Episode 777: Move-In Ready (To Ruin Your Life)

April 20, 2026 / 50:40

This episode covers the strange phenomenon of blood seeping from the walls of a house in Atlanta, Georgia, and the haunting of Blacken House in Scotland. Ash and Elena discuss the eerie events surrounding Minnie and Willie Winston's home, where pools of blood appeared without explanation, and the mysterious history of Blacken House, known for its ghostly occurrences.

Ash recounts the story of Minnie and Willie Winston, who discovered blood dripping from their walls in 1987. Despite their confusion and fear, police investigations found no source for the blood, which was later confirmed to be human. The couple had no visitors, and the blood type did not match theirs, leaving many questions unanswered.

Elena shares the haunting history of Blacken House in Scotland, once deemed the most haunted home in the country. The house was associated with Major Robert Stewart, who had a deep connection with his dogs and a belief in reincarnation. After his death, the new owner reportedly had all the dogs executed, leading to a series of terrifying hauntings.

Both stories highlight the bizarre and unsettling nature of unexplained phenomena, with Minnie and Willie's blood mystery and the spectral occurrences at Blacken House. The episode concludes with a discussion about the implications of these hauntings and the nature of fear.

Listeners are left pondering the mysteries of the supernatural and the history behind these chilling tales.

TLDR

Minnie and Willie Winston's house bled human blood, while Blacken House in Scotland is haunted by ghostly dogs and unexplained phenomena.

00:02:09
>> Wow. >> Um, crazy [ __ ] >> Crazy [ __ ] >> We launched our merch and the only
00:02:15
There's two places you can buy it. There's one place if you're international, which is PodSwag.
00:02:20
>> Mhm. >> You can check out the link in our bio for the exact, you know, place to go.
00:02:23
>> And then the other one is the SiriusXM store. >> It has come to our attention that there
00:02:27
are a lot of [ __ ] fake sites selling our merch. >> Yeah, fake [ __ ] >> And Deb Deb helps us with the email and
00:02:34
she's gotten emails before that's like, "I've ordered this and I and I didn't get it."
00:02:38
>> That's because that's not our store and we don't have anything to do with it and
00:02:42
it's just some scammer taking your money and then not sending you the thing. >> AI now can set up websites that like
00:02:50
seem real, but >> So gross. >> I really hate it here. >> Yeah. >> I I really do.
00:02:55
>> I do, too. >> I don't love any of the AI stuff and I don't love that people can just make a shop and
00:03:02
sell merch. >> Yeah. >> It's really lame. So, if you want to check out the new merch, the only way to
00:03:07
do that is that PodSwag website or the SiriusXM store, both of which are linked in our bio.
00:03:13
>> is not us. We have nothing to do with it and it's fake. >> And chances are you're probably not
00:03:17
going to get it. >> Yeah, you might get your money stolen. So, don't buy from there.
00:03:22
>> No. Um, something else I really hate is that robot that you showed me the other day.
00:03:26
>> Oh, yeah, there's this robot in like Poland, I think it is. >> it was Poland.
00:03:30
>> And I think his name is Edward um, Warczaki. >> Yeah, I think it was. >> So, Warczaki.

00:03:52
[ __ ] you like >> like eat you alive. Watch The Strangers 2: Prey at Night. And he's not hurting
00:03:56
the boars, he's just chasing them back into the woods where they belong. >> But I don't like that he can run. Oh, I
00:04:01
think humans building robots, we are the stupidest species >> I know. >> that has ever graced this earth. Have
00:04:09
you ever seen a movie? >> We, humans, make movies about robots >> killing >> killing us all.
00:04:17
>> all. >> And then humans are like, "That's a >> like a robot. >> something we should try?"

>> Yawn, Maggie. >> Sorry, I keep it I'm it's not because you guys are boring me.

>> a bad sleep score last night? >> No, I got an all right sleep score. >> Not as good as mine.
00:04:58
>> I haven't had a good sleep score the last couple nights though, so I'm probably still dealing with that.
00:05:04
>> I have been sleeping so [ __ ] good lately. >> That's great. >> a 93 last night.
00:05:09
>> I've you know, cuz we have the Oura Ring, so that's what we're talking about.
00:05:13
>> Not an ad, but I love mine. Uh and and if you get one, I will get nothing out of it except the pure joy of
00:05:19
you also having that. >> Unless they want to sponsor us, in which case I would talk endlessly about it.
00:05:23
>> Yeah, Oura Ring, if you want to sponsor us, I tell everybody about my Oura >> We both recently told our separate
00:05:29
doctors about >> them, and I was like, "Listen, I know" We both of us were like, "Listen, we
00:05:32
know you're medical professionals. >> You're better than a ring, but like this >> But I do have this this data showing
00:05:38
>> Yeah, cuz the Oura Ring's great. >> And in both cases that like both of our doctors were like, "Oh, [ __ ] Yeah,
00:05:43
that's good." >> Yeah. >> So, I I know where I was going with that, but sleep I live and die by my
00:05:48
sleep score and I have yet to crack a 90. >> You've never gotten a 90? >> I don't think I've ever gotten above the
00:05:54
80s. >> Wow. These kids got to let you sleep. >> Yeah. >> Even when they do, you just don't.
00:06:00
>> Yeah, I don't think you >> get the deep sleep that you should. >> I'm enjoying my 90s while I have them.
00:06:05
>> Yeah, your 90s? >> Yeah. >> Um well, you know what? You're not going to sleep after hearing this story.
00:06:11
>> Oh, story. >> Yeah, both of these stories. We both have I don't even know what the freak to
00:06:18
classify this as. >> Yeah. >> It's just a weird phenom- phenomenon. A phenom. A phenom.
00:06:26
>> And you have a haunting? >> And I have a straight-up haunting. All right, so let's talk about my weird
00:06:31
phenomenon first. >> that. >> So, on Tuesday, September 8th, 1987, we're taking it back to the 80s.
00:06:37
>> Let's go. >> I was born. >> Period. >> You were 2 years old. >> I was. >> Um Minnie Winston was not. She was 77
00:06:42
years old. >> Oh, damn. >> And she had spent the day taking care of her husband, William Willie Winston.
00:06:48
>> William Willie Winston, Minnie Winston and Willie Winston. >> it. >> Uh he was 79 and sadly his health was
00:06:55
declining more and more recently. And these days he was on dialysis. Minnie was the one who brought him to and from
00:07:01
his appointments and then took care of him afterwards at home. She was a good wifey.
