an actual haunted location on location, love it. We filmed

(01:23):
this episode in Australia. App poor Arthur. He flew there, yep.
And we didn't even tell any of you guys in
Australia that we were gonna be there. We just flew there.
Fun fact, this is my favorite. He's my favorite cartoon
Ardvork love that guy. What fucking nerd he was? Right, Arthur? No,

(01:44):
I love Arthur. Arthur was my fucking rock dude. He
was my Was he an hard work? I don't remember
what he was certainly was something I like Biff. There
was a there was a character in it named Biff,
and he just had a head like a fucking bastard
tomcat dude. Was he like the fucking bully looking dude? Yeah, Yeah,
he looked like a Biff. He had a head like
a gas tank with like two Dracula fangs. Sure talking

(02:10):
about No, I don't, I think I do if it's
the person I'm thinking of. Hey, First off, I want
to say hello to our newest page Trump subscriber, Random
Air four one nine and I met him on the
back pages at He was offering hotel breakfast and I

(02:30):
went to his hotel room for the hotel breakfast and
he grabbed me on my tents and I screamed in
lowercase letters, so I didn't scream that loud. And we
were intimate over what I thought was gonna be a
continental breakfast, but it was just intimacy. No, the truth
is me and him. He found me on the PlayStation

(02:53):
the other night, okay, and we started playing and had
a great time, talked some shit. He didn't say anything racist,
So it's nice to have somebody on PlayStation with me
that wasn't saying like, you know, F words about gay
people and N words about you know, all that stuff.
So it's nice to have a teammate that like hung
around and was cool and chill knows. Whatever said in

(03:15):
a game lobby doesn't doesn't translate in real life PlayStation.
They'll get you, buddy, But if you want to, if
you want to play PlayStation with me, my PlayStation user
name is Brohio Nick and then my EA gamer tag
is nick j a one nick Jay's and jack off

(03:35):
as an asshole one on EA because I have been
playing Battlefield not Call of Duty, and I put this
in the closed group. We have a closed group called
Brohio Podcast. But Chugger's anonymous password Bill Wilkins. I said,
it's like when you get hair on your dick. That's
what playing Battlefield is like. Compared to Call of Duty.

(03:57):
Call of duty, they should give you a stack of
fucking quarters and taking you a chucky cheese when you
play call of duty. That's all that shit is. They
don't call it duty for nothing. Hey, you know what
I mean, Duty's duty, man whatever. Only people on duty
are the fucking dude sucking each other's dicks when they're
playing that game. Not a good game anymore. Battlefield takes

(04:19):
real heart, you know. I I I work with a guy.
He's a grizzled marine. He's done multiple tours in Iraq,
just like kill people and shit, won't talk about it. Sure,
And I went to work and I said, I've been
playing Battlefield six and it's just like how you were
in Iraq. And he said, what do you mean. I
was like, it's really close to actual war, and he said,
don't talk to me about this. I said, this is

(04:42):
real war. There's tactics that you gotta, you gotta. You
can't just run a gun. You die, You're dead, no
pun intend of it. He's getting triggered, and you and
your fucking burn pits. I don't give a ship. This
is real shit. You don't know what I'm going through
in this game. Did you ever have to fight Iraqi's
with your wife and children in the living room with you? No,

(05:06):
that's what I'm on his battlefield. That's cool, that's cool. Sorry,
I give me you hard. I don't like call of
duty anymore, man, I get it. I should haven't played
that in forever. I haven't played that in forever. I'm
fucking Braha Robin everything you can find me. I'm there.
I don't know what I'm playing right now. It's dick. Yeah,

(05:29):
you gotta get this last patron with my ass. Clinton,
Edward Stinky. You're a fucking least favorite president and good
set of balls on you, though I appreciate you. When
you're born, your parents are just like, oh, we're gonna
name him out that little nubby piece the top of
a pussy. How cool is that? Clint? Come here, Clint Clinton?

(05:51):
Would you call me Clinton? I don't gonna name you
after that little pimple on the top of the vagina.
That hay or may not really exist. My wife's like,
that's not for chewing ond.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
O U.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
We got a newspaper article, news article coming from by
way of Actually, first, we got a podcast promo from
our friends, um Dustin. He's a long time listening to
the show, but he's got his own podcast now, okay,
called Dark Discoveries. And I can't remember if he was

(06:32):
one of the ones that sent me a promo and
I sent it back like fucking fix this pile of
shit and I'll play it. But he sent us his
promo and it's pretty good. Here goes. Are you fascinated
by the dark side of history, perhaps conspiracies or even
creatures lurking just out of sight. We are Dark Discoveries,
a podcast covering a wide range of topics from paranormal phenomenon, murder, mystery,

(06:58):
and maybe even some gangsters. So join us. But remember,
the deeper you dive, the darker it gets.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
You.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Ever, hear that he didn't tell me what all their
names were. One of those other voices are familiar. They
probably should all sound familiar, but it's done. But I
do know Dustin is in there, and he's got a
sensual woman and another man with big balls. They don't
know all their names. Yeah, So this article this week

