All these questions you can find the answer to on This Paranormal Life. Hey, welcome everyone to the podcast, The Paranormal Podcast. It is a Tuesday and we are back again to deliver upon you a tale a chilling tale of investigating the paranormal my name is roy powers i'm a professional paranormal investigator and i'm joined by my co-host kit greer also a professional paranormal investigator

every every week you know i should let you talk so people know that i'm not just rambling to myself in this room kit was here but unfortunately he stepped out of line earlier today and I had to kill him before the podcast started. So I guess I'll be talking at length, not stopping, without interruption for the rest of this podcast. And we won't be investigating that. No one will be investigating his death. Have you been drinking holy water? Or unholy water? But no, that's an actual question. Huh? You've drunk holy water or unholy water but no that's an actual question huh you've drunk holy water

yeah you know that's not for drinking right that's for blessing things to make them holy and sacred bless my my little demon stomach i think it's like pretty dangerous i think that stuff's borderline rubbing alcohol do you know where the devil lives in your heart? Maybe in yours. Every week on this podcast, we investigate a brand new paranormal case beast tale and come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is true or false. This week, we have an email submission from one of our listeners called Speak of the Devil or the Angel. His name is Dustin Priest. Oh, shit.

Your Holiness, it is our pleasure to be able to tackle your suggestion this week on the podcast. Let's just dive right in. Please. Well, we've investigated paranormal locations before on the show, Kit.

The ghost of Bluebell Hill, the Bermuda Triangle, the road where that pair of ghost hands used to happy slap people or choke them to death. But what if I said, Kit, that I know of a place that was worse than all of them combined Welcome to Riverdale, Colorado

Holy shit, we're back in back in Colorado. It wasn't that long ago. We went to the Denver Airport, I seem to remember this is a paranormal place Jesus because now we're going to a little place known as the gates of hell Holy shite These are a set of old iron gates that you can find that leads you up the path towards a decrepit Burnt mansion Wow who built the mansion? Why did it burn down? Let's hashtag Investigate the mansion was built built we're getting straight into it it's gonna be a very short show actually it's mostly answering those two questions and then

conclusions the legend states that a long time ago a wealthy man named david walpert moved into the town following the gold rush it wasn't long before he decided to settle down with his wife and two kids all all good so far very wholesome chasing gold like a like average joe find a wife have some kids it really brings a new um meaning to the term gold digging woman right everyone was a gold digger back then literally gold they were all gold diggers yeah and you know he probably went there for the gold and then as soon as he settled down he was like turns out the gold i was searching for my whole life was a loving family now i get back to digging you little shits turns out this whole time i just wanted a couple kids of my own to dig for more gold because gold is the most important thing

you little shits can get in the tiny cracks that papa can't get in so to to i guess harvest all these little miners and you know build a shaft system okay to the gold he decided to build their own mansion oh he was also a handyman i guess so he was obviously pretty good at finding gold having bought or like built a mansion or he had so much free time because he was so bad at it that he had time to build a mansion wow you know you assume that building a mansion costs a lot of money yeah but actually if you just have a lot of wood and a lot of time anyone could do it and i think he's the kind of gold miner who's a bit like you know you see those writers where it's like yeah like i'm like working on a screenplay so what are you

doing today i'm gonna tidy my room put up some shelves go for a walk right it's like you're not gonna write a damn page it's like you don't even want to dig a hole i don't really like to force it i feel like if it's meant to be the gold will come to me like terrible terrible logic so he builds the mansion and he's got these two strong iron gates at the front that led up to the front doors now also among the grounds he's got uh big fields around so the kids can play beautiful and also family chicken coops for eggs nice meat very self-sufficient this is nice so they lived there happily for a while before after long the husband started acting strange appearing distant talking about voices in his head oh boy he would go down

to the chicken coop for hours and hours on end with no explanation as to why they understand me margaret not like you do they lost for gold just like i you and the kids barely even care about gold then one night while his family were asleep he walked outside and set the entire mansion on fire burning his whole family alive. Holy shit. The fire spread across the property, burning the fields, burning the house down. But after the blaze died down,

people realized that the chicken coop was basically untouched. What? And David disappeared into the night, never to be seen again. Into the chicken coop. To sleep for several hours. And David took flight in a Santa-esque sleigh led by chickens

screaming about gold on the moon. Kids are looking up at the night sky and they're like, Dad, is that Santa? Absolutely not. Go back inside, Junior.

