Carter Cottage; A Parnormal Investigation

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.240
Broadcasting from the world's most beautiful beaches
in sunny Storida. Here's the soldier,

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.400
storyteller, historian, and maybe a
bit of a hell raiser. It's Dave

3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:22.399
Carter, and this is the Dave
Carter Show. Well, here we go

4
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:31.399
again with another rolli king impromptu,
spontaneously combusting episode of this sometimes odd show.

5
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.079
Now, the program today is going
to be a bit of a departure

6
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.159
from departure from No. No,
that's normal. Actually, there will be

7
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.079
the occasional untoward remark. I just
haven't thought of one yet, but I'm

8
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.880
fairly sure it'll happen. Um.
What's really gonna happen on this show definitely

9
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.920
is that we're going to bring in
a truly delightful couple, just a great,

10
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.119
great friend of mine from going from
way back in the early two thousands

11
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.399
or the late nineties. I believe
my friend Paul used to work with me

12
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.319
at a watch repair shop in Panama
City, mall years ago, and now

13
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.920
he's moved on to different adventures,
and he and his wife are involved in,

14
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:15.400
among other things, paranormal investigations.
And I've had some rather odd things

15
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.680
happen around the house here at the
Carter Bungalow. Things of a paranormal nature.

16
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.560
I think lights turning on and off
by themselves, for example, odd

17
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.840
sounds tapping, or the sound of
someone knocking on the door at night,

18
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.319
mill of night but no one's there, the sound of a chair scraping across

19
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.079
the floor late at night, early
in the morning. And I have to

20
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:42.239
be honest and say that I've not
experienced anything like that before outside of watching

21
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.519
some television shows and things of that
nature. So we're gonna let Paul and

22
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.599
Nikki do what they do, bring
in their equipment and see what they can

23
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.799
learn, and then we'll have an
interview here in studio after the fact,

24
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.159
so stay tuned for that. But
first I want to congratulate an artist on

25
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.400
having the number one country music song
on iTunes. You may have heard of

26
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.879
it. It's called Try that in
a small town. And I should say

27
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:13.080
at the outset, I'm not a
country music aficionado. Far from it.

28
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.400
I did listen to some of the
old school stuff back when I was driving

29
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.639
eighteen wheelers across the country, and
I enjoyed, you know, mostly crazy

30
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.800
songs like my mommy is a truck
driving man, or it's hard to kiss

31
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.240
the lips at night, to chew
your ass out all day long. You

32
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.080
know, fun wholesome stuff like that. But top forty country music is just

33
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.719
hideous to me. It's just awful. I call it redneck rap. And

34
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.759
I enjoyed that, I guess about
as much as I would enjoy groping a

35
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.840
wet ferret in a fuse box.
And then here comes Jason al Dean's song

36
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:49.919
try That in a Small Town.
And rather than doing the typical drivel,

37
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.639
the hay baling nonsense, you normally
hear about pickup trucks and beer and babes,

38
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.879
and you know the stuff that makes
you wonder if these folks have family

39
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.280
trees that look like telephone poles.
Here comes Jason Aldean with a song that

40
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:08.639
has some substance to it that defends
ideas like tight knit communities where people look

41
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:15.960
after each other and they don't allow
marauding mobs and gangs of criminal misfits to

42
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.719
tear the place apart. For example, a verse in this song a song

43
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.039
called Try That in a Small Town, it says, quote sucker punch somebody

44
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.520
on a sidewalk, card jack an
old lady at a red light, pull

45
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.719
a gun on the owner of a
liquor store. You think it's cool,

46
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.719
We'll act a fool if you like, cuss out a cop, spit in

47
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.240
his face, stomp on the flag, light it up. Yeah, you

48
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.000
think you're tough, We'll try that
in a small town. See how far

49
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:49.240
you'll make it down the road.
That's some pretty stern language, isn't it.

50
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.479
And the left is predictably losing its
mind. I mean, who is

51
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.919
who's this Jason Aldean guy to say
that they are parts of this country where

52
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.000
you can't carjack people and get away
with it. Wow, Or you can't

53
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:05.639
commit an armed robbery, spitting a
CoP's face or sucker punch someone minding their

54
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:11.080
own business and expect people just to
stand there and let your dumb ass get

55
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.960
away with it. You mean to
tell me there are still some Americans out

56
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.480
here who are willing to defend themselves
and their communities against morons. Why that's

57
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:26.959
not right, that's not sensitive,
that's racist. Just ask Cheryl Crowe or

58
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.040
any of the precious little knitwits at
CMT who removed the song from their list.

59
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.920
CMT, which by the way,
should stand for cowwardly, mediocre and

60
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:42.279
timid. I mean that's how much
they suck. Even CMT is now tripping

61
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.279
all over itself to become the bud
light of the music industry. Well,

62
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.920
here's an idea I got. Here's
just do this. Let's compare the lyrics

63
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.879
I just read to you from Jason
Aldane's song the racist lyrics. Of course,

64
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.720
let's compare those lyrics with those of
an approved, certified cultural icon,

65
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.439
ice Cube. Shall we? Here
we go? So don't follow me up

66
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.360
and down your market, or your
little chop suey ass will be a target

67
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.800
of the nationwide boycott juice with the
people. That's what the boy got,

68
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.560
So pay respect to the black fist, or will burn your store right down

69
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.600
to a crisp and then we'll see
you. Because you can't turn the ghetto

70
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:28.800
into black Korea. I mean,
can you just can't you just feel the

71
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.399
inclusion? Right? I mean that
you can't you just feel the tolerance,

72
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.720
the open mindedness, the lack of
prejudice. There's nothing racist there? Right?

73
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:43.079
Or is that an example of mostly
peaceful artistry? You see, here's

74
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.480
the problem. The problem is at
the attitude so menacingly you're expressed by ice

75
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.240
Cube and so violently carried out in
the crime wave that it is that is

76
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:57.680
destroying major cities is precisely the kind
of cancer against which people who are not

77
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.480
held hostage in these progressive hell holes
are drawing a line. If there were

78
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.920
not a nationwide violent crime wave,
there would be no song taking a stand

79
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:11.040
against it. Is there only not
that hard to understand, is it.

