Welcome to the Campfire, short tales of paranormal mystery that live in the space between Tuesday cases. Rory, how the hell are you doing? What are we doing here? Wow, very exciting to be coming at our listeners on a Thursday. This is insane. For years, this paranormal life has only been coming to you, really, on a Tuesday, for seven years, in fact. But this is all new, how exciting. What you're listening to is a limited series, dropping all of October. So every Thursday, we're giving you a new mini episode

of this paranormal life, absolutely free to everybody, the whole community. And the final episode will be dropping on Halloween, October 31st. We are so excited for spooky season that we wanted to go all out. So just like the early days of this paranormal life, we are dropping two episodes a week now. Now we have our Thursday cases where you join us at the campfire for shorter, spooky paranormal mysteries. So grab the marshmallows, grab a bottle of Jack Daniels, a bottle of Jim Beam, a bottle of Woodford Reserve for sure, then a couple Johnny Walker

Black labels. Too much whiskey. We're going to need those to douse the marshmallows in and take a seat round the fire brother. Did you pack any food? It's a liquid brunch for sure. And we are starting with a bang because todayory, we are talking about David Bowie. Someone I feel like we should have already talked about a lot on the podcast before, right? Yeah, a guy this weird and interesting, he should have come up on the podcast before. Like there has to be at least one conspiracy theory out there that David Bowie was actually

an alien. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's the thing we found at Roswell. Oh shit, what year was he born? Oh my god, what have we uncovered? David Bowie, born 1947, the Roswell incident, 1947. What the f***? Are you shitting with me right now? Just end the episode. End it now. We did it. Oh my god. Holy crap. Ladies and gentlemen, what have we stumbled across?

Because what I was in the middle of saying was, if you aren't familiar with Bowie, he constantly reinvented himself throughout his career. But at one point, he started calling himself Ziggy Stardust and said that he was a pop star from space. Yeah, at one point, he was one of the biggest musicians in the world. At another point, he crashed into a desert in New Mexico

at 300 miles per hour. Yeah, they all said it was a drunk driving incident. But before he was called Ziggy Stardust, he called himself Weather Balloon which is odd. What if he was telling the truth that whole time? Well Rory that is a little bit of a bombshell for us to start off today's episode and we should touch on that later but for now suffice it to say that David Bowie was a pretty interesting guy and in amongst a life of very strange experiences there is actually one that

really stands out as a paranormal unsolved case. You see Rory at various stages in David Bowie's career he dropped hints whether it was in lyrics or interviews that he meddled with the occult. Oooh, okay. I mean, that's kind of something that if you meddle with, you don't drop clues. Right. Like if you're in the Stonemasons or the Illuminati, that's kind of rule number one. Don't write a f***ing number one single about it. Yeah, but now that I think about it, I've never been in a secret organization before. Maybe as soon as you're in, that's exactly what you want to do.

It's so hard to keep that secret bundled up. Bowie waltzes into one of the Illuminati meetings and they're like, Bowie, are you being serious? What? What did I do? You wrote your latest song? Your latest song? Do we have to read out the lyrics to you? He's like, you told them about the sacrificing babies.

He's like, no, I, I, I sung, to you. He's like, you told him about the sacrifice in babies. He's like, no, I, I, I sung back refice in Savi's. It's like, it's like a little, no one's going to know what I was talking about. No one's going to know that we sacrifice babies here at the Illuminati. It's just a metaphor for like, you know, when I say that I'm part of a secret organization that worships the dark Lord, it's kind of just like my emotions, you know? That's how I feel inside. I'm so torn apart. They're like, in the second verse,

you just read the address to our headquarters from the Google Maps pin. One, nine, two, three, West's, on a drive. No, he was a subtle guy. Visitors to his house might notice that there was a book sitting on his coffee table called Psychic Self-Defence, and his friends knew from late-night conversations with him that at times he'd become obsessed with fringe mystical ideas like sacred geometry,