00:07:04
>> Yeah. >> Not only that, but she kept up with the house that they lived on on 1114
00:07:10
Fountain Drive in Atlanta, Georgia, baby. >> Okay. >> Hotlanta. By 1987, they had lived for about 22
00:07:17
years. This particular Tuesday, though, it had been a long [ __ ] day for Minnie. She
00:07:22
was ready for some relaxation at the end of the night and where do we go to relax, girlies? The bath.
00:07:30
>> I was like >> loves a bath. >> like, where do we go? >> You don't like a bath?
00:07:33
>> Uh I'm not a real bath person. I like a shower. >> I find that so odd. >> I like a nice everything shower.
00:07:40
>> I too love an everything shower, but to me there's nothing like a bath. So and Minnie felt the same. So she drew
00:07:47
herself one and she soaked for a little bit. She got that relaxation just all in
00:07:50
there. And then she took a moment to rest her mind, but it was not not long-lived. As
00:07:57
she was getting out of the bath, the worst part of taking a bath, she realized that there were little droplets
00:08:02
of blood on the bathroom floor. So she called out to her husband who up until that point had just been resting after
00:08:07
his long day. He came barreling out of the room when he heard the fear in Minnie's voice and
00:08:12
he too saw the blood on the floor. Now for a quick second Minnie felt relief that nothing had happened to him,
00:08:18
but then quickly she shifted her attention back to the blood on the floor. Where the [ __ ] did that come
00:08:22
from? They didn't have any pets in the house, but she was like maybe some kind of animal got in here.
00:08:27
Now Willie took on the task of searching around their six-room house and quickly realized that
00:08:33
there were pools of blood in almost every single room. >> I'd be concerned. >> Yeah. It was also seeping from the walls
00:08:44
and then the reason they were finding pools of blood is because it was pooling on the floor after just seeping from the
00:08:50
walls. >> Oh. >> Yep. It was coming out of crawl spaces that nobody had access to and even
00:08:59
underneath their entertainment center they also found pools of blood. >> What the [ __ ]
00:09:04
>> At one point Minnie said it started spurting quote like a sprinkler from a hole in the bathroom floor.
00:09:10
>> Oh. >> Yeah. So they didn't really know what to do other than call the police. So they
00:09:14
said, "911, we have an emergency. We're just not sure how to classify it." >> Honestly valid.
00:09:20
>> And the police arrived and they checked around the property and they too saw the
00:09:24
blood, but were just as confused as Minnie and Willie were because there didn't seem to be any source that the
00:09:29
blood was coming from, but it was it seemed at least like real blood, like not some other substance, you know, like
00:09:35
leaking from a pipe or anything like that. Yeah, nothing rusty. Just it seemed like straight-up blood.
00:09:41
To be sure, they did check and see if there were any busted pipes and sure enough there were not. There were also
00:09:46
no signs of a break-in and the house had an alarm system that was set earlier that night.
00:09:51
Now when they were asked, Minnie and Willie said they hadn't had any visitors in the last couple of days. So,
00:09:57
no visitors who might have accidentally bled all over the house. Someone crawled into crawl space his
00:10:04
blood in there. >> Yeah, exactly. Then just left to be And we would have noticed earlier.
00:10:09
>> never know with house guests, you know? You just can't be sure. >> Yeah. Have you ever seen Ramona on the
00:10:13
New York Housewives? >> Yeah, that >> Going to the Berkshires. >> might be different.
00:10:16
>> Yeah. >> Not blood, but something else. >> stuff. >> Just ripping sharks off.
00:10:21
Now, a lab tech, Brenda Dipple, was called in to take a sample of the blood and it was sent to the Georgia State
00:10:27
Crime Lab to be to be tested. Steve Cartwright, one of the homicide detectives on the case, said he had
00:10:32
never seen anything like this during his 10 years on the force. And he went on to
00:10:36
say that he said, "It was an extremely strange situation. I'm guessing it was an animal. Hope that's all it was."
00:10:43
>> Because it wasn't That's I mean, what else could it be? >> Here's the thing though, sorry to
00:10:47
[ __ ] disappoint you, Mr. Steve. When the blood came back from the lab, in fact, it was confirmed to be human blood
00:10:54
and it was type O positive to be specific. >> Wasn't me. >> Wasn't you. >> I wasn't bleeding all over that house.
00:11:00
>> Uh it wasn't me cuz I wasn't alive, but I don't know my blood type. >> That freaks me out that it came back
00:11:05
human. >> Yeah. >> Like I don't think we properly sat on that. >> Well, do you We didn't because we have
00:11:12
to get to the most important part. Minnie and Willie both had the same blood type.
00:11:17
Type A. Which is not O positive. >> So, it wasn't their blood either and they were the only two [ __ ] people
00:11:23
that lived there. >> Who, what, when, where, why? >> don't like it. So, the police were able
00:11:29
to determine that no homicide had taken place at the residence, but other than that, they were very stumped as to how
00:11:35
this amount of type O human blood just started seeping from the walls and shooting through the floor.
00:11:41
>> That's That's such a valid inquiry. >> Yeah, safe to say they had never experienced anything like that.
00:11:47
Rumors started to fly around Fulton County once this started getting out there. People were guessing everything
00:11:53
from paranormal to obviously some kind of hoax. Media was gathered outside of the house 24/7 to the point where Minnie
00:12:00
started to get agitated, too, especially because of the state that her husband's
00:12:03
health was in. >> Yeah. >> If they needed to leave the house to get to a doctor's appointment or if some
00:12:07
kind of emergency happened, it would have been dangerous to get through all those people.
00:12:12
Now, time went on and there were still no, I guess you would say, leads in the case. Once the detectives were able to
00:12:17
determine that there was no foul play involved, they really didn't have time to just figure out what this was. Like,
00:12:23
they had to shift their attention to more pressing matters. >> Yeah. >> Uh 1987 in Fulton County, Atlanta was
00:12:29
intense, to say the least, too. >> You don't say. >> There was a lot of racially
00:12:33
racially charged crimes taking place, a couple including the police departments,
00:12:38
too. 19-year-old Lamar Montgomery had been shot and killed by an officer who claimed self-defense, but it was
00:12:44
determined to be otherwise when they found the gunshot in the back the back windshield, meaning that Lamar had
00:12:50
driven his car past the officer and not into the officer like the officer said. >> Damn.
