Speaker 1 (00:00):
I live below a cult leader and I fear I've
angered her. Part two and we got this update eleven
days later. But before we get into it, do you
have any thoughts about what OPE should do?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I think, yeah, I continue just handle it through your
landlord for now. For what you could do, I don't know.
The stuff you've discovered is weird. I would be like,
I want to move.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, I would want to live when where my ceiling
is collapsing and the people above me are threatening me.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, pretty scary. If I have the ability to move,
I'm moving.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I'm out of there. I'm saying, hey, landlord, for obvious reasons,
I don't want to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, I wonder what, like you break your lease? Like yeah,
based on that, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, I'm living. I would want to move, you know, circumstances.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
The Cult of the Dirtslodge is above me, it's untenable.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah. And then years down the line we find out
all of this stuff about the cults and OPI's like
I used to live below the Cult of the Dirt Slang. Yeah,
I was right there.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I was right there beneath them.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Update two eleven days later. Okay, Dakota last we left
off in part one, op discovered her upstairs neighbors weren't
just exercising, they were running occults. We're talking ecstatic dance groups,
mysterious dirt rituals on their patio, and contractors found actual
sludge under their deck that's making Opee's ceiling collapse.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
What is the sludge made of?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But here's the kicker. Those neighbors are also connected to
compassionate passing groups that help people in the lead up
to their passing. So the big question is what exactly
is in that dirt they're spreading around. Let's dive into
part two and find out. But first, a quick two
minute break for the sponsors keeping this show afloat and
for you guys. We're going to get into this update
(01:37):
right now. Klea says, how haunted is Opee's house.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think maybe the dirt is what's haunted. Yeah, they
just haunt the dirt.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Marry and Kim finds his weight. Since Opie already lives
under the floor, isn't she already buried, maybe they think
she's haunting them. Yeah, They're like, we can see you,
we know what you're up to. Ghost and we're gonna
cast you out with our dirt rituals. You can't stay
here anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Imagine they're trying to do like spirit transference, and they're like, yeah,
we're trying to make the spirit of the people in
our dirt like actually take over you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Oh oh, he's just a vessel.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Oh he's the sacrificial avatar.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah. Yeah, the avatart dirt avatar avatar, not the dirtvatar.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah. Eleven days later, For those who are familiar with
my unsettling neighborly encounters, I have a mix of both
terrifying and somewhat encouraging updates to share. On Monday, my
super came to replaster my bedroom ceiling. First, he said
that my neighbors told the contractors she had a lot
of plants because she makes bush medicines.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What's that It's like medicines out that you use out
in the bush. Sure.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
She also told them that dancing is a part of
her professional practice as a healer for people who are
in bereavement after the loss of a loved one. So
my friend and I weren't far off when we made
the connection between her ecstatic dance and compassion passing. Affiliations.
I showed him new cracks in my living room ceiling
that are growing in size and number by the day.
(03:07):
He told me to send videos of the cracks to
building management, but management suggested I start with a handwritten
note by their door explaining how their behaviors are wreaking
havoc on my life. I mean, Op's already told them.
Doesn't seem like they really care.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
They got dirt, they got sludged, they got dance, they
got bush medicine.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I do think that you could potentially, I mean, I
don't know why your landlord hasn't done this already, but
usually if someone's running a business out of their apartment,
that's kind of a big no. Now, so you could
see if.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
They land probably be like, we're actually classified as a
religious following.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, they're classified as the show jump paychecks sludge.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Since the super was working in my apartment, my neighbor
was actively bumping music and jumping. I wrote a note
in which I requested she reduce the volume of her
music and be mindful of the intensity of her activities.
I explained that the jumping or dancing was causing signal
nificant new cracks in my living room ceiling, and I
offered for her to speak with me directly if needed.
(04:06):
While I was reluctant to suggest this, I knew she
might try another stocking trick if I didn't give her
the option up front, so I sent the notes. After
ninety minutes, my super said he had to leave for
an hour while the plaster dried, but he would be
back soon. Of course, my neighbor chose the end of
this timeframe to come down when I was alone.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Really know, when you're alone, it's creepy.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's really creepy.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The dirty whispering to them.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think they're just like they have their ear on
the floor and they're just keeping track of all of
Opie's movements. Or maybe they have some spy that's part
of the dirt cult that just watches ope.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, h freaky.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
They bugged your house.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
They dirted your house, they turned injury.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Bugged the house. But it's real bugs, yeah the dirt,
No bugs in your house. When I opened the door,
she again had the biggest fake smile and said Hi,
then waive the note. First of all, she said, I
want to thank you for your open communication. That's so
important and so rare in our city fake flattery. She
(05:12):
admitted that she dances, which she has to do for
her mental health, but she claimed that she only dances
in the mornings for thirty to sixty minutes ninety minutes.
