Haunted Wyoming

In the dead of night as people sleep, that is when the spirits creep. As the bell tolls three dark things take power, we like to call it the supernatural hour. Hey, this is your host Raven, welcome to the Supernatural Hour. This is Chad.

This is Moon. And I'm Whiskey. So this podcast might be a little rough. Whiskey almost died of the plague.

I have a really bad headache. Moon had a really bad headache. And Chad, you doing okay? I'm just Chad.

Okay, I've been trying to, it's finals. It's coming up in about three weeks and I've got papers coming out my ears. So just keep that in mind as he listens to the rest of this podcast. None of us are really on top of our evening.

Not a hundred percent. Para normal symptom paper coming out of your year. Alright. Well, our program is brought to you by Castle Photo Art.

Castle does a great job with all sorts of things. He does landscapes. He does things that you can go out to his website and get stuff. Or you can have him do photo shoots for engagement pictures, weddings, graduations, all those kinds of things.

He doesn't work out. Yeah, I've already talked about doing my graduation pictures this spring. And you'll have a raven with a full brain again. Woo.

Woo. Also, we speak at the other people. It's in the latter chat. What was that?

It was just a very quiet, I don't think. No, I told people about where this started calling me Sudakris. Just because the blatant amount of Suda fed up and on. But you know, it makes me feel like life's in slow motion.

So he said it was peak night collowers. So I haven't taken it yet for this podcast. So listeners, you're welcome. We're encouraging everybody to give to the tough food bank or your food bank or sub percent of your choice.

And we don't have any public events until the first part of January where we will have a couple of fun things coming up that we're looking into. Yes, some other things you can do is gather up some clothes to take to a homeless shelter, blankets, oddly enough, one of the things that homeless shelters don't get as much of, but really, really need our sock. So enjoy spending time with your family and the holidays and all the fun things that come with things giving you Christmas and everything that you celebrate, Hanukkah, everything. Like, don't, I'm not going to name them all because I'll leave something out and then someone will be sad and make you get the idea.

And we will see you all in January. That doesn't mean we're not doing stuff though. We're just doing team stuff, secret team stuff. Absolutely.

We actually have a lot of team stuff. And I think something that might be fun is maybe in December or early January before we get a public hunt, maybe to a movie meetup with anybody that's listening that would like to come and meet us somewhere and go see a movie. So we'll talk about that, see if we can figure out when that might work out well and watch that because we might do that. It's got to be fun.

So if you've been listening for like the time, especially recently, we are kind of doing an off again, on again, most haunted in your state. We're going to hit all 50 states at some point. We're not doing them all in a row because there's so much stuff we want to talk about. But this particular podcast, we want to talk about the most haunted in Wyoming.

If you want to hear your state in it, we haven't done it yet. Feel free to shoot us a text and we will do it sooner than later. But today we're going to talk about Wyoming. And as I got looking and researching Wyoming, I don't know what you guys found, but there were a lot of hotels, a ton of hotels.

So if you're familiar with Wyoming and a haunted hotel, we're not going to just do hotel after hotel after hotel. We're just going to do a little bit of a bigger variety. So we're going to do one or two hotels, I think, one for sure. And we're going to see, I know that you know some stuff about the hotel that we're going to talk about.

And lots of stuff and things about the Oxidone Hotel in Buffalo, Wyoming. It is a famous old West Hotel built in 1880. It's hosted a lot of figures such as Buffalo Bill, Teddy Roosevelt, which Cassidy, I love you for those people, very minor influential people in history. It retains his period of core, complete with anti-furniture and classic Western features, offering modern amenities, which sounds literally like the perfect place to hunt.

It has really old stuff there and the new bathrooms, which is honestly, I like the silver queen in Carson City. It's more than I could ask for at this point. You know, we've been locked in unfinished basement, some buildings and that sounds fabulous, all the old stuff. And it's kind of like a museum.

Museum on is really good for that reason too. On site, they have a saloon and a restaurant that you live music and you know, you get some of that classic Western hospitality. But I know that all sounds fine in any great tourism spot and you're asking yourself, Whiskey, why are we talking about this? That's just, it's a paranormal podcast.

It also has a haunted reputation. Around the early 1900s, paranormal activity started being noted at the Occidental during its time as a Bordello, a young woman died on the upper floor. Since then, her ghost, seen with long dark hair and wearing a white dress, has been spotted by guests. The shelter tapping on their shoulder, seeing her moving luggage, which sounds helpful.

Or, yeah, exactly. Or experienced lights flickering, which, you know, remodeling, who knows, maybe shoddy work as a murder down. So maybe not others have heard strange laughter echoing through the halls. This paranormal history has led some people to claim that the Occidental hotel is the most haunted spot in all of Wyoming.

But we've got a lot of other spots to talk about. So we'll see about that. But two reasons to go, honestly, it sounds really cool if you like old cowboy stuff and also haunted. I can't not go anymore.

