There's no place to escape to this is the last time on the left
That's when the cannibalism started
So I've been watching a lot of fresh out on YouTube have you seen this what is fresh out this show is about
It's a it's a big huge man
It just fresh fresh from the penitentiary and people said in questions about fucking like what's life like on the inside
I know when you're locked up in a who scout and I got to say man
You better be careful not to be a Peter watcher
All right because you can get your wig split if you're a chomo you get your wig
Oh my shot color comes up to the yard
You're doing your machina even if you're in the middle of your machina and he puts you out on a call
He puts you out on a work and you're making pruno you got to do something like that
You got to deliver up to the big dog. All right, and you don't roll up with your homies man. You can get your wig split
There's so many ways. I can't wait to see you in part. You need to be incarcerated so bad
I would love to watch you in jail. All right. This is the last podcast on the left everyone
I am Ben Kisselt that is Marcus Parks. Hey, I guess recently released from prison Henry Zabrowski
You got to get your back up against the wall so you only have to defend three sides
Oh, you can make a shank out of toothbrush. You can make a weapon out of a sock and a lock. It's called a sock and a lock
Okay, well, I gotta tell you this that's honestly Kisselt. What would be such a big bitch mark for them
I of course they would and the rooms are 11 by 6 for the most part so I couldn't even lay down either direction
Anyway, we're gonna have to call you but think about it. Kisselt. What they'd call you like the question mark
Oh my god, yeah, exactly. I would look like royalty with spina bifidus. All right, all right
Let's get to the end field. Let's get to the end field poltergeist part two. It's only spooky. You're from here
Now we picked the story back up in December of 1977 just three months after the haunting began in
16 months before it would end and things would only get worse for the Hodgson family from here
The poltergeist appeared to be getting more powerful as with the iron grate of the fireplace that we talked about in the last episode
The one that almost hit the little boy in the head
Oh, yeah, the poltergeist opened the metal door of the refrigerator so hard that it hit the Hodgson stove and left a large dent
Now do we know for a fact that norm from Cheers wasn't just drunken in their house at midnight?
No, he's an American it was mr. Belvedere. Oh
I see I apologize
But it would do innocuous things as well such as when it lifted a pile of folded clothes off the kitchen table and
Tossed them five feet away to the floor still neatly folded all in the plain view of gross play fair and the family
And you would believe the Oak Crumbs were heard across the neighborhood. There is also
Poltergeists are very naughty, but not evil. Yeah, that's the thing we talk about all the time is that when you cover poltergeist
Is that they normally do things that are very kind of like mischievous when they just do it to annoy you very juvenile, huh?
It's very juvenile. It's like and they say it's like there's a child in the room
Except you don't want it to be sitting on your lap
Definitely not wait. Do you want children to be sitting in your lap? Why would you go down this road?
I do not want it to all right fairly soon after Janet's picture drawing exhibition with the Brazilians
She and sister Margaret started sharing dreams yelling at each other in their sleep and in one incident Margaret yelled
Go away you tinny of things running about destroying things like a little Dr. Seuss
Oh, that's kind of fun. That's a cute little rhyme a play fair and gross knew that the girls weren't faking as they have performed the
inappropriate if it was anyone else
Sleeping tests on them such as forcing their eyelids apart and tickling their armpits just thank God for these kids
They didn't wake up during that. How horrifying is it? No, just making sure you were asleep
I was asleep before you open my eyelids. It does say mean inappropriate, but I'm from the SPR
So this is that this is a part of our exercises
I mean, I need to suck in all of out of her belly button and if she doesn't respond
She's asleep. Let me just
Just stay asleep
Seriously, would you stop treating me like a human martini, please? But
They did find that the girls would answer questions during these dream episodes
Margaret was asked just what those tin little things running about destroying things were to which she replied
Number one is a baby number two is a little girl
Three is a big girl four is a very young girl about 15
Five is a very old lady
Six is a young boy
Seven he's getting on to about 18. Eight is an old man
Number nine. I don't know what it is. He hasn't got a face
And number ten he's gone away. Wow. Well, it got scary with number nine
It's just basically a DMV line and then it got spooky there
No, she then suddenly said the name Frank Watson Watson being the
How many times have I woke it up in the night Frank Watson? Oh
Watson was the same name that Janet had written underneath the picture of the wooden bleeding from her throat
Remember from the end of last episode and when Margaret was asked who Watson was Margaret said the man who died in the chair downstairs
Oh, that is creepy. See it's cute. It's creepy like that
But then if you say it be like the man you don't it ain't down stays
Then it becomes like silly. Yeah, it comes like I mean it's leading a tour around downtown London
Yeah, or the spookiest house in public housing
The neighbors later confirmed that Frank Watson had indeed died in a chair from a brain hemorrhage in
The living room Wow, I gotta say that is how you want to go on a lazy boy aneurysm boom
Gun awesome. Oh, yeah
Now that they had proved that they could use the unconscious to at the very least glean information from the entity
Playfair decided to hypnotize Janet to see if he could get any more information
To do this he brought in SPR member dr. Ian Fletcher
Now apart from being a hypnotist dr. Fletcher was a surgeon and a member of the magic circle
Which is a British organization dedicated to the advancement of the art of illusory magic with a C
Not to be confused with ritual magic with a K. Thank you dog meat. Thank you again always say that because it comes down to yes
There are parlor tricks. All right. There are parlor tricks
There are things that have to be used for deceitment and for amusement, but then there are other things for use for accentuating
Your ability to make things happen in your reality
And I'm glad and this man was just really good at making coins appear out of children
Uh-huh. I get the feeling that all of the elastic on his underwear is overstretched and I don't know why yes
very large man
So dr. Fletcher drew Janet into a trance and started asking questions the first few questions were mostly about what had been happening in the house over the
Last few months and Janet's answers all matched up with the evidence and testimony at hand
Then Fletcher asked a question that debunkers often point towards as proof that the girls were faking the whole damn thing
When dr. Fletcher asked if Janet knew who had been causing all the activity. She said me and my sister
Sister hmm, but people who use this as proof are completely ignoring all of the answers Janet gave following this one
When Fletcher asked why she thought she and her sister were to blame. She said don't know
Fletcher then asked who started the trouble and Janet said none of us and
When Fletcher asked what the case of the trouble was Janet
depressingly replied an
increase in unhappiness
Oh
It is incredibly sad. I'm almost wondering if the government needs to go and maybe take the kids away
You can't take away children for being depressed. All right. All right. That's true. That's nanny state stuff. I got it
One of the nicknames of London is foggy old London town
It is a foggy sad place an increase in unhappiness is expected
I think I'm mostly should dr. Fletcher's immediately being like well
You should probably have a stiff upper lip then because it only gets worse than this
Yeah, can't wait to have to line up for teabags when we're in world war three
Janet then said something surprising now according to her answers
She never really paid much mind to Maury's gross and guy play red despite them being almost constant fixtures in her life
For the previous three months. She actually she said that her answers kind of implied that she regarded them almost as just
Furniture. Hmm. She didn't even really seem to have much interest in the paranormal
Even after months of questions and attention regard regarding the activity Janet still referred to the poltergeist as
The polka dice the polka dice