Max I knew she was lying, so I said that
her actions are affecting my mental health. She followed up
with a range of excuses, including that they have been
in the process of rearranging furniture and unpacking boxes. What
(05:37):
boxes are you unpacking? You've been living there for three years,
and they sometimes watch movies in the evening with their
loud speakers. I showed her the cracks that were immediately
visible from the doorway area. She pointed to one and said, see,
we used to have one table over there, but now
we have two due to the furniture rearranging. This is
so obviously, Alie.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
What are your tables me out of titanium?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So maybe that's in Maybe that's the reason we also
have cracks in our ceiling, and you know we all
have to share this space. This is such bs. These
are so obvious, like, so obviously lies. She's dancing so
hard that your ceiling's cracking, and then she's saying, oh,
the reason that you have cracks in your ceiling is
(06:21):
because of the two tables we now have. Why do
you have two tables?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
There's the two tables are made out of dark matter.
They're so heavy.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, that they're actively being pulled through the floor.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
They're breaking the actual ceiling. Yeah, she's absurd.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, I mean it's really hard to break a ceiling. Guys,
they're made to be structurally sound. There's gotta be a
whole lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Your choices are in place, then it should be sturdy
and good.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, they're like we've been stacking tables up, so it
must be that.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I mean, like there are like if you do overload
a certain area. It's like my parents were redoing their
the kitchen. My mom wanted to put tile down in
the contractors like you, actually, you can't do that because
the way that the it would overload the floor and
it could collapse.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Go oh okay.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
The floor at my last apartment did break, which was
the person below me ceiling And I'm not we weren't
doing any any dance and story which weren't in dirt rituals. Man,
maybe I don't buy it, but the whole floor cracked,
Like there's something shifty about you dang crack and you
can join if you want to, So yeah, all right.
I asked her about hosting any large events in the
(07:28):
past month, which she flat out denied. She briefly mentioned
that she does fessions, but didn't elaborate further. The following
suggestion I later realized was entrapments. My neighbor said she
would give me her phone number, go upstairs, lower the volume,
then I should text her to let her know if
I could still hear it. And if you're new here,
there are multiple parts to this story, so make sure
(07:50):
to follow us on the iHeartRadio app or Apple podcasts. Okay,
let's get back into this story. Ohp, he is about
to be entrapped. Not good? Not good. Thankfully, when I
Super came back while she was in the process of
sharing her contact information, she immediately tensed up, quickly gave
the number, and scurried off. As she passed my Super,
(08:10):
she randomly blurted we're best friends now, referring to me
and her girl.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
If you don't stop, I swear, that's just literally I'm
gonna geeah, cringe, cringey.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Are there no bounds to your lies? I'd be like, oh, what, No,
we're not. My super and I are both aware of
the antics, so of course he didn't buy that manipulation tactic.
I texted her that I couldn't hear the music now,
to which she responded, so glad to hear that. Thanks
again for opening a line of communication. I'm always happy
to chat. Hope you have a lovely day. Prayer hands
(08:44):
heart emoji, hera hand's heart emoji. In retrospect, I think
she wasn't playing the music at all, probably not. I
also felt like our conversation was riddled with gaslighting, misdirection,
and flat out lies. I was somewhat confused, but I
know what I've been experiencing, and I have plenty of
evidence to prove it. Within hours of our conversation, my
(09:05):
neighbor started up the loud music and dancing as if
nothing happened. I was furious. I took new audio recordings
and immediately emailed the building management with my new evidence
footage of the ceiling cracks, along with a photo of
my note. I explained that my neighbor was kind, though
somewhat misleading, and expressed interest in accommodating my requests. I
(09:26):
also said her behaviors were continuing as normal, despite the
false claims that she would take my experiences into account.
The building manager said to keep her updated, but it
was clear she assumed the situation would be resolved on
its own. Nope, my neighbor continue with the incessant bass
in heavy music and jumping shenanigans. The next day and
the day after, I continued to document everything.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, it's all you can do it this morning if
you're building the documentation.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
If your landlord's not doing anything. On Wednesday evening, I
went out for a quick errand and again was a
victim of the stalking tricks. She ran into me as
I was entering the building, waited until I passed her
on the stairwell, and then spoke up. She acknowledged that
I've probably still been hearing her activities the past couple days,
and then I'll continue to hear them for the next
(10:15):
few days, all due to rearranging furniture.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Just that level of like delusion where you think that
someone will buy that would make me so stupid, someone
that is so just disconnected from real life that they
think that excuse.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Will be oh okay, great, Oh you're rearranging furniture for
three days. Great, and it sounds like music and jumping. Great.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I totally buy that. She said the coffee table had
been sold that day. Not true. I was working in
my living room all day and would have heard such
a commotion in the stairwell. I said, yes, I've been
hearing her loud and clear. Shortly after this in person encounter,
my neighbor went on to host a party. I heard
people in the stairwell who seem unfamiliar with whose apartment
(11:01):
they were even visiting, and one guest introduced herself as
a friend of someone else. While the music was much lower,
the group began running back and forth overhead. Hearing these
strange activities without the music was somewhat creepier than with
the music. I took more recordings than retreated to my bedroom,
but of course, the group decided to migrate to their
patio right above my head again. By ten thirty pm,
(11:25):
I had enough. They were no longer dancing, but the
group's chatter, along with ethereal music a female soprano singing vocalizations,
was too much. I sent her a text. I explained
that I understand she has every right to host guests
in her space, but I was perturbed by the way
she said to my face that any excess noise I
(11:46):
might hear in the coming days was from rearranging furniture.
