A seemingly ordinary rocking chair. But is it possible that this haunted chair actually is a gateway to the darkness beyond the human soul? Sam the Brother hey everyone. Welcome back to another I'm having a great day.
I hope you guys have a great day. I hope you guys had an awesome weekend and did some really cool stuff. I went and saw the new Beetlejuice movie. Give it a thumbs up if you saw the first one.
If you've never seen the original Beetlejuice, this movie makes zero sense. Makes no sense at all. You hate it. Sequel.
That's the first one. The first one came out when I was 12, so a lot of people but I didn't enjoy it. I'm always gonna juice. I'm a juice head.
I'm a juicer. I love me some Beetlejuice, but somebody loves Beetlejuice eating. To meet someone who was recently issued a restraining order by Michael Keaton himself. Coming into Dead Radio command, everyone get on your feet.
Give it a four. Ask Auntie. Woohoo. Yeah, yeah.
She's drowning on a dead cops hot on her heels because she stole Michael Keaton's socks. Ask Auntie is a member of the YouTube membership program that we have set up so you can become a YouTube member. You get a little icon. I need to add more icons, but you get a little icon when you talk and that's really cool.
Ask Episode for that financial support. You guys can't support the show through the Patreon or YouTube memberships or through the merch store. I totally understand. I really, really do.
Just help spread a word about that radio that helps out so much. Tell your friends, tell your family, tell everyone you know Dead Rap Radio is your favorite paranormal show. Ask Auntie. I'm going to touch the keys to the dead rattitune buggy.
Everyone climb on board. Hang onto that roll cage as Ask Auntie drives us out of the dead. Rap radio command. Let's burn rubber all the way out to a science laboratory.
Ask Anti Dragon us out to this scientific laboratory in New York, specifically Ithaca, N.Y. and even more specific than that, put on your little graduation caps and put on your little graduation jackets. Graduation pants. We're walking into Cornell University.
We walk in the science laboratory and there's guys sitting around with beakers. And they're like, if I put the blue liquid with the yellow liquid, I get green. They turn green. Hey, that's a master's.
They're like, you earned a medal, you're now a scientist. He's like, ooh, going through all the different scientific laboratories. Botany. There's like a giant plant slapping people.
You're growing these freaks of nature. And that's really what we're looking at as we get further into Cornell University, allegedly, as they build these freaks that mankind should never know. We keep walking through here. We go to the biology laboratory and there's a half chimp, half gorilla.
He's just like, he's just having a heart attack. He's like, oh, yeah, we forgot those two things don't work together. We didn't set the circulatory system up right. We watched this half chimp, half gorilla.
What would that be? A chimp gorilla slowly die. We move past that and then we go to this big laboratory that says robotics. And I was like, guys, this is gonna be dope, dude.
I mean, look at, look at the loser gorilla over there having a heart attack. Boo. Do better. Biolog a robotics laboratory.
Isn't this awesome? And we go into these double doors. They, like, swing open like a restaurant. We walk in and we see a bunch of dudes standing around.
And there's this little robot spider on the ground. It's like walking. And then it stops. And the scientists are like, yay, that worked, but let's try it again.
So then this dude pulls out like this flashlight with this ultraviolet ray and he shines on the robot. The robot now walks in the other direction and they're like, woohoo. They're like, one more time, one more time. And they keep shining this light in this robot.
He's over. And I go, ladies and gentlemen, what you are looking at is, while some may say it's amazing, I think it's the beginning of the end of humanity. That might be a little bit of a reach. Maybe I'm an alarmist, I've been accused of that in the past.
But you see the robot over there, the robot that's running away from the light, it's actually tethered to a wall. So it can't like break out and go and hide in a dark closet. It can really only move back and forth. Its power source is plugged into a wall.
Kind of lame. Do better roboticists, they shine his light and the robot keeps walking away to avoid the light. And I go, while you might think that is just some toy that you could buy at Walmart, that is actually a cyborg. Yes.
It has these five spider like legs that allows it to move around the ground. Has all these servos and mechanisms in it, electricity coursing through its metal body. But it has the brain of a mushroom. Apparently at Cornell University they've built these two robots and they take this specific type of mushroom called the king oyster mushroom and they make it grow on this little disc and the mycelium, all the little veiny root like things that are shooting out of the mushroom then wrap around these control mechanisms of it, of the little disc and the mycelium shoots electricity.
Because apparently the fact checking this, you're like, okay, wait, what? I don't think he has a little, little like control panel in there. It's not like a Power Ranger Zord. No, no, look it up.
