In the dead of night, as people sleep, that's when the spirits creep. As the bell tolls three, dark things take power. We like to call it the supernatural hour. And now, our hosts.

This isn't school. We shouldn't have to do current events. I can find one while you're talking more about boring religion shit. Hey, these are a little interesting, though.

Hey, everybody, welcome to Supernatural Hour. We are back. What is this? Episode three?

This is Tour Three. This is it, I say three. We can do it, Bonk wins, like Stolos. We'll start my episode.

It's 5,332 and we're back from there. Sure, that works. Yeah. Alright, I am your host, Castle.

And with this, we have our fellow host, Tim, A.K.A. Beaker. What's happening? We've got Peaches, A.K.A.

Burandi. I gotta get myself together. Hello, my life. We've got Silent Dawn.

Hello. And we've got Deann. That would be tired, Deann, this month. You know, I was gonna say, exhausted Deann.

We were doing the sound checkers before this, and Deann had her glasses perched on the end of her nose, like she's an eight-year-old woman. I feel like an eight-year-old woman. It's packed. Let me paint a picture for everybody.

Deann's got little skinny, black-room eight-year-old lady glasses that were perched on the end of her nose. They are teal, thank you. She's wearing a shawl, and her hair is pulled back. Deann went from being a four-year woman in her 40s to an eight-year-old woman in the course of a week.

My May has been insane, and it's amazing not even that have brain cells to rub together right now. So the fact that I'm here, you are lucky. So Deann has been asking for a nickname now for 80 episodes. I think the time has come.

What do you think, Tim? Nope. I think we're gonna start calling her Grandma Deann. I have no energy to even fight that.

Grandma Deann doesn't sound like it would be appropriate. It'd just be Granny. Granny Thomas? Granny Thomas?

That works. Like I even fight, I'm so tired. And our host, Granny Thomas. Granny Thomas.

And I'm all fine, whatever. I don't care. You know what I mean? Who's playing music?

That is not me. That would be so hard. That's a first. You know, I guess we're gonna call it the end of Granny.

I can see someone bouncing into a cat's face and get off my lawn. Damn, kids, get off my lawn. Alright, so we are back, and we have got stuff on the floor. I'm sure about front.

We might be side. Okay. That's not mine. That's me.

No. Good Lord. Alright, supernatural hour, one by one hosts are your phones on silent and not sitting on the table. Tim, go.

Vibrate and it's not on the table. It's on the floor. Peaches. Mine's between my knees and it's on silent.

It's on vibrate, Tim. Well then. That's what we're really exciting. I may or may not be calling Peaches a lot throughout the episode.

And we're two minutes in and things have gotten spicy. How's that different from any other episode? Silent dawn is not holding his and it's not happening on silent as well. It's on silent and off vibrate.

It's on vibrate as well. I'll be calling him a lot through the episode as well. Mine is on vibrate. It's on the table.

I don't have the energy to get it. But it no longer has the creepy laugh that scared the heck out of you all the last time. It didn't scare us. It just led into an interesting story that got cut off and we restarted the show.

Well it started to get annoying. Especially when it went off in the middle of the night. Our last show we actually started recording and we stopped recording. And you all missed my awesome creepy notifications.

You did and it would have been cheesy to try and recreate such an awesome moment. Okay, moving on. Let's talk about business. What are we going on?

So we've got March with the Aliens. Tim, tell us about March with the Aliens. Well, it's definitely not March. I was going to mention that.

That March with the Aliens seems like that would be a March kind of... I think that was the original plan was to have it March. This is actually put on by the same people that did the Paranal Expo and the Medical Expo last year and Lawrence Lee Reuter. This is going to be on Saturday, June 9th.

They've got some really big name guest lineup. They do have a meet and greet on the Thursday beforehand with one of these guests. But because of the high profile guests that they're bringing, the ticket prices have gone up quite a bit compared to their Paranal Expo event. There's three different ticket prices.

One is going to be the first half of the morning. It will be like something like $35 and you'll be able to see the guest speakers during that time frame. There's also an evening one that's like $55 which has the higher profile guest during that time frame or you can buy an all day pass for like $80. But they do have Gary's wet dream is coming.

That's just the way I said it. So that's what we're going with. John's Afis. I'm editing that out.

Gary's wet dream is coming. I'll keep saying that you try to find a monitor that like you say will be an actual. Don't crash. John's Afis will be here.