Much like a werewolf, the only thing that can take him out is a silver bullet because he hates silver. Now, years later in 1994 colorado local charlie perez and a gang of his friends were messing around at night and they thought hey do you ever hear the story of that guy who went crazy and killed his family nice colorado accent i don't know what a color accent is. I feel like the colder it is, the more Canadian you get.

More Canadian? I'm not very good at Canadian accent either. Oh, we'll give it a shot. Yeah, I heard he would spend all day talking to demons in his chicken coop, eh? One thing led to another, and the guys decided they should go check out what was left on the site. You know, they're young teenagers. They're egging each other on yeah daring each other totally the things like teenagers dudes hey smoke this bro drink this yeah steal this shoot her anything like that shoot shoot shoot all that

yes like a teenage initiation you want to show off to your bros right what a badass you are you know like hey what do you say we like you know uh like tp the the the school principal's house yeah or like you know why don't we like rob this bank gunpoint like shit like that like and then egg them on the way out exactly yeah that was classic like i dare you to burn off your fingerprints bro so we don't get id'd for this i dare you i dare you to be the getaway driver in my next op. I dare you to put this sack on your head, dude. I bet you don't have the balls.

They walk into the bank and they're like, everyone, I dare you to get on your hands and goddamn knees. They got like a 12 gauge. I like the combination of really childish, but also really threatening. It's like, it's like, yeah, Jimmy, if you want to hang out at this arcade, you got to prove yourself. You got to kill. You got to kill whoever we say you got to kill. So they go to the site.

They go to the site to check it out. They drive down Riverdale Road to the gates of hell and walk towards the remains of the mansion. It was charred, black, a skeleton of what it used to be. A few dares were tossed around here and there, but no one wanted to go inside. That shit is too scary. Instead, they decide to head to the old chicken coops which they discovered had a strange architectural design there were five large round buildings all connected by some sort of dark tunnel system i mean this already i mean chicken coop should just be a small wooden shack like a shack yeah

five buildings is already far too much and then then once you get into tunnels... One building is too much. Yeah, I think you're probably right here. The doghouse was slightly disproportionate. It had a functioning helicopter pad. And each building had a cement pylon in the center, sort of like a pedestal. Charlie said as soon as they entered, they noticed what looked like demonic writing sprawled all over the walls. Whoa.

As they approached the center of the room, they noticed a pile of something resting on the cement pile-on. They were chickens! Piles of dead chickens! Wow. All with their heads cut off! Jesus, man. Charlie and his friends left immediately, but they would often return to the coop to investigate and see if anything else had changed. Charlie said, Often we found headless animals, mostly birds lying on the concrete pylons in the center of the building.

It always felt spooky there. Yeah, to say the least. What is going on at this property, Kit? It's a great question. Are there demons? Were there demons talking to the dad via the chickens? I don't want to lead you in any direct path, but let's just jump down the first one, the chicken demons.

I mean, I would like to know what was scrawled on the chicken coop. Was it like chickens will inherit the earth? Humans are pieces of shit. You know, was it that kind of thing? It was generic enough to be referred to as quote unquote demonic graffiti. Right. Which like, depending how posh these guys are, could have just been like an anarchy A. Or like down with the police, you know.

