Welcome to Smosh Mouth.
I'm Shane.
And I'm Amanda.
Sorry.
I tried to be like a vampire, like an old vampire.
My name Amanda.
My name Amanda.
Chocolate crunch.
Wait, what is that?
Cocoa crunch.
Chocolate crunch.
What's the vampire cereal?
You should know this.
You're a cereal guy.
Yeah, Count Chocula.
Count?
Count Chocula.
Yeah, and Boo Berry and Frankenberry.
Oh my god, too sweet.
Anyways, today we're going to have a bunch of guests.
I'm super excited about it because it is almost Halloween.
And we are telling, if you are just listening, we have candles, we have tarot cards, we have old books that no one opens and reads.
These books have never been opened.
They're covered in dust. They've been props for
years. We have cobwebs
and we have just smoke.
We have a fog machine.
The fog machine we have is stellar.
Is it the machine or did we leave the
window open? Or we started
smoking. Oh my god, that would be terrible.
There's something scary. Everyone at Smosh started smoking all at the same time. We all got hooked. That would be so scary.
That would suck. Sad. That would suck. Um, so you, as of recording this, cause this is, this is
Halloween's a couple of days away as of this airing, but as of recording this a couple of
weeks before you don't have a Halloween costume. I don't have a Halloween costume, which is actually a crime and a horror in my book,
because I always plan out my costumes.
I love Halloween, but I don't know what happened.
I don't know what happened this year.
I just...
It just slips away.
I find every year, except for this year,
this year, finally, Courtney and I planned something.
Can you tell us what your Halloween costume is?
So I'm going to be Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049.
And specifically, our costume is that scene with the big hologram.
So Courtney's going to be all pink with blue hair.
And we're going to do the whole thing where I'm sitting there staring up.
That is awesome.
Can I play Harrison Ford?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I should be fricking Tommy Lee Jones or Harrison Ford or anyone who I love from the 90s.
Okay.
And just no one will know.
No one will recognize me and I'll give them a movie that they've never heard of.
They're like, okay, cool.
That's awesome.
You somehow look like Michael Myers from Halloween.
Do you have an old man mask on?
I will say, I was telling you, it is very hard to top my costume last year where I played the nun.
Yeah.
And then brought her back.
You played the nun multiple times.
Yeah, for Bit City.
Yeah.
I just feel comfy.
Eat or eat it, Bit City, Halloween, just all the time.
She's so comfortable. I love being a horrifying nun because nobody speaks to you at parties.
Oh, that's a, there's, there you go.
People don't approach you.
Huh?
I never thought about that.
Yeah.
It was kind of like, I was like, wow, this is what it feels like to be at a party and
just have like people like avoid you.
Yeah.
And avoid eye contact.
That's, that's really interesting. And avoid eye contact. That's really interesting.
And my husband played the priest, any priest.
I feel like at most Halloween parties,
the actually genuinely scary costumes
are usually the rarest.
I know.
People for the most part go silly,
whereas I feel like back when we were kids in the 90s,
it was mostly scary.
It was very scary.
People were scary more in the 90s, it was mostly scary. It was very scary. People were scary more
and then some,
in like the past couple decades.
People were like dogs or bunnies
or like,
it's like a couple,
they're like,
I'm a cat and our kid's a little cat.
It's mostly silly now.
Okay.
But I think it used,
there used to be a lot more scary stuff.
Maybe it's also just like
teenagers tend to go more scary stuff.
I don't know.
I think scary is,
I think it's so funny
to walk up to a house
party and be like, Hey, oh my God, it's good to see you. And I'm just a random guy sitting on the
couch and he's wearing like a Jason mask and, or Michael Myers mask. And I'm like, I love that
shit. I am notoriously really lazy with Halloween because I don't love putting on costumes. But what
also has happened to me for like the past 10 years is July hits and I go, I should think about what I'm going to do for Halloween this year so I can have a couple months to kind of plan it out and get the stuff ready.
Wow.
Before the rush happens and it's hard to get a costume yet.
Yeah, the rush.
But then suddenly it's like October 25th.
That's what's happening to me.
And I'm like, what the hell happened?
I literally had a year where it was before a Halloween party and I didn't even have a costume.
It's like an hour before.
And I truly wrapped my entire body in toilet paper.
That's horrible.
You know what?
What were you?
Well, I was like, I'm a mummy.
And then people were like, oh, you're the Invisible Man.
I was like, yeah, you're right.
That's what I am.
To me, you're a house that's been teepeed there you go have you ever tp'd a house yeah whoa
yeah we tp'd a house you're wild you should be arrested that's insane have you ever tp'd
oh you're wild it's crazy you throw it up on the tree and then you run for your life.
I wonder what I'm going to be this year.
I don't know.
I'm really into Rings of Power, which I know everyone's like, okay, it's slow.
But maybe I'll be Sauron.
Sauron. Lord of the Rings stuff is awesome.
I know, but I need a straight wig.
I need to get the ears.
It's a tough one.
And they talk really like drawn out. So
people might avoid me as well. Interesting. Or I'll be Wonder Woman. I've played Wonder Woman
a couple of times and I love being Wonder Woman. That's badass. That's really cool. Yeah.
Interesting. So speaking of Halloween, today's episode, we are talking about ghost stories that
people here that we work with have experienced.
People have experienced a lot of ghost stories where we work.
There's a lot going on.
We have a couple coming on, but I feel like almost most people here at this job have ghost stories.
We've heard some insane ones.
Marcus told a story about being possessed once.
Oh, I remember that.
And you don't really believe in ghosts i'm skeptical but
i have look i think everybody experiences things they can't explain in their life and i've had
plenty of things that i'm i to this day i'm like i don't know what that was love it was love it's
clearly love complicated um yeah no i don't jump i think the difference between me and a lot of
people's i don't i just don't jump to that's a ghost i go this is what happened and I don't jump. I think the difference between me and a lot of people is I just don't jump to that's a ghost.
I go, this is what happened, and I don't know what it was.
See, I'm immediately like a believer.
I'm like, okay, this house is buried on – this house is on sacred ground.
There's someone buried, and they're coming, and they want you to find the clues to who murdered them.
Interesting.
See, I'm hesitant to believe in things hardcore because then I will start to piece together all the reasons to prove myself that it's correct. I try to I try to doubt because I doubt because I I want to know for sure if it's real.
And so if I am doubting something and trying to prove it wrong and it's still then I'm like then then it's then it's not.
You can't sleep. Then you're upset. And I'm like, oh, God, then it's then it's not you can't sleep then you're obsessed then i'm like
oh god now it's absolutely real um but if we have time towards the end of this episode we can talk
about our ghost stories because have you you've told me about some weird stuff i've definitely
told you about some stuff yeah and i think you've told me about some stuff too i've told you about
some stuff i there was a reddit episode about a year ago where i i told some of the stories that
i've experienced i've told it before here and there over the years but um it is some weird some weird things some weird
stuff guys you're a lot of your stuff is dreams right a lot of my stuff is dreams have you ever
had non-dream oh yeah i mean i'm from massachusetts yeah you're from massachusetts where ghosts come
from connecticut when you die you when you die and you become a ghost you do start in Massachusetts. They're like, hey, welcome to Bastion.
Come on in, you fuck. Yeah.
Yeah, if you say you live in California and you die
you'll wake up as a ghost in
Massachusetts. You have to make your way back to California
if you want to haunt there. Correct.
But all ghosts start in Massachusetts.
That is canon.
Absolutely. Um, do we want
to get on, bring on our first? Yeah.
I'm really excited about this wonderful guest.
He has been on the pod before.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh.
You don't recognize him?
No.
Okay, well, our first guest to tell us his actual ghost story is Tommy Bo.
Ooh.
