00:00:00
Hey weirdos. I'm Ash. And I'm Elena. And this right here is Morbid. It's Listener Tales. Big B brought to
00:00:23
you by you, for you, from you and all about you, honey. And it's a little different this week or this month
00:00:28
because um this is just an audio version this month. I am terribly sorry. I know.
00:00:34
>> Um we had the blizzard of the century and it [ __ ] up some of our uh you know
00:00:39
technology. So >> not fun. >> We're a little bit uh just scrambling here to get some stuff done. So we
00:00:46
apologize. We'll be right back to our regularly scheduled uh video listener tales next month
00:00:52
>> in March. And we already have our costumes planned. They're also really good.
00:00:56
>> Yeah, they're sitting right next to me right now. >> Me, too. I'm pretty excited.
00:00:59
>> So, yeah. So, uh this will just be an audio version. So, yeah, this is going to be like old school listener tales for
00:01:06
one episode. >> And just like so everybody knows, we won't have Nicholas on during this one
00:01:10
because what we usually do is we put the Nicholas version on YouTube and then like the without Nicholas goes out on
00:01:16
just like regular audio and everywhere else. So, since you're just listening, we will not have Nicholas, much to
00:01:22
Arugrin and probably a lot of other people's. >> But for the people who don't like
00:01:27
Nicholas, this one goes out to you. >> This one goes out to >> And you're still valid.
00:01:31
>> It's true. We're We're trying to we'll please you all hopefully. >> Yeah. And one thing I just wanted to
00:01:37
point out was uh we were we were informed um by this person that come to our attention come to our attention that one
00:01:46
of our listener tales that we did about dreams um I think one of them may have used this person's actual dream as their
00:01:56
story unless they had the exact same situation which I don't know but either way this person's name is Sarah James
00:02:04
Middleton you can find her on Instagram. The person who's like dream that was possibly taken.
00:02:10
>> Yes, >> she's on Instagram for and her handle is under the Capricorn sun. So immediately
00:02:15
I was like gamey game. >> Um she shares all this really cool like lucid dreaming content but she shares it
00:02:23
because she lucid dreams a lot and I think she shares it as like kind of a catharsis and therapeutic way for her.
00:02:30
So, it felt pretty violating that somebody else kind of took her dream and pretended it was theirs. So, that's not
00:02:36
cool. Don't do that. >> Yeah, don't do that. >> Um, have your own dreams and if you're
00:02:40
sending us dreams, they should be yours. >> Yeah. >> Um, cuz obviously and she she was so
00:02:44
sweet about it. But, I wanted to make sure that she felt recognized about this and that she was acknowledged that that
00:02:50
was her dream. >> Um, and that you should follow her cuz she has like cool [ __ ] on her page.
00:02:55
>> Alina told me about this last week and I followed her. Some of her stories are
00:02:58
wild. really wild and she also does like amazing costumeuming and fashion and she's really cool follow. I really
00:03:07
highly suggest you find her. It's Sarah James under the Capricorn sun on Instagram. And again, her stuff is
00:03:12
really cool to follow. And we just want to acknowledge like don't don't take other people's like stuff and pretend
00:03:19
it's yours. >> Yeah, that's plagiarism. >> I thought we all knew that, but I I guess we do have to say something.
00:03:24
Sometimes you just need reminders, >> especially dreams. That that can feel very violating someone stealing like
00:03:30
your literal dream that your brain came up with. >> Eat like a couple pieces of dark
00:03:35
chocolate before bed and you're sure to have some weird dreams that you can write into us about
00:03:38
>> and then write into us cuz we want to hear them. Just don't take someone else's.
00:03:41
>> Fun experience. Chocolate dreams right in. >> There you go. >> Love you. But yeah, so it's listener
00:03:46
tales time and I just wanted to say something really quick of [ __ ] the US boys hockey team, the Olympic hockey
00:03:55
team. Uh you guys are [ __ ] >> But congratulations to the women. >> Congratulations to the women on though.
00:04:00
You [ __ ] killed it. >> Let's go girls. >> Babies go home. >> Um so the boys suck, but congrats to
00:04:09
Canada on silver. You deserve gold. Congrats on your silver medal to the men's US or men's US the men's Canada
00:04:18
Olympic hockey team. >> That part. >> Congrats on your silver. You earned it. >> Mhm.
00:04:23
>> You earned more. >> Anyway, >> so >> less about men. >> I just had to say that cuz it's really
00:04:28
been pissing me off. >> Yeah. >> Uh but yeah, let's get into some listener tales because we're going to be
00:04:32
talking about some UFOs. UFOs, if you will. >> Someos. You got probed. >> You've been probed. You got probed.
00:04:41
>> Remember when somebody did art of that? >> Oh, that art was awesome. >> That was good art. We should try to get
00:04:45
that on some merchy. >> We got to find that art again. >> We do have to find that art. It's on
00:04:48
art. >> Some computer somewhere. >> It is. Uh but yeah, and um I think I heard UFOs for the first time on last
00:04:56
podcast on the left. >> Yeah, that makes sense. >> Shout out for them. >> Um but yeah, this is going to be a fun
00:05:01
one. I I love talking about UFOs. I do. It's really fun. >> Obama was just talking about aliens
00:05:06
recently. In fact, >> he said that there are aliens. I mean, and he said that was the first thing he
00:05:10
wanted to know when he got to the White House. And I have to wonder how many like first day presidents are like,
00:05:15
"Okay, aliens go." >> Oh, hell yeah. Like, that would be my first thing. I'd be like,
00:05:19
>> "Yes, no. Okay, where are they? Show me. Can you show me? >> Show me to me, Rachel."
00:05:25
>> Truly. >> All right. Do you want to go first or would you like me to? >> Uh, I'll go first.
00:05:28
>> Oh my god. Okay, >> let's go first. This one's called Listener Tale by My Very Rational
00:05:33
Husband. >> Oh. Dear Elena and Ash, my wife Jill, she says to please use her name, Jill.
00:05:40
>> Hello, Jill. >> She listens to your podcast. Some might say obsessively. >> Iconic.
00:05:45
>> Love Jill. >> Let's go, Jill. >> She listens and relistenss to your podcast. So, to say she is a fan might
00:05:50
be an understatement. She has been asking me to write down an encounter I had several years ago. I had another
00:05:56
weird thing happen today. So, I thought now that I have two stories, I should take the time to write them down and
00:06:01
share them with you. Hell yeah, brother. to my experiences, both of which happened in the same neighborhood in
00:06:06
which we still live. In fact, both of these stories happen on the same street. >> We live in the Albuquerque metro area
00:06:14
and I will call this road Sai to protect my location and an anonymity. That's always really to say.
00:06:21
>> It's like a Nemo when she's like nim. Uh Sai Road is on the outside border of
00:06:27
the neighborhood and has a nice walking path. A little about me. I'm an early bird. Me, too. Now, are you this of an
00:06:34
early bird? >> I like to wake up every morning at 3:00 a.m. No, >> that's crazy. My brother.
00:06:40
>> My brother in Christ. >> You like to do that? >> You are an early bird. >> Doll, that's not morning.
00:06:47
>> That's the middle of the night. >> Doll, that's the night time. The sun is not up.
00:06:50
>> Well, you know what? Jill is correct. Jill forever because Jill says 3:00 a.m.
00:06:54
is the devil's hour. It is. But she sleeps safely through it. >> If I do see the devil, I'll send in
00:07:00
another story. Honestly, you're a real one. Thank you for that. >> Anyway, my sleeping schedule is 7 days a
00:07:06
week, 365 days a year. I'm very dedicated and it is very rare that I deviate from it. I'd like to tell you
00:07:12
that's very healthy. >> That's super healthy. >> That's really healthy. >> If you had an aura ring, maybe you do.
00:07:17
It's probably like, holy [ __ ] healthy. >> Good job. That's really good to go to
00:07:20
bed at the same time and wake up around the same time. That's like really good for you.
00:07:23
>> You're probably going to live a long time. >> So, during the warmer time of the year,
00:07:25
I walk our dogs around the neighborhood between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. in the morning. in the winter. We
00:07:32
>> You lost me there, partner. You lost me there. >> I literally said I read it the way it
00:07:38
was written. This is no shade to you. >> No, it's not. >> Uh but Oh, one of his biggest fan is So,
00:07:46
and it's honestly I think it's hilarious. >> I don't mean it. >> When somebody says like 700 p.m. at
00:07:51
night or like a.m. in the morning, it's nothing you did wrong. You didn't do anything.
00:07:56
>> I just saw her face go like And I had to point it out. >> Some of the closest people in my life
00:08:02
said that it's true. >> Now, in the winter, we walk a little later in the day. We walk six to seven
00:08:07
days a week. Damn, you are healthy. >> Waking up, walking. Hot girl walking. >> Married to Jill.
00:08:14
>> Married to me. Great decision. >> You're going to live forever, my friend. >> Listening to morbid. Let's go.
00:08:19
>> Our walk is a little over a mile. Like, Jesus. But it can take us 30 to 45 minutes to complete because the dogs do
00:08:25
enjoy sniffing around. I get that. We walk along a messa. Oh, I said it right without looking at the phonetic
00:08:31
spelling, everybody. >> Okay, Mensa. But thank you for that phonetic spelling. Uh, that has wide
00:08:36
open and rough spaces, flat, sandy, and dotted with scrubby sage brush. We don't
00:08:42
see many people or cars. And to be honest, I love that part of the day. I I also love really early morning.
