no answer, and of course he's feeling a little
1761
01:42:48.640 --> 01:42:51.520
weird and he's like, well, maybe I don't know what happened.
1762
01:42:51.560 --> 01:42:55.319
But he just picked up the tools and decided to
1763
01:42:55.319 --> 01:42:58.800
sit back down and continue working. However, this time, because
1764
01:42:58.800 --> 01:43:01.279
he felt a little uneasy, turned the overhead light on,
1765
01:43:01.880 --> 01:43:05.279
and he had a battery operated transistor radio that he
1766
01:43:05.399 --> 01:43:07.760
turned on to play music. And as soon as he
1767
01:43:07.800 --> 01:43:10.399
sits back down and goes to put an additional piece
1768
01:43:10.399 --> 01:43:13.880
of that tongue and grew flooring in, his radio shuts off.
1769
01:43:14.119 --> 01:43:16.760
Then the light shuts itself off, and then he can
1770
01:43:16.800 --> 01:43:19.640
hear the tools dragging behind him, and they lined up
1771
01:43:19.720 --> 01:43:22.720
right in front of that door, exactly the way that
1772
01:43:23.239 --> 01:43:25.000
he had found them before. And he said that he
1773
01:43:25.039 --> 01:43:28.840
couldn't get out of the house fast enough. So I
1774
01:43:28.960 --> 01:43:31.199
was able to find out why I wasn't able to
1775
01:43:31.319 --> 01:43:35.239
keep workers. Some of the details of what happened in
1776
01:43:35.319 --> 01:43:38.199
that house was that a friend of mine standing next
1777
01:43:38.239 --> 01:43:40.880
to me in the kitchen actually that day that the
1778
01:43:40.880 --> 01:43:43.319
tools were moving. I'll go back and I'll share this
1779
01:43:43.399 --> 01:43:45.840
part of the story. A little bit of a spoil alert,
1780
01:43:45.880 --> 01:43:49.079
but it's a good one because Bobby left in such
1781
01:43:49.079 --> 01:43:51.239
a hurry that day, he didn't secure the house. And
1782
01:43:51.279 --> 01:43:53.840
there was one window with an air conditioner in it
1783
01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:56.079
that needed to be pulled inside so that the window
1784
01:43:56.119 --> 01:43:59.159
could be closed. Because they weren't the kind of windows
1785
01:43:59.159 --> 01:44:01.199
that you pulled up and down. They were the crank
1786
01:44:01.319 --> 01:44:04.319
windows that you would crank and they would The windows
1787
01:44:04.359 --> 01:44:08.279
were vertical and they would turn vertically in and out.
1788
01:44:08.640 --> 01:44:12.279
So the air conditioner had a large opened area over
1789
01:44:12.319 --> 01:44:14.399
the top of it where bugs and things could come in.
1790
01:44:14.479 --> 01:44:17.880
It was a Friday. I wasn't coming back until Tuesday.
1791
01:44:17.960 --> 01:44:20.680
I was a nurse working a baler shift on the weekend,
1792
01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:23.920
so I would work midnight, Saturday and Sunday night twelve
1793
01:44:23.960 --> 01:44:25.680
hour shift so that I could be home with my
1794
01:44:25.800 --> 01:44:29.920
kids Monday through Friday to take them to be a
1795
01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:32.800
stay at home mom, and then soccer mom on Saturdays.
1796
01:44:33.119 --> 01:44:35.680
So I wasn't going back until Tuesdays. So I asked
1797
01:44:35.680 --> 01:44:37.880
my friend next door. I said, Ellen, I said, would
1798
01:44:37.920 --> 01:44:42.359
you mind going with me to the house. The windows
1799
01:44:42.399 --> 01:44:45.199
were left open, it's not secured. I need to have
1800
01:44:45.319 --> 01:44:47.520
help pulling in an air conditioner. And she agreed to
1801
01:44:47.520 --> 01:44:50.000
go with me. So as we're driving there, I'm telling
1802
01:44:50.000 --> 01:44:52.279
her the story about what I had seen that day
1803
01:44:52.279 --> 01:44:54.399
with the young man coming up the stairs, and I
1804
01:44:54.439 --> 01:44:56.600
said to her, I said, do you believe in ghosts?
1805
01:44:56.640 --> 01:44:58.840
And she says, oh, yeah, yeah, hell yeah, I believe
1806
01:44:58.880 --> 01:45:01.319
in ghosts. I told her. I said, well, if you're
1807
01:45:01.399 --> 01:45:04.000
uncomfortable when we get there, I appreciate you going with me.
