0:00 I love watching people's reaction to this. So it's a video, it's me, I'm in white, my friend is in black, and we are sitting on a bed, we have asked our neighbor to come in and take a photo of us. It's up in the attic, which they have converted into guest rooms up there. Alright, so that's the whole video, 15 seconds. Okay. Yeah. What? Yeah. She has no face, she has no feet. She looks like she's either laughing or screaming, but she doesn't make any noise. That is so creepy. I can't stop watching it. Hi, Caitlyn.

0:41 Hi, Cassie. Hi, creepy people. Hello. If you're new to our creepy corner of the world, this is PNW Haunts and homicides, not "Honks" and homicides, where we chat about true crime, the paranormal, and all things creepy and/or goosey in the Pacific Northwest. I was going to say, are you sure it's not Honks? We've been called “Humps." Why not Honks? You know, the transcript translator, AI person machine, seems to think that we're Honks.

1:24 So we're thinking about changing it and just going strictly goose related stories from now on. Listen, you guys, I think you know how I feel about those feathered fucks. And I think that there is a breadth of content that we haven't even begun to access. You want to talk about true crime? Look at those, goosey. Goosey motherfuckers. First of all, those feathered fucks. I knew you would like that. But when you're saying those goosey, I thought you were going to say those goosey lips. Goosey lips. Goosey lips. Goose have lips. Why do we wonder why things have lips?

2:06 Last time it was what does SpongeBob have lips? Now let's do goose have lips. We're obsessed with chapstick. Like what is happening with the lips over here? I don't, you know, I think it's best if we move on. Well, we also do a terror reading at the end of the episode for deeper insight into the topic that we talk about for the day. So make sure you stick around. If you like that kind of shit. Yeah. And we might talk more about gooses and gussies. Guses? Guses? We don't know.

Thanks for listening and supporting the show. Thanks for listening and supporting the show. Well this week is a creepy people chronicles which means we read the stories that you sent us.

3:35 I do so love this. And then we do a terror reading about it. We already kind of said that but we do it for each story. So if you send us a story, you will get your very own terror read if we read it on air, live on air on the air live from New York live from New York. It is Saturday night. It's literally Saturday night. It is Saturday night. I made that work with my magic. I'm just saying maybe at some point if you guys really keep us rolling, keep us growing, maybe we'll do live from Saturday night.

4:18 Oh I was like, do you think we're going to be hosting SNL? That would be so cool. We could perform. We can do the musical performance. Okay, I just feel like Tina Fey would want to be my friend. She's not even on SNL anymore. I know but I feel like she would come back so that she could meet me. Well Amy Poehler would want to be my friend. Are we best friends? Amy Poehler is my friend. You can't have them all. You can also hang out with her. Okay. Okay, I'll take Pete. Should we move on? Yeah.

4:59 I have something actually really cool that I wanted to do today because I just went to Fallout Boy. Yeah, you did. I'm showing Patreon my boobies right now with my Fallout Boy shirt. I went with some of my very best friends in the entire world and I guess I'm going to include one of my very best friends, her husband in this equation. Okay, I guess you're one of my very best friends too now because they got VIP tickets. And they got a special swag bag. Stop it. And my friend's husband was like, I like Fallout Boy but like, I don't need a swag bag and he gave it to me.

5:43 And I started crying. I was like, no, fuck you. There was so much shit in the swag bag. One of them. You have it there. I assume. I have one of the items. It is a magic 8 ball. With Fallout Boy fucking lyrics inside. I'm dying. I'm dying. So right now I want you all in your head to ask a question. I'm so upset. Keep your question secret though. It's only in your head and then I'm going to reveal one answer and read it and that's your answer for all of your guys in your head questions.

6:28 Did that make any sense? I think so. That's how I talk when I'm like too excited to think. I mean, I get that. Okay, think of your question. Okay. It says, sugar, we're going down. I mean, that kind of sounds like it might be like a negative thing but I don't think it is because I think it's so. We're going down to Pound Town or something, you know. Oh, that would make sense. Okay. That makes sense. Or you know, like given head going down. Yeah, I think that's a good one. Is that what that means? Thank you for explaining that. So we got an email. (pnwhauntsandhomicides@gmail.com) Neither one of us have read it.

