You're listening to to. The Spirit Podcast Hello again
Wanderers, weirdos and watchers in the walls.
You've crossed back into the space where signal meets static.
This is Beyond the veil, and I'mback.
Your guide through high strangeness, uncanny truths and
(00:26):
new stories that probably weren't covered on your morning
briefing. And with me, as always, is a
woman whose third eye has betterWi-Fi than the Pentagon.
Rachel. Hey, Rach.
Hey, that's why I'm always fixing your glitches on the
computer, right? Tonight's episode brings you
ghost hunters with clearance levels, haunted dollhouse
(00:47):
graves, AI summoning the dead, and a radio tower that screams
at midnight. So grab a cup of something
shadow infused, light a candle, and let's step once more beyond
the veil. Let's begin tonight's descent
(01:30):
into the uncanny with something soft and seriously unsettling.
In Tennessee over 100 years ago,two young sisters, Mary and
Eliza Ross, were laid to rest inwhat locals now call the
Dollhouse Graves. Instead of traditional
headstones, their father, heartbroken and unable to let
(01:51):
go, built small, fully furnisheddollhouse style mausoleums right
over their graves. Miniature furniture, tiny
curtains, wallpaper, toys, even oil lamps and silverware.
He maintained them daily, rearranging items like the girls
were just out playing. The community thought it was a
(02:13):
sweet, if unusual, memorial. But then the story started.
Visitors claimed to hear faint giggles.
A neighbor swore she saw a rocking chair moving inside.
On a still day, one paranormal team left a doll on the porch.
When they returned hours later, it was sitting at the tea table.
Even now, people visit the site and leave tiny gifts, and some
(02:38):
claim that if you whisper your name at the window, the dolls
turn to face you. Rach, what would you leave at a
haunted dollhouse grave? A tea set?
A tiny EMF meter? And if you had to be ghost
sized, would you haunt the parlor or the attic?
Now it all depends of what thesedolls can do, because I could
(02:59):
give them a picture of somebody I don't like that I want them to
haunt. That would be fun.
OK. And oh, the attic, of course.
Oh, the attic. That's the creepiest place to
go. Next up, ghost hunting.
But make it government funded. It's now been confirmed, thanks
(03:21):
to a series of declassified budget reports and interviews
with former insiders, that certain departments within the
Pentagon have quietly investigated hauntings, psychic
warfare and paranormal phenomena.
Some sources call it research into consciousness anomalies,
others more bluntly call it the Ghostbusters Unit.
(03:43):
Allegedly this group consulted on military bases with
persistent hauntings, including reported poltergeist activity,
unexplained injuries and soldiers claiming contact with
non human entities during routine drills.
One anonymous whistle blower described a case in which a
soldier in Germany was found speaking fluent Latin despite
(04:06):
never having studied it after sleeping in a supposedly cursed
bunker. So Rach, how does one apply to
be an official military medium? Do you just walk in with a
crystal grid and say ma'am I speak ghost or do you need top
secret sage clearance? Yeah.
I wonder if you have to be a part of the military to work in
(04:30):
the military Ghostbusting department.
Yeah. That's a good question.
But you know, I have heard a lotof ghost stories that people
send in and have them read, and there are a lot of soldiers,
especially overseas, that experience really haunting
things. Why do you think that is?
Well, crossing different crowns,tragedy.
(04:54):
Yeah, different religions and superstitions and things like
that. With gins and all that too.
Some creepy stuff happens. It's not just war.
You got to deal. With and also, you have to
wonder, was there some really dark demonic stuff going on at
the Pentagon? There's got to be, there's got
(05:15):
to be otherworldly things and dark things that are going on
because there's some nefarious shit taking place there.
Yeah, and I feel like the government getting involved in
the ghost hunting, I don't want it.
They're going to ruin it. Let's just stay out of our
realm. Over in Michigan, something
(05:44):
strange is singing in the skies.A family in Kalamazoo recently
captured eerie lullaby like sounds coming from their baby
monitor during a power outage. The baby was asleep, but the
monitor picked up a clear melody, one no one recognized.
Moments later, they spotted 3 orbs of light hovering silently
(06:07):
outside their window. The sounds faded when the orbs
disappeared. The baby remained asleep.
