Hello everyone & welcome to Haunted AF Season 11! It's great to be back & we have so much to tell you about our trip to Mineola, TX. By the way, if you're interested in our haunted rental, you can find it here and have a look at the Ü Cafe here. Those of you who are interested in making diamonds from deceased loved ones should head here. Also, did you catch that weird sound in the middle of the episode? We thought it sounded like Siri, or something from one of our phones, but neither one showed anything that looked like a response. What do you think it was?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have got some ghost stories for you.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
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 1 (00:12):
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. He just disappeared. I feel someone run
their hand under my but cheet just stliding under my butt.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
So that is my ghost story.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Hi, and welcome to Holiday Up. The podcast are real
ghost stories told by real people. We are your hosts.
I'm Julie Fuss.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
And I'm Rebecca Bland.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Welcome to season eleven of hanted A.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
What a great new intro.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know, what really makes me happy is thinking about
anybody who listens to the podcast regularly hearing that and
being like, that's me you trow. Yes, did you realize
this season two? No season ten was two years long.
It feels like it literally was, because everything was crazy,
and so now we are finally at season eleven, fresh start.
(01:14):
We're back, baby.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Also, if you've been listening over the break, you've probably
realized that Haunted AF is running ads now good for us,
which might be a real bummer for some of you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Very sorry about that, but.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
It's been almost six years now and we've got a
hold of dig out of so you're just gonna have
to deal or press pass forward.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, sorry, girls, got to eat, you know, and listen.
You don't have to listen to the ads. Oh you
can pass forward. You can pass forward. But better yet,
if you hate them, you can become a patron. Oh
that too, and for five dollars a month you get
the episodes early and ad free. We also have our
Patreon pregames which are pretty great. We even had a
Miniola ghost chicken in today's pregame that did not disappoint
(01:53):
though no it didn't, so become a patron at patreon
dot com backslash Haunted AF. There's also years of exclude
content over there.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Speaking of Patreon, we've got to give some extra love
to our new patreons each week, like Lori Pearson who
just became an annual patron. Thank you so much. You
can save a little money if you take that route,
by the way, just saying just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
That's cheaper. Yeah, it's like fifty dollars for annual membership.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So coming up, we've got some great dead Pet of
the Week's stories. But first we need to talk about
our trip to Minniela, Texas last weekend. So this all
got started before the holidays. We shared a story about
a haunted airbnb on the town square there. The person
who owns the place is actually a listener, and she
reached out asked if we wanted to stay there, and
we said hell yes, yep.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
We had a great time on the little square. And
it turns out that Minial is packed with ghost stories,
like literally everywhere we went ghost story. It's also built
around some mineral springs like Mineral Wells, Hot Springs, Eureka Springs,
and a lot of other spooky old towns.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It makes you wonder, why are all of these old
like spring towns haunted. That's a good question something we
should look into.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, we learned a ton about the town's history from Crystal.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
She was amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
She showed us around the historic Chamber of Commerce, which
is super cool. We didn't really have any big ghosty experiences,
but something weird did happen right after we got into
our rental.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, if you follow us on social media, you've probably
already seen the video. So we got to the rental
and we found that the owner had left a goodie
bag for us and was filled with all this ghost
hunting equipment. Very cool, So we filmed a little unboxing
video and then we went out to get our luggage.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Now, when we came back in, all of it had
been knocked onto the floor, along with a little welcome
sign that Tory had made for us.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So it seemed pretty.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Clear that the little sign fell over and knocked everything
onto the floor. But the question is was it pushed
That stuff had been sitting there for an entire day.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yes, and Tory had said that sometimes that happens in
the past. Maybe it's just you know, prone to falling over.
But here's the other thing that happened in the big
question I have. When Rebecca and I very first walked in,
we heard something fall upstairs.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
We did.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
We both heard it. We joked about it, like, oh,
she knows we're here. Because the emailed story talked about
a ghost lady in the living room of the rental.
