Speaker 1 (00:53):
You get ready to be amazed by the wizard of Weird.
This is Strange Things josh Warren.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I am Joshua Wooe Warren, and each week on this show,
I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises,
and weird experiments you can do at home, and a
lot more.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
On this edition of the show, the on Creepy Water
Babies and Tahoe Tessie. I just got back from a
big trip. I'm so exhausted. I should not even be
recording the show right now, but you know, I kind
(01:42):
of like to share things with you when they are
fresh on my mind. When I've just gotten back from
the field. I think you can. You can forgive me
if I sound a little rough, But you know, I
always tell people that, you know, I'm not really a podcaster.
The podcast is the result of all the other things
(02:06):
that I do. And I have a heck of a
story for you because I live here in Las Vegas, Nevada,
and I have lived here for close to ten years,
but I've never traveled north up to the area around
Lake Tahoe and Carson City and Virginia City and Reno.
(02:27):
Just hadn't gotten around to it. But I had been
wanting to do it for a long time because there
are some really spooky, weird things up there I'm about
to tell you about. And so I finally made the trip,
just got back in. And by the way, this is
particularly interesting. I discovered some numbers up there that I
(02:51):
have now started calling God's numbers. And yes, it came
from gambling. I'll explain everything, but using these numbers and
playing Keno, I made over ten thousand dollars in two
(03:11):
or three days. And I didn't choose these numbers. They well,
you'll hear the story, and I am going to tell
you what these numbers are now even if you're not
a gambler, that doesn't matter, because I think when you
find numbers that have some kind of significance that they
can apply to I don't know, maybe dates times, there
(03:33):
may be other ways that just you know, writing a
number down brings up some kind of fortune numerologically speaking.
So I'm going to tell you what these numbers are
that I discovered what I'm calling God's numbers. But I'm
also going to tell you right up front, don't be
skipping around here on this show trying to find the end.
(03:57):
It won't work unless you listen to this entire show
from beginning to end, including all the commercials. And I
have nothing to do with the commercials. The commercials are
different from platform to platform. I have no idea what
your commercials are going to be. But for this to
work for you, you have to start listening right now
at the beginning, and then you've got to listen straight
(04:20):
through all the way to the end when I give
you these numbers. And I guarantee you once you hear
this story, you're going to want to experiment with these numbers.
So Lake Tahoe, if I were to get in my
car from my house here in Vegas and drive up there.
I would drive through a lot of barren land for
about seven and a half to eight hours to get
(04:44):
up to that part of Nevada. And you know, Lake
Tahoe is, well, it's a really extraordinary location. I mean,
for one thing, Lake Tahoe is it's the largest alpine
(05:04):
lake in North America. That means that it gets all
of its water from snowfall. So it's not like there
are you know, springs and rivers necessarily that are feeding
into it. All this snow melts into Lake Tahoe, which
is a third of Lake Tahoe is in Nevada and
two thirds of it is in California, so it's right
(05:25):
on the state line. So all this snow melts every
year and fills this lake up with water, and it's
the it's the second deepest lake in the United States
after Crater Lake in Oregon. Lake Tahoe is one thousand,
(05:46):
six hundred and forty five feet deep. That's five hundred
and one meters, and so other than the Great Lakes,
I mean, this is you know, this is a really
significant lake. And so all this snow melts into this
lake and it's incredibly pure incredibly pure. The water in
(06:06):
Lake Tahoe is ninety nine point nine nine four percent pure,
and that makes it nearly as pure as distilled water.
Commercially distilled water is ninety nine point nine nine eight
percent pure, and this is ninety nine point nine ninety
(06:27):
four percent pure. That's crazy. Lake Tahoe's clarity is incredible.
They say that the average visibility depth is around seventy feet.
So all this crystal clear, fresh pure water it melts
into Lake Tahoe, been there for millions of years, and
(06:51):
then from there the water drains into a lake that's
north of Lake taw in Nevada called Pyramid Lake. Through this,
it flows through this river called the Trucky River, and
then it goes to the Pyramid Lake. And Pyramid Lake
has called that because there are these big, amazing pyramid
(07:14):
shaped limestone formations in the lake. And from there it
just evaporates. So it's, as far as I can tell,
it's just sort of a closed system. And there are
all kinds of stories about monsters being up there around
Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake. I guess the most famous
(07:36):
one is Tahoe TESSI. My friend David Weatherley, he published
this book called Silver State Monsters. They call Nevada the
Silver State. He published this book in twenty nineteen, Cryptids
and Legends of Nevada. And yeah, there's some kind of
a creature that they say is in Lake Tahoe, similar
(07:58):
to NeSSI and Locknow here's what he wrote about it.
He said Tahoe Tessi as a water monster often compared
to Nessi's Scotland to NeSSI Scotland's famous Lockness Monster. It's
purported to be a serpent like creature with a long,
slender body that displays as humps trailing behind the creature
(08:18):
as it cuts through the water. The monster is a
fast moving beast. By some accounts, people have been seeing
Tahoe Tessi since the mid eighteen hundreds. He points out
there were two men who spotted it on the lake
in the nineteen fifties. They were out boating when they
saw the large black humps rise up from the water
(08:41):
and keep pace with their boat at over sixty miles
per hour. So, I mean, there are just like tons
and tons let's see here. Gosh, this book is, it's
so detailed. And again, you know, people have been seeing
some kind of a creature out there for the longest time,
(09:05):
and then we have the water babies. Do you know
what the water babies are? Water babies. They're mainly seen
around Pyramid Lake up there in Nevada, which is the
largest natural lake in Nevada, because that even though Lake
(09:26):
Tahoe is bigger, two thirds of Lake Tahoe is in California.
But again, Tahoe and Pyramid Lake are connected. Water babies.
Here's what a Native American elder said. Sometimes at night
you can hear the cries of the water babies coming
out from the lake, up from the water, especially in
(09:50):
the springtime. Long sound make you feel sad and afraid
at the same time. Bad omen. Bad omen to hear
a water baby, bad omen to see a water baby.
Some of the old ones say, if you see a
water baby, it means you're going to die. Now. I
know you're thinking, like, what what is a water baby?
(10:14):
Oh boy, David Weatherley writes. Some say that these are
spirits in the lakes, water creatures that look like human
babies with distorted forms and faces twisted by rage and hate,
and they lurk beneath the water's surface, waiting for victims.
(10:37):
Anyone who wanders too close to the water's edge, risks
being grabbed by the water babies and drug to their
end in the depths of the lake. Well where did
these come from? Well, listen to this. The idea that
the water babies are actually spirits of dead children is
(11:00):
a variation of the origin. It is claimed that some
early people through disabled, malformed, and premature children into the lake.
According to this tale, it's the restless ghosts of these
babies the linger in the water, crying out at night,
(11:22):
seeking revenge for lives cut off too soon after birth.
Indications are this version is a later edition. Okay, look,
there's more creepiness to talk about. I knew this show
was going to fly right by, and it turns out
we're up on a break. Ay. Do you like this show?