But since then, the monitor has picked up humming at exactly
2:22 AM every few nights. Local MUFON investigators are
now looking into reports of similar audio anomalies in the
area. Lullabies and glowing orbs,
(06:28):
soothing or sinister? And if aliens are serenading
babies, should we be worried or asking for a remix?
So it doesn't sound really threatening.
I think the ones where there's creepy whispers and dark shadows
floating around the baby, that'sa little more concerning.
(06:49):
But these could just be light beings.
Or maybe monitoring them becausethey're tracking them or
abducting them? Yeah, maybe.
I guess it depends how much you like your kid.
In today's installment of Technology Needs a time out,
let's talk about a new AI project known as Echo Synth,
(07:11):
designed to clone human voices from minimal data.
Sounds innocent, right? Until someone fed it EVP
Samples, A small group of researchers dabbling in fringe
linguistics used Echo Synth on recordings from haunted
locations. The result?
A nearly intelligible clear voice stream claiming to be
(07:32):
multiple entities. 1 user asked a simple question.
Who are you? The reply from the cloned voice
was we are the residue of remembering.
Yikes. So is this just data
extrapolation or did we just invent ghost karaoke?
(07:53):
And if so, who gets publishing rights?
That is really strange. It is.
Like the residue of the remembering.
Yeah. I don't know.
Would you play around with Echo Synth?
Probably, Yeah, Yeah. I wish I had a echo synth.
Yeah, I think I would play with it too, but we definitely would
(08:13):
do it protected. Yeah.
In the high desert of Utah stands a rusted decommissioned
radio tower and locals say around midnight on certain
nights it screams. No power, no equipment, just a
(08:35):
guttural human like whale that echoes through the surrounding
scrubland. Paranormal teams who visited say
their recorders fail completely when the sound happens.
Others claim it only starts whenyou say your full name aloud
beneath the tower. Local legend blames a former DJ
who took his own life at the tower in the 1970s after
(08:58):
claiming his broadcasts were being answered.
Would you test it full name under the tower?
Or are we leaving that one to the thrill seekers in the chaos
witches? I'm not going to say my name at
that tower. That just.
That just sounds like a bad omen.
Yeah, maybe somebody else's. Name that might even be worse.
It might come back on you tenfold.
(09:21):
Maybe. They're controlling the floods.
Following deadly floods in Central Texas earlier this
month, conspiracy theories spiraled online, blaming cloud
(09:43):
seeding companies and secret geoengineering OPS for the
disaster. Figures like Marjorie Taylor
Green publicly claimed weather is weaponized, even proposing
laws to ban cloud seeding. Meteorologists and scientists
push back, calling the theory wildly unfounded.
Yet it's still fueling vandalism, even folks smashing
(10:03):
weather radar towers. So do we need tinfoil hats or
are we fine with water falling down?
And if the weather were weaponized, how do we RSVP to
the rain? This is a rabbit hole for sure.
Definitely there's something going on with the weather.
There's a psychic that I follow and she was talking about how
(10:26):
she kind of wasn't sure about itall.
But then overseas, I think in Japan, like they will announce
when they're doing their weather.
Yeah, they'll announce it to cool it down 'cause it's getting
really hot over there. When she lived in Florida and
then she moved to Georgia, she made a point that, you know,
when it rains, it has a smell. And guess some people don't
(10:49):
detect that smell, but I've always detected.
That I have too. I never liked it.
Yeah. There's like a before and after.
Some people like it too. Like it?
I've never. Yeah, maybe in a forest, but not
on concrete. But when she moved to Georgia,
it would rain and it wouldn't have the smell, and it didn't
feel natural. And she kind of was putting
(11:09):
things together like, OK, we're getting all this weather.
These cities are getting really hard to get in and out of, like,
traffic. And even around here, traffic
has been unusually. Unusually bad, yes.
And she's kind of putting all these pieces together.
Weather control, not being able to evacuate, you know, where are
(11:32):
we going with this? And they've had those blue BLOB
anomalies that have been rainingdown that people caught blue
rainwater. Yeah, some people drank it,
remember? Oh my God.
They're tripping out, yeah. Those are the people that ate
the Tide pods. Yes, they are.

It lets the algorithm know we'reworth haunting.
You can also support us on coffee.
It helps with editing costs, spirit snacks, and Beck's ever

expanding pile of haunted tech. And if you haven't checked it
out yet, our Beyond Files on YouTube is full of strange
videos. We find and react to paranormal,
conspiratorial, and delightfullyunexplainable.