Reminds me of growing up in Wisconsin when you were allowed to be drunk at eight as long as you're wearing a kill
polka dice is a really fun
It's a really fun dice game to play unless you get snake eyes, and then you have to blow old uncle Gorski
Not good. Oh
We used to wear a lot of later hosin growing up. You wouldn't believe it. Did you oh, yeah
We had a full later hosin as a family really. Oh, we have a family. Oh my god. It's adorable. I have to see it
Yeah, we were a cute family. Did you come were they like handed down from family? I know I think they were bought especially for us kids
It's part of a simulated into our German culture. You didn't have to scrape the little asses off of them. Thank you, Henry
Well, really we're talking about right now. We're talking about
Guy play for our Maurice gross being regarded by Janet as merely like pieces of furniture
Just something that she has to deal with but this is only like three months into the whole thing
So as we talked about in the last episode, you know Janet kind of treating these guys as father figures
They were around for well over for almost two years
So it could be that that relationship developed as time went on and as we'll see that relationship does in fact develop
Now following the hypnotism session the entity began bending spoons as was the style at the time in
The late 70s a self-proclaimed psychic named Yuri Geller got famous for going on TV and bending spoons
Seemingly with his mind
He currently uses this power to sell corn flakes in the UK
It's sort of fake. This is one of the more fake behaviors in the entire haunting is the spoon bending
Yeah, that is a thing that I think that she watched on TV and she did because they had very thin silverware
Because this was working class United Kingdom. Yep, they are not this is they did not have the heavy China
Yeah, isn't the Queen's like silverware there and this is like
1977 so shit was really really bad in the UK at this time
So the poltergeist or Janet depending on who you ask took a cue from the spoon bending craze and started bending spoons all
Around the house Peggy Hodgson actually saw it happen with her own eyes twice with each spoon bending in exactly the same spot
So they fit together perfectly. That's the interesting part about the spoon bending
But that's also if you believe Peggy Hodgson. No, it was very exact and also
It it's the same thing with the notes possibly left by Janet that kind of shit where it's like it's a very complicated
hoax
Janet needs to be some sort of like a genius when she goes to sleep in order for this to work
Yeah, I mean like she was a very strange little girl
Yeah, you wonder if you know there's a there's a spoon bender in town
But then someone comes in bending sporks and then that guy's out of business
But sporks are usually plastic because then there's tougher to bend unless you got a lighter well this right here after the spoon
Bending this is when the infamous voice began
Now as we said in our last episode when the Hodgson family was on holiday to clockton on sea
Peggy had been awoken in the middle of the night by the sound of a dog barking coming from her children's bunk beds
Oh, they always wanted a dog
In December of 1977 the noises came home
It began as a combination of loud whistles and barking coming from Janet's
Facility, although the noises didn't seem to have been made by Janet herself
They always seem to be coming from behind her. Did they see any New York City construction workers?
You ever had a New York City? I mean, I know the whistling, but you ever had one bark at you
I get it. I honestly get catcalled all the time from from construction workers. You don't get catcalled
You just get hey big guy. Hey big guy
No, but some of them you can tell are just like I'd like to ask you on a date
Because of social standards and the homosexuality that is not looked upon
Positively within the community that I'm currently working with I cannot sexually hit on you, but I can't say you play basketball
I got barked at by a construction worker, and it was an attempt to scare me
It happens to all of us well concerning Janet whistling Janet had particularly large teeth at this age
You know when I hit puberty my hands and my feet were the first things to grow my hands and my feet are still at six foot tall still
Grossly outsized for my body. They are but they were the first things to grow when I hit puberty
So I was about six inches shorter with Janet the first thing to grow on her was her teeth like a mule like a mule wow
She she is somewhere between a mule and she's got like an old English man's mouth
inside of a little girl's body
Fun well according to play fair these gigantic teeth made it impossible for her to whistle
Oh, she can't wish her a nice you got it. Oh, you're gonna have to chisel these down for how to whistle poor girl
She'll never be able to play with Art Garfunkel
Just trying to shave them down like like the toenails of Jim Carrey and Dumb and Dumber
But play fair gross reason that if the poltergeist could make noise then it could ostensibly speak and so contact was made
Present at the first communication aside from Glossom gross and play fair were two other SPR members named Anita Gregory and
John Belloff
Here is audio from that first attempt at communication. Let me hear you say my name. Come on. Let me hear you say my name. That's not my name.
Let us
Say dr. Belloff. Come on. Let me hear you say that
Come on. Let's hear you say dr. Belloff
Say say dr. Belloff
Oh
That's scary stuff. Yeah, that voice is coming from an 11 year old girl
The barks the voice that's all coming from a little girl
Hmm, but they did the same thing right with the the person that did the voice for the exorcist
It was it was a woman that they had a strap to a chair and she would change smoke
They would put cigarettes in her mouth to make her change smoke and they'd give her feed her raw eggs
Do all this shit and they tortured her and that's her saying it's very difficult
For this voice to have been made by a little girl
Especially if you listen to Janet's real voice if you watch the interview when they did like the actual the real footage that exists from the
BBC when they were first investigating the haunting she does just sound like a
Yeah, I mean like it's not she did not have the voice abilities of a Henry Zabrowski
Oh, I is the very talent. Hey, come on. Come on Henry Zabrowski. Let's see a little bit of poltergeist action here
I'm trapped inside this get me outside of this little girl
I don't this is illegal. It's illegal for me to be inside this little girl
Technically in the ghost realm that is allowed
So this was this was Janet that was this noise was coming from Janet this noise this voice and we'll hear even more from her
Okay, now further questions revealed the name Joe Watson
I went miss Watson
Yeah, Frank and Joe Watson Frank and Joe Watson double Watson's and when mr. Watson was told by Maurice gross that he was dead and
Should move on very forcefully I might add hmm gross got a well-placed
Fuck off for his troubles. Wow. Yeah, he did medicine kid. It said fuck off you with its favorite saying
That's all it would say fuck off
This is great, so it's sort of maybe it's a bit of a Tourette syndrome or something like that
Well, we're gonna get into that. Yeah, actually that is that is very much something that we're gonna get into now the big rub here
At least at first was that the voice only came when Maurice gross was out of the room or when no one was looking at
Janet but the thing was doing that voice for hours at a time which Janet was sometimes known to do would have left
Anyone's throat rot especially the throat of a 12-year-old girl, but she was never horse
No, she never cleared her throat never she didn't cough even me just doing the voice
Just then is very difficult for me to do it still hurts and I smoke and drink and and she live a terrible life
And it's very difficult for me to do even try it like I can try it like I'm a little girl
Smokes cigarettes. I never want to hear you say that again
I
smoke cigarettes
Lord you all sound like Carrie Fisher right now
And even that her right been been a repeat like you try you try you try pull two guys boys
I'm a little girl that smokes cigarettes all the time and drinks modellos
I hit on tolman when I'm working in construction sites
Hey, I got any gum
No, no either Janet was getting secret ventriloquism lessons after school or
Never say that again
If you're a parent of a kid though, and you're just like they're not coming home on time at your school
What's going on? They smoke and weed they're smoking cigarettes do and dope and you're like
Secret ventriloquist lessons. This is worse than we thought wait a second are these racist puppets
It's just done them. What is happening?