I said, I could hear music and conversations very clearly
as the noise filters through my AC units. I also
said to please let me know if they will be
hosting events in the future, so I'm not caught off guards.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
All right, we are long overdue for like the direct
confrontation of like, I know you're not moving furniture.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I know, to stop telling me you're doing that. Just
whatever you're.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Doing, do it quieter. Just I don't know, I don't
care what you do. You know what I'm not here.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Just do it then, literally, or just stop it. Do
it on the ground outside. You like dirt, Go put
the dirt outside where it belongs.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, Caitlyn says, Yeah, why isn't anyone called the damn cops.
I think you need to start filing noise complaints, honestly,
because your landlord's super no one's doing anything. Yeah, we
gotta start filing those noise complaints cuz ten thirty is
after quiet hours.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I guess it's good to not be like I just
someone be like Hi, oh my god, thank you so much,
blah blah blah, and then like going right back to it.
I would not be friendly anymore. I would not entertain them.
I'd be like me and you aren't friends me and
you aren't cool. What you're doing bothers me every day
and you just tell me lies.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, you're a freaking liar.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Whatever you're up to is freaking weird. You're a freak,
and it disrupts me and my life. Yeah, and then
you're good.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Sam, here og host, we're gonna get back to these stories.
But here's three minutes fads from our sponsors. First, Wow,
my neighbor didn't respond that night. Within minutes of my
sending the message, the group began to sing the Happy
Birthday song in the most somber way I've ever heard
it sung. I was able to record the second half
of it.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Do we have that record?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
They sang it in a monotone, and there was no
clapping or cheering or any standard signs of merriment that
occur after singing the song. I'm sorry they went Happy
birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
To you, Happy Birthday to the dirt, Happy Dirday to
Happy dirt Day.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's like they're doing a monk like the the Monk.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Oh my god, no OPI thought they were singing Birthday,
but they were singing dirt Day.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
And it's the day that they turn people into slodge
and spray them on the dark.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Aha. Terrifying. Oh eh. The following afternoon, my neighbor sent
me a wall of text in which she continued to lie.
She said that the gathering was very small, only four friends,
so it didn't even cross her mind to let me
know it when she saw me earlier. She also said
it was the first time they had hosted more than
(14:25):
two people over this entire year. Stop lying, stop it.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I just would like stop interacting with her entirely. And
at this point I would be playing like the beginning
of that the Who song where.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's just like a yell yeah because yeah, And then
every time she says hey, like it's a little loud,
I'd be like, I'd be like, what are you talking about.
I'm just rearranging furniture.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
There's literally no music playing. I don't know what you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
She said. When she first saw my text, they lowered
the music volume and told the friends to quiet down,
so she admitted that she saw my but made no
mention of any birthday affair. As for the furniture rearranging,
she explained that it's been part of a long term
project and added more lies, like how they had just
received a dining table and bookshelf they'd been waiting on
(15:13):
for eight months. Not only would I have seen such
large packages in the stairwell, but also why share so
much irrelevant information if being truthful. Finally, my neighbors said
that they will be hosting two more events next week,
another small gathering of four friends next Wednesday in honor
of her partner's birthday, and a larger gathering on Friday,
(15:35):
again for his birthday. There are all of the things
are for his birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Actually we have multiple birthdays, like I said.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
She made no mention of singing Happy Birthday of the
night before. Who would host three birthday parties over two weeks?
It was all false. She followed up five minutes later
with a second text that explained she was late to
respond because she's been in back to back sessions, so
I find had written evidence of her talking about these sessions.
(16:03):
I didn't respond to the text. I refuse to engage
her or her partner any further. They continued to play
music and stomp around that evening, but I had my
boyfriend and friend who heard everything and validated me that
all of this is absolutely maddening. On Friday, I finally
called my building manager to explain everything. She needed to
(16:24):
understand that something very strange and potentially dangerous is going
on above me. Thankfully, I was finally believed. Good. I mean,
it's ridiculous that they haven't done anything about this after
all of the times that you complained.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, took them long enough, took.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Them too long. Thankfully, I was finally believed. It turns
out my building had no idea that she was running
some form of business and hosting group events, which is illegal.
