Welcome to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM paranormal
podcast network. Now get ready for us Strange Things with

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Ready, you will be amazed by the wizard of Weird.
This is Strange Thing. I am Joshua by Warren, and
each week on this show I'll be bringing you brand
new my blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you
(01:18):
can do at home and a lot more on this
edition of the show, Create a Psychic Experiment Kit for pennies.
This is the final installment in my recent series about
how you can use common household items, things that you
(01:39):
probably have on hand or certainly can obtain for cheap,
in order to create paranormal investigation tools. And this can
be if you are a hobbyist or if just something
spontaneously happens at your house and you have to scramble
to document it. It is based upon the book that
I wrote years ago called poor Man's Paranormal, a manual
(02:03):
on using household items to document ghosts, UFOs, cryptids and
psychic activity. Right now it has been called the Paranormal mcguiver. Well,
in some of my recent shows, I've already covered the others.
I told you how to create items that can document
help you document ghosts and UFOs and cryptids, and so
(02:26):
now we're going to finish the series with yes psychic
phenomena and ESP. Here we go. Psychic activity or ESP,
that is extrasensory perception exemplifies how humans can sense or
interact with energies not understood by mainstream scientists. Now, everything
(02:50):
covered in the previous sections on ghosts, UFOs, and cryptids
can be helpful and examining psychic claims. However, these simple
tips can help you both explore and test someone, maybe
even yourself for ESP. First, one of my favorites, the
(03:11):
energy will. One of the most fascinating psychic phenomena is
telekinesis or TK, the ability to control a physical object
using nothing but direct thought. Alone. Think of how the
jedis move things around in Star Wars. Well, the energy
will is one of the best ways to test and
(03:33):
even develop such possible skills. Here's all you have to do.
Take a chunk of foam or an eraser or some
similar substance, and just push a straight pin or needle
through it. All you need is for this needle to
stand up straight on its own with the sharp point
at the top. And next, take a square of lightweight
(03:57):
paper that is approximately fourign by four inches. And let
me pause for those of you who are listening in
other countries, let's see what four inches is to centimeters
it is I don't do not memorize conversions. It looks
like it's going to be ten centimeters by ten centimeters.
(04:19):
So you have a square of paper that's four inches
by four inches or ten centimeters by ten centimeters, and
you fold it diagonally one way, and then you unfold it,
and then you fold it diagonally the other way, and
then you unfold it, and now you'll have what looks
like a small paper pyramid. You just set this paper
(04:41):
pyramid on top of the needle so that its inner
apex rests on the sharp tip. And so now you
have this paper pyramid that can spin around freely, sort
of like a pin. Well, I guess, so next, what
you want to do is place your hands on either
side of the needle and focus on making it spin
(05:05):
in the beginning direction does not matter. Eventually you'll want
to try to force it clockwise or counterclockwise, and after
much practice, an advanced user may even be able to
make it spin under a glass. Now there is no
hard and fast rule about how you should place your hands.
You might just put your hands on each side with
(05:25):
the palms open and facing the energy will Or you
might try putting the hands in a similar position where
one hand has the palm facing and then the other
hand has the back of a hand facing. You might
put one hand above the wheel. Try different configurations, but
the biggest thing is you'd want to rule out wind
(05:47):
or your breath or something blowing it around. You might
even want to put some type of a well like
a mask on, or you might want to again graduate
to shielding it under some kind of a glass. It
doesn't matter. But the more you practic this with it,
the more you'll find out what may work for you.
And I actually got to the point one time years
ago where I was practicing this every day and I
(06:07):
actually could get this to spin under a glass, and
I even have video footage of that I posted somewhere
on YouTube. So the energy will is a very simple device,
and it can be used to test someone who claims
to possess telekinesis, or to train yourself to develop telekinetic
skills over time. And keep in mind that if you
(06:30):
can just maybe put your hands around it and it
might start naturally moving as the energy naturally flows around
your body. But of course the next big step, the
holy Grail, is trying to control that energy flow so
that you can manipulate the object. Next, we have the pendulum. Now,
if you hold a string in your hand with a
(06:52):
small weight on the end, just like a phishing sinker,
you have a basic pendulum. And you can even get
results by taking off a common necklace and holding one
end with a pendant swinging at the bottom. And this
can be used to test psychic knowledge now regardless of
your dominant hand. Actually I guess it does. It might
(07:15):
be helpful if you use your dominant hand in the beginning.
But what you want to do is you rest your
elbow on a table and you hold the top of
your pendulum, and it doesn't really matter how you hold it.
I have a tendency to hold it with my thumb
and index and middle finger just the top of the
pendulum cord. But just make sure the bottom of the
(07:37):
pendulum does not touch the table and can swing freely.
Calm yourself until it is still, and once still, just
sit there and in vision it swinging clockwise. In a
few moments, it will swing clockwise. Now calm yourself again
and have it go still, and now visualize it swinging
(07:59):
count clockwise and it will swing counterclockwise. Do this again,
envisioning it swinging back and forth, and then again envision
it swinging side to side, and you will see that
what you envision makes the pendulum swing in a certain way.
This is a known scientific phenomenon called automatism, and it
(08:24):
is an understood process by which that which you envision
affects microscopic impulses in your muscles to affect the world
around you. So, even though you may not realize you're
intentionally doing this, you are intentionally doing this subconsciously. So
once you've done that basic exercise to get the feeling
(08:46):
for the pendulum. You want to pick the two motions
that were easiest for you. Was it clockwise versus counterclockwise
or was it back and forth or was it side
to side. Pick one of those that you liked. Let's
say you pick clockwise versus counterclockwise. Well, then you should
visualize it swinging clockwise and then you say out loud
(09:10):
to the pendulum this means yes. And then you let
it spin that way. And then you calm yourself, and
then you make it swing counterclockwise and you say this
means no, and you let it swing that way for
a while. Well, you have now programmed your pendulum. That
(09:30):
is how you program a pendulum. It doesn't matter what
motion you pick. You must establish this represents yes, this
represents no. Now, a programmed pendulum is used to divine
for knowledge, you can sit and ask the pendulum questions,
judging a yes or no response based on how it swings.
(09:51):
You can test and perfect the ability by having someone
flip a coin and then you can ask your pendulum
if it's heads or tell. But if you find a
technique works amazingly well for you or someone else, experiment
with using it to divine any knowledge you want. I mean,
if you can get answers to YESTERDA no questions, you
(10:13):
can use that to work your way to just about
anything you want to know. And that's a very easy
way to do it. Next, we have dowsing rods. Dowsing
rods are used much like the pendulum. They are created
to extract information about ethereal matters, and though they have
become most popular as detectors of underground substances like water
(10:35):
or oil, they can be programmed just like the pendulum
for psychic experiments of any kind. It's easy to make
dowsing rods. You simply need a metal wire coahangar with pliers,
and you cut the hanger just below the hook on
either side, and you can throw the hook away you
won't need it, And then make a single cut in
the middle of the bottom wire, and that will give
(10:56):
you two angled sections of wire. You bend each of
them out into l shapes, and these are your two
dowsing rods. The short end is your handles. Okay, so
you want to loosely hold those short ends of each
dowsing rod in your hands like guns, and you hold
(11:18):
your hands about one inch apart and level right in
front of you, and you watch how they swing. And
when we come back, I'm going to tell you what
else you need to do with the dowsing rods, and
then we're going to get into some very simple things
you can do if you don't want to build anything,
just with playing cards, coins and dice. You know what.
(11:39):

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your
worm Whole brand from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada.
We're every day is Golden and every night is silver.