They're going to meet and greet on Thursday before the event at W3 which is a magnet from 7. 9pm. We'll post links on how to buy tickets for that before the event actually occurs. The other big name guest is Dan's favorite star.

Josh Gates. That's the most interesting that again. That's the reason why the ticket prices are so expensive is because the granny bastards. It was not cheap to get Josh Gates here.

He is a granny bastards. Maybe. I've never met him. So I mean maybe his manager's a greedy bastard.

I don't know. He seems like a super nice guy. He's going to be here speaking. They're going to have other guest speakers like in Broiswin, Tascaville.

I believe his name is. He's a paranormal author and writes about the metaphysical as well. There's going to be local psychic Karen Baldwin will be there as well as the paranormal detective. I want to say his name is Sherlock Holmes.

That is not correct. His name is what's the paranormal detective's name? I'm going to go through a lot of the columns because it's slipping my mind at the moment. Yes.

It's elementary. There are lots of. And we should probably warn Castle's wife that she will not be getting any further that little bit because he'll be in bed with John Zappus. Probably.

That's definitely coming out. Like no, out of the podcast. Not out of the podcast. It's out of the conversation.

It's too late. Damn it. All right. Your wife is sitting right behind you.

What's wrong with you? Could I pick a more appropriate time? Yeah. This is all coming out of the podcast.

I don't know why. You say that all the time. You're like that all the time. I'm going to edit that out.

I go back and listen to the podcast. You know what you added out? Nothing. You want to know why?

I'm going to edit it out. I'm going to edit it out. It's Greg Lawson, the parent of the detective. That's his name.

Elementary. There, Tim. Yeah. Sure.

Yeah. Come to that. We're going to try and see if we can be there for. We'll be there.

There will be some of us there. Castle will be there because he's an old man and he's asleep. But I will probably be there unless I get forced into overtime at work. Deann will be there because I'm making her be there.

Elle will be there because I like to surround myself with hot women and... I'm probably going to be there. And I'm going to pick it so I can go see Josh. I'm going to make silent Don't Be There too.

He doesn't have a choice. And we are going to try. I make no promises because we've got some scheduling conflicts between them and myself. We are going to try and get some actual practice interviews with some of these people provided that we can arrange that because like I said, there are a few little scheduling conflicts that we are trying to work through.

And if you interview Josh Gates without me, I will kill both of you initially. No, you won't. Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

So if you aren't able to make it to the event, I know they are working on doing a live stream where you can purchase tickets and watch the guest speakers from your computer home or where you're at. In your underwear. I'm going to try and be there a person. Thank you.

There will be a podcast poem when John's office comes to do a little statement with us. So moving on. This is awkward. It's only awkward if you make it awkward.

Is it like bother you that I'm talking about you being naked watching John's office while I'm staring you directly levelingly in the eyes? That's what makes it so right. Or left. We need me vote on this.

The same. I can, it's, I did get it out, but I do have it. We're ten minutes on and we can put it on red too. We're ten minutes at this.

And things have gotten weird. We're going to be castle porn. Things are definitely getting weird. So that's March with Aliens.

Also we have hats. No. We have hats. Because that's how you wrote it.

That's right. There's an exclamation point. Not just hats. We have hats.

You need to be at these. I should book a bunch of hats. We have hats. We have hats.

We will be selling those hats at the March with Alien event. If you would like an advanced paranormal service hat, come down to the event and you can get that with a new logo on it. We will have them up on the website soon so if you can't make it to the event you can buy them there. We're going to have money to buy other stuff for you guys to buy.

Here's the thing. We are selling hats to turn a profit and with the money we make from turning a profit we will buy more things for you to buy. We're selling hats. We would like to work away into t-shirts and other stuff like that.

Buy hats. If you love us buy hats and we'll buy more stuff. This is a very true string but we're making it work. We also have glow necklaces and some wisps dot or bracelets that we'll be selling as well.

This is the first of many items. We have some of those what do you call those sticks made out of copper for talking to go? I think we call those pencils. We've got pencils.

We've got pencils. We've got pencils. We've got some dowsing rods. We used pencils to talk to ghosts with the hat.

Those dowsing rods? We had pencils with lists written on them a couple years ago. Our dowsing rods are kind of cool because they're different than regular dowsing rods. They're made by Paul Welch.

