Haunted Spaghetti: When The Breadsticks Come With Footsteps

WEBVTT
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:37.280
What's up, Audibles?
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:44.640
Welcome back to the Oddity Shop, the podcast where we tell you creepy, odd, weird, strange, and bizarre stories from around the globe.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:50.799
I am your curator, Zachary, sitting here with the lovely curator Karae.
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.880
I knew you were gonna say Karae.
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.759
And you've been waiting for me to do it for so long I had to this time.
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.039
Because you used to always say that.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:58.960
You don't call me that much anymore.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:00:59.759
I know.
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:01.359
How are you, Kara Ree?
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.359
I'm great, Zachary.
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:04.319
How are you?
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:05.519
I am hot.
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.079
Actually, right now I'm cool.
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.400
I will say, so trade-offs, right?
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.359
It is much hotter.
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.200
I've finally made it to Arizona.
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:18.719
But when we used to record, I used to have to turn my window AC unit off because it made too much noise.
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.719
And now I got that whole house AC.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.280
So I'm no longer dying while recording.
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.680
I'm just dying every time I step outside.
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.120
And you wanted to be there.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.719
It really hasn't been too bad, I will say.
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:31.920
Like at night it's fine.
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:33.680
I've been going for like 6 30 walks.
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.840
No, we've been going out, you know, and you can go out for like five, 10 minutes at a time.
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.599
Today was definitely the hottest day I've been here at like 108.
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:42.560
Oh, today was Monday.
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:43.439
You worked anyway.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.480
So it's windy, which you would think helps.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:47.599
No, it does not.
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.280
No, it feels like an oven.
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:49.519
Yeah.
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.599
It's a hot the hot wind doesn't help it like no.
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.120
No, no, no, no, no.
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:56.239
Ay, ay, ay.
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.239
What's been going on with you though?
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.200
Um wow, we haven't recorded in so long.
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.760
I feel no, no, we had a nice little break.
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.159
And um, yeah, so I feel like we're all out of whack.
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:14.719
But I I guess I can give my horror story slash PSA to all of our little oddballs.
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.319
Y'all, it is grilling season and griddle season.
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.639
And let's just be careful because I forgot we haven't talked about this.
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:22.960
Yeah.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:31.439
Your girl literally is a couple weeks ago at this point, but I my husband made food on the griddle, and then whatever.
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.280
I was just outside sitting outside, and I'm like, let me clean it.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:36.639
So I always clean it.
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:41.199
First off, I primarily use the griddle, which is kind of like like a blackstone if you guys aren't familiar.
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:41.599
Yeah.
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.280
So I always like I primarily cook on it, I primarily clean it, whatever.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.680
So it's nothing that I'm not used to doing.
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.159
I don't know what happened, but I turned it on and it was like a gas explosion.
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:57.280
It was so high, I don't even know how I didn't burn the lights that are like hanging on my deck.
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.680
I fried a very decent portion of my hair.
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:09.439
I fried off pretty much the majority of my eyelashes on my left side and my eyebrow on my left side.
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.639
It was very traumatic and it smelled.
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:14.479
Okay, so a couple things.
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:21.120
The sound though was so loud that my husband could hear it like in the garage on the other side of the house.
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.319
I am one so proud.
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.479
I know you might not agree, but I think you handled it very, very, very well.
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.439
Like, because you and I were talking on the phone right before you went to clean it.
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:42.400
And the next day I like went to call you and you're like, hey, just so you know, like and it could have that could have and should have started a huge meltdown for a lot of reasons.
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.159
And I think you handled yourself very well.
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:45.280
Well, I cried a lot.
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.560
I did burn my face, but we had burn cream, so I put it on right away.
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:54.080
And I do have a weird discoloration like above my eyebrow, which I think is kind of just gonna skip.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.759
It's like my skin is like weird.
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:56.879
I don't know, but anyway.
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:58.960
It'll peel off like a sunburn eventually.
00:03:59.199 --> 00:03:59.840
I don't know.
00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:01.919
It doesn't look like it's gonna.
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:09.759
But anyway, uh, I cried a lot and I called off of work the next day because I didn't know what was I just was such in shock.
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:10.159
Right.
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:19.120
My poor husband had to like I literally sat on the floor like little kid as my husband just like cut pieces of my hair and like picked out all the dead as I was just face tapping.
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:20.560
My mom crying hysterically.
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:28.240
So anyway, I then spent$200 the next day on serums for my hair, like professional scissors that I could cut it all.
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:33.680
Because of course, my mother, who's a hairdresser, literally went out of town that night so I got horse, of course.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.560
And lash serums, eyebrow serums.
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.720
So that's my PSA.
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.160
Everybody be careful when lighting a griddle grill back up, just because you never know.
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:55.279
I think you did well given the circumstances, but I was up visiting my parents too, right after, and I like you sent me the picture of you from the night of, and I showed it to my mom.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.399
She goes, Oh my god, like poor Kara.
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:04.639
I sent it to my manager, and she was like, I can see the heartbreak in your face in the future because it's like mid.
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.519
I'm like crying because I went to send it to my mom.
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:09.279
That was a rough time.
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.240
Rough.
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:10.959
Okay.
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:12.639
Well, we're both hot.
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:13.040
Yeah.