(15:03):
Agiatacto Zume and back to dowsing rods. They're very simple
to make. You get that coahangar. You cut those sections
out and again you want to hold each one of
these L shaped wires by the short part, just like
you're holding guns. But you hold your hands out in
(15:25):
front of you about an inch apart and you hold
it level, so those long wires are parallel to the
ground and then you just watch how they swing. And
just like with the pendulum, you have to program them
by asking them to swing together or apart. And once
you can consciously make them swing either together or apart,
(15:48):
tell them to swing together to indicate one thing and
to part to indicate another. So for example, maybe if
they swing together that means yes, and if they swing
part that means no. Or you can be more specific.
You can say I want you to swing together when
there is water below me, and stay apart when there
(16:12):
is no water below me. There is no limit on
how this technique can be used. In fact, both the
pendulum and dowsing rod methods can be used over maps
instead of the actual land to experimentally obtain information about
geographic terrains. Yes, you don't even have to be on location.
(16:32):
A lot of people hire folks. I've heard take out
a map successful dowsers and defined where oil or gold
may be. And I know in Vietnam they certainly use
dowsers to try to find land mines and underground tunnels
where the enemy was hiding and that sort of thing.
(16:53):
This next section here is playing cards, coins and dice.
Perhaps the oldest and simplest way of ten and exploring
psychic activity is by way of coins and cards. Since
these are almost always nearby, never forget to implement them.
Anything that has been used in gambling is a good
tool for testing ESP. When flipping a coin, there is
(17:17):
generally a fifty to fifty chance of the outcome, and
this can be used to determine someone's clairvoyance easily. It
can even be more effectively done using a dye or
a pair of dice. Die are actually better since the
die may be more I guess dice are actually better
(17:37):
since the die or the dice may be more balanced
and has six possible outcomes. So if you use dice,
put them in a plastic cup with an identical cup
on top and shake them together between the two cups
so that you're not directly touching them before spilling them
on the table. Using those cups ensures the shaker's hands
(17:58):
never come into contact with the die and cannot possibly
influence the outcome. Now, the famous ESP cards developed by
the Ryan Research Center feature symbols like a star, wavy lines, square, etc.
And you can make your own symbol cards or just
use playing cards. When using standard playing cards, start by
(18:20):
asking the test subject to guess red or black, and
then you can get more specific. Next move on to
the suit, finally to the number. All of these psychic
testers can be utilized in almost any way, whether gaining
information about something that should not be conventionally known or
(18:40):
communicating with another intelligence. These are important tools. The mind,
body and environment relationship of ESP is the glue that
binds all paranormal activity together. And here's one last thing
now that I've given you tips over these podcasts on
how to create a kit to investigate ghosts or UFOs
(19:03):
or cryptids. Though everyone needs a starting point, we must
caution against prematurely defining and categorizing a particular paranormal phenomenon.
Just because we designate some activity is related to ghosts
or UFOs or cryptids, that does not mean that they
are all separated. They're actually intimately connected in some way.
(19:26):
And so the information I've given you should be used
to help you document anything that is currently not properly
explained by mainstream scientists. So within these simple, accessible tools
and techniques, you should have all you need to start
leading you down the path to truths, whatever it may be,
(19:48):
and to ensure you're at your best. I suggest you
practice everything in advance, make a project of it, gather
your friends one evening, make a party. Kids love this.
It's a great way to learn about science. But do
it now so that you will be already kind of
aware of how this functions, and you'll have that knowledge
(20:08):
on hand instantly when you need it the most. And
you know, regardless of what you choose to study, patience
is a virtue. Once your tools are in place, be observant,
quiet and relaxed, Be reserved, and just see what happens
around you. And of course, if you need help with
any of those projects, you can always just visit my website.
(20:32):
If you'd like to get a copy of The poor
Man's Paranormal, it's in my Curiosity Shop at Joshua Pwarren
dot com. It comes with a number of other PDFs
that you can instantly download for cheap. But remember what
I told you. One of the most important tools to
possess altogether as a compass for both determining direction and
detecting electrical disturbances. And remember that all the high tech
(20:56):
resources big budget investigators have basically document the very same
thing things that you can document with these household items.
Benjamin Franklin proved to his own satisfaction that lightning is
an electrostatic power using a kite, a key, a glass jar,
(21:19):
and some metal foil. Okay, always remember that he also
discovered the Gulf Stream by dipping bottles of Madeira wine
that he had drank at various intervals into the ocean
water as he was crossing the Atlantic. So profound information
(21:44):
can and will be gleaned by what you cobble together
in your own home today, so be sure to remember that.
So that's it. Here endeth the lesson, and I hope
that all of those things are helpful in one way
or another. You know, it's funny. For years, my mother
and father, Danny and Peggy Warren, were big land developers
(22:08):
in western North Carolina, And you know, I've interviewed both
of them on this show. And my mom has had
a lot of psychic experiences throughout her life. My dad
has always been open to it, but he's never really
been an enthusiast, and he just never knew what to
think of it. But I tell you one thing, when
money was on the line as land developers and they
were trying to figure out where to drill a well.
(22:31):
My dad every time he would go out and he
would get he'd had his set at dowsing rods, and
he would take those dowsing rods out and he would
find exactly where the water was. And you'd have these
I guess they call them Martesian wells that you know
they dig and all of a sudden, boom, the water
would just come squirting, jetting up into the sky. He
(22:51):
found those all the time using dowsing I don't know
how to explain that. And by the way, you know,
when you make those dowsing rods, you can just hold
those wire handles like I explained, Or if you want
them to swing more fluidly, you can take something like
a drinking straw and cut a little section off and
slip it over so it makes for like a plastic
(23:13):
covering between your hand and the wires so they swing
more fluidly. Or you can take a little piece of
PVC pipe and do the same thing any kind of tubing.
So those are tips for you to remember. I also
want to give some shout outs here to some people
who influenced me a lot when it came to me
understanding the reality of psychic phenomena. The first psychic I
(23:34):
really became friends with who impressed me was Angela fay Moore,
who lives in western North Carolina. I've talked about Angela
More a lot, and there were times where I was
growing up. She would go on investigations, she would come
to events and I would see people crying, and you know,
she was really impressing a lot of folks. And Angela,
(23:55):
she I'm sure would love to hear from you. She's
happy to psychic work, and I believe that she doesn't
even charge for it. I think she just takes donations.
Her website is Angela Fayemore dot com. Fay is spelled
with an e on the end, fa Ye Angela Faymore
dot com. Go look her up. And then when I
(24:16):
started getting into the TV business, I met Karen Reese,
and Karen Reese was profound because that we were working
together on this show while you've heard me talk about
it called Xops, and before the show even started, the
very first day I met her, let's see, Actually no,
that's not right. I worked on two shows with her. Anyway,
(24:39):
it doesn't matter. One of the shows I worked on
with her. The first day we got together and she
took out. Okay, there was a production person who came
up to her and said, I have a purse here,
Why can you tell me about it? And Karen Reese said, well,
this belonged to your mother. And she started telling this
(24:59):
lady all about her mother with all these details and
dates and names, and again the woman breaks down starts crying.
It was crazy. And Karen has helped people get LOTO numbers. Anyway.
Her website is karen rest dot com k a r
y n r e e c e k a r
y n That's how she spells Karen Karen reestot com.
The third person I want to tell you about is
(25:20):
Laura Lee. I also met on a TV show and
Laura Lee one time. Okay, I was sort of sequestered
with her in a room while we were waiting for
some production queue, and so she said, well, what would
you like to know? And I said, well, I had
a friend who recently died. What can you tell me
about that friend? And she started describing this man who
(25:41):
had recently died like you wouldn't believe that he had
a funny hat he used to wear all the time,
and he had a strange white beard but no mustache,
and he was a scientist, and she was just telling
me all about him, and it just blew me away.
Her website is Radio Medium Laura Lee l E. Radio
Medium Laura Lee. Check out one of those ladies if
(26:05):
you're interested and communicating with a psychic. Well, when we
come back from this break, I'd like to pay tribute
to an amazing artist who is no longer with us.
