You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on, I got a new favorite food.
00:01:21
That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Kewpie Mayo. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap
00:01:25
and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store.
00:01:28
And this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Kewpie only uses egg yolks,
00:01:34
which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything.
00:01:41
Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers. Chefs use it. Restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it.
00:01:47
Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Kewpie, the original Japanese mayonnaise.

My favorite world Hello! And welcome to Rewind with Karen in Georgia. That's right, it's Wednesday and that means it's time for us to recap our old episodes with all new commentary, updates, and insights.

00:02:33

00:03:06
Thank you. This is my one of two blouses. There's color. I like the color. I just decided to go with
00:03:12
some color. It's bright. It shocks people. It brings things out of you. It brings. For about
00:03:18
four minutes ago, I had fake eyelashes on. Oh, my God. And yet, then the rest of me is dressed like
00:03:23
I've been in bed for four days. It's a great combination. Well, I have something to tell you.
00:03:30
Okay. I mean, it's not a big deal, but as of today, Mimi is on Prozac. What? My cat, yeah.
00:03:37
Am I the most Los Angeles person you've ever met in your fucking life? My cat and I are on pharmaceutical for depression and anxiety.
00:03:46
Wait, why is Mimi on Prozac? She's so chill. She's a grumpy bitch and she's unhappy.
00:03:53
listen who where did you get the pros at my therapist you're not no we took her to the vet and i was like look she's just hiding in a box of my favorite murder
00:04:03
merch all day oh people love that we should make them pay extra right for me me for uh yeah so i'd
00:04:11
be so pissed if i ordered some a new shirt and it'd be like i have all my own animal hair i don't
00:04:17
need this um so as you can tell this is the spooky episode of my favorite murder we start out with
00:04:23
The creepiest thing of all, a cat on Prozac. Everyone who's not from Los Angeles is like, what the fuck is wrong with these people?
00:04:31
That's hilarious. Oh, yeah. So this is our special Halloween episode. Yeah. Because our normal show is not scary at all or creepy or a huge bummer.
00:04:42
So we figured we'd go a little ghosty for you on this one. And we asked you guys to write us your personal real.
00:04:51
We begged you to make them true. Yeah. And we read for truth authenticity. Is that what it's?
00:04:57
We read for authenticity to make sure you guys weren't lying liars who lied. That's right.
00:05:01
And Stephen, a lot of people don't know this, but in his mustache, there is a lie detector.
00:05:07
So he will sniff that shit out. The second he clicks that email open, he'll be like, uh-uh, uh-uh, no way.
00:05:15
Stephen's mustache keeping you honest. My mustache is tingling. There's lies in this email.
00:05:20
Since 1985 I don't know When he was born I'm guessing it's 1985 I bet it was in the late 80s
00:05:26
87 Damn it Yeah I wasn't specific I can't I'm pretending to be That I won that somehow
00:05:32
And I didn't You did I'm not I just try too hard sometimes Um By guessing a year
00:05:38
I'm really bummed out I'm gonna go Don't Hey Take a Prozac real quick Take one Take one of Mimi's Prozacs
00:05:44
We're fine Last night George and I had dinner Stephen You'll think this is funny
00:05:49
and one of the people at dinner was like, how long have you been doing this podcast?
00:05:52
I was like, almost a year. George is like almost two years I was like what That blew my mind I know Mine too I think i asked you as a question i wasn like two years karen no it was like almost two years it must be two that can
00:06:08
be right yeah man crazy it's gone so fast it's been so fun that's a million years in podcast years
00:06:13
i think yeah two years for real you know what i mean like this is the fucking infancy of podcasting
00:06:20
And so that means two years is a long time. So this is a dog year situation. Is that what you're saying?
00:06:27
Got it. So this is like our 17th year coming up on. Yes. Do you know what we need to talk about?
00:06:33
What? The thing that I and everyone wants to talk about this. Mind counter. Did I say it right?
00:06:41
Yeah. That's how you pronounce it. That's how you pronounce it. Great. Let's talk about it.
00:06:46
So you're a no. I'm not. an i am on like episode five and i must i must sometimes okay i i don't i don't i'm a sometimes
00:06:58
i don't want to talk shit on it because i fucking like it it's really cool and exciting
00:07:03
um but the and i but it's but i'm a sometimes well there's so much build up and i'm sure i had
00:07:10
a lot to do with that because there's no way i wasn't gonna love this yeah i just i i i permanently
00:07:17
loved it before i ever laid my eyes on it yeah um and there were it did of course because all pilots
00:07:23
start slow and are difficult um but i this i loved it and i like i i love his directing
00:07:33
yeah and i love whoever art directs for david fincher there's like things like that i love
00:07:38
it's just like scene by scene that it's the interpersonal relationships of certain characters
00:07:43
that I don't give a shit about. I love when they're actually interviewing the criminals.
00:07:49
The guy who played Ed Kemper needs all the awards. In my mind, I start going like, how did you cast this role?
00:07:57
Because you have to get a guy that's like, we need people that have to be over 6'6".
00:08:00
They have to be really giant, but they also then have to be great actors. How many?
00:08:06
It's not like LA is full of those people. So I'm like, this guy, I bet you they found this guy in the Canadian Outback.
00:08:12
He's probably really a serial killer. That's his jail. He's actually in. Yeah, they were like, he's just good.
00:08:19
We have to hire him. Listen, I know it's weird. But worse things happen in Hollywood.
00:08:25
Wait, like what? Every day? Oh, you've read the articles. But I, yes, Ed Kemper, like, for me, I was like, I'm in whatever is happening here and
00:08:35
whatever they're trying to develop. Because I could feel that thing of there. It was, it's, you know, a period piece, basically.
00:08:41
it's like starts in the late 70s all that this those old cars man i was thinking the same thing
00:08:47
when they would kind of come around a corner and there would just be streets lined with old cars
00:08:50
and all different you know they looked so real i just i don't know i go way into the detail but
00:08:56
then i also love that actor so the lead actor i love he's like a i mean he's from a million things
00:09:02
but he's also like a broadway star he's a little sweet baby angel and beautiful and yeah and kind
00:09:07
of had the perfect like um that's not how you picture an fbi like some hard-nosed cigarette
00:09:15
smoking reminds me of dennis from it's always sunny in philadelphia so much that i keep thinking it's
00:09:21
a joke that it's gonna be like a sketch yeah but like he actually is a horrible person yeah i don't
00:09:29
know yes it's very it's jarring to me i mean i'm gonna keep watching of course keep watching i
00:09:35
I binged it when I think it was when we were going, we were leaving for the Anaheim leg.
00:09:41
Yeah. I like to call our weekends legs of tours because that's how, you know, rock stars talk about it.
00:09:48
But I bit my friend Molly was like, oh, it's on right now because they put it up at midnight on Netflix.
00:09:53
And I was like, what? So I started watching it at 1 a.m. the night before we left for that weekend.
00:09:59
because I was like, and I got, I think I got through the first five and then, you know,
00:10:03
we had to leave and then I came back at the end, which was so satisfying. Well, Halloween is when we started hanging out two years ago.
00:10:11
That's fucking right. Nice one. Yes. Halloween two years ago is when the podcast was born.
00:10:19
It was in utero. That's right. That's when we planted the seed. That's when we did it with our personalities.
00:10:25
Yeah. That's when we actually boned. And then, you know, you don't get pregnant for like two or three days, right?
00:10:30
That's right. So it could take a while. Yeah. And that's when you were like, the inception moment was Georgia texting, I can't remember,
00:10:37
or calling me and then being like, let's just do a podcast. Let's just do a podcast.
00:10:41
I was like, well, okay, if you make it really easy for me, then I will. And you were like, I will.
00:10:46
Let's have a baby together. We'll name a podcast. We'll love her and caretake her.
00:10:51
What are you going to be for Halloween this year? Oh, me? Yeah. I'm going to be on my couch.
00:10:57
What I am every year. On my couch. Good. No, I actually, our friend has a party that everybody goes to.
00:11:05
That's a ridiculous, humongous, our friend Scotty. And he said, I promised him that if we were in town on the day he has it, that I will go.
00:11:13
Because I always say I will. Remember the year that I was supposed to go, I dropped my phone in the pool.
00:11:20
And I couldn't tell you that I wasn't going. But it was so boozy. I think you would have lost your mind anyways.
00:11:25
Yeah. It's just like grown up alcohol, like grown up drunk kid party. Yeah. But fun.
00:11:31
So, I mean, just kind of legendary. But also, I think I should do the thing of the old people going early.
00:11:36
Who cares about this topic for real? But I also. Let's go early. I'll go early with you.
00:11:41
Let's go early. And then also because the parking is so crazy in that neighborhood.