80
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.680
I mean, people want to feel
safe in their homes and communities, and

81
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.759
there's nothing racist about that. The
fact is that even the mindless gnats who

82
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.600
rob, steal, an attack,
they want a refuge as well, where

83
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.399
they and the people close to them
will be safe from attack. It's normal.

84
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.240
Now, if you want to devise
a system whereby you get to go

85
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.920
out and steal property and assault people
and kill people to get what you want.

86
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.639
If you want to justify that kind
of thing and come up with whatever

87
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.680
rationale will roll trippingly off your tongue
and sound convincing to your ears, that's

88
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.600
on you, okay, But don't
kid yourself and don't lie to the rest

89
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.639
of us and pretend that it's racist
or irrational for the people that you prey

90
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.959
on to defend themselves just as you
would do if you were being attacked and

91
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:03.759
robbed. Don't bulls the rest of
us, and don't act surprised when communities

92
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:09.560
take care of each other. It's
not a foreign concept in America, at

93
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.240
least not yet. I would you
give me a hand with the bags?

94
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:23.000
Certainly you take the blonderm, I'll
take the one in the titen. So

95
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.600
all right, now we're gonna get
to the fun part. This is gonna

96
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.839
be fun. You see, a
long time ago, back in the nineties,

97
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.560
late nineties, I guess, early
two thousands, when I was after

98
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.439
duty, I worked part time and
a water repair shop in Panama City Mall,

99
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.319
and a young man came to work
with us. If memory serves correctly,

100
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:57.519
he was went to church with the
owner of the shop. I believe

101
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:03.120
his name is Paul Barnette. He's
a resident of Panama City and has been

102
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.920
since the earth cool to the dawn
of the Christian era, something like that,

103
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.879
pretty close to it, a little
bit before that. Actually, sorry,

104
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.040
I didn't even realize you were talking
to me. I'm still jamming out

105
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.680
to your intro music. I'm glad
you like it. In addition to doing

106
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.240
watch repair, Paul's a gentleman of
many talents. He's a pretty well versed

107
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.480
in martial arts. Does yeah,
studied martial arts for about seven years,

108
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.120
different variations from ninjatsu to uh taekwondo, pretty much everything. I just wanted

109
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:35.799
to learn as much as I could. Cool. Cool, Well, I

110
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.639
woul understand your good side then.
And he's involved in marketing Alba in Panama

111
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.480
City Beach and has all kind of
fun in that line of work. And

112
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.960
his wife, Nicki is here this
evening and they've been married here, right,

113
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.720
you said she said eight years,
and you said fifteen minutes or something

114
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.480
like that. Well, I think
I think we've moved up to twenty minutes

115
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:01.039
now. It's twenty minutes longer than
I deserved. That's great, And as

116
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.159
luck would have it, Paul and
Nicky also are involved in para normal investigations.

117
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.360
I'm involved in abnormal in the abnormal
realm. But it's a privilege to

118
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.679
welcome you guys to the show.
By the way, thank you for being

119
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.360
here. Well, thank you,
Dave. We are happy to have you,

120
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.879
happy to be here. I guess
we're not having you, you're having

121
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.639
us, but thank you. Anyway. Well, we're all having fun with

122
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.000
a certain guests that is here in
the in the cottage with us. Right,

123
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.960
So, you guys, this is
your second time to have been visiting

124
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.240
here in the house. And Becky
and I have noticed for some time that

125
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.279
there are things that you can't quite
explain. They're a flash of light will

126
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.200
go across the room. And when
we first got here, and we told

127
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.720
you some time back that there was
some sense of foreboding in the backside of

128
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.320
the house when we first arrived,
and we just weren't sure. It's like

129
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:58.080
you're being watched, and whoever was
watching wasn't especially thrilled that you were here.

130
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.080
You guys came over a few months
ago and determined that it was not

131
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.519
a menacing into to you. Is
that correct? No, I would say

132
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.159
more perpetually annoyed. You had said
there was something strange in the neighborhood.

133
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.799
That's what he thought, right,
Yes, And you gave us a call

134
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.679
or a Facebook message, which was
your first mistake. Yeah, I'm gonna

135
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.000
believe this. Yeah. And so
it was a state of what seemed like

136
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.159
perpetual annoyance, which I knew eventually
you would win over. I'm a kindred

137
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.519
spirit, yes, exactly. So
it was the you know, perpetual annoyance

138
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.399
get off my lawn right now.
Um, we'll get more into that in

139
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.399
just a minute, but just out
of curiosity, how did you and Nikki

140
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.879
get into the paranormal realm or looking
at this stuff? When did that start?

141
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.120
Well, when I was a kid, Ghostbusters was my jam, and

142
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.200
so I got a toy Proton pack
when I was a kid, and I

143
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.360
was like, I need a real
pro Tom pack. I need to really

144
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.200
do this. You were wearing when
you came into the house, right strapped

145
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.840
onto your back. Okay, yes, yes, well I had upgraded.

146
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.279
It wasn't the plastic one anymore.
Now, it was the custom made one.

147
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.000
But no, it was whenever I
was a kid, I always made

148
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.159
my mom tell me about scary stories
or you know, any haunted houses.

149
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:24.200
I just found it fascinating the history
of it, and I actually got into

150
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:30.399
paranormal investigating. Found out there was
a paranormal investigation group in Bay County and

151
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.440
I joined them and we went on
several investigations all throughout Bay County, including

152
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:41.000
the infamous Martin House, which is
Panama City's premier haunted house, as well

153
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.320
as different sites down on Harrison Avenue. And so that was just I got

154
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.120
to live out my one of my
dreams. And then I met Nikki twenty

155
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.919
five minutes ago now, and who
was counting? Okay, fine, who's

156
00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:00.960
counting? And she also really loved
the paranormal and investigating and anything to do

157
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.799
with hauntings. And we were kindred
spirits, and so we decided to hey,

158
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.399
we had to go ahead and get
married. And then we had a

159
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.960
honeymoon on Alcatraz at night, because
that's what you do when you're both into

160
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:20.159
paranormal stuff. As you honeymoon on
Alcatraz Island at night. Y'all don't know

161
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.679
what you do your wedding night.
You're not going to believe it. Yeah,

162
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.960
I mean, it's it's not the
story you expected on your wedding night.