7:11 So we're just going to cold read it right here right now for you. creepy people. And you were nervous about cold reading. I know. Because we do it all the time, but like I edit out every single mistake I make so that you guys think I'm perfect. And only the Patreon knows that I can't read. Can I start email starts? Happy Sunday, ladies. Happy Sunday slash Saturday to you. I think about some of the creepy things that have happened in your homes. And I thought I would share mine with you. We're talking about mostly Caitlyn's home. Yeah. Yeah. I've lived in my home since 2017 and I'm the second owner.

8:00 The woman that lived here put a mobile on the property in 1978 and was here until she needed ongoing medical care. My home has always felt very welcoming. No issues besides occasional critters since it is in the woods. Oh boy. What kind of critters? I have a lot of questions and opossums and birds. I don't know. Bats? Listen, you know how I feel about the winged "B word". The winged "B word".

8:41 Okay. I have a friend that I got close to and let stay here when she needed. She told me my living room creeped her out at night. I have curtains on one side and the window that faces the woods doesn't. Oh, I mean, because like who's going to be standing in the woods looking in your home? Why do you need curtains? Okay, but you always still need curtains. I need curtains. I don't like it. I have seen a lot and I stayed out in like a country house where like there's the neighbors can't see into your house. No, I don't like that. But yeah, they were like we leave the blinds open all the time.

9:21 You can close them if you want and I was like immediately I'm closing all these blinds because I'm terrified someone's creeping in the woods with a chainsaw. I don't need that in my life. Yeah. That's just I think I don't know. It's just like anxiety like what's that called intrusive thoughts we're just sitting there in front of a window that's open and you're like I wonder who's waiting out there to murder me. I mean, I think that's probably simultaneously that's like the definition of intrusive thoughts but also like probably hanging out with me. I don't know. I've always been like this but I just grew up watching you know the news.

10:06 Yeah, it's the contents. It's the content. It hasn't always been me in your ear. It's the content. If I was a man I would just leave those blinds open. Basically. Anyway, we're getting off topic. As always, one of the windows has curtains but the one's facing the woods does not. I have fallen asleep on my couch with my two dogs many of times and no issues. Back to her telling me she was creeped out. Okay. Yes, we want to hear about why. Yeah, we do. We do. It's cute. I'm like we do shaking her head. She said she felt like someone was watching her at night. Girl Same.

10:47 I can't. No, thank you. We were eating dinner and instead of begging, my dogs were hyper focused on the wall with my coat hooks unsubscribe where their treats in the pocket. That's a good question. But that's what I would think. Maybe there's some leftover teardrops in the pockets. They started to low growl and then the hackles came up. Nope. My friend and I just stared frozen. Kaia, I'm assuming it's K-A-I-A. Yeah. And I-R-I-E. Those are her dog's names.

11:28 Okay. So Kaia and Irie slowly started to approach the wall. They both yelped in a ram like something hit them. But they were headed towards a wall? Yeah. Like they were staring at the coat right. Okay. I really like the wall where the coat- No. No, no, no. No, thank you. Ooh. What if like the hooks were like the hook hands, like the candy man. Doesn't he have a hook hand? Yeah. Yeah. Were there bees on the wall? I don't like that. At the same time, two coats shot off the hooks. I mean, literally flew up, not like they slid off the hooks.

12:11 Well, that's weird. Yeah. Explain that to me. I mean, I guess I've hung a coat and like- But it like immediately slides off. Like it doesn't wait until two dogs are staring at it. Yeah, but it doesn't propel itself. It doesn't like- Yeah. It's not a projectile. Oh. Okay. Ooh, something was there. It's a puppy, and I'm not happy about that. I don't like that. This is very reminiscent of when we were having lots of spookiness here. Yeah, we sure puppies. I don't like it. Did I say I was so frickin scared? No. But now I know. No. My dogs were shaking. Then I drove her home with my dogs.

12:51 I immediately sage my house when I got home. I'm glad you took the dogs with you and then leave them there. Yeah. That's my least favorite part of like any movie where something scary happens and they're like, all right, well, guess we'll leave. Bye dogs. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Okay. Fast forward two months or so. I was talking on the phone with that friend. We were talking about having a girl's night. Again, my dogs got really agitated and the hair on the back of their neck stood up. I don't like it. I told her I'd call her later and got off the phone. The hairs went down and my dogs settled back on the couch.

