I've stopped trying to keep track at this point. We're in the mid-20s somewhere. As always I am one of your three hosts, Mike Martin, joined as always by Alex Fasciane. Hello, sir. Hi.
Starting point is 00:01:08 He's very, you can't see it, but he's living in the shadow realm. It's not cool. It's a little unsettling. I just don't want to get up. I'm in my pajamas. I don't want to get up and turn on the light because I don't want anybody to see me outside. That's fair, man. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:01:21 See, it's dark out in the east coast right now, so I can be naked. It wouldn't matter. Maybe it is. On top of Alex, I've got Alex. It would matter to us. We can see you. You can only see me from the shoulders up. We're going to keep it a mystery.
Starting point is 00:01:33 I don't even think this is a nip level, honestly. Nip level? This isn't nip level camera. No, it's not. I'd call it a bust. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, bust. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Hey, Jesse, how you doing, homie? I mean, great. Just great. So happy to be with you guys. I always love being with you, man. It brightens up my day. Gosh. Today, we're diving into a part two of a much requested thing that people have enjoyed when
Starting point is 00:01:58 we did it on Halloween, and it is going to be more viewer stories. Yay. I'm so excited for this to be real. I am too. It's one of my favorite parts of checking the subreddit and the emails and the Twitter DMs every day is just like people who throw out their stories. If you have stories that you want to tell us, by the way, make sure if you throw us an email or you throw us a subreddit story, always throw like, hey, you can put this up
Starting point is 00:02:21 on the show just for our own peace of mind and safety. And if you've got, you know, other things other than ghost stories, throw those up there as well. Anything. Just throw them out there. Give me your alien abduction stories. If you got them. Give me your.
Starting point is 00:02:35 I was possessed by the ghosts of of Crendor. You know, you're just encouraging crazy people. I don't like it. This whole podcast is your animals that came out of your walls and wrote around town collecting rooms. Now that's the kind of story I want. Yeah. I want that story.
Starting point is 00:02:51 That would be. I'll be a grown man. Give me your hometown cryptid story. Jeff, the Mongoose part two, please. If you have a Mongoose or a rat living in your wall, that'd be great. I know we said the end of last episode, we're going to be talking about the man who sleeps with aliens still working on that. There's surprising.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Are you saying there's a lot there? A lot of guys with aliens. What? To unpack, especially when you have to be like, okay, let's look into his history. Where does this guy come from? He's trying to piece things together. Also another little teaser for the future. I had one of my assistant researchers for the past like two months doing research on
Starting point is 00:03:25 the Mothman. We'll be doing. Oh, hell yeah. What about his prophecies? Yeah. All of his prophecies, whether he's a cryptid or he's maybe a psychological phenomenon or as always, he could be an alien. I think he's an emo time traveler.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You know what, man? It's possible. That's what I think he is. Jeff. Just a sad time traveler. It's like a sad voice. Yeah. He just like loves like, I'm going to go to this bridge disaster.
Starting point is 00:03:53 He just like stands over and watches it the whole time. No. OK. And it's like it's a self-fulfilling prophecy every time you see him. Something bad happens because he's just a sad time traveler who enjoys watching things fall apart. Why? He looks like a Mothman when he time travels.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Who knows? Fashion's crazy in the future. I'm serious. It's insane in the membrane in the future. Alex, have you been to the future? Save that for another episode. Chepstick. Chepstick, guys.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Chepstick. In my future, the Beatles never broke up. Right. There you are. Yeah. So you were, it all makes sense. Chepstick. You were the man.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Chepstick. All right. All right. Let's dive in to some of our readers' stories. We're going to start with some shorter stuff and then we're going to end with some of the more longer detailed stuff. There's some interesting stories that have been posted on Reddit over the past few months. There's some really good stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Are any of them real? That's up for you to decide, Jesse. Fair warning. We might make fun of you. No. I would never make fun of you. That's only me. I'm just the mean one.
Starting point is 00:04:59 He might just disagree about your perception of events. Yeah. I may think that you're- But that's the thing about reality. Yeah. Reality's how you perceive it. So let's start light. From Reddit user P.Wookie, which is a great name, and this story is dubbed the white figure.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I didn't know what that was. Was that lightning? What was that noise? Yeah. It was lightning. Oh, that was thunder. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And then a wolf howling. Fair enough. All right. So some quick context for the story. I'm not exactly sure how old I was, but I know that I was in primary school, so I was between somewhere between five and 11 years old. That's a big spread. That is a large-
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah, during that time, it all blends together, though, because you're like an idiot kid. When you're five, you're dumb as hell. Same with 11. You're dumb as hell. Yeah. You're way smarter than when you're five. No, no. When you're 11, you're just as stupid as five.
Starting point is 00:05:53 You just learned how to play with the thing between your legs at 11. Whoa. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Whoa. I'm just saying. No. No.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Only me at 11 years old. Whoa. All right. I'm spoiling the mystery. He's naked, you guys. He is very naked. So you're somewhere between five and 11 years old. The door to my room was in the corner, and right next to the door was my bunk bed.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I would always sleep on the top bunk, and in the diagonally opposite corner of the room, I had a lamp. Now, my question is, did you boys have bunk beds growing up? No, I was a single child. I did, too, actually. It was miserable. I slept on the top bunk, which meant I got kicked all the time, especially if my brother was pissed.
Starting point is 00:06:36 To me, the upper bunk was a position of, like, powers? Yeah. But one time, I threw up down the side of the bed, and almost, like, the vomit stopped like maybe like two inches from my brother's face, and he woke up like, whoa. It's a horror story. I hit my head a lot, but that's different. Oh, gosh. It's keeping it real.
