You're listening to to the Spirit podcast.
Welcome curious ones to be on the Veil where the ghosts are
opinionated. The UF OS are.
Punctual and the haunted real estate market is somehow hotter
than ever. I'm back.
Your solo guide. Through the shadows this week.
(00:25):
Yeah, you heard that right. Just me.
No Rachel this time. No witty banter, Bali, No, no
one to play off of. So if you're hoping for.
A laugh track or a sidekick giggle.
You might want to just go listento a sitcom rerun.
If, however, you're into paranormal drama, ghost
auctions, cursed reselled items,and the occasional unhinged time
(00:47):
traveler from TikTok, then stickaround.
Today's news roundup includes a haunted house auction that
turned into APR seance the cancellation of yet another
ghost show, Paranormal Drama Alert.
Post solar flare UFO. Sightings that.
The FAA is. Definitely not talking about.
A divot. Box you can now buy online with
(01:08):
a money back guarantee and an AI.
Chatbot that says it can speak with the dead.
Because you know what could possibly go wrong there.
We'll also take a trip into the shadowy.
Story from history and hear one listener lore tell that might
make you. Sleep with a salt circle so.
Grab your EMF. Readers, your skeptical third.
(01:29):
Eye and possibly. Your lawyer if.
You're buying haunted property and let's go beyond the bell.
You'd think a home known for demonic possession, poltergeist
activity, and a connection to the actual Warrens would come
(01:50):
with a. Waiver a priest.
And maybe a punch. Card for exorcisms.
But no, this week the infamous Conjuring house hit the.
Auction block. Like it was just another
charming farmhouse. Fixer upper with.
Only mild soul screaming What? Started as a high stakes.
Paranormal property sale quicklyturned into a spectral.
Soap opera. Online drama, bidding wars,
(02:12):
accusations of gatekeeping, claims that the spirits didn't
want certain people to win, and of course, influencers circling
like. Digital vultures.
Trying to get a slice of hauntedclout?
The winning bidder? Well, at the time of this
recording, it's still unclear. Whether they're a serious
(02:33):
researcher. A horror fan with cash to burn
or just someone who makes? Poor real estate.
Decisions under a full moon. Meanwhile, the current owners
made it known. They feel the house.
Should only go to someone who. Respects the spirits, which is
code. For no ghost.
Bros with Gopros. Now, if I were tossing this to
(02:54):
Rachel right now, I'd. Probably ask if she'd.
Live there, but since it's just me, I'll answer.
Absolutely not. I like my haunted objects cursed
and portable. Thank you now.
Here's where it. Gets less funny because
somewhere along the way, these haunted homes, these trauma
embedded places turned from sites of spiritual mystery into
(03:15):
influencer playgrounds. The Conjuring House.
The Lizzie. Borden House, The Warren Museum.
Relics. They're.
Becoming theme. Parks for the.
Paranormally. Obsessed.
And while yes. People deserve to explore.
The unknown. There is a line between honoring
(03:35):
and exploiting. Spirits, the consciousness.
Energy memory residue when you buy a haunted.
House to chase clout? You're not just playing with.
Ghost stories you're. Potentially poking an act of
grief. So here's the fire.
If you're. Going to profit off the dead.
You better know how to protect the living.
(03:57):
And if spirits didn't want someone to win that auction,
maybe we should listen. Ghosts might not die, but
apparently ghost shows. Do, or at least.
They get into very. Public messy breakups.
(04:19):
Paranormal Lockdown. The show, once Co helmed by Nick
Roth, has hit another wall, and this time it's not made of brick
in an abandoned asylum. Fans were already salty after
previous cancellations and dramawith networks, but now rumors
are swirling that a new season was in the works, only to be.
Mysteriously shut. Down again.
(04:41):
Cue the fans lighting candles and sharpening pitchforks in the
comments section. And if that weren't enough,
online spats have reignited between former.
Co stars cryptic tweets are. Flying and some fans believe the
show is being blacklisted by well.
Let's just say other. Quote UN quote.
(05:01):
Respected ghost hunters. Yes, we've officially reached
the ghost. Hunting Hunger Games.