He was a great friend of mine for a long time.
I'm Joshua P.

(28:11):
iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I'm
your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show
where the unusual becomes usual. If you've followed my work
over the years, then you have most certainly enjoyed the
(28:33):
art of Tim Peterson. He was one of my best friends,
and he died recently unexpectedly, at the age of forty seven.
We met in high school, Clyde A. Irwin High in Ashfield,
North Carolina, back in the early nineties. I was already
writing books as a teen and I needed a professional
(28:56):
level artist, and somehow I found out about this other kid,
a prodigy named Tim Peterson. Peterson is spelled p E
d e r s e n. He was tall and lanky,
with wild black hair, and his eyes were dark, but
they always had this comedic spark. He was always kind
(29:19):
of smirking at the world, and the first time I
saw him draw, I was astounded. The pictures that flowed
from the end of his pen looked like they were
being magically printed by a machine right in front of
my eyes. And it turns out he could do it all,
not just draw, but paint with various media. He was
(29:42):
also great at playing the guitar and the keys, but
he was especially on the cutting edge of computer graphics,
which was of great importance to me for book covers
and such. So over the years we worked together to
create covers for my early book Looks Like Speaking of
Strange and Plausible Ghosts. In fact, we decided to collaborate
(30:05):
on a children's book called The Lonely Ameba. It was
kind of like a Doctor Seuss book. I wrote the
whole thing in rhyming verse, and he illustrated the whole
thing with watercolor. It was published in hardback and it
turned out fantastic, and we did book signings and fun
events together. When I wrote Haunted Ashville, I took the
(30:25):
photographs for the original cover and gave them to him,
and he created one of the most memorable ghost book
covers of all time in my opinion. Tim was originally
from Florida, so we did some little projects like a
book called Young Artists of Florida and then another rare
book called North Carolina UFOs, and the list just goes on. Well.
(30:50):
In high school, he and I, of course were always
hanging out, always getting into mischief. He had this insane
sense of humor, even crazier than mine, and the two
of us together pulled off some pretty elaborate pranks. And
in fact, we were so close in high school that
for our senior year, I wrote the theme and cover
(31:10):
description for the yearbook and he created it with an airbrush,
this mystical vision. So we even created the darn graduation
yearbook together. As a matter of fact, it's kind of funny.
Reminds me that I think that I wrote that the
phrase on the cover of the yearbook should be the
dawning of a new perspective. And when they all came out,
(31:34):
there was I guess a miscommunication and it said the
dawning of a new prospective. So perspective is per and
prospective pro So that was kind of I don't know,
it was just a weird thing that I always think
of when it comes to that yearbook. But you know,
it worked out either way. So over the years, we
continued working together on countless projects. I have so many
(31:56):
memories of adventures with Tim that it's impossible to recall
them all. Well, I mean, right out of high school,
we traveled to New Orleans together to explore the weird culture,
and my mom told me she was worried, sick about
the two of us alone in New Orleans where we
knew no one and it was Marti Grop. We weren't
even drinking age. But trust me, nobody in New Orleans cared.
(32:18):
In fact, if you go back and listen to episode
twenty five of this podcast Strange Things, Episode twenty five
is called Our Weird Moon and My Encounter with Real Vampires. Well,
I told this story about me and Tim being in
New Orleans and getting into this real pickle with some
vampires down by the Mississippi River one night. And in
(32:42):
the episode, as I was telling the story, I claimed
that I had changed the name of my friend, but
actually I did not. I said his name was Tim,
and that was true. So after high school, Tim moved
to Atlanta for a while. I went down to visit him,
and you have all these memories, you know. I remember
one day we walked into this eclectic record store and
(33:04):
ran right into Taylor Hawkins, the drummer for Foo Fighters,
Dave Grohl's band, and he was super nice and we
chatted with him for a while. And Taylor Hawkins is
now no longer with us. He died in twenty twenty
two at age fifty. Well, Tim, he was always looking
(33:24):
for more adventure. He then he moved to New York
City for a while and then finally to Los Angeles, California.
And there, I mean he quickly became a very successful
person as a commercial artist in Los Angeles, I mean,
working for big firms, designing everything from billboards to candy
bar rappers to web campaigns. He was doing well and
(33:46):
he was making a lot of money. And sometimes I
would visit him in LA and we would go to
some pretty fancy places like Soho House, West Hollywood, and
I remember one night in twenty eighteen we went to
this nice bar where they filmed a part of the
movie ed Wood. That's one of my favorite films, ed
Would by Tim Burton. So you know, I just have
(34:09):
all these interesting memories of things that you know, we
experienced together. And when he was there in La I mean,
things were going well for quite a while for him.
I mean, roommates and girlfriends would occasionally come and go,
but he never had kids, he never got married, and
he primarily lived alone. But Tim, he liked to go
(34:30):
out and have a good time, and he did that
a lot, and that eventually got out of control and
started to take a toll on his health. And I
don't know exactly what happened to him at the least
at this point, but you know, he recently died again,
age forty seven. And of course that happens to a
(34:53):
lot of great artists with insatiable appetites who just want
to go out and have this grand life life experience.
But you know, there's nothing I can really say to
capture the true essence of the guy. I mean, even
though we were such friends, he was always sort of
a loner with an attitude. And of course a part
(35:15):
of me is very sad, but honestly, there's a greater
part of me that feels happy that he enjoyed such
a fun wild ride in this life and he didn't
have to grow old, because I do not think he
would have been very happy as an old man. So
(35:39):
God bless you, Tim, I love you. Thank you for
sharing your talent and your warmth and friendship. And I
can imagine that you will never be a ghost.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
On this earth.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
You're out there soaring through the cosmos right now like
some psychedelic superman, and I am sure that you will
paint the sky. You know. Hank Williams said, no matter
how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of
(36:14):
this world alive. And my friend Bill Banner, who lived
to be an old man, always said, the thing that
sucks about living to be old is watching all of
your friends die. Ain't that the truth? You know? You've
probably heard this story that Harry Houdini told his wife
(36:37):
that he was going to give her this secret code
that only the two of them would know, and that
if he died before her and she wanted to test
out one of these psychics or medium mediums, that he
would pass along this code. And most people say that
(37:01):
she tried. She had seances and she met all these
psychics and stuff and that she never got the code.
But then there are other people who say no, no, no,
that's not true. She actually did get the code. In fact,
there was this psychic at the time named Arthur Ford,
(37:21):
and he has witnesses and documentation. He wrote a book
about this. He said that he was able to get
the code from Houdini on the other side after Houdini died,
and that he was able to get a meeting with
Houdini's wife and she confirmed that it was correct. The
message from the other side was quote rose a bell
(37:46):
answer tail pray answer look tail answer answer tail end quote.
Now that may not make a lot of sense, but
they said it was based on both sentimentality and an
old Vaudeville mind reading routine because roose Belt roose Belt
was the name of the song she sang in her
(38:10):
act when they first met, and her wedding band had
this inscription and said rose Belt. The other words correspond
to a secret spelling code used to pass information between
a magician and his assistant during a mentalism act, where
each word or word pair would equal a letter, so
like the word answer stood for the letter B or
(38:31):
answer answers stood for the little D letter V. Maybe
you get the picture. But anyway, so the second phrase
spelled out the word believe. So basically it was like
roosebel this word that was sacred enough for her to
have on her wedding ring, and then believe. So I
don't know what to believe. That was a long time ago,
(38:52):
and I don't think we'll ever know exactly what to believe.
But I have tried that with a number of my
friends who have passed on. You know, I've had older
folks who I assumed would pass on before me, and
I have established a code word with them, and so
(39:12):
far I have not had and it's been a different
code word for each person a case only I'm the
person know this. So far, nothing has conclusively been communicated
with me. But something happened to me recently. That is
the closest I've come to having one of my friends
(39:33):
who passed on give me the secret word. When we
come back, I will explain that, and then I'll tell
you about that story. And then I actually have kind
of a funny, weird story I'm going to share with you.
