(00:04):
You're listening to to. The Spirit Podcast Hello
Wanderers, weirdos and watchers of the unexplained.
You've crossed the threshold once again into Beyond the Veil.
I'm back your guide through the fog of forgotten truths.
(00:25):
And joining me, as always, is the woman whose intuition is
sharper than a cryptid's claw. Rachel.
Hey, Rach. Hey, and we actually did test
that with the Cryptid claw not too long ago, and it's true.
We have Cryptid claws hanging around our studio.
Yeah, if you like to purchase one.
We've got a stack of bizarre this week that'll make you
(00:49):
question your reality, your history books, and possibly
you're plumbing. So pour yourself a cup of
something warm or alien green and let's get into the news.
We're diving deep, literally, into the first story of the
week. Picture this.
(01:11):
You're in a pressurized submersible thousands of feet
beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean.
The darkness is so complete, it feels like you're floating in
ink and suddenly light. Not from your instruments, not
from your crew, but from something alive.
(01:31):
Ocean X researchers recently captured rare footage of a
bioluminescent anomaly in the Abyssal zone, what they
described as rhythmic bursts of light pulsing with intentional
precision. Some patterns even mimic the
lights of their sub. It's not in any marine biology
guide. There's no known Organism with
(01:53):
that specific behavior. Now scientists are calling it
either a new species, a previously undocumented
biological reaction, or something else entirely.
Let's paint this a little creepier.
The lights responded when the crew flashed a signal.
The mystery sourced blinked backin a matching rhythm. 3 flashes,
(02:17):
pause, 3 flashes. It was like playing Simon Says
with the dark. Marine biologists say it's
probably a new jellyfish species.
But others in fringe science circles are whispering, what if
it's not biological at all? What if it's a transmission, an
old signal that's been pulsing for eons and we just stumbled
(02:38):
into the conversation? Rach, if the sea is that
intelligent, if it's flashing back at us, are we talking to
nature or something in nature that's been waiting for someone
to listen? Maybe there's some sort of
intelligence deep in the ocean trying to communicate, or
possibly there's some sort of portal opening down there and
(03:01):
you know, they're testing the waters.
No pun intended. I never thought of a portal, and
if it is a creature, what kind of consciousness signals from
that depth are we looking at? Earth's own version of a SETI
message? Sticking with the watery weird,
(03:29):
researchers off the coast of England and the Mediterranean
are uncovering the ruins of whatthey're calling ancient
playgrounds. But not playgrounds in the
modern sense. These are entire gathering
sites, Tiled Roman baths, Mesiolithic meeting platforms,
ceremonial coastal structures now submerged and Barnacle
(03:51):
blessed, swallowed up by the rising seas or earthquakes over
time. And here's the odd part, some of
these were located in areas thatshouldn't have been inhabitable
by early humans, geologically unstable fault zones or Cliff
edge communities with no known trade access.
Which leads us to the high strangeness theory.
(04:13):
Were these meeting places reallyfor recreation or were they
something else? Ritual sites, energy hubs, or
places where early humans sense something sacred?
Even mainstream archaeologists admit the symmetry of these
layouts, the reoccurring motifs and tile work, and their
alignment with celestial points suggesting something deeper.
(04:36):
Rachel, have you seen these TikTok videos of them uncovering
this? Yeah, I've seen a few of them
and it's definitely just beyond decoration.
What if the ancients weren't just bathing and bartering, but
connecting with the earth in ways we forgot?
Yeah, I believe it. Are we looking at forgotten
(04:59):
memory or buried technology? Probably a bit of both, and we
might have that knowledge of what it was and we're just
trying to cover it up because wewant to be taught that We were
more dumb back then, but I thinkwe probably had a lot more
knowledge. Because if Atlantis taught us
anything, it's that sometimes sunken places weren't lost by
(05:22):
accident, they were hidden. True that.
Now from the depths of the sea to the deadly depths of
someone's kitchen. Aaron Patterson, 50, is
(05:46):
currently on trial in Australia for allegedly preparing a dish
that killed 3 people and hospitalized 1/4 her ex in laws
and family friend using death cap mushrooms.
Oh. That's great.
She claims she just wanted to jazz up a bland meal and grab
(06:06):
dried mushrooms from her pantry,but prosecutors aren't buying
the culinary innocence. Just had some death mushrooms in
my pantry. Evidence shows that she Googled
death cap mushrooms a year earlier.
Her phone was wiped after the incident.