Starting point is 00:07:03 What's good? Hashtag top bunk represent. Hashtag no bunk, hashtag single child, hashtag didn't have to share. Hashtag better presence. Hashtag got stuff. No, but your trade-off, Jesse, was like the weird room, right, with the clown pictures on the wall or whatever. No, that was after I left for college.
Starting point is 00:07:21 My parents had like three rooms to fill, and they made them all guest bedrooms, but they put their weird shit in it. So it was like themed backest bedrooms. Yeah, one was like a yellow room and one was a blue room. Oh, yeah, they were themed, and they were weird. They were weird. That's awesome. It was like the White House.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Exactly. So one night, I went to bed, leaving my lamp on. I woke up in the night to see a white figure walk past my bed towards the corner of my room where my lamp was. Big nope. No, that's a big hell no. The figure looked to be wearing some sort of long white robe and looked to be holding a candle.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Sort of similar style to Scrooge from A Christmas Carol. Now when I saw this, I was quite scared, but I was even more scared when the figure turned to look at me. I quickly hid under my covers and tried to fall asleep. When I woke up in the morning, the lamp was off. Now, sometimes my mom would come into my room after I'd fallen asleep to turn the lamp off, but I asked her if she had done that the night before, and she said she hadn't. Also, the lamp still worked, so it wasn't the bulb that blew out or the power that
Starting point is 00:08:26 went out or anything like that. I never saw the figure again. I have a very vague memory of another time where I saw something, but I don't remember anything more than the fact that there was some other experience I had. Like I said, it was only a small experience, but I thought some of you might find it interesting. Thanks for listening. Like I said, a 5 year old is not going to ask their mom, hey, did you turn that light off last night?
Starting point is 00:08:48 And then her mom's like, no, and then it's like, it's a ghost. Yeah, a 5 year old would never have that thought. But here's the thing, out of all vague stories like this are the most interesting, because it could have been anything. It could have been anything. I like that it was Scrooge. I'm assuming Muppet Christmas Carol. Scrooge.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yep, yep, yep. I like it. I'm thinking like a blood-borne, a blood-borne, like a monstrosity, like the dancer of the va- whatever. Yeah. Like those dudes in the college that are just like college dudes, but they're like fucked up. That's what I, that's what I'm imagining.
Starting point is 00:09:22 See for me, I actually have a very vivid memory somewhere around that age where I had night terrors a lot as a kid. I remember very vividly one night waking up in the middle of the night. That's what happens when you share a bunk, everyone. I never had night terrors. Not one. That's the curse of the top bunk. Yeah, not one.
Starting point is 00:09:36 I remember seeing skeletons all in my room, and I did not stay, I did not go into the covers. I ran screaming, and I remember just being like skeletons guarding my door and shit. That shit can happen. It very well could have been like a night terror or like just a waking nightmare type of thing. But that, that shit's horrible. Or you're, you could have been given medicine, air quotes, from your parents that was actually just booze.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Oh, that happened a lot in the 60s. Yeah. I don't know how, we don't know how old this person is now. This could have been in the 60s. That's true. P. Wookiee definitely could be 50 years old. Just a little nip to get the kid to sleep. Maybe P. Wookiee was there for the original Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Yeah. Maybe he was. All right. The next story comes from Reddit user, Phantonio. Phantonio. Phantonio. And it's labeled, those times I die. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Who's talking to this one team? As a note, I should point out that I'm only a somewhat superstitious person, and I'm not very religious, even then, even though this stuff kind of weirds me out. First we need some backstory. I am a double heart transplant recipient. Whoa. What? Which is fucking awesome that, you know, you were able to power through that and you
Starting point is 00:10:51 got the necessary surgery you needed when you were brought a baby. Double? Double. Yeah, we'll hear all about it. What? When I was only five months old, after my mom took me on several doctors in our community because she was worried that I wasn't breathing or feeding properly and was promptly dismissed for being a worried new mother, a doctor thought I had a contracted pneumonia.
Starting point is 00:11:11 In actuality, an X-ray scan found out that my heart was several times too large for my own chest. We eventually learned that the left side of my heart was not closing properly and kept enlarging with each beat. My family and I were moved to the west coast of Canada, where we lived when I was born, to Toronto on the other side of the continent because pediatric heart transplants were not conducted in the province we lived in during the late 1990s when all of this took place. We ended up staying there for 13 months, six of which I was on life support and in ICU
Starting point is 00:11:42 repeatedly. Whoa. That's insane. Yeah. I had several cardiac arrests and had to be resuscitated in multiple times. As far as I'm aware, I technically died a few times during this period. So this is like baby, baby, like five months old. Baby, baby.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah. No memory, you know, just to set up everything. Sure, sure. Just to set up everything. Just stuff that he was told. Yes. Exactly. This is already crazy story.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Sure. Yeah. Yeah. By itself. Because Canada at the time did not have many organ donors, especially for children, and I have a very rare blood type, finding a heart for me was incredibly difficult. By the 13th month, I was given only days to live and my parents were told to make funeral arrangements.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Wow. Now here's where things get weird. On the exact same day, my parents were told to start making funeral arrangements, a nurse came to my parents and announced that a heart was ready for me and I was to be operated on immediately. During this whole 13 month fiasco, we had a photographer following us and helping compile media coverage to help gain support for organ donation. This photographer also ended up going into the operating room when I had my transplant
Starting point is 00:12:44 and got photos of the whole thing. According to my parents, when the photographer came out of the waiting room, he was totally pale. When my new heart was put into my body, it started beating at the exact time I was born, 831 AM. What? So that's the setup. That's the setup for the story.