Not just Paul Welch. Paul Welch from Paranormal Verems. He's Utah's one and only Paranormal Celebrity. We love Paul Welch dearly.

Our dowsing rods have got glow-in-the-art tips and so you can actually investigate with them. Just the tip. Just the tip. Just the tip.

Just for a second. Just to see how it feels. Paranormal dowsing rods from apps or advanced paranormal.com. I think your wife is rethinking her choices.

You're always the spouse. We're killing people. She's dying. No, she's not rethinking.

She's just... So many things to say. Unless she's rethinking about me, that's an story because I'm a lot funnier than Castle is. As much as he likes to think that he has a sense of humor, the Carter gene seems to be lacking with a funny bone.

I am definitely. This is an explicit episode. Thank you very much. Why?

Just because I said your wet dream was coming? If I don't just edit that out. The first 10 minutes of the day. You're killing Elle back there.

She is going to bust a cut. That's how I know if our episode is going to be good or not. She's paying attention about working. Let's say this is going to start halfway through the middle.

We'll be like, so go to religion. Yeah, you guys are going to have to go talk to your bishops and I'm going to have to go to confession all the time. That's just how it's going to come. It's going to get to the point where I'm going to have to go to confession.

You're going to have to go to talk to my bishop. I'll talk to you bishop. I think he just got weird again. Guess what Gary did.

He talked to John's Fs. It got weird. He touched John's Fs but. All right.

So I'm worried with the answer I was going to try to do to Josh Gates though. I'm worried about him. I'm not going to be too much. I'm not going to be too much.

No, he's just sitting back with a big ring on his face. I'm just going to let this shit happen. Just roll with it. Let's work for him.

Let it go. Have you watched Josh Gates' show? It's fascinating. He was chasing some o'clock bird somewhere.

And he never finds it. He never finds it. He's looking for it. He's looking for it.

He's looking for it. You're searching for a pterodactyl out on some island in Singapore. You're not going to find it because dinosaurs aren't going to like you anymore. Here's my favorite episode.

He was, I don't even remember what they were looking for. I think they probably have something. He got a phone call and his wife told him while he was filming that he was going to be a dad. And he got emotional.

I'd like to point out again that he has a wife. Yeah, Josh Daff is probably has a wife too. You know, some people that doesn't matter. So once in a lifetime, do you really have to?

I really have to. I'm going to go to the meeting because he's cool. You have to be a little bit of a people. Remember?

There's that list. I've got a question because I don't really watch many of the paranormal shows. I've heard the name. Which shows this guy on anyway?

That show on channel. It's called Expedition Unknown. He goes searching for like the Holy Grail. Okay, so he's not just a guy.

He's a kind of a... No, he's like... He's one of his episodes. I think they were doing some ghost stuff.

That's why. Yeah, it's actually very fascinating. He has a degree in like archeology or something. Yeah, he's like a modern day Indiana Jones.

Yeah, it's awesome. A paranormal Indiana Jones? No. Well, he's just looking for a living, not a spirit, a living tardacle.

Did he find it? No. How good can he be? He found some hole where it could have lived though.

I think the last episode I watched was a rerun. He was searching for something that Genghis Khan had Genghis Khan's sword or something. That's sweet. I want Genghis Khan's sword.

There's a W. Yes, that is. I like swords. H on the front of horrible.

It's not herb. That's a herb. I eat herbs and spices. Herb is the guy from like two and a half men.

Basal is an herb. Yes. So that's weird. No, that's not the way you say it.

The Americans and your horrible. Herb, tell me your residential investigation. So it was actually kind of cool. This fellow, we've been trying to get to get into a residential for him for over a year.

And for various reasons it falls through. He's a little skittish to bring in an investigator. So until we actually walked into the door, I was a little skeptical whether it was going to happen or not. But we walked in and I already knew what was going on.

Because I've talked to this fellow probably four or five times in the last year and a half. But the other investigators had it and said, you know, go ahead and get them to run down of what's going on. And as I'm standing there, I can feel something behind me pushing me like it wants me to go out. And I spent the first 10 minutes trying to get whatever it was to stop pushing me.

But we went and walked to the house. And it felt very, very heavy in this man's bedroom. And it felt very, very heavy in the kitchen. And when we went in the bedroom, Nate and I both had like all the hair on our arms stood completely up on end.

