Today we take a look at two terrifying households first off We travel to France to meet a woman who swears that the only way to enter her house is to walk on your hands And then we travel to South Dakota to meet a young man who's moving into his new apartment He quickly realizes that not only is he not alone in his new abode This creature may have sinister implications for us all today on dead rabbit radio Hey everyone welcome back to another episode of dead rabbit radio on your host Jason Carpenter I'm having a great day. I hope you guys are having a great day, too I hope you have some cool plans for this weekend coming up first off Let's give a shout out to one of our legacy patreon supporters coming at the dead rabbit man right now is Devin Oh, come on in buddy. Come on in Devin You're gonna be our captain or pilot this episode if you guys can't write a patreon I totally get it just help spread the word about the show that really really hopes that a lot I say every episode cuz it's true you can really help the show grow Devin a.k.a. fellow content creator.
Let's go ahead and toss you the keys to the Jason's a lobby We're gonna leave behind dead rabbit man. We are headed all the way out to old tiny France As Devin is driving us out to old tiny France or headed back to the early 1900s I do want to say next week is the last week of season 17. So next week. We're gonna have five episodes And then I'm taking a two-week break.
I'm not gonna do the bonus episodes this week I gotta start those up again But that's just ten more episodes of work and it's really hard to do the show it is a solo podcast I don't have anyone else open me except when you guys help me financially support the show and get the word out I don't want to minimize that but the production of the show is just me and I get burned out and everything like that And I feel bad I even take two weeks off, but I got I gotta take two weeks off every 50 episodes that seems fair So there will be no bonus episodes It'll be two weeks of just dead silence on the dead rabbit radio channel But we will be back for season 18 and another 50 episodes of crazy bizarre macabre stories like these ones These ones are really cool I'm glad I was able to present these two as a pair because I got an interesting hypothesis with this one So Devin's driving the old-timey Jason's lobby. We're wearing old-timey clothes We got on like the girdles and the big old petticoats and tiny little umbrellas We are walking around Rue de Montreal. That's in the St. Margarita district in Paris, France So we're walking around we've looked at her and we're going to courts We're going to go.
We stole all these clothes from some old lady run down straight We end up in court and as we're handcuffed sitting in the back of the courtroom in walks madam burlotti Sure, that's not even as her name if my last name was bloaty. I would definitely change it I don't dare if my dad was very proud the bloatys helped build this country madam bloaty She's an elderly woman she walks into the local magistrates office I don't know if that's the same thing as a court, but anyways just roll with it Just roll with it like you're a big bloaty old lady She walks into local magistrates office and she says listen you need to help me sir I am just a simple little woman living at home with my son and my brother and it's fine My everything's going good. They're right, but one thing that's super weird every time I walk to my house Audio podcast she opens the door and then me this old lady I have to get down on my hands and knees do a handstand and Hand walk into my house and then I get back on my feet and I go about my business And magistrate is looking at this lady and thing up to she must be seen I like and she must be super limber She can walk in her hands. He goes.
Wait, so you're saying that like they make you do that your son and your brothers No, no, no, no, no, I'm not accusing them of making me do that when I come to my door frame I am overcome. It's not even overcome. I have to walk on my hands. I can't enter in my house any other way The magistrate has the woman detained because he goes she must be nuts.
That's impossible There's not any sort of magical force that will make you walk on your hands Maybe a kind of maybe a guy with a truction right would force an old lady to do this But there's not so he actually sends an officer out to her house And he's like listen go talk to the son or the brother figure out what's going on because I'm assuming this woman's either insane Or she's being abused so he sends out this dude a sergeant deville to go out there and he's greeted there by her son And he's a 27-year-old man. He's a bank clerk. We don't have his name We're just doing it's Bobby bloating and Bobby goes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no I know why you're probably here right my mom went to go talk to you about fixing the whole door thing Or you're here to like take care of that and the officer's like, yeah, what's going on with that?