13:35 Hmm. There seems to be a common theme here. Is it her? I feel like it's the friend. Yeah. That's the thing. I mean, not like she's doing anything bad, but like something's attached to her or something. That's what I was thinking immediately. Yeah. Not like blaming this on your friend. I've ever been more thirsty. Okay, there's more. Like I've said, I've never felt uncomfortable here nor has anyone else. Needless to say, I think either my friend has, we jumped the gun here. Needless to say, I think either my friend has an attached entity. Something is in my home that doesn't like her a protective question mark. Oh, I don't know, but I haven't been hanging out with her over the past two years and nothing has happened.

14:20 What do you guys think? Oh. Why? That makes me sad. And then it says, sincerely, Michelle, Kaya and Iry. And if I pronounce your dog's names wrong, let me know. I see what you mean now by way, jump the gun, but yeah. I don't know. It might not be her fault, but it does seem like maybe there's something in particular about her. I first thought when I was reading that was like something is attached to her that like doesn't want her to have friends. Oh. But then like, that's interesting. How is it showing up when she's just on the phone with her?

15:04 Well, and that's interesting too. And that's the only thing that makes me think like, well, you know, one time she was actually present, one time it was just over the phone. So like maybe that's just a coincidence. But like, I don't know. That is weird though, that like the only two experiences she's ever had with anything involving this house was when her friend was there and when she was talking to her. I mean, she's the one coming to bed, right? So for sure. Yeah, I really don't know why. Like I was getting the sense that like something like you've all attached to her that like just like doesn't want her to have other friends.

15:47 But like that's just part of like your intuition. Yeah, too. I feel like it's making me itchy. Thinking about it. Do you get itchy when you like are feeling things? That's like a sign. I feel like I get itchy when I'm like really nervous. So I feel I probably am constantly itching and not even realizing it. I'm a very fidgety. But I mean, you know, because you enter a podcast and you like. But well, gosh, I don't know that we like really gave any answers and I don't know if we have really any advice because what are you going to do?

16:27 Be like, hey, can I sage you friend? Like I think something is attached to you. I don't know that's I mean, that is a tough one because if you do think that it's attached to her. Yeah, how do you approach that? Yeah, I will say this, the thing that I thought of immediately Cassie is like at the same time, you know, if this person really is a good friend that you would hate to lose, as opposed to somebody that now you just kind of are like, I just don't really hang out with her anymore. Now, I think back to when I was having a ton of spooky stuff going on over here and obviously not everybody wants to have that happening.

17:15 But feel like for you, it's more of a draw than anything. Yeah. You know, if this is a good friend, you know, maybe, you know, maybe it's worth exploring is there another option? I guess that's what I'm trying to say. It's like the longest walk for the shortest glass of water possible. But yeah, I think I mean, it's been two years. So I don't know if you want to like reach back out, but maybe if you met in like a neutral zone that wasn't your house. And like if weird shit is happening there, then like, you know, it's her. That's a good suggestion.

17:57 And I think meeting in a neutral place, just when you haven't seen somebody in that long in general is probably a good idea. That's true. Be like, Hey, I missed you. Hope maybe you can text and then maybe like nothing will happen from the text message or text her when you're out of the house. Maybe if you don't want to spook your dog. Oh, yeah. But then like part of me is also like, is that a good litmus test? Like do you call her when you are home? And then third time is a charm. I mean, I don't know if we want to like test it back home again. Yeah. I mean, it just really depends on what your tolerance for.

18:38 Yeah. For that sort of riskiness and shenanigans is mine is particularly low. So also maybe like if she has social media, check that out and like she have a lot of other friends. Yeah, what's going on? Or you know, she just kind of a loner and then maybe maybe that's her. attachment, that's like driving everyone away. I don't know. Do some more investigating, I think. I do think I think that's smart. Yeah. Now feels like a good time to take a "winermission." But don't be scared. We'll be right back.

19:18 You guys, we're back. And don't worry. We did get more wine. Well, of course. Well, should we? I feel like so I brought my moon oracle deck, but this isn't the right deck for this story. I feel like you need to pull a tarot card. Okay. Yeah, I do think this kind of calls for a more traditional tarot read. Okay. Sending vibes. It's our tarot-torial one. It's the one that has like the sort of cheat sheet of tarot cards. Okay. So I'm going to do what we did the last time that we were remote. So I'm going to fan these out and I need you to just give me like where your ring finger is now.