163
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.200
I mean there was all kinds of
creaking, and there was all kinds

164
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.480
of you know, moaning and chains
and I got a cigarette. Yeah,

165
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.919
it was a good time had by
all right. Um, But was there

166
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.879
a certain point that you realized that
you were sensitive to to a different dimension.

167
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.679
I guess, for lack of a
better way to put it, well,

168
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.039
I think we all are. The
thing is, is you just kind

169
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.559
of figure out if you want to
explore that, Because I can kind of

170
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.159
give you an example. How many
times have you gone into somebody's house and

171
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.919
a lot of times you feel at
home there. You PLoP down on their

172
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.159
couch and you could almost take a
nap. You just feel comfortable and you

173
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.240
want to hang out there for hours. Versus if you go in somebody's house

174
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.840
and you just can't wait to leave. You just don't feel like you're welcome.

175
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.279
You just feel like, Okay,
I want to get out of here.

176
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.639
I wonder if I could fake a
sickness, you know, what would

177
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.039
they believe? And so that's kind
of that's the whole feeling of feeling the

178
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.639
energy and there's energy all around us, and you just kind of pick up

179
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.679
on that. And it depends on
if you want to really kind of explore

180
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.120
that energy and see what it does. And I started getting into that with

181
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.840
martial arts and doing brick breaking and
using energy, and tai chi is another

182
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:46.759
thing that explores that energy. And
so energy translates into paranorma investigating. So

183
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:52.399
you're saying, I guess that in
some sense, maybe varying degrees of sensitivity,

184
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.440
but we all have the capacity to
do that if on some level absolutely

185
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.080
wish if okay, Now, when
Nikki senses things, she sees things a

186
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.200
little differently. It's a different way
that she sends its things right right exactly.

187
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.679
I mean everybody kind of has their
own unique talents with this. For

188
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:15.200
example, Nikki will feel the energy
and she'll say, hey, it feels

189
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.639
like maybe there's somebody that's kind of
near us. It feels like somebody's watching

190
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.360
us. And I will sometimes be
able to pick up a few of the

191
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.080
details for it it feels like,
well, maybe that's it feels more like

192
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:30.679
a you know, older woman or
a you know, younger guy or an

193
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.279
older guy, and get a few
of those little details, and you know,

194
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.759
you can kind of the first rule
of paranel investigating is you want to

195
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.240
try to disprove a haunting, and
so you would take that Okay, well,

196
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.200
you validate those feelings. Okay,
I feel this. Now, can

197
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:54.279
I use equipment to you know,
corroborate those findings and those feelings or disprove

198
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.000
you know, us using whatever kind
of maybe happening exactly. Okay, if

199
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.519
somebody knocking at the or right now
versus nobody's there, but there's a sound,

200
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:09.639
right exactly, and so you know
you've seen everything from electromagnetic field detectors,

201
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:15.200
infrared cameras. UM, we use
a flea or detector, switched detects,

202
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.039
you know, heat or energy.
With that you any kind of piece

203
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:26.240
of equipment you have will is a
tool in your Batman arsenal tool belt for

204
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.000
param investigating. Let's talk a little
bit about some of the things that you've

205
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.080
done to kind of establish one of
the reasons why I want you guys to

206
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.399
come here. You've had some experience
with this. You guys went to the

207
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.879
Myrtles for those of you who aren't
familiar with that. It's a it's an

208
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.519
old plantation of sorts in Louisiana and
Saint Francisville, I believe, and it

209
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.200
is supposed to be one of the
most haunted houses in the country. And

210
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.759
you guys actually spent an evening there
and your hair is not white, so

211
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.519
you survived it. What was that? What was that like? So the

212
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.600
Myrtles is we've actually spent a couple
of evenings there, spent a couple of

213
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:04.639
nights. UM. It is a
old plantation and it is exactly what you

214
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:11.559
think of when you think of a
Louisiana plantation. And so it's a plantation

215
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.440
house that has a very unique and
storied history, full of murder, full

216
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:22.039
of you know, um, death, sickness, you know, happiness,

217
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:27.679
sadness. Everything happened there. Oh
sure. One of the probably most storied

218
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:33.159
things is, uh, there was
a judge who got shot. He there.

219
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.399
He hears a knock at the door, and he hears his name called.

220
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.120
He opens the door and there's a
gentleman on horseback with a shotgun who

221
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:45.879
then asks are you this person?
And he goes, yes, I'm I'm

222
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.840
him, and he shoots him.
He just shoots him, and he crawls

223
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.840
up to his wife, Sarah.
Uh, and he gets to the I

224
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:57.480
believe, eleventh step, seventeenth step. I'm sorry. That's why I asked

225
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.720
my wife too, because you're remembers
these things a lot better than I do

226
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.960
for at least twenty five minutes now. Yeah, he gets up to the

227
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:10.559
seventeenth step and he dies in her
arms, which is very tragic and very

228
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:15.720
sad. But one of the things
that supposedly you hear is the footsteps on

229
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.559
the steps. And my wife,
who was happening to be awake at the

230
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:23.920
time, I slept through everything.
Um, she hears the footsteps aren't you

231
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.799
Okay. I didn't say I was
good at Yes, no one ever accused

232
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.200
me of being good. That's two
of us. Okay, so you're asleep.

233
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:38.319
She senses something, yes, she
actually I wonder if I can coerce

234
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.039
her into talking. Uh, you
know what, We're gonna just put the

235
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.119
microphone right up to her so she
could tell. You don't have to lean

236
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.200
into it. We can hear you. But I mean, just yeah,

237
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.640
Um, yes, like I said, he was passed out cold, and

238
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.119
UM, I was wide awake because
you're in the most haunted house in America,

239
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.440
so you're not going to sleep unless
you're my husband. So I'm laying

240
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:06.319
there completely covered under the cover's head
to toe because again you have to be

241
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.680
under the covers in a haunted house. UM. And I hear what sounds

242
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:18.000
like boots stepping outside, not necessarily, not necessarily coming up the steps,

243
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.559
but there was a landing where the
room was. Um, and I could

244
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:26.839
hear distinct boots walking, and they
were you could tell that they were not

245
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:36.680
tennis shoes. They weren't normal shoes. They were very heavy step and I

246
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:45.160
probably heard maybe eight eight steps.
Um. Just kind of felt like it

247
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.519
was near the doorway. Um,
and kind of knowing what the landing looked

248
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.240
like, I could kind of tell
where it was. Um. Again,

249
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:57.200
he did not wake up at all. Um, it didn't scare me because

250
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:03.319
I I kind of did something to
happen. You know, you want something.