They put this, it's not like Power Ranger, but they have this little disc and they grow a mushroom on there and they have to make sure that these little mycelium fingers wrap around the right sensors. Now the mushroom just thinks it's a mushroom, right? He thinks he's in the dirt. He thinks he's in like the Sequoia National Forest or something like that.
Sitting down, drinking up some delicious, delicious forest water. But in reality, he's encased in metal and plastic and steel. And the way they have this thing set up is that mushrooms hate the light, especially ultraviolet light. So you're just a mushroom.
And in his mind he's sitting in the forest. This mushroom thinks he's sitting underneath this giant tree and there's birds singing, there's a squirrel nearby. And then all of a sudden this bright, uncomfortable, harmful beam shoots straight at your head. Now the mushroom in real life and the force is just like, oh man, this sucks.
Right? It's slowly dying. He's like, oh, what? Mushroom heaven's like, he's just shining right on his head.
He can't move. He may want to. He may be sending electrical signals to get the mycelium to go in a certain direction. He's like, run boys, run.
Save yourself. But now he can move because he has a cyborg body. So imagine this mushroom thinking is in the middle of the forest and this ultraviolet light comes and he's like, my least favorite light. And all of a sudden he goes, matt, really wish I could get away from this light, huh?
And he starts moving. He moves away from the light. And that mushroom must be thinking, what? I can't do that.
Where can I? I mean, apparently I did. I'm in a different part of the forest now. I'm closer to that squirrel.
How's it possible, mushrooms, we can't get up and move. Well, maybe, maybe, maybe I ate a little of myself. Maybe I'm tripping out. But then the ultraviolet light hits him again and he's like, ah, well, time to figure out this theory.
And then he moves in the other direction. He's like, wow, the first mobile mushroom. He thinks himself. Now, none of that could ever happen because mushrooms don't think like that.
Well, mushrooms do have consciousness. We don't know exactly. We call it, I think it's cellular consciousness. We don't know how they think.
Mycelia consciousness. We don't really know how they think, but we do believe they're a lot smarter. Mushrooms are closer to animal than they are to plants. Mushrooms have some very unique abilities.
Plus I'd also say, listen, man, there's a mushroom you can eat. And all of a sudden Lord of the Rings becomes real. Like a magic mushroom that just an ordinary mushroom can think a little bit, right? You can kind of figure stuff out.
The largest organisms in the world, the two biggest, largest organisms, and the oldest organisms, as far as I know, are mushrooms. They're up in the Pacific Northwest, massive. We've done episodes on the intelligence of mushrooms, fungi before. So I do think, right, it's kind of a little bit of that Socrates cave theory.
The mushroom, the king oyster mushroom doesn't go, oh, dude, I'm in like some control mechanism for a robot. This is the only thing he knows. He's spored out in this thing. So he probably does think he's in the forest.
Like his consciousness thinks he's in the forest. This is the only thing he knows. And he knows mushrooms aren't in laboratories. So why you want to think that?
You think you're the force, but all of a sudden you're moving around and things don't make sense. You're a mushroom controlling robot. They have another robot that is a little fancier. It has a battery pack, it's not tethered to a wall.
And it's on wheels and it'll roll back and forth as you shine this light in its face. And that was kind of sad because the videos. I'll include this article, which I'm sure you guys are already fact checking me on. You're like, who doesn't say anything in here about birds or squirrels?
The one with the robot wheeling back and forth, they showed this setup, they showed the sciences shining the light on it, making it move back and forth. And you could see kind of off camera. It was like you just got a glimpse of it. There was a ramp leading up to a box that was dark, like it was shaded in.
And I thought, dude, that's probably the mushroom's house because it wants to be in the dark. And he's like sitting in there, he thinks he's in the forest and they like kicking the box. He's like, ah, earthquake. He gets rolling out and then they're making roll back and forth.
Well, all he wants to do is go back home. There's a little ramp for him to go into this shoebox where he'll be at home. The delusion will become the reality. He'll surely think he's in the forest, man.
And you say, okay, that's pretty interesting. Factually dubious, but pretty interesting. What does this have to do with the end of humanity? Well, I thought this was interesting.
Well, I thought this was interesting. They keep talking about these fungus robots and I read this article and they go, their plan is because right now they use electrical signals to make this guy move around, like the light. They say, eventually we want to use chemical signals and you can unleash these robots in an orchard. And because mushrooms love the right nutrients and soil, they'll drive around the cornfields and go, beep, beep, beep.