She even faked a cancer diagnosis to lure her ex in laws
(06:27):
to dinner. And here's the twist, she didn't
eat the beef Wellington herself.She served it, smiled, and sat
it out. Oh, it's always the Beef
Wellington, isn't it? What started as a weird dinner
tragedy has now become an international media storm, and
some believe it's no accident. Some armchair sleuths online or
(06:50):
even calling it the first documented culinary hex murder.
A meal intentionally laced with death energy.
Rach, when does a bad recipe become a murder weapon?
And if someone fakes cancer to cook you dinner, should you ever
eat the side salad? That makes me think of that
(07:14):
story that happened not too longago.
That woman made a cake out of bad ingredients and killed a
whole bunch. Of her family, yeah.
But that is sinister. I'm just saying if someone pulls
out the dehydrator, the kitchen gloves and a story about
elevating flavor and you haven'tseen them in a year, maybe go
home hungry. People have told me about people
(07:35):
they know who they faked having cancer.
Happens a lot, especially for the GoFundMe.
Oh my God, that's that's got to be unbelievable karma when you
do something like that. All right, let's head to
Thailand, where the line betweenNational Geographic and the
supermarket sweep has officiallybeen crossed.
(07:57):
Earlier this month, a wild elephant name Ply Bingleck.
Oh. Casually walked into a local
grocery store near Kowai National Park.
I saw that. Oh, you did?
I did. The surveillance footage shows
him maneuvering through the aisles like a regular shopper,
(08:18):
except instead of a cart, he used his trunk. 9 bags of sweet
rice crackers, a bunch of bananas and what appears to be a
sandwich were removed from shelves and consumed on the
spot. The final bill?
800 baht, about 22 bucks. That's actually quite a deal.
Yeah, not bad. But here's the kicker.
(08:38):
This wasn't his first snack run.Local shopkeepers say he's done
it before. He knows exactly where the
snacks are. He even avoids the frozen aisle
because who wants cold fruit? Some believe he's the
reincarnation of a monk who oncelived in the nearby temple.
Others say he's just an exceptionally intelligent
elephant who's figured out modern supply chains.
(09:00):
Either way, he's got a taste forcarbs and 0 gill Rach.
If reincarnation is real, would you rather come back as a chill
Thai elephant with a snack habitor a kettle that boils itself to
warn of ghosts, that is. Really interesting options.
I really think about these things, you know?
(09:21):
If I was a kettle that boils to warn of ghosts, that means I
probably could see the ghosts asthe kettle, right?
Obviously. So I I think I have to go with
the kettle, my paranormal ass. OK.
I mean, I can't decide if this is adorable or terrifying.
An 8 ton animal wandering into your store with a craving and a
(09:44):
memory of the cracker aisle. Can you write that on your
taxes? Right?
Like that's a loss. Well, that's either divine
consciousness or the world's most dangerous DoorDash.
From land snags to deep sea omens, let's talk about the
enormous, mysterious and franklyelegant horror known as the
(10:07):
oarfish. A9 foot specimen just washed up
on the Tasmanian beach, glittering, undamaged and almost
deliberately presented. And before the scientists could
say nothing to see here, folks, folklore lovers across the globe
were quoting Japanese legend. The oarfish is the right.
Ryugu knows Tukai. The messenger from the Sea God's
(10:29):
palace and an omen of earthquakes and tsunamis.
Locals were understandably on edge.
Video show people gently measuring the oarfish while
nervously side eyeing the ocean like it might reach up and slap
them. Marine biologists claimed it was
likely disoriented, sick, or drawn up by undersea currents.
(10:50):
But here's a question. Why does it always happen right
before or after seismic activity?
Coincidence. Pattern.
Or has this glorified ribbon fish been trying to tell us
something for centuries? If this fish is a divine
Courier, are we ignoring ancienttexts in favor of tide charts?
(11:10):
Rage. I was looking at the pictures of
the ore fish, 'cause I wanted tofish.
Yeah. So we're definitely getting
signals from the fish and when there is activity that is
causing a disruption in the force, it is definitely
(11:31):
affecting the fish and I think we should pay attention to that
for sure. I think if the sea God is
sending messengers, should we atleast give them a podium and a
microphone? Yeah, and just stay out of the
ocean. Yeah, we talked about that a
lot. Today.
Oh God. Next up, a ghost photo that's
(11:56):
got people arguing, screenshotting and sleeping with
the lights on. Ghost hunters Richard and
Anthony were snapping pictures under the blood moon at Kennedy
Castle in Ofoley, Ireland. I'm Irish and I'm totally
butchering it as per usual. Known for its fair share of
hauntings, they caught what appears to be a towering,
cloaked figure. Others swear they see a child's
(12:19):
face, a wolf, even a horse in the same frame.