00:08:47
>> I love that part of the early morning when there's nobody else awake. >> It feels like we have the whole world to
00:08:52
ourselves. I also don't wear AirPods or headphones or listen to music during my walk.
00:08:57
I usually only take my Apple Watch in case of emergencies, but I like to have this time to unplug since I work with
00:09:02
technology all day being it. That's really smart. >> While on my walks, I've had a few
00:09:07
run-ins with coyotes, owls, raccoons, lost dogs, and a few people that were drunk or on drugs and driving by and
00:09:13
harassing us. But overall, it is a peaceful and calm walk 99.99% of the time. >> I really want to have a runin with an
00:09:21
owl. I've only had two. I had one owl in my life and it changed me down to my very core.
00:09:26
>> Fundamentally changed you as a person. It was the coolest experience of my 29
00:09:31
years of life. >> We have an owl who is right outside of our bedroom window every night and you
00:09:36
don't see it. And I don't see him, but I look every night I'm always like, "Show
00:09:39
yourself. Show yourself." >> But I hear him and he's so spooky. >> And every time he starts, John's always
00:09:47
like, "Oh my god, that thing is scary." And I'm like, "He's beautiful." No, not scary at all.
00:09:51
>> And he's spooky as hell. Like it sounds spooky, >> but not scary. There's a difference.
00:09:56
>> Love him. >> I love owls so much. Like I just reached a point in my life where I just want to
00:10:02
be surrounded by owls. >> Yeah, same. I I feel connected to owls and weird. Owls and crows.
00:10:09
>> Crows, too. I get crows. Yeah. >> Yeah. I feel like we could just be vibing all over.
00:10:13
>> Let's just You and I should just become weird old bitties who are just like like
00:10:18
the lady like we could be like the pigeon lady from Home Alone 2 but with owls and crows.
00:10:23
>> Yeah. Hell yeah. >> Cuz at first when you just said we should be we become weird old bitties. I
00:10:27
was like become >> Well, we're not old yet. >> Become. >> So like when we're when we're old and
00:10:32
gray >> Hell yeah. >> Let's be weird then as well. I'm going to be >> and let's level it up a few.
00:10:36
>> I'm going to be calling the crows at all times. I'm already starting. I'm starting. girls.
00:10:40
>> Let's go. >> Um, so the first story happened at the end of the summer or early fall in 2019.
00:10:45
>> During this story, we had two dogs, Gidget. Oh my god, I love our border terrier and Baxter, our terrier mix. I
00:10:52
love this. We were walking down Sai Road, and as we approached the corner to turn back onto our neighborhood, I
00:10:58
started hearing a noise. It sounded like a generator. I knew this sound because it sounded like the large generators at
00:11:03
work that power our data center when the power goes out. At first, the sound was
00:11:08
faint, but within a few seconds, the volume increased. It was getting louder and louder. On Sai Road, we have the
00:11:14
neighborhood to the right of me, an elementary school with not too much around it on the left side of me. The
00:11:19
rest is mostly open Mesa. The generator noise was getting really loud, and both me and the dogs were trying to figure
00:11:24
out where this sound was coming from. I shown my flashlight around, but I didn't
00:11:28
see anything, and the dogs just stopped in their tracks. I didn't want to move. I wouldn't say I couldn't move, but I
00:11:34
just felt frozen. Like I could have moved, but I didn't. If that makes sense. It does.
00:11:39
>> It does. >> As I get ready to try to put my hands over my ears, because the noise is now
00:11:43
so loud, it just stops. I mean, it stops like you paused a song. >> No echo or reverberation or anything
00:11:50
like that. It went from uncomfortably loud to silence instantly. That honestly would [ __ ] me up.
00:11:57
>> I think that's what it's meant to do. >> Yeah. I looked up at the sky and saw a
00:12:00
small but very bright light hovering in the sky above us. >> No, thank you. >> I'm not sure how high it was, but it
00:12:06
seemed like it was very high in the sky. The light moved towards the Sandia Mountain Range to the east in less than
00:12:12
2 seconds. Based on my Google Maps estimate, the mountains are at least 20 miles away from me as the crow flies. As
00:12:20
the crow flies again, this light went from hovering over me and the dogs towards the mountain and out of view in
00:12:26
less than two seconds. the [ __ ] >> I am not sure our military or civilian airlines have anything that can go from
00:12:33
hovering to out of sight in less than 2 seconds. At this time, I worked at our city school district in it. And I later
00:12:40
verified that we didn't have any generators at the nearby elementary school, so I know that was not it. As
00:12:46
far as I could tell, there wasn't any construction going on around us. The skies were clear as the sun was starting
00:12:51
to break, and I could rule out clouds. Later, I searched for reports of the noise on different platforms and I could
00:12:57
not find anything. >> Oh, I hate that. >> The whole thing was so bizarre and I don't have a good explanation for what
00:13:01
it was. >> That probably drives you insane. >> That would make me crazy. I hadn't had
00:13:06
any issues since that day. Well, until today, April 20th, 2025. I was taking the daily walk with our dogs, Gidget,
00:13:14
Bernie, our poodle terrier cross, and Rosco, our sassy papon. Sadly, Baxter passed away at old age in 2021. I'm
00:13:21
sorry. P Baxter. >> This experience was on the corner of Sai Road, but this time when we first
00:13:27
entered Sai Road. This is a Saturday morning, and even fewer people are out than normal. I think I saw one car on
00:13:32
the road, but no people. Around 4:30 a.m., the dogs and I are on our usual route. Switch it up. I know you got to
00:13:39
switch it up. We are at the point where we turn onto Sai Road. Rosco stopped to sniff some bushes. While we were
00:13:44
stopped, I thought I heard a jogger's footsteps. We see joggers from time to time, so nothing unusual there. We
00:13:51
regularly see three or so folks jogging in the morning. I don't see them every morning, but maybe once or twice a week.
00:13:57
All the joggers are friendly and say good morning to me and the dogs when they go by. I didn't see any joggers,
00:14:02
but the dogs were looking around like they heard the steps, too, so I knew it wasn't my imagination. We're right next
00:14:07
to an intersection and is somewhat lit with street lamps. I did shine my flashlight around for good measure, but
00:14:13
didn't see anything. I thought maybe it was one of the dogs that made the noise somehow. Anyway, Rosco finishes his
00:14:19
investigation of the shrubs and we start walking again. A few seconds later, we hear the same jogger-like footsteps run
00:14:25
by us on my left side. >> The [ __ ] >> You can hear the Doppler effect of the footsteps. The dogs are also looking
00:14:32
around trying to find this mysterious jogger again. I shine my light and nothing. These steps sounded like they
00:14:38
were right next to us. It was really strange. Bernie usually hides behind me when we see a jogger, and he was hiding
00:14:44
behind me like a jogger ran by. I don't know what to make of these experiences, but I hope you enjoyed reading about
00:14:50
them. We included pictures of our dogs, as well as pictures of the nearby landscape. Feel free to use and share as
00:14:56
you like. Those dogs are so cute. >> Oh my god, I love them. >> I don't know what to make of this.
00:15:01
>> Um, and the landscape is pretty spooky. The first one, the landscape is hella
00:15:05
spooky. Uh, the first one was a UFO. >> Yeah, I agree. And the second one was the invisible man. Oh, there you go. We
00:15:12
got it. >> Oh, and Baxter, the bestest boy ever. Best boy. >> Oh, they're beautiful.
00:15:18
>> His little tongue. >> Oh my god. And Rosco is the diva. >> Oh my god. Stop. >> G looks pretty divaish, too.
00:15:26
>> Oh my god. I love them. >> Our neurotic but good girl. >> Oh yeah, the mesa is that's like a
00:15:32
spooky place to >> to be running by yourself. He thinks you don't go there anymore.
00:15:38
>> I'm a little spookied out by that. >> Ooh, a desert bloom. Ooh, that's pretty.
00:15:42
>> Pretty. >> We'll share these because they said we can. Thank you for saying that.
00:15:46
>> But spooky. >> Yeah, I think you definitely experienced a UFO in that first one.
00:15:51
>> Yep. >> And the second one is a ghost >> or the invisible man. >> The invisible man or woman, you know?
00:15:55
>> Yeah, the invisible person. >> The invisible jogger. >> Yeah, I like that one. Thank you for
00:16:00
that. And Jill, what about us you are? And >> thank you for listening. >> Good job picking a husband, man.
00:16:04
>> Hell yeah. All right, tail number two is called Abducted by Aliens. Uh, hold on,
00:16:10
there's more. Abducted by aliens as a toddler listener. >> What? >> Holy cow. >> Oh, they shouldn't be abducting
00:16:16
toddlers. >> No, that's [ __ ] up. >> I don't like that. I don't like it at all. If it's adults, I'm like, hell
00:16:20
yeah. >> Yeah, abduct adults if you're an alien. >> But I don't like that. >> Yeah, you're an alien. If you're an
00:16:25
alien, not not a human. >> Uh, so hi Ash and Elena. I've been using your podcast as a form of entertaining
00:16:31
on my door dashing adventures. >> Hell yeah. Honestly, happy to pay it forward because as a as a frequent flyer
00:16:37
of Door Dash, >> pay it forward. >> I'm glad that you can can listen. >> If I hear this being read on the pod, I
00:16:43
might implode. So, no. Proceed with caution. Okay. My name's Colin, and I'm an 18-year-old trans guy about to
00:16:50
graduate high school. >> Colin. >> Colin, I hope you did not just implode. >> I hope you're still with us. I might
00:16:55
join the Peace Corps or buy a bakery. I love both of those things. Whichever one
00:16:59
is most feasible. I love making cheesecake. But anyway, enough about me. I'm already obsessed.