00:12:57
>> Now, when detectives couldn't figure out what had gone on in the house, they tried to say that it was some kind of
00:13:01
hoax. One of the lead detectives on the case, Horace Walker, spoke to a group of
00:13:05
skeptics in 1994, and he told them two reasons why this thing this entire thing could have been a hoax. He said, "There
00:13:12
were some family problems going on between the parents and the children." Willie and Minnie had three kids, one of
00:13:18
whom Horace claimed worked at a hospital and had access to blood. >> Oh. >> So, Horace threw out the idea that maybe
00:13:24
their daughter got the blood from the hospital and was somehow able to plant it in the house for like some kind of
00:13:30
gain. He thought maybe that was Yeah. He thought maybe that gain was financial to the daughter if she was
00:13:36
able to use the incident to prove that her parents were unwell or unstable. >> Oh.
00:13:42
>> So, but I don't know, maybe she wanted that. He I think from his theory maybe
00:13:45
she wanted the house and she could get them into like a care facility or something like that.
00:13:50
>> Yeah. >> He also though floated the idea and I feel like this is really mean. That
00:13:55
Willie could have gotten the blood from the hospital because he was always in and out of the hospital since he was on
00:14:00
dialysis. I was like, I think they're like keeping track of him while he's there.
00:14:04
>> Yeah, and like here's the thing, it's not like super easy to just snag blood as a patient out of the hospital.
00:14:09
>> I've never attempted. >> I mean, as far as I know >> Okay. >> it's it's not easy to just to just grab
00:14:15
and go. >> I wouldn't think. >> They don't have it in like a freezer like at a convenience store where you
00:14:20
can just like grab it all a cart. >> No, it's not like where you like there you they offer you a jello and they say
00:14:24
you can get it the blood's not in there. >> And you it's like, I could get a jello
00:14:28
or I could get a a bag of blood. >> Yeah, no. Well, his idea behind Willie getting the
00:14:33
blood was so that he or so that the couple could gain the attention that they were looking for from their
00:14:38
children. Which I was like, I feel like >> so sad. >> Well, and that's really mean to float
00:14:42
that idea and two, I think they could do like a million other things to get that
00:14:46
attention. >> They could do literally any other thing. >> Yeah. >> And I also think that's so sad.
00:14:53
>> Yeah, it really is. And anyway, in the beginning of the investigation, officers
00:14:57
were searching blood banks and they found that no blood had gone missing. >> Yeah, oh, even weirder.
00:15:02
>> Yeah. This segment is brought to you by Kotex. We heard that when your period leaves a

00:15:37
>> Being in your house, vibing, and then there's blood dripping down the wall. I
00:15:41
would I would literally run outside and just plop a for sale sign on the front yard.
00:15:46
>> Oh, immediately. No questions asked. House is yours now. I'm gone. Bye. >> Have it, babe.
00:15:52
>> Yeah. Yeah, but that's the thing. It's not even like a big dramatic moment at
00:15:55
first. It's just like that slow realization of what's happening. Uh and why am I not prepared for this?
00:16:02
>> Which honestly is a very specific kind of panic that exists outside of haunted
00:16:08
houses as well, I think. >> It does, because tell me why my uterus sometimes does the exact same thing.
00:16:14
Zero warning, worst timing possible, and I'm like, "Cool, I guess we're bleeding
00:16:18
now." >> Oh, yeah. And then the best part is society has trained us to go into like
00:16:22
full stealth mode about it. >> Yeah. Suddenly you're a secret agent. You're like, "Okay, no sudden movements.
00:16:27
Don't alert anybody. Act natural." >> When in reality, periods are just normal bodily functions that we've been taught
00:16:34
not to talk about, which is kind of wild. >> No, it really is. That's why I love

00:17:58
the case is Kurt Rowlette. He writes about the bleeding house in his book labyrinth 13 true tales of the occult
00:18:04
crime and conspiracy. He actually got the chance to interview Minnie Winston a while after that night
00:18:09
in September when all the blood just appeared. What a crazy story. >> house started bleeding.
00:18:13
>> Yeah. He asked her if anything paranormal had happened in all the time that she and Willie had lived in the
00:18:18
house and Minnie kind of dodged the question never giving him a straight answer. But she did tell him that she
00:18:25
was satisfied now that the substance oozing from the walls and shooting from the bathroom floor wasn't actually
00:18:32
blood. She said it was mud and rust mixed with water that came into the house because of a ruptured hot water
00:18:37
heater in the basement. >> Mhm. >> And she went on to say if she thought the substance was actually blood there
00:18:43
was no way she'd still be living in the house. >> I my here's my problem. Where's the mud that we can find that's
00:18:52
type O positive? >> Exactly. >> Okay. >> Exactly. >> Clearly I think Minnie was just freaked
00:18:57
out by the whole incident and probably had to convince herself otherwise to live in her home.
00:19:01
>> I I too would probably do that. >> Yeah. So she got to the point where she was like oh no it's not blood. The the
00:19:07
water heater did burst and it was rust. >> Yeah. It's you know know, lab said it's
00:19:10
human blood but like what do they know? Wrong-o, you know? >> Yeah, wrong-o literally.
00:19:14
>> Wrong-o. So, sadly Minnie's husband died 2 years after that night. >> At 81 years old. Minnie actually lived
00:19:22
to be 104. >> Winnie? >> And she never commented on whether or not she thought the house was haunted.
00:19:28
Or Minnie, sorry. I said Winnie. >> Oh, did I say Winnie first? >> Maybe. I don't know.
00:19:33
>> Minnie, excuse me. >> done that. >> I'll I'll take fault with you. You know what? We'll both forgive each other.
00:19:38
>> Solidarity, sister. >> So, Minnie. >> Minnie. >> Oh, I did say Winnie because I wrote
00:19:43
Winnie. What an [ __ ] I am. No, Minnie lived to be 104. >> 104? >> I know. What a bad [ __ ] Like I want I
00:19:52
want to live to be 140, personally. >> Woah. >> Yeah. >> You're trying to top that?
00:19:57
>> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Personally, I would like to hang out with my kids for like so long.
00:20:01
>> Oh, I get that. >> point where they're like They're like, "Nana, let's get you back
00:20:05
inside." Now, in his book Labyrinth 13th, uh Labyrinth 13, excuse me, Rawlet points
00:20:11
out that this actually isn't the first time in history that blood has just manifested itself seemingly out of
00:20:17
nowhere. >> Love that. >> He wrote of an instance in North Carolina that happened in 1884.
