00:00:00.580
Today's guests are some young paranormal explorers.
00:00:13.800
They've been to some of the scariest places on the planet.
00:00:44.960
Sam and Colby, thank you guys for coming in, man.
00:01:08.080
We should rename our channel to just Paranormal Amigos from now on.
00:01:13.920
I mean, that's way cooler than just saying Ghost Hunters.
00:01:17.560
but honestly, we're just like two dudes with a camera.
00:01:20.460
Like, we just kind of like document everything that happens to us.
00:01:25.640
so we just like go into these haunted places with a camera,
00:01:27.840
just us two and a couple guests, and see what happens.
00:01:31.580
but we can't channel them, you know what I'm saying?
00:01:46.640
Like, that's honestly, that is part of the adventure,
00:01:49.840
Like, sometimes it's the craziest thing we've ever seen,
00:02:09.800
So like small town Kansas to like all this stuff,
00:02:31.140
And we did it just after like high school, too.
00:03:12.900
oh, well, nobody's seeing ghosts anymore as much.
00:03:22.800
being like, dude, where are all the fucking ghosts?
00:07:56.860
we started doing the abandoned stuff in like 2017,
00:08:02.180
we were legally doing like pretty much all of our videos back in the day and we got arrested.
00:08:14.060
Let's try to figure a way in and figure a way out without getting caught.
00:08:20.460
but there's a cameo time that we actually got caught and we're like,
00:08:38.860
very skeptical of anything haunted ghost related before we started.
00:08:51.680
But then things started happening and it was like,
00:09:00.700
crash in front of me and then have it over and over and over again.
00:09:06.220
And then we went to this place called the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
00:09:49.400
actually it would be kind of cool if there was something,
00:10:00.940
we actually did this entire video and nothing really happened all night.
00:10:06.960
very end of the night turned off cameras and we're like,
00:10:11.180
but let's just try it one more time for the rest of the night.
00:10:14.460
And then slowly stuff started happening off camera.
00:10:22.060
we just turn on the cameras and like try to like capture it.
00:10:24.260
But instead we just like sat there and tried to have a conversation with a
00:10:33.460
It made me like want to get to those whole spiritualist thing.
00:10:37.600
we talked about this many times after being like,
00:10:50.680
And so that dove us into this whole like career over the last five,
00:10:57.460
as you're telling me that even when you were starting,
00:10:59.600
just kind of that parable there are starting that,
00:11:20.180
for people that are religious or have believe in some sort of higher power,
00:11:27.580
So just the fact that you guys showed up willing to meet whatever could be out there,
00:11:37.100
sometimes the way it shows up could be positive,
00:11:42.160
is like scary to us because it's coming from a place that we can't understand.
00:11:51.360
So like we first started with this like Queen Mary,
00:11:56.300
it was something where he didn't believe in anything.
00:12:14.680
depending on what they believe in the personal life.
00:12:17.280
It's so much more of like putting yourself out there and meeting something
00:12:20.760
whether that be in a religious sense or as we do.
00:12:24.560
it's like so many people go out there and they're so closed off.
00:12:28.180
I'm sure tons of people watching this right now are super skeptical,
00:12:33.920
but if you go into a haunted house and you're super skeptical and you don't
00:12:39.940
But like when we turn off the cameras and we actually like actually,
00:12:50.160
And that's what we always advise that people to do.
00:12:57.960
It brings me back to like when I was a kid and like,
00:13:11.820
you're so like right there on the edge of the moment.
00:13:16.240
Like something small can meet you right there really easily.
00:13:24.200
And that's why like children have so many more experiences because they're less
00:13:43.760
People could beg for like somebody to come from the afterlife that they love.
00:13:47.520
And then they hear a weird knock at the door in the middle of the night.
00:13:50.220
And instead they call the police instead of go open it up.
00:13:58.240
it's just interesting that like how perception and belief can meet together to frame what
00:14:07.860
Like we definitely now believe we've had so many experiences over the last like seven
00:14:12.140
years that have proved to us that we're not the only things out there.
00:14:17.640
I was at a place where I thought it was all blackness.
00:14:22.600
It was so hopeless that when I found that spark of like,
00:14:37.560
And now that I have over the last couple of years,
00:14:42.560
What if someone could watch one of our videos and walk away being like,
00:14:49.820
And what if that changes their course of their life to maybe be a better person
00:15:00.280
and we're trying to get something that's scary.
00:15:06.320
But we're also very inviting to just skeptics that won't or don't want to like
00:15:11.900
Like they can just watch our videos for entertainment.
00:15:15.400
it depends on the person and paranormal affects everybody in different ways,
00:15:25.000
I didn't even know if I expected this conversation to go like this,
00:15:33.480
I've gotten to speak with people that have like,
00:15:35.720
we had a doctor on who is a cancer doctor and he had over the years,
00:15:42.220
he started interviewing people that had had near death experiences and just
00:15:47.680
Like a lot of the data and finding a lot of the commonalities in it.
00:15:57.100
And he wrote a book about it and it's an easy read,
00:16:00.940
you could just tell how much it changed his life and his perspective that he
00:16:11.620
and just putting together all different people's accounts.
00:16:16.500
to see how many people that had the same experiences.
00:16:21.860
if enough of it's uniform here and the experiences are the same,
00:16:29.940
And it certainly starts to make you believe a little bit more.
00:16:33.960
he couldn't really get to what's on the other side hype,
00:16:42.920
he was able to kind of like through a great deal of interviews,
00:16:46.580
examine some of the stair steps that people do.
00:16:51.440
And so that I think gave me almost a little bit more of like a,
00:16:59.700
there's something more than just us guessing this.
00:17:13.560
but that took you to a place where you feel like you were leaving for sure.
00:17:24.740
you felt yourself kind of leave your body and become this spirit that the only thing you could feel was love.
00:17:33.260
all the earthly chains of like people you knew and all of that.
00:17:42.020
The amount of like immense love that was present in your being,
00:17:45.820
as you were hypothetically leaving this body that we know was so immense and so great.
00:18:02.400
And so even though you couldn't remember anything that was going on in this like physical plane,
00:18:05.940
you still somehow had the thought that like you were supposed to be there.
00:18:14.600
I felt like you literally start to feel like you're leaving your body and you start to like,
00:18:20.440
you're still attached to a lot of your like worldly thoughts.
00:18:40.500
Little things like that were like kind of going in my head.
00:18:44.720
you became overwhelmed with this feeling of like so much love.
00:18:48.720
and the only thing you were supposed to do while you were alive was love and everything
00:19:01.340
So she'll have the same realization that everything is as okay as it ever could be and ever was.
00:19:22.080
I feel like it's pretty sad if like you want there to be nothing,
00:19:30.560
you would rather a way that you like move on because that's just human.
