Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have got some ghost stories for you. I'm hearing
these voices, but there's nobody else around. I don't like
the skeleton man. He's so mean to me, and he
bites me at night.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And suddenly this stool, completely of its own volition, slid
good to maybe three feet out into the center of
the bar. He walks towards the ocean and he gets
through the water.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
He just disappeared. I feel someone run their hand under
my butcheet just sliding under my butt.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
So that is my ghost story.

Podcast at gmail dot com. I'm heading to Boston a
kip cod yeah, so hopefully we're going to find some
spooky stuff out there. Oh and I got a ghost
story from a bar the other day before I forget
(01:56):
in wood lounge next to the end with theater. You
okay here, No, it's like a thousand years old. It's
really cool. They renovated it, but I think they renovated
it in the nineties. Yeah, so it does not feel
updated at all. So we got drinks there the other
day and I was watching the movie through a window
and a woman came over and.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Was like, stop that, you can't watch the movie. I said,
is this place haunted?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And she was like, oh yeah. She started telling me
ghost stories.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Awesome. She said there's.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
One dude who just walks around the theater and they
mainly just hear him stomping around upstairs when nobody's up there.
But she did say she was at the popcorn thing,
you know, the counter. Yeah, and session stand thank you,
that's the word for it. And she looked through the
glass and she could see feet standing there, but when
she looked up, there was nobody there. There was just
(02:43):
the feet down there. Isn't that amazing? Yeah. So if
you're in Dallas, that's the Inwood lounge next to the
Inn with theater and it definitely feels haunted.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh I love the theater too, It's so cool.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Yes, that's where I saw the Blair Witch Project the
very first time.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:56):

while you're there, send them our away. Yeah all right,
let's get into some ghosties. Yes, okay, this one comes
from Alexia. Hello, ladies, I know you prefer first hand stories,
but this one popped into my head today while listening
to you. It happened around nineteen ninety, so sorry, no video.
(03:20):
A friend of the family I worked for passed away unexpectedly.
He was one of those super inquisitive people who had
to research whenever he learned something new. Well, at the
end of his service, everyone released a balloon as a
way to celebrate him, and as they went up, they
formed a question mark. They decided it was him telling
them that he was okay and happy to be learning
(03:41):
something new.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Much love, Alexia. Oh that's awesome. That's really sweet. That
is sweet. I love that.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
We also got this one from Marisella. I live in Houston,
but I work for a popular grocery chain whose headquarters
are in San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Who could that be? I'm many thinks I know, maybe cheap?
So the butt? Oh you think so? Is that with
theg butt?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
My god, you didn't know that. I knew that, but
I forgot it until you said it.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Oh, really like we used to go to butt camp
when I was a kid. That's what we always called it,
having no idea that it was like the ag butt of.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Agb Wait was it really called butt camp?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
No, it was called ag butt Camp. We called it
butt camp because it was named after him.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh, there's so many jokes there.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, Okay, church camp too, So do with it what
you will. Okay, backing slowly away from that one. All right,
So back to Marisela. In August of twenty twenty three,
I had been in San Antonio for a conference or
work conference, and was.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
About to head home.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
My plan was to head straight down IT ten after
stopping at a popular bakery known for Mexican sweetbreads. So
I set my navigator to my home address in Houston.
While sitting in the parking lot of the bakery. It
said my travel time would be four hours and fifteen minutes.
I remember that the current time was one twenty one
because I I texted my husband that I would be
home around six pm. I left the bakery and had
(05:04):
to get on the four to ten loop to get
to E ten, but there was lots of construction, and
the lanes were down to two, very narrow. At some point,
while driving along an elevated portion of the loop, I
passed three eighteen wheelers with solid white trailers, no company
logos or advertising. All three were in the same lane,
following one another. Then the first two accelerated and boxed.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Me in oooh. One in front of me, one right.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Next to me on my left, and one behind me
right on my ass. He had a very dark tented windshield,
so I couldn't make out the driver at all. I
wasn't scared, just annoyed and trying to keep up with
the flow of traffic. That would be so scary too,
because you're like right next.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
To that, Yeah, I would be whitealling. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So the trucks finally sped up and exited, and I
made my way onto E ten. Everything looked strange, though
navigation still showed I was going east, but nothing looked
familiar and there were hardly any cars on the road.
