Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, there's Spooky Friends and welcome to another episode of
the Scary Podcast. No, well, I'm Robin Grace. This is
that of us. Hello, and today we have a very
special guest who's going to tell us some stories.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, very excited. Thank you so much for joining us. Kelly.
We've read a lot of your stories that you've sent
into Homegrown Horror before, but yeah, finally able to get
you on the show.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
So say hi, Hi, thank you guys for having me,
and Hi all the Spooky Friends. I'm so excited to
be here.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We're very excited to have you. And full disclosure, we've
known Kelly for I think like ten years. We haven't
hung out a whole lot. We hung out like a
little bit. You got used to be your roommate of Marcia,
so that's how we met. Recently, we all wound up
at Marsh's wedding, so we got to hang out and
get drunk and we're like, yes, you need to come
on the show. This is a drunken promise.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Full well, I'm really excited. I've been like thinking of
topics to send you, guys, and then finally when you
guys offered, I was like, you know what, I'm just
gonna do my own topic. I'm gonna do it all.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, we're always super happy to have guest topics. I
mentioned it before. We get to be the audience, which
is not a normal thing for us. We just recently
started doing like the single topic episodes, so we get
a little bit more of that experience. But for this one,
me and me and Robin both get to be the audience.
So it's super exciting. But yeah, just tossing that stuff
out there. Realistically, though, we should still open how we
(01:39):
normally open. Robin, have you been since the last episode?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I want to say the same, But you know what
today is like. Sometimes be a girl sucks, and that's
how I feel today.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yep, yeah, I understand. I'm trying to be as accommodating
as possible.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Today He's been like supportive, let's get you some chocolates,
Let's go to store and get this, and so I've
been laying on the couch just like a potato.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But she says get this. I'll say this, and my
not a non defense, I don't know, just to let
you know how stupid I am. Anytime, like we're out
to the store and we have to buy any tamp
punts because they are color coded. I'm just like, okay,
do you want lemon or lime? Like which one is
the one? You want? Which flavors the best? And she
(02:28):
always just looks at me and she's mortified. And I
love doing it when there's people in the aisle with us,
just so I sound as dumb as possible because it's
hilarious to me.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I was contemplating between two different boxes today and he's like, well,
how often are you gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Use group or do you want one?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Anyway, all the guys are listening and they're just like, cringe.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I think we have twenty nine percent male population that
listens to our show. So that's that's my thing that
I'll toss out there for the gents, is be supportive
by the tampons. Just refer to them as flavors. You'll
get through. So we also have a dog that just
started her period.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yes, she started the same day as me, so, which
is weird.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
She's running around with a diaper and she hates that thing.
So she's like she'll run into stuff to try and
get it to fall off of her, and we have
to observe her so she gets the next, don't know,
forty five to an hour and a half, totally scott free.
So I hope she just laid down somewhere and can
chill out. She cannot be bribed with chocolate to cheer
her up, though, because that will result in death.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Oh my gosh. Anyway, so that's how we're doing a
whole lot of ch period corner.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Let's move on, all right, Kelly, how have you been.
We haven't seen you in like four months.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
This week, I would say I've been good, just you know,
doing my thing. My older son started preschool in January,
so now it's just me fifteen month old at home,
which is nice for me. And yeah, just it's exciting
stay at home mom.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Walking around listening to scary Ish telling the fifteen month
old like please don't, please don't learn this word, please don't.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Pretty much, Yeah, that's pretty much.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It's funny having friends who have kids when they listen
to the show. And then like my niece. One day,
my sister called me, She's just like, you know, your
niece is saying like so it's so saying a bad
word or.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Uncle Adam is saying a bit. I got a phone
call during a workday that she heard me on the
radio saying bad words. Just like why it's marked for explicit.