It's like a paranormal Rorschachtest.
That it is Rach and the spook doesn't stop there.
Several people reported sleep paralysis after viewing the
image. Oh.
God. One woman swears her phone
glitched and then deleted her photos the moment she zoomed in.
(12:43):
Skeptics claim it's pareidolia, a trick of the light in our
overactive imaginations. But believers, they're warning
others not to stare at the phototoo long.
So Rach, would you blow this up and frame it or toss your phone
into a river after zooming in? What do they say on the TikTok
comments? I rebuke this and I don't want
(13:04):
anything to do with that. Me neither.
If it's known to cause issues, no thanks.
Like I said, I don't even look. I don't look at a picture of
Annabelle for too long. So.
And if a picture is worth 1000 words, this one's whispering all
of them backwards in Latin. Yikes.
(13:30):
Now to a haunting so powerful even Adele couldn't hello from
the other side without freaking out.
Partridge Green in West Sussex has long been whispered about
ghost cats, self boiling kettles, a girl in white who
just stands in your hallway silently.
But things got national attention after Adele recorded a
(13:51):
cooking vlog in a nearby mansionand casually referred to it as
quite scary. Quite scary.
The result? No one will buy the house now,
despite its sprawling room, stained glass and countryside
charm. Buyers vanish like the lights
when you ask. Did someone else just hear that?
(14:11):
You would think somebody would be jumping on that because Adele
said it was quite scary, yeah. Nothing like a good old
endorsement from Adele. Locals claim the girl in white
is just an old convent resident still tending to the mansion out
of habit. Others say she's a spectral
squatter who just likes the attention and the boiling
(14:31):
kettles. They apparently start whistling
without being plugged in. If Adele got spooked, what hope
is there for the rest of us? Rach is?
She a brave one, that Adele. She set fire to the rain.
That's right. Also, would you rather be
haunted by a ghost child or ghost barista who keeps boiling
(14:52):
water for tea you didn't ask for?
Oh, that sounds like a fire hazard, Beck.
Unless it was me reincarnated asthe kettle that boiled.
If I saw a ghost, probably the ghost child.
You see how it all connects, Rach?
It all connects. Yeah, all comes back full
(15:13):
circle. OK, you're going to get haunted
by the ghost. The ghost kids are the scariest.
I think real kids are scarier. Yeah, I'll.

blade throwing it fire. Hold down your breath.
(16:35):
Still you jump the fire. Well just sit and wait till you
see me fly. You know don't ever catch me
forest. See me fly the way I put my
finger on it. See me fly, you got it.
Then try to tell me you've got the wrong guy.
See me fly, you know you'll never catch me for it.
(16:59):

See me fly, you got it. Then try to tell me you've got
the wrong guy. Look at them now, all of the
(17:24):
noise they make. Counting the carts to 1.
Queen of hearts never break. Falling asleep.

Forest the way I put my finger on it.

You know you'll never catch me. Forest.
(18:13):
The way I put my finger on it. See me fly.
I got it.
(18:47):
If all this has you itching to get out and chase the weird
yourself, here's some upcoming events to pin to your haunted
cork board. July 7th through 9th.
Contact in the desert, California Ufology, CE5
workshops, sky watches, and probably at least one government
whistleblower disguised as a yoga teacher.
(19:08):
August 3rd Paranormal Festival, Kilkenny, Ireland.
Haunted castles, banshee lectures, and a ghost pub crawl
that might crawl back. Let's go to that one, Rach.
Yeah, I want to hear about the Banshees.
I know. September 14th through the 15th.
Which city? Psychic Fair, Salem MA Mediums,
(19:29):
vortex maps, and enough sage to bless the entire East Coast.
I love Salem. That's a quick.
Drive. Me Too.
October 4 through 6. Cryptozoology conference in
Portland, ME. Bigfoot panels, Thunderbird
theories, and probably a blurry photo booth.
Which one are we crashing robes or no robes?
(19:53):
OK, this one's part music lore, part ghost story, and part viral
urban legend. But it's been circulating again,
so, you know, we had to dig in. According to the tale, Michael
Jackson once left a studio microphone recording overnight
unattended, unplugged from any official session, just rolling.
(20:14):
The result? A strange 23 hour audio file.
Buried somewhere inside was a segment labeled T7.
Let me out. Oh.
Those who claim to have heard itdescribe ambient static,
mechanical whirring, and a faintbut chilling voice repeating a
single phrase. Let me.
(20:38):
Creepy. Over and over.
Some say it sounds like a child,others say it's layered.