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:13.519
Yeah.
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:14.079
Yeah.
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.079
What do we have for shop talk this week?
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.800
Um, I have a just a funny little comment on one of our.
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.160
Is this YouTube?
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.639
No, this is actually Facebook.
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.800
Gosh, it's usually it's always YouTube.
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:29.519
I know.
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.519
We've been getting some good crazy ones over.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:38.879
So it was on one of our reels for oh, it was our debate where we're going on about poltergeists.
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.800
Would you rather see the thing or feel the thing?
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.000
Yeah, so that episode.
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.879
And we're going back and forth and like we're really into it.
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:54.319
And I'm, you know, I'm gonna put you on blast, Larry Kell, because he commented with his smug little old face picture.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:59.279
This is the biggest waste of time I have seen in a long time.
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:00.879
You know what though, Larry?
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:06.879
You still sat through the whole video enough to figure out that it wasted your time and wasted even more of your time to comment on it.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.800
So thank you for the engagement, good sir.
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.000
Well, I commented back.
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.399
Larry Kell, thanks for being the best part of the internet with a smiley face.
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.879
He did not like it.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.279
Nor did he respond, I'm guessing.
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.480
No, he didn't like it.
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.199
He didn't respond, he did none of the things.
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.639
But Jack Diddley.
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:26.240
I thought it was really funny.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.480
Uh I I appreciate those kind of comments.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.800
I like those type comments, they make me laugh.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.000
So I just I don't know why those bring it's so bad.
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:43.759
I love all of the good comments and the good stuff that you guys do for us, but like sometimes I just really the haters just they bring me so much joy.
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:45.120
It's true, it's true.
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:45.920
I love it.
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.079
Okay, I've got I've got a very exciting shop talk after a very short shop talk.
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.920
Uh, and this is one my first one.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.680
Sorry guys, you're hearing this on every episode.
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.040
I am echoey again today.
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.600
It's because I'm in the new office and still don't have things on the walls, so our audio quality will get better.
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:07.040
And two, my god, did I get the biggest case of FOMO immediately after moving?
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.120
So we didn't talk much.
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:21.439
I don't think we actually talked about it on here at all, but our favorite haunted location that we've done a lot of work with Eloise Asylum in Westland, Michigan, closed down unexpectedly at the end of last year.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.959
And it was really sad.
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.319
It was very sad.
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.160
I don't think we need to get into any of that part of it, but let's get into the exciting part of it.
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.959
We're just devastated, yes.
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.560
Uh, they are back, they are coming back, they are reopening.
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.600
We have great friends who are running it.
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.360
And I've already started to plan my trips back so I can go hang out there.
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.519
Of course, you know, that was a big factor of me moving.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.560
I'm like, well, we're not gonna be able to work with Eloise anymore.
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.959
It kind of was, which is really funny.
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.600
That literally, like the day I land here.
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.480
Yeah, I didn't fly, I drove, but drove, but like the day you got there, you're like, Are you kidding me?
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:57.839
And I think it's hilarious.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.639
So Zach will be coming back for us to be able to do some stuff with them.
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.639
I mean, listen, my friends, you, family, those were big draws.
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.199
I'm not gonna undersell that, but uh Eloise.
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:10.560
Eloise just took you out.
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:11.680
Eloise, man.
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:17.680
It did because we have so many little ghosty friends there, and it made me so sad that we were never gonna get to say goodbye to them.
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.519
And no, we don't have to.
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.279
We'll see more of them than ever.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.120
Okay, so that's exciting.
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.839
Um, I think that's all the shop talk I've got.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.000
Do you have anything else or do you have a question for me?
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.439
I do have a question.
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:30.000
Perfect.
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:36.960
So, kind of speaking of like haunted, um, what's the weirdest place you've ever heard of being haunted?
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:38.960
Ooh, that's a good question.
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.120
Or maybe not place, maybe like object.
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.240
Have you heard of like a weird?
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:48.559
I'm trying to think because a lot of times it's like the super old places or whatever that you expect to be haunted, you know?
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:49.200
Yeah.
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.519
I think for me, what and I I don't know.
00:08:51.600 --> 00:09:02.320
I I'm not gonna think of a specific one, but for me, one of the things that always surprises me that are haunted, and it has it's such a stupid thing in my brain, but it's like really, really small residential houses.
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:03.200
Oh, really?
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:17.120
Because I, you know, it's like you can investigate the whole place in like five minutes, but it's like for me, it I I don't know why, but like when ghost hunters and they would go from these huge asylums or mining towns or whatever, and then they would be doing like a three-bedroom house.
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.639
And this is like old, old um ghost hunters.
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:25.120
Because you know, now now you have the big locations and the draws, but it'd be like no, you're yeah.
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.559
See, I'm so weird.
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:32.799
I think even though I've lived in those houses, like I don't I don't know why I find that weird, but like when the team is going to investigate it.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:38.960
So I think um not necessarily weird, but like your correlation with that.
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:46.480
My brain always thinks like when people have like new houses or like new builds and it's like super haunted, you're like, What does this make sense?
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.919
But it's more of like the land or an item honey the land.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.600
You set me up perfectly for that.
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.279
That TikTok just got out of my head.
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:55.679
Thank you.
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.639
You're welcome.