I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on

New shows come out every Friday, so I'll be looking
for you right here on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things of the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Lauren.
And when I in Puerto Rico, my best friend was
this lady named Margarita. We called her Itta and she
(42:09):
was She was a tough, fireball over woman. She was
a retired Navy officer. She could drink just about anybody
under the table. She had a boat and she would
take me and Barn out to these islands, and I
mean we would go off and have adventures and explore
(42:30):
UFOs and chwo pacabras and I mean all that kind
of stuff. She looked like the type of person like
she She was very healthy, and you just thought she
was going to live forever. And then when I moved
from Puerto Rico to Las Vegas, of course we kept
in touch. And a couple of years ago she told
(42:52):
me that she had pancreatic cancer. Now she was in
her sixties, and as you probably know, pancreatic cancer is
a tough thing to beat. So we started having you know,
that conversation like, well, if this is the end, thank
you for your friendship, et cetera. But I told her,
(43:12):
let's come up with a code word, you know, if
if you if you don't make it. And so I
came up with one word as a code word. We
agreed upon this just you know online, it's just direct messaging.
And so after she died, you know, I kept looking
for that word and it was it wasn't popping up.
(43:36):
And then just recently, I was sitting out back at
my house next to the swimming pool, and I was
I told Lauren that I had I had done this,
you know, that I'd created this code word for Ida
and I had never received it. And I said, what
do you think it is? And Lauren said the word?
(43:59):
And I was like, wow, that's kind of chilling because
I'd be like, now that was that was a jarring thing.
And Lauren said, maybe this is how the word was
supposed to be, you know, communicated to you. And that
may be, but I still can't consider that conclusive proof
(44:19):
because Lauren also knew Ida, and she might have been
able to guess that word, even if it's subconscious. Also,
Lauren and I, you know, we've been together for a
long time and I think we have a lot of telepathy,
so she may have plucked it out of my head.
So I still can't say that's conclusive evidence. But that's
the closest I've come, and that actually, you know, I mean,
(44:41):
that made an impact on me. So maybe you should
try that out with some of your loved ones. You
never know who's going to die first. Just because you're
the younger one, that doesn't mean that something bad can't
happen to you. Try out the code word method and
just see what you come up with. It's a very
interesting project when when you know somebody close like that
(45:02):
and then they pass on. Uh, you know what, before
I tell you this kind of weird, funny story about
something that recently happened to me. Uh, let me, let
me read an email. I have an email I've had
on hold for a while from a guy named Mike,
and I read one of his emails before because he
had told me he'd had this like string of bad luck,
(45:22):
and then he downloaded one of the sigils from the
sigil lab dot com. Uh, it might have been the
money sigil, but we also have a money luck sigel
there that you can go and save. It's all free
at the sigil lab dot com. But anyway, he had
this like string of bad luck and then he got them.
He got the sigil, and the day he got the sigil,
(45:44):
his luck turned around. He said that you know, he
had he had had luggage that was missing from his
airplane flight and as soon as he got the sigil, boom,
they found the luggage intact, nothing missing. He'd been had
a situation with this house this new house that he
was trying to deal with, and it had been complicated
(46:05):
and all of it smoothed down, and he starts just,
you know, writing me, telling me all this, and so
I read at some point one of his messages and
then then he wrote me this the other day and
he says, oh, also says, I hadn't realized it. Not
only did you decide to produce the lux sigitl the
(46:27):
day I needed it, but but you prepared the podcast
mentioning my experience the same week as my thirtieth wedding anniversary,
which actually kind of plays into the story. And he says,
if that's not proof that sigil's work, what a strange coincidence.
Thank you for the wonderful anniversary gift. Forever listening. So
(46:47):
I know that as it totally makes sense out of
consecutive order here with some of the things that has
he's experienced. But what I just thought was interesting was that,
you know, he he keeps telling me that all this
stuff is turned around since he's used that sigil. So
I hope that you'll go to the sigil lab dot
com and just save some sigil that catches your eye
(47:08):
and experiment with it yourself. He also mentioned this in
one of his emails, just as a side note, and
I'm not sure if I got back to him about this.
He said, I've never encountered a haunted object, he said,
but perhaps you need to ask permission before moving them,
like those who get permission from Robert the Doll before
(47:29):
taking a picture. I agree with that entirely, Mike. I've
gotten to the point now where I don't move just
about anything in my house that's got a history without
talking to it, asking some permission first. And I think
that's a good habit to get into. But thank you
for keeping me updated on your progress there, Mike. I
appreciate it. Glad things continue to work out for you.
(47:52):
The force is flowing through you very well, my friend.
And so now here's the story that I don't know.
Sometimes I just bring up up these almost sort of
random experiences that I've had here living in Las Vegas
that I call mental manna. And I was at the
I see recently I had to have some X rays
(48:14):
made of my lower back, and you know, it's one
of those things you get older and you get aches
and pains, and so so I go to the X
ray lab and they take me back. There are a
couple of nice ladies in charge. And I just laid
(48:34):
down on my back and I just had to pull
my pants down a little a little way so that,
you know, like my lower back was was better exposed.
So they take the X ray and then I hear
one of the ladies go, that's weird. Now, let me
(48:56):
just tell you you might know this from experience. When
having any kind of a medical procedure done, you do
not want to hear somebody go hmm, that's weird, but
especially as soon as they've X rayed your pelvic section,
(49:17):
all right. And so she goes over and she goes
let me readjust something here, and then she goes back
and they take another X ray. Huh, I hear o A.
Now they're having a little conversation back in the X
ray booth like what is what is like? What is it? What?
What is happening? So then the lady the text she
(49:41):
comes back to me and she says, have you ever
have you ever had any like metal or inserted in
your body or any kind of you know, surgeries that
And I was like, I said, no, no, I have not.
I've never had any any surgery. I've never had a
major surgery in my whole life. The biggest surgery I've
(50:04):
ever had was having my wisdom teeth taken out. Now, look,
I've been put to sleep and had like upper gis
and lower gies and that kind of stuff, but I've
never had a major surgery. Knock on wood. I said, no,
there should be and she goes. I said, I said,
is there an alien implant here? Are you seeing alien implants?
Just tell me? And she goes, I'm not sure. I've
(50:25):
never seen anything like this before, Like, what is it?
And that's when they realize that as I'm laying there,
lying there, I am wearing what is called a guya beera.
This is my favorite style of shirt. If you've seen
pictures of me out there, you've probably seen me at
some point wearing a guyabera. It is produced by Latin
(50:48):
American cultures. There's they argue over whether it came from
Spain or Mexico or I think you know, the Puerto
Ricans like to take some clan. Anyway, the guya bera
is it's a short sleeve shirt and it's got four
pockets on the front. And I'm such a geek I
love to have pockets, like the more pockets, the merrier,
(51:10):
and so I'm always carrying stuff in my pockets. And
so in my lower right side pocket I had a
little zip lock baggy that was full of ant acids,
and so they I pulled it out and they start laughing,
and they showed me the picture the X ray and
it looked like I was a drug mule, that I
(51:30):
just had this big cluster of pills or oddly shaped
pills sort of stuffed in my gut. And of course
we're laughing about all that, and I thought, well, that'll
be an interesting X ray for, you know, for me
to talk about on the show. But it turns out
when all was done, I removed that and they finished
(51:52):
the X rays, they would not give me that X ray,
and I was like, ah, oh that's a bummer. So look,
if you ever have an X ray may and it's
got something weird like an alien implant and they don't
want to give it to you, take your cell phone
out and take a picture of it for yourself, because
that might be the proof that you're gonna need. All Right,

This is Strange Thing. I am Joshua by Warren, and
each week on this show I'll be bringing you brand
new my blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you
(01:18):
can do at home and a lot more on this
edition of the show, Create a Psychic Experiment Kit for pennies.