Whoa, he just came out of smoke.
SNL. Hello, Tommy. Hi. Hi, Tommy. came out of smoke. SNL.
Hello, Tommy.
Hi.
Hi, Tommy.
Hey.
Welcome back.
Don't sound excited.
Well, I'm getting spookified.
I don't know.
Let's try that again.
Hey, Tommy.
No, no, no.
Hey, Tommy.
Hey, Tommy.
Hey, Tommy.
You're back again.
Thanks for joining us.
Wow.
I feel so comfortable.
No, what's up, Tommy?
Hey.
It's going good.
I'm here to tell a ghost story, as you both know.
I'm so excited.
You've told this story many times, but I'm trying to recall this story.
And I'm wondering when the last time I heard this.
I've never heard it.
I don't think you've ever heard it.
I think this predates you a little bit. At least, I think you may have been on the main channel, but I don't think you've ever heard it i think this predates you a little bit at least i think you may have been on the main channel but i don't think you were
like incorporated yet yeah um i told this on the quote smosh cast when it was like first around
okay before we were smosh now whoa um but yeah i've told it a few times i can't remember the
other time i've told it but i've definitely told it i also this is like my ghost story, so I've told it a thousand times.
Of course.
I'm so excited, but it's different every time.
Yeah, just a little bit.
Okay.
All right.
Are we ready?
Set in 1865.
I'm just kidding.
No, don't blow out the candles.
I'm blowing out the fake candles.
It took Art forever to light them.
Art didn't even light them.
Nope.
Okay.
All right.
So this is, let's see. It's it's what three four years ago maybe maybe five years ago
somewhere recent yeah um i was living in my apartment in north hollywood um so this is
before i moved into that house i had the dog and then i moved into my current apartment
um and i was living with uh two friends from college picture this there you are
this is this is a this was an often experience we're gonna start little and build up to the
event i love that love that perfect the seeds were there from the start if you look for them
you're there right now washing your dishes you're looking down at your sink it's like a little kind
of island where it's like the sink and some cupboards and stuff like that and to your back right are like a few sets of stairs a little landing and then a big
set of stairs up to the second story okay the way that the light hit that space we had like a
sunlight on top of it but that was kind of it for for lighting when you are at this sink you feel
someone over in that stairs.
You just feel it.
You feel it.
And sometimes if your peripherals catch it, you would see like a figure.
Not any specific kind of figure, but like, you know, a tall, long thing.
And when you go to look, of course, it's not there.
But I would feel it always like, and I would always be like, okay.
I'm like, come on girl,
leave me alone. Um, so it's a girl. It felt girl. Okay. But I don't know who's to say. Okay. Um,
definitely poltergeist energy though. They were like, I'm here. Like they want to know,
they want you to know. Um, and so I would always be like, okay, there's like a, there's like a
ghost thing that hangs out on the staircase, whatever. And one day I had my friend over and I had not talked about this to anybody
except my roommate who also said that there was,
that he could feel something there. And then I, the roommates there,
my friends there. And then I go, yeah, so we've actually been,
and my friend goes, the person that stands on your,
the weird ghost thing that stands on your stairs?
No.
And I like almost barfed because that freaked me the fuck out.
Yeah.
And I was like, yeah.
And he's like, yeah, I felt her, seen her before.
And I was like, okay.
So then.
Terrifying.
Moving forward, things would happen.
We would hear a,
and then look over and our swing top garbage can lid
would just be swinging.
Nope.
Just be swinging on its own.
Okay, cool.
Sometimes things would fall off the walls and we wouldn't know why, stuff like that.
Late at night, especially like when the pandemic started happening,
or no, this wasn't even, this was before.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, still, same room I was trapped in.
I would like work on my computer obviously
like again it would be a desk against the wall and i would i swear i would feel something like
standing right behind me not in a menacing way not like i'm gonna steal your soul but just kind
of like hey what are you doing what are you working on what are you working on and it would
just like be standing there and so i would like feel this like you know the the the energy on
your back and so i would like turn around and one time i did turn around and it looked like steam like evaporating kind of
yeah also i'm a stoner so i was stoned
so i'm not the most reliable narrator but that was that did Meanwhile, you actually turned around and popped out of your mouth.
Popping out your own smoke.
Dude, there's so much mist.
So that brings us to
oh, and also like things go
missing all the time, but I think that's the stoner part.
So now that brings us to
that brings us to like
the night of the event.
Nighttime scary time. Nighttime,
scary time,
nighttime,
scary time.
So this ghost had been established.
We're like,
sure.
Yeah,
whatever.
I'm in bed.
Okay.
And I'm the way that my room is set up is like the diagonal on one corner is the,
the door to the bedroom right next to it is the door
to the bathroom. My personal bathroom. Okay. Across from that is I'm like, I was waiting for
you to say, cool. You had your bedroom across from that very rich living with two roommates
across from that is my bed. So just so you can like picture the room. It's like when I'm in bed
and I'm laying down, I'm staring straight at the bathroom door.
And then if I look over to the diagonal,
that's the door to the room.
Okay.
Open doors,
darkness.
So the doors are closed.
Okay.
Well,
both doors are closed.
Both doors are closed on this night.
And so,
or yeah.
So I hear this like scuttling,
rattling,
shaky thing,
which would, it to me sounded like if like a raccoon was outside my door or like in a wall or something it was like hard it was just like
scritchy scratchy crumbly bumbly and so i'm like what the fuck is that and so like i go up
and like try and find like pinpoint the source and it's like hard.
I can't really pinpoint the source.
I'm like, okay.
And so I get out of my room and I like look over and it's like where these like where
storage is.
So like open the storage and there's nothing there.
And then I feel like it's kind of coming from up.
And so like I look up and it's like it's the AC system is where that is like the main AC
unit. And I'm like, okay, maybe there's something it's the ac system is where that is like the main ac unit and i'm like
okay maybe there's something with the ac i don't know but then it gets like more rattly and more
like intense and i'm like what the fuck is this so i text my roommate and he's like what is that
and i was like oh so i'm not crazy you can hear this and he's like yeah and you know uh uh sofia's
asleep i'm just fucking chilling here so i I was like, okay, scary, scary.
Scary, scary.
At least you weren't alone.
Right.
So I go to my bed and the rattling is still happening.
It's enough to where you can't fall asleep.
It's like rattling.
And so I'm there.
And then here's the fun part. The rattling sound moves from that corner
across my ceiling to on top of my bed.
So the sound, I could feel and hear the sound go like,
and then the sound stopped.
And then my bathroom door opened all the way by itself.
Uh-huh. And then my bathroom door opened all the way by itself. No!
Uh-huh.
And so I was like, I went, okay.
I was like, I see your ghost.
Thanks.
Like, I'm like, you got me.
I'm fucking freaked out. So I like put on a podcast and I was like, I hope you like this podcast.
And I was like playing it because I was just like, oh, if I talk like it's my friend, it won't kill me.
So I just did that.
And then I went to sleep.
Somehow I fell asleep.
If it wanted to kill you, it would have killed you already.
Exactly.
So the next morning we talked about it as a group and everyone was like, that was really
scary.
And so we did the Palo Santo sage thing where we go around into every corner and we go,
hey, this isn't your home.
You got to go.
Hey, get out of here.
It's not your home. Like, sorry, girl. Like, You got to go. Hey, get out of here. It's not your home.
Like, sorry, girl.
Like, you got to go.
And we did that all over the entire apartment.
The next day, everything on our walls was on the floor.
Everything.
Everything was on the floor.
We didn't have a lot of art,
but all of it was on the floor.
Stop.
Did you, like, when was it on the floor?
Did you hear it fall off?
Did you?
We did not hear it fall off.
We came out the next morning,
we were like, oh my God.