00:19:41.540
This is the craziest shit you could ever imagine.
00:19:48.000
to be a fish that like comes close to the edge of the bowl,
00:19:50.940
like just for a second and gets to like peek out into like the universe.
00:19:58.040
So what happened in the Queen Mary that kind of,
00:20:00.640
can you take me into any more like feelings or something that happened?
00:20:03.440
Was there anything like specific or was it just an overwhelming feeling?
00:20:14.980
we all sat around and it was like four in the morning.
00:20:17.920
It was us and a couple of roommates so that we could all vouch for each other.
00:20:27.940
just a water faucet full on for like five seconds.
00:20:42.300
It's like too late at that night at that point.
00:20:45.140
but then like afterwards it would be like little knocks or scratches or taps everywhere.
00:21:00.400
can you tap over there on the window of the ship?
00:21:30.380
like the best paranormal evidence ever that convinces everybody is something that silly.
00:21:49.200
write out what you want and like meet it halfway,
00:21:55.080
It's just trying to put something in existence physically or verbally that to,
00:22:08.860
but you're just a spiritual person and you're talking to the universe.
00:22:11.840
But all it's about is having that like manifestation and like,
00:22:33.060
It's not having to transition from summer shenanigans to the focus needed in the fall.
00:22:40.940
Ditch the glitch with zero sugar and zero crash from liquid IVs,
00:22:52.420
It's scientifically formulated to support physical energy,
00:23:01.260
Just one stick of liquid IV and 16 ounces of water hydrates better than water alone.
00:23:17.960
And right now you can ditch the glitch with zero sugar and zero crash from liquid IV.

00:23:32.820
That's 20% off your first order with code Theo at liquidiv.com.
00:23:45.660
And congratulations to someone being this young and having gone like over so much of the world.
00:23:57.260
And it's just rare that something like that gets to happen without joining like the military or
00:24:06.020
What is the process when you go to seek paranormal activity?
00:24:21.760
which we can get into a little bit if you want.
00:24:24.700
we have a bunch of like probably like eight to 10 pieces of equipment that really react to EMF energy,
00:24:29.880
which is electromagnetic energy that everything in the world alive or dead,
00:24:41.300
just so we can put a little bit of information to it.
00:24:52.380
often referred to as non-ionizing radiation associated with the movement of electrical current or voltage.
00:24:59.620
They are produced by the flow of electricity through wires or devices and can be found in all environments,
00:25:13.620
but almost every object emits some form of electromagnetic radiation,
00:25:17.100
as long as it's not an absolute zero temperature.
00:25:25.680
Natural sources of EMF include the Earth's magnetic field,
00:25:28.760
and even biological processes within living organisms.
00:25:34.560
This is just more of a scientific way to quantify it.
00:25:39.340
almost all of our piece of equipment basically measure changes in this energy.
00:25:44.660
And so if you place it there and kind of calibrate it to the environment,
00:25:58.360
let's say like cat toys or like flashlights and things like that,
00:26:02.280
that are stereotypical or just everyday objects that are not like meant for ghost hunting,
00:26:06.840
just so we can show that like even regular objects can be used for this type of thing
00:26:14.940
we'll set a flashlight down and it will turn on in front of our eyes.
00:26:21.380
like we would always recommend everybody start with how we started.
00:26:45.940
like we didn't have any equipment back in the day.
00:26:49.460
we were just sitting in like a dark room and just really trying to put ourselves in the mindset
00:27:06.440
just like as we've gotten like further in our careers and stuff,
00:27:09.360
this is when we've like implemented new equipment that just helps us do the same thing that we did in 2018.
00:27:22.420
but if they can see a flashlight turn on or if they can see a motion sensor,
00:27:34.440
like a big part of our show is we take people on these adventures so that they can be our like independent variable,
00:27:42.600
somebody else who doesn't believe or maybe just like interested in it,
00:27:48.100
We'll come out and experience it for the first time.
00:27:50.480
We've had so many friends come in pretty much complete atheists or skeptics and walk away like,
00:28:09.900
I've changing my perspective and it's beautiful.
00:28:12.600
So people to bear witness as to what's going on.
00:28:17.880
loitering for the spirit ops to show up or what was going on?
00:28:29.540
Like if you were a spirit and you're just seeing us,
00:28:34.940
Some of the shittiest spirits show up to talk to you guys.
00:28:55.460
You guys are talking to some real low level spirits.
00:29:02.180
It's probably why we have so many scary experiences too.
00:29:05.260
who's the guy that's going to hang out in the abandoned Island?
00:29:12.620
And he's got to be way weird from the other realm.
00:29:42.960
Like you want to people to bear witness to whatever's going on.
00:29:47.700
And that's what's like the coolest part of it is like seeing other people's like change of perspective and like how they like then afterwards like go about their lives.
00:30:01.600
are you guys just like metal detecting for bullshit or whatever out there,
00:30:07.800
but when you incorporate the fact that you have to be willing,
00:30:15.700
I just find that is so inspiring no matter what,
00:30:19.100
cause we're all looking for some sort of ghost,
00:30:23.120
we're all hoping that there's some spirit that comes up and tells us,
00:30:29.700
We're all wanting something to come along and make us feel more complete,
00:30:33.500
and what doper place for it to come from then the afterlife or the next realm,
00:30:42.720
And I think it's like worth mentioning to that.
00:30:44.600
Like this stuff doesn't happen every single time we go to a haunted place.
00:30:47.420
Like there are so many times that like we'll have videos that turn into like duds,
00:30:53.520
where we have to like completely scrap it because,
00:30:56.800
And so it really just depends on the spot and like the energy there.
00:31:02.340
Like most of our investigations are like 12 hours and we cut it down to like an hour
00:31:08.560
And only half of that is even like any evidence that we got.
00:31:13.740
It's not like we out of everybody can just walk over and see Casper the friendly ghost
00:31:18.560
Like it's like you have to go to the most haunted places in the entire world and then
00:31:22.380
also spend a very long time trying to like open yourself up for that.
00:31:29.920
It's just nice to have this kind of conversation.
00:31:31.640
It's nice to be reminded of the fact that we have a part kind of in, and this sounds kind
00:31:38.240
of silly, but we have a part in what we believe, but that we have a part in things that are
00:31:45.800
I think that's what it is that we, that because we, we alone are supernatural.
00:31:56.700
Especially if you look at the other animals and stuff, dude, they're all doing like normal
00:32:05.140
Dude, if you were in the woods and you saw a bear lie to his parents and then sneak a
00:32:09.820
piece of salmon or something, you'd be like, what the heck is that?