251
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:04.519
Yeah, that's why you're there in
the first place. That's why the

252
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:08.160
whole point and staying there. Yeah, so it was it was neat.

253
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.759
I thought it was neat to hear
the footsteps. And did you feel what

254
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:15.359
did you feel that you were in
any danger? Not at all. No,

255
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.640
I don't. I didn't get the
sense that anything was trying to scare

256
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.839
me or even that anything knew that
I was there. Okay, okay.

257
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.759
And one thing that was also really
cool, which I will say that I

258
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:34.559
sleep like the dead, which is
something I had to use that pun just

259
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.279
I've been waiting to use that all
night. And don't forget to tip your

260
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:42.920
way dress. Yes, I'm here
all night. She also heard music playing

261
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.319
and they downstairs, um room the
piano playing. It was not the piano

262
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.519
playing. Everybody asked me that if
it was a piano, because it's right

263
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:59.799
down Yeah. No, this was
almost like a record playing that sort of

264
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:04.119
me Musicum, and you're in this
old house where the walls are super thin,

265
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.279
you can hear everything. But the
section that we were in there was

266
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:12.000
no one else in it, so
it wasn't as if it was someone else

267
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.160
in one of the other rooms,
you know, playing music or something like

268
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.920
that. And I could distinctly hear
it, not underneath us, but kind

269
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:23.319
of off to the side of us, which is where the part. This

270
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.920
is not especially important, but I'm
curious, do you do you remember what

271
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.599
kind of music it was playing.
It was just instruments, it was it

272
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.039
was nothing, you know, no
words or anything like that. It was

273
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.759
just music. It sounded old time. Yeah, okay, kind of older

274
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:45.440
music. I'd like that. Then. Oh, and we get up the

275
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.519
next morning, Um, and we
go to down to breakfast and everything,

276
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:53.640
because it's a bed and breakfast,
right, And the women who work there

277
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.880
now they all leave and during the
night there is no one who works there

278
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.119
on property at all. Um.
I set for one person, you know

279
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:10.039
or something, but that person is
not walking around, right. You know,

280
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.920
you're given the room that we were
in. You were given the one

281
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.160
key to the house, and enjoy
good luck, you know. Um.

282
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.400
We we go and we're talking to
the people who work there in the morning.

283
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.960
And one thing I really like about
them is they don't coax you into

284
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:30.680
they're not they're not there to tell
you scary stories, but they want to

285
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.279
hear what you've seen and heard.
You know, they're really excited about it.

286
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.160
And she asked us if we had
heard anything, and I told her.

287
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.880
I was like, you know,
I heard the boot, you know,

288
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:47.680
footprints, and then I also heard
music playing in the middle of the

289
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.519
night. And she kind of looked
at her coworker and kind of grinned a

290
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:55.279
little bit, and I was like, what, what's going on? And

291
00:21:55.319 --> 00:22:00.440
she said that when they had gotten
there that morning, um and went and

292
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.720
to open up the house and to
open up the parlor room and the dining

293
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.240
room, living room areas, that
one of the lamps was on. So

294
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:14.279
we had been there, We had
been in the room next to that until

295
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.359
four o'clock in the morning. No
lights in the house were on, none

296
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.200
except for the rooms that we were
Wow. Okay, yeah, so something

297
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.200
in the parlor had turned the lights
on, and I had heard music coming

298
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.279
from the parlor as well, and
I told her that and she was she

299
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.519
was just like, yeah, that
that happens a lot. Okay, Well

300
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.640
that that sort of that that sort
of thing is happening here too, with

301
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.720
lights coming on periodically and that kind
of thing. So you guys have myrtles

302
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:42.400
has not been the only place that
you've been. I mean, you've been

303
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.640
to New Orleans and oh yeah,
New Orleans. Question around this area.

304
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.359
This area has got quite a few
places that are supposedly haunted. Um.

305
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.000
Of course, you know, I've
been to like the Queen Mary Tombstone,

306
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:03.279
Arizona Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia as
a resident or just visiting. Oh well

307
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.839
you have to ask them that,
but that's okay. I was just visiting.

308
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.279
That was too easy. Sorry,
I got off on good behavior and

309
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:15.279
I'm here, okay, okay.
So that kind of sets things up for

310
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.839
the listeners as to what you're for, lack of a better term, street

311
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:23.279
cred is the cottage here. I
would say that my place here is about

312
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.279
maybe four hundred fifty five square feet. It's not a large place. It's

313
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:32.359
a collection of I believe six six
cottages around the little courtyard, a beautiful

314
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.759
little courtyard that's been set up.
The place has been here since the forties.

315
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.720
My understanding, it was a fishing
camp, and it then became like

316
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:44.440
a motor lodge type thing over the
years and with people passing through. And

317
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.400
so we called you guys out here
a couple a few months ago. What

318
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.559
did what did you since when when
y'all came here the first time, well,

319
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:57.000
whenever we came here. One thing
I noticed is two different feelings in

320
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:02.119
two different sections of your cottage.
I thought that was kind of unusual because

321
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.839
when you first walk in and you're
in the living room and there's the bedroom,

322
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:10.079
it felt very cozy, felt very
you know, kind of very homey

323
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:15.799
and everything, and then you walk
into the kitchen area and your study here

324
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.279
where you record your awesome podcast,
and it was a whole different feeling.

325
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:23.279
It was the feeling of being watched
and just a whole you know, just

326
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:29.240
a whole different energy to it.
And so that's one thing I really kind

327
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.920
of noticed. So of course we
wanted to take a baseline reading with an

328
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.720
EMAP detector because one of the first
things I was thinking is anything you're experiencing

329
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.279
part of a fearcage effect. Now, a fearcage effect is a very common

330
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:49.200
occurrence for somebody who works around computers
constantly or is constantly bombarded with energy.