We were like, okay, someone had a fit on their way out.
But since then.
What?
Were things broken or was it just like?
No, well one of the frames,
one of the frames like fell apart.
It was a cheap frame, but you know,
I guess when it hit the ground it kinda.
She's just like walking through the hallway.
She's like, palo sent on my ass, bitch.
Right, so yeah, and then after that,
there was no more guests.
We kicked her out.
She just threw a fit on her way out.
Isn't that great?
Oh, and I must say, the movement of the sound,
if it was in the AC, the vent was on the wall,
so it would have to move in a 90 degree angle,
but it moved at a 45.
Your door opened by itself.
Right.
And this door never opened by itself.
No.
You would have to open another door
to create some weird vacuum situation.
The knob was pretty, like it was one of the secure ones.
It's a little handle guy.
Because some doors, kind of like,
oh, it doesn't fully shut type of situation.
This is what he does.
I'm asking because it makes it scarier
if it's like, no, this thing fucking...
This is what he does.
I can't tell you.
I was in the middle of the whole thing.
I mean, I think it was a long handle
that you pushed down as opposed to a twisty knob.
So when the door opened, you didn't get up and shut it?
I can't remember if I did. I,
I'm pretty sure I did. I don't know how you stayed in that room and slept. I don't know either. I was definitely awake for like another hour and I was just like sitting there, but you know. And all
the things on the floor is that's multiple rooms. Yeah. There was some up, there was a thing upstairs
that was on the floor. And then there was, we had three pictures on the wall in our living room that was down.
And then something in the hallway that was down.
Um,
yeah.
So,
so when you went to wash the dishes,
you never then experienced the feeling or saw.
Nope.
Ever since.
The feeling was gone after.
The feeling was gone after that.
Did you look up?
I mean,
I don't know where you look up your apartment to know any history,
but like.
You know,
they don't have,
they don't have to disclose if someone died in your apartment,
if you're renting. I heard this. crazy isn't that insane that is a real
thing so wow yeah so you could be renting and the reality is you know if ghosts are real if
hauntings are real la is probably fucked oh yeah there are so because not only are there ghosts
it's like they're sad ghosts because so much sad people i didn't make it there's so many
i mean the golden era of Hollywood probably left
a million fucking nightmare spirits.
How many agents are just like,
I wanted to be an actor and now I'm an agent
and now I'm dead and renting a one bedroom.
I wanted to be an agent.
That's what my dream was.
No, they wanted to be an actor and then they became an agent.
And that's why they make your life a living hell.
Just kidding.
Yeah.
Love ya. Hey, if any one of you wanna... That's terrifying. And that's why they make your life a living hell. Yeah. Just kidding. Yeah.
Love ya.
Hey, if any one of you want to.
That's terrifying.
That is so scary.
Yeah, that was, like, I've had little ghost things before,
but this was the first, like, physical.
No, that's evidence. There was a sound.
There was, like, physical movement.
That's so scary that you already were up going,
this is weird, and talking to your roommate about
this is weird, and then a door opened.
It's not like all the weird stuff happened,
you're like, what's going on?
And then it's kind of like done by that point.
It's continued.
No, they had my attention, and then they were like,
check this out.
Do you know what's crazy is I have heard that
Palo Santo, it's very, it comes from a lot of
different tribes, and it gets rid of bad spirits and bad energy.
But a medium once told me when I had a bunch of nightmares to do that and it actually fucking
works.
Wow.
If you like speak to it.
My sister, of course, once was like clapping in each part of my apartment being like getting
the energy out, clapping the energy out.
And I could not, I was like, I can't with this.
What are you clapping?
So when it's burning a piece of wood, you're like, I'm in.
When it's burning a piece of wood that has history,
I'm like, yeah, of course.
It smells so good.
It smells so good.
Yeah.
Have you used it?
What?
Palo Santo?
No.
It's great.
It's wood.
And you burn it.
And it smells really nice.
Yep.
That's cool.
So it's like a wood thing that you burn around.
It's wood that you burn. OK. So because I just you're like when you're saying saging, it's really nice. Yep. That's cool. So it's like a wood thing that you burn around. It's wood that you burn.
Okay.
So,
cause I just,
you're like,
when you're saying saging,
it's not sage.
It's,
it's,
you can't.
No,
no,
no.
Sage is different.
Sage is like leaves.
Yeah.
And Palo Santo's is wood.
That's what he was asking.
Is sage,
sage?
It is sage.
Right.
But you're saying about saging your house,
but you're using wood.
But then you're just saying wood.
I did both.
Oh,
I had Palo Santo and a ball of like a like a thing of say.
And we were just going like, hey, because, you know, when when your doors open on their own and there's rattling noises that wake you up at night, it's like, well, I need to sleep.
So now I'm kicking you out.
Now I got to kick you something.
Got to do something.
See, I would wish if I was in that situation.
I mean, I'd probably be scared and be like let's do whatever but it's it is sad that you can't figure out who lived there what because
you kind of almost wish you could resolve whatever yes like if i'm a ghost someday i'd be like oh man
if there's something i needed to do i wish i could communicate that see that's what i always think i
always think they're trying to communicate like oh yeah they're like hey i was i was here right
and this happened and we have to find that guy they're like i want to kill the landlord i'm like
so do i the red is so high sounds like we've got a plan the trash shoot never works i know i want
to go to the glendale galleria it's like all's go. Hop in. The car door slowly opens on.
That would be terrible. Wow. So that's the, that's the quick little,
and then you moved out. Yeah. Eventually I moved out. I also had this, um, then this is also part
of a, like a small story of the past. I had this painting that when I was in New York, I was like
walking down the street and it kind of hypnotized me. And I was like, I'm going to buy this painting.
And it was of, I don't know what culture it was a, it was like a woman the street and it kind of hypnotized me. And I was like, I'm going to buy this painting. And it was of, I don't know what culture it was.
It was like a woman and her head was kind of off center, which was strange.
And she had like half of a background behind her that was like, maybe you're sitting in front of a house.
But there were like bottles on the ground and like luggage.
It was very like, and it was very like sepia based and just had this weird energy to it.
But in a way that was like,
this is kind of awesome.
She was waiting for the train.
Something.
And so I had that in my apartment for a while.
And then after that,
I was like,
when I moved out of that apartment,
I was like,
maybe the painting is also not doing good things for me.
So yeah,
I ripped it open because I thought there'd be a letter inside.
There wasn't.
Oh my God,
a letter.
I thought there would be.
I was like,
you have found me.
My father left me here by the train.
That's a horror movie.
So yeah, that's the story.
I'm glad that you are free of this spirit.
Yes, and I am.
Who seems just a little bit mischievous.
Now I'll just see little,
I think there's a ghost cat or dog in my current apartment.
Interesting.
Cause like,
I'll see like on the ground,
like I'll see little like shadow like movements,
but like in the,
like the lower end of the floor,
you know?
Interesting.
And I'm just like,
Oh,
there's probably a cat here at one point.
Maybe they're still there.
Yeah.
Oh man.
Maybe.
And maybe they're taking my keys and putting them in places that I went.
Why are they here? No, honey, that's you. That's all. My keys are in the fridge. That, man. And maybe they're taking my keys and putting them in places that I went. Why are they here?
No, honey, that's you.
That's all you.
My keys are in the fridge, that damn cat.
God dang.
Wow.
Real or not real?
Well, I mean, we don't.
Wait, are you saying you made it all up?
No, I'm saying, do you believe me?
I believe you.
I believe you.
Okay.
Whenever people tell me these stories, I'm like, I believe everything that you just said.
I believed you before you sat down.
Thank you.
Do you think it was a ghost?
Yes.
I don't know.
Yes.
I don't know.
