Are ghosts alive and we're actually dead? Is soul music actually called that because it harvests the souls of innocents? Answers to these questions and more on this episode of This Paranormal Life. The first one's great. I like that one. The ghosts are alive and we're dead. Sometimes it's just a simple switcheroo. That's all it takes. Welcome to the podcast. My name is Kit Greer. I'm your host today.

I'm joined by my professional paranormal investigator host, Mr. Rory Pars. Hello, paranormal people. People. I was about to say investigators, and I was like, absolutely not. They don't have the privilege of calling themselves a paranormal investigator. You're not a Dr. Rory Pars PhD. The P is for paranormal. The H is for... Hot. I'm hot. Who knows what.

Paranormal hot dick. So welcome to the podcast. If this is your first time tuning in on This Paranormal Life, each week we dissect a paranormal tale or claim and try and find out what's true, what's fake, what's real, what's bad, what's good, what's high, what's low, what's new and what's old. And just try and find out what's fake what's real what's bad what's good what's high what's low what's new and what's old and just try and find out what's real now i'm thinking about actually scrap all that other stuff just whether it was real yeah actually let's just cut to that i mean hot or cold i don't think that's the primary concern of a paranormal investigator today's tale. The High Ghost of Lowington. So today... We will investigate.

At this point, it's sad. They're just making it up. I've got a good one for you, Rory. Let me ask you a question. I don't even have a question. I just realized. Let me ask you a question. You passed the test.

Well done. You called my bluff, sir. But let me tell you this riddle. Seconds pass. No riddle. Test two. Well done, sir. I see you've played this game before.

Pick a card. There's no deck. Very good. Anyway, it's time you left. This is my house again. You have outdone me, sir. Like a stick of gum again. There's nothing there.

Let me ask you a question for real this time. Okay. How much do you know about interdimensional travel? That's interesting. Very little. Very little. Nor do I. That's why it's a mystery. much do you know about interdimensional travel that's interesting uh very little very little nor do i that's why it's a mystery let me rewind the clock let's jump back in time it's 19 literally i have to do like old-timey music in here oh hello chaps what am i get dressed in those odd clothes?

Let's wind back the clock to 1954, Tokyo. It's Haneda International Airport. Business as usual in Tokyo, just another European flights checking in. And passengers start queuing up at immigration. The immigration officer is checking everyone's passport. I mean, this is 1954. This is like pre-9-11. They're probably just like... Just waltz right in. Yeah yeah you just probably like dance right in no one cares just smoke your cigarettes anywhere you want absolutely just hand in they're just like border patrols handing cigars to children yeah as they file into the country woman behind the desk she's not getting paid as

much as that guy it's all it's all backwards so So the immigration officer's checking everyone's passports. Name, check. Age, check. Nationality, check. And if it all checks out, in you go. Well, dozens of passengers are filing by until the officer looks up and inspects a passport that he doesn't recognize.

That's funny. So he checks the details. Name, age, nationality, TORED. It's in my mind. Puts down the passport. Next person puts down the passport. This dude comes up. Torad. It's in my mind. Puts down the passport. Next person puts down the passport. This dude comes up. Ancient slab on the countertop.

Greetings. He's got like spikes in his shoulder. Send me home. He's straight out like Mad Max. When is the flight to Torad? Nine. Would you like a smoking or non-smoking seat? My species is constantly exhaling smoke.

We're from Cigaro 16. Cigar producing planet. That's why I came to Smokeo. No, this is Tokyo. What? I've been duped. His friends went to Smokey and they gave him the wrong name deliberately.

Did you think you were in Smokey? I don't want to talk about it. Just get me out of here. Really defensive. It's full of cigars to smoke up with the boys. So he's from a country they don't recognize torred torred okay the border um patrol he checks with his co-workers and no one's ever heard of torred

i mean if you think this is this is just post-war japan i mean it's not like the information age so i guess this guy thinks it's possible i've missed something this is my second language you know as well yeah totally national country so just making sure so no one's ever heard of it they noticed that this guy speaks um french perfectly japanese and a number of other languages okay so they ask him where torred is what does he mean by it and the man's surprised he's like oh torred it's uh on the border between spain and france and he's like blown away that no one knows what it is. And he says it's been there for like a thousand years.