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:02.080
Um, so yeah, that's like, but it, but like when you break it down, you're like, well, it makes sense because anything can be haunted.
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:03.039
Oh, what?
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.279
One more one last thing before we open the shop.
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:05.759
Yeah.
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.000
I have a special request that I almost forgot to put in this episode.
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:21.200
And Karen, I want to give a shout-out to my cousin Peter, who is a big fan of the show and has been writing in stories and chatting with us on socials and everything.
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.320
And he asked for a shout out.
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:25.200
So hi Peter to you and to all your siblings.
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:30.000
Hopefully you're listening, and thank you for uh being one of the best cousins, you know?
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:31.679
Not all of them listen.
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.240
Not all of them.
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:39.919
I just saw a thing that came through the other day was like a notification, and it was like Peter left a voicemail or a call.
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.639
I called in, and it was like, it's Peter, your cousin.
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:44.639
And I'm like, I don't have a cousin named Peter.
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.320
And then I was like, oh, the two hosts of the show character.
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:49.120
I know.
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:50.879
Like, who's Peter?
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:52.639
I don't have a cousin named Peter.
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.440
Then I was like, oh my god, did I find like a long lost something?
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.559
Like, does something happen?
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.360
And then I was like, no.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.039
Almost started a new mystery, Peter.
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.399
Oh, hey Peter.
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:01.600
Okay.
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:15.759
So I heard about this thing place, and then I really wanted to talk about it, but then I kind of like went down a kind of like a rabbit hole of like, let me just get into it.
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:16.399
Okay.
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:22.639
Um the ghosts and the hauntings of spaghetti factories.
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.679
Multiple?
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.720
Exactly.
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:25.279
Okay.
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:38.480
So I had heard of one, and I don't actually now know which one, because then when I was like haunted spaghetti factory, multiple came up, and I was like, that is the strangest thing I've ever heard.
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.399
I yeah, I would not have thought of more than one.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:40.960
Right.
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:41.919
Okay.
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:52.799
Cause obviously when we think of haunted locations, we probably picture the uh uh asylums, the hotels, creepy Victorian mansions, like we were just talking about.
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:58.639
And we probably don't picture a plate of cheesy spaghetti.
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:12.080
Oh, but if I could be haunted by anything, but for decades multiple locations connected to the old spaghetti factory and spaghetti warehouse have collected an unusual amount of paranormal lore.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:24.159
Employees, customers, and ghost hunters have reported apparitions, disembodied voices, moving objects, and strange encounters inside restaurants where families are just trying to eat their dinner.
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.639
Maybe it's because when you're there, your family.
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:31.759
Tonight, we uh tonight, tonight, whenever.
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.240
It's always night when we record, so I always write tonight.
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:35.679
It's it's night for us.
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:36.480
We can say that.
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:40.639
And it's a Monday night, which is so bizarre for us recording on a Monday night.
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.080
Is it Monday?
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.440
Yeah, it is Monday.
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.240
Okay, so we are talking about three.
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.120
Three, isn't that weird?
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:49.759
I'm sorry, guys.
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:50.799
That's wild.
00:12:51.039 --> 00:13:02.559
So we are talking about the old spaghetti factory in Gastown, Vancouver, the spaghetti warehouse in Houston, Texas, and the old spaghetti factory in Duarte, California.
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.360
It's such a Texas name with the whole everything's bigger.
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.879
We can't just call it a spaghetti restaurant.
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:08.639
It's a spaghetti warehouse.
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:15.039
So three restaurants, three haunted histories, and some ghosties.
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.240
Perfect.
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.320
All right, so first we are going to start at the old spaghetti spaghetti?
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.879
Spaghetti factory in gas town Vancouver.
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:25.440
Okay.
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:38.000
The old spaghetti factory opened in 1970 inside a historic brick building in one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, which is obviously the perfect place to have spaghetti.
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:42.480
I feel like just like brick old spaghetti.
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.919
Not old spaghetti.
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.639
Nothing better than a paint of old spaghetti.
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:49.120
Okay.
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:57.279
So this area is already known for its ghost stories, and over the years the restaurant has developed a paranormal reputation of its own.
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:03.519
The most famous spirit is known simply as the tram conductor.
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:04.159
Okay.
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.679
Odd place for a tram conductor, but Well, well.
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:13.919
Inside the restaurant sits an antique trolley car known as number 53.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.240
And you can actually dine inside of the trolley car.
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:19.440
Isn't that so cute?
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.559
I would do that.
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:21.840
So here's my thing, though.
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:27.360
It's like, how do you have to book how far in advance to be like on Friday night I want to dine in the trolley car?
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.159
Because like I'm imagining everybody wants to dine in the trolley.
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.879
It's very exclusive, I would imagine.
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:44.159
Okay, so according to staff and local legends, after closing time, a uniformed conductor has been seen setting sitting quietly inside the trolley.
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:45.200
That's kind of cute.
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:46.000
I know.
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:53.519
And witnesses describe him as completely solid at first glance, only realizing something is wrong when he suddenly disappears.
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.440
Less cute, more creepy.
00:14:55.600 --> 00:15:01.919
Or is it like he's just trying to like kind of chill in his tram alone, and then people notice him, so he's like, Yeah, I gotta go.