So we got upstairs looked around. Everything was in place, everything.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
And I mean like we were scoping the whole place
out just to double check. Yeah, everything was still fine.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah thing. Nothing actually happened though until we came back in.
So when you think about it, we heard something fall over.
Everything was fine. Then we came back in with our
luggage and something had fallen over. Yeah, kind of creepy.
That's kind of creepy. That's like a glitch in the matrix,
kind of slift type place.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Right are what do they call them? The timelines? All
the timelines were a little yeah, a little off, little
wonky at the exactly. But whatever happened, it was the
only weirdness we really experienced that weekend. And the rental
was totally fine and comfortable. I think we both.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Slept great, Yeah we did.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
We will post a link to it in the show
notes so that you can stay there. It's all gonna
be at holiday gift dot com. And if you do,
go see Aubrey at VAL's Italian restaurant because she is adorable.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
She was our waitress. Was it Aubrey or Audrey?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I don't know say that. I'm like, oh, was it Audrey?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, let's just col her Channing because that's it's her
middle name. Her mom always there. That mom was like,
call of Channing, she hates it. Yeah, you should also
go to the U Cafe, which is an old mansion
that's been turned into a coffee shop.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
That place was amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
This might be one of the best things we saw
on the whole trip. Yeah, we found it by accident.
You can get your coffee there and go hang out
anywhere in the house. We found it because we just
asked this guy in the street where to find coffee
and he was like, oh, yeah, go to the U Cafe.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
We did speak with the woman who owns it, and
while we were there, she said that it's haunted by
a ghost name Eli, who's pretty quiet and harmless. She
said that there used to be a speakeasy hidden between
the second and third floors of the house, which is
pretty freaking cool. It isn't there anymore, but the tiny
door they used to access it is still hidden in
the supply closet. She showed us the door and then
had to run back to work, so of course we
(05:44):
took a little peek inside.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It was so cool. I was like, there's plenty of room,
and also that u Cafe is worth a drive if
you live anywhere in East Texas. So we're going to
put all that information in the show notes, as well
as like how you can rent this place above the bar,
all of it. So, okay, enough of that, list to
the stories this week. We're gonna start this one with
Hillary's crotch Goblin.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Hey, Becks and Jules, this is Hillary from Ohio. I
found your podcast through two girls one cost and now
you're part of the paranormal peeps pose that gets me
through my work from home day. As promised, here is
my creepy crotch goblin. I have five crotch goblins, but
the youngest, Connor, he is by far the creepiest. Between
(06:24):
the ages of two to five, he had an imaginary
friend named Art he talked to and played with all
the time. I figured this is normal. One night, he
points upstairs and says, look, Mom, it's our I go
to look and I don't see anything, and I tell
him there's nobody there. Connor starts laughing and says, only
I can see him. Welmie, okay, creepy Mcreeperson. One night,
(06:45):
I'm watching Sons of Anarchy and I don't know if
you've watched that, But at the beginning of the show,
they have a Reaper logo pop up and Connor says, look, mom,
it's our Well. One day I went to give Connor
a nap and I laid down with him to get
him to and I fell asleep too, and I woke
up because I felt somebody touch my shoulder and say
how sweet. I look over and there's nobody there. We
(07:09):
moved out shortly after that. The new place that we
moved into, I didn't get any bad vibes there at first,
but then gradually I began to feel like while I
was sleeping, somebody was standing behind me and staring at me.
One night, I felt this presence behind me, and I
asked my daughter if she would come sleep in the
room with me because I was feeling kind of weird.
(07:30):
So she comes in the room. We start hearing some
noises in our front room and the dog runs into
the front room. We're trying to call him back, you know,
like Jack's come here. And when he comes into the room,
we here and I'm like, no, who is out there? Well,
we packed all our stuff up and the dog and
went to my sister's who took us the next day
(07:51):
to one of the local witch shops in town to
buy some stage went back to the apartment, stage to house,
and we didn't have any problems for a while. One day,
Connor are sitting there and he starts clapping his hands
and coincidentally, all the lights went out. Connor says, Mommy,
I did that. R taught me. How well if R
taught you how to do that, turn the lights back on.