Starting point is 00:13:00 That's not the story. Sure, sure. I like to imagine like, it's very much kind of hinting that like the photographer came out pale because he saw something weird. Oh my God. I imagine. Wait, was the heart the heart of a killer? Oh, that's where you're going.
Starting point is 00:13:15 That's where you're going. Yeah. I saw the guy and he was like, that's jumping jack slash the killer. Oh my God. Jack slash. God damn it. He gave him the heart. Jumping jack slash.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Yeah, it's a cat. It's a gash. It's a cat. For me, I imagine the parents are like, oh my God, he must have seen something. It's a sign. Meanwhile, the photographer is like, oh, surgery, blood. I can't handle it. He just wants to like vomit and pass out.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Just like I can't. All right. Let's do this. Fast forward. Oh my God. I can imagine. That's just, I feel like as a kid at four, you really, I mean, you understand things are not going well.
Starting point is 00:13:53 As a parent, I can only imagine how stressful this is. We never found out why only that something was wrong with my coronary arteries, the arteries that supply the heart with the blood. The second transplant went about the same as the first. I was in and out of the ICU and on life support several times. And just to make matters worse, we were set up in a tiny apartment in downtown Toronto with my almost newborn brother and a swine flu outbreak occurred in the same year, which caused absolute pandemonium during the, during due to terrible quarantine management.
Starting point is 00:14:23 My mom and I even got thrown out of a taxi once because I had a minor cough read the heart transplant and the track taxi driver said he didn't want to die. That's just kicked him out swine flu mania, bro. I guess so. At least to say things were not great. During the course of these events, a friend of my mom's who was battling breast cancer died of her illness and not long after, and not long after I had another cardiac arrest episode in which I had to be brought back from the dead.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Two deaths racked up now. Just yeah, that's just back to back. My mom obviously distraught, but trying to keep spirits up decided to take me out for chocolate cake at a cafe once when I was after I was feeling better. This is post the second heart transplant. Now before I, before this next paragraph, I have to emphasize that I no longer remember what occurred to me during any of the times that I had died. I was mainly concentrated at the time on not dying, so the details are lost to me, but
Starting point is 00:15:18 my mom remembers what I said on that day that we went for chocolate cake clear as a bell. We sat down at this cafe, me attached to a heart monitoring machine and my mom started talking to me about how we should value our lives. She tells me that in life, no matter how much time you have, you should spend it enjoying things, enjoying the things in life. That's what our little chocolate cake adventure was all about, simply enjoying life by eating some chocolate cake. According to my mother, who has a fantastic memory for anything involving my transplants,
Starting point is 00:15:46 my response to her was, it's okay mom, when I died I saw Jesus and he told me it wasn't my time yet. The woman at the table next to us promptly spat out her coffee. My mom to her credit retained her composure pretty well all things considered. She apparently just replied with, oh well, that's nice. Soon after I turned five, I got my second heart transplant and close to two decades later I'm still going strong. I have not had any more deaths and sadly have not had any more visits from Jesus.
Starting point is 00:16:21 As I said, I do not at all remember actually seeing the old big J, but I wouldn't really doubt it considering how many times I died. I hope this tickles your weirdness loving funny bones. Big J, that's a crazy story, that's a crazy story because it's like Nickname privileges if you've met him. Yeah, if you meet Jesus man, that's fine. Does that mean I can have a nickname for him? I told you boys that weird story, right, where I saw him like half awake once.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Yeah, you did, you definitely told us that story. Was he like please big J? No, please call me big J. I turned over, he was just hanging out, I don't know if that's Jesus, I don't know if that was Jesus. He had an edible in one hand, he was having a great time. That might have been Jeff Bridget's dude. You know what, you might be right, I would love to have the conviction to say like, yeah
Starting point is 00:17:14 I met a spiritual leader of some sort or I met God. I'd be so, you know what, to have the clarity to just believe that completely would be, I think very liberating to a person because one of those things like most of the time they're like, well, I don't know, I don't know what I believe. If I had the memory, it would be like pretty crazy, you know what I mean, like if I had the memory in my brain of like it happening, it would be like insane to me to like think back on that moment. Sure, every day, it would blow my mind.
Starting point is 00:17:47 But I think it would give you a conviction of being like, I'm going to be a good person because I know, I know there's a heaven. It's real, yeah. Only if you're a good person at heart, God forbid you could use that to justify your hatred. Be like, I'm right. My God is real. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:04 That's one of our most dangerous habits as humans right there. Yeah. I agree. All right. Next one. This is from Reddit user Roman titled leave me alone. When I was a teenager, I lived in this house in Illinois and this house always freaked me out probably because it was in Illinois, my dude.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I've had three experiences. The land of Lincoln. The land of Lincoln. I've had three experiences there and each was creepier than the last. My first experience was when I was about 14, maybe 15 years old. I was home alone and my room was in the basement. I had a couch a couple of feet from my bed and my TV was on the coffee table because it was perfectly in line with my couch.
Starting point is 00:18:44 This is totally relevant to the story. I promise. Not. Cool. Thank you. Got him. Got him. So I'm sitting there.
Starting point is 00:18:52 So I'm sitting there playing black ops and I hear people walking upstairs. It sounded like four people walking around. So I head upstairs because I'm thinking it's my parents with company or something. But no, nobody is there. All of the lights were off and it was eerily quiet. Me being the badass 14 or something year old that I was told the ghost to suck a nut and walked back downstairs. Nice.
Starting point is 00:19:13 As I head for the basement, I hear someone say, yeah, exactly, suck a nut. As I head for the basement, I hear someone say, Roman, wait, that's when I ran downstairs and shut my door. Big nope. Absolutely. My next experience was when I was 17. I wake up around 2 30 in the morning, 30 minutes from the witching hour. Nice.