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.240
It kind of reminds me of that old episode of Hay Arnold with the ghost train.
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.480
I knew you were gonna say that.
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.879
I know we don't know why on here.
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.519
Yes, it is one of those, like, I don't, I think it's because I we need to re-watch it now as adults.
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.039
It's just that chilling moment at the end with the conductor sitting.
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:23.519
Yeah.
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.480
When you're the little like that, it's like it was like unsettling, but also my favorite episode.
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:37.519
It's also like uh uh we probably have already talked about this too, but the boy meets world episode, the Halloween one, where she's gonna be like, I think it might follow that with this.
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.320
Them all.
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:39.279
That's my favorite one.
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.080
It was like whatever.
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:40.639
Okay, anyway.
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.039
This is why we're as fucked up as we are now.
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:43.919
Exactly.
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.840
Okay, no one is entirely sure where the conductor came from.
00:15:48.159 --> 00:16:08.320
Some versions of the story claim he died in a transit accident, but others suggest that the spirit may have arrived with the trolley itself when it was installed in the restaurant, which like kind of makes sense, unless like it was somebody like maybe a conductor that died and he was like from that town and then was like, Oh my god, there's a trolley car in the spaghetti factory.
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.759
Maybe a conductor, conductor, can I don't know what that word was.
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.759
Conductor died eating spaghetti there and was like, I'll stay with the train.
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.080
Yeah.
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:16.639
Trolley.
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:17.360
Trolley.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:23.440
Whatever the origin, reports of the conductor have circulated for decades, but he's not alone.
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:30.720
Stories from employees describe a small red-haired figure known as the little red man.
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.159
Like, what a name.
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.639
At least we got real creative with that one.
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:41.840
According to witnesses, he enjoys practical jokes, whispers to workers, and occasionally calls people by name when no one else is around.
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.200
So he's like a little jokester.
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:44.399
I do like that.
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.120
I know.
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.799
That would be me as a ghost.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.279
Yeah.
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.720
You have little practical jokes that like nothing to like, but just give you a little KBG.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.399
Unless like you deserve to be scared.
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.240
Like my enemies, I would like haunt you.
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.519
But like, if I die before Aaron, I'm just gonna like, you know, fuck with him.
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:01.679
Just gotta poke him in the butt every once in a while.
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.039
Right in the butthole.
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.799
Like, how do you explain that to other people?
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:06.720
You can't tell other people about a haunting like that.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.759
I'm pretty sure there was a Reddit story that was like, I got poked in the butthole by a ghost.
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:12.480
Anyway.
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:13.519
That would soby us.
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:13.839
Okay.
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:26.640
Then there's the ghost of a young boy, um, often identified as Edward, and staff members have reported seeing a child running through the restaurant only for him to vanish around the corners, which is also kind of like, uh, come get me.
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:28.079
And then he just Right.
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:32.240
Some say he likes to play near the trolley, which I could understand if you're a little kid.
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.000
I'm sure the real kids do too.
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.039
Oh, for sure.
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:45.839
Various paranormal researchers and local historians claim there may be four resident spirits in total, making the restaurant one of Vancouver's most talked-about haunted locations.
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:46.880
Interesting.
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:47.519
I know.
00:17:47.680 --> 00:18:00.720
So whether the ghosts are real or simply part of Gas Town's rich folklore, the stories have become such a major part of the restaurant's identity that now they openly discuss in local ghost tours and Halloween features.
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:11.920
Like we all kind of know that I feel like we've talked about this too, but like a long time ago, it was like, let's not draw attention to the fact that like our facilities are haunted, but now it's like a draw, like people want it.
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.680
So it's like, let's talk about it.
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:15.519
It's mainstream now, you know.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:22.000
Okay, so I love that it's not only multiple spaghetti factories, but there's multiple unrelated spirits.
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.799
Like maybe you just want comfort food in death.
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:26.480
Honestly, like, why not?
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.839
It probably smells good still.
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.279
I kind of want spaghetti now.
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:35.039
I'm not that big of a spaghetti person, but I like like I used to hate spaghetti when I was younger.
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:36.480
Aaron loves spaghetti.
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:39.759
I will not eat it like on the regular, but I like it.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:46.880
I don't go out of my way for like a pasta restaurant or Italian food, but I'm never disappointed when I have it.
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:56.400
And I will say, like, my dad made the best homemade spaghetti in the world, and when he makes that, I'm just like a kid again at their dining room table.
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.480
Okay, I need Mark to make me spaghetti then.
00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.680
Oh, it's so good.
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:02.880
Because I've never had somebody like make me a homemade spaghetti.
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.039
Oh.
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.039
Aside from like a restaurant, but I don't feel like that's the same, you know what I mean?
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:08.880
No, no, not the same at all.
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:09.839
All right, dad.
00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:10.559
I need that.
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:12.319
Mark it down, Mark.
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:14.720
You sound like Mark when you said that.
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.160
Mark it down, Mark.
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.039
I didn't even mean to do it at first, but yeah, it was a good dad pun.
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.079
That one's for you, buddy.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:21.680
I spent a lot of time with him recently.
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.319
The dad jokes are just pouring out.
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:25.039
I love it.
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:26.720
You guys had such a cute little adventure.