(08:12):
He claps his hands, all the lights coming back on.
Connor turns fourteen next week and he's so creepy. Our's
been gone for a long time now, but now he
complains about Vietnam flashbacks. And I'm like, you're just kidding,
right He says, sure, Mom, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh thanks for.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All you do, love you, ladies, Bye bye, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Thank you so much. I had no idea what you
meant by crotch goblin.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I thought she meant like crotch goblin.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And I was like, what's going on? Is there an
ointment for that night?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I was like, does it burn?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And Connor, we love you. It sounds like Connor just
needs to start sending us stories.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I agree directly, Yeah, just tell us everything. You know,
you can hide it from your mom all day. This
story actually kind of goes along with a reel that
we shared over the holidays, and it actually up. The
man is talking to this little boy and trying to
calm him down because his son is insisting there's a
scary boy in the house, and he keeps pointing to
him and saying, right there, the scary boy is right there.
(09:11):
So people start telling their own stories in the comments,
like Devana, she said, my son, what was that? What
was that?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't know you heard it? Yes, yeah, it was
Holy Sarrah. It was Siri talking. I think, where'sh do
you have?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Your mind is under my butnt.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Let's check and see if it was you.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
What did he say?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I don't. I didn't hear what I said.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
All I heard was okay, I'm sort of things have
been weird since we got back yet, definitely, things have
definitely been weird. Yeah, okay, go back to my son.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Saw.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, So people start telling.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You, I can't man, I'm wigged a bit.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We got to say to each other.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
We really have to we do all right? Do you
want me to start it?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So Devauna started, okay, Yeah, So in the Facebook comments,
everybody starts saying stuff Diva.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Divanna said, my son saw the scary guy while we
were home alone and I was on the toilet. He
pointed to the room across the hall and said, there's
a scary guy. I went to check in. The light
which was previously off, was turned on, and my clock
radio was splashing the time. It freaked me the hell out.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Then Hayley said, my daughter pulled this shit on me
the other day. I taught her that as she sees
a ghost, to say go away, ghost, you're not welcome here.
And that's great. That's a really good thing to teach them.
It's better then, because the dad in that one Facebook
post is kind of gaslighting. Yes, Betty's like, there's nothing there.
There's nothing there, but it's better to say, oh, just
tell it to go away. Yeah. Fast forward about a
year and I'm sitting in the living room with my
(10:39):
daughter watching TV and she pops up out of my
lap and says, go await, ghosts, you're not welcome here
in her most assertive three year old voice. I started
saying it too, and I guess it went away. I
love that.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Then Crystal said, when my daughter was around three or four,
she had an imaginary friend whom she'd said was from
the olden days. She also said that he had died
right there and was always pointing to the same spot
on the living room floor. Oh, to this day, I
still don't know the who, what, when, where or why.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah. And then Leah said, my son refuses to sleep
in his room because he says there's a mouth on
the wall, and then it says it's going to take
him away. It was my daughter's room before that, and
she used to see a gray little girl who would
give her night terror.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
She is.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
The post was from November sixth, and seriously, the other
comments are worth checking out.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, So awake in the morning and I see my
cat and I realizy dad a few months back, and
I turned to my dead ghost dog and say, what
the fuck canna see? Hey? Hey? I said, hey, a
(11:55):
damn pet of the weed.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Thank you, Matt. That is a classic Pet of the
Week theme song.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I wish I'd had a cigarette lighter.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I know, I think of the same thing, I swear
the same thing. So we actually have two dead pat
of the Week stories this week, and we're going to
start with this one from Georgie. Greetings all the way
from Somerset in England. I'm a fairly new listener having
heard a trailer for your podcast from the Ghost Story guys.