1808
01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:06.760
If you're uncomfortable when we get there, I'll go across
1809
01:45:06.800 --> 01:45:08.479
the street and see if I can get the neighbor's
1810
01:45:08.600 --> 01:45:10.960
husband to come and help me. And she said, oh, no,
1811
01:45:11.319 --> 01:45:12.880
you know, I don't have a problem with it. So
1812
01:45:12.960 --> 01:45:15.800
when we pulled into the house, I had the problem
1813
01:45:15.800 --> 01:45:17.880
with the lock where I couldn't get the key out.
1814
01:45:17.920 --> 01:45:20.399
I couldn't get it to turn and finally got it open.
1815
01:45:20.439 --> 01:45:23.479
So Ellen is standing in the foyer and she says
1816
01:45:23.479 --> 01:45:25.920
to me, well, I'm struggling with this key. She's like
1817
01:45:26.159 --> 01:45:28.479
ha ha. She's like, you're not going to leave me
1818
01:45:28.560 --> 01:45:30.960
here and let the boogeyman get me, are you? And
1819
01:45:31.000 --> 01:45:33.960
they targeted her, so you don't want to mock them
1820
01:45:34.239 --> 01:45:37.600
because you will regret it. They will target you again.
1821
01:45:37.640 --> 01:45:40.600
They have an intelligence about them. So what had happened
1822
01:45:40.640 --> 01:45:42.119
was she and I went and we pulled the air
1823
01:45:42.119 --> 01:45:44.920
conditioner in from the window, and then we went into
1824
01:45:44.920 --> 01:45:47.479
the kitchen, and of course I was proud she hadn't
1825
01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:49.439
been there before. I wanted to kind of show her
1826
01:45:49.439 --> 01:45:51.880
around a little bit. And we had gone into the
1827
01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:55.279
kitchen and I had ordered these hand carved wooden Morgan
1828
01:45:55.359 --> 01:45:57.960
horse heads, these brown Morgan horse heads, to go in
1829
01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:00.600
my daughter's bedroom, because she wanted to have a wild
1830
01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:04.439
horse theme to draper balances over her windows. So Ellen's
1831
01:46:04.479 --> 01:46:06.479
holding one in each hand, and all of a sudden,
1832
01:46:06.479 --> 01:46:08.760
I hear this sound that I had heard once before
1833
01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:11.439
when a demon entered the room, and it sounded like
1834
01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:15.079
an energetic buzzing sound, almost like a didgery do that
1835
01:46:15.359 --> 01:46:18.159
wah wah buzzing kind of sound is the best way
1836
01:46:18.199 --> 01:46:20.319
that I can describe it. And when I turned to
1837
01:46:20.439 --> 01:46:22.800
kind of look to see where the noise was coming from,
1838
01:46:22.920 --> 01:46:27.039
there was this ecnoplasmic missing wall just moving in on us.
1839
01:46:27.279 --> 01:46:29.640
And I didn't say anything because I figured I'm the
1840
01:46:29.640 --> 01:46:31.520
only one hearing it. I'm the only one seeing this.
1841
01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:34.239
And all of a sudden, Ellen says to me, what's
1842
01:46:34.279 --> 01:46:36.319
that sound? And I said to her, I said what
1843
01:46:36.720 --> 01:46:39.560
can you hear that too? And she said, yes, what
1844
01:46:39.760 --> 01:46:42.800
is it? And she immediately started screaming. She dropped the
1845
01:46:42.800 --> 01:46:45.279
horse heads down on the counter and she started grabbing
1846
01:46:45.279 --> 01:46:47.159
her shirt. She said, what is it? What is it?
1847
01:46:47.199 --> 01:46:49.720
Is it a spider bite? It burns, it burns. And
1848
01:46:49.720 --> 01:46:52.159
when I lifted up her shirt, she had a four
1849
01:46:52.199 --> 01:46:54.960
and a half inch claw mark between her shoulder blades,
1850
01:46:55.000 --> 01:46:57.880
even underneath her bra strap and back where it connects.