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:27.200
I know.
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.000
I'm gonna that I'll talk about it more in the next episode.
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:31.440
Okay, okay.
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.519
So the second that we're gonna talk about, my foot is cramping.
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:36.400
I'm so sorry.
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.440
Uh, this is um where we're gonna head down to south to the Houston.
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:49.759
And this is a spaghetti warehouse occupied in a historic warehouse building in Commerce Street built in the early 1900s.
00:19:50.000 --> 00:20:00.799
The structure served multiple purposes over the decades, including where a warehouse and pharmaceutical operations, before becoming a restaurant in the 70s.
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:02.319
I was just gonna ask that.
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:08.000
What is it an actual spaghetti warehouse where they're making the noodles, or is it okay, that's the name of a restaurant?
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:09.839
It's kind of like the Cheesecake Factory.
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.279
It's not a goddamn factory.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:11.839
I gotcha.
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.079
It's just like a callback to what it used to be.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:14.640
Yeah, I guess.
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:16.319
Well, yeah, that yeah, duh.
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:22.480
But this one kind of makes sense though, because it's like, okay, it's been multiple other things.
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.640
So, like, you know.
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.480
Yeah, it's not that shocking.
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.799
So, like Vancouver's location, Houston's restaurant also featured an antique trolley car.
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.279
Which what is this with these spaghetti places and trolley cars?
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:38.480
I don't understand.
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.559
I've never thought about the two of them being related before, but but I've also never thought about ghosts and spaghetti.
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:44.880
True.
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.920
So I still imagine like a little ghost with the cheese.
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.319
Say what oh my god, they should like play into that.
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:53.119
I know.
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:54.640
We need to call them up.
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:56.480
Okay, we have ideas.
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.680
Okay, so and like Vancouver's location, ghost stories soon followed.
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:06.240
So the most famous legend centers around a young pharmacist.
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:13.680
According to the story, the man was working late one night when he accidentally stepped into an open elevator shaft and fell to his death.
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:16.160
Oh, we've talked about this so many times.
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:17.519
Where were we that that happened?
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:18.799
Stimson Hospital.
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:19.279
That's right.
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:23.680
When I when we were investigating over there in in January, February.
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:25.279
When it was way too damn cold.
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:26.720
I think it was February.
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:27.440
Was it?
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:27.920
Yeah.
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:28.400
Whatever.
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.680
Yeah, because it was right by your birthday.
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.160
Missy's birthday is in February.
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:35.359
It was January.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.079
Okay, whatever.
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:36.559
It doesn't matter.
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.279
Does not matter.
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:38.720
Why are we arguing about this?
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.279
But that is like one of those fears that I have.
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.839
Like when I push an elevator button, I wait a couple seconds before I even get in it.
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:50.079
I I even when you're inside elevators, sometimes I just get the worst feeling.
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.000
Or when they stop for Have you ever been stuck in an elevator?
00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.799
No.
00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:58.880
I have twice for like short periods of time.
00:21:59.200 --> 00:21:59.759
I was gonna say maybe I.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:01.200
The worst.
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:13.599
I might have for like a really short time, like literally like a hostel in London with three people who didn't speak, none of us spoke the same language, but we all had a conversation with our faces.
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.799
How long were you in it?
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.839
It probably stopped for a minute and a half, two minutes.
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:19.119
That's still too long.
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:20.240
That's way too long.
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:20.720
Ugh.
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.119
Okay.
00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:28.640
Well, some versions claim his wife discovered the body and was so devastated that she died not long afterward.
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:34.079
Uh, visitors and employees later began reporting sightings of both figures throughout the building.
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:35.920
So him and his wife.
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:45.599
Staff described hearing footsteps when no one was there, objects moved on their own, chairs reportedly vibrated or shifted position.
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.079
The vibrating chair would be an interesting.
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.400
Were people on them when they were vibrating?
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:54.799
Oh, I don't know, but that reminds me what was vibrating when you got a reading?
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:57.119
It was uh the in the gallery reading.
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.519
The first time I saw Xie, it was that chair in front of me.
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:00.319
Yeah.
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.039
Mm-hmm.
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:04.400
I was like, I know that we had a vibrating chair by us at some point.
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:05.359
Okay.
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:09.279
So anyway, guests occasionally felt somewhat trapped.
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:10.160
Trapped.
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:15.920
Someone tapped their shoulder only to turn around and find nobody standing behind them.
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:20.319
And the second floor became particularly notorious.
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:26.240
So employees claimed they heard children running through empty rooms after hours, which we all know how I feel about that.
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.119
If they're like love children or not.
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:50.000
Others reported shadowy figures and unexplained noises coming from areas that should have been vacant, which is also like uh one former worker even described entering the basement after flooding and discovering furniture stacked neatly in a corner despite no one having been inside.
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:54.160
And I think that's nice because if it was flooding, my basement flooded.
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:56.799
I wish I had a ghost to be like, let me help her out.
00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.680
You know, I was just saying I need to organize that garage.
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:02.880
If that spirit would like to pop over here for a day or two.
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:34.199
Right.
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:48.919
And then obviously, like, you know, paranormal enthusiasts have pointed to stories like that as evidence of intelligent haunting, but skeptics, of course, suggest there are plenty of ordinary explanations, like somebody living in the basement or something.
