Nobody likes a cheater. And if you've been watching news lately, there's been a lot of them lately. From the world of poker to competitive fishing, it seems like every day there's a new scandal involving cheating. But when it comes to the world of the paranormal, we are forced to ask ourselves the question is using magic or the law of attraction its own kind of cheating?
Very, very interesting topic. And then we travel to Dire Lane, a haunted road that I've personally been to and done on the ground Ghost Investigations Act. But nothing could have ever prepared me to face down the witches that still haunt this road. Today on Dead Rabbit Radio.
Hey everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Dead Rabbit Radio. I'm your host, Jason Partner. I'm having a great day.
Hope you guys are having a great day too. Hope you guys have some awesome plans for the weekend. We got a lot of stuff to cover. So first off, walking into Dead Rabbit Command is one of our legacy Patreons.
Everyone get on your feet and give it up for Amber. Woohoo. Yeah. Amber's walking on into Dead Rabbit and that sounds a little lecturer Sound like we were cackling here.
Amber' in. Amber, you're going to be our captain or pilot this episode. If you guys can't support Patreon, that's totally fine. I totally get it.
Just helps spread the word about the show. That really, really, really helps out a lot. I'm going to go ahead and toss you the hair hang glider. Let's go ahead and climb up the highest point in Dead Rabbit Command.
Grab onto Amber's ankle. She's going to fly us all the way out to a veil game competition place where that's. I don't know if there's an arrays or something. Online competitive video games.
It's a bunch of people sitting shoulder to shoulder on their computers. But apparently people are saying it's a real sport. It's a real sport because like you compete. You can open this point of my voice.
Unless I live video games. I don't consider online competitive video games. It's. It's something.
I don't know if I would call it a sport, but who cares? Really? Who cares? You're unsubscribing podcasts like, oh, no, no, I agree with you.
You think it is. Listen, I love video games. I love Roger Ebert. When Roger Ebert was like, video games aren't art, I was like, okay, that's cool.
I love Roger Ebert and I love video games. And I really don't care what his viewpoint is regarding this. Sometimes I'm waking tears away like, oh, Roger Ebert. You know what I mean?
Like, who cares? Who cares what this one dude? And who cares if it's art or not? Like that doesn't change the fact that I like playing Minecraft, whether or not it's artistic or anything like that.
So the fact that I'm not a huge fan of the competitive video game, I think it's awesome, right? They're playing the games. But I've never understood this huge push to get recognized as a real sport. Like, dude, we were on espn.
I was like, yes, so is like shuffleboard and stuff. But there was recently this post online by this guy known as Stop Lurkers. I say recently this actually about four months ago he posted this thing and really his thesis statement was all professional first person shooter gamers and streamers are cheating. They're all cheating.
And it's super fascinating because we have a whole thing of cheating going on right now in the media. We have a young woman who's being accused of cheating at poker. I'll put all these links in the show notes. We have those guys who recently got caught putting weights into their like a competitive fish people.
They're not like who can swim the farest to Atlantis. They're catching fish. They're fishermen. That's the term.
And they were weigh. I guess the way it works is you catch a bunch of fish and you throw it in a milk crate and they weigh it and whoever has the fattest fish wins. Well, these two knuckleheads where these guys actually got caught, the young one playing poker and the young man who we did an episode on him where he supposedly had anal beads that were sending him very, very pleasurable coded messages to let them know how to play chess. The fish guys were caught.
That's right. So they actually been slicing these guys fish open and pulling out these huge light weights. So we know for a fact they were cheating. And then just as I was getting ready to record this, just like a couple of minutes ago, I came across an article by.
Okay, to be fair, this is the Daily Star, which is a tabloid read from Britain, but cheating scandal rocks. Irish dancing. So apparently there's this big Irish Dancing competition still on a sport. Still not a sport competition, only one.
But anyways, they're saying like the people running the competition, to be fair, to be fair, I skimmed this article, right? Like this is literally minutes, words and recording this, it turns out possibly allegedly that this group, they were the judges were banging the hot dancers. Not the, not the ugly ones, not the only ones. They're like, oh, you're gonna have to be based on merit alone.
