yeah and they could still be living in that time and like i think that's always the the grandest
questions right where do we go when we die regardless of where you are religiously everyone
has that question yeah and i think thinking about it in that capacity like because some religions
believe in eternal life right what if that is our eternal life as we just move to another timeline
and you just keep moving timelines but sometimes they can bleed over and you can have those
experiences wherever you guys are watching this show i would truly appreciate it if you follow timelines, but sometimes they can bleed over and you can have those experiences.
Wherever you guys are watching this show, I would truly appreciate it if you follow or subscribe.
It helps a lot with the algorithm. It helps us get bigger and better guests,
and it helps us grow the team. Truly means a lot. Thank you guys for supporting. And here's the episode. All right, guys, we got a ghost hunter on the show today. Kalani, all the way from UK,
right? No, I'm from, so I'm from Nashville,'m from Nashville, but I've been in the UK so much because I do food reviews in the UK. I'm
like famous for food reviews in the UK and then I do ghost hunting here as a successful ghost
hunter as well. Wow, what a combination. I'm not complaining. Yeah, those are like two really fun
things, right? Yeah, for sure. Which do you lean towards? Um, it really just depends.
I mean, I'm always eating, right? We always got to eat. So like that one's more of a necessity
that I get to film, but the ghost is like my passion project. Okay. Why'd you choose Nashville?
Cause thinking in terms of food, that's not really like top five in the country, right?
Well, no. So Nashville is where I'm from. Like that's where I was raised. I was born in Vegas
and then I've lived in Nashville my entire life but i posted one random video in the uk about me eating food and it took off in the uk what was
the video it was me eating one of their sunday roasts yeah and i wore my hat inside the restaurant
which here it's not really that big of a deal but in the uk let me tell you these folks were pissed
what so they my comment section is filled with like this guy is a piece of
shit oh it's like an insult yes i wonder why so that that catapulted it well it's old manners
it's a lot of the etiquette that i just was not raised with yeah i never never would have thought
of that to be honest but i started posting more and more videos and then if i spent about a week
and a half two weeks i had 55 million views damn off of just eating food in the uk that's crazy and then from there you started the ghost hunting videos no so i started ghost hunting three
years ago oh okay the food just came out came about last month interesting and what compelled
you to get into ghost hunting i saw a ghost when i was 11 which is not your house or no i was at a
battlefield a civil war battlefield in tennessee on a boy scout camp out and i'm tipping people's
tents so i'm like zip tying their tents closed and pulling the poles out and taking off running.
And we're running through this trail. It's three o'clock, probably about three o'clock in the
morning. And I stumbled across a drummer boy, which I didn't think it was a ghost when I first
encountered this kid. I thought it was a reenactor because all the reenactors were in town because
the next day was one of the anniversaries of the battle. So I'm talking to this kid thinking he's a reenactor and like,
he briefly mumbles to me and essentially said, y'all be safe. And then I watch him walk by and
then it just dissipates. So I look, I was with somebody else too. And I know I was not on drugs.
I was 11. I mean, I guess you could be on drugs at 11, but I wasn't. And that was the moment
that like sold it for me that there's something else out there that I don't understand and I want
to know more of. So then I started watching the ghost adventures, the ghost hunters, and
kind of propelled me to start doing my own stuff as I got older.
Wow. So do you think you have an ability to talk to them?
I don't think I have any special gifts. I think I'm just a normal dude that has the desire to find something.
But I think part of the problem or part of the journey is putting yourself in those situations to have those experiences.
It's not necessarily that I think I'm special.
And I know a lot of people have certain gifts.
But for me, it's more about trying to approach it from a scientific standpoint and not as much from the like empathetic
standpoint emotional yeah so you want actual physical proof like on video that was a ghost
or just like with with the time slip thing that we've had recently uh that i've talked about that
to me is starting to make more sense like from a logical standpoint rather than like if i go murder
you outside why are you going to stay here like you're going to go spend time somewhere where you were happy.
You're not going to come back to the spot you were murdered.
That's just my thought.
So that made me think like, you know, what if after that experience with talking to this guy that said he was from the future, right?
What if we're just inter-dimensionally layered on top of each other?
So the past, present, and future are all existing at the same time.