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:49.639
We know how that goes.
00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:51.159
What vibrates a chair though?
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.839
Well, I guess that there's a lot of things.
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:53.559
Right.
00:24:53.719 --> 00:24:54.599
I don't know.
00:24:54.919 --> 00:24:57.240
I like the thought of a haunted spaghetti factory better anyway.
00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:57.799
I know.
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:04.199
Uh the original restaurant eventually closed after Hurricane Harvey caused significant damage to the historic building.
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:09.480
But even though the spaghetti is gone, many locals believe the spirits never let.
00:25:09.879 --> 00:25:11.799
Do they still make spaghetti there?
00:25:11.959 --> 00:25:12.679
The spirits.
00:25:12.919 --> 00:25:15.159
I don't know if they ever made spaghetti though.
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:20.519
Like, do you think that because you can't really it's such a family dinner thing, you know what I mean?
00:25:20.679 --> 00:25:23.159
I I like to think they're still eating ghost spaghetti.
00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:24.279
That would be really cute.
00:25:24.679 --> 00:25:25.559
Spaghetti.
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:29.639
Especially like the husband and wife that like passed away there or whatever.
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:34.679
That'd be nice if they were just like also like having like family spaghetti nights.
00:25:34.919 --> 00:25:35.719
I dig it.
00:25:36.439 --> 00:25:37.959
I really want spaghetti now.
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:43.399
I know, but like if I were a ghost, like and let's say we we like don't eat, we just smell the smells.
00:25:43.639 --> 00:25:48.919
I don't know if a spaghetti factory is where how a restaurant is where I would go.
00:25:49.159 --> 00:25:51.079
Garlic bread do be smelling good though.
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:59.399
Garlic bread does smell really good, but like grilled chicken smells so good, or cookies, like if you went to like a you know what I mean?
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:01.240
Like, yeah, but that would get old fast.
00:26:01.639 --> 00:26:02.519
Yeah, the cookies.
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.519
I love like the smell of grilled chicken.
00:26:04.679 --> 00:26:06.919
You would find me in a Leo's Coney Island.
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:07.959
Yeah, you would be.
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:12.759
If I would haunt any, any restaurant, oh conies, euros.
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:15.559
I don't know what restaurant I would haunt.
00:26:15.639 --> 00:26:16.519
I gotta think about it.
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:18.839
Okay, well, moving along.
00:26:19.159 --> 00:26:25.639
This brings us to the old spaghetti factory in Duarte Calapornia.
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.359
Okay.
00:26:26.679 --> 00:26:31.000
Okay, so again, for our final stop, get it because of trolley.
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.439
Yeah, got it.
00:26:32.919 --> 00:26:33.159
Okay.
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:41.879
So unlike the other location, unlike the other locations, the paranormal reputation here is tied directly to the building itself.
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:42.679
Okay.
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.879
What was the building?
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:52.199
The Duarte restaurant uh accompanies nope, it occupies a former schoolhouse dating back to 1909.
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.399
Say less.
00:26:53.639 --> 00:26:53.879
Yeah.
00:26:54.039 --> 00:27:01.000
Before becoming a restaurant, generations of students attended classes there, and much of that history remains visible today.
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:08.119
So there are old photographs, classroom artifacts, and school memorabilia are still displayed throughout the building.
00:27:08.439 --> 00:27:12.519
Which remember when we were at where were we in Ohio?
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:15.959
Where we were in the old school schoolhouse.
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:18.679
It was some uh Augley's village.
00:27:18.919 --> 00:27:19.240
Okay.
00:27:19.879 --> 00:27:30.839
That was so creepy in like not like a scary way, but just like spooky, like with all of the old um class photos on the walls.
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:32.919
Remember, it just had an eerie vibe to it.
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:40.839
It had a really eerie vibe, but like I was getting so much responses of like one of them being one of the students in those pictures.
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:43.799
And I was going through and I was like, are you and I was reading all the time?
00:27:43.879 --> 00:27:47.480
And it would like light up when you certainly and I was like, Oh my gosh.
00:27:47.639 --> 00:27:52.199
And so, like, I can just see I can feel the vibe of this restaurant with all of these pictures.
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:57.079
It'd be really cool to be in the old schoolhouse, but it'd also be really eerie even if it wasn't haunted.
00:27:57.399 --> 00:27:57.799
Right.
00:27:58.039 --> 00:28:04.679
You know, so like we were just kind of saying, but some visitors find the atmosphere charming and others find it unsettling.
00:28:05.399 --> 00:28:05.879
Hello.
00:28:06.439 --> 00:28:09.639
Okay, so I can see it being a little like a fair mix of both.
00:28:09.879 --> 00:28:12.119
Yeah, and I think that I would think it was both.
00:28:12.199 --> 00:28:15.399
Just like I thought that the c that classroom that we were in, it was so charming.
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.199
It was so quaint and awesome, but like unsettling.
00:28:18.439 --> 00:28:29.639
Okay, so ghost stories, ghost ghost, ghost stories surrounding the former school have circulated for years, and employees have reported hearing footsteps when the building was empty.
00:28:29.959 --> 00:28:35.159
Some claim lights turn themselves on and off without exclamation.
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.399
Or exclamation would also work.