20:04 Whatever card it's on. My actual ring finger. Sorry, your non ring finger. Oh, okay. I mean, it's a ring finger, but you're non wedding ring finger. Yeah. Okay. So this is interesting. It's the five of cups. Oh, okay. I know. Like that's not like a great one. Not great. So there's five of them. Yeah. Because there's the Michelle and her friend, the two dogs and the entity. Oh, that's interesting. Okay. All right. Okay. So just based on kind of the key terms and everything that are on the deck standard, the key words are sadness, loss, grief, remorse, trauma, heartbreak and anger.

21:00 Oh, I don't like any of those. Are you sure? Because also this card is linked to Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer. Scorpio makes sense. Yeah. Cancer makes sense. Keep in secret. Also water and Mars. Okay. Okay. Key words are disappointments, sadness, loss, loneliness, do. And heartbreak. Yeah. Okay. Oh. One of the saddest cards in the tarot. The five of cups often shows a solitary person standing among overturned chalices, spilling their contents onto the ground.

21:46 The sense of despair, hopelessness and grief is painful to see. Although five is the number of change and movement, this card suggests an inability to rise above a sadness, loss or disappointment and move on. I really think she needs to talk to her friend. Yeah. I just like feel like this card is her like everything has been pushed away. Yeah. Definitely do it in a neutral zone. Yeah. I do think that's smart. Yeah. I do think that's smart. In any case, whether there's an attachment or anything else going on, I think that's a smart thing to do.

22:27 Just protect your space. Yeah. Protect your piece. I do have a theory, but we can talk about it after. Okay. A setback has left you feeling helpless and hopeless. That's quite the combo. And you can't see a way out of your pain. Most likely you've brought the loss or disappointment on yourself. So maybe it's not an actual attachment. That's literally what my thought was. Maybe she's just having so many dark emotions that there's like, you know, like a great cloud over her. Yeah. Like you can create like the energy that's like really bad energy that will like follow you around and the dogs.

23:11 Like go up on it. Yeah. I think that maybe makes a lot of sense. That's like a lot of the theories around like the poltergeist activity too, where she's flying everywhere. It's like someone's dark energy. Yeah. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. The five of cups shows you're focusing on what you lack rather than what you have or could have if you changed your attitude. Wow. I think of this as the self-pity card. In a reading about money, this card says you've endured losses, but all isn't lost.

23:52 Don't keep throwing good money after bad, which is I remember the first time I heard this saying and I was like, don't. Don't keep throwing good money after bad. Yeah. It just, it makes sense. It's like don't add insult to injury by continuing in this same pattern. In my mind. Yeah. The five also encourages you not to give up hope. In some cases, it warns against a financial matter you're considering. If the reading is about your work, you feel unvalued, unfulfilled, and unhappy in your current position.

24:34 And a job you'll enjoy more. In a reading about love, the upright five can signify the end of a relationship. You feel hurt, disappointed, perhaps resentful. This split may open new possibilities for you. So I don't know which way to take this because part of me says, does that refer to this friend relationship that, you know, oh, that is what's splitting up or does this refer to her friend as sort of being in this place of recovering from a relationship that is ended.

25:17 I don't know. Yeah. So just because we both, I think, yeah. I have an extra excerpt. Okay. There may be opportunities. The writer, Wade Smith and many other decks show three cups overturned and two upright. This suggests all is not lost to the person for whom the reading is being done. Opportunities exist, but the quarent may be so enmeshed in sadness and self-pity that she or he can't or won't see the possibilities that would lead to a happier place.

26:00 I just really feel, I mean, like I know we pull the card for the story and technically the person that sent the email, but I just feel like this card is your friend. Like I don't know what's going on in her life or anything. It's just, it's just what I'm getting. So if I'm wrong, I apologize. Well, and I mean, though we might be drawing the card for that person, it may extend to their experience outside of just themselves. And if this is someone that was, you know, perhaps close friend of hers, I feel like it's reasonable to think that when she's asking specifically about this person and about, you know, she shared these stories with us and then we pulled the card with that being sort of the basis, it makes sense to me that, you know, maybe it would be picking up on that other person's energy.

27:02 Yeah. It's very strong, obviously, if it's going through phones and shit. Yeah. Assuming it's not something at your house, which I don't think it is. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't sound like it, but, you know, certainly not an expert. I definitely think like, yeah, take it slow, maybe reaching out to her, you know, not inside your home and then like, don't expect things to be like super good with you guys right away. Like she might still be feeling down and, you know, whatever, but maybe she just needs like a little bit of someone to hang out with every now and then and that like slowly will start to make her feel better and like change her mindset, but like don't force it.