Starting point is 00:19:34 And no big deal. It was the summer and I didn't have school, so I stayed up for a bit. When I go to lay back down, I get super fatigued and feeling super fatigued feeling and weak. I flop onto my bed, then I immediately can't move. My dogs were sleeping downstairs, which is already weird because they slept with my parents or just upstairs in general. And one of my dogs started growling like I've never heard before in my life. Her hair raises and she goes into full attack mode.
Starting point is 00:20:01 As I'm laying down, I see this weird black mass starting to form in the corner of my basement and my dog lunges. Goes absolutely haywire and I hear really guttural laughter. Then the mass disappears. I would be, I would not be sane today if I experienced that. No way dude. That's like demon 101. I would sit on the fucking ground and rock back and forth and just talk about that for
Starting point is 00:20:26 the rest of my days if I saw that shit. I'm not sure if my instinct would be like get them, get them and sacrifice my dog and get out of there or try to get my dog out of there at the risk of being laughed at. I would just like scream and crumple and my legs wouldn't work and I would just cover my face and scream and scream and scream. For a whole day I would scream if I saw that. Holy shit. How would Jesse react?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Jesse, you see a black mass in the corner. Well, I mean I would assume it was like. You're 17. Put yourself into a 17 year old mindset. Come on. Bring it back real hard for you. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:21:03 If my dog jumped at something in the corner, I would assume it was like a rat or something. I would need the, I would, if I heard a guttural laugh, I mean. A guttural laugh. I'm out. Out of there. I don't know that I would have immediately assumed it was a guttural laugh. It would have been like. Ha, ha, ha.
Starting point is 00:21:19 That's what happened. That's what happened. It would have really, it could have been like, Japanese ghost. Yeah. It couldn't have been anything but that. If it was anything that sounded like it could have been anything else, it would have been like. Damn.
Starting point is 00:21:32 There's a rat in the house. Mom. There's a rat in the house. What of it? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. It's like M. Bison from Street Fighter. Yeah. He's just hanging on the corner.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Coming directly from the corner. Yeah. That my dog just went to. I would have assumed it was the dog making a noise. I would I would pass away That's like if it was an audible if it literally if the the dark orb Opened a mouth and was like I would be like all right. I'm done like I'd be done then but if it was anything else Go surreal go surreal demons are real go surreal, but I'll tell you again speaking that without for the rest of my days
Starting point is 00:22:13 I would be here's the thing though. If that happened. I would be perfectly fine with it because then I'd be like, okay That's real That's like Yeah, all right. Yes, you know me in the basement you here And you're like, yeah, this is good now If I saw that I would be like well if that's real if that demon thing is real then clear There has to be good in like there has to be like angels and shit. So okay. It's got to like fight that I see
Starting point is 00:22:52 Like As like an alien is abducting him from the sky and he's floating and Jesse's just on his face Is he like holding on to the trees? It's like, huh? Yes, yes, I'm stuck to me. I'd be like yeah. All right. I believe now I believe you got me. You got me aliens. Okay. Yeah, let's let's see that Absolutely, I'd be like all right. I take me to your machines I'd I'd at least have answers and then I'd be fine same with the ghost if it goes cute It was like ha ha ha. I'd be like, yo, you're real. Oh, okay. Yes ghosts are real nice. Yeah
Starting point is 00:23:29 I would not freak out. I I rarely freak out about anything the only thing that scares me God That's killing machine sharks sharks are the worst. Hey, like Sam Neil in event horizon. There will be cuts on my face Who knows man, maybe the Megadolodon still exists. Yeah, you know what event horizon is pretty awful So if I saw that then I'd go crazy like if I saw dude just like puking his face off I'd probably be like well, I'm out You're like it's real and I hate it. Yeah, no, this is awful All right. All right. So gutter a laughter dog goes nuts And after and then after a little while it the the after the laughter rather the mass disappears
Starting point is 00:24:07 After disappeared I felt completely normal and couldn't move and you bet your sweet ass I slept upstairs on my parents floor. All right Last experience my last experience was just a couple of years ago I was playing my Xbox and it was well past four. This is why you don't say up late This is why you don't step because demons come out and get your ass when you play in Yeah, that's video games wait till four in the morning And I only know this because it was a Friday And sir was at the top with at the tower when I spawned in so he's just playing destiny and that's when the server is reset
Starting point is 00:24:41 There you go. Perfect. That's why he saw his demon I'm talking with friends in a party and I hear my mom call my name from the top of the steps Oh, we at four which was weird because she worked in like three hours So I tell my friends they'll be back and head out into the main room of the basement. I'm saying yeah, mom. What's up mom? Mom, what did you need is everything okay? And I hear nothing She called my name four times. So I head upstairs to her room and I'm like mom. What'd you want? What did you call me for is everything okay?
Starting point is 00:25:11 She's pissed because I woke her up. So I tell her what happened and she freaks out So something called my name in my mom's voice and I haven't been more terrified in my life At that point I heard a really loud bang and something broke I said fuck no and slept on my parents floor again The people I was in a party with heard it too and texted me asking what happened Told them and they wigged out. I went down. I went down the next morning to find out what broke And it was a picture frame of my grandparents and me I didn't sleep downstairs for a week and when I was down there
Starting point is 00:25:43 I went upstairs before it got dark and He says if you like these he has more experiences from around that time too, but that was the last experience This story just have an end card at the end. Yeah, it did. He was like you want more you want more, baby Can I just find a suggestion craze suggestion? I Want to know for background When did you wake up? When do you wake up normally because you're in school during this time, right? I imagine this was a Friday.

It's just gonna be all right Michael and Jesse were Normal guys Who went insane?
