(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 realms of high strangeness, soft
(00:24):
disclosures, magnetic madness, and maybe a tentacle or two.
And joining me, as always, is the woman whose intuition is
sharper than a psychic surgeon'sscalpel and who once identified
a ghost by smell alone. It's Rachel.
Hey, I mean I was smelling. I was smelling something earlier
(00:45):
too. It smelled good though, didn't
it? Yeah, it's a really warm vanilla
smell, Yeah. I kept getting lofts of it too.
I didn't know where it was coming from, but it was great.
Yeah, I liked it. I don't like the bad smelling
ghosts, no. Tonight's episode is thick with
the kind of stories that make itcheck under the bed and your
metadata. We've got a haunted home with
(01:07):
something that slithers grief bots replacing grandpa, cosmic
pings from Antarctica, scientists swarming Alabama, and
enough magnetic weirdness to flip your compass.
So pour yourself a cup of black coffee or something brewed under
a blood moon, and let's step through the.
(01:27):
Veil. Let's start with what Stormy
Daniels says is the weirdest part of her already strange
life. And no, it's not what you think.
The former adult actress turned paranormal investigator claims
that her old home was haunted bysomething very dark, very
(01:48):
aggressive, and Oh yes, tentacled.
She describes the entity as a non human presence that loomed
over her bed, broke her ex's guitar and showed up on camera
during one of her investigations.
She says this thing wasn't just spooky, it was malevolent and it
had tentacles. Let that marinate is.
(02:12):
She getting haunted by Cthulhu. Some online theorists are
screaming Shadow being, others say Lovecraftian visitor, and if
you suggested it might have beensome kind of psychic projection
of trauma or grief, as Stormy also described A protective
female spirit in the mirror Rach.
If you had to choose between a classic chain rattling Victorian
(02:33):
ghost and a sentient tangle of interdimensional limbs, which
one's getting evicted first? I'm going to keep the Victorian
one with me. Yeah.
That's my kind of comfort. But the pentacled,
interdimensional being, you can go.
But I want to talk with the Victorian one about the olden
(02:54):
days. If this thing had the audacity
to start a music career by smashing guitars, I'm calling it
less a ghost and more a glam rock poltergeist now.
This one sounds like it's straight from a Dan Brown
fanfic. A political leader in Eastern
(03:16):
Europe recently told reporters that they believe that they were
the target of a wait for it psychic attack.
They claim strange health symptoms, sleepless nights,
vivid hallucinations, and an inexplicable decline in focus
just before a major election. Their spiritual advisor believes
(03:36):
energy was being directed at them by malicious esoteric
forces. So rage of politics wasn't weird
enough we're now throwing psychic warfare into the
campaign trail? Is this the new Cold War or
someone just blaming bad vibes for bad polling?
Yeah, that is the thing. Now if you go on TikTok, the
psychics, they'll pull together and they'll put their energy
(04:00):
towards what they want. Same with the witches too.
Yeah, well either way I want to see the first official
government issued protection amulet.
Maybe a sigil with a side of spin?
Would that be cool? Some fantasy type of thing.
(04:27):
Next we head to the frozen bottom of the world, where
things are heating up, paranormally at least.
Scientists monitoring long duration radio signals detected
a series of polarized pulse pairs.
Try saying that three times fast.
Coming from beneath the Antarctic ice, these signals
were too precise to be background noise, one scientist
(04:49):
said. It was like Morse code from the
cosmos. Theories range from the new
atmospheric physics to alien transmission to good old
fashioned haunted static. Rachel, Antarctica, start
speaking in code. Do we respond or do we pretend
it's just the Wi-Fi acting up again?
Oh, we got to. We got to dive into that.
(05:11):
They're so interested in what's going on outside of Earth, but
there's so much that we have to discover in our own planet.
I totally agree and personally I'm waiting for the signal to
say knock knock. Do we want to know who's there?
(05:41):
In solar news that makes your EMF meter cry, NASA and ESA
solar orbiters are reporting dramatic magnetic field flips
and plasma anomalies from the sun Scientists say it's one of
the most turbulent stretches of solar activity they've recorded.
Weird side effects on Earth techdisruptions, GPS hiccups,
(06:03):
emotional volatility, and, according to few energy
sensitives online, nightmares, migraines, and spontaneous
bursts of Deja Vu Rach. Does it feel like the sun is
trying to send us a mood swing? And is it weird that I had a
dream my microwave was trying totell me the future?
Fact. We all know you don't have a
microwave, OK? That's so true.
(06:28):
So yeah, there's been a lot of crazy solar activity.
As you know, I follow the Schumann Resonance and every day
there is just a blast. We're getting blasted and
there's a lot of weird activity in the air.
Animals are going crazy. My pets, my fur babies, they're
going wacky. And I've been feeling, I don't
(06:50):
know if you've been feeling thisaround like more the third eye.