It was a long story short, turns out there was an electrical elemental in the bedroom where our hair was standing up. And then there was a couple types of kitchen. I know. A couple of types of trees in the kitchen hiding in the stove.

Have we ever covered electrical elementals? I don't think I've ever seen them come across one or I don't think we ever talked about them. That is the first one that I have run into. That's the second I've come across.

And I had to text Gary and be like, how do we take care of this? Kind of like a lightning element or something like that. They're really the fire elementals. And I remember that when Gary had me and said Gary how do we do it?

I said, I don't remember. Or water on it. Stand in a bucket of water with rubber boots. It's interesting because he just is just like, what the hell is the matter to people.

Why are my friends with these people? They're just as weird as I am. Electrical elementals can be created as it were through anxiety and depression. And some of the issues that this fellow was dealing with very much would have anxiety and depression issues along with it so it made complete sense.

Anyway, we got a hold of Newman and Newman was able to take care of it and the type 3 hiding in the stove. Was it a fire element on the stove? Just a dark type 3. I just want to make that.

It's not hot. I think we're starting to eat a whole bit. It's interesting though because when we called him and we called Caden as well and both of them described the exact same hot spots that we had noticed while we were there and we hadn't said anything to him much. I thought it was kind of interesting.

Did you bake it or broil it? Alright. So, let's talk Benson Grismill. We did our investigation last night at Benson Grismill.

Thank you everybody for coming out. We actually gave away a pair of Paul Wilt dowsing rods. And bacon. And there was bacon.

I told you guys there would be bacon. But wait for those who did not come we had bacon and cake. We had cake and bacon. Cake and bacon.

Was it bacon? Was it bacon? Yeah. It was not bacon cake but there was.

How much bacon was there? There was a considerable amount of bacon. It was a bag of bacon. It was literally a bag of pre-cooked bacon.

Yeah, it was delicious. Yes it was. And some bastard brought red velvet cake to celebrate Lurch's birthday. Mmm.

That sounds delicious. It was delicious. I did not protect it any because I refused on principle. Unisisible of what?

He's weird. That is delicious. Red velvet is not a thing. I went through too many times on the hood when he was a little sorry.

I baked a differ. There's lots of colours of velvet. And red is one of them. I do like that.

Pretty nice. Still because of wonderful also. So we did Ben Zingris Mill. We had actually a really good time.

Mike Finley brought me a Pepsi Zero that he demanded I protect of. Pepsi Max. Was it Pepsi Max? Yeah.

I can't remember. It was some kind of Pepsi with no calories and it was fantastic. So I'll shout out to you Mike Finley. So as enjoyable as that regular Pepsi that I put a lemon in for you?

I don't know what you're even talking about. Yeah the waitress at this. Oh how about the hats? So hats.

So you told me I had to bring this up but I'm going to because you're talking about Pepsi. So we went to Sizzler beforehand. And the waitress came out with all the drinks and she's like there's a Dr. Pepper and I assumed it was Alice so we gave her to her and then she's like the rest of these are Pepsi and we're like are any of them diet?

And she said no they're all regular Pepsi. And I said okay so we had her put the regular Pepsi in front of Castle's spot because he was out of the salad bar getting gross rabbit food. And she's like do you want me to go get him a diet Pepsi? And we said no just give him the regular Pepsi go get a lemon and put it in there so he'll think it's a diet Pepsi.

And so she got she did that exactly she's like you guys are so terrible and I love it. I agree with her. So she did bring a diet Pepsi and we hit it on the table. And I waited until after he had completely consumed his regular Pepsi before we gave him the diet Pepsi and he started drinking the diet Pepsi and he didn't like make any faces or like nothing he didn't seem like anything was out of the ordinary.

So he just chugged a regular Pepsi and couldn't even tell it wasn't diet. Jokes on you the whole table is diet Pepsi's and that's why I didn't notice the difference. Yeah I drink enough soda. You know I see this fat guy over here.

No Pepsi is delicious and diet Pepsi is what you get when you clean out the Pepsi machines. It tastes like swill. So exactly thank you. So in my defense.

You have no taste but apparently it's like you have to taste but it was smoker without having the benefits of smoking. The benefits of smoking. I don't know the benefits of smoking are but it's like you have the taste buds of a smoker is burn their taste buds completely off. That's all the chemo from a hair's bottle can say.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mully has entered the building. So in my defense. I don't think you have a defense. You drink a regular damn Pepsi and couldn't get it out of the diet.