Let's see how good of a dancer you are. This is an allegation. So I will be. I will put the article in the show notes, but I won't say the name of the competition.
But anyways, yeah, we're all over the place again. This is totally legit and it's in the Daily Start, so there's nothing of any shock, right? Other fishing people on the subject. So it shouldn't come that there's any shock that they'd be doing this in competitive video game as well.
And this guy, Stop Lurkers, he says, listen. He goes, he's. He's obviously not going to out himself, but he said he is in the top 2000. I've never been able to pronounce his game right.
Valorant. Valorant or Valorant, it's one of the two. He's a top 2000 player in this game. And he goes, I don't use hacks.
I personally don't use hacks, but I understand how the hacks are being used at this level. And he actually is able to get. He basically has a one man undercover investigation. He is able to get a hack for Valorant that even though they use this thing called Vanguard, right, that is supposedly supposed to detect cheats.
He goes, I got a name bot and it's been completely undetectable. I've been using it for two weeks and no one's ever been able to prove that I've been using it. And it's interesting because he goes, these at a professional level is what he's saying. He goes, when you're talking about competitive pros and when you're talking about people who are streaming and they're streaming, they're the best of the best, right?
He goes, it's super easy for them to get these undetectable hacks. He goes, if I can do it and I'm only in the top 2000, then who's to say the top 100 players aren't doing it or even the top 10 because you need to keep that rank. And he starts to say, he goes, listen, when you Go to the competitive place. When you get into the competitive gaming, they can check for hacks.
But what you didn't know any of this stuff, you can install the hacks apparently on your mouse dongle, on your little wireless mouse hub thing, you put your little USB and you're basically even have the hacks in that so your computer will be clean. I know what you think, that's not even how it works. But he's saying like there are way, let's put this way, there are workarounds. So you wouldn't, they wouldn't be detectable on the computer themselves.
You would actually have them installed in the wireless mouse USB thing, the jitter. And you can have that Aimbot. And he goes, listen, because one person would do what everyone would do because these people are pulling off million dollar moves all day long. It just wouldn't work that way.
And the common defense, right when someone says something about a streamer or competitive player that you love, you go, well they're so good they don't have to cheat. They wouldn't have to cheat because they work their way up. And I've watched them play for years and years and years, they won't have to cheat. There's a really cool YouTube channel by this guy named Carl Jops and really all he does is expose cheaters.
He also does some cool speedrun stuff where he analyzes speed runs. But he's been making kind of career lately of exposing cheaters and he did this big video about dream the Minecraft guy who got exposed for cheating or you know, he got alleged he had cheated and then it kind of turns out he kind of confessed to. It took a while, but he kind of confessed it was an accident, he actually cheated. But Carl jokes go, the common defense is this guy so good have to cheat.
He goes, no, that's not the way worse. He goes, you get so good, the pressure gets so much for you to be the best that you, you do cheat because you can't be the best and then have just like a run of bad luck or you're just having all these streams that are just not doing those million dollar plays. So the pressure, it's more like I put words in. Carl Josephson didn't actually say this, but it's more likely you'll cheat at a certain level.
You may cheat in the beginning and that's kind of the thing. But the people who just buy the hacks, the people who get these really low budget hacks or these free hacks, they get caught right away. So you get a bunch of scrubs that get caught right away. Then you have the middle of the pack, players that are playing legit.
But as you get better and better, the competition gets higher and higher and higher. You start to go, how did you pull that shot off? How did you get that shot? At this point you're like a pro am, right?
You're pro amateur. I think that's actually a boring term. I don't think pro am is a real gaming term. But anyways, you get to the point where somebody can approach you and say, hey, I can get you the red hatch.
All the people who are playing against is running these super subtle aimbots. And you know, for $5,000 you can have access to that too. Very, very fascinating expose aim against one guy's investigation. Is it true?
Is it sour grapes? We don't know. He hasn't identified himself. We just don't know.
But it's interesting. And I don't want to spend this whole time just talking about the science of cheating, but I want to have this detail in as well before we go to the next part where what is cheating is messing with the metaphysical order of things cheating, which I think is very fascinating. But there's been a recent. Again, this is not an allegation.