Multiple voices phasing in and out like echoes from somewhere
that shouldn't have a mic feed. There's no official statement
from the Jackson Estate Studio. Engineers deny it ever existed.
But in the age of mystery files and haunted hard drives, it
(20:59):
won't die. Some believe it's a glitch,
Others call it an EVPA. Few even theorize it was Michael
channelling something intentionally.
Rach, if a 23 hour audio file whispered in your headphones,
would you shut it off or start asking questions?
(21:20):
I would definitely be trying to figure out who wants to be let
out. Can you say anything else?
Where are you? Have you heard these audio
files? No, I haven't.
(21:41):
I should have probably looked for it.
I just want to know how long it is before Siri becomes
possessed. Some people have had some.
Paranormal experience, I know, more so with Alexa, but yeah.
Mm hmm. And now it's time for Quote of
the Day from the beyond. It always knocked twice, once
(22:04):
for attention, the second time to let us know it was inside.
This chilling line comes from a now deleted Reddit thread under
our paranormal, posted by someone who claimed their family
experienced nightly double knocks in an old farmhouse near
the New England coast. The first knock came from the
front door. The second, five seconds later,
(22:26):
came from the hallway inside. Always 3:17 AM.
No one ever found a source. One morning, the mother found a
small handprint on the inside ofthe second floor window.
The kicker? There were no children living in
the home. Eventually, the family left.
(22:46):
The house is still unsold, listed, discounted and waiting.
Rach, if you hear that second knock, same time, same pattern.
Are you grabbing a flashlight, abaseball bat or your keys to
leave town? I guess it depends on what mood
I'm in. 317 in the morning. If I know this is happening, I
might be getting my night visioncamera in my voice recorder in
(23:12):
my Polaroid camera. So you're full on ghost hunting?
Oh, I got all the equipment. I'm good to go.
I'm good to go are. You gonna stay there and deal
with this nightly? I sleep pretty sound so it might
not be too much of a problem forme.
OK. There's things all around me.
(23:33):
I'm haunted everywhere I go. Haunted and unbothered.
Haunted and unbothered. New song by Rage.
Now it's time for listener lore.The Girl in the Mirror Box.
This one came from a listener who asked to stay anonymous, but
we'll call her L She and her husband had just moved into an
(23:55):
older farmhouse in the Midwest, the kind with a stone basement.
That's. The best kind?
While cleaning behind the water heater, they found a dusty,
ornate wooden box. Inside was a cracked hand
mirror, two baby shoes, and a yellowed note that read Do not
(24:16):
speak her name. She only hears whispers.
Naturally, horror movie logic kicked in.
They kept the box that night. Elle swore she saw some movement
in the mirror. Just a flicker, a shadow.
Her husband brushed it off untilhe woke up the next morning to
find muddy toddler size footprints on their comforter.
(24:38):
Damn ghost toddlers. They moved the box to the
garage. The garage light won't work now.
The mirror still fogs up at 2 O 3:00 AM every night.
The shoes have been found in three different places despite
being locked inside the box. They're still debating whether
to bury it or just move. OK, so you find a creepy mirror
(25:02):
box. Do you bury it, bless it, or
list it on eBay under lightly Haunted Vintage Decor?
Probably find some sort of and then Lorraine type of folk that
can have it for safekeeping in aspecial place.
Or, you know, just give to Zach Beck.
(25:23):
There you go, deal with it. I would sell it to him.
I would make a little profit offit.
Yeah, he can afford it. And now it's time for strange
tales from history. Shadow the screaming skulls of
England. For this week's stroll through
the haunted halls of history, wevisit the English countryside
(25:45):
where screaming skulls are a real thing.
Yes, skulls that if removed or disturbed, unleash terrifying
chaos. Take Betiscombe Manor and
Dorset. Legend says a skull belonging to
an enslaved man brought back from the Caribbean.
Do you say Caribbean or Caribbean rage?
I say Caribbean. OK, me too.
(26:05):
Like pirates? Of the Caribbean.
There we go. Well that was buried in
consecrated ground. Immediately storm struck, the
house shook. The family was tormented by
moans and howls until the skull was exhumed and returned to the
home. Peace followed until anyone
tried to move in again. Then there's Wardley Hall, home
(26:26):
to the skull of Saint Ambrose Barlow, a Catholic martyr
beheaded in 1641. The skull reportedly bleeds if
removed. One visitor fainted when the
walls wept red. The estate now keeps the skull
and a display case with very clear instructions.