I said that earlier. Also, how do they have no
idea You've been complaining about this and talking to the
super and all that jazz. How do they have no idea?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Conglomerations probably who knows who owns the building?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I thought they at least had a vague awareness. The
building manager said they would get the attorney involved asap
to review their lease contract and pursue action. She asked
for all my evidence, including written communications, a personal written
account of verbal communications, audio recordings, and footage of ceiling damage.
I've been taking videos of the ceiling cracks over the
(17:24):
past few weeks to demonstrate how quickly they're growing. I
made a Google folder that divided each category, dated every
piece of evidence, and sent. I was so relieved it
felt like some form of action was finally in motion.
I assumed the building attorney was working on a case
against them over the weekend, so I ignore the relentless
(17:45):
music and jumping. They'd better be if after all of that,
they're still not working on helping you, that's just ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I mean I if it was me personally, I would
have moved.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I know, I would have been going up there their
apartment and be like, knocknoc doc doc, hey, keep it down.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Thing you said you were going to do anymore, you're
doing it right now.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah. Literally, every time I hear.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Them knocknocnoc doc doc doc doc doc doc doc dot.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Keep it down, keep it down, and they're like, oh, sorry,
we're rearranging furniture, I'd be like, I see people in
your house. This is more than four people.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
There's no universe in which you rearrange furniture constantly for
weeks at a time.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Unless I don't know. Cult of the furniture movers.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, they're part of so many cults. How do they
find the time. But today Sunday, my neighbors have been
hosting yet another gathering. Since eleven thirty am, I've been
hearing heavy bass, sporadic jumping and chatting on their patio
for going on seven and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I literally would be banging on their door. I'd be
calling the cops. I'd be banging on their door. This
is ridiculous. Yeah, well, I've continued to collect my evidence.
I decided to wait until tomorrow to check in with management.
Around five pm, I was quietly sitting on my couch
when out of nowhere, I heard the door open from above.
Someone jogged down and then pounded on my front door.
(19:07):
I didn't move a muscle. The person on the other
side waited for about a minute. I thought I heard
keys jingling, and then they slowly retreated back upstairs and
shut the door again. How honestly, I have no idea
what's going on now? Call the police, Call the police,
and there are some comments comment one says, I just
(19:30):
found your story and all of this and the dirt
rituals on the patio are making me incredibly unsettled because
if they are compassionate passing people and she helps people
with their grief while tossing dirt and an unknown substance
around that's holding water, all I can think of is ashes.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's humans, it's people, hello.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Cremated passed away people that are being tossed around and
settled under the planks to absorb water and turn into
a gri black sludge. I am genuinely afraid of whatever
kind of disturbed these people are, because clearly, with the
gas lighting, creepy smiles, and blatant lies, something is wrong here.
Op says yeah. I've also speculated that there could be
(20:15):
ashes in the plant soil. I didn't want to share
too much about the compassionate passing stuff in my main
post since I know it's a controversial topic, but the
groups that are involved in seem extreme for this realm.
My neighbor has been the credited photographer for people on
their journey to passing away. They've hosted oxygen removal parties.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What from where where are we removing this oxygen.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And one of these parties failed to achieve the end
of life goal, so they had to do it a
second time.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Are you they be ending people's life upstairs?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You can't. That's illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, next time you call the police and you say,
I think that there's uh, they're doing homicides upstairs, come quick.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Were they talking about upstairs or his friend that takes photography?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I think upstairs, na side, like the friend has has assistance.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
They've posted. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's yeah, oxygen removal party removing oxygen tubes.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Says I was assuming at a hospital, Oh, because it's like, okay,
at a hospital, that's different. I thought I thought they
were saying that they were like putting it. I do think,
to be clear, I think that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I think it's because it's like removing if it's going
oxygen tubes, because then you're gonna you're gonna pass away.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
If it's going through a hospital and you're going through
those things. Yeah, that's that's a person who's going through
that situation of not being able to you know, maybe
various different reasons why someone would choose to end their
life with assistance. So that's not like the issue here.
I thought they were saying that they were doing it
at home.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, they're putting people in a giant vase. I was like,
that's illegal, removing all oxygen.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
But it doesn't seem like that's exactly what they're doing.