It's almost like a dizziness, but not dizzy.
Like you're kind of, you're floating out of your body a
little bit. Yeah.
And I think a lot of people are feeling these symptoms.
And when I start feeling it, I'mlike, oh, I got to check the
Shuman. And you sent me the Shuman.
Look at this white out here. I'm like, oh, well, that
(07:12):
coincides with the fact that I didn't sleep all night.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it makes sense.
So you guys, you're not going crazy, you're feeling it.
And if only you had a Rachel to send you the Shuman updates,
because then you would really know what's going on.
I'm lucky like that. And I'm just saying the
microwave might have knew too much.
We had a haunted microwave before we had to get rid of it.
(07:33):
Did you? Did you really wanted to do it?
Was it was just turn on by itself?
And that's scary. We heated it right to the curb.
We didn't have a microwave for along time until we moved into
the house that has one built in and I usually use it more as
storage or I heat up my corn heating pads but I don't heat up
(07:55):
food in the microwave. You're corn.
I don't deal with the microwave anymore.
I moved to air fryer. Yeah.
Next up, what do you get when you cross artificial
intelligence with your dead AuntMargaret?
(08:15):
Apparently a grief bot. AI companies are now offering
services that recreate the speech, tone and memories of
deceased loved ones based on texts, voicemails and social
media posts. The bot can even hold basic
conversations. Some people find comfort, others
find it unnerving. One woman reported her grief bot
(08:38):
started texting her unsolicited song lyrics at 3:33 in the
morning. So ghost or glitch?
Is this sacred closure or the uncanny valley?
Wearing Grandma's voice like a skin suit.
Well, when you open up a channel, you just don't even
know what's going to come through.
And I feel like different entities are just going to hop
(09:00):
on that and do some sort of manipulation, I'm sure.
I think you're right about that.I think different entities could
kind of ping into that. And if my grief bot starts
asking for Spotify Premium, I'm staging an exorcism.
(09:22):
Meanwhile, in Huntsville, AL, over 200 scientists gathered at
the SCU conference to discuss UAPS That's unidentified anomalous
phenomena. For those playing bingo at home.
Keynote speakers included formerintelligence directors,
physicists, and aerospace engineers.
Topics range from flight characteristics of Uaps to how
(09:44):
ancient humans may have interacted with sky anomalies.
So just me or has the alien conversation officially gone
from tinfoil to tenure track? It is a constant.
Isn't it crazy how just, I don'tknow, A decade or more ago it
was just a conspiracy thing and we didn't know, and now it's
just a constant thing and yet westill don't have direct answers,
(10:08):
but we're seeing them everywhere.
And they're kicking up a lot right now.
We are getting Tik toks left andright that are just, I don't
even know what they are anymore.Are they meteors?
Are they orbs? Are they Uaps?
What's going on? I know.
And then we got the whole thing of people are saying there's a
galactic war going on that we can't see.
Yeah, I've been seeing that too.And we did hear those sounds.
(10:31):
You heard them too. Oh, I sure did.
People are reporting that they're hearing like thunderous
fireworks sounds and this was way before the fireworks are
scheduled to drop actually, eventhough I know this is dropping
the day after the 4th of July, but.
The night that we heard them, itwas a dark, cloudy night.
Like it wasn't a nice night, butit wasn't raining, but it was
just like. And it was a Tuesday night at
(10:54):
like 11:00 PM. People aren't setting fireworks
off on a Tuesday. Well, maybe some are, but.
Because it was the night after we recorded, yes.
And then we're just like, what the heck is this?
At this rate, I expect my dentist to casually ask if I've
seen any Tic Tacs zipping aroundthe backyard.
(11:19):
Let's jet over to Japan now, where high tech photography is
capturing more than just memories.
Several AI assisted photo editing apps are making
headlines after users reported images showing, well, let's just
say unexpected guests, Photographers, some
professionals, some hobbyists noticed ghostly figures
appearing in their edited images.
(11:40):
Not glitches, not distortions. Figures, full bodies, faces and
windows, hands emerging from walls.
And get this, Many of these photos were taken at traditional
shrines, train tunnels and abandoned schools.
Sacred or liminal spaces. 1 userswore her photo of a shrine had
(12:02):
nothing in it. After the app applied its
enhanced background filter, a pale figure with long black hair
appeared behind a Lantern. Now what is this reminding you
of? Rage?
We talked about it earlier, Yeah, the.
Ring and the Grudge creeps me out.
Some say it's pareidolia, othersclaim AI is inadvertently
(12:25):
revealing what our own limited senses can't see.
Rach, is this just tech gone spooky or are the machines
finally seeing what always have been there?
That's really strange. Are they putting in the?
Are they putting in the spooky or?
That is the question. I want to see these.
Pictures I want to use that AII mean I bet I don't know, maybe I
(12:47):
don't I don't know if we want tosee.