00:11:46
Look how old we are. I mean. And these kids are so loud and they take marijuana.
00:11:50
Oh, they're so loud and they take marijuana. They will take marijuana right next to you.
00:11:54
And then how could you even see what anyone dressed as It too dark And your vision gone because you high on marijuana
00:12:05
Okay, we're back. Karen, how many blouses, now that you're a full-time podcaster with sponsorship deals left and right,
00:12:12
how many blouses do you have now? I don't want to fuel the haters, but I think I have upwards of six blouses at this point.
00:12:18
What? Yeah. And jewel tones, too. What if you told Karen, 2017 Karen, that she would be wearing jewel tones on the regular?
00:12:25
She'd spit in your eye. And then she and Mimi would take their Prozac and fucking leave.
00:12:32
Prozac, Cher. I love the announcement of that where it's like, so, you know, do you feel like now 10
00:12:37
years later, has Mimi's mental health journey improved since those days? No, we've just gotten comfortable with her anger.
00:12:45
You know, like I realize it's not it's not about what's around her or what's it's just
00:12:50
her she's fucking mad and now she's old and mad and has to live with a fucking dog and little cat
00:12:55
who's like she's just not fond of so i think that mimi's biggest problem and prozac isn't going to
00:13:02
take care of this is that she's supposed to be an only cat so and she's the opposite you're just
00:13:07
like and i guarantee that will never happen to you right but she's going on strong i'm 2017 was a long
00:13:13
time ago and mimi's fucking still kicking it so i think we know a lot of people who are great
00:13:18
examples of how bitterness and spite actually are great engines and really move you along really
00:13:24
nicely fuels the fire of life that's right okay so this is an episode where we just read halloween

00:16:33
Stephen's lying mustache of justice. Yeah. sorted those out and here they are yes go karen okay i'm gonna read this one first
00:16:43
um the subject line is i'm glad she didn't look us in the eye hi hey all sociopath my story is
00:16:53
from a couple years ago my niece two years old at the time was standing on top of my desk pulling
00:16:57
books out from the attached bookshelf one by one i stood behind her ensuring she didn't fall to her
00:17:03
death should she trip on a nancy drew and stumble i spent so much of my life standing behind nora
00:17:10
letting her do what she wanted and just being there and then it just it's such a weird feeling
00:17:15
of like oh i wonder how many people did this for me when i thought i was out by myself like doing
00:17:19
stuff and there's just an adult there waiting to catch you or or not or that should have been there
00:17:25
yes it wasn't yeah okay there's so many options everything okay so i stood behind her said that
00:17:33
To our left is a bedroom door, which goes into a hallway that leads to the kitchen to the right.
00:17:38
And the garage to the left, kind of like a three-way intersection. We were in there for a little while, her pulling books, me estimating how long it would take to clean up when it happened.
00:17:49
From my peripheral vision, I saw my great aunt slowly start to pass by the doorframe.
00:17:54
I could see the red robe she wore all the time her short curly dark hair and her ever bright red Taylor Swift lipstick Oh my god
00:18:05
My great aunt died four years before that day. When she vanished from the doorframe, I scooped up my niece, who had stared unblinkingly at her the whole time.
00:18:16
So the baby saw, too, and followed. But when I turned into the hallway, nothing was there.
00:18:23
she was 100% real we both saw her what the fuck but no matter how many times I've told this story
00:18:30
absolutely no one believes me I'm into weird stuff I believe the Loch Mast Monster is real
00:18:34
me too girl no yes yes how because because first of all okay don't make me get mad at you Georgia
00:18:43
well I think aliens are real let's go ready go no I don't like this um I think the Loch
00:18:49
Steven, are you with me on this? I'm totally. You guys. Because listen, and this might be your theory too.
00:18:57
We don't know what's in the ocean at all. It's not the ocean. It's a lake. But lakes are connected to the ocean in subterranean underground tunnels.
00:19:07
And they could be living down in caves and places that we have. We don't know we're down there because no one's ever fucking explored.
00:19:15
I agree. 99% of the ocean. I agree with all of the, all of that. the ocean is fucking amazing and monsters are among them the loch ness monster specifically
00:19:24
was made up by a dude you okay but that's a cynical minute on his death bed that's not true
00:19:31
it's not punk rock it has nothing to do with the dead kennedys right now you're trying to be punk rock about the loch ness monster and i resent it
00:19:39
why am i being why is my musical taste being brought into this argument uh because you're
00:19:45
just you have to believe you have to it is the best idea that's that's something that's a holdover
00:19:53
from 50 million years ago is like oh but i was hiding around the corner nobody killed me off
00:19:59
that when that when that meteor hit i was just chilling and i saved all this algae i don't know
00:20:06
i just want to believe in it really bad same well they they found a supposedly extinct coelacanth
00:20:12
fish like that had been dead for millions of years and they found it like 20 years ago and it's just
00:20:16
been hiding out under madagascar for millions i believe in cedar car fish or whatever but the
00:20:22
Loch Ness monster it specifically you know i believe in dinosaurs listen i don't think he
00:20:28
wears that little tam-a-shanter okay so that i agree with you is ridiculous no he doesn't have
00:20:33
he doesn't wear a kilt and no that would be crazy he's a fish he can't wear a skirt
00:20:38
okay let's let's put a pin in this i have and say you're wrong and come back to it
00:20:45
when that Loch Ness monster corpse washes up finally i will 100 i'll go on record right now
00:20:52
i'll tell you you're wrong no i will not admit that i ever said any of this 100 karen we have
00:21:00
the recording no never that never happened how do you believe the recording i've double recorded
00:21:05
this fucking aliens i'm taking a picture of this recording okay here go we've totally lost our
00:21:11
place they saw the ant oh my god i was that's right i was scared i forgot guys we're super scared
00:21:15
remember the old lady with the lipstick that passed we believe her a baby saw it baby a baby
00:21:20
watching a ghost is the scare that you're seeing too that's your proof is done and done because
00:21:26
like humans have all these things that are like getting in the way of them able to see these
00:21:29
spiritual things and baby's just like what a ghost okay whatever why would that baby look away from
00:21:33
the greatest game in the world pull books off a shelf it wouldn't you still play that game i love
00:21:38
it we're gonna get through one story i love these ones just it's all digressions okay um she says
00:21:50
it was the most surreal thing that has ever happened to me and i remember the moment clearer
00:21:54
than anything else i've ever experienced uh looking back on it though i remember she walked
00:22:00
with her head down, staring at the floor ahead of her, and never turned to make eye contact with either of us.
00:22:06
Almost like she didn't see us. At the time, this confused me, but now that I've had time to think about it,
00:22:12
she looked miserable, and I'm really grateful she didn't make eye contact with me.
00:22:17
I have no reason to think this, but it can't be a good omen to make eye contact with a dead person.
00:22:23
Yeah, that makes sense. That's good logic. I don't want to ever make eye contact with a dead person. I'm going to say that
00:22:28
on this podcast. I know it's controversial, of stance yep again punk rock punk rock again well ravey kind of um it's all my bad musical
00:22:40
taste is getting thrown you're in your big pants yeah have you ever posted that picture of you with
00:22:45
those big pants and the choker on which one it's the one that looks like it's the cameras on the
00:22:50
ground like it's almost all pants you look like a pants model you know that one i think so you have
00:22:57
To post it. Okay. That you're so like 1994 in it. I know. I know. I will. We're still not done with this email.
00:23:05
Go on. Pants model. Pants model. I don't know what it was or what it meant, but I hope she found peace even if she hasn't.
00:23:15
If she hasn't already. Anyway, that's my ghost story. Love you guys. Even Steven.
00:23:21
F. Oh, even Steven. I thought they were saying it like the same. like even now we're even love you even steven that's a given people always love steven yeah
00:23:33
um that was genuine and legit creepy i love the idea of like seeing us being walked by it's not
00:23:41
like i saw this thing out of the corner at my or like i would come into the kitchen and all the
00:23:44
drawers were open because that's the fucking scariest thing in the world right like nothing
00:23:48
is scarier than all the whatever that's being open yes or like all the things taken out of
00:23:52
this thing and placed on top of this thing. In those Conjuring movies, when they do that, when it's like someone steps out of the kitchen,
00:24:00
All the chairs are in a pile. The sixth sense in that scene. Yes. When the mom comes back into the kitchen and everything is just piled up.
00:24:06
Yep. Murder. The best. Run. Yeah. Running. Goodbye. You wish you could run, but you have to stay.
00:24:12
All right. Let's do the big hairy man. Okay. I love those. This is a love story, not a ghost story.
00:24:22
About how I love hairy man. Mm-hmm. Hi, Karen, Georgia, Stephen, and all our favorite furry babies.