They're like, there was demonic writing on the walls yeah these these kids might have been very human genitalia you know that could be their demonic graffiti for all i know that's true these might have been sheltered kids exactly i guess if they're not freaked out by the decapitated chicken bodies they're probably it's probably pretty bad graffiti on the walls on the one hand this man's behavior he is kind of exhibiting demonic possession behavior behaving totally out of the ordinary his family did not recognize his behavior he became distant as if he wasn't himself anymore and then he carried out this brutal and random attack on his own family and home so definitely possession qualities going on there but then if it was the chickens that uh told him to do it why did he cut off all their

heads maybe maybe he came to he burned the chickens were like kill your family burn them down and you know that you have to stop stuttering i don't know what you're saying i can't stop i should have transformed into a goat yeah he's like any animal would have been better why not the goat it's got horns what we do know is that there has been some historical precedence for animals being possessed by demons. I don't know if you remember the biblical story where doesn't Jesus like drive out a demon from a man and the demon possesses pigs on a hill and then the pigs run into a lake and drown themselves? Wow. Yeah. That's in the Bible.

So it's 100% confirmed historical fact. Fact. And that does echo what we're seeing here, which is that the animals became possessed. We know that is possible. And then, in fact, those demons then killed their host, the pigs. Right. So in this case, maybe they pecked each other's heads off or they just you know they told this guy to chop their heads off oh right okay so they just went a bit in a bit insane yeah anything's on the cards here people we're early in this story we are anything

is possible now the interesting thing about this story is that david this madman who burnt his family alive wasn't the only paranormal case surrounding the riverdale road in colorado whoa this road has been well known for many different paranormal hauntings it is a goddamn demon's playground wow strong words and a demon's playground is not a fun playground to be on. No, no, no. It doesn't mean that there's going to be swings and slides. No. Quite the opposite.

There will be... It's like, you know, when you go down a slide that's been in the hot sun all day? Ooh. So you jump on it. It's like an aluminum slide. And it's burning your little kitty ass as you're flying down this lava slide. The swings are probably only, you know, they're really rusty, so they're creaking as they go. They're those, like, really, like, young kid ones, so they've got the holes in them,

but the holes are so tiny that your legs get stuck and you can't get out. There is so much stuff going on on this road. Let's start off with the coolest one. The coolest one first. Please. The entity known as the phantom camaro camaro yeah holy shit yeah so previously in the podcast we've had various different types of phantoms we've had phantom humans who've died children who've died become poltergeists we've had phantom bloody kangaroos now we actually have a phantom automobile much in

the style of brum that demon ass that's another story for another day yeah you ever heard of chitty chitty bang bang that thing was legit a demonic vehicle i swear to god like that movie was messed up do you remember that freaking child napper no the kitty wait i do i blocked that out of my memory oh god he got me it all comes back to you at once like flashback to me in victorian england a chimney sweep running about the streets yeah that little freak went around with that net remember catching kids so this is worse somehow than that yeah this is demon demon fang fang a car on the next level of the demonic branch shitty shitty bang bang was

pretty goddamn terrifying yeah but he only had 40 or 50 horsepower this thing can go not to 60 in 1.9 seconds people there's no engine does not overheat it runs on flames it runs on the cries of the innocent so the more you scream the faster it goes the horn is like the whales of the punished just like oh really quiet it's really ineffective actually if you're trying to get someone you know you're stuck in a traffic jam you're a demon on the 101 it it's a goddamn green light move asshole what the hell was that everyone gets out of the way immediately i also love that you have like the car from hell but you still have to like take the freeway commute somewhere so the phantom camaro uh one of the

reasons this road is held in such a spooky light is because the road has so many sharp corners that many drivers have been racing down the road only to flip off the track and die in a horrible car crash. Yeah, we're talking, you know, Danny from Grease style drivers here. Exactly. Guys that are barely paying attention. They're that cool. He's driving in the car. He's not even looking on the road.