27:47 Just do that person. That's like, ugh, why do you, why are you sort of pressed? Well, do you have anything else to say about that or should we move on? Yeah. I think we covered that. Okay. I think we nailed it. Well now we have to get kind of emotional on you guys. Yeah. Sorry. We actually just recently learned some news that I think took both of us a little bit by surprise. A friend of ours from the podcasting community recently passed away.

28:33 Kate Wallinga and some of you may know her, some of you may not. She actually guest start on an episode of our show and just a lovely, amazing collaborative human who was so supportive of, you know, different types of creators and of the indie podcasting community in general. If you want to go back and listen to the episode that she did with us, it was Loni Kai's episode. I don't remember the episode number off the top of my head.

29:14 99. It's 99. Okay. 99. And then she was also in another creepy people chronicles where she told a story about the ghost Charlotte in her house. Oh my gosh. Wow. Yeah. And that was episode 105. So we'll tag those in the show notes. You know, we didn't know Kate for very long. And truthfully, the handful of hours that, you know, we spent with her, you know, it's such a small fraction of any, any one person in the group of their life.

29:54 But she's someone that even just a short time later looking back and reflecting on the time that we did spend with her, you know, she was very impactful. And it feels kind of appropriate that, you know, we never got around to doing another full episode with Kate. But she was the absolute spookyest bitch. She was so cool.

30:35 We do have a story that we had talked about expanding on with Kate and, you know, doing a full episode about the Lizzie Borden House. And so we're going to share that story this week as part of the creepy people Chronicles. So we really hope that you guys enjoy it. Yeah. So, yeah, the story, despite us crying, it was like really fun to listen to. It was such a funny story. It was a really good story.

31:16 It was spooky. It was funny. She tells a great fucking story. And in this story, she shows us a video. And I don't know if we can get access to the video now. I don't. I think so. I kind of looked through the email and I'm not sure if I saw it in there. I don't know if one of us saved it. But we can dig around and see if we can find the video that she's talking about. But we do have the Zoom video of when we talked to her. So we have our reactions to the video. And yeah, so we will definitely be posting that to Patreon. But yeah, she was just so easy to talk to.

31:57 I remember when we started talking to her, we just started talking about stuff. And she's like, hold on, we need to record. Don't stop. Yeah, talk about anything else. We need to. Yeah. She was just immediately so easy to talk to. And you just tell she loved talking to people and hearing what people have to say and having conversations. And she's like about anything. Yeah. Yeah. So Kate was just such an incredibly positive and warm, just a very friendly and genuine person. Just by like, she just, she really had some health struggles.

32:43 And looking back, I just don't think that anybody that was at, you know, I feel like of a better term. I mean, I say arms length distance. Like we were, I don't think that we understood that that meant that, you know, Kate might not be with us at this point. Yeah. My heart just like, I hate when people say my heart goes out to you, but like her kids and her husband and anyone who's close to her, I just like, I feel for you because like you said, we felt amazing. We felt her presence and her energy and her personality just in a couple of hours that we spent.

33:28 It was more than a couple. Yeah. We did it. We talked a while. We had to finally just hang up. We did an episode with her too. And then she came on our show. So it was like a whole, it was a while that we spent with her. But yeah, we, well, we also want to just pull a card for her really quick from my moon or a cult act because I think that she would think that was really cool. Yeah. She was super into it when we did the tarot. Yeah. She loved tarot. Sorry for the sniffles. Meanwhile, I am not sorry. All right.

34:09 Send me Kate energy. Ooh, this one like popped out. So I'm going to grab it. The card is joyous, which was like kind of one of the words you could use to describe her, which I think we basically just used. Okay. So the card for anyone who can't see right now has a witch lady on it in front of of kind of a crescent moon with a little fox buddy next to her in the grass. Okay. The quote on here, "If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment." That's from Carlos Santana because he's a badass.

34:49 The key words are appreciation, overflowing and choice. Being joy filled means having a grateful spirit and a genuine soul, begin by adopting an optimistic and uplifting attitude toward your life. Start every day with an upbeat and motivated vibe. Fill your heart with love for yourself and others. Joy will follow you when you allow yourself to discover how good most things really are. This is really hard to read. Living and practicing an existence of being joyful needs to come from within.

