Explore the haunted history of the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse on the Oregon coast. Yaquina Bay Lighthouse was abandoned after only three years and nearly demolished before locals fought to save it. Today, it’s famous for chilling ghost stories, including the legend of Muriel, a teenage girl who mysteriously vanished inside the lighthouse in the tale The Haunted Lighthouse. Along with eerie legends of a phantom lighthouse keeper and unexplained hauntings at Yaquina Head Lighthouse.

We also uncover sightings of a Captain’s ghost wandering near the lighthouse after his fatal shipwreck at the Devil's Punchbowl, also known as “Satan’s Cauldron,” a collapsed sea cave filled with swirling tides, local legends, deadly accidents. This episode dives into Oregon ghost stories, paranormal folklore, and Pacific Northwest history.

00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:05.200
When the somber stillness of the darkening day was rent

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:09.080
by a shriek so wild and weird that they who

3
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.439
heard it felt the blood freeze suddenly in their veins.

4
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.559
Okay, you should have someone take a look at that.

5
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.160
I don't think that's normal. I'm not a doctor.

6
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:24.199
But they shrank involuntarily closer and looked at each other

7
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:29.039
with blanched cheeks and startled eyes. Before anyone found voice.

8
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.600
It came again. This time it was a cry for help,

9
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:42.000
thrice repeated in quick succession. Hi Caitlin, Hi Cassie, Hi

10
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:49.280
creepy people, Henny, this is PNW Haunson Homicides, where we

11
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.280
chat about true crime, the paranormal, and all things cool

12
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.600
and spooky in the Pacific Northwest.

13
00:00:57.439 --> 00:00:59.960
I can't help but notice you didn't mention true crime.

14
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:01.920
I did, did you?

15
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.599
Yeah? Said we talked about true crime, the paranormal and

16
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:06.760
all things cool.

17
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.879
Oh in my brain, just now, I swear you just

18
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.159
said we talk about all things cool, Like you didn't

19
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.599
say true crime or paranormal. I did.

20
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.760
Yeah. I'm pretty sure. I mean I can roll the

21
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:24.239
tape later, but uh, I'm pretty sure. Caitlin just blacks

22
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.159
out when I talk, So that's fine.

23
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.599
No, probably probably the crow just flew by again, and oh, yeah,

24
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.439
I'm getting a show out here.

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.000
Yeah, she's watching bird Reality TV out her window. It's

26
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:43.400
honestly the best. And I'm I'm for the crow personally.

27
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.000
These other I mean, I told you these other brown,

28
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.599
dingy looking bastards. They have like red chests and they

29
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.760
just seem like they're being dix and I'm just not

30
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.480
I'm not about it. I see the crows out here

31
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.000
all the time. I don't know who these other guys are.

32
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:01.799
They need to move on.

33
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.120
Who are you? Where'd you come from?

34
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:06.200
She doesn't even go here.

35
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.840
You have to look up what kind of Pacific Northwest

36
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:11.520
bird that is?

37
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.159
I know, I wonder if it's not a Pacific Northwest bird.

38
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:20.840
Who they migrated? Yeah, they migrated west for the summer.

39
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.439
Yes, I've created a whole backstory for them, so I

40
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:31.800
feel like I can create a richer character profile and Bill, yes,

41
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:37.520
you know, it'll be a richer inner world story for

42
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.840
me with the birds if.

43
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.360
I Well, we were supposed to not get off topic today,

44
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.199
We're supposed to stay on it, Caitlin, Yeah, I have

45
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.080
to go watch your hair.

46
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.879
I think we all knew that wasn't going to happen.

47
00:02:52.840 --> 00:03:00.800
But anyway, in case you didn't know, the Sipping Northwest

48
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.960
is also the PNW if you n sty Oh, and

49
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.159
we do a charro reading at the end of every

50
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:11.000
episode for a little deeper insight into our topic. Also birds, Also,

51
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:13.800
what if we pull a card with a bird on

52
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:14.280
a ladder?

53
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.639
I am thinking of a card that we have pulled before,

54
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:22.560
and actually my card in the position is a crow.

55
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.520
Yeah, I'm just saying, Okay, anyway, we're distracted by birds.

56
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.719
We should we just get going. It's my episode this week.

57
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.080
Finally we're going to be talking about yo Quinna Bay

58
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.360
Lighthouse and some other places. But that's the first place.

59
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.800
It's located on the Oregon Coast in Newport. On a bluff.

60
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.039
What's a bluff? I meant to look it up.

61
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:51.240
It's just like a hill, right, Basically, I don't know

62
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.199
what the let's see bluff versus can.

63
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.800
You tell what bluff means? Okay? One sentence in okay.

64
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.039
A hill is a broad, raised area of land that

65
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:07.960
rises higher than the surrounding terrain, usually with gentle, rounded

66
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.240
slopes boobs.

67
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:13.280
A bluff is.

68
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:18.680
A specific type of steep broad cliff that often overlooks

69
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.160
a body of water or a valley formed by erosion.

70
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:27.000
That's exactly what I visualize, like when I'm trying to

71
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.160
compare and picture both of them my head, like, hills

72
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:41.360
are rolling, bluffs are like they're harder. They yeah, bluffing.

73
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.839
Well, I should have finished my sentence too. So this

74
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.439
lighthouse is on a bluff at the mouth of the

75
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.759
Yaquina River, so it is like kind of off the

76
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.120
body of water, like I said. So it was built

77
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.920
in eighteen seventy one with an attached keeper's house. So

78
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:57.040
it's basically like the whole building is the keeper's house,

79
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.959
and then it has like a little light on the top, yeah,

80
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.319
lighthouse part. And it's not very tall. It's not like

81
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:05.720
you know what you picture with a big tower on

82
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.759
top of the house. It's just like the top of

83
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.199
what a light lighthouse would be sitting on the keeper's house.

84
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.120
Okay, but I feel like the whole thing about lighthouses,

85
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.920
I kind of thought they needed to be tall.

86
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.600
Well, we'll talk about it in a minute.

87
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.319
Okay, Okay, we'll get to it.

88
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.399
This was an early early lighthouse, you guys. Okay, it

89
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.759
is believed to be the oldest building in town. So

90
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.279
it either is or it's one of the oldest. And

91
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.600
it's the only wooden lighthouse in Oregon still standing. Wow.

92
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.519
It was only operational for three years and then abandoned

93
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.480
when a more favorable location was found nearby. It's about

94
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:52.279
five miles north and the new lighthouse is a ninety

95
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:54.399
three foot tall building.

96
00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:58.639
Oh okay, so more keeping with my expectations.