Do not touch the prevailing belief these skulls are holding
(26:48):
spiritual contracts. Break the contract and the veil
responds with fury. Rach, if you're Airbnb listed
quiet room with a view plus one non negotiable haunted skull,
are you unpacking or reversing out of the driveway with sage in
hand? The thing I'm going to stay
maybe read a few Edgar Allan Poestories.
(27:11):
You're so brave. I think you talk a lot of shit.
I like the adrenaline rush. I don't do roller coasters.
I just got to scare the shit outof myself sometimes.
So what's the connective tissue this week?
Let's see. We've got deep sea fish
(27:33):
predicting doom, elephants who snack with purpose, haunted
teapots, ghosts photobombing castle tours, spectral children
leaving muddy prints, Adele running from a hallway phantom,
and let's not forget Michael Jackson possibly capturing an
EVP on a 23 hour loop. It's not just that the veil is
thinning, it's that reality is starting to glitch with a flair
(27:56):
for the dramatic. Honestly Rach, at this point are
we just? Are we the observers or just
extra players in someone else's paranormal DACA series called
Earth the Reckoning? I think we're here, we're doing
what we're doing, but we're coming closer and closer to the
other side. We are being able to start to
(28:19):
really play with the spirits from beyond.
Would you say hell from? The other side, that's exactly.
See, it all comes full circle. I told you it does.
(28:41):
Well, that's all for this trip beyond the Veil.
But as always, we want to know what you think.
Heard a hum? Spotted a light?
Found a cursed raccoon skull under your porch?
We're listening. Don't forget to like, subscribe,
and share with the bravest weirdo in your life.
And until next time, keep your ears tuned, your flashlight
charged, and your spirit open. Because the veil.
(29:03):
It's always thinner than you think to.

(04:36):
Rachel, have you seen these TikTok videos of them uncovering
this? Yeah, I've seen a few of them
and it's definitely just beyond decoration.
What if the ancients weren't just bathing and bartering, but
connecting with the earth in ways we forgot?
Yeah, I believe it. Are we looking at forgotten
(04:59):
memory or buried technology? Probably a bit of both, and we

currently on trial in Australia for allegedly preparing a dish
that killed 3 people and hospitalized 1/4 her ex in laws
and family friend using death cap mushrooms.
Oh. That's great.
She claims she just wanted to jazz up a bland meal and grab
(06:06):
dried mushrooms from her pantry,but prosecutors aren't buying
the culinary innocence. Just had some death mushrooms in
my pantry. Evidence shows that she Googled
death cap mushrooms a year earlier.
Her phone was wiped after the incident.
She even faked a cancer diagnosis to lure her ex in laws
(06:27):
to dinner. And here's the twist, she didn't
eat the beef Wellington herself.She served it, smiled, and sat
it out. Oh, it's always the Beef
Wellington, isn't it? What started as a weird dinner
tragedy has now become an international media storm, and
some believe it's no accident. Some armchair sleuths online or
(06:50):
even calling it the first documented culinary hex murder.
A meal intentionally laced with death energy.
Rach, when does a bad recipe become a murder weapon?
And if someone fakes cancer to cook you dinner, should you ever
eat the side salad? That makes me think of that
(07:14):
story that happened not too longago.
That woman made a cake out of bad ingredients and killed a
whole bunch. Of her family, yeah.
But that is sinister. I'm just saying if someone pulls
out the dehydrator, the kitchen gloves and a story about
elevating flavor and you haven'tseen them in a year, maybe go
home hungry. People have told me about people
(07:35):
they know who they faked having cancer.
Happens a lot, especially for the GoFundMe.
Oh my God, that's that's got to be unbelievable karma when you
do something like that. All right, let's head to
Thailand, where the line betweenNational Geographic and the
supermarket sweep has officiallybeen crossed.
(07:57):
Earlier this month, a wild elephant name Ply Bingleck.
Oh. Casually walked into a local
grocery store near Kowai National Park.
I saw that. Oh, you did?
I did. The surveillance footage shows
him maneuvering through the aisles like a regular shopper,
(08:18):
except instead of a cart, he used his trunk. 9 bags of sweet
rice crackers, a bunch of bananas and what appears to be a
sandwich were removed from shelves and consumed on the
spot. The final bill?
800 baht, about 22 bucks. That's actually quite a deal.
Yeah, not bad. But here's the kicker.
(08:38):
This wasn't his first snack run.Local shopkeepers say he's done
it before. He knows exactly where the
snacks are. He even avoids the frozen aisle
because who wants cold fruit? Some believe he's the
reincarnation of a monk who oncelived in the nearby temple.
Others say he's just an exceptionally intelligent
elephant who's figured out modern supply chains.