It sounds like dude. This is so weird every time I try to go into the house I can't I stop I physically stop at the doorframe and then I get down on my hands and ease and I walk on my hands Into the house and the officers like what in the world is going on here? That's impossible. So they go and they get his uncle we have his name Paul Rice This was the brother Paul Rice shows up when he's 50 years old and he goes.
Oh, yeah Yeah, thanks for calling me down officer You're here about the whole walking hands thing and the officers like yeah, and the brother Paul goes listen I don't know what this old lady's been telling you or what the sun's been telling you, but I'm gonna tell you the truth right now Every time I come to the door I can't enter the house and this one's like yeah It's like oh you're telling about a whole walk in the head. Yeah, that's why we're here the uncle goes Yeah, so the officer the sergeant available takes these two dudes back to the magistrate where the mom is currently in detention She has like on a little prison jumpsuit and they're all standing there and they're like yeah No, this is 100% true. We cannot walk into this house without walking on our hands and Paul Rice goes here In the magistrates office the uncle starts walking around on his hands in the magistrates office and then the son joins in He's doing it too, and then madam bloaty elderly woman she's walking around on her hands as well and The magistrate goes stop stop so I know what walking on her hands look like but this can't be true And they actually summoned the concierge for the building so the officer brings him before the magistrate the concierge goes Listen dude, he sees those three he sees those three standing in the room and he goes okay You heard what they're saying it sounds insane and it isn't saying right, but But Magic is I damn it damn it and since he said but I know it's coming next they come to years goes They complain to me about it. I went to their door and I couldn't move inside I couldn't do it and Then I got down on all fours and I'm incapable of doing a handstand.
It's not something that I can do I don't know who these three gymnast are but I sat there in the doorway trying to kick my feet up to do a handstand You cannot enter the house on your feet This story as ludicrous as it sounds was reported in several newspapers of the time We have a publication we have a daily mail which published it on May 1st back in 1907 And then I found the Roanoke times volume 41 number 120 They published it on May 19th 1907 and they tell this story and the story ends with The judge or the magistrate that you think is the right terminology the magistrate ordered the house disinfected And that's the end of the story There's no follow-up to it. There's no everyone went back to the house and they can iterate as normal There's no telling us that it worked that it didn't work. It just says the magistrate ordered the room disinfected It's interesting. Here's the thing.
We know we talked about this a lot on the show old-timey newspapers made a lot of stuff up New-timey newspapers make a lot of stuff up, but old-timey newspapers would publish Fiction for I think you could call it fiction. You could call it a lie Sometimes I would publish basically tall tales and it would get mixed in with these things and then you fast-forward a hundred years And they're like oh look at this article about finding giants in Arizona and it was fake The story was made up we see that a lot in old-time newspapers Well, they're they will publish stuff that simply didn't happen and what it also can happen is the daily mail could have published it Knowing it was a joke and then other newspapers started picking it up that happens as well And I almost feel like this could be a joke That's lost in translation because it just ends with the magistrate saying have the room disinfected and maybe there was some joke or meme Going around at the time that we've totally lost context for and if someone of the time in 1907 they read that they're like Mary come and look at this article is it's so funny because the joke would have made sense to them Or because we do believe in the paranormal or even if you don't you're fascinated by the paranormal it could be true Right you could have a house that has that type of pull that type of hold over someone I could not do a handstand if someone put a gun to my head I can't do a handstand and I think the story is interesting because they do have a character who can't do the handstand and There's no magic force that makes him do the handstand. He just feels compelled to do it But that old lady's doing them right so I mean that old lady's more fit than I am fascinating story and In the world of paranormal this definitely fits the lore right some sort of compelling force some sort of command And it's not necessarily a verbal command or a threat. It's a psychic Impulse on you you can't insert unless you do X So it's fascinating story and the question is that is disinfecting help?