97
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.759
Yes, it's very very tall. It is the tallest in Oregon. Ooh,

98
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.800
it's Yaquina Head Lighthouse. So a lot of people get

99
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.920
them confused, but this one's like actual. What you're picturing

100
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.480
a lighthouse to be is what it looks like. Yeah.

101
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.160
It was first lit in eighteen seventy three and still

102
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.720
runs today. Wow. So back to Yaquina Bay Lighthouse. The

103
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.399
first one we talked about, the old wooden one in

104
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.199
nineteen forty six. It was sitting there waiting to be

105
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:33.000
demolished because it wasn't operational anymore. I think they used

106
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.199
it for some other things in between, but it wasn't

107
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:41.079
an operating lighthouse anymore. And I listened to a podcast

108
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.000
episode from Wicked West ooh, and it's kind of like

109
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:49.399
a newsy I like a podcast, but they were talking

110
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:56.120
to a historian and an all Meyer he said literally

111
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.000
what I wrote. They were talking to historian and he

112
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.160
said the locals fought to keep it standing and they

113
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.000
formed a human chain around it. And I think, like,

114
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.240
I think he was being literal. I don't think he was.

115
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.480
I was gonna say that sounds like very you know,

116
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:21.839
uh green peace protest. But honestly, it definitely sounds like

117
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.160
something that could happen here.

118
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.920
It was like the seventies, in the forties.

119
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.720
Oh yeah, come on.

120
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.639
Then the Lincoln County Historical Society was formed to try

121
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.360
to save the lighthouse, like this is. That's the reason

122
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.839
it was formed. And it was a struggle for them

123
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.680
for many years until it was finally recognized as a

124
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.319
historical site and turned into a museum and that ran

125
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.439
until the seventies, and then after that it was finally

126
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.720
listed on the National Register of Historic Places so it

127
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:57.680
could be restored.

128
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.560
There you go, that's what you gotta do.

129
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.040
Yeah, but at least they saved it by getting they

130
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.680
got it designated as a historical site first. Yeah, eventually

131
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.000
in the seventies, which it took a really long time,

132
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.759
but I got there. It took a minute, and then

133
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.600
in nineteen ninety six it was actually lit once again

134
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.639
and it still is lit today. Oh I love that.

135
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.560
And it is part of Yaquina Bay State Park, so

136
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:24.199
you can go visit it today too.

137
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.639
Very cool. Well, you know we love a lighthouse.

138
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:30.519
I know we do. It totally made me think of

139
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.559
Port Townsend this whole time, like, I want to go visit.

140
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:35.759
I want to go back and visit, and I want

141
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.960
to go visit more lighthouses. I just want to go

142
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.159
to all the lighthouses, you know.

143
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:45.799
Honestly, I actually found some of the parascenalia from our

144
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:51.840
Port Townsend trip when I was I took a day

145
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:58.000
off to really do some cool stuff and I'm freeing. Yeah,

146
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.639
I took a day off work I could organize the

147
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.000
closet in the.

148
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:04.919
Pod lab, oh my gosh.

149
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:10.240
And then I started organizing and processing all of the

150
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:15.480
all of the groceries for vacuum ceiling and freezing.

151
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.200
She's going crazy over there, you guys.

152
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:23.159
Super cool stuff over here. Lots of fancy plastic bins

153
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.000
and organization happening.

154
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.720
That's the very heavy meat rollers.

155
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:35.000
Oh yeah, well, listen, could I have bought almost any

156
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:40.399
rolling pin. Yeah, probably, but knowing me, would I number one?

157
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.399
Pick one that is marble obviously Number two that could

158
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.000
be used as a deadly weapon.

159
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.159
Well sure, And in case you want to make pie crust,

160
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.159
I told you it's really good for pie crest because

161
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.879
it stays cold. Yeah, I really want that in your

162
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:55.440
pie crest.

163
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.240
I'm not worried about that being a temptation, to be honest.

164
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.840
Yeah. Or croissants, I'd like to you could make Chris. Wait,

165
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.200
do you even you roll croissants out? I don't even know. Yeah,

166
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:06.080
you do, I know you do.

167
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:10.919
I don't know, Honestly, the very brief free trial of

168
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:17.120
this whole tradwife subscription thing, I you know, unsubscribed. I'd

169
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:17.879
like to cancel.

170
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:21.440
Bit you got a marble rolling pin, make me a croissant.

171
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.960
I know, I'm gonna get right on it.

172
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.679
Okay, anyway, enough about that, Let's get back to the lighthouses.

173
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:32.120
You guys, you're throwing us off topic, creepy people. Just

174
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.840
you know, we're trying to we have a mission here, okay,

175
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.080
sisly so you quinn A Bay Lighthouse was clearly loved

176
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.519
by the locals, but not just for its historical value.

177
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:47.639
What made this place well known was actually a ghost story.

178
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.080
Nah, imagine that, I bet, I bet not. I bet

179
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:53.879
that I had nothing to do with it.

180
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.799
Nope, it had a lot to do with it. And

181
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.320
I'm gonna tell you about it all right. In eighteen

182
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.399
eighty nine, m Miller wrote a short story called The

183
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:08.879
Haunted Lighthouse Lisian about this lighthouse Litien. Yeah, it's l

184
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:14.559
ch e n wow. Okay, listien. That's how they pronounced

185
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:16.960
it in the podcast, So I say, that's right. Interesting.

186
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:21.120
It was about a teenage girl named Muriel, which I

187
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.039
freaking just love that name. I don't know why. It

188
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.039
just reminds me of like the little old granny Muriel.

189
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.320
I feel like Muriel makes me think of myrtle, and

190
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.000
then I think of moaning myrtle.

191
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:35.399
Ooh, I love that too.

192
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.600
Just free word association.

193
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.000
Yeah. So it was about a teenage girl named Muriel

194
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:49.759
who mysteriously died inside the lighthouse. She and a group

195
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.440
of friends managed to get the key and go explore inside.

196
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.919
They found the building was in disrepair, and they also

197
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.799
found a mysterious trap door leading to the ocean that

198
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:06.639
they assumed was for smugglers. I mean, that seems like

199
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.720
a fair assumtion legit. As they were leaving, she realized

200
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:15.080
she left her handkerchief behind. Handkerchief, handkerchief.

201
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.039
I mean, I think people say it differently, like in

202
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.440
I think it's a regional thing. But yeah, I've always

203
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.360
heard her kerchief her curchief. I know I do like that.