What defense do you have? No this reminds me didn't you switch out of Coke first Pepsi once you get into the pandemic. Yes it is. We switched out of the diet Pepsi with diet Coke and he had no idea.

This is the best I've ever had. Defend that. Go for it. Tell me how you're not other than I'm stupid.

How are you going to defend that? Johnny Cochran. He can't breathe. I like to put it out of exhibit A.

So it's not a more serious note. Let's get into ghost and religion. So here's the thing I am going to defend this. I don't know how.

It's a fountain drink there. Water anyway. Oh my god. That's your defense.

That is my defense. I snap it out sir. Oh my you know what? You know if I ever get arrested you're not I'm going to hire somebody else.

You make a terrible lawyer. In my defense honor. It's a fountain drink. You're like make the whistle.

You know I watched him stab him but he didn't do it. Because it was a better knife. It was a better knife. I shouldn't have killed him.

At least take nine. It's going to be that one fourth. It's okay. No you don't understand.

I yelled surprise. That was him. That goes back. That's an inside joke.

No I know. I'm not going to tell the joke because it's. Oh we'll get crucified by eyeliner. So our show would be cancelled.

Surprise. John's ass. That's what I said. John's ass.

That's what I said. That's what I said. So the John's ass surprise. If you want to know the joke email me at Tim at risk.org.

There is a disclaimer on it. It's a pretty bad joke. I just got a whole lot. The whole room was just like crying.

I did. Welcome to the Super Digital Hour where we talk about nothing but Pepsi and surprise. Alright so that's actually a good mistake. I heard a footstep.

Tell us about your footstep hearing. That's it. Well there were a lot of people there right? Yeah there was a footstep everywhere.

People got up and down stairs. It was just it was. It was opening a closed door. Taper cord is going on and off.

You know people are saying whispering for the recording. There was all sorts of stuff that happened last night. I heard voices in the dark. So I actually had some of the take a hold of the approach to me at the investigation.

They're fairly new to investigating. Never been to bits and bits before. One of them had the other one had and they were only able to go into like four buildings. They wanted to go and investigate in the barn and wanted me and some of the other investigators to take them.

So we did. And we're in there with Paul and some of the other investigators. And we started asking the spirits questions in there. And there was one particular spirit that I was warned beforehand that was kind of grumpy.

You are welcome. Thank you. And for some reason during the course of the investigation like he has voiced like we turned on Echo box and his voice started coming through the Echo box. So I started asking him questions.

Or actually there was a little boy named Andrew there. And we were asking questions to Andrew about the man. And I guess the guy got kind of agitated. Like Paul was like picking up on the feeling that no one's ever really noticed that this man's in the barn.

And no one's ever really paid him any attention. He just kind of likes to be left alone. And here I am asking this little spirit if you know if he's friends with the man or if the man does magic tricks for him. And you know promises him stuff.

And has him go and spy on other spirits and stuff like that. And all of a sudden just like in the middle of me asking a question. Everyone's like to do hear that and I stop talking. And you hear and if you've ever been to this barn at the Bensoncrest mill.

There's really no easy way to get up onto the second floor there. Like you have to climb over some ladder and like move your body on some weird way just to get up there. Like it's not readily accessible. Yeah, these are for storage.

But it's an ordeal to get stuff in and out of there. Yeah, it's not it's not easily accessible for anyone. So as I'm asking this question we hear what sounds like it starts on the north side of the building or the building. Or the barn which is away from where like you'd be able to get up there anyways.

And we heard at least five or six footsteps loud footsteps walking across the second floor of the barn. And the first thing I said was Paul did you have your core going. He's like yes I did. And then he kind of turned it on because he does not only does he do his magazine but he's got this video YouTube show that he's starting up as well.

And so he did like a quick little interview with me on the spot to ask about what had just happened. But yeah, everyone that was in the barn at that time we all heard the footsteps walking across that second level. And that was about the extent of the activity that I had from the start of the investigation. So that was his way of telling you to buckle off?

Yeah, pretty much. That's kind of the feeling we got is he just didn't want us asking about him anymore. So he just kind of stopped around and we're like, all right, we backed up our stuff and moved on to a different spot with any. You know, my experience there last night was I had a ton of ghost meter productivity.