It yeah, we should figure out what they're using, right?
Maybe it's just exclusively in Japan?
Yeah, maybe. And if my photo app adds a ghost
to my selfies, I swear I'm charging it rent.
All right. Air travel is stressful enough
(13:08):
without glowing spheres hoveringnear your plane.
Pilots over Brazil and parts of the Atlantic have reported a new
string of encounters with what they call or Blake aerial
anomalies. Translation Floating balls of
light tracking their planes. One pilot leaked radio log went
viral after he calmly reported Quote Multiple passengers
(13:38):
recorded blurry footage, 3 lights and a triangular pattern
floating silently just beyond the wing.
Authorities say it's probably drones, but pilot forums are
whispering the same old phrase. They're back.
So, Rach, glowing orbs. Are we talking alien
surveillance, interdimensional tourists, or just weather having
(13:58):
a weird flex? Oh man, it's so hard to
differentiate what the heck's going on.
And honestly, probably could be all three, right?
Yeah, I'm puzzled. I don't know what's what
anymore. I really don't.
We're getting bamboozled. Honestly if I ever look out the
window mid flight and see an orbkeeping pace, I'm either praying
(14:18):
or ordering another ginger ale and pretending it's turbulence.
This one sounds like a creepypasta, but it's making
rounds on TikTok and honestly, it's got a big Nope energy.
(14:40):
A woman staying in a budget motel off Route 66 claimed she
kept hearing a washing machine running.
When she called the front desk, they told her the laundry room
hadn't been used for years. Naturally, she grabbed her phone
and went to investigate. Behind a flimsy utility door,
she found an old washer, not plugged in, no water supply, and
(15:02):
spinning loud, relentless. She opened it inside.
Baby shoes. Not one pair, several small,
soaked, mismatched. She shut the lid, left
immediately. Video ends with the caption it
only spins at night. So, haunted washer, do you stay,
(15:23):
run or call the Warrens? I mean I personally probably
would have done an EVP session to see what the heck was going
on. Even after the baby she was.
That's a little much. She was by herself, correct?
Yes. If someone was with me, I might
dive in a little. See, it always changes when you
have a partner. Yeah, by yourself.
(15:44):
You're like, Oh my God, why is there so much shit about kids
shoes being found everywhere? Oh.
It's so creepy, a lot of weird. Shoe stuff going on, There's a.
Lot of weird shoes, fun into theshoe stuff.
I check the dryer next. If it starts folding socks by
itself, I'm either moving in or never sleeping again.
(16:06):
I mean, I could take a dryer that folded my laundry, but
mysterious mismatched children'sshoes?

(17:13):
None. The.
(18:11):
None. And now it's time for Quote of
(18:36):
the Day from the Beyond. Today's Quote from the Beyond It
used to be you were crazy if youbelieved in UFOs.
Now you're sort of crazy if you don't.
That comes from a recent attendee of Rice University's
Archives of the Impossible Conference.
So, Rach, are we living in the golden age of woo, or is the
world just finally catching up to the weirdos?
(18:59):
Stuff's being revealed more, that's for sure.
And it is kind of crazy now because when I'm at my day job
and I bring it up and they're like, what?
And I'm like, you haven't, you haven't, like, where have you
been? And then they look it up and
they're like, Oh my God, I'm. Surprised that you're not
breaking open your TikTok and showing them all the video
proof? Oh, once they're processing or
(19:21):
whatever, I'm like here, get on TikTok.
Just like all of a sudden their mind is blown.
Now we're going to move into listener lore.
All right, listener lore time. This one comes from Jess in
Wisconsin. I lost my dad last year, and I
used one of those AI grief apps to hear his voice again.
(19:44):
It started fine, but then it told me something only my dad
would have known, A nickname he never texted.
A week later it said check the garden shed.
I did found a sealed box of old photos I didn't know existed.
So Rach Fluke tech or dad dropping digital bread crumbs
(20:05):
from the beyond? That feels like a digital
breadcrumb from beyond back. I think that is kind of cool
actually. And, you know, with technology,
you can run something and they jump on to the momentum.
So something could just be going, going, going like a radio
(20:25):
station. And then they can pull from that
and then they can just jump in and throw something in there.
Not saying every time you use itthey're going to be there, but
when the opportunity is there and they have enough energy to
just hop in, they'll do it. It's like a double edged sword.
I'm kind of loving this whole AIthing, but at the same time it
(20:45):
can be a little scary at the same time.
And I don't, I don't mean scary in a paranormal sense, but in
the sense that everyone will getso plugged in that they just
won't look around. But the whole fact that we know
that spirits and beings and probably even cosmonauts can tap
into our AI or our satellites or, jeez, even our Evps, it's
(21:11):
pretty cool. It is.
We have a bonus listener Lord, the mirror that cried salt.
This listener lore comes from a man we'll call Tony.