00:17:05
>> I'm already team Colin. >> Team Colin. I want you to buy a bakery and give us more cheesecakes.
00:17:10
>> Yes, please. >> I don't even like cheesecake. >> I love cheesecakes. >> And I like bakeries.
00:17:15
>> So, I experienced an alien quote unquote abduction at the age of six. >> What?
00:17:20
>> I doubt you'd say I'm crazy or delusional, but if you do, I don't really mind.
00:17:24
>> You're not? >> Yeah. Yeah, we don't think so. I'm sharing this because I, having
00:17:27
personally witnessed it, can't find a reasonable explanation for these memories. It's quite anxietyinducing, as
00:17:33
you might be able to imagine. For some background, I'm an 18-year-old trans guy, and I was born in a town of about
00:17:39
150,000 to 200,000 people. This town is a historical river town in the Midwest. This town has an army base, though, I'm
00:17:46
not sure what exactly the operations there are. Okay, >> this is an important detail because of
00:17:52
the recent developments within the UAP whistleblower community being so closely linked to the US military. Area 51 is
00:17:59
the prime example. Ah, >> I've always thought to myself, surely I got the image of this creature from
00:18:03
somewhere I must have. I do in fact have reason to believe that's not entirely correct. Huh? We all know what the
00:18:10
typical alien looks like. a pale green and/or gray, ranging from minuscule to tall with lanky, brittle looking limbs,
00:18:17
bulbous black eyes that reflect light seemingly because they're void of it. Now, the type of aliens I was exposed to
00:18:23
in the media at the time, thank Dr. Cockroach from Monsters Versus Aliens, or the aliens from Mars Needs Moms.
00:18:30
>> Nothing like what I awoke to one night. Suddenly, I sat up in my bed. >> Colin, I'm nervous.
00:18:35
>> Colin, I'm really freaked out. The brightest lights that I had ever seen were to my left, blinding me, even
00:18:41
through my hot pink curtains. Damn. They were the color of a slightly darker electric blue combined with white. Oh, I
00:18:48
can actually visualize that. >> I remember the curtains being shut for a moment and then suddenly they were open
00:18:53
as if they'd never been closed in the first place. >> All I could do was slowly sit up and
00:18:57
blankly stare at what was towering above me. I've now come to estimate the creature had to have been 6 to 8 ft
00:19:03
tall. What? [ __ ] that. My bed was quite high off the ground already, so it's likely toward the higher end of that
00:19:10
scale. I simply stared. I felt strangely calm, yet also terrified. It's like my fight flight or I can never say that.
00:19:17
Fight or flight system malfunctioned, and I somehow found peace in it while being nearly physically paralyzed.
00:19:24
Freeze. >> Yes, >> I do that, too. I simply have no memories after that. The only true image
00:19:29
I'm left with is the pure curiosity and neutral attitude I could feel being towards me. Oh, it sends shivers down my
00:19:37
spine just thinking about it now. The absence of life in its eyes. The reflection of the bright fluorescent
00:19:42
pale blue light behind me. My young silhouette shadow propped directly in the middle of the illumination. Ooh,
00:19:49
great writing. >> I know. >> The best possible way I can describe the pigment of the eyes is the absence of
00:19:54
light, the void itself. Hence why I said they were devoid of light. The skin was
00:19:58
a light charcoal gray and was perfectly matte and incredibly smooth. The texture
00:20:03
was fully matte, but a slight sheen was also present. H Now, I've had severe mental health problems my whole life. I
00:20:10
have very few memories of my childhood, and somehow this remained. The only other one related to aliens and UAPs is
00:20:17
late night car rides and persistently tracking the largest, brightest, and most abnormal of glowing orbs in the
00:20:23
sky. I do remember a string of lights at some point that could just as easily have been a man-made craft, especially
00:20:29
since the lights were white yellow. I would presume it is actually what I struggle to understand is how light
00:20:35
could have been that bright while not producing any heat that I could feel. >> Why do I not remember it?
00:20:41
>> Is it because of childhood trauma? Is my childhood trauma this? So many questions
00:20:45
>> perhaps. >> Thank you for reading. Please feel free to share your thoughts. I can't really
00:20:49
accept what happened because it seems impossible. But perhaps our parameters are skewed. I love listening to you guys
00:20:55
so much. Thank you for making this lovely podcast. Feel free to DM me with any comments or questions. Keep it
00:21:00
weird, but definitely not so weird that you can't tell if you were abducted by extraterrestrials as a toddler or not.
00:21:05
Lots of love. Damn. I don't know, Colin. Here. I think you I think you saw what you saw.
00:21:12
>> Definitely. I feel like if you especially if you don't have a lot of memories from childhood, but that one
00:21:17
sticks out to you. >> Yeah, that's telling for sure. >> But I'm hoping you weren't abducted.
00:21:21
That's why I said I don't know because I really don't want for you to have been abducted as a six-year-old. I hope you
00:21:26
weren't abducted cuz I really want to hope that aliens are like chill and discerning enough that they're like
00:21:32
we're not going to abduct kids. >> Yeah. >> Like we're going to abduct adults and
00:21:37
see what's going on up there. >> Mhm. >> But we're going to let the kids chill. >> Yeah.
00:21:41
>> Like I just have that feeling about aliens that they're like they respect kids.
00:21:44
>> I like that. >> Um that's just my vibe. >> Yeah. >> Um my alien vibe. But >> sometimes I kind of feel like an alien
00:21:51
and I respect kids. Yeah. So >> I know I feel I felt like an alien my entire life and I' I I respect kids. So
00:21:58
>> I want to believe that it just came into your room like >> one great great curtain and two
00:22:05
>> maybe it was just like curious and was just like you said you could feel the curiosity almost like what's going on
00:22:11
there. Maybe he was just like >> I just got to see what this is about and then he was like wait this is like a
00:22:15
little one so he's a little human so I should leave. >> Yeah. >> That's what I'm hoping.
00:22:20
>> I like that theory. >> Yeah. And I think that means that you are special. >> I think so too.
00:22:25
>> Personally, >> I think they're like, "We could beam this one up, but maybe we should keep
00:22:29
them here." >> I think this one has more to do. >> And look at you. You do have to do
00:22:33
Peacecore Bakery. >> Yeah. >> Maybe you just name your bakery Peacecore. >> There you go.
00:22:38
>> Piece of cake. >> There you go. >> We'll work on it. >> Yeah, we'll work. >> You'll work on it.
00:22:42
>> We'll work You'll work. >> I already named one company. I can't be naming too many.
00:22:47
>> I can't be naming other ones. But Colin, thank you for that. And I think you I
00:22:50
think you saw what you saw personally. >> Thank you, Colin. And I hope you didn't
00:22:54
implode. >> I also hope you didn't implode. >> Hope you're still Door Dashing because
00:22:57
we need you out there in these streets. >> We do. We need you, Colin. Uh, so >> your job is essential. The
00:23:02
>> next listener tale is called Listener Tales: Alien Abduction, Diamond Guy, Mike, and Spoopy Ghost Pictures.
00:23:09
>> Hell yeah. >> Let's go. Hello, ladies. I admit I'm late to the morbid game, having just
00:23:14
started listening to you about five or six months ago. I love the podcast, the banter, the goods. I'm well on my way to
00:23:20
catching up. You're a badass. >> Let's go. >> I just finished the Ian Brady and Myra
00:23:24
Henley episodes. Never have I wanted to rekill some already dead people as bad as I did those two sons of [ __ ]
00:23:30
>> Do you know that I still wake up in the middle of the night and think about that
00:23:32
case? In fact, it happened to me literally a few nights ago. >> Yeah. Every once in a while, it'll pop
00:23:37
into my head and certain things will pop into my head about it and it will ruin me.
00:23:40
>> Me, too. So, I also have never wanted to rekill some already dead people as badly
00:23:46
as I wanted to kill. >> Let's team up and do it together. >> Yeah. Um, and remember, punch a Byra
00:23:50
Henley supporter in the face. Remember that whole >> Yeah, >> I do. >> Anyhow, I've been joding for to send you
00:23:56
guys my two stories and some spoopy ass zombie ghost lady pictures that I took about 20 years ago.
00:24:02
>> [ __ ] yeah. >> So, here we go. I'm going to type up both the stories and hope you read them
00:24:06
both because they are absolutely [ __ ] bonkers and I still get chills when I talk about them.
00:24:10
>> Here we are. First up, I'm 99.999999999999999999999999% certain that I've been abducted by
00:24:17
aliens. >> I'm pretty sure about that, too. >> I am too. That or my ass did some
00:24:21
spontaneous teleportation [ __ ] Both pretty cool. >> Both of which are hard to believe, but
00:24:26
the one logical explanation for what happened turns out to be not that logical at all. So, here goes.