(07:34):
comes by way of New York Times. Okay, this is
something well, I'm gonna read it to you. Let's get
I had to work on this word a lot in
order to make sure I wasn't saying a derogatory slang.
The Faberge egg lockett was an extravagant homage to Octopusy,

(07:57):
the nineteen eighty three James Bond movie about murder and
jewelry smuggling that includes a scene in which Bond definitely
swaps a real Faberge egg for a fake one at
an auction. Crafted in eighteen cart gold and decorated with
green yoach an animal set with sixty white diamonds and

(08:17):
fifteen blue sapphires, the egg opened to reveal a miniature
gold octopus with two black diamonds for eyes. Last week,
a man walked into a jewelry store in Auckland, New Zealand.
He picked up the egg and then he swallowed it
inside the jewelry store, Jeez about to lay him an

(08:40):
egg when officers arrived. He was arrested and charged with theft.
After the man underwent a medical assessment, the only thing
the police had to do was wait. They assigned an
officer to monitor him around the clock, until finally, six
days later, the jewel encrusted egg, which appeared to be

(09:03):
roughly the size of a large grape, was recovered on
Thursday night. No medical intervention was required and the pendant
passed naturally. The police said a statement, ak, it came
out of his butt. It was in his poop, it
was in his shit. Yeah, I definitely thought they were
bigger than that. I could eat one of those. The
police did not release the name of the man, who

(09:24):
was thirty two, but said he was expected to appear
in court on Monday. The police said that the egg
remained in their custody, and they released a photo of
it resting on the paper towels and held by a
hand in a blue glove. It's covered poop. I got
the poop egg. The egg still had its yellow gold
chain attached, as well as the original prize tag, revealing

(09:46):
that it had been selling for thirty three thousand, five
hundred and eighty five New Zealand dollars in American monies.
That's about nineteen point five k oh shit, Okay, yeah,
damn shit. I laid an egg. Once I laid an egg,
I laid two eggs this afternoon. I think I've like,

(10:09):
that's how much we already pay for eggs, So that's
not really that impressive. So shit, man. Then for a
while it's getting out of control. I was easily paying
nineteen thousand an egg. We're getting back down now, but
woo hoo. Fuck Joe Biden said, I know what I'm
doing on the way out. Fuck these eggs. His eggs
can fuck off. Yoah. I no one eat an omelet
if I'm dying, No one's eating omelet. All right. This

(10:33):
episode is going to be about a haunted location in Australia.
There is a horrific, horrific shooting murder that happened in
the nineteen nineties at Port Arthur. We're gonna talk a
little bit about that that spurned many of the gun
laws in Australia. But that episode is This episode is
not about that, Okay. This episode is about the hauntings,

(10:55):
all right, But don't get it twisted. In the meantime,
here's a quick break for a few of our sponsors.
I think Robert and I discussed a moment ago. I
think we might record another episode this week. Down do it?

(11:17):
You try to keep me from it. You're not going
to be able to ouverboough Christmas time, Robert not ready
for it to be over then even here yet, and
I'm already fucking We just put the decorations up, did
you yesterday? But the uh ornaments on the tree, we

(11:38):
still haven't done that. We got lights on our tree,
but the whole house is decorated. We're so We're so busy, man,
That's how it is. And then I was so excited
for a week into football and the Buckeye's lost and
the Bengals lost. So there I was stepping into the
bathtub naked with a lit toaster and my wife, he said,

(11:59):
is that all you have to it for? Is football?
You don't there's nothing else that makes you happy? And
then I was like, no, I want to fucking die, bitch.
And I've never called her the bee wordever, I've never
cursed her. I said, I want to fucking die, bitch,
just because I wanted her to hate me enough to
let me die. And she fucking plopped her titties out

(12:22):
flow flow. That's the noise that made Well, there's two
reasons for me to stay. I guess I'll live. I
didn't mean to call you a bitch, the equivalent of
like a fucking cop talking someone off a bridge, but
the cop just pulls out as fucking dick or something. Hey,
I'll suck that for you. I was like, either you

(12:45):
can get out of my way or you can die
with me and the titties out. Okay, I'll get out.
I've got this house rigged. If you stop me, it'll
blow up. Bitch, you just hit that be So luckily
she talked me off the ledge. Yeah good, I got

(13:08):
nipple burns all over my body. Now a single taste
bud left on your tongue. It's funny, like what. Growing
up there was one of my best friend's dads. We
hung out with him a lot, and he was a
single father, and he would talk to us like you
would talk to like a friend at the bar. And
then anytime he would like we would go to his house.