Apparently this guy just looks, apparently doesn't have spikes in his shoulders and speaks like a, like his cigars in every orifice of his body in his fricking eye sockets. Apparently he just looks normal, well-dressed, speaks perfect French in particular. At first the officers think,

does this guy mean Andorrara does this guy like dumb as hell or like forgotten the word is he having like a like a breakdown of some kind right or he's mastered so many languages he's made his own and he's like i'm from torrent that's the that's france in me language a master of 17 languages all made up it's actually a pretty easy to learn a language when you make it up on the fly. Spoken perfectly by one, Con. That means me in my language. Just make it up as you go a gang. That's long. But the man refuses. No, I'm from Taret. This is a tough spot for them because at this point i'm kind of placing myself in this in this airport workers position if someone arrives with a legit passport in the sea of people with passports and it it seems like it's got all of the right things

it's got the little holographic bit it's got like the chip in the front i don't know if it did back then and someone i think no with a legit passport you don't recognize it what do you do it's hard to just say no i'm not buying it go home piss off home get in the next flight right so he's kind of running it by people even more weirdly they flick through his passport and he has all the visa stamps from his previous business trips through japan so they're going so they've let him through someone's let him through before Someone's let him through before They think Let's talk to this guy's company And get an ID on him

Let's talk to someone else Who knows who this guy is I take the names and addresses In his documentation And look them up Much like his fateful flight The company he was meeting Existed

But not the company He said he was from So did he make it up? The hotel he's staying at Had no record of him coming And the bank on his checkbook Didn't seem to exist either. What?

So is something mysterious afoot, or is he a Leonardo DiCaprio of himself in Catch Me If You Can, just like peeling off checkbook stickers, and is he just like a fraudster? So you can't let someone in the country without any documentation. That's how it goes. So whilst they get to the bottom of this mystery, they put him in a hotel room overnight with security monitoring his whereabouts. Fast forward the next morning, border officials are

filing into work in Haneda airport and everyone's ready to take another look at this case. Now they've slept on it. They go to the office to check on the passport again. What? It's gone? It's gone. It's not in the drawer or in his driver's license. Everything's's gone quick call security at the hotel they bust into the room where the man from towerhead was staying and nothing there's no trace of him ever having been there clean sheets baby what gideon bible still in the drawer baby mini bar fully stocked baby surprisingly empty all the freaking hole in the sliding door yes it was as if this had never happened so this story opens a whole can of worms or should i say whole can of worm holes that's right what if he didn't travel by plane but rather tried by wormhole from another parallel dimension but if that was true then presumably he would know that he'd gone through a wormhole.

But what if he like tripped through one? Alice in Wonderland style, just like fell down a hole. No, you don't trip through a wormhole. There's no accidental passages through wormholes. We don't know that. That's very true. I don't know that. But then also, so if this man can travel between realities via wormholes,

then also, why is he so dumbfounded when he's entered a reality where his country doesn't exist? Presumably then that's happened before. Presumably he's gone through a reality where everyone has snakes for heads. You know, why be so confused when it's like, oh, my country doesn't exist.

That's weird. Although to be fair, the last reality I was in, everyone were clowns you know that's a very weird minute thing to yeah i want to be so i know you mean it's like because you could feasibly go into the next universe where up is down you're really hanging on to that aren't you uh and hot is cold and our normal investigators we need to know hot from cold and up from down but you could go into a parallel dimension and planes could be spiders and airports could be muffins spiders you could enter a world where everything is spiders it's essentially a spider world spider land the spiders walk on spiders welcome to spider land

admission is three spiders three flies very rare currency it's just a big web yeah see that would be weird if he showed up to web world and went to spider immigration

and was like oh that's weird my hometown doesn't exist spiders conversely have actually really heard of torrid it's like a big tourist oh of course yeah then that would be more explainable i find it weird that a man who can travel through wormholes to parallel universes finds himself in such a jam well it might become more clear within the context of other experiences that's right this guy isn't

alone in his adventures let's fast fast forward. It's 2009. There's a man called James Richards. He's walking his dog in Del Puerto Canyon, California, when he trips and hits his head, rendering himself unconscious. When he blacks out, he finds himself... This is how he's recounted it. He finds himself in a strange room with a man named Jonas. Jonas explained that he was traveling interdimensionally on business so wait jonas was yeah okay so richards has like

i said accidentally whacked his head and for all intents and purposes this is a dream okay that's very much how i am proceeding with this jonas explains he's traveling interdimensionally on business the more the two talks eventually the beatles come up you talk to people about pop culture what they're into and stuff like that and hell it's a dream you can't just drop a line about beatles and not expect me to assume you're talking about a parallel universe film with beatles right after we get talked about the spider universe what do you think of beatles because you better like them where you're going hold my hand here we go jump through a wormhole welcome to beetleborg christ beetleborg jonas explained that the beetles actually existed in his dimension as well so just the same way people are also called jonas in his dimension right