the idea that complex mathematical shapes in nature and physics are proof of some kind of divine power in the universe controlling things. Alright, so he wasn't so subtle. Because he has a book about Mind Karate on his shelf. They actually would have sold a lot more copies if they called it Mind Karate. I am very sympathetic to getting a kind of ADHD obsession over sacred geometry. I don't know if you've ever looked at any kind of so-called sacred geometric patterns, Rory, but you know the way you see these nuts pictures of like plants that grow in these like insanely psychedelic geometric patterns? Right. Yeah. Is that what it is? Yeah, stuff like that,

like geometric patterns in nature. Some people believe that that is proof of some kind of higher intelligence, some organizing principle of the universe. I like seeing the geometric patterns of the stars and the planets. That's what gets me hard, looking at how planets orbit each other and

the pattern in which that takes, you know, because of the gravitational pulls of the universe creating these incredible designs. That's some cool stuff. You know what gets me hard is the interplay of geometry of one pringle on top of the other. I regret using that term. And I don't like it. That's sacred geometry as far as I'm concerned. How a pringle perfectly top of the other. I regret using that term, and I don't like it. That's sacred geometry as far as I'm concerned. How a pringle perfectly fits the human tongue. I don't think it's just designing a crisp.

It's not really that ancient or sacred. I'm pretty sure pringles are pretty interesting shape. Don't Google pringles. We have such a small amount of time to cover something genuinely interesting. Oh yeah, pringles are known as hyperbolic paraboloids. So there you go. Next time you're eating a can of Pringles, you're basically doing maths.

But you're right, Rory, this wasn't really all that subtle. It kind of went beyond flirting with the paranormal and mysterious. He began studying the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Alistair Crowley's magic organization. Have you heard of these people? I believe we talked about this on the podcast before, but I think it was one of your episodes because I don't remember anything. Thank you for your honesty. If I'm being completely honest, a lot of it's left my head too. It is, it has come up on podcasts before.

It is kind of wild though, we haven't done just a full episode on them, because the Hermetic Order is pretty much one of the most important chapters in the modern history of magic and paranormal beliefs. Crowley was hugely, hugely influential and it seems that Bowie was one of his followers. On the one hand, to give you a sense of what they were up to, on the one hand there was a kind of rigorous intellectual side to this magic they were conducting over at the Hermetic Order, but it was also very chaotic. Crowley kind of notoriously would perform rituals involving drugs and quote

sex magic, trying things like achieving the state of erotic comatose lucidity. You know what gets me hard? Sex magic. Yeah, no shit. I'm back in. Put aside this mind karate, I want to hear more about the sex magic. Yeah, I mean, let's give the guy some credit. I mean, in this modern age, 2024, like there's a reason why kids

are straight edge now, right? Because the world is so insane that kids are joining Alcoholics Anonymous at 15 years old because they just want to, they just want to have normal lives in an insane world where they are getting

stimulated by everything all the time. David Bowie instead lived in the 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. There was jack shit going on. So if you see a book called Mind Karate and Sex Magic in your local library, I think you're going to pick it up for your coffee table. Yeah. Oh, a hundred percent. And I'm going to be, I'll warn you now, Miss Librarian, I ain't returning the books. The state they're gonna get returned in, you won't want them anyway. And if you try and take them off me, I'm gonna chop you with my mind. She hits the floor. But you still say it out loud for some reason, karate chop!

To be fair, do you remember those great videos in the early internet? You know like that beautiful period of the early internet where liars hadn't been exposed yet by the internet? And there were just like videos of like kind of so-called martial arts masters like disarming people using their mind? No, never saw this. Don't know how you saw it. I guarantee you've seen this.

It'll be like a grainy video from 2004 of like the master of a dojo. He's just standing arms folded in the middle of a room while all the students run at him with sticks and shit. And then as they run towards him with a stick, he just like waves his hand and they like fly across the room. This is Kit's way of admitting that in the early 2000s, he signed up for several different mind karate online training courses.