Well either it was that or there was something even weirder going on the whistling in particular is interesting
Now I didn't know this but sometimes whistling accompanies possession
Such as it did in the case of the devil of my scone in
1612 and that is a story that we need to do an entire episode on it's an incredible story
There's all this nun fucking in it. It's not lesbian nuns and like a priest is just coming in and sticking his like trying them out
Like he's like just tasting perfumes at a mall. He loves these nuns
Now we might have actually covered it now that I remember it seems like we've covered the devil of my scone before I think it was on the
Black monk of Pontifract case. I think we mentioned it briefly
Well, we'll have to go back and listen to the audio where Henry gets audibly aroused and we'll find out if we were covering that subject
Or not. Well, what I didn't know about that case though is that that's case at the same progression of loud whistling into a horse
voice speaking through a young girl and it is
Doubtful that Janet Hodgson knew about the obscure possession case from the 17th century
Right, and there was another story in Brazil that had the same exact thing
We see this story like they are tropes for a reason now
The idea of noises and things moving around building to a voice coming out of a central person that's located
That is essentially the what the poltergeist is attached to it's very common now
But in that and back then there was not a lot of books you in order to find those books
You had to be a Dan Ackeroid you need to be someone who's obsessed with it. You need to be working for
Working at the SBR you'd have to know where to find this material
Well, I mean actually what is it Peggy Hudson did actually go to the library and find a book on ghosts
But it was pretty rudimentary stuff, and she just took it back to me. It's ain't nothing to me
I've never seen a man
They dressed with a fancy wig on like back in the day
I've never seen a man with a seat on because I tell you one thing I'll see a man with a seat on first thing I'll say is it clean
Is it clean so I can include it in the next batch because the water is getting hot
All right, so you want to return this you just want to return the library or book. You didn't like the library or book
You got any eggs do you have any eggs around any buckets or scrub brushes. That's my favorite smile new friends
So the day after the first communication Gregory and Bella off who were present at the bark bark run rum
Is that the world's dumbest bar bark bark rum rum?
Yes, they wrote a note to play fair and gross saying that the girls were most likely hoaxing everyone and had been
From the beginning and this would be a common occurrence in this case people would show up for a day
Sometimes no more for no more than a couple of hours make snap judgments and declare the whole thing a hoax
Not despite the note play fair and gross continued on they found the next time they contacted the voice it referred to itself as
Bill rather than Joe and Joe said the reason why he was repeatedly throwing Janet from the bed was because that was where he
Slapped now this falls in line with Peggy's claims that she had seen bed sheets fly off the bed
Followed by the indentation of someone sleeping on Janet's bed when the girls were off at school
Now play fair tried various tricks to see if he could get Janet and the voice to talk at the same time
He got Bill and a sing-along to daisy daisy and play fairs to the Janet could switch from her own voice
To the entities voice without missing a beat. Hmm. They started singing daisy daisy. What's the what's daisy daisy?
The it's in a British song that everybody knows because they're forced to know like 20 songs
You know drinking songs, you know fighting songs, you know fucking songs, you know little kids songs
That you get them to sing while you're fucking and fighting. Yeah, it's it's very simple
It's not like it's like it's the end of the world as we know it or anything like that
It's not a complicated. Oh, that is the most complicated song in the world though
Yeah, as I learned from watching Tommy boy. Yes, absolutely, but they it's true
They started talking they were getting this rapport with the voice and eventually they're sitting there
Jen it's got their back to them, right and they're tired there because that's what they would do in order to talk to her
They would just turn her around and she would talk at them and
They're searching a daisy daisy and literally you just see her shoulders back and forth going like daisy daisy
Give me your answer true
Like a weird ass slipknot record and they're just recording it
But they're laughing because I think it's the funniest thing in the world
Which is another just being like what's happened in this house that this is now funny
And then they're like this rendition of daisy daisy is going to be huge in, Iowa
And they have this thing here too. We're sick bill started laughing bill's gonna
But then Janet's laughing to going
And they said they were just octave separated from each other so and they were started laughing together in harmony like
One little girl I really wish we had audio of this, but unfortunately our resources I eat YouTube
Only got us a few minutes of the hours upon hours of audio that grows some play fair recorded
But what we do have is still pretty damn cool
Here's Maurice's son Richard asking the entity a question about itself
Where do you remember what happened to you when you died
Just before you died and just after you died
There is before I died my day
I've been blowing
I had an image and I fell asleep and I died in the chair in the corner downstairs
Geez, so that is that's coming from Janet from an 11 year old girl. My goodness. This is a it's incredible
And what you do here too is you hear a marble drop as well
They talk about like while this is happening remember well all this is happening even if she is fucking around even the tiniest bit
Yeah, marbles are falling from the ceiling Legos are shooting across the room drawers are opening this shit has not stopped
These people have not slept in months chairs are flipping. They are sitting there and they're watching this little girl even if she's pretending
She's going apeshit. Oh and a partner in my mind again
It talks about the psychedelic nature of hauntings and abductions when you're sitting here and like you're just now in this room of
insanity and
Maybe it is a little bit of a psychosomatic thing
Maybe it just crawled in for the background, but it's it's something is using what we're gonna find out is that it's her back vocal cords
So we'll go into this something is using her as like a little amplifier. Yeah, yeah
Well, one of my personal pet theories about possession is that I think that it has something to do with the collective unconsciousness
Like there's something in certain people's minds something breaks open and all these different energies
Enter into this person and then speak through them, which is why sometimes you'll have people speaking in languages that they've never heard of before
Well, I heard that Janet was taking secret ventriloquist classes
after school
Now Richard that's Maurice Gross's son
He was a little apprehensive about buying the whole story
Especially when he discovered that the voice would only speak if he was looking away from Janet and would stop the moment Richard turned his head
But what really piqued his interest was that the voice stopped if Richard even thought about turning his head
And this is where okay
I don't know whether I'm just so delusional and so hopeful for a sign of the paranormal
But I do think that there is a difference when they talk about in physics, right?