I found an exit and pulled over to check my
netnavigation and really just collect myself. When I updated my location,
I realized I was in Sagene, Texas and it was
(06:07):
six fifty six pm. Shut up, I should have been
home like an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Then, as if I had just taken my phone off
airplane mode, all these text alerts from my dad and
husband started pouring in.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
They were freaking out. Of course.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I called my husband to let him know and told
him everything. I just couldn't make sense of it. In
all honesty, I can only say that from the time
I got out of the boxed in formation with the
eighteen wheelers to the time I pulled into the grocery
store parking lot felt like twenty minutes had gone bow.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, that's why. Isn't that crazy? What was in those trailers?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I don't know what, secret government something like major time disappear.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yes, oh that's crazy. Yeah, I told you that's the
time slip truck. Yes. Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
By the way, if you like stories like this, there's
a page on Facebook called Matrix Mysteries.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Oh my gosh, why am I not following? Oh my god,
I go follow They have the best stories.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We're really into these like jumping timeline things, yeah, which like.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Why do I remember it this way?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
But it's actually like this, And I'm always like, because
you're forgetful and you're just remembering shit wrong. They had
this whole debate about sex and the city.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
What about it? Is it sex in the city or
sex and the city.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It's sex in the city, right, I think it's sex
and the city.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Really Yeah, Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Notice how I'm saying it where it could be either
one though that's.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
True, because they're not. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Wait, I've got a weirdness story to tell. I don't
know that this is necessarily a glitch in the matrix.
But so, you know, we're sending out graduation announcements for
my daughter U and you know, it's really great because
sometimes people will get them and then send her money.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, I was a little gift or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
So yesterday I got the mail and in the mail
was a congratulations card from a friend of ours. But
in the same stack was the graduation announcement that I
had sent to him. So it had a stamp on
it and the correct address everything, but there was no
like post office stamp, like it had gone through the
post office. It was just that envelope. How weird that
(08:08):
went out with like thirty forty other letters announcements, right,
So I have no idea why that particular one was
in my mailbox, And I know everybody else got their announcements, right,
but along with his card.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah that's that's creepy.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Is it that weir?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Okay, sorry, just had to shit. I will count that
I do too. Maybe just weird shit? Okay, that works
one or the others, all right. This next one comes
from Kayley. This happened about a year ago. I was
home alone and seven months pregnant, which meant everything hurt,
nothing fit, and my bladder had a busier schedule than
I did.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Can I tell you when I hear stuff like that,
it just makes me so happy to not be pregnant, right,
I was.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Gonna say, it is all that trauma come up? Yes,
all right?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
So when I woke up to something cold and wet
hitting me square in the forehead, My first thought wasn't ghost,
It was did my water just break onto my face?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That would be interesting, would I don't know how it
would get up that high.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
No.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I sat up fast, blinking in the dark and wiping
my forehead with the back of my hand YEP, definitely wet.
I looked up at the ceiling, but nothing, no leak,
no stain, just a ceiling being rude and unhelpful.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
I sat there and confused silence for a moment, then
reached for my phone.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It was three am, of.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Course, yes, the universal time for weird vaguely supernatural nonsense.
I turned on the lamp and did a scan. No
water glass knocked over, no window open, no mystery puddle,
and most importantly, no ghost floating over my bed, which
felt like a wind.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And if there was, would it be like peeing on you?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I did not even think about a ghost pee situation,
but that that could have been because.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It would just go right through them, right, Yeah, i'
what if?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
As a boy ghost in the little shaky, a little shake,
I see it?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Still something felt off.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I checked my house, room by room in a sweatshirt
too is too small, looking like a confused turtle. Oh,
bless you, bless you. Nothing still dry. I waddled back
to bed and laid down, trying to shake the feeling.
Then it happened again, pip, same spot center of my forehead,
cold as ice.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I didn't even scream.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I just sat up slowly, and that's when I saw it,
A single wet fingerprint on the blanket beside me.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
What that's creepy, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
I stared at it for a long second, then looked
up at the ceiling again.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I said to absolutely no one, do you mind? I'm
growing a human.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I don't need a ghost internship right now, Frank sister,
you don't no answer, of course, just me pregnant, alone
and apparently being haunted by a passive, aggressive ghost with
a water fetish water sports. The next day, I walked
through every room of the house and prayed out loud.