And certain environmental conditions cause those to overlap in certain points that is interesting and when
you look at the paranormal from that sense it makes a lot more sense yeah because you said
you've had three encounters with ghosts from the future right well so three from the future and
they were not super far from each other but But what's really weird is they only happened
when I was doing these week-long investigations,
like where I was living in a place for a week.
But if you think about it, theoretically,
if someone 60 years from now goes back onto social media,
if it exists, they could see where I would be
at this exact time and I would be there for a week,
which would give a larger window of opportunity
to speak to me if they're trying to hone in on that window. So that's kind of something that I looked at. But the second and
third time, we're both at a place called Madison Seminary in Ohio. But what's really weird is one
of those occasions, I had my own voice coming through trying to get me. So yeah, it's really
weird. You're thinking like, I can hear my voice coming through the spirit box, which, for
folks that don't understand, spirit box is essentially just like a radio that is sweeping
at a super accelerated rate, and you're listening for things to mount to manipulate the frequencies,
right?
So you're going to have radio feedback come through every now and then, but to get, like,
sentences and to hear voice inflection and human tone with something that's concurrent with your own voice pretty freaky yeah so it was almost like
whoever me was in the future was trying to contact me of now almost like because he knew that i was
looking for that point of contact and the third time we actually ran a separate test which this
again this was all live so like all of this stuff's on my patreon it's been on there for like a year but i talk about it a couple weeks ago and
then it all blows up yeah but we do this experiment where i'm with my friend and we both write on a
note a secret word and we hide it inside of this haunted location and the theory behind it is if
we hide it well enough are you interested in coming on the Digital Social Hour podcast as a guest?
Well, click the application link below in the description of this video.
We are always looking for cool stories, cool entrepreneurs to talk to about business and life.

And here's the episode, guys.
It should still be there in 60 years time as long as the building is standing.
So I'm listening to it.
We're trying to listen for these words.
We gave ourselves X amount of minutes to find it. And I spit out the word that he wrote on this paper and hid it in the
building. I had no idea what he wrote on the paper, but I said it and like, he was freaking
out. He comes and like pulls me out of the headset. He's like freaking out because I had actually
gotten the information that he wrote on the paper that I never saw.
Wow.
So that's like the moment for me that I'm like, okay,
I really do think there is something to this, but I'm not an astrophysicist. I don't know
how time and space can be empirically, you know, formed on a data plot for that. That's just a
little bit above my pay grade, but I think that's where I've really started to lean towards.
That's so fascinating because when you think of ghosts,
you think of people that died hundreds of years ago typically, right?
That just haven't moved on, but there might be another side to it.
Yeah, and they could still be living in that time.
I think that's always the grandest question.
It's like, where do we go when we die?
Regardless of where you are religiously, everyone has that question.
And I think thinking about it in that capacity,
because some religions believe in eternal life, right? Because some religions believe
in eternal life, right? What if that is our eternal life as we just move to another timeline
and you just keep moving timelines, but sometimes they can bleed over and you can have those
experiences. That's so cool. I have an interesting theory on the spirit world and the dream world.
And since you're sleeping at these places for a week, are you having nightmares while you're there?
I don't have nightmares while I'm there, but I do have really weird dreams. And I even, I even posted a clip the other day. I had a really
weird dream that I was a food critic in a different country about a year and a half ago. And I was a
successful food critic, which at the time made zero sense. But I remember sitting on a tour bus
in a place that I'd never been before. And then fast forward to a month ago, I'm sitting in
Scotland, riding on a tour bus and the
exact moment that i remember for my dream like it lined up perfectly like frame for frame wow
and i look over my wife i'm like you remember when i told you i was a fucking food critic in
another country and i was famous and it made no sense i just had that happen and that was when
that that whole thing just started and i forgot about the dream until that deja vu moment happened.
So I think our dreams are a lot more involved with things than we'd like to give them credit for.
I think so too.
We know very little about the dream world, but there's so many meanings and symbolism in your dreams.
And have you ever had sleep paralysis?
Once.
It is the craziest shit ever.
I had it literally probably two weeks ago first time ever
wow and i'm laying in bed and both my wife's parents have died so like we've been dealing
with that over the past two years yeah and i hear her mom's voice coming from the corner of the room
calling my name and then there was three flower pots sitting on my dresser like i could see my
room as it is but it was like dark.