00:20:22
A woman named Kit Lassiter was the first one to report the blood, but quickly other people in the 60-ft area confirmed
00:20:28
what what Kit had seen. She said she was working out in the field of a farm when
00:20:32
she realized that it was raining blood. >> Oh my god. >> It's raining blood. >> And then you don't say hallelujah.
00:20:40
>> just going to say that. >> You say, "Oh, [ __ ] Oh, [ __ ] What do we do?" So, the earth around her she said
00:20:46
started to become stained with this red substance, and it was pooling in some areas almost as big as a finger.
00:20:53
>> Ew. >> Yeah. It was found on the earth where Kit had said, but also in the surrounding area it had stained trees
00:20:59
and was found on bushes and grass. Like she did not make this up at all. >> Did a bunch of birds just like explode
00:21:05
midair? >> Maybe. Dr. Francis Preston Venable was able to test some of the blood that had
00:21:11
fallen, the blood rain, I guess you could call it, and he determined that it was blood, but he could not determine
00:21:16
the exact type. So, maybe a bunch of birds did explode. >> Maybe it did. >> I don't know.
00:21:20
>> I don't know. >> Now, Danny Cherry Jr. hints at a potential reason for why the blood
00:21:25
appeared in Minnie and Willie's home. Before Minnie and Willie had started renting the home, there was a previous
00:21:31
tenant named Albert Thompson. He was a black man working as the director of regional relations with the Federal
00:21:38
Housing Authority during a particularly racially charged time in Fulton County. One night, he was driving home and he
00:21:45
was hit by a trucker. It's unclear whether or not it was intentional because it was not really
00:21:51
investigated very much and the trucker was free to go. Apparently, it was determined that he had faulty brakes,
00:21:57
but there's a lot of mystery surrounding it. >> Yeah, there's a lot of thoughts. Now,
00:22:01
Albert was quickly treated at the hospital, but he later died in his home from internal bleeding that he was left
00:22:07
with after the accident that they did not catch. >> And allegedly, he died on Halloween
00:22:11
night. >> Mhm. >> Now, it's interesting to note that the blood in Minnie and Willie's home
00:22:16
appeared leading up to not only the anniversary of the accident, but also the night that Albert Thompson died.
00:22:22
>> Ooh, interesting. >> Right? Now, Danny Cherry Jr. related the bleeding walls at Minnie and Willie's
00:22:27
house also to the Catholic martyr St. Januarius. >> Mhm. >> St. Januarius was arrested during the
00:22:34
persecution of the Christians. And legend has it that his punishment for hiding fellow Christians would be being
00:22:41
fed to bears. >> Oh. >> But that the public might freak out a little bit about that.
00:22:46
>> Why? >> So, instead, he and the Christians that he protected were beheaded. Now,
00:22:52
cuz they were like, public doesn't care about that. >> They said public might freak out about
00:22:56
bears, beheadings they're still chill with. >> they are super chill with. >> It's okay.
00:23:01
>> Been that way for a while. >> Now, to this day people go to Naples where there's a sample of Januarius'
00:23:07
blood that is said to liquefy three times throughout the year. >> What the [ __ ]
00:23:13
>> That's cool as hell. >> Well, a few years ago the blood didn't liquefy and people took that as a bad
00:23:19
omen because the last time it didn't liquefy was September 19th, 1980. That is the saint's feast day. So, the
00:23:27
believers got especially nervous or they and they do in general if the blood doesn't liquefy on that day.
00:23:32
Rightfully so it seems because there was a devastating earthquake that happened just 2 months later and 3,000 people
00:23:40
were killed. >> Shut up. >> Now, maybe this was the case at Minnie and Willie's house, a sign of something
00:23:45
bad to come or a spirit or an energy that dwelled in the house just fed up with everything going on in the area.
00:23:52
>> Damn. >> Moral of the story though, blood be wildin. >> Blood is crazy. >> I also whenever anybody says blood, I
00:24:01
just think of that old YouTube video where the kid is going blood blood blood. >> Yep.
00:24:08
>> Isn't that wild? >> That's wild and also the blood of Januarius there just made me think of
00:24:13
that I saw this thing that was like how like um Catholic like um aesthetics >> Okay.
00:24:20
>> are just >> metal as hell. >> So metal and that right there is a perfect example like that they just have
00:24:27
like a a little bit of that saint's blood. >> Yeah. >> And it just liquefies a few times a
00:24:32
year. Like that is >> it doesn't >> so cool. >> people [ __ ] panic. >> Yeah, as they should. I feel like you
00:24:37
should. I don't I don't even know what it's about, but sure. >> Are you guys like mad at witchcraft?
00:24:41
That feels pretty [ __ ] witchy to me. >> That feels so witchy, but so cool. It's
00:24:45
all cool. I like that's cool. >> Yeah, stigmata is crazy. >> That's gnarly. >> Yeah.
00:24:50
>> Wow. What a tale. >> Top that. >> Top that? >> Well, I'm going to try to top that
00:24:57
with a Scottish house. Scottish. And it's called the Blacken House. Bless you. It's called the Blacken House. Okay. But
00:25:06
I like how Scottish people say it cuz they say Blacken. >> Okay. >> It was once known to be Scotland's most
00:25:13
haunted home. >> Ooh. >> they have since topped it perhaps, but was once deemed that.
00:25:21
>> Okay. >> Uh so Blacken House is uh it is a gorgeous like Georgian style manor house.
00:25:28
>> Ooh. >> Beautiful. It's like it sits in these like manicured gardens and it's in
00:25:33
Perthshire countryside. >> I like the way that sounds. >> I hope I said it correct. It's gorgeous.
00:25:39
It's sprawling. It's just It looks like you could have your like reawakening in this house.
00:25:47
>> Ah. >> It really does. It's beautiful. >> I think I'm going to reawaken in this
00:25:51
house. >> Precisely. That's Blacken House. It was built in 1806. It was built by a very renowned Scottish
00:26:00
architect, Robert Smirk. Uh it was commissioned for the Stewart family. >> Okay.
00:26:06
>> Uh the Stewart family was said to be descendants of King Robert II of Scotland.
00:26:10
>> Feels like that's a big deal. >> Pretty serious family there. >> Serious. >> In 1835, this estate So it was like in
00:26:16
the family the whole time and it ended passing to Major Robert Stewart. >> Okay.