You shouldn't be listening to that kid. I don't know
what to tell you.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Well, I started listening to you guys in twenty twenty
and I had my older son in twenty twenty one,
and I stayed at home for fourteen months, and every
single day I listened to you guys. So I'm really
up saying anything, you know, because I had I had
a couple of seasons or a couple of years of
you guys backlogged at that point. Yeah, and uh, I
(05:03):
mean he's fine.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
If anything goes wrong, though, feel pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Then I'm surprised that he hadn't picked up bad words
just from him, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Shout out to Ross. Ross's hilarious. We miss you, but yeah,
that's so funny. We we've tried to make it not
as vulgar as I shouldn't say vulgar. Robins does a
really good job of not swearing. Since she realized her
niece listens occasionally, she was trying to be better about it.
And I do think that I used the F word
as like a verbal pause. Most people say, I say
(05:35):
the F word and it sucks. I remember in junior
of high school, I decided I wasn't gonna swear just
for like six months, just to see what I could do, uh,
and see if it would expand more vocabulary. And it
did substantially, but I went right back into it.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So for you guys, because I don't usually curse anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So right on perfect, So maybe this one can be marked.
This will be the first episode of this episode three
hundred and eight, the first one that doesn't need to
explicit tag. So we'll see, we'll see what we can do.
I promised nothing though, So that's fair, alrighty, well enough bloviating.
I know we're just talking over you, talking about ourselves,
(06:16):
but let's get to your topic. I'm really really excited
for it.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Right, So I'm here to tell you guys about some
scarish things about where I'm from in northern Nevada. I
currently live in Reno.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The biggest little city in the world.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It's a little city in the world, that's right. And
I'm about forty five minutes away from Lake Tahoe, which
is a very famous lake. It's you know, gigantic, and
first of all, I just want to say, I don't
want anybody to be dissuaded from visiting because Lake Tahoe
is absolutely gorgeous and it's, you know, an amazing place
(06:54):
to go visit, So definitely go visit.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
You sent pictures over prior to the episode. You're like
hams some pictures over for the Instagram post, which I've
been terrible about for like the things we're going to cover,
and like just looking at them, like, man, I still
want to visit. Like the second picture you saend is
just the most picturesque screensaver lake you could ever imagine it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
The check I haven't even looked.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So and then also, I don't know what to call
this topic, so I'm probably just gonna have Adam come
up with topic for me.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Good.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But anyway, so we're gonna start in Lake Tahoe. So
couple little fun facts. Lake Tahoe is pure snow melt.
It is beautiful, like very clear water. It looks shallow,
and it's really like thirty feet deep just because it's
so clear, and the middle of Lake Tahoe, or the
(07:45):
deepest part of Lake Tahoe so deep you can fit
the entire Empire State building in it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Wow, it's a lot of snow.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, it's a little scary if you are scared of dark,
deep water. But I actually have measurements. Let's see, it
is one six hundred and forty five feet deep and
in meters that is five hundred and two meters deep,
and it is since it's completely snow mouth, it is
(08:13):
very cold. Even in the summer it gets to sixty
five or seventy, which air temperature that's nice, but water temperature,
it's pretty cold.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, growing up near a great lake, Lake Michigan gets
warmer than that, and that's a much larger fresh water lake.
So that sounds horrifyingly cold. I can't imagine trying to
swim it at night.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
So I've never been, so I'm really curious to see,
you know. I mean, I've never been to a lake
that wasn't disgusting, she says, after.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Living in Vegas for twelve years, because lake is so nasty.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Well, we live by a lakes well, Lake Tahoe is
one of the clearest lakes. Like it's that and I
think Crater Lake that are just very similar and like clarity,
and it's just it's beautiful. So you guys should come visit.
But there are rumors that the the mob would dump
(09:12):
bodies in the south shore of Lake Tahoe, and supposedly
there are hundreds of corpses suspended in the near freezing waters,
like nine hundred feet down, which is cool.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, Like, okay, when you say suspended, I'm thinking concrete
blocks and the bodies are just like.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
That is the picture that's in my head too. So
when you live in the area, you just hear these things,
and so it was really interesting to do a little
bit of research and like multiple things would like have that.
I'm like, that's so weird.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Like my favorite thing about doing research into rumor is
if you don't find anything to back it up, you
can be like, I guess they got away with it.
Then you know, like, well they just didn't get caught.