It's kind of funning because I was in a cabin with two investigators and by investigators, I mean guests. Not actually like our investigative team but just an investigation came to the event. And we're talking with somebody and we're kind of getting kind of haywire answers kind of this that and the other and Tim came in. And basically asking the concern for us is Andrew?

Yes, it actually been the spirit that Tim was talking to at Wanda D'Ovar and was kind of screwing with us a little bit. It was interesting last night. We did have some activity but not a ton. It was kind of a quiet night.

We've kind of experienced it and I know we've talked about it on the show before but sometimes ghost nights kind of like fishing. Sometimes you go out and you can catch every fish in the lake and other times you go out at same bait, same time of day, same weather conditions and it's pretty slow. And it was actually kind of a slow investigation last night. Everyone that was in the barn with me was ecstatic that they actually heard footsteps.

I know what else said that she heard some footsteps in the barn later. She went in there I think by herself and her footsteps. I know that I went to the top floor of the big mill and you could feel some pretty crazy energy up there. I'll settle a bit of activity on the main floor of the big mill and then out in the schoolhouse we had quite a bit of activity with the flashlights, ghost meter pro and some things of that nature.

But overall everybody said it was a relatively slow night and I would have to agree with them. For Ben Thingress Mill it was a little underwhelming overall but it was still at a good time. I don't know if you had a good time or not. I have a fantastic time.

No, it was actually really fun and I'm excited to see if anyone got any EVPs. I know the people that I was working with yesterday, I'm pretty sure they got some EVPs. I know they had some from a family tree that they wanted to afford on to us. Well I was going to say and in my experience usually when the investigation is quite as far as activity that you're having happening in your face kind of thing.

When it's quiet and you're not seeing much you're hearing much that's usually when you get a lot more EVPs than when things are going kind of crazy. Didn't have some fun moments yesterday. I know there was a guy rolling around. I remember his name was but he had a GoPro and some infrared.

He had a GoPro attached to his hat. He just see the two red dots on his hat and it looks like these little beady eyes. And he's kind of a tall guy. He's probably about 6'6".

Yeah so if you didn't know he was in the room and you walk in there and see that you think he'd seen these red glowing eyes. It was his infrared light. Yeah we were in one of the cabins. One of the doors was kind of blown open and closed, opened and closed.

And one of our guests, her name was Shannon. She was kind of put her head around the corner to see what's going off the door. And that's right when he came walking around the corner and she about shitting down both legs. And because she was so scared her daughter who was with her she freaked out.

So we had kind of a fun little freaked out moment where a couple people had heart attacks. Which is why we signed waivers. So if you have a heart attack we're not responding. That's when you die.

But we just go to EVPs. So anything else you want to talk about? Negative. Okay and we'll talk about it here in a minute.

We do have another investigation coming up. We'll give details before we have the show. So by the time this airs that investigation should be up and ready to go. So last show we talked about ghosts and religion.

Tell us how you really feel. Yeah we're going to go upstairs and play video games. We are going to talk ghost and religion some more. Hopefully we made the show entertaining.

This is the point that you're committed and stick around. I thought that these were more interesting. I don't know if they could just go say we're different. So let's talk ghost and Islam first.

So we've talked ghost and Catholicism. We've talked ghost and Mormonism. We've talked ghost and Jehovah's Witnesses. Let's talk ghost and Islam.

Do you want to start with that? Yeah. We prepared. Yes.

I am prepared. So Islam I thought was interesting because before I started doing research on it I thought, you know, I don't know much about Islam. I thought they're probably going to be like all anti-ghost and know it's not a thing. But they're going to fall over it.

Now keep in mind I don't know a whole lot about it. So that's just what I was able to pull off the internet. There was a poll that was done and there was quite a large percentage of Muslims in Asia, Africa and Southeast Europe that believe in the gin, witchcraft, tellsmen's and spiritual healers. Now Islam as a whole suggests that you should not use talisman.

You should just do everything through God. But there is and it really talked mostly about the gin. And there's reference to the gin in the Quran and there was another scripture that they use. And they refer to that in that scripture as well.

So I thought it was interesting. So kind of some of my research with ghost and Islam and like you I'm not totally familiar with Islam. It's I'm not Islamic. So I don't know.