This has been proven. And it hasn't fully hit the world of podcasting yet. It turns out there's a big X because they'll put it in the show notes here. What it turns out is some of the biggest podcasts have been.
This is cheating. This is full on cheating. Some of the biggest podcasts out there, some of the big podcast networks have been taking episodes. And this is hundreds of thousands of downloads.
Hundreds of thousands of episodes have been downloaded this way. What they're doing is they're working with mobile gaming apps, those games on your phone that are saying like, hey, if you want to earn more diamonds, you want to earn more energy, watch this ad. What they've been doing, this is more than just a few podcasts. This is going to really impact the whole industry.
They've been embedding episodes into those mobile games. So you click on it and it'll play 30 seconds of a podcast while you're waiting. There's usually that time you have to watch so much of the ad before you get your reward. But what happens is the entire episode of podcast gets downloaded, gets played out, even if you only listen to the 30 seconds, then click X to get your rewards.
They've been doing this. Hundreds of thousands of downloads. At the very least, to inflate their numbers for advertisers. And people are going, whoa.
So you told us you were getting 10 million downloads on your podcast network, but how many of those were on the ad? How many of those were this gaming ad thing? And the company so far it said, well, listen, we played the first 30 seconds, maybe they sat, stop playing their game and listened to the podcast for a full hour. We don't know.
We don't know. They may have. That's cheating. That's totally cheating the system, right?
You're giving them 30 seconds, an hour long podcast, you're counting it as a whole hour play. So you go to your advertisers and say, we get 10 million downloads a month spread across all these different podcasts. They don't. That's cheating.
And cheating. The thing that always irritates people about cheating, whether you're a podcaster like myself or fisherman or a video game, said most people play by the rules. Because I, I would never even thought about doing that. Even if I had the money and the access to that app.
I never would have done anything like that. Because, listen, I've had the opportunity. There's a lot of paranormal youtubers specifically. I mean, all youtubers have done this.
I should say a lot of youtubers have done this. But there have. Well, I should say there have been allegations about paranormal YouTubers who buy subscribers and buy views on their episodes. On their YouTube episodes.
Because I come across that just specifically in the paranormal YouTube world. And I've access logs. I don't use that stuff. I don't want to use that stuff where you're basically inflating it to the point that then YouTube, the algorithm goes, oh, 10,000 people like this episode and we're gonna push it to another 30,000 people.
I don't want to do that, right? I don't want to cheat like that. I don't want to buy plays on Spotify or plays on YouTube, even though I know my competitors do. I think most people who are playing video games, even if they know their competitors are using a bots, they don't want using bots.
Obviously, the temptations there, you know, we have pro football players who are tempted to cheat and some fall prey to it, right? Some people actually fall prey. But what I find interest is I can easily put myself in that ivory tower and say, I'm gonna buy views on YouTube, even though I have the cash to do it and I have the access and other websites that go to and other people to contact. I want to do that.
But yet it's very interesting because I was thinking about this. I would not stick lead weights in a fish. I would not stick anal beads up in the butthole to win chess. I would not buy YouTube views or buy podcast subscribers, even though that would definitely help the channel.
However, I've stated multiple times on the show that I use the law of attraction to boost my show. Right. I have spent decades researching. I don't talk a lot about magic on this show.
I made comments about, oh, you know, I used to kind of dabble in stuff in college, and I believe that magic is real and stuff like that. I don't talk about it a lot on this podcast, right? Because it sounds, to be honest, the reason why it sounds completely insane. Even the stuff that I talk about, even my personal experiences, if I'm like.
And then with my wizard tats that I named Esmeralda, I went on a whimsical event. I don't talk about it. That's not true. Wizard.
Dat in as a. There's a certain point where you go, okay, now you're saying something that's totally insane. The episode I did a long time ago about the angel visiting me on my birthday, that took a long time. That took a long time to tell on the podcast because this story is clearly insane.