I didn't know what I was dealing with, but I
knew I wasn't going to deal with it again. Nothing
(10:55):
has happened since, but I still think about it. I'm
curious to know if anything like this has happened to
anyone else. Thanks ladies, Kayleie from Bumped, Egypt, Pennsylvania, signing.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Out, Oh thank you. Great story.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That is a great story written whole Yes, written so
well too, so she asked for it. Anybody else had
a situation like this the one.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Fingerprint that's the creepy part.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, and I do feel like we've had this before,
like the random drop of water.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, or maybe I'm thinking about Hillhouse.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I remember that happening in Hill but yeah, let us
know haunted ay of podcast at gmail dot com if
you've ever had something similar happen. So we have a
short and sweet, spooky news this week, mainly because it's
old news. I'm sure everybody has seen the TikTok of
the Annabelle doll being loaded into the West Virginia State
in a tentry. Yeah, recently, and if you saw it,
you probably send the video to us because we got it.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
So many times.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
But yes, Annabelle is on a Devil's on the Run
tour that's apparently hitting lots of haunted locations like the
West Virginia State Pen. That place is not actually a
prison anymore, it's crossed down. It's a museum. So they
were in San Antonio last weekend, Victoria's Black Swan in
and they're heading to Gettysburg on July eleventh.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
So I don't know why they.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Aren't hitting more places, because it's like, if you have
the Annabelle doll out on the street, why wouldn't you
just go everywhere you should?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I mean, if you're already going to take it out
and you're going to risk people driving with her right back,
like go all out.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Wellbay does.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
She was allegedly not supposed to leave the Warren's basement,
like Ed and Lorraine were like, no, she stays right here,
so it's interesting that they're just taking her out.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It's the New England Society for Psychic Research. They're the
people behind this who are founded by Ed Anne Lorraine Warren. Okay,
it's run by their daughter Judy and her husband Tony,
so still in the family.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Sounds like they might need a little cash. That's exactly
what I'm thinking. So we know it's haunted. Mom and
Dad said no, but we're gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Right, So yeah, it looks like they're not doing another
one until July in Gettysburg. So maybe if you have
like a haunted location and you need a little cash,
hit them up. What happens and then let us know. So, okay, Rebecca,
would you go see the Annabel Doll.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
It's funny because I said let's go, yeah, and you
are immediately.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Like, no, I don't need any more bad juju in
my wife right now. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
And I'm like now that you say that, I'm like
me either, Yeah, No, I kind of.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Don't want to go, And I feel like you and
I have been scraping this shit off of us, like
a staging is not enough. We need to go roll
in salt poling water.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I don't know. I am not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Twenty twenty five has absolutely been the worst year for me.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, in life, like absolutely the worst.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
And again I was all gung ho, like yes, let's go,
when are we going? And then you said no, I
don't need any bad juju.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And I was like, you know what either about it?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I was like, I honestly think is it something still
left over from our Miniola trip?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
I literally am like, why does stuff keep happening?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I really, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
It is so funny because I know you and I
have always been the let's go it's haunted, Yes, go
in there, let's poke it with.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
A stick and see what happens. Not na, No, I
mean I don't. I don't know what happened to us
in Niola. But it ain't right. It ain't right.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
No, And I agree it's especially twenty twenty five. I'm like,
I get way too much precarious shit balancing right now.
It's like, no, no, No, last thing we need is Annabelle.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
So from James, who we've actually gotten several stories from him,
over the years.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Okay, so James, just to give you some context the
story we got years ago where the guy was taking
a walk and you could hear the rocks crunching under
his feet.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I remember him because he was like, I'm sorry you
lost your job. Yes, me too, James is amazing. We
love Chase. Yes, all right.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
He says, this is something that happened when I was
a junior in high school, and it's one hundred percent true.
I was very busy with the drama club in high school.
We had just finished a place, so of course we
had a closing night party. It was getting late and
we were all about ready to head home when the
girl who threw the party pulled out a wee gee board.