He's looking in his rearview mirror, styling his hair. Yeah. But he's somehow kind of like splitting his eyes. So his focus is like on his hair yeah but he's somehow kind of like splitting his eyes so his focus is like on his hair cool but weird yeah very demonic actually his hair and then his like cheerleader girlfriend in the back seat danny can you slow down this is really dangerous shut the up babe i'm driving the car dann, your feet are on the dashboard. What's pressing the pedals? I put a brick on the pedals.

I just hope we don't hit a corner. As soon as he hit the first turn, his vehicle was thrown off the road, wrapping itself around a tree. He died instantly. Right. And now drivers have claimed that while their car is parked on Riverdale Road, another car will pull up alongside them. A Camaro, with only one working headlight. Good God.

If you see the car, it will honk the horn and rev the engine, trying to bait the drivers into racing with it. Jesus. But anyone who has raced with a phantom camaro has been killed in a horrific car accident how do we know that this happened if they die the cars who were in the accident crash at the exact same corner where the phantom camaro also maybe these daredevil drivers they're on the phone to their cheerleader girlfriends yeah do you know i was gonna be there in five babe but some hot shot down here wants to race me so i guess

i'll be a few minutes late it's just like the same dude racing another dude in a camaro this guy thinks this guy thinks he's better than me because he's got one more headlight than i do and he's got a 97 camaro instead of a 95 Camaro. I gotta beat his ass. I don't even know how he has the 96 Camaro because they decommissioned it after that asshole smashed into a tree. Thing was god damn beautiful and pristine. I don't know how he kept it in

such beautiful stock condition throughout all these years. Also how it is moving without the wheels rotating. It seems to be levitating. I didn't know they did that back then very cool shouldn't decommission that well they say it tries to bait drivers yeah into racing with it right presumably there's a bunch of drivers who are parked on the road and they see the phantom camaro and they're like oh my god it's it's the camaro like don't don't get baited into racing

with it let it just drive on but there is so much paranormal stuff going down on this road i i can't go through it all with the level of detail that i went through the phantom camaro understandable we're gonna have to blast through a couple of these bad boys please all right so let's just let's do a little reenactment here i'm gonna set the scene cool all right imagine uh you heard it's pretty spooky on the road on riverdale road so you decide to take a car yeah i don't i don't believe in ghosts yeah so you know that's it's a fun story yeah we'll see what happens oh i'll take a car that way i'll be safe yeah you know halfway down the road you know you're driving down the road you see a hitchhiker on the corner just like waving out to

you yeah no way jose no way well give him give him a second this thing's on higher purchase leather is brand new no one's getting in here especially not a stinky dirty uh hiker what if it was like an old woman and she you are you gonna turn around an old woman hello sir would you like to can i trust the accent no way is she is she hurt is she limping she's yeah very limping she's got two canes she's got two canes she's got two canes she'll survive how do i know that one of those canes isn't a james bond style blade hidden inside a cane uh she's got a zimmer frame then a whole zimmer frame she's like oh please i'll die if you don't let me in sir you're gonna turn you're gonna turn her down you son of a

bitch has a lot of time to uh to me. What if that was my grandmother? Oh, absolutely no way. What if that was Great Mrs. Powers on the side of the road? Huh? Great Mrs. Powers can talk goddamn ears off. There's no way I'm stopping to pick her up. You watch your fucking mouth. What do you say about her?

It was just a joke, bro. I know. Sometimes you say things too far. I've never met her, so it's just, you know, you knew it was a joke. I've never met her. it's just you know you knew it was joke i've never met her that's my great mother you're talking about right you're great what my great mother she's not grand she's great i think ground's probably better that's my good mother you're talking about you son of a bitch no wrong way so let's you turn you turn you pull over to put them in the car yeah you open the door and you're like oh i'm sorry ma'am is everything over boom

they're gone they were a ghost the whole time so you're freaking out all right the car you gotta run cars aren't good on this street this is ghost town yeah so you start bolting you're running down the street now panicking in the night what the was that was that probably a bird whatever it's a big ass forest all of a sudden you hear heartbeats in your head oh god beating again you smell toast i shouldn't have i shouldn't have had that double cheeseburger at that truck stop you turn around to see the spirit of the riverdale jogger bolting towards you what a jogger who died on the road years ago. There are ghosts on every corner of this street. So anything that dies on this road is doomed to return to the material world as a ghost or apparition.