Thank you guys. I am now hooked and catching up
on episodes while you're taking your break. I love to
(12:23):
hear your dead pat section and keep meaning to email.
We had to put our beautiful red tabby boy cat
to sleep in November of twenty twenty three. He was
fifteen and fit and healthy, so when he fell ill
very suddenly and was gone within three days, it was
too quick for us and evidently for him too. A
bit of a backstory, I have been owned by cats
for nearly thirty years. I love that and never experienced
(12:46):
one coming back until now. My husband is a skeptic,
by the way, but I have a very open mind.
Our house at the time had a lovely wooden floor
that creaked as you walked on it, and not just
heavy humans. Our gorgeous cat also made the floor creak
when walked from the kitchen to see us in the
living room. I just had to say. They always made
very distinctive sounds. They truly do. We would always hear
(13:07):
him coming, and we'd wait for him to push the
door open to see us. Without fail, his little head
would poke around the door, pushing it as he came in.
A few days after he had gone, me and my
husband were sitting watching the TV and we heard our
cat in the hallway. The floorboards creaked in time to
his steps. We held our breath waiting for the door
to open, but sadly it didn't. We heard him many
(13:28):
many times after that night, walking from the kitchen to
the living room, and we always called out to him
so he knew we were there for him. And then
it stopped and we realized he had finally moved on.
Although absolutely bereft, we were also pleased he had passed over,
as we were in the process of selling our house
and thought of leaving him behind there was too much
to bear. We've been in our new house a year
now and hope to have the sound of furry pause
(13:50):
once again. A house is not a home without them,
and my husband now is no longer a skeptic. Yay, Yay,
thank you for such a brilliant podcast, and that is
from Georgie.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Also, we got this message from Sandy Hi Julian Rebecca
just catching up and heard you talking about mourning jewelry.
I actually did this for two of my dogs. Our
dog's Nitro and Ivy, passed away in the same year,
and when we had them cremated, we had their ashes
made into memorial diamonds.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I love this. You talked about this in our final
episode of the year last year.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I love them and I wear them every day. It's
neat too, because the company sends you updates as your
diamonds are being made. It's a long process too, almost
a year.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I had no idea it took that long, I know.
So here's a picture of the rings, like, oh, look
how those are?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
The website is Saint Diamonds spelled out s ai int
Diamonds dot com. And though Sandy Hatter dogs turned into diamonds,
this same company will turn human remains into diamonds.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Well, I'm fatminan up my husband and they're really pretty.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I just don't know if I could Okay, I could
do that with a human, but I don't know if
I could wear it anywhere. What if it's like a
Harry Potter or Horcrux or something and you wear it
somewhere or you lose it falls down the sink or
somebody mugs you.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
And takes it, like, oh, that would be awful, And
think about like.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
What's gonna happen twenty years from now when we're seeing
these things at like pawn shops.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Oh, how weird would that?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Weird? Wo that?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
How sad would that be?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I hope I'm worth a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I hope I make a pretty diamond.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Well, because some of them come out like they come
out different colors, which is really interesting, Like if.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You eat garbage, it's gonna come out like brownish looking
or something.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
When you look at Sandy's with both of her dogs,
one diamond is white and the other is kind.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Of like a canary color amber.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, so I don't know. We'll put a link to
the website in the show notes. Sandy, thanks for letting
us know. That's all the time we have for this week.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
But remember, if you hate the ads, you can skip
them entirely and become a Haunted AF patron.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
In fact, please do Yeah, it's super cheap. Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
You can also follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, but
do us a favor, please be nice over there. Oh gosh,
have you noticed people who are like being me? I
think everybody's just on edge and they need something to
pick at.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah, not entirely sure.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It wasn't just bots fighting with other bots, but ye
still got a little ugly.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's kind of what I'm thinking. We had that one
video of the girl who puts the sock on her
baseball bat. Yeah, and there were a lot of dudes
coming in saying really ridiculous, like just picking fights kind
of things, And I just thought, what if these are
just burly bots fighting with each other. I like the
idea of a burly burly butt.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You have a beard, yeah, plannel, that's what I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
And as you can tell, we're back. We're back to
weekly episodes, which means we need your stories, ghost, Bigfoot,
creepy kids, Matrix glitches. Oh yeah, Beyond the Pillow is
going to return next week as well. So if you

Speaker 2 (17:10):
To haunt you, I'll come back to haunt you too.