I mean,
he probably thinks it's someone from like a different dimension.
Maybe.
So you believe in different dimensions,
but not a ghost.
I got to say that.
I don't believe.
I have the same feeling about all of it where I'm like,
I don't know.
I was just having fun. Yeah. I personally don't believe. I have the same feeling about all of it where I'm like, I don't know. I was just having fun.
Yeah.
I personally don't know if I believe in ghosts fully.
Cause I feel like there's like a weight.
So how does that line up to the,
you know,
but I do believe in like energy stamping.
I,
I believe in like energy.
I believe in people like not figuring out where exactly where to go.
So they get caught in these like places.
That's what I think ghosts are.
Yeah.
I think they're like repeated moments.
That's always,
that's a thought that I've always had too.
Like if I'm going to cry in that corner over and over and over again,
then a hundred years from now,
there's going to be some fucked up energy in that corner.
Well,
it's,
it's kind of like,
imagine,
imagine you live in a house and you're like,
say you're in a relationship and you live in a house and you have just the
most toxic,
awful breakup ever.
Yeah.
You both move out of that house,
but then someday,
10 years later,
you move back to that house and you're in it.
Would,
would you,
could you be haunted by your own experiences and experience that stuff?
And like,
could weird stuff just because I'm also like,
I'm also like the human brain is mysterious in so many ways that i'm like does do our own beliefs literally affect
the physical environment around us sometimes you know like that's i think that's what i mean when
i'm a skeptic of just like i'm like there's a million possible the devil the world card says
yes the world cards um but that's i kind of Memories. Also, you can smell a scent and be like, oh, my piano teacher.
Right.
The amount of times the smell has shot me back into some memory I never thought of.
Dude, one time I was waitressing and I went up to a girl and I was like, you smell like my piano teacher.
And she was like, I'm kind of offended.
Yeah.
And I was like, no, no, no.
I mean, she was intense and a great woman and she was like older
and whatever and she was like i'm still getting offended old woman thank you and i was like what
are you wearing and she was like 100 patchouli and i was like well that's what it is i was like
she wore patchouli and i thought she smoked weed and i just offered too much information
so don't do that don't do that when a smell triggers something well i'll leave you with
this i hate patchouli.
I think the smell is intense
and annoying. That's why the ghost haunted you.
I kind of slightly agree.
Well, thank you so much, Tommy Bo.
Don't burn yourself on the way
out. These are real candles.
Go. Ta-ta.
Ta-ta.
I wish we had sage now.
Like sage and palo santos.
Wow.
That's crazy.
No, if I was in a room and a door opened on its own, I got to leave.
For me, feelings are one thing.
Physical, because I feel like.
That's awful.
To move something physical is strong.
I've never seen something move like on its own.
Oh.
I mean, well.
Well.
Perhaps.
Perhaps.
Perhaps on Halloween.
Perhaps.
Maybe.
Oh, excuse me.
Why are you walking so close behind me?
Well, you're a tall guy.
You throw a decent shadow and I'm walking in it to keep out of this bright sun.
It hurts my eyes.
Okay. Well, you know what? Specsavers, you can get two pairs of glasses from $149,
and oh, you'll like this. One can be a pair of prescription sunglasses.
Sounds great. Where's the nearest store?
Not far. Come on.
Let's hurry then. To my count. One, two, one, two, one, two.
Visit specsavers.ca for details.
Okay, our next story comes from Noah, who is here with us.
Noah, please enter the space.
Noah, if you're here.
Noah, slide down from where you are and enter.
Oh my God, you're here.
I've been summoned.
Hi, Noah.
I don't think I know your ghost story.
Have I heard this?
I don't think I've ever told anyone at Smosh here.
One time I told this on stage in like a little stand-up set.
Okay.
That's fun.
So it's funny.
Were people laughing?
I mean, yes, they were.
Because I think it's funny. But I think it's funny because I don't believe in ghosts.
I don't believe in aliens.
That makes sense to me.
I don't believe in cryptids.
Okay.
And yet, with 100% certainty,
I know my truth and what I experienced that night.
See that, this is where like I'm skeptical too,
because when you say that,
that makes me believe in it more that I'm like,
you are not actively trying to prove it's true to yourself.
You're trying to doubt it.
You're like, no, you can't deny what happened. Yep. No. And that's, that's true to yourself, you're trying to doubt it. You're like, no. But you can't deny what happened.
Yep, no.
And that's scary to me.
I am a completely logical person.
I know what I experienced and how it felt,
but I also know that there's no way that it can be real
despite this being 100% real.
So I just have to live in that space.
Okay.
I have to live with that.
I have to accept that reality.
The ghost is like, dude, I've been trying.
You're coming up with all these theories.
I got to go, man.
Let me tell you, because this is not just a ghost story, okay?
It is a ghost story and an alien story.
Stop.
That's right.
And a Yeti story.
What?
I'm telling you, okay?
I'm telling you.
And it's the Yeti from that Christmas story.
You know, the Rudolph movie?
The Abominable Snowman?
Yes, uh-huh.
I remember that movie.
Bumbles bounce!
Yes, Bumble!
That movie was spooky.
Okay.
Okay.
Go ahead, Noah.
So to set the stage, this is before I met my girlfriend.
So this is probably eight, nine years ago.
Okay, so I was working at Smosh, but, you know, like right at the beginning of when I was hired.
So I was like 18, 19.
So I don't think weed was legal yet in California.
It might've just been legal.
Why is weed the common factor in these stories?
I smoked a huge blunt and then this lady came to me.
I know what I saw.
I was high as shit.
It was real. This is great. Okay. Go on what I saw. I was high as shit. And it was real.
This is great.
Okay, go on.
Go on.
Okay.
So understand this.
I went to the store and I went to buy a brownie.
And when I was looking at the options, okay, this was before there was a legal dosage.
Like now it's legal.
Like 10 milligrams is one dose.
Like if you go to buy a chocolate bar it's 100 milligrams like standard usually you cannot find anything more than that
unless it's in like liquid form or it's doing a weird thing with the serving sizes uh so i went
and i saw that they had a thousand milligram brownie in the same size as the hundred milligram
one and i was really confused okay and this one's in a complete black bag.
There's one sticker on it that someone obviously put on and it just has a cow with three eyes
and a top hat.
Okay.
Where are you shopping?
At a, at a store.
Okay.
At a legal.
At a store that we would never know the name because it went somewhere else.
Oh, it shut down now.
I think it was called.
Okay.
Yeah.
Definitely shut down.
It was rated more than once.
And so I bought this thousand milligram brownie and it was dense like you felt that it was like, oh, this is it feels like three sticks of butters in your hand.
Like it was a lot. And so I was I was like, I can't eat this whole thing.
So I decided to nibble a corner and I don't know if how it was made, like it all dipped in the corner or something, but I'm telling you,
I took one bite of this thousand milligram brownie
and within 15 minutes, I was so high.
I felt like I was in a Looney Tunes episode.
Like I was like doinked with the whole sound.
I was trying to walk and I was like,
this is not working.
And I was in my house.
I was still living with my parents
and I was like, oh, this is not.
Your mom's like, honey, you want some dinner? He's like, doink. He's like,'s like honey you want some dinner he's like so i had to get up the stairs i had to go in my room and i felt i felt
the earth moving like that's what it was like for me it was my feet felt something different than my
head so i was moving like i was like it was insane so i went to put myself to bed and i went to bed
maybe about 10 o'clock and i woke up bed You just kind of lay down until you stop feeling sick.
And so I woke up maybe about 2.30.
It was like super, super dark.
And I woke up to the sound of my bedroom door opening, but really like just a little, a little creak.
And so I was like, OK, like sometimes doors open like, you know, you were saying with Tommy, you know, sometimes the AC will kind of make pockets.