Right. Well, and one thing I have noticed is I haven't been back. I was born raised in Utah and, you know, I've traveled a lot around the West because it's closer than the East, obviously. And I know that sounds really dumb, but hey, I'm heading to work with me.

But you get into these old little Western towns or mining towns or the cowboy towns, Western towns, and they are really cool. Just even mean ghosts, obviously, are cool. We're definitely going to go where the ghosts are. But just to walk up and down the street and to see the history of the town.

And there's things we've gone to old towns before, before the ghost tenting. And I have learned so much stuff just about the city. And I just, I love history. I love old stuff.

So I think it's just cool to walk up and down the streets and see what there is there. Oh, I'm saying it's like an eight hour drive from us. So road trip next summer. Question mark.

Yeah. So where's Buffalo by? We're located in the state. You know, it is in the northern part of the state, nor it's like almost center northern slightly east kind of by Delta.

Or it is near the big or national force, like right at the base of that. Okay. It'd be like an hour from the border to Montana. I've all known that one.

I couldn't tell you haven't driven it. No, I'm fairly familiar with quite a bit of Wyoming. I had an aunt and uncle live up there and cousins that are up there and in the buildings area. But I just hadn't heard of Buffalo.

I've heard of many of the other places. And we've been to several of these places that are on this list that are a little farther west. But I wasn't familiar where the occetental was. You said Buffalo and I'm going.

I'm pretty familiar with a lot of them along the western corridor. But as I get further east, I haven't been out there too much. It is actually just looking at it on the map. I looked up Devil's Tower and you were pretty close actually from where that is to where it is.

You have to kind of drive through Buffalo to get to there. So that and you think about it. I mean, Wyoming only has a population of half a million people. So I can't imagine that there would be too many old towns.

So they're probably not like out of reservations. Right. All right. So we're not going to talk about these, but some of the other hotels, there's the Irma Hotel and Cody.

Chad and I have actually been to Cody. There's one place we will tell you not to eat it or the name of it. It was awful. It was supposedly a steakhouse and we were looking for a good steak.

Because Cody, Wyoming, you think you'd get a good steak? It was like shoe leather. It was awful. We're not throwing every steakhouse in Cody, Wyoming under the bus.

But we wish we could tell you which one it was because it was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. It was white. Don't go on the white one. In all fairness, it was a Sunday.

A lot of things are closed. It was like one of the only things open. Okay. Moving on.

So the Irma Hotel and Cody, there's the historic Plains Hotel, which is in Cheyenne, but we're not going to talk about those. We got things that aren't hotels. So the next one that we're going to discuss, Chad and I have been there. We actually have a couple of times.

Yeah. We've been there twice. We've talked about it a little bit on the podcast before, but we're going to talk about it a little more in depth. Yeah.

In 2017-ish, and I could be a little wrong on that date, but in that time period, the apps team actually took a trip out to the Shining Hotel in what's it called? Colorado? Yeah, it's in Colorado. Yeah, it's called Colorado.

That's the park. And is it Stanley Hotel? The Stanley Hotel. Oh, yes, yes.

And it was really awesome. But to break up the trip, we stopped at the Rollins territorial frontier prison out there, and it's quite an adventure. It was quite an experience. They have a nice tour area.

They've got a gift shop and those kinds of things, but then they take you through and you can go through. We went through with the kids in just a regular tour, in a tour group, and that was interesting. We did that in 2020. And that was funny.

That's the one Raven and I talked about where they wouldn't let us sit in the execution guest chamber chair because of COVID, but we could all handle the same rail going up and down. You all have to hold on to the railing. Everyone holds on to the railing. We don't want anyone to fall down, which I think is amazing because they wanted us to be safe, but we couldn't sit in the gas chamber because other people would sit out there.

That was beyond my brain. But when we investigated there, it's interesting. You're where the cells are, and it's just exactly what you'd imagine. There's just these long, long rows of empty cells, two stories, sometimes three.

And we got a lot of activity there. We really did. And I think most of our activity was upstairs, not in the gas chamber area, but adjacent to it. There was a very, very angry spirit that was up there.

And I know that Osteopentra has been there. I'm sure other shows have been there, but it was very active. And as any old prison, there's going to be all sorts of negative energy from spirits that the things they've done to get in prison. There's always going to be the few people that are there.

Murders that have happened inside of the prison. And other things besides murders, the people that are there wrongly accused, they're going to have the people that were executed there. I mean, it's just rife. It's ripe for paranormal activity.

And there was a lot of it there. There was actually a whole section there where they had some female inmates. They were more in kind of a, not so much cells, more of a room rooms. A little more dormitory-ish.

And we actually spent a lot of time talking to a female spirit in there. She was a murderer, I believe, and a murderous, we call them murder-eces. And she was not very pleasant at all. It's definitely heavy energy.

When you drive up, it's probably built in the 1890s, early 1900s. I don't have a date, but it looks, you know, it's agothic, kind of that, you know, it looks on it. It's just like, ooh. It reminds me of our slideshow.