It's a free show. If you want me to keep
(11:42):
doing it, you got to support it. And by the way,
your old pal Joshua Pee Warren here, I've got to
have a surgery this month July of twenty twenty five,
so I'll be out of commission for a little bit.
But if you want to help support the show, go
(12:02):
to Joshuapwarren dot com. Go to The Curiosity shop, buy
something for a loved one there, and you know what,
you can also just buy something and then send me
an email and say I want you to give this
to somebody anonymously on my behalf and I'll do that
for you as well. Joshua Pwarren dot Com Curiosity Shop,
(12:25):
and be sure on the homepage to sign up for
my free and spam free e newsletter. When I come back,
I'm going to tell you more about what I found
when I traveled to the Land of the Water Babies.
I'm Joshua PE Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
(12:45):
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange
(13:27):
Things all the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird,
Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my
studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day
is golden and every night is silver. Azidato Zoome. I
(13:52):
lived most of the first forty years of my life
on the East Coast, primarily Asheville, North Carolina, and you
know I kind of got to the point though, where
I wanted to explore more areas, and I moved to
(14:15):
Nevada because it is the most free state in the
country in the USA. Freest is that a word? I mean, yes,
I sometimes it's ridiculously hot one hundred and twenty degrees fahrenheit,
But you know what, I'll kind of take that to
have the right to be treated as an adult twenty
(14:37):
four to seven. That's how important freedom is to me.
And I have a lot of fun seeing new things
every single day. I'm never ever born. And I hope
that if you are ever near Las Vegas, Nevada, that
you will take my Haunted Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour.
And now it's the primo time to do it. Just
(14:59):
go to Haunted Bouldercity dot com. It's right outside of Vegas.
And so when I traveled up there to the Lake
Tahoe area, I was also interested in this extremely bizarre
story regarding this creature called the ong O n g
The Legend of the Og. Going back to this book
(15:21):
by my friend David Weatherley, Silver State Monsters, he writes
Native American legends around Lake Tahoetel of a monstrous bird
that once preyed on people in the area. According to
native lore, the ong was a monstrous bird with the
body of an eagle. Its wings were taller than the
(15:42):
tallest pine trees. It was covered in feathers that were impenetrable.
Arrows from the strongest bow could not pierce it, and
the strongest spears would fail to sink into its flesh.
The ong was fond of human flesh, but it only
preyed on the weak, children, women, and lone hunters or warriors,
(16:06):
and it was considered a coward. The OG's preferred prey
was due to its weakness. It had no beak to
strike with and no claws to tear at its victims.
The ong's feet were webbed, so while it could use
them to grab victims, it could not kill with its feet,
and it relied almost solely on its size. The og
(16:30):
lived in a nest at the bottom of the lake.
It would take its prey high into the air and
drop them into the water of Lake Tahoe, letting them
die from the fall or drown in the water, and
the undercurrent in the lake would pull the corpse to
the ong's nest in the middle of the lake. And
(16:52):
then he tells a story about this young warrior who
supposedly defeated the ong, and I believe that that warrior's
name was Tahoe, and that's supposedly where the lake got
its name from. So anyway, read this book seriously. David
Weatherley Silver State Monsters. He has a whole series of
(17:13):
books about monsters in states and they are all fantastic.
I interviewed him on one episode of this show. So
I go, fine, the time is ripe. I am ready
to go up and explore this area. Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Reno, Nevada,
Carson City, Nevada, Virginia City. And my wife Lauren and
(17:39):
I we took this airline called js X, which is
basically a private charter jet. So yes, it costs a
little more than you know, usual, but you can show
up like twenty minutes before the flight leaves, and you
go through very efficient security, and then you get on
(18:06):
the jet and then they give you a snack and
a cocktail, and then you land. And when you land,
your rental car is sitting right there next to the plane,
and you get off the plane and you get in
your car and it's just you know, it's fantastic. As
we were flying out because we were in a private
(18:27):
jet terminal, we passed the Janet Airlines. You've heard me
talk about those. Those are the airlines that fly out
every single day from Vegas to Area fifty one and
back and take employees back and forth. They're white planes
and they have a red stripe down the side and
no other markings. And so I actually got a real nice,
(18:50):
good close look at the Janet terminal. Nobody knows what
Janet means. Apparently the joke is it means just another
non existent terminal. Well, once we got up there to
Lake Tahoe, in that area, I gotta tell you, you know,
we had a wonderful time. Even though I'm gonna be
(19:12):
honest with you, I was a little bit surprised because
in Las Vegas, a lot of your servers and bartenders
and people like that are just super super nice. But
there were a lot of snooty, kind of snarky people
once we got up into that area. I don't know
why that is. You can you can insert your own theory,
(19:35):
but you know that that was just one of the
weird things that I realized right off the batch. And
you know, when we got up there, we we went
to all these different restaurants and bars. Had a drink
called the Tahoe Tessie. And you know the thing is,
(19:56):
when you go to Lake Tahoe, it is it's strikingly utiful.
It was incredibly windy when we arrived that day. We
got our rental car, we were driving up to the lake.
It was so windy that there was a major incident
on the roadway and a like a duly Dodge ram
(20:19):
had a big travel trailer attached to it and it
had blown over and jackknifed on the road, and then
there was a big forest fire burning off the distance.
And then it turns out that same day a boat
capsized on Lake Tahoe and eight people died. So it
(20:45):
was quite dramatic, quite dramatic. And so I mean, we
got up there and we were just kind of like
calming our nerves. And obviously this is not like a
trappl vlogs. I'm not going to give you every detail,
but I will tell you that there's a restaurant up
there and Reno that serves a drink called the Tahoe Tessie.
(21:09):
And I know a lot of you who listen to
the show you're interested in drink recipes, and it was
really good. Tahoe Tessie. Let's see here the Wild River Grill.
Tahoe Tessie has Tahoe Blue vodka, lime, cucumber mint, some
(21:30):
refreshing fizz from club soda, some simple syrup garnish with
a cucumber slice and a sprig of fresh mint. So
you know, here we are up there, we're having a
good time. And uh, I'm standing next to the lake,
(21:50):
and the lake is again it's sort of like it's
so bright and blue and azure that it, uh, I
don't know, it kind of radiates, it kind of radiates
that color in a way that you can't quite capture
on film. I went to this place called the Edgewood Resort,
(22:14):
real nice resort, and they had their own little private beach,
and so I walked right down there to the shore
and I put my fingers inside Lake Tahoe and it
was cool. Wasn't icy cold, though, but it was definitely cool.
(22:36):
Picked up some interesting, little interesting little stones and whatnot
that I could take back study. And so, I mean,
I didn't see the song. I didn't see Tahoe TESSI
I didn't see any water babies, but I wasn't expecting to.