35:33 Celebrate being alive. Celebrate being alive, y'all. Celebrate being alive and having the freedom to make your own choices. Follow the path leading upward and see the candy jar as half full rather than half empty. The candy jar. The thoughts and actions will attract higher vibrations surrounding you, granting you pure joy. In the intention, choose to spread your joy courageously. You will keep your spirit healthy. Your joy will make others happy.

36:16 Kates joy made us happy for sure. I'm sure a lot of other people. It's interesting because at the end of this recording that we're going to share with you, we're talking about when to set up our next meeting and talking about how flexible we're so glad you're so flexible. She's talking about how podcasting shouldn't be stressful. It should be fun. You just have to have fun with it. Damn, that was harder than I thought it was going to be. What a perfect heart. I feel like she pulled it right out of my duck.

36:58 Shit. You guys, we have something really exciting to share with you. Let's hear a few words from our new pod besties. Ah, Asia. The land of contrast. So mysterious. So diverse. So peaceful. So safe. But seriously, is that how it really is? While Asia is 100% filled with amazing people, culture, food and landscape, it is also home to crazy legends, superstitions and of course, atrocious crimes. The Asian Madness podcast covers a wide variety of topics, ranging from silly weird things to unimaginable horrors.

38:27 Tune in to hometown history and embark on a journey through time, right from where you are. Check them out creepy people, you can find their info in our show notes. Just a very brief aside. I'm curious, where do you land on Lizzie Borden? Oh, she absolutely did it. I mean, I think so. There's a lot of people that say like, "Oh, there's no way." Having spent time in the house is what tells me she could have done it. And this is a really important thing about a lot of crime scene investigation is that you can do all of the reading about the crime that you want, but you really have to go there and see it.

39:12 So that's another room where the upstairs is this weird maze of bedrooms. So you have to know where people are and when you go from Lizzie's room down, the only stairs you can get to from Lizzie's room, you pass the guest room where Abby Borden was murdered. I'm going to this whole thing, just have me back on. The more I do, she could not not have seen. And they make a big deal out of there wasn't like, "You have to stop me. I cannot stop." It's okay, it could be a deal out of she wasn't enough of a mess, but like, I've seen that house. It would be easy to have done what she did without getting...

39:55 Yeah. That's what it sounds like to me. I mean, not having been there, I can only say so much, but I always felt pretty strongly about it. And here's the thing, is that a house could be haunted whether or not she did or didn't do it, right? That is very true. I mean, I'm talking with it. I will save the haunting stories. But I have to. I have to. From Lizzie's room. Oh, yeah. Great. I will take a look at Calendly and I'll see if we can find a spot where we can do like kind of a longer session. We will try not to like make everyone like two hours per, but I can find a little bit longer window where we can record.

40:40 I love to... I mean, I'm almost driven to speechlessness because the Lizzie Borden thing is just... It's murdering. But it can go. I mean, it is. Yeah, it is. I mean, do you want to see the video now? You can send it to me and I will watch it. It's... Well, I have to watch your... I love watching people's reaction to this because it is the best... It is just... Like I... Speechless still. Hang on. I'm looking for a link. It's like frozen her. I think she went to the screen. Oh my god. That is so fucking spooky. Oh, that... Yeah, closed zoom out.

41:20 No, zoom out when I opened Chrome. I was like, is she okay? I am bored and doesn't want us to see the video. Right. Oh my god. Oh, Cassie, should I hit stop on recorder? Do you want me to stop on record? Yeah, I'm going to hit stop on record. Do you want me to live react to this? We can keep it going just in case. Yeah, keep it. Go for it. Go for it. I love this so much. It's not scary is it? Is it scary? No. Okay. No, it's... You tell... You say, “when and I'll hit play." You can say. So, it's a video. It's me. I'm in white.

42:01 My friend is in black. And we are sitting on a bed. We have asked our neighbor to come in and take a photo of us. Okay. We're on like a girl's weekend. This is 2017. This is my second visit. Okay. And it's up in the attic, which they have converted into guest rooms up there. And so my friend and I are there and we've asked the neighbor, I handed her my phone. Okay. So, take this video. So, actually, I'd take this photo. I didn't even know I could hit it. So, just go ahead and hit play. Go. Three, two, one. All right. So, that's the whole video. 15 seconds.