I'm just going off of what I researched. From what I found out the Quran does not really talk about the existence of ghosts per se. But Islam does teach that generally the spirit remains in the grave with the body. But the Islamic religion teaches that there are spirits that were created both good and evil.

Kind of before humanity, to worship God or Allah. And that would be like a equivalent of angels and gin and things of that nature that they were created before man to worship God. A little bit on that poll that you talked about. I actually did pull some numbers on that.

I'm assuming it's the same poll. But it kind of goes by region and belief. So if we go to southeast Asia, 77% of Islamists believe in gin. 35% believe in witchcraft.

26% use talismans and 55% use spiritual healers. If we go to sub-Saharan Africa, and this is not complete for sub-Saharan Africa, but they didn't have a result on the gin. But 35% believe in witchcraft and 44% believe in spiritual healers. Middle East and North Africa, 69% believe in gin.

6% witchcraft, 18% talismans, and 41% use spiritual healers. Yeah, I'm going to interrupt you because this is for you now. Okay. Moving on.

One thing I thought was interesting about Islam that I didn't really read in any of the other religions that we've done. But there was a lot of talk of the evil eye. And by evil eye, at least in the Islam religion, they're referring to people that cause curses or bad things to happen. And it's even mentioned in the Quran and in their other scripture is called the hadith, which I've never heard of before.

And I do have scriptural references if you all want to look that up. What's your pride, obviously? As we're working on that, we're working on my stats. As we turn to Matthew chapter 5 verse 1, we'll rest up.

They don't believe in the Matthews. We're in the Quran. We'll turn the time on. Or according to Castle Joan.

I don't say Joan. I don't say Joan. I don't look at Joan. Go back and listen to it.

You said Joan. You did. We made fun of you. Moving on to ghost and Judaism.

I also don't believe in Joan. Senator Vark. So, ghosts and Judaism. So kind of a little bit of research on ghosts and Judaism.

I have a couple of bullet points here. Ghosts exist, but they should not be consulted. It's kind of the general overview of Judaism. And they're called the book, if I'm pronouncing that right, which I probably not.

The book. The book. The book. I'm reading that book.

You need an app. Yes, I probably do. The book actually means to cling or cleave. And they believe that these spirits can attach or possess a person.

So the book is kind of like a Klingon. So if you have an attachment, you have a Klingon. No, it starts with a Klingon. They have funny foreheads.

So the books are considered spirits that can cling on to people. They will do battle with you with their battles. Beat me up. You have no honor.

So I believe these ghosts can attach or possess a person and they do this to either live vicariously through a person or to control the person. But Judaism also believes that spirits can attach to become spirit guides. So Judaism does believe in spirit guides and that these attachments are clean ons are not necessarily bad technically and it would be a Klingon. I think it's funny that you guys are just now researching this.

I'm never really a character research student. No, just like other religions in general when it comes to paranormal. Well, where are you talking? We're pretty much dealing with LDS and Christian.

We haven't really dealt with a whole lot of... I don't know, we've ever had any... Jew-dism... Jewish...

Jewish... In the residential that I've done, it's been mostly LDS, inactive LDS or Catholic. I don't know what I've ever dealt with. Books are hard.

Familiar with those religions that we actually deal with. I'd be just general Christianity, Catholicism, LDS. Alright, so... Here I'll save you.

So I found it interesting that in the Jewish religion, there were kind of split a little bit as in there wasn't just one thought. There's a couple different little venues. Some of them believe that ghosts are just spirits. Well, and there's another sect of the Jewish religion that says that they can be resurrected with bodies.

There are some that think evil spirits are actual evil spirits or type 3s, and there are some that think evil spirits is just another way of saying mental illness. I just found it interesting that there's a little split. So when I did those... In the Jewish religion, they believe in Old Testament, not New Testament, and in the Old Testament, there are reference to demons, goat demons and devils.

And if you are a King James version of the Bible, they've renamed goat demons to devils. Just a little trivia there. It kind of mentioned that they talk about like ghosts possessions, like ghosts, and possess bodies, but they said that not everyone is aware of these possessions. And I think that actually is consistent with some of what we've dealt with is there's people who have got more or less possessions, but they're not like slobbering speaking tongues.

They just have got stuff going on with them. And there's actually a couple cases that outlined in the Old Testament, which we're not going to get into because that's boring. We'd have like a 10 moment where everybody turned to Matthew Page, chapter 10. That was you last week, man.