That's the only reason you can't find anything about it.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Oh my gosh. So anyway, that brings us to the
legend of Tahoe Tessei. So the Native American tribes in
the area have always had you know, cryptids and legends
about you know, things in the water. I couldn't find
a lot. I always heard that it was based on
the Washo Native Americans, but one of the websites that
(10:15):
I read said that that was just that wasn't necessarily true,
so I'm not I'm not sure, but Tahoe Tessie is
said to be a serpent like creature living in Lake Tahoe,
similar to the Lochnest Monster. Obviously that's where she gets
her name. She She has been spotted as early as
eighteen sixty five by a San Francisco socialite by the
(10:37):
name of Ic Coggin. He reported seeing a serpent like
creature fourteen feet wide and over six hundred feet long.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
How do people estimate feet like that?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I mean, I guess if you're really good at just
eyeing things out, or if they're say, there was like
a boat out there, and you know how big the
boat is?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That make sense?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I guess, so yeah. And then a different person and
an anonymous witness says quote myself, along with three others,
watched a large serpent like creature feeding slash hunting in
a school of large trout. It was in the middle
of the winter of nineteen seventy nine off the dock
at Homewood. It was about as big around as a
(11:18):
telephone pole and maybe thirty feet to sixty feet in length.
From what we could see of it, It didn't swim
like a snake like side to side. It was diving
up and down and splashing with his head and neck
into the school of fish which were leaping out of
the water ahead of it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Okay, our alligators are anything a thing in like, No, not.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yet, not until someone flugged.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I'm thinking, like what creatures could be mistaken for it
in that area.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
It makes me wonder too, how like an eel or
something that was similar in description. I mean, I know,
like NeSSI is technically like that dinosaur. Yeah, but if
you're thinking about something that is actually like snake like
or serpent like, how do they hunt? Because I've seen
pictures or videos or whatever people seeing them in the wild,
and they do sort of swim like a snake, but
that's when they're on the top of the water. I
(12:11):
do wonder like how they do it and if that's
the natural behavior and they are describing how that happens.
And it's significantly smaller in the second account than the
first account, which makes me immediately think that these are
the babies, these are the next ones, which is horrifying
to think that there's a massive creature out there that's
procreating and no one's ever seen it. You just keep
seeing like it's offspring and assuming it's the same one.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah. Yeah, Well the lake is so deep, I'm like, what,
you never know what's down there? It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I mean, the idea that you have the Empire State
building in the deepest point. That building is huge. You
could definitely hide some things down there.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'm saying so. Also in the nineteen eighties there are
a lot of reports of seeing Tessie as well, with
people describing it the size of a rowboat and people
swearing it wasn't like divers or logs or anything like that.
The interesting theory that I have heard, which is kind
of like the loch ness, is that it could be
(13:13):
an ichtheosaur, which is like a marine dinosaur that lived
in the area, and that when Tahoe was formed, it
may have gotten like trapped.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
In the lake.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
And I was like, okay, that's interesting. And then have
you guys ever heard of Jacques Cousteau. Oh yeah, yes, yeah,
so he's a famed oceanographer. He even took a mini
submarine into the lake several times. And this is the
creepy part it says upon surfacing, he stated, quote, the
world is not ready for what's down there.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And that's fucking creepy. That's super creepy.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
He never shared pictures or information about these dives to
his debt, so.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Wow, yeah, I did not share it when he was
going to die.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I know I would have been like it was a
dinosaur and then died.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yeah, just want to let you maybe he died and
like he for because he had all the stuff that
he needed to talk about, like murders, he needed to
admit to what and then you know, passed away before