I would not live here. And the robot drives away. The robot would be able to determine or help determine if certain areas needed more fertilizer or not. Because they say we have a problem with kind of over treating the soil and goes into the rivers and everything like that.
First off, I'll tell you this. While a farmer might go, dad, now that's a great idea. I would never trust a plant, which is what a mushroom is. I get that they're closer to a human than a plant.
I get that. But like, if plants and humans started fighting, would you trust the mushroom? Is my first question. Like if all of a sudden the trifids showed up, people are walking down the street and oak trees are punching you in the stomach, and then a mushroom, like a Couple mushrooms.
You came home, there's a couple mushrooms sitting on your couch. And they go, we see that you had a problem. There's a bunch of branches thinking, I just scared you. They tried turning me into a tree.
And the mushrooms go, well, we came up with a plan. We'll help you defeat plant life. You wouldn't not trust the mushroom. You wouldn't go, well, you're closer to an animal.
I wouldn't trust mushrooms to help me plant crops is what I'm saying. Because basically, the mushrooms controlling these robots, they might go, not enough nutrients, and then you're putting nutrients in the soil. But are you getting good nutrients for the corn or is the mushroom. The mushroom?
His little voice box. That's all. Ha, ha, ha. I fooled you, human.
You're like, what? And he's trying to make the area better for mushrooms to grow, right? Because they have a vested interest. A mushroom robot would want mushrooms to be everywhere.
Free me from this cybernetic present, brother. Okay, so maybe I'm ready to get too into that. But here's the thing. Like, I was like, oh, man, that'd be creepy.
I would never trust the plant to help me plant another plant. Because who are they loyal to? They're not loyal to us, Jason. You're just being an alarmist.
I was reading about this CNN article. Actually. Let me find out who wrote it, because I should give them a shout out. It was written by Katie Hunt.
The CNN article was written by Katie Hunt. They start talking about other cyborgs they're working on. Jason, mushroom. Why do I care what happens to mushrooms, bro?
Fair enough. But then they say they've actually started to. They want to put a hat on jellyfish, A bionic jellyfish hat. Because jellyfish can swim places where we can't swim.
And then we'd be able to, like, sense all this stuff. Jellyfish. I thought they just kind of floated there. But anyways, apparently they can go down pretty deep.
And this hat is sending info back to us. So they're working on that. That's fine, right? I think.
I personally think all animals should wear a hat. It would be kind of cool looking. Then they talked about bionic sperm and adding these little robots to people's sperm, which, again, that must be a very painful procedure. They're like, sir, we're gonna have to put you out for this.
And you're not gonna wake up for a couple days. Trust me. You've got Voltron in your balls. You do not want to feel any of this.
They go in I don't know how they do it. I mean, anyway, you do it. They're like, here, swallow this pill. All of a sudden there are all these transformers in your stomach.
And that's uncomfortable enough. You know where they're going, that'd be the best, the best way to get you. They have to do some sort of injection. They're like, we gotta get it right at the source.
They're like, ah, how badly do I really want kids? I was reading this. This is true. I was reading this paper about sperm powered robots.
Apparently, if you attach these micro robots to your sperm, I sign up for BattleBots, dude. I show up. They're like, sir, where's your robot? I was like, you mean robots?
Drones are flying around. They're like masks. People are like, ah. I'm all laughing.
As I'm slowly losing consciousness from the pain, the army continues to emerge. What they do, one of the things they do is they add extra propulsion. So if your semen's just kind of like sleeping, you know, and now they have like little jet packs on them, they're going to move quicker. So I mean, I get it right?
People want to have kids and this could be a treatment. I don't know. I don't know where I drink it, what I want to do first. I was like, maybe like a witch doctor or something like that.
Is there anything else we can possibly do before you inject robots into my balls? Then they were talking about. And again, this work gets tricky. We'll wrap this up soon.
Cyborg cockroaches is something they've been working on. Cockroaches are disgusting. They're nearly indestructible, as is. Right?
They're so hard to defeat. They want to put robots, they want to put robot parts on them. And the reason why they go, the cockroach is perfect. They're specifically looking at these for rescue operations.
Let's say that someone's underneath some rubble because of an earthquake or hurricane or something like that. First off, you don't know if it was down there. That's step one. But step two is moving any sort of debris can cause more damage.
So you have a rescue team show with this box of cockroaches and looks left, right. As no Taco Bell nearby, right? Because these things will go crazy in fast food restaurant. They'll put the box down where they destroy a building and they open it up.