Hopefully not, but yeah, if they're doing it in their apartment,
that's for sure illegal. I also think something is very wrong,
so they get the f out and move away. A
S A P. And if you're new here, there are
multiple parts to the story, so make sure to follow
us on the iHeartRadio app or Apple podcasts. See you
(22:10):
in part three, and we've got part three ready for y'all.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Oh me, oh boy, oh be oh boy. Let's get it,
get it, to get it, to get it, get get
go
I live below a cult leader and I fear I've
angered her. Part two and we got this update eleven
days later. But before we get into it, do you
have any thoughts about what OPE should do?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I think, yeah, I continue just handle it through your
landlord for now. For what you could do, I don't know.
The stuff you've discovered is weird. I would be like,
I want to move.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, I would want to live when where my ceiling
is collapsing and the people above me are threatening me.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, pretty scary. If I have the ability to move,
I'm moving.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I'm out of there. I'm saying, hey, landlord, for obvious reasons,
I don't want to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, I wonder what, like you break your lease? Like yeah,
based on that, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, I'm living. I would want to move, you know, circumstances.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
The Cult of the Dirtslodge is above me, it's untenable.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah. And then years down the line we find out
all of this stuff about the cults and OPI's like
I used to live below the Cult of the Dirt Slang. Yeah,
I was right there.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I was right there beneath them.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Update two eleven days later. Okay, Dakota last we left
off in part one, op discovered her upstairs neighbors weren't
just exercising, they were running occults. We're talking ecstatic dance groups,
mysterious dirt rituals on their patio, and contractors found actual
sludge under their deck that's making Opee's ceiling collapse.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
What is the sludge made of?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But here's the kicker. Those neighbors are also connected to
compassionate passing groups that help people in the lead up
to their passing. So the big question is what exactly
is in that dirt they're spreading around. Let's dive into
part two and find out. But first, a quick two
minute break for the sponsors keeping this show afloat and
for you guys. We're going to get into this update
(01:37):
right now. Klea says, how haunted is Opee's house.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think maybe the dirt is what's haunted. Yeah, they
just haunt the dirt.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Marry and Kim finds his weight. Since Opie already lives
under the floor, isn't she already buried, maybe they think
she's haunting them. Yeah, They're like, we can see you,
we know what you're up to. Ghost and we're gonna
cast you out with our dirt rituals. You can't stay
here anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Imagine they're trying to do like spirit transference, and they're like, yeah,
we're trying to make the spirit of the people in
our dirt like actually take over you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Oh oh, he's just a vessel.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Oh he's the sacrificial avatar.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah. Yeah, the avatart dirt avatar avatar, not the dirtvatar.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah. Eleven days later, For those who are familiar with
my unsettling neighborly encounters, I have a mix of both
terrifying and somewhat encouraging updates to share. On Monday, my
super came to replaster my bedroom ceiling. First, he said
that my neighbors told the contractors she had a lot
of plants because she makes bush medicines.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
What's that It's like medicines out that you use out
in the bush. Sure.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
She also told them that dancing is a part of
her professional practice as a healer for people who are
in bereavement after the loss of a loved one. So
my friend and I weren't far off when we made
the connection between her ecstatic dance and compassion passing. Affiliations.
I showed him new cracks in my living room ceiling
that are growing in size and number by the day.
(03:07):
He told me to send videos of the cracks to
building management, but management suggested I start with a handwritten
note by their door explaining how their behaviors are wreaking
havoc on my life. I mean, Op's already told them.
Doesn't seem like they really care.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
They got dirt, they got sludged, they got dance, they
got bush medicine.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I do think that you could potentially, I mean, I
don't know why your landlord hasn't done this already, but
usually if someone's running a business out of their apartment,
that's kind of a big no. Now, so you could
see if.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
They land probably be like, we're actually classified as a
religious following.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, they're classified as the show jump paychecks sludge.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Since the super was working in my apartment, my neighbor
was actively bumping music and jumping. I wrote a note
in which I requested she reduce the volume of her
music and be mindful of the intensity of her activities.
I explained that the jumping or dancing was causing signal
nificant new cracks in my living room ceiling, and I
offered for her to speak with me directly if needed.
(04:06):
While I was reluctant to suggest this, I knew she
might try another stocking trick if I didn't give her
the option up front, so I sent the notes. After
ninety minutes, my super said he had to leave for
an hour while the plaster dried, but he would be
back soon. Of course, my neighbor chose the end of
this timeframe to come down when I was alone.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Really know, when you're alone, it's creepy.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's really creepy.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The dirty whispering to them.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think they're just like they have their ear on
the floor and they're just keeping track of all of
Opie's movements. Or maybe they have some spy that's part
of the dirt cult that just watches ope.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yeah, h freaky.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
They bugged your house.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
They dirted your house, they turned injury.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Bugged the house. But it's real bugs, yeah the dirt,
No bugs in your house. When I opened the door,
she again had the biggest fake smile and said Hi,
then waive the note. First of all, she said, I
want to thank you for your open communication. That's so
important and so rare in our city fake flattery. She
(05:12):
admitted that she dances, which she has to do for
her mental health, but she claimed that she only dances
in the mornings for thirty to sixty minutes ninety minutes.