00:24:30
I finally decided to write to you after seeing your request for scary, spooky stories till this day.
00:24:34
My mother still thinks I'm crazy. When I was around the age of five, I had a bunk bed.
00:24:40
I'm a side sleeper. And if I laid on my right side, I could see my doorway. Being five, I had the worst.
00:24:46
Being five, the worst thing in the world would be sleeping in a room with a closed door.
00:24:50
I had to have my door open. Ditto. Yeah. For about six months, often I would wake up in the middle of the night.
00:24:55
I'm not sure what time, but all the lights would be out and everyone would be sleeping.
00:24:59
In my doorway, I would see a figure. It was large enough to fill the entire space.
00:25:04
You could see the outline of what I would describe as hair and red eyes. There would be heavy rhythmic breathing.
00:25:11
What I would sometimes wonder if was the sound of my father sleeping across the hall when I would think about this later in life.
00:25:18
I would be terrified. I didn't want him to know I was awake, so I'd pretend to be sleeping and casually roll over.
00:25:24
Well, little me thought it was casual. I would eventually fall asleep. I would tell my mother about him and she would dismiss him as a figment of my imagination.
00:25:31
Finally, after one night, I said to myself, when he comes back, I'm going to jump off the bed, kick him between the legs and run across the hall to my parents' room.
00:25:39
He never came back. Years later, in grade nine. What's up, Canada? I was asleep.
00:25:45
I was some friends of mine. We were all telling stories and I began to talk about the big hairy man.
00:25:50
One of the girls finished describing him. I was floored. She told me to speak to our friend Blake.
00:25:55
I saw him in the hall at school that following Monday. All I said to him was, big hairy man with glowing red eyes.
00:26:01
His eyes started to tear up. How do you know that? He said. I said, I saw him too.
00:26:07
He proceeded to tell me the big hairy man would sit at the end of his bed watching him.
00:26:14
He says they spoke, but he doesn't remember what they said. Two years later, summer school, I'm talking to this chick.
00:26:21
He would stand at the end of her bed and watch her. About a year after that, at a party at my friend's house where I was crashing for the night, I was sharing a bed with my friend Peter.
00:26:30
Laying in the dark, I was telling him the story. He said, if you could see me right now, I have tears in my eyes.
00:26:36
He used to stand outside my window at night. Finally, about five years ago, talking to a girl I worked with, he would stand at the end of her bed too.
00:26:44
None of us have any childhood connections. None of us went to the same elementary school and only met in high school or after.
00:26:50
None of us could find a connection. Now when my husband goes away for the weekend with the kids
00:26:54
All doors are fucking closed Including closets, just in case After telling my mother all the sightings
00:26:59
The woman still thinks I'm crazy Stay sexy and close your bedroom door before you sleep tonight
00:27:04
Kelly Now, that's super creepy Did I ever tell you my story About seeing something weird?
00:27:12
No When I was a kid, like five years old And I was sleeping in a bunk bed at night
00:27:18
And we had, like at the end of the bunk bed was a mirrored closet like the moving doors kind
00:27:26
and I was laying there late at night, everyone was sleeping and I saw the closet door open on its own
00:27:31
like a foot just like pushed open on its own and I freaked the fuck out and ran into my parents room
00:27:39
and that's it and you don't know it I remember it happening, like I don't think that was a figment of my imagination because it actually fucking opened yes and you were awake
00:27:52
i was awake and it opened that's super creepy and i had to like get all of my fucking courage to run
00:27:58
because i had to run past like the closet door i mean that those moments of like when you are really
00:28:03
young you running uh kelly right kelly turning over turning your back to like basically a monster
00:28:13
in the doorway. Like even those moments of like being brave as a little kid are so huge.
00:28:19
Yeah. Your adrenaline's just pumping. It's so, I mean, that's so scary. Okay. We are back.
00:28:30
Revisiting our most legendary disagreement about the Loch Ness Monster. How do you feel about it today? In today's money, what's your opinion?
00:28:39
In today's money, I think I'm three times more passionate. I've invested. I've doubled down.
00:28:44
I've tripled down on the Loch Ness Monster. I believe now more than ever. Even the guy saying, I faked the Loch Ness Monster photo.
00:28:52
Karen cannot. She thinks that the Loch Ness Monster threatened his life and said, if you don't fucking tell
00:28:58
him. The proof that man was clearly in distress and clearly he would have never said those
00:29:04
words had there not been a real Loch Ness Monster at his neck. Loch Ness Monster was like, snitches get stitches, bro.
00:29:10
And there's your proof. I rest my case, Your Honor. How do you feel about the Loch Ness Monster these days?
00:29:16
I was against it then. Not against it. I'm okay with him being real if he is real, but I can't imagine.
00:29:22
I was accusing you of being laissez-faire about the Loch Ness Monster. That's right.
00:29:28
I think I still am. Get off the fence. But I do love the idea. I love anger or nothing.
00:29:35
Or nothing at all. I do believe there's probably some crazy ass creatures out there we don't know about.
00:29:41
So why can't one of them be in the mess, in the Loch Ness? Right. Why can't they be underwater?
00:29:48
Yeah. Hairy men or giant men? What's better? For me, giant. Giant? Although I not against hairy in the least Yeah It like the hairy part is really it what it like what is the word It really primal It really sexy and smutty and musty
00:30:06
Until it tips over this like invisible line of too much. And it's a fine line of too much
00:30:12
and in too many places. I wonder now that we're on the topic, if there's such thing as caveman smut, because we know there's hockey smut now
00:30:21
and we know there's like cowboys, gay cowboys, smut, whatever. Is there, do you think anyone's ever written an erotic book about,
00:30:29
well, there's Clan of the Cave Bear. How many times have we talked about Clan of the Cave Bear on this podcast?
00:30:33
Like literally at least five. I just seeded my own conversation and brought myself back around.
00:30:39
I was waiting for you to stop so I could yell Clan of the Cave Bear at you. So sorry.
00:30:45
If anyone doesn't know what that is, It's what all of our moms read in the fucking 70s and 80s.
00:30:51
And then we didn't realize it was basically Fifty Shades of Grey, but in a cave.
00:30:56
Yeah, a lot of loincloth action. Yeah, a lot of thrusting, like a lot of loud, hairy thrusting.
00:31:03
I remember stealing it being like, oh, my God. Yes. I used to love stealing my mom's books and pretending I was reading like Judy Blume or
00:31:10
something. Definitely. Definitely. I know my mom took away the outsiders from my brother when we were little, which made
00:31:16
me want to read it. And we went through her closet and found it. Yeah. Then you love it. Yeah. Okay,
00:31:22

Okay, let's see. Sorry, I fucked up these pages. Wedding dress ghost Hi Karen, Georgia, Stephen, Elvis, Mimi
00:34:08
I grew up in an old coal house Off the railroad in old Minneapolis Perfect start
00:34:15
I was in a run down area of the city It was in a run down area of the city As though a designer
00:34:21
Had just said rust was their vision Anyway The house was haunted The trouble began when my parents bought the house
00:34:29
Before I was born My mother found a wedding dress in the attic originally belonging to the old woman who died in the house.
00:34:36
Apparently her husband had left for years before and she died alone. Oh no. And then I just start crying.
00:34:44
And that's it. Thanks for listening. Isn't that the scariest idea in the world? Dying alone.
00:34:51
Happy Halloween. Mom liked the dress. And since she was going to get married, she decided to use this dress to save money.
00:34:59
lady lady you don't like it the dead lady's attic dress well if she didn't want someone else to use
00:35:08
it she should have burned it in the backyard like a normal person you know oh you know how you do
00:35:13
right after you get married this dress is actually when she goes to put it on it's just all made of
00:35:18
moths interconnected moths touching each other make a fly away the moment it's on
00:35:23
and then she disappears too into moths yes but then they're in a moth a moth pod up in the sea
00:35:29
Yeah. And the daughter comes in, Mom, and she goes, Mommy, help me. Hi, me. From far away, in a fan.
00:35:36
Okay. To say my parents' marriage was rough would be an understatement. It's because of the dress.
00:35:43
They fought a lot, but the energy of the house was a darker variety. When I was young, I would hear someone calling my name.