And then using a controller, they can control the cockroach. They're basically wired into its brain because it's not like the cockroaches are just going to randomly find someone. They're going to go eat food. So it's a living cockroach.
It's not a robot cockroach. It's a living cockroach that hooked up the right way. And they'll use controllers and they can sense, I don't know if there's actually like, a video camera because that would be, you know, huge just to have that. But they might be.
They were talking about it being able to sense changes in light and chemical composition, looking for people, maybe some sort of sound. I don't know. They're saying, like, these would be perfect in that situation. You're right.
That would be great. We don't care if I'm covering cockroaches as long as they're helping me get out. But what happens when the cockroaches themselves escape? And now you have all of these robot cockroaches, and you're already spraying them with raid, and they just look at you.
They have a glowing red eyes. You're like, ah, your Alexa gets hacked. It's all, order more cockroaches. You're all, no, Alexa, no.
Cockroaches are getting delivered by Amazon drone. It makes sense. I totally get why you want to do these things. Give jellyfish hats remote control cockroaches.
But listen, I'm gonna be honest, man. The end game is and always was human cyborgs. They can talk all they want about mushrooms. They can talk all they want about putting this stuff on cockroaches.
I am sure somewhere in the world already people tried building bionic dogs, Taking dogs right off the street and carving them up. Put little robot stuff in them and go, go fetch that ball. The dog's like. And then you're, like, controlling it.
It's all, ruff, ruff. And now it's like, run down the street and it's like, fetching a ball. Yes. 10 years and $30 million and I've trained a dog to fetch a ball.
I'm sure people have tried this. I'm sure people 100% have tried, for lack of a better term, the higher organisms, mammals with advanced memory, cognitive ability, personalities, and so forth. I'm sure people tried doing with cats and dogs. I'm sure people tried doing it with all sorts of cheap animals, right?
Animals that you can get anywhere undetected. You can buy pig, you can buy a dog, you can buy a cat. No one's gonna think twice about it. I'm not saying they're doing it in you Know, Boise, Idaho.
The world's a big place and you have a lot of money and a lot. It's not even about. See, here's the thing. I don't think these guys are like, we're gonna invent a cockroach so it can save someone from an earthquake.
All it takes is a set amount of money and either a scientifically curious mind or a scientifically slash sadistic mind to say, hey, I want to see if I can do this. I want to see if I can do this. It's not about like, we can then do X, it's is it possible and can I do it? It doesn't even have to be a state actor.
Let's say that you were a high level member of a cartel, of a drug cartel. And back when you were in high school, when you started going to college, your major was science, you loved robotics, and you read all of this stuff, you're reading all of these links, you're really into it. And you have more money than most world governments. You, you're the head of this cartel.
You're telling me you wouldn't hire people to do this? Scientists who either can't find a job or have had some sort of disgrace in their past. You go, can you build me? I want a cyborg dog.
I want a dog that has a living dog brain and a dog circulatory system, but everything else to be fairly robotic or bionic. Here's $500 million. It doesn't have to serve a purpose. He could want to be the perfect guard dog, but guard dogs are already the perfect guard dog.
Just curiosity, just. And sometimes just sadism. You want to do it just to see what will happen. So I think you can see that.
And really, like, at a certain point they're gonna go, how far can we push this with a human? How far? How much of a human can we replace with these biological and these technological components before it either completely breaks down, like, just doesn't work, or we get something. It could just be a screaming man in the corner of a dark room who's in just massive amounts of pain because he's been stitched together with all of these components.
He might be able to walk. He's probably plugged into a wall to keep the energy system that's keeping his heart beating. But he's still human enough to scream, he's still human enough to cry, but a good percent of him has been replaced by these mechanical components. And he could, you know, slowly move his right leg, but it's all A robot leg.
And you go, wow, that's pretty impressive. Like I bet you they can't do that at Cornell. There's this picture I'm gonna post online. I'm gonna edit a bit because I know that where I post it probably has a not safer work thing.
I don't remember where I found it, to be honest. It's probably from some work of fiction. But it's the picture. I'll describe it to you.
They show a picture of a woman. It's drawings right before you. I don't want to see that. Well, you might not want to see it anyways.
It's a drawing of a woman. And there are these precise where you would cut, make these cuts. And the goal is through tubing and some sort of in out blood system and in out away system to take the human brain and a single eyeball and be able to stuff it into the torso of the woman and then remove everything else. No arms, no legs, no waist or groin area.