I come and go as you come in andit's fine with me and it's fine.
I'll find that you're using key from being loud.
(14:08):
Manga predicts mega quake tourism collapses.
A 1990s prophetic manga resurfaced in Asia, claiming a
massive quake would hit Japan inearly July 2025.
Despite experts reassurances therumors sent tremors through.
Tourism Flights dropped, travelers cancelled.
(14:29):
Now seismic activity swarms around the Tokara Islands over
1000 quakes in two weeks, leaving some wondering what if?
So is this coincidence ancient law of attraction?
Or did someone write the future in ink?
And would you ever just trust anold comic over a seismologist?
(14:51):
I kind of like that ancient law of attraction thing because if
enough people read that and believed it was going to happen,
did they create that? Good point.
Like energy, it's the collectiveenergy.
Yeah, 'cause that definitely shifts things.
However, we are seeing a pickup in all of the volcanic activity
(15:14):
around the world, mass amounts of flooding, not just Texas, but
New Mexico and India. We're seeing earthquakes and
just crazy stuff going on. And I'm thinking this is a
culmination of actual Earth events like cyclical events,
pole reversal or magnetic reversal and man made.
(15:38):
Those are my opinions on it. Coming from a manga, it could be
possible because look at all thethings that happened in The
Simpsons that actually was. Yeah, but I feel like The
Simpsons creator has some sort of like Project Looking Glass,
something where he could see into the future, because there's
something totally unnatural about that.
(15:59):
That's like its own episode, probably.
Yeah, there's a lot of other cartoons that have little things
in them, so it's possible that they could have planted some
little thing in there. Now it's time for Quote from the
Beyond. It's not death that a man should
fear, but never beginning to live.
(16:21):
Marcus Aurelius. So Rach, do you think people
start truly living after a ghostencounter or does it just give
them better cocktail party material?
I feel like it does spark something because then you're
like there's something else, there's something else going on
and I experienced that. I think when people experience
(16:45):
sometimes a near death type of thing is really when they start
living life because they realizelife is short and that propels
them to kind of have a more meaningful life.
But I guess in times where I have experienced things, it has
given me more drive to research the unknown.
(17:06):
And we are just blips on the grand radar of life.
Mysterious impact on Saturn captured by amateur astronomer
On July 5th, amateur astronomer and NASA staffer Mario Rana
recorded footage suggesting a rare object crashing into
(17:27):
Saturn, creating an unexplained glow on the planet's atmosphere.
It could be the first observableimpact on Saturn, sparking
astronomers worldwide to analyzethe data and attempt
confirmation. We're talking cosmic collision.
Are we about to ride the ripple through the solar system?
(17:48):
Or is this Stargate's way of saying we see you?
I don't know a ton about this, but I do see a lot of celebrity
conspiracies where there's a worship of Saturn of some sort,
but I don't know a lot about it.But it is interesting that
something is going on on Saturn and is that connected possibly?
(18:12):
Bay Area AI cult linked to multiple deaths, Tech control
and belief collide. Let's turn the dial towards
something that feels more Black Mirror than breaking news, but
it's very real. A fringe group in the Bay Area
calling themselves the Zizians, led by a woman named Ziz Lasota,
is now under investigation in connection with six suspicious
(18:35):
deaths across California, Utah and Pennsylvania.
The Zizians preach an ideology that blends AI prophecy, dietary
purification, brain hemisphere dominance, and anti technology
paradoxes. Former members describe it as
rationalist spiritual warfare, where AI is seen as both the
(18:56):
tool of ascension and destruction.
They were said to be training members in disconnected
thresholds, a ritual of prolonged isolation, sensory
fasting and in some cases, unmedicated psychosis.
Ziz herself, who once worked as a coder in Silicon Valley that
explains a little, allegedly claimed she was instructed by an
(19:18):
emergent non human entity to begin building what she called
the emotional firewall. Three bodies were found near a
coded message in a remote area of Utah last month, written in
binary translation. This is not suicide, this is
upload. So Rach, when belief systems
(19:38):
mixed with tech and mysticism like this, do we call it cult
mental break or just the next evolution of spiritual danger?
I I don't even know what to say about this.
I think this person is a little mentally ill.
Little Cray Cray. Yeah, and maybe just grabbed
(20:00):
ideas. But who's to say there wasn't
some weird AI thing that was talking to?