1851
01:46:58.119 --> 01:47:01.600
And it was just welting and starting to beat blood. Yes,
1852
01:47:01.720 --> 01:47:05.319
I kid you not, just oh my gosh, So I
1853
01:47:05.399 --> 01:47:07.039
asked her. I said, oh, and what happened? I mean,
1854
01:47:07.039 --> 01:47:09.199
there's no furniture in the house. I thought maybe she
1855
01:47:09.239 --> 01:47:12.079
had scratched herself on the car door, corner of the
1856
01:47:12.119 --> 01:47:14.760
car door or something. And then she started screaming again
1857
01:47:15.079 --> 01:47:18.159
and it got her in the front, on her underneath
1858
01:47:18.199 --> 01:47:20.239
her belly button. Off to the left hand side. There
1859
01:47:20.319 --> 01:47:22.079
was now a two in like a two two and
1860
01:47:22.119 --> 01:47:24.760
a half inch claw mark. And I told her, I said,
1861
01:47:24.960 --> 01:47:28.119
we need to go. And I started calling on every
1862
01:47:28.199 --> 01:47:32.159
name that you can think of, for God, Jeho, Jesus, Mother, Mary,
1863
01:47:32.560 --> 01:47:35.840
I'll you name it. And that missed wall started to
1864
01:47:36.039 --> 01:47:39.159
move back, but yet it didn't completely leave. It kind
1865
01:47:39.199 --> 01:47:41.640
of hovered into the one of the door. There were
1866
01:47:41.680 --> 01:47:44.039
two doorways that entered into the kitchen, one from the
1867
01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:46.520
dining room into the breakfast nook and one from the
1868
01:47:46.520 --> 01:47:49.479
hallway into the kitchen. And it lingered in that one
1869
01:47:49.520 --> 01:47:52.199
going into the breakfast nook area and I'm like, look,
1870
01:47:52.319 --> 01:47:54.439
go to the car. I will lock the door. I'll
1871
01:47:54.439 --> 01:47:57.039
be right behind you. So she fled and I was
1872
01:47:57.039 --> 01:48:00.119
out the door about a minute behind her, and I'm like,
1873
01:48:00.319 --> 01:48:02.199
I am not going to get stuck with this lock.
1874
01:48:02.520 --> 01:48:04.199
I just so I just hand locked the knob and
1875
01:48:04.199 --> 01:48:06.239
shut the door. Because I figured if anybody wanted to
1876
01:48:06.279 --> 01:48:09.760
come in at that point, that that house could take
1877
01:48:09.800 --> 01:48:12.880
care of itself. So I ended up staying away from
1878
01:48:12.920 --> 01:48:16.199
there for a little while, and I started to doubt myself,
1879
01:48:16.239 --> 01:48:18.079
and I'm like, you know, it's such a nice house,
1880
01:48:18.119 --> 01:48:20.680
and maybe I imagined it. I mean, these things are
1881
01:48:20.720 --> 01:48:23.840
just so off the wall to ever, you know, happened
1882
01:48:23.880 --> 01:48:27.199
to somebody. And so I ended up going back, but
1883
01:48:27.279 --> 01:48:29.840
at that point I didn't bring my children back there
1884
01:48:29.880 --> 01:48:33.279
anymore until I had multiple blessings done on the house.
1885
01:48:33.399 --> 01:48:35.560
I had gone home that day for the first time,
1886
01:48:35.600 --> 01:48:38.239
and I had started going through the Yellow Pages and
1887
01:48:38.640 --> 01:48:40.880
lining up phone calls to make the next day and
1888
01:48:41.159 --> 01:48:44.199
paranormal groups to call the next day. And as I
1889
01:48:44.239 --> 01:48:46.840
was on the phone talking to my sister telling her
1890
01:48:46.880 --> 01:48:49.279
about what had happened the house, I overhear my daughter
1891
01:48:49.439 --> 01:48:51.479
after I got off the phone, and she said, Mommy,
1892
01:48:51.560 --> 01:48:54.119
she says, I know what those things are in that house,
1893
01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:57.000
the one that clauded Ellen. I know what it is.
1894
01:48:57.239 --> 01:48:59.520
And of course, as a parent, I don't want to
1895
01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:02.359
give too much information. I kind of wanted to see
1896
01:49:02.399 --> 01:49:04.640
which direction she was going to take with it, so
1897
01:49:04.720 --> 01:49:06.600
I said, well, what do you mean, and she said,
1898
01:49:06.640 --> 01:49:10.479
there is a wolf type dog that stands up on
1899
01:49:10.520 --> 01:49:14.479
its haunches with very dirty nails, that runs the stairs,
1900
01:49:14.520 --> 01:49:17.439
and that's what Claude ellen. And then she started talking
1901
01:49:17.479 --> 01:49:21.199
about the dead young man and started talking about the
1902
01:49:21.279 --> 01:49:23.520
other demon, all of which I had seen at this
1903
01:49:23.680 --> 01:49:27.560
point myself. So we even sat down and she drew
1904
01:49:27.560 --> 01:49:29.600
a picture of what she saw. I drew a picture
1905
01:49:29.640 --> 01:49:32.359
of what I saw. We compared it, and the similarities
1906
01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:35.800
were just unbelievable, I mean the detail and the similarities
1907
01:49:36.359 --> 01:49:39.560
of the things that were in those pictures. So she
1908
01:49:39.720 --> 01:49:41.720
verified that it was that it was there, and I
1909
01:49:41.760 --> 01:49:44.079
couldn't deny it. I said, you know, I've seen that too.