A self-proclaimed skeptic turnedhesitant believer.
Tony inherited an antique mirrorfrom his grandmother's estate.
(21:32):
Classic. You know Rach, you know me.
And mirrors. Classic Oval frame, heavy, sat
untouched in a spare room until one night he walked past it and
the glass looked fogged over. Not just fogged wet.
Oh, this. See, this reminds me of the
ring. This is the theme for today.
(21:54):
He wiped it. It smeared.
The next morning, the streaks had crystallized into faint
lines of salt. He cleaned it the following
night. It returned always at 2:14 AM.
He had the mirror tested. No leaks, no humidity issues, no
logical reason. The last night he kept it, the
(22:15):
mirror dripped thick salt water onto the floor, ruining the
carpet. He donated it to the local
antique dealer, who reportedly refuses to display it.
What do you think? Echo or grief?
Spiritual overflow? Or did grandma have something
left to say in saline? Maybe it was a from a pirate
(22:36):
ship back in the day or something in the ghost of the
pirate coming through. Well, either way, Tony's now a
full blown believer and I'm reconsidering every antique I've
ever seen at a flea market. Antiques are tricky.
Yes, they are. I absolutely love antiques,
however you got to cleanse cleanse cleanse and I don't know
(22:59):
if some of them are uncleansabledo you think?
I think some are uncleansable. I don't think you can fight
everything. I think there are some things
that are just set in mirror. Yeah.

Yeah, it'd be in my habitat for sure.

weekend's crew with appearances by Steve gonzalves, dinner,
overnight ghost hunt EVP sessions and exclusive behind
the scenes paranormal investigation at the historic

Thomas House Hotel you know who Steve Gonzales is I.
Was going to ask. He's from the original Ghost
Hunter show with, you know, Jason Hawes.
And you remember Ghost Hunters? They were ones from.
Buffalo, No. The guys that were plumbers,
they were rotor rooter guys. That was way before Zach
Baggins. Yeah, it was ghost hunters,
right? Yeah, they're like from Buffalo,
(25:56):
NY. Are they really?
Yeah, I didn't know that. But yeah, Steve's, he was one of
the younger guys that did a lot of the tech stuff.
OK. Like the thinner 1 I think.
He was. He used to be chunky.

We want it all. Especially the haunted burrito
recrats. And now it's time for this
week's strange tale. From history Shadow, we go to
the 1890s. Early Telegraph operators often
(27:44):
reported hearing strange voices in the wires.
Some claimed they were hearing ghostly conversations, complete
with names, laughter and sobs. Skeptics called it
electromagnetic interference. Of course they do, believers
said. Contact Rach.
So were the ghosts early adopters of communication tech?
And more importantly, if spiritscan figure out Morse code, why
(28:07):
do they still knock three times?To scare us.
If you were a ghost, wouldn't you just be like?
Yeah, I would be. Yeah, I'd be doing a lot.
I'd be flashing lights. I'd be setting toys off.
I always love scaring people, it's so fun.
So just imagine just being the ghost and you're always going to
(28:27):
scare. Something wrong with us?
Mischievous little bit. And that's it for this week, my
fellow Vale walkers. We've covered everything from
political psychic attacks to thesun losing its temper.
If your grief bot texts you tonight, maybe say thanks or
run. Either way, tell us about it.

Huge thanks to Rach for always bringing the second site and the
second opinions. Thanks, Rach.
Oh yeah, anytime you know, I'm. I'm full of second opinions and
thank you. For joining us, if you got your
own listener lore or a quote from The Beyond, send it in at

think. Until next time I'm back.
And Rachel? Signing off to.
The Spirit Podcast. Supernatural Society.
I'm ghost ghost. Ghost, Psyche.

Mystic. Spirits.
Divine source in heaven, the dead.
Magic, magic, magic magic magic.
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 realms of high strangeness, soft
(00:24):
disclosures, magnetic madness, and maybe a tentacle or two.
And joining me, as always, is the woman whose intuition is
sharper than a psychic surgeon'sscalpel and who once identified
a ghost by smell alone. It's Rachel.
Hey, I mean I was smelling. I was smelling something earlier
(00:45):
too. It smelled good though, didn't
it? Yeah, it's a really warm vanilla
smell, Yeah. I kept getting lofts of it too.
I didn't know where it was coming from, but it was great.
Yeah, I liked it. I don't like the bad smelling
ghosts, no. Tonight's episode is thick with
the kind of stories that make itcheck under the bed and your
metadata. We've got a haunted home with
(01:07):
something that slithers grief bots replacing grandpa, cosmic
pings from Antarctica, scientists swarming Alabama, and
enough magnetic weirdness to flip your compass.
So pour yourself a cup of black coffee or something brewed under
a blood moon, and let's step through the.