Max I knew she was lying, so I said that
her actions are affecting my mental health. She followed up
with a range of excuses, including that they have been
in the process of rearranging furniture and unpacking boxes. What
(05:37):
boxes are you unpacking? You've been living there for three years,
and they sometimes watch movies in the evening with their
loud speakers. I showed her the cracks that were immediately
visible from the doorway area. She pointed to one and said, see,
we used to have one table over there, but now
we have two due to the furniture rearranging. This is
so obviously, Alie.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
What are your tables me out of titanium?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So maybe that's in Maybe that's the reason we also
have cracks in our ceiling, and you know we all
have to share this space. This is such bs. These
are so obvious, like, so obviously lies. She's dancing so
hard that your ceiling's cracking, and then she's saying, oh,
the reason that you have cracks in your ceiling is
(06:21):
because of the two tables we now have. Why do
you have two tables?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
There's the two tables are made out of dark matter.
They're so heavy.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, that they're actively being pulled through the floor.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
They're breaking the actual ceiling. Yeah, she's absurd.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, I mean it's really hard to break a ceiling. Guys,
they're made to be structurally sound. There's gotta be a
whole lot of.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Your choices are in place, then it should be sturdy
and good.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, they're like we've been stacking tables up, so it
must be that.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I mean, like there are like if you do overload
a certain area. It's like my parents were redoing their
the kitchen. My mom wanted to put tile down in
the contractors like you, actually, you can't do that because
the way that the it would overload the floor and
it could collapse.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Go oh okay.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
The floor at my last apartment did break, which was
the person below me ceiling And I'm not we weren't
doing any any dance and story which weren't in dirt rituals. Man,
maybe I don't buy it, but the whole floor cracked,
Like there's something shifty about you dang crack and you
can join if you want to, So yeah, all right.
I asked her about hosting any large events in the
(07:28):
past month, which she flat out denied. She briefly mentioned
that she does fessions, but didn't elaborate further. The following
suggestion I later realized was entrapments. My neighbor said she
would give me her phone number, go upstairs, lower the volume,
then I should text her to let her know if
I could still hear it. And if you're new here,
there are multiple parts to this story, so make sure
(07:50):
to follow us on the iHeartRadio app or Apple podcasts. Okay,
let's get back into this story. Ohp, he is about
to be entrapped. Not good? Not good. Thankfully, when I
Super came back while she was in the process of
sharing her contact information, she immediately tensed up, quickly gave
the number, and scurried off. As she passed my Super,
(08:10):
she randomly blurted we're best friends now, referring to me
and her girl.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
If you don't stop, I swear, that's just literally I'm
gonna geeah, cringe, cringey.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Are there no bounds to your lies? I'd be like, oh, what, No,
we're not. My super and I are both aware of
the antics, so of course he didn't buy that manipulation tactic.
I texted her that I couldn't hear the music now,
to which she responded, so glad to hear that. Thanks
again for opening a line of communication. I'm always happy
to chat. Hope you have a lovely day. Prayer hands
(08:44):
heart emoji, hera hand's heart emoji. In retrospect, I think
she wasn't playing the music at all, probably not. I
also felt like our conversation was riddled with gaslighting, misdirection,
and flat out lies. I was somewhat confused, but I
know what I've been experiencing, and I have plenty of
evidence to prove it. Within hours of our conversation, my
(09:05):
neighbor started up the loud music and dancing as if
nothing happened. I was furious. I took new audio recordings
and immediately emailed the building management with my new evidence
footage of the ceiling cracks, along with a photo of
my note. I explained that my neighbor was kind, though
somewhat misleading, and expressed interest in accommodating my requests. I
(09:26):
also said her behaviors were continuing as normal, despite the
false claims that she would take my experiences into account.