00:26:20
>> And at the time that it was passed to him, he was in the military. He was serving overseas. I think he was in
00:26:25
India, actually. So it got passed to him while he was over there. So he ended up
00:26:29
renting it out while he was gone. >> Smart. >> Make a little cash. >> Yeah, he was like, "Why not?" So after
00:26:34
he retired, he finally I think he was like 25-30 years in the military. It was a long career.
00:26:40
>> And after he finally retired, he was like, "I'm going to live in Blacken myself."
00:26:45
>> So he did. >> Okay. >> He was eccentric by all accounts. >> Yeah. >> Um people liked him. Like it's not like
00:26:52
he was like mean or anything. He just He was a strange guy. >> We're kind of eccentric.
00:26:56
>> Yeah, I feel like I'm very eccentric, so like I get it. >> People like us. >> Yeah.
00:26:59
>> Yeah. >> And he did get hurt, I think, in the military, and he had a limp. >> Aw.
00:27:03
>> So I think like people were mean that made him, quote unquote, eccentric to people.
00:27:08
>> That's eccentric. I think that's just like he's struggling a little bit, maybe.
00:27:11
>> he should just get an injury. But like sure, people. Uh, but people liked him, but he really loved dogs,
00:27:18
which makes me love him. >> keeper. >> That's That's a good sportsman. And he had tons of dogs at Blakenham House.
00:27:26
>> All the dogs. >> Tons of dogs. Loved his dogs. He had a crew of dogs. >> I mean, what's a What's a group of dogs
00:27:33
called? Do you know? >> A litter. >> Is that it? >> A pack or a litter. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, right? Yeah.
00:27:40
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. All right, we knew that. >> of dogs, a litter of dogs. >> Yeah. Uh, but it should be something
00:27:45
more fun, though. >> I know. >> Uh, but yeah, he had a favorite who was a black spaniel. I couldn't find what he
00:27:51
named that black spaniel, which I'm upset about. But he loved that black spaniel. It was like his best bro.
00:27:56
>> Aw. >> And he also, when he came back and lived in Blakenham House, he had this like
00:28:01
really intense uh, belief in reincarnation. Like he got very into researching >> I
00:28:08
>> and I transmigration, I think it's called, is when you go into a non-human vessel.
00:28:13
>> Oh, okay. >> So he was very interested in that and believed in it. >> Interesting.
00:28:17
>> You know. >> I find that [ __ ] very fascinating. >> very fascinating, and it's also kind of
00:28:22
comforting. >> What would you come back as? >> I'd want to come back as cuz I'm like, I
00:28:28
don't want to come back as another human. I probably >> a human. >> Yeah, a crow would be cool.
00:28:33
>> A crow would be fun. >> Um, I think that would be rad. I would also I I wanted to say dog because dogs
00:28:38
live like the coolest life, but I'm like, what if you get a shitty owner? Then you got to rely on humans.
00:28:43
>> That is tough. >> That's a gamble. >> I was going to say cat because they sleep so much.
00:28:48
>> That's true. >> And they can like fit everywhere, and they just like bask in the sun. But like
00:28:53
you said, you got to you got to rely on a good owner. >> Yeah. It's tough. >> I know.
00:28:58
>> Humans that have it the earth are so lucky. >> what though? I'm good in this life. Like
00:29:01
I've done good things. >> So I feel I do I wonder, and I don't I've never really looked into it too
00:29:07
much, but I do wonder if part of reincarnation is like >> unfinished >> based on who you were in the last life.
00:29:13
>> That makes sense. >> Like you you'd get good things in the next life. >> Yeah, that'd be sick.
00:29:17
>> Yeah, it's kind of like karma. >> Yeah, like if you're like a [ __ ] person, you come back as a piece of toilet
00:29:21
paper. >> Oh my god, that'd be nice. >> No, even worse. You it need to be like an it would need to be animate.
00:29:27
>> Yeah, that's true. >> Um What if you were really shitty? You should come back as like a rat.
00:29:33
>> Yeah. >> Cuz you are a rat. >> Cuz you're a rat. >> Hear that? >> rat >> But yeah, he was really into that.
00:29:38
>> Okay. >> So >> Anyway, apparently I was really into it, too. >> Super into it. Um and one of his
00:29:44
greatest wishes in life, and he was very expressive about this wish, was that he
00:29:49
wanted to come back as one of his dogs. >> Aw, okay, that's why people said he was
00:29:55
eccentric. >> And he wanted to come back as that spaniel. He just like really wanted to
00:29:59
He was like, "When I die, hopefully they'll be alive still, and I can just transmute right into their
00:30:04
>> Oh my god, that's really cute. >> I think is just nice. >> wanted his soul to intertwine with his
00:30:09
dog's soul. [ __ ] I take back my answer. I'd like to become Dolores. >> Right? And that's the thing. And I feel
00:30:15
also I'm like that thing He wasn't hurting anyone being saying that, you know? >> No.
00:30:20
>> Like just let him be like that. >> I think they did, right? >> Yeah, I think they did.
00:30:24
>> Okay. >> He was very isolated, though. He liked being isolated, I think. He just
00:30:28
>> So they were just respecting his wishes. >> He was in his beautiful manor house in
00:30:32
Blacken >> Okay. >> house, and he was hanging out. Um he didn't really have a whole lot of people
00:30:37
around the house. He also didn't have a lot of like staff at all. >> He liked dogs.
00:30:41
>> At one point he had one single staff person. Like just one person who helped him out. Her name was Sarah and she
00:30:48
lived there. >> All right. >> There was questions and there still remains questions about what that
00:30:53
relationship exactly was cuz he never married. >> Okay. >> Uh and so like you never know. Uh she
00:31:00
was like in her 20s at the time. Like she was um and you know, seemed to be getting along.
00:31:06
And in 1873 though, Sarah, who was only 27 at the time, she died mysteriously and very unexpectedly.
00:31:14
>> Okay. >> Nobody knows what, how. Nobody knows what the circumstances were. >> questioned his belief on reincarnation.
00:31:20
>> know if it's foul play or what. >> Huh. >> It's very It's a little shady. >> That is a little shady.
00:31:26
>> Yeah, but it was also the 1800s and people died if you like looked at them the wrong way.
00:31:29
>> That's very true. And a lot of people claimed that she died in the main bedroom.
00:31:36
>> Huh. >> So that's interesting and that room would later become very central to all
00:31:41
the hauntings. >> Interesting. >> what happened there? >> Murder. >> love to know what happened there.