It looks like this. It could be this. And you just look at that building. You're like, yeah, that place is definitely haunted.

And then we're at you with it. Absolutely. Everywhere is. Yep.

Alright, so the next place is actually kind of sad. I mean, technically they're all sad, because ones are sad, right? But this place is called Heart Mountain Relocation Center. And if you all remember back in the World War II days, for reasons, a lot of Japanese and Japanese Americans in the United States were rounded up and put into centers, basically prison camps because the government was trying to figure out everything was Pearl Harbor and what was going on there.

But there's definitely going to be a lot of heartbreak and trauma. People that are incarcerated in places like that. Yeah, these were multiple, multiple generation Americans in many cases, and they had all of their property, everything taken away from them shipped out from all areas of the West Coast and different places to the middle of Wyoming and its desolate. I've got family, like I say, that lived in level and it's not very far from Powell, where this is.

It's an expensive place now with the rich and famous that are moving out there, but it was a desolate place in the 1930s and 40s. And people that came from a lot of these West Coast areas that were used to warmer weather, and you get out there into the middle of Wyoming winters, it was hardship. And they lost everything. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

They called it a detainment camp. They had bargained by your fence and armed guards to make sure that they don't escape. They were provided a cot and two blankets, and they could only bring with them what they could carry. So they didn't have very many belongings, like Chad said.

They lost their homes, they lost jobs. And if you go online and look at some of the pictures of these places, it looks, if you were to go there, they've made a really nice looking museum. The camp was open for three years, and it housed more than 10,000 people at one point. So they were robbed of their belongings, they were being robbed from their dignity, their jobs, their businesses.

Obviously there's going to be a lot of sad, angry, frustrated energy there. So there are still some abandoned buildings there, part of it's been made into a museum, part of it's just, you know, to see. So I'm just going to read this. It says, when investigators measured areas of the camp where the deteriorating ruins of the hospital school and barracks were for paranormal activity, all the meters read up over 85, and there wasn't anything around that should have made it spike that high.

Not really a whole lot of stories, because people don't spend a ton of time out there, but visitors to the museum area, people that have just wandered out there to see what it looked like. They have reported hearing footsteps, whispers. Some people say that they have just had this uneasy feeling of being watched, and some people said that they felt like and could see, you know, depending on the person, some spirits hiding in the shadows. And the ones lurking in the shadows have been seen so often, and so frequently that they're actually referred to as shadow people, which we would, you know, we talk about shadow people in our investigations, but these are specific shadow people to that area.

How does a shadow person hide in a shadow? Because they're darker in the shadow. I've seen a lot of shadow people on my suite of headkicks this last week, so I consider myself a professional in the subject at the moment. So we're going to take lightly any paranormal experience as you've had in the last couple of weeks.

I think that we might need to do some experimenting next time I get to bed cold just to see if maybe I'm clairvoyant or something. I don't know. Yeah. An interesting thing with the Hart Mountain relocation center, there's an author, Craig Johnson, who writes the Walt Longmire series.

There's also a TV series with Walt Longmire, and it's based in this area of Wyoming and Idaho, and he's had several books to touch on the Sacred Mountain and the Indian culture, and also what's happened with the Japanese and German camps. There's a couple of really good ones. I highly recommend you reading or listening to the Walt Longmire books. There's a really good one that he just put out.

It's called First Frost, and it's very, as I told Raven, it's different than most of his other books. It's very almost mystical and paranormal, supernatural kind of thing. It was a really, really interesting read. So I do that, but it ties back in because he does talk in several of the books about the Hart Mountain internment camps and some of the things that went on there.

So from my book review, I give it two thumbs up. Would highly recommend it, but it's very interesting. Sounds like it. Now, Moon, you were telling me about a library near Thermopolis, or in Thermopolis.

Yes, yes. The Hot Springs County Library. The librarians say that books are strewn across the floors and it's crazy. Like, that would be exciting to see, but probably not of your librarian.

That sounds very, very, very ghost, original ghost bustery. Yeah, exactly. Super exciting. They hear strange sounds and see shadowy figures again.

It's the oldest county library in the West, and they also hear disembodied voices. This is one when you look at it, it just doesn't give haunted vibes. It's just this look. They must have read on it because it just has a 1960s vibe to me.

It's a rectangle, flat roofed building with happy trees and old wispy cloud background. But was it about libraries that are so haunted? That's where it is in the Ghostbusters movie, and I get that that's a movie. We have crazy activity at the American Fork Library.

We have activity in, what's the name of the library and stuff like that we do? Chapman Library. Yes. Chapman Library.

We get activity at Springville Library. What is it about libraries that are so crazy haunted? I don't like theaters. Yeah, I think it's all the feelings and emotions that go into the book and that people are using the books, maybe a lot of different people's emotions and feelings going into that type of vibe.