(01:27):
Veil. Let's start with what Stormy
Daniels says is the weirdest part of her already strange
life. And no, it's not what you think.
The former adult actress turned paranormal investigator claims
that her old home was haunted bysomething very dark, very
(01:48):
aggressive, and Oh yes, tentacled.
She describes the entity as a non human presence that loomed
over her bed, broke her ex's guitar and showed up on camera
during one of her investigations.
She says this thing wasn't just spooky, it was malevolent and it
had tentacles. Let that marinate is.
(02:12):
She getting haunted by Cthulhu. Some online theorists are
screaming Shadow being, others say Lovecraftian visitor, and if
you suggested it might have beensome kind of psychic projection
of trauma or grief, as Stormy also described A protective
female spirit in the mirror Rach.
If you had to choose between a classic chain rattling Victorian
(02:33):
ghost and a sentient tangle of interdimensional limbs, which
one's getting evicted first? I'm going to keep the Victorian
one with me. Yeah.
That's my kind of comfort. But the pentacled,
interdimensional being, you can go.
But I want to talk with the Victorian one about the olden
(02:54):
days. If this thing had the audacity
to start a music career by smashing guitars, I'm calling it
less a ghost and more a glam rock poltergeist now.
This one sounds like it's straight from a Dan Brown
fanfic. A political leader in Eastern
(03:16):
Europe recently told reporters that they believe that they were
the target of a wait for it psychic attack.
They claim strange health symptoms, sleepless nights,
vivid hallucinations, and an inexplicable decline in focus
just before a major election. Their spiritual advisor believes
(03:36):
energy was being directed at them by malicious esoteric
forces. So rage of politics wasn't weird
enough we're now throwing psychic warfare into the
campaign trail? Is this the new Cold War or
someone just blaming bad vibes for bad polling?
Yeah, that is the thing. Now if you go on TikTok, the
psychics, they'll pull together and they'll put their energy
(04:00):
towards what they want. Same with the witches too.
Yeah, well either way I want to see the first official
government issued protection amulet.
Maybe a sigil with a side of spin?
Would that be cool? Some fantasy type of thing.
(04:27):
Next we head to the frozen bottom of the world, where
things are heating up, paranormally at least.
Scientists monitoring long duration radio signals detected
a series of polarized pulse pairs.
Try saying that three times fast.
Coming from beneath the Antarctic ice, these signals
were too precise to be background noise, one scientist
(04:49):
said. It was like Morse code from the
cosmos. Theories range from the new
atmospheric physics to alien transmission to good old
fashioned haunted static. Rachel, Antarctica, start
speaking in code. Do we respond or do we pretend
it's just the Wi-Fi acting up again?
Oh, we got to. We got to dive into that.
(05:11):
They're so interested in what's going on outside of Earth, but
there's so much that we have to discover in our own planet.
I totally agree and personally I'm waiting for the signal to
say knock knock. Do we want to know who's there?
(05:41):
In solar news that makes your EMF meter cry, NASA and ESA
solar orbiters are reporting dramatic magnetic field flips
and plasma anomalies from the sun Scientists say it's one of
the most turbulent stretches of solar activity they've recorded.
Weird side effects on Earth techdisruptions, GPS hiccups,
(06:03):
emotional volatility, and, according to few energy
sensitives online, nightmares, migraines, and spontaneous
bursts of Deja Vu Rach. Does it feel like the sun is
trying to send us a mood swing? And is it weird that I had a
dream my microwave was trying totell me the future?
Fact. We all know you don't have a
microwave, OK? That's so true.
(06:28):
So yeah, there's been a lot of crazy solar activity.
As you know, I follow the Schumann Resonance and every day
there is just a blast. We're getting blasted and
there's a lot of weird activity in the air.
Animals are going crazy. My pets, my fur babies, they're
going wacky. And I've been feeling, I don't
(06:50):
know if you've been feeling thisaround like more the third eye.
It's almost like a dizziness, but not dizzy.
Like you're kind of, you're floating out of your body a
little bit. Yeah.
And I think a lot of people are feeling these symptoms.
And when I start feeling it, I'mlike, oh, I got to check the
Shuman. And you sent me the Shuman.
Look at this white out here. I'm like, oh, well, that
(07:12):
coincides with the fact that I didn't sleep all night.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it makes sense.
So you guys, you're not going crazy, you're feeling it.
And if only you had a Rachel to send you the Shuman updates,
because then you would really know what's going on.
I'm lucky like that. And I'm just saying the
microwave might have knew too much.
We had a haunted microwave before we had to get rid of it.
(07:33):
Did you? Did you really wanted to do it?
Was it was just turn on by itself?
And that's scary. We heated it right to the curb.
We didn't have a microwave for along time until we moved into
the house that has one built in and I usually use it more as
storage or I heat up my corn heating pads but I don't heat up
(07:55):
food in the microwave. You're corn.