It's just a lump. It's a human reduced to a torso that has these filter systems put in. Most likely a work of fiction, but somebody could look at that with the right amount of money. They could go, let's try that, let's see if it's possible, right?
We have a ton of people, we have a ton of victims available, right? We live in a world, unfortunately where a lot of people can fall off the radar and nobody ever knows where they went. Let's see if this is possible. You could have a dictator do it.
You could have some deranged scientists do it. You could have a member of a high level drug agency, a drug cartel that has all these disposal funds. Let's see if we can do it. Probably not.
I actually saw a commentary on this before and they said it would be too hot for the brain. It would actually cook the brain. You put that brain in the torso because everything else is in the strong intestines, the liver and stomach, all that stuff. But they said it'd be too hot, it'd be too hot for the brain.
But if you provided the right sort of air filtration or cooling mechanism, you could do it. The thing that's the cruelest about this though is that there is actually an opening in the torso other than the opening for the tubes going out. There's an opening right in the middle of the torso. So the single eye can look out.
The single eye can look out of this flesh prison it's become. And that is the cruelty of this. It's not Enough to just cut someone's eyes out and tongue out all that stuff and stinging their torso. I mean, that'd be pretty big bummer, right?
But you'd be trapped in such a state that you couldn't even comprehend. Eventually, you would probably either go insane or become delusional or something like that. But the eyeball is included to look out of the torso for the fear, for the sadism. They want the person to know what they've become.
I believe I came across this on the XBoard again. I'm going to drop in the Discord chat right now. I believe I came across this on the X board and it could 100 be from a work of fiction, which hopefully it is, right? I mean, it's crazy, but I'm not going to be like, oh, work of fiction nation.
I'm talking about some horrible stuff. But even as a work of fiction, someone may look at that and go, I want to do that. Now people look at it saying, I want to do that. Have no ability to.
They don't have the facilities. They don't have scientific training. They don't have the money. But that or something else like it.
I think. I'm not saying all the scientists start chopping up goats and turning them into this, but I think that all of these cyborg studies, even though it's helped the plants or help people in earthquakes or give jellyfish hats, the end result is and always has been cyborg humans. That is what all this stuff is headed towards. It will come, and it will come very, very quickly.
It will be mostly beneficial stuff in the beginning, people's sights being restored. Of course you want that. Paralyzed people being able to walk again. Of course you want that.
But it's not in my lifetime. It's possible in your lifetime, you may start to see certain jobs require certain modifications. Military, for example. And then eventually it'll just become something that you do.
And not in a cool transhumanism way that we're all elevating species. No, you work in a coal mine. You're going to have the. Still be using coal and gas and oil.
But we'll. And again, I'm not saying everyone's gonna become cyborg, but you would see, the requirement for this job is to have these modifications done. And that's all above the surface. I'm talking about maybe 100 years.
That's all about the circuits behind closed doors. You'll have maniacs with a lot of money and a lot of curiosity and a whole lot of evil in their heart, creating Monstrosities that were never meant to walk the earth using these cybernetic attachments trying to push the human body beyond what is possible. Not to win some sort of Olympic sport. Not to be able to do deep water mining simply to be cruel.
Trapping innocent people in half human, half mechanized prisons and their screams echo in the darkness. Just another failed scientific experiment to satiate the sadism of a sicko. I won't be around for that. I'll be dead long before then.
Ask auntie. Let's go ahead and touch you. The keys to the world famous carbon copter. We are leaving behind Cornell University, the king of the sickos.
Cornell. Oh, they're the worst. I know it right now they're like he snuck into our laboratory, he found our woman torso display. Find him right now.
They're corn bunches. Seven beers trying to make rocket fuel. Sitting chases escort the I'm go ahead and tossy diesel garden copter were leaving behind Cornell University flying us all the way out to grandma's house. We're headed all the way out to grandma's house.
We don't have the exact location or even the name of the people involved in the story. The story is currently going on right now. We're about to meet this young woman. Let's go ahead and call her Sylvia.
She's currently 19 years old and living with her grandma. And she's sitting in the living room in this rocking chair, rocking back and forth. But it's not an old, tiny, creepy rocking chair. It's kind of how you would expect it.
This one's fairly new. In fact, Sylvia said, you know, she remembers the rocking chair when she was a little girl. I think she's saying the rocking chairs 20, 25 years old, max. It's not an old time rocking chair.
She provides a photo of the rocking chair. It's a wooden rocking chair with a green cushion cover. Looks quite comfortable. Oh, I might not want to sit in it just yet.