I was like, OK, whatever. And I was still beyond high, like so high.
I don't even know if I remembered I was high, but I mean, I ate too much weed.
And so the door opens a little bit and I'm sleeping where the covers are kind of covering my face a little.
And I'm starting to get the blood pressure going, the adrenaline. And I'm like, OK, this is kind of weird. The door didn't just open a little, it opened a little and then a
little more and then a little more. So I'm like kind of freaked out. And I'm like, look, maybe
someone, maybe there's a robber, maybe someone's spying on me. You know what I got to do?
I didn't think it was like your mom being like, honey.
Well, in my brain, it had been like five minutes of me, like in fear being like, okay,
is the door going to close? Cause like, if you're peeking, you close the door, right? No, the door was like this, opening, opening,
opening. So I decided that I was going to finally gain the courage, pop open my sheets like a big
surprise attack. I was going to be like, if someone's here and they're like, you know,
like I'm going to pop up and get them. So right when I'm like, I'm going to pop up and get them,
all of a sudden I hear footsteps. And I, in my room, it's a high pile carpet, but it's also like a wood floor underneath.
So you get a creak sometimes at night, but high pile, you hear kind of like a whoosh,
like if someone's stepping, you know?
Yeah.
It's completely silent at night.
And so I'm hearing creaks and stepping synchronously.
So I'm like, that's a footstep.
Like if someone's stepping on my carpet, you would hear the carpet and then you'd hear
the wood creak because I'm on the second floor.
And so now I'm freaked the fuck out.
I was about to do a surprise attack.
I'd gained the courage.
Now I'm shitting my pants.
I'm full on like someone is staring over my face right now.
Like that's how I feel.
That's really scary.
There's like four footsteps the same distance.
You'd get right above me like I'm freaking the fuck out.
And I'm like, no, go back to your plane.
Surprise attack.
Surprise attack.
So I'm like, this is it.
This is it.
I pop up to try to like, you know, whoever it i'm like this is it this is it i pop up
to try to like you know whoever it is i'm gonna get you i pop up the moment i pop up i swear to
god my bedroom door which is like halfway open goes closes so quick quicker than like it's not
like a slow like and now i'm fucked i'm like this is it like slams shut slams shut like enough that
if anyone else was awake like someone else should have woken up.
Like it was loud.
I was like, this is it.
My heart is pounding.
I'm like, I am fucked.
Surprise attack didn't work.
I go back into the covers because I'm like, look, if they come back, if they come back, I have to be hidden.
So I hide.
And then I realize, what if they're still in the room?
What if it's a ghost and it's in the fucking room?
Why would it have left?
It just closed the door behind it. Now it's a ghost And it's in the fucking room Why would it have left? It just closed the door behind it
Now it's me versus ghost
What you need to do, and this is what I would do in that situation
You say out loud, you go
I'm not stuck in here with you
You're stuck in here with me
And then I pull my pants down
And then you shit your pants
Surprise attack
And then it goes like
Okay, so now I'm fucking freaked.
I'm back under the covers.
My heart is racing.
I think now there's a ghost in the room,
and I'm like, this ghost is going to kill me.
That's what ghosts do.
Ghosts kill people.
Now I'm fucked.
People are going to find me dead under my sheets.
This is just the worst thing.
You're having a terrible trip right now.
Just a horrible, high as hell.
High trip right now.
Your mom comes in, Noah, and you're there just like.
That's what I imagined.
Ghost kill.
With a brownie in his hand.
I'm the only ever OD.
What if you pull down the sheets and it's the cow with the three eyes?
You need to finish the brownie, Noah.
Okay.
I swear to God, there's a ghost above me.
He's going to kill me.
They're going to kill me, whomever they are. And at this God, there's a ghost above me. He's going to kill me. They're going to kill me,
whomever they are. And I, at this point I accept it. It's probably been two or three minutes of me
knowing the ghost is above me. I know for a fact, the ghost is above me. There's nothing I can do.
I can't think my way out of this surprise attack. Didn't work. It didn't scare it off. I'm like,
that's it. I'm going to die. I'm going to die. The moment that I'm kind of like feeling that
they're coming closer to me, I hear my blinds go.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
The weirdest thing, though, is I feel the energy that I'm not the only one surprised.
The ghost was surprised by the window.
I'm telling you, this ghost did not expect the window because I was feeling that I was going to die.
You can feel it.
You can feel it.
This whole story is surprising me. I'm telling How did you know? You could feel it was a surprise. You know what I'm surprised? You can feel it. This whole story is surprising me.
I'm stunned.
I'm telling you, you know when you feel something.
And I was feeling it.
If a ghost had breath, it was breathing on me.
And there was a sheen in between me.
Oh, it's like blinds?
Yeah.
No.
Now it's like the ghost turned its head also.
And I was like, oh, shit.
Like something new is happening that neither of us expected tonight.
Like the plan is going haywire
at this point so i peeked through the covers because i'm like at this point ghost is gonna
kill me now's a new contender in the ring what the fuck is gonna happen i look my window's a
little ajar my screen i don't have a screen there so i'm like bro an alien just got in here bro i
knew an alien just fucking got in my window.
And you know what's crazy?
The ghost knew as well.
Because the ghost stopped.
I felt the three of us.
I could feel the energy.
We were in a Mexican standoff.
It was me, an alien, and a ghost.
And the ghost and the alien, they didn't know that they both were coming to my room that night.
It's as if they both had a plan.
Like, they just so happened to be in the same place.
I swear to God.
So, essentially, I realize, okay, no matter what happens, like, I'm not making it out.
And they're determining between the two of them right now who gets first dibs, right?
Is the ghost going to kill me or is the alien going to probe me?
Take you.
Or is the alien going to probe me?
Yeah.
And then the ghost.
So, I just accept it
and I said, this is it, let me get under my sheets.
I go under my sheets, I'm scared as hell,
I feel a ghost, I feel tickling by my legs.
I'm like, oh, the probe's coming.
I feel it by my leg hairs and I swear to God,
my heart rate is so, I think I passed out.
I think I fully passed out from an anxiety attack.
Because you were so high.
Because an alien was trying to kill me
while a ghost was trying to probe me you don't know what that's like an alien's trying to kill
you while the ghost's trying to no no no flip it flip it got it yeah heard and i knew it i knew it
and so i fell asleep i think i passed out from an anxiety attack and i woke up in the morning and i
just want to say like you know probing isn't as bad as they say i guess because i was fine and whatever the
ghost wanted it got maybe they fought i don't know what happened i was asleep i woke up i was good
you were completely fine your window was slightly ajar window was slightly ajar door was still open
or no door was closed do you remember opening that window or was that window like is that
window usually closed i have no fucking clue my I don't take tabs in my window.
My brain just goes to his mom going like,
it's really hot in here.
Open the door.
She's like, let's close the blinds.
Tickle, tickle, tickle, my sweet little boy.
And then she leaves.
I think your mom's a ghost.
She goes, God, you're so high, little tickle.
I was a ghost and an alien.
Why are you so certain it was an alien
in that second situation, not another ghost?
Because what comes in through a second story window that would surprise a ghost?
Everybody knows that.
You don't think a ghost could surprise a ghost?
It's like a rock, paper, scissors situation?
It's like a Gmail account calendar.
Like a ghost should know where a ghost.
Why would two ghosts try to haunt the same soul?
Unless they're like ghost twins.
Right?
Then you're only getting half a soul that night.
Maybe it's a mom and a papa and they want a baby.
Were you still high
when you woke up?
Without a doubt.
Without a fucking doubt.
I'm telling you,
dude,
I ate so little
of that brownie
and now I know
the real moral of the story
is I know why
they're serving sizes.