204
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:30.240
Actually, So she left this very important handkerchief behind and

205
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.759
turned back to go and get it. And I'm going

206
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.360
to read you guys the end of the story. And

207
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.799
if you want the full story, because it's pretty long,

208
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.360
I'll have it linked in the past bind for you

209
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:43.200
so you can get the rest of it's the rest

210
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:44.720
of the context. I kind of just put in a

211
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:48.039
couple sentences, but you can read the full thing, ok,

212
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.159
if you wish. So this is Muriel talking to one

213
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:57.840
of her friends. She went with Harold Welch Welsh, probably Welsh,

214
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.600
not Welch's grape juice.

215
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.600
He's the heir to the weltious motion.

216
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:09.720
Yeah, maybe go hair Old, get it. Okay, So this

217
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.759
is the start of the story I will be reading,

218
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.879
or well it's the end. Oh okay, I'm starting to

219
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.240
read the end of the story. Now go perfect. I'm

220
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:22.000
going in alone, she said, you are not to wait.

221
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.679
Lock the door and go on. I will come out

222
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.720
through the kitchen. He objected, but she was obstinate, and,

223
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.840
perhaps because her lightest wish was beginning to be the

224
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:36.039
law of his life, he reluctantly obeyed her. Someone's got

225
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.279
a crush that's not in the story, Hollie. Yeah, I

226
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.960
was going to say. That is some flowery stuff there.

227
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:47.600
Oh yeah, it's very flowery wording. I like it. When

228
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:50.240
he reached the rear of the house, Muriel was nowhere

229
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.639
to be seen. He called her two or three times

230
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:57.240
and waited, but, receiving no reply, concluded that she had

231
00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.240
hurried out and joined the rest whose voices came to

232
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.320
him from the avenue of Pines. I just I really

233
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:03.960
like that part.

234
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:05.720
I like that part too.

235
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.440
She had been nervous and a little irritable all afternoon,

236
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.159
so unlike herself that he had wondered more than once

237
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.440
if she were ill or weary. Of his close attendants,

238
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.200
Oh boy, if you could see the eye rolls we

239
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.600
gave the camera. Oh no, I mean you can't, but

240
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.080
if you could hear those. It occurred to him now

241
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.159
that possibly she had taken this means to rid herself

242
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.200
of this company. He hurried on, for it was growing

243
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.399
cold and the fog was thickening to a rain. He

244
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.840
had just caught up with the stragglers of the party,

245
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.200
and they were beginning to chafe him at being alone,

246
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:45.639
when the somber stillness of the darkening day was rent

247
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:49.480
by a shriek so wild and weird that they who

248
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:54.200
heard it felt the blood freeze suddenly in their veins.

249
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.000
Okay, you should have someone to take a look at that.

250
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.600
I don't think that's normal. I'm not a doctor.

251
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:04.960
They shrank involuntarily closer and looked at each other with

252
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.679
blanched cheeks and startled eyes. Before anyone found voice, it

253
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.039
came again. This time it was a cry for help,

254
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.639
Thrice repeated in quick succession. I love the word thrice.

255
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.159
Okay, I love the word thrice. And I also really

256
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.799
enjoy the word blanche. I don't enjoy the activity as previously.

257
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.960
That is kind of funny. That's so weird, because that's

258
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.159
not a word that we hear that often, and I've

259
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.320
heard it several times now today.

260
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.840
In less than an hour, I have said or heard

261
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.799
the word blanche more times than I have outside of

262
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:49.799
watching an episode of fucking Golden Girls in my entire life,

263
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:55.240
like blanch Deborah debor, I assume blanche cheeks means like

264
00:15:55.279 --> 00:16:00.240
the blood right of their faces. Yeah, it's really interestin

265
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.840
because it's got to be like kind of the opposite

266
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.240
of blushing, right, Like, Yeah, that's what I picture like

267
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.279
when you just go pale, like when you're sickly.

268
00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.960
Yea, when you hear a weird and wild shriek in

269
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:13.799
the dead of night.

270
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:19.440
I know I've never heard that. I don't want to Muriel.

271
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:24.320
Where is Muriel? Demanded Welsh, his heart leaping in sudden fear.

272
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.960
Why you ought to know? Cried Cora may who's another

273
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:30.039
one of the friends in the group. We left her

274
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:30.519
with you.

275
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:36.039
Anybody with like two very like pageant princess names like

276
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:40.279
that Coora may kor may Oh. She's gonna start all

277
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.440
kinds of rumors about what happened here?

278
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.639
Would you do well? She boy, mark my words. They

279
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.759
hurried toward the deserted house. She went back to get

280
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.200
her handkerchief, explained Welsh. She told me not to wait,

281
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.080
and I locked the door and came on locked her

282
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.360
in that horrid place. Why did you do it? That's

283
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:05.160
the appropriate reaction. Yes, she is a girl's girl. She

284
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.279
said she would come out by way of the kitchen,

285
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.960
replied he. She could not. The door's locked. The key

286
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.440
is broken off in the lock, said another. I noticed

287
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.880
it when we were rummaging around in there, and you

288
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.759
didn't think to tell it. Hey, tell everyone, Like, why

289
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.160
didn't everyone know that? Why didn't Muriel know?

290
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.079
It just feels like that's insight, that's kind of you know,

291
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.480
hindsight's twenty twenty, of course, but like, where were you about,

292
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.920
I don't know, three minutes ago.

293
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.680
Maybe he was about to tell them, and that's when

294
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.400
someone found the trap door, and it just kind of

295
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.279
got lost, you know. Could we don't know their life.

296
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.480
They begin to call encouragingly, Muriel, we are coming, don't

297
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.599
be afraid, but they got no reply. Oh, let us hurry,

298
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.559
urged Cora. Perhaps she is fainted with fright. Oh boy.

299
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:56.480
In a very few minutes, they were pouring into the

300
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.759
house and looking and calling through the lower rooms upstairs,

301
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.720
and there upon the floor in the upper chamber, where

302
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:08.119
the gray light came in through the curtainless windows, they

303
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:13.720
found a pool of warm red blood. Oh, I got gooseys,

304
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:16.640
there were blood drops in the hall and on the

305
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.319
stairs that led up to the landing, and in the

306
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:23.920
linen closet they picked up a blood stained handkerchief.

307
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:27.640
I know, a hanky, a bloody hanky.

308
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:34.640
That sounds like a pirate or something bloody.

309
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:35.599
Or an Aussie.

310
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:41.519
Sorry, we're laughing in the middle of this scary story.

311
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.839
It's because we're scary. Yeah, But there was nothing else.

312
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.680
The iron door had been replaced, the panel in the

313
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.200
wainscotting closed. That's the trap door that they found. They

314
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.519
found it like behind this panel in the wainscoting. Oh,

315
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:58.440
and there was an iron door.