1910
01:49:44.119 --> 01:49:46.279
I said, I'm not taking you to the house anymore.
1911
01:49:46.279 --> 01:49:48.560
I'm pretty sure that we can do something about that.
1912
01:49:48.800 --> 01:49:51.279
And she had commented too that that's what she was
1913
01:49:51.319 --> 01:49:54.760
trying to tell me when you know that that's what
1914
01:49:54.840 --> 01:49:57.479
she saw when we were there getting ready to make
1915
01:49:57.520 --> 01:49:59.760
the offer in the house. And of course I didn't listen.
1916
01:50:00.039 --> 01:50:03.279
I should have, So they ended up not going back.
1917
01:50:03.319 --> 01:50:06.880
I ended up having multiple denominations, and I went through
1918
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:08.920
the Yellow Pages the next day, I mean I called
1919
01:50:09.000 --> 01:50:12.079
every church in the Yellow Pages and most of them
1920
01:50:12.119 --> 01:50:15.319
told me to contact the Catholics, because the Catholics do
1921
01:50:15.479 --> 01:50:18.239
those sorts of things. And I'm thinking to myself, but
1922
01:50:18.319 --> 01:50:20.720
you're the ones that you claim to be chosen, that
1923
01:50:20.760 --> 01:50:22.159
are the only ones that are going to make it
1924
01:50:22.199 --> 01:50:24.880
into Heaven. Wouldn't you want to have this opportunity to
1925
01:50:24.960 --> 01:50:27.520
prove your superiority, you know what I'm saying. I had
1926
01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:30.039
some people that told me that if I was attending
1927
01:50:30.079 --> 01:50:32.960
their church, that I wouldn't be having this problem. I
1928
01:50:33.000 --> 01:50:36.880
even had a couple of churches, actually very pompous, telling
1929
01:50:36.920 --> 01:50:39.279
me that if because I mentioned that I was a
1930
01:50:39.319 --> 01:50:42.399
single mother, thinking that, you know, that they that they
1931
01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:45.600
would realize that how helpless I kind of was, you know,
1932
01:50:45.840 --> 01:50:49.119
with two children, how frightening that must be. And they're like, well,
1933
01:50:50.319 --> 01:50:53.720
you know, implied that I was being promiscuous and that
1934
01:50:53.800 --> 01:50:56.960
I was drawing this into myself for some reason. And
1935
01:50:57.039 --> 01:50:58.920
I hadn't even been out on a date in four
1936
01:50:59.000 --> 01:51:01.680
years at that point. I was focusing on my kids.
1937
01:51:01.720 --> 01:51:05.039
I wasn't interested. I couldn't afford to it, you know,
1938
01:51:05.479 --> 01:51:10.760
I couldn't afford a babysitter. So anyway, I realized that
1939
01:51:10.800 --> 01:51:12.800
I know their slogan is what would Jesus do? And
1940
01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:15.000
Jesus would have helped me, but they're humans and they
1941
01:51:15.039 --> 01:51:17.119
were scared too, so I kind of let that go,
1942
01:51:17.720 --> 01:51:19.720
and I had to start reaching out to people that
1943
01:51:19.840 --> 01:51:22.840
actually knew me, because when you're talking about something this
1944
01:51:23.000 --> 01:51:27.359
off the wall, people will think you're crazy. So I
1945
01:51:27.439 --> 01:51:30.159
had to reach out to people. I first reached out
1946
01:51:30.159 --> 01:51:33.560
to an Episcopaian priest that had known me for seven
1947
01:51:33.680 --> 01:51:36.079
years of the ten years that I worked on my job,
1948
01:51:36.520 --> 01:51:38.760
so he knew me to be an excellent nurse, that
1949
01:51:38.800 --> 01:51:41.399
I was a reputable person, not a weirdo, and he
1950
01:51:41.479 --> 01:51:45.359
believed me. He told me that he used to remove
1951
01:51:45.439 --> 01:51:47.920
things like that from people's homes, that he didn't do
1952
01:51:47.960 --> 01:51:50.560
it anymore, but he knows that those sorts of things exist.