(13:30):
I would go to my I would go to my
friend's house, and then my girlfriend would come over, and
his girlfriend would come over, and we'd hang out in
the back bedroom, you know, do our thing, and then
he the girls would leave. This is like you know,
thirteen fourteen, and then he come in the bedroom and
he'd just stare at us and he'd be like, you,
motherfucker's got nimple burns on your faces, and then he
walk out. That was always the thing, tell us we

(13:53):
had nipple burns on our faces. That's a fucking great
thing to have. Man. I'm like, you see my wa
my girlfriend's chest. I ain't got no I'm on now.
Poor Arthur porn, Arthur porn. That's the thing. Ay, I
has gone too far. I did see that picture of

(14:15):
Biff too. It was who I thought it was. His
head looks like a fucking like a Halloween pumpkin. That's
in November, late November. I don't know why I thought
of this. When we set it on this topic, it
made me think of this old cartoon from back in
the day, Remember this, Welcome to It.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
It's way under down on the hes, always to stopped
to spin like a Tasmanian devil and his close six kid.
Mom's alive, Molly so fired Apple to take place with
a doll.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Watch. There's stuff like this still watch. Just what is it?
What do you think that old like Looney Tunes characters?

(15:25):
Why do you think there's such an appeal the white
trash like overweight, white trash women. What do you think
it is about that? It's like tweety bird and Betty
Boop and ship. Yeah. If I see Tasmanian devil, immediately
just think of like like my aunt, Yeah, Tammy sure.

(15:46):
And I remember I had this grandma. Uh. It was
like a grandma with a friend growing up. And she
always wore like Betty Boom ship. Oh yeah. One time
she flashed her puss at us. She comes chucking through
the house in a ninety one night. Yeah, and we're
all laying on the floor and she just fucking stepped
over top of all of our heads. She was porky
pick and just clamm dangling, buddy, just fucking lips of

(16:10):
smacking of that suck. I'm sorry you went through that,
just stepped over us. Oh man, you got a whiff
of like pickle water. I can't explain it. It's a
brave woman. She didn't care. She had Betty Boop tattoo. Dude,
that's right above her tit. That's fucking that's that's wild.
Her fucking husband hated her too. It was just I

(16:32):
wonder why it's such a strange you look back at
that that that uh think back about some of these
things that happened. It's just strange. It's really weird because,
like you think about it now and like I don't
think you'd ever go out just fucking hanging brain in
front of your daughters, like it would be like it
essentially be like my daughter staying the night. Yeah, that's

(16:55):
the that's that's exactly that. It would be like my
daughter's being twelve years old old, ten years old and
stay in the night at my grandparents house, at my
mom and dad's house, and my dad walking through there
with dick and balls hanging out, nuts, just hanging out,
just straddling their heads and walking over the top of them.
That's fucking wild. She looked. She ran over top of
her heads like you know, like a like a football

(17:16):
player going through a tire optacle. Course. I'm sorry hanging Yeah,
I told you it smell like pickle water. I like pickles. Man,
Don't don't do that to me, all right. My mom
texts me I'm doing the podcast and ask her she

(17:38):
wants to be on. Yeah, come on, come on, I'm
about to give her a second till she gets that
text message and then call her. Bet you, she won't answer. Tonight,
we're going to a place that basically checks every box
for this has to be haunted, and I sell them,
do we sell them? Sell them? Cover Haunted locations no

(18:04):
longer because they're kind of boring. But this one cool.
It's a little different. It's called Port Arthur, not Arthur Porn,
like we said earlier, down in Tasmania, Australia, back in
the eighteen hundreds, this was one of the worst places
you could end up in the British Empire decided that
you were a problem, not a vacation prison or jumpsuit

(18:24):
and TV time prison. This wasn't the one that Jeffrey
Epstein went to where he was taking you know, snicker
and ice cream breaks throughout the day. Speaking of prison break,
I'm glad that breath. We're talking, you're underwear, you're prison
right now, quarters in session, the veron chains, torture isolations,

(18:53):
shark infested water, and people literally losing their minds in
the dark. Over time, thousands of people through Port Arthur.
We're talking convicts, soldiers, guards, families, kids, and a lot
of them never left. They died there, were buried there,
or they broke in ways that you just don't get over.

(19:14):
When you you stack that much pain, you stack that
much fear and violence, and you put it in one
spot for that long, you don't really just walk away
from it. This place, it holds on to you. And
one cool thing about this place. Most of the time
you think of when you think of a haunting, you

(19:36):
think of going to a place and it's haunted. Sure,
you don't ever think about that haunting coming to you.
That's true. And that's kind of we'll touch on later on.
There's kind of an instance of that. That's that's pretty
pretty interesting. Today, Port Arthur is a historic site. You
can actually buy tickets. I would say much much along

(19:56):
the lines of how we treat Alcatraz here in America.
It's a Alcatraz is a prison, just a you know,
a mile off the coast and surrounded by a city
full of homosexuals. And uh, you can go visit it.
You can buy a I think you can sail out there.