What was the disinfecting right? What does that mean? It was there some sort of what the Roanoke article kind of added a bit of a detail and said there might have been some strange disease in the house There might have been some fleas that escaped a flea circus and they're making everyone do tricks by biting them at night Who knows probably not that one but it's just an interesting story about how so that makes you do something We have ghosts that can make you do something we have demons that can make you do something both of those in ways of possessing people And if a ghost can haunt a house Why couldn't the ghost have that also effect on type of people? It's not something I say it's in the lore.
It makes sense It's not something that's super common though where people enter a house where they feel compelled to do something However, it is not one of a kind it does happen. It's just not super common and strap in guys because that's upon That's a fun you'll understand in a bit strap in because we're about to head to another house with a far more sinister version of this story and a far more recent example as well Devin let's go ahead and toss you the keys of the carpenter copter We're leaving behind France waving out these people as they are doing handstands waving their feet back at us We're leaving behind old-timey France. We're headed all the way out to Aberdeen, South Dakota Recently on the export. There was a really cool thread about the Midwest area What's some creepy weird stuff that's going on the Midwest of the United States?
So a lot of really cool post in there and there's this one I really wanted to highlight because it is just terrifying and opens up a whole new Avenue of how our lives can be affected by the paranormal forces hidden around us We're in Aberdeen, South Dakota the year is 2002 give or take it somewhere around there and there's this young man in the area Let's call him John and that's just a guess if it's a super common name But that's your real name. I'm just shot in the dark there and he says, you know the city of Aberdeen in South Dakota It's just full of weirdos, right? It's you're listening to this you're like what it's full of weirdos He says it's one of those towns that no matter where you go in South Dakota No matter where you go in South Dakota if you mention Aberdeen people go Oh, just kind of like yeah, that sounds weird No, every state has that town every area has that town up where I'm at that's do for do first considered a full of a bunch of weirdos But I'm starting my do for listeners. He says this town of Aberdeen is just where now He had a friend who lived in this town and his friend who lived in Aberdeen What often have dreams about demons and that would just be unsettling to begin with I as much as I spend time in the world I don't often dream about demons shockingly very little now that I think about it's kind of weird Yes, he's dream I'm like holding hard shape to live with a demon on it like all come to me in nighttime.
Please my infernal buddies I'm glad that I'm glad that I'm having he dreams about demons and he goes It's not just that I was having dreams about demons. I'm having dreams that in the basement of my house Which there is a basement. There's this huge pit There's not a bit. There's not a bit in my real basement But in the dreams I will be in the basement and there's this pit there and then I can see demons crawling out of the pit Into our reality Whatever right spooky spooky dreams because I had him every once in a while But just dreams Well, eventually the house got sold and the new owners of the house They've been there for a bit they actually get a hold of him and his family and they go hey, you know We bought this house from you.
Thanks for selling it to us But there's been some weird things going on in this house. Do you guys have any idea of what they could be? I don't know if they lied like oh no man That's totally no, but the new owners also said not only has some weird things been happening We keep in these weird dreams about the basement So that's just a creepy story from the town of Aberdeen South Dakota But that's not the reason why we're here. That was just a story So if you have a basement you'll be scared tonight The reason why we're here is we are helping John move into his new apartment We're actually watching him.
We're not helping we're watching John move into his new apartment now His new apartment in Aberdeen used to be an old house over a hundred years old But it had recently been sectioned off into three separate apartments. What a cool place to live, right? John said my apartment had a standard bedroom Like you walk into the entryway for his apartment give a standard bedroom living area things like that But right when you walk into his apartment right off from the entryway was this room This this room that seemed almost too small to have any real use very very small room off to the side of the entryway And he's moving stuff in he's all alone moving by himself putting his bedroom sent and stuff out and he goes I had a very weird vibe just moving my stuff in And this is the first night he's putting everything away and he says as I'm continuing to get stuff out of my car and bring it inside The weird vibe changed to almost a paranoia. I felt like someone was watching me But you know new place is that something that normally happens when you move into new apartments the overwhelming dread of being watched by the dam He doesn't know me It's his first apartment as he's putting stuff in his bedroom and coming back outside to get stuff out of his car and coming back into his bedroom As this process is going on at one point he walks out of his bedroom into the living room And he sees sitting there in his living room a man in a straight jacket The man is staring at John with piercing eyes and a huge grin across this face John described it as it is what you would think a psychotic stare would look like It was a very definition of that rictus grin with wild wide eyes staring directly at you John ran out of the living room ran out of his apartment ran out to his car and drove away trying to make sense of what that was right He's pretty sure he's pretty sure he doesn't have a roommate.