Even just like the books aside to your point, I think the library much like movies and video games and other activities are for people. It isn't a scape. A lot of people go to a library just to be in a quiet away from their treble space to lose themselves in a book or chase their passions. I think there's a lot of emotional energy, surprisingly, at libraries.

I wonder if the old blockbusters were haunted because the movies are doing the same vibes as the libraries for the love of that kind of stuff. Road trip to Oregon, they're still wondering we'll find out. What? BTR?

Maybe they've moved up to Blu-ray. No, and that's going to kind of go along with what I was going to say. It's just if you think about it in a public library, you know, with all the technology we have now, maybe they've fallen out of favor a little bit, but I still like to go to a library and just think of the volume of people that go in. You know, you've got kids, you've got teenagers, you've got adults, you've got retirees and what are they bringing in with them?

Not just their personal energy, but do they have a spirit attached to them? Is it just their spirit guide? Do they have negative attachments? Do they have protector attachments?

Do they have just some, you know, Joe that thinks they're interesting to follow them around? So who knows what people are bringing into the library besides their own energies? It's quite, quite. Alright.

So, Whiskey, you were telling me about Historic Site. Not just any Historic Site, alright. Sorry. The Ford Bridger State Historic Site in Wyoming, which was originally established in 1843 by the legendary mountain man, Jim Bridger.

I mean, but after himself, he's getting out of the name of the Ford, but he did establish the small fur trading post, which started out of just two double log houses each about 40 feet long connected by a pen for horses. Because even though it started as a very small little fur trading post, it quickly grew into dividends as a vialry supply point for pioneers traveling along the Oregon, California, Mormon trails. Over time, it also became essential stuff for the Point Express, the Overland stage, which I'm just mentioning that when there's a lot of pass on through, but we've gone to the Overland saloon in Nevada, which was part of that same route. So, one little tie in there to where we've been and Transcontinental telegraph.

If you actually look at a map of where it is and a lot of the old trails, you'll see them all kind of hit that point and then spread out from there. They all kind of aim for that and then spread out. It's pretty cool. In 1857, during the Utah War, Mormon settlers set the fort on fire, which we know is not ever going to cause paranormal activity when there's a fire somewhere to prevent its use by the US Army.

It was rebuilt a year later and continued to serve as military outpost until 1890. Today, it's about 37 acres site with original buildings and replicas structures. There's like 27 total structures there and museum exhibits. But much like the other thing I was talking about, it's not just known for its history.

It's known for its… Paranormal activity. Over the years, countless visitors and staff have reported ghostly encounters. One of the most chilling experiences involves the apparition of a woman dressed in old-fashioned clothing. I don't know if that's what makes it scary.

I think old-fashioned clothing is kind of cool. I don't know if anybody seeing walking the grounds and in the buildings, visitors have also reported hearing mysterious footsteps, voices, and doors opening and closing on their own. Some even claim to have felt cold spots or in an unexplained sense of being watched, particularly in the old officers' quarters. Which, like we talk about sometimes, EMF, things like that can make you feel paranoid, but in really old buildings like this, there's not a lot of electricity.

Maybe not that. One of the most famous spirits is that of a heroic military dog who died after saving a child from danger. Since then, the dog has been spotted running along the fort's perimeter, barking, and even circling the same spot where it died. There is also a common sighting of a shadowy figure that appears to be watching over the fort.

And some have reported hearing the faint sounds of chains rattling, so they're thinking maybe it's like a prisoner or a soldier or something that wants to walk to the grounds. No, no. Interesting. I want to go here.

I don't know if I ever said this on the podcast, but I think haunted has a smell. I mean, chat how many times have I walked into some place and said this place smells haunted? A lot. A lot.

Yeah. It smells like dust. It smells like dust. It smells like dust.

I do have a comment. The Fort Bridger is only 113 miles from Salt Lake. It takes about an hour and 40 minutes to get there. That could be a really interesting team event, something that's pretty close.

Let's go. That's basically just an hour from Moon. Yeah. We need to finally get to the point.

Alright, so that was a state historic site. The next one we're going to talk about is actually a national historic site. It's in the West, you know, that we had one up me. Oh, see.

I'm just going to come up with a World Heritage site next. Well, UNESCO has this is another old fort. It dates back to 1834. It used to be called Fort William.

And now it's called Fort Laramie National Historic Site. And in the 1940s, Wagon trains going along the Oregon California Trail would stop here for supplies. And as most forts out here at the time were it turned into a military post named Fort Laramie founded in 1849. And Fort was established to help protect travelers who were going west from attacks by Native Americans.

And it's actually quite a nice little site. They've got it as a museum now and they've got some replicas. I don't know how much in there is. It just looks period or if it actually is period as original to the fort.

But they've got it looking really nice. But there's not just one ghost here. There's lots of them. One of the ghosts that they have seen is called the Lady in Green.

And they say that she dates back to Fort John when it was an American fur company trading post before it became military. And the story behind her is that the daughter of the person in charge rode off one day in a big black course. Her father was gone doing father stuff. And she never returned.