331
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:56.240
For example, if you have a
electrical panel right outside your window here and

332
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.039
you're constantly in this room and you're
constantly being bombarded, well, then you

333
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:04.240
can have visual and auditory hallucinations.
And it's not that the devil has moved

334
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.880
in. It's just that you're I'm
seeing crazy stuff because I'm just staring at

335
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.680
this screen all the time. What
are the odds of that? Yes,

336
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.640
exactly, So that's one of the
Obviously, the first real paranormal investigating is

337
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.640
you need to try to disprove the
haunting. Sherlock Holmes once said, once

338
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.920
you have eliminated the impossible, the
rest, no matter how improbable, must

339
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:27.240
be the truth. So obviously that's
what you want to do first, is

340
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:33.920
you want to eliminate and try to
figure out is there a rational explanation from

341
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.559
what you've been experiencing. Now,
obviously, after talking to you and I've

342
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.359
known you for several years, you
both are very credible. Obviously, not

343
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:47.319
doing anything for attention, not having
any kind of mental ill. Well,

344
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:51.759
you're doing okay at that point,
you know. Well, that wraps up

345
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:53.240
the show, folks. Thanks Paul
for stopping by. Now, you know

346
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:59.680
I've only been married for twenty five
million, and Becky's walking out just getting

347
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.839
And that's one of the things you
really have to eliminate from paranormal investigating because

348
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.960
a lot of people will do things
for attention. They'll be doing things for

349
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.480
because there being you know, bombarded
with energy. There is all kinds of

350
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:18.400
you know, explanations that have nothing
to do with Casper, the you know,

351
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.759
friendly ghost. So when we came
in, obviously we wanted to kind

352
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.680
of see if we picked up on
anything you were seeing. Got some you

353
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.319
know EMF spikes that were not related
to the baseline readings. You don't have

354
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.920
anything abnormal in your baseline reading.
So there's just I don't know how many

355
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:40.079
people understand the lingo. But when
you talk about em and base readings,

356
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.200
can you give me the cliff notes
of what that means? Yes, actually

357
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:45.400
fun facts that we'll go into this
for the next hour and a half.

358
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.839
So once upon a great show,
hasn't it? Okay? So when you

359
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:55.559
go into any place to do a
investigation, you want to take a baseline

360
00:26:55.599 --> 00:27:00.440
reading of EMF, which is electromagnetic
field, and so you want to see

361
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:07.319
is the refrigerator giving off too much
energy. Is the microwave getting a little

362
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.480
too freaky? Yeah, so that's
what you want to kind of figure out.

363
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.759
And there and in your cottage,
there was no abnormal baseline readings that

364
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.480
would show that you're being bombarded with
this energy. And so what that also

365
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:25.160
does is when you get a spike, as we call it, where the

366
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:30.359
actual meter goes up, you can
disprove any kind of you know, outlet

367
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.839
giving you energy, like the microwave
or the refrigerator. So that way it

368
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:40.160
kind of validates those readings just a
little bit and you can go, Okay,

369
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:44.640
well, maybe this section is where
we need to concentrate our investigation efforts

370
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.440
on it. I remember when you
all came in that first night, and

371
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.400
Nikki, you said that when you
walked in, you could tell that.

372
00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.119
We call him George, our visitor
here, and his presence has been obvious

373
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.839
from the very beginning. He seems
sort of well, kind of foreboding,

374
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.240
like he'd just really rather we weren't
here, please get out. And sometimes

375
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.720
it wasn't always pleased. That was
just a feeling that we had, right

376
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.759
Yeah, And so you when we
came in, you've sensed right away that

377
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.680
he was there. I assume in
a different way than what Paul was able

378
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.920
to sense things. But do you
see or do you just have the feeling?

379
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.240
It's kind of a feeling of someone
watching you. Yeah, you said

380
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:26.759
he was leaning up against the wall
and kind of watching, like who are

381
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.039
these people and what are they doing
in my house? Yeah? Basically like,

382
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.279
oh you have another you have someone
here? Why why are they here?

383
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.200
Right right right? Just kind of
you know, grumpy old man.

384
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:40.920
Yeah, but not necessarily angry.
No, no, not angry at all,

385
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.359
not mean, not angry. And
this time he was excited to see

386
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.160
tonight. It felt more exciting and
more inviting. Well, honestly, we

387
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.799
told him that you were going to
be well, Becky told him, because

388
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.440
we thought you're gonna be here last
week and that it didn't work out,

389
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.319
so we schedled for this week,
and last weekend she was saying, you're

390
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:02.079
gonna have your visit, there's here, you know, and it didn't happen.

391
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:04.200
So today Becky was saying, George, they're going to be here tonight,

392
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:08.119
you know, And so apparently it
felt like old home week to him.

393
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:14.799
I guess whenever y'all came in well, and I believe I did George

394
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.880
a huge favor by not being here
last week when I had my colden cough,

395
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:23.200
and also did you a favor with
your listeners so that I'm not on

396
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:29.680
the on your show going yeah,
this is ball. Nice to see you

397
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:34.480
is my guest, and he's hawking
up along at the moment. So and

398
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:40.880
so you're able to sense more directly, I guess, or almost channel if

399
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.039
that's the right way to put in
what he's saying or thinking. Yeah,

400
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:48.799
just get little snapshots of you know, just kind of feelings of what he

401
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.480
might be, you know, saying
or thinking or feeling or it's it's an

402
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:57.200
empathic ability. A lot of people
have it to where they can feel the

403
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:03.079
certain feelings of what somebody is feeling
and it doesn't necessarily need to be paranormal.