00:28:39.639 --> 00:28:40.119
Both.
00:28:40.679 --> 00:28:48.359
Um others describe hearing a young girl laughing through the intercom system after closing time.
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:50.119
No, absolutely not.
00:28:50.199 --> 00:28:50.839
Could you imagine?
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.879
Like, because you know the closing staff, it's like usually two people.
00:28:54.119 --> 00:29:00.039
No, no, I would lose my goddamn eye.
00:29:00.199 --> 00:29:00.919
I'd be running.
00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:02.919
I the I would quit.
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:05.240
That would actually make me quit.
00:29:05.399 --> 00:29:09.319
Can you imagine though, a silent like restaurant you're just closing up?
00:29:09.399 --> 00:29:20.679
Because like it's probably not, or maybe you have music on, I don't know, but like not that sound, and then the on the is the inner con even is it connected still, or is it like coming over like a dead inner con?
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:26.679
I don't know, but either way, either either way, that is so effing creepy.
00:29:26.919 --> 00:29:28.039
Yeah, I don't like that.
00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:30.439
That would send me no.
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.399
Take the apron off, throw it on the counter, I'm never coming back.
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:43.879
Yeah, even though it's most likely just like one of those little kids' spirits, maybe that liked being at school and was just like it's probably just residual, honestly.
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:45.480
Like it's not trying to do it to creepy.
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:48.679
It's residual energy.
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.079
That uh that's what I'm gonna go with to make it less creepy from.
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:54.839
It's fine, but residual energy to me, would it be coming through the intercom?
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.879
Yeah.
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.599
If I worked there and I had to continue working there, that's what I would tell myself.
00:30:00.919 --> 00:30:03.480
But that would send me.
00:30:03.719 --> 00:30:05.639
It reminds me though, on Hocus Poke.
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:06.359
Oh, never mind.
00:30:06.439 --> 00:30:07.799
You don't even remember that movie.
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.639
I did finally watch it.
00:30:09.959 --> 00:30:11.000
The original one.
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:16.359
When they put them in the kiln to burn them, but to get them in there, they're like on the intercom.
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:19.480
And he's like, Okay, I do need to watch it again.
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:35.719
Okay, so um one particularly strange report involved diners hearing an elderly man's voice over cell phones while sitting in what was once the principal's office, like over their own cell phones?
00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:38.439
See, I think this is something residual.
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.480
It's somehow picking it up on like the electrical wires or something.
00:30:41.719 --> 00:30:42.199
Maybe.
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:44.119
I would have to tell myself that then.
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:45.319
You actually might be right.
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:47.079
I have the frequency or something just right.
00:30:47.399 --> 00:30:50.599
That actually, I guess I didn't think about that until you just yeah.
00:30:50.919 --> 00:30:54.759
In the principal's office, so so it's clearly like one of the principals.
00:30:55.399 --> 00:30:55.639
Yeah.
00:30:56.199 --> 00:30:56.679
Oh, yeah.
00:30:56.919 --> 00:31:08.359
According to a local paranormal lore, the room may be connected to a tragic event from the building's past, which I'm not really sure what it was, but people just says there was a tragic tragic event that happened there.
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:17.559
Additional stories include sightings of figures in bathrooms, chairs moving on their own, and unexplained voices echoing through the old school corridors.
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.079
Which that kind of makes sense.
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:20.919
Like that, you know, the whatever.
00:31:21.159 --> 00:31:32.279
Unlike Vancouver, which has its trolley ghost, or Houston, which has its tragic pharmacist, Duarte's haunting feels more like a collection of like lingering memories, which is kind of like what you were saying.
00:31:32.439 --> 00:31:32.919
Yeah, yeah.
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.839
Which was kind of just left behind by a century old schoolhouse.
00:31:37.159 --> 00:31:41.079
So I guess I do get some of that being residual, but I don't know.
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:42.599
The intercom freaks me out.
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:49.079
Yeah, I mean, ghost children always freak us out, but I think like it's that unbound energy of kids can definitely residual.
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:56.519
And I let me let me clarify in this this thing, if it was any type of voice coming over the intercom laughing, I would be out.
00:31:56.679 --> 00:31:57.319
Oh, absolutely.
00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:03.159
Not even I would almost prefer, well, I was saying I'd almost prefer kids, but no.
00:32:03.639 --> 00:32:04.359
I don't know.
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:15.719
Um, so anyway, kind of like what you just said though, like schools are places filled with thousands of lives that go throughout them, um, and moments and decades of like all that emotional energy and stuff.
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.519
So that this one really does make sense to be this haunted.
00:32:18.679 --> 00:32:22.679
Like, if any building were going to leave something behind, yeah, this makes sense.
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:23.879
This would be it.
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:26.119
So that's kind of what I have.
00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:32.839
Like, why do we think that so many spaghetti factories and warehouses are uh seem to attract ghosts?
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:35.639
Don't as my original theory when you're there, you're family.
00:32:35.719 --> 00:32:37.959
It's the uh the Olive Garden way, you know.
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:39.079
Why do you think?
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:39.799
I don't know.
00:32:39.879 --> 00:32:43.799
I think that it's just like coincidental that they happen to be spaghetti places.
00:32:43.879 --> 00:32:46.199
I find that so freaking bizarre, though.