he got to the really interesting stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's crazy that he wouldn't want to show or share
anything after his dives.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Like after some shit, you know, dropping a fucking bomb
like that, like world's not ready for what's down there,
and you don't follow up on that ever until the
day you die. That's just fucking rude.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And then it just has the Michael Bay directed by
Michael Bay.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Now, there have been many explosions and dinosaurs. If Michael
Bay directed it. I do think it's interesting though, because
when you look at like aquatic creatures like sharks, or
maybe not necessarily all aquatic creatures but you see, like
crocodiles and things like that. You do hear like when
you do research that these creatures have been unchanged since
the time of the dinosaurs. It's like it's not beyond
the realm of possibility, you know, It's like it's it's improbable, sure,
(14:51):
but not impossible that something like this could exist. Plus,
like you mentioned, it gets its name from the Lochness Monster,
and that's a long ways away. That's Scotland. This is
in Tahoe, And there's so many of these creatures that
get very similar descriptions, and those accounts have been around
for so long. It's like either there is something out
there that exists in large bodies of water it's the
(15:13):
same species or similar enough where it looks the same
where people just lie wherever you go. Well, they've been
lying for a really long time.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah, you gotta think about it though, right, we used
to be one continent, so even though Scotland is really
far away, it could have you know.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Okay, I'll admit I'll be the first to admit that
I'm not up on my geology history. I don't know
when Pangaea is separated and or late with the dinosaurs
or not.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I don't know. But anyway, I've been to Lake Tahoe
a bunch of times. I haven't seen anything. So it's
perfectly safe to come and visit.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Because when you said you've been there a bunch, I
just imagine you like going there like, I don't see
anything that looks like MESSI while you're tossing someone with
the comfort on their feet or a bridge like this exaggeration.
Don't you think, Oh, you're not talking bye, let me
see anything down there?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Oh my gosh. So that was pretty much it. I mean,
as far as I've done and seen my research, there
hasn't been any accounts of face to face encounters with
Tahoe tessei, and from what I know of Lochness, I
think they're very similar, you know, like docile, shy. You
know they're not there too, you know, do anything bad
(16:30):
and probably just want to be left alone, you know,
let me live in my deep lake.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So now we are going to go to uh, Pyramid Lake.
So Lake Tahoe feeds into Pyramid Lake via the Trucky River.
The Trucky River goes through Reno and then Pyramid Lake
is about thirty five minutes northeast of where I live
in Reno. The lake itself is that pretty big. It's
(17:00):
fifteen miles long eleven miles wide, and the lake is
entirely on the Paiute Tribe reservation, so some of the
lake isn't even available to public because of past desecration
to sacred sites, which is kind of a shame. Yeah,
but the only thing people really do on the lake
is fish. There's apparently a rare species of giant trout.
(17:23):
But the lake is like super windy and the currents
are tricky, so people don't really, you know, go out
there unless you're gonna fish. It's not like a recreational lake.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
But the thing about this lake is it's supposedly haunted
by the water babies. Well, there's also signs of water
babies in Lake Tahoe as well, but I figured I'm
covering it in Lake Pyramid.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay, and I hear water babies. I see two things.
I see a baby exactly how you look at a baby,
but it's completely made of water, like yeah. Or I
see a baby that's like a baby, but it's underwater.
And I can't decide which one is more horrifying.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
All I hear is that meme where that guy's like,
what's the matter, baby.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It's more like the second one that you described. So now,
so it's really interesting. People don't really know and I'll
tell you why in a minute. So, the water babies
are said to be mysterious and dangerous spirits. They are
said to be the spirits of babies born with birth
defects or malformations that were thrown into the waters by
(18:35):
their mothers. Apparently they lure in their victims by men
making baby cries and then they drown them. Yeah what.
It says that they're most active during early morning and evening,
and if you hear them, it's an omen of death.