(20:18):
I sailed out there with Roy the fucking prison on
an island. I told you, I think it might have
been the last episode. We went out to Alcatraz. We
visited it, we got off the boat. I bought a
marijuana joint out of a cookie jar. I smoked it
and I was never grabbed, I was never groped. I
don't think I saw people butt fucking on the side

(20:39):
the corner there. Yeah. I feel like, if I'm going
to experience it, I want to kind of be you
want to bomb it a little bit? Ye. I want
to know I'm desirable. You know, for sure. You can
buy tickets. You can take a tour of Port Arthur.
You can see the ruins and the old buildings. They're
daytime history tours for normal people. And then and for

(21:00):
people like us, there's night tours. Not to be confused
with night tears. That's when you leak up and your
dick is so fucking hard that you'll jack off to
an infomercial. That's a night tear. Never had one of those,
the ones where they turn most of the lights off
and let you walk through the old cell blocks with

(21:20):
a lantern while guides quietly let tell you about the
things that people see there that you probably shouldn't think
or talk about. People get scratched, people pass out, Tough
guys walk in laughing and walk out pale and quiet.
Guides have quit after just one shift. Security cameras catch

(21:45):
things walking around that aren't supposed to exist anymore. This
is Port Arthur. Oh yeah, this is cool. In this episode,
we're gonna do three things. We're gonna walk you through
how bad this place really was when it was running
as a as a We're gonna go building by building
through the most haunted spots and the stories that come
out of them. And then we're gonna talk about the

(22:06):
dark twist in the nineteen nineties that glued a modern
day massacre, the Port Arthur Massacre, onto an already cursed
hot bed of paradormal activity. By the time we're done,
you'll understand why people say Port Arthur isn't just haunted.
It feels like the whole place is infected. And that's

(22:27):
a word that people have used to describe Port Arthur,
not that it's haunted, that it's infected. I don't like that.
I don't like infections. They usually stink. I think that
grandmother with the Betty Boop tattoo that stepped over my face,
I think she had infections. Would I would say that's
probably probably safe. Bet Yeah, I said, hey, why does
smell like that? Why do you stink? Something's wrong with

(22:50):
the clam you know we talk We mentioned briefly about
how we seldom see midgets in public. Right, Yeah, I've
done something with my father or the the last week.
Never done with him before, been doing his whole entire life.
And I went to the auto auction with him. Anybody

(23:11):
was listening to the auctioneers at one point, there's like
this black Dodge charger. All right, okay, and let's just
say it was part of repost sales. Say, is this
a police auction? No, it wasn't a police This is
a this is a repost sale. And you had people
there from the general public m bidding on said vehicles. Listen,

(23:38):
where I'm from, there's certain demographics they would want a
dirt what a Dodge charger. I don't fit that mold.
I don't fit that bill. And that's okay for me
to say that. But apparently since I was standing with
my father, he's got this theory. He said, he said
this for many years. If other people see him bidding

(23:58):
on a car, they'll bid on it because as they
know that he's a mechanic. He's been a mechanic for
his whole entire life. So he just like he like
raised his eyebrow or her just like he'll make like
a subtle motion at the auctioneer and he knows, and
the oxyear knows. And I heard the price of this charger.
This like used fucking beat the ship out of chart.

(24:19):
There were like eighty five hundred dollars for this. Oh dude,
it was this piece of shit is bad. And then
somebody's like eighty five. We got eighty five, and the
oxygenear looked at me and I just made like this
goddamn face. These motherfuckers are dumb, dude. This thing's worth
about a thousand dollars. And I guess that old damn
face that do that. Dude pointed at me. The Oxyen's like,
we got any seven? Any seven right here? I got

(24:43):
then I gotta get any and I was like, dad,
I think I just been on this fucking car. He's like,
I'll dig you do too. Fuck oops. And then somebody
else finally bent on it. I was like, holy shit, man,
can't make any faces. I was like, why that happened.
He's like, you look at the auction of the air.
I said yeah. He's like, you're with me, so he
thought you were abidding on it. I was like I

(25:04):
got to get away from you is two steaks and
oh yeah, and uh stressful, dude, yeah, stressful. I'm sure
it's just a giant dick con because you're standing there
looking another man in the face and just will a
battle of who's got the deeper pockets. Oh you got
twenty six hundred, I've got three thousand. Oh you got
three thousand, I've got thirty five. Did he get anything?

(25:28):
He did? He got a well, he bought a Ford
Escape that I didn't want, but I ended up taking
it and giving it to my daughter. Say that thing
will look it looks really clean. It looks really clean,
really nice. You got a fix al and a freeze
leak on. There is a radiator ose thermostat housing. But
those those Ford Escapes they put like one hundred and

(25:51):
fifty pounds of shit in like a small sandwich bag. Yeah,
it's probably just a gasket or something. Is the actual
is the housing and there's some plastic connectors that fail.
Oh yeah, that's that's easy. We'll get through there. We'll
get through it. We'll be all right. That's cool, man.
But back to what I was saying, there was a midget,
there was a big midget. I say, a fucking three
hundred and twenty pound midget. How tall? My dad say,

(26:14):
he's not a midget, he's a dwarf. He wasn't big
at all. Okay, But I said, Dad, how mad do
you think he would be if I ran up behind
him and picked him up? My dad is already kind
of uneasy just having me out in public, because he
knows I just do shit. Yeah, he knows I just
be doing shit sometimes, just be doing it. Just pick