there's infinite possible dimensions out there so in this one the Beatles exist there's like a ton more Beatles exist but the difference being in Jonas's parallel universe the Beatles are still alive man and they're still making music he couldn't believe that in James Richards universe they had like died if you think about it it's kind of a crazy story that one of them gets assassinated but in his universe they're still going and he's like oh my god well what's the new stuff like like i've heard all the old stuff well jonas reaches into his bag he's like i think i've actually got some freaking beatles music lying around what and he in this dream he hands him some so like a cassette right richards wakes up he wakes up in del Puerto Canyon, his dog licking his face,

and he gets up, shakes himself off, and he feels a weight in his pocket. That's right. He reaches down. The cassette is still there. He has interdimensional Beatles music. What? And if you, listeners,

go to www.thebeetlesneverbrokeup.com, you too can listen to interdimensional Beatles music. And so for those of you listening at home that can't be bothered to look up that URL, you're in luck. I'm about to play some right here on the podcast. So are you ready, Roy, to hear some interdimensional Beatles music? Unreleased Beatles music. How exciting is this? It's so crazy. Let's see what happens in their careers.

Okay, some voice work. Whoa. It's pretty jamming. I was not expecting this at all. Here we go. Pretty funky. In a dimension of wormholes. I mean, whenever I heard the story,

I was expecting this to be him farting into a microphone for 30 minutes. I'm pretty impressed. This is serviceable music. Dimension full of spiders. I'm trying to hear the voices. I'm trying, because that's going to be the telltale, you know?

Even whether it's real or not, it's not a bad song. Yeah. So, are you a Beatles fan, Rory? I dabble. I dabble. I dabble. Yeah.

We both know the music. I don't think either one of us listen to them avidly. I'm wearing 16 bits of Beatles merchandise. I mean, for sure. So, what you'll notice if you're a real Beatles fan is that within those songs are contained some of the melodies words ideas from the Beatles later works in their solo careers oh okay so people kind of criticized them and were saying I think you've just put together some of their solo stuff mashed it together and made it sound like a Beatles record yeah and Richard said fuck off off. It's real. He punched that guy in the face super hard.

Said, all you need is love. And then headbutted that bitch in the nose. That's right. He smashed him over the head with the same rock that knocked him out. You shall see what I saw. Caved his skull in actually killed the guy enjoy beetle dimension bitch hope you like spiders richard's got a big like dent in his head as well oh god but what he said was that the fact that it contained the same ideas as their solo projects did not mean that this was not Beatles music he said on the contrary they still had those ideas oh but

together in a different dimension so whenever they stayed together those songs just came out through the Beatles into this record wow that's whenever John Lennon died and they broke up they then took those ideas into their individual solo projects yeah and the beatles music was lost that's interesting way to spin it you're lying son of a bitch and i know what you're thinking this is getting pretty crazy but i've got one more for you consider the story of miss larina garcia one morning in july 2008 miss garcia woke up and thought something wasn't right her bed was a spider clothes a spider her eyelids nay spiders again how odd she looked down to see if she had not two legs as the morning before, but eight. Something wasn't right.

Her pajamas were not the kind she put on last night before bed. Weird. But she brushed it off because she was late for work. She got dressed and drove to work. But when she got there, she was informed she didn't actually work there. She's a crackhead. Impossible, she thought. She had worked there for years confused oh this is quite sad confused she drove home again wondering what the hell could be happening

imagine how confused you would be if this legit happened to you though as she entered her house her ex-boyfriend from six months ago is just chilling in her house she's like what are you doing here he says what are you talking about? We never broke up. Why would he say that? He would never say that. That's such a weird sentence. It was so quick.

What are you talking about? I didn't put you in a wormhole. I didn't bash you there with a rock. Anyway, come listen to this new Beatles tape I've got. It's actually pretty lit. What are all the instruments doing out in the living room? Nothing. She thought, impossible.

She already had a new boyfriend, but she realized she had no way of contacting him. And when she gave his information to a private investigator, the boyfriend didn't exist. So, did Mrs. Garcia travel dimensions in the middle of the night? Or did she get ghosted super hard by her ex-boyfriend? I don't know. We have a lot of anecdotes here, not a lot of hard evidence, apart from this Beatles mixtape. Alternate dimensions have been hypothesized in physics,

but not necessarily demonstrated or proven. Right. I mean, we do know in quantum physics, there are things known as virtual particles. They're known to pop in and out of existence, We do know in quantum physics, there are things known as virtual particles. They're known to pop in and out of existence. And we don't really understand how or why they do this. Are they crossing dimensions?