Other accounts say that if you hear them, you will
be cursed with bad luck, which death is also bad luck.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
So I'm curious they drown their victim. So, like, let's
say you're in a cabin by the lake. You hear
a baby crying from the lake. You think that's creepy
at shit, super haunting and horrifying, but could be an
actual baby. I'm gonna go check. You navigate your way
into the lake one of these things shows up. I'm
(19:17):
a pretty big guy, I have never sat around and
thought how many babies I can fight off before, But
I would imagine they either have superhuman strength or there's
just a lot of them to pull you under.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I didn't put this in my script, but one thing
that I read said that it's like demons that are
in the form of.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Baby, so definitely superhuman strength. I thought you were gonna
give us, because you have been a teacher, like a
ratio of adult male child strength and how many children
I could fight it?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Maybe I haven't babies per average adult male.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I have been smashed in the face by many a baby,
and those things are straw. It is crazy how strong
babies are.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Just from her holding it to clarify and the baby
moving and hitting her, then just walk up like take
this and just hit her right in the face. He
got one of those faces for.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
The interesting thing is they've killed all apparently they've killed
all of their victims, right, so nobody has seen them,
you know, they no one's served, so don't really know
what they look like. It is definitely connected with the
the Native American legends and all of that. According to
(20:37):
urban legends around the lake, there are strange deaths and
bodies that are never found. And then I will tell you.
My husband Ross grew up in Gardnerville, which is in
the Reno area as well, near Indian reservations, and he
said that they would go jump off this thing called
the Power Dam into the water, and the Native kids
wouldn't go anywhere near it. They said that if you
(21:00):
you went too far down the water, babies would grab
your legs and you wouldn't come back up.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
That's horrible, that is horrifying.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
So I drove out there with some friends, I think
when I was a freshman in college, and it was nighttime,
and I think I can't remember. I think some of
my friends may have gotten out of the car and
I was scared. I mean, there was just an eerie
feeling around the area in general, and so I just
stayed in the car while they all got out. Nothing happened,
but it just like nothing good could come of it.
(21:31):
You know, I'm just gonna stay in the car. I'm
not gonna be taken by these water babies.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's like better safe than sorry, unless that story is
gonna end with And I never saw them again.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Then I had to drive the car by myself back
and that's.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
How I learned to drive. I was terrified and I
drove my friend's car back.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Sometimes when you go to a place, you can just tell,
you know, that you feel weird, like something's just not right.
So it's interesting that you felt that when you went.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah, yeah, it's definitely And that was the only time
I've ever been out there. There's not a lot out there,
so I'm not going to drive like thirty five miles,
you know. But we did it just for fun, and no,
I don't need to do it again.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
I'd got to go to Yeah, there's a lot more
things you can do with your time, especially as a
full like adult, than chase haunted stuff for scares to
feel like you're doing something interesting. It's like there's such
limited amounts of free time we have nowadays where it's like,
I don't want to spend it, risking my life just
to see whether or not that thing is real.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I mean, Adam says that, but then he would totally
go and go to a haunted place or a haunted house.
If someone was like, hey, let's go do this.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
He'd probably say certain things you're right about. I would
not do this specifically as someone who almost drown as
a child. The idea of testing don't jumping into deep
water and going down far enough just to see if
something will grab my ankles and I'll die. Like, that's
a hard pass for me. There's many ways I'm willing
to like test theories out. That is not one of them.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
You know who would do that? Who tell us Wan?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I hate you so much.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
My brain swims in twilight soup.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Well, I have a place for you to go to next.
Then my next one is about a place called Virginia City.
And this is a place if you guys come up
and visit this is I want to take you here too,
because it's actually a really cool little town. It's east
of Lake Tahoe, southeast of where I'm where I live,
not a very far drive. And it's like this really
(23:30):
cool little western town. Like it has like the boardwalk
sidewalks and like the cool saloons and like I mean
they lean into it. But it was literally like a
mining town. They had. It was called the comstock Load.
I think it was a big, huge silver mine. And
Virginia City is the reason why there was the California
gold Rush, so it was like a big deal.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Okay, I did not realize that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, and it's known to be one of the most
haunted places in America. It started as a silver mine
in eighteen fifty nine. And this is my favorite fact
because it's just so crazy. So, a man by the
name of Samuel Clemens lived in Virginia City eighteen sixty
two to eighteen sixty four and first used his pen
name of Mark Twain. I was like, I know that name,
(24:15):
waiting for the local newspaper. I was like, what he's
so known for, like the Mississippi River and stuff like
Virginia City. That's where he first got his name or
used his name. Okay, Yeah. When you go there, they
have like lots of stuff on the walls of all
the pubs. There's like little stories like oh, Mark Twain
was here, and it's just cool little town to go through.