00:31:48
I think this is one of those situations where like you know how when we did the Sam and Colby
00:31:53
uh investigation at SK Mansion and we were trying to solve the mystery. That would be a good one to do to solve the
00:31:58
mystery. Let's go to Scotland and solve that mystery. >> Uh but 3 years later in 1876,
00:32:06
Major Stewart himself passed away. >> 3 years later? >> Yeah. >> Could it be guilt?
00:32:10
>> At the age of 70. >> Damn, he lived a long ass life. >> Yeah, I know for that time.
00:32:15
>> And in some reports, it does say that he's buried next to Sarah. >> Hmm. >> So I'm like
00:32:22
what's that about? >> Maybe she died in an accident and maybe they were like >> Maybe and they were just they were just
00:32:27
buds. >> Yeah, maybe they were homies. >> I'm really I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt.
00:32:32
>> I know. We're like people going to people and then we're like maybe they were maybe they
00:32:36
>> And they were was nice and kind. >> I just want to believe that. Please just let me have this.
00:32:40
>> Yeah. >> Uh we don't have any evidence to the contrary, so but in his will he requested that his
00:32:46
beloved dogs be allowed to remain at Balmoral Castle. >> Okay. >> Um and he still wanted to come back as
00:32:54
one of those dogs. But he just whoever moved in cuz it was going to pass to a family member. So in the will he just
00:32:59
said please keep my dogs in the house. >> That's a pretty simple request. >> very simple request for a big beautiful
00:33:04
dog. Now trigger warning. >> Oh no. >> Just for animal cruelty. Yeah. >> Meanness.
00:33:14
>> He did have a few siblings, but there was like a lot of uh like a lot of them were just here and
00:33:20
there. You know what I mean? He had a sister named Isabel or Isabella who became a nun at one point. She died in
00:33:25
1880. >> Rip. >> The reason I mentioned her is that possibly comes back later. Just remember
00:33:30
Isabella became a nun. It ended up that the estate ended up passing to his nephew, John Stewart.
00:33:37
>> Okay. >> Who apparently didn't want his uncle to get a chance to come back as one of his
00:33:40
dogs. Uh and he was so put off by this fact that before he and his family moved into
00:33:47
Balmoral Castle, he either executed or had all the dogs executed. >> I hope that he comes back as [ __ ]
00:33:58
>> Yeah. He's a mon- that's monstrous. >> That's horrible. >> This one this one request that is pretty
00:34:04
simple. You just get to hang out with a bunch of [ __ ] dogs in a cool house. >> What the [ __ ] is wrong with you?
00:34:09
>> Wow. >> And this was the real turning point for Balmoral Castle, I would say.
00:34:14
>> It really started off that gnarly energy. Immediately John Stewart's family started to be
00:34:20
haunted. And honestly, I'd haunt the [ __ ] out of my family. Because of all the scary [ __ ] that
00:34:26
started happening, servants and governesses that were liv- like living in the house for them, they refused to
00:34:32
remain in the house unless they were paired together. >> Wow. >> not work unless they were working in
00:34:36
twos. >> They said, "Honey, there is strength in numbers." >> I mean, this whole family wasn't allowed
00:34:40
to sleep because of these hauntings. Like, they were being kept up at night. >> Good.
00:34:44
>> They would hear These are just some of the things that they experienced. They
00:34:47
would hear violent knocking and thumping throughout the halls. Uh heated arguments echoing all over the house
00:34:54
when everyone was sleeping. >> Right. >> Like, full-on pissing matches when like
00:34:59
no one was around to be arguing. >> Not a pissing match. >> Sudden loud explosion sounds.
00:35:04
>> Explosion? >> With no source. >> You guys got to sit with that for a second. You're sitting in your house
00:35:11
straight chilling. >> Yeah. >> And you hear an explosion. And you look for the source and there is
00:35:17
none. >> Yeah. That'll [ __ ] you up. >> There was also footsteps in the like empty corridors and sometimes This is so
00:35:26
scary. Sometimes the footsteps would start walking and then they would start running.
00:35:31
And they would run full speed up to a door that somebody like was in the room and it sounded like they somebody would
00:35:37
throw themselves against the door as hard as they could. >> I have goosebumps. >> Which would [ __ ] me up.
00:35:43
>> All over my back right now. That's some paranormal activity type [ __ ] >> Yeah. No.
00:35:47
>> Ew. >> Yeah. >> Oh, that's haunting. >> Yep. One day John's wife was alone in
00:35:53
like the library or the study or the office, whatever it was. She was She said she smelled the overwhelming
00:36:00
smell of wet dog. And then she said she felt multiple like what felt like dogs brush against her
00:36:07
legs. >> Holy [ __ ] >> Which you know those dogs were like, "Hey, you know what's one of the worst
00:36:13
smells known to man? >> Wet dog. >> So, they were like, "Smell it." >> "We got to rub this on your legs,
00:36:20
bitch." >> Now you're going to smell like wet us. >> Oh, wet us is not good. >> No. A maid claimed to like walk into a
00:36:27
hallway and see the upper half of a woman suspended in midair. >> I wonder if they did any renovations cuz
00:36:34
that happens. >> wondered that, too. Or it's just a half woman. >> Yeah, or could be even scarier.
00:36:39
>> That is scarier. >> Uh they would hear a moan sometimes and then it would sound like whatever moaned
00:36:44
fell to the ground. >> Oh, no. They hear a moan and then like a thump. >> So it's not a moan of ecstasy.
00:36:49
>> No, like a bad like I'm dying. >> Oh. >> Um some one of the strangest things they
00:36:54
would see is a spectral nun. >> What was the lady's name? >> Isabella. >> Isabella the nun.
00:37:00
>> It might be Isabella. Maybe she was like, "How dare you not respect his last wishes?"
00:37:05
>> was my brother. So, be nice. >> Apparently, everything was becoming way too much. Obviously, that's a lot to
00:37:12
deal with and he had children. >> Yeah, I mean you you had me at explosions. >> Yeah, exactly. So, eventually John had
00:37:18
an entire new wing built onto Blacken House and moved his entire family into that new wing.
00:37:25
>> Why don't you just move house if you can afford to do that? >> I don't know if they I don't know if
00:37:29
they could. >> Okay. >> At the time, I don't know what the whole shebang was. But they just kind of
00:37:33
abandoned a lot of the original house. >> That feels like it's going to make things much worse.