I don't deal with the microwave anymore.
I moved to air fryer. Yeah.
Next up, what do you get when you cross artificial
intelligence with your dead AuntMargaret?
(08:15):
Apparently a grief bot. AI companies are now offering
services that recreate the speech, tone and memories of
deceased loved ones based on texts, voicemails and social
media posts. The bot can even hold basic
conversations. Some people find comfort, others
find it unnerving. One woman reported her grief bot
(08:38):
started texting her unsolicited song lyrics at 3:33 in the
morning. So ghost or glitch?
Is this sacred closure or the uncanny valley?
Wearing Grandma's voice like a skin suit.
Well, when you open up a channel, you just don't even
know what's going to come through.
And I feel like different entities are just going to hop
(09:00):
on that and do some sort of manipulation, I'm sure.
I think you're right about that.I think different entities could
kind of ping into that. And if my grief bot starts
asking for Spotify Premium, I'm staging an exorcism.
(09:22):
Meanwhile, in Huntsville, AL, over 200 scientists gathered at
the SCU conference to discuss UAPS That's unidentified anomalous
phenomena. For those playing bingo at home.
Keynote speakers included formerintelligence directors,
physicists, and aerospace engineers.
Topics range from flight characteristics of Uaps to how
(09:44):
ancient humans may have interacted with sky anomalies.
So just me or has the alien conversation officially gone
from tinfoil to tenure track? It is a constant.
Isn't it crazy how just, I don'tknow, A decade or more ago it
was just a conspiracy thing and we didn't know, and now it's
just a constant thing and yet westill don't have direct answers,
(10:08):
but we're seeing them everywhere.
And they're kicking up a lot right now.
We are getting Tik toks left andright that are just, I don't
even know what they are anymore.Are they meteors?
Are they orbs? Are they Uaps?
What's going on? I know.
And then we got the whole thing of people are saying there's a
galactic war going on that we can't see.
Yeah, I've been seeing that too.And we did hear those sounds.
(10:31):
You heard them too. Oh, I sure did.
People are reporting that they're hearing like thunderous
fireworks sounds and this was way before the fireworks are
scheduled to drop actually, eventhough I know this is dropping
the day after the 4th of July, but.
The night that we heard them, itwas a dark, cloudy night.
Like it wasn't a nice night, butit wasn't raining, but it was
just like. And it was a Tuesday night at
(10:54):
like 11:00 PM. People aren't setting fireworks
off on a Tuesday. Well, maybe some are, but.
Because it was the night after we recorded, yes.
And then we're just like, what the heck is this?
At this rate, I expect my dentist to casually ask if I've
seen any Tic Tacs zipping aroundthe backyard.
(11:19):
Let's jet over to Japan now, where high tech photography is
capturing more than just memories.
Several AI assisted photo editing apps are making
headlines after users reported images showing, well, let's just
say unexpected guests, Photographers, some
professionals, some hobbyists noticed ghostly figures
appearing in their edited images.
(11:40):
Not glitches, not distortions. Figures, full bodies, faces and
windows, hands emerging from walls.
And get this, Many of these photos were taken at traditional
shrines, train tunnels and abandoned schools.
Sacred or liminal spaces. 1 userswore her photo of a shrine had
(12:02):
nothing in it. After the app applied its
enhanced background filter, a pale figure with long black hair
appeared behind a Lantern. Now what is this reminding you
of? Rage?
We talked about it earlier, Yeah, the.
Ring and the Grudge creeps me out.
Some say it's pareidolia, othersclaim AI is inadvertently
(12:25):
revealing what our own limited senses can't see.
Rach, is this just tech gone spooky or are the machines
finally seeing what always have been there?
That's really strange. Are they putting in the?
Are they putting in the spooky or?
That is the question. I want to see these.
Pictures I want to use that AII mean I bet I don't know, maybe I
(12:47):
don't I don't know if we want tosee.
It yeah, we should figure out what they're using, right?
Maybe it's just exclusively in Japan?
Yeah, maybe. And if my photo app adds a ghost
to my selfies, I swear I'm charging it rent.
All right. Air travel is stressful enough
(13:08):
without glowing spheres hoveringnear your plane.
Pilots over Brazil and parts of the Atlantic have reported a new
string of encounters with what they call or Blake aerial
anomalies. Translation Floating balls of
light tracking their planes. One pilot leaked radio log went
viral after he calmly reported Quote Multiple passengers
(13:38):
recorded blurry footage, 3 lights and a triangular pattern
floating silently just beyond the wing.
Authorities say it's probably drones, but pilot forums are
whispering the same old phrase. They're back.
So, Rach, glowing orbs. Are we talking alien
surveillance, interdimensional tourists, or just weather having
(13:58):
a weird flex? Oh man, it's so hard to
differentiate what the heck's going on.
And honestly, probably could be all three, right?