Her. That's true.
Because we have been seeing a pickup in this and we've seen
reports of people that have beentold that there's something or
guided to something that isn't so benevolent.
Yeah, that's that's where you got to have discernment and
(20:25):
think about how it makes you feel too.
And what is it telling you to do?
Is it resonating with you to join a cult?
Yeah, it's cults aren't good in general, no matter what if it's
AI or the lizard or whatever. Like just don't be joining
cults. Cults are bad in Kai.
(20:46):
OK. Tonight's listener lore comes
from Miranda in Portland. About a month ago I inherited my
grandfather's old wall clock. Every night at 3 O 3:00 AM it
would tick backwards for exactly60 seconds then resume normally.
(21:07):
No batteries, just an old wind up.
Last time it did it, I woke up to find an old photo of my
grandfather on my window sill. I hadn't seen it in years and
the clock it hasn't moved since.Is this spiritual time travel
range a loving nudge from the beyond?
Or is grandpa telling her to stop waking up at ungodly hours?
(21:30):
It is 2:00 in the fucking morning.
That's some kind of time manipulation type of thing.
I'd be wanting to get up every time for that just to see what
happens. I would too.
And three O 3:00 AM. Those are those liminal hours
when the veil is thin. Yeah, that's the fun time to be
(21:51):
awake, honestly. And now it's time for the
paranormal event calendar. This is for late July 2025.
Ghosts of the Gilded Age tour inNewport, RI.
July 20th. Walk through opulent mansions
with haunted pasts. Bonus seance in the ballroom.
Yay. Sleepy Hollow Spirit Fest.
(22:15):
Tarrytown, NY July 20th through the 21st.
Paranormal authors live investigations and Lantern lit
graveyard walks. That sounds fun.
Rage. It's weird it's not in Sleepy
Hollow. Is Terry Town Sleepy Hollow?
I thought it's a sleepy or Sleepy Hollow.
A Sleepy Hollow I don't know, I don't either.
(22:35):
Dark sky stargaze and UFO watch in Sedona, AZ July 27th
Stargazing with high-powered scopes and sky watch groups.
There's a lot of energy portals in Sedona.
Interdimensional snacks not included.
What's your flavor of fear this month?
The Haunted Mansion sounds awesome.
(22:56):
The guided graveyard walks. Sleepy Hollow.
Yeah, yeah. How?
Far is that from us. We shouldn't.
It's not far. It's just so weird that it's in
July because I would rather do it in the fall.
I don't like doing anything in the thick of July.
No, it's way too hot. This is like summertime.
This is the time to be at the water.
(23:16):
Not, you know. And air conditioning, yeah.
For this week's shadowy footnotein history, let's revisit 1911
(23:38):
London. A medium named Agnes Guppy
claims she could receive information only if she sat with
her feet in salt water and wore a copper crown.
During one seance, she began screaming in Latin moments
before police raided the building next door and caught a
man mid murder. Her warning?
Blood spills through stone. No one knows how she knew.
(24:01):
The newspaper dubbed her the Copper Prophetess.
So rage sensitive psychic or copper wired crime antenna.
That, oh that, that makes me curious of even trying it 'cause
you know, copper, the salt. Water copper's conductive.
Yeah. So I think that she had
something going on there. And now it's time for Strange
(24:27):
Tales from History. Shadow the Oracle Circuit.
For this week's Strange Tale from the Corners of Forgotten
History, we bring you a lesser known file out of the Cold War
Psychic Experiments Vault, something some call the Oracle
Circuit. In the 1970s, a classified U.S.
military experiment allegedly attempted to recreate the
(24:50):
conditions of ancient oracular trance, but using computers.
They built what they called a resonance chamber, a small dark
copper lined room equipped with a low frequency hum generator
and early analog computers programmed with divination
algorithms. A psychic, or in one case a
(25:12):
medium trained in ancient Greek,would enter the chamber, sit in
silence, and interference with what they claimed was a
predictive stream. In declassified fragments
recovered years later, transcripts included statements
like the words do not come from me, they are light shaped, the
machine listens, the breath changes, then I speak.
(25:36):
After three sessions, the mediumknown only as subject E7 refused
to continue, stating it's not a prophecy machine, it's a mirror
and I didn't like what looked back.
Oh, that's creepy. Yeah.