So needless to say, Bowie was pretty out there, but his belief system would soon become rattled by something very close to home. He was in the middle of buying a new home with his wife Angie. They were looking for something in the Beverly Hills area. They couldn't decide between two homes. First there was 637 North Doughtonay Drive. Great location but a little small so it probably wouldn't work out in the long term. On the other hand, they found a complete gem nearby, an art deco mansion on six acres of land,

and they couldn't believe the price tag. Only $300,000? It was a steal and it didn't really make sense. So they went to see it and it was almost perfect. Almost their dream home. But Rory, me and you used to house hunt for flats in London years ago and it doesn't take a genius or me or you to know that usually if the price is looking a little too good on Zoopla.co.uk, there's a reason. Yes, that is true. I remember one place we went to,

which seemed remarkably affordable for what I think was a four bedroom apartment. When we went to check it out, it stank of smoke, had holes in the wall, and whoever the last tenant was, it looked like on the way out had scribbled a bunch of Chinese symbols on the walls with marker pen Oh, I remember that one. Yeah. Yeah It was one of those where you go to the estate agent and then on the day they're like, here's the keys By the way, they trashed the place. Oh, they trashed it

It's like what we could probably want to come and see it then. We could barely get in because we had to push the door through all the piled up posts. Hundreds of letters of overdue bills. And then the extra f**ked up part is we tried to get it and they said no. They wouldn't even let us have it! Our little Chinese crack den. If something doesn't sum up the London rental market like that, I don't know what does. Yeah, this place is a shithole. We'll take it. No. Great.

Thanks for the time. Yeah, we'll pay double. There's always a reason, guys. Even in Beverly Hills. While touring the house, they came across one room that was a bit odd. A completely circular room in the middle of the house. But we felt something was off. Just then, Angie spotted something.

David, what is that? She said. She kicked aside the corner of a rug on the ground, revealing a marking on the floor. They pulled it aside further. It wasn't just one marking, it was an entire hexagram painted on the floor. This room had been used for magic rituals. Oooh. After David saw this, he spiraled. He had to be talked off the ledge by his wife and many friends, After David saw this, he spiraled.

He had to be talked off the ledge by his wife and many friends, because at this point in time, David was already convinced that he was being followed by dark forces. Is this well documented? Where are we getting this information from? He wasn't reading the book Psychic Self-Defense for f***ing fun. He felt like he needed mind karate. Okay. Yeah, he was going through a little bit of a weird time in his life. I'm glad you asked though, Rory,

poke at some holes in this because it does seem a little strange, but we've talked about this kind of thing before that you also have to remember the time and place and context of what was happening. Kamala Harris voice, David Boy didn't just fall out of a coconut tree yesterday. Right.

It's been pointed out that at this point in time in Beverly Hills, the Charles Manson murders had just happened pretty close by. This is some once upon a time in Hollywood shit. I don't know if it was quite satanic panic right at this moment, but there was a lot of fretting and worrying about serial killers, about dark magic, and all kinds of alternative thought. So you might have expected this. David and Angie did not buy that house.

Instead, they bought 637 North Doughtonny Drive. But whether Bowie was right about being followed or not, it wouldn't be plain sailing at his new address either. And she would later say, David liked the place but I thought it was too small and I wasn't crazy about the pool. In my experience, indoor pools are always a problem. She wasn't wrong, but it wasn't the kind of problem she was expecting. After they lived in Doheny Drive for a while, Bowie realized that Satan lived in their swimming pool. The devil lived in their swimming pool. What are you talking about? And it wasn't helped by the fact that at this moment in time, in Bowie's life, the

only thing Bowie liked doing more than writing timeless bangers was staying up all night doing coke. So she kind of thought it was possible he didn't really know what he was seeing. Yeah I'm gonna assume it's the cocaine. If you're telling me that the devil's in your swimming pool and I ask okay well what else have you done today and the other thing you did was not sleep for three days and do ridiculous amounts of class-A drugs. Yeah I'm gonna assume it's the drugs. Rory, Rory, it was the year that was in it. Hey, am I gonna go to Rome

and not eat garlic bread? Is David Bowie gonna live in 1974 and not do two kgs of Rockstar Coke every night? And hang out with the devil himself in the pool? You're alright, Satan. Can I get another bump?

No, Bowie said. I saw him with my own eyes. I saw him rise out of the water I mean he famously rises from fire the opposite of water so This story really makes sense. We need an exorcist, he said. So? Or at least a lifeguard. And she found a priest to do it. One from the local Greek Orthodox Church. But Bowie said, no.

No strangers allowed. The f*** you talking about? What? It has to be someone we know. Why? Someone I know. Oh, I could put up with this. I'm leaving.