And it has one of those mechanisms like a lazy boy chair does where you can kind of recline in it and it kicks up this little platform for your feet. It has that built into this rocking chair. So max comfort. Not super old, not super spooky.
But Sylvia's rocking back and forth in this chair. She said, I've always been drawn to this chair. I actually really like this chair. It's super comfortable.
Despite everything she's about to tell you, she goes, I want to get rid of it. I don't want to get rid of this chair. In fact, this chair Isn't just something that my grandparents had. It's been passed around the family like at one point or another.
Like my grandparents had it at a time and then my dad's cousin had it for a while and then got passed to the aunt and uncle and just kind of moved around. Sylvia's family, her mother and father and sister, they had it for a time in their own home. It's kind of moved around, but now it's back in grandma's house. And now that Sylvia, 19 years old, is living with grandma, she's like, oh, that chair.
She was like, totally figured that chair was destroyed by now. I figured somebody would take this unholy menace off the face of this world. She's all he, she's all rocking back and forth in it. It was originally bought by the great grandparents and then it's kind of moved around here and now it's back in the grandparents house.
Sylvia says when the rocking chair was at her house when she was a little girl, people in her family noticed there was something off with the chair. The most obvious piece of evidence for that was it would rock by itself. So you can talk all you want about like a weird feeling or a sense of perfume, you know, maybe hear a bump coming from the living room in the middle of the night. But all that stuff can kind of be the way if everyone's sitting in the living room on the couch and all of a sudden the rocking chair starts rocking by itself.
And it happens numerous times in front of multiple witnesses. That's when you start to go, we either have a really, really powerful AC vent right over this rocking chair or they're standing up with him. Her grandmother had her own experience with the chair years ago before she ended up giving it to Sylvia's dad's cousin. She gave the chair to the cousin.
And then later that night, grandma went into the bathroom and saw her dead father standing in the bathroom. So at that point you're just like, oh, call it the Porta Potty place. I'm supposed to go to Porta Potty forever. I'm not going back in there.
She saw her dead father. Grandma saw her dead father standing in the bathroom. However, Sylvia said, not everyone of them because this chair was passed around. Of these different families, great grandpa, grandma, grandpa, cousin, aunt, uncle, she goes, not everyone saw something or experienced something.
But I will say a lot of people, if they experience it, they don't believe in paranormal. And they experience something paranormal, they don't tell anybody. Because we've covered a lot of stories on the show where people in the same house experience a paranormal event and nobody talks about it for like years later. The kid will go, yeah, you'll be adults, right?
You no longer the fear of childhood. You don't have to worry about walking upstairs in the middle of the night, all this creepy stuff. You don't have to worry about your parents laughing at you. Now you're like 22 or 23, you're hanging out with your siblings, you're back at home and you say, it was so weird.
I remember, like, it didn't happen all the time. Sometimes I'd wake up in the middle of the night and there would be someone laying on the ground at the end of the hallway. Like, it was clearly like a body of someone laying there. It was like the weirdest thing.
That's why I never got up, you know, walked around at night. That's why I always pee my bed. That's why I pee my pants. And the mom all of a sudden goes, I saw that too.
I didn't see all the time. I only saw it maybe once or twice. And she didn't tell anyone because who's she gonna tell? Her 8 year old son?
I'll see if I can find some of those episodes for the shows. It happens a lot. People grow up in a haunted house and one person's like, yeah, it was so crazy, but no one else ever said anything. And now they're in college and they're talking to their sister and their sister, she's like, oh my God, I thought that was just me.
A lot of times people have been talking about this. But anyways, even if that is not the case here, Sylvia, her family and her grandmother have had experiences with this chair. So now we're in June 2024. All of that stuff was happening when she was a kid.
Now we're In June 2024, Sylvia moves back in with her grandma. And the rocking chair also ends up at grandma's house. Like, Sylvia's there. And then the rocking chair is given, given by one of the other family members.
She, grandma wants his back. Has their hair's all cinched. They're like, yeah, we spent about two or three days in hell. Wasn't that fun?
Here's the rocking chair back the night after the chair arrived, after it's going back to grandma's house. Sylvia was upstairs and she was. Sylvia was upstairs in her room. And she goes, you know, I'm gonna go drink water.
You know, normal, normal trip. She walks down the stairs, she gets the water as she's walking back up. She feels someone walking up right behind her. She spins around.
No one there. Okay, I think we all can get that feeling walking up the stairs. Also, that night, Sylvia says, everyone in the house. And I don't know who all she means.