This story is the ramblings of a madman. And then the story about the time I went to hell, right? I think that was. That was like 6, 700, 800 episodes into the podcast, into this very personal relationship that I haven't telling you these stories.
And even I was like, probably. I don't know if. I didn't know if I was ever gonna tell that story, right? The Lost Summer.
I've never told that story. Nobody I've ever. I've never told the Lost Summer story to anybody. I made a vague reference.
I think it was at the end of the angel episode. And for a while, people are emailing me going, hey, when are you gonna tell the Lost Summer? I don't ever tell the Lost Summer story. It's just so weird and it's funny.
I feel like I'm building it up because it's. When you step back here, it's one of the stories that doesn't have an ending, right? There was no big climax in the end. It was just this period of time in my life that it was so weird and so on the edge of what is real and what isn't.
That's not so I feel super comfortable talking about. I've never told anyone about last Summer, the last summer, I think, when I first moved up to Oregon, I made one or two big references to close friends of mine, and that was it. But I'm saying all that stuff because I studied magic and I looked into all of these, like, even, like, it's so funny because I think of the law of attraction as kind of separate from magic, but it's pretty much the same thing. Even when you're looking at low magic, which is witchcraft versus high magic, which is ritual magic.
Right. I didn't really. I wasn't really aware of the law of attraction in that state. Right.
Knowing the law, attraction, the secret and stuff like that, it's basically the same thing. It basically is your intent on the universe. You're. You're warping reality to your view of it.
And so I've studied the law of attraction a lot recently, like in the past 10 years. And then before that, I was really looking into the mechanics of ritual magic and how low magic works and how all of this stuff does. And I, you know, had my adventures with my hobbit and dwarf friends. We'll leave it at that.
But I. Is that cheating? Is that. Is that cheating for me?
Is that like a metaphysical Aimbot? Because basically, on the one hand, there's no. I don't wanna say there's no skill involved, but like, is it cheating? Because what happens is, yes, I'm going up against people who buy YouTube reviews and YouTube subscribers, and I'm going up against people who are part of these podcast networks that are buying, like, they're downloading episodes when no one's there to listen to them.
That's my competition. Right. And I could go there cheating over here. I'm reshaping reality.
And at the end of the day, I'm not playing on a level playing field either, am I? If somebody started a podcast at the same time that I did, and a lot of them have shut down, it's fine. It's just kind of like a college class, like the class of 2018. A lot of the podcasts that popped up around the same time mine has, they've shut down.
Imagine if one of those other podcasts. Because everyone's competing for listeners, right? Imagine if one of these other podcasts out there, we're both doing. Not the exact same topic, but we're both putting out episodes on a regular basis.
We're trying to put out quality episodes. We're getting word out about our show, we're doing online marketing. And then I'm hovering three feet above my bed with A Sony Norb. Like, am I playing by the rules?
The whole idea of the law of attraction, metaphysical magic, manipulation, the three M's is you are not playing by the rules. You're actually reshaping the rules. You're making the rules fit you. So is that cheating?
Am I cheating by using those tools that I've accessed? And I think the answer to that, because it's me, I don't want to think I'm a cheater. I could say I'm not. But I think anyone else who had like a understanding of the law of attraction, stuff like that, they may go, maybe, right, maybe you might be cheating.
And I think about existence like, you don't exist anymore. You don't exist in my reality. They're fading anyway. I don't know, like, where does the line drop?
Because that's. Those are skills and knowledge that I've learned. I would compare to someone who's just gotten really, really good at video games, but to somebody else, they go, no, no, what you're doing is actually like reality. The other guy just downloaded a program that makes his mouse, his little red hole, move quicker on the screen.
You're shifting reality. I think there's a clear difference. I find it fascinating. There is a big debate.
I don't think it's a debate. I don't think I've ever met anyone who disagrees with the statement. But in the magic community, in the community of magic users there, it's pretty much a solid agreement. Using love spells on people is akin to raping them because you are casting a spell on them for them to fall in love with you.
And if you have sex with them, you rape them. I've never met anyone that goes, well, you know, it depends, because it doesn't. You're putting. You're shifting things within their psyche, within the environment around them.