Definitely doesn't have a roommate in a straight jacket And he drives out to his buddy's house in the area This has to have just been like my imagination, right? I'm getting creeped out. It's a new place. Maybe I just need some help moving in So he talks to us, but he doesn't tell him anything.
He's like hey He's also when he saw someone is a big piece thing on his pants He's like hey buddy. How's it going one time? No C's like dude take a shower and change your vans Hey, you want to come back and help me move stuff in you come check out my new place Yeah, sure let's go do it. So he picks his friend up doesn't tell him what he saw and they both enter the apartment John looks living rooms completely empty John goes into his bedroom starts putting stuff away his friends helping him move stuff around and then all of a sudden from the living room He hears his friend screaming at the top of his lungs John's in the bedroom and from the living room.
He hears his best friend screaming at the top of his lungs John knows exactly What his friend is seen? John leaves the bedroom just as his friend is leaving the apartment running outside And John catches up to his friend and goes you saw it didn't you you saw it? I knew because I saw it, but that was real wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, that was what was that?
It was some crazy guy in a straight jacket and saying look on his face I know so then this this is hilarious and exactly what I would do they decide to go get the best friends a little brother Who I'm assuming is at least an adult, right? I hope it's not like a ten-year-old, but they decide listen We need so maybe this maybe we're both just losing our minds, right? Let's go pick up your little brother and We will tell him there's a phantasm of an insane man in my new apartment. Let's just go pick him up See what he sees So they go and they pick up a little brother.
He's playing switch. He's like we animal park or whatever that game is animal farm It's so fun. No, no, come on dude. Come on, buddy.
Let's go to this house. Oh, they're all gummy worms are trying to trick him out Come on. Come on. Yeah, I'll go with you guys.
They take the younger brother to the house John's driving They take the younger brother to the house and they have not told him anything about what's in the house and when John and his Friend walk into the house the brother follows them in and then once he gets into this apartment, he stops and And then he walks into the small room off the entryway. He walks into that small room and Wraps his arms tight around his body and goes, look at me. Look at me. I'm crazy And they go, what are you doing?
He goes, I just pretend I'm in a straight jacket. Whoa, look at me. I'm crazy And his fear is gripping John and his friend They ask why the world are you acting like you're in a straight jacket and the brother goes I don't know I just I feel like I feel like this is a room where you would put someone with a straight jacket I just I don't know. Look at me.
I'm all trapped in here. Let me out. Let me out John packed his stuff up broke his lease and never went back to that apartment. This was his first night.
Remember never went back He said like years later. He was talking to his friend about it He goes, I remember that house that I got with a crazy guy with a straight jacket And then your brother like started acting like a crazy guy in a straight jacket and all that stuff and his friend Who will name Kevin? I didn't give him a name the whole story. Frank goes.
Yeah, I can't remember that I think we were just tired John's like what? I don't you know, I just I think we were both tired of that night. I've probably just seen things not not real There's no ghosts John goes, so you think we were both tired and we both saw the exact same thing and I didn't tell you what I saw But somehow you saw the same thing. Oh, yeah, yeah, just sleepy And it's funny because I've encountered that as well I've met people who have gone on ghosts hunts with me and we've seen paranormal phenomenon and that night We talk about it and weeks later.