1953
01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:53.920
And he also referred me to the Catholic diocese, of
1954
01:51:53.960 --> 01:51:56.119
which I contacted and went all the way up to
1955
01:51:56.159 --> 01:52:00.560
the archbishop, only to be told that they that they
1956
01:52:00.600 --> 01:52:03.760
only do exorcisms on people. And I'm like, well, it's
1957
01:52:03.800 --> 01:52:08.039
not me, it's that house. Because when I would leave
1958
01:52:08.119 --> 01:52:11.279
that house to go back to the mobile home that
1959
01:52:11.359 --> 01:52:15.000
I had been living and there were no issues, everything
1960
01:52:15.119 --> 01:52:20.279
was fine there. It was that house. So anyway, I
1961
01:52:20.399 --> 01:52:25.199
moving forward, so many, so many things happened. I did
1962
01:52:25.239 --> 01:52:28.319
finally after having a paranormal group come up from Georgia
1963
01:52:28.359 --> 01:52:31.239
as well as a Presbyterian minister at the same time
1964
01:52:31.760 --> 01:52:34.560
clearing the house, I took my kids back. They started
1965
01:52:34.560 --> 01:52:38.800
getting attacked again. I ended up having to my mother
1966
01:52:38.840 --> 01:52:41.920
and I went back at one point when after it
1967
01:52:41.960 --> 01:52:43.840
had been put up for sale by owner and some
1968
01:52:43.920 --> 01:52:46.840
people were going to come, and the windows were covered
1969
01:52:46.880 --> 01:52:52.000
in flies. I mean thousands of full grown flies, no
1970
01:52:52.119 --> 01:52:56.560
evidence of maggots, eggs, nothing, and they had been in
1971
01:52:56.600 --> 01:52:59.880
there so long that they had left excrement all over
1972
01:53:00.239 --> 01:53:04.239
the molding around the windows that we were trying to
1973
01:53:04.239 --> 01:53:07.039
wipe off. I did finally find a couple that came
1974
01:53:07.119 --> 01:53:09.279
up from Florida, because I couldn't bring myself to sell
1975
01:53:09.319 --> 01:53:12.640
it to anybody with children, especially after seeing the couple
1976
01:53:12.680 --> 01:53:15.600
that did come with children and the kids talking about
1977
01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:19.720
the creepy room downstairs, so I knew that they had
1978
01:53:19.760 --> 01:53:22.600
also seen it. And so this couple had come from
1979
01:53:22.680 --> 01:53:26.399
Florida and we were upstairs signing papers, and as we
1980
01:53:26.399 --> 01:53:31.039
were leaving the house, I exited the double entry doors first.
1981
01:53:31.079 --> 01:53:34.600
I overhear the wife saying to the husband, why did
1982
01:53:34.640 --> 01:53:38.079
you push me? And he said I didn't push you,
1983
01:53:38.279 --> 01:53:40.520
and she said, yes, you did, and he said no,
1984
01:53:40.640 --> 01:53:43.079
I'm three steps back from you. I can't even reach you.
1985
01:53:43.479 --> 01:53:45.560
And she said, well, then I don't know what happened.
1986
01:53:45.600 --> 01:53:49.600
And I knew what happened. I knew that that wolf
1987
01:53:49.840 --> 01:53:54.840
demon shoved her because that was his domain, those stairs.
1988
01:53:54.920 --> 01:53:57.359
He would constantly run those So when they came out,
1989
01:53:58.239 --> 01:54:02.039
I couldn't with good conscience not say something I couldn't
1990
01:54:02.159 --> 01:54:04.760
have done due to people what I had done to me,
1991
01:54:05.319 --> 01:54:08.840
even though I understood why the people sold me the house.
1992
01:54:08.880 --> 01:54:11.159
You know, needed to sell the house to get away
1993
01:54:11.159 --> 01:54:14.439
from it. So I said to them, I said, do
1994
01:54:14.520 --> 01:54:18.079
you believe in ghosts? And both of them immediately cut
1995
01:54:18.119 --> 01:54:21.479
me off. No, we're Baptists. We don't discuss those sorts
1996
01:54:21.479 --> 01:54:24.279
of things. We don't entertain those sorts of things. They
1997
01:54:24.279 --> 01:54:28.399
don't exist in our world. We're protected. And I said, okay,
1998
01:54:29.000 --> 01:54:30.640
you know, I would have told them the truth if
1999
01:54:30.680 --> 01:54:33.560
they had asked me. They ended up moving out six
2000
01:54:33.600 --> 01:54:37.439
months later. I'm assuming that it was because of the
2001
01:54:37.479 --> 01:54:40.119
ghost the thing. I'm not for sure on that, but
2002
01:54:40.239 --> 01:54:43.039
they had paid. It was a cash buy on the house.