You're actually warping reality and you're creating this scenario and you're changing the way that it brings things. You're putting a spell on them. If you have sex with them to break. So if.
If that is true, then if I'm using. I don't use magic. Just so we're totally clear, I'm not casting spells to. I realize that I probably have to clear it.
I'm not casting spells for. Promote the podcast. That's not true. But I do use a lot of attraction.
I've been very clear on that. I use a law of attraction on this podcast, right? I try to create these pathways where people can discover it. I don't make people like it.
I was wondering why. I was wondering why. Still in this podcast, even though I hate it, I just try to create a reality where people can access it or people stumble across it. People put in a Google search and one of my episodes comes up.
Or one of you guys, one of my mind controlled zombies. You know what I mean? Like, I, I. The show is recommended to them.
Like, I try to create this reality in my mind. Like, I visualize people going, man, I sure am bored. I wonder. There's a daily paranormal podcast I listen to and they say it out loud in the library and someone turns around and goes, well, shucks, I know the perfect show.
Dead Rabbit Radio. The daily paranormal podcast. It's like, you know, law of Attraction, right? You have to visualize these things happening.
I feel like it's worked, right? The show is really big and I appreciate you guys. Like, despite, despite my sorcery on the other end, it's. I don't.
It still requires people to go, I like the show. And to tune in. Like, I'm not, let's be clear, I'm not using magic to promote the show. And I'm not mind control.
I'm not mind controlling you. I can promise you that. But the idea of going back, like, by using the law of attraction, am I cheating? Is that any different than buying views on YouTube?
I personally think it is, but I can understand why someone who doesn't. Who believes in law of attraction but doesn't know how to put it to implement it. I can totally see them being like, you definitely have a leg up. You definitely have a leg up.
Considering I hover three feet above my bed as I'm visualizing the success of this podcast. I have both legs up. But, no, it's interesting. And this cheating stuff, I think we're almost going to see a huge reckoning because we're just getting these cheating articles over and over and over again, which is good.
I like to see cheaters exposed. If using magic is cheating, then, I don't know, maybe they'll expose me. Maybe just kind of like, move on to the next guy. Move on to the next.
We're paying for views. Why are you picking on me? I'm just a gentle wizard. Amber, let's go ahead and toss you the keys at the Carpenter Copter.
We are leaving behind this video game conference. Fly us all the way out to Dire Lane. It's funny, you might have noticed this episode's kind of swept. This episode's kind of put together pretty quickly.
I actually love both of these stories. But my original episode I was going to do just had so many dead kids. And I didn't plan it that way. I didn't set out to have a bunch of dead children in one episode.
But it happens, right? I had a story about a father holding his bleeding daughter in the middle of winter. Terrible story. I mean, it's actually a cool story, but it's terrible event.
Then I had a story about an entire school just exploding one day, just blew up. And it's an interesting story. It's true, it's tragic. And I remember I was getting ready to record it and I go, bro, it's Friday.
This is Friday's episode. No one's gonna have another episode until Monday. I usually try to put it. If you guys haven't figured it out, usually try to put my true crime in the middle of the week so I don't totally bum you out.
Ghost all the time. And people have to die to be a ghost. There's too many dead kids for one day. Even an ancient sorcerer as myself knows that there's too many dead kids for one day.
So I decided, you know what? Let's go back to Dire Lane. Let's go back to the place. I wouldn't say that where it all started, but I've definitely done on the ground, ghost investigations at Dire Lane, Dire Lane, all the other episodes in the show.
Notes. But Dire Lane is a road in El Verda, which is in, like, an unincorporated part of Sacramento. It's over by Watt Avenue in the area of Antelope. You're shaking your head, Jason.
I don't know where it's at. I live in the middle of India. Even if you gave me directions, I couldn't find it. Well, I'll put show notes in.
You can look it up on Google Earth. I won't give you specific street directions, but it is this road. It's so interesting because it's a road in the middle of nowhere, but it's connected to one of the busiest roads in Sacramento. The second you turn left onto Dyer Lane off of Watt Avenue.