00:32:16.360
All the other bears are out splashing in the water and there's one bear just sitting on
00:32:28.700
You guys have visited some of the most haunted places in the world that we know of right
00:32:40.360
Is there sort of a overall hypothesis that you can come up with through all that?
00:32:49.900
Most of them, honestly, are their own separate like entities or whatever.
00:32:55.820
To where like you'll go to like one spot and like learn a bunch of history about the place
00:32:59.220
that's like maybe like 500 years old in the US.
00:33:01.520
It's not going to have any correlation to like a 500 year old place in like France or something
00:33:07.400
So I think every single spot comes with its own story and its own spirits.
00:33:13.180
There's more like demonic things you could talk to as well.
00:33:17.700
So there's a lot of different like variables, I guess you could say, depending on like where
00:33:23.160
Okay, so some places have different types of spirits?
00:33:25.900
It kind of depends on the history of what all happened there and like how much trauma
00:33:31.920
Because again, all of this is based on the energy that's at the location.
00:33:35.280
Is there one that stands out to you that kind of had a demonic energy?
00:33:40.480
So one place that we went to for this October, we went to Pendle Hill.
00:33:45.080
And so that's a place that's considered one of the most haunted or if not the most
00:33:55.840
But that was the home of the most infamous witch trials ever happened.
00:34:01.000
So like basically 11 witches were killed, 12 were like put on trial for doing witchcraft.
00:34:09.240
And at that time, a lot of witches turned to the devil because witches were outcasted
00:34:15.720
And so when they would turn to the devil, they made this place more like demonic and
00:34:20.200
like it has this like devil satanic pull to it.
00:34:23.340
And so we actually brought out a, you know, a witch that was doing witchcraft to summon
00:34:31.640
That was her main practice and had her try to summon and channel the devil himself.
00:34:37.640
And it was like literally like hundreds of years of witches on this exact hill have been
00:34:44.620
And we try to recreate that as close as possible, which was one of, if not the most terrifying
00:34:52.060
But like, for example, that would make a place more demonic.
00:34:54.820
If we have hundreds of years of people putting their effort and all of their power, again,
00:35:00.280
if we're talking about opening yourself up to a spiritual thing, if all you're doing
00:35:05.520
is putting that faith and that energy towards something demonic, you're going to attract
00:35:10.160
You're not going to attract something that's like happy.
00:35:13.700
Pendle Hill is most infamous for its ties to the Pendle witch trials of 1612, where several
00:35:17.800
local women were tried and executed for witchcraft.
00:35:20.140
The area is steeped in legend, including tales of supernatural occurrences.
00:35:28.040
Can you give me a little bit more information about the witches?
00:35:30.740
Maybe you could say like, look up the story of Alison Device.
00:35:43.920
The story of Alison Device, Alison, is central to the infamous Pendle witch trials of
00:35:52.520
She was a young woman from a poor family who one spring morning encountered John Law, a
00:35:57.820
peddler from Halifax, while walking to Trodden Forest.
00:36:01.300
Alison asked him for some pens, a common request at the time.
00:36:04.820
As pens were believed to have uses in folk magic, Law refused, prompting Alison to utter a
00:36:10.160
curse against him, upon which Law soon collapsed, suffering symptoms that were later recognized
00:36:18.680
Though at the time, this was believed to be a result of witchcraft.
00:36:32.960
And so her and her family were all like accused of witchcraft.
00:36:36.860
And then they all started blaming each other in the town.
00:36:38.820
But the weird part is like, they all admitted to it.
00:36:41.360
They literally like said on court trial, like, hey, I did use witchcraft to attempt to speak
00:36:53.780
Because they thought they were so upset by what had happened to her that they're like,
00:37:00.240
Well, they were admitting that in previous times, they had already like, they had already
00:37:06.080
been in witchcraft and they've already been a part of it.
00:37:07.700
Oh, so her family was a little bit familiar with witchcraft.
00:37:10.380
Oh, but also, what's that dude doing just gooning around some 12-year-old?
00:37:17.200
Bro, what are you loyering around some 12-year-old for, dude?
00:37:27.860
That's the kind of shit that happens, dude, even a long time ago.
00:37:31.060
And she was the one that got arrested, not him, by the way.
00:37:41.900
And like, she's young and now like, she's put in this space where it's like, how did
00:37:49.880
So if you think about that, yeah, like 11 of them died, 10 of them by hanging.
00:37:53.660
And that was accounted for 2% of all the witches ever that have been executed all in this
00:37:59.320
one trial because the whole family admitted to witchcraft.
00:38:03.660
And it's one of the most famous witch trials in history.
00:38:06.440
And because part of the thing was to be like freed from being like accused of being a witch,
00:38:13.220
I guess you had to point the blame on somebody else.
00:38:15.780
So the entire family basically like turned on each other and like the little girl was
00:38:25.640
And they're like, but they didn't hear it right.
00:38:35.920
It's almost like the sickest game show ever where it's going to be you or you have to
00:39:02.440
That would be a lot of energy being over there.
00:39:04.460
One place that's even worse than that, I think, is my top scariest we've ever gone to.
00:39:14.860
It's one week of just all episodes of you guys?
00:39:17.260
So Hell Week is the brand we've started for the last five years.
00:39:23.460
And so basically, once a week, we go to the most demonic places in the world.
00:39:33.520
But by far, the scariest for me of this entire Hell Month was going to the Paris Catacombs.
00:39:45.920
My buddy got a little, like a, whatever that's, one of these.
00:39:55.060
He got a bootleg tarsal off one of the staff there, like a little piece of bone.
00:40:05.560
Take a bone from the Paris Catacombs and curse forever?
00:40:09.440
I said, dude, just get some astronaut ice cream from the gift shop.
00:40:16.440
But he wanted to be different, so he got a little piece of foot or something.
00:40:19.400
So there's, like, two miles of this tourist style, like, this tourist part of the curse
00:40:24.040
catacombs where you can legally go into, and then there's 200 miles of illegal territory.
00:40:29.440
That's a whole labyrinth that doesn't even have a map, like.
00:40:32.280
It's seven stories, so, like, you can go up and down, like, different floors.
00:40:37.500
And there's six million dead bodies that are buried down underneath, and it's pretty much
00:40:44.460
So if you think of how big Paris is, you're walking around there.
00:40:46.960
There's an equivalent underneath Paris itself, which is insane to think about.
00:40:52.920
And people go down there, get lost, and die all the time.
00:40:56.640
And so, basically, we had to go down there and trust this, like, random guide that we'd
00:41:00.600
met that day and be like, hey, don't leave us, because if you left us, we would die.
00:41:07.100
We've actually known people that have gone down there, and the guides will, like, take
00:41:11.260
them into a corner and be like, hey, go check out that cave.
00:41:15.200
And, like, leave them there to die just to rob them and everything.