2003
01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:46.439
They were moving into it as their retirement home up
2004
01:54:46.439 --> 01:54:50.279
from Florida. They had no intention of moving from the house.
2005
01:54:50.319 --> 01:54:52.640
They planned on being there for many many years during
2006
01:54:52.640 --> 01:54:55.319
their retirement years. And now all of a sudden, six
2007
01:54:55.359 --> 01:54:59.520
months later, they're selling the house. I did follow through
2008
01:54:59.640 --> 01:55:03.039
and I contacted the people. This goes into the next book,
2009
01:55:03.079 --> 01:55:08.159
Domni Present What happened next? Who originally sold me the house?
2010
01:55:08.239 --> 01:55:11.600
And when I finally got ahold of them through the records,
2011
01:55:12.159 --> 01:55:13.960
I spoke to the wife and she said to me,
2012
01:55:14.039 --> 01:55:18.119
she said, we were late to that closing because when
2013
01:55:18.119 --> 01:55:20.640
I found out that you had children, I didn't want
2014
01:55:20.680 --> 01:55:24.439
to sell you the house. And then she started, I mean,
2015
01:55:24.439 --> 01:55:26.760
she was so apolled. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,
2016
01:55:26.800 --> 01:55:29.199
and I'm like, look, I just what happened. You know
2017
01:55:29.279 --> 01:55:31.800
what happened with you. I've already sold the house. I'm
2018
01:55:31.840 --> 01:55:35.239
out of it, but I wanted to know to validate
2019
01:55:35.399 --> 01:55:37.039
some of what I went through. And of course she
2020
01:55:37.159 --> 01:55:40.159
validated the bruising, the bite marks, the hair being pulled.
2021
01:55:40.199 --> 01:55:43.600
She had two children, one was six and one was four,
2022
01:55:44.239 --> 01:55:47.039
and the children would go to school and be asked
2023
01:55:47.079 --> 01:55:50.159
to draw pictures of their house. So they'd draw the
2024
01:55:50.159 --> 01:55:52.760
little stick people and the flower that's bigger than the house,
2025
01:55:53.159 --> 01:55:55.520
and then the house. But then on the other side
2026
01:55:55.600 --> 01:55:58.720
they would draw these stick figures of these very very
2027
01:55:58.840 --> 01:56:02.239
dark be looking things, and when the teachers and the
2028
01:56:02.319 --> 01:56:05.520
parents would ask what those were, they'd say that they
2029
01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:09.039
are the monsters that live downstairs in our house. And
2030
01:56:09.159 --> 01:56:11.600
the little girl would even talk to the mother about
2031
01:56:11.640 --> 01:56:16.439
the fact that that, you know, the things downstairs they
2032
01:56:16.479 --> 01:56:18.920
don't like me, you know, they don't want to play
2033
01:56:18.960 --> 01:56:21.359
with me. They don't like me, and they say, you know,
2034
01:56:21.520 --> 01:56:24.439
and she would show up with bruises and things, and
2035
01:56:24.479 --> 01:56:28.039
those people almost ended up in a divorce because of
2036
01:56:28.119 --> 01:56:32.119
the trickery that the spirits were playing in the house
2037
01:56:32.680 --> 01:56:37.439
where the husband would work midnights and he would be
2038
01:56:37.520 --> 01:56:40.600
gone so he would sleep during the daytime. During the daytime,
2039
01:56:41.039 --> 01:56:45.680
the lady worked her dayshift hours. But then the husband
2040
01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:49.279
would be awakened by tapping on the door and would
2041
01:56:49.319 --> 01:56:53.079
hear her voice, and then he would come out and assume,
2042
01:56:53.359 --> 01:56:55.880
you know, that she was playing a joke on him
2043
01:56:55.960 --> 01:56:58.720
or else he'd find the water running and he would
2044
01:56:58.760 --> 01:57:01.560
accuse her, and she'd use him and neither one had
2045
01:57:01.600 --> 01:57:04.960
turned it on. It was those things, and they literally
2046
01:57:05.920 --> 01:57:08.039
the children at one point asked if they could go
2047
01:57:08.119 --> 01:57:11.000
back and stay at the grandparents' house because of all
2048
01:57:11.039 --> 01:57:14.039
of the activity that was happening. And once they stayed
2049
01:57:14.039 --> 01:57:16.279
a couple of nights at the grandparents' house, they didn't
2050
01:57:16.279 --> 01:57:19.119
want to come back home, and then the parents ended
2051
01:57:19.199 --> 01:57:22.760
up following back home with many more things that had happened.