Starting point is 00:30:36 All right, so the next story is potentially the one that we're gonna round out this episode with and you might be like Wow, that's fast. This is a long one. We're gonna go through this whole. Oh, yeah This is a big boy talk about it pick it apart have fun with it This was sent via email by a man named Andrew and I titled this one the poltergeist You took like some editorial license with this one. Well, yeah, I just gave it a title. I like that. I like that That's very like professional. I thank you. Thank you very much So let's get started My family and I lived at a large property called Gladstone Vila in the former mining town of Bargode in the
Starting point is 00:31:10 Sayerfilly County borough of South Wales Valleys in the UK from 19 from 1969 to 1978 we experienced activity that simply defied rational explanations such as lights going off and on We witnessed electrical cables being pulled and my grandfather Bill claimed to have had a glass bottle thrown towards him as he entered The main bedroom missing him by just inches. I Didn't personally see this myself But I still recall the time he came from there with the broken bottle in his hands and he told us what happened There was the occasional sighting, but this was a very this was very rare indeed
Starting point is 00:31:47 So rare that in all the nine years that I was there I never once saw it, but I did hear it many times in the bedroom in the bedroom It's still worth mentioning that my mother Caroline saw it on at least two occasions There were also regular footsteps heard in the main bedroom every morning Sometimes during the day when we'd all be downstairs watching TV One of us would turn the volume down to hear it more clearly and my grandfather Bill would point to the ceiling and say He's by here and he's by there now Trying to make out where the footsteps were coming from exactly
Starting point is 00:32:20 Something about like family ghosts Always freaks me out. It's a little credence in my opinion always ends a little credence It like here's the thing like if I'm if I'm like 15 years old or younger 11 years old the perfect age the age where you first start masturbating No, hey, no you know before before Jesse loses his mind and before Alex continues There is actually theories that connect between poltergeist activity and kids and the pubic era That's true. It's an energy. It's an energy that they feed off
Starting point is 00:32:56 Usually it's usually Yeah You just wanted to keep us updated. Yeah All right Look, all I'm saying is if you're 11 years old, right? And your grandpa and your grandpa and your aunt are both like there's a ghost in the house You're gonna be like there is there is a ghost in the house because like if your grandpa tells you something when you're young like nope It's really read the story of the Enfield poltergeist. Yeah, that's a crazy attach to like a you know puberty and all that other nonsense
Starting point is 00:33:29 Yeah, like yeah, yeah, it's a it's a thing in the paranormal world Shall we continue oh yeah, please? Please Jesse's like I'm about to quit this podcast There were five members of the family that were living at Gladstone Villa my mother my maternal grandfather Bill also, we'll just call him Bill a retired minor who worked at the local Colieri He was a short bald man who liked nothing more than to listen to his country and Western LPs Johnny Cash and Glenn Campbell and so on he also liked westerns on TV that starred John Wayne or Clint East I kind of dude. Hell yeah, my maternal grandmother was Rita. She was a short woman who was a housewife
Starting point is 00:34:10 She was completely She was completely tea total, but liked a smoke what she also Never drank. She never drank. She's smoke. There you go She also liked collecting garden gnomes which red flag and liked watching soap operas on TV My mother Caroline met my father at the local Bakehouse at on in Baldwin Street She was a day shift regularly and my father worked the night shift He would stay behind to make her a cup of tea and chat They dated for three years before they got married on Monday the 1st of April
Starting point is 00:34:43 1968 the Beatles were number one with Lady Madonna very apt They did not get a place of their own, but they decided to live with my grandparents at the villa Which was in Cate of Arcartiff Road? I was born on the 24th of August 1969 when everyone was listening to the latest number one hit in the charts Honky Tonk woman by the Rolling Stones It was soon after that my mother said that strange things started to happen I just can I just shout out just taking good time to just to fill out some of the details of this and making a little read for everybody
Starting point is 00:35:17 I just shout out how cool that is I yeah, I I need to know what the music has to do with this I Know that I was just satisfied with it just being there like Alex is very happy that you're like giving these bands a shout out I feel like I feel like I'm watching a documentary about this this The sepia tone filter is over the I'm gonna it's like background music for this story I get it, but I'm gonna let you know if at the end it isn't like and then the ghost of George Harrison appear before me if I don't get something related to these bands like the role Rolling Stone Rolling Stone
Starting point is 00:36:03 Mr.. Jonathan Rolling Stone Right if I'll get something that's related to this of the Rolling Stone Rolling Stones Yes, I need that I need something to happen Or else none of this that doesn't make sense to me, but all right continue all right I Was just the baby when she said it all started off rather quietly like small tapping here and there But nothing too noticeable, but in time the activity gradually increased One time my mother said the family heard a noise a noise like someone jumping down from the attic and onto the landing Naturally thinking that someone was trying to break in they went to see what was going on when they got there
Starting point is 00:36:40 They found nobody there, but the hatch to the attic was open big nope. Yeah, that's a big no I was thinking about I would still think like Criminal or like a raccoon. I was thinking about those stories where it's like some old lady living in the halls Well, no god. No, no way She like comes out of the hole in the wall and like takes a soda and a newspaper and then just like Scatters back away worse man. That's so much worse. It's so creepy seeing that shit Well, whatever it was eventually occupied itself in the main bedroom, which incidentally was my grandparents room It soon made its presence felt by walking around the bedroom and the sounds of dragging could be heard and this isn't an animal
Starting point is 00:37:19 We're sure this isn't an animal Well, I mean it went on for nine years It went on for the entirety of his life there I'm just saying it could be an animal or a group of animals that opened the attic and had a dragging sound Yeah, that's like a dead or again crazy homeless guy It's Jeff the mom it could be Jeff the mongers Jeff gets around whatever happened to Jeff think about it people Think about it. Just put your brains to work