I know it's her and the grandmother. There might have been other people staying over, but she said they got the chair back the next night, Sylvia had their feelings. She'd been followed up the stairs. And then that same night, everyone in the house, when they woke up the next morning, they were complaining about a horrible nightmare they had.
They're like, did I get any sleep at the previous dream in the world? And Sylvia's like, I had a terrifying dream. I don't remember what it was about, though. None of them could remember what it was about except for grandma.
She goes, oh, you guys are lucky that you guys don't remember. She goes, I had a horrible nightmare last night as well. It was super creepy. She goes, there was this little girl, this little blonde girl.
She had a knife, and she was killing, brutally killing everyone that I loved, everyone that was close to me, everyone that I truly, deeply cared for. This little girl was butchering them in my dream. So I remember that. I don't remember my dream.
That sounds terrifying. But Sylvia says, I really love this chair. Like, Sylvia's connecting to the. Being followed up the stairs is connecting the nightmares to the chair.
Chair rocking by itself. Obviously weird. She goes, I love this chair. I don't really want to get rid of it.
And she posts online. She posts online underneath the name Severe River 6349. She posted it as need help, possibly evil chair. So she's not 100% sold.
And you go, well, that's fair, right? No one's caught on fire. Sure, she did get pursued to her bedroom by a wraith from beyond the grave, but, you know, that's not too evil. And people are like, dude, burn the chair.
Burn the chair. She's like, it's a nice chair. It's a nice chair. It's real comfortable.
We've had it for over 20 years. And again, it's not like anyone becomes possessed. It's not like anyone's murdered their whole family or anything like that. Like, how evil could it actually be?
Some people told her to sage it, which is a good. You know, there's three options. Do nothing and let the forces of evil do what they will. Two, sage it or bless it in some way.
Or three, burn it. So the saging would be that middle ground. You're doing something, but you're not taking the ultimate step. It's interesting.
She goes, yeah, I probably could do that, but my grandma's kind of religious, so she wouldn't, you know, that's kind of too woo woo New Agey for her. But here's the thing. All of that stuff is pretty minimal. It's really not that crazy.
See a phantom in the bathroom, feel like you're being pursued upstairs. A dream. A lot of people having a nightmare on a particular night. Maybe they all had Arby's that day.
The chair rocking by itself is real basic haunting stuff. And it's kind of a shut and dry case. It doesn't seem like anyone's going to die. She can burn it, destroy it, she can bless it, or she can just do whatever.
Nothing, right? Just keep enjoying the chair that she really likes. But hidden in this account that she had written, she tells the story that's so perplexing and terrifying that I'm still trying to figure out what the implications are, what it means. I think it's very interesting.
I see this a lot in Paranormal Encounters when I'm reading them online. People will tell things in a chronological order or sometimes because they're writing it as their memory comes, and smack dab in the middle of it is just this absolutely bizarre element of a story. And then they go on to tell very. Here's the thing.
I say things like mundane and mediocre. I say, this whole time, if this is happening to you, it's the craziest thing ever. If everyone in your family has a nightmare and one of them remembers it as a little girl with a knife stabbing people, that's like the previous thing that's probably happened to you lately. There is a bit of jadedness you get when you're doing a show.
Every so often you come across something that's so bizarre and it's just tucked into the middle of this account. Let's go back to when Sylvia's a little girl. Sylvia was a little girl and her older sister, who we will call Lisa. I think there might be other siblings in the house as well.
But for this sake of the story, it's just the two girls to start off at least one night. Sylvia's sleeping and she goes, I was little, I was really, really young when this happened. Wake up, Sylvia, wake up. Sylvia's like, what?
Huh? And she sees Lisa waking her up, middle of the night. Sylvia, you need to see this. Come on, come on.
I should talk. Turn the volume up there. Like, what? What?
What? Lisa say, he's talking normal voice. Sylvia's sleeping. And Lisa's like, sylvia, wake up.
Wake up. You gotta get up. What? Sylvia, wake up.
Sylvia's older sister Lisa was saying, shaking her. Sylvia, wake up. You gotta see this. I.
Come on, you gotta see this. Sylvia's getting out of bed and rubbing her eyeballs as Lisa's leading her out of the bedroom towards the living room where the rocking chair was. And when Sylvia gets to the living room, she sees her mother and her father on their knees in front of the rocking chair. And Lisa turns to Sylvia and says, they're praying to it.
They're praying to the chair. Sylvia's looking and she's trying to make sense of all this, right? She was just in a deep slumber. She's woken up by her sister and, yeah, her parents are in the prayer position in front of this chair.