The idea of observed and unobserved reality and how they behave differently about how like when you look at something
More shit happens. There's also experimental bias to shit like that where you can make it happen sort of by looking at it
And I also I kind of wonder if there's something to the idea of just the observation of the activity
Gives it the energy it takes to go and then when you turn it away basically it expends it
It's like you charge the battery and then you turn away and then it shoots it out the other side
Yeah, that's you really can't as soon as you start filming reality you change it exactly if you look at the Jersey Shore
Or they were actually very they were scholars, but then they put the cameras in there and they turn into alcoholics
Snooki knows how to read another wonderful current reference
That our listeners will understand Jersey Shore
Now it must be said though that the voice shared some personality traits with Janet such as their shared habit of
Abruptly changing subjects in the middle of conversation
Once when Margaret was talking to the voice about where it came from the voice said
Oh, what's some jazz music? Get me some now
They got him back on track
But the voice said he came from the local graveyard when they asked him why he had moved on to the next plane of
Existence with all the other spirits in the graveyard. He gave the coolest possible answer. He said, oh, I'm not a heaven man
What could be more fun than that? I have always said foggy old London in 1977 is heaven on earth
Especially when you're in low-income housing
Now there is one other incident in particular that points towards Janet being the sole source of the voice on December 14th
1977 Janet officially
Flowered if you know what I mean, I know what you mean. Thank you. Yeah. I mean, which is totally wonderful
We know that she had a she had a public for entwilic wisdom lesson. I think that's a good thing to call it
But why are you calling a public ventriloquism lesson? I don't know
I don't know. Maybe we're not the experts on this subject. What do you think?
What do you think the giant is do during an instruction again, Marcus? Why tease the question? Why even tease?
Well, I know that what what happens is is that on a very special time when a girl is just grown up enough but not grown up enough
a little doll inside of her wakes up like
Oh, uh-huh and says mommy mommy mommy time to paint the legs
Is that a good way to is that a good way to say it and then she gets out her crimson and she gets out her ruby reds
Is that true? I?
No, I'm gonna go with no, but I like the idea come out
Yeah, I know eggs come out and then the lining is also just kicked out of the house like it's a like it's a 17-year-old punk
Yeah, I started doing drugs. Yeah started being a drummer in a band. Well the night that Janet first flowered
As gross play when you say flowered it's worse than Henry's terrible description
I don't think there's anything wrong with me saying flowered. Well, you say it anyway. That's fine
Well that night as gross play fair in an SPR colleague named Hugh Pincott
We're having a discussion with the voice the voice suddenly asked why do girls have periods?
It's play fair and gross tried dodging the question because
But after it became clear that the voice wasn't gonna talk about anything else but periods
Pincott because play fair and gross refused to talk about it despite gross having a grown daughter
Pincott went into the room and explained it all in great detail
So this is obviously Janet sex ed a strange sort of haunted sex ed class. Yeah. Well, that says it's yeah
Why would the ghost care about periods? Yeah, especially on the day that Janet first got her's unless maybe the maybe the ghost
I mean the ghost had no sex education growing up
I would imagine maybe it was a lonely old man Janet got her period and the ghost was like always going on it
So now we have a ghost living inside
Yeah, so the ghost is in there so he's just like why it's all it got leaky inside of the the vessel that he was in which is
Yes, or something. Yeah, I honestly I think it's weird that she didn't have to go to health class at Spooky University
She had to talk to paranormal
Psychologists about her first period. Yes, she did. She had to talk to a man named Hugh Pincott to go to the doctor
No, no, no, you see I'm not now
What happened zoos is that I'm
a woman of a
No, how do I put this and delicately your body is changing? Well, both Janet and the voice listened very
Closely without interrupting once and that was something that neither Janet nor the voice ever did they were both pretty bad about interrupting
But play fair of course he was a smart guy
He thought it was a little strange that the voice would ask about periods on the same day that Janet first got hers
But when he asked the question
The only answer he got was a Kurt fuck off. Oh, honestly
It's a very a play fair it did kind of figure out the two of them looked at each other
And he walked and he says like it just seems to be very interesting that they did you would ask why you need to know
About periods and all this and we like straight up being like are you Janet?
Are you Janet? Are you just being yourself or Janet talked to us and then she went fuck off and then like had a seizure
And then went to sleep. I
Think that's what I would do the first day ahead of period have a seizure and then go everyone to fuck off
Yes, fuck off
But it does seem that there is a connection between the old menstrual cycle and
Paltregeist activity definitely haunting reached a new level soon after her period began because that is when the levitation started
So yes, like the voice nobody actually saw the levitation in full as it was happening
But there is still circumstantial proof that it happened David Nottingham the neighbor gave Janet a red pen
After she told him that she'd been levitating
He told her that if she levitated again
She could use the pen to draw a circle around a light fixture that would be impossible for her to reach
Otherwise without loudly moving the bed across the room and as soon as Nottingham left the room and closed the door Janet
Nonchalantly said I'm levitating
Okay
David tried to open the door to go inside
But he found that the door wouldn't budge and when he finally did open it
Janet was back on her bed and the ceiling had a red mark right where David had asked her to make it cool
He was right outside the door
And if she had if she wanted to move the bed to make the red mark
She would have had to drag the bed across the floor
Get on the bed and then jump up off of the bed to draw a mark
And of course the mark would have been messy as hell, but Nottingham said that the circle was very neat
But even though David didn't see it with his own eyes three other witnesses in the neighborhood outside the house that very same day
Would see something themselves
Janet said that after she made the mark
She had passed through the wall of her bedroom into that of her mother saying it was all white
When Peggy went to check her room. She found a copy of Janet's book funding games for children on the floor
Even though she was sure she had just seen that book in Janet's bedroom just prior to the levitation incident
David decided to test the entities matter transfer abilities because he was thinking it's like okay. Well, maybe
Peggy's mistaken. Maybe John little Johnny left the book over in the other room
Uh, so David Nottingham said all right pass this big red plastic cushion through something
It's gonna be my charter in a little book and the entity said all right, Davey boy
I'll make it disappear and no sooner did David walk out of the room that Janet called out again
And when David walked back in the red cushion was gone. So where did it go? Where did it go?
Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go fuck off?
Why is the cushion talking?
Well, that's where the witnesses come in a
Neighborhood tradesmen who knew there were strange goings on the Hudson house was walking down the sidewalk looking in their general direction
He said one moment there was nothing on the roof and the next the big red cushion appeared without anyone opening a window
Then there was the crossing guard and her friend
They also saw the cushion but in addition to that they said they saw through the window Janet bouncing up and down
Briefly appearing then falling again. Only thing was she was bouncing up and down on her back
Horizontally about two feet above her bed as if someone was lifting her from her shoulders and feet
That debunker say that Janet was a sports star and very athletic which she was she's 11. She was a gymnast
Okay, oh there are no, but oh, yeah, there's a Dominique Marchiano was like 13
Remember Dominique. Do you remember Dominique Marchiano?