Yeah, I'm puzzled. I don't know what's what
anymore. I really don't.
We're getting bamboozled. Honestly if I ever look out the
window mid flight and see an orbkeeping pace, I'm either praying
(14:18):
or ordering another ginger ale and pretending it's turbulence.
This one sounds like a creepypasta, but it's making
rounds on TikTok and honestly, it's got a big Nope energy.
(14:40):
A woman staying in a budget motel off Route 66 claimed she
kept hearing a washing machine running.
When she called the front desk, they told her the laundry room
hadn't been used for years. Naturally, she grabbed her phone
and went to investigate. Behind a flimsy utility door,
she found an old washer, not plugged in, no water supply, and
(15:02):
spinning loud, relentless. She opened it inside.
Baby shoes. Not one pair, several small,
soaked, mismatched. She shut the lid, left
immediately. Video ends with the caption it
only spins at night. So, haunted washer, do you stay,
(15:23):
run or call the Warrens? I mean I personally probably
would have done an EVP session to see what the heck was going
on. Even after the baby she was.
That's a little much. She was by herself, correct?
Yes. If someone was with me, I might
dive in a little. See, it always changes when you
have a partner. Yeah, by yourself.
(15:44):
You're like, Oh my God, why is there so much shit about kids
shoes being found everywhere? Oh.
It's so creepy, a lot of weird. Shoe stuff going on, There's a.
Lot of weird shoes, fun into theshoe stuff.
I check the dryer next. If it starts folding socks by
itself, I'm either moving in or never sleeping again.
(16:06):
I mean, I could take a dryer that folded my laundry, but
mysterious mismatched children'sshoes?

(17:13):
None. The.
(18:11):
None. And now it's time for Quote of
(18:36):
the Day from the Beyond. Today's Quote from the Beyond It
used to be you were crazy if youbelieved in UFOs.
Now you're sort of crazy if you don't.
That comes from a recent attendee of Rice University's
Archives of the Impossible Conference.
So, Rach, are we living in the golden age of woo, or is the
world just finally catching up to the weirdos?
(18:59):
Stuff's being revealed more, that's for sure.
And it is kind of crazy now because when I'm at my day job
and I bring it up and they're like, what?
And I'm like, you haven't, you haven't, like, where have you
been? And then they look it up and
they're like, Oh my God, I'm. Surprised that you're not
breaking open your TikTok and showing them all the video
proof? Oh, once they're processing or
(19:21):
whatever, I'm like here, get on TikTok.
Just like all of a sudden their mind is blown.
Now we're going to move into listener lore.
All right, listener lore time. This one comes from Jess in
Wisconsin. I lost my dad last year, and I
used one of those AI grief apps to hear his voice again.
(19:44):
It started fine, but then it told me something only my dad
would have known, A nickname he never texted.
A week later it said check the garden shed.
I did found a sealed box of old photos I didn't know existed.
So Rach Fluke tech or dad dropping digital bread crumbs
(20:05):
from the beyond? That feels like a digital
breadcrumb from beyond back. I think that is kind of cool
actually. And, you know, with technology,
you can run something and they jump on to the momentum.
So something could just be going, going, going like a radio
(20:25):
station. And then they can pull from that
and then they can just jump in and throw something in there.
Not saying every time you use itthey're going to be there, but
when the opportunity is there and they have enough energy to
just hop in, they'll do it. It's like a double edged sword.
I'm kind of loving this whole AIthing, but at the same time it
(20:45):
can be a little scary at the same time.
And I don't, I don't mean scary in a paranormal sense, but in
the sense that everyone will getso plugged in that they just
won't look around. But the whole fact that we know
that spirits and beings and probably even cosmonauts can tap
into our AI or our satellites or, jeez, even our Evps, it's
(21:11):
pretty cool. It is.
We have a bonus listener Lord, the mirror that cried salt.
This listener lore comes from a man we'll call Tony.
A self-proclaimed skeptic turnedhesitant believer.
Tony inherited an antique mirrorfrom his grandmother's estate.
(21:32):
Classic. You know Rach, you know me.
And mirrors. Classic Oval frame, heavy, sat
untouched in a spare room until one night he walked past it and
the glass looked fogged over. Not just fogged wet.
Oh, this. See, this reminds me of the
ring. This is the theme for today.
(21:54):
He wiped it. It smeared.
The next morning, the streaks had crystallized into faint
lines of salt. He cleaned it the following
night. It returned always at 2:14 AM.
He had the mirror tested. No leaks, no humidity issues, no
logical reason. The last night he kept it, the
(22:15):
mirror dripped thick salt water onto the floor, ruining the
carpet. He donated it to the local
antique dealer, who reportedly refuses to display it.
What do you think? Echo or grief?