(26:36):
it up his fucking big boulder of a little man.
My dad was panicking. He just thought you were going
to go for it. He's like, fuck man, he's been
going his auction his whole life. He's about to get borred.
He's walking around, introduce this is my boy Nick. You know,
he's proud, he's peacocking dude, and this midget's walking through
the big old fat bastard. He looked drunk and he's

(26:57):
stunking shit. Hi, good to meet your Nick. No, No,
he talked like this. He talked like this dude, that's
so fucking cool. And I was like, I'm gonna wrap
behind him, pick him up, and my dad like fla
will whip your ass so then I'm just like, okay,
he thinks this midget's gonna he thinks this midget can
whip my ass many times you said it. So let

(27:24):
me find out the car we want to bid on.
He's the representative from the dealership. And then we got
to go talk to him, and my dad walks up, like, hey, Jesse,
how you doing. I was like, oh God, this midget smokes.
This is a smoking midget. And my Dad's like, what
are you think of them?

(28:06):
We gotta go back. He's like, We're not going back.
I want to That midget is fucking deceitful. He's a drunk.
I know he's a drunk. My dad told me he's
a drunk, and he lied to us about the condition
of the car. I should have picked him up. Yeah,
it would have saved me from the car. I thought

(28:28):
they were good luck charms, not that one. I hope
this is as much fun for you as liver me.
All Right, we're a half hour in. We've covered half
a page of topic. Poor Arthur got going in the
eighteen thirties. What if I would have pick him up,

(28:49):
he would have sound like a squeaky dog toy. You
talk like that where you pick him up and he
just sounds like a squeaky dog. The British Empire needed
somewhere to dump the worst of the worst convicts, murderers,
repeat offenders. But also they put people there that stole

(29:12):
food or just pissed off the wrong people. They shipped
them halfway around the world to a place surrounded by
cold water, bad weather, and thick bush.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Don't sen me there, please please God, please God it
wash it, Please just wash it before you make me
go there. I don't know if I would know what
to do with thick bush.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I would buddy, look for the whole. I always think
it's funny when old when you're trying to do something
old man's.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Like, can't find a hole, I mean, put some hair
on it.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
On paper port Arthur was supposed to be about rehabilitation.
In reality, it was just a machine for fucking driving
people completely mad and breaking them down. The layout was
almost like a small town. You had a main penitentiary building.
You had the separate prison, which we'll get to that
it's a fucking pure nightmare. You had a church, a hospital, workshops,

(30:08):
the commandant's house, the parsonage where the clergy lived, and
out on a little island nearby, you had the cemetery
for everybody that died of at the prison, because there
was around two thousand deaths or something like that, and
they called it none other than the Isle of the Dead.
Convicts they work brutal hours. They would cut timber, they
would build ships, they would drag chains, just hard labor,

(30:31):
and if you ever screwed up, you got flogged or
thrown into a solitary confinement or sent to the separate
prison where the real psychological torture happened. What's flogging, I
think it's like Jerkin blogged, blogged. I think it's just
a beaten I've started, I've thought about starting to flog.

(30:51):
Hitting with something. You beat someone with a whipp or
a stith. Oh God, fucking chicks pay for that shit,
they really? Yeah, this is the uh a little whip
thing with like the little loop at the end that
looks like it hurts. It does, I'm told it doesn't. Okay.
Remember this is the eighteen hundreds. Medical care nonexistent mental

(31:12):
health didn't exist as a concept. If you broke there,
you broke for real. If you got sick, you probably died,
much like the Oregon Trail, typhoid, dysentery, whatever your dick
has fallen off. They were flogging suicides, failed escape attempts, drownings, infections,
and accidents. The place stacked bodies over decades, thousands and

(31:34):
thousands of bodies. But here's the thing, though, ghost stories
that port Arthur start while the prison is still active.
Guards reported hearing boots on the gravel when no one
was there. Men in uniforms saw full body apparitions of
prisoners who had died weeks earlier. Some refused to patrol
certain areas alone, and when the people tasked with beating

(31:55):
and controlling everyone else start getting scared. That tells you
something about the energy inside of this. When the site
finally shut down and fell into ruins, it didn't go quiet.
It just changed the audience. Instead of guards and convicts,
now you got tour guides. You got tourists standing in
the same spots, seeing the same shadows. If poor Arthur

(32:17):
has a core of the curse, we'll call it it's
the separate prison that we mentioned a few seconds ago.
The separate prison wasn't a normal cell block. This was
an experiment. The idea of the separate prison was, don't
just punish the body, erase the identity, take away sound,

(32:39):
take away human contact, and see what's left of the
human inside that separate prison. Each prisoner had a tiny
individual cell. There was no talking allowed, no names were used,
no faces. Men walked the halls in complete silence, wearing
hoods so they didn't see one another's faces. Guards wouldn't