It was like somebody took the exposure
and just drug it all the way down.
And like in the bathroom, there was like a shadow mass.
I couldn't see anything in the bathroom.
It was just like blocked out,
but I could hear her mom calling my name
from the corner of the room.
And then one of the flower pots was just spinning by itself.
I didn't see anything else,
but like I tried to wake up my wife in the paralysis state.
So I'm shaking my wife.
I'm choking her out, trying to wake her up.
And then she wakes up to her alarm,
and I'm freaking out, and she rubs me,
and then all of a sudden my eyes open.
Dang.
And I was like, I literally was stuck.
I don't know how long
i would have been stuck in that state if she didn't shake me out but i've never had it happen
no wow i've never had anything like that but it was like i could see everything in the room i could
see my wife i could see me but i could not move a muscle like i was literally trying to just move
my thumbs and i couldn't even do that yeah happened to me once too i was getting choked out when it
happened to me it was scary man I used to have to sleep with the
lights on. I used to think my house was haunted and I just found out it was like two weeks ago.
Okay. And that gave me so much relief because like a teenager sleeping with the lights on,
like you're like, you're getting made fun of, you know, I didn't even admit that growing up,
but yeah, I found out a pedophile lived in that house. Well, and that's a weird energy.
Yeah, very weird.
If you've ever met anybody that has been around that,
unfortunately I have without knowing it.
But after meeting this person, interacting with this person,
and then coming to find out later, you're like, that's what it was.
Super weird.
Something's off.
I can't put my finger on what it is, but it's a weird funk that I don't like.
Yeah.
You're probably good at reading energies at this point though, right?
Yeah.
I mean, I think anytime you move up in social media, you get pretty good at reading energy.
Right.
Yeah.
You got to see who's using you and stuff.
You can feel people's intentions a mile away.
Yeah.
And I think in today's world, that's something that the more connected we get, the more dissociated
we get as humans.
Yeah. Are you bringing your wife with you on these trips yeah my wife my wife was interested in it not in the capacity of like living in it for a week getting drugged to all these like
insane asylums and tuberculosis sanatoriums but she's the one that pushed me to go for that dream
and so like she does anything that she can to support me in that capacity.
Nice.
And are you solo for the most part?
Yeah.
Wow.
Just me and her usually.
You got balls of steel.
Yeah.
Balls of steel are just dumb.
It's everyone you want to roll with.
I'll go with the balls of steel one, but yeah.
Do you run into like other people there sometimes?
Sometimes a lot of the places you go,
you can actually like rent them out.
Oh.
Like it's not like you're having to like
break into a building.
Like obviously there's places like that out there yeah but there's a lot of
haunted locations that have history and have reported paranormal activity that you can just
pay a certain price and rent it out for however long you want interesting so like waverly hill
sanatorium right there's probably like 16 000 deaths there you can rent it out for 1100 bucks
a night why did so many people die there? Tuberculosis.
Wow.
So was that the heaviest you felt at that location?
The heaviest place I've ever felt is a place down in New Orleans.
And it's from a super tragic story of 2006.
But a guy suffering from PTSD, substance abuse.
Katrina was going on at that time.
And he ends up killing,
cutting up his girlfriend and cooking her on the stove.
Whoa. So I go to this apartment
where it all happened. Yeah. And the
original stove and the original fridge is still
there. What? And I
didn't know the story when I went into the space.
But the moment I
walked into the bathroom, it felt like my
whole body was just lit up with electricity.
Damn. And there's nothing in there to cause this. Like there's certain, there's certain things that you
can feel like electromagnetic fields from, but not in this scenario. So I walk in there, I'm like,
whoa, like that's like in your face. So then I asked the lady that kind of owns the place, you
know, what happened here? And then she tells me the story. She's like, yeah, that's the bathroom
he cut her up in. Oh my gosh. And I'm like, okay.
That makes sense.
But I'm not a person that claims to be able to read it.
But it is weird how the more you do this, the more in tune you get with your body being able to pick up on weird stuff like that.
Yeah.
Were you able to make contact with the victim for that one?
So that one was really weird because it's almost like whatever's there is stuck.