So. If I get randomly.
Ghosted by every. Paranormal Show next month,
you'll know why. I covered.
This headline, pray for me. Or since all or both.
So what's really going on here? Some blame.
Network politics. Others.
(05:23):
Blame feuds, lawsuits, or even bad spiritual karma.
Let's be honest, when your whole.
Career is built around. Provoking angry spirits and
condemned buildings, Eventually something's going to follow you
home. Sometimes haunted houses aren't
the problem. Haunted egos are.
The spiritual irony. While the show was.
(05:45):
Called paranormal lockdown, it seems the only thing getting
locked down these days is communication.
Fans have been digging through Instagram posts, live stream
comments and TikTok theories like amateur.
Digital Archaeologists. Trying to find clues about why
it really ended. Some blame network censorship.
Others say it's. Ego clashes 1 brave soul on
Reddit said it's all because someone disrespected a demon and
(06:06):
honestly? That kind of tracks.
Look if. You were into poking ancient
spirits and burning sage in a Walmart parking lot.
Eventually the spirits are goingto poke back and probably take
your TV deal with them. But.
Here's the bigger picture. This is what happens when the
paranormal industry becomes performance.
Over purpose when? Investigations become monetized.
(06:30):
When fear becomes branding, whenthe spirit world becomes
content, it's no longer. About what's real.
It's about what? Gets views.
And here's the thing the spiritsalways remember Intent opens the
door. Ego kicks it.
Off its hinges, so if you're chasing.
Ghosts for clout? You might just get haunted by
(06:52):
your own reflection. Well, if you've been looking up
lately, you're not alone. And apparently neither are we
following a recent surge. In solar flare activity.
There's been a. Noticeable uptick.
In reported UFO. Sightings.
Across several regions, especially near military.
Installations and commercial flight paths.
(07:14):
Multiple airline pilots have stepped forward anonymously
describing. What they call metallic objects.
Parsing the plane Silent. V shaped crafts.
And the classic It wasn't a drone and it wasn't a balloon.
Which is basically pilot code for.
We saw something the feds are pretending they didn't now.
(07:34):
Meanwhile, the FFA has gone fullMIME 0 acknowledgement, no
airspace. Alerts.
Not even a casually vague press statement to pretend it was
Venus. Look, I don't know what's worse.
Actual aliens pacing our airliners.
Or the fact. That we now just shrug when we
hear. About it like.
(07:54):
Oh, a craft that can blink in and out of radar?
Meh. Pass the pretzels.
We are officially jaded and maybe a little doomed, but
here's where it gets even stranger.
A. Handful of researchers believe
that solar flares, which. Dramatically affect Earth's
magnetic field may act as energetic openings, creating
(08:16):
visible anomalies or thinning the dimensional curtains just
enough for us to glimpse what's usually hidden.
And if true. That would mean we're not
suddenly being visited more. We're just finally seeing what's
always been there. And maybe.
The real cover. Up isn't the craft.
It's the. Frequency fog keeping our
(08:36):
perception on mute. So what does it mean when?
Pilots, Researchers. And everyday sky.
Watchers all start. Reporting anomalies.
After a solar spike. Is it the sun acting like a
cosmic highlighter or is it something riding the flares in?
Because as solar. Activity.
Increases, so do. Sudden memory lapses, weird
(08:59):
sleep patterns, and yes. More sky glitches.
Showing up on doorbell cams and cockpit recorders 1.
Retired air traffic. Controller even hinted in a
podcast. There are crafts we don't.
Talk about they show up when themagnetosphere ripples and then
they're gone. That's comforting, isn't it?
(09:20):
Nothing like casually being stalked by interdimensional
skyfish while you're trying to make it to Terminal B.
But maybe the sky is thinning for a reason.
Maybe. Disclosure was never going to
come through government memos, but through magnetic memory
returning to the human soul. We're not waiting for them to
announce it anymore. We're starting to remember.
(09:41):
It ourselves TikTok. Where dance trends, make up
tutorials and full blown timeline prophecy all live in
algorithmic harmony. This week, a user claimed to be
a time traveler from the year 2236, and he's.