316
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.079
Well, I mean it makes sense too, because it's like

317
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.160
it's obviously been like somewhat hidden, and if it was

318
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.400
used for bootleggers, it wouldn't need to be.

319
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.079
And try as they might, they could not open it,

320
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.680
which they'd opened it before, and now they can't. So

321
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:14.599
that's a little weird.

322
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:15.720
I don't like that.

323
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:21.559
They were confronted by an apparent tragedy, appalled by fearful mystery,

324
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.200
and they could do nothing nothing. They returned to the

325
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:31.000
village and gave alarm and reinforced came back and renewed

326
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:35.559
the hopeless search with lanterns. They ransacked the house again

327
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:39.240
and again, from tower to cellar. They scoured the hills

328
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.640
in the vain delusion that she might have escaped from

329
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.200
the house and wandered off in the fog. But they

330
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.079
found nothing, nor ever did save the blood drops on

331
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.519
the stairs and the little handkerchief, and I guess the

332
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.200
pool of blood.

333
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.079
Yeah, I was gonna say, that feels that feels notable.

334
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.200
This feels like a no body, no crime situation. So

335
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:01.319
what's happening with that?

336
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:03.839
I'm just saying, like, I hate to go all true crime.

337
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:05.480
I know this is your episode, but.

338
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:12.960
I didn't even mention it in the beginning. Apparently it's

339
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:18.759
not my fault. As time went by, the story was

340
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.400
forgotten by all but those who joined in that weary

341
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.720
search for the missing girl. But to this day it

342
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:28.680
is said that the blood stains are dark upon the

343
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.200
floor in that upper chamber, and one there who has

344
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:36.200
carried the little handkerchief next to his heart till the

345
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.880
hour of his own tragic death. Oh, assuming that was Welsh. Yeah,

346
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:46.880
what happened? What happened Harold? So apparently he you know,

347
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:50.319
I don't know what happened to him, but I don't know.

348
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.119
It seems kind of either he had a crush on

349
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.240
her or he killed her and that's why he's carrying

350
00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.000
the handkerchief, right. I mean, also, two things can be true.

351
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.880
Maybe she turned him down. He did say she was

352
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.480
being a little spicy that day, so maybe she pissed

353
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:11.119
him off. We don't know. Yeah, So one of the

354
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:16.920
many questions people have about this story is did Lycian M.

355
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:21.759
Miller just make this story up? Or was she recounting

356
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:27.119
true events? Either way, this ghost may have saved Yaquina

357
00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:31.400
Bay Lighthouse, just so you guys know, is presented as

358
00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:34.480
it was a short story in a magazine, so it

359
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.720
was presented as fiction. But people are like, was it though?

360
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.960
We don't know, But it seems like we should be

361
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:44.440
able to answer that question.

362
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:50.359
I mean, I don't know, because you're keeping in eighteen hundreds.

363
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:51.119
I don't know.

364
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:54.519
The Oregonian's been around for a long time.

365
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:57.519
I don't know. If there was a death on your property,

366
00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:59.720
would you want everyone to know about it? I don't know.

367
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:03.160
Well, all reporters don't care what you want to be

368
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:03.839
in the paper.

369
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:06.880
So I mean, it is fiction. It's a work of fiction.

370
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:09.359
But some people question.

371
00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:11.279
A legendly, was it.

372
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.759
Yeah, there is another ghost that is said to show

373
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.839
itself on the grounds of the Aquina Bay Lighthouse, Captain

374
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:24.759
Evan mclare who died when his whaling ship crashed into

375
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:28.079
the Devil's Punch Bowl in eighteen seventy four. And this

376
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:33.200
is a verified crash. Oh so this is recordized and

377
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.960
he and he died. Yeah, I think so, I assume so.

378
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.440
I think it said that there was a record of

379
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.319
that too, but definitely the ship crashed.

380
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:44.160
Oh, okay, okay, okay.

381
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:46.240
And I didn't I mean, I didn't go searching the

382
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:50.960
wrecords myself, you know and reading articles. So although the

383
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.720
Devil's Punch Bowl is about nine miles north of the

384
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:58.880
Auquina Bay Lighthouse in the unincorporated community of Otter Rock,

385
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.599
it is said that Captain mcluur's spirit followed the light

386
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.039
that was supposed to bring him to safety. So that's

387
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:10.319
how we ended up nine miles down wind. Oh, people

388
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.720
see him staring up at it, the light before he

389
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:19.839
disappears into the salty air. Salty. He's one of those

390
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.880
ghosts that does your favorite thing. They just disappear right before.

391
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.759
You as Yeah, I don't like that. I feel like

392
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.240
if you could just maybe not gaslight me.

393
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:32.839
Yeah, exactly, gaslighting ghosts.

394
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.880
Yes, I just you know, I just don't. I don't

395
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.480
know that. I no, thank you.

396
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.799
Since you brought up the Devil's punch bowl, I guess

397
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:42.920
we'll talk a little bit more about it, because it's

398
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:44.279
pretty interesting.

399
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:46.119
Okay, I was hoping there was more.

400
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.359
Legend says it was created by the devil punching a

401
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.799
hole in the earth. He was thrown a little mini

402
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:56.160
fit and he just punched a hole in the earth.

403
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:01.480
I thought he was just thirsty. Maybe he was maybe,

404
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.599
you know, he's very misunderstood, the devil. I'm just saying.

405
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:09.200
But legends aside science says it was created by the

406
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:12.720
collapse of sea caves and then shaped by the waves.

407
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:16.839
So it literally it looks like a big circle circle

408
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.160
of cliff cavey stuff with ocean water in it. Yeah.

409
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:21.680
I don't know.

410
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.559
Just to like not to be too on the nose here,

411
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:30.799
but like just to play devil's advocate, say, someone who

412
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:37.279
had a sort of supernatural powers just went nuts on

413
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.319
uh on that their area. Couldn't that also, because I

414
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:44.839
don't know, uh, I forget what the thing that you

415
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.960
said that it happened the science explanation.

416
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:53.039
Oh, the sea caves collapsed. Yeah.

417
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.640
So I mean, if you're if you're just some supernatural

418
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:02.319
uh dickhead, uh, and you're punching stuff, couldn't you punching

419
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.920
stuff also collapse the sea caves.

420
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:06.920
I'm just saying two things can be true.

421
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:08.799
I'm just saying, you know, I'm just saying.

422
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.319
So it is about one hundred feet in diameter, so

423
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:16.480
it's pretty big double huts, some pretty big fisty fists

424
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:22.319
and whole cans, and possibly as old as eighteen million years. Whoa,

425
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:25.640
So it's been there a minute. That's why, you know,

426
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.440
getting carved out by those ways.