(09:00):
Either way, he's got a taste forcarbs and 0 gill Rach.
If reincarnation is real, would you rather come back as a chill
Thai elephant with a snack habitor a kettle that boils itself to
warn of ghosts, that is. Really interesting options.
I really think about these things, you know?
(09:21):
If I was a kettle that boils to warn of ghosts, that means I
probably could see the ghosts asthe kettle, right?
Obviously. So I I think I have to go with
the kettle, my paranormal ass. OK.
I mean, I can't decide if this is adorable or terrifying.
An 8 ton animal wandering into your store with a craving and a
(09:44):
memory of the cracker aisle. Can you write that on your
taxes? Right?
Like that's a loss. Well, that's either divine
consciousness or the world's most dangerous DoorDash.
From land snags to deep sea omens, let's talk about the
enormous, mysterious and franklyelegant horror known as the
(10:07):
oarfish. A9 foot specimen just washed up
on the Tasmanian beach, glittering, undamaged and almost
deliberately presented. And before the scientists could
say nothing to see here, folks, folklore lovers across the globe
were quoting Japanese legend. The oarfish is the right.
Ryugu knows Tukai. The messenger from the Sea God's
(10:29):
palace and an omen of earthquakes and tsunamis.
Locals were understandably on edge.
Video show people gently measuring the oarfish while
nervously side eyeing the ocean like it might reach up and slap
them. Marine biologists claimed it was
likely disoriented, sick, or drawn up by undersea currents.
(10:50):
But here's a question. Why does it always happen right
before or after seismic activity?
Coincidence. Pattern.
Or has this glorified ribbon fish been trying to tell us
something for centuries? If this fish is a divine
Courier, are we ignoring ancienttexts in favor of tide charts?
(11:10):
Rage. I was looking at the pictures of
the ore fish, 'cause I wanted tofish.
Yeah. So we're definitely getting
signals from the fish and when there is activity that is
causing a disruption in the force, it is definitely
(11:31):
affecting the fish and I think we should pay attention to that
for sure. I think if the sea God is
sending messengers, should we atleast give them a podium and a
microphone? Yeah, and just stay out of the
ocean. Yeah, we talked about that a
lot. Today.
Oh God. Next up, a ghost photo that's
(11:56):
got people arguing, screenshotting and sleeping with
the lights on. Ghost hunters Richard and
Anthony were snapping pictures under the blood moon at Kennedy
Castle in Ofoley, Ireland. I'm Irish and I'm totally
butchering it as per usual. Known for its fair share of
hauntings, they caught what appears to be a towering,
cloaked figure. Others swear they see a child's
(12:19):
face, a wolf, even a horse in the same frame.
It's like a paranormal Rorschachtest.
That it is Rach and the spook doesn't stop there.
Several people reported sleep paralysis after viewing the
image. Oh.
God. One woman swears her phone
glitched and then deleted her photos the moment she zoomed in.
(12:43):
Skeptics claim it's pareidolia, a trick of the light in our
overactive imaginations. But believers, they're warning
others not to stare at the phototoo long.
So Rach, would you blow this up and frame it or toss your phone
into a river after zooming in? What do they say on the TikTok
comments? I rebuke this and I don't want
(13:04):
anything to do with that. Me neither.
If it's known to cause issues, no thanks.
Like I said, I don't even look. I don't look at a picture of
Annabelle for too long. So.
And if a picture is worth 1000 words, this one's whispering all
of them backwards in Latin. Yikes.
(13:30):
Now to a haunting so powerful even Adele couldn't hello from
the other side without freaking out.
Partridge Green in West Sussex has long been whispered about
ghost cats, self boiling kettles, a girl in white who
just stands in your hallway silently.
But things got national attention after Adele recorded a
(13:51):
cooking vlog in a nearby mansionand casually referred to it as
quite scary. Quite scary.
The result? No one will buy the house now,
despite its sprawling room, stained glass and countryside
charm. Buyers vanish like the lights
when you ask. Did someone else just hear that?
(14:11):
You would think somebody would be jumping on that because Adele
said it was quite scary, yeah. Nothing like a good old
endorsement from Adele. Locals claim the girl in white
is just an old convent resident still tending to the mansion out
of habit. Others say she's a spectral
squatter who just likes the attention and the boiling
(14:31):
kettles. They apparently start whistling
without being plugged in. If Adele got spooked, what hope
is there for the rest of us? Rach is?
She a brave one, that Adele. She set fire to the rain.
That's right. Also, would you rather be
haunted by a ghost child or ghost barista who keeps boiling
(14:52):
water for tea you didn't ask for?