00:41:18.960
Because who would even notice that they died because of all the other bones?
00:41:25.280
It's like hundreds of miles of this, and it's all legal.
00:41:34.080
I was trying to, like, flirt with our tour guide down there, and she was looking at me
00:41:49.040
And some dude in our group kept making these boner jokes and shit.
00:41:56.920
I'm like, dude, that's a, yeah, just chill out.
00:42:01.520
But, yeah, I remember trying to flirt with this girl down there.
00:42:04.080
And, oh, she must have been like, this guy's a creep.
00:42:19.700
The Paris Catacombs refers to a vast underground network beneath Paris,
00:42:23.440
consisting of approximately 200 miles of tunnels and passageways.
00:42:27.800
While these tunnels originally functioned as limestone quarries,
00:42:32.940
they were repurposed in the late 1700s as an ossuary,
00:42:37.120
a final resting place eventually holding their bones of more than 6 million Parisians.
00:42:42.480
And there's really crazy structures down there.
00:42:47.000
There'll be, like, literal thrones made of human bones down there.
00:42:51.380
There's, like, all these things they call the bone rooms
00:42:53.200
that are just, like, stacked super high of, like, towers of different bones.
00:42:57.040
It's, like, the most insane thing you've ever seen.
00:42:59.020
Like, trying to conceptualize seeing, like, a dead human,
00:43:07.260
And there's, like, baptismal rooms and things like that.
00:43:33.080
So, a lot of it was just people that were dead above in the cemeteries.
00:43:39.940
And also, Paris was just, like, a very popular city, obviously.
00:43:42.840
And so, like, over time, as it got, like, more and more people,
00:43:46.840
And so, they would just bring a lot of, like, people,
00:43:49.360
like, dead bodies down to just dump them in the tunnels.
00:43:55.520
Yeah, especially, like, on the Champs-Elysees or something like that.
00:43:59.220
Nothing's more tacky-looking than some dead-ass dude.
00:44:03.400
While you're trying to have, like, beautiful outfits and shit.
00:44:06.560
While you just throw them down, like, leave them in the tunnel.
00:44:09.140
Get them out of this beautiful city, all right?
00:44:11.400
Yeah, it's, like, just putting something under the rug, really.
00:44:16.820
And there was not only just, like, paranormal danger there that we, like,
00:44:19.780
encountered, but also, like, extreme claustrophobia where we were, like,
00:44:23.400
cave diving on, like, our hands and knees, essentially.
00:44:26.580
Like, wading through waters that were freezing cold up to, like, our nipples
00:44:31.400
Yeah, imagine getting frozen nips in two miles in the catacombs.
00:44:38.100
And then I think the scariest of it all, actually, is the fact that there are known
00:44:43.720
gangs that, like, roam around in the Paris catacombs that actively try to steal from tourists
00:44:49.640
because they know it's so popular for people to try to go out there and film and, like,
00:44:55.040
And so if you get close, which actually, again, like, we know a couple of buddies that have
00:44:58.420
had this happen to them, they'll be, they'll come and just jump you.
00:45:03.420
Like, there's people that know the catacombs like the back of their hands.
00:45:05.940
And so when they encounter a tourist, they're like, oh, I got you.
00:45:08.660
Like, I'll just take all your equipment and, like, make you run, which is terrifying.
00:45:12.880
And what are you going to do, grab a femur and beat somebody?
00:45:18.200
It would all feel so surreal if somebody's rocking you there.
00:45:22.360
Oh, Brian, if they turn off your light, you're done.
00:45:27.480
We went to some other catacombs and that was really rough.
00:45:34.660
But, yeah, basically like that, all around the Paris catacombs.
00:45:38.960
And so that was part of one of the demonic places you guys checked out?
00:45:42.300
So it was one of the four episodes of Hell Month, but it was, like, really surreal
00:45:46.520
because that was the closest we'd ever really been to, like, dead bodies.
00:45:52.080
So, like, we had our guide that we had just met, Shadow Gaspard.
00:45:59.920
We were like, there's no way this guy's going to leave us.
00:46:07.660
Like, we were only supposed to be down there for, like, seven, eight hours,
00:46:10.920
And we were, like, in our last investigation, realized, like, the time was up.
00:46:15.320
And then it took us, like, another hour to maybe, yeah, to find, like, the exit
00:46:21.060
because we would go to, like, where Gaspard thought there was going to be, like,
00:46:26.640
And the police would actively, like, seal it up with cement.
00:46:31.120
So we went to three different exits that we thought were exits,
00:46:41.480
All the people that we told to, like, worry about us are now worried about us.
00:46:46.700
So we had to go all the way back to our original entrance.
00:46:54.120
And there's no service down there until a bunch of texts.
00:47:05.980
The name Gaspard is of French and Parisian origin.
00:47:17.420
Yeah, that was actually one of the more crazy investigations.
00:47:22.620
Honestly, we actually just used a voice recorder.
00:47:27.820
But there was one rendition of this Japanese voice recorder
00:47:38.280
when they, like, play back the voice recording.
00:47:43.820
but then they'd get a couple other voices and sentences in it.
00:47:48.340
But then, like, later on, people were like, wait, no,
00:47:50.080
these are legit other people talking in a room that nobody else is in.
00:47:54.300
So now we use this as, like, basically ghost equipment.
00:47:56.620
And we can record on this voice recorder and ask a question
00:48:00.040
and play it back and there's actual conversations coming back to us
00:48:06.000
And it's the thought that these voice recorders can pick up frequencies
00:48:10.680
And so it's a literal way to have a conversation.
00:48:14.120
And so we will ask someone, like, we'll ask a spirit, like, you know,
00:48:20.980
Or, like, in this specific sense, we asked, like, are you dead or alive?
00:48:31.160
It was one of the craziest things I've ever heard.
00:48:32.860
And, again, that's why we bring guests that have never experienced this before
00:48:35.800
so that they can, like, see this for the first time.
00:48:40.440
Like, imagine you're sitting there underground next to thousands of skeletons
00:48:45.660
and you ask to a voice recorder, are you dead or alive?
00:48:51.220
There is a new voice that wasn't there saying, I'm alive.
00:49:12.360
Has there been an experience that hit you more emotionally than other experiences?
00:49:18.460
Yeah, not to go back to the same video we were just talking about, but also during Hell
00:49:26.080
And Sam had mentioned that we were really trying to push the bar and talk to the actual
00:49:31.980
And earlier I had mentioned, like, I'm Christian.
00:49:34.120
And so that was something that I was just like, no.
00:49:36.180
Like, I always feel like I'm overstepping the line, like being involved in the paranormal
00:49:41.940
as a Christian, as it is being involved in, like, occult magic and stuff like that.