This is the final installment in my recent series about
how you can use common household items, things that you
(01:39):
probably have on hand or certainly can obtain for cheap,
in order to create paranormal investigation tools. And this can
be if you are a hobbyist or if just something
spontaneously happens at your house and you have to scramble
to document it. It is based upon the book that
I wrote years ago called poor Man's Paranormal, a manual
(02:03):
on using household items to document ghosts, UFOs, cryptids and
psychic activity. Right now it has been called the Paranormal mcguiver. Well,
in some of my recent shows, I've already covered the others.
I told you how to create items that can document
help you document ghosts and UFOs and cryptids, and so
(02:26):
now we're going to finish the series with yes psychic
phenomena and ESP. Here we go. Psychic activity or ESP,
that is extrasensory perception exemplifies how humans can sense or
interact with energies not understood by mainstream scientists. Now, everything
(02:50):
covered in the previous sections on ghosts, UFOs, and cryptids
can be helpful and examining psychic claims. However, these simple
tips can help you both explore and test someone, maybe
even yourself for ESP. First, one of my favorites, the
(03:11):
energy will. One of the most fascinating psychic phenomena is
telekinesis or TK, the ability to control a physical object
using nothing but direct thought. Alone. Think of how the
jedis move things around in Star Wars. Well, the energy
will is one of the best ways to test and
(03:33):
even develop such possible skills. Here's all you have to do.
Take a chunk of foam or an eraser or some
similar substance, and just push a straight pin or needle
through it. All you need is for this needle to
stand up straight on its own with the sharp point
at the top. And next, take a square of lightweight
(03:57):
paper that is approximately fourign by four inches. And let
me pause for those of you who are listening in
other countries, let's see what four inches is to centimeters
it is I don't do not memorize conversions. It looks
like it's going to be ten centimeters by ten centimeters.
(04:19):
So you have a square of paper that's four inches
by four inches or ten centimeters by ten centimeters, and
you fold it diagonally one way, and then you unfold it,
and then you fold it diagonally the other way, and
then you unfold it, and now you'll have what looks
like a small paper pyramid. You just set this paper
(04:41):
pyramid on top of the needle so that its inner
apex rests on the sharp tip. And so now you
have this paper pyramid that can spin around freely, sort
of like a pin. Well, I guess, so next, what
you want to do is place your hands on either
side of the needle and focus on making it spin
(05:05):
in the beginning direction does not matter. Eventually you'll want
to try to force it clockwise or counterclockwise, and after
much practice, an advanced user may even be able to
make it spin under a glass. Now there is no
hard and fast rule about how you should place your hands.
You might just put your hands on each side with
(05:25):
the palms open and facing the energy will Or you
might try putting the hands in a similar position where
one hand has the palm facing and then the other
hand has the back of a hand facing. You might
put one hand above the wheel. Try different configurations, but
the biggest thing is you'd want to rule out wind
(05:47):
or your breath or something blowing it around. You might
even want to put some type of a well like
a mask on, or you might want to again graduate
to shielding it under some kind of a glass. It
doesn't matter. But the more you practic this with it,
the more you'll find out what may work for you.
And I actually got to the point one time years
ago where I was practicing this every day and I
(06:07):
actually could get this to spin under a glass, and
I even have video footage of that I posted somewhere
on YouTube. So the energy will is a very simple device,
and it can be used to test someone who claims
to possess telekinesis, or to train yourself to develop telekinetic
skills over time. And keep in mind that if you
(06:30):
can just maybe put your hands around it and it
might start naturally moving as the energy naturally flows around
your body. But of course the next big step, the
holy Grail, is trying to control that energy flow so
that you can manipulate the object. Next, we have the pendulum. Now,
if you hold a string in your hand with a
(06:52):
small weight on the end, just like a phishing sinker,
you have a basic pendulum. And you can even get
results by taking off a common necklace and holding one
end with a pendant swinging at the bottom. And this
can be used to test psychic knowledge now regardless of
your dominant hand. Actually I guess it does. It might
(07:15):
be helpful if you use your dominant hand in the beginning.
But what you want to do is you rest your
elbow on a table and you hold the top of
your pendulum, and it doesn't really matter how you hold it.
I have a tendency to hold it with my thumb
and index and middle finger just the top of the
pendulum cord. But just make sure the bottom of the
(07:37):
pendulum does not touch the table and can swing freely.
Calm yourself until it is still, and once still, just
sit there and in vision it swinging clockwise. In a
few moments, it will swing clockwise. Now calm yourself again
and have it go still, and now visualize it swinging
(07:59):
count clockwise and it will swing counterclockwise. Do this again,
envisioning it swinging back and forth, and then again envision
it swinging side to side, and you will see that
what you envision makes the pendulum swing in a certain way.
This is a known scientific phenomenon called automatism, and it
(08:24):
is an understood process by which that which you envision
affects microscopic impulses in your muscles to affect the world
around you. So, even though you may not realize you're
intentionally doing this, you are intentionally doing this subconsciously. So
once you've done that basic exercise to get the feeling
(08:46):
for the pendulum. You want to pick the two motions
that were easiest for you. Was it clockwise versus counterclockwise
or was it back and forth or was it side
to side. Pick one of those that you liked. Let's
say you pick clockwise versus counterclockwise. Well, then you should
visualize it swinging clockwise and then you say out loud
(09:10):
to the pendulum this means yes. And then you let
it spin that way. And then you calm yourself, and
then you make it swing counterclockwise and you say this
means no, and you let it swing that way for
a while. Well, you have now programmed your pendulum. That
(09:30):
is how you program a pendulum. It doesn't matter what
motion you pick. You must establish this represents yes, this
represents no. Now, a programmed pendulum is used to divine
for knowledge, you can sit and ask the pendulum questions,
judging a yes or no response based on how it swings.
(09:51):
You can test and perfect the ability by having someone
flip a coin and then you can ask your pendulum
if it's heads or tell. But if you find a
technique works amazingly well for you or someone else, experiment
with using it to divine any knowledge you want. I mean,
if you can get answers to YESTERDA no questions, you
(10:13):
can use that to work your way to just about
anything you want to know. And that's a very easy
way to do it. Next, we have dowsing rods. Dowsing
rods are used much like the pendulum. They are created
to extract information about ethereal matters, and though they have
become most popular as detectors of underground substances like water
(10:35):
or oil, they can be programmed just like the pendulum
for psychic experiments of any kind. It's easy to make
dowsing rods. You simply need a metal wire coahangar with pliers,
and you cut the hanger just below the hook on
either side, and you can throw the hook away you
won't need it, And then make a single cut in
the middle of the bottom wire, and that will give
(10:56):
you two angled sections of wire. You bend each of
them out into l shapes, and these are your two
dowsing rods. The short end is your handles. Okay, so
you want to loosely hold those short ends of each
dowsing rod in your hands like guns, and you hold
(11:18):
your hands about one inch apart and level right in
front of you, and you watch how they swing. And
when we come back, I'm going to tell you what
else you need to do with the dowsing rods, and
then we're going to get into some very simple things
you can do if you don't want to build anything,
just with playing cards, coins and dice. You know what.

Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your
worm Whole brand from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada.
We're every day is Golden and every night is silver.
(15:03):
Agiatacto Zume and back to dowsing rods. They're very simple
to make. You get that coahangar. You cut those sections
out and again you want to hold each one of
these L shaped wires by the short part, just like
you're holding guns. But you hold your hands out in
(15:25):
front of you about an inch apart and you hold
it level, so those long wires are parallel to the
ground and then you just watch how they swing. And
just like with the pendulum, you have to program them
by asking them to swing together or apart. And once
you can consciously make them swing either together or apart,
(15:48):
tell them to swing together to indicate one thing and
to part to indicate another. So for example, maybe if
they swing together that means yes, and if they swing
part that means no. Or you can be more specific.