We were typical dumb kids and had no idea what
(14:56):
we were potentially dealing with, so we all sat around
with a finger on the plant. I believe there were
six of us participating. We'd played around for a bit,
asking stupid questions and getting stupid answers. When one of
us asked if there was a spirit there, The plan
Chet quickly went to yes. The next question was how
did you die? The plan Chet spun around the board
(15:17):
with all of our fingers on it and spelled out,
ask Liz, she knows EO. My girlfriend pulled her finger
off the plan chet and slid across the floor, getting
as far away from the board as she could. She said,
I don't want to play anymore, so.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Of course we stopped. After a while.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
She calmed down enough to tell us that when she
was a little girl, she was at a playground and
there was a bad accident.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That killed a little girl there. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
The party wound down quickly after that, and I drove
Liz home. I'm pretty sure the board got thrown away
the next day. While I've had several unexplainable experiences over
the years, this was by far the spookiest.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Have a good summer, guys. I'll be there when you
come back in the fall. James, Oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
We hear these incredible wee chi board stories like this. Yeah,
you know, and then when you and I tried to
use it in that haunted barre, nothing nothing. It was
like we might as well have been doing it on
a monopoly board.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Maybe it's because we weren't well did we use our
real fingers?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Remember how we had those little toys on our fingers
so that we didn't actually have to touch it.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Do you think that's it? No, at some point we did.
We got so serious.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
We did try to really move like we were trying
to make it happen, and then some of our listeners
were there. They tried and nobody.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Could get anything to happen.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
So Rebecca has been making appearances on another podcast recently.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
You're cheating on I know, I'm sorry. I feel a
little bad about it. They do pay me, though, Oh
that's good. I'm just kidding. It's not a lot. Every
little bit counts. Yeah, it's the Treehouse Podcast.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
They're all former radio Dallas radio people and we've all
cross paths a million times.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
You know who all of them are. But I met
Raj Sharma.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
He's a comedian and he is also hosting on the
podcast with Dana Malley and I don't even know how
we got into talking about ghost but Raj has like
a million ghost stories. So I was like, bro, you
have got to come on hont ad af and tell
all of these to Julie because they're so amazing.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I have to tell this.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Really funny story when we were recording the Treehouse Podcast.
This is how I found out that Raj has all
these ghost stories because he actually lived in a haunted
house when he was going to college. But he's in
the middle of telling a story and it stupid me.
Dan is pressing buttons on the other side, and he's
pressing like a door opening and closing. Oh, he's doing
like sound effects, doing sound effects right in the middle
(17:31):
of his story.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
And I literally was like, oh my gosh, there's a
ghost right now.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Not even kidding here.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Fell for it hook line and sinker, and then I
was like, oh, damn it.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
So this doesn't surprise me at all because Rebecca is
super gullible. She will send me tiktoks and reels all
the time. She's like, oh my god, look at this.
And the second you look in the comments, it's already
like debunked, right, you know. Or you'll even like see
the string, but she'll see and get so excited and
just like send it.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
I just really love the idea of something spooky happening,
and I get real jazzed about it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
And then twenty minutes later I dig through the comments
and I'm like, oh, yeah, you just want to believe
I do.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
I just want to have that initial belief. So when
the doors were opening and closing.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I got fair, Oh j I was gonna say, there's
people in those comments that do it to debunk your experience.
They don't believe. Yeah, so they're like, no, it's not true.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Of course.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
We posted one just the other day that it says
in the end that it's a cat in the dresser
pushing the drawers out, and people are like, it's fake,
it's a I like, it literally has a picture of
that at the end, and they're just like, they don't
even wait for the end to get in and shit
all over it. They're so excited to come in and
yell at everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I'm definitely guilty of that. You're not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
That's when I would That's when I would comment back,
like you see a cat.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Response stealing that, definitely stealing that.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Okay, So back to all of your ghosty experiences, because
you have a million of them.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
You lived in Fisher House. Is that what it was called.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It was called Fisher Hall. It was a pike house
at Texas State Southwest when I went there, but it
was built in nineteen oh six. It was a boys
dormitory for the military school that was next door. When
the military school next door shut down, it became the
first gymnasium for Southwest Teachers College, so it's where the
girls played basketball. Because the house was thirty two thousand
square feet, three stories on four acres of land. And
(19:27):
when that shut down, a plantation style home in the
historic district, which is hilarious, right, I mean, we paid
in the mayor's lawn. I can't tell you how many times,
Like there was a sign like please don't pee in
my lawn.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Your house, not even the dogs.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It's like no, I mean he was kind of like
if you went to the end of the driveway, he
was catty corner. And our fire marshal capacity for that
house every year, the fire marshal would come in and
post the fire marshall capacity was eight hundred and forty
seven people inside the house. That's not even including the land.