I don't yes, well you remember your 13-year-old desires
Yes children in China age out of being gymnast by the age of nine
And I suppose it isn't impossible for a 12-year-old girl to be able to bounce two feet in the air on her back off a thin
Matrix, but if she was able to do this along with everything else along with the voice along with all the objects being thrown around
Without anybody seeing them with that by making objects appear and disappear in other places
She had a hell of a career in show business waiting for she's able to do all that
I completely agree with that even if if there are no ghosts the story itself is incredible with just Janet being an
Amazing performer. That's right. She did have an incredible SNL real like she would have been amazing for the show
Like a regular Kate McKinnon, but I also think that there is maybe
Maybe the body is being manipulated by a spirit to do certain shit
Maybe she is bouncing up and down on the bed, but it's almost like a maniacal
She's attached to it and so your your body is then allowed to do something that it's normally
It would not be able to do sort of like what we talk about with ritual magic and shit like that where it's sort of it
It's increasing her abilities almost
But what they all said was is that the bed was an old British piece of shit
And it couldn't be bounced on and that guy play for himself said you like I went and I tested the bed to see the
Bounceability of it and I could hardly bounce at all not saying that he didn't have British ankles
Which means that his heels hit his ankle bones every time he puts pressure on it. Oh, so I don't know brutal
Well speaking of show business
Hmm, it's time to enter the magician. Yeah, all right
So by this point the infield Haunting was becoming known far and wide in paranormal circles around the world and word had reached
All the way to the society of American
musicians
They said a magician investigator named
Milborn Christopher who was put on the case by Dr. Dingwall?
Dr. Dingwall is never gonna fail to make me laugh
The definition of a humorous name
A play fair said that he was happy to host the magician just so long as he didn't tell the girls
He was a magician because he didn't want to get the girls excited
Good look at the magician to shut up about being a magician all these magicians are just
Losers that have spent years making their fingers so quick. They can fool every woman they see
But they're very good for the cloak industry
But yeah, very good contributing to the economy
That's right, but with them minutes of the magician meeting the little girls Milborn just started showing them card tricks
Oh, they can't help themselves a regular old Chris Angel true TV would give him a show. Oh, yeah
Now there is some debate between play fair and Milborn as to what happened on the evening the magician spent at the Hodgson house
According to the magician there was a commotion filled night in which he didn't actually see anything happen with his own eyes
It was a lot of hubba. Oh, there was a lot of crashes. There was a lot of booms a lot of bams
Wow, but he didn't actually see anything with his own eyes. It all happened when he was in a different room
Then after the girls were put to bed and play fair went down into the living room the magician
Stayed on the staircase weird. Yeah a little
He said Janet appeared at the top of the stairs and in the words of the magician
I produced a flare of light in the air and when play fair asked him to elaborate the magician said
Haha, yes, a flash of light. It's a magician's thing. You wouldn't understand. It's a magician's thing. Oh, I see
The magician said that after he produced the flare
Janet hurried back to her room without saying a word and he used this incident to prove Janet was only coming out to see if
The course was clear and had the magician not been there waiting for the little girl
She would have just thrown something down the stairs as further proof that the poltergeist was still active
This is a fun house to be a kid. No, you have a little kid that no longer has a father
That already has two other weird strange men essentially living with her in the house
You bring another man whose job is trickery in the house that they have just met and you say everybody go to sleep
He then sits on the stairs
Uh-huh instead of where everybody else do a normal shit. He sits on the stairs just staring upwards
You think maybe it would probably disturb the sleep and you'd want to turn around there
Maybe take a look at it what he's doing rather than wonder what he's watching you do
You're a little girl and you see a man with a top hat on with a feather sticking out of it
Yeah, fancy shiny shoes on and a tuxedo on just at the bottom of the step just lighten flammable paper
Throw it in front of his face. Oh, it's an illusion
Go to sleep little girl. Don't worry. You see how I make my oh my wand is now limp now
See how I make my wand hard again
Go to sleep little girl
Well the tape recorder told a different story than the magician told
During the earlier commotion Janet's bed had collapsed shows so she was staying in the spare room by herself
And after she had gone to bed the voice started up the voice said get out
Oh, I'll double shit to you. You get stuff. The ghost is right
Janet is correct. Get out of my house magician and two other dumpy weirdos
Double shit to you magician get stuffed yourself. You dumb stinky magician in there with you with your big coins
Your big coins and your squirty flowers. What are you Jackie Zabrowski? That's a funny inside joke. That is funny
That's not even an inside joke. That's a round table of gentlemen joke. Please go listen to the round table to hear more about
Henry sister refer to her vagina as a squirty bird. That's right. Yes, Janet was then heard after
Double shit to you. She was then heard calling out to Maurice
She got out of bed and she went to the stairs scared out of her mind
She's looking for new daddy
Sure now the magician was indeed waiting for the little girl on the stairwell
But it was not the silent encounter. He described instead Janet started talking at him
About how she didn't like to be alone
But the magician being American couldn't understand Janet's thick accent and after a feeble attempt to communicate
You can hear three soft pups on the tape recorder
Presumably from the weird magician's powder that he used to create the flashes
So when he runs into awkward conversation because she there's a transcript of this in this house is haunted by guy play
Fair there's a little bit of a transcript because it's him just been like, oh, don't you sleep alone and he's like, what's that then?
He's sleeping alone. I don't look and I'm alone in that and he's like, oh, you know, we dogs love a bone
Absolutely banks always give a loan you mean like just saying like random shit like trying to act like he understands
And she's like, yeah, you know you understand so a moment of silence and then he's goes cuz I am
He likes a thing on fire just to end the conversation with the foreigner. That's actually
Keeps doing it until she runs away like a stray dog that's growling at it's the only magic trick I've ever wanted to learn
And I think it's just owning matches. Yes
Yeah, Janet is then heard on the tape recorder running back to her bed and where she says to no one in particular quote
He's gone mad
Okay, so Janet possibly possessed or faking to be possessed for going on what eight months now quite a few months now is
Judging the magician. That's how bad
The point is nothing was disproved here
It was just a magician who didn't know how to deal with a 12-year-old girl
Yeah, that didn't stop him from saying that the entire infield hunting case was fake and it doesn't stop the debunkers from using his
Testimony as further proof that it was all a hoax. They actually the debunkers actually use the magician
Well this magician said it was fake you can't by definition trust a magician
Well, they said it he's an expert in trickery and if the expert in trickery says that it's wrong then the trickery must be
A hoax. That's a trick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah when a tricker when a tricker says a thing is a trickery
Then he could be tricking you into saying it's a trickery. You can never try to match and slowly walks out
Yeah, never trust a tricker never
So the experiments with the voice continued they tape Janet's mouth build it with water wrap a scarf around her face
God, but nothing would stop the voice even when they did all three at the same time
Well, we've tried waterboarding her all we got with some government secrets nothing about the ghost though now men men now
This may seem controversial. Okay, and I don't I don't I mean a meanest as a scientist and as a researcher
But what if I were to sit upon her face?
I will continue to wear me under ooze attached to my ankle. It's then attached to my socks
I am fully clothed even when I'm nude. I am British
So it is not skittish up about it for me to sit upon her mouth and see if she uses me as say a
trumpet or a trombone
They also did a couple of scientific tests on Janet's throat
They found that the voice did not come from the front
Where's your mom just literally just with her fucking basin
Outside she's got all the workers uniform is piling up on one side and she's like every since the co-fact that he's shut down
The new brick factory makes these clothes extra dirty
So go scrub them for hours. These are really these are jokes about the socio-economic conditions in the UK in the
1970s which were quite bad. Yes bad. Oh, yeah garbage everywhere
I think that did they have that?