This was kind of an exploratory mission, right, And so
(23:00):
then after that, I walked back to this resort we
were visiting, and I said, you know, Lauren, we are
very close to the oldest bar in saloon in all
of Nevada. It's called the Genoa Bar and Sloon, and
(23:21):
it's supposed to be very, very haunted. So I said,
why don't we go there next? And so Lauren was
all up for that, of course. And you know, I also,
while I was in Lake Tahoe, I'm kind of you know,
you can imagine I'm kind of the geek. I like
going to places where movies were shot. One of the
(23:41):
movies I like is called Smoking Aces, that was shot
there in Lake Tahoe. And I went to the Bally's
Casino where they filmed that, and you know, just knocked
around there. And then we got in the car and
we drove to Genoa and the bar the saloon there
has been operation apparently since eighteen fifty one or eighteen
(24:05):
fifty two. Now, you've got to understand something. The Civil
War started in eighteen sixty one here in the US,
so this is you know, about ten years before the
Civil War started, this saloon was open, and of course
it's haunted, but it also has a lot of other
(24:27):
weird I mean, women used to go in there and
put their bras all over the ceiling of this place.
And then one day the actress rock Hel Welch, she
was filming a movie near Lake Tahoe, and she goes
(24:47):
in and she goes, hey, I want to put my
bra up on this ceiling. But there is one condition. Okay,
when we come back, I'm gonna tell you about that
and what I was told by the bartender about the ghosts.
I'm josh whoopee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
(25:08):
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network,
and I will be right back after these important messages.
(25:51):
Welcome back to Strange Things all the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal podcast that work. I am your host,
Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show where the
unusual becomes usual. My mom and dad were always big
fans of Bonanza. Lauren never watched that show. My mom
(26:17):
and dad liked to watch westerns all the time, and
so I grew up watching westerns, and I probably for
my age, I probably know more than the average person
about nineteen fifties and sixties and seventies westerns. But you know,
Bonanza took place sort of in this general area. I'm
(26:39):
going to get to Virginia City in a minute. But anyway,
so we go to this place, the Genoa Bar and Saloon,
and I'm telling you, Genna was spelled ge Na. Lauren
said this was her favorite place, and I think it
might have been mine also. I mean, it was amazing.
You walk into this bar and I'm telling you, it
looks exactly like you wanted to look. It's it's dark,
(27:04):
it's rich, it's dingy, it smells old. There's weird stuff
all over the walls, and it was packed out. And
so I drink a local amber beer while sitting there
(27:25):
at this bar, this section of the bar that had
been there since eighteen fifty one. And I told you
that the tradition was for women to hang their bras
all over the sill in the Old West. These ladies
were they were pretty pretty flexible in terms of their morality.
(27:50):
So yeah, Roquel welch, she says, I will put my
bra up there, but you have to remove all the
other bras and they were like, okay, fine, So they
took all the other bras down from one. Understand they're
in a safe or something like that, and so her
lone bra is hanging from the ceiling. The place was
(28:11):
so packed. I was starting to think I might not
be able to get an opportunity to talk to the
bartender and get some stories. But finally there was a
calm and I said, how long have you worked here? Gosh,
it was like decades, you know. And she said, well,
in terms of ghost stories, there is a woman in
(28:33):
a white dress that is seen at the end of
the bar. And she said there have also been a
lot of reports over the years of some kind of
a shadow figure wearing a cowboy hat. But she said
that the thing that she notices most of all is
that if you leave for a while, like you take
(28:55):
a vacation for a week or two, and then you
come back, they mess with you the ghost you there.
She said that, for example, she left for two weeks
and head of vacation when she came back, there's two
cash registers. She said, she'd be at one cash register
and there would be nobody else around, and the second
cash register would just pop open at the other end
(29:16):
of the bar, So she'd go down to that cash
register and close it, and then the first cash register
would pop open, and then she'd go over and close it.
And he kept playing this game with her. But she said,
one of the weirdest things is that if you walk
downstairs into the cellar, there's an old fashioned light bulb
(29:36):
that screws into a socket. And she said, frequently they'll
come to work in the morning and they like, why
is the light not working? And that light bulb is unscrewed,
and it's sitting there on the steps, totally intact, and
(29:58):
they have to take it and screw it back in.
And but one of the weirdest things is that while
I was sitting there and talking to her, and I
swear to you this is the truth. I even took
a picture of it, there was a bottle of tanga
ay gin that was on a shelf, a low shelf,
and I watched this bottle of tanga ay just I
(30:20):
mean tanger ay. It's a big bottle. I watched this
bottle of tangaay just jump off of the shelf and
it didn't break. But uh, maybe if you go to
my Instagram, I'll put a picture up of that if
I can remember. So I saw that with my own eyes.
Joshua Pee Warren podcast. I think it is my Instagram page.
(30:44):
So anyway, like that was amazing. Oh man, this should
be like a four hour podcast. I have so many
notes here. So anyway, that and I ended up in
this sports bar called Bully's and uh In in Carson City,
which is the capital of Nevada, and uh I ended up.
(31:07):
It's funny because I was, we were Lauren and I.
We were about to go there because they said they
had good pizza and everything. And I said, you know what,
I should put my gold chain on because a lot
of times when you when you travel, you don't want
to wear jewelry. And I don't wear jewelry a lot anyway,
But if you've never heard about my real goal, it's
(31:30):
called the Real gold Chain dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
This is a gold chain that I process in my
laboratory with parasigmatics and I and I treat it with
all of these abundance frequencies. So I said, I, you
know what, I I brought it with me. I forgot
to put it on. I put on my goal chain,
the real gold Chain dot Com. I go to bullies
(31:56):
and of course, don't you know, I had a jackpot.
That was my first jackpot. It was over three thousand
dollars and uh so, then the next day Lauren and
I we wake up and we decided to drive to
Virginia City. Now, Virginia City is over six thousand feet
(32:21):
in elevation. Now I'm from Asheville, North Carolina. The highest
peak east of the Mississippi is Mount Mitchell and it's
six thousand something I think, I want to say six
thousand and six eighty four feet. It's it's so basically
when you go to Virginia City, Nevada, it's like you're
you're on top of Mount Mitchell, and it's kind of
like a Gatlin bird. You drive up these big, steep,
(32:44):
windy roads and when you get there, I mean, it's
just one old like but real authentic old west store,
general store, hotel, bar after another. It's absolutely amazing, one
of the coolest places I've ever been to in my
entire life. And what's funny is that this was on
(33:12):
June twenties first, I think, and by two o'clock, it
was snowing there. Two days later it was seventy eight
degrees there. But on that day, which was I guess
a Saturday, it was snowing. So anyway, we're running around
(33:32):
and one of the places I went to, of course,
was the Washo Club. And if you are a fan
of ghost adventures, then you probably know about the Washow
Club Ghost Adventures document. It's a amazing, full bodied apparition
activity at the wash Show Club, and so it was
really cool to go in there and see, well, I mean,
(33:58):
it's one of those places where like everybody used to
hang out there, Thomas Edison, Teddy Roosevelt. A lot of
people don't realize that Mark Twain kind of got his
start as an author around that part of Nevada, working
for the newspaper and such, and he actually got into
some problems because he started investing into some gold mines
(34:20):
that that didn't turn out in the long run to
be so successful. When Mark Twain once wrote a gold mine,
there's a hole in the ground with a liar at
the top. And then we went into this other saloon
(34:44):
where they had a suicide table. It was it was
a gambling table that they had a big glass case
around and they said, this is the suicide table because
so many people have lost their behind here and can
minted suicide. And so Lauren said, hey, do you want
(35:05):
your picture in front of the suicide table. I said, no,
there's there's a there's a bar there, there's a saloon there.