Starting point is 00:37:48 One day my mother went upstairs to that bedroom to get my father up for work So we could get ready for his night shift when she got to there She was come confronted by the site of the ironing board placed on my father's torso as he slept whoa When he awoke he was astonished to find the situation he was in he suspected my grandfather bill was playing pranks But in time he knew my grandfather was not responsible for it And he told his work friends what was going on there and it got around town that Gladstone Villa was haunted. I Just don't know why the ghost would place the ironing board on somebody's stomach It's trying to figure out like what he's trying to do is what kind of attention he saw party, bro
Starting point is 00:38:26 It's seesaw. It's two kid ghosts. They just want to see ghosts. Yeah grandpa's Bell or whatever. Yep That's great My parents separated in 1972 that's a hell of a right turn and my father left Gladstone Villa But it wasn't because of what was going on at Gladstone Villa It was just a breakdown of the marriage. They finally divorced in on the 25th of April 1975 and the British band the Bay City Rollers were number one in the charts with the bye-bye Bay. What is this leading to? Where is this going? A picture has been painted. He's saying he right now He's saying that the yeah the picture has been painted
Starting point is 00:39:02 But each song that is like number one of the charts seems to like relate to their lives at the time He's doing some writing here that doesn't mean there's connection to it also, but also Saying that he left but it wasn't because of ghosts is equally crazy because why wouldn't you leave cause of ghosts? It was a breakdown of the marriage. They would have stuck it out if it wasn't for you know, the marriage only a part What they're ghosting your house leave Ah So anyway very apt song it would have been amusing but for the fact of what was going on there I was barely two years old at the time
Starting point is 00:39:43 So I have sorry I'm hiccuping but I have no memory of my father living at Gladstone Villa But he would come to see me every Saturday to take me to see my paternal grandparents Into the local cinema great times even though the paranormal activity still continued As I got older I too witnessed the activity for myself. I actually saw the poltergeist activity for myself I saw the electrical cables being pulled by unseen forces I saw the lights going off off and on and when my grandfather bill would play records on the sun on Sunday as the family did That had dinner it would turn the music off It took exception to the British band Slade and any religious TV shows my grandmother Rita would watch maybe it was just a time traveler
Starting point is 00:40:26 That's a theory about ghosts. I think I've talked okay, okay after all this time I mean, maybe they were new at the time, but Slade's got to be played out in England by now Again okay again go ahead Jesse cords being pulled lights being turned off and on Even for the nuisance factor I'd move like even if I was like okay with ghosts and okay with paranormal specters I'd be like you know what I'm done. I'm done with this I'm gonna go move into an apartment It could be like at this point to the owners of the grandparents
Starting point is 00:41:00 They're you know probably older don't really have want to move maybe been here their whole life It seems like a hassle It'd be like you had a neighbor who had parties all the time and he were just like you know I just want to sleep stop it eventually you'd move fear neighbor was like one of the Paul brothers. Yeah constant noise happening. Yes Well, there's more to the story shall we I do like how the ghost actually prefers Very specific music and religious TV shows Maybe that's why the music has to do with it. We'll find out The local police were also involved
Starting point is 00:41:33 I remember them popping their heads into the attic hesitating and then not going in but they suggested it was my father playing a prank on my family a Family friend We'll call her Ivy was she was more of a friend to my grandmother Rita She was very skeptical when my grandmother told her that Gladstone Vila was haunted I can still remember Ivy going into the main bedroom looking around and saying it was by it was vibration from the traffic outside Causing it, but she was soon to change her mind when she experienced everything for herself It was then that she suggested the local the local press in a medium The medium was John Matthews and when he came to Gladstone Vila
Starting point is 00:42:13 He started by asking the family questions He then began by challenging the spirit to perform by knocking on the ceiling and sure enough it responded by knocking back at him We've got a young Zack what's his name over here? Yeah, it's that bagans yelling at the ghost and challenging him Just that's how you get that's how you get possessed man. Ask Zach. He's been possessed like at least once an episode boom Could this be the maid of Gladstone Vila from the 17th century getting revenge for her jilted lover Cut to Zach come at me jilted lover
Starting point is 00:42:46 I am an open vessel for you to possess and he's like carrying a doll around. Yeah, that's him It is at some point John went into a trance to try to make contact with it But he failed to get a name he later confirmed the obvious there was indeed a presence there And it was an earthbound spirit and that it had unfinished business like the movie Casper Very vague. Yeah, exactly. We got Casper. I wouldn't leave Casper was haunt in the place. That's fine You got to give you got to help them finish their business a Priest by the name of Graham Jones was then called to the to Gladstone Vila He blessed the property and after a few prayers
Starting point is 00:43:24 He duly left and it was quiet for a few short months after that no incidents But it did return and with a vengeance and this time it decided to show itself that actually is a common thread as well Failed exorcisms or failed blessings of the house and then whatever it was ends up returning a few months later And just pissed that you basically nullified it for a little while. I've heard that it's true. They do have patterns One evening my grandfather Bill my mother Caroline and I were watching television My grandmother Rita was reading a book when all of a sudden my mother just so happened to look to her left And she saw the full solid figure of a monk standing by the doorway We did not see this as we were otherwise occupied
Starting point is 00:44:06 But she later described it in detail as a monk and typical brown habit complete with hood over the head So she didn't see the face it sounded very much like a 16th century Benedictine what now I know my question I know this doesn't matter that much, but I will say that when I did see what I thought was a ghost It also had a hood covering its face Maybe it's just a monk monk ghosts that just visit people My question is did she let the TV show finish and then tell people I don't know just cool with it Or did she like tell him right the whole world moved slower back then I would have let my show finish