And to this day no one knows what happened to her. But supposedly her ghost appears. East of Fort Laramie every seven years wearing a long green riding dress and a veil hat. And she's got a jeweled whip and she's riding her big black stain.

And the fact that it says every seven years, that to me sounds more like a residual haunt. But seven years seems like a long residual haunt. Is it possible? Hear me out.

That the song Lady in Red is actually about the Lady in Green, but the person is colorblind that sings that song. Do you think there's any correlation? Very possible. Okay, check it.

So there's also, on the grounds is an old Captain quarters which was built in 1870. It housed like the commanding officers and such. And they've had reports of some strange things that have occurred there. Doors opening by themselves, found a footstep when known's around, right lights shining from inside the facility even though the building has no electricity.

And this ghost is named George. George. So there's also some cavalry barracks. They are said to be haunted.

They were built in 1874. This is where the soldiers would live. And early in the morning, these days the sound of a lot of boots can be heard walking around on the second level. I think it was like everyone's woken up and getting ready for the day.

So there's another building there called Old Bedlam. It was built in 1849. It was a bachelor office quarters. It's also the oldest military building in Wyoming.

And there is a ghost that has been seen there who's a cavalry officer. And he has said he, it's, I can't even talk. It said that he has been seen walking through the building telling people to be. There's also ghosts outside of the building.

Some of the people, some of the apparitions that people have seen are a young man in a raincoat, a surgeon in a blood covered uniform, a headless man near Deer Creek, and a civil war soldier who they describe as erratic has been seen southeast of the fort. That is someplace I would like to go because that sounds pretty cool. I want to see a headless ghost. Well, if we want to go back to Estes Park in the Stanley Hotel, it's kind of on the way.

It's about 390 miles that direction and we'd go pretty much right past it. Let's do it. Also, shameless plug. If you want to hear a ghost, be quiet.

Wisps.org. Check out our evidence. Our sound cloud in there. We haven't even been to says be quiet.

Absolutely. We're going to take our evidence and find that. So if Castle was still on our podcast, he would love to talk about the next location. But Moon, I know that you have seen a little bit about this.

I have. So there was a couple that was staying in room two at the old faithful Inn and the woman, the wife, was clawing her husband to death because she opened her eyes during the middle of the night and saw a woman in 1890s clothing floating at the foot. The bed and that poor guy was clawed up. Okay.

Mine is living white. Mine is living white. Not the bride or other lady. Yeah, the dead one.

There was a bride in a different room dressed in white and she seemed moving across the crow's nest in the old faithful Inn and they say, just like Raven said in her, the last story that this woman is holding her head. Who does that? Like did she get decapitated and pick it up? I don't know.

Then they have moving objects and doors swinging open and closed. Maybe air conditioning. I don't know. And then a fire extinguisher is said to have flipped upside down and then flipped it right side up.

I don't know if that was the one time occurrence. That's just what I saw. It was one time. So, no, no.

Pretty interesting stuff though. I'd stay there. So I do know that old faithful Inn gets booked up really quickly. It's hard to get in there.

So if you want to go stay there, you need to book it as soon as you know you're going to go there. But it's a beautiful building. I don't know if you've ever seen it. I do believe Kessel loves to stay there.

I think that's where he stays when he goes there. Yeah. But I want to see a ghost, not only headless, but holding their head. See, now Moon, you're one up in me.

I have been into building and I don't know if you guys have just been to Yellowstone, Park in general, but it's got weird vibes around. A lot of it's because it feels like it's a space type area. You just suddenly are turning around and you have sulfur and stuff mud flying out of the ground and things around there and old faithful, of course, is always happening. So a lot of moving water.

But vibe is strange there, including inside of the hotel when I went inside. I've never stayed at that hotel, but I've been inside that hotel. Smells haunted. We should make a candle.

Smells haunted. Okay. I think we're going to. Definitely has a haunted smell.

So I'm sure those aren't all the haunted sites, but I think those are some of the major ones. It definitely sounds creepy there. It definitely makes me want to go to a few places I've never been before. Just because I like history, but I also like ghosts.

So it's a two for. And Wyoming is fairly close for many of those from here. Yellowstone's just about four hours away, a little over four hours from Salt Lake. All of those we talked about, like say it's less than two to Fort Bridger.

So I think there could be some fun things to go to. And I know that we have listeners in Utah. Not some of you. I know we've got listeners all over the United States.

We will hit some of your states as soon as we can. And we actually have listeners in other countries. So I know that for you to travel to some of these places, like Wyoming, you stretch. But definitely look around your area and see what's haunted in your area and go get my visit.

Whiskey did having the plague stop the creative process at all in the lab. You can see shadow people. It helps the creative process. Let me tell you, we are testing theories like crazy out here.