And there seems to be some level of guilt there but i have to be very careful because like something for me
is i have an ethical compass when it comes to this paranormal stuff because you know these people
passed away in 2006 there's still people alive today that suffered trauma suffered tragedy from
those events and i think it there's a burden that comes on me
to be able to tell their story, recount the history,
but not abuse it in the capacity of I'm just trying to scream
and yell for ghosts, you know what I mean?
Right, yeah.
And that's something that I've really had to battle with.
I just did a house in Iowa where there was a double murder suicide
in the house, and they think they uncovered a bloodstain
from the original murders underneath
the flooring that's in there now but they had something else happen in 2016 where a lady was
dead in the floor so for me like i had i can cover the one from the 80s but the one from 2016
it's just it's just too close too close yeah so i wonder if something like this would be admissible
in court like if you talk to the spirit and got some proof.
Yeah, I mean a lot of people like to think that.
But let's just look at it from like an out-of-box scenario.
If you go to a judge and you're like, you know, a demon told me that he murdered this lady.
The judge is going to look at you like you need to go to the psychiatric hospital. So I think there have been a lot of cold cases
that I think have certain things have come up
that have given them a little bit more to work off of.
Like a clue.
Yeah, I've heard of that happening,
but I've never heard of like a full case
being decided based off of what some,
because this stuff's very, it's a pseudoscience.
Right.
It's very subjective to whoever's administering these tests.
So if I wanted to make
something happen easy but that's not why i'm doing it yeah i'm not doing it to watch stuff go off i'm
doing it because i'm curious as to what happens when we die do you do you believe that when these
ghosts that you're seeing die are kind of stuck there for the most part and they can't freely
travel around when i first started that's what i thought because that's kind of the narrative that pretty much every paranormal
show kind of touches on yeah but the more i do it the more it seems like there's things living
in their time so like when you go to an old farmhouse right at three o'clock in the morning
this farmer comes down his steps and you hear his footsteps you hear steps in your house and
you're freaking out because you hear something in your house and you're freaking out because
you hear something in the house moving but you know that one's there but he's just going out to
the field at three o'clock in the morning so we i think with the way this time thing has kind of
evolved i think it's more of things are living in their time and they don't necessarily know that
they're interacting with something from a different time interesting and i wonder what causes that
portal almost between time zones.
Well, and I've looked at that.
So a lot of times people look at water sources
because a lot of people believe that certain water sources,
especially freshwater, serve as conduits because of the energy that flows.
You've got ley lines that also play a contributing factor
to the theoretical approach to why paranormal activity happens.
But I think there's some unknown answers
that maybe one day we'll find out, but I just need somebody that's smarter than I am to kind
of hone what I'm trying to do to further what I'm trying to do. Yeah. That's what I like about you
though. You're kind of that next level up from, Oh, let's just record a ghost. You're, you're
being like analytical about it and asking questions. Well, because I mean, let's just
look at the facts here with how many years we've been chasing ghosts how many four proof hundred percent clips or
experiences can you show somebody that will turn a non-believer to a believer none yeah there's no
definitive video evidence like if you're not in that moment experiencing it you post that online
and like i think that's what a lot of people have seen with social media is like you have a profound experience you post that online and people like
this guy's full of shit like what what drugs is he on because i want to be on them yep but it's
really different when you're in those environments but i think that's the next goal is is i'm not out
here to prove anything to anybody i'm doing it because it's something that i'm genuinely interested
in and i'm just letting people watch it through my lens.
Certain people theorize that mirrors are portals.
Yeah.
Do you believe that?
I've never had an experience where I think that could matter.
I mean, a lot of people think Ouija boards are like evil, right?
Yeah.
I've played 10 Ouija boards at once on top of the world's largest ouija board
during a thunderstorm and i didn't have shit happen wow and i think part of the combatant
combat you have is like you have the horror industry of like hollywood film mixing with
like certain truths or believed to be truths of the paranormal and people kind of just run with
both so like you look at like the conjuring series and horror movies that are based on true events but you know it's probably
like one percent of that movie is based on true events and the way they happen but i think that's
part of it is is it's all fear-based which when i do my stuff i try and remove the fear component
because somebody that's analytical isn't going to go
into it expecting to be scared. If I go into every haunted location expecting to find a ghost,
odds are I'll probably hear something or have something happen where I think it's a ghost
because that's what I'm charged to think. Yeah. Your subconscious will just kick in and tell you
it's a ghost, make you believe it. Right. But you know, you're in a building that has tons of water
damage mold and it's been deteriorating for 200 years and you hear a noise it's like anxiety right if you feel
your heart beat a little you're going to tell yourself to start freaking out yeah and i and i
think it i mean that transcends into anything right if your mentality is you're going to be
successful right you jump into that your mindset you're going to be successful and odds are you'll
probably end up being successful right it's crazy how much power our minds contain that we just don't ever really
get to tap into. Super powerful. Yeah. You can heal your own body if you train your mind from
disease. It's pretty nuts. Have you gone anywhere where there were satanic rituals or demonic
possessions anywhere like that? I've been to a few places that have had reported possessions.