(33:02):
even talk to the inmates. They only communicated using hand signals.
Even church services were done in weird little booths where
the prisoners stood alone and could barely see the priests.
They would put them in almost like a cabinet with
just a sliver like you cracked the door like a
like a less than like an eighth of an inch,
and that's how they would watch the church services. That's crazy. Man,

(33:26):
and they couldn't see each other faces, they no noises,
they weren't allowed to talk. They they put them in
hoods and robes when they went through the hallways. It
was a very different experience. Hours and days in that
place would stretch on. If you made a noise, you
were punished. If you broke down, no one cared. Men

(33:47):
came out of there hearing voices, They were seeing things
rocking back and forth. Some never came out at all.
You fast forward to now. Modern visitors who step into
the Separate prison talk about a few things that come
up over and over again. They say that the tourists
that visit the Separate Prison now, they say that the
air feels heavy, like you're underwater almost. It's cold inside

(34:11):
the prison, even on the warm nights. People hear footsteps
behind them, but there's no one there. They hear quiet
crying from the empty cells. They feel someone right up
behind them, breathing near their ear, but nothing. Nothing's there
when they turn around. And that's something that kind of
a lot of people experience when they go to this prison.
In general. They lots of experiences of just something or

(34:36):
someone being right up on you, whether it's you know
there are quarters here where you can stay the night.
People seeing things where there's like an indentation on the bed.
You can feel something in the room, you see something
set on the bed. Kinds of odd odd experiences like that.
One guide tells a story about a guy on a

(34:57):
night tour standing in one of the cells where the
group in the hole. The guide was explaining how prisoners
would have their identity stripped away, made silent, and made invisible.
The guy interrupts her and says, okay, who just said
my name? Nobody had said his name. The rest of
the group just shook their heads. He said he heard

(35:19):
his full name, first and last name whispered right into
his ear in a calm male voice.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
Robert Dog, Robert Doll. You're gonna bark for me. Boy,
they call you the dog. I got a bone you
can nick on. Boy.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
I'm a midget. I'm a scary ghost midget. I saw
your stupid, fucking fat friend, and I'm sick of being
picked on trying to pick me up. Try man. He
killed me. He blew raspberries into my stomach. I'm dead, dude.

(36:14):
I don't ever want to go to prison, but if
I made the news, because like I picked up a
midget and dropped him by accidental, he died. I think
I would kind of have to accept my fate and
just enjoy my new found stardom, be crazy, like, what
are you in for?

Speaker 5 (36:35):
I killed my wife?

Speaker 1 (36:37):
What are you in for? I dropped a midget and
killed him, a big, old, fat drunk one. He was
top heavy, and he laid it head first. He lied
to me about a car man. Speaking of which, Saturday
night is John's last match? Yeah? Yeah, I saw that.

(36:58):
There's lots of there's quite the love of air going
on online right now.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
And.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
John Cena is like the last He's like the last one.
I'd say, you know him, maybe Jericho, But they're like
the last ones from from our generation. Sure, they're the
last ones. Edge still doing a little bit. Christians still
in there too, I believe. Yeah, but those guys, i'd say,

(37:25):
I'd say, scene is the last one that meant something. Yeah,
that's the that's the last, like of the A listers.
Sure so top talent. Congratulations of Jonathan Cena in his
illustrious career, not to mention all the things that he's
done for everybody. Oh yeah, he used to sell John
Cena shoes at Kmart and I tried to go buy

(37:47):
him and they only had children's sizes, and it made
me feel bad about myself. As you were looking for
I was looking for like John cenavel crow shoes. Yeah,
that's that's cool. Fucking nine and a half wide. Yeah,
a wuld to war ten sways. Oh. Another visitor walked

(38:11):
into cell three at the separate prison and instantly got dizzy.
His chest tightened like he was having a panic attack.
He backed out of the cell, feeling went away. He
steps back into the cell. Paul Spike's throat tightens. He
feels like he's being watched from the top corners of
the room. Third time, against the guides, against the guide's advice.
He steps in and he starts crying. No reason, no

(38:34):
memory attached, just raw panic and sadness. You don't have
to believe in ghosts to see what's wrong with that building.
You put that much suffering, that much pain, that much
trauma in one box for that length of time, and
it's possible that that energy manifests and the walls start
talking back a little bit more. There's a lot of people,

(38:56):
and AH might be one of them. You say a
play Saint fucking Haunted. Enough bad shit happens in one place.
I believe in energy, whether it's bad energy, good energy,
bad juju, good juju. I there's definitely something to that,
right man. Here's gotta be. There has to be, especially

(39:18):
when you have this amount of amount of pain and
torture going on. In one building on the hill above
the settlement sits a house that looks harmless at first glance.
It's actually the parsonage. This is where the prison chaplains
and their families lived. And you think that the preacher's house,
that's a safe spot, that it's off limits from these
demonic entities and ghosts. Not the case. Over the years,

(39:43):
several families lived there, and the stories stack up. There
are reports of heavy footsteps pacing upstairs, but no one
is up there, the sound of furniture dragging across the floor.
Because ghosts loved nothing than to remodel in the middle
of the night. I think we've learned that over the years.
Interior design, they love it. Doors slamming with enough force