Declared that October. 23rd, 2025.
(10:02):
Is what he calls the flip. Date.
In his words, this is the momentwhere timelines fracture
permanently, those with encoded frequency recognition activate
and a memory. Veil collapses.
Between parallel earth, so you know.
Typical Tuesday. I mean if a guy in a hoodie with
glowing eyes and lo fi synth music says it's true, who am I
(10:24):
to argue? Also please remind me not to
schedule a dentist appointment on the 23rd.
I'd rather not be mid root canalwhen the bell collapses.
But jokes aside, here's the weird part.
Multiple self-proclaimed sensitives and intuitive
watchers online have noted that something does feel
energetically heavy around that date.
(10:45):
October 23rd lands just days before the lunar.
Eclipse. It follows global solar.
Storms and yes. Historically, it's a hot spot
for weird. Disappearances, electromagnetic
spikes and ancient death festivals and several cultures.
Coincidence. Maybe, but even your tech might
feel it if your phone. Glitches, your clocks skip or
(11:07):
your ex texts? You out of nowhere?
You've been warned. As for me?
I'll be by the window, mug in hand, waiting to see if.
The air tastes different. In case you're new here A
(11:55):
Dybeck. Box is a supposedly cursed
object, usually. The.
(12:24):
The abyss comes with tracking. Honestly, if your haunted box
arrives broken. Do you ask?
For a refund or a rabbi? And is Spirit still attached
considered a restocking fee? The deeper issue here these
boxes. Once ritual items.
Or spiritual traps. Have become collectors
novelties. There's now an entire cottage
(12:46):
industry of DIY. Curses for sale?
Some are real. Most are fakes.
But the energy? They play with is still very
real. And intention binds spirit if
someone believes a divot is attached and treats.
It like a joke. They may still open a door.
(13:06):
Not all curses shout. Some whisper and the price isn't
always listed on the receipt, so.
If you're planning on. Ordering one of these little
nightmares online? Just remember, haunted may be a
vibe for decor, but bound spirits are not.
For resell. And now it's time for Strange
(13:38):
Tales. From History's.
Shadow. She arrived in silence, stayed
in shadows, and never. Showed her face.
Our story tonight takes us to 18th century France.
A place of powdered. Wigs painted smiles and secrets
stitched into silk. In certain noble circles of
Parisian society, there were whispers not of ghosts, but of a
(14:01):
woman. A noble woman, elegant,
unnerving, known only. As LA.
Dame a mosque, the lady in the mask.
She was always at the opera. Always at the masquerades.
Always. Present but never truly seen.
She wore a delicate porcelain mask, not the kind tied with
(14:22):
ribbon, but one moulded. So.
Perfectly, it seemed a part of. Her face.
No one, ever. Saw her eat.
No one ever heard her laugh. No one remembered her entering a
room, only the chill that arrived when she was there.
One rumor said she. Was horribly disfigured.
Another claimed her face. Was so beautiful it was cursed.
(14:45):
And any man who saw it would lose his mind.
Some said she had no face at all, only a blank void beneath
the mask, a silence, a nothing. She died allegedly at a
masquerade ball, still wearing her mask.
They buried her that way. But in the years that followed,
(15:07):
people claimed to see her wandering.
The old opera halls. Gliding across balconies,
reflecting in mirrors that shouldn't have held reflections
and. Always, always.
With that same mask uncracked unchanged some.
Say she still appears. At modern masquerade.
(15:27):
Still. Watching.
Still waiting. So maybe she never wore the mask
to hide. Maybe she wore it to remind us
how many of us do. In a world built on performance,
those who never removed the maskeventually become it.
(15:47):
This week's. Listener lore comes from Nessa
in Erie, PA. Hey, Beck.
First off, thank you for walkingsolo.
You've been carrying the flame and I feel it.
I've debated sending the story for months but after hearing you
talk about the masks falling I knew it was time.
This happened to me when I was 14 it.
Started as a. Dream, but it didn't.