We're talking about it and then months later. Yeah, well, no, maybe it wasn't that Well, no dude, we clearly saw something out. I don't know. Maybe we were just tired It's weird how the human mind doesn't want to believe in this stuff because it's Creepy, right our brains have governors built into them So we don't see everything that we see and the things we do see that we're not supposed to see we will Discard them.
It's very very interesting. I've seen that happen to a friend of mine and it may have even happened to me I wouldn't know obviously right if my brain goes on I was probably just made up and then I stopped remembering it but yeah, it's super weird I've been on ghosts hunts with people that were really good friends of mine and they would have seen something and it's I brought it up months or a year later and they're like, I don't remember the events. You know, it's interesting They'll remember the event, but they'll remember it as oh, I think it was something different So now that they go Jason, what are you talking about? Is that when you're doing all those binadills?
No, they remember the event They remember seeing the thing. They just have a new I just hired. I just hallucinated the same thing you saw which really is Unlikely the thing I love about this story is it's not just that there was a phantom in the house Right, it's not just that there was the image of a man in a straight jacket with a terrifying grin and crazy eyes Right that enough is scary, but the fact that the brother when he walked in Became the phantom He walked in and instantly Felt compelled to wrap his arms around his body walking to this little room and start acting like he's in a straight jacket Now the other two people Kevin and John were walking throughout the apartment for a period of time before this creature this spirit made itself No one but the younger brother immediately Takes on the personality of the lunatic Now he goes there's no history of the house. He said there was a hospital nearby But he tried looking at me when he was trying to break his lease.
He's probably trying to prove that it was on He goes he couldn't find anything in the house that would point to it being haunted or being used as an insane It's on them or something like that But you know the kind of the implication is that little room was set up for a man in a straight jacket And now his spirit is free to roam But not again, not only that that it can actually not necessarily possess people but latch on to certain people and that person takes those traits Didn't see the man just felt acting a little crazy Which makes you wonder What if it was the younger brother who moved into this place, right? He walks in there and he sees that room and he goes This is where a crazy person would be and he wrapped his face He's all by himself in this instance, but he's pretending he's wrapped in a straight jacket for a bit in the room He's like crazy crazy times then he goes on and he's unpacking his stuff and this man is very vulnerable to this spirit and over time It's not just oh, I bet you that room was used for a guy with a straight jacket this dark psychic energy is actually infusing this young man driving him crazy The other people had enough shielding they could at least see it But this young man when he walked in he was instantly vulnerable to this thing and my and like the story before I mean these are very obvious visualizations or actions from this the first story having to walk in on your hands And this story seeing this ghost and then someone being influenced instantly by the ghost I started put together that like these are obvious things, but what about All the houses that we've lived in all the apartments we've been in over the years, right? Even just visiting someone else's apartment who's to say and we'll have the episode up like this with this very dark and dreary ending How much of our personalities are us? How many of our likes and dislikes or vices and addictions Or fears and hopes are actually us And how many are psychic residue from a place we visited once or a home we grew up in Where a young girl died in a pool back in the 70s And you moved into that house and we just didn't like swimming You just never really could explain it.
No, I'm not you know, I'm a good swimmer And all I just don't enjoy swimming Or you spend most of your life not being anti-cigarette, but not really being interested in cigarettes either And then you're in your mid 20s and you're in a new town and you find yourself Craving a cigarette, you know, you figure listen, I work in this new job. I'm in this new town. I'm super stressed And I saw the movie Joker and it made smoking look really cool. So I knew what impressed some girls So I went and picked up some cigarettes and you know, I'm not addicted.