The lab has been a little slow. I actually started, I have some orders out for a larger amount of parts. I usually buy them just like in small batches, which makes things a lot more expensive than normal. So I have an order out.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks, I'll get a ton of parts to make things much, much, much cheaper. We were talking some things go from $7 each to like $1.30 each. And some things go from like $50 to $50 to like $0.30. So I got a lot of stuff going there.

But Moon has been helping me. We got a little whiskey, whiskey moon collab going on, making some of the stuff where we have the plants ready to go. We just got to put the bags together so that we can get those in people's hands and a really big hit from what I've seen. A lot of people have been enjoying them.

We actually had somebody, the Paranormal Interview podcast people ask me for someone. I was like, oh, well here, I have a free batch because you guys are cool. Which shout out to them because they interviewed me for one of their segments the day before I got sick. So who was that again?

Paranormal Interview. So, Rankin Leilani. They came to two apartments now. I think they actually livestreamed a little bit from the cemetery.

But anyways, we got a lot of, we got the spare lights on the way. I have a bunch of K2 meters in stock that I got to figure out how to make pretty with Moon and get those out into people's hands. I feel like you're going to blink them up. We could.

I mean, maybe half of them so it attracts the women, but we don't want to deter the men, you know? Yeah, we could definitely make a bling collection if we need to a bling down red pod that blinds everybody with. So the thing that I'm most excited about, whiskey, tell them about what I gave you, what you're going to do to it. I don't know if you want me to get some skittic.

I have a box. I think it's a wind box. I don't know too much about it. I'm a wizard.

Is it like really older? Yeah, it's Victorian. Oh, don't scare me. It's fine.

Oh, yeah, I'm never talking about it. Shatter into pieces. Would I drill it? Be careful drilling into it.

I have very sharp drill bits and I will now be shaking. Very old Victorian box and he's going to make a rampot out of it. Yes, I am going to make a rampot out of it. I actually just got the little rampot boards in.

It'll be a standard rampot. I know people have seen other ones that do measurements. This one's pretty small. So it'll just beep and flash.

I do have to figure out two things. One, if we want to switch on the outside, which I disagree with because it's really small it's easier to switch on the inside and do how many lights we want. And these make them purple lights for me. Sorry, we have purple lights in stock, which is rare.

You're lucky. Oh my gosh. So you are the creator. You put in as many lights as you feel would be best.

No, no, it'll be all lights. Can't be three. It'll be three. It has to be at least four.

But 666 in lights on top of it. A lot of stuff coming through. I know the just the Mystic Frog going to make a special frog based like scare, bear type rampot to take on their little paranormal investigation. If anybody has any ideas, let me know.

I'm also planning a do over on the dead bell. That's made an appearance a few times. Most recently at a house call that we can talk about later where the person rang the bell when I wasn't looking at like a really excited and then I turned around and they had rang the bell and I was like, dang it. Yeah, why did you talk about that investigation next?

But I saw him ring the bell and I saw the excitement in whiskey zones and I thought, oh, he's going to be disappointed. Yeah, it was sad. But, you know, hey, it worked. Take off the humans in the room to go touch it.

And yeah, but I am planning on remaking that into like a smaller form factor kind of like a hockey puck looking thing. So that might be phase two and maybe we'll release a real dead bell soon. But yeah, the lab's been a lot of a lot of her gotten weight in the lab, a lot of just trying to resource some materials so that I don't have to spend as much on them and then waiting to get them in stock from overseas and then we have some stuff out recently. And if you come to one of our hunts, other moon or anything, we might have something to sell.

Yeah, anyways, we can probably figure out how to post some of this stuff to our store at advancedburner.com. We'll have to reach out to Chad and see what it takes to get something on there. And we've also had requests recently to make some more of the random little sprays and things we have to make them available. So I have to look into that.

So make sure you keep an eye on advancedburner.com, check out our store, YouTube, check out all that stuff. That's where you'll get the most up to date information on if and when we start selling more equipment on there. Have you got anything that you want to order today? You know, I do.

And Jankdore has been brought to you by DSF Huey's Performing Arts and Cultural Events Center, which they call PACE. And if you are local, you call it the Huey's. So we will look forward to going back there. So yeah, my Jankdore today is something really kind of out there.

So this happened in April of 2017 in Zimbabwe of all places. So there was a drowning death of two young boys. And it was kind of mysterious, but it was blamed on a mermaid attack. And I saw everyone kind of look at me like, whoa, did I hear a mermaid attack?

But apparently it's happened before. So according to the reports, there's these children and they are hurting cattle near and down. And they looked in the water and they saw what they thought was a mermaid. And when they first saw it, they didn't say, oh look a mermaid because, you know, mermaid.

And so they thought it was just like a big fish. And so these boys wanted to catch it. They're like, wow, big fish. It's just right there.

We're going to go catch this fish. I guess she didn't have like, you know, the most feminine of features. Like, oh, it's a fish, clearly. Or was it the top half was a fish and the bottom half was blank.

I don't know. Anyway, so they jump in the water. They're trying to catch this fish. Okay.