00:37:37
>> Well, and one of the like maids who worked there or governesses ended up quitting unexpectedly and like fleeing.
00:37:44
And later she was she reported that it was because she simply couldn't handle the haunting anymore.
00:37:48
>> Yeah. >> Um in 1895, John Stewart was in the room because they like abandoned the main
00:37:54
house, but they would have to go in there sometimes for certain things. >> Mhm. >> And he was in the main bedroom.
00:38:01
And he was using the telephone. He was talking to a like a business associate about going to London for business for
00:38:07
business things. >> Yes, business. >> Um and both peo- hit the person on the phone and John heard three huge bangs.
00:38:16
Like knocks, like big knocks. >> Yeah. >> And the person on the phone could hear
00:38:20
it, too. They were like, "What the [ __ ] was that?" >> Shortly after that, John went to London
00:38:25
for this business trip. And while crossing a street near King's Cross Station, he was struck by a a car and
00:38:31
killed. And a lot of people wondered if those three knocks were a warning knock or
00:38:36
like a death omen. >> [ __ ] >> Like, isn't that [ __ ] up? >> Yeah. >> And the rumors and tales of the haunting
00:38:44
of this house like were spreading all over the place. People were terrified to go near it. It became like that place.
00:38:50
>> Yeah. >> Because after he died, they moved out of the house. >> Of course. >> Um in 1892, a Father Hayden, who was a
00:38:56
Jesuit priest in the area, he was invited by I don't remember who invited him, but they said, "You should stay in
00:39:03
the main house and see what you experience and try to like make it chill." >> Yeah.
00:39:08
>> And so make it chill, bro. >> Yeah, make it chill. So, he did. And when he went to bed the first night, he
00:39:13
said he was absolutely tormented by a relentless just string of noises. >> Ew. >> I He said he could hear animals in the
00:39:21
room. Like >> dogs. >> I think he heard dogs. He could hear wailing cries and moaning. He could hear
00:39:28
whimpering of dogs. >> Oh. >> Um he heard knocks against the walls. He heard the person running down the hall
00:39:34
and slamming against the door. >> I think that one [ __ ] me up most of all. >> I Every time you say that, I get full
00:39:39
chills. >> Like, look at my leg. Can you see my goosebumps from across the room right
00:39:43
now? >> It's the worst one. >> I hate it. >> At dawn, he was like, "Nope." And he got
00:39:47
the [ __ ] out of there. Not long after this, a young family moved in. They were super optimistic,
00:39:54
very unaware of what they were moving into. >> They only planned to rent this place for
00:39:58
a year. >> Okay. >> So, they were only going to move in for a year. >> Um >> But and they were excited to do this.
00:40:04
And the haunting started almost immediately. >> Oh, it's not their fault. They didn't
00:40:07
hurt the dog. >> But nobody wants them living there. They heard constant bangs, knocks, and
00:40:12
footsteps again where it seemed like someone would throw themselves against the doors.
00:40:16
>> Ooh, stop saying that. >> They would encounter ice cold spots in the house and would hear groans and
00:40:20
moans, all manner of things. >> Hate it. >> Uh they also saw a white mist-like woman
00:40:24
walking through the halls. I wonder if she's like the half woman, too. And she would just go in and out of the
00:40:29
bedrooms. Like just kind of like >> Maybe she I wonder if maybe she was somebody who had worked there
00:40:34
previously. >> Maybe. >> Like she was just like making >> beds and stuff. >> Yeah.
00:40:38
>> Then one night they awoke to this huge thump in their room. And so they both like shot up in bed.
00:40:44
>> Ugh. >> And the bedsheets got ripped off their bed. >> No. >> Yeah. >> No. >> And it was I believe it was that
00:40:53
I think it was like the next night they were like, "We we got to get out of here." But like the next they were
00:40:57
trying to like just be like, "Okay, maybe this was what happened or this." >> Yeah, I love I mean, you do want to try
00:41:02
to explain things away in the moment. >> next night it really took a turn because
00:41:06
their children woke up screaming and they ran into the room they were in and they were huddled together, absolutely
00:41:12
terrified and yelling that a man was standing silently in the corner of their room staring at them.
00:41:17
>> [ __ ] a whole bunch of that. I'm insane. >> I'm so mad at you because I shaved my
00:41:22
legs this morning and now you've given me goosebumps eight times. God damn it. >> The family who was going to stay there a
00:41:28
year and rented it for a year lasted 11 weeks and then fled. >> 11 weeks? I give them I give them kudos
00:41:35
for that. >> They never returned. >> A man silently staring at the corner of your room.
00:41:40
>> And in 1897, um obviously Blackwood House had become famous and infamous, enough to attract
00:41:47
some paranormal investigators >> Yeah, duh. >> even for the time cuz spiritualism was
00:41:52
definitely booming. >> It was popping off. >> Um so the Society for Psychical Research
00:41:57
members and a bunch of other paranormal researchers and associates, um they wanted to do this like big mass
00:42:03
scale inquiry at the place. So they invited 35 people to come along with them. >> I wish that we had been invited.
00:42:10
>> Why weren't we invited? >> Pre-birth, invite me. >> No, apparently it was all sponsored by a
00:42:15
guy named Lord Bute. >> Yeah. Who was a famous paranormal investigator of the day.
00:42:20
>> Brought to you by Lord Bute. >> Lord Bute. >> This message is sponsored by Lord Bute.
00:42:25
>> And they were going to stay there for about 3 months, everybody. >> 3 months, okay.
00:42:30
>> there for 3 months and they were going to record absolutely everything they experienced while attempting to draw out
00:42:36
the spirits as well with Ouijas and other ways of communication. None were reportedly told about the
00:42:43
haunting ahead of time. Like they weren't told about like what they were going to experience.
00:42:47
>> to a haunted location. >> Yeah, we're just going somewhere, [ __ ] goes down, just record what you see.
00:42:52
Um they were just asked to document. That's it. Uh so of course they got knocks and footsteps, the banging on the
00:42:59
doors. They got sighs. A lot of them reported hearing sighs. Cuz >> They're sick of their [ __ ]
00:43:05
>> Yeah, that's the thing. They're all just sick of this [ __ ] They're like what else do we
00:43:07
have to do? >> Yeah, like we're slamming ourselves against doors every night. >> They One of a few of them documented
00:43:14
that they heard the sound of a priest praying out loud. Which I wonder if it was like mimicking the guy that stayed
00:43:20
there. One of one guy said he woke up and saw a disembodied hand at the foot of his bed
00:43:26
holding a crucifix. Which just saying that makes me shiver. I hate it. Cuz I'm just picturing this creepy ass
00:43:36
hand coming up holding a crucifix. >> All I can picture is Wednesday. >> I hate it.