I think they had the garbage strike in New York City had the garbage strike at the same time all I all I know
Is that the clash was singing about it?
I love the idea of garbage men making sure that we know why they're important now
They found that the voice did not come from the front of her throat like a voice normally does if you speak and put
Put your hand on your throat and just speak speak speak and you'll feel the vibrations there Brett Favre
Touchdown
That's good night 9-11 was allowed to happen
9-11 was allowed to happen. I can feel it in my throat. Yeah, sure
You can feel it but Janet when the voice spoke it came from the back of her neck
This isn't impossible
But it is a strange thing for a 12 year old girl to know how to do it's a thing here called plica
for
Intricularis which is a thing that you can train. It's false vocal cords
They sit in the back and they say that you can't access them, but they're very very difficult to use and also they're they they get less
Lubrication than the front vocal cords, so they get hoarse really really quickly
So it's very interesting the fact that she could do it for hours and hours and hours
Essentially she'd have to be like the neo of ventriloquist. Yeah to be great at this naturally
Yeah, she is the neo of this whole story. Oh, yeah, she is the one
She is the one so around Christmas the entity started getting even more aggressive the Hodgson's well-loved goldfish
We're found dead in their tank when the family noticed what had happened the voice said I done that
And when gross asked why and how the voice replied he had electrocuted the fish by accident using quote-unquote
Spirit's energy which Maurice Gross then said that is proof that poltergeist work on electricity
Yeah, and then a part of it
It's like because they did find these things dead, and it's very it's it's the thing that makes our meat jump
As human beings I could not keep a goldfish alive that I got from the carnival for more than 48 hours
Well, yeah, you can no one can keep carnival goldfish
Because they're only they're designed to live for a day is that right? Oh, yeah
Well, I fed it a lot. Yeah, it had one good day
Well after the goldfish died two days later on Christmas Day, why do you the parakeet turned up dead in his cave?
Oh my goodness
That is so sad parakeets are the worst animal on the face of the planet. They're always have them for years
They're awful. They're awful creatures. They're dirty. They're mean they bite birds are terrible terrible pets
Birds are scary well later that day the entity attacked Janet herself as she was sitting by a window
By wrapping curtains around her neck a couple of days later it happened again
This time the swish of the curtain was caught on the tape and this wasn't just a I mean it was the the curtain squeezed
They were trying to strangle her we should talk about this too because that is very compelling photo evidence of the curtain when you watch it
It is in a really unnatural formation
It is completely curved around because you remember we had a timed camera in that up in that room watching at all times
We'll talk about honestly the levitation pictures that you see are they look obviously faked
Yes, they look like she is jumping for the camera, and I think that that it's completely normal
I think that is because as a little kid they even talk about that all the time when Maurice gross and guy playfarer like
Janet plays tricks all the time
We know she does there's certain things that she does that are that are genuine though, and
All the time they actually said that she did played tricks like very very few times
Hmm, but her jumping was just trying to get somebody to believe her it was happening
Who's a better? Who is a better levitator um Shinrikyo the the leader of um Shinrikyo shoko ahara shoko ahara
Yeah, cuz he was using his butt cheeks to do it with his butt. Yeah
Now that whole incident with the curtains that happened six more times
But thankfully it was never enough to seriously injure Janet at least physically mentally
Was a different story this woman seems like she is afraid of everything
She is fucked up when you see her nowadays in the interviews beside
Don't look at the extras on the DVD for conjuring to the stuff that we found like the recent one from the BBC the one with
Her and guy playfarer, and she just looks haunted. She's the same like literally being like you don't understand what I went through
Yeah, I had something inside of me for a year
Why did you go into your mother voice did I you don't got something you don't even
I have her just below the surface. Oh god
Watching I did the same thing watching the footage be like that's a poor girl. Oh, that's just a shame. Oh wow
It is a shame, and I like whenever you do your mother's voice you grab your chest always my mom
Where do you think Jackie got it from? Oh, yeah, grab her tits all the time
My mom does a weird thing every time she does like a caring voice. She's holds her breasts. All right
So Janet doesn't allow any curtains in her house anymore. Absolutely not
And the poltergeist it seemed to take on different personalities or it was actually different
energies working together if you believe the ten naughty things list
Soon after
1778 came the voice calling itself Fred told Peggy that she should get rid of a bag of knives
That she had brought out of storage these knives had just like the furniture
She'd already thrown out belong to the family of the man who would murdered his daughter down the street a few years previous
Get rid of the knife. Get rid of the knife. Get rid of everything. All of the knives
Why would you have you say this you got rid of the furniture? You got rid of the useful shit
We'll keep the weapons. We'll keep the sharp things that could do the most damage. We'll keep them in a bag
Yeah, why she got rid of the furniture and not the knives is anyone's guess
Especially after the furniture already proved to be haunted. They like their jams. They like their spreads
You can never have enough knives think about how dangerous the furniture has become
This has become the serial killers version of Beauty and the Beast in this house
And you just have a bunch of horny knives in a bag
If just one of them has the personality of that candelabra
Knife fucking one of those little girls in a second Fred
Christ man
Fred said if
Peggy didn't get rid of the knives Tommy another entity was gonna do something dangerous with him
But as Peggy had just had a long day
She didn't pay Fred any money kept the knives right where they were the next day as Peggy was in the kitchen
She heard Janet say from upstairs
There's a knife falling me around
Seriously, it's just like be our guest be our guest
And the stabbing continued yeah, and she said Janet said that the knife was dancing around in front of her
That's kind of fun. Of course Peggy went upstairs to look and she found nothing
But when she walked back to the downstairs area, she found one of the knives
She had just put away in the kitchen drawer on the stairs
Get it out so was it like a situation where they moved in and like this house is not yet a home until they saw the bag of knives
Now it's a
We must have a bag of lethal weapons around at all times now and Peggy man
She was long-suffering. Yeah, she's not having a great time. Her children are going crazy
She's got a bunch of random weirdos including a magician in her home. Oh, just wait until you hear what happened on her birthday
Oh, tell me they went to Outback Steakhouse. No, I don't think they did. They didn't know blooming onions, huh on her birthday on January 15th
1978
That day would take the infield haunting from the realm of a horror movie over into John Waters territory
That's the day the dookie started. Yeah, what do you mean the dookie start?
I'll tell you what I mean when I say that he started
Edith Massey show up on their front door and start eating eggs or something
What's going on? I'm just gonna say right here is that once that dookie gets started
It's hard to get the dookie to stop happening. Oh, I see lots of dookie. Okay?
Well that evening
Margaret said that she had just used the bathroom and was leaving when she felt a tap tap tap on her shoulder
Oh, and when she turned around she saw that someone or something had taken a turd and written the word
Shit on the wall with it. Oh my goodness. I guess that's its name, huh?