I guess. There's phantom bugs crawling down the street. There's phantom bats flying through the forest. You know, a regular bat is scary enough. They don't need to be ghost bats there's ghost tumbleweeds yeah ghost bits of trash that people have thrown out of their car so you panic seeing this ghost jogger running towards you so you're like well i'll run them i'll just run even faster than this asshole so you start bolting down the street but the next

thing you know you weren't paying attention you're lost. You don't know where the hell you are. This is probably, I mean, Colorado is a massive place. You could be anywhere. So you look up at the street signs to try and find out where you are. Uh-oh, they're covered in blood. What? That's right. The demon boy of Riverdale leaves bloody handprints all over the street signs of the road.

More! There's more on top of this! Now you're lost, scared, and you've probably pissed yourself. But you can hear a friendly squeaking behind you. Fantastic! At least some sort of red-tailed squirrel that can comfort me in my time of need. Exactly! You turn around, you see the little squirrel, and you're like, oh thank God it's only a little, little tiny ass Exactly. You turn around, you see the little squirrel, and you're like, oh, thank God it's only a little tiny-ass squirrel. You're pinching his little cheeks. You're like, oh, little squirrel. Oh,

do squirrels always have these little demon eyes? Oh, f***. It's actually the shape-shifting spirits of the Native American ghosts that haunt the road. Oh my Christ. There are ghosts pouring out the w that haunt the road. Oh my Christ. There are ghosts pouring out the wazoo of this road.

This is insane. It seems so improbable that so much of the country seems to have absolutely no ghosts, but yet Riverdale Road has absolutely overflowing number of ghosts. Could this possibly be something to do linked to the destruction of the mansion? The demonic voices heard at the chicken coop? What if all these spirits are remaining on this world because they refuse to enter the gates of hell? Maybe, yeah, just in the same way that some sort of natural disaster like an earthquake can set off a chain reaction of other natural events.

Tsunamis and busted nuclear reactors and it causes this total disaster just caused by one small thing and maybe that the demon possession of this house and subsequent burning down at the gates of hell has set off a chain reaction that cracked open the ground itself and demons poured out of hell. And now they're just doomed to walk this demonic-ass rainbow road where cars are just flying off the edges, turtles and bananas just being thrown in every direction. Blue shell after blue shell.

You can't drive 10 yards without a goddamn blue shell. Not a star in sight. So that concludes our investigation into this road, Riverdale Road in Colorado, a.k.a. the gates of hell. What are your thoughts, Kit? Jesus, this seems incredibly overwhelming. It's a sort of rollercoaster ride of paranormal happenings. Like I said, I think one of the difficulties to overcome with this investigation

is to try and explain why there is such a proliferation of paranormal activity in this one spot and why this is centered on Riverdale Road. What could the reasons be? As you mentioned, it could be connected back to the mansion itself. And that definitely seems like one of the more sinister happenings that may have caused this. It's also the one that we have as historical record. I mean, the house is there. You can go visit it. That is something dark that genuinely happened.

Chickens are dead. I do wonder, you know, you mentioned the Native American spirits, shape-shifting spirits that haunt the road. I know that is something that sometimes comes up in paranormal stories, that Native Americans were kind of concerned with lands and sacred lands and that lands had meaning and that the land reflected all the people who had gone before it right could it be that this particular area it happens to be a road today but maybe long ago it was you know maybe the site of some

horrible battle and many thousands of people died or something like that it's like you know if you if you build a mcdonald's on an indian graveyard right you are gonna have some haunted ass burgers yeah you're doomed to bad tasting big macs all day long at night ronald mcdonald will come to life and just run around the store like ransacking all the cash machines and stuff there is hot chips flying into people's faces ronald's stealing from the cash register like we know you're not dead yet so this isn't part of it also why are you teaming up with a Hamburglar? Aren't you supposed to be enemies? Also, he doesn't seem to want the burgers.