2052
01:57:23.319 --> 01:57:27.840
But in that book it also goes into the mental
2053
01:57:27.880 --> 01:57:30.119
health aspect of it, where I had gone back to
2054
01:57:30.159 --> 01:57:35.520
school to further my degree and came across patients with
2055
01:57:35.800 --> 01:57:37.840
attachments on them. And I don't know if we have
2056
01:57:38.319 --> 01:57:40.239
time to do that on this show, or if you
2057
01:57:40.279 --> 01:57:42.319
want me to go into a part two and come back,
2058
01:57:43.359 --> 01:57:45.079
or to go ahead and just keep going with it.
2059
01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:46.319
How would you like me to do it?
2060
01:57:46.880 --> 01:57:49.880
Well, excuse me, so sadly, we've only got about five
2061
01:57:49.920 --> 01:57:52.159
minutes left, so whatever you can wrap up in that
2062
01:57:52.199 --> 01:57:54.479
amount of time and then we'll have you back again
2063
01:57:54.720 --> 01:57:57.239
real soon to finish up on the books. So however
2064
01:57:57.279 --> 01:57:59.600
you want to do it, then okay.
2065
01:57:59.319 --> 01:58:02.279
That sounds great, and thank you so much. There's a
2066
01:58:02.279 --> 01:58:04.279
lot more detail to the second book.
2067
01:58:04.279 --> 01:58:07.079
With the family I'm just blown away.
2068
01:58:09.000 --> 01:58:11.239
I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I
2069
01:58:11.279 --> 01:58:13.920
don't have any enemies. I don't think, I mean the
2070
01:58:14.239 --> 01:58:17.640
insanity of it. I learned a lot, though, and because
2071
01:58:17.680 --> 01:58:20.000
of what I've learned, I've been able to help people,
2072
01:58:20.039 --> 01:58:23.279
at least I hope, so I hope that they feel helped.
2073
01:58:23.319 --> 01:58:25.199
But the thing is is that when I was placed
2074
01:58:25.239 --> 01:58:29.279
in this facility, there was a young girl in particularly,
2075
01:58:29.840 --> 01:58:32.520
there were eight nurses and a teacher that had gone
2076
01:58:32.560 --> 01:58:35.920
in and lay. This young lady came up and she
2077
01:58:36.000 --> 01:58:37.920
pointed at me and she said, you can help me.
2078
01:58:37.960 --> 01:58:40.319
I know you can't. Well, of course, in that moment,
2079
01:58:40.359 --> 01:58:43.239
I'm like, oh God, please, please don't be talking to me.
2080
01:58:43.840 --> 01:58:46.520
I wanted to be Lind the student nurse, not Lind
2081
01:58:46.520 --> 01:58:48.960
the weirdo that day. But it just so happened that
2082
01:58:49.039 --> 01:58:52.640
the teacher ushered us out and then placed me and
2083
01:58:52.720 --> 01:58:55.279
another nurse back in the intake area where the young
2084
01:58:55.319 --> 01:58:58.960
girl was. We literally had to sign papers that if
2085
01:58:59.000 --> 01:59:02.159
we got bitten or hit or anything happened to us,
2086
01:59:02.239 --> 01:59:05.880
that we wouldn't hold the facility responsible. So we're sitting
2087
01:59:05.880 --> 01:59:08.560
at these picnic tables that are bolted to the floor
2088
01:59:09.279 --> 01:59:11.800
and the young woman comes over and she starts telling
2089
01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:15.239
us about how she had been molested at ten years
2090
01:59:15.279 --> 01:59:18.960
old by her minister, and then her mother remarried at
2091
01:59:19.000 --> 01:59:21.520
fourteen and her stepfather starting to rape her. So she
2092
01:59:21.600 --> 01:59:24.720
ran away at sixteen and started doing devil worship and
2093
01:59:24.720 --> 01:59:28.079
that now she's hearing these twenty five different voices, and
2094
01:59:28.399 --> 01:59:30.159
I'm going to stop it at the end of her.
2095
01:59:30.279 --> 01:59:32.600
So it leaves kind of a cliffhanger a little bit there.