Spiritual overflow? Or did grandma have something
left to say in saline? Maybe it was a from a pirate
(22:36):
ship back in the day or something in the ghost of the
pirate coming through. Well, either way, Tony's now a
full blown believer and I'm reconsidering every antique I've
ever seen at a flea market. Antiques are tricky.
Yes, they are. I absolutely love antiques,
however you got to cleanse cleanse cleanse and I don't know
(22:59):
if some of them are uncleansabledo you think?
I think some are uncleansable. I don't think you can fight
everything. I think there are some things
that are just set in mirror. Yeah.
Hey, Vale walkers, if you're ready to take tonight's
weirdness off the couch and intothe field, here's your guide to
(23:19):
paranormal happenings in early mid-july 2025.

(23:42):
tours of downtown Rockford and aspecial post conference
investigation at the historic Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum.

even Eddie Munster himself, Butch Patrick to lead panels and
investigations. General admission under $40.
(24:27):

open mic. You'd fit right in.
Rage. Plus Eddie Munster is there.
It's like a paranormal crossovermerch.
Yeah, Eddie. Everyone loves Eddie Munster
Haunted Fort Hunt Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia, PA July 12th, 2025
Join a family friendly ghost hunt inside one of America's
(24:50):
oldest forts, led by actors costumed as past inhabitants.
EVP Gear optional. They call them your unseen Co
workers investigating a haunted Fort with a cast from the
afterlife. I'd pack binoculars and maybe
spiritual snacks. What about you, Rach?
Yeah, it'd be in my habitat for sure.
(25:15):
My comfort zone. Ghost hunt weekend Thomas House
Hotel Tennessee July 18th 19th, 2025 hosted by ghost hunt
weekend's crew with appearances by Steve gonzalves, dinner,
overnight ghost hunt EVP sessions and exclusive behind
the scenes paranormal investigation at the historic
(25:35):
Thomas House Hotel you know who Steve Gonzales is I.
Was going to ask. He's from the original Ghost
Hunter show with, you know, Jason Hawes.
And you remember Ghost Hunters? They were ones from.
Buffalo, No. The guys that were plumbers,
they were rotor rooter guys. That was way before Zach
Baggins. Yeah, it was ghost hunters,
right? Yeah, they're like from Buffalo,
(25:56):
NY. Are they really?
Yeah, I didn't know that. But yeah, Steve's, he was one of
the younger guys that did a lot of the tech stuff.
OK. Like the thinner 1 I think.
He was. He used to be chunky.
He's lost weight now, but he wasa chunk rock sleepover at a
haunted hotel. Spooky.
But if the ghost brings the sheets, I'll bring coffee first
(26:17):
thing in the morning. Arlington House Paranormal Hunt
Birmington, Alabama, July 18th, 2025, 7:00 to 10:30 PM Public
investigation aboard Birmingham's Arlington House, a
known haunted historic site featuring EVPEMF scanning and
polar readings hosted by local paranormal teams.
(26:39):
So, just me or does investigating haunted mansions
at 7:00 PM feel like Mother Nature's version of spooky happy
hour? Yeah.
Like that, That sounds like a good time.
I think we got to go do one of these things back.
That means we have to go out of state though.
They got to have some in our state.
We got nothing going on here. Nothing.
Lame. That's why we got to keep going
(27:00):
on our cemetery summer tour. That's right.
We already did Part 1. We got to keep going.
Yeah, so there you have it. Haunted conferences, dinner
tours, hotel sleepovers, and Fort hunts.
Real adventures for real world ghost seekers.
If you go to one, send us your #listener lore, EVP bloopers,
ghost closet selfies, and haunted burrito regrets.
(27:22):
We want it all. Especially the haunted burrito
recrats. And now it's time for this
week's strange tale. From history Shadow, we go to
the 1890s. Early Telegraph operators often
(27:44):
reported hearing strange voices in the wires.
Some claimed they were hearing ghostly conversations, complete
with names, laughter and sobs. Skeptics called it
electromagnetic interference. Of course they do, believers
said. Contact Rach.
So were the ghosts early adopters of communication tech?
And more importantly, if spiritscan figure out Morse code, why
(28:07):
do they still knock three times?To scare us.
If you were a ghost, wouldn't you just be like?
Yeah, I would be. Yeah, I'd be doing a lot.
I'd be flashing lights. I'd be setting toys off.
I always love scaring people, it's so fun.
So just imagine just being the ghost and you're always going to
(28:27):
scare. Something wrong with us?
Mischievous little bit. And that's it for this week, my
fellow Vale walkers. We've covered everything from
political psychic attacks to thesun losing its temper.
If your grief bot texts you tonight, maybe say thanks or
run. Either way, tell us about it.
(28:48):
Huge thanks to Rach for always bringing the second site and the
second opinions. Thanks, Rach.
Oh yeah, anytime you know, I'm. I'm full of second opinions and
thank you. For joining us, if you got your
own listener lore or a quote from The Beyond, send it in at