I went to the Ram Inn, which they're supposed to be two sex demons at the Ram Inn.
The guy that owned it said that there was two demons
that were essentially assaulting him at night,
and he slept with his Bible.
But they had pagan rituals in the same place.
But I think, again, part of the Hollywood stigma
is you hear the word satanic, and you hear the word pagan,
and you instantly think negative.
But you kind of look at
the roots of it and you know a lot of religions are culty in the capacity if we have certain
rituals we do we just call them different things whether that be sacrament or or whatever else so
i think part of it is you're just you hear these like clickbait words like you hear like satanic
demonic which there's been a huge pushback
in the paranormal space of demonic because it's just so overused really and that's something that
like content creators have been battling with is people are like you say everywhere you go is the
scariest night of your life and you said the same thing last week so it's like how many scariest
nights of your life are you gonna have but you know i i just enjoy it because the the field has
grown so much even in
just the the three years that i've been in it that's cool yeah it needs to evolve from just
trying to scare people to just what's going on here yeah and what happened and figure out if
there's a next step i guess yeah i mean i think that's the the progression that needs to happen
um and everybody wants something real in today's world. Like if you've noticed like
the old polished Instagram pages where it was like the perfectly curated photos and the unrealistic
editing, nobody wants that anymore. They want real, they want something genuine because I think
the longer that we progress, the less authentic people become. So if somebody can cling on to
something that feels real, they'll ride it till
the damn wheels fall off i love that have you been to the zach bagans museum out here i have
been in the museum what do you think of it the kevorkian van is wild that's the murder van right
yeah yeah that room the suicide van that that van that that place is that that room is weird
i went to every room and that one's the only one where I physically felt different. Yeah, that one, I think the music also kind of plays into that.
I mean, I do want to say the music in that one definitely kind of set the tone.
And Zach curated that to have that effect, which I think is Zach.
I mean, he's the best at what he does.
No one's going to beat Zach at being Zach.
But that museum's there's so
much investment in it like it's incredible some of the pieces he's got yeah it was interesting
it was my first time i actually went on mushrooms which probably a bad idea but i uh it was
interesting i went downstairs i was talking shit to that spirit box down there and they were
responding and i was like wait if this is pre-recorded there's no way they would be responding
to me yeah so I don't know.
Maybe spirit boxes are legit.
I've had some weird shit come through.
So the Estes method, you put somebody under headphones
and they don't know what you're asking
because that's one way to eliminate some bias
is if you don't know what I'm asking,
you're not looking for an answer.
So that's one step that people have taken,
but there's so many other things that you can do now
if you're really trying to have that experience that shakes you it like because a lot of the stuff is just
like really cheap chinese park crap yeah like just 3d printed that looks cool yeah i don't know how
i feel about the objects yeah like the rim pod like i could sit here with like my key fob and
make the rim pod go so like and i think that's part of the combat as like somebody
that's trying to be real right your definition of real and somebody else's is two different things
but like if i'm sitting in the corner like clicking my walkie talkie to make this thing go off
obviously i'm not i don't give a shit about ghost hunting i just want to make videos and have views
which is fine but but i think for me it's it's more about telling a story because i love the
history component too.
Because I feel like there's so much history that gets lost because people just don't know about it.
Like Jonestown, for example, in Guyana, South America.
So many people don't know about that story.
And it literally wasn't that long ago.
But you got a guy that killed like 900 people.
Damn.
With cyanide Kool-Aid.
That's crazy.
Or Flavor-Aid, I should say.
And no one knows about it. Yeah, I never heard about that. Yeah, So when people say don't drink the Kool-Aid. Oh. That's
where it comes from. Yeah. When was that? It was the 70s. What? Yeah. It's only 50 years. Yeah.