00:35:51
When I'd investigate, no one had called for me. I see slithering shadows out of the corner of my eyes I get that all the time I might be having a seizure I have floaters There all kinds of real get your eyes checked everybody But when I turned
00:36:08
to look, the shadows were gone. My mom noticed this and she was disturbed, but my dad dismissed
00:36:13
it as nothing. Allah, the shining, which is spelled the shinning. Even my dog would not go
00:36:20
upstairs at night cowering whenever anyone tried to bring him near the room and preferring to stay
00:36:26
outside that's the creepiest part to me that's so not dogs fuck no yeah dogs are like i'm good out
00:36:31
here yeah i'm gonna go shiver in the yard where you should have burned that fucking wedding dress
00:36:36
bro i'm gonna go shiver in what should have been the wedding dress pit yeah it's way safer out in
00:36:41
the burning area um things came to a head when i was taking a bath no oh you mean the skeleton hand
00:36:50
that came up through the bubble no no no wait look i'll read this is what it actually says okay
00:36:54
i was alone in the bathroom and i felt someone touch my back no no i was too scared to turn
00:36:59
around oh no and soon my mother came in and i rushed to her crying um my parents marriage fell
00:37:05
apart and eventually they divorced and sold the place since then they've become best friends oh
00:37:10
oh no i i never felt that dark presence again and though i've waned in my belief in the supernatural
00:37:16
I still get chills as an adult when thinking back. The dress was lost in a move.
00:37:21
Oh, God. It's in a box in someone else's fucking attic now. It's in Goodwill. This is part two.
00:37:27
It's the scariest Goodwill in town. The dress was lost in a move, but seeing so many B movies in my life, I'm sure it'll come around for a sequel sooner or later.
00:37:38
I swear I didn't read that ahead. Stay sexy. Don't get murdered. Gratefully and sincerely, Alan.
00:37:43
Oh, my God. That's awesome. That is scary. I mean, he had me at a wedding dress in the attic.
00:37:50
Oh, my God. Totally. That's terrifying. Okay. That, this, that, the other. This one.
00:37:57
We did. Okay. You ready for Ghost Uncle Gets His Way? Uh-oh. All right. My great-uncle Jack died when I was really young.
00:38:08
He was always really kind but also deviously sarcastic kind of guy. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and lived for several years with it thanks to chemo.
00:38:16
As he grew older and weaker, my great aunt Roxanne had a stand up shower installed in their bathroom so he wouldn't have to step over the tub with the traditional bath.
00:38:24
He hated that shower. He was in complete denial about being weak and he thought the glass see through door was ugly and tacky.
00:38:31
Hey, fucking man. He constantly asked her if they could go back to the traditional bath.
00:38:36
On the day of his funeral, Roxanne was in the bathroom at the sink taking a breather from the reception.
00:38:41
And out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure moving towards the shower. Just in time, she turned to look at the shower and the glass door freaking exploded.
00:38:51
The glass out of nowhere shattered. Yes. Needless to say, she went back to a normal tub after that.
00:38:58
That sarcastic, hilarious dude got his way from beyond the grave. SSDGM, Patrick.
00:39:03
Oh, my God. I love it. Like physical things. Yes. That's. Yes. That's amazing. Patrick.
00:39:13
That reminds. That just makes me think. after my mom died i think i told you the story but our good friend ellen ellen slater her father
00:39:22
was sick and this was say like yeah a couple months after my mom died and um she went to be
00:39:30
she uh like he had been sick for a while or whatever she went to bed one night and she dreamed
00:39:35
that my mom came to her and was like you need to get your shit together you need to get ready
00:39:40
because your dad's going to die. And she woke up the next day and he had died. Oh, my.
00:39:45
The same night? Yeah. I get. Yeah. What the fuck? I totally believe in that. I do, too.
00:39:53
I mean, the night my mom's dad died. So my mom, like a couple of years before I was born.
00:40:00
His name is George. That's why I'm Georgia. She was in New York visiting her sister.
00:40:05
And they were all out. My family's from L.A. and out of the window like third story window my mom hears her dad yell her name janet
00:40:15
she rushes to the window opens it up nobody's out there that night at that moment he died
00:40:20
in bed asleep asleep at home in la i totally believe in those yeah those those are real like
00:40:27
she the way she tells it to me you know i 100 believe her i love it well yeah i mean that's
00:40:33
it was a real experience yeah and also i think like when you're on this planet and you have
00:40:38
connections with people and you're and you leave like there's whatever it is a burst of energy
00:40:44
whatever it is there's some you know electric there's like electricity in the air it's like
00:40:51
radio waves but radio waves but ghost waves it's people people radio people radio plus am
00:40:59
um on that am frequency coming at you ready for a victorian ghost woman always hey there
00:41:07
karen georgia stephen and cats my mom and i moved into a new apartment that was built in the late
00:41:12
1800s so it is a lot lots of history to it well after long days of moving my mom fell asleep on
00:41:18
the chase oh well well the chaise blue bloods emails from blue blood the chaise lounge she woke
00:41:26
up to fingernails scratching on the arm of the chair she woke up and saw a woman in white looking
00:41:33
at her the woman then slowly walked down the hallway and disappeared for as long as we lived
00:41:39
there i felt strange about that house as if somebody was always watching the lady never
00:41:44
bothered us or was seen again however the people who live there after us have told stories that
00:41:49
there was a ghost that would not leave them alone i found out this story years later and that creepy feeling now makes sense Thanks for the awesome podcast Stay sexy Don get murdered Brittany What if mom bummer to move into a place and just be like you can yell at your neighbors for having fucking you know whatever TV show they watching on too loud
00:42:07
The Americans like, can you please turn that lower, please? Or like fucking, what is it?
00:42:12
Lord of the, what's the one? Yeah. The Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Yeah. Turn that lower.
00:42:16
But it's like, stop haunting me. You can't do that. I know in all those ghost haunting stories that I love that are on TV, the people move into a house that they just spent all their money.
00:42:30
Right. And then they're stuck in this house where crazy shit's happening, but they're all like, no, we have to be in denial because we don't have the money to leave.
00:42:38
Do you remember a couple of years ago there was that story about a family who moved into some house?
00:42:43
It might have been upstate New York or something. I don't fucking know the details.
00:42:46
And they started receiving letters from someone threatening them, threatening their children by name and saying specifically things about their children and their family that they did, like their routine.
00:42:59
They knew everything about them. What? And they were sending them these threatening letters like, move the fuck out or I will kill you all.
00:43:05
And they moved the fuck out. They didn't find out who it was? No. I mean, maybe they have at this point.
00:43:11
Someone let us know. But like. Oh, my God. I was just like, I'd rather have a ghost.
00:43:15
A hundred percent. yes it was just some creepazoid who like probably grew up there or whatever or lived in the walls
00:43:22
or just some fucking neighbor who was like god they listen to the americans so loud yeah exactly
00:43:26
that's that weird thing of like if some crazy person that lives near you and there's the slightest
00:43:30
you know they're like we brought you a pie and you're like i'm sorry i don't eat pie and then
00:43:34
the letter writing campaign starts luckily the murderina who lives two doors down is really
00:43:38
fucking cool and she has the cutest dog i've ever seen in my life oh good thank god thank god that's
00:43:44
Very lucky. Because if she had just been cool, it would have been fine. But one thing, but the dog is cute.
00:43:48
So that's cool. So bonus. Oh, it's my turn. Ready for a sappy ghost story, Karen?
00:43:51
Yes. Because this is called Hey Y'all, How About a Sappy Ghost Story? I was born into a family of funeral directors who operate three funeral homes in rural Tennessee.
00:44:02
Fuck yes. So death has always been part of my life. We had at least three Christmases and my eighth birthday party at the funeral home because they were too busy to leave.
00:44:11
my dad and brother have talked about times they felt a spirit with them or was in the funeral
00:44:18
home but i never experienced it myself until 2007 in early 2007 my grandpa and my yorkie dog passed
00:44:25
away oh that august i moved to knoxville for college and was having a rough time emotionally
00:44:30
losing my grandpa and dog moving away starting college clusterfuck of emotions my then boyfriend
00:44:35
let's call him jack lived in an off-campus apartment and his sister lived nearby with
00:44:39
her little dog, Peyton. One day I was napping in Jack's room while he was in the shower. I was so
00:44:44
tired and in that half sleep, half awake state. I was laying on my left side with my back to the
00:44:49
door and I felt a little dog jump on the bed. I figured his sister had stopped by with Peyton.
00:44:54
The dog walked around on the bed, put its paws on my right side just for a bit, then laid down at
00:45:00
the foot of the bed. Seconds later, I felt someone sit down on the other side of the bed. Figuring it
00:45:05
was jack out of a shower i didn't even bother opening my eyes or rolling over he patted my
00:45:10
right shoulder twice just gave it just a slight squeeze and then the weight of him and the dog
00:45:15
on the bed was gone a few minutes later jack came in and woke me up i asked him why his sister had
00:45:20
left peyton here and he said no one had been in the apartment and the dog wasn't there i didn't
00:45:25
believe him so i got up and went to the living room no dog and the inside deadbolt chain lock
00:45:30
was still locked. So no one had been in the apartment. Walking back to the bedroom, I smelled
00:45:36
juicy fruit gum. Jack didn't chew that gum and neither did I but my grandpa had.