00:43:41
>> What's the hand called? Is it just called hand? >> Thing. >> Thing. >> Just hand.
00:43:44
>> That's what I picture, Thing. >> Um one of them saw um who they described as a hunchback slowly ascending the main
00:43:51
staircase. Uh they they saw dogs everywhere. A lot of people saw dogs. A lot of people saw
00:43:57
black dogs, black spaniels. >> Um a lot of them would say they heard the sound of dogs' tails wagging and
00:44:04
hitting like floor like uh doors and door frames. Cuz you know that sound, like a wagging tail.
00:44:10
>> a like a thud almost. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a excited dog. >> Mhm. >> Uh one woman woke to hearing a
00:44:16
whimpering dog in her room. And so she immediately lit a candle cuz she was like, "What the fuck?" And she said when
00:44:22
she lit the candle, there was a clear, black dog standing with its paws on the dresser, just looking over at her and
00:44:31
whimpering. And I was like, I would have died. >> I would have been so sad. >> I would have been like, "What can I do
00:44:37
for you, pup?" >> And things got even weirder cuz again, they were doing like Ouija board
00:44:41
sessions. And during one of these like seances they were doing, investigators were told by the spirit to go to a
00:44:48
nearby glen. And so they were like, "Do we listen to it?" And I think some of them were like,
00:44:53
"I'm not going to go to the glen." "Let's [ __ ] go." >> You know that group was divided.
00:44:58
>> Oh, yeah. You know some of them are like, "I am staying in this haunted house. You go to that haunted house."
00:45:02
>> That's like a body of water, right? >> Yeah, like or like just like a like a valley almost.
00:45:07
>> Oh, okay. >> Like a um >> No water? >> Cuz I'm thinking like, "Oh, Danny Boy."
00:45:11
>> The pipes, the pipes >> are calling from glen to glen and down the mountainside. Sorry.
00:45:16
>> I used to work with a waitress who would sing that literally all the time. >> I'm looking it up. It's a narrow,
00:45:21
secluded valley, typically deep in the mountains. >> Okay. >> containing a stream.
00:45:26
>> Ah, see. I knew there was water. >> Uh but that's yeah. That's what I was picturing in my head was like a valley,
00:45:32
like a scoop. >> That's why he said your back hurt. >> I got to say. >> And it really is.
00:45:35
>> Goes hard. >> It really is. >> Poor Danny. >> Poor Danny Boy. Uh but yeah, they were
00:45:40
like, "Go to this nearby glen." And then you know, some of them were like, "Go [ __ ] yourself." And some of them were
00:45:44
like, "Off to the glen we go." >> The glen calls. >> So they followed it. And there,
00:45:48
according to reports, they saw immediately saw a full-body apparition of a nun. And this nun was just walking across the
00:45:57
glen. >> Vibes. >> She looked very distressed at times. She would be crying at times, like weeping.
00:46:03
And they wondered they tried to get her attention, but if they did she would like
00:46:07
disappear and then reappear somewhere else. >> What? >> And they wondered if it could possibly
00:46:12
be Isabella. >> Yeah. >> Maybe. So this was all weird. They ran back to the house and were like, "Fuck
00:46:17
that shit." The findings of this whole inquiry were later published in 1899 under this the title The Alleged
00:46:25
Haunting of B House. >> I feel like it's more than alleged. >> And someone later and it's like in I
00:46:30
forget where it is now. It's it is somewhere these papers. And someone later wrote Bleakinn in pencil on this
00:46:37
on the original report report which is really funny. >> it what it is." >> B House, it's Bleakinn House.
00:46:42
>> Yeah, I don't necessarily suspect the house. >> And that it remain I think it actually a
00:46:46
fire might have burned it mostly to the ground so we actually can't go. >> We can't go.
00:46:52
>> Now that I think about it. >> Can we go to the remains? >> We could go to the remains, I think.
00:46:56
>> I might bum me out. I know. >> I don't want to be around sad dogs. >> sad dogs.
00:47:02
>> Like I want to be around them if I can soothe them. >> Yeah. But otherwise, nay.
00:47:05
>> I want to help the sad dogs. >> Oh, what a sad story. >> I know. >> What a horrible haunting.
00:47:12
>> Bleakinn House. >> Bleakinn. That's fun to say. >> Wow, girl. >> Yeah. So there's that.
00:47:17
>> Blood and hounds. >> Blood and Bleakinn. Blood and Bleakinn. >> There it is. >> That's what we should name the episode,
00:47:24
Blood and Bleakinn. >> Blood and Bleakinn. >> Well, I need a fun fact after all of
00:47:29
that. >> I too need a fun fact. >> Sorry if I sounded weird. I grazed the microphone with my shoulder.
00:47:35
>> She actually punched it. With her full fist. >> You shouldn't tell them that. Let's talk
00:47:40
about farts. >> Let's talk about it. >> Sloths are very slow. They're also slow at digesting and that
00:47:47
is because they Wait, no, sorry. It's not because they're just slow. But because they digest food so slowly, they
00:47:54
have to breathe out their farts because they can't actually fart. So, you know that that Glow Up song
00:48:01
where she's like, "Did that is that your breath or did you just fart? Is that your heart did you Is that your heart
00:48:08
did you Is that your breath or did you just fart?" You know that song? You got I don't know where that was
00:48:16
going to end. My girl, what? Were you just listening to that or something? >> I would just like to mention that I
00:48:21
predicted that this was going to happen because I asked >> that fact? >> No. I Remember yesterday when I was
00:48:27
like, "Imagine if you farted out of your mouth instead of your Remember when I said that to you yesterday?"
00:48:33
>> You did. I didn't even think of that. >> I am a psychic everyone. >> Wow. Wow.
00:48:40
>> Yeah, sloths breathe out their farts. >> That's hilarious. >> So, that is their breath and they just
00:48:48
farted. >> Damn sloths. >> All right. Wow. >> Thanks for listening to this crazy ass
00:48:54
show. We hope you keep listening. >> hope you >> keep >> it >> but not so weird that you as a human
00:49:02
breathe out your farts because that would be disgusting. >> Yeah. >> Bye. >> Bye.
00:50:38
>> Mhm.