Oh, that sounds like a fire hazard, Beck.
Unless it was me reincarnated asthe kettle that boiled.
If I saw a ghost, probably the ghost child.
You see how it all connects, Rach?
It all connects. Yeah, all comes back full
(15:13):
circle. OK, you're going to get haunted
by the ghost. The ghost kids are the scariest.
I think real kids are scarier. Yeah, I'll.

This is a dream Getting the Royals guard holding a diamond
blade throwing it fire. Hold down your breath.
(16:35):
Still you jump the fire. Well just sit and wait till you
see me fly. You know don't ever catch me
forest. See me fly the way I put my
finger on it. See me fly, you got it.
Then try to tell me you've got the wrong guy.
See me fly, you know you'll never catch me for it.
(16:59):
See me fly the way I put my finger on it.
See me fly, you got it. Then try to tell me you've got
the wrong guy. Look at them now, all of the
(17:24):
noise they make. Counting the carts to 1.
Queen of hearts never break. Falling asleep.
It might just take a while. Turn it to grind your teeth.
Dreaming to touch my stare. Well, I can't say I blame you.
(17:49):
Try to come close to. But all you can't Do you see the
fire? You know you'll never catch me.
Forest the way I put my finger on it.
You got it? Then try to tell me you've got
the wrong guy. See me fly.
You know you'll never catch me. Forest.
(18:13):
The way I put my finger on it. See me fly.
I got it.
(18:47):
If all this has you itching to get out and chase the weird
yourself, here's some upcoming events to pin to your haunted
cork board. July 7th through 9th.
Contact in the desert, California Ufology, CE5
workshops, sky watches, and probably at least one government
whistleblower disguised as a yoga teacher.
(19:08):
August 3rd Paranormal Festival, Kilkenny, Ireland.
Haunted castles, banshee lectures, and a ghost pub crawl
that might crawl back. Let's go to that one, Rach.
Yeah, I want to hear about the Banshees.
I know. September 14th through the 15th.
Which city? Psychic Fair, Salem MA Mediums,
(19:29):
vortex maps, and enough sage to bless the entire East Coast.
I love Salem. That's a quick.
Drive. Me Too.
October 4 through 6. Cryptozoology conference in
Portland, ME. Bigfoot panels, Thunderbird
theories, and probably a blurry photo booth.
Which one are we crashing robes or no robes?
(19:53):
OK, this one's part music lore, part ghost story, and part viral
urban legend. But it's been circulating again,
so, you know, we had to dig in. According to the tale, Michael
Jackson once left a studio microphone recording overnight
unattended, unplugged from any official session, just rolling.
(20:14):
The result? A strange 23 hour audio file.
Buried somewhere inside was a segment labeled T7.
Let me out. Oh.
Those who claim to have heard itdescribe ambient static,
mechanical whirring, and a faintbut chilling voice repeating a
single phrase. Let me.
(20:38):
Creepy. Over and over.
Some say it sounds like a child,others say it's layered.
Multiple voices phasing in and out like echoes from somewhere
that shouldn't have a mic feed. There's no official statement
from the Jackson Estate Studio. Engineers deny it ever existed.
But in the age of mystery files and haunted hard drives, it
(20:59):
won't die. Some believe it's a glitch,
Others call it an EVPA. Few even theorize it was Michael
channelling something intentionally.
Rach, if a 23 hour audio file whispered in your headphones,
would you shut it off or start asking questions?
(21:20):
I would definitely be trying to figure out who wants to be let
out. Can you say anything else?
Where are you? Have you heard these audio
files? No, I haven't.
(21:41):
I should have probably looked for it.
I just want to know how long it is before Siri becomes
possessed. Some people have had some.
Paranormal experience, I know, more so with Alexa, but yeah.
Mm hmm. And now it's time for Quote of
the Day from the beyond. It always knocked twice, once
(22:04):
for attention, the second time to let us know it was inside.
This chilling line comes from a now deleted Reddit thread under
our paranormal, posted by someone who claimed their family
experienced nightly double knocks in an old farmhouse near
the New England coast. The first knock came from the
front door. The second, five seconds later,
(22:26):
came from the hallway inside. Always 3:17 AM.
No one ever found a source. One morning, the mother found a
small handprint on the inside ofthe second floor window.
The kicker? There were no children living in
the home. Eventually, the family left.
(22:46):
The house is still unsold, listed, discounted and waiting.
Rach, if you hear that second knock, same time, same pattern.
Are you grabbing a flashlight, abaseball bat or your keys to
leave town? I guess it depends on what mood
I'm in. 317 in the morning. If I know this is happening, I
might be getting my night visioncamera in my voice recorder in
(23:12):
my Polaroid camera. So you're full on ghost hunting?