(16:09):
Stay there. In the dream, I was in my
childhood bedroom. Everything looked normal.
Except. For one thing.
There was a white. Porcelain mask lying under my
bed. It was cracked right down the
center, but still smiling, not in a comforting way, in the way
that made my skin crawl. I reached down to touch it and
(16:32):
the moment my fingers grazed. It I heard.
A voice whisper in my right ear.It's.
Not your face anymore. I jolted awake, sat up.
Room silent, heart racing, I told myself it was just a weird
dream until three nights later my younger sister came into my
room pal is a sheet and said. Something under your bed?
(16:55):
I heard it laughing. She wouldn't sleep near me for.
Weeks we saged. I prayed and I never saw the
mask again. But even now when I wake up at
night. I sometimes feel like I'm still.
Wearing something that doesn't quite fit.
Thanks for listening. I feel less alone knowing others
are unmasking to NASA. So now my reflection.
(17:17):
Not all masks are made of porcelain.
Some are made of memory, some weput on as children and.
We forget to take it off. Thank you, NASA, for reminding
us that even in dreams, the soulspeaks, and sometimes it warns.
These are the stories that matter most right now.
Not the polished ones, not the Hollywood hauntings or the ghost
(17:40):
hunter clickbait, but the quiet ones.
The ones. Whispered from childhood.
Beds and dreams snatched, memories stitched.
And carried for years like. Secrets in our bones, because
this isn't just about spirits knocking on walls.
It's about the. Spirits knocking on us, saying
wake up, remember, remove what no longer.
(18:04):
Fits. So to Nessa, and to everyone of
you holding stories, you've never.
Told the space is yours, this fire is yours.
And as long as Beyond the Bell exists, you're never the only
one. Who sees what?
Others miss because naturally, in a world full of.
(18:26):
Real spirits. We've now.
Decided to digitally fabricate. Them too.
Several new AI platforms are popping up claiming they can
simulate conversations with the deceased.
Some allow you to train the system on old voicemails, text
messages and social media posts so the bot can talk back in
(18:46):
their. Voice others, go full spirit.
Board style offering seance simulations with spooky sound
effects and interactive energy. Matching because.
What could possibly go wrong? You know nothing screams in her
healing like chatting with a deep fake version of your
grandma who suddenly wants to upsell you on crypto coin from
beyond the veil. But here's the deeper rub.
(19:10):
For some, this feels like comfort.
It's a way to grieve, to feel close.
Again, but for others, especially those of us who know
what. Spirit actually is this cross.
Is a dangerous line because. Here's the truth.
AI can mimic syntax, it can learn patterns, it can even
(19:32):
trick you emotionally. But it cannot channel a soul.
What it can do? Is open doors.
You don't fully understand, and when grief gets involved,
discernment gets fuzzy. If you're not.
Protected. Clear, grounded, trying to talk.
(19:54):
To your dead. Loved one through AI might just
become a beacon for something else.
Something wearing a voice that isn't your own.
Something that doesn't need a charger.
Because it feeds. On confusion, we already.
Have tools to speak to? The other side We don't need
silicon masks pretending to be the ancestors.
(20:30):
Tonight. We've walked through.
Auctions of the haunted drama inthe ghost hunting halls, masks
that whisper from beneath our beds, and AI that wants to
speak. Like the dead.
We've met watchers in the sky, time travellers and hoodies, and
through it all, you stayed with me.
Thank you. Yes, things are shifting, the
(20:53):
format is changing, but the flame, it still burns.
I'll be here bi weekly, bringingyou the strange, the spiritual,
the whispered and the wild. Just as I always have, only now
a little more direct, little more distilled.
So. Until next time.
Watch the skies. Guard your name and don't.
(21:14):
Buy cursed objects with a return.
Policy. This has been beyond the bell
news, and I'm back, still listening, still watching, still
walking that edge between Strange and.
Sacred because not. Everything that haunts.
Wears a face. To the Spirit.
Podcast Supernatural. Society I'm.
(21:37):
Ghosting. Ghosting.
Ghost Psyche. Mystic.
Spirit. Divine source in.
Heaven, the dead.