Rory couldn't be married to David Bowie. I'm going back to Ohio, wherever I'm from. I'm done. Angie was not his last wife. I will agree. I don't know who divorced who, but they did break up. Bowie said, we'll get Wally Elm Lark. She's a white witch. She can do it. So Bowie's friend Wally came round, and now I'm just picturing Pixar's Wally.

They surrounded the place with magical books and occult objects to help the ritual. Now thankfully, you said before Rory, where are we getting these sources from? Because this is pretty wild accusations. Thankfully Angie wrote a book about Bowie and their marriage so we know exactly what happened in her words. She wrote. There David was primed and ready. The proper books and doodads were arranged on a big old-fashioned lectern. The incantation began, and although I had no idea what was being said or what language it was being said in, I couldn't stop a weird cold feeling rising up in me as David droned on and on. She continued,

There's no easy or elegant way to say this, so I'll just say it straight. At a certain point in the ritual, the pool began to bubble. It bubbled vigorously. Maybe thrashed is a better term. She also said, I know what you're thinking, this wasn't a jacuzzi. Crucially, this was absolutely inconsistent with how air jets or anything like that would work The pool began to bubble and get hot hot hot hot It was a hot tub. The devil must be in this bitch because it's hotter than hell down here An evangelical Christian using a hot tub for the first time. This is Satan's bathtub hot tub for the first time. This is Satan's bathtub! I mean, okay, this is insane on so many levels. I don't know who they got involved or why they think this is

the way to get rid of the devil or why the devil would be in a swimming pool in Hollywood. I mean, it seems like they missed the easiest option, which is get a priest to turn the swimming pool into holy water. Ooh, I like that. Right? Because I think to create holy water, I don't remember how you do it, but I think you just bless it. Say a little prayer, touch the water, whatever. Any water can become holy, I believe. So... Well, is that true? Otherwise, I feel like Christians in like the year 1000 would have just blessed

all the oceans and been like, there are ours now. We got them. The Atlantic blessed, Pacific blessed. Oh, Indian ocean. We're going to bless that next week. Uh, well, I think that would kind of diminish the value of holy water. You need, you need a scarcity. You need people to come to church to talk up.

Hey, I can see your third eye is open, brother, because that's a conspiracy I can get on board with. Right. You're saying I need a priest to bless this water and I can't bless it myself. Do you see how fucked up that is? It is. You know, I take from this that them getting

a Greek Orthodox priest to do this tells me that that might not have been the first priest they called. You know, Greek Orthodox, they have a big presence in America. They're not they have a big presence in America. They're not the biggest presence of churches in America out of all the churches. That sounds like to me, a Catholic priest, a Presbyterian priest, a Jewish rabbi, a Muslim cleric, they all passed on exercising in the house and that the Greek Orthodox church were like, yeah, we'll do it.

Yeah. So, uh, I don't know how they do things in the Greek Orthodox tradition, but clearly this was not on the menu of options for exorcism. Right, right, right. Angie tried to keep cool saying, well dear, aren't you clever? Seems to be working, don't you think? But she says, I couldn't keep it up. It became too strange. I was having trouble accepting what my eyes were seeing.

How much cocaine had Angie done at this point? Classified. Uh, Bowie and Angie, we don't know. We don't know. Of course, well, she wrote the book, so she's like, hey, I was a perfect angel. Bowie and Angie might've hoped that this little exorcism worked completely

and that they were safe, but the truth is they were probably never quite sure. But we never used the pool again. And Angie said that she would regularly look through the glass doors to the pool and would see something disturbing. She said, quote, "...on the bottom of the pool was a large shadow or stain which had not been there before the ritual began. It was in the shape of a beast of the underworld. It reminded me of one of those twisted tormented gargoyles screaming silently from the spires of medieval cathedrals. It was ugly, shocking, malevolent, and it frightened me.

Oh lord, that pentagram house ain't looking too bad anymore, is it? Hahahaha! Oh lord, that pentagram house ain's gonna be a problem, you know? There's either gonna be a pentagram on the floor, the devil's in the swimming pool, or the chupacabras in your toilet, for Christ's sake. There are just monsters hiding in every corner of that part of the world. Yeah, the real estate agent has hooves poking out

from underneath his suit trousers, and he's like, you can have the devil's house, Jeffrey Epstein's old condo, or the black witch of West LA's old apartment. Which do you want? Dealer's choice. She said, I backed away, feeling very strange, went through the doorway and told David what I'd seen.