00:45:42
He had kept an open pack in his overall so you always smelled it when he was around.
00:45:47
After realizing this, I immediately started sobbing. I knew it had to have been my grandpa with my
00:45:52
dog letting me know they were okay and I would be too. Thanks so much for this amazing podcast and I can't wait to see
00:45:58
Nashville SSD GM Megan oh my god we're all so fragile do you ever get when when we're away in
00:46:08
hotels and stuff and you're like falling asleep at night do you feel your dogs jump on the bed
00:46:12

00:46:18
phantom phantom buzz and you're like yes phone ring yeah uh I don't get that but I miss it
00:46:25
because frank my dog frank the second i get home and like lay down to watch tv or like whatever

00:46:41
legs and lays there he's like has to be directly pressed up against me baby it's the cutest and

00:46:55
that I left she's mad I came back she's just always mad at me um okay she's glad that you came
00:47:03
you're here um so this is from a reddit thread I found out about this um because a reddit thread
00:47:11
got posted on twitter and um so a bunch of murderinos let us know that this person was
00:47:18
writing in and they were trying to get heard. But of course, our Gmail is chock full and no one had
00:47:26
read this email. So we got the heads up and we went in and found it. And actually, I began to
00:47:31
email with this person and had a good conversation with them. And so they sent this email. And before
00:47:37
I get started, I just want to give a trigger warning. This is a very intense letter. So people,
00:47:44
if you're sensitive to sexual assault stories, you're not going to want to listen to this.
00:47:50
A few months ago, a coworker turned me towards the MFM podcast because a story was told about me.
00:47:57
Spoiler alert, I wasn't murdered. For reference, It was episode 92 in October of 2017.
00:48:03
I actually wrote to you once before and indicated that I didn't want anything more published,
00:48:07
that I just wanted to set the record straight. But I've had a few months to sit on this
00:48:11
and some time to bounce it off my therapist. And I've decided that I do want to tell my story.
00:48:16
It was so crazy to hear my worst nightmare told on a podcast. It felt like a violation.
00:48:22
So much of this has felt like something that happened to me and I want to control this part of the narrative.
00:48:27
I want my real story told by me with my consent. On January 8th, 2017, I was working as a medical legal death investigator and forensic autopsy
00:48:38
tech. I was working a swing shift alone. The building we were in at the time was old and decrepit.
00:48:45
The building was not connected to any hospital, though it did house the county morgue.
00:48:50
The upstairs part of the building was primarily offices and the basement was the autopsy suite
00:48:55
and body cooler. That night, the region was experiencing widespread flooding due to rain melting the snowpack.
00:49:02
Law enforcement resources were stretched thin, and the old building was leaking and threatening to flood.
00:49:07
The county had made press releases that county facilities would be closed the next day.
00:49:12
In addition to scene investigations, part of my duties were to process cases for autopsy the next morning.
00:49:19
Traditionally, I would do all of my writing and follow up from my cubicle upstairs and
00:49:24
save the hands-on processing until the very end of my shift. I would rather process three bodies in a row all at once versus go downstairs three times
00:49:33
during my shift. Even after years of working with the deceased, the downstairs creeped me out.
00:49:38
While I was upstairs writing a report, my computer keyboard malfunctioned. I spent some time fiddling with it, but ultimately decided to go downstairs to an abandoned office,
00:49:47
turned storage room to get a replacement. Normally, I wouldn't have gone downstairs
00:49:52
for another 45 minutes or so, but I couldn't finish my report without a keyboard.
00:49:56
I was in the office storage room with my back to the door. When I turned around, there was a man leaning on the doorframe.
00:50:03
He was wearing a scary clown mask. He was calm and cocky, and he told me, you're early.
00:50:10
He knew my routine. I was kind of frozen for a second. He rushed toward me, and I swung the keyboard at him
00:50:16
like a baseball bat. To this day, I can see some of the keys flying off in slow motion.
00:50:21
He pushed me against a bookcase hard. My vision went white. I think my bell got rung pretty good because there's a couple seconds I can't account for.
00:50:30
He had my right hand pinned up near my head. He grabbed at my skirt and ripped it.
00:50:35
I thought he was trying to pull off my lanyard that had a key card and physical keys to the building.
00:50:40
I tried to hit him, but I couldn't get any leverage. He was so close to me. Nothing I did got any response until I tried to pull the mask off.
00:50:49
That's when he pulled the knife. He rubbed the knife over my face. He cut my cheek and showed me my blood on the blade.
00:50:56
He called me a whore. He told me to undress and when I refused, he put the knife under my collarbone,
00:51:02
right at the subclavian artery and told me he would paint the walls red. He raped me.
00:51:08
When I yelled and begged him to stop, he laughed and asked who was supposed to hear me scream.
00:51:13
He stopped and told me to get on my knees. For the first time, he didn't have the knife to my chest or throat.
00:51:20
I didn't think about it. I grabbed the knife by the blade and ran. Running up the stairs, I kept feeling something weird on the handrail.
00:51:28
It turns out it wasn't the handrail that was weird. It was my hand. I started to run outside, but realized I didn't know where he was.
00:51:36
Our old building was like a maze. I started to go to my desk, but stopped and hid under another investigator's desk.
00:51:43
I couldn't find my cell phone, and I called 911 from the desk phone. It took a couple of tries,
00:51:49
having to remember to dial 99 before dialing out. I vividly remember hiding under the desk,
00:51:55
trying to whisper to the dispatcher, and watching the blood run down my fingers and pool on the ground.
00:52:01
Our building was supposed to be secure, and the responding police officers had no way to gain entry.
00:52:07
I had to leave the desk and walk through two doors and a hallway to let them in.
00:52:11
The whole time I was expecting him to pop out, but he didn't. It took law enforcement a while to clear the building.
00:52:17
They didn't have keys, were unfamiliar with the maze-like layout, and had to search every body bag.
00:52:23
The man in the clown mask wasn't found. I was released from the ER several hours later.
00:52:28
My supervisor drove me home, but we first had to go back to the building to collect my wallet and keys.
00:52:34
It was dreamlike. seeing the red and blue lights illuminate the area. Officers and deputies patrolling in pairs
00:52:41
in the pouring rain reminded me of a scene from a movie. After the scene was processed,
00:52:45
my co-workers cleaned my blood from the office, stairs, desk, doors, and wall. An email went out
00:52:52
to the majority of the staff telling them not to report until 0800 hours. When my co-workers,
00:52:58
who are also my partners and best friends, went downstairs to prepare everything for autopsy,
00:53:03
they found evidence that he had been waiting for me in the autopsy suite. Arranged on the back of an evidence cart next to an exam table were long strips of red duct tape.
00:53:14
Two long pieces, two shorter pieces. The red duct tape was dog-eared, which is never done with evidence.
00:53:21
As it was described to me, they were ready for someone at the floor level to be able to easily grab, ready to go.
00:53:27
If I had been going down to process bodies in my usual routine, I would have walked backwards pulling a gurney to that exact spot.
00:53:35
No arrest has ever been made. The only DNA that was recovered from my clothing wound up belonging to my infant son
00:53:42
from where I had held him before going to work. The investigation of my case was transferred from one jurisdiction to another
00:53:49
as the attack happened in a county building. This resulted in twice as many law enforcement officers being involved in various ways The detectives investigating my case forgot to flag it as confidential resulting in an unknown number of deputies reading details of my case
00:54:07
One deputy shared details of my case on a hookup app. One high-ranking officer shared the details
00:54:15
with their family, and that is how it came to you in the first place. That night turned my world
00:54:20
upside down. I moved, changed cars, my kids changed schools, and I ultimately resigned.
00:54:25
The new facility that we moved into a month later is state-of-the-art, with cameras, alarms,
00:54:31
and ballistics glass, but I was never again comfortable being alone in the morgue at night.
00:54:36
I will always have to live with the knowledge that someone very smart, collected, and comfortable
00:54:40
in a morgue is still out there. We know that he had been in the building at least twice before
00:54:46
and likely once after. I don't know what exactly he had planned, but I'm thankful for a random
00:54:52
faulty keyboard spacebar. I'm okay. It took a while of not being okay to be where I am now.
00:54:59
I wanted to write to you because I think sometimes the person part of your stories gets overlooked.
00:55:05
I found and reached out to the person who initially shared my story, but I think I freaked
00:55:10
them out. Perhaps they were concerned that I was the perpetrator. Oops. If you have any questions
00:55:16
about details or you need clarification, I'm happy to unscramble this. Thank you for your time.
00:55:24
So. Wow. So we told a story that was third hand and not the person's story to tell. I don't think
00:55:33
that the person who wrote in had malicious intent, but I think this is a very good lesson for all of
00:55:41
us. Um, when we think about, uh, what we're doing and how we're talking and who we're talking about.