Starting point is 00:44:42 Like if I was like Jesse, I'd be like yep ghosts are real now I'm gonna finish my TV show and then I'm gonna share my knowledge with the world. Thank you exactly But then then we then would be somebody else in Jesse's position at this point in time reading things and being like I don't believe it until I see it right. Yeah, but that's how it should work That's a ghost if you're out there show yourselves come get tired of this you wanted too bad Jesse That's the problem. You mean this gotta be a ghost out there once it just as bad Good, what are they doing hanging out in the spirit realm not wanting to freak people out? Come on if you were a ghost you're telling me you wouldn't want to show up and be like I have unfinished business help me out
Starting point is 00:45:19 Pay $400 for one of those statues behind you to just like tip over right now. I would pay 400 buck would you go stop would you pay also if it goes these are expensive shit if it goes comes in here? I'm gonna get his ass. I'll be like go What are you doing? I'm gonna get crosses up in here and be like get your ass back in here now goes. Oh Yeah, he's gonna be like I can't go in there. You sanctified it Jesse Like that's right cartoon dog Can we go go something when we're in England July? Yes throw that out there. Yes. I want to go
Starting point is 00:45:52 Let's go to a haunted place. Oh first ghost hunting make it happen. Tell for UK ghost hunting We'll go out to be a tour of that. We'll hunt. We'll hunt something. I don't know my nobody got to get some gopros Oh my god. Yeah All right. Let's continue this story. This is great Fred Davies was a friend of my father Bill and they worked together at the local Koli air. Oh wait. Did I hear? No, I'm not okay. Sorry I sounded familiar and he would visit most evenings Fred was a slim man Who would wear a flat cap and glasses very 1960s England in my head? And smoked homemade cigarettes that hung from his lips when he spoke. This is a hell of a picture. I like it
Starting point is 00:46:28 That's what I'm saying. It's he's very good story. What music did he listen to? Yeah, I want to know He would sit in his favorite chair by the open fire and talk to the family and watch TV with us One day Fred was with us in his usual place by the open fire I was quietly playing with my toys by the side was he pushed into the fire Oh, he burned alive and he became a ghost Jesus It was quiet when all of a sudden there was one very loud bang It was so loud that Fred ducked his head and I ran to my mother for comfort
Starting point is 00:46:59 When it was quiet, we all went upstairs My grandfather bill would always be first and I would be last When we go to the to the bedroom, we found nothing that could account for that noise Fred later told us that he ducked his head as he thought it was going to come through the ceiling Fred told us of another experience he had at Gladstone villa My grandfather bill liked to look out the landing window that overlooked Cardiff road and into barcode town center This time Fred had joined him and he said he felt something brush past him When he looked there, there was nothing to be found
Starting point is 00:47:32 The most frightening experience I had was when I was alone in that particular bedroom I made sure the light was on and it was very quiet I was laying on the bed facing the window that overlooked Cardiff road when I suddenly felt something heavy pounce on the bottom of the bed I heard the bed springs go just once and I felt the bed bounce I didn't look straight away, but when I did there was nothing there I went downstairs to tell my family and we all went back up We saw distinctive paw marks on the bed like that of an animal I later found out that my grandfather bill had a black Labrador dog called tovi who died when I was born
Starting point is 00:48:07 His favorite song This is who let the dogs out. This is this sounds so like Specific, you know what I mean It's very detailed like I'm more inclined to believe a story with so many specific details. Nothing is like Amazingly scary, you know what I mean, but that kind of to me also lends to its credibility Nothing is a bit literally a ghost dog jumped on his bed. Nothing is scary. Well, but you know He didn't there's no like and then I found hair and it's here You know what I mean? Like there's nothing here. That's like super convincing evidence sure
Starting point is 00:48:43 But it's just sound it just rings true to me because of its specificity It's it's constantly like making itself known but never long enough or or Uh, I guess like visibly enough to catch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and in the 70s too How quickly can you take out a camera and like get a picture? It's not quite like today where you can whip out a cell phone Right. Ah, gotcha. Right exactly the fucker Yeah My grandfather bill and my mother caroline claimed to have heard a baby crying Uh, uh heard a baby crying there, but as I didn't hear that at the time
Starting point is 00:49:11 I took very little notice of of what they said the activity got so bad that my mother grandmother and I slept downstairs with the lights on It was only my grandfather bill who was supposedly brave enough to sleep there I just like to imagine some old kermut you're like, fuck these ghosts. I'm staying upstairs. I don't care if you all sleep downstairs I'm gonna take sure as a dude from uh courage the cowardly dog if that's cool with everybody. Yes Yes, was Eustace. Yeah, whatever his name is Yeah, that's that was uh, I that's how I kind of see it too Um, it was then that my grandfather, uh, he had he himself had yet another experience in that room He told us that he was lying on the bed when all of a sudden he couldn't move
Starting point is 00:49:50 He couldn't even shout out to uh, to us to help him This could well have been sleep paralysis But he uh, but he was said he heard something in the room with him again That is sleep paralysis potentially sleep paralysis induces hallucinations as well Like it is a miserable miserable situation My aunt had an experience with a ghost where it like jumped on the on the foot of of her bed and like was weight on her legs I had my grandmother had an experience with ghosts when she was in the 1920s when she was a kid
Starting point is 00:50:20 And um, every time they would wax the floors of the apartment they lived in she could hear footsteps and like sliding Like the whatever it was would you like slide on the wax floors over and over again My grandmother freaked her out a ghost story that is like written down and she I think she won an award for it That is like a true story of her life. I should try and find that. Oh, that sounds awesome. Yes, please That could be a fun alex episode if she's okay with you reading Well, she's she has she has shuffled off this mortal coil. Ah, but I don't think she would mind. I think she would appreciate it That'd be awesome All right, let's continue