I could be in a little goofy right here, but it's like you're all driving through the middle of Idaho, and it's spooky house after spooky house and long stretches of open field. This is the place where I found a pair of burnt pants. And my friends thought I got possessed by a murder victim. I'll put that up there.
A lot of fun memories at Dire Lane. And I've always been fascinated because back when I was out doing ghost hunts in this area. The Internet was around, but it was nowhere near what it is today. Like, I was doing this stuff back in, like, 98, 99, right.
Maybe to the early 2000s. So, I mean, like, the Internet was there. We could go and we could download photos of Sam, show Geller, and you'd actually watch each line go. Not to print them out.
Not to print them out, just to download them. It took a while. So this whole idea of people putting, like, spooky stories online or people, like, cataloging ghost investigations, that didn't exist back then, but now it actually looked. Wow.
Dire Lane had a huge reputation in the area. And to this day, people are still investigating. People are still going out there. Let's take a look at this story right here.
This is one that I hadn't heard until fairly recently. This is the story of the witches of Dyer Lane. Sometimes it's referred to as Dyer's Lane. That's what we always called it.
Let's go back to the year 1932. I actually was hunted to do a pretend witch incantation, but I forgot I'm in Han closet, and I'd probably rather not summon some dark beasts behind me. It's 1932 in Alberta. There's a covenant witches that start meeting out there.
And trust me, if you want to have a coven of anything, this is the best place to have it. When I was hanging out, the reputation was it was where all the Klans hung out. Like, not the Scottish dudes. The Ku Klux Klan went there to hang out.
And, I mean, it is a place. I'm not recommending TripAdvisor for the KKK to show up out there, but if you were going to have a covert meeting of anybody, you could do it out here because it's, like, easy road access. And then you're gone. Like, you can totally disappear back there.
So a covenant witches meeting back there in 1932, I could totally see that happening. There were six of them, and they would meet here on a regular basis. And they were doing this for about two years. So this had become a home to them.
Not like there's like, little witch's hut with, like, you know, thatched roofs and stuff like that. They probably lived in raven houses. But then they came out here to practice their skills, to work on their Wiccan workshop magic. But by the year 1934, rumors had started to spread about what was going on out here.
And a group of boys decided to follow them out to Dire Lane because not only would it be the perfect place to do what you wanted without anyone seeing you, like a group of witches. It would also be the perfect place to go out there and do what you wanted to without anyone seeing you, like a group of criminals. So these four boys, they go out there and they attack the witches. Now, not as exciting as that sentence was.
There was no wand of magic. They didn't get on their brooms and fly away. Unfortunately, when true crime and paranormal collide, true crime tends to win, right? That's just no matter what we think of the world, of the metaphysical, magical world around us.
When four boys track these women down, they assault the women. They assault two of the women, they drag them to the ground. The other four take off running because they know that there's an immediate threat of what's going on in this area. What happens is the four witches, they actually leave the scene.
The two witches left behind are both murdered by this group of guys. One is strangled and the other one is able to get up and starts running away, running for her life at this point because she just saw one of her friends get killed in front of her. And one of these dudes picks up a rock and throws it hits her in the back of the head and kills her as well. And then a chain of events happens where you would think that maybe there was some level of magic, or at least what we would think of as a curse laid on these young men.
Now, we don't have any ages for these guys. I keep saying boys, it's not like they're 10 years old. We're assuming like late teens, early 20s, and things like that. But anyways, one of them is hit by a truck.
About three weeks later, he's ran over. Four months later, another guy's visiting la. He gets mugged. Curses.
Just visiting la. He's down in Los Angeles. He gets mugged a stabbed in the stomach and bleeds to death in the middle of the street. At a later date, one of the other young men was swimming in the Sacramento River.
He drowned. And then finally I'm like, you have pick your choice out of these four. Hit by a truck, stabbed to death, bleeding out in the middle of la. I was drowning in the river.
Or this fourth one, he was kind of enjoyable. He was seen. That's kind of fun. He was skiing down a hill, slam into a tree and bashed his head open.