00:32:46.439 --> 00:32:50.599
I mean, we could probably find any three of any single location.
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:58.359
It's just so funny, though, when I had literally heard something like quickly on a podcast that was like, oh my god, and it wasn't even like a paranormal one, right?
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:01.480
You're like, oh yeah, the spaghetti factory, I think it was the Houston one is haunted.
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:02.279
I'm like, that's so crazy.
00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:03.079
I want to look into that.
00:33:03.159 --> 00:33:07.639
And then it literally popped up with multiple locations of haunted spaghetti factory.
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:10.039
It's not the place you would anticipate for sure.
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:11.799
Okay, I have a question for you though.
00:33:11.959 --> 00:33:12.279
Sure.
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:16.519
Of the three, if you only had to pick one to eat at, which one are you going to?
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:21.559
Okay, so we either have the conductor and the little red man.
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:22.439
Yes.
00:33:22.679 --> 00:33:24.199
And that was which one?
00:33:24.439 --> 00:33:25.240
Vancouver.
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:26.119
Vancouver.
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:35.000
So Houston was the tragic death of the pharmacist and potentially vibrating chairs and an organizing ghost.
00:33:35.159 --> 00:33:37.959
And then the last one though was Haunted School Children.
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.439
I know that's not I know that's not gonna be your pick.
00:33:40.679 --> 00:33:41.399
Here's the thing.
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:45.639
I wouldn't be opposed to it just because like they're not let me.
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.000
I I I know for some new listeners, let me just clarify this.
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:58.279
The reason that haunted school children like haunted school children, children and hauntings freak me out is because most of the time they're not actually children, is something posing as a child.
00:33:58.439 --> 00:33:59.799
Oh, see, I just don't like children.
00:33:59.959 --> 00:34:01.480
I know you don't, living or dead.
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:09.159
In this case, the kids wouldn't bother me because I know that they're probably most likely children because it was a schoolhouse.
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:15.800
But I would be thinking, why are the children still here unless it is just residual, then they probably wouldn't bug you.
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:17.880
You would never be able to enjoy your meal.
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:19.000
You'd be thinking too much.
00:34:19.240 --> 00:34:19.880
Yeah, okay.
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:21.719
So where do I want to go?
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:27.719
I think probably Vancouver, because the conductor just seems like a nice man that I would want to sit in the trolley and eat.
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:30.360
Yeah, have dinner with him, you know.
00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:39.960
I would pick that too, not only because the trolley, the trolley would be cool, haunted or not, and the conductor for the whole Hay Arnold, you know, live out that memory.
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:42.679
Vancouver's just a city I really want to go to.
00:34:42.759 --> 00:34:43.480
I've never been.
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:45.880
Okay, let's go because I'm our Ben, and then we can go there.
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:50.119
All right, we'll add it to the haunted road trip that we've hit so many stops on together.
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:53.559
Is anybody out there keeping track?
00:34:53.799 --> 00:34:57.400
If anybody has ever kept track, send us the road trip because we're certainly not.
00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:58.279
No, we're not.
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.759
But anyway, that is my haunted spaghetti.
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.239
Okay.
00:35:01.799 --> 00:35:02.920
All spaghetti.
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:04.920
I I got stuff for us.
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:05.480
What?
00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:07.079
Emoji for this episode.
00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:08.440
Obviously, spaghetti.
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:15.639
But our listener asks this time when you die, what type of restaurant are you haunting?
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:17.239
And tell us, is it for the smells?
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:18.839
Is it for the experience?
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:23.400
Where and why and what food you want to smell the whole time.
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:25.000
I also want to know because you're dead.
00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:25.239
Yeah.
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:28.119
I also want to know if anyone's gone to any of these places.
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:29.239
Perfect.
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:31.159
Or any other haunted restaurant.
00:35:31.319 --> 00:35:31.559
Yeah.
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:34.679
We I was gonna say we need write-ins, but we actually have a decent amount.
00:35:34.759 --> 00:35:35.719
So stay tuned for sure.
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.839
We always have write-ins, we always need more and phone calls.
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:40.759
I just don't have to beg today.
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:51.559
If you guys don't remember because we're totally bad hosts to keep remind you, after each episode, we head on over to Patreon and we do a little bit of more bonus around whatever topic that we talked about.
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:56.199
So if you'd like to head on over there and join us on Patreon, we do some fun stuff.
00:35:56.279 --> 00:35:57.480
We'd love to have you.
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:00.759
We should have planned for this one and been eating spaghetti on that episode.
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:01.559
Oh my god.
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:02.759
That would have been just awful.
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:04.679
Okay.
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:14.279
Well, we love you guys, we appreciate you, and hopefully, Zach's move didn't interrupt anything too much in your lives and your sound quality.
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:16.599
I'm so sorry, guys.
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:21.559
Um, obviously, that's not really that big of your concern, I'm sure.
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:23.639
It's more mine because he's gone.
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:25.239
Let's wrap it up.
00:36:25.319 --> 00:36:26.599
Let's close the shop up.
00:36:26.759 --> 00:36:28.440
Okay, we love you, we appreciate you.
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:32.119
The most important thing you can do for us is to creep around my little ad balls.
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:33.079
Goodbye.