(24:38):
And you can also find the Suicide Table here. I
don't know if you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Have ever heard of No, what is this?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
So it is some sort of like poker table, and
it's infamous for three of its previous owners committing suicide. Yeah,
they're bad at poker. I'm just yeah. So it's like
propped up in one of the in one of the
saloons and it has like the whole story, like here's
all the previous owners and who's here. It's like kind
(25:06):
of creepy but really cool. But when I was doing
I knew that Virginia City was haunted. But when I
Google searched it to see like what I could put,
it had like a list of like fifteen different places
in Virginia City that were haunted, and I was like, oh,
that's that's really creepy. So of course I just I
decided to talk about one. It's called the Silver Queen Hotel.
(25:31):
There's not too much information, but it's really fascinating. It
was built in eighteen seventy six, and it's said to
be haunted by Rosie, a lady of the night. She
was a prostitute who operated her business at the Silver Queen,
and she committed suicide in Room eleven. People guests who
(25:52):
have visited said that they've heard loud footsteps on wooden
floors even though the entire hotel has carpeted.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Oh that's creepy, that is.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, rattling doorknobs, mysterious voices coming from unoccupied rooms, and
they've seen her apparition in room eleven and on the staircase,
which is kind of creepy. I think they've seen it,
maybe not, but I think they've seen it on the
security cameras as well, which is kind of creepy and cool.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Imagine imagine, oh my goodness, I would freak out being
that security guard, like that's there's so not right.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I would immediately call my boss like, hey, I quit,
I'll go to a job somewhere else not haunted. Thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
There is another ghost named Annie. There's no backstory on her,
but people have said that they've seen her and heard
her around the hotel. And I know, you guys don't
like Zach begins I put because of you guys, but
he's they've visited with Ghost Adventures to They've they visited
this hotel like five times. And he even got a
(26:57):
tattoo of the number eleven on his arm because of
the room eleven that Rosie committed suicide, in which I
was like, that's I mean, that means it's at least prolific.
If they've been to it numerous times, they did.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
He like go out to a local saloon and get
it tattooed on him or did it just appear.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
After he was a demon, he got possessed and it
just showed up. I mean, I mean, I haven't seen
the episode. I should look it up.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
But you're good, Loan just wildly speculate that dude doesn't
deserve our ratings or our money.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
That's true. Good point. But yeah, it's super cool. And
one of the pictures I sent you is just interesting.
They have a big portrait at the Silver Queen. The
picture is called Silver Queen. It's fifteen feet tall, full
body portrait of a woman that was embedded with three
two hundred and sixty one Morgan silver dollars from the
(27:50):
you know, the Silver Mine. It's actually really I haven't
seen it in person because I didn't do this research
before I had gone to Virginia City, but it sounds
really neat.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, I'm looking at the picture that you said, Rover.
It's very shiny. I didn't realize. I thought those were rhinestones.
I didn't realize those were silver dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Imagine how much it's worth.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, she just told how many? How many silver dollars
are okay, but like.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
A quick mass and sixty one times point.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
But I thought silver dollars are worth a dollar.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's worth at least that.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, for sure, dollars aren't made of pure silver, are they.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
I have no idea, to be honest with you, I
feel like we could learn this by going to Virginia
City and let's go. Let's go. What The fact that
you said that there's a bunch of places that are
haunted makes me think that we should not only take
a trip there, but each one of us me, you, Ross,
and Robin should have a different hotel each of us
stay in and compare by ourselves and compare notes to
(28:51):
the next night. We're st there for four nights and
rotate to a different hotel each night to see which
one we all rank as the most haunted.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
No, sounds like Ross's first nightmare. He is afraid of
scary things.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Really, I feel like he would just make fun of
the ghost until the ghost just passed on into the afterlife.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
You know, that's what he should do.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
This could be super fun.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, So anyway, that's pretty much it. If any of
you spooky friends find yourself in Northern Nevada, definitely go
to Lake Tahoe. Definitely go to Virginia City. Reno's cool too.