Maybe it is. It does sounds like they are being haunted by Gigi Allen. Yeah, it could be
And a few days later when Margaret was again in the bathroom
Mrs. Hudson was hit in the small of the back by a dook wrapped in toilet paper
Well, she was sitting in the kitchen. I got to say, I'm at my auntie. All right, my bonnets are getting thinner
My feet are crooked. I went to the doctor. He said I got zigzagged toe and I won't watch that doctor
And he's like we're gonna have to smash your feet and reset him. And now I'm getting hit in the smalls
But by a little pepper pot in a toilet tissue. Oh
My a dookie attack. Oh a dookie attack. That is ghost is really getting serious
Oh, yeah, and then when Peggy
Inspected Margaret's hands upon Margaret's exit from the bathroom
They were clean
I guess the most of the poop was
Well Peggy was satisfied that Margaret wasn't the culprit she said
But I may she couldn't have done that without getting it a mess Margaret's not very subtle
Okay, but there was some evidence of the girls interfering
Playfair said one day his recorder went missing while it was recording
He found it about 30 seconds later and the tape showed without a doubt that it was Janet
He moved the damn thing
Playfair's thinking was that since he spotted it so fast since it was such a poor attempt at a trick
It showed that Janet was actually pretty awful at that and she confessed almost immediately when Playfair confronted her with it
Improving herself to be an awful liar
But the voice did gain some believers a speech therapist who came to check out the whole hub
Said that she had to admit that she couldn't figure out how Janet was doing the voice
Especially well, she could figure out that it was like false vocal cords coming from the back
But she's throwing the poop well the pooped her guys. Oh, it's the pooped her guys the pooper guys
Oh my god. Oh my god. Look here. It looks like we got ourselves a pooper. It's a pooper guy's pooper guys
I am gonna take a pooper guy soon. Okay, I have I've drank half a bottle of concentrated cold brew this morning
And I am like a musket
Well, the thing that the speech therapist couldn't figure out was how Janet was doing it without getting a sore throat
right
Then the fire started on one occasion smoke started pouring from a kitchen drawer
When they opened up the door they found a scorched box of matches although no matches on the inside had been lit cool
Yeah, after this they decided to try their luck with another medium this time
They tried a regular Joe named Gary Sherrick
Sherrick was an amateur poet who didn't take any money for his services because he made a good living as a London taxi driver
The spirit medium thing that was just his hobby. He did it for free. Sure. It's not my guy. I'll tell you all right
I'm a guy named Jerry thing. I'm best at sitting and watching
Anything can happen. I sit there watch it with the photograph memory. I'll watch anything. I watch you take a shit
I'll watch you kill a dog. I'll watch you suck on a the tail of a shoe. I'll watch anything
Anything you got for me to watch I'll watch and I'll remember it. I'll watch it
I want you to lick a cat on its a soul. Yeah, I want you to do anything. Well, he's definitely he's got the mind of a poet
That's good. Well, Jerry said he got the impression that a horrible old woman who had lived near spittle fields market
Was haunting the girls. Oh spittle fields is a real placement. I know it is
It's just like you always wonder what how these towns got created how their names got created and be like
Where are we and someone's just like spittle field because I just spit get it
Well, they said that it was possibly a horrible old woman who would live near spittle fields market
It was haunting the girls when Jerry asked if they had ever smelled rushing vegetables
They replied that they had of course Jerry like the others didn't really do anything with Janet besides the whole healing hands business
But he did teach Margaret how to do battle with the entity
He did not say how he taught Margaret how to do the battle
I get the feeling involved balling up human dookie
Throwing it against a wall. It just sounds like another secret ventriloquism lesson. Are we done with the poop booth?
I make no huge. This is what I'm really focused on the poop booth stuff here. No way and done with a poop. Okay
You got more poop. All right pooper guys. Well the healing hands
Seem to work just like it had with the two mediums before for a couple of weeks at least
But when it came back it came back in a storm of faces
So many faces. What was that a storm of what?
A storm of faces. Faces. A storm of faces. Faces. Faces. Faces. Faces. Faces. That's how scientists say it. Faces. Oh my goodness
It was Peggy walked in on Johnny having a bath one day. She found
Are there any limits or boundaries in this house? He was like a five-year-old boy. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah parents
I'm walking on little kid little people having baths all the time. Of course, Henry. Well, she found
excreta smeared behind the water taps all over the wall and
Floating in the bath water as if someone was in her words
Squeeble in with it. It's the five-year-old. No. No. No. Why he said no, it's a lot of shit
You would need to have a podcast
comedians
Wait of shit
Yeah, in order to really do that like I mean like me after like several bowls of bran
Like I ate a bunch of beans last night like this stuff is fermenting inside of me. I could paint a bathroom with it
Uh-huh child. It's still small. Oh, yeah, still very tiny little doofus. Okay. Oh, yeah
I'm not I don't even want to get in a bit in the kitchen big old puddles of liquid butt junk
Started forming on the floor
Wait, what is okay? Oh, you know what liquid butt junk in I understand. It's poop
Liquid but sure asshole sauce
I saw sauce has been piled up inches thick for weeks now multiple days
And this is actually what I think is very interesting because they don't cover any of this in the conjuring too
No, don't talk about any of the documentaries
Oh, no, and I think that number one it is the funniest form of the poltergeist. Oh, yeah
There's poo poo mountains in the kitchen. It's fun
But what further proof it is that what you need is it's now it's it's going into an area where it's like if they are faking it
These people are completely insane. Yeah, they're rubbing shit all over the entire house
And now even a Morty's grow sat with Janet because a part of it was like he asked her
Why were you fucking with my recorder?
And he said I want to make sure that you guys never leave because she was soaked and she loved having them in the house at
This point and then as it started happening
He's just like he started talking with her being like so it's like are you faking this are you doing this?
Yeah, and she's like I'm not but it's really starting to get boring now. Uh-huh. She thought that the whole thing was boring
Yeah, she hated the whole thing. Well, it's just you since because so this poor woman was this poor girl was so
Desperate for a father. She didn't want them to leave so she went to deaf con poo poo. No, I just created this
No, the poo poo stay no
You missed
You missed understood completely. Okay, moving the tape recorder. That was what she did to keep Morris growth around
No, no, no, she wasn't doing the the big ol liquid diarrhea who's creating the mountains of dookie
All right, and here's the interesting thing about it is that Morris growths actually collected some
Good a good little stool sample. All right. We're gonna take a look at this now. All right everyone look
There's a sample from the ass juice that we found earlier this afternoon. Let me just
I'm getting I'm getting notes. Oh my goodness. I'm getting no stepburnt
You're a sommelier of poop. Oh, this is mine. This is definitely mine. I'm sorry. I mixed the samples
Well, he got a sample and he took it to a fellow scientist and the fellow scientist said you put me on my ace's cat piss
Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't think it should be fellow scientist. I think there's one
He's he's a parasyntist a period parasite
Racism against our kind is what keeping legitimate research scientists are not a race
Well, the voice at this point, I mean well, but besides the whole poop
We say the voice started getting weirder and it stopped caring whether anybody was looking or not
It started getting completely out of control. Here's one more example of where the voice was at this time
Yeah, it's kind of fun. Yeah, it's kind of but now it's like that old episode that we did is like possession or angry cat
Yeah, that could go either way. Yes. It's pretty sweet. And now when they're looking at her mouth
They're saying they're looking at her face and she's making these noises and her mouth is like going like it's like slightly twitching
It is coming from her, but it's this weird ass thing
We're like how is she making this noise over and over and over again for weeks?