He's going for the cash registers as well. Hamburglar beats you in the shin with a crowbar. Oh, God. What was that little purple one called again? There's like Ronald McDonald, the Hamburglar, and then some little f some little madman called like oh we gotta find out grimpert or globert or something grimace grimace holy shit i just imagine like you know ronald mcdonald is holding your arms back the hamburglar's

punching you grimace is like want to know how i got these scars the hamburglar is just like at the start of the predator movie just like taking fistfuls of cocaine and stuffing them into his face and screaming get ready for an unhappy meal i don't want to freak you out right now, but the Hamburglar's initial name before it was changed was the Lone Jogger. You're taking the piss. I'm not. Oh my God. Holy shit. Originally, he had a menacing black mask and cape, but McDonald's decided to soften his personality for children and took off the mask and called him mcdonald's decided to soften his his uh personality for children and

took off the mask and called him the hamburglar instead got rid of the gun as well there's a whole lot of cat this may not make can we raffle through rifle through some oh i would love to yeah so we've got of course ronald mcdonald pretty terrifying original doll jesus christ huge hair yeah there's actually officer big mac all right people listening you know this is they were very lazy in the creation of this one because there's a little creativity behind like ronald the clown yeah grimace you know this this blobby character in the hamburglar this is a hamburger with a hat on it's just a policeman yeah with the head of a giant hamburger yeah uh moving on to captain crook aka the captain all right based on captain hook from peter pan so apparently he's a seafaring villain obsessed with stealing

philato fish sandwiches oh right because it's seafood and he's he's a seafarer he's just a pirate really so there's a lot of theft going on baked into the lore of mcdonald's so here's grimace just like you remember him a big purple blob i don't really remember what he is or does he really didn't change over the years i would say apparently he's an adversary of ronald mcdonald's got the hamburglar of course. We've got the Professor. I can see why these guys didn't stick around. That is insane. Which side is he on?

Originally known as the Mad Professor. They really had to, they really introduced these characters and then immediately had to tone them down. Apparently introduced in the early 70s, he appeared in ads and spoke with a zany, high-pitched, excitable academic tone about his latest device, usually some sort of technological device to preserve the well-being of the good citizens of McDonaldland. Oh, we also got Mayor McCheese. They really get, they've given up. No point, no point getting into this one really no you know what he

is you know what he's a hamburger a cheeseburger specifically the next next chapter in this page is called the lawsuits i assume it's introducing every character again and the many many lawsuits that followed the first line of this paragraph is it didn't take long for mcdonald land to come under attack wait is this the lore or in terms of lawsuit these are real world lawsuits oh so it's not like mayor mccheese was accepting bribes from the McMafia. Well, look, we got something out of that. We found out that the Hamburger was originally called the Lone Jogger. The same name as the Lone Jogger of Riverdale Road. I didn't know that joggers could be terrifying, but here we are.

So there's a lot of possibilities as to why this place could be haunted. Indian burial grounds, the gates of hell, demons stalking the fields it's an interesting story it's kind of similar to when we looked at stardust ranch right we're looking at one location right that has so much paranormal stuff going on everything's going down that it's something to do with the place itself rather than just one activity yeah unfortunately that makes it very hard to nail down evidence, testimonies, really anything. But I'm going to throw it to you first, Kit. You've heard a lot about Riverdale Road

and these legends that I've told you about. Where's your mind headed? I think with this case, we have a kind of, rather than a kind of pinpointed, detailed story about one paranormal incidence, as we're discussing, we've got a kind of shotgun blast of kind of vague paranormal stories. I think if we had concrete evidence of at least one of these, this is kind of like building a case of prosecution. You know, sometimes a criminal's done a lot of things. Yeah. a case of prosecution you know sometimes a criminal's done a lot of things yeah but they're like listen forget about some of those bigger cases if we can just nail him on one offense