You can say I want you to swing together when
there is water below me, and stay apart when there
(16:12):
is no water below me. There is no limit on
how this technique can be used. In fact, both the
pendulum and dowsing rod methods can be used over maps
instead of the actual land to experimentally obtain information about
geographic terrains. Yes, you don't even have to be on location.
(16:32):
A lot of people hire folks. I've heard take out
a map successful dowsers and defined where oil or gold
may be. And I know in Vietnam they certainly use
dowsers to try to find land mines and underground tunnels
where the enemy was hiding and that sort of thing.
(16:53):
This next section here is playing cards, coins and dice.
Perhaps the oldest and simplest way of ten and exploring
psychic activity is by way of coins and cards. Since
these are almost always nearby, never forget to implement them.
Anything that has been used in gambling is a good
tool for testing ESP. When flipping a coin, there is
(17:17):
generally a fifty to fifty chance of the outcome, and
this can be used to determine someone's clairvoyance easily. It
can even be more effectively done using a dye or
a pair of dice. Die are actually better since the
die may be more I guess dice are actually better
(17:37):
since the die or the dice may be more balanced
and has six possible outcomes. So if you use dice,
put them in a plastic cup with an identical cup
on top and shake them together between the two cups
so that you're not directly touching them before spilling them
on the table. Using those cups ensures the shaker's hands
(17:58):
never come into contact with the die and cannot possibly
influence the outcome. Now, the famous ESP cards developed by
the Ryan Research Center feature symbols like a star, wavy lines, square, etc.
And you can make your own symbol cards or just
use playing cards. When using standard playing cards, start by
(18:20):
asking the test subject to guess red or black, and
then you can get more specific. Next move on to
the suit, finally to the number. All of these psychic
testers can be utilized in almost any way, whether gaining
information about something that should not be conventionally known or
(18:40):
communicating with another intelligence. These are important tools. The mind,
body and environment relationship of ESP is the glue that
binds all paranormal activity together. And here's one last thing
now that I've given you tips over these podcasts on
how to create a kit to investigate ghosts or UFOs
(19:03):
or cryptids. Though everyone needs a starting point, we must
caution against prematurely defining and categorizing a particular paranormal phenomenon.
Just because we designate some activity is related to ghosts
or UFOs or cryptids, that does not mean that they
are all separated. They're actually intimately connected in some way.
(19:26):
And so the information I've given you should be used
to help you document anything that is currently not properly
explained by mainstream scientists. So within these simple, accessible tools
and techniques, you should have all you need to start
leading you down the path to truths, whatever it may be,
(19:48):
and to ensure you're at your best. I suggest you
practice everything in advance, make a project of it, gather
your friends one evening, make a party. Kids love this.
It's a great way to learn about science. But do
it now so that you will be already kind of
aware of how this functions, and you'll have that knowledge
(20:08):
on hand instantly when you need it the most. And
you know, regardless of what you choose to study, patience
is a virtue. Once your tools are in place, be observant,
quiet and relaxed, Be reserved, and just see what happens
around you. And of course, if you need help with
any of those projects, you can always just visit my website.
(20:32):
If you'd like to get a copy of The poor
Man's Paranormal, it's in my Curiosity Shop at Joshua Pwarren
dot com. It comes with a number of other PDFs
that you can instantly download for cheap. But remember what
I told you. One of the most important tools to
possess altogether as a compass for both determining direction and
detecting electrical disturbances. And remember that all the high tech
(20:56):
resources big budget investigators have basically document the very same
thing things that you can document with these household items.
Benjamin Franklin proved to his own satisfaction that lightning is
an electrostatic power using a kite, a key, a glass jar,
(21:19):
and some metal foil. Okay, always remember that he also
discovered the Gulf Stream by dipping bottles of Madeira wine
that he had drank at various intervals into the ocean
water as he was crossing the Atlantic. So profound information
(21:44):
can and will be gleaned by what you cobble together
in your own home today, so be sure to remember that.
So that's it. Here endeth the lesson, and I hope
that all of those things are helpful in one way
or another. You know, it's funny. For years, my mother
and father, Danny and Peggy Warren, were big land developers
(22:08):
in western North Carolina, And you know, I've interviewed both
of them on this show. And my mom has had
a lot of psychic experiences throughout her life. My dad
has always been open to it, but he's never really
been an enthusiast, and he just never knew what to
think of it. But I tell you one thing, when
money was on the line as land developers and they
were trying to figure out where to drill a well.
(22:31):
My dad every time he would go out and he
would get he'd had his set at dowsing rods, and
he would take those dowsing rods out and he would
find exactly where the water was. And you'd have these
I guess they call them Martesian wells that you know
they dig and all of a sudden, boom, the water
would just come squirting, jetting up into the sky. He
(22:51):
found those all the time using dowsing I don't know
how to explain that. And by the way, you know,
when you make those dowsing rods, you can just hold
those wire handles like I explained, Or if you want
them to swing more fluidly, you can take something like
a drinking straw and cut a little section off and
slip it over so it makes for like a plastic
(23:13):
covering between your hand and the wires so they swing
more fluidly. Or you can take a little piece of
PVC pipe and do the same thing any kind of tubing.
So those are tips for you to remember. I also
want to give some shout outs here to some people
who influenced me a lot when it came to me
understanding the reality of psychic phenomena. The first psychic I
(23:34):
really became friends with who impressed me was Angela fay Moore,
who lives in western North Carolina. I've talked about Angela
More a lot, and there were times where I was
growing up. She would go on investigations, she would come
to events and I would see people crying, and you know,
she was really impressing a lot of folks. And Angela,
(23:55):
she I'm sure would love to hear from you. She's
happy to psychic work, and I believe that she doesn't
even charge for it. I think she just takes donations.
Her website is Angela Fayemore dot com. Fay is spelled
with an e on the end, fa Ye Angela Faymore
dot com. Go look her up. And then when I
(24:16):
started getting into the TV business, I met Karen Reese,
and Karen Reese was profound because that we were working
together on this show while you've heard me talk about
it called Xops, and before the show even started, the
very first day I met her, let's see, Actually no,
that's not right. I worked on two shows with her. Anyway,
(24:39):
it doesn't matter. One of the shows I worked on
with her. The first day we got together and she
took out. Okay, there was a production person who came
up to her and said, I have a purse here,
Why can you tell me about it? And Karen Reese said, well,
this belonged to your mother. And she started telling this
(24:59):
lady all about her mother with all these details and
dates and names, and again the woman breaks down starts crying.
It was crazy. And Karen has helped people get LOTO numbers. Anyway.
Her website is karen rest dot com k a r
y n r e e c e k a r
y n That's how she spells Karen Karen reestot com.
The third person I want to tell you about is
(25:20):
Laura Lee. I also met on a TV show and
Laura Lee one time. Okay, I was sort of sequestered
with her in a room while we were waiting for
some production queue, and so she said, well, what would
you like to know? And I said, well, I had
a friend who recently died. What can you tell me
about that friend? And she started describing this man who
(25:41):
had recently died like you wouldn't believe that he had
a funny hat he used to wear all the time,
and he had a strange white beard but no mustache,
and he was a scientist, and she was just telling
me all about him, and it just blew me away.
Her website is Radio Medium Laura Lee l E. Radio
Medium Laura Lee. Check out one of those ladies if
(26:05):
you're interested and communicating with a psychic. Well, when we
come back from this break, I'd like to pay tribute
to an amazing artist who is no longer with us.
He was a great friend of mine for a long time.

iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I'm
your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show
where the unusual becomes usual. If you've followed my work
over the years, then you have most certainly enjoyed the
(28:33):
art of Tim Peterson. He was one of my best friends,
and he died recently unexpectedly, at the age of forty seven.
We met in high school, Clyde A. Irwin High in Ashfield,
North Carolina, back in the early nineties. I was already
writing books as a teen and I needed a professional
(28:56):
level artist, and somehow I found out about this other kid,
a prodigy named Tim Peterson. Peterson is spelled p E
d e r s e n. He was tall and lanky,
with wild black hair, and his eyes were dark, but
they always had this comedic spark. He was always kind
(29:19):
of smirking at the world, and the first time I
saw him draw, I was astounded. The pictures that flowed
from the end of his pen looked like they were
being magically printed by a machine right in front of
my eyes. And it turns out he could do it all,
not just draw, but paint with various media. He was
(29:42):
also great at playing the guitar and the keys, but
he was especially on the cutting edge of computer graphics,
which was of great importance to me for book covers
and such. So over the years we worked together to
create covers for my early book Looks Like Speaking of
Strange and Plausible Ghosts. In fact, we decided to collaborate
(30:05):
on a children's book called The Lonely Ameba. It was
kind of like a Doctor Seuss book. I wrote the
whole thing in rhyming verse, and he illustrated the whole
thing with watercolor. It was published in hardback and it
turned out fantastic, and we did book signings and fun
events together. When I wrote Haunted Ashville, I took the
(30:25):
photographs for the original cover and gave them to him,
and he created one of the most memorable ghost book
covers of all time in my opinion. Tim was originally
from Florida, so we did some little projects like a
book called Young Artists of Florida and then another rare
book called North Carolina UFOs, and the list just goes on. Well.
(30:50):
In high school, he and I, of course were always
hanging out, always getting into mischief. He had this insane
sense of humor, even crazier than mine, and the two
of us together pulled off some pretty elaborate pranks. And
in fact, we were so close in high school that
for our senior year, I wrote the theme and cover
(31:10):
description for the yearbook and he created it with an airbrush,
this mystical vision. So we even created the darn graduation
yearbook together. As a matter of fact, it's kind of funny.
Reminds me that I think that I wrote that the
phrase on the cover of the yearbook should be the
dawning of a new perspective. And when they all came out,
(31:34):
there was I guess a miscommunication and it said the
dawning of a new prospective. So perspective is per and
prospective pro So that was kind of I don't know,
it was just a weird thing that I always think
of when it comes to that yearbook. But you know,
it worked out either way. So over the years, we
continued working together on countless projects. I have so many
(31:56):
memories of adventures with Tim that it's impossible to recall
them all. Well, I mean, right out of high school,
we traveled to New Orleans together to explore the weird culture,
and my mom told me she was worried, sick about
the two of us alone in New Orleans where we
knew no one and it was Marti Grop. We weren't
even drinking age. But trust me, nobody in New Orleans cared.
(32:18):
In fact, if you go back and listen to episode
twenty five of this podcast Strange Things, Episode twenty five
is called Our Weird Moon and My Encounter with Real Vampires. Well,
I told this story about me and Tim being in
New Orleans and getting into this real pickle with some
vampires down by the Mississippi River one night. And in
(32:42):
the episode, as I was telling the story, I claimed
that I had changed the name of my friend, but
actually I did not. I said his name was Tim,
and that was true. So after high school, Tim moved
to Atlanta for a while. I went down to visit him,
and you have all these memories, you know. I remember
one day we walked into this eclectic record store and
(33:04):
ran right into Taylor Hawkins, the drummer for Foo Fighters,
Dave Grohl's band, and he was super nice and we
chatted with him for a while. And Taylor Hawkins is
now no longer with us. He died in twenty twenty
two at age fifty. Well, Tim, he was always looking
(33:24):
for more adventure. He then he moved to New York
City for a while and then finally to Los Angeles, California.
And there, I mean he quickly became a very successful
person as a commercial artist in Los Angeles, I mean,
working for big firms, designing everything from billboards to candy
bar rappers to web campaigns. He was doing well and
(33:46):
he was making a lot of money. And sometimes I
would visit him in LA and we would go to
some pretty fancy places like Soho House, West Hollywood, and
I remember one night in twenty eighteen we went to
this nice bar where they filmed a part of the
movie ed Wood. That's one of my favorite films, ed
Would by Tim Burton. So you know, I just have
(34:09):
all these interesting memories of things that you know, we
experienced together. And when he was there in La I mean,
things were going well for quite a while for him.
I mean, roommates and girlfriends would occasionally come and go,
but he never had kids, he never got married, and
he primarily lived alone. But Tim, he liked to go
(34:30):
out and have a good time, and he did that
a lot, and that eventually got out of control and
started to take a toll on his health. And I
don't know exactly what happened to him at the least
at this point, but you know, he recently died again,
age forty seven. And of course that happens to a
(34:53):
lot of great artists with insatiable appetites who just want
to go out and have this grand life life experience.
But you know, there's nothing I can really say to
capture the true essence of the guy. I mean, even
though we were such friends, he was always sort of
a loner with an attitude. And of course a part
(35:15):
of me is very sad, but honestly, there's a greater
part of me that feels happy that he enjoyed such
a fun wild ride in this life and he didn't
have to grow old, because I do not think he
would have been very happy as an old man. So
(35:39):
God bless you, Tim, I love you. Thank you for
sharing your talent and your warmth and friendship. And I
can imagine that you will never be a ghost.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
On this earth.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
You're out there soaring through the cosmos right now like
some psychedelic superman, and I am sure that you will
paint the sky. You know. Hank Williams said, no matter
how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of
(36:14):
this world alive. And my friend Bill Banner, who lived
to be an old man, always said, the thing that
sucks about living to be old is watching all of
your friends die. Ain't that the truth? You know? You've
probably heard this story that Harry Houdini told his wife
(36:37):
that he was going to give her this secret code
that only the two of them would know, and that
if he died before her and she wanted to test
out one of these psychics or medium mediums, that he
would pass along this code. And most people say that
(37:01):
she tried. She had seances and she met all these
psychics and stuff and that she never got the code.
But then there are other people who say no, no, no,
that's not true. She actually did get the code. In fact,
there was this psychic at the time named Arthur Ford,
(37:21):
and he has witnesses and documentation. He wrote a book
about this. He said that he was able to get
the code from Houdini on the other side after Houdini died,
and that he was able to get a meeting with
Houdini's wife and she confirmed that it was correct. The
message from the other side was quote rose a bell
(37:46):
answer tail pray answer look tail answer answer tail end quote.
Now that may not make a lot of sense, but
they said it was based on both sentimentality and an
old Vaudeville mind reading routine because roose Belt roose Belt
was the name of the song she sang in her
(38:10):
act when they first met, and her wedding band had
this inscription and said rose Belt. The other words correspond
to a secret spelling code used to pass information between
a magician and his assistant during a mentalism act, where
each word or word pair would equal a letter, so
like the word answer stood for the letter B or
(38:31):
answer answers stood for the little D letter V. Maybe
you get the picture. But anyway, so the second phrase
spelled out the word believe. So basically it was like
roosebel this word that was sacred enough for her to
have on her wedding ring, and then believe. So I
don't know what to believe. That was a long time ago,
(38:52):
and I don't think we'll ever know exactly what to believe.
But I have tried that with a number of my
friends who have passed on. You know, I've had older
folks who I assumed would pass on before me, and
I have established a code word with them, and so
(39:12):
far I have not had and it's been a different
code word for each person a case only I'm the
person know this. So far, nothing has conclusively been communicated
with me. But something happened to me recently. That is
the closest I've come to having one of my friends
(39:33):
who passed on give me the secret word. When we
come back, I will explain that, and then I'll tell
you about that story. And then I actually have kind
of a funny, weird story I'm going to share with you.