Rebecca
I have got some ghost stories for you.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
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 1 (00:12):
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. He just disappeared. I feel someone run
their hand under my but cheet just stliding under my butt.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
So that is my ghost story.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Hi, and welcome to Holiday Up. The podcast are real
ghost stories told by real people. We are your hosts.
I'm Julie Fuss.
Speaker 4 (00:43):

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Welcome to season eleven of hanted A.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
What a great new intro.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know, what really makes me happy is thinking about
anybody who listens to the podcast regularly hearing that and
being like, that's me you trow. Yes, did you realize
this season two? No season ten was two years long.
It feels like it literally was, because everything was crazy,
and so now we are finally at season eleven, fresh start.
(01:14):
We're back, baby.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Also, if you've been listening over the break, you've probably
realized that Haunted AF is running ads now good for us,
which might be a real bummer for some of you guys.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Very sorry about that, but.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
It's been almost six years now and we've got a
hold of dig out of so you're just gonna have
to deal or press pass forward.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, sorry, girls, got to eat, you know, and listen.
You don't have to listen to the ads. Oh you
can pass forward. You can pass forward. But better yet,
if you hate them, you can become a patron. Oh
that too, and for five dollars a month you get
the episodes early and ad free. We also have our
Patreon pregames which are pretty great. We even had a
Miniola ghost chicken in today's pregame that did not disappoint
(01:53):
though no it didn't, so become a patron at patreon
dot com backslash Haunted AF. There's also years of exclude
content over there.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Speaking of Patreon, we've got to give some extra love
to our new patreons each week, like Lori Pearson who
just became an annual patron. Thank you so much. You
can save a little money if you take that route,
by the way, just saying just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
That's cheaper. Yeah, it's like fifty dollars for annual membership.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So coming up, we've got some great dead Pet of
the Week's stories. But first we need to talk about
our trip to Minniela, Texas last weekend. So this all
got started before the holidays. We shared a story about
a haunted airbnb on the town square there. The person
who owns the place is actually a listener, and she
reached out asked if we wanted to stay there, and
we said hell yes, yep.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
We had a great time on the little square. And
it turns out that Minial is packed with ghost stories,
like literally everywhere we went ghost story. It's also built
around some mineral springs like Mineral Wells, Hot Springs, Eureka Springs,
and a lot of other spooky old towns.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It makes you wonder, why are all of these old
like spring towns haunted. That's a good question something we
should look into.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, we learned a ton about the town's history from Crystal.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
She was amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
She showed us around the historic Chamber of Commerce, which
is super cool. We didn't really have any big ghosty experiences,
but something weird did happen right after we got into
our rental.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, if you follow us on social media, you've probably
already seen the video. So we got to the rental
and we found that the owner had left a goodie
bag for us and was filled with all this ghost
hunting equipment. Very cool, So we filmed a little unboxing
video and then we went out to get our luggage.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Now, when we came back in, all of it had
been knocked onto the floor, along with a little welcome
sign that Tory had made for us.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So it seemed pretty.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Clear that the little sign fell over and knocked everything
onto the floor. But the question is was it pushed
That stuff had been sitting there for an entire day.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yes, and Tory had said that sometimes that happens in
the past. Maybe it's just you know, prone to falling over.
But here's the other thing that happened in the big
question I have. When Rebecca and I very first walked in,
we heard something fall upstairs.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
We did.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
We both heard it. We joked about it, like, oh,
she knows we're here. Because the emailed story talked about
a ghost lady in the living room of the rental.