But unfortunately, they turned out to be the one that she caught. It says that the creature snatched them up, snatched them up, dragged them under water. And at first, it said that the, they thought that the mermaid was just kind of playing with them. Just like, oh, look, friends.

And she resurfaced with them. You know, think about it. When you go to the pool and you've got your friends, you don't come underwater, but you're not going to drown them. You know, after you squirm around, you pop up and everyone laughs and you go home and you get sickles, whatever.

So that's kind of what it was. You know, they're playing in the water. And the kids were still alive when they resurfaced. But by that time, the parents had gotten to them and kind of made the situation more dangerous than it was.

Because, you know, the kids started crying because they're like, we don't know what's going on. We're trying to catch this fish. The fish is trying to drown us. We don't know what's going on.

So as soon as the kids start crying, then the parents get upset, right? And so they're at least more upset. And so this kind of freaked the mermaid out. And so she dragged the kids back under the water and the night.

So that is the story of the mermaid. Oh, it's in my boy. So when a mermaid says, I want to be where the people are, pick their word for it and welcome them. Okay.

None of this crying stuff. I just want to see you dancing. What's your fish legs in? It's fish I didn't humanly?

So we're moving on from mermaids. We actually, we've got two investigations in the works. Okay. We have actually quite a few residential.

We would have had three to talk about tonight, but one hundred rescheduled because they got six. We've got two. I'm going to start with the one that Black Widow and I went on. So this was actually a return.

I went on it too. You were there as well. Yes. Don't forget Chad.

Yeah, but I was there. Okay. So we're going to start at the end. Okay.

So Black Widow got, she had to have a flat tie, not flat, but it was definitely low. And so after the investigation, she followed us to a gas station and Chad filled up her tire and made sure she got home safely. Bravo. What do you got, Chad?

It's a tremendous, great job. We'll be here. Yes. You're welcome.

I'll do what I can to help people in distress. Yeah. So you had actually gone to her house before and before Whiskey had been there and was also there as well as Chad. Was there there?

No, it was just before of us. Okay. And she definitely had some stuff. And this is what we talked about where we felt like there might be the beginning of some oppression going on.

This is the gal that her foot got broken. And one thing that we noticed when we were there the first time was when it came time to kick these spirits out. And just keep this in mind for anybody if we come to your house. If there's a spirit in your home, you really need to take charge.

I can tell it to leave. Whiskey can tell it to leave. Anybody can tell it to leave. But it's your home.

It's your house. You're the one that really has the power. Sorry, our dog is very happy. You're the one that really has the power and the control over your home and you're the one that needs to tell it to get out.

And she was scared. There was something going on in her house that made her very scared of entity. And so she was quite timid. I felt like I had to really play cheerleader to try to get her to be forceful.

And she was really timid to get this out, which is understandable. But she called us again and said, hey, it just feels like it's back. And so we went back and we really didn't do a whole lot of investigating because we already knew what was there. So we went back in her bedroom where she said that the issues were.

And we got out the dows and asked a few yes, no questions. And we had a couple of things set out just to see if we would interact with us at all. But mostly it was empowering her and explaining things to her. The first time we went, there's just so much fear and so much just being overwhelmed and just the unknown.

Things happening, you can't see it. That's going to give you a degree of just terror in a lot of ways. And so we just had the opportunity. I started, Chad gave her a lot of empowerment.

Black Widow really talked to her and we just explained to her what these things were, why they were there, how to get rid of them. And the thing that really clicked with her is after all three of us had explained all the whys and what fors, she goes out. So it's kind of like that jerk that work that just really irritates you and we said, yeah. And we said, the difference is at work, you can't tell what you think and you can't tell what you get lost, but we said this is your house.

And you can tell anything you want. And so when she kicked them out that time, she really, Chad don't think she was a lot more forceful and had a lot more vigor behind her words. Yeah, she took charge. She took charge because I think it really clicked with her that she is in charge.

And this isn't uncommon. With anybody, you're not going to fully understand everything on one visit necessarily. And it depends on the strength of the spirit. This in the home and why they're there and what kind of spirit it is.

This spirit for her was a little bit of an ass to your spirit. And she'd been going through health problems and just a lot of stuff for her work schedule. Let's keep in her tired. There's a lot of things going down, but I felt like it was a good investigation.

It was very good investigation. We haven't heard back from her either. No, no, we have not. So the second one that we did is one that we have been ongoing for about a year off and on for various reasons.

This is absolutely into that, well into that second phase of possession, but the victim is aware he wants to get out of it, but it's not something that he's not going to be able to do it. It's going to be a process. So Whiskey, Castle and I went out there. Whiskey, do you want to be tired of hearing me right now?

Do you want to give this a little whirl? I'll give it a whirl. So yeah, it's I think one of the most interesting things entering that room again this time was we met a very different person than the previous time we were there. The previous times they've been very interested in what we were doing, kind of let us do our thing, but did not engage in anything too much.