00:24:32
>> Newcastle, Wyoming, 1996. About the time Ash was born, I think. In fact, my friend Shannon, her little brother,
00:24:39
little sister, and myself decided to do a camp out under the stars. >> That's beautiful.
00:24:43
>> And in the '9s, we did that [ __ ] >> Shut up about all your good '9s times. >> We had our sleeping bags all lined up.
00:24:50
It was little brother, little sister Shannon, and then myself. We were laying on the top of a hill that boarded the
00:24:55
north end of the town we had grown up in. This hill was a strange long and narrow hill that basically served as a
00:25:01
stopping point for the town. There were no houses on this hill and beyond it was
00:25:05
just barbed wire fences and then black hills forest. >> Well, the four of us were laying in our
00:25:10
sleeping bags looking up at the stars. We were making stupid jokes about how we couldn't find the quote little dicker.
00:25:16
Yes, the little dicker because when you're 13, stuff like that is funny as [ __ ]
00:25:20
>> Still is. >> The last thing I remember talking about was the Little Dipper before we all went
00:25:25
quiet and started to doze off. It was a beautiful night. The stars were bright. There was no wind, which is unheard of
00:25:31
for Wyoming. And the temperature was perfect for camping under the stars. And then I woke up, but I didn't wake up
00:25:37
where I had fallen asleep. I had woken up near a mile north of where we had fallen asleep. No, I hate that for you.
00:25:44
>> Standing facing due north, directly away from town in a small clearing in the
00:25:49
middle of the forest. >> [ __ ] what? [ __ ] that. That's the beginning of a really good horror movie.
00:25:57
>> Yep. Now, first things first. Everyone in their grandma is going to say, "That
00:26:00
[ __ ] be sleepwalking." >> Well, let me tell you why I wasn't sleepwalking. First, I've never
00:26:06
sleptwalk prior to the incident. Nor have I done it since. I'm 40 now. >> Look at you. A couple 40-year-olds.
00:26:12
>> Also, where I had not woken up, there was a lot of harsh sage brush, pine needles, and not one but two barbed wire
00:26:19
fences for me to get back to where we had fallen asleep. >> What? Yeah. You wouldn't have been able
00:26:24
to sleepwalk that far. >> No. And you'd have some injuries if you did. Now, the composure that my
00:26:28
13-year-old self had in that moment was phenomenal. I told myself, "Hey, it's okay. You were just sleepwalking. I
00:26:34
turned around and could easily see the lights of town. My feet were fine. My clothes were fine. Nothing seemed out of
00:26:40
place except my ass that was a mile from where I had fallen asleep. Lo and behold, I start walking back in the
00:26:45
direction of town, and I have a number of terrains I have to walk over. First, the dried grass and sage brush, then an
00:26:51
area of thick pine trees, pine cones, and a carpet of dead pine needles." Ouch. Now, I'm not sure if you've ever
00:26:56
stepped on a pine needle, but those [ __ ] hurt. Yeah, they do. >> Yeah. >> Could I sleep through that? Maybe. But
00:27:03
let's get to the barbed wire fence number one. This sucker was nearly brand new. The wires were tight, and my awake
00:27:10
and conscious self struggled to slither my fat booty through the wires. That [ __ ] is hard enough to do in the daytime
00:27:16
without getting your clothes caught on it, let alone at 3:00 in the morning. I'm assuming that's what time it was
00:27:20
because this is some weird [ __ ] and there was no cell phones back then. >> Hey, Joel's husband was awake. That's
00:27:25
right. Jill's husband was taking a walk. So, the first barbed wire fence I finally crawled through, but I snagged
00:27:31
the back of my shirt on it and tore a little hole in it. The second barbwire fence that I came to after walking over
00:27:36
several hundred more feet of pine needles and shale rock was less impressive, and in the pale moonlight, I
00:27:42
was able to find a spot where the top wire was down, so I crawled over the top of it.
00:27:45
>> Nice. >> I had to walk for a while before I find my friends. All three of them were sound
00:27:50
asleep in their sleeping bags. I crawl into my sleeping bag as if nothing ever happened, but my feet were achy and cut
00:27:55
up from the walk back. I had snags in my clothes and scratches on my hands. By morning, I had convinced myself yet
00:28:02
again that it was just a bizarre and isolated incident of sleepwalking. The older I got, however, the more that
00:28:08
never made sense. There's no way in a million years you could convince me that I walked my ass a mile from where we
00:28:14
were sleeping over sharp pine needles, through two barbed wire fences, and a whole lot of other obstacles without
00:28:19
being woken up. I've never been a heavy sleeper and reiterate that I've never been a sleepwalker. Not before, not
00:28:26
since. >> Yeah, that's weird. I had never in many years considered the idea of being
00:28:29
abducted by aliens until I told this story to a friend. And without missing a beat, he simply said, "You were
00:28:34
abducted." To this day, I believe it. There's just no way I could have made it that far from our little camp without
00:28:40
something stirring me awake. You know, like getting my ass tangled in a barbed wire fence. And mind you, this is
00:28:46
Wyoming. Those fences stretch on for miles and miles in both directions. Damn. Anyways, I don't think I was
00:28:51
probed. I was 13. But something really [ __ ] weird happened that night, and that's the best explanation I can come
00:28:57
up with because sleepwalking just isn't fathomable. I didn't tell Shannon or her
00:29:01
siblings about the experience. I was honestly too embarrassed. But the older I got and the more I was compelled to
00:29:06
tell the story, it's interesting how a lot of people have had similar experiences, all of which are completely
00:29:12
unexplainable. >> It's true. >> That's my first story. Keep it weird. Q Ash. Uh, but not so weird that you wake
00:29:19
up in the middle of nowhere all the way away from your friends and you're like you have no damage from crawling under
00:29:25
barbed wire fences. Yeah. And what you said, but not so weird that you go on a camp out on a hill north of town where
00:29:31
nothing extraordinary ever happens and you sit in your sleeping bag talking about the little dickers and wake up to
00:29:35
find yourself in a clearing a mile from where you fell asleep and have to turn into bare [ __ ] gorillas to find
00:29:40
your way back in the dark after being abducted by aliens. Do not do that. >> That weird. I would have read yours if I
00:29:45
saw it. I didn't see it. >> It's okay. We need an Ash one. Now, my second story. You got abducted by
00:29:50
aliens, by the way. You got abducted by aliens. >> There's no way you wouldn't have had
00:29:53
like evidence of of being ripped up by the fences and like your feet hurting. >> I'm a sleepwalker.
00:29:59
>> Yeah, I'm a sleepwalker. I haven't done it. I haven't done it in a while, but
00:30:03
now I have children who are who are sleepwalkers. >> Um or at least one child who is a
00:30:08
sleepwalker >> and you it just doesn't work that way. I think people have this like weird
00:30:14
misconception about what sleepwalking actually is. Yeah. You're not trekking a mile down the road. It's just not
00:30:19
happening. You're doing some weird [ __ ] >> You might I've heard of people walking
00:30:23
out their front door and like moving some some like distance >> a mile through like terrain shitty
00:30:31
terrain. >> It's just not happening. Usually you're just come you're walking downstairs and
00:30:35
saying some weird [ __ ] to your parents or something. >> Yeah. Drew slept before a few times and
00:30:40
one time he just left peanut butter in the top rack of the dishwasher. >> That's hilarious.
00:30:44
>> And I was like, "What the [ __ ] is he doing here?" And he was like, "I actually have no idea."
00:30:47
>> My oldest sleepwalks and she they they come down at night a lot and like just
00:30:53
because they're trying to push >> bedtime. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. Can you lay with
00:30:57
>> She looked at me a weird way. >> Yeah. So, but when they come down, they always do this thing cuz like the
00:31:02
kitchen is off of the living room and they'll just kind of like peek around the corner and we can always hear their
00:31:06
little feet. Yeah. So we always brace mute the TV and just wait for them to come around
00:31:10
>> and then they'll just like kind of slowly walk over to us to tell like tell us from the middle of the kitchen.
00:31:16
>> But when she's sleepwalking I hear it. >> I love like just what she does >> cuz she just comes barreling down the
00:31:25
hallway and we can hear and usually like that isn't the give right away cuz sometimes they'll like pitter patter
00:31:31
down the hallway. It's that she comes barreling around the corner and walks full speed directly at us just staring
00:31:38
at us. >> It's like a freight train coming at us and we're just like, "Oh god." And then
00:31:43
she just sits down. >> And then she just sits down in front of us and we'll stare at us and we're like,
00:31:47
>> "Hi, >> hi love. What's going on?" And then she'll snap out of it at some point or
00:31:52
we'll just have to bring her back upstairs while she's still sleeping. >> So scary.
00:31:56
>> But I can always tell when she comes barreling around the corner, we're like,
00:31:59
"Oh, she's she just comes at you. There she comes. >> Does she have She has like a different
00:32:02
look in her eyes. >> She does. It's a It's a I'm asleep. >> Like it's just I'm not really looking at
00:32:08
you. I'm looking through you kind of look. >> It's so creepy and I hate it. >> Yeah, it's wild.
00:32:12
>> Knock on wood. Never done that at my house. I don't know what I would do. She
00:32:16
doesn't do it often. It's a every once in a while. >> Once in a blue moon. >> But it's funny what she does.
00:32:20
>> I think it would freak me out. I really hope my children someday don't sleepwalk. That's honestly all it is.