So we got upstairs looked around. Everything was in place, everything.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
And I mean like we were scoping the whole place
out just to double check. Yeah, everything was still fine.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah thing. Nothing actually happened though until we came back in.
So when you think about it, we heard something fall over.
Everything was fine. Then we came back in with our
luggage and something had fallen over. Yeah, kind of creepy.
That's kind of creepy. That's like a glitch in the matrix,
kind of slift type place.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Right are what do they call them? The timelines? All
the timelines were a little yeah, a little off, little
wonky at the exactly. But whatever happened, it was the
only weirdness we really experienced that weekend. And the rental
was totally fine and comfortable. I think we both.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Slept great, Yeah we did.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
We will post a link to it in the show
notes so that you can stay there. It's all gonna
be at holiday gift dot com. And if you do,
go see Aubrey at VAL's Italian restaurant because she is adorable.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
She was our waitress. Was it Aubrey or Audrey?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I don't know say that. I'm like, oh, was it Audrey?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, let's just col her Channing because that's it's her
middle name. Her mom always there. That mom was like,
call of Channing, she hates it. Yeah, you should also
go to the U Cafe, which is an old mansion
that's been turned into a coffee shop.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
That place was amazing.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
This might be one of the best things we saw
on the whole trip. Yeah, we found it by accident.
You can get your coffee there and go hang out
anywhere in the house. We found it because we just
asked this guy in the street where to find coffee
and he was like, oh, yeah, go to the U Cafe.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
We did speak with the woman who owns it, and
while we were there, she said that it's haunted by
a ghost name Eli, who's pretty quiet and harmless. She
said that there used to be a speakeasy hidden between
the second and third floors of the house, which is
pretty freaking cool. It isn't there anymore, but the tiny
door they used to access it is still hidden in
the supply closet. She showed us the door and then
had to run back to work, so of course we
(05:44):
took a little peek inside.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It was so cool. I was like, there's plenty of room,
and also that u Cafe is worth a drive if
you live anywhere in East Texas. So we're going to
put all that information in the show notes, as well
as like how you can rent this place above the bar,
all of it. So, okay, enough of that, list to
the stories this week. We're gonna start this one with
Hillary's crotch Goblin.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Hey, Becks and Jules, this is Hillary from Ohio. I
found your podcast through two girls one cost and now
you're part of the paranormal peeps pose that gets me
through my work from home day. As promised, here is
my creepy crotch goblin. I have five crotch goblins, but
the youngest, Connor, he is by far the creepiest. Between
(06:24):
the ages of two to five, he had an imaginary
friend named Art he talked to and played with all
the time. I figured this is normal. One night, he
points upstairs and says, look, Mom, it's our I go
to look and I don't see anything, and I tell
him there's nobody there. Connor starts laughing and says, only
I can see him. Welmie, okay, creepy Mcreeperson. One night,
(06:45):
I'm watching Sons of Anarchy and I don't know if
you've watched that, But at the beginning of the show,
they have a Reaper logo pop up and Connor says, look, mom,
it's our Well. One day I went to give Connor
a nap and I laid down with him to get
him to and I fell asleep too, and I woke
up because I felt somebody touch my shoulder and say
how sweet. I look over and there's nobody there. We
(07:09):
moved out shortly after that. The new place that we
moved into, I didn't get any bad vibes there at first,
but then gradually I began to feel like while I
was sleeping, somebody was standing behind me and staring at me.
One night, I felt this presence behind me, and I
asked my daughter if she would come sleep in the
room with me because I was feeling kind of weird.