404
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.960
Give you an example, have you
ever been talking to somebody and you

405
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:14.119
just think, Wow, they seem
really sad, seem like they're really going

406
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:18.240
through something. Now, outwardly they
could be fine, but you just kind

407
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.039
of get this feeling of, wow, I bet something bad has happened to

408
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.079
them because they seem really kind of
you know, behind the facade, right

409
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.119
or you know, somebody could be
smiling and talking to you, and you

410
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.720
just go, Man, they seem
really angry. I get the feeling that

411
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:38.519
they're just really upset, and so
that's empathic ability. Okay, And so

412
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:44.119
this time with him, I guess
he's reconciled because I'm basically a grumpy old

413
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:48.359
fart in myself. So I guess
he's reconciled, reconciled himself, that he

414
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.400
and I kind of on the same
page. Yes, exactly. We like

415
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.000
the same music too. Are you
sure he likes jazz? Right? Yeah,

416
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:59.079
but you try to play kiss well, not all the times, as

417
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:00.640
I learned, you didn't like it. I'm not. I mean, I'm

418
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.240
not. I'm not that bad,
you know most of the time. Yeah,

419
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.440
you're a good roommate. I mean
not all roommates get along perfectly all

420
00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:12.240
the time. I gather he's had
quite the Shinanigan show here in the past

421
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.400
with people that have stayed here.
Yeah right, yeah, um, anyway,

422
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:19.519
but I mean he's had some rough
customers here that have lived here and

423
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:25.240
driven him batties. I guess this
is more sedate in comparison. Oh sure,

424
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:27.559
well, you know, I mean, he's a grumpy year old man,

425
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:37.759
and you are a very Amica moving
right, Alonge, Uh language perfectly

426
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:41.960
reliable, that's pr exactly okay,
So um, but he's not the only

427
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.839
one here. I didn't realize that
until you guys came back tonight and we

428
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:48.880
told you about some of the other
things. The sound of a chair being

429
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:53.200
drigged across the floor, lights that
come on and off. I think he

430
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.480
does do that just to screw with
us have fun. But um, but

431
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.759
some other knock in the middle on
the on the door in the middle of

432
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:02.759
the night. Oh, things that
I've heard, some papers wrestling in the

433
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.640
living room, and folks, I
have never I've seen this on television shows

434
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.880
before, I've never lived it.
So this is a different thing for me

435
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:14.440
to be on this side of what's
going on for versus watching it on TV.

436
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:17.799
But well, and you know,
for you having lived it. One

437
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:22.359
of the things I noticed with whenever
I was, you know, talking to

438
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:28.480
people who are going through this is
I would always hear, hey, I'm

439
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:31.000
not crazy. Okay. That was
like always the first like, no,

440
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:34.920
I know, here's what's going on, but I'm not crazy, Like I

441
00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:38.880
want you to believe me. And
so that's a very kind of reliable thing

442
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:43.200
to say that I'm not. Hey, I'm not doing this for attention.

443
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:45.720
I'm you know, I know you're
gonna think I'm crazy, but here's what's

444
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:49.920
happened. And that's usually where I
go, Okay, cool, they're believable.

445
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.319
Yeah, but we'll established and I'm
half nuts sometime back right half all

446
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:58.519
right? Anyway, Okay, So
you sets out an interesting both of you

447
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:05.039
tonight, that this the ottage here
is like a thoroughfare for these various entities,

448
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.000
and you still being located literally less
than a block from the water.

449
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:12.160
So we'll something to do with it
too, exactly. And water is a

450
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:17.200
conductivity thing, it is. Water
is very you know, conducive for energy.

451
00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.400
Yes, and so a lot of
spirits gravitate toward water. You find

452
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:27.000
a lot of haunted locations that are
close to water because of the energy it

453
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.160
generates, and so being the fact
that you are so close to the bay,

454
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:35.160
it just kind of works, I
wouldn't say necessarily in your favor,

455
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:42.279
but they can create kind of a
you know, a thoroughfare of energy that

456
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.319
just kind of passes through. And
the energy or the spirits or whatever we

457
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.880
want to call them, the entities
that pass through, they notice that I'm

458
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.480
here, that Becky's here, but
they don't care. Right. You made

459
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:55.160
the analogy of driving down the interstate. Yeah, there's somebody you know,

460
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:59.720
at a rusty area. So what
they press on So it's not we don't

461
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.960
buy to them, they don't bother
us. Is that kind of how it

462
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:06.400
works? Right? And that actually
happens not just for your cottage, but

463
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:10.719
you know, we go through life
every every day and there is energy that's

464
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.800
constantly been passed through, and you
know, spirits that are moving on and

465
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.920
they may be aware of us,
and but we're not aware of them.

466
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:22.599
But one you know and intuition that
I got when I was here is that

467
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:28.480
the section of your cottage is just
kind of a passing like a waypoint,

468
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.760
like a rest stop, is the
way I believe I phrased it is.

469
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:37.039
And that's why a lot of times
spirits that are passing through, weird things

470
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:45.679
will happen, such as papers shuffling
and chairs moving across the sounds and the

471
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:49.480
chair, the chair that is physically
there isn't moving right, but it's it's

472
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.639
a residual I guess from individual sound. Yeah, And there are two types

473
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:59.199
of hauntings. There's residual and there's
intelligent residual haunting is just a record that's

474
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:04.639
playing beca that's happened years and years
and years, and it's just repeating itself.

475
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.760
The needle was stuck, exactly,
and it's just the grooves and a

476
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:13.920
record that is constantly replaying versus an
intelligent haunting that is interacting with you.

477
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.960
Okay, and that's you know,
being tapped on your shoulder, whispers in

478
00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:22.719
your ear, you know, seeing
things, Um, get out, yes

479
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:29.440
exactly. Oh look, your walls
are bleeding. I don't remember seeing that

480
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.719
last time when I was here.
That's not the visual I need right now.

481
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:38.400
But okay, we're going home now, Thank you, folks. Wow,

482
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:42.679
I want y'all to come back.
We can do this again, because

483
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.679
this is I mean, I have
all kind of had all kinds of guests

484
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:46.960
on the show, Pat say Jack
you know, and all kinds of fun

485
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.559
folks, but I've never had anything
like this. But I've never lived in

486
00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:53.360
a place where this kind of thing
happened either. This is fascinating. Well,

487
00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:59.679
and the thing is is what I
love about hauntings and things like that

488
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.920
is almost everywhere it's haunted. I
can give you stories of the White House

489
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:10.440
being haunted, for example, that
they leave cocaine no Abraham Lincoln. Yes.