I mean, it's just like one after the other. Uh
called the Bucket of Blood and uh So I went
into there and they were packed out, and I said
to the to the bartender, I said, why why is
(35:26):
it called the bucket of blood? She was one of
the snooty ones. Did you like, I'll tell you. She
just said that, you know, it's like all the miners
would go there after they would after they would hit,
and they would get gems and minerals and they'd bring
a bucket in and then they'd gamble them and the
(35:48):
things would get out of hand and you got missy.
So anyway, I had some good barbecue there. Next day
went over to the uh went drove up to Reno,
went to the Pepper Mill gambling there, sucked. Went to
(36:11):
the Silver Legacy gambling there, sucked. Next day I went
to this place in Carson City called Red's Old three
nine five Grill and it was amazing this place. It
was just like a must see attraction. And this is
(36:35):
where God's numbers come into play. Because I had already had,
you know, some wins and some losses. But I went
to Red's Old three nine five grill there where they
have a cart on the ceiling that was a I mean,
(36:57):
like a real wooden cart was used in the movie
plan of the Apes and just weird stuff like that,
and an old like steam engine there. And this is
where I discovered God's numbers. And I have won a
lot of money using those numbers, and I'm going to
(37:19):
tell you about it when I come back from this break.
I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to the
(38:15):
final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the
iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I
am your host, Joshua pet Warren. Yeah, Laurena and I
had a great time exploring that whole area. We went
to some hot springs there in Carson City, very hot
(38:39):
springs one hundred and four degrees fahrenheit. I went to
an antique store and found this extremely rare obscure, the
sculpture of something that looked a little bit like the
creature from the bl Black Lagoon. But it had a
(39:02):
tag on it that said creature from Pyramid Lake. And
I love stuff like that, and that's that's a part
of my collection now. But so here here we were
at the reds Old three ninety five grill. And look,
this may not make sense to you if you don't
(39:24):
ever mess with gambling machines, but you know, a lot
of times these days, these gambling machines are touch screens.
And so I sat down and I was playing Keno,
which is where you have a bunch of numbers and
you just pick some numbers. And usually if you pick
five numbers and the balls drop and hit your five numbers,
then you know you get a pretty good payoff. And
(39:47):
so I was trying to select my five numbers, but
the machine was uncalibrated and really really really out of whack,
one of the worst I've ever seen. So for example,
if I would try to push a number, it would
select another number that was about literally six inches away,
so I got frustrated and I just go whatever, and
(40:10):
I just punched five things, and then five numbers came up,
which I did not actually select, and I said, well,
I guess those are going to be God's numbers. And
we were just waiting for our food to get or
we'd put in our our request for a seat, so
we were waiting to be seated. I put twenty dollars
(40:32):
in at the bar and I just haphazardly picked these
five numbers, and again I didn't even pick on the
machine picked them for me. And then I hit the
button three times. I was betting a dollar, I believe,
so that's three dollars and then boom, I won over
eight hundred dollars. It hit all five of those numbers.
(40:57):
And that was just the beginning. Because you know, I
have to admit I was wearing the real gold chain
throughout this because because once I hit, once I had
that first success, I was like, okay, I'm I'm continuing
to wear the gold chain. And so the next day
(41:22):
we went to another bar and I said, you know,
I'm going to pick those same five numbers that I
went on before, but this time I'm going to up
the ante, and I'm going to add arbitrarily a couple
(41:47):
more numbers to it. We're talking about seven numbers. Now,
when you're playing kenot, if you pick seven numbers, I
believe that there are twenty balls that fall, and the
odds of you hitting seven of those is about one
(42:09):
and forty thousand. But I did it. I picked my
five numbers that I was jokingly calling God's numbers, and
then I picked an extra two and I've got it
on videotape. In less than a minute, I hit all
seven of those numbers and I won seven thousand dollars.
(42:35):
So I am now going to share these numbers with you.
And again, even if you don't gamble, it's not just
about gambling. I mean, if you play the lotto, fine
you if you play kino, maybe even you know you
(42:56):
do roulette. I mean, if numbers mean something to you,
maybe can take something from this. But even if they don't,
even if you're you're not a gambling type, think about
this in terms of again like dates and times and
symbolism that you might be able to incorporate into your life.
(43:16):
And I so, I think this is going to be
really interesting. I don't think i've ever done this before.
I'm going to give you the five numbers that have
been extraordinarily successful for me on this trip, what I
call God's numbers because I didn't pick them, and but
(43:38):
they win, they win. Uh, and then it's going to
be fascinating to hear if some of you use these
numbers and you also win, and then you know, that
will be something that I can sort of, uh, you know,
just report to everybody about on the show, and then
(43:59):
you here's something else. You also have to realize. You
might be like, well, I have so many notes, it's insane.
You might say, well, well, Josh, why would you give
out these these numbers? Well, the reality is, I mean,
there's billions of people on this earth, and even if
(44:22):
millions of people listen to this show, it's it's still
just going to be a tiny fragment of people compared
to the people on Earth. So it's it's not like that,
you know, we're sabotaging anything. Okay, are you ready? Here
are the numbers. I'll give you the original five, and
(44:43):
then I'm going to give you the arbitrary extra two
that I picked that won me the seven grand. Here
we go, eight twenty five twenty six, twenty eight, thirty eight. Again,
(45:11):
those original five god numbers are eight, twenty five, twenty six,
twenty eight, and thirty eight. And that's when I went
on originally those five numbers, but then later I said,
you know what, I'm gonna up my game. So I
decided to pick two extra numbers. And the two that
(45:35):
I picked were one and seventy one. So that's it again,
odds of one in forty thousand, and I hit it,
so eight twenty five, twenty six, twenty eight, thirty eight,
and then if you want to to really swing for
(45:58):
the fences, add in the one in the seventy one.
You know, I'm looking over all my notes here. It's like,
oh man, I have so many, so many interesting things
to talk about. I went into an antique store, and
(46:22):
you know what, I bought something really really, really cool.
But I don't think I'm going to tell you what
it is right now. I'm so tempted to just tell
you everything, but I got to save something for later.
You know, I've been doing this show here called Strange
(46:42):
Things for well, I guess about five years. And look,
I'm just gonna be honest with you. I do. I
do enjoy cussing, but I can't cuss all this. I've
been told that I am a very good cusser, that
(47:03):
I'm good at cursing, and then I think there may
be a bit of an art to that. So I
but this is a family friendly show. But you know,
there was a guy who emailed me the other day
and he said, have you ever considered doing a show
every day? Well, I used to do a show every
single day and it was totally uncensored, called Joshua P.
(47:24):
Warren Daily. I did over five hundred of them, and
I yeah, I cussed. So if you are interested in
listening to that, go to j p W Daily dot
com jp W Daily dot com and then you can
(47:47):
listen to hundreds of episodes of me making a fool
of myself and using R rated language. Well I think
that's about it. Yeah, So I think it's now time
(48:10):
for us to chill out, meditate together, help each other out.