But he convinced people. He moved from Indiana to California and then convinced all those people to
move out to the middle of the jungle. And dude was on all sorts of meth given like 24 hour long sermons and when a u.s representative
came down to get some of his constituents out of there he sent his like bodyguards murdered the u.s
representative on the runway and then once he murdered the u.s representative he knew
the u.s was about to come down yeah so he convinced everyone to drink cyanide flavor aid
and he started with the children because he knew if he started with the children the parents
wouldn't have anything else to live for and you can listen to this final recording on youtube
that's you can hear the crowd get quieter and quieter and quieter because of the people dying
from cyanide that's insane but everybody thought it was a suicide but there's actually people found with shots on their arm so they were murdered they were injected with it right
and like that's the history that i want to to tell not because i'm like sick and twisted but because
if you don't know what happened it will repeat itself right history is bound to repeat itself
if you don't know what happened yeah and you, we've progressed so far as a society.
But, you know, a couple hundred years ago, we were shoving stakes up each other's asses, sticking you on the highway.
Right. So it's like I feel like it's very critical to know the darkest parts of our history so that in the future we can prevent those things from occurring again.
Yeah. History always repeats itself, man.
Absolutely.
It's crazy how that works.
Have you been to Pennhurst yet? I'm going there this year actually I've been to Pennhurst
Pennhurst it's not scary it's it's actually really of an emotional toll because everybody there was
essentially told that they were disabled um obviously in more negative connotation but they
were mistreated I mean it was just a super sad circumstance
and i think the experience i had at pinhurst i was playing tag with a little kid really so i'm
like starting at one end of the hallway and i'm like telling him to go run and touch this rem pod
and he would beat me every time which i think that's kind of bullshit because i can't even see
him yeah but i was playing tag and i the impression i got was it wasn't anything scary
it wasn't anything that i should be afraid of it was just somber and i think when the more you know
the history about that place and kind of what those people went through which that really wasn't
that long ago yeah it's it's grounding in that capacity it's that is interesting very sombering
have you ever brought a medium with you on any of these to communicate better? I have.
But again, I think part of the problem is I'm more science-based, right?
And if you're sitting here telling me there's a ghost in the corner that is there and I can't see it and nothing else is confirming that there's anything there, it's really hard for me to get behind it.
But I have had this theory, like what if this time overlap that we have happen, these people are seeing other people in different timelines, but they think they're ghosts.
But they're just things living in a different timeline.
Right.
And, you know, I've thought about that. And I have encountered a few people that, you know, they've told me things that they shouldn't know about me or they have wisdom about things that they shouldn't know.
And, like, that's been pretty, like, eye-opening.
Yeah.
But I'd say out of 10, there's probably one. Very hard to find. Very hard. about things that they shouldn't know and like that's been pretty like eye-opening yeah but i'd
say out of 10 there's probably one very hard to find very hard i do have one that i know for sure
because like you said she was saying stuff that i've never told anyone yeah there's no way she
would have been able to look it up yeah like if you have those experiences those are the ones that
i would roll with because it's like if you can't look it up online and it's something that you're
ready to take to the grave with you yeah and they're just pulling it out it's like fuck all right you got yeah yeah i feel that
um what about the thermal cameras that apparently the ghosts give off an aura right the the fleer
cameras yeah yeah so fleer cameras are interesting i think they're probably i like fleer cameras
because the thing is if we're looking at energy, all of us have energy, right? Now, I don't understand why they always register as cold.
I feel like they could register as hot, too.
I feel like it's just kind of dependent upon, you know, whatever you're dealing with.
But I have seen some pretty eerie images of things that look like people that register as just completely cold spots.
Wow.
I think there's another thing called the sls camera which do
you remember the xbox 360 connect cameras no i never played that actually so it's like a body
tracker okay right so it has a lidar in it and it sends out dots to track the environment
but the resolution like the pixel resolution of that camera was of a motorola razor really
and this is what people are slapping on like tablet rigs with the connect software saying
they're finding ghosts and i just don't really buy it because it's like if you're telling me that a
a motorola quality camera with a lidar is going to detect a ghost over everything else that we've had
i'm not buying it yeah that's too grainy yeah no it's and then like anything that has a vertical
orientation registers as a figure so like lights tables leg posts all sorts of misreadings so it's just like if you're looking to get stuff
on camera they're great to use but if you're really trying to find something profound
i think you're wasting your time yeah any dream places you want to go to
jonestown where's that guy on a south amer America. You gotta go in the middle of the jungle.