00:49:50.760
But at the same time, like when our team first decided or came up with the idea of, like,
00:49:55.720
maybe we can, like, invite a witch to summon the devil.
00:49:57.960
I was like, guys, like, this is where I have to draw the line for, like, my witch sounds
00:50:08.980
But it's also interesting if you sometimes, if you want to talk to, you know, sometimes
00:50:13.580
you got to talk to this person to talk to that person, you know?
00:50:21.860
It was just, like, and we show it in the video as well, but, like, I basically pull Sam
00:50:25.820
to the side right before he's about to do this, like, ritual, I guess you could say.
00:50:30.320
And I had, like, a deep conversation with him where I was, like, nearly in tears talking
00:50:35.140
to him about, like, dude, like, we're making, like, YouTube videos.
00:50:40.640
Like, you are, like, meddling into some stuff that, like, I know you don't personally believe
00:50:44.760
in, but this has, like, everything to do, like, with my faith.
00:51:14.140
I could see that because you, you know, it's almost just like, like, if you say enough
00:51:18.500
bad stuff, it's like, you know, it's like, you become what you do, you know?
00:51:22.940
It's like, it's, I could see that when you, there's a reason why people probably don't do
00:51:30.940
But like, again, I am more so just like spreading hope to people.
00:51:34.520
And that's kind of how like I mentally cope with what I do for a living.
00:51:38.420
But like, again, when it has to like delve into like hellish things, like literally talking
00:51:43.600
to Satan, the devil himself, I was like, you know what?
00:51:54.140
But do you ever see any ghosts like that are like hot chicks?
00:51:57.040
Or is there ever any ghosts that are like yurking off or whatever?
00:52:02.360
I feel like ghosts are always just kind of fucking doing like trap shit.
00:52:07.240
I don't feel like any of them are like, are any of them ever being sexy?
00:52:19.480
If I were invisible, dude, I'd be fricking spraying, bro.
00:52:25.560
I've already got a problem and I'm fully visible.
00:52:41.580
Once I'm a ghost, everything's all grotton, homie.
00:52:51.600
Like, in the afterlife, they're like, what was that?
00:53:02.920
You guys are just like, you always pretend it's bird shit.
00:53:21.000
You know, most fellas enter the room wiener first.
00:53:37.760
Like someone gave your downstairs a pep talk and a gym membership.

Do you find yourself watching porno for longer periods of time and having trouble stopping?
00:56:16.560
Is porn affecting your relationship or dating life?
00:56:23.840
Watching pornography has become so commonplace today.
00:56:27.080
And oftentimes, men use porn to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety, and depression.
00:56:34.760
Shame and stigma prevent men from talking about these issues and getting help for them.

00:57:41.480
Do you guys know if the U.S. government has ever made a classification on paranormal activity?
00:57:57.120
I've mistaken which one it is right now, but in the Bell Witch Cave Trials, which is actually here in Tennessee, I think.
00:58:06.580
There was a case where somebody died and they ruled it in court as a death by paranormal.
00:58:13.840
And actually one of the presidents went to that location just to see the demons and confirmed that it was haunted.
00:58:21.180
So, I don't know if that's like the government getting behind paranormal, but they have acknowledged things like that.
00:58:32.960
The only widely cited case in which a death was officially attributed to paranormal causes is the Bell Witch Haunting in Adams, Tennessee, specifically the 1820 death of John Bell Sr.
00:58:47.380
And I think he's also the lead singer for widespread panic as well.
00:58:56.400
According to numerous sources, John Bell's death was attributed by his family and several contemporaries to the Bell Witch, a supernatural entity that tormented the Bell family beginning in 1817.
00:59:06.240
The case is notable because Tennessee is reported to have recognized John Bell's death as caused by this supernatural, making it unique in American legal and folklore history.
00:59:18.340
Yeah, I think this is the only cited death that is like recognized as paranormal.
00:59:24.780
Most people are thinking – most people think like, hey, you know, no one's died because of the paranormal and no one gets hurt.
00:59:30.360
But there's a lot of people that get hurt, and there is this one death that people have said.
00:59:35.780
And I think this is the case as well that a president at the time went to this location too.
00:59:42.320
John Bell's phenomenon grew so – and this is on perplexity.
00:59:46.140
The phenomenon grew so intense that John Bell developed a mysterious illness, and after finding a strange vial of black liquid next to his bed, oh, that would trip me out.
00:59:55.120
But if I even find, like, a girl's gum next to my bed, I can't even sleep good.
01:00:00.720
His son tested it on a cat, which died suddenly.
01:00:03.760
The Bell Witch allegedly claimed credit for poisoning John Bell, who died on December 20th, 1820.
01:00:26.500
The U.S. president who was most famously associated with a visit to the Bell Witch Cave was Andrew Jackson.
01:00:31.360
As a general and later as president, Jackson reportedly visited the Bell family property in Adams, Tennessee during the height of the Bell Witch disturbances.
01:00:39.600
According to legend and multiple historical accounts, Jackson and his entourage experienced unexplained phenomena and chose to leave early,
01:00:46.460
with Jackson famously quoted as saying he would rather face the entire British Army and spend another night with the Bell Witch.
01:01:00.300
It's not just some random, like, homeless guy they brought over to assess the situation.
01:01:04.560
Like, they brought the president who was like, dude, I'm not doing that ever again.
01:01:20.860
It makes me think about how, like, over the years, like, schizophrenia and these different things,
01:01:25.940
like, we've given a lot of things a scientific term now also to make them marketable to medicine.
01:01:32.000
But you don't think about how many of those things could just be also spiritual in nature.
01:01:39.460
You know, I'm not saying that schizophrenia is spiritual in nature, even though I'm sure the spirit is heavily affected.
01:01:46.340
You don't know what something could have happened in a past life that's now come through and is affecting a spirit in this life or affecting someone in this life.
01:01:54.420
And it's just looked at these days as a semi-common disease that we have, but it's something that's far greater than that or used to be deemed that way, you know?
01:02:07.780
It did seem more fun back then to believe in stuff, too.
01:02:10.820
I think because more people were believing things.
01:02:12.800
Now a lot of our beliefs just, like, are looking at our phone, and before our beliefs used to, like, go into the air, you know?
01:02:20.740
I feel like, yeah, we're, like, facing a really secular time of, like, everyone's just like,
01:02:24.700
ah, like, if I don't see it on Chatty PT, then I'm not going to believe it type of thing.
01:02:28.960
But no one's, like you said, like, believing and, like, putting themselves out there to actually experience these things.
01:02:34.260
Because at the end of the day, it's so much harder to believe anything online, like anything over, you know, a video.
01:02:40.760
Yeah, I wouldn't believe a ghost video from 10 years ago before I started this.
01:02:45.380
And then I only started believing because I physically experienced it myself in person.