427
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:32.559
Right. That's so interesting though, because I thought the I

428
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:37.119
was under the impression that the planet, the world was

429
00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:38.880
only a couple thousand years old.

430
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.640
I mean, I don't know how I asked the Uh

431
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:50.839
what are they the people who the Christians? We have

432
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:52.880
to talk to them about it. Yeah, maybe they'll know.

433
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:55.240
Yeah, we could write into VeggieTales.

434
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.519
I want to come on the pod talk about the

435
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:08.680
Devil's punch bowl. Speaking of you like to talk to tomatoes.

436
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:14.960
It is also known as Satan's cauldron, which because during

437
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.559
high tide, seawater fills up the cave and swirls around

438
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:20.079
like a churning cauldron.

439
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:23.519
Ooh, honestly, you can't go wrong.

440
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:26.119
Yeah, I just like it because witchy. It's more witchy.

441
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.160
It is more witchy. The homemaker in me loves a

442
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:31.079
punch bowl, but.

443
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.400
It's not a cauldron. The swamp which in me, likes

444
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.480
the cauldron. You can visit and look down on the

445
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:44.480
Devil's punch bowl or the Satan's cauldron from a viewpoint,

446
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:47.799
or you can actually go down into the cave, but

447
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:50.240
you can only enter a low tide and be sure

448
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:54.200
not to get caught in their high tide. There have

449
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:57.599
been some deaths and some close calls. Yeah, to make

450
00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.839
sure you know the timing of that, because it can

451
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:00.839
be really dangerous.

452
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.880
I was gonna say, I have to imagine that leads

453
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:06.920
to a serious case of deadness.

454
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.640
Drowning, Yeah, yeah, drowning.

455
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:12.519
Yeah, yikes.

456
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:15.599
So some of the pictures from in there look so cool.

457
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:17.359
I kind of I like, I'm kind of scared to

458
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.319
go because I really don't want to drown.

459
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.240
But hey, well, you know, as long as all the

460
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.799
tides just don't get distracted, we'd have to set like

461
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:29.720
multiple alarms on our phones to make sure we like leave, you.

462
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:32.960
Know, yeah, definitely, Like, oh it's so magical. Oh, look

463
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:36.400
at that the water does seem to be rising. Early

464
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:42.319
in the eighteen hundreds, the land belonged to a man

465
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:47.119
named Dope Spencer. No, I don't know if this is

466
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.680
his real name, because article says that he was from

467
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.759
a local tribe and it didn't say which one. So

468
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:55.839
I found that the first people in the area were

469
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.079
the Yakona. Oh, so I assume that's what he was from.

470
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.519
I don't I don't know if Dope Spencer was his

471
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:05.680
actual name or not, if he was from the Yokona. Yeah,

472
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.119
not one hundred percent.

473
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:12.640
A lot of questions to be Yeah, I feel as

474
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.640
though your instincts are are right on point.

475
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.240
Though I tried. I tried harder than the article I

476
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:23.400
found this in. Yeah, the story is like kind of silly,

477
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:25.759
but I wanted to add it because you know, it's

478
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:29.039
cool and weird in the Pacific Northwest and we wanna

479
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:33.880
and be nasty. Yeah. So he claimed until his dying

480
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:38.160
day that he was attacked by little flying men in

481
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:38.599
the cave.

482
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:42.599
Okay, So I don't know, Maybe Dope was his real name.

483
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:47.000
Maybe maybe that's when people start calling him after they

484
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:50.640
heard this, because most people, I'm not sure about them,

485
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:52.200
but definitely nowadays think it.

486
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.279
Might have just been bats, freaking bats.

487
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.440
But still him and his people stayed away, And I

488
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.160
don't know if that's it's necessarily a bad thing, because like,

489
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:04.880
who wants to be attacked by bats? For one?

490
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:08.039
I mean, I feel like I'm looking at the one

491
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:10.400
girl I know I don't want.

492
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:12.240
To be attacked. I want them to be my friend.

493
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:14.279
I don't think they would attack you.

494
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:16.599
Maybe they were just trying to give him a hug.

495
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.880
That's what I'm saying.

496
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.079
Bats are very misunderstood, just like the devil. Yeah, but

497
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.440
he possibly saved people from being caught in a turning

498
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.759
cauldron at high tide too, So like, is it the worst.

499
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.200
Thing in the world, right, I mean a little bit

500
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:42.920
of misinformation oftentimes very problematic. However, sometimes miss legends parables

501
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:46.839
if you will, can I think be used for good? Yeah,

502
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.799
he may not have had that intention even but.

503
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:54.680
Maybe he ate a wild mushroom and you know, maybe

504
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:58.400
he really was attacked by flying little men in his head.

505
00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.000
Those things be happening if you're just eating wild mushrooms.

506
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:05.960
Right, we don't know what's like, we don't know Dope's life,

507
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:07.200
Dope Spencer.

508
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.559
That's right. Yeah. I actually just came across an article

509
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.559
I think it was in the Oregonian, and it was

510
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.920
actually something that happened in California. I haven't hud chance

511
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:20.759
to look into it deeper, but apparently there's been a

512
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:28.559
real spate of poisoning deaths related to mushrooms in California.

513
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:31.160
Like people eating them or like, yes, in the wild,

514
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:32.759
not from the store. Correct.

515
00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:35.400
Yeah, I think they're foraging. And whether they're doing so

516
00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:39.359
with the intention of foraging for food or they're trying

517
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:43.559
to mushroom hunt for like psychedelic purposes, I couldn't tell you.

518
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.279
I just I haven't looked into it deeper. But really

519
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:49.519
gotta be careful, and you really really do. There are

520
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.319
actually I know that, like, there are a lot of

521
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:57.400
mushrooms that like, there are some they have like dupes

522
00:30:57.599 --> 00:31:01.640
or doppelgangers that are like very like they're so hard

523
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:05.559
to tell apart. And one of them is like totally benign.

524
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.680
You could eat it all day every day, and the

525
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:11.039
doubleganger is like I will fuck you up.

526
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:14.240
You did. What if they're making more of those, like

527
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.400
mushrooms are smart. What if they're onto us and they're

528
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:19.759
like these bitches and you stop picking us in the

529
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:22.839
woods and we're all just gonna turn poison. So fuck

530
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:23.680
y'all humans.

531
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.640
I'm just saying this could be you know, like the

532
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:30.519
before clip of The Last of Us.

533
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:35.039
Ooh, I was thinking wait, I was also thinking of

534
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.359
what's that movie where like the plants attack that started

535
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:39.480
attacking the people.

536
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:47.119
The happening, yeah, happening too, significantly less awesome than the

537
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:50.359
Last of Us, But I you know what, fuck it.