00:55:49
So our apologies to you, um, who had to hear her story on a podcast. That's the last thing that we
00:55:56
want to happen. And that's, you know, that's just, that's not what we're trying to do and it's not
00:56:01
what it's about and we should have thought it through. And we're going to try our best to keep
00:56:06
aware of this and to keep you in mind so that we avoid mistakes like this in the future. And so
00:56:16
George and I have decided that we're going to donate $10,000 to the Rape, Abuse and Incest
00:56:23
National Network to RAINN. And we thank you for your understanding and for writing in and
00:56:28
communicating with me and letting us retell your story the way you wanted it told.
00:56:37
Okay, we are back in 2026. Yeah, that whole experience with the woman hearing her own story on our podcast with someone else
00:56:51
telling it, sending it in and telling it incorrectly was really one of, like, I don't know,
00:56:58
one of the most, of course, humbling, but also like really self-assessing moments on this podcast
00:57:06
for me. Because it was like, we're just reading stuff and trying to get, like, quote unquote,
00:57:11
trying to get our work done. And this as a possibility, of course, just never would have
00:57:16
entered my mind. And now, I mean, it felt so awful. And I think that it didn't enter our mind and then
00:57:24
it did and it hasn't left. You know, like when we tour and go to cities, we do stories based in
00:57:30
whatever city we're in or state we're in. And you're always like, when it's a recent case,
00:57:34
you're always like, what if that person's like best friend or cousin or something is in the
00:57:39
audience? You know, how would I want them to react to this? Because you can't help it, but
00:57:45
you want to make sure you're doing it in a way that doesn't feel gross. Yeah. And it was really, I remember emailing with this person and they were incredibly fair
00:57:56
and incredibly just straightforward about like not really being sure how they feel,
00:58:02
not liking it. And I basically said, we can do any version of what you would like to do.
00:58:08
We can take the entire thing down. We can take, you know, blah, blah, blah, whatever. And so
00:58:12
what it ended up being and what you hear in this episode is what they asked to do,
00:58:17
which is essentially replace the incorrect one with the correct one, which is their own story.
00:58:22
And I think that was incredibly generous of them to allow us to do that and allow us to make that
00:58:27
change on the show. I felt very, very lucky that that's what their decision was and that
00:58:34
they shared that story with us. Definitely. Okay. Now we're going to go back and finish up this last batch of Haunted Hometowns.
00:58:42
This is called Stabbed by a Ghost by Lacey. Whoa. Dear Karen, Georgia, Stephen, and respective pets.
00:58:50
I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller, as all of my hometown murders have been covered by y'all already.
00:58:56
But I saw Stephen. She probably lives somewhere fucked up. But I saw Stephen was looking for some spooky ooky kooky.
00:59:02
Oh, honey. Experiences for a Minnesota how to throw my hat in the ring. Oh, sweetie.
00:59:08
I was taking a sip of Diet Coke when she sped spooky ooky kooky. That almost came out my nose
00:59:14
I saw But then she goes on to say This summer I was stabbed by a fucking ghost What?
00:59:21
I know how ridiculous that sounds, but hear me out I worked for my family's bed and breakfast this summer
00:59:26
My family had been divided on whether the house was haunted or not And until I started working there
00:59:30
I was firmly in the not haunted camp I had stayed there as a guest from time to time
00:59:34
But I had never spent more than a few days in the house Once I started working there
00:59:37
I experienced little things that I would chalk up to natural phenomena Like my bedroom door swinging open
00:59:42
or shut all or all the window blinds flying up mid piss. Mid piss. That's terrifying.
00:59:50
Can you imagine? You're just and that's. Horrible. And you have to finish peeing Yeah Yeah That horrifying That a funny ghost though Yeah That kind of great Something something mid Okay Being a skeptic I totally wrote all of this off until I was the only one on duty one night
01:00:06
which you can't write it off because then they're going to be like, oh, yeah? Well, let me really show you.
01:00:11
I was working on preparing some banana bread and a savory bread pudding for the next morning's breakfast.
01:00:16
Okay. Yeah. I placed the bread in the oven, assembled the pudding to soak overnight, and had thoroughly cleaned the kitchen.
01:00:22
I went to the back laundry room to work on turning a few loads of laundry while the bread baked in the oven.
01:00:27
About 30 minutes into baking, I went to the kitchen to check on the bread. I went to slip my hands into the oven mitt and was promptly greeted by a fucking paring knife stabbing me in between my ring finger and middle finger.
01:00:39
Whoa. I removed the knife and found the first aid kit. I went to go curse out my mother for leaving a knife in the oven mitt when my blood ran cold and I remembered that I was the only one in the house.
01:00:52
Being a skeptic I used to be I tried to find rational explanation for why a Pairing knife would be blade up inside
01:00:58
An oven mint and then it says Hint there's no rational explanation It was not A knife I had used in the breakfast
01:01:06
Prep and it was usually kept In a drawer along with the other pairing Knives I racked my brain
01:01:12
For hours trying to wonder if I had truly put the Knife in the mint in some sort of
01:01:15
I'll remember why this is here later Scenario but then I finally came To the conclusion that the ghost was real and probably
01:01:22
madame or me for taking for talking shit about him all summer i apologized out loud to the ghost
01:01:27
and went to the doctor once someone else came home now i've just got a fun little scar to remind me
01:01:32
of why ghosts are real and you shouldn't call them imaginary sobs lots of love lacy i mean oh
01:01:39
then she said i withheld the name of the bmb because i didn't want you to say it on air but
01:01:43
if you're curious i will write back would love to have you guys come visit it's got lots of lots of
01:01:48
ghosts and antique furniture oh well we're there that's everything i need yeah because i was thinking
01:01:54
i was thinking oh well if you keep obviously if you keep your oven mitt in the same drawer
01:01:59
as those knives right but yeah she wouldn't be scared if that were the truth she'd be like she
01:02:04
would have already checked and else you would feel it right yeah she just used the oven mitt they
01:02:10
were out it sounds like man when a fucking ghost cuts you move leave it's so crazy when ghosts can
01:02:17
move shit around which is why i don't think it's real i mean look listen do you think okay go ahead
01:02:26
what like i think ghosts don't haunt me because i'm like oh cool i'd be like great that's funny
01:02:31
yeah i don't i wonder i wonder if it is locational situational or like about the people
01:02:40
i just don't think it's what we think it is enough that any of that would be true or matter.
01:02:47
Yeah. Like, I just don't think it's a old person who's dead being like, I'm going to make this girl freak out when she's peeing.
01:02:55
You know what I mean? I'm going to stab her in between her fingers. Right. But then I think that's also having been a person who has a ghost story,
01:03:05
the frustration where you're like, well, this is the thing that happened. Maybe in and of itself, it isn't insane or like you could explain it,
01:03:12
but it that's not the explanation and i'm telling you because i was there and and it doesn't make
01:03:17
you feel any better about you experiencing that thing yeah someone being like yeah well that
01:03:22
didn't happen you know like people anytime i tell my ghost story they're like you had sleep paralysis
01:03:27
yeah it's like no because i've had sleep paralysis and i know the difference i know what that feels
01:03:31
why do they need to do that well because i do that too they want to solve it yeah i mean even
01:03:36
other experiences i've actually had i've been like well i had an active imagination or whatever
01:03:40
the fuck yeah why can't i just be like that was fun right or just it's uncomfortable just to leave
01:03:46
it with anything's possible in this weird world yeah um is there a man in the crawl space or is
01:03:53
it just a ghost hi georgia karen steven elvis mimi dotty frank and george i will be at your
01:03:59
fort lauderdale show on the 5th november 5th i cannot wait to see you guys so my ghost story
01:04:04
haunting comes from my hometown of hamilton new jersey yes that's the same place of the megan
01:04:10
conca murder a side note i hope i pronounced her last name right side note i went to the same
01:04:16
elementary schools um her a few years after this happened so san the elementary school was very big
01:04:23
on stranger danger lessons that they tore that assholes to house down and made it into a park
01:04:28
called megan's place so the family didn't have to keep being reminded with that house um and our
01:04:34
school used to take us there once a year to remind us of the true dangers of going with people we
01:04:39
don't know and that's the megan's law murder where megan's law came into play yeah or started
01:04:44
anyways yeah um anyway i was about 10 years old when my dad finally moved us out of an apartment
01:04:50
and into a house the family that lived there before us was an older couple who built the house
01:04:55
when the wife died of old age um parentheses might i add she died in the house oh good he decided it
01:05:02
was time to sell the house and go into a home i remember the first time i walked into this house
01:05:07
and the weird feeling I got. I chalked it up to all the old people's furniture being in the house
01:05:11
and the wife's sewing room being untouched since she had died. Her sewing room became my bedroom once we moved in.