We had four acres of land, so we had we
had parties that had eleven hundred and twelve hundred people.
We made nice by cleaning up the street, like we
(20:05):
adopted the street. And it wasn't like we were cleaning
up like volunteering. We were just cleaning up our own mess.
But you're just made for a really good photo op.
So when the Gymnasium closed down, it became a mental institution.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
It's likerse Yeah, yeah, they're going through the check.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, I'll tell. And then after that it became an
Army Navy veterans hospital and we had a morgue in
the basement we had to put up. So my room
on the second floor, which is room two oh six.
Two six is like an angel number that's been following me,
and I'll get into that in a second. But in
room two o six, it was this weird like area
of my room where there was like a sunken in
part where I put my fridge in like my storage shelves.
(20:41):
But that was the entrance for the doctor's office. And
the reason we had a shower is because there were
floor drains because that was the operating room. So when
the blood would spill out and you would see, like
if you look at the pictures of the house, like
you can see the stairs go up and there's like
an arch where you can bring in the hearse.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Do you have pictures of this place?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I can try to send you some. I don't it
burned out like when it burned when the house burned down.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, two meth heads, one can of gas and some
matches and that house burned out. It made CNN the
largest fraternity house in Texas, fifth largest in the country.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
We got to look all this up. This is amazing.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And so the first time when I got invited to Rush,
I remember pulling up to the house and we had
this giant light that would shine on the house. It
had gone out the day before, and so one of
the you know, one of the actives just went to
home depot and got the first ball they saw and
it was green. They didn't realize it, and the brick
was yellow. So when you put that green on that yellow,
it was just this minute. Like I pulled into the
(21:36):
drive It's a gravel driveway and I'm Indian. This is
the whitest fraternity on campus. And I just remember pulling
into the driveway and go, ah, you know, we're going
to be the first to die.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think one time they were hazing a pledge back
in the eighties and they locked them in the morgue.
That's why we had to put the air conditioning units
in front of the morgue so you can't get into it.
But They just put him in one of the slabs
and shut the door, and it was he was only
in there for like fifteen minutes, but he had been
in there for three days. And he went like he
lost his mind. He had to leave school and come
back to the next semester.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I remember when I was a pledge at my job
was a So I have two weird things that I
love to do. I love to vacuum and I love
to iron, Like that's my zen.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Cool, let's get married.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
I was going to say, we need to get married
because I hate Yeah, I don't do like.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I can iron all day long. Put forensic finals on.
Give me an iron with with some steam. Oh that
is heaven to me. Uh. And then vacuuming I love.
And so my job as a pledge was to vacuum
the entire house.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Are you married? No, because people are going to be
hitting us after this. You're going to be like, will
find you with this man?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah. I don't do dishes though, because the texture is weird.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I have no problem with that one. So okay, so
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, So my job was to vacuum the whole house
and FRA turning president at the time. It's guy named
Jeff and a buddy of mine, Romio, were outside on
the balcony smoke and cigars, having a glass of whiskey.
And I went back to stairs and I'm vacuuming and
they just come running down the stairs and Jeff is
ghost white. I asked me. I was like, yo, man,
what happened? Like? What's going on? Is everything okay? He's like, dude,
we were out on the balcony and from the brick
(23:12):
like a Civil War soldier popped out, sees them and
pops back in. What right? Till this day? And I've
gone to alumni golf tournaments till this day. I'll ask Jeff,
I go, what happened that night? You go? Good to
see a rash? Give me a bugging walk off?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Never will talk, doesn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
And this is nineteen ninety six, it was almost thirty
years and he won't talk about it.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
So is this on the ground floor or were you up?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It's on the second floor balcony. Like we couldn't air
rate the lawn because of how many stillborn babies were
buried out there, how many limbs were buried out there?
How many? Yeah? So you have these fantastic, eerie ghost moments.