It's in the jungle? Yep. You gotta fly
to Georgetown. That's the one I told you. The guy
made everybody drink a cooler. That's it.
It's Jonestown
is what it's called. But it was
in the middle of the jungle.
I also want to go
over to a lot of the World War II sites.
Not even to make content, but just
to walk into those
environments and feel those spaces like i went into ann frank's house two months ago damn and
i remember reading the book as as in grade school coming up through middle school reading about ann
frank and her diary but to see it in person and to see the bookcase that opened up that they hid in
and like understanding the gravity of them being stuck
there in silence for months on end like being there in person has such a different impact on you
than reading it in a book yeah and like when i have kids one day that's going to be something
that i really reinforce it's like i'm going to either give them the option to go to college
or i'll send them on like a world tour for the same amount of time. Love that. Because I feel like I've learned more from traveling than I ever did from any of my college coursework.
100%.
Yeah, because like you can't teach how to talk to people.
You can't teach being in those spaces.
You can read about all of the stuff in a book all you want.
But until you actually do it, it has no value.
Yeah.
Traveling is so important, man.
Because there's people that never leave their own hometown. Nope then their their their scope of understanding is very very limited yeah it's
minimal and you see that even with like political stuff yeah is is people usually listen to what
their parents told them or whoever whoever they're sleeping with at that time and that's what they
roll with for the rest of their life and they don't ever have independent thoughts or or or any
kind of analysis of why they believe what they believe.
That was me for 23 years.
Yeah.
Democrat because that's all I knew.
I thought Republicans were evil.
Then I left the house.
Yeah.
And then you leave the house and you're like, wait a minute.
I got to pay taxes now.
You ever get super scared before any of your tours or are you kind of level-headed?
No, I'm so chill now.
I've had a few.
I had something run at me. What? I couldn see it but i could hear the steps i could feel the wind
i thought there was somebody in the house with me but i could feel this thing running at me in the
dark and there's nothing there and i had two camera angles it's just me and my wife in here
and you know it's a genuine reaction to because my wife is sitting there and she was filming for me and you just watch the camera and it's just shaking wow because she's like like like Blair
Witch Project shit yeah but I literally jumped out of the way because I thought I was about to
get tackled and there was just nothing there crazy and that's not like something bumping in a closet
or something falling but something literally running at you and I thought I was about to get
hit where was that it was a farmhouse in
the middle of nowhere kentucky wow so you go to like random spots the random spots the one of
ones like the first like i'm the first person to go in and investigate are the best ones i feel
like if you look at it from an energy standpoint if we send 10 000 people into waverly hills
if there are ghosts and they need energy to communicate you're the 10 000th and one so why
the hell they're gonna talk they're gonna be. So why the hell are they going to talk to you?
They're going to be drained.
Yeah.
Or they just may not want to talk because they have that ability.
But you go somewhere where no one's ever been
and they may not know how to communicate.
I think it's weird because it's like they learn how to do it better.
Like they learn how to use the equipment.
And this is where it's kind of like I'm trying to theorize
how this lines up with the time stuff.
But the one-of-one places, like the ones I'm the first person to go in, hands down the craziest shit you'll see.
Wow.
Or residential stuff.
If you go into people's houses that actively live there, that's where you get the crazy demonic, like I think actually real kind of possession.