Oh, I got all the equipment. I'm good to go.
I'm good to go are. You gonna stay there and deal
with this nightly? I sleep pretty sound so it might
not be too much of a problem forme.
OK. There's things all around me.
(23:33):
I'm haunted everywhere I go. Haunted and unbothered.
Haunted and unbothered. New song by Rage.
Now it's time for listener lore.The Girl in the Mirror Box.
This one came from a listener who asked to stay anonymous, but
we'll call her L She and her husband had just moved into an
(23:55):
older farmhouse in the Midwest, the kind with a stone basement.
That's. The best kind?
While cleaning behind the water heater, they found a dusty,
ornate wooden box. Inside was a cracked hand
mirror, two baby shoes, and a yellowed note that read Do not
(24:16):
speak her name. She only hears whispers.
Naturally, horror movie logic kicked in.
They kept the box that night. Elle swore she saw some movement
in the mirror. Just a flicker, a shadow.
Her husband brushed it off untilhe woke up the next morning to
find muddy toddler size footprints on their comforter.
(24:38):
Damn ghost toddlers. They moved the box to the
garage. The garage light won't work now.
The mirror still fogs up at 2 O 3:00 AM every night.
The shoes have been found in three different places despite
being locked inside the box. They're still debating whether
to bury it or just move. OK, so you find a creepy mirror
(25:02):
box. Do you bury it, bless it, or
list it on eBay under lightly Haunted Vintage Decor?
Probably find some sort of and then Lorraine type of folk that
can have it for safekeeping in aspecial place.
Or, you know, just give to Zach Beck.
(25:23):
There you go, deal with it. I would sell it to him.
I would make a little profit offit.
Yeah, he can afford it. And now it's time for strange
tales from history. Shadow the screaming skulls of
England. For this week's stroll through
the haunted halls of history, wevisit the English countryside
(25:45):
where screaming skulls are a real thing.
Yes, skulls that if removed or disturbed, unleash terrifying
chaos. Take Betiscombe Manor and
Dorset. Legend says a skull belonging to
an enslaved man brought back from the Caribbean.
Do you say Caribbean or Caribbean rage?
I say Caribbean. OK, me too.
(26:05):
Like pirates? Of the Caribbean.
There we go. Well that was buried in
consecrated ground. Immediately storm struck, the
house shook. The family was tormented by
moans and howls until the skull was exhumed and returned to the
home. Peace followed until anyone
tried to move in again. Then there's Wardley Hall, home
(26:26):
to the skull of Saint Ambrose Barlow, a Catholic martyr
beheaded in 1641. The skull reportedly bleeds if
removed. One visitor fainted when the
walls wept red. The estate now keeps the skull
and a display case with very clear instructions.
Do not touch the prevailing belief these skulls are holding
(26:48):
spiritual contracts. Break the contract and the veil
responds with fury. Rach, if you're Airbnb listed
quiet room with a view plus one non negotiable haunted skull,
are you unpacking or reversing out of the driveway with sage in
hand? The thing I'm going to stay
maybe read a few Edgar Allan Poestories.
(27:11):
You're so brave. I think you talk a lot of shit.
I like the adrenaline rush. I don't do roller coasters.
I just got to scare the shit outof myself sometimes.
So what's the connective tissue this week?
Let's see. We've got deep sea fish
(27:33):
predicting doom, elephants who snack with purpose, haunted
teapots, ghosts photobombing castle tours, spectral children
leaving muddy prints, Adele running from a hallway phantom,
and let's not forget Michael Jackson possibly capturing an
EVP on a 23 hour loop. It's not just that the veil is
thinning, it's that reality is starting to glitch with a flair
(27:56):
for the dramatic. Honestly Rach, at this point are
we just? Are we the observers or just
extra players in someone else's paranormal DACA series called
Earth the Reckoning? I think we're here, we're doing
what we're doing, but we're coming closer and closer to the
other side. We are being able to start to
(28:19):
really play with the spirits from beyond.
Would you say hell from? The other side, that's exactly.
See, it all comes full circle. I told you it does.
(28:41):
Well, that's all for this trip beyond the Veil.
But as always, we want to know what you think.
Heard a hum? Spotted a light?
Found a cursed raccoon skull under your porch?
We're listening. Don't forget to like, subscribe,
and share with the bravest weirdo in your life.
And until next time, keep your ears tuned, your flashlight
charged, and your spirit open. Because the veil.
(29:03):
It's always thinner than you think to.