But I mean, if you're gonna go out, go out fast, go out hard, right? That's what I always say. Don't just fly on the water. If you find yourself about to drown, look for a waterfall to go off of.
So these four young men are dead. So you would think, okay, two witches murdered. Four men killed by spirits from beyond in revenge. You figure, you know, the ledger is while not completely balanced out because these guys were perpetrators and victims were victims.
You know, they didn't ask for any of us. You think everything would kind of settle down. But in 1946, we're back on Dyer Lane, out in dire Lane. In 1946, there was a former known as John Wilkinson who was out farming his land driving distractor.
He was making those noises. The tractor was perfectly shut off. He'd like to sit in the distractor and go. He sees out in the middle of field two sexy ghosts, sees these two women just kind of going, come here, Johnny boy, come here.
Look at us. Look how sexy and translucent we are. He jumps off his tractor, he starts walking over to them and he's like staring at these two seductive women. And the tractor mysteriously starts by itself and runs them over, crushes him, kills him on spot.
What's interesting about that story is things interesting, right? We have killer witches and stuff like that. What's interesting about that story is how. What were the witnesses to that event?
We have one witness, but he got killed by a tractor. Like, how did they know he saw sexy ghosts? If I got right, let's put me in the scenario. If I was sitting on a tractor and I saw some sexy ghosts, yes.
I would have cut off the tractor and I would walk towards the ghost. That's true. But if the tractor then came to life, it didn't come to life. It just started up and ran me over.
And then my son came up and go, pah, pa. What happened? My last words aren't going to be, well, Sonic saw some sexy ghosts and I had to get in front of this tractor. You know what I mean?
Like, how would they know that part of. How would anyone know that part of the story? Obviously there would have been no witness would have been able to see that. At the very least, they see a guy get off the tractor, walk in front of it, and then the tractor malfunction run over.
How would they know he saw a sexy ghost? Well, there's pretty much only one way you could know that, and that would be if you contacted his spirit using a Ouija board or spirit box or medium or something like that. And that is where we're gonna end this episode and take a look at a group called Halo Paranormal Investigations. This is a group that.
Listen, man, I love local paranormal groups, right? It's dope. These guys are really just really cool. And it's so funny.
Here's an update on a couple episodes last week. I think even one this week. I was talking about a group called enam paranormal that seemed to go defunct. And I said, you know, it sucks because a lot of times these paranormal groups do a bunch of investigations and then they break up or they can't pay their hosting fees and their website goes down.
Everything like that. I ended up contacting the head of a nan paranormal to ask what was going on. Sure enough, they couldn't pay their hosting fees. Their website went down.
Well, it's back up. They were able to get a couple bucks scratched together and get their website back up. And so that's cool. I'll put another link in the show notes to their website.
But here's just like local on the ground ghost investigations guys do that stuff. It's a lot of fun. And here we have this group called halo paranormal investigations. And they're the ones who reporting this whole story about the witches of dire Lane.
And it's so funny because the guy who set up is a guy named Paul Dale Roberts, who proclaims himself as the disco king of Sacramento. And I almost feel like it's a whole other episode to go into this guy's life story. He went from being, according to him, right? He went from training members of delta force.
He went from that. Then he ended up infiltrating an underground drug ring in Germany. And to completely be undercover, he had to learn disco TO eventually, in 1979, he became the disco king of Sacramento. I didn't know.
I was looking into that. And I go, okay, what is so funny? I didn't know what was more unbelievable, the fact that he trained the 101st Airborne, 82nd Airborne, and the army special forces, or he was the disco king. Apparently.
He and I did. I did fact check this. I couldn't fact check whether or not sexy witches killed this man, but he's in the gamespot world records for the longest disco dancing. 205 hours straight.
I don't know. Fascinating character. We might look more into him because his life story just seems completely bizarre. But the reason why I want to talk about witches of dire lane is for a couple reasons.
One, I didn't want to talk about dead kids. Talk about a couple murdered women like that. It's much better. I don't even want to talk about a bunch of kids next week.
It's not like I'm never Going to do an episode. I just didn't want to do it on Friday. It'll pop up on Tuesday, Wednesday, next week. It's coming.