01:05:18
Oh, no. Weird things started happening as soon as we moved, such as things being misplaced that no one could remember moving,
01:05:25
weird noises that my dad would explain by saying, the house is settling and you're just freaking yourself out.
01:05:31
The house is just screaming and you're just freaking out. Why don't you like screaming? You're a child.
01:05:35
The house is screaming in pain. It's perfectly normal. And you wouldn't know we've always lived in apartments.
01:05:39
That's right. You don't understand that houses have feelings like people and skin.
01:05:43
Only pain, but still a feeling. Okay. So fast forward a year later, my first night all alone in the house.
01:05:51
Oh I was using the computer in my dad room chatting with friends on aim Oh yay When I heard footsteps walk by the doorway right under the staircase I ignored it as I thought it was the quote house settling Uh
01:06:05
And kept chatting away. Shortly after the first pair of footsteps, I heard multiple pairs of footsteps running,
01:06:11
paired with giggling. No giggling, please. Home alone giggling. Being the idiot child I was, I decided it was okay for me to go investigate.
01:06:20
As soon as my feet hit the floor, all sounds stopped. Oh, that's creepy. I figured it was my imagination and went back upstairs to carry the on I aming my friends.
01:06:33
Once I got upstairs, the footsteps and the giggling started again. Oh, my God. This time I figured it was my dad playing a prank on me since he did this often.
01:06:40
I ran back downstairs yelling, this isn't funny. I looked out the window and when I saw his truck wasn't there, that's when I really started to panic.
01:06:49
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I grabbed the landline and ran into my bedroom and locked the door.
01:06:53
That's when I heard heavy footsteps banging up the basement steps and the sound of someone banging on the basement door.
01:07:00
No. My dad kept it locked since he was convinced someone was going to break in through the basement.
01:07:05
Yeah, they are. I climbed under my bed and started calling my sisters for them to come get me.
01:07:10
As soon as there was a break in the banging, I bolted out of my house and down the street.
01:07:14
About five minutes later, my sister's boyfriend picked me up and he had me wait in the cars.
01:07:19
He checked the house to make sure no one was in there. No one was. he decided to take me home with him until my dad was able to come and get me i don't like that either
01:07:27
since that day my dad made a joke about having a man living in the crawl space in his room
01:07:34
anything anytime anything weird happens the man in the crawl space is at fault for it
01:07:38
like when my dad eats all the ice cream sandwiches and doesn't remember doing it
01:07:42
thank you for reading my haunting slash ghost story allison oh that was that's so so scary
01:07:49
giggling yeah nobody wants giggling you don't like you don't think about it until like
01:07:54
being by yourself and hearing giggling did i ever tell you that time that i was by myself
01:07:59
in my house this was before i got george so i didn't have dogs okay and i was sitting there
01:08:04
trying to i was trying to finish some writing and so it was dead silent in the house and had
01:08:10
been for like an hour straight and i heard directly next to my ear a zipper zipped up
01:08:16
what and i fucking oh no sorry i had gotten george because i grabbed her leash and was like come with
01:08:24
me and we just walked out the door i went to the dog park and then i called my friend rob because
01:08:29
i was just like this is you're the only person i can tell this here that sounds so weird but i just
01:08:34
heard something it was just it wasn't in the distance it was like someone zipped their coat
01:08:40
next to me that's so creepy and it was very clear it wasn't like oh this it sounded like
01:08:46
a zipper it was a zipper zipping like a one of the plastic zippers on a 70s ski jacket yeah like
01:08:52
that really you know like how serial killers wear yes like ed kemper oh my god you know fucking ted
01:08:58
bundy had some sweet ass fucking 70s jacket he probably on his 70s ski jacket left the ski lift
01:09:05
that was what to do because you'd be like yeah i went skiing over the winter break yeah i was up at
01:09:10
snowbird how much money would one of those tags that says ted bundy's name on it go for
01:09:15
Oh, I would say in the $500,000 age. In this day and age? These people who love serial killers so much?
01:09:23
These weirdos. Oh my God, these people who love... What kind of monsters? Okay. Let's see.
01:09:31
Okay. Yeah, there's something about being home alone, and I don't know how you'd do that.
01:09:35
Like having a house where there's multiple rooms, like I have to turn all the lights on when I'm alone.
01:09:42
Yeah. Yeah, but I swear the dogs saw everything because they hear everything. George hears everything.
01:09:48
She knows when people are walking up the street from half a block away and starts barking.
01:09:55
So that's like, if anything, it's just like a nice warning call. Fucking safe. Any zipper people come in, George is going to regulate.
01:10:05
She didn't on that one, though. She was like, what? We're leaving? I'm supposed to be scared of this?
01:10:09
You do this all the time. okay okay here we go grandpa's haunting me and that's okay hi karen georgia steven cats and dogs
01:10:20
i've been listening to mfm for a while now it's brought a change to my life i could have never
01:10:25
expected thanks for helping my socially awkward self make new friends and gain some confidence in
01:10:30
myself oh yay that's what we're talking about britney hell yeah okay all right when i was three
01:10:37
years old, my grandpa died. He'd been in an accident at work and lived in a vegetative state
01:10:41
for quite some time. Oh no. When I was born, that's where he was. Oh God, that family. That's tough.
01:10:47
It was an incredibly tough time for my family, but most of us made it out okay. A couple years
01:10:51
later, I was at my grandma's house, a split level with the rec room downstairs and the kitchen right
01:10:56
above it. While my grandma was in the kitchen, she could hear me carrying on a conversation
01:11:00
through the vents. Oh, I love this. I know. When I came up for a snack, she asked me what I was
01:11:05
doing down there talking to the man i replied my grandma asked me to describe what he looked like
01:11:11
but may have regretted that decision as i described my deceased grandfather to a t
01:11:16
i of course thought nothing of it and went about my child business with your child briefcase yes i have no memory of this but i also don't have memories
01:11:27
from before first grade fair enough a few things happened as i was growing up but nothing too
01:11:31
notable. A couple of things moved or fell, but it wasn't anything I was afraid of.
01:11:35
Fast forward to having my first live-in boyfriend. He would wake up with scratches
01:11:40
every now and then and made me nervous. I remember my aunt having a picture of her
01:11:44
and her prom date on her dresser and his face was scratched out on the glass and
01:11:48
on the picture. Whoa. It was weird. One morning I remember waking up to just one
01:11:54
of my hanging plants swaying, but not the other. Oh, I hate that. that's the worst oh don't worry about it that's just a wind in here oh shit it's not
01:12:05
there was an air circulation there as the window was closed and the heater was off so it didn't
01:12:11
make any sense so i decided to try to make some contact i grabbed a voice recorder and started
01:12:15
asking questions okay wait here we go though these though these questions i through these
01:12:20
questions i learned it was my grandpa and he didn't like my boyfriend he was right we aren't
01:12:25
together anymore and that was it those were the only two questions that were answered holy shit
01:12:31
i felt less scared afterwards and i didn't have anything of note and i didn't have anything of
01:12:37
note after happen after that i do remember the night i went into labor with my child i felt an
01:12:42
overwhelming sense of love and protection i hadn't even gone into labor but i felt like he was there
01:12:47
and he knew um a couple of small things have happened since then but they're not as exciting
01:12:53
But that's my ghost story and I'm happy I was able to share with everyone. Thank you for all you do.
01:12:58
And you don't have to fuck politeness if the ghost is your grandpa who really just wants love.
01:13:03
SSDGM, Brittany. Yes. I love that he like physically scratched up her boyfriend.
01:13:09
Yeah. And the aunt's photo. It's almost like I can't really tell you anything. I can't.
01:13:16
If I tell you I don't like your boyfriend, you're just going to love him more because that's how it always works.
01:13:20
Right. But instead, I'm going to like horror movie creep you out about your boyfriend.
01:13:26
I'm going to make the boyfriend break up with you by scaring the ever loving shit out of him.
01:13:30
Oh, that's so good. That's great. Okay. Give me a sign, Grandpa. And just scratches up the face of your.
01:13:35
It's just like crazy white eyes. Yeah. Child. What if he's like, I don't like your dog.
01:13:40
Yeah. Just scratches up your. Grandpa, you don't get to choose my life. Grandpa, you have all the.
01:13:44

01:14:23
stated how I feel about Sacramento let's go in Orange County and despite me having fucking panic attacks there

01:15:00
I want to be between the pie eating contest then my favorite murder live and then like the pig eating contest
01:15:08

01:15:15
Right. Yeah. Your weight and pig. When you're waiting pig, if you can eat your weight and pig.