But like it's crazy because I've got a lot of friends that do a lot of hardcore
drugs and they start seeing like crazy shit and it's weird how they have this impressionability
in these seduced states and they have i mean i think there's a lot of different ways to categorize
a demon i think all of us have demons in some capacity but it's really weird how some
of my buddies that have done like lsd and shit are like yeah dude i start seeing stuff and this
is not a good trip anymore they say that with dmt too a lot of people report seeing aliens or
entities yeah and i mean maybe there's something to that i don't know but it is weird how you kind
of alter your chemical makeup at that point in that moment and all of a sudden you start seeing
stuff you would normally see there must be because it's people from all over the globe that don't talk to each
other seeing the same alien. I mean, that's not a coincidence. Yeah. Like all our brains aren't
connected that way. Yeah. Well, maybe they are. Maybe we're all connected. Maybe we're all just
like a... There's a theory that we're all like part of one soul, one group. Maybe there's somebody
playing like an Xbox and this is like gta6 for them
the more you look into the simulation theory the more it makes sense i know like we made fun of it
growing up but like well i need my simulator to make me some more damn money numerology you
believe in that i've had some weird i had somebody do my numerology for me um i don't know here's my
thing with astrology it's really hard for me because I feel like a lot of the insight it gives you
could apply to anybody
it's very broad
it's just like a psychic reading
they use very broad nets to catch you
but you know
this is a bad saying
because I do believe in some of it
but I always tell people
if you look to the stars for answers
just look up your ass
but you know there is some truth to it
but i have had experiences with things that are very specific to me only have wound up and i've
kind of backed off of not believing in any of it as much and and i i do think there's some things
out there that i can't explain that are valuable to know yeah there's definitely a lot of charlatans
it's a tricky space to navigate. One is with social media.
Just with the psychics and yeah, with everything.
You can literally go on there and say the sky's blue and you could convince 10,000 people the sky's blue.
Yeah.
Or you could say it's purple.
Flat earth theory.
Yeah, no one's going to argue with you.
I mean, these flat earthers, man, they're wild.
Getting millions of views on there.
Yeah, I don't know about that one.
Flat earth.
I don't know about it.
Yeah, I mean.
I mean, I've never been to where I could see it yeah so we can't speak from experience it's all what we believed growing up was taught to us is that true yeah and a lot of it wasn't so then you
got to take a step back and think was that one of the things that wasn't true i don't know i feel
like i feel like that'd be a really hard one to cover up with how many people have gone to like
the space station and stuff be a very tough one yeah that up with how many people have gone to, like, the space station and stuff.
It'd be a very tough one, yeah.
That's a pretty hard NDA to get them to sign.
Yeah.
Antarctica is another interesting one.
Yeah.
I would like to go to Antarctica.
That'd be cool.
I want to go to, this sounds crazy, but I want to go to, like, the Middle East to just see the impact of everything that's happened there.
There's a guy on YouTube called Bald and Bankrupt.
Dude is, like, my idol.
Like, he'll ride around with, like, the what like does he just crazy shit um and he just films
it on just like a simple sony camera wow but what i love about it is just the storytelling component
like he literally is is doing what i love to do which is you just put yourself in the most
immersive situation as possible sometimes it's dangerous, but that's what makes the best stories.
And for me,
like I want every piece of content that I make when my kids come after me one
day and they want to know how dad was,
they don't have to ask me or anybody else.
They can literally just click it on and my whole life will be laid out in
front of them.
That'd be cool.
There's this one dude,
I forgot his name,
but he would go to the most dangerous places in the world.
I think he just got captured like yikes a year ago tell me that but uh i hope my wife doesn't need to listen she's
the one that's always like you don't need to do that yeah there's a fine line i mean he was
literally going to like the most dangerous places in the world yeah i mean you play with fire enough
you will get burned eventually yeah fate but it is kind of fun as you know it's content creators
like you you have two different courts really like you look at like the clickbait side where
you're like staging running people down in the mall and all that like streamer shit yeah and
then you've got the other people that are doing like mr beast level stuff which is just crazy
but i think you've seen so much everyone's just trying to one-up what they've already done that we're just doing like radical shit and where does that where does the line
get drawn yeah it gets dangerous man and i see it even with the podcast even though it's just
people talking but it's like oh i need to do controversial takes and stuff but it's like
let's just chill out yeah because i don't know sometimes it feels like people just start talking
out of their ass just so they can get some clips. Yeah. Yeah. It's not worth it.
Just be real, I think.
Be authentic.
People can see through the BS these days.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Dude, it's been fun.
Anything you want to promote or close off with?
All my socials, Kalani Ghost Hunter on every platform.
I put out a YouTube video every week.
And I'm very active on everything.
Cool.
We'll have to hit up a restaurant together.
I'm a food reviewer in Vegas.
Well, so we'll have to do a restaurant,
and then I'll have to take you ghost hunting somewhere.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
All right, guys.
We'll post that on YouTube one day.
Otherwise, stay tuned.