You know, I don't always in the show this way,
but I usually do. I want us all to focus
together on the one true, original good fortune tongue. If
(48:32):
you can close your eyes regardless, take a deep breath,
Let's make your next week the best week. Ever, here
it is the Good Fortune Tom. That's it for this

Speaker 3 (01:08):
I am Joshua Wooe Warren, and each week on this show,
I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises,
and weird experiments you can do at home, and a
lot more.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
On this edition of the show, the on Creepy Water
Babies and Tahoe Tessie. I just got back from a
big trip. I'm so exhausted. I should not even be
recording the show right now, but you know, I kind
(01:42):
of like to share things with you when they are
fresh on my mind. When I've just gotten back from
the field. I think you can. You can forgive me
if I sound a little rough, But you know, I
always tell people that, you know, I'm not really a podcaster.
The podcast is the result of all the other things
(02:06):
that I do. And I have a heck of a
story for you because I live here in Las Vegas, Nevada,
and I have lived here for close to ten years,
but I've never traveled north up to the area around
Lake Tahoe and Carson City and Virginia City and Reno.
(02:27):
Just hadn't gotten around to it. But I had been
wanting to do it for a long time because there
are some really spooky, weird things up there I'm about
to tell you about. And so I finally made the trip,
just got back in. And by the way, this is
particularly interesting. I discovered some numbers up there that I
(02:51):
have now started calling God's numbers. And yes, it came
from gambling. I'll explain everything, but using these numbers and
playing Keno, I made over ten thousand dollars in two
(03:11):
or three days. And I didn't choose these numbers. They well,
you'll hear the story, and I am going to tell
you what these numbers are now even if you're not
a gambler, that doesn't matter, because I think when you
find numbers that have some kind of significance that they
can apply to I don't know, maybe dates times, there
(03:33):
may be other ways that just you know, writing a
number down brings up some kind of fortune numerologically speaking.
So I'm going to tell you what these numbers are
that I discovered what I'm calling God's numbers. But I'm
also going to tell you right up front, don't be
skipping around here on this show trying to find the end.
(03:57):
It won't work unless you listen to this entire show
from beginning to end, including all the commercials. And I
have nothing to do with the commercials. The commercials are
different from platform to platform. I have no idea what
your commercials are going to be. But for this to
work for you, you have to start listening right now
at the beginning, and then you've got to listen straight
(04:20):
through all the way to the end when I give
you these numbers. And I guarantee you once you hear
this story, you're going to want to experiment with these numbers.
So Lake Tahoe, if I were to get in my
car from my house here in Vegas and drive up there.
I would drive through a lot of barren land for
about seven and a half to eight hours to get
(04:44):
up to that part of Nevada. And you know, Lake
Tahoe is, well, it's a really extraordinary location. I mean,
for one thing, Lake Tahoe is it's the largest alpine
(05:04):
lake in North America. That means that it gets all
of its water from snowfall. So it's not like there
are you know, springs and rivers necessarily that are feeding
into it. All this snow melts into Lake Tahoe, which
is a third of Lake Tahoe is in Nevada and
two thirds of it is in California, so it's right
(05:25):
on the state line. So all this snow melts every
year and fills this lake up with water, and it's
the it's the second deepest lake in the United States
after Crater Lake in Oregon. Lake Tahoe is one thousand,
(05:46):
six hundred and forty five feet deep. That's five hundred
and one meters, and so other than the Great Lakes,
I mean, this is you know, this is a really
significant lake. And so all this snow melts into this
lake and it's incredibly pure incredibly pure. The water in
(06:06):
Lake Tahoe is ninety nine point nine nine four percent pure,
and that makes it nearly as pure as distilled water.
Commercially distilled water is ninety nine point nine nine eight
percent pure, and this is ninety nine point nine ninety
(06:27):
four percent pure. That's crazy. Lake Tahoe's clarity is incredible.
They say that the average visibility depth is around seventy feet.
So all this crystal clear, fresh pure water it melts
into Lake Tahoe, been there for millions of years, and
(06:51):
then from there the water drains into a lake that's
north of Lake taw in Nevada called Pyramid Lake. Through this,
it flows through this river called the Trucky River, and
then it goes to the Pyramid Lake. And Pyramid Lake
has called that because there are these big, amazing pyramid
(07:14):
shaped limestone formations in the lake. And from there it
just evaporates. So it's, as far as I can tell,
it's just sort of a closed system. And there are
all kinds of stories about monsters being up there around
Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake. I guess the most famous
(07:36):
one is Tahoe TESSI. My friend David Weatherley, he published
this book called Silver State Monsters. They call Nevada the
Silver State. He published this book in twenty nineteen, Cryptids
and Legends of Nevada. And yeah, there's some kind of
a creature that they say is in Lake Tahoe, similar
(07:58):
to NeSSI and Locknow here's what he wrote about it.
He said Tahoe Tessi as a water monster often compared
to Nessi's Scotland to NeSSI Scotland's famous Lockness Monster. It's
purported to be a serpent like creature with a long,
slender body that displays as humps trailing behind the creature
(08:18):
as it cuts through the water. The monster is a
fast moving beast. By some accounts, people have been seeing
Tahoe Tessi since the mid eighteen hundreds. He points out
there were two men who spotted it on the lake
in the nineteen fifties. They were out boating when they
saw the large black humps rise up from the water
(08:41):
and keep pace with their boat at over sixty miles
per hour. So, I mean, there are just like tons
and tons let's see here. Gosh, this book is, it's
so detailed. And again, you know, people have been seeing
some kind of a creature out there for the longest time,
(09:05):
and then we have the water babies. Do you know
what the water babies are? Water babies. They're mainly seen
around Pyramid Lake up there in Nevada, which is the
largest natural lake in Nevada, because that even though Lake
(09:26):
Tahoe is bigger, two thirds of Lake Tahoe is in California.
But again, Tahoe and Pyramid Lake are connected. Water babies.
Here's what a Native American elder said. Sometimes at night
you can hear the cries of the water babies coming
out from the lake, up from the water, especially in
(09:50):
the springtime. Long sound make you feel sad and afraid
at the same time. Bad omen. Bad omen to hear
a water baby, bad omen to see a water baby.
Some of the old ones say, if you see a
water baby, it means you're going to die. Now. I
know you're thinking, like, what what is a water baby?
(10:14):
Oh boy, David Weatherley writes. Some say that these are
spirits in the lakes, water creatures that look like human
babies with distorted forms and faces twisted by rage and hate,
and they lurk beneath the water's surface, waiting for victims.
(10:37):
Anyone who wanders too close to the water's edge, risks
being grabbed by the water babies and drug to their
end in the depths of the lake. Well where did
these come from? Well, listen to this. The idea that
the water babies are actually spirits of dead children is
(11:00):
a variation of the origin. It is claimed that some
early people through disabled, malformed, and premature children into the lake.
According to this tale, it's the restless ghosts of these
babies the linger in the water, crying out at night,
(11:22):
seeking revenge for lives cut off too soon after birth.