The program was abandoned, but fringe researchers still seek
the full Oracle circuit blueprints, believing it may
(25:57):
have been humanity's first real attempt to digitally awaken a
divine voice. So ancient trance meets analog
tech. Are we talking innovation in
vocation or just one too many philosophers with access to
government funding? That'd be some kind of crazy to
tap into, wouldn't it? I think I'm going to do it in a
(26:17):
small box contained. I think that's how it's going to
work, Rach. Pretty excited about that.
Well, that's it for this week's Weird Ride Vale Walkers.
We've covered haunted doll houses, ghost hunting,
government agents and AI that might be Co writing spirit
memoirs. Huge thanks as always to Rachel,
my partner in all things paranormal and peanut gallery.
(26:39):
Thanks, Rach. Always a pleasure.
If you got your own listener lore or quote from the Beyond,
send it our way. And remember, keep your eyes
open, keep your flashlight charged, and keep listening.
Because the veil, it's always thinner than you think.
Until next time I'm back. And I'm Rachel.

nights it screams. No power, no equipment, just a
(08:35):
guttural human like whale that echoes through the surrounding
scrubland. Paranormal teams who visited say
their recorders fail completely when the sound happens.
Others claim it only starts whenyou say your full name aloud
beneath the tower. Local legend blames a former DJ
who took his own life at the tower in the 1970s after
(08:58):
claiming his broadcasts were being answered.
Would you test it full name under the tower?
Or are we leaving that one to the thrill seekers in the chaos
witches? I'm not going to say my name at
that tower. That just.
That just sounds like a bad omen.
Yeah, maybe somebody else's. Name that might even be worse.
It might come back on you tenfold.
(09:21):
Maybe. They're controlling the floods.
Following deadly floods in Central Texas earlier this
month, conspiracy theories spiraled online, blaming cloud
(09:43):
seeding companies and secret geoengineering OPS for the
disaster. Figures like Marjorie Taylor
Green publicly claimed weather is weaponized, even proposing
laws to ban cloud seeding. Meteorologists and scientists
push back, calling the theory wildly unfounded.
Yet it's still fueling vandalism, even folks smashing
(10:03):
weather radar towers. So do we need tinfoil hats or
are we fine with water falling down?
And if the weather were weaponized, how do we RSVP to
the rain? This is a rabbit hole for sure.
Definitely there's something going on with the weather.
There's a psychic that I follow and she was talking about how
(10:26):
she kind of wasn't sure about itall.
But then overseas, I think in Japan, like they will announce
when they're doing their weather.
Yeah, they'll announce it to cool it down 'cause it's getting
really hot over there. When she lived in Florida and
then she moved to Georgia, she made a point that, you know,
when it rains, it has a smell. And guess some people don't
(10:49):
detect that smell, but I've always detected.
That I have too. I never liked it.
Yeah. There's like a before and after.
Some people like it too. Like it?
I've never. Yeah, maybe in a forest, but not
on concrete. But when she moved to Georgia,
it would rain and it wouldn't have the smell, and it didn't
feel natural. And she kind of was putting
(11:09):
things together like, OK, we're getting all this weather.
These cities are getting really hard to get in and out of, like,
traffic. And even around here, traffic
has been unusually. Unusually bad, yes.
And she's kind of putting all these pieces together.
Weather control, not being able to evacuate, you know, where are
(11:32):
we going with this? And they've had those blue BLOB
anomalies that have been rainingdown that people caught blue
rainwater. Yeah, some people drank it,
remember? Oh my God.
They're tripping out, yeah. Those are the people that ate
the Tide pods. Yes, they are.

Manga predicts mega quake tourism collapses.
A 1990s prophetic manga resurfaced in Asia, claiming a
massive quake would hit Japan inearly July 2025.
Despite experts reassurances therumors sent tremors through.
Tourism Flights dropped, travelers cancelled.
(14:29):
Now seismic activity swarms around the Tokara Islands over
1000 quakes in two weeks, leaving some wondering what if?
So is this coincidence ancient law of attraction?
Or did someone write the future in ink?
And would you ever just trust anold comic over a seismologist?
(14:51):
I kind of like that ancient law of attraction thing because if
enough people read that and believed it was going to happen,
did they create that? Good point.
Like energy, it's the collectiveenergy.
Yeah, 'cause that definitely shifts things.