01:02:49.360
So I fully, like, you know, empathize with all the people that are online watching our videos being, like, that's cool and all that you guys do this, but I can't believe it until I see it, you know?
01:02:58.700
So I would encourage a lot of people who are, like, into this type of thing to actually, you know, go and experience these things or put yourself out there and try.
01:03:07.480
It's like if you just try to take someone's word for it, you know, whatever.
01:03:11.060
But if you were to go to church and actually read these things and, like, go for it and really put yourself in there, then you might find God.
01:03:17.340
Like, oh, I'll notice the more I pray, the more when I walk into certain rooms or whatever, I can feel, like, my knees almost tingle a bit.
01:03:25.360
Like, I want to, you know, I want to hit my knees right there and pray, right?
01:03:31.440
Like, yeah, for sure, whatever you practice and lean into becomes more of you, you know?
01:03:36.060
And we probably used to be more connected to the spirit realm overall.
01:03:40.400
You know, I'm sure, like, Native Americans especially were so connected to it and, like, really lived by it and had a real, like, I bet they had, like, a real, like, gigahertz connection with, like, a, you know what I'm saying?
01:03:54.000
Now it's, like, the second that you go and take a shit, you're just, like, swiping TikTok or something.
01:03:57.900
It's, like, not like you have a single moment away from distraction and entertainment.
01:04:07.940
It's crazy not to have a second to wonder when we're part of something that's so wondrous.
01:04:14.540
We'll get to the end of our lives and one of our last thoughts will be, like, I was looking at my phone the whole time, you know?
01:04:19.960
The entire, oh, that's a sad thought right there.
01:04:27.100
I literally won't even believe I'm dead until I check my phone.
01:04:37.380
Let me tap right back in here just to finish this.
01:04:40.040
The U.S. government has not officially acknowledged the existence of ghosts as real supernatural entities, but there have been legal and cultural instances where haunted properties or ghost stories were referenced because of their impact on property value or cultural significance.
01:04:52.560
Yeah, there's actually a lot of, like, movies and stuff, obviously, that are based on, like, real-life hauntings and things like that.
01:05:02.420
Like, things happen so crazily, like, over decades, or, like, families get traumatized to the point that they become movies.
01:05:09.460
And what's awesome is you see, especially the recent ones that are happening in the last couple decades, there's so much documentation of them that it's really crazy to back things up and see these stories.
01:05:20.100
And people sometimes have video evidence or audio evidence of, like, people getting possessed and things like that.
01:05:25.440
And so it's really, really cool when we get to, like, go to places like that.
01:05:29.640
Like, for example, I don't know if you just recently saw the Conjuring video or Conjuring movie.
01:05:37.440
Yeah, so the Smurl House Conjuring movie just came out.
01:05:42.700
It's called Last Rites, and that was based on the Smurl House.
01:05:46.040
But that was one of the cases that the most famous demonologist ever, Ed and Lorraine Warren, investigated.
01:05:52.580
And there was a demonic entity that was literally, like, petrifying this, like, family for 13 years.
01:05:58.940
Yeah, they described this demonic entity as, like, an 8-foot-tall lizard man with, like, red eyes and scaly, like, scales, I guess you could say.
01:06:07.640
That would physically assault Jack and Janet Smurl, who were the parents, and, like, lift them up from their beds and chuck them against the wall.
01:06:25.800
Dude, but I believe something like this could happen.
01:06:27.820
The Smurl House haunting refers to a series of widely publicized claims of paranormal activity.
01:06:37.140
Oh, it says here the family's German shepherd was reportedly levitated and slammed into a wall.
01:06:43.540
But every single member of the family was attacked.
01:06:45.960
And we're talking, like, they would be picked up and thrown against the wall, like, to the point of, like, the wife, like, broke bones because of the spirit.
01:06:54.940
Like, a little girl in the family was thrown down the staircase.
01:06:58.780
A ceiling fan flew off the ceiling and smacked one of the little girls and almost killed her as well.
01:07:05.280
It was, like, the ghost were, like, physically and sexually assaulting the whole family.
01:07:18.440
Yeah, experiencing something with yourself that you caused.
01:07:27.680
And your mom, my mom would still have gotten pissed at me.
01:07:36.040
But, dude, that's how to be so, how did they come and go in their home?
01:07:41.000
Well, like, the Smurl House, we were the first people since the demonologist, Ed, Lorraine, Warren, like, we're the first people to investigate it since then 40 years ago.
01:07:49.160
So it was really, really, like, a cool experience to be able to go in there and, like, understand, like, what was the haunting?
01:07:58.360
There's one that's really famous in Rhode Island, which is the videos that are being played right now.
01:08:02.340
And then there's this one that we haven't released yet.
01:08:07.780
And, yeah, nobody has been there besides Ed and Lorraine Warren, like, 40 years ago, 50 years ago.
01:08:18.580
Like, how do you ease into, like, a new place that has a haunting, right, that has an energy like that?
01:08:25.660
Like, do you approach it differently on the way there?
01:08:28.560
Like, do you bring certain things with you to set up an atmosphere?
01:08:33.600
Like, is there some sort of, like, precursor to your approach?
01:08:39.800
I mean, especially something like that that hasn't been investigated for so long.
01:08:42.680
And actually, at the time, 40 years ago, it was believed that Ed and Lorraine Warren, like, brought in a priest and they did, like, an exorcism and got rid of the demons.
01:08:52.140
So, like, theoretically, this place hasn't really been haunted for the last 40 years.
01:08:57.700
So when you go back into there, it's mainly like the shell of the home of said spirit.
01:09:01.940
And so in order to, like, make sure we were able to, like, contact the same person, we brought in a witch or a priestess.
01:09:12.340
She actually, like, has helped us with a lot of these types of things and teaching us about the occult.
01:09:16.120
And she brought in a spirit board, which is pretty much like a good Ouija board.
01:09:21.240
It's not like one of those Hasbro ones you buy at Target.
01:09:29.540
She actually helped with a full-on, like, summoning ritual.
01:09:37.060
And we were able to talk to this thing, like, on a Ouija board.
01:09:39.660
And what's absolutely crazy about that is, like, I never really believed in Ouija boards.
01:09:44.740
I just thought, you know, it was a fun gimmick.
01:09:46.580
Like, you know, especially the ones at Target, you know, I guess whatever.
01:09:50.400
But when you do it correctly, like with a witch, it is the most insane experience you've ever had.
01:09:59.960
And I don't know if you've ever seen a Ouija board, but there's a bunch of, like, letters and numbers all over this board.
01:10:04.440
And it said that, you know, you move this planchette around and it spells things out.
01:10:08.960
But the feeling is so unlike anything you've ever felt before, where the wood gets pulled out from underneath your fingertips.