01:15:22
And then it's like, well, I don't really want that anymore. Oh wait this is my favorite thing Georgia texted me at like four in the morning You up Cause you texted me i woke up at four of course and i looked at my phone and you were you just texted the coffee was a mistake
01:15:38
yes at like midnight and then i was like you know last time i told you i was up all night you were
01:15:42
like text me i'm up yes i texted you at 4 a.m i think i woke up like a half an hour later and it
01:15:47
was so exciting because i just am it there's you're never lonelier than when you're up in the middle
01:15:52
the night by yourself. And it was like, I had a message waiting where you're like,
01:15:56
hey, you up? What's going on? But the pig thing, I said, I'm just laying here listening to the
01:16:01
pig people book, which everyone needs to fucking download immediately because I fall asleep to it
01:16:05
at night, even though it's like the best book ever. What's the title? It's called No Stone
01:16:09
Unturned. It's about NecroSearch. I think I talked about it way in the beginning of the podcast,
01:16:14
but it's NecroSearch, who is that really awesome organization that finds clandestine graves.
01:16:20
There's all these different kinds of people in it who are sciencey and otherwise.
01:16:26
And they're called the experts and they're called the pig people because they started burying pigs to see how decomposition worked and how it made graves look and how you could see how long a body was buried based on the foliage and based on the bugs and decomposition.
01:16:41
So I listened to that to fall asleep and I'm like, why isn't this working? It's so crazy.
01:16:47
It's so relaxing. i'm not i'm dreaming of pigs no stone unturned listen to it it's fast um okay go sorry no no no
01:16:56
um okay so it's sacramento sacramento plenty of shitting on sacramento then anyways this is my
01:17:03
ghost story the day after i graduated from college i moved from northern california straight to los
01:17:08
angeles scary enough in and of itself um my boyfriend and i literally walked the graduation
01:17:13
stage and a few hours later jumped into our u-haul truck for the six-hour drive i love that i love it
01:17:20

01:17:31
in the car and go there's no reason don't hang out and like visit and do all this it's just kind
01:17:36
to like and on to the next one yeah life's short um okay i was starry-eyed as i exited on vine street
01:17:44
and thought how amazing the city looked it does from that weird little hill i found a job quickly
01:17:50
as a barista in a small theater cafe in hipster silver lake i thought it was a very cool gig the
01:17:56
customers were semi-famous comedians and people i recognized on tv i mean there's nothing better
01:18:02
The cafe also hosted fun improv and comedy shows in their small black box theater
01:18:07
The Lyric, it's The Lyric Oh, okay, yes I'm like hell bent on guessing what place this is
01:18:12
Yes It's The Lyric Kurt Braunahler, our friend, used to go in there all the time
01:18:16
The Lyric Hyperion? Yes Yes It's a great place Okay, sorry Okay, perfect We figured it out
01:18:22
The afternoons and night shows were fun and lively However, I felt a sense of dread as all the customers and audience members left one by one
01:18:30
and an aura of evil lurked in the cafe at night that place is fucking absolutely haunted really
01:18:36
i know it i've been in there i've been in the thought in the back room it's terrifying
01:18:40
so well she's gonna why do i even talking during this i don't know i'm no you're fine
01:18:44
adding weird shit no you're fine okay um okay naively i accepted to close the cafe by myself
01:18:52
every night naively it that one word for it that meant i a five foot 90 pound female with severe anxiety had to close the cafe at 11 Oh honey don do it I feel like I need this job
01:19:08
You know, she said yes to it because then she's like, I don't have to talk to anyone while I close.
01:19:12
I'll just sweep. It'll be no big deal. Leave me alone. Well, I was responsible for cleaning and locking up the cafe and theater, which would take about 45 minutes.
01:19:20
The cafe was extremely quiet as I mopped the floors. and suddenly I heard a roar of happy cheers, whistles, and laughter
01:19:27
that lasted approximately three seconds coming from the audience of the theater room.
01:19:32
Uh-huh. I dropped them up and peeked into the control room upstairs to see if there was still a show going on.
01:19:38
I looked out of the window from the booth. No. And saw a dim red light emitting from the back,
01:19:45
from the small black box theater, and a lone chair in the middle of the stage. No, I felt like a sinister being was watching up at me from down on the stage.
01:19:56
And I quickly locked up without cleaning the rest of the cafe. A few days later, my coworker who had the morning shift texted me and confronted me that I should put the pepper shakers away properly and that I and I shouldn't put them on the floor again.
01:20:11
Oh, my God. Then he sent me a picture of the three pepper shakers lined up neatly on the floor in the middle of the cafe.
01:20:17
that was impossible since i would never have moved those items on the floor that's just weird
01:20:22
i thought he was pranking me one time i had to cover the same co-workers morning shift
01:20:27
even though i was scheduled to close that previous night as i was closing for the night
01:20:31
i made sure the salt the salt and pepper shakers were in the same exact spot on the kitchen table
01:20:36
the next day i opened the cafe at 6 a.m and the pepper shakers were moved neatly aligned on the
01:20:43
floor again in the front of the cafe, even though I'd made sure to place them properly
01:20:48
the night before. It freaked me out so much that I just sat on the outside patio waiting for the morning
01:20:57
rush customers to come in. Last and scariest event that led me to quitting the job happened when I was closing the cafe
01:21:04
again. I had taken the trash out by using the back entrance, but had not locked up the door since
01:21:12
it was one of the last things to do when closing i continued to clean and count the till when i
01:21:19
looked up and saw a skinny and tall homeless man press his face into the glass of the entrance door
01:21:24
his eyes were round and dark and his squished face on the glass had this obtuse and evil smile
01:21:31
he then darted away as i remembered i didn't lock the back door i quickly rushed to close the back
01:21:38
gate and saw a tall dark figure rushing towards me through the gate screen i then slammed the door
01:21:44
and locked it because of the front of the cafe had these huge glass panes as walls i turned off
01:21:50
all the lights in the cafe so that he could not see me and quickly hid in the corner of the store
01:21:55
this was already scary enough as i knew ghosts were probably haunting the theater too no i called
01:22:01
my boyfriend to come pick me up a 30 minute drive and i quit the job holy shit fuck it's been three
01:22:09
years since i moved and i have a better job i now have a higher standards when finding jobs in los
01:22:13
angeles one make sure it has a parking lot and two have co-workers close with you oh my god your
01:22:20
tiny murderino tracy oh my i am going into lyric hyperion tomorrow and asking for ghost stories
01:22:27
immediately Oh my god that so scary It so scary and that idea that you have to race the guy to the back door is fucked Remember when you were 20 and you thought you were fucking invincible
01:22:40
And like you could close late at night alone and leave the door open and everything would be fine.
01:22:46
Well, you're just kind of like, oh, this is fine. Yeah, living my life. Yeah. Oh, my God, Tracy.
01:22:51
That was a really good story. That was great. I think we should end on that one.
01:22:55
Yeah. Steven, these were awesome. Good job, Steven. Those were really fun. Yeah.
01:23:00
They were so fun to read. Oh, my God. I love getting scared. I'm scared. We need to have like a side podcast of this.
01:23:08
We could just keep doing our hometowns as this for a little while. I know. Well, yeah.
01:23:15
Yeah. Yes? Yes, for sure. I love them. Listen, here's what we're going to say. Send in your hometowns.
01:23:20
Look and listen. Send in your hometowns. If you have spooky, scary stuff like that.
01:23:24
We want to hear it. Okay. I feel like not even just spooky scary, but like thrilling, weird shit.
01:23:29
Yes. You know what I mean? Like racing a guy to the door is great. That's great.
01:23:33
I mean, near misses. Come on. Right. And also the thing of like, and then after that, she knew like, yeah, you have to, you
01:23:42
can't just let somebody schedule you because they're cheap at the place and they only want
01:23:45
to pay one person. Yeah. Like, no, dude, it's two people or like, I can't close at night.
01:23:51
The salt and pepper shaker thing is the scariest thing to me. That's nuts. Because like if he hadn't said anything to her about it, she wouldn't have known that was going on.
01:24:00
That's so scary. It's like in a weird position and moved and like not supposed to be where it is.
01:24:05
And it's just like inconspicuously placed. That's fucking terrifying. It's so scary.
01:24:14
And we're back. So this episode was originally titled The Halloween Special. But if we were naming it today based on the episode, maybe we would call it My Two Blouses.
01:24:27
Oh, that would be a perfect one. Or Cat on Prozac, which would be tip of the hat to old Mimi.
01:24:33
Or we'll name it Podcast when Georgia talked about us coming together and having this baby that we named Podcast.
01:24:39
Oh, my God. All right. Well, thanks for listening, guys. We appreciate it. And let's go back to 2017 to say goodbye.