42:41 Okay. Where's the scary part? Did you see the woman in black? Yes. She wasn't in the room. Yeah. What? Yeah. She wasn't. What? There were three people in the room only. It was my friend and I. We were seated in the bed. What? And there was the woman holding my phone, taking our picture. The woman in black was not there. And if you look at it now, you can't see it. She has no face. She has no face. She has no feet. She brushes up against me at one point and I don't react. Which let me remind you, I jump scare super easily. She really looks like she's there.

43:23 She looks like she's either laughing or screaming, but she doesn't make any noise. Her head disappears into the ceiling at one point when she walks through. Oh my god, it totally. Yep. Uh. Uh. That is so creepy. I can't stop watching it. I have watched that 5,000 times at least. So here what happens is this is in the early days of selfies even for me. I had not taken very many selfies before this point. And so I, and I was a photographer in college and so I used to take pictures elsewhere. And so I took a handful of selfies when we were there and I'm used to taking a ton of photos and then I get home and I dump most of them.

44:10 And so with this one, I'm dumping things and I'm keeping things and whatever. And I get to this and I'm like, I didn't even know my phone took video. And if you watch it, it's weird because the first couple of seconds are a little jarring, like they're like a different speed and then suddenly the sound comes in and they make it, she makes a joke about your head spinning around or whatever. And they're like that room is so small. We would have noticed a fourth person in the room and two women traveling alone. You know who's in your room.

44:52 Yeah. And so I see this video and the first thing I do is call my friend and I'm like, what the fuck is that? Like, who is that? How is my phone taking video? I didn't know it could take video. Who the hell is that? Do you recognize that? Was that woman in the room? And she's like, absolutely not. I don't recognize her at all. And like, wait, neither of us was drunk. Neither of us was drunk. Neither of us was not drinking involved. Oh my gosh. Were you ever able to ask the person who took the photo? No, we didn't get her name. But she had her husband. Well, somebody was holding my phone. I don't know. But she had come with her husband. So there would have been a certain logic to a man walking in the room.

45:33 Could have been her husband. Right. But this was just some woman in the room who she's not in any other photos. It's the weirdest thing. That is so weird. It's the weirdest thing. I can't even explain. I watched it a million times because I keep... I concider myself a skeptic. Am I a skeptic? I mean... Maybe. But let's maybe not it. Give me a reason to not believe this. And that's one where I've watched this so many times. And I cannot come up with an explanation. Because you have to say, where the woman is standing with the phone to take the picture.

46:19 She can't back up. She's against a window. Oh, yeah. So like there... And there's a closet. There's sort of a... Cut it and closet to the side. So there's not space for another human. There. So it's as though this woman walked past her and would have gone into the closet. Which I feel like it would have noticed. Yeah. You know, like at some point. So yeah, that video, I watched it a million times. I have no idea. I don't know. That is so weird. I know. Oh. Because my face is going to be stuck like this. (laughs) Oh my god. Is that like on YouTuber?

46:59 Is that like yours? That's on my Google Drive. Oh, I could put it on YouTube. Oh, I was just wondering. I was like, I could watch it later. What? Yeah, I mean, you could... I put it on YouTube. You know what? My suggestion, anyway. Podcast speaking - is that you save the reaction part for when I come back on. Absolutely. And I'll put it on YouTube so that you can link to it. Yeah, definitely. Then. But I have absolutely no... And that was a night where I had wicked insomnia. I wonder why. But not...

47:39 I don't have... My insomnia is an anxiety driven. I'm just simply awake. And so I was awake until the wee hours. I got in a tattoo that day and so I was awake and aware. It's a little sore at first and then it was itchy. And so I was just sort of aware of a lot through the night. And she didn't come back. There was no interaction. There was nothing scary. We just got up the next morning, took the house tour and wandered fall river a little bit and came home. Something about my spidey senses was like... ...shrinking the fuck out. It's not fair.

48:19 And I... What the fuck? Oh my gosh. Wow. Caitlyn's not going to sleep tonight. Well, I mean, she's the only way in fall river. You're fine. I'm watching it again. Why am I doing this? Oh my gosh. I can't watch it. I can't watch it. I can't watch it. I can't watch it. That was a thousand times. And I am fully open to give me an explanation. Yeah. A fully open to give me an explanation for what. Because like I should jump scared when she walks by me. I don't... It doesn't... It doesn't make sense. Like if I had seen that, if I had been aware.