Like,
if anyone ever was like,
oh my God,
like,
I totally can handle more.
Like,
maybe you can,
but the issue is,
is like, thank God I was in my room at night
when an alien and a ghost showed up.
Imagine I was anywhere else.
And they just showed up?
Yes.
Could you imagine if you were anywhere else
at the grocery store?
I don't want to be anywhere
when a ghost and an alien both show up at the same time.
And if you eat enough weed, it happens.
You started this story by saying
you don't believe in ghosts,
you don't believe in aliens.
But then you just told us a story
about a ghost and an alien. 100 saying you don't believe in ghosts. You don't believe in aliens. I don't believe in them. But then you just told us a story about a ghost and an alien.
100%.
You don't believe in them.
There's no world where ghosts and aliens are real.
However, for me, in that little half an hour span, there was both a ghost and an alien trying to straight up take me.
And they weren't even working together.
They had to, like, figure it out as they went along.
It was a loose alliance.
It was a loose alliance it was a loose alliance it was like the men the dwarves and the elves up against love you know the the forces of right it's true love that it's wait could you hear them talking you i'm gonna be
honest i'm gonna be honest i couldn't hear it but i could feel that there was a dialogue
you know i took And I love that.
Yeah, I took ASL for a few years, so I feel like I could handle body language and energy communication.
But they were speaking two different languages.
So this alien can see ghosts and was fully aware there's a ghost in there.
I'm not sure how it works.
What if the alien was there for the ghost?
I'm still not sure if the alien was invisible or just very little.
Oh, that's a good point, Shane.
What if the alien was like, hey, you're coming with me.
I saw your calendar.
I knew you'd be here. For all I know, the alien showed up
because it wanted to study the ghost
haunting me. Who knows? And that's why
it tickled your feet? It tickled my feet and it
went up my legs and I closed my eyes and
fell asleep before I could get to my butt.
That's what I did. I said, if it's gonna
probe me, I'm gonna be asleep.
Okay.
I woke up okay. Just asleep okay I woke up okay just saying and did you
take more bites of that brownie eventually
I threw that shit the fuck away
a thousand
is psychotic
I would never even try to eat that whole thing
I ate the corner yeah but back in the day
those things aren't they're not
regulated they're not regulated.
They're not.
Look, I don't know where it was made.
No, you don't know anything about that.
Let's, no, here's what I'm curious about.
You're talking about hauntings and aliens.
I think we need to go back to that brownie.
You found this weird brownie
with a weird cow imagery on it.
What if that brownie,
it summons demons
and you didn't eat enough of that brownie
for the demons to come and fully get you, but they wanted you. I think that brownie, it summons demons, and you didn't eat enough of that brownie for the demons to come and fully get you, but they wanted you.
I think that brownie, you eat the whole brownie.
You join them.
You join them.
You become the third eye.
Yeah.
Have you gotten high since?
Yes, but nowhere near.
But nothing has happened. No, I've never, never with marijuana have I ever had any experience like that other than the time that I ate that thousand milligram brownie.
Maybe very early on, like the second time I got high, I thought I saw a ghost chicken, but that's different.
I was just really high.
What do you, I wonder what would happen because I know you can't.
It's totally different.
I know you can't overdose on weed, but what would happen if you ate the whole brownie?
You know, I think what I did was probably
an overdose. I feel like you can think you need to
go to the hospital. I've been to the hospital.
I think you have a panic attack.
I couldn't stop fainting.
Wait, what? Oh my god.
Yeah.
I've never heard someone describe that.
It was like four months into our relationship.
I drank hot chocolate. What do you mean you
can't stop fainting?
And it wasn't even weed.
It was just really good.
It was.
No, it was weed.
There's a lot of marshmallows in it.
I straight up went to the hospital.
You kept fainting.
And what did they do for you?
Because I was so high.
They gave you more hot chocolate?
They put me in a wheelchair and I threw up all over the nurse's shoe and she called me
a fucking bitch.
It's a long story.
It's a long story.
Those nurses work hard.
But damn, they do not like it if you are
fucked up yo do you know what brand you ate no his stepdad made it for us shit maybe he's the
connector he's probably the green maybe he's the three-eyed cow oh my god it's like the three-eyed
raven you literally need to google that yeah it has to be a brand i feel like it was called like
kosovo or there's gonna be a comment beneath being like, I had one of those, man. That was crazy.
Same thing happened to me, bro.
And I saw the same thing happen.
I bet our fans will find that.
Yeah.
All right.
Wow.
Well, Noah, I didn't know what to expect, of course.
And that was incredible.
What did Keith say when you told him that story?
I've never told him that story.
You've never told Keith that story?
I think I've forgotten to every time I've hung out with him.
You're like, let me remind you.
I gotta tell you something.
I want to see Keith's reaction when you tell him that shit.
Okay.
Thank you, Noah.
Bye, guys.
Thank you, Noah.
Go back to where you came from.
See ya.
I don't know what's scarier.
Having a ghost and alien both enter your room or having a trip that bad.
Having a trip that bad. a trip that bad because let
me tell you that was the worst night of my life that sounds awful and do not go to the la zoo
lights while you're on it oh god holy crap you can smell animals and see lights you look over
at the howler monkeys and they're like hey amanda how's it going but they have lights everywhere
and trust me especially when you're first dating, not cute.
Yeah, rough.
That was a test.
Yeah.
You passed.
You were basically married when that happened.
No, I was like three months in and my sister was like, I'm going to murder your boyfriend.
He harmed you.
And I was like, we both drank hot chocolate.
She's like, he's never forgiven.
Garnier seems like the type to put in a lot
yeah and he's like yum yum yum and he was fine good time no he was fucked up but he was having
a blast he's like he's like he's like you just fainted we gotta figure this out
that's the story for another time Anyways. Our next story.
Our next and last story.
Yeah.
Because these have been so incredible.
Oh.
And maybe we saved the best for last.
I don't know.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Chance.
Chance.
Is here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes, honey.
I would just like to say if there's any ghosts or aliens that are trying to probe me,
I won't be asleep.
I knew you were going to say that.
He's like, surprise attack, bitch, I'm
looking at you. I'm like, bitch, I've already lubed out

I'm like, no crucifix here.
Where are your rosary beads bitch?
Oh.
Well.
Well.
There's also been a lot of.
Guys this is Chance.
Hey how y'all doing?
There's also been a lot of talk of like aliens
and interdimensional beings and I'm like what are ghosts
but interdimensional beings?
Fair. That's so true. What if we die, we go to a different plane of existence that's what i
think yeah it's just ghosts are in a different plane that's what i think pretty crazy okay so
you've been haunted so yes i've been haunted um i come from franklin tennessee which haunted place
haunted place this is the american, I feel like, is.
Yeah.
The American South in general.
Virginia, like South Carolina, aren't they haunted?
Yeah, 100%.
Or is it like all of Appalachia is apparently haunted?
Yeah.
It's just also the woods.
I see a lot of things about the woods in general.
Also alien stuff there, too.
Not as much alien stuff.
Alien stuff's more like Nevada, Utah.
Great.
Nice.
Yeah.
The West is the aliens. Got it. The West is the aliens. The East is the haunted stuff. Oh. That's more like Nevada, Utah. Nice. Yeah. The West is the aliens.
Got it.
The West is the aliens.
The East is the haunted stuff.
Yeah, it's more ghosts.
More ghosts, definitely.
But Franklin, Tennessee, just so much like unended suffering that is like going on into
the afterlife, I think is what's going on there.
But we had this place called the Carter House and the Carton Plantation.
And so they are these places that battles during the Civil War took place.
Civil War.
And Tennessee was like a battleground state because it's right in the middle of the South and the North that we're fighting.