Indications are this version is a later edition. Okay, look,
there's more creepiness to talk about. I knew this show
was going to fly right by, and it turns out
we're up on a break. Ay. Do you like this show?
It's a free show. If you want me to keep

I'm going to tell you more about what I found
when I traveled to the Land of the Water Babies.
I'm Joshua PE Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
(12:45):
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange
(13:27):
Things all the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird,
Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my
studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day
is golden and every night is silver. Azidato Zoome. I
(13:52):
lived most of the first forty years of my life
on the East Coast, primarily Asheville, North Carolina, and you
know I kind of got to the point though, where
I wanted to explore more areas, and I moved to
(14:15):
Nevada because it is the most free state in the
country in the USA. Freest is that a word? I mean, yes,
I sometimes it's ridiculously hot one hundred and twenty degrees fahrenheit,
But you know what, I'll kind of take that to
have the right to be treated as an adult twenty
(14:37):
four to seven. That's how important freedom is to me.
And I have a lot of fun seeing new things
every single day. I'm never ever born. And I hope
that if you are ever near Las Vegas, Nevada, that
you will take my Haunted Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour.
And now it's the primo time to do it. Just
(14:59):
go to Haunted Bouldercity dot com. It's right outside of Vegas.
And so when I traveled up there to the Lake
Tahoe area, I was also interested in this extremely bizarre
story regarding this creature called the ong O n g
The Legend of the Og. Going back to this book
(15:21):
by my friend David Weatherley, Silver State Monsters, he writes
Native American legends around Lake Tahoetel of a monstrous bird
that once preyed on people in the area. According to
native lore, the ong was a monstrous bird with the
body of an eagle. Its wings were taller than the
(15:42):
tallest pine trees. It was covered in feathers that were impenetrable.
Arrows from the strongest bow could not pierce it, and
the strongest spears would fail to sink into its flesh.
The ong was fond of human flesh, but it only
preyed on the weak, children, women, and lone hunters or warriors,
(16:06):
and it was considered a coward. The OG's preferred prey
was due to its weakness. It had no beak to
strike with and no claws to tear at its victims.
The ong's feet were webbed, so while it could use
them to grab victims, it could not kill with its feet,
and it relied almost solely on its size. The og
(16:30):
lived in a nest at the bottom of the lake.
It would take its prey high into the air and
drop them into the water of Lake Tahoe, letting them
die from the fall or drown in the water, and
the undercurrent in the lake would pull the corpse to
the ong's nest in the middle of the lake. And
(16:52):
then he tells a story about this young warrior who
supposedly defeated the ong, and I believe that that warrior's
name was Tahoe, and that's supposedly where the lake got
its name from. So anyway, read this book seriously. David
Weatherley Silver State Monsters. He has a whole series of
(17:13):
books about monsters in states and they are all fantastic.
I interviewed him on one episode of this show. So
I go, fine, the time is ripe. I am ready
to go up and explore this area. Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Reno, Nevada,
Carson City, Nevada, Virginia City. And my wife Lauren and
(17:39):
I we took this airline called js X, which is
basically a private charter jet. So yes, it costs a
little more than you know, usual, but you can show
up like twenty minutes before the flight leaves, and you
go through very efficient security, and then you get on
(18:06):
the jet and then they give you a snack and
a cocktail, and then you land. And when you land,
your rental car is sitting right there next to the plane,
and you get off the plane and you get in
your car and it's just you know, it's fantastic. As
we were flying out because we were in a private
(18:27):
jet terminal, we passed the Janet Airlines. You've heard me
talk about those. Those are the airlines that fly out
every single day from Vegas to Area fifty one and
back and take employees back and forth. They're white planes
and they have a red stripe down the side and
no other markings. And so I actually got a real nice,
(18:50):
good close look at the Janet terminal. Nobody knows what
Janet means. Apparently the joke is it means just another
non existent terminal. Well, once we got up there to
Lake Tahoe, in that area, I gotta tell you, you know,
we had a wonderful time. Even though I'm gonna be
(19:12):
honest with you, I was a little bit surprised because
in Las Vegas, a lot of your servers and bartenders
and people like that are just super super nice. But
there were a lot of snooty, kind of snarky people
once we got up into that area. I don't know
why that is. You can you can insert your own theory,
(19:35):
but you know that that was just one of the
weird things that I realized right off the batch. And
you know, when we got up there, we we went
to all these different restaurants and bars. Had a drink
called the Tahoe Tessie. And you know the thing is,
(19:56):
when you go to Lake Tahoe, it is it's strikingly utiful.
It was incredibly windy when we arrived that day. We
got our rental car, we were driving up to the lake.
It was so windy that there was a major incident
on the roadway and a like a duly Dodge ram
(20:19):
had a big travel trailer attached to it and it
had blown over and jackknifed on the road, and then
there was a big forest fire burning off the distance.
And then it turns out that same day a boat
capsized on Lake Tahoe and eight people died. So it
(20:45):
was quite dramatic, quite dramatic. And so I mean, we
got up there and we were just kind of like
calming our nerves. And obviously this is not like a
trappl vlogs. I'm not going to give you every detail,
but I will tell you that there's a restaurant up
there and Reno that serves a drink called the Tahoe Tessie.
(21:09):
And I know a lot of you who listen to
the show you're interested in drink recipes, and it was
really good. Tahoe Tessie. Let's see here the Wild River Grill.
Tahoe Tessie has Tahoe Blue vodka, lime, cucumber mint, some
(21:30):
refreshing fizz from club soda, some simple syrup garnish with
a cucumber slice and a sprig of fresh mint. So
you know, here we are up there, we're having a
good time. And uh, I'm standing next to the lake,
(21:50):
and the lake is again it's sort of like it's
so bright and blue and azure that it, uh, I
don't know, it kind of radiates, it kind of radiates
that color in a way that you can't quite capture
on film. I went to this place called the Edgewood Resort,
(22:14):
real nice resort, and they had their own little private beach,
and so I walked right down there to the shore
and I put my fingers inside Lake Tahoe and it
was cool. Wasn't icy cold, though, but it was definitely cool.
(22:36):
Picked up some interesting, little interesting little stones and whatnot
that I could take back study. And so, I mean,
I didn't see the song. I didn't see Tahoe TESSI
I didn't see any water babies, but I wasn't expecting to.
This was kind of an exploratory mission, right, And so
(23:00):
then after that, I walked back to this resort we
were visiting, and I said, you know, Lauren, we are
very close to the oldest bar in saloon in all
of Nevada. It's called the Genoa Bar and Sloon, and
(23:21):
it's supposed to be very, very haunted. So I said,
why don't we go there next? And so Lauren was
all up for that, of course. And you know, I also,
while I was in Lake Tahoe, I'm kind of you know,
you can imagine I'm kind of the geek. I like
going to places where movies were shot. One of the
(23:41):
movies I like is called Smoking Aces, that was shot
there in Lake Tahoe. And I went to the Bally's
Casino where they filmed that, and you know, just knocked
around there. And then we got in the car and
we drove to Genoa and the bar the saloon there
has been operation apparently since eighteen fifty one or eighteen
(24:05):
fifty two. Now, you've got to understand something. The Civil
War started in eighteen sixty one here in the US,
so this is you know, about ten years before the
Civil War started, this saloon was open, and of course
it's haunted, but it also has a lot of other
(24:27):
weird I mean, women used to go in there and
put their bras all over the ceiling of this place.