538
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.559
I love it.

539
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:55.880
I love the happening. I love the happening. I like

540
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.319
it too.

541
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:58.319
I love Zoey Dachanel.

542
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.640
I know. I think that's why. No, it's a good movie.

543
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:05.440
It's very campy. I mean it's not like good good.

544
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:09.359
Let's just like it's not winning awards. But like I

545
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:10.240
enjoyed it.

546
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:13.559
Ouki doesn't one guy run himself over with a lawnmower?

547
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:14.519
That shit's scary?

548
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:19.119
He sure does. Yeah, it was horrifying.

549
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:21.839
Fuck the Last of Us. It sucks and I will

550
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.400
never ever watch the third season if it comes. Is

551
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:26.920
there gonna be a third season? No? Oh, I'm not

552
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:31.759
doing it. I refuse, I refuse. There are also some

553
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:35.640
ghost stories at Yaquina Head Lighthouse, which is the one

554
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:40.000
that was built at the better location. It was taller whatever,

555
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:47.400
she's cooler like, are the ghosts taller or possibly? Well, yeah,

556
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:49.599
because they're men, so they're probably taller than Murial.

557
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:51.359
Oh that's there.

558
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:56.559
A legendly a construction worker fell to his death and

559
00:32:56.599 --> 00:33:01.519
they unfortunately could not recover his body, what, leaving him

560
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:07.039
sealed inside the walls of the light. Ah, what, I'll

561
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:13.960
keep going, you'll see. Another story is of keeper Higgins,

562
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:18.400
who allegedly passed away in the lighthouse on duty. But

563
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:24.559
apparently there are no records that anyone died during construction

564
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:27.119
or in the building at all.

565
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:31.720
Yes, same as Disneyland. They just drag them off the property.

566
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:38.079
See, we don't know. Keeper Higgins did die much later.

567
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.599
There is record of this after leaving the lighthouse service,

568
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:46.279
so he didn't die in the lighthouse. But do we

569
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:48.880
know really about the construction worker? I don't know. Do

570
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.319
we trust the old timey record keeping? Did they want

571
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.400
people to know that someone is in the walls of

572
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:59.119
the lighthouse? No, probably not. But the historians say it's

573
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.279
not true. You be the judge. Go visit see if

574
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.359
you see a ghost in the walls.

575
00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:08.079
Well, now, I'm just so afraid any place that we go,

576
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:13.039
if there really is like enough like energy, whether it's.

577
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:16.639
Good or bad. I'm like, that's how we know. I know.

578
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:19.639
But I'm like, I just have to suffer, like I'm

579
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.679
I'm on a boat. I'm on a boat for like

580
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.320
three days so that we can find out whether it's real.

581
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:30.119
You take one for the team, man, because I can't

582
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.440
see ghosts. Apparently you have to feel them for me.

583
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:37.079
It's my cross to bear, I guess.

584
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.639
So I'm all done with the story. But I do

585
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:43.559
have a little personal connection with the Yuquina Head Lighthouse,

586
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:48.199
which is that second one, the fancy one. Although I've

587
00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:52.079
never been there. I haven't been there yet, but my

588
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:56.800
grammy loved lighthouses and this one was her favorite one.

589
00:34:56.920 --> 00:35:00.639
And we have this really sweet picture. I had my

590
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:03.320
mom send it to me today of her in front

591
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.039
of the lighthouse and it's like, you'll see, it's just

592
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.960
the cutest thing because it looks old, you know, because

593
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.079
you know, she's my grands and this was taken when

594
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.920
she was younger.

595
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:21.519
Oh my God, Cassie, I know, isn't it so good? God? Wow,

596
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.559
Like I'm I'm truly like I'm speechless. That is such

597
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:27.199
a gorgeous photo.

598
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:30.440
I know, I love it. And that was her absolute

599
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:31.559
favorite lighthouse.

600
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:38.559
She is serving up some like real boss lady Vie.

601
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:41.679
I don't know how else about it, like no, I

602
00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:44.119
mean she just like wow.

603
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:48.159
Yeah, I love the oversized scarf. Yes, I'm into it.

604
00:35:48.239 --> 00:35:49.360
Oh my god.

605
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:49.760
I know.

606
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.320
That's why, like I can't wait to go back to London.

607
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:54.440
Everybody just wears scarves.

608
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:59.519
All the ti. And then so my mom actually has

609
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.760
a tattoo of this lighthouse because my grammy passed away.

610
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:06.480
So after that, she got a tattoo of the lighthouse

611
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:09.920
and they did like a little silhouette of her at

612
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:11.639
the lighthouse in the tattoo.

613
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.280
Oh my god god.

614
00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.920
And so my mom just went to visit the lighthouse

615
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:18.400
last month. So I sent you a picture of my

616
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:21.079
mom too, showing off her tattoo from the lighthouse.

617
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:27.559
Don't cry, it's Julie, you stupid bit.

618
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:30.880
Don't do it.

619
00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:32.320
Oh my god.

620
00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:36.840
Oh but yeah, so that's my little connection. That's kind

621
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.320
of why I I wanted to do an episode on it.

622
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.480
Just because I was like, oh, that would be cool.

623
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:44.639
It's probably haunted, right, But then I found this whole

624
00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.719
other lighthouse and this whole other cool story. So yeah,

625
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.679
but that's all I got. Should we let Caitlin dry

626
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:56.840
her tears? And this is like this is one the

627
00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:59.960
one I wrote a while ago, and I was like,

628
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:04.119
I just like couldn't for some reason. Yeah. Yeah, it

629
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.719
was like around my Grammy's birthday. I was like, yeah,

630
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:10.159
so I'm like I don't know, I just like I can't.

631
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:13.360
I'm finish, it just not there yet. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

632
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:15.440
but it worked out because my mom went there like

633
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:18.840
last month and got pictures for me, so totally worked.

634
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:19.760
That's awesome.

635
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.920
No, I mean I totally get it. No, I mean

636
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:26.480
we talked about it for a while, you know, I

637
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:30.519
was like, yeah, it wasn't even anything to do with

638
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.039
the case. But like you know, when we you know,

639
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:38.239
at the start of the year lost Charlie and everything,

640
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:42.719
I was like, I selfishly just want to announce our

641
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:47.639
happy news with Charlotte. I'm just not there yet. I'm

642
00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.800
still processing. And that was like, you know, it had

643
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.559
already been some time, it had been a little while

644
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:59.599
coming at that point, but yeah, I mean you just

645
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:01.559
you just have to get there. When you get there.

646
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:03.760
Yeah, so let's tear about it.

647
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:08.360
Okay, so you want to use the P ANDW dock.