Starting point is 00:50:52 My grandmother rita had her own experiences One day she went upstairs into that room to get my grandfather up When she saw the boiler door wide open by itself or she saw the boiler door open wide by itself yikes She didn't say stay there to see what it was, but she rushed out of the room Another occasion she said uh, she said she had the sensation of something pulling from under her foot Like she had stepped on uh on his gown We had the ghost for so long that my grandmother rita gave it a pet name She called him johnny and my grandfather bill would shout out that name to provoke a reaction
Starting point is 00:51:29 Nothing would happen. Fuck you johnny nothing Ivy ivy's son charles got to hear about what was going on at gladstone villa And he came along with some friends and with my family's permission. They went into the bedroom. Oh my god It frightened one of his friends and to this day one of his friends still says it was a spooky place at this point If you have like tourists start charging. Is this an airbnb? Yeah, right like a quid a visit a pound a visit. I don't know what they were using back in the 70s no idea
Starting point is 00:52:03 my mother caroline had an operation on her and and I should have gotten rid of that word there My my mother caroline had an operation on her and ended up on crutches to support her The local nurse would tend to her foot My mother was sat on the chair when the nurse came this uh this day and the nurse knelt down to tend to attend to her And she told my mother not to hold her My mother looked at my grandmother rita in amazement as she was not holding the nurse at all My mother made her own conclusions that it was johnny the ghost that was holding her so as not for the nurse to hurt her
Starting point is 00:52:37 I guess the johnny's uh likes part of the family now Yeah, he seems to be coming part of the family and seems to torment the the men And help the women I guess I mean, it's he's very religious question mark. Yeah, he's very religious. He seems like a very religious ghost But also a playa both He is he's a playa The only time I heard the ghost being vocal was the time we were all in the room One of us wanted to use the bathroom and we couldn't get there
Starting point is 00:53:04 My grandfather bill said he's behind there I heard quite distinctly the the sound of gregorian chant and that was it nothing more like Like yeah, except that's around me the halo theme. We heard the halo theme and nothing more Time travel Is that halo or is that destiny? I can't remember it doesn't matter It also sounded a little bit like uh the final fantasy 10 Uh, when you go see the spirit guys theme, this is my story
Starting point is 00:53:42 Mm-hmm Yeah, it sounds like that. Yeah We have to get out of this. Let's move past this. No, it's just the rest of the podcast is you singing weird chants Well We left in the summer of 1978 when two local businessmen bought the property and gladstone villa was eventually converted into a small hotel And its name changed to reds park hotel. Oh my god Could we go stay? Yes. Is that still around? On the night before we moved there was one final incident we experienced as if it knew we were going and that was its way of saying goodbye
Starting point is 00:54:25 My mother grandmother and I got ready to go to sleep The light was still on and then we heard the doorknob turning as if someone was trying to get in At first I naturally suspected my grandfather bill as he was the only one who slept upstairs in that room And we thought it may have been him playing a prank. I called out to him, but there was no answer No laugh that would give him away We then heard our belongings that we were packed in the hallway being thrown around The next day we asked my grandfather bill if it was him playing a joke on us He insisted it wasn't him into this very day. I believe him
Starting point is 00:54:57 That also happens a lot with like ghosts ghosts and poltergeist things getting like just thrown around things that you packed getting unpacked Just seems like they get mad at you for they almost A lot of stories like this remind me of like toddlers. They very much come across as like upset toddlers Who the only way they know how to get your attention is just by causing a ruckus Moving on fast-forwarding quite some time from from them leaving in 1978 He had his birthday his 40th birthday at reds park hotel in august of 2009 for old times sake And it was the female staff that told me about the ghost and I told them about what happened to me They're 30 years before yo this
Starting point is 00:55:37 The staff told me of their own personal experiences lights going on and off the odd sighting in room five A bride and white uh was seen again as with the claims of the baby crying that made no sense to me at the time I did a thorough research of the property and the cardiff road area. I found out has some very interesting things indeed I find out I found out that bar barcode library and local newspaper archives that gladstone vila dates back to 1900 And it was named after the former British prime minister William Gladstone I discovered the previous people that lived there the kimmy it family in 1924 the new one married Uh, the new married couple michael and evalon kimmy and a son named elvin kimmit He died at the property just four months old according to the archives of cardiff newspaper the western mail of that year
Starting point is 00:56:26 This explained the baby my mother and grandfather heard in the bedroom that was crying Mrs. Evelyn kimmy it died in 1970 soon after I was born. Maybe this is why the activity all started around that time I also found out. Yeah, I mean that's kind of an interesting connection I also found that there was a monastery in Baldwin street where my parents met and worked And there is a property directly opposite the former gladstone vila property in cardiff road dating back to the 16th century It is now a public house called the r a f a club a priest high a priest hide is said to be there, but it's sealed up It this explains the monk my mother supposedly so What I have said here is true
Starting point is 00:57:08 I uh, I wouldn't share this if I couldn't possibly back this up and I have used real names as I have nothing to hide Which is why we left off the last names except for the people who are long dead in 1924 And all I have said can be verified by the family of those people I mentioned Sadly, some of the people I've mentioned are no longer with us I challenge any hardened skeptic and firm non-believer and I can assure them that what they will indeed most certainly question their belief system Of this I have no doubt whatsoever. In fact, I am 100 percent positive You may google this property. It is there still it is still there in cardiff road barcode wales uk very near uh Say oh Philly. I'm probably pronouncing that wrong by the way. K. Or Philly is probably I pronounce it in cardiff