right then he'll go down for like a long enough time and that's what you should do it's like the hamburglar he did so much bad stuff the murders the thefts yeah but they were like look we know he stole the hamburgers he steals hamburgers every goddamn day let's just get him with the hamburger thing and and we got him for all of it yeah and they and that now he's known at like we're never going to get him on the on the money laundering the the larceny you know all of those things yes they don't call him the murder burglar i mean they should because he did actually absolutely he did a lot more killing than i he like he took a burger one time yeah but it was just on cctv right right right he was actually shanking the cashier at the time but it was slightly out of

frame yeah so they couldn't get him on that but they got him on the burger in mcdonald land it was very much an oj simpson kind of um very public case yeah everyone knows he did all those awful things but they had to put him away uh on the on the burger they thought they could get away with it because they found a glove at the scene and they were like, if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit. Glove was f***ing massive. The dude's got giant hands.

It's like three times the size of a human hand. It fit perfectly. There was no one else in McDonaldland that could have possibly fit. Because it's a cartoon universe, no one has even a change of clothes. Everyone wears the same thing every day. Everyone had their gloves.

He's the only one without a glove. That's a weird thing. Why is it? I feel like in Disney Universe, everyone wears gloves too. Yeah, like Mickey Mouse, gloves. No Prince, baby. They can do whatever the f*** they want. You're never going to frame me, huh?

No Prince, chief. Minnie's a good girl. She'll never talk. One of these days, you mousy prick. One of these days, you're going to slip up. You're going to take off those gloves and I'm going to bring you down. No chance, you pig prick. You're going to tell me, chief?

You're going to be a rat? You are a mouse. You are literally a mouse. Who's most likely to squeal in the Disney universe? The pig, right? Do you think? What's his name? The one that goes, that's all, folks.

Yeah. They think he's going to squeal. Do you see anything? I didn't see a fucking thing. Shit! We spent months pulling him in. Well, there's Piglet, for one. I think Piglet is going to squeal.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Piglet's a little bitch. Winnie is an OG. Winnie would gonna squeal. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Piglet's a little bitch. Winnie is an OG. Winnie would never squeal. Porky Pig. He's squealing. You don't even have to come to him. He comes in to confess.

Yeah, he comes in. He's inside the untouchable criminal empire. Whenever you're watching the movie you're like are they ever gonna touch him they've covered every track they've got everyone paid off but porky pig he can't stand the pressure he's the one guy can't stand it exactly he's like i i i saw mickey in the car park at 3 a.m chief even the policemen are looking down on them they're like you broke the law of the street like you pig you really are a pig you broke the law of the street why would when a criminal comes in to confess that i know who did the murder get out get out you broke the goddamn law of the

street walking in here you know you know that mickey's got man on the inside man in the nypd boys in blue exactly they're all mice as well they're only mice in in the uniform they're all cut and shy and white gloves like someone some of the mice in here are a mole way too way too many animals again we've gone far. Everyone's looking about to see who it could be. The one, like, mouse in the room's like, I think it's Jerry. I don't trust Irishmen. Yeah, I think it might be Jerry too.

Oh, God. Kind of off topic there. Wow. Towards the conclusion to love the streets. So, so it's a yes? Is what you're saying? Is that what we were edging? um so so it's a yes is what you're saying is that what we were edging i think if we were able to pin this road on just one paranormal offense we would have a strong case unfortunately we've not been

able to do that we've got some pretty scant evidence and to me just on you know first pass with this episode it kind of reeks of one of these paranormal tales where it becomes so much part of the dna of that time and everyone repeats it to themselves yeah that everyone's looking out for it everyone's driving down that road waiting for what's going to go wrong everyone's out competing each other with their different ghost stories suddenly something's kind of small happens to them and they kind of replay it over and over in their heads knowing it's a haunted street yeah that things kind of get out of hand and that's why if i'm to come down in a hard and fast conclusion like we always have to do in this show i think for now i'm gonna have to err on the side of this being a no