He turned white, but eventually got it together enough to spend the rest of the night doing cocaine. He turned white specifically, right around his nose. That's literally, that's not even my words, that's her words. He spent the rest of the night, he was so rattled, he spent the rest of the night staying up doing cocaine. Don't sin. Don't hear the devil is there and then take drugs. That's a bad thing to do.

I've said it before, I'll say it again in this podcast. I don't think Jesus said taking drugs was wrong. Yeah, that's true. Well, I think probably, yeah, I don't know. Did he ever try it? This is the worst Bible studies podcast ever. Is drugs wrong? Might be fine, honestly. I think, you know, if we're referencing the Ten Commandments,

there's probably a few of those that I would say indicate it's not a good idea to consume gluttonous amounts of mind-altering substances. They didn't have Afghan Kush back then. They didn't have Rockstar Coke. They didn't know how much of a good time you could have. Jesus, I don't think he probably would have done cocaine. I definitely think he would have smoked weed. For sure. For sure. That guy blazed. Ready for the wildest Google search of the day? Burning bush? I know what that means. More like burning kush. Did they smoke weed in the Bible? Yo, this is a top search. Okay, what did it say? Come on. It says no, obviously.

The top core response is no, him nor his disciples ever smoked weed. You're telling me these m*****s sat around in a circle passing bread to each other? Loaves of bread? Come on. You're telling me they didn't have the munchies? Yo, the Guardian, before people jump down our throats and get angry at us, theguardian.com, a reputable website, 2003, January 6th,

Jesus healed using cannabis. Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal qualities of the drug according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. Okay, I'm going to have to do some little extracurricular research on that one and I'm definitely going to be emailing that to my mom and that's going to be blowing her mind about some of the stuff that she thinks went wrong in my adolescence that actually I was just being a good Christian it turns out.

Yeah, following in his footsteps. Getting back to David and Angie and their strange experience, Angie went on, I still don't know what to think about that night. It runs directly counter to my pragmatism and my everyday faith in the integrity of the normal world and it confuses me greatly. What troubles me the most is that if you were to call that stain the mark of Satan, I don't know how I could argue with you.

David of course insisted we move from the house as quickly as possible, and we did, but I've heard from reliable sources including Michael Lippman, our real estate agent, that the next owners haven't been able to remove the shadow since. Even though the pool has been painted over a couple of times, the shadow has always come back. Wow. Um, I will give it to her. They were definitely partying hard in the 70s.

But I will give it to her. That last, um, speech. That is exactly what I would say. That hits me because that's what I would say if I experienced something nuts. She's like, I believe in the normal world. I believe in pragmatism. I believe in things having normal explanations. And this is just paranormal experience 101.

She's like, yeah, and then it happens to you and you don't know what to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We see it all the time in UFO cases or cryptid cases where very normal people see something abnormal. And they're like, hey, if it wasn't for this one thing, which I did see, I wouldn't believe me either. I wouldn't have believed anyone that had this experience, but now I am the person that it's happened to. Which, I can say either of us have had that moment or a similar moment in our lives that push us completely over the line.

It seems like she did a pretty good job of accepting it and still continuing to live a normal life. Like they just kind of moved. That's a smart way to deal with it. Not become even more obsessed, try and burn the house down or something dramatic like that. They certainly did move on with their lives, didn't let it ruin their lives, which brings

me to kind of just David Bowie's view of the paranormal in general. It is clear that this guy was highly, highly, highly sympathetic to the paranormal and interested in it. I didn't know this until researching this, but he actually worked for a UFO magazine at one point. What? And I believe did he work at this observatory with these guys who ran this UFO magazine? But he said this in an interview with Cream magazine. He said I used to work for these two guys who put out this UFO magazine and he said about six years ago, I made UFO sightings six or seven times a night for a year when I was at that observatory with them.