00:32:25
All that's important is you just talk to them softly and then you just get them to get up and you just walk them back
00:32:32
upstairs and into their bed and you tuck them in and you say good night. There's
00:32:35
so much [ __ ] that comes with having kids that you just don't like. Luckily I think of because of your kids prepared
00:32:40
>> and then I go home and I'm like Drew when we have kids someday we might have to deal with like ABC and D and he's
00:32:45
like yeah that's [ __ ] up. >> Yeah, that's you know >> you know what we'll do it then.
00:32:49
>> It is what it is. So yeah you got abducted. Uh you did not walk that far >> for sure. Uh, now my second story is
00:32:56
another long one and a doozy, but I'm not going to apologize for it being long because you've said time and time again
00:33:01
not to do that. >> Don't do it. >> Good call. So, here goes. Same town, Newcastle, Wyoming, 2001.
00:33:08
>> 2001. >> One. My best friend Aaron and I, you can use all names. Nobody cares. We were
00:33:13
just hanging out when our friends Ryan and Billy pulled up with some guy we don't know named Mike.
00:33:17
>> They say, "Hey girls, want to go check out some haunted places?" Oh man, this
00:33:21
would have got me. >> We're 17. Yeah. Who's Mike? We're 17 and 18 at the time. This is a small royal
00:33:28
town. You're damn right. We want to go to some haunted places. >> Also, let me aster 17 18. I wouldn't
00:33:32
give a [ __ ] who Mike was. >> No, I'd be like, let's be, >> like, hi, I'm Ash. Nice to meet you.
00:33:35
Let's Let's go >> haunted paranormal haunting. Let's go. >> Um, I want to go ghost hunting again so
00:33:41
bad. >> Desperately. >> This is getting me in the mood. >> Desperately. >> So badly.
00:33:47
>> Well, this dude Mike was the driver. He was one of those people who kind of gave
00:33:51
you weird vibes, but since Billy and Ryan were there, it was all cool because they're our good friends, and so we're
00:33:56
not worried about old Mikey boy. We start driving around the same rumored haunted houses and checking them out
00:34:01
from the road. Of course, we're all psyched up and spooking ourselves out about these places and chatting about
00:34:06
various things that quote might have happened in them. Then out of nowhere, this guy Mike says, "Hey, do you guys
00:34:12
want to go check out the meat packing plant?" >> No. >> I'd be like, "No, Leatherface. I don't
00:34:16
I'm all set. Why does your family live there? Excuse me, what? I had grown up in this town and had never heard of an
00:34:23
old meat packing plant. Well, hell yes. We want to go to the meat packing plant.
00:34:29
You're like, I haven't seen Tech this Chainsaw Massacre yet. So, we load up into Mike's Jeep Cherokee and head down
00:34:34
these back roads. We're traveling along this gravel road when down from a telephone pole, this owl sweeps right in
00:34:40
front of us and back up onto its perch. >> Why is that becoming a sub theme, right?
00:34:44
Okay, that was a little weird, but whatever. We almost said don't go to the meat packing plant.
00:34:48
>> It's always the thing where it says how many owls is weird. >> One. >> One is weird. When you see one owl, you
00:34:55
say what? I'm telling you, one owl changed the trajectory of my entire life. >> Already something's arrive.
00:35:04
>> Yeah. >> We arrive at the meatacking plant and I tell you, this place was spooky spooky.
00:35:10
There were two buildings. The creepy building and the really [ __ ] creepy building. The doors of the creepy
00:35:16
building had essentially been removed. Just looking at this place from the road had the worst of the worst chills
00:35:22
tickling down my spine. >> Oh, I would want to go. >> Mike says, "Who wants to go in?" Me,
00:35:26
Ryan. No [ __ ] way, Billy. Over my dead body. Me. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Aaron. I do.
00:35:33
>> Tag yourself. Let's >> me. [ __ ] There was no way in a 100red million years that I was going to
00:35:39
let my best friend go into this creepy ass place with this [ __ ] weirdo by herself. That is girl [ __ ]
00:35:44
>> That's girlhood. >> That is girl. You're a girl's girl. You're a good friend.
00:35:50
>> Good job. >> Uh, so no, she was not letting that happen. So I begrudgingly get out of the
00:35:55
jeep and follow the two into the creepy building. Thank heck it wasn't the really [ __ ] creepy building. I step
00:36:01
inside the door and the overwhelming sense of dread I got from this place was paralyzing. I only allowed myself to
00:36:07
stand just inside the threshold as Aaron and Mike disappear into the darkness. As
00:36:12
I'm standing there just listening to Aaron and making sure Mike isn't murdering her, I look to my left along
00:36:17
this wall where there was a massive incinerator. As I'm looking at this thing, I see movement at the base of it.
00:36:23
Y'all, I have a pretty sound mind in my skull, but I [ __ ] you not, there was a
00:36:28
puddle of blood growing out from under this incinerator towards my feet. >> What? As I watched this puddle grow even
00:36:34
closer to my feet, I found it hard to move away until something in my brain just snapped in me back to life and
00:36:40
said, "Not today, diamonds. >> Not today." I calmly stepped out of the building and back into the road. Billy
00:36:46
got out of the Jeep and he walked to up to me and said, "Are you okay? You don't
00:36:50
look so good." Well, it turns out all the color had drained from my face and I looked like I could give Snow White a
00:36:54
run for her money with that ivory ass complexion. I shook my head no. And Billy simply says, "You guys have no
00:37:00
idea what kind of dark [ __ ] you can open yourself up to by going to a place like
00:37:04
that." >> Like, maybe you should say that before we go in, Billy. >> I didn't respond. I simply stood there
00:37:08
and waited for Mike to return with Eron. Thankfully, they both came out of the building alive. I didn't have to put the
00:37:13
smackdown on Mike. >> Now, I know what you're thinking. That's the end. It's over. Well, jokes's on you
00:37:19
[ __ ] It's not over yet. >> So, we jump in the Jeep and Mike drives off. The next thing we know, he takes a
00:37:25
single left turn and we find ourselves lost in a corn field. What? Okay, that's not so weird. People get lost in corn
00:37:32
fields all the time, do they? Not in Newcastle, Wy Wyoming. They don't. We don't grow corn in Newcastle, Wyoming.
00:37:40
There's about an inch of sandy top soil and then it's solid rock underneath it. This land is good for grazing cattle
00:37:45
only. It's not good for growing anything. >> I didn't know that. >> So, we drive for what feels like an
00:37:50
eternity in one direction. Never leaving the cornfield. >> Ew. You were in a back room cornfield.
00:37:56
>> You were. You were in the liinal cornfield. Strange, baby. We drive for an eternity in another direction. Never
00:38:03
leave the cornfield. >> That's back room corn [ __ ] >> Then we keep driving in another
00:38:06
direction and bam, we're out of the cornfield. But guess where we're at? That's right. Right back at the front
00:38:12
doors of the [ __ ] meat packing plant. >> No. >> Oh no. No. >> No. >> No. >> Nope.
00:38:17
>> No. >> Now all five of us are a little weirded out at this point. >> A little. I'm in the back seat hiding my
00:38:23
eyes. If I can't see it, it doesn't exist. Just kidding. It totally existed. And that was the weirdest [ __ ] ever. E.
00:38:29
>> I'm suddenly convinced that we're trapped in a death labyrinth while the others are just joking about how weird
00:38:34
that was. Thankfully, Mike drives out the direction he came in. And I'll be damned if that owl didn't swoop down
00:38:39
from the telephone pole in front of us. Nearly hit the jeep and back up to its perch.
00:38:44
>> Seeing an owl twice. >> See, that's it right there. >> I feel to live my dream. Erin and I were
00:38:50
returned safely home that night, but the events of that night were deeply ingrained in my memory. I've told that
00:38:55
story to other lifelong residents of our small hometown, and many of them have the same reaction. Meat packing plant,
00:39:01
question mark, corn fields, question mark. We don't grow corn in Newcastle. >> I just want to start saying that to
00:39:08
people. We don't grow corn in Newcastle. >> Anytime somebody says something remotely
00:39:12
weird or like whatever, >> we don't grow corn in Newcast Newcastle. Get out of here. Moral of the story, I
00:39:18
think Mike was a sinister being who brought darkness with him because I love that. That's the moral. It's
00:39:26
Mike's fault. Mike's [ __ ] weird. Moral of the story, I think Mike was a sinister being who brought darkness with
00:39:32
him because that's just the vibe he gave out. And nothing that weird has ever happened to me since. Hey, if you're not
00:39:37
with Mike, evidence proves. >> Yeah, >> I rest my case. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell that story, but I
00:39:43
know you girls will appreciate its utter weirdness. And I [ __ ] believe you. Please continue to keep it as weird as
00:39:49
you do, but not so weird that you go haunted house hunting with creepy guy Mike. Do not keep it that weird. Bye.
00:39:55
>> We won't. >> And then PICTURES OF HORSES. >> HOLY [ __ ] Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my
00:40:03
god. I [ __ ] hate it. >> Oh, that was like that literally first of all, I have chills all over my that
00:40:10
was my genuine raw real reaction. Um, I forgot that you told us that you put creepy photos in.
00:40:16
>> I also forgot that >> we're going to post these. >> I'm so That was a real legit jump scare.