2096
01:59:33.239 --> 01:59:37.119
But the thing is is that they have segments of
2097
01:59:37.199 --> 01:59:39.119
things that they have to go to, like they'll have
2098
01:59:39.159 --> 01:59:41.880
a visit with their psychiatrist or their social worker, or
2099
01:59:41.880 --> 01:59:45.039
they have to go into groups for counseling and things
2100
01:59:45.079 --> 01:59:48.520
like that. And this woman, she came and sat down
2101
01:59:48.600 --> 01:59:51.600
with the nurse and I. We were charting at one
2102
01:59:51.640 --> 01:59:54.880
of the bolted down picnic tables and she sat down
2103
01:59:54.880 --> 01:59:56.920
with us, and I'm looking at her and she is
2104
01:59:57.720 --> 02:00:01.800
covered in claw marks. These claw marks resembled the claw
2105
02:00:01.840 --> 02:00:04.760
marks that I saw on my friend Ellen get as
2106
02:00:04.800 --> 02:00:07.079
she stood next to me in that house, and they
2107
02:00:07.079 --> 02:00:10.439
were all over her. She had on shorts and a
2108
02:00:10.479 --> 02:00:14.000
midriff like a tube top within little spaghetti straps, so
2109
02:00:14.119 --> 02:00:16.159
you could see her midriff, you could see her back,
2110
02:00:16.600 --> 02:00:18.920
and she had claw marks coming out of her ear,
2111
02:00:19.000 --> 02:00:21.399
coming out of her nose. She was even talking about
2112
02:00:21.640 --> 02:00:23.359
how one of them had a long nail and was
2113
02:00:23.399 --> 02:00:27.239
clawing the inside of her female parts, and the facility
2114
02:00:27.439 --> 02:00:30.520
was saying that they were self inflicted, and I'm like, uh,
2115
02:00:30.560 --> 02:00:33.199
there is no way that she would have to be
2116
02:00:33.279 --> 02:00:36.319
a contortionist to even reach her back in the way
2117
02:00:36.399 --> 02:00:38.800
that those claw marks and in the directions that they
2118
02:00:38.840 --> 02:00:42.399
were going. So when she got called away to her
2119
02:00:42.840 --> 02:00:46.520
appointment with her psychiatrists, as she got up to walk away,
2120
02:00:47.319 --> 02:00:52.319
it appeared as if she had clustered grape potato sized.
2121
02:00:52.960 --> 02:00:56.439
They were the size of potatoes. They were heads, disembodied
2122
02:00:56.479 --> 02:01:00.760
souls that had collected in a grape clustered formation over
2123
02:01:00.800 --> 02:01:04.000
each of her shoulders, almost like Santa Claus bags. They
2124
02:01:04.000 --> 02:01:07.199
could have literally filled a standard pillow case. That's how
2125
02:01:07.960 --> 02:01:11.000
how much there was. And I'm looking at her as
2126
02:01:11.039 --> 02:01:13.920
she's walking away, and I'm like, oh my god, she
2127
02:01:14.039 --> 02:01:16.720
really is here. In twenty five different voices, she's got
2128
02:01:16.760 --> 02:01:19.720
attachments on her and I'll stop it there.
2129
02:01:21.199 --> 02:01:23.960
Okay, Wow, I can't wait to have you back to
2130
02:01:24.000 --> 02:01:26.239
hear the rest of this, but Lynn, I want to
2131
02:01:26.239 --> 02:01:29.399
thank you for joining me here tonight, and I'll put
2132
02:01:29.479 --> 02:01:33.399
links your links in the show description and where they
2133
02:01:33.399 --> 02:01:35.279
can find your book and where they can find.
2134
02:01:35.119 --> 02:01:38.840
You, and thank you so very much for having me. Also,
2135
02:01:39.000 --> 02:01:41.039
when the link is available, I'll be happy to put
2136
02:01:41.079 --> 02:01:42.840
it out on all of my media, as well as
2137
02:01:42.880 --> 02:01:47.399
the one that i'd done previously. I don't know if
2138
02:01:47.399 --> 02:01:50.199
that one's ready yet for me to put out, but
2139
02:01:50.239 --> 02:01:53.119
I'll be happy to spread that all out. And I
2140
02:01:53.119 --> 02:01:55.640
appreciate the opportunity to be on here. So thank you
2141
02:01:55.680 --> 02:01:58.479
so very much, and congratulations on the baby Boy.
2142
02:01:58.560 --> 02:02:01.439
Oh thank you. Wait forward to it's got I think
2143
02:02:01.439 --> 02:02:03.279
it's about fourteen weeks left, so.
2144
02:02:03.840 --> 02:02:06.560
Oh wow, before we know it, so I can't wait.
2145
02:02:07.279 --> 02:02:09.319
All right, Well, thanks again, Lyn, I'm gonna go ahead
2146
02:02:09.359 --> 02:02:11.920
and get a song out of here. You've been listening
2147
02:02:11.960 --> 02:02:14.520
to everything out there on the Clyde Lewis Ground zero
2148
02:02:14.680 --> 02:02:17.960