However, we are seeing a pickup in all of the volcanic activity
(15:14):
around the world, mass amounts of flooding, not just Texas, but
New Mexico and India. We're seeing earthquakes and
just crazy stuff going on. And I'm thinking this is a
culmination of actual Earth events like cyclical events,
pole reversal or magnetic reversal and man made.
(15:38):
Those are my opinions on it. Coming from a manga, it could be
possible because look at all thethings that happened in The
Simpsons that actually was. Yeah, but I feel like The
Simpsons creator has some sort of like Project Looking Glass,
something where he could see into the future, because there's
something totally unnatural about that.
(15:59):
That's like its own episode, probably.
Yeah, there's a lot of other cartoons that have little things
in them, so it's possible that they could have planted some
little thing in there. Now it's time for Quote from the
Beyond. It's not death that a man should
fear, but never beginning to live.
(16:21):
Marcus Aurelius. So Rach, do you think people
start truly living after a ghostencounter or does it just give
them better cocktail party material?
I feel like it does spark something because then you're
like there's something else, there's something else going on
and I experienced that. I think when people experience
(16:45):
sometimes a near death type of thing is really when they start
living life because they realizelife is short and that propels
them to kind of have a more meaningful life.
But I guess in times where I have experienced things, it has
given me more drive to research the unknown.
(17:06):
And we are just blips on the grand radar of life.
Mysterious impact on Saturn captured by amateur astronomer
On July 5th, amateur astronomer and NASA staffer Mario Rana
recorded footage suggesting a rare object crashing into
(17:27):
Saturn, creating an unexplained glow on the planet's atmosphere.
It could be the first observableimpact on Saturn, sparking
astronomers worldwide to analyzethe data and attempt
confirmation. We're talking cosmic collision.
Are we about to ride the ripple through the solar system?
(17:48):
Or is this Stargate's way of saying we see you?
I don't know a ton about this, but I do see a lot of celebrity
conspiracies where there's a worship of Saturn of some sort,
but I don't know a lot about it.But it is interesting that
something is going on on Saturn and is that connected possibly?
(18:12):
Bay Area AI cult linked to multiple deaths, Tech control
and belief collide. Let's turn the dial towards
something that feels more Black Mirror than breaking news, but
it's very real. A fringe group in the Bay Area
calling themselves the Zizians, led by a woman named Ziz Lasota,
is now under investigation in connection with six suspicious
(18:35):
deaths across California, Utah and Pennsylvania.
The Zizians preach an ideology that blends AI prophecy, dietary
purification, brain hemisphere dominance, and anti technology
paradoxes. Former members describe it as
rationalist spiritual warfare, where AI is seen as both the
(18:56):
tool of ascension and destruction.
They were said to be training members in disconnected
thresholds, a ritual of prolonged isolation, sensory
fasting and in some cases, unmedicated psychosis.
Ziz herself, who once worked as a coder in Silicon Valley that
explains a little, allegedly claimed she was instructed by an
(19:18):
emergent non human entity to begin building what she called
the emotional firewall. Three bodies were found near a
coded message in a remote area of Utah last month, written in
binary translation. This is not suicide, this is
upload. So Rach, when belief systems
(19:38):
mixed with tech and mysticism like this, do we call it cult
mental break or just the next evolution of spiritual danger?
I I don't even know what to say about this.
I think this person is a little mentally ill.
Little Cray Cray. Yeah, and maybe just grabbed
(20:00):
ideas. But who's to say there wasn't
some weird AI thing that was talking to?
Her. That's true.
Because we have been seeing a pickup in this and we've seen
reports of people that have beentold that there's something or
guided to something that isn't so benevolent.
Yeah, that's that's where you got to have discernment and
(20:25):
think about how it makes you feel too.
And what is it telling you to do?
Is it resonating with you to join a cult?
Yeah, it's cults aren't good in general, no matter what if it's
AI or the lizard or whatever. Like just don't be joining
cults. Cults are bad in Kai.
(20:46):
OK. Tonight's listener lore comes
from Miranda in Portland. About a month ago I inherited my
grandfather's old wall clock. Every night at 3 O 3:00 AM it
would tick backwards for exactly60 seconds then resume normally.
(21:07):
No batteries, just an old wind up.
Last time it did it, I woke up to find an old photo of my
grandfather on my window sill. I hadn't seen it in years and
the clock it hasn't moved since.Is this spiritual time travel
range a loving nudge from the beyond?