I just smoke guys really on the weekends But it's just all this other stuff going on in my life But it's actually psychic residue from your new place of residence It's interesting because this is actually a belief of Scientology that there are engrams that are connected to you And we have to wipe those off of ourselves and part of being a Scientologist is building up I'm going to bastardize it. I've had a few Scientology friends in my life And I'm just kind of putting it together piece by piece But it's something that you have to do this cleansing You do like the e-meter thing and you relive the experience over and over again of this negative thing And you're kind of washing these engrams off of you until you become clear I think it's the supposed to be the base level of humanity and then if you do it more you can ascend type of thing it kind of is aligned with that But this leans more into just a paranormal thing all of the yesterday we talked about ghosts are everywhere This one's kind of the same thing this psychic energy is everywhere and how much of ourselves is actually ourselves One thing that I find very interesting that my appetites are not my own When you fast You very quickly realize that a lot of the stuff you love to eat is actually the stuff your gut biome needs to fuel itself It's fascinating your gut biome sends chemicals into your body saying we need sugar We need carbs. We need sugar. We need cars That's where those cravings come from if you can go I think it's two or three days without consuming sugar or carbs all of that gut biome dies off You'll actually be craving it even more because it's releasing more signals to your brain because they will die It's basically an entire civilization in your stomach that will die if you don't have at least a candy bar or a donut Come on just eat that donut and you have to go three days basically And then all of that dies in your stomach and your gut biome is now different and your taste buds are different And what you want to eat is different until you start eating sugar and carbs again and that gut biome starts to reappear And then the cravings start again.
That's aren't my cravings. Those are cravings that are coming from within my stomach and alien Lifeform that's not that's made it's home in me, but it's not me And that's explained by science. We know that from science So the question is when we look at the world of psychic energy How many of our phobias or how many of our addictions or how many of our attractions How many of our desires are actually natively ours How many are things attaching themselves to us It's a tricky question because there's really no answer for it, right? It comes down to who are you as a person What is yourself and you may think you know you and you may be very introspective and know you But whatever could be inhabiting you could also be Hiding very very well.
I use extreme examples like picking up a smoking habit or being afraid of water It could be far more simple than that far more simple than that Doesn't have to be walking on your hands doesn't have to be being crazy in a house The world of paranormal is so fascinated because there's so many roads we can walk down and a lot of those roads Or spooky very very scary and unsettling roads And I think this is one of those I think this really Kind of makes you buy into this hypothesis that who are you? When you get angry is it you or is it some sort of rage energy that latched onto you many many years ago You think you're in love with a person But you don't really understand why it doesn't make sense to you why you love them so much Maybe you don't But some energy some thought form attached itself to you around the same time you met them Things just seem to click But were you really in control of those decisions? I talked about on my episode solar plexus clown gliders How when I was in a courtroom in Sacramento for college class, I had to go to courtroom I saw a king cobra on the seat next to me Wasn't real but I saw it. I saw it uncoil And lunge at me And then for the next five years I suffered from back pain Which led me to be prescribed 240 viket in a month And I always wondered I always figured that that wasn't sort of psychic energy that someone had left in that courtroom And it had attached itself to me and caused this pain it was physical pain But it was caused by some sort of psychic entity who knows where that is now, right Other than a few bumps and bruises due to being 45 years old my back's fine I didn't need to be on 240 viket in a month Back in 2003.
That's what they were prescribing for a little bit of back pain and my life really started to slide Because how do you function on that much narcotics, right? It's an narcotic drug You know, I'm I'm doing good. I'm doing great. There's a lot of people right?
There's a lot of people who didn't get out of that It's a lot of people they've got sucked deeper into that world of painkillers. I'm very consider myself very very lucky blessed right blessed But I do believe that there are entities out there that can latch on to us And I do believe that there may not be the cause of all of our vices and all of our passions I do believe that these things are out there. I've talked about it before I called them psychic landmines A thousand people could walk back and forth across one of these things and it never do anything And a hundred people could walk by and get a weird feeling right something feels off in this area. They don't want to be here It's creepy But maybe Three or four people walk across that thing and that landmine goes off That spirit that demon that arcon whatever you want to call it springs to life latches on It takes you for one hell of a ride The world of the paranormal is fascinating and terrifying Because it can go from being a spooky story to a life change in event Like that And you never know what side you're going to be on Are you going to be the person just listening to the story on dead rabbit radio?