(40:04):
to shake the walls, and cold spots that feel like
someone walked through you. Dude, I would love for someone
to fucking come inside me just to walk right through me.
I think it definitely. I'd like to see what it
feels like. I have a ghost walk through you. You just
enter me. I'd climax and no one would believe you

(40:31):
what happened. I come because a ghosts walk through me.
I mean, how do you? Yeah, how do you pinpoint
exactly that that's what it was? This just jumped in
my head again. Somebody keeps on emailing us. They fucking
come when they poop and they have a serious medical condition.
That's pretty fucking cool. And they're like, I'm gonna keep

(40:53):
on writing you until you tell my story. They're holding
this hostile. I'm like, relaxed, but you get to that's
one come a day at least. Yeah, I think I'd
be finding so many reasons to poop. Taco Bell would
hate to see me come to buddy. Yeah, they'd be like,
oh my god again, or can't any Taco Bell gives

(41:15):
me diarrhea? Hopefully it does me.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Love chili cheese burritos, extra chili, one bean burrito with
extra red sauce.

(44:21):

Yeah, he's fucking goddamn juvenile of the lake. Would kill
all your goddamn space monkeys.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
God man, that's crazy, dude. One of the most famous
experiences involves a woman who stayed there when the house
was used as an accommodation. She woke up in the
middle of the night with the feeling that someone was
staring at her. Not the uh you know, oh kid,
it's a little creepy monster in the closet, but full
on adrenaline, heart racing, like there's a stranger in the

(45:12):
room with you. She opened her eyes and she saw
a woman in old fashioned clothing standing at the foot
of her bed, hands clenched, face twisted in grief, just staring,
not moving, not speaking. The witness said, she froze. She
looked away for a second, and when she looked back,
the figure was gone, but the mattress dipped slightly, like

(45:35):
somebody had just sat down on the edge of the
bed with her. The guides tell other stories too. There's
a little girl's voice crying mummy, mummy from an empty
room where I'm from Mummies or fucking dudes covered in
toilet papers, not the woman that shot you ot or
fucking meat trap, a shadow standing in the doorway of

(45:56):
the dining room, people feeling their shirt being tugged. A
small hand was grabbing on the house has also had
reports of Poltergey's style activity cutlery clattering, cuddlery clattering, cuddlery clattering,
cuddlery clattering, cuddlery clattering, cuddlery.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Clattering, fucking hated that so much, cuddlery clattering.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
I'm alos there, dude, I was trying to do it
ten times without a stutter. I bet you can't say
cuddlely clattering, toy boat toy boat, toy boat, cuddlery clattering,
glasses sliding across the tables, small objects going missing and

(46:43):
then turning up later, neatly arranged somewhere else. One guy
had walked into the kitchen area to find every chair
pulled out from the table. My wife be fucking pissed, dude,
like somebody had gotten up in a hurry. She had
uh just been there minutes before and everything was completely normal.
The partage feels less like one ghost. A lot of

(47:03):
people say it's more like not necessarily ghost, but emotional
leftovers of a whole set of families who lived in
the middle of all of the punishment, in the middle
of all the misery, watching men dragged away, hearing the floggings,
cuddlery clash, Yeah, hearing the floggings from their front porch,

(47:28):
dealing with illness, dealing with death, isolation themselves. Because you
gotta remember these families, they were facing a bit of isolation.
This wasn't normal, This wasn't the norm. These people were
subjected to this torturous camp right along with the inmates.
They're there, they're hearing it all, they're seeing their their
fa family members that work there go through it. Whatever

(47:51):
is there still wants to be noticed. Then there's the
commandant's house, which was that's like where the warden lived. Dolly,
you were in charge of running hell on Earth. This
is what this is your front row seat, nice furniture,
good view, and apparently you had some company. People staying

(48:12):
or working in that building have reported seeing a man
in a dark uniform standing in doorways, a figure looking
out an upstairs window when the building is locked and empty,
sudden waves of anger or dread for no reason. Especially
in the study, the strong smells of tobacco or rotten

(48:34):
sweet smell with no source. Try checking your fucking drawl broke.
You ever take your underwear off, there's a sweet smell,
like like you had an onion in there all day.
You know, I can't say I have I do that.
My wife caused me onion. She'd be like, oh, you
got onion balls tonight. I know you're taking a shower.

(48:57):
You got onion balls. You don't ever get onion balls.
I can't know. I don't you're a I don't. I
don't know where to go next. I mean, I know,
I know that's the dog. That's Sheldon, next door. Sheldon.

(49:17):
He's kind of becoming a part of the show. He is.
He stands in the yard and just barks. The sky
is the old old ship. Actually, I don't know how old.
He looks old as shit. But they're like, oh, he's
just a puppy because they talk to him like, oh,
you're a good puppy. I mean, I say that about
my old ass cat too. I don't call her a puppy,
but I call her a little baby. Little baby can

(49:40):
call me a little baby. Speaking of cats and speaking
of cat shit, Okay, specifically, there was an incident a
couple of weeks ago at Thanksgiving where I got cat
shit in my mouth, in my nose. I told that
story in the last podcast I believe. Then we got
a phone call that no parent ever wants to get.