I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on

New shows come out every Friday, so I'll be looking

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Strange Things of the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Lauren.
And when I in Puerto Rico, my best friend was
this lady named Margarita. We called her Itta and she
(42:09):
was She was a tough, fireball over woman. She was
a retired Navy officer. She could drink just about anybody
under the table. She had a boat and she would
take me and Barn out to these islands, and I
mean we would go off and have adventures and explore
(42:30):
UFOs and chwo pacabras and I mean all that kind
of stuff. She looked like the type of person like
she She was very healthy, and you just thought she
was going to live forever. And then when I moved
from Puerto Rico to Las Vegas, of course we kept
in touch. And a couple of years ago she told
(42:52):
me that she had pancreatic cancer. Now she was in
her sixties, and as you probably know, pancreatic cancer is
a tough thing to beat. So we started having you know,
that conversation like, well, if this is the end, thank
you for your friendship, et cetera. But I told her,
(43:12):
let's come up with a code word, you know, if
if you if you don't make it. And so I
came up with one word as a code word. We
agreed upon this just you know online, it's just direct messaging.
And so after she died, you know, I kept looking
for that word and it was it wasn't popping up.
(43:36):
And then just recently, I was sitting out back at
my house next to the swimming pool, and I was
I told Lauren that I had I had done this,
you know, that I'd created this code word for Ida
and I had never received it. And I said, what
do you think it is? And Lauren said the word?
(43:59):
And I was like, wow, that's kind of chilling because
I'd be like, now that was that was a jarring thing.
And Lauren said, maybe this is how the word was
supposed to be, you know, communicated to you. And that
may be, but I still can't consider that conclusive proof
(44:19):
because Lauren also knew Ida, and she might have been
able to guess that word, even if it's subconscious. Also,
Lauren and I, you know, we've been together for a
long time and I think we have a lot of telepathy,
so she may have plucked it out of my head.
So I still can't say that's conclusive evidence. But that's
the closest I've come, and that actually, you know, I mean,
(44:41):
that made an impact on me. So maybe you should
try that out with some of your loved ones. You
never know who's going to die first. Just because you're
the younger one, that doesn't mean that something bad can't
happen to you. Try out the code word method and
just see what you come up with. It's a very
interesting project when when you know somebody close like that
(45:02):
and then they pass on. Uh, you know what, before
I tell you this kind of weird, funny story about
something that recently happened to me. Uh, let me, let
me read an email. I have an email I've had
on hold for a while from a guy named Mike,
and I read one of his emails before because he
had told me he'd had this like string of bad luck,
(45:22):
and then he downloaded one of the sigils from the
sigil lab dot com. Uh, it might have been the
money sigil, but we also have a money luck sigel
there that you can go and save. It's all free
at the sigil lab dot com. But anyway, he had
this like string of bad luck and then he got them.
He got the sigil, and the day he got the sigil,
(45:44):
his luck turned around. He said that you know, he
had he had had luggage that was missing from his
airplane flight and as soon as he got the sigil, boom,
they found the luggage intact, nothing missing. He'd been had
a situation with this house this new house that he
was trying to deal with, and it had been complicated
(46:05):
and all of it smoothed down, and he starts just,
you know, writing me, telling me all this, and so
I read at some point one of his messages and
then then he wrote me this the other day and
he says, oh, also says, I hadn't realized it. Not
only did you decide to produce the lux sigitl the
(46:27):
day I needed it, but but you prepared the podcast
mentioning my experience the same week as my thirtieth wedding anniversary,
which actually kind of plays into the story. And he says,
if that's not proof that sigil's work, what a strange coincidence.
Thank you for the wonderful anniversary gift. Forever listening. So
(46:47):
I know that as it totally makes sense out of
consecutive order here with some of the things that has
he's experienced. But what I just thought was interesting was that,
you know, he he keeps telling me that all this
stuff is turned around since he's used that sigil. So
I hope that you'll go to the sigil lab dot
com and just save some sigil that catches your eye
(47:08):
and experiment with it yourself. He also mentioned this in
one of his emails, just as a side note, and
I'm not sure if I got back to him about this.
He said, I've never encountered a haunted object, he said,
but perhaps you need to ask permission before moving them,
like those who get permission from Robert the Doll before
(47:29):
taking a picture. I agree with that entirely, Mike. I've
gotten to the point now where I don't move just
about anything in my house that's got a history without
talking to it, asking some permission first. And I think
that's a good habit to get into. But thank you
for keeping me updated on your progress there, Mike. I
appreciate it. Glad things continue to work out for you.
(47:52):
The force is flowing through you very well, my friend.
And so now here's the story that I don't know.
Sometimes I just bring up up these almost sort of
random experiences that I've had here living in Las Vegas
that I call mental manna. And I was at the
I see recently I had to have some X rays
(48:14):
made of my lower back, and you know, it's one
of those things you get older and you get aches
and pains, and so so I go to the X
ray lab and they take me back. There are a
couple of nice ladies in charge. And I just laid
(48:34):
down on my back and I just had to pull
my pants down a little a little way so that,
you know, like my lower back was was better exposed.
So they take the X ray and then I hear
one of the ladies go, that's weird. Now, let me
(48:56):
just tell you you might know this from experience. When
having any kind of a medical procedure done, you do
not want to hear somebody go hmm, that's weird, but
especially as soon as they've X rayed your pelvic section,
(49:17):
all right. And so she goes over and she goes
let me readjust something here, and then she goes back
and they take another X ray. Huh, I hear o A.
Now they're having a little conversation back in the X
ray booth like what is what is like? What is it? What?
What is happening? So then the lady the text she
(49:41):
comes back to me and she says, have you ever
have you ever had any like metal or inserted in
your body or any kind of you know, surgeries that
And I was like, I said, no, no, I have not.
I've never had any any surgery. I've never had a
major surgery in my whole life. The biggest surgery I've
(50:04):
ever had was having my wisdom teeth taken out. Now, look,
I've been put to sleep and had like upper gis
and lower gies and that kind of stuff, but I've
never had a major surgery. Knock on wood. I said, no,
there should be and she goes. I said, I said,
is there an alien implant here? Are you seeing alien implants?
Just tell me? And she goes, I'm not sure. I've
(50:25):
never seen anything like this before, Like, what is it?
And that's when they realize that as I'm laying there,
lying there, I am wearing what is called a guya beera.
This is my favorite style of shirt. If you've seen
pictures of me out there, you've probably seen me at
some point wearing a guyabera. It is produced by Latin
(50:48):
American cultures. There's they argue over whether it came from
Spain or Mexico or I think you know, the Puerto
Ricans like to take some clan. Anyway, the guya bera
is it's a short sleeve shirt and it's got four
pockets on the front. And I'm such a geek I
love to have pockets, like the more pockets, the merrier,
(51:10):
and so I'm always carrying stuff in my pockets. And
so in my lower right side pocket I had a
little zip lock baggy that was full of ant acids,
and so they I pulled it out and they start laughing,
and they showed me the picture the X ray and
it looked like I was a drug mule, that I
(51:30):
just had this big cluster of pills or oddly shaped
pills sort of stuffed in my gut. And of course
we're laughing about all that, and I thought, well, that'll
be an interesting X ray for, you know, for me
to talk about on the show. But it turns out
when all was done, I removed that and they finished
(51:52):
the X rays, they would not give me that X ray,
and I was like, ah, oh that's a bummer. So look,
if you ever have an X ray may and it's
got something weird like an alien implant and they don't
want to give it to you, take your cell phone
out and take a picture of it for yourself, because
that might be the proof that you're gonna need. All Right,
my friends, the clocks Goddess, take a deep breath, close
(52:14):
your eyes, if you can, here is the good Fortune tone.