648
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:10.880
Yeah, I'm feeling that deck.

649
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:13.440
I bet you are.

650
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.280
You need to get like a lighthouse deck.

651
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.079
Oh, that's a cool idea. There's got to be one

652
00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:21.719
out there, right, Honestly, we would have to send Zandy

653
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.519
another deck if we find a light outside.

654
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:29.719
Oh yeah, I know there's like a there's lighthouse decks

655
00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:34.239
of cards, because we did use one in Port Townsend.

656
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:36.639
They had one in the little the house that we

657
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:39.239
stayed in, the keeper's house, they had a little deck

658
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:40.719
of a lighthouse cards, just.

659
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:47.599
Like regular playing cards, right, yeah, yeah, okay. Charlotte woke

660
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:51.760
up when the power went out, because of course I

661
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:55.320
was like, what the f I literally I did the

662
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:00.800
Widow's Bay freaking and then I mean we were in

663
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:01.880
the middle of a ghost story.

664
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:03.119
Yeah, it's like kind.

665
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:03.519
Of freaking out.

666
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:05.800
Yeah.

667
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.519
Well, then the power came back on and then like

668
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:13.280
everything in the entire apartment beeps, and.

669
00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:20.360
She was like, hello, excuse my nap.

670
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:24.239
Yeah, okay, so I'm gonna spread these out in front of.

671
00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:25.480
My cable.

672
00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:30.280
Okay, you just kind of tell me, like if you

673
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:33.159
want to go directionally, if you want to say, like

674
00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:34.920
a letter or number key.

675
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.480
I was thinking about let's do a letter key. We'll

676
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:41.440
go for B because my grandma's name was Barbara. And

677
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:43.760
then it's also right under the G for grammy, so

678
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:44.360
that works.

679
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:50.000
The vibe is strong. And actually there's a section of

680
00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.559
the cards that's kind of like it's like a couple

681
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:58.000
of them that are like poking up ooh, left, right

682
00:39:58.119 --> 00:39:58.679
or center.

683
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:02.800
Oh, this is interesting.

684
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:05.079
So I drew this in the reverse so I don't

685
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:08.679
forget this is the six of Pentacles. I don't think

686
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:13.079
we've gotten this from this deck. Okay, what's interesting is

687
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.760
I was like, this is kind of an odd card,

688
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.159
except you see this almost looks like kind of a cauldron.

689
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:24.360
Oh and then does this is a ginormous tall tree.

690
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:26.199
It makes me think of a lighthouse.

691
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:30.559
Yeah, that is really cool. Now we have to know

692
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.599
the story from the little book so we can see,

693
00:40:33.760 --> 00:40:36.000
like what if it says what the trees are? Or like,

694
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:38.840
what interesting we got pentacles because they're kind of like

695
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:42.639
pentagrams if you turn them upside down. I mean they

696
00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:44.400
are pentagrams if you turn them up back.

697
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:48.519
Yeah, I don't know. I understand why you would say

698
00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:51.960
they're kind of like because I feel like the intent

699
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:55.360
can like is kind of different.

700
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:57.280
If that makes sense. Yeah, that's true.

701
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:06.840
You know, nurse log red Vole, our keywords are generosity, charity, giving, sharing, wealth,

702
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:11.960
help and support, receiving what you need, and gratitude.

703
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:16.000
Oh okay, I mean I know we got it in reverse,

704
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:21.400
but those keywords are like how the lighthouse got saved. Yeah, yeah,

705
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:22.400
that reminds me.

706
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:26.480
Of for sure. It's like part of a I litteral Okay,

707
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:29.280
the word I want to say is in the first sentence.

708
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:34.679
So in life, the tree supported an ecosystem. It gave

709
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:38.800
its limbs and bark as shelter. It gave its leaves

710
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:42.840
and seeds as sustenance. As it grew bigger, it took

711
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:47.280
pride in providing more for more and more inhabitants. It

712
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:51.360
had much to give, and it gave freely. But all

713
00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:56.199
life comes to an end. Oh that's crazy.

714
00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:58.840
All we talked about was death and ghosts and the

715
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:01.639
migramy diet Jesus. Okay.

716
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:07.440
When the tree fell, the crash of branches sent insects,

717
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:13.239
birds and rodents, scattering in all directions. But even grounded,

718
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:17.519
the tree had more to give. As it decayed, its

719
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:22.599
bark softened into a rich loam, becoming fertile ground for

720
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:27.079
the falling seeds of its neighbors. A patina of moss

721
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:32.320
spread over its surface, in sync, in sync, in sync,

722
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:42.039
Bye bye bye dead tree. I don't think that's going

723
00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:45.239
to make it to the top forty anyways, You never know,

724
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:48.639
you never know. Yeah, it could be a TikTok sound,

725
00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:50.480
and I mean that would be enough for me. But

726
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:55.920
insects delved even deeper into its wood to make new homes,

727
00:42:56.599 --> 00:43:02.239
hollow spaces, sheltered frogs and fowl and fun guy. In depth,

728
00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:08.800
the tree supported an ecosystem. Ooh, we talked about mushrooms randomly.

729
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:14.159
It mentioned birds what we talked about earlier. Also, you

730
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:18.440
said fertile and fertile reminds me of fertile myrtle, and

731
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:24.000
then moaning myrtle. So many connections things also okay, but

732
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:29.599
in realness, for real connections. The Quina Bay Lighthouse is

733
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:31.559
the only wood wooden leg.

734
00:43:31.760 --> 00:43:34.760
Yes, so we got that's interesting. We got talked about

735
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.800
the wood. Oh my god, that's really cool.

736
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:42.000
Before the reverse interpretation. There is an extra excerpt, and

737
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:44.599
I'm going to read it first, even though normally I

738
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:48.480
like to do the interpretation first. But be content with

739
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:53.440
what you have, rejoice in the way things are when

740
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:59.119
you realize there is nothing lacking. The whole world belongs

741
00:43:59.159 --> 00:43:59.519
to you.

742
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:03.599
Oh but I don't know about that, because if the

743
00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:07.119
people just what was the first line, but be content

744
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:08.199
with how things.

745
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.719
Are, be content with what you have, like, then the

746
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:14.360
lighthouse would have been rejoice in the way things are,

747
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.480
which I feel like. But the lighthouse was there and

748
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:21.079
they wanted to keep it, so like they're yeah, you're right, Yeah,

749
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.639
I feel like you can kind of spin that turn

750
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:25.280
of phrase.

751
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:28.400
Yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah, I get it.

752
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:30.280
The form of human chain around it. You want to

753
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.400
keep it forever and ever because you're happy with what

754
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:32.719
you have.