490
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:14.719
In fact, actually, if you
look up, there was a very

491
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:20.960
famous aristocat who was visiting the White
House and she received a knock at her

492
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:25.039
door, and she opened her door
and there is Abraham Lincoln hat and all

493
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:30.159
standing at her door. Keep in
mind he had been dead for probably I

494
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:35.679
would say thirty years at that point. And so it is. I mean,

495
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.760
even the most famous house in America
is haunting. Wow. One last

496
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:43.119
question, and I just thought of
it, but have you ever, either

497
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:47.239
one of you, have you been
in a place encountered spirits or entities or

498
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:52.559
whatever we want to call them,
and felt that you were genuinely endangered,

499
00:36:52.239 --> 00:37:00.000
genuinely scared to the core. Yeah, there are occasional times where you do

500
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:06.159
feel like you are maybe in danger, depends on it all comes down to

501
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:10.239
the word respect. RSPCT finds out
find out what it means to me.

502
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:16.599
Yeah. And we were doing a
ghost tour in Gatlinburg and it's definitely not

503
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:21.679
one of the places you think of
when you think of haunted places. You

504
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:22.760
know, like, oh my goodness, I'm so scared to go back to

505
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:30.840
Gatlinburg. Kid playing banjo, Yes, exactly. But we were doing a

506
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.840
cemetery tour and our tour guide had
kind of taken us all through and we

507
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.159
were going up the hill. It
was a cemetery on a hill right by

508
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:44.320
a mini golf and we went someplace
we were not supposed to go. He

509
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:49.280
took us through there, and we
could feel that something started following us as

510
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:53.599
we left, and was just very
angry that we had been there, and

511
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:59.239
we could just feel that certain number
of plots or something that you were not

512
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:06.960
supposed to be just kind of walking
in general, okay, in the cemetery

513
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:15.440
and walking through it, and our
are very oblivious to our guide. Some

514
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:19.360
people can fill things, some people
can't. He was one of the people

515
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.920
who can't. Now, he had
tons of knowledge about where we were,

516
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:30.519
but I don't think he necessarily thought
about how respectful he was being. Oh,

517
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:34.039
okay, the area we were in, right, and so I think

518
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:42.519
that upset some of the you know
people right right. And there was one

519
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.719
particular guy that wanted us gone,
just one of the spirits there. Yeah,

520
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:51.239
yeah, because we had disturbed that
area. While Paul and I were

521
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:55.280
trying our best to be very respectful, he just had us bounding through the

522
00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:00.159
cemetery, you know, without really
thinking about what we were doing and telling

523
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:05.360
us stories and you know, informing
us about it. So did this this

524
00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:10.119
uh, this person unhappy spirit follow
you guys or did he just when y'all

525
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:14.800
left the cemetery? Did he stay
there? No? Regrettably, we could

526
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.960
feel him following. We would walk
down and he always kind of kept a

527
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:24.440
distance. Uh. He followed us
right into Mellow Mushroom. Dude, I

528
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:30.280
give you chills. Now. We
went to eat at Mellow Mushroom and we

529
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:35.480
could feel that he had just followed
us into that point. And so at

530
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.719
that point that we ate and went
back to our room, and it seemed

531
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:43.480
like he was gone. It was
It was not I don't want to say

532
00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.559
it wasn't menacing, but it was
the angry. It was like when somebody

533
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:52.400
does something to you and you're angry
at them and you want them to hey,

534
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:57.239
get away, right, So that
he meant business and you guys could

535
00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.639
sense that, right exactly. And
as long as you have a degree of

536
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.280
respect and you do things the way
you're supposed to, you know, you

537
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.440
should be fine. Okay, Well, hopefully George treated you a lot better

538
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:09.960
than that he seems like a nice
guy. He wants you off his lawn,

539
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:13.440
of course, but still, I
mean he's you know, well,

540
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:16.679
luckily we're not, you know,
kids playing baseball in the house and doing

541
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:21.639
all the things I annoy right exactly, guys, this has been great.

542
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.320
Thank you so much. Well,
thank you so much for having us pleasure

543
00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:28.840
heaving here. We appreciate you putting
up with us. No, it's fun.

544
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.760
It's fun. We'll turn the microphones
off and trade stories about the watch

545
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:37.000
shop. All right, folks.
That is Paul and Nicky Bonnet. Thank

546
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.760
you again, guys, I appreciate
it. Thank you. On the Dave

547
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:45.119
Carter Show, and now from the
studios of Why Why, Why, Why

548
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:47.519
Me, Lord, this is a
special report. I'm Mark ben Wall,

549
00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:53.159
I'm former presidential candidate and currently deceased
Rothboro. I'm your worst nightmare. Back

550
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:57.679
to you, Mark, Thank you, Dave. Controversy swirls a new in

551
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.400
the nation's capital, in the halls
of Congress and every square inch of the

552
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:06.000
White House, with the exception of
an otherwise obscure corner where that damned dog

553
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:10.159
guards someone's emergency stash of cocaine.
At the center of the Bruhaha. President

554
00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:16.000
Joseph Biden's son appropriately named Hunter,
as he spent his entire adult years hunting

555
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:21.760
for any and every vice bribe,
babe, booze, bong, drug kickback,

556
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:25.280
free ride, sex club, hookidooki, trackpipe, and lacivious pleasure that

557
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:30.159
he could swindle, fondle, canoele, strong armed, tongue kiss or Cornican

558
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:36.519
President's son was spirited away from the
hearing on Wednesday after his sweetheart Pleadal was

559
00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:42.079
unceremoniously shredded by Judge Mary Ellen Noiicus, who admonished young Biden to get a

560
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.480
damned job. He's already qualified to
be a Senator, which would liven things

561
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.920
up, and that once August Chamber
now reduced to an assistant living facility for

562
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:55.800
geriatric suffering through varying degrees of sobriety
and hair loss, had in a drug

563
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.760
and alcohol problem, and soon he'll
be chairing the Senate Committee on Tax Fraud

564
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:04.480
and Crime Prevention. Asked what he
thought of the judge's decision on the plea

565
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:07.119
deal, Hunter said he'd liked to
roll her in cookie dough and eat milk

566
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:12.360
duds out of her ears. Meanwhile, members of the US House of Representatives

567
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:17.199
are still recovering from the shock of
virtually pornographic photos that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green

568
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:23.599
presented live television during the hearings in
which I R S whistleblowers testify about alleged

569
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:29.320
efforts to obstruct justice at the DOJ. But there were no efforts to obstruct

570
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:34.119
members and television viewers from seeing images
of Hunter Biden taking advantage of a different

571
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:38.000
sort of whistleblower. If you get
a drift, sources alleged that Hunter was

572
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:43.400
once a member of an exclusive sex
club in the Washington, DC area.