01:10:19.580
It's literally, you can feel a different presence pulling you in directions.
01:10:26.940
I never believed in the Ouija board until doing it, like, correctly with professional Pythian priestess.
01:10:32.000
And, like, I remember the first time we did it with her, like, off camera, we were like, did you do that?
01:10:39.800
Because, like, our fingers were going, like, this crazy.
01:10:42.480
And it wasn't, like, just, like, a little slow thing.
01:10:44.280
It was, like, sometimes, like, yanking to, like, yes or no or all around the board.
01:10:52.800
Well, especially if it was, like, priestess, what's your number or whatever.
01:10:55.440
Then you'd be like, oh, that's definitely, that's holy.
01:11:00.280
Like, to that point, though, like, we'd ask questions, especially the first time we did it.
01:11:04.920
We'd be like, the first time we ever did that, the first Conjuring house, we asked the spirit, like, yo, do you like us?
01:11:20.120
Because, honestly, like, spirits are just, like, people, like, in real life.
01:11:24.800
I mean, if there's, like, a bad person you meet in real life, there's probably going to be a bad person in the afterlife.
01:11:29.480
That doesn't mean they're, like, a demonic thing.
01:11:31.760
But, like, yeah, you'll run into, like, bad apple sort of people all the time that just don't want to talk to you or anything, which is understandable.
01:11:39.180
Yeah, it could just be somebody who's just chilling, somebody who's having lunch or whatever, and you guys are bothering them or something.
01:11:46.320
Some of them do a Ouija board, and they're like, fuck off.
01:11:49.780
It's like you're, like, calling out, like, you know, cold calling somebody, and they're like, God, just shut up.
01:12:03.980
Like, a long time ago, people cared about that, but that's totally normal now, dude.
01:12:10.380
Some ghost has been waiting forever to come out of the closet, and he finally gets it through a Ouija board, and you're like, dude, nobody cares anymore.
01:12:25.280
But, dude, what was crazy about this, like, recent experience with the spirit board at the Smurl House.
01:12:29.260
And this was at the Smurl House, and this was where The Conjuring was?
01:12:49.840
Yeah, like, if you look at the old tapes from Ed and Lorraine Warren, the demonologists that helped try to save this house, you'll see, like, exactly the same layout and everything.
01:13:01.440
So, some of these places, it's, like, going back in time, too.
01:13:06.680
Yeah, we were doing the spirit board session in the living room of this duplex.
01:13:09.880
And, again, like, imagine just, like, a regular house.
01:13:12.740
Like, there was literally Cheez-Its, like, on, like, the counter and stuff like that.
01:13:18.280
And we uncovered the craziest evidence about the Smurl family that could actually get us in trouble.
01:13:25.280
And so, like, when this comes out, like, on Halloween, dude, it's going to cause, like, an uproar in, like, the paranormal community of things.
01:13:36.560
Dude, I wonder if there's, like, an apparent, like, a bus stop that had, like, a crazy, like, a lot of people.
01:13:42.460
I'm just trying to think of neat places that aren't, like, kind of, like, that aren't, like, a building or something where you could investigate also.
01:13:58.200
Where there's not, like, an edifice, like, an entity, like, a building, like a.
01:14:01.760
I mean, like, to that point, you would think that everywhere could be potentially haunted, right?
01:14:08.600
It's just maybe places that are a location have more energy or they were a home in a past life.
01:14:15.920
Like you said, maybe a bus stop or maybe, you know, like, a favorite area to play is, like, on a playground or something like that as a kid.
01:14:23.980
Maybe something has a deeper meaning or connection to a human and that could be haunted as well.
01:14:28.200
There's a lot of times, like, we'll go to a spot and it's not, like, haunted by something, like, evil or scary.
01:14:32.720
But sometimes there was, you know, like, a big, like, like, for example, we own a spot called Farrar Elementary in Iowa.
01:14:54.200
It's functional for, like, ghost hunting tours.
01:15:04.920
But it used to be a hub, like, what, like, 100 years ago where, like, a lot of people would just go there and party.
01:15:10.620
So, all the spirits there or a lot of the spirits there just, like, hang around because it was a cool spot in life.
01:15:16.940
So, not only was it an elementary school at the time, but it was also where people, like, got married.
01:15:25.480
And so, a lot of the spirits there are, like, really nice.
01:15:29.920
And even, like, outside of this area, like, even in the woods or the playground, there's always going to be, like, haunted locations.
01:15:38.620
It's interesting to think about how I show up to places and then what I want out of them.
01:15:42.800
Whether that place is an actual building, you know, or if it's to show up to spirits, whatever you want, you know.
01:15:50.420
It's just about, like, how I show up and what do I want.
01:15:53.700
You know, that could be if I'm going to get an education, if I'm going to summon an entity.
01:15:58.740
If I'm going to have a relationship with somebody, you know.
01:16:04.580
I'm afraid to look at my phone because I don't know if she's texting me back, dude.
01:16:12.700
Like, I met her the other night and I felt like we, like, had some chemistry, right?
01:16:17.680
Like, I felt like there was something there, right?
01:16:20.160
You know when you feel like there's something there?
01:16:22.200
You know when you meet someone, you feel like there's something there, right?
01:16:24.700
Because you meet a lot of people, there's nothing there.
01:16:27.600
Sometimes you have two drinks and pretend there's something there.
01:16:38.140
But, uh, but I felt like there was something there.
01:16:41.960
So I got her number and then I sent her a text today.
01:16:44.040
I said, uh, Hey, my buddy was thinking about asking you out.
01:17:10.980
Like there was an entity in me of like, that always got rid of, that is just constantly
01:17:15.760
That energy was fucking summoning like the most rejection in the world.
01:17:26.180
What are some of the most haunted places in America?
01:17:28.680
Have you, do we, is there even a map that shows that I'm sure you guys know this?
01:17:33.500
There's a bunch that are like really, really cool.
01:17:40.260
East coast is like, you got to think it's just way older, you know?
01:17:43.740
So like way more history has happened in there.
01:17:47.400
Um, but yeah, there, there's a couple that are like really, really cool.
01:17:50.900
So obviously the conjuring house that we talked about is a massive place in Rhode
01:17:56.420
There's a couple of really, really cool spots like the Winchester mystery house.
01:18:01.920
There is a house in San Jose, California that has like 130 rooms or something like
01:18:10.760
It was built for like almost a century, uh, purely to try to like, you know, like,
01:18:17.720
have you ever heard of a Winchester rifles at all?
01:18:20.360
So it was that, that family like owned this estate.
01:18:23.780
And it's believed that actually this has become like some sort of, uh, hub for spirits.