755
00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:37.000
I'm just saying, reversed. The six of Pentacles can show

756
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:43.599
unfair financial dealings, unreliable colleagues, or unpaid debts. Perhaps a

757
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:47.800
project or investment doesn't materialize as you'd hoped, or the

758
00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:50.440
strings attached to it choke you.

759
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:55.960
Yikes. Oh shit, dude, it did take them a while

760
00:44:56.039 --> 00:44:58.559
to get it saved. Yeah, Like there was a lot

761
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:00.280
of a lot of things.

762
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:05.440
Things happening six suggests relying on others for financial support,

763
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:07.719
even taking advantage of their goodwill.

764
00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:10.960
Okay, so that's interesting because I didn't really add this.

765
00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:14.840
But some guy from Chicago, who I guess, I think

766
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.280
they said he was originally from Oregon, but he was

767
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:20.519
really rich and he came back and like, technically he's

768
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:25.320
the one who saved the lighthouse. Okay, well that's interesting.

769
00:45:26.440 --> 00:45:30.840
Interesting, Okay, this next part in a reading about money,

770
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:34.679
the reverse six may mean getting involved in a questionable

771
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:39.719
financial endeavor that compromises or obligates you in some way.

772
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.880
The payoff may not be what you expected, or you

773
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:47.400
feel unsatisfied with the way your money is handled.

774
00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:50.360
I wonder. I don't really know much more than that,

775
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:54.159
but who knows. It was a museum for a while,

776
00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:56.719
and then all of a sudden it wasn't.

777
00:45:56.880 --> 00:46:04.599
Yeah, so I mean museum famously historical, you know, regional museums,

778
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:09.199
big money makers. Right. If the reading is about your job,

779
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:14.159
you may have difficulty balancing your needs and aspirations with

780
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:18.559
those of your employer. You may become disillusioned at how

781
00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:23.199
a company handles resources and responsibilities. That may just be

782
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:25.480
about me personally. It's hard to say.

783
00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:26.840
We don't know.

784
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:31.920
In a reading about love, you may feel an inequity

785
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:35.960
in the balance of power. Perhaps your needs aren't being met,

786
00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:40.719
or you aren't meeting your partner's needs. The reverse six

787
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:46.000
recommends focusing on give and take in a relationship, supporting

788
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:47.960
and encouraging each other.

789
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:55.159
Muriel and Harold, I'm in but we don't know that,

790
00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:59.039
or we're or was he in it and she was not?

791
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:01.239
I then there was no balance?

792
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:03.000
Yeah, I mean.

793
00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:06.400
I don't know. Yeah, I mean, we don't know. We

794
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.840
can only speculate about this fictional fictional gus.

795
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:13.559
We do, yeah, speculate wildly.

796
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:17.320
I really like though that I had the tree on

797
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.880
it and then that little what I don't know what

798
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:22.280
was the circle part? Is it water or is it

799
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:22.960
something else?

800
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:27.960
Punc We don't know that. We got a very clear

801
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:31.519
explanation of that. Let me go back really quick. I

802
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:35.840
almost feel like that's like the hollowed out portion, you

803
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:40.039
know what I mean. Yeah, it says it's a nurse log.

804
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:43.880
Let me see a nurse log. Oh, so like new

805
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:48.920
trees are growing from it? I don't know, let me see. Oh, okay,

806
00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:52.039
this makes sense. Okay, So a nurse log is a

807
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:56.599
fallen tree that, as it decays, provides a vital nursery

808
00:47:56.800 --> 00:48:03.199
environment for new seedlings and forests vegetation. Nice, Okay, Yeah,

809
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:05.960
you can tell a lot more about this, I think

810
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:10.840
when the image is more clear, Like on the one hand,

811
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:15.639
it still looks like it's like an upright tree, like

812
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:20.079
standing tall, but actually as I look at this more closely,

813
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:23.960
it looks like there are it's like moss, and then

814
00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:27.719
a couple of like kind of whether they're like offshoots

815
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:31.079
of the actual tree that is the nurse log, or

816
00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:35.719
whether they're new like kind of saplings. There's like branches,

817
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:39.559
So it's hard to say it's This is really interesting

818
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:43.400
because you can kind of like visually and like in

819
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.880
a very literal way, you can kind of interpret this

820
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:50.599
multiple ways. And there are mushrooms right here in the

821
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:54.559
like little bottom of the corner. And I mean it's

822
00:48:54.599 --> 00:49:02.400
not a bird, but but birds were in the interpretations.

823
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:05.840
Yeah, so you know, wish I didn't have anything to

824
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:07.760
do with the story, just what we were talking about earlier.

825
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:11.280
Yeah, I mean, hey, listen, sometimes you just catch a vibe.

826
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:13.920
Also, we made up the mushroom. We made a lot

827
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.880
in this episode, but that's okay. Well, we have fun here,

828
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:19.159
all right, Should we say goodbye?

829
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:22.159
I guess have a creepy ass day.

830
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:26.920
We'll see you next Thursday unless you get like locked

831
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:29.199
inside of a lighthouse and we never hear from you

832
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.920
ever again and you're just weird and wild screaming for

833
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:34.079
the rest of your life. So I don't do that. Guys.

834
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:38.280
I realized you're saying that more broadly, but I felt

835
00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:39.719
personally attacked by that.

836
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:43.400
It wasn't personal, it wasn't personal to anybody.

837
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:48.519
It felt like one of the ridiculous. Like, okay, so

838
00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:51.960
you've probably never listened to this podcast, but mister Balin,

839
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:56.599
who I occasionally as a guilty pleasure, have listened to

840
00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:01.800
one of his shows. He always makes up some ridiculous

841
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:06.519
like call to action like sequence to go with, you know,

842
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:11.039
like and subscribe or whatever. But instead of just saying that,

843
00:50:11.239 --> 00:50:14.079
he comes up with some horrific way for you to

844
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.400
torment the follow button.

845
00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:22.599
Oh interesting, it's so weird, and I kind of dig it.

846
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.360
I'm like, honestly, like, how did we not think of

847
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:28.800
that first? I feel like we're arguably more weird than him.

848
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:32.039
I don't know, maybe we should just steal it. I

849
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:34.599
don't throw that follow button in the Devil's punch hole.

850
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:43.119
It's a punch hole instead a punch bowl. That's kind

851
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:43.559
of funny.

852
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:48.360
Hey, listen, punch bowl, punch hole. Either way, there's a hole.

853
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:53.599
He punched the hole. Oh that will be punching them holes.

854
00:50:53.719 --> 00:50:54.639
Not without consents.

855
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:58.239
You don't, oh boy, Okay