I didn't cover it, but it's pretty cool. But yeah,
it's it's a really cool area that's really good stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And honestly, when we moved into the third part of it,
when we're covering Virginia City, I just kept thinking about
babies dragging me underwater. So thank you for giving me
a new phobia that I'll think about every time. I'm
not gonna think about sharks nearly as much, regardless of
the depth of the water body I go into. Could
be pools, doesn't matter, it could be a bathtub. That's
always going to be like living in my brain from
(29:53):
now and until the end of time.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
The idea of any water spirits at all, not just babies,
but like any ghosts or any types of entities that
live in the water is just so scary because you
can't see them. They're just you know, clean, until.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
It's too late, and all you can do is just
give them the finger because that's you just have to
die in a defiant way.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well, and who knows, maybe they're invisible, maybe you can't
see nobody knows what they look like.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
It's worse. Why would you want to be killed by
something invisible?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well, then how do you know it's a baby good point.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Well, no, the cries, that's why they.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah. Honestly, I feel like we're going to have to
come visit at some point in the hopefully near future,
and we'll have to do I know, Robin Oia says no,
but we'll have to do one of the spooky things
might not be the four hotels like I suggested, but
at the very least stuff that we can post onto
our Instagram and share with our our wonderful spooky friends.
They can see what's what's going on up there, because
it sounds like it's a wonderful place to see and
(30:48):
it has a rich history that might also be haunted
and filled with cryptids and or baby water spirits and
dead bodies floating at the bottle of lakes.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, and we won't go to Parramid Lake. We know
we can skip that one bummer.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
What's the what's the best time up year?
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It depends on what you want to do. I mean,
it's kind of snows. It snows up here sometimes during
the winter, and it's kind of cold, so like Virginia
City would be good, like fall spring. Probably Lake Tahoe
is good anytime of year, but if you want to
go out on the water, like summer because it's freezing,
but like they have skiing and snowboarding and just so
(31:25):
much stuff year round, do you want like a nice
lake day, like definitely summer.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
What I want. What I've been looking into since we
got back from our Europe vacation, which was so long
and so expensive but also so awesome, is a trip
where I can go and just be in a cabin
where there's just snow outside and it's my excuse to
not have to leave the cabin, like just like a
retreats where I can spend a weekend locked in the cabin,
just like feeding logs into a fire.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Well, my family definitely has a cabin in not all
like Tahoe, but in Trucky, And if you were to
go right this second, there would be it would be
exactly what you're describing.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
So, oh cool, I'm gonna get in my car.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Go great now, I'll see you here in what eleven hours?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Cool? If it's haunted, that'll be perfect. So if it's not,
you need to go there and kill someone really last,
you gotta go make a ghost. I'll let you figure
out how to do that so the FBI doesn't listen
to this and have clues. But yeah, thank you so
much for joining us. This is a super fun topic.
I definitely we've talked about a little bit about like
coming and visiting you and uh knowing there's all this
other stuff going on around there aside from just how
(32:28):
awesome and pretty Lake Tahoe is, because I hear about
that all the time from everyone who goes there. Definitely
a bunch of extra motivators to hang out with you
and Ross and and go and do some fun stuff
as well. So yeah, it's been a blast. Thank you
so much.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Thanks for having me. I was that was a lot
of fun.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Noll Probably if you get bored and you're like, I
want to do another topic, I have one that I
want to write up, just message us. We'll have you
back on.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Nope, Adams like, let me tap this source seriously, Like.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I love having special guests on. I love listening to
topics that I wouldn't have thought of. One of the
hardest things to do it three hundred and eight episodes.
Just think of a topic. So people think of one
and are like passionate about it. I'm always like, yeah, sure,
let us know, we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
So yeah, I started writing this after I had talked
to you guys about it, when I was on the
couch dying, being sick and like laying there, and I
was like, my god, I need to write this thing down.