00:40:22
>> That was like when the It's the one that you see when your friend's like, "Oh my
00:40:25
god, check out this funny video." And it's at the end, oh my god. >> No, you just made me feel alive.
00:40:34
>> So, thank you for that. That was like a genuine I have not been that legitimately frightened.
00:40:40
>> I screamed. Did you hear me? I think we both did. I think we both squealled a
00:40:43
little bit. >> E, I want to look again, but I can't. I don't think. >> That was upsetting. What is that? Uh, I
00:40:49
need to go back up to the the >> Cuz at first I thought it was funny because I was like, "Oh my god, look,
00:40:53
the horse is touching the other horse's butt." >> Yeah. >> And then I kept scrolling cuz I thought
00:40:57
it would get funnier. It It got scary. >> I'm so stressed. >> It got scary. >> So stressed.
00:41:02
>> It got really [ __ ] scary. I scrolled up once more, but I can't anymore cuz >> Oh my god. I just saw it again.
00:41:06
>> You can only do it. That's the last time. I'm very I I don't H I'm going to need you to tell us more about where
00:41:13
those photos came from. >> Tell me about that. >> Uh I >> I'm looking to see where what you said
00:41:19
the uh what you said that was. >> I think they said just like creepy ghost pictures in a in a field.
00:41:26
>> Yeah. >> With no corn. >> Like who is that? Please tell us more about that person.
00:41:30
>> It's cursed. >> Um because I'm really upset by that. >> I'm holding my own self right now.
00:41:36
>> Oh my god. I'm like really It's so stressful, guys. I don't like it. And she just pops up out of nowhere. She's
00:41:41
not in like the first three. >> Nope. >> But she's definitely in the last two. >> Oh, and she looks all like she looks
00:41:47
like a zombie. She really does. >> I really hate it. I actually don't want to spend any more time talking about it.
00:41:52
>> Yeah, I don't either. We're going to post it, though. >> Okay. And it's not that I don't
00:41:56
appreciate that you sent the photos. I'm just really terrified and feeling really
00:41:59
vulnerable. >> No, you're honestly, like I said, you made me feel alive. So, thank you. That
00:42:04
was a hilarious reaction. Um, I really appreciate that and I'll forever be thankful for giving me a legitimate I
00:42:09
haven't had a legitimate frightening moment in a while. So, thank you. >> We're just down and now I feel like my
00:42:15
feet need to be up. >> That was a lot. >> Ew. I'm going to go in my hood. Bye. >> Wow. Thanks for that.
00:42:20
>> Ew, you freaked me out. >> That was great. >> Okay, so next listener tale. I'm scared.
00:42:26
>> Don't worry, we'll post them. I promise. So, you won't be you won't be outside of
00:42:30
what we just saw. You can all have that moment. >> You'll be with us. >> You can all feel alive. Oh. Oh, I just
00:42:35
scrolled up to her again. It >> seems like really scary. >> Oh, I hate it. Okay. Oh, [ __ ] She
00:42:40
scared me a lot. >> Okay, listen tails. No probing here. No probing here. >> Buenos Diaz, weirdos.

00:43:13
>> Oh my god, you guys are giving me gifts. >> You really are. >> I really appreciate you for this.
00:43:17
>> Yeah, thank you guys a lot. So, my family's pretty strong believers in the paranormal and aliens and such. So,
00:43:22
we're pretty open to all ideas and theories about the universe. >> You sound awesome, all of you.
00:43:26
>> You do. Plus, I come from a long line of Bruhas. >> Oh, hell yeah. >> I literally just told the girls about
00:43:30
Bruhas. Hell yeah. Um, my Google Home was giving them nicknames and it called them bruhaha. And I said, "You're a
00:43:36
witch. >> You're a witch." >> I said, "That's bruhas. >> I love bruhas." >> So, and we believe our ancestors were
00:43:41
very connected to the other realms. I'm telling you all this to kind of set up the kind of people we are for the story
00:43:46

00:44:01

00:44:05
>> Well, I have a whole plethora of real life ghost stories, including the man who watches me sleep, the child ghost
00:44:11
who haunted me and my roommate, and the haunted doll that currently lives with me. Shout out to my girl Kim.
00:44:16
>> What the [ __ ] >> Tell us everything you can. >> Tell us all. >> Write in all of your stories and tell us
00:44:21
all. >> Damn. I think I'm going to start out with a good oldfashioned alien encounter
00:44:26
and nar narrow escape from Probin. from probing. >> If nothing else, I hope you get a good
00:44:30
laugh out of it. So, buckle up and hold on to your potatoes because where you know we're Irish, huh?
00:44:36
Exactly. Because we're about to break some traffic laws with this one. Let's go. I love potatoes. When I was in high
00:44:43
school, I went to an all girls Catholic school. This particular day started out pretty normal. My dad woke me up. I put
00:44:49
on a scratchy ass uniform skirt and sweater and we headed out. At the time, I still wasn't old enough to drive. My
00:44:55
dad was my chauffeur extraordinaire. This was around 7:15 in the morning, so neither of us would be fully awake until
00:45:00
we got some Starbies. That's what we call Starbucks. And by we, I mean literally no one else but my ridiculous
00:45:06
ass. Even so, neither of us thought we would be [ __ ] bricks in full panic mode 20 minutes later.
00:45:12
>> No one does. >> You never You can't. Exactly. You can't just like go about your day expecting to
00:45:16
[ __ ] bricks. >> No, >> it'd be tough. I also want to preface this story by saying this is the same
00:45:21
direction we drive in every single day. Fun fact, Kentucky has some pretty [ __ ] weather most of the time. One
00:45:28
second it'll be snowing in April. Two hours later we'll be under tornado warning. It's real fun. Anyway, the day
00:45:34
in question it was spring which meant that it was humid enough to it was you're hilarious. It was humid
00:45:41
enough to rat up my Puerto Rican hair and make it grow to the size of Doug Dig Doug Dimmodone, owner of the Doug I
00:45:48
can't say it. Hold on. Make it grow to the size of Doug Dimmodone, owner of the Dimsdale Dimidones hat. That's a high
00:45:54
hat. I love it. Aside from my hair looking frightening AF, it was also foggy as hell. You could barely see a couple feet
00:46:02
in front of you, especially since the sun wasn't up yet. This will be important to remember later. As we make
00:46:07
our way up the ramp to merge onto the expressway, that's when we saw them. Up in the sky, hovering overhead were
00:46:14
multiple circular aircrafts made out of rings of light. Whoa. Each one looked like six or seven orb round orbs
00:46:21
floating in the shape of a circle. And it wasn't just one. It was a whole [ __ ] fleet. What? Uh, Dad, what? Dad,
00:46:30
what am I looking at? That's when he saw them, too. And they were getting closer.
00:46:35
We both knew this was the moment HG Walls warned us all about. This was clearly an alien invasion. And we were
00:46:41
about to get [ __ ] probed. >> About to get probed. >> What the [ __ ] Dad? What's happening?
00:46:46
What are those? I don't know. I don't know. When your dad IS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
00:46:50
>> When your dad's panicking, you're in a panic. >> At that point, we were obviously both of
00:46:54
us were obviously [ __ ] panicking. Arms flailing, tears streaming between bickering and [ __ ] bricks. My dad
00:47:00
slams on the brakes and puts the car into reverse to nope the [ __ ] out of there and escape the obvious alien
00:47:07
invasion we were in the direct center of. Honestly, no probing today. Not our butthole, ET.
00:47:15
I love that he's also reversing the expressway. >> Just not happening. >> It was a good thing there were another
00:47:21
no other cars on the road. Otherwise, it probably would have been a bad idea. >> But we were determined to to dip us out
00:47:27
of there and outrun the space invaders. But holes clenched. Ain't no predator looking ass [ __ ] about to dissect our
00:47:34
human corpses for inter intergalactic science. Nope. Get your specimen somewhere else, guys. Hell yeah. Then
00:47:40
suddenly, my dad pulled over and stopped. Oh no. His face was blank, but a smile soon crept to the corners of his
00:47:47
mouth. >> What? >> That's when we both realized what had just happened. The fog was so thick, it
00:47:54
covered the entire high mass poles holding up. >> Oh my god, >> you guessed it, street lights.
00:47:59
>> Those were street lights. >> The spaceships that we were literally fleeing our fleeing for our lives from
00:48:05
were actually just [ __ ] street lights. >> I'm obsessed. Once we fully gathered our
00:48:11
thoughts, the two of us bursted out laughing. A grown ass man and his dumb [ __ ] daughter literally yeated
00:48:16
themselves off the highway thinking street lights and War of the Worlds were one and the same. Meanwhile, I was late
00:48:22
for class for obvious reasons, but I was not about to explain the [ __ ] my father and I just pulled. So, I chocked
00:48:27
it up to I overslept. >> Oh my god. >> We still laugh about it today. And I like to think of it as a lovely bonding
00:48:33
experience. At least we know where we stand in an alien invasion survival scale.
00:48:38
>> You're both getting the [ __ ] out of there. >> Yeah, you're you're killing it. Anyways,
00:48:41
keep it weird, but not so weird that you and your dad put it into turbo mode on the highway, but holes sealed shut
00:48:46
because you dumb [ __ ] don't know the difference between street lights and the goddamn mothership. So then you end up
00:48:49
late to school because of your anti-robing detour. Make good choices. E, I love that. Oh my god. And they
00:48:57
attached uh the street lights if they >> They do look I would have fell for that.