The building manager said to keep her updated, but it
was clear she assumed the situation would be resolved on
its own. Nope, my neighbor continue with the incessant bass
in heavy music and jumping shenanigans. The next day and
the day after, I continued to document everything.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Yeah, it's all you can do it this morning if
you're building the documentation.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
If your landlord's not doing anything. On Wednesday evening, I
went out for a quick errand and again was a
victim of the stalking tricks. She ran into me as
I was entering the building, waited until I passed her
on the stairwell, and then spoke up. She acknowledged that
I've probably still been hearing her activities the past couple days,
and then I'll continue to hear them for the next
(10:15):
few days, all due to rearranging furniture.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Just that level of like delusion where you think that
someone will buy that would make me so stupid, someone
that is so just disconnected from real life that they
think that excuse.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Will be oh okay, great, Oh you're rearranging furniture for
three days. Great, and it sounds like music and jumping. Great.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I totally buy that. She said the coffee table had
been sold that day. Not true. I was working in
my living room all day and would have heard such
a commotion in the stairwell. I said, yes, I've been
hearing her loud and clear. Shortly after this in person encounter,
my neighbor went on to host a party. I heard
people in the stairwell who seem unfamiliar with whose apartment
(11:01):
they were even visiting, and one guest introduced herself as
a friend of someone else. While the music was much lower,
the group began running back and forth overhead. Hearing these
strange activities without the music was somewhat creepier than with
the music. I took more recordings than retreated to my bedroom,
but of course, the group decided to migrate to their
patio right above my head again. By ten thirty pm,
(11:25):
I had enough. They were no longer dancing, but the
group's chatter, along with ethereal music a female soprano singing vocalizations,
was too much. I sent her a text. I explained
that I understand she has every right to host guests
in her space, but I was perturbed by the way
she said to my face that any excess noise I
(11:46):
might hear in the coming days was from rearranging furniture.
I said, I could hear music and conversations very clearly
as the noise filters through my AC units. I also
said to please let me know if they will be
hosting events in the future, so I'm not caught off guards.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
All right, we are long overdue for like the direct
confrontation of like, I know you're not moving furniture.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I know, to stop telling me you're doing that. Just
whatever you're.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Doing, do it quieter. Just I don't know, I don't
care what you do. You know what I'm not here.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Just do it then, literally, or just stop it. Do
it on the ground outside. You like dirt, Go put
the dirt outside where it belongs.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, Caitlyn says, Yeah, why isn't anyone called the damn cops.
I think you need to start filing noise complaints, honestly,
because your landlord's super no one's doing anything. Yeah, we
gotta start filing those noise complaints cuz ten thirty is
after quiet hours.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I guess it's good to not be like I just
someone be like Hi, oh my god, thank you so much,
blah blah blah, and then like going right back to it.
I would not be friendly anymore. I would not entertain them.
I'd be like me and you aren't friends me and
you aren't cool. What you're doing bothers me every day
and you just tell me lies.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, you're a freaking liar.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Whatever you're up to is freaking weird. You're a freak,
and it disrupts me and my life. Yeah, and then
you're good.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Sam, here og host, we're gonna get back to these stories.
But here's three minutes fads from our sponsors. First, Wow,
my neighbor didn't respond that night. Within minutes of my
sending the message, the group began to sing the Happy
Birthday song in the most somber way I've ever heard
it sung. I was able to record the second half
of it.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Do we have that record?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
They sang it in a monotone, and there was no
clapping or cheering or any standard signs of merriment that
occur after singing the song. I'm sorry they went Happy
birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
To you, Happy Birthday to the dirt, Happy Dirday to
Happy dirt Day.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It's like they're doing a monk like the the Monk.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Oh my god, no OPI thought they were singing Birthday,
but they were singing dirt Day.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
And it's the day that they turn people into slodge
and spray them on the dark.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Aha. Terrifying. Oh eh. The following afternoon, my neighbor sent
me a wall of text in which she continued to lie.
She said that the gathering was very small, only four friends,
so it didn't even cross her mind to let me
know it when she saw me earlier. She also said
it was the first time they had hosted more than
(14:25):
two people over this entire year. Stop lying, stop it.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I just would like stop interacting with her entirely. And
at this point I would be playing like the beginning
of that the Who song where.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
It's just like a yell yeah because yeah, And then
every time she says hey, like it's a little loud,
I'd be like, I'd be like, what are you talking about.
I'm just rearranging furniture.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
There's literally no music playing. I don't know what you're
talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
She said. When she first saw my text, they lowered
the music volume and told the friends to quiet down,
so she admitted that she saw my but made no
mention of any birthday affair. As for the furniture rearranging,
she explained that it's been part of a long term
project and added more lies, like how they had just
received a dining table and bookshelf they'd been waiting on
(15:13):
for eight months. Not only would I have seen such
large packages in the stairwell, but also why share so
much irrelevant information if being truthful. Finally, my neighbors said
that they will be hosting two more events next week,
another small gathering of four friends next Wednesday in honor
of her partner's birthday, and a larger gathering on Friday,
(15:35):
again for his birthday. There are all of the things
are for his birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Actually we have multiple birthdays, like I said.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
She made no mention of singing Happy Birthday of the
night before. Who would host three birthday parties over two weeks?
It was all false. She followed up five minutes later
with a second text that explained she was late to
respond because she's been in back to back sessions, so
I find had written evidence of her talking about these sessions.