Right now this is when George follows of the daily mirror showed back up to check-in on the family
But when he saw how much worse and how much more disgusting the case had gotten
Yeah, he decided a follow-up piece was an order and assigned a reporter named Brian Rimmer to the story names Brian Rimmer
I gotta tell you I love the taste of pennies. I use them like mince. Yes. I'm gonna think thing thing
I love it. I like leaving my mouth red with rust
Now is the poopoo cleaned up? Yeah, the poopoo. They're not just leaving it in that round the house
Okay, they're not animals. Yeah, well and now Rimmer decided it was time once and for all to get to the bottom of the voice
So he enlisted the ventriloquist a man named Ray Allen
Just when it couldn't get any nerdier
They brought in a ventriloquist, but think about how many because not only did we have we had a magician
We've had at least 15 scientists. We got a ventriloquist now
We also had another dude that was a famous sufferer of a haunted house. His name was
That came in that said the same thing Matthew Manning. He also came in. This is incredibly documented
Oh, yeah, there's so many people were just showing up being like what the fuck is happening in here
And it's all just weird old men
Well Brian Rimmer Ray Allen and three other people showed up around 8 p.m.
One night to the Hodgson house completely unannounced
after the visit
Rimmer called up Guy Playfair and told him that Janet had confessed to faking the voices beginning to end
And that she had told the ventriloquist that she had used her diaphragm to do the voice
Even though they had already proved that the voice was coming from the back of her neck
Playfair immediately went to the Hodgson house to hear exactly what had happened because he was pretty damn sure that Janet didn't even know the word
Diaphragm much less what the hell a diaphragm was and she again had a different story to tell just like with a magician whoa
She said that when the ventriloquist started talking to her
She just zoned out and just started nodding because how many people have come to talk at this little girl and to ask her
Question after question after question and she just stopped paying attention to anything that she said and also
That's kind of what a lot of twelve-year-olds girl twelve-year-old girls do when you talk to them
They don't listen and when a ventriloquist talks to you not move in his lips trying to be all sneaky
I mean of course, I'm not gonna listen to that. It's all lies now according to Janet
She hadn't heard a word. He said now the article entitled ghost hunters clash over mystery of spoof or spook kids
It did claim the voice to be a hoax, but
To its credit did not discount any of the other phenomena and the phenomena did continue with the apparitions
Returning in full force both Margaret and Janet saw an old man with long fingernails
Walking through their room at night Peggy saw a child
Dressed in a nightgown floating out of the bathroom and
Saw a partial apparition of a man from the waist down walking up the stairs
But the creepiest incident happened to Peggy's brother
He saw a man saw it as anything just sitting at the Hodgson's kitchen table at five o'clock in the afternoon
Looking out the window the brother closed his eyes to blink and when he opened them again
The man was gone and replaced with a pile of poop. No, no
What if the man with no waist walking back and forth was just so jealous of that people could poop?
He had no butt as it goes
That would be the worst he was just doing it as a revenge
So finally in July of 1978 the family decided to send Janet away for a little while
She stayed in a hospital across the tins for a couple of months in the activity died down
But not completely for example the whole incident with the brother and the men in the kitchen happened while Janet was gone
Hmm and Margaret was mostly free of the activity using the unnamed powers that she learned from the taxi driver
What did she learn? I don't even know. No, they didn't say the sequence of a taxi driver
It's a secret. Yes only taxi drivers will know did she get some taxi cab confession. I don't want to go down that
Doctors found nothing wrong with Janet physically or mentally and so Janet came back in September of 1978
Hopeful that it was all over and done with but within 30 minutes of her being home
She saw the same apparition of a child in a gown that her mother saw after a few more months
They decided to try one more medium a Dutchman named don't know gamelig mailing
Of course who had personally brought two Dutch poltergeist cases to an end
Don't know came to the house got to know the family and went up traveling on the old last real plane to see what he could find
When he came back. He said that he was positive that a 24 year old woman was involved in the case
24 happened to be the exact age Maury's grossest daughter Janet was when she died
Now whether or not this whole thing was caused by the spirit of Maury's grossest daughter will never know in fact
Well, probably never know whether poltergeist are the spirits of the dead
free-floating puberty energy or
Something else entirely at least not in our lifetime
What we do know is that soon after
Dono gamelig mailing identified the poltergeist as Maury's grossest daughter the hauntings tapered off and
Soon stopped all together. You can always trust a Dutchman
And this is very similar to other cases if you look up the Reutenberg Roca case, it's very very interesting
There's there's so many other poltergeist like this. We talked about I mean the black monk of Pontifract is one
There's also that they the bell witch case also talk about this a lot all which that we could do whole episodes on
Yeah, that are all very similar. All right. Well, this is the end field poltergeist
I gotta say conjuring to could have been a lot better. It really could have all these characters unbelievable
The only difference is that the ending is not as it's not very dramatic
It's mostly like it's just gonna be like would that you put a goddess finding out it's the 24 year old daughter is a huge reveal
It's a pretty big reveal. Yeah, the conjuring part two never even goes down that road
No, it absolutely doesn't because that's how more like Maury's gross started
You know and it could be argued that the more that Janet gross
began haunting another Janet began haunting
The Hodgson house in a bid to contact her father because her father was contacted very soon afterwards as well
There's a lot. It's a very complicated case a lot of ends a lot outs
It's very complicated, but I also think you know and what I think is really nice though is that Maury's gross stayed with the family
He was close with them for the rest of his life. I think he died in 2007
Guy play fear was also close to them that it was a nice support network. Yeah turned into a little family
Yeah, and the end like it's like Maury's gross got something out of it, too
Like he got a daughter again
He got to be with these kids even though they're a little simple and a little strange
Families family. I don't think simple is the right word. There's very complex. Oh, it's very complex
Oh, yeah, very complex
I think I think Janet was a lot more clever than people gave her credit for and absolutely
But the thing is is that Janet is the only person who will give interviews
None of the rest of them want to talk about this at all well, but in the end
Really this case is like you do. Okay, so now that you've heard the whole case bed
I know you're skeptical at first. Uh-huh kind of sweet, right? It's kind of sweet. I also believe the queen is a horrible monarchy
And they should have treated these individuals that had lower income much better. No, it was the 1970s. Oh my goodness
All right. Yeah, very good sweet family case
but I I this is to me one of the most convincing
Cases of the idea of just activity and what it means that it's not necessarily some spectral like I don't know about the
personalities involved and turns up like Bill and and
Joe Watson and all those kind of things but I think that there's obviously something happening and it just proves that there's more to
Consciousness and how it affects reality
Then what normal you'd normally believe and scientists are just on the verge of it
I was just watching a thing Ted talk about how like essentially we trip
Making like hope the reality is a hallucination, bro. That's it buddy. Some Ted talks are better than others