00:49:03
>> Yeah, I absolutely would have >> cuz those are high. >> They're really high. And the and the
00:49:06
like actual pole itself was blocked out. Oh yeah. Yeah. I absolutely would have [ __ ]
00:49:12
myself. >> That's the funniest [ __ ] I've ever >> I'm obsessed with the fact that you both
00:49:15
reacted the same. Like that is some fatherdaughter bonding [ __ ] right there. >> It really is
00:49:21
>> for sure. >> It really is. >> Oh my god. All right, we're going to do one more and it's called That Time a UFO
00:49:29
Came to My Mom's House. >> I'm in me mom's car. >> Me mom? >> I'm in me mom's UFO. Hey weirdos, I've
00:49:34
typed this out in a double space size 12 font pifa for your viewing pleasure. Feel free to use my name. Oh, how do you
00:49:42
say this? Oh, you told me. >> Scythe. >> Scythe. >> Oh, that was so like >> that was full of unwe.
00:49:50
>> Oh, I like that. >> That's a really pretty name. >> That's a really cool name.
00:49:52
>> Sorry, it spent us like we took like 38 minutes to decide what your name was.
00:49:56
>> As soon as I saw this name, I said that's Irish. >> That's gone. >> That's an Irish person. Does everybody
00:50:01
in the world remember the first time they saw the name Siobhan? >> Yes. >> Siobhan and Sorca.
00:50:06
>> Oh >> yeah. Like Sorcera Ronin. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Uh Siobhan will send you into outer
00:50:12
space. >> I had a friend when I was working at the salon. She had her friend coming in and
00:50:15
she was on the schedule and I was like what is your friend's name? >> She's like is who is Seoba?
00:50:20
>> L I was like Siobhan. >> She was like it's Siobhan. >> I was like in what world?
00:50:27
>> Meanwhile I'm literally Irish world. in in the actual world in this world. >> Like, don't be dumb.
00:50:35
>> She's like, "Aren't you Irish?" I was like, "Yeah." Like, "Yeah, I guess." Uh,
00:50:39
so feel free to use my name, Syive. Uh, I hail from the beautiful northwest of Ireland where the coastline is endless.
00:50:45
There you go. Look at us having all the information in the just looking elsewhere for it.
00:50:50
>> We're just like, "What? The little villages are quaint and adorable and we have some of the best beaches in the
00:50:55
world. Yes, you should really visit. I want to [ __ ] bucket list >> and a rich heritage that is soaked in so
00:51:01
many spooky legends. >> Yeah, it is. >> Before I get into my story, I just want to say that I am without a doubt, hands
00:51:06
down, fudging addicted to your podcast. My twins literally react to your voices now because you are what keeps me going
00:51:13
through a day of preparing meals that will most likely get yeated onto the ground or on my face. But it's fine.
00:51:18
>> Elena can relate. >> Yep. Also, Elena, congrats on The Butcher and the Ren. I loved it so much
00:51:23
and it got the seal of approval for my crime novel loving 93year-old grandma. >> I think that might be the best
00:51:28
compliment you've ever received. Your crimeloving 93year-old Irish grandma. >> Yeah.
00:51:35
>> Yep. That's a win right there. You should somehow can we get that as a blurb on the next book?
00:51:40
>> I would really like that. >> Siv's 93year-old crimeloving Irish grandma >> app.
00:51:47
I honestly I'll take that. Uh, I will happy cry for a week if this is read on the pod. So, buckle up, [ __ ] because
00:51:53
there are some hairy as heck tales and also apologies for any spelling or grammatical errors as I have dyslexia.
00:51:59
Whoop whoop. You're killing it so far. Yep. I was going to apologize for the length and say to cut it short if you
00:52:04
want, but I know you two absolutely will not do that. >> Never. >> I'm going to kick things off with ET.
00:52:09
Both of these tales are my marvelous mothers, but it's all G. She hath given me permission to share them. So, here we
00:52:15
go. Let's tip back to 1970s Ireland. in the back ars of of [ __ ] nowhere Ireland.
00:52:21
>> Let's go. >> My mother is the fourth youngest of 12 kids. >> Wow. Bless your grandmother.
00:52:26
>> Yeah. Yes. My grandmother is one amazing woman. >> Evidently, >> that's why I want her on my book jacket.
00:52:31
Anyway, it was mid-occtober and while my mother's parents were out playing bingo
00:52:35
because what else would you be doing on a Friday night? My mother's older siblings decided to be extra cute family
00:52:40
fiends and give my mother and her sister some money to walk to the little shop about a mile from their house to get
00:52:47
biscuits and juice hardcore. It's important to note my mom was about 13 at the time and her older sister was 17 or
00:52:53
18 years young. Now remember we were in rural Ireland in the 70s here. Lamposts along the road did not exist and it was
00:53:00
October so it was dark by the time they started to make shapes to the shop. The only light they had was from a little
00:53:06
farmhouse they met along the way and the moon as it was a clear night, but that was it. My mother said it took them
00:53:12
about 15 minutes to walk to the shop and there it was closing at 7:00 p.m. They got there in the nick of time, grabbed
00:53:19
the [ __ ] they needed to get, and made to go back as it was getting late. They were low-key spooked because come on,
00:53:24
dark country road at night. Uh, [ __ ] no. See you later. Anyway, as they were walking back, they both noticed this
00:53:30
huge ass light up ahead, less than 500 yd from their house. It seemed to be a field, and my mom said it lit up the
00:53:37
entire area. It was ridiculously bright, and she described it as being like the sun.
00:53:41
>> Damn. >> It was much too big to be a combine harvester, and it wasn't moving. It was
00:53:46
just like this enormous flood light that you get at football games that just engulfed the field. Both her and her
00:53:52
sister were confused as heck, as this obviously wasn't there when they had walked over. My mom, being the curious
00:53:57
little fart she was and still is. I love a curious little fart, decided to go and
00:54:03
check it out. There was a little farmhouse just at the top of the field and a narrow stone pathway covered by
00:54:08
tall trees and hedger hedger leading up to it. My mother said her older sister insisted she just come come home, but
00:54:16
nope. Badass 13-year-old mama was on a mission. Her sister, my aunt, reluctantly followed after her because
00:54:22
the situation was beginning to get super creepy. As mom walked up the little lane, she said the light seemed to be
00:54:27
getting brighter and brighter to the point she was finding it hard to see. That's when she saw it. Just up ahead,
00:54:32
hovering slightly above the trees, was an enormous craft. Yep, that's right. It was a [ __ ] UFO.
00:54:39
>> Let's go. >> She described the craft as having three massive spotlights, a dome shape in the
00:54:44
center, and a saucer-shaped base with a ring of smaller lights around the saucer. My mom said if she had scaled
00:54:50
the tree, she would have been able to put her hand on the base of it. Oh, she had curious little fart.
00:54:54
>> Stunned and absolutely [ __ ] it. My mom said she just froze. She said she tried to move but her legs uh but they
00:55:01
would not budge from under her. It was as if she was in a translike state. She recalls being completely transfixed on
00:55:07
this monstrosity of a [ __ ] and legit could not pull her eyes off it. >> All she remembers was hearing my sister
00:55:13
screaming at her in a muffled tone as if she were underwater to get the [ __ ] out
00:55:18
of there. It was at this point my mother snapped out of her trance and turned to
00:55:22
look back at her sister. But before my mother had even even had a chance to look back, the humming noise intensified
00:55:28
and the craft shot off at the speed of light into the night sky. I think it was at this point the reality of what just
00:55:34
happened hit my mother and both her and her sister absolutely forest gumped it the [ __ ] out of there. Out of breath and
00:55:40
a couple of skid marks up later, they tried to explain to their siblings what the [ __ ] just happened. And naturally,
00:55:47
they thought these two must have inhaled something on the way over the road and hallucinated this [ __ ] because
00:55:52
absolutely no way did that happen. If it had just been my mom alone, I don't think anyone would have believed her as
00:55:57
she was only a soft 13. But her sister was 18 and was white as a [ __ ] ghost from the shock of it all. When my
00:56:03
mother's parents arrived back, they told them the entire story. My grandpa was a
00:56:07
police sergeant at the time and asked my mother and her sister to draw exactly what they had seen. Both of them drew
00:56:13
identical pictures. Naturally, there was an air of caution and suspicion surrounding their stories as it's one of
00:56:19
those things, isn't it? I for one believe in it all. The universe simply is too big and vast for us just to be
00:56:25
it. >> Agreed. >> And to be honest, I don't know what's scarier. Either we're alone or we're
00:56:29
not. And honestly, >> it's so much scarier that if we were alone. >> If we're alone, that's terrifying to me.