(16:03):
I didn't respond to the text. I refuse to engage
her or her partner any further. They continued to play
music and stomp around that evening, but I had my
boyfriend and friend who heard everything and validated me that
all of this is absolutely maddening. On Friday, I finally
called my building manager to explain everything. She needed to
(16:24):
understand that something very strange and potentially dangerous is going
on above me. Thankfully, I was finally believed. Good. I mean,
it's ridiculous that they haven't done anything about this after
all of the times that you complained.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, took them long enough, took.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Them too long. Thankfully, I was finally believed. It turns
out my building had no idea that she was running
some form of business and hosting group events, which is illegal.
I said that earlier. Also, how do they have no
idea You've been complaining about this and talking to the
super and all that jazz. How do they have no idea?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Conglomerations probably who knows who owns the building?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I thought they at least had a vague awareness. The
building manager said they would get the attorney involved asap
to review their lease contract and pursue action. She asked
for all my evidence, including written communications, a personal written
account of verbal communications, audio recordings, and footage of ceiling damage.
I've been taking videos of the ceiling cracks over the
(17:24):
past few weeks to demonstrate how quickly they're growing. I
made a Google folder that divided each category, dated every
piece of evidence, and sent. I was so relieved it
felt like some form of action was finally in motion.
I assumed the building attorney was working on a case
against them over the weekend, so I ignore the relentless
(17:45):
music and jumping. They'd better be if after all of that,
they're still not working on helping you, that's just ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I mean I if it was me personally, I would
have moved.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I know, I would have been going up there their
apartment and be like, knocknoc doc doc, hey, keep it down.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Thing you said you were going to do anymore, you're
doing it right now.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah. Literally, every time I hear.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Them knocknocnoc doc doc doc doc doc doc doc dot.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Keep it down, keep it down, and they're like, oh, sorry,
we're rearranging furniture, I'd be like, I see people in
your house. This is more than four people.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
There's no universe in which you rearrange furniture constantly for
weeks at a time.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Unless I don't know. Cult of the furniture movers.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, they're part of so many cults. How do they
find the time. But today Sunday, my neighbors have been
hosting yet another gathering. Since eleven thirty am, I've been
hearing heavy bass, sporadic jumping and chatting on their patio
for going on seven and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I literally would be banging on their door. I'd be
calling the cops. I'd be banging on their door. This
is ridiculous. Yeah, well, I've continued to collect my evidence.
I decided to wait until tomorrow to check in with management.
Around five pm, I was quietly sitting on my couch
when out of nowhere, I heard the door open from above.
Someone jogged down and then pounded on my front door.
(19:07):
I didn't move a muscle. The person on the other
side waited for about a minute. I thought I heard
keys jingling, and then they slowly retreated back upstairs and
shut the door again. How honestly, I have no idea
what's going on now? Call the police, Call the police,
and there are some comments comment one says, I just
(19:30):
found your story and all of this and the dirt
rituals on the patio are making me incredibly unsettled because
if they are compassionate passing people and she helps people
with their grief while tossing dirt and an unknown substance
around that's holding water, all I can think of is ashes.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's humans, it's people, hello.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Cremated passed away people that are being tossed around and
settled under the planks to absorb water and turn into
a gri black sludge. I am genuinely afraid of whatever
kind of disturbed these people are, because clearly, with the
gas lighting, creepy smiles, and blatant lies, something is wrong here.
Op says yeah. I've also speculated that there could be
(20:15):
ashes in the plant soil. I didn't want to share
too much about the compassionate passing stuff in my main
post since I know it's a controversial topic, but the
groups that are involved in seem extreme for this realm.
My neighbor has been the credited photographer for people on
their journey to passing away. They've hosted oxygen removal parties.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What from where where are we removing this oxygen.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
And one of these parties failed to achieve the end
of life goal, so they had to do it a
second time.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Are you they be ending people's life upstairs?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You can't. That's illegal.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, next time you call the police and you say,
I think that there's uh, they're doing homicides upstairs, come quick.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Were they talking about upstairs or his friend that takes photography?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I think upstairs, na side, like the friend has has assistance.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
They've posted. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's yeah, oxygen removal party removing oxygen tubes.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Says I was assuming at a hospital, Oh, because it's like, okay,
at a hospital, that's different. I thought I thought they
were saying that they were like putting it. I do think,
to be clear, I think that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I think it's because it's like removing if it's going
oxygen tubes, because then you're gonna you're gonna pass away.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
If it's going through a hospital and you're going through
those things. Yeah, that's that's a person who's going through
that situation of not being able to you know, maybe
various different reasons why someone would choose to end their
life with assistance. So that's not like the issue here.
I thought they were saying that they were doing it
at home.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, they're putting people in a giant vase. I was like,
that's illegal, removing all oxygen.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
But it doesn't seem like that's exactly what they're doing.
Hopefully not, but yeah, if they're doing it in their apartment,
that's for sure illegal. I also think something is very wrong,
so they get the f out and move away. A