So like a lot of battles went on there, especially in Franklin, most notably the battle of franklin oh wow
interesting yes very creative very creative well you name it what it is where are we
um and so one of our field trips that we would take in oh yeah i was gonna do a bit wait
i forgot i was gonna do a bit should i do the bit late now okay i'm gonna do the bit now
i'm gonna do the bit now um okay so i have a ghost story so um it was right after covid and
i went on a date with this guy and he the date went well the food was great and then he just
was like do you want to go out to this lookout point and i was like oh sure so we're like driving up the hill to this look don't lose it before you get to the vet
okay keep it going we're driving up to this lookout point and we're up there and i'm kind
of getting creeped out because it's like high up we're not near anyone it's my first date with this
guy um but we just we sat there and we're like
on the edge of this cliff and
we're talking and then I'm like,
can I kiss you? And he's like, yes. And so I kiss
and then we go back to my place. We have two more
dates and then he just stops
responding to me.
There it is. Let me ask.
Did he
ghost you?
Did he ghost you?
I had this whole bit where I was going to tell this really long story.
And then it was going to be bad.
I can't.
I forgot I had an actual story too.
I can't.
Okay, back to Franklin, Tennessee, where the Civil War is happening.
Minus you getting ghosted at the lookout point.
What fucking year is it?
There was three dates later. You can't ghost
someone after three dates. That's crazy. Is that a real story?
That is a real story. Wow. Ghosting
after three dates is crazy. That is crazy.
That is crazy. That's really...
That's past the threshold where it's
really bad. That's really bad.
Yeah, really bad.
And it didn't even get probed.
Back to the quarter house.
Back to the haunted land where
people killed each other.
So there was the Battle of Franklin.
Over 1,700 people
died at this place because it was right next to
the battle and so it was just where
everyone was going to get some sort
of help because these weapons
aren't very efficient they're not
yeah they're like shitty they're shitty and they're more infecting people into death it was like the
deadliest war it was super deadly and so people died it was crazy yeah it's not even like they're
not even going through and like stabbing people to make sure they're dead like they would in some
wars like sword wars yeah sword wars in the sword wars those were crazy wars sword wars why
is that not a term i don't know you know the time of the sword wars sword wars or guns okay um so
so we took field trips there and um our dress code was to dress like confederate soldiers so
there are pictures that's so that's unacceptable like gray, I'm like a little half-black kid
in this Confederate soldier.
Ready to fight for America.
And the Ghosts of Union soldiers did not like that.
No, they did not like that.
Well, and Tennessee was, it was middle ground,
so it was volunteer state because people were volunteering
on both sides.
Wow.
It was in between the Union and the...
That's crazy.
Crazy, right?
It's gotta be a trippy time in history to be like,
you got to choose.
I mean, that's what it was.
It was like, and even brothers in the same household
would be like, I'm going to the union
and I'm going to the Confederacy.
Thanksgiving that year was awkward.
Where's that?
Where's that movie?
Where is that movie?
Where is that movie?
That's a good movie.
All right, all right.
No political conversations.
All right. We'll kill each other later this year? Oh my God. All right. I should make that movie. No political conversations. All right.
We'll kill each other later this year.
Oh my God.
Okay.
So we went on a field trip and during the field trip,
we knew this place was like haunted.
It had like ghosts and we knew this.
Two different kids passed out after they saw the same ghost.
Allegedly it was this woman and there was a woman.
I can't remember what her name was McGormick McGormick McGaugh McGavick whoa McGavick whoa McGavick um sounds legit yes and there was a
woman who like was the main caretaker of the house and they both said they saw this woman who just
fits her description it was like brown hair long brown hair big white dress and a candle and they
saw her two different kids at different parts of the field trip passed out saying they said the song
same ghost and they're like they're like fourth graders they're not like that and how old were you
fourth grade okay fourth grade field trip in a confederate in a confederate uniform okay
and i think i even picked cotton that trip i'm'm not kidding. I can't. It was a cotton plantation.
So they were like, go and pick some cotton.
God damn.
So anyways, so that is fast forward.
They don't do tours all year.
So it like shuts down for part of the year.
Okay.
And this is senior year of high school.
My friends and I were like reminiscing about haunted places.
And we're like trying to get a kick.
We're like so done with this town. We're years old we're like get us out of here like we
need to rage against the dying of the light um and so we were like what if we went to like the
carton plantation like while it was like dark and at nighttime which don't do that and i don't and
my friends were white i will say my friends were white so there
so we got our confederate
uniform back on
we got our confederate
you still fit
still fit
skinny as fuck
and so
we went back
and so
we're driving there
we're already like
kind of freaked out
because we knew the
we remember the fainting
yeah
we always hear
all this shit about it
so
we go there and we pull up
and then we like hop the gate or whatever
and we like are walking down the driveway
and you can kind of hear something
from the house already
when we're walking up to it.
It's like a...
And you can hear like cling clangs of... Someone has the kettle on. Cling clangs of
Someone has the kettle on
Cling clangs of metal too
Like it's giving
Cling clangs of metal is exactly what it is
So we're like already freaked out
Because we can hear things going on inside the house
It's like
11.30 maybe midnight
It's late
It's the haunting it's the witching hour
And so We're like so scared maybe midnight. It's late. Yeah. It's the haunting. It's the witching hour, bitch.
Yeah.
And so we're like so scared.
So like we walk up to the,
and we can,
we can hear the things still kind of muffled up wherever it's coming from.
And so we open the door and all the sounds stop.
You can just open the door.
It was unlocked.
It was unlocked.
That's crazy.
So we unlock,
unlock the door. We're not in the main house. We're in like one of the side houses if there's a it's a huge plantation
there's like a bunch of different buildings got it um and so we go in and we go to the one that
we hear sounds from as soon as we open it stops nothing so we're like what the hell and i'm we're
all freaked out some of us are recording There's probably a video somewhere of this.
And my adopted brother, Fred, we're all like whispering.
We're being so quiet.
And Fred is Brazilian.
Fred is loud.
Fred is brave.
Fred is boisterous.
Fred is not very haphazard.
His name just doesn't match this description.
Frederico de Andretta.
Oh, there it is.
All right.
I was like, Fred?
Yeah, Fred, no.
Okay.
Frederico de Andretta.
Frederico.
Frederico.
Uh-huh.
Got it.
Frederico.
And so we're all like,
I'm, like, you can feel pins and needles.
And, like, this place. It's so dark.
It is so,
so dark.
The moon's like half lit.
So there's not a lot of light.
There's no streetlights.
There's no,
it's really fucking dark.
One of us has our flashlights on our phone and Fred goes,
show yourself.
But it,
which is so funny because he was quoting,
he was quoting Damian Wayne's movie.
They had like a joke movie.
Scary movie?
Not scary movie.
It's like, what's the movie with the camera and paranormal activity?
Paranormal activity.
They had a spoof of that.
Okay.
And there's like a reverend and he comes in and he's like,
shout yourself!
Shout yourself!
So he was quoting that.
Very funny now,
but we were so angry and so
scared. We heard
something shift upstairs and we just
had to book it out of there.
So we're running, because
we have to run all the way back and jump a fence.
So we're sprinting
back and we look up
and there's this chicken!
There's a chicken, a live chicken
about 40 feet in the air on a
pole. I don't know what it means.
I don't know if it has some tarot meaning
or some spiritual meaning. It doesn't.
But chickens can't fly that high.
How did that chicken get on that pole?
And the chicken was, it was alive. It was a real chicken.
I don't know. But we're
running. We didn't have time to think about it.
And my friend Lexi was like, chickens don't fly. Chickens don't know. But we're running. We didn't have time to think about it. And my friend Lexi was like, chickens don't fly!
Chickens don't fly!