This time there were changes to the environment. Some pretty severe changes. I don't want to give into too much of their personal business, but their appearance was very different. They did not look like they had been outside very much in this person lived a very active lifestyle.

Their complexion kind of deteriorated a bit, which was alarming for one, especially in dealing with somebody that is in the stages of possession, right? Because when you see physically people starting to get worn down, the siren should be going off that like, hey, we're getting close to the no-no zone of possession. You know, and other things that they might have been doing that kind of helped keep those boundaries down for longer. And even they told us that they were not going out.

They kind of feared leaving the house that they weren't allowed to leave the house based off of what the entities were kind of telling them. But we got them to open up chat with us. We all just peppered in questions to try to understand exactly what was going on. One key thing that we identified on this last visit was the likely story of how this all started, which I don't think it was a surprise anybody based off of previous conversations and interest that they expressed to us.

But once we got that piece of information, that's really the key that we need to help figure out how we can a kick something out, but be more importantly, keep the door closed. So we did have them kind of join us, say some positive affirmations. And as we started that process, they started getting choked up, like physically coughing, things like that. I'm getting choked up right now, but I don't think I'm getting possessed.

We'll find out. It's great with holy water. Subscribe to Patreon for the bonus episode where we find out if I'm possessed. Yeah, Raven, you want to talk a little bit more about that?

Yeah, so one of the things I noticed, the parents are starting to get worn down as well. And we chatted with them, explained to them how they could empower themselves because it doesn't just affect the possessed person or the person that's going through the process. It's also going to affect the people in the home. But one of the things that I noticed is the victim actually had picked up some more habits, and there was a lot of alcohol.

And people are going to be listening to their nothing wrong with alcohol, Raven. No, nothing wrong with drinking alcohol. But it was the change of the first time we went there, just a couple of signs, you know, nothing out of the ordinary, you know. And then we went there.

There was a literally case upon case upon case upon case of beer, which was just very different from what we had seen before. Beer, wine, spirits, and for reference, they had a very large collection of tea, previously, all kinds of stuff. It was actually really interesting. That was what they talked to us about before, because all the different teas that they had.

It was a very interesting conversation for me, because there were so many different kinds. And literally the entire thing just replaced with more beer than local beer fridge. Yeah, and it was not so much that there was beer there. It was the amount.

And so, like you said, it was a different person, you know, different physically, different hair, definitely paler skin. I felt that he also looked much thinner. Yep. Just a lot of differences.

We caught him in a couple eyes. Apparently he'd gotten very angry one day. He told other people in the South that he'd been angry for 15 hours straight, which, you know, I've gotten angry before. And I've been, you know, I can hold on to anger for a while, but I've never been angry for 15 hours.

And he might hold a grad, he might be angry, and then you're just annoyed the rest of the day. But just to be like at the top of the peak of anger for 15 hours. And he'd actually kicked something and hurt his foot. And we asked him, in the course of talking to him, that was footless feeling, and he had told us something different.

You know, we had two different stories going on of how his foot broke. And we knew the real stories. It was interesting to see him. I don't know if he was embarrassed to tell us.

I don't know if he didn't want to tell us. I'm not exactly sure why we weren't getting the same story. But it was interesting to see some of the things that were going on. You know, we set the equipment out and the equipment, we didn't really do any active investigating.

We set up equipment mostly because that's what he wanted to see. And when I say active investigating, he had recorders going. We put things around. Yeah, we were hoping that things were lighting up, but we weren't there to investigate.

We were there more for him to get some information, to see where he was at, to try to help him turn that corner, because he's still kind of in that. And I still feel like he could go either way. And we're trying to get him to really hardcore tip to the side to want to get rid of these spirits and to do the things he needs to help keep him out of his life. Yeah, we put together a game plan for him outside of the physical things that we did.

And hopefully, if hopefully he sticks to the game plan, because I think we'll get pizza. That's part of the game plan is us getting pizza. So hopefully he's a good pizza. I haven't tried yet.

So hopefully he sticks to it. And it takes a lot of work. And so it's not if you're ever in the scenario and you call us, obviously, we're not going to identify you or say anything crazy about your situation on here, but don't feel like you failed if you didn't hold up to your end of the game plan. Call us.

Let us know you struggled or call the people that are part of the plan to help you, whether it's your parents, your friends, help get you out of the house or whatever it was. And just let them know, like, Hey, sorry that I didn't do this. What is can we come up with something else? You know, keep trying.

Don't let one failure get in your way, because that's a big tool for something that's trying to possess is to make you feel like a failure. So if they do fail, you think it's right. They don't. But if they do, hopefully they are strong enough to keep fighting and reach out to us and we'll show up with the gloves on.

Absolutely. In cases like this and several normal cases isn't a one and down. It's not like, Oh, I don't want this anymore. And you send it off to your local thrift store.

Sometimes it's going to take a visitor to a three and that's okay. Something that you can't see. It's something that can have a lot of influence over you that you're not aware. It's having influence over you in the way that it is.