(07:30):
So she comes in the room. We start hearing some
noises in our front room and the dog runs into
the front room. We're trying to call him back, you know,
like Jack's come here. And when he comes into the room,
we here and I'm like, no, who is out there? Well,
we packed all our stuff up and the dog and
went to my sister's who took us the next day
(07:51):
to one of the local witch shops in town to
buy some stage went back to the apartment, stage to house,
and we didn't have any problems for a while. One day,
Connor are sitting there and he starts clapping his hands
and coincidentally, all the lights went out. Connor says, Mommy,
I did that. R taught me. How well if R
taught you how to do that, turn the lights back on.
(08:12):
He claps his hands, all the lights coming back on.
Connor turns fourteen next week and he's so creepy. Our's
been gone for a long time now, but now he
complains about Vietnam flashbacks. And I'm like, you're just kidding,
right He says, sure, Mom, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh thanks for.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All you do, love you, ladies, Bye bye, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Thank you so much. I had no idea what you
meant by crotch goblin.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I thought she meant like crotch goblin.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And I was like, what's going on? Is there an
ointment for that night?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I was like, does it burn?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And Connor, we love you. It sounds like Connor just
needs to start sending us stories.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I agree directly, Yeah, just tell us everything. You know,
you can hide it from your mom all day. This
story actually kind of goes along with a reel that
we shared over the holidays, and it actually up. The
man is talking to this little boy and trying to
calm him down because his son is insisting there's a
scary boy in the house, and he keeps pointing to
him and saying, right there, the scary boy is right there.
(09:11):
So people start telling their own stories in the comments,
like Devana, she said, my son, what was that? What
was that?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't know you heard it? Yes, yeah, it was
Holy Sarrah. It was Siri talking. I think, where'sh do
you have?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Your mind is under my butnt.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Let's check and see if it was you.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
What did he say?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
I don't. I didn't hear what I said.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
All I heard was okay, I'm sort of things have
been weird since we got back yet, definitely, things have
definitely been weird. Yeah, okay, go back to my son.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Saw.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, So people start telling.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You, I can't man, I'm wigged a bit.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
We got to say to each other.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
We really have to we do all right? Do you
want me to start it?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So Devauna started, okay, Yeah, So in the Facebook comments,
everybody starts saying stuff Diva.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Divanna said, my son saw the scary guy while we
were home alone and I was on the toilet. He
pointed to the room across the hall and said, there's
a scary guy. I went to check in. The light
which was previously off, was turned on, and my clock
radio was splashing the time. It freaked me the hell out.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Then Hayley said, my daughter pulled this shit on me
the other day. I taught her that as she sees
a ghost, to say go away, ghost, you're not welcome here.
And that's great. That's a really good thing to teach them.
It's better then, because the dad in that one Facebook
post is kind of gaslighting. Yes, Betty's like, there's nothing there.
There's nothing there, but it's better to say, oh, just
tell it to go away. Yeah. Fast forward about a
year and I'm sitting in the living room with my
(10:39):
daughter watching TV and she pops up out of my
lap and says, go await, ghosts, you're not welcome here
in her most assertive three year old voice. I started
saying it too, and I guess it went away. I
love that.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Then Crystal said, when my daughter was around three or four,
she had an imaginary friend whom she'd said was from
the olden days. She also said that he had died
right there and was always pointing to the same spot
on the living room floor. Oh, to this day, I
still don't know the who, what, when, where or why.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah. And then Leah said, my son refuses to sleep
in his room because he says there's a mouth on
the wall, and then it says it's going to take
him away. It was my daughter's room before that, and
she used to see a gray little girl who would
give her night terror.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
She is.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
The post was from November sixth, and seriously, the other
comments are worth checking out.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, So awake in the morning and I see my
cat and I realizy dad a few months back, and
I turned to my dead ghost dog and say, what
the fuck canna see? Hey? Hey? I said, hey, a
(11:55):
damn pet of the weed.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Thank you, Matt. That is a classic Pet of the
Week theme song.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
I wish I'd had a cigarette lighter.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I know, I think of the same thing, I swear
the same thing. So we actually have two dead pat
of the Week stories this week, and we're going to
start with this one from Georgie. Greetings all the way
from Somerset in England. I'm a fairly new listener having
heard a trailer for your podcast from the Ghost Story guys.