And then one day the actress rock Hel Welch, she
was filming a movie near Lake Tahoe, and she goes
(24:47):
in and she goes, hey, I want to put my
bra up on this ceiling. But there is one condition. Okay,
when we come back, I'm gonna tell you about that
and what I was told by the bartender about the ghosts.
I'm josh whoopee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
(25:08):
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network,
and I will be right back after these important messages.
(25:51):
Welcome back to Strange Things all the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal podcast that work. I am your host,
Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show where the
unusual becomes usual. My mom and dad were always big
fans of Bonanza. Lauren never watched that show. My mom
(26:17):
and dad liked to watch westerns all the time, and
so I grew up watching westerns, and I probably for
my age, I probably know more than the average person
about nineteen fifties and sixties and seventies westerns. But you know,
Bonanza took place sort of in this general area. I'm
(26:39):
going to get to Virginia City in a minute. But anyway,
so we go to this place, the Genoa Bar and Saloon,
and I'm telling you, Genna was spelled ge Na. Lauren
said this was her favorite place, and I think it
might have been mine also. I mean, it was amazing.
You walk into this bar and I'm telling you, it
looks exactly like you wanted to look. It's it's dark,
(27:04):
it's rich, it's dingy, it smells old. There's weird stuff
all over the walls, and it was packed out. And
so I drink a local amber beer while sitting there
(27:25):
at this bar, this section of the bar that had
been there since eighteen fifty one. And I told you
that the tradition was for women to hang their bras
all over the sill in the Old West. These ladies
were they were pretty pretty flexible in terms of their morality.
(27:50):
So yeah, Roquel welch, she says, I will put my
bra up there, but you have to remove all the
other bras and they were like, okay, fine, So they
took all the other bras down from one. Understand they're
in a safe or something like that, and so her
lone bra is hanging from the ceiling. The place was
(28:11):
so packed. I was starting to think I might not
be able to get an opportunity to talk to the
bartender and get some stories. But finally there was a
calm and I said, how long have you worked here? Gosh,
it was like decades, you know. And she said, well,
in terms of ghost stories, there is a woman in
(28:33):
a white dress that is seen at the end of
the bar. And she said there have also been a
lot of reports over the years of some kind of
a shadow figure wearing a cowboy hat. But she said
that the thing that she notices most of all is
that if you leave for a while, like you take
(28:55):
a vacation for a week or two, and then you
come back, they mess with you the ghost you there.
She said that, for example, she left for two weeks
and head of vacation when she came back, there's two
cash registers. She said, she'd be at one cash register
and there would be nobody else around, and the second
cash register would just pop open at the other end
(29:16):
of the bar, So she'd go down to that cash
register and close it, and then the first cash register
would pop open, and then she'd go over and close it.
And he kept playing this game with her. But she said,
one of the weirdest things is that if you walk
downstairs into the cellar, there's an old fashioned light bulb
(29:36):
that screws into a socket. And she said, frequently they'll
come to work in the morning and they like, why
is the light not working? And that light bulb is unscrewed,
and it's sitting there on the steps, totally intact, and
(29:58):
they have to take it and screw it back in.
And but one of the weirdest things is that while
I was sitting there and talking to her, and I
swear to you this is the truth. I even took
a picture of it, there was a bottle of tanga
ay gin that was on a shelf, a low shelf,
and I watched this bottle of tanga ay just I
(30:20):
mean tanger ay. It's a big bottle. I watched this
bottle of tangaay just jump off of the shelf and
it didn't break. But uh, maybe if you go to
my Instagram, I'll put a picture up of that if
I can remember. So I saw that with my own eyes.
Joshua Pee Warren podcast. I think it is my Instagram page.
(30:44):
So anyway, like that was amazing. Oh man, this should
be like a four hour podcast. I have so many
notes here. So anyway, that and I ended up in
this sports bar called Bully's and uh In in Carson City,
which is the capital of Nevada, and uh I ended up.
(31:07):
It's funny because I was, we were Lauren and I.
We were about to go there because they said they
had good pizza and everything. And I said, you know what,
I should put my gold chain on because a lot
of times when you when you travel, you don't want
to wear jewelry. And I don't wear jewelry a lot anyway,
But if you've never heard about my real goal, it's
(31:30):
called the Real gold Chain dot com.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
This is a gold chain that I process in my
laboratory with parasigmatics and I and I treat it with
all of these abundance frequencies. So I said, I, you
know what, I I brought it with me. I forgot
to put it on. I put on my goal chain,
the real gold Chain dot Com. I go to bullies
(31:56):
and of course, don't you know, I had a jackpot.
That was my first jackpot. It was over three thousand
dollars and uh so, then the next day Lauren and
I we wake up and we decided to drive to
Virginia City. Now, Virginia City is over six thousand feet
(32:21):
in elevation. Now I'm from Asheville, North Carolina. The highest
peak east of the Mississippi is Mount Mitchell and it's
six thousand something I think, I want to say six
thousand and six eighty four feet. It's it's so basically
when you go to Virginia City, Nevada, it's like you're
you're on top of Mount Mitchell, and it's kind of
like a Gatlin bird. You drive up these big, steep,
(32:44):
windy roads and when you get there, I mean, it's
just one old like but real authentic old west store,
general store, hotel, bar after another. It's absolutely amazing, one
of the coolest places I've ever been to in my
entire life. And what's funny is that this was on
(33:12):
June twenties first, I think, and by two o'clock, it
was snowing there. Two days later it was seventy eight
degrees there. But on that day, which was I guess
a Saturday, it was snowing. So anyway, we're running around
(33:32):
and one of the places I went to, of course,
was the Washo Club. And if you are a fan
of ghost adventures, then you probably know about the Washow
Club Ghost Adventures document. It's a amazing, full bodied apparition
activity at the wash Show Club, and so it was
really cool to go in there and see, well, I mean,
(33:58):
it's one of those places where like everybody used to
hang out there, Thomas Edison, Teddy Roosevelt. A lot of
people don't realize that Mark Twain kind of got his
start as an author around that part of Nevada, working
for the newspaper and such, and he actually got into
some problems because he started investing into some gold mines
(34:20):
that that didn't turn out in the long run to
be so successful. When Mark Twain once wrote a gold mine,
there's a hole in the ground with a liar at
the top. And then we went into this other saloon
(34:44):
where they had a suicide table. It was it was
a gambling table that they had a big glass case
around and they said, this is the suicide table because
so many people have lost their behind here and can
minted suicide. And so Lauren said, hey, do you want
(35:05):
your picture in front of the suicide table. I said, no,
there's there's a there's a bar there, there's a saloon there.