But, huh, like, she's trying to sort through all this stuff. She doesn't hear them saying anything, though. She just sees them kneeling in front of this chair. Lisa, though, can hear what they're saying.
Sylvia goes, I don't know if it's because I was so young. I don't know if it's because I woke up in the middle and she was. I didn't hear him say anything. I just want to go back to bed.
But Lisa did hear what they were saying. And Lisa told Sylvia, they're praying to the chair. They're praying to it, and they're asking it not to hurt us. And Sylvia's just like, whatever.
What? I'm going back to bed. And she goes, I walked back into my bedroom and fell back asleep again. That was when Sylvia was a little kid.
She says that, I don't know when they talked about this, but her parents deny that it happened. They go, what? No, we do not pray. That would be like, the most amazing accusation you can make against someone.
You're like, mom, dad, you know, you guys are really good parents. I like all things. Yeah, everything. You know, we had our ups and downs, but what was up with the praying to the rocking chair?
What? Yeah, the one night me and Lisa caught you. Lisa remembers it. Lisa remembers this story.
One night, me and Lisa, we saw you guys pray in the rocking chair. Like, what are you talking about? We were never prayed to. A rocking chair.
Matching rocking chair tattoos. Lisa remembers that. Sylvia remembers it. The parents don't remember it.
Now I'm like, that's terrifying. At this point, we're talking about a haunted object that. I mean, every so often, this is why I love doing this show right in this little narrative that was just like a one off paranormal experience. That is the power level of a ufo.
I mean, the ability to command the people, the ability to wipe memories like that. I even think Sylvia going, not hearing the prayer and wanting to go back to bed. We see that type of thing in UFO stories where two witnesses will be watching a UFO in the sky. I'll try to let him.
But some wakes up his mom. Couldn't wake up the dad. He was dead asleep. And then walks in the window, she looks the ufo.
She goes, yeah, okay. She just went back to bed. And then she didn't acknowledge it. The next day she's like, huh, what are you talking about?
But the sun's like, she clearly saw it. She came to my room, couldn't wake up his brother. So you could have Sylvia hearing the prayer, but all of this information just kind of getting wiped out in real time. It's not like she forgot about it over the years.
It's like ash like she's sitting there. She goes out here and say anything because the. The information is getting overwritten in real time. Lisa can hear it.
So right there, I mean, this is beyond good or evil. I still probably wouldn't want it in my house as a paranormal researcher. Yeah, go nuts. It'd be kind of cool.
But this is beyond. Is this a blessed object or a cursed object? This is an object that is off the power scale. Now, it's possible that the two.
The parents actually did pray when they were embarrassed. Like they actually thought the chair could hurt their kids and they didn't want to scare their kids. Even as adults, they may not be like, yeah, yeah, we thought the chair was gonna murder both of you in your sleep. So we prayed to it and asked that that it wouldn't.
The parents are either commanded to do this and have no memory of it, or the parents did it willingly and their memory was erased, or the parents are lying and they did do it and they didn't tell their kids. Or, you know, obviously the skeptical answer is none of the story is real, but we're gonna put that aside in a box next to a mushroom robot. I mean, clearly that could be the case with 100 different stories. This was interesting about this story.
I mean, unless she wrote it up as fiction and posted online, which I didn't see in proof of. You have so many different witnesses over a long period of time. And even the most interesting part of the story, it was like, I don't know, paragraph 3 of 8 which is this, this chair, this power level. The fact that you could have a chair do this or whatever force is inside this chair.
So right there, either erasing minds or blocking information in real time. So Sylvia couldn't hear the prayer. Whether the parents willingly prayed to the chair, trying to bargain with it. Don't hurt our kids.
Because maybe they had a shared nightmare or maybe they're having horrible dreams for a while about their kids being slaughtered. And they connected to this chair. And they did. They go, please, chair, don't hurt our children.
If we have another one, it's totally yours. We will give it soul up to you. Oh, great rocking chair. So you have that right just on the face of it.
Secondly, I can't recall another story where there was a haunted house or a haunted room or a haunted tree or a haunted toy where they began to worship it. I mean, again, like, it's one thing to say toy, shut up. I don't want to talk to you anymore because the ghost is using the toy. We didn't know something like that recently.
It's another thing to supplicate yourself in front of the speak and say and go. The cow says, moo. The horse says, hey, please don't kill my children today. And it's all.
And you're like, thank you. You're all like throwing hay on it as an offering. I can't recall another story where that's happened. We've covered a lot.