Is it possible that the man from Taurid just blinked in and out of our dimension, just like these particles? Or indeed, an unreleased Beatles mixtape did the same? It's interesting. Again, it's one of these paranormal mysteries, one of these paranormal ideas that has almost more grounds in science than it does the paranormal which i think is always gonna push us a little bit more on the side of believability now whether or not it is possible i think it's possible i think it's possible do i think any of these examples highlighted are an example of that possibility absolutely not wow absolutely crushing said bamford from uh torred i think that's just a

very romantic story isn't it like you really get into it it's just like oh it's beautiful it's such a cool idea a cool it's amazing it's one of those things i actually whenever i was researching it i think a lot of people felt the same thing i saw a lot of kind of articles forums and comment threads and people were sort of saying for the love of god is there any substantial evidence for this ever happening or is this just one of those tales it's just like chinese whispers keeps getting repeated i did see one commenter who claimed that his like granddad worked in haneda airport and knew of this tale and he recounted like what had happened to his colleagues and everything but again this is just like word of mouth exactly no idea so it's tough with that

one it's just it just reeks of being like such a perfect story yeah that's the problem with it but it's also so intricate and you know there's so many little details they're so alluring and like really make you want to believe it's a tough one as you said yourself you know in science when you break things down to like a subatomic level and even further you've got things is it a cork that essentially can be in two destinations at once can like teleport yeah surely schrodinger's cat and whatnot yeah all of this stuff is is mind-blowing there's not really an explanation behind it so who's to say much like one of these subatomic particles humans can intermittently jump from dimensions without even their knowledge of doing so hell maybe we've jumped several since sitting on this chair it could be i mean i've heard the theory that let's say you

know they talk about there's 11 dimension yeah you know it's like okay well we know the first three that's just like spiders beetles oh sorry what were you gonna say and then somewhere down the line there's like time right space yeah um we know what the first like four are but then it's like once you get into like five six seven it becomes let's say choice becomes like a dimension so whenever you make a choice in the day let's say you decide to you know eat a cereal for breakfast rather than an energy drink i'm looking at you rory god damn don't shame me like this that once you make that choice you've that's how maybe the universe works that you have passed into dimension in which that's what happened every moment you're just passing in and out of multiple dimensions making

choices all through the day so if we look at it as in there's a start and end, and we're moving through that timeline, there's essentially infinite threads of every possibility. And as we make those decisions, our universe then crosses along those threads as we progress. Wow. So maybe that's what that guy did. And he just, through some choice or like some freak incident,

he just jumped too many threads yeah just went like one way too far where that country didn't even exist madness and then that would explain why he wouldn't even know that he jumped in the first place and people say this podcast is just oh speculation and jokes and comedy this is some hard-hitting paranormal investigation we're doing here. This is a live show at a kindergarten. This is literally entertainment for children. This is broadcast in 52 countries and none of them speak English. But hell, if they don't admit that it's correct,

I brought rocks to bash them all. I'll take your dimensions they've only dreamed of. Spiders and Tupperware. I'm looking at you, Timmy, in front row. I'm two steps away of showing you some new Beatles tracks. I swear to God. Timmy's dad comes in, you're hovering over him with a giant brock. And a Beatles mixtape in the other hand.

It's real! Investigate! John Lennon never died! Where do you lie on it yeah i think as much as i uh criticized you i think these incidents i mean miss garcia is out of her damn mind no i think she that's why it's quite sad i think she borderline has dementia yeah i think something went wrong there for sure but uh yeah definitely i think there's i think there's space for this i think there's definitely a possibility this kind of thing could happen.

Could happen. Beyond our pay grade. Beyond our pay grade. It's on a need-to-know basis. Okay, well, you know, for lack of scientific hard evidence, I think I'm just going to have to come down the side of, yes, this is possible. That's an optimistic conclusion. I'm going to say it is possible as well. optimistic conclusion i'm gonna i'm gonna say it is

possible as well wow we are dumb as hell this is what i hate i hate that we can do these these huge podcasts where we really analyze all these specific encounters and you know these incredible possibilities in the paranormal world and then someone will tweet at me saying holy shit you said atlantis was real it's like oh i did didn't i it's your dad holy shit hashtag disowned hashtag investigate tag investigate you gotta listen to the whole episode get the con i'm sure the listeners are right here with us when we say this is possible yeah it's possible you just got to come on the journey you know coming with an open mind and uh just open yourself up to being a moron yeah just do it life's way more fun so i think that about wraps it up for the these tales of interdimensional travelers at least for