But I also, when I was reading about this group, I thought, you know what? It's Halloween. And I know that a lot of you guys. Cause I get you guys emails, right?
I get you guys emails. I talk to you guys on the discord. I talk to you guys through the YouTube comments when those are still around. I know a lot of you guys, sometimes you get lonely.
Sometimes I get lonely, right? Sometimes I get lonely. Sometimes you get lonely because I get these emails. My heart, you know, obviously feels for you because I know that feeling.
I want to propose something I know in the middle of the 90 days, go better. You challenge and hope that's going great for you. It's going great for me. I'll give you nothing on that.
But why don't you start a local ghost hunting group? I'm telling you, I've talked about this so many times on the show, guys, and I'm telling you, it won't backfire. I can say at least that I know that sometimes things can seem that you are alone, right? That you don't have a lot of friends out there or you have friends, but everyone's just too busy to get together and all this stuff.
Why don't you start a local ghost hunting group? Put an ad out on my Craigslist or put a couple flyers up. Listen, you will have a blast. I really think you would have so much fun if you started a local ghost hunting group.
I have a bunch more stuff to talk about on this podcast that I know. Ulterior motive, but I think because a lot of these ghost hang groups like Ann Paranormal and Halo Paranormal Investigations, they're always posting these photos. It's an outdoorsy thing, right? You go outside, there's a couple people.
A lot of these groups aren't organic. They're not an existing group of friends who start doing this. They meet each other and they become friends. So if you're not currently doing the 90 days to a Barrier Challenge, if you're currently not really doing much and you regret that, like, I enjoy not doing anything.
This podcast takes up the bulk of my time. I get one night off a week. I don't have to do anything. I don't read anything at all.
I get one night a week. But if you want to do something, if you're looking for something to do, if you feel like, you know what, I'm just, I'm bored And I'm lonely. I'm telling you guys, start a paranormal group. It will be so much fun.
You'll meet like minded people, you'll go on adventures. You might get killed by a bunch of witches, right? Let's be honest. You might get killed by a bunch of witches, you might go into a haunted house and a demon richer gets out.
That might be happening. But I think you have so much fun. I know I had a lot of fun doing ghost hunting when I was younger. Just think about it.
That's really. I want to talk about the story one because I thought it was kind of creepy. It's a location I'm personally familiar with. We have these witches that may still be out there, right?
So if you're currently driving to a tractor, listen to this podcast. Be careful. But also I wanted to. I just think that'd be so cool.
I really do. I was thinking about that today when I was like, what can I do instead of dead kids? And I go, that I would. I mean, think about it.
What happens with this podcast, where this podcast goes, who knows? But if I could give birth to a hundred ghost hunting organizations around the world, maybe they're only around for a couple months, maybe they're around for a couple years, that would be awesome. What a great legacy that would be. And I think it'd be a lot of fun for you guys as well.
Just part of a flyer, see where that adventure takes you. At the very least, you know, maybe you sit around with your buddies, your new buddies, right? These people you met with this like minded interest and sit around their pub or something like that, talk about spooky stories, talk about stuff better than most. You guys may go on a ghost hunting adventure, driving around your area, breaking haunted houses, raining haunted houses, climbing over cemetery fences, being chased by security.
Maybe not that far, maybe that far in furious adventure. But think about it. Really think about it. When I was thinking about what to do for this show, I go, I would like to have my Friday episode be encouraging.
Not a dead child in sight. I wanted to be encouraging. Really? Think about starting your own paranormal group in your area.
Sure, you may not be the self proclaimed disco king of Sacramento, but follow up. That's a pretty good cycle, right? That's better title than I am. I just think it'd be fun.
I think it'd be fun and maybe, maybe like a bit. You don't have to start tomorrow, but during the spookiest month of the year, think about it, think about starting paranormal group. It would make me super proud if like a year or two now I started getting emails from these little groups all over the world saying, hey, you really inspired me. That story you did about those women who were assaulted really inspired me to become a ghost.
And I think that'd be awesome. That would really, really make all of this worth it. They really wouldn't. Therapy gmail.com is on your email address.