And I've been seeing ghost since I was a kid,
Like that wasn't anything new to me. So I was
fascinated more than I was terrified, and I would get
annoy And I was telling Rebecca this, like my my
(23:57):
TV without fail would turn on every and everyone was
I do was it on a timer? No, I don't
know how to use that. Like, I'm not that nineties.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
We didn't have technology like that in the nineties.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, they had like the sleep timer or whatever on
the TV. I remember it being there. I'm like, I'm Indian,
but I'm not like technologically Indian. And every day that
TV would pop on at four o'clock in the morning,
and I was studying for midterms, and I was cramming,
and I had mid term at eight o'clock for political science,
and I just laid down to sleep, and like I
got four hours before I have to be in class,
and the TV popped on and I always slept with
(24:32):
my side lamp on because it was felt like somebody
was staring at you constantly, and I just go, seriously,
please turn the TV off. I have to be in
class in four hours. And it turned red off.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Ah, dang, was there a specific show that was turning on?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, it was snow. I mean if you remember that,
TV would yeah, TV would turn off at yeah, and
it was just snow. I never thought about because I
didn't know that like the white noise theory back then,
So I didn't think to communicate to the snow even
if I would, like, I don't know what I would say,
and I don't know how freaked out I would be
by the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
True, what's the what's the white noise theory.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
That you can you can communicate with spirits through white noise?
There's a I think Michael Keaton has a movie called
I Remember That.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
But I never saw it.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Really, Yes, I love that movie that I think that
might have been where I kind of got into like
the spooky stuff was your trigger?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, I guess I was going to ask you guys, like,
how did you get into like the haunted stuff? Like
this stuff has been with me since I was a kid.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Same, Yeah, I don't know since I was a kid.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
But like we've definitely both had our own experiences.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We had a little girl that would run up and
down the hall. Yeah, you would hear just some of
these little bitty footsteps in this girl giggle. Oh god, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Especially giggling like that does not belong.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, we had a sometimes and I joke about it
on stage, but sometimes white people out white themselves, and
like there was, uh they do. There was one night
we're like one of our fraternity brothers like brought a
weichi board no into one of the rooms and I'm like, no,
you're messing out. You're messing with some shit you shouldn't
mess with, right, And so I got up and left
and it was a room that was empty. Whoever was
(26:06):
in there before had left some stuff, but there was
a crucifix on the wall. They're doing their thing and
they think it's hilarious, and at one point an empty
gatorade bottle flew across the room.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, and I was like, at that point, we burned
the house down and we find other places to live, yes, exactly.
And when they turned on the light, the crucifix was
upside down.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
No, no, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah. I mean I was brought in to see that part,
So I mean I didn't witness that happen, but the
things that I did see, But I told you, we
had four acres of land, so we would do like
barbecues and crawfish boils. And we had a bunch of
alumni in town and I'm just talking to one of them,
you know, we're trying to smooth them, trying to get
some money out of them, and my eye just catches
the second floor and there's a guy in a bathrobe
with curly white hair smoking a cigar. And I just
kind of glanced back and there's nobody there. And the
(26:50):
alumni that was standing in front of me goes, oh,
what happened to you? Okay? I go no, I go,
that's the weirdest thing. I could have just sworn I
saw somebody in that window. And he goes, bathrobe, curly hair,
smoking a cigar, and I go, yeah. He goes, oh
you saw the cigar smoking man. I was like what.
He goes, Yeah, it's a thing. It's been going on
since the sixties. And I go, you gotta be bullshitting me,
and he's like, come with me. So we go to
the second floor and he go he knows exactly where
he's going. It's that room, yeah. And he opens it
(27:11):
up and it's a storage room like old furniture from
people that have moved out is crammed in so you
can't even make it to the window.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Oh my gosh, so.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Look out of it. Another one there was a guy
named Mark who lived at the end of the hallway
on the second floor. Above him was we had like
a little gym like so we had a bench press
and like free weights and squatt machine whatever. And he
comes out. He's pissed. He's like, man, it's two o'clock
in the morning. People are working out. I can't sleep.
And I'm like, all right, man, let's go up there.