I mean, it's just like one after the other. Uh
called the Bucket of Blood and uh So I went
into there and they were packed out, and I said
to the to the bartender, I said, why why is
(35:26):
it called the bucket of blood? She was one of
the snooty ones. Did you like, I'll tell you. She
just said that, you know, it's like all the miners
would go there after they would after they would hit,
and they would get gems and minerals and they'd bring
a bucket in and then they'd gamble them and the
(35:48):
things would get out of hand and you got missy.
So anyway, I had some good barbecue there. Next day
went over to the uh went drove up to Reno,
went to the Pepper Mill gambling there, sucked. Went to
(36:11):
the Silver Legacy gambling there, sucked. Next day I went
to this place in Carson City called Red's Old three
nine five Grill and it was amazing this place. It
was just like a must see attraction. And this is
(36:35):
where God's numbers come into play. Because I had already had,
you know, some wins and some losses. But I went
to Red's Old three nine five grill there where they
have a cart on the ceiling that was a I mean,
(36:57):
like a real wooden cart was used in the movie
plan of the Apes and just weird stuff like that,
and an old like steam engine there. And this is
where I discovered God's numbers. And I have won a
lot of money using those numbers, and I'm going to
(37:19):
tell you about it when I come back from this break.
I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to the
(38:15):
final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the
iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I
am your host, Joshua pet Warren. Yeah, Laurena and I
had a great time exploring that whole area. We went
to some hot springs there in Carson City, very hot
(38:39):
springs one hundred and four degrees fahrenheit. I went to
an antique store and found this extremely rare obscure, the
sculpture of something that looked a little bit like the
creature from the bl Black Lagoon. But it had a
(39:02):
tag on it that said creature from Pyramid Lake. And
I love stuff like that, and that's that's a part
of my collection now. But so here here we were
at the reds Old three ninety five grill. And look,
this may not make sense to you if you don't
(39:24):
ever mess with gambling machines, but you know, a lot
of times these days, these gambling machines are touch screens.
And so I sat down and I was playing Keno,
which is where you have a bunch of numbers and
you just pick some numbers. And usually if you pick
five numbers and the balls drop and hit your five numbers,
then you know you get a pretty good payoff. And
(39:47):
so I was trying to select my five numbers, but
the machine was uncalibrated and really really really out of whack,
one of the worst I've ever seen. So for example,
if I would try to push a number, it would
select another number that was about literally six inches away,
so I got frustrated and I just go whatever, and
(40:10):
I just punched five things, and then five numbers came up,
which I did not actually select, and I said, well,
I guess those are going to be God's numbers. And
we were just waiting for our food to get or
we'd put in our our request for a seat, so
we were waiting to be seated. I put twenty dollars
(40:32):
in at the bar and I just haphazardly picked these
five numbers, and again I didn't even pick on the
machine picked them for me. And then I hit the
button three times. I was betting a dollar, I believe,
so that's three dollars and then boom, I won over
eight hundred dollars. It hit all five of those numbers.
(40:57):
And that was just the beginning. Because you know, I
have to admit I was wearing the real gold chain
throughout this because because once I hit, once I had
that first success, I was like, okay, I'm I'm continuing
to wear the gold chain. And so the next day
(41:22):
we went to another bar and I said, you know,
I'm going to pick those same five numbers that I
went on before, but this time I'm going to up
the ante, and I'm going to add arbitrarily a couple
(41:47):
more numbers to it. We're talking about seven numbers. Now,
when you're playing kenot, if you pick seven numbers, I
believe that there are twenty balls that fall, and the
odds of you hitting seven of those is about one
(42:09):
and forty thousand. But I did it. I picked my
five numbers that I was jokingly calling God's numbers, and
then I picked an extra two and I've got it
on videotape. In less than a minute, I hit all
seven of those numbers and I won seven thousand dollars.
(42:35):
So I am now going to share these numbers with you.
And again, even if you don't gamble, it's not just
about gambling. I mean, if you play the lotto, fine
you if you play kino, maybe even you know you
(42:56):
do roulette. I mean, if numbers mean something to you,
maybe can take something from this. But even if they don't,
even if you're you're not a gambling type, think about
this in terms of again like dates and times and
symbolism that you might be able to incorporate into your life.
(43:16):
And I so, I think this is going to be
really interesting. I don't think i've ever done this before.
I'm going to give you the five numbers that have
been extraordinarily successful for me on this trip, what I
call God's numbers because I didn't pick them, and but
(43:38):
they win, they win. Uh, and then it's going to
be fascinating to hear if some of you use these
numbers and you also win, and then you know, that
will be something that I can sort of, uh, you know,
just report to everybody about on the show, and then
(43:59):
you here's something else. You also have to realize. You
might be like, well, I have so many notes, it's insane.
You might say, well, well, Josh, why would you give
out these these numbers? Well, the reality is, I mean,
there's billions of people on this earth, and even if
(44:22):
millions of people listen to this show, it's it's still
just going to be a tiny fragment of people compared
to the people on Earth. So it's it's not like that,
you know, we're sabotaging anything. Okay, are you ready? Here
are the numbers. I'll give you the original five, and
(44:43):
then I'm going to give you the arbitrary extra two
that I picked that won me the seven grand. Here
we go, eight twenty five twenty six, twenty eight, thirty eight. Again,
(45:11):
those original five god numbers are eight, twenty five, twenty six,
twenty eight, and thirty eight. And that's when I went
on originally those five numbers, but then later I said,
you know what, I'm gonna up my game. So I
decided to pick two extra numbers. And the two that
(45:35):
I picked were one and seventy one. So that's it again,
odds of one in forty thousand, and I hit it,
so eight twenty five, twenty six, twenty eight, thirty eight,
and then if you want to to really swing for
(45:58):
the fences, add in the one in the seventy one.
You know, I'm looking over all my notes here. It's like,
oh man, I have so many, so many interesting things
to talk about. I went into an antique store, and
(46:22):
you know what, I bought something really really, really cool.
But I don't think I'm going to tell you what
it is right now. I'm so tempted to just tell
you everything, but I got to save something for later.
You know, I've been doing this show here called Strange
(46:42):
Things for well, I guess about five years. And look,
I'm just gonna be honest with you. I do. I
do enjoy cussing, but I can't cuss all this. I've
been told that I am a very good cusser, that
(47:03):
I'm good at cursing, and then I think there may
be a bit of an art to that. So I
but this is a family friendly show. But you know,
there was a guy who emailed me the other day
and he said, have you ever considered doing a show
every day? Well, I used to do a show every
single day and it was totally uncensored, called Joshua P.
(47:24):
Warren Daily. I did over five hundred of them, and
I yeah, I cussed. So if you are interested in
listening to that, go to j p W Daily dot
com jp W Daily dot com and then you can
(47:47):
listen to hundreds of episodes of me making a fool
of myself and using R rated language. Well I think
that's about it. Yeah, So I think it's now time
(48:10):
for us to chill out, meditate together, help each other out.
You know, I don't always in the show this way,
but I usually do. I want us all to focus
together on the one true, original good fortune tongue. If
(48:32):
you can close your eyes regardless, take a deep breath,
Let's make your next week the best week. Ever, here
it is the Good Fortune Tom. That's it for this