Thank you guys. I am now hooked and catching up
on episodes while you're taking your break. I love to
(12:23):
hear your dead pat section and keep meaning to email.
We had to put our beautiful red tabby boy cat
to sleep in November of twenty twenty three. He was
fifteen and fit and healthy, so when he fell ill
very suddenly and was gone within three days, it was
too quick for us and evidently for him too. A
bit of a backstory, I have been owned by cats
for nearly thirty years. I love that and never experienced
(12:46):
one coming back until now. My husband is a skeptic,
by the way, but I have a very open mind.
Our house at the time had a lovely wooden floor
that creaked as you walked on it, and not just
heavy humans. Our gorgeous cat also made the floor creak
when walked from the kitchen to see us in the
living room. I just had to say. They always made
very distinctive sounds. They truly do. We would always hear
(13:07):
him coming, and we'd wait for him to push the
door open to see us. Without fail, his little head
would poke around the door, pushing it as he came in.
A few days after he had gone, me and my
husband were sitting watching the TV and we heard our
cat in the hallway. The floorboards creaked in time to
his steps. We held our breath waiting for the door
to open, but sadly it didn't. We heard him many
(13:28):
many times after that night, walking from the kitchen to
the living room, and we always called out to him
so he knew we were there for him. And then
it stopped and we realized he had finally moved on.
Although absolutely bereft, we were also pleased he had passed over,
as we were in the process of selling our house
and thought of leaving him behind there was too much
to bear. We've been in our new house a year
now and hope to have the sound of furry pause
(13:50):
once again. A house is not a home without them,
and my husband now is no longer a skeptic. Yay, Yay,
thank you for such a brilliant podcast, and that is
from Georgie.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Also, we got this message from Sandy Hi Julian Rebecca
just catching up and heard you talking about mourning jewelry.
I actually did this for two of my dogs. Our
dog's Nitro and Ivy, passed away in the same year,
and when we had them cremated, we had their ashes
made into memorial diamonds.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I love this. You talked about this in our final
episode of the year last year.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I love them and I wear them every day. It's
neat too, because the company sends you updates as your
diamonds are being made. It's a long process too, almost
a year.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I had no idea it took that long, I know.
So here's a picture of the rings, like, oh, look
how those are?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
The website is Saint Diamonds spelled out s ai int
Diamonds dot com. And though Sandy Hatter dogs turned into diamonds,
this same company will turn human remains into diamonds.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Well, I'm fatminan up my husband and they're really pretty.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I just don't know if I could Okay, I could
do that with a human, but I don't know if
I could wear it anywhere. What if it's like a
Harry Potter or Horcrux or something and you wear it
somewhere or you lose it falls down the sink or
somebody mugs you.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
And takes it, like, oh, that would be awful, And
think about like.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
What's gonna happen twenty years from now when we're seeing
these things at like pawn shops.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Oh, how weird would that?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Weird? Wo that?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
How sad would that be?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I hope I'm worth a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I hope I make a pretty diamond.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Why wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Well, because some of them come out like they come
out different colors, which is really interesting, Like if.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
You eat garbage, it's gonna come out like brownish looking
or something.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
When you look at Sandy's with both of her dogs,
one diamond is white and the other is kind.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Of like a canary color amber.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, so I don't know. We'll put a link to
the website in the show notes. Sandy, thanks for letting
us know. That's all the time we have for this week.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah, not entirely sure.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
It wasn't just bots fighting with other bots, but ye
still got a little ugly.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's kind of what I'm thinking. We had that one
video of the girl who puts the sock on her
baseball bat. Yeah, and there were a lot of dudes
coming in saying really ridiculous, like just picking fights kind
of things, And I just thought, what if these are
just burly bots fighting with each other. I like the
idea of a burly burly butt.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You have a beard, yeah, plannel, that's what I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