today that's fair that's very fair you know i i looked into specifically uh the case that had the most concrete evidence which of course was david walpert and the mansion his family being burned alive the chicken coops yeah because all these things exist the chicken coops exist you can actually go visit them more than fair the remains of the mansion i believe are still there so i did a little more research on david walpert and he existed as well yeah you can actually go visit his tombstone in colorado which leads to a problem david has a tombstone so he didn't run off into the night and disappear oh i never thought about that he died and someone buried him yeah there was no mention of burning a family alive uh in fact when i actually managed to track down his family

tree it looks like his family went on to branch downwards into oh so this isn't even it looks like history books i believe the mansion did exist yeah maybe it was owned by david walpert maybe it wasn't i believe it did burn down uh but obviously you know a new generation are being raised up with this burnt mansion on a hilltop it was very dramatized it was a chip pan fire they got out safe yeah everyone was fine uh so unfortunately um without any concrete evidence this week for me it's also gonna be a no wow but what a ride what a ride we learned a little bit more about riverdale road in colorado we learned a little bit more about the cast of the McDonald's family. I had a great time.

please bring them we're so hungry thank you also to sand Cosfeld. Sandra, what's your pitching arm like? Because we're short one pitcher for the Paranormal Baseball League. That's right. Every Sunday, we're down at the park starving our little asses off. Come along with your bat, your glove, a ball. We don't have any of that either. And then bring some food. Doesn't even have to be baseball themed.

If it's hot dogs, great. Fine, that's themed as well. Anything else, any snacks or anything you have in your house, come along and play ball. Thank you too. Naomi McCarthy. Score! Naomi, there's a ball coming right at you.

Caught. Runner coming home. Don't throw the ball. run it in with some snacks! Anything! Cheetos! Twinkies! Apples! We'll take every- Canned food!

Naomi, I can't be clearer, we're hungry as hell! Feel free to bring along, you know, fresh stuff, sure we can do that in the day, but also tinned goods, stuff that won't go off. Exactly. Ideally. Stuff that will last for a long time if you need to make room you know in the car the glove the bat leave all the baseball crap out of it this is you know this is actually more of a canned food drive thank you there will be jerseys though so if you bring 10 pounds you can buy a this paranormal life baseball jersey

that's right thank you also to brendan ward if i ever have to go to hospital make sure they put me in the brendan ward the most trustworthy and expensive ward in any hospital because brendan who i assume is a billionaire donated some money to the patreon and then set up a goddamn ward in a hospital wow i'm actually just reading online about the brendan ward it actually has some of the worst statistics um for for wards globally really i didn't know there was a people actually go in to visit their loved ones in that ward and die before the people who are in hospital it's insane they get very very ill it says they put a lot of money into a gold full-size statue of Brendan to commemorate the opening of the ward. Right.

Nothing into hospital supplies. That sounds actually a lot like the Brendan I remember. One ward over. Put me one ward over, please. Thank you to Christina Wilson. Christina the little devil Wilson. She will sin often and frequently because that's what her heart drives her to do.

She's one of the people that would show up in a ghost Camaro and try and egg on all the racers using that ghost horn. Thank you also to Emma Emerson. Emma, we've got a dilemma for you. We're starving over here. Thank you for contributing. But for various legal reasons, we cannot convert the Patreon support to food.

No. So I just want to be clear on that. That's why we're in the position we're in. So anything you can do to provide stuff at the Sunday baseball meet meetup the can drive can drive there's very little baseball involved to be honest with you that would be great but thank you for the support also yeah don't bring that cheap stuff either bring the goods people gave money to be like it's so nice to hear them give support and it's just us be like