573
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:49.599
As luck would have it, paranormal
investigator and Dave Carter confident Paul Bunnett happened

574
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:53.719
to be conducting a paranormal investigation in
the nation's capital and captured a recording of

575
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:59.039
the ghosts of the deceased senior senator
from Massachusetts, the late Edward Kennedy,

576
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.159
who reacted to the news of the
sex club. The recording has just been

00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:07.400
delivered here to the studios of w

00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:21.880
that end up being Paddy in this
regard? Just up? Where is this

581
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.679
club? You'll get the dress and
blocking them up? Anything, Larry,

582
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:29.639
this is all roster. Row here
and let me get a word in.

583
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:32.360
Just a dead and gum bit and
flat foot in second here, I want

584
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:36.199
to get a word in with a
crowbar if I have to about this Jason

585
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.320
Alden and that song about what you
can't get away with in a small town.

586
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:43.840
Now, I'm all fashioned as you
know, Yes, you're dead.

587
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.679
Have you looked in a mirror lately? I mean, come on, you

588
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:50.360
look like a two legged liver spot
of a thirty neck and a chrome dome

589
00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:54.000
in one of those movies about what
happens to people after a nuclear bombs hug.

590
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:59.119
Let me make the point here.
Now, I'm all fashioned enough to

591
00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:01.719
know what pass says for country music
these days. Hey, it's just sad

592
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:07.440
Larry hay seeds and ball caps doing
rap music with an idiotic twang. The

593
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:12.679
great throngs of glassy eyed goobers who
think ancestry dot Com is a dating service

594
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:16.239
and WrestleMania is a freakin Shakespeare in
the Park production and all that to the

595
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:21.760
side, Larry. Sometimes they get
it right, and this Jason Aldeen,

596
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:24.239
he didn't just hit the nail on
the head, he'd beat the air of

597
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:30.280
lovings. And you can take that
and stick it in your fucking wagoner.

598
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:34.679
Now there's your sound bite. And
since were in Florida, Hey, I'm

599
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.159
headed to the beach. I may
be dead, but this is gonna be

600
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.679
fun. Yes, sir, it's
riggae on the coast. That's all from

601
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:47.800
Ross the guy from Epaiba day Shale
Daylight coming. Then I out of here.

602
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:30.199
Well, now that was a fun
conversation and it do seem that we

603
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.320
run quite the camera today of conversational
topics, from the latest in country music

604
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:39.440
to the paranormal dimension. And to
be honest with you, it really doesn't

605
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:44.480
matter if you believe in paranormal phenomena
or not. The topic you have to

606
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:50.159
admit us pretty compelling. So it's
fun having that discussion with my friends Paul

607
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:57.599
and Nicki Bennette, and then of
course we went straight from the paranormal to

608
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:01.880
the hideously abnormal with Mark ben Will
and the cast of characters here more or

609
00:46:01.960 --> 00:46:07.239
less holding court on the continuing Food
Bar Festival taking place in Washington, d

610
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.119
C. Now, regardless of what
side of the political spectrum you happen to

611
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.199
reside in, you gotta admit this
is a hell of a situation in which

612
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:19.719
we are now immersed. Would be
that, as it may, we're entitled

613
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:23.800
to have a laugh and obliged to
take a skeptical or even satirical perspective on

614
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:28.320
things, and we're obligated to learn
a little bit about it. Actually,

615
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:32.960
So if you're interested, by the
way and learning a lot more and benefiting

616
00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:38.039
from some of the most compelling commentary
and information out there, you really need

617
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:42.199
and you really owe to yourself,
to look no further than the Ricochet Audio

618
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:47.199
Network. From this crazy program obviously
to more sober a healysis such as Commentary

619
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:53.079
Magazine's podcast or former Secretary of Education
Bill Bennett's show also on Ricochet and and

620
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:59.039
Coulter's podcasts. They can all be
found right here on the Ricochet Audio Network.

621
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:04.800
Let's not forget the Ricochet flagship podcast, where Ricochet's founders Rob Long and

622
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:10.199
Peter Robinson and James lylax Say engage
in a star studied galaxy really of pundits

623
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:15.840
and newsmakers, and the result it's
as compelling a presentation and a conversation as

624
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:21.079
you will find anywhere else, probably
more so. And to tell you the

625
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:24.719
truth, it looks like this little
show here. The listenership of this program

626
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:30.559
is on the rise as well.
I took a peek at the analytics very

627
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:35.320
recently, and our audience is growing
literally across the country and even getting some

628
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.199
attention in other countries around the globe. Last I looked, we are currently

629
00:47:38.280 --> 00:47:44.199
heard in some twenty five other countries
around the world, which is pretty remarkable.

630
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:50.559
Or a little Cajun troublemaker from the
wilds of Louisiana. So have you

631
00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:52.920
had a good time today? I
have, But then I always do.

632
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:59.320
I always have a phenomenally good time
getting together these programs for you. We

633
00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:02.199
want this to be the place where
you will get what Ross Perot a few

634
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:07.360
minutes ago called the flat footed Truth, and even a bit of serious analysis

635
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.639
and commentary. But there are times
when you just need to decompress, you

636
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:15.639
just need to laugh, right and
hopefully you'll find exactly that kind of place

637
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:22.400
right here. So with thanks to
my castor characters, Mark Benoir and the

638
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:27.559
rest of the gang, my sincere
thanks to my longtime friend Paul Benette and

639
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:31.840
his lovely wife Nikki, and my
continuing sincere thanks to you the listener.