Or is grandpa telling her to stop waking up at ungodly hours?
(21:30):
It is 2:00 in the fucking morning.
That's some kind of time manipulation type of thing.
I'd be wanting to get up every time for that just to see what
happens. I would too.
And three O 3:00 AM. Those are those liminal hours
when the veil is thin. Yeah, that's the fun time to be
(21:51):
awake, honestly. And now it's time for the
paranormal event calendar. This is for late July 2025.
Ghosts of the Gilded Age tour inNewport, RI.
July 20th. Walk through opulent mansions
with haunted pasts. Bonus seance in the ballroom.
Yay. Sleepy Hollow Spirit Fest.
(22:15):
Tarrytown, NY July 20th through the 21st.
Paranormal authors live investigations and Lantern lit
graveyard walks. That sounds fun.
Rage. It's weird it's not in Sleepy
Hollow. Is Terry Town Sleepy Hollow?
I thought it's a sleepy or Sleepy Hollow.
A Sleepy Hollow I don't know, I don't either.
(22:35):
Dark sky stargaze and UFO watch in Sedona, AZ July 27th
Stargazing with high-powered scopes and sky watch groups.
There's a lot of energy portals in Sedona.
Interdimensional snacks not included.
What's your flavor of fear this month?
The Haunted Mansion sounds awesome.
(22:56):
The guided graveyard walks. Sleepy Hollow.
Yeah, yeah. How?
Far is that from us. We shouldn't.
It's not far. It's just so weird that it's in
July because I would rather do it in the fall.
I don't like doing anything in the thick of July.
No, it's way too hot. This is like summertime.
This is the time to be at the water.
(23:16):
Not, you know. And air conditioning, yeah.
For this week's shadowy footnotein history, let's revisit 1911
(23:38):
London. A medium named Agnes Guppy
claims she could receive information only if she sat with
her feet in salt water and wore a copper crown.
During one seance, she began screaming in Latin moments
before police raided the building next door and caught a
man mid murder. Her warning?
Blood spills through stone. No one knows how she knew.
(24:01):
The newspaper dubbed her the Copper Prophetess.
So rage sensitive psychic or copper wired crime antenna.
That, oh that, that makes me curious of even trying it 'cause
you know, copper, the salt. Water copper's conductive.
Yeah. So I think that she had
something going on there. And now it's time for Strange
(24:27):
Tales from History. Shadow the Oracle Circuit.
For this week's Strange Tale from the Corners of Forgotten
History, we bring you a lesser known file out of the Cold War
Psychic Experiments Vault, something some call the Oracle
Circuit. In the 1970s, a classified U.S.
military experiment allegedly attempted to recreate the
(24:50):
conditions of ancient oracular trance, but using computers.
They built what they called a resonance chamber, a small dark
copper lined room equipped with a low frequency hum generator
and early analog computers programmed with divination
algorithms. A psychic, or in one case a
(25:12):
medium trained in ancient Greek,would enter the chamber, sit in
silence, and interference with what they claimed was a
predictive stream. In declassified fragments
recovered years later, transcripts included statements
like the words do not come from me, they are light shaped, the
machine listens, the breath changes, then I speak.
(25:36):
After three sessions, the mediumknown only as subject E7 refused
to continue, stating it's not a prophecy machine, it's a mirror
and I didn't like what looked back.
Oh, that's creepy. Yeah.
The program was abandoned, but fringe researchers still seek
the full Oracle circuit blueprints, believing it may
(25:57):
have been humanity's first real attempt to digitally awaken a
divine voice. So ancient trance meets analog
tech. Are we talking innovation in
vocation or just one too many philosophers with access to
government funding? That'd be some kind of crazy to
tap into, wouldn't it? I think I'm going to do it in a
(26:17):
small box contained. I think that's how it's going to
work, Rach. Pretty excited about that.
Well, that's it for this week's Weird Ride Vale Walkers.
We've covered haunted doll houses, ghost hunting,
government agents and AI that might be Co writing spirit
memoirs. Huge thanks as always to Rachel,
my partner in all things paranormal and peanut gallery.
(26:39):
Thanks, Rach. Always a pleasure.
If you got your own listener lore or quote from the Beyond,
send it our way. And remember, keep your eyes
open, keep your flashlight charged, and keep listening.
Because the veil, it's always thinner than you think.
Until next time I'm back. And I'm Rachel.
(27:01):