We're thinking, is it a ghost chicken?
I don't know what the deal with the chicken is. So we're running.
We run. We get back to our car.
We're like freaking out. We're like screaming. We're like, oh my god!
Drive out of here! Oh my god. So we leave.
And we're talking about it
for like a couple days.
And then two weeks later we find out that there was a meth lab in there.
So we were going into a meth lab, which is much scarier than ghosts.
Yeah.
Much scarier than ghosts.
Wait, stop.
Yeah.
We were just a bunch of teens about to go into a fucking meth lab.
Do you mean that they were up there?
Yes, they were up there cooking fucking meth, which Tennessee's really bad.
We had a lot of shit all over.
Why would they choose that house?
I know, because it was empty.
They weren't doing tours, so they were just like, fuck yeah.
That doesn't explain why the chicken was up on the pole.
Exactly.
The chicken had smoked meth.
I'm a good student.
But this is how we remember the story.
We're like, the chicken story.
Because the chicken was the scariest part.
How did that chicken get up there?
How did that chicken get up there?
It wasn't haunted. Maybe it was haunted chicken.
Wait, that's terrifying. Did they get
busted? Did they get moved out of there?
Yes. It was a whole thing.
That's crazy. Cooking up meth in a
haunted Civil War
place? Yeah. But that sounds
like a great place to cook meth.
It sounds like a movie. Like this whole thing. Yeah. My life sounds like a great place to cook meth. It sounds like a movie, like this whole thing.
Whoa!
My life's like a movie.
Wait, Chance, that's crazy.
I know.
Do you ever go back?
No.
Why would I ever go back?
Why would you ever go back?
To do meth.
I didn't even want to go in the first place.
But you didn't see, so you didn't see the woman, though.
I never saw the woman.
But those kids that fainted.
I've never seen a woman.
The kids that fainted did. The kids that fainted did.
The kids that fainted did.
That's really creepy.
I don't remember which two kids, but I do know.
So if you went to Walnut Grove and you were the kid that fainted, reach out to me.
Reach out.
Yeah.
Comment below.
I can't remember which two of you fainted, but I know two of you fainted.
And tell us about the woman that they saw.
Holy shit.
Yeah, the woman.
I wonder if they still have kids dress up in Confederate uniforms and pick cotton.
I do think so.
To this day.
I know my middle school mascot was the general.
And it was a Confederate general.
But our colors were, watch this.
Our colors were blue, white, and light gray.
The colors of the Civil War were blue for the Union and gray for the Confederacy.
So they switched the general from gray to blue after I went there.
Okay, so that's what they did.
So now it's a Union general.
We did Civil War reenactments down the street from us. Which side were you on?
Well, you were in Massachusetts.
I was in Massachusetts.
So we blew?
You're like, I don't know.
I don't fucking know.
But there were guys with muskets.
And Shane, which side were you on?
Which side were you?
I grew up in Arizona.
We didn't touch that stuff.
You didn't touch that stuff? Orange You didn't touch that stuff?
Holy shit
Dude, I'm telling you
I feel like I don't know
If I would be able to go into that house
No
No, I would just be like
I'm not going in there
I think what's really scary
Is like Civil War
Like old battle stuff
Bitch, there's still bullet holes in the house
Yeah
There's still the discoloration
From all the blood of the
people that were seeping into the wood.
Holy God!
They just had bodies on bodies on bodies
just sprawled out.
Some half alive trying to save them
with the fucked
ass medical supplies that you have
in 1863.
That is insane.
Dude, teenagers that go to places to scare themselves are insane. Yeah. Dude. Crazy.
Teenagers that go to places to scare themselves
are insane.
Why?
We definitely have,
I've definitely done it,
but we definitely have
places like that.
You just need a thrill.
You need a thrill.
You need to get out.
Yeah, you need to get out.
It's like Footloose.
You need to get out of that town.
Let us dance.
Did your adopted brother
from Brazil
also have to participate
in those,
like the reenactments?
He had not moved here from Brazil yet.
So he did not become confederico.
Hey,
wow.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Shit.
No.
Oh God.
Oh God.
It hurts.
Oh shit.
Oh man.
Just pull the bullet out,
please.
Wrapping these stories to like, let it out at a certain time.
I thought of it a while ago, and I was like, I'm just going to wait for the opportunity.
Just wait.
Just sit on it.
Sit on it.
And Frederico.
And Frederico is awesome.
I literally can't.
That is nuts, man.
I'm amazed.
So I've heard-
I'm going to be honest.
Amanda would think my brother is hot.
I was just thinking that when you said his full name, I was like,
I knew it. Another Portuguese person?
He's a chef in Amsterdam.
Whoa.
Comes out of the kitchen, he's like, show yourself.
Show yourself.
He's my height.
How tall are you? 5'11".
Oh, that's fine. I can work with that.
Oh.
That's fine. I can work with that. I's fine i can work with that i probably would but i'm
saying him two in heels back that's true i'd love to see that actually i've seen it a million times
okay you're wearing heels right now but we can't tell you can't see him uh that is insane wow crazy
right that's crazy holy crap i almost think yeah i agree that it's worse to find out it's a real person.
Yes.
It's way scarier.
It's way scarier.
You could have been really hurt.
I will take a ghost over, like, if someone's like, hey, you got to stay in that house.
There's been reports that it's haunted and there's ghosts.
You have to stay in that house.
And there's people that are there.
We don't know who they are.
And I'm like, I'm taking the ghost.
People are way scarier.
And that's what I've noticed about horror movies recently, too.
I'm like, there's a lot of, like, people horror movies.
Like, people just sick in the head.
And that's what's scary.
Yeah, that is totally.
Like, people coming into your house and, like, the strangers, like, they're coming in.
Oh, fuck no.
That shit is so scary.
I mean, way more than, like.
Or what's that new one with James McAvoy?
Where they're, oh.
Oh.
Speak no evil.
Speak no evil.
That type of stuff is.
I haven't seen it yet.
You go on vacation.
That scares me on a real level.
Ghosts scare me on a what's going on,
the unknown, but people are actually terrifying.
The real monsters are...
And drugs.
Drugs are the scariest thing out there.
That's true.
There's no demon like meth.
But there are safe drugs too.
Yeah, like the brownies.
Like weed?
Were you also high?
I was not high.
I was not high at all.
Wow.
And none of my friends were high.
We were good.
Good for Fred.
And we didn't drink either.
Fred drank.
Of course he did.
That's awesome.
I love that.
Wow.
Well, thank you so much, Chance.
What was that?
What was that, Chance? Thank you so much, Chance. Thank much, Chance. What was that? What was that, Chance?
Thank you so much, Chance.
Thank you, Chance.
That was excellent.
That was crazy.
Wow.
And now you're...
Should I leave?
Well, these stories have been incredible.
These were three completely different ghost stories.
Yeah.
Completely unexpected from our wonderful cast members.
Pretty wild shit.
We have a ghost story
of our own that
you will be able to see
on Halloween on Smosh
Pit because Amanda and I
stayed overnight here at this studio.
We recorded the whole
thing and we brought equipment
and
things happened. Because not only do people have ghost
stories in their life a lot a lot of employees here at smosh have a bunch of paranormal paranormal
encounters here in the office yeah so we turned off all the lights we had ghost hunting gear
and we did some ghost hunting and some really crazy things happened.
Yeah, you're going to want to check this one out.
You're going to want to check this out.
It's coming out on Halloween, which is later this week.
There's nothing crazier than seeing this entire office dark.
Yeah.
That's what I will say.
Immediately creepy.
Immediately creepy.
What about seeing this entire office?
It's creepier than seeing this entire office. What? Well, you know, it's creepier than seeing this entire office dark.
Seeing this entire office like if it was like red light or instead.