01:18:29.620
Like there's so many rooms and it's so like known to be haunted that, that people bring
01:18:35.940
It's almost like a grand central station for spirits now.
01:18:39.780
Uh, and yeah, this is definitely one of the most haunted places.
01:18:49.200
I mean, even if you don't believe in ghosts, it's one of the coolest things in the United
01:18:58.200
And it's crazy because like all, none of the architecture makes sense.
01:19:02.700
It's like, there will be three, three steps up to a floor and then seven steps down to
01:19:07.980
another floor or like staircases that lead to nowhere or like a door that if you open
01:19:14.020
on the second floor, we'll just drop you down and you'll fall off.
01:19:18.520
It's like the most bizarre thing you've ever seen.
01:19:25.620
There's things like that or like, uh, on the other side of the United States, there's
01:19:29.180
this thing called the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and it's like the second biggest asylum
01:19:35.440
And there's like hundreds of rooms, uh, about people that used to get lobotomies.
01:19:43.040
It's one of the creepiest places we've ever been.
01:19:47.220
It almost looks like, um, University of Syracuse.
01:19:52.080
And this, that building right there is only one of like 20 on the property.
01:19:56.240
It's a historic former psychiatric hospital located in Weston, West Virginia.
01:20:00.840
Best known for its haunting atmosphere, architectural significance, and role in the history of mental
01:20:07.640
The asylum originally followed the Kirkbride Plan, a psychiatric hospital designed emphasizing
01:20:15.680
Um, many patients were admitted for reasons now considered unscientific, such as asthma,
01:20:25.940
If you beat your wife, like you could go to this asylum.
01:20:29.920
Even if you tickle her hard, if she's sensitive.
01:20:33.360
Dude, people would get admitted like, like husbands would drop their wives over there if
01:20:37.540
they were like reading a bad book or something.
01:20:40.080
Like pretty much you could just leave your wife to die type of thing.
01:20:42.760
Um, but yeah, in that specific location and the asylum was one of our crazy expenses ever,
01:20:49.080
we were just asking out to see if anything could, you know, do a knock or give us a sign or
01:20:54.920
And between Colby and I, we heard like a pretty scary old man voice say the word Lily, like in our ears.
01:21:06.500
And apparently like, yeah, we asked around and Lily is a spirit that is known to be like a child figure.
01:21:14.200
That's actually more of like this darker entity, but like we heard it with our ears and there's like three other
01:21:20.160
people that were around that also like vouched for us and then we're like, wait, no, there was
01:21:24.700
another voice that was not in between you two that talked and the camera caught it.
01:21:30.480
So it's on camera, but the recorder that we were using, asking questions, didn't.
01:21:35.100
So it makes no sense that like the voice could only show up on one thing.
01:21:38.760
Unless the gig, the Hertz of it or something was a certain, is it called Hertz?
01:21:45.100
Unless the frequency of it, the audio frequency of it was a certain pitch or pentameter or something.
01:21:48.700
I believe there's so many different like frequencies that we just do not have the ability to, uh,
01:21:58.060
Hearing or seeing like, you just look at this color scale of what I can see and it's just
01:22:02.880
It's like, I don't know, like 10% of the actual, I don't know, whatever you look at.
01:22:12.160
But I'm also saying, dude, what if we had like 40 senses and we're pulling in all that
01:22:22.340
What, what, what's one last thing we could go in that would be good for you guys?
01:22:26.560
Oh, maybe what would make you stay around to be a ghost?
01:22:31.480
Um, honestly, if Sam still had the YouTube channel and I passed away, I would just like
01:22:37.320
Like I'd be following him to every, like every haunted place and just shove them down the
01:22:43.620
But I'm like, hell yeah, this is the craziest video ever.
01:22:59.240
It's been good to get to meet you guys and just like, uh, you know, we can just stay
01:23:02.500
in touch or something, you know, this has been fun and I needed something that was just
01:23:10.080
I mean, a lot of people like, ah, the ghost or whatever, that's not real.
01:23:12.880
But I feel like you, you get the mindset that we're going to with it, whether or not
01:23:19.420
I think, well, I think it surprised me, you know, cause, uh, Dave Attela is one of my favorite
01:23:23.720
He's like, um, I was watching and I'm paraphrasing it, but he's like, I was watching, uh, ghost
01:23:31.120
It involves two of my favorite things, wandering around aimlessly and sheer disappointment.
01:23:43.500
I never had thought of it in the sense of like, I want something to be here.
01:23:51.060
And I've been thinking about stuff like that in my life recently.
01:23:53.000
And just like meeting God halfway, meeting the spirits halfway that are out there.
01:23:56.200
Like, how can I show up to receive the best things that are out there waiting for me?
01:24:03.320
Um, and that would also kind of translate to real life too.
01:24:05.580
Like whether that's spiritual or like, like you said, like show up to your next like friend
01:24:09.320
gathering or your family or like your relationship, like putting in the effort to get what you
01:24:15.560
Like sometimes I want my holidays to be great and I'll just think that somebody else is going
01:24:19.540
Like I go there, I go in the living room, I yell about a casserole or something.
01:24:29.060
Then I eat a nap and then I leave and I'm like, God, I wish our family had connected better.
01:24:36.020
But it's like, that's what I brought to it, you know?
01:24:40.460
So I think, um, just having a whole nother way to look at that and then to ask, like
01:24:46.340
if I wanted to like my father's passed away, everybody has family members that have passed
01:24:49.300
away, but to say, Hey dad, I'm thinking about you today.
01:24:53.040
Share with me what you're thinking, you know, think with me, feel with me.
01:24:56.700
I want to feel your feelings today or I want to know you love me today.
01:25:04.900
Like when we open our hands up to the world, to the sky, to the universe, you feel something,
01:25:12.000
And so I think that, that, uh, this is just a great reminder.
01:25:16.000
Um, uh, before you guys go, is there a goat of ghost hunting?
01:25:20.900
Is there a, is there someone like who was the first ghost hunter?
01:25:27.440
Probably Ed and Lorraine Warren are like the goats.
01:25:49.620
Like the, the ghosts are scared of him, you know, like, like, like, obviously.
01:25:56.320
Yeah, he's like the kid rock of ghosts kind of.
01:26:04.920
If you have, if you ever go to Vegas, you should go to his museum.
01:26:10.500
Uh, he has a bunch of like haunted objects and we actually got to hold some of the most
01:26:15.380
like haunted dolls in the world, um, here, which is like really, really crazy.
01:26:19.220
Uh, yeah, there's something special that people about to collect, collect these things and
01:26:36.160
You know, only for the spooky stuff, but also just like dressing up.
01:26:42.180
It's kind of the only time people even go talk to their neighbors anymore is you'll run
01:26:44.760
over there for candy, poison candy, like give me some candy.