Okay, so he's even more into the paranormal than you let on at the beginning. He worked, he was a ufologist. Isn't that cool though? Like David Bowie is, I mean, God rest his soul, is one of the most important influential and wild musicians of all his soul, is one of the most important, influential, and wild musicians of all time. He was one of us. Yes. Hey, I will say this is cool.

Unfortunately, also does question credibility a little bit where this wasn't something paranormal or mystical happening to a reasonably normal person. This is someone who spent a year plus of his life looking at the sky, claiming to have seen UFOs, he believes in all of this stuff. It's actually more interesting to hear this story from the perspective of his wife, who was a little more skeptical, it seems, and did a little less cocaine. That's absolutely right Rory. Really this story all hinges on just how you view Bowie's integrity, how you view his wife's integrity. Bowie was known as a really forward-thinking person,

an intelligent guy, so I thought I would leave you and our listeners today with, I don't know if you've ever seen it, but some of David Bowie's most immortal words since he's left this earth, when he was interviewed by BBC Newsnight all the way back in 1999, and he had some words to say about where he thought the internet was going.

Okay. I don't think we've even seen the tip of the iceberg. I think the potential of what the internet is going to do to society, both good and bad, is unimaginable. I think we're actually on the cusp of something exhilarating and terrifying. It's just a tool though, isn't it? No, it's not. No. No, it's an alien life form.

What do you think, I mean, when you think then about it... It's their life on Mars. Yes, it's just landed here. But that's, it's simply a different delivery system there. You're arguing about something more profound. Oh yeah, I'm talking about the actual context and the state of content is going to be so different to anything that we can really envisage at the moment. Where the interplay between the user and the provider will be so

in simpatico, it's going to crush our ideas of what mediums are all about. Hmm. Let me just quickly say, I mean, what a cool guy. Have you ever seen anyone who looks more like an anime main character in your life? So well spoken as well. He carries himself incredibly well. But I thought that was so, I mean that's a kind of iconic quote where he said that the internet is an alien life form. So again, kind of letting us in on his true beliefs in the paranormal. But yeah, what is he going to say? Yeah, life from Mars has just landed.

It's called the internet. Yeah, I don't think we need to take that one literally. I think that's more of a metaphor about how foreign this new thing is. No, I think we should keep this podcast going, actually. That's interesting. I will say for people listening and not watching, of course, he was laughing when he said that. So I think he meant that metaphorically. But yeah, I love that video. It's so cool. And I mean, even just the fact that in 1999, he used the word content when describing the

internet goes to show that he was well, well ahead of his time. Ahead of the game, for sure. Hopefully you have enjoyed this one. If you are a David Bowie fan of which there are very many absolute diehards or if you are new to his work, extremely interesting person. And it turns out an extremely interesting witness to the paranormal.

I really enjoyed looking into this case all about David Bowie's hunted, demonic swimming pool. Let us know what you thought of it, of course, at this ParanormalLifePodcast at gmail.com. Maybe you live on Darnley Drive in Beverly Hills and you can tell us whether that stain is still there. I think the only way we're ever going to get to the bottom of this case is, Kit, you and I booking a trip to Beverly Hills. All expenses paid, of course. We stay out there for as long as we can. Maybe just rent Airbnb, as many mansions as we can,

test out those swimming pools, see what's going on, bring an EMF reader, maybe. Obviously if I don't have a space in my luggage, we'll leave it all behind. And we just get to the bottom of it ourselves after a few cocktails. And then hear me out here, I don't know if I can risk doing this

as I'm not a citizen of America, but I think we get you to get a couple baggies of the white stuff. And we try and recreate kind of beat for beat, we put on the same outfits, well, it doesn't really matter if we do that. We kind of, we'll call each other David and Angie. Nah, that doesn't really matter actually.

But we'll stay up all night doing Coke. Yeah, arguably the whole Beverly Hills thing doesn't matter. We can go to Camden tonight and get it. We should just stay up all night doing Coke. Right. Let's see what happens. Yeah. We might not even record a podcast. Probably gonna cut that from the episode. Don't do drugs. Us or anybody else. Stay safe out there.

Well, like I say, I hope you've enjoyed this week's episode. Hopefully it didn't freak you out too much. And if you are in the middle of house hunting, maybe it's giving you a little bit of food for thought. A couple more questions for your estate agent.