00:56:34
>> It wasn't until the next day when the principal of the local school came into
00:56:37
the police station to make a rather odd and unexplainable statement. Mom stated that it was at this point that my
00:56:43
father, my grandpa, or her father, my grandpa, truly believed the happenings of the previous night with his
00:56:49
daughters. The man stated that while he was driving home from the bingo, he felt
00:56:53
an almighty magnetic pull on his car. So much so that the car just completely stalled and wouldn't move, even though
00:57:00
he was driving at the time. He said the force was so strong that he himself struggled to get out of the car to see
00:57:06
what the [ __ ] was going on. He explained to my grandpa that he managed to wrangle
00:57:10
his way out of his seat belt enough to peep his head out the window, but just as he did, he saw he said a massive
00:57:16
flying object shot off into the sky. He stated that it simply couldn't have been
00:57:22
a helicopter as there was absolutely no sound. And the speed at which it flew off was like nothing he'd ever seen
00:57:27
before. >> That's so [ __ ] creepy. >> Naturally, my grandpa was perplexed as [ __ ] at this. And to this day, my mom
00:57:34
still can't fully explain why or what the [ __ ] ET was doing visiting her neck of the woods in rural Ireland. But yeah,
00:57:40
that's the story that I you have to believe that another guy came in and said he saw the same thing
00:57:45
>> and had no idea that two other girls saw >> didn't even know who they were. >> That's so [ __ ] creepy.
00:57:50
>> Little spin-off story. My boyfriend is a pilot and said he's been seeing strange
00:57:54
lights to the west of Ireland flying much higher than the plane for the last 2 months now.
00:57:59
>> What? Me being a Libra and always has to weigh up the options asked, "Could it be
00:58:03
a satellite?" But he said, "Absolutely no way. It moves in different directions and can sometimes appear green in color.
00:58:10
It's become so frequent that he said other pilots are talking about it and their second frequency, I think that's
00:58:15
what it's called. I'm not great on aviation lingo, but yeah, that [ __ ] fascinates me."
00:58:20
>> Pilot must be [ __ ] wild. >> Oh my god, I can't even imagine. >> The craziest [ __ ] Truly. Anyways, for
00:58:27
story two, we're going to take a trip down Paranormal Road. And yes, this also involves my mother. I swear this woman
00:58:33
has a six sense that might start I might start calling her Cole. The events of the movie plotline of this movie
00:58:39
plotline take place in the late 80s when Mama Bear was in her second year of university.
00:58:44
>> Uni. Mom was staying on campus with her friend in a four-bedroom dorm. Now, the
00:58:48
layout of this dorm is important. On each floor, there was five dorm rooms. Each dorm room had four bedrooms and
00:58:54
then a shared kitchen and common room. However, in order to access each floor, you had to have a specific key. Okay,
00:59:00
cool. Sweet. Back to the story. So, one weekend when every everyone bar my mom, her friend, and two others on their dorm
00:59:07
floor had gone home, my mother and her friend decided to stay in their uni dorm as they worked in the city, but more so
00:59:13
because they couldn't afford the bus fair that week because come on, broke us uni students. And what sounds better,
00:59:18
bus fair or a chance for a raging pissup? >> A raging a raging pissup. Incredible.
00:59:24
Anyway, on this particular evening, my mom was getting her beautiful curly red curly hair. I said red hair because if I
00:59:30
pictured her with red hair, uh curly hair, ready for a night on the tiles. Side note, so jealous of them being in
00:59:36
their 20s and getting to experience the 80s in all its glory. I agree. I feel that way about people who experience the
00:59:41
80s in their 20s and the '9s and like their adolescence. >> Yeah, she was sitting at the end of
00:59:47
their hall in their dorm room as there was a long length mirror situated there. To the left of her was the exit door
00:59:52
that took you to the common room and out of the complex. So, if anyone was entering or leaving their dorm room, she
00:59:57
would have seen them as she would have had to have scooched over to let them past. About 5 minutes into drying her
01:00:03
hair, my mom said she kept seeing her friend who was doing her makeup in the bathroom at the other end of the hall,
01:00:08
peeking her head out of the door with a confused look on her face. Confused, my mom asked, "What are you looking at?" To
01:00:14
which her friend replied, "I thought I saw someone walk past the door." My mom said she sort of laughed it off and
01:00:19
replied, "Hm, nope. I would have seen them too. Trick of the eye, maybe. They both continued getting ready and just as
01:00:25
mom was about to switch off the haird dryer, she said she felt a presence behind her. E.
01:00:29
>> She looked up into the mirror to find a girl, >> not much older than her, standing
01:00:34
directly behind her just smiling at her. >> Disgusting. >> She said this girl had a black bob and
01:00:40
was wearing a cream crew neck uh top with a purple cardigan. Stunned, mom instantly just said, "Oh, hello. Sorry.
01:00:47
I didn't even notice you coming. That's when she noticed. >> She's like, "Hey, sorry, [ __ ] Didn't
01:00:53
see you there. >> Didn't see you enter my [ __ ] house." >> Uh, she That's when she noticed it. The
01:00:59
girl in the mirror didn't have a lower body. She was a simply a floating [ __ ] torso.
01:01:06
>> I wonder if it was one of those things where the building used to be structured
01:01:10
differently and her pelvis down was on the next floor. >> Pelvis down. >> Ew. >> Completely frozen to the spot. My mom
01:01:18
tried not to scream to her friend even though she said she didn't feel panicked at all. In fact, she said she felt this
01:01:24
overpowering sense of calm. >> So, it must have been a good ghost. >> Yeah. My mom looked at this girl
01:01:28
straight in the eye while this girl just continued to smile back at her. She said
01:01:32
she tried to turn the haird dryer off without breaking eye contact, but had to look away for a split second to remove
01:01:37
the plug from the wall. And when she looked back up, almost instantly, the girl had gone.
01:01:41
>> What? >> Now, remember, she had been sitting on the floor right beside the exit door.
01:01:46
And so if this girl had entered or left the room, my mom would have literally had to have moved her entire body to let
01:01:51
her out. She had not budged from the floor once. Naturally, once the shock of what she had just seen set in, she
01:01:58
called to her friend and the both of them darted to the common room where the other two people on the floor were
01:02:03
sitting eating food. Both of them asked the two if they'd seen this girl leaving
01:02:06
the floor, as she would have had to exit the building via the common room. >> Of course, they didn't. They said they
01:02:12
hadn't seen a single person enter or leave the dorm and that they had been in the common room for the guts of an hour
01:02:17
at least, so they would have seen her. E >> my mom said it was at that point she
01:02:21
began to feel her breath quickening. There was a church on campus and both mom and her friend decided they would
01:02:25
visit the chaplain first thing the next morning and explained to the priest what
01:02:29
had happened and what they had both seen. Because remember, my mom's friend said she saw someone walk past the
01:02:34
bathroom door minutes before my mom saw the girl in the mirror. As they were explaining what she looked like, my mom
01:02:40
said the priest began to scrunch his eyebrows as if he was remembering something. The priest told them to wait
01:02:45
for a second and disappeared into a room at the back of the church. He returned a
01:02:49
minute or two later with a huge folder full of mass cards and began to flick through them. He stopped and pulled out
01:02:55
one out of the folder. My mom said her heart dropped when he turned it around and asked, "Does this lady look familiar
01:03:01
to you?" Shakily, my mom replied, "Oh my god, yes, that's her. That's the girl I
01:03:07
saw last night. I just got full chills. >> I did, too. I got a womb. There on the
01:03:11
mascard, wearing exactly what my mom had described was the girl in the mirror. >> Oh, that's chilling.
01:03:17
>> Mom said she looked so angelic and beautiful. >> Oh. >> The priest then dropped his head and
01:03:22
looked at the mascard. Softly, the priest uttered, "This lovely girl was a student here, but sadly passed away from
01:03:27
leukemia about 7 years ago." >> Oh, I just got another chill. At this point, both my mom and her friend began
01:03:33
to cry, mostly because of how sorry they were for her, but also because she chose
01:03:37
to show herself to them. The priest then came up to their dorm and blessed it. Nothing happened after that, and they
01:03:42
never saw her again. But mom claimed she wasn't scared because she knew that girl
01:03:46
uh the girl that she had seen was a kind soul, and if any was probably just looking over the place while they were
01:03:51
there. To this day, my mom still received various signs, such as knocks on doors when she's home alone, or
01:03:57
having premonitions in her dreams of things that will happen not long after she's dreamt of them. So, yeah, I think
01:04:02
it's safe to say Mama Bear is definitely a gifted soul who attracts the weird and
01:04:06
wonderful. Or who knows, maybe ET had something to do with it, >> maybe. >> But anyway, I hope you enjoyed these
01:04:11
tales that we can all thank my fabulous mother for. And remember to keep it weird, but not so weird that you know,
01:04:18
all that. >> That was such a good one. so much. >> You know, all that >> that was so good. Both of those stories
01:04:28
[ __ ] scary. >> Yeah, very, very scary. Guys, these were great tales. >> These were so good. Oh, the scary lady
01:04:35
is sitting with me. >> I love it. I love it though. >> That was freaking me out.
01:04:38
>> That scary lady in the picture will ruin me for life. But truly, guys, you killed
01:04:43
it. Truly killed it. >> Yeah. Brought to you by you for you and from you and all about you. Just I love
01:04:47
you guys. >> We love you. We love you so much. And in March, we'll see you on video on the
01:04:52
YouTube. Hell yeah. So, in the meantime, we hope you keep listening and we hope you keep it weird. We're not so sure
01:04:59
that you don't send in your tails to morbid [email protected] with listener tails somewhere in the headline. We like
01:05:04
scary stories. We like paranormal stories. We like UFO stories. We like ghost stories. We like um abduction
01:05:10
stories. We like any kind of story that's really creepy. Oh, we really like dream stories, too. Okay, bye bye.
01:05:18
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.