And I started like the first part of it with
all like the random little facts that I know, and
then that's what I was like, Okay, Now, when I
felt better, I was like, I got to finish this
and do some research and like fill it with some
(33:24):
good stuff. But it just came to me while I
was on the couch.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
That's really cool.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Regardless of when inspiration strikes. The fact that we all
have this little mobile computer in our pockets means that
we can type stuff in there. This is one of your
favorite works ever? Fifty shades. Wasn't that written on like
a BlackBerry? Robin Are That's okay.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
One, that's not one of my favorite works ever, but
I assume it was. Yeah, I'm pretty sure because I
was found fiction.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Right.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
So you say, you say it's not one of your favorites,
I should just say most oft watched, because like, if
there's a watch count for that, I'm pretty sure it'll
be pretty high up there.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I'm okay, you don't need to defend yourself. I've watched
you know, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings
the most, all right, all of those. Twilight is definitely
up there.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
And then the derivative, the spinoff derivative. Yeah, it's funny.
Of the trilogies that you enjoy the most, there's like
Lord of the Rings Extended edition and then the Shades
underrated trilogy. Oh my god, anyways, sorry, no.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Star Wars has to be in there first. It's Lord
of the Rings. You gotta have the.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Stars the trilogy of trilogies.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah, it's gonna say what about Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
The original trilogy is so good, we just don't watch
it as often as we used to, so it's hard.
I feel like when there's more that you know you're
not watching. It's like you don't watch Lord of the Rings,
and you're like, I like the Two Towers the best,
so I'm only gonna watch that one. Although like when
I don't know, we're so far down down this tangion.
I was just about to say, I know a lot
of people when they rea or watch Twilight, they skiped
New Moon for whatever reason. So I guess that does happen.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah, a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
AnyWho, we're at the end.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Little is there anything that you you, you know, have
going on, like, I don't know, do you have like
your own shop or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
No, not really. I mean I baked for fun. I
baked some strawberry lemonade cupcakes for a gallantines I went
to yesterday and they turned out really good. I mean
you've probably heard me and Marsha used to bake all
the time.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, I remember those days.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yes, yeah, the baking beauties. But we don't live together anymore.
And so she comes up for cookies to bake Christmas
cookies for me here.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
But I never spin up a side business or anything
like that. Let us know, so we can plug in
a bunch and let everyone know to go buy stuff
like that. I'll never forget. It's just burning in my
brain forever. I used to ask Marcia. She used to
talk about the stuff you guys used to bake when
we used to work together. And I used to ask Marshall, like,
please bring something in on a cheata of mine because
I used to be like in really good shape, and
(36:10):
I had a really solid diet, and one day she
brought in I forget the name of them, but they're
a very special type of brownie with like a Reese's
cup in the middle or something like that. And she
brought them in on my fasting day and I was like, no,
seventeen hours into a twenty four hour fast, and I
was just looking at her like, I hate you so
much right now, Like I gave you as a calendar
(36:32):
of the days that I can't eat and could eat
these things, and he brought them on the worst possible day.
Like she'll randomly bring it up, like remember I brought
you brownies when you couldn't eat. It's like, yeah, I
hate you so much for that. So fun times.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
One of the brownies that we used to make for
Apple were it was like a layer of brownie, a
layer of caramel with chocolate chunks and bacon and then
another and like pecans or something like that and the
other layer of brownie on top. And they were to
die for. They were so good with just like bacon,
(37:07):
Oh my gosh. But the hard thing was, you know,
you do the toothpick to make sure it's baked all
the way through bacon chocolate chunks and carple. So it's like, well,
I think it's done, but I mean undercooked brownies are good, right,
Oh yeah, they're the best.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
It's so funny. I think everyone can agree that you
need to spin up some sort of a bakery so
we can all purchase those. Yeah, or just make a
sheet of them and meet us at the cabin and
we'll see you in eleven hours.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
I think I think there were like a butter beer
cupcakes at one point.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
That was like the number one thing that people would
ask where the butter beer cupcakes? We made that so often.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
It's funny. Robin just got a butter beer thing today
when we were at Target. So like that flavor profile persists.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
It's so good.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Right on, I'll think you one more time for joining us.
I guess I'll do the standard outro stuff. If anyone
has any stories they would like to share with us,