See what's going on. Go up there, and there's nobody
(27:40):
in the room. All the plates for the bench press
are on the ground in order. I go, Mark, if
it happens again, let me know. And it couldn't have
been thirty seconds. And he's on my door and I'm like,
what's up. He goes they're doing it again, and we
run up the stairs. When we get into the weight room,
all the weights are on the bar in order.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh good, and that's like that's some heavy lifting.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Gona be right, yeah, yeah. And he was very nonchalant
about it. He was a big stoner. He's like, dude,
I don't know what's going on? But like it's back
with VHS tapes. He's like, my VHS tapes keep flying
at me, dude, I think I'm just think I got
a bad batch of something. And I was like, no,
the sounds is gone too.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
He's too high, He's not sure.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, yeah, I'm like they just keep flying off. He's like, yeah,
I'll just be like up in the air. And I'm like,
all right, I guess they didn't like that movie. That's
a little too casual, brother, But this is one is
probably one of my favorites. Is we're having a party
and we're going over like the strategy for how we're
going to do the parking and this and that, and
everybody had those halogen lamps in college, like the little
(28:37):
black you get at a target for like nine bucks. Still,
so we're just having the meeting and Bobby keeps mouthing
stuff and I'm like, I can't read his lips. I
don't know what's going on. Finally just snapped like, what
do you want to say? Just say it out loud,
and the lamp's on. He goes, I just want to
know what this is plugged into. And he's got the
cord in his hand and then it just goes out
like slowly, and I'm like, oh, so you guys want
(28:58):
to you guys want to finish this meeting at the
Green Parrot. Let's go drink. So there's a few of
my stories.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
So yeah, I feel like next time we go somewhere
that is supposedly hot, at roj needs to come with
us because he's clearly you're clearly bringing the ghost with
you or bringing them out.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
You'll be our feel comfortable, you'll be our I see
dead people. I'm the Hailey Joel Office minus the raging
drug and alcohol addiction. Okay, I think you just got
arrested again for a d uy or something like that.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So before we before we let you go. Though, you're
touring comedian Where can people buy tickets? Where they can

Wow that sounds say.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
And then you can just go on my Instagram, which
is all my social media stuff is comedian Raj all
one word Raj, not rog. So if you want to
check me out, please do.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Thank you so much, Raj, and don't forget.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
You can hear Rebecca on It's the Tree Tree House podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
All right, before we go, we got an update from
our friend Lisa, whom we lovingly refer to as four
Pug Weekend Lisa. Her stories have been featured on our
podcast for years, so it seems fitting to end with
a message from her. Lisa says, it's me again, and
you won't believe this one. The TV switched on by
itself again. But this time it happened while I was
(30:43):
passing through the room with my laundry and listening to
Haunted As It's like you were with me when it happened.
I can one hundred percent testify under oath that the
remote was on the coffee table, undisturbed by the pugs.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Or the cat knife.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
And I don't want any smug, condescend nerds out there
to man explain how this could naturally happen because of
some obscure electronic glitch. I want to believe it's my Chris,
her deceased husband, who also turns the TV on for
the pugs. And she says, and regardless of how soft
hearted I am, I will cut anyone who ruins that
for me. Only in my imagination, of course, because ladies
(31:18):
do not spill blood. We know how hard it is
to clean. And again that's from Lisa. Oh that's great,
and I love that we've got like back to back
ghosts turning on the TV. Yes stories also from Raj
also can't figure out how that's happened.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I know, right crazy? All right, people, we out. We
are literally out. Goodbye bye. Will not be back until September.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
We will be posting on our Patreon page in July

So save the day, y'all.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
And yes, that cruise our friend Tony helping us figure
out how to get that done.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
So fingers crossed, y'all.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Yes, and love to our longtime listener Liliana, who has
dubbed the Haunted af Cruise the cruise.
Speaker 1 (32:07):

Speaker 3 (32:09):
We're stealing that also, I want to let everyone you have.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
To say it right though, cruise and booze and booze.
This is when we beg for your stories. It's vacation season.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
So at some point over the next few months, you'll
probably be sitting on a beach at night, or buy
a campfire with family and somebody will start telling a
scary story. When that happens, grab your phone and start recording.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
What's recording?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I told you, start recording, and if you forget, just
write it down for us when you get home.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
But what do we take? What do we take?
Speaker 4 (32:36):
We take ghost stories, bigfoot stories, really any kind of
monster stories, UFOs, glitches in the matrix, weird shit that
doesn't fit into any of those categories.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And of course, if you got the freaky dreams, we
love to analyze them.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Oh yeah, and we haven't had a dead petanlon time.