49:02 Your damn right, it would have freaked me out to stay there in a literal murder house. Like that would have been not great. Even though nobody was killed in that room still, you know what? I'm only a floor away. And so... But it wasn't until 24 hours later where I'm home and I'm going through my phone and I see this. And I was like, not still. It's six years later almost. And my mind's still blown. Have you sent it to the people that run? What is it in? No, I have a different story about that. Oh. Okay. People will say, "I mean, we can just keep recording."

49:45 That's fine. The other... So this is the second visit. Yeah. The first visit was in 2005 with my husband for our anniversary. Because we're super romantic that way. And... So the crime happened in August. And so most murder tourism, which is gross, but it's the thing that happens in August. But our anniversary is in October. And so you're there in October. And the first night was fairly full. And they do a house tour. And you always get one. The guy's name was Duat from Rest Virginian. He was looking for orbs. And he would just take pictures, look for orbs.

50:27 Oh, Jesus fuck man. That's what he was saying. I mean, that's what he was saying. You're in an old house. There's going to be orbs. I can just like sneeze. You would like some. So that was fine. And the first night we stayed in the John Morse in the guest room where Abbey Borden was killed. Because I am sick. And I'm not happy. And the second night there was supposed to be a full bus tour that was going to share the house. But I had the cancel for some reason. So I ended up being my husband and I in the owner of the B&B, whose name I can't pull up off the top of my head.

51:07 But it was only the three of us in the house. Oh. And so we had the whole place for ourselves. And so she was like, you could stay in whatever room you want. And we had already stayed in the John Morse room. So we decided to stay in Lizzie’s bedroom. Second night, because why not? Like, why not? Like, where we're all too good to stay. And so we are so you have to picture. I have to describe the downstairs of the houses. Do you know what I mean? If I say a shotgun house. Yeah. That's it. So I'm standing by the front door. I got a straight line of sight to the back. There's no hallways. It's just. It's a parlor, short of foyer.

51:47 Like you open the front door and you're immediately. There's a little guest book. So I'm standing looking through the guest book. My husband is directly upstairs from using the bathroom. I can hear him walking around. My husband's six four. Like he doesn't tip toe. You know what I'm saying? Right. So he's, I know where he is. And the owner is in the dining room. And because there are not hallways. So I'm standing in this open area. I'm maybe five feet from the couch where Andrew Borden was killed. Right. So I'm like, which is not the couch is, but it's a remodel. Yeah. And. But so it's right there. And the couch is situated between two doors, both of which.

52:31 Get you into the dining room. You know what I'm saying? So that I can, the point is that I can see both entrances to the dining room. Which is where the owner is. She's got paperwork spread out all over the dining room table. And she's doing businessy important things. Yeah. And. I can see straight back to the end. So I'm page into the guest book. I can see straight back to the kitchen in the back door. I can see everything on the first floor. The parlors is to my immediate left. There's nobody in there. And there is a back stairway. So my husband is overhead near the front stairway. You can't easily get to the back stairway.

53:11 And there's the sound of someone running down the steps in the back. And it's to me felt feminine in a sense, light footsteps. And they're quick. And like, like, in that stairway takes like two tight turns. So you have to be familiar with the house to go that quickly. So that's the best I can describe. It's like, if you're in your own house, you can kind of like, pattern down the stairs. And that's what it felt like. Because somebody who just kind of knew the rear end. And then nobody appeared. And I'm just standing there like, cool. That's that's weird. But what are you going to do with that?

53:51 Like on its own independently. What are you going to do with that? Nothing. Then the owner pops her head out of the dining room and says, "You just come down the back steps." And I lost my mind. Because I was like, "Ah, that was just substantiated." Somebody else heard the same thing that I heard. And I was like, "No, I've been seated right here. What is your hair?" And she's like, "Somebody came down the back steps." Oh my god. I'm like, "I know." And then Willum comes down the front steps. And he's like I said, he's six four. He's a hockey player. He's a big guy. And so there's a real different sound. And he's like, "What are you talking about?" I didn't hear any of that.

54:31 I'm the king, jerk, because you're upstairs. It's all the fun. But I was so jazzed by the fact that someone else heard it. Yeah, really? Because I would doubt myself, but somebody else hearing it. Yeah. Absolutely. Oh my gosh, that's crazy. I was so jazzed. I was so excited. And then I go ahead and take my extended release, sleepy time. I have to find it and then we'll get that onboard. And then we'll get that onboard. And then we'll get that onboard.