(50:02):
My daughter called my wife and said, pumpkin pooped on
my purse and my coat. Okay, the problem with that.
My daughter worked. You know, she gets she works in
the coffee shop. She get early, goes there on the weekends.
She ran out the door in a haste, grabbed her
purse in her coat and just threw him in her
front seat. When she threw them in her front seat,

(50:24):
she got in her car and she's like, man, this
is a new car. She's like, this thing shouldn't smell
like poop already. I haven't even shitting here yet. My
dad's playing a sick joke on me, and she just
my dad must have been driving. She fung, She flung
fucking poop all over this thing, dude all over it,

(50:49):
and then went to work and just left it. You know,
my wife. She called my wife and said, my wife said,
cracked the windows. Oh fucking yeah, cracked the fucking windows,
leaving the fucking open. Leave it leave it filled to
the brim with poop. And I woke up and she
tells me about it. I still got sleep in my eyes.

(51:10):
I've still gotta you. Ever talked about cat shit with
a morning boner, Robert? I don't think so I did.
I had to get up. I went to my This
is how my morning went. I got my Bengal stuff on.
This is yesterday morning. I went to Walmart to get
smell good stuff. They had breakfast corn dogs and tater kegs.

(51:33):
Hey that's good. And I got those and I am
in the parking lot and I said, I'm gonna throw
these up as soon as I smell the cat shit, okay.
And then I went over to Dutch Bros. And I
went off the window, like, hey, what can I do
for you? Welcome with Dutch Bros. I was like, I
need Emily's keys. I came for the ship, give me
Emily's keys. They're like oh, and Emily like saw me.

(51:54):
She's like, are you here to clean up on the
cat poop? Yeah? I am the game of keys. I
cleaned the cat shit and her friend walked over for
a lunch break. She's like, what's going on? I was
like Paisley pooped in Emily's car. Paisley's my eight year old,
and she looked like she was about to like she's
getting water mouth, like she's just about to fall down
and pass out. I know she's got a week's stomach.

(52:16):
The little she she like lives here during the summer,
so I'm pretty familiar with her. Yeah, and she's like
that's gross. I'm like, I'm just kidding. Cat shit in
the car. I think it made it infinitely worse for it. Yeah,
And then I said, watchery step, there's a nug right here,
which there was. It was in between my daughter's pasture
door and her driver door. I got on the poop,

(52:36):
cleaned up, and I took the keys back from the
window and I was like, here's Emily's keys. And there
was another girl that wasn't there the first time. She's like, oh,
did you clean up all the cat poop? I was like, yeah,
I did. She's like, my dad left me when I
was three, and I'm like, oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
And then she said he would never clean up something

(52:59):
out of my car. Outree made a pretty conscious effort
to get away from you for your entire life. Of
course he's not. I kind of felt bad. And I
don't know if she's trying to recruit a dad or what,
but must have smelled a lot worse than a couple
of nugs of cat turds. I've got three daughters. I'm
ready for a son. I don't know. I mean, if
it was sure, so my daughters, they got boyfriends already

(53:21):
called my boy, my boys, these are my boys? Where's
my boys? They just they think I'm weird. Hey, man,
that's what that's your job, right, you gotta be weird.
One story goes that a tour guy was locking up
late and she was alone on sight walking past the
commandant's house, and she noticed a little light on upstairs,

(53:44):
and she went back inside, running inside the command's house
to turn off the light, and she heard someone walking
around above her, slow, heavy, methodical, steady steps. She called out, hello,
is anybody here? I'm sorry, hello, he said, anybody here?
Thinking a coworker was still there. No answer, The footsteps stopped.

(54:07):
She ran upstairs, checked each room empty, empty empty. On
her way back down, something thumped hard against the wall
behind her. Has sounded like someone punching the wall with
a closed fist. That was her last solo. Lock up here, beach,
get the fuck out of there for a fucking midget

(54:29):
tries to sell you a car. Whoa, well, here it
sound he makes and I picked him up. I just
want you. I wanna, I don't wanna. I can't overstate.
My dad was sweating. He was so nervous. You fucked
don't pick him up. It's just a few days before that,

(54:52):
my nephew, my nephew was here for Thanksgiving and he's like,
he's like two hundred pounds yeah, and my wife's like
he better, you better, Like he was fighting over a
seat with somebody, and my wife's like, you better stop,
and nic could come over here and pick you up.
And he's like, you can't pick me up on two
hundred freaking pounds. And I heard that. I was like, yeah,

(55:13):
I stood over, like I just walked over like fucking
cane dude, and my dad senses tingling, picked him up
and threw him around like a rag doll, and then
I started dry humping his head. You got a certain dominance,
I did, So that's what you gotta do. Man. You'll
let them know who the alpha is. Around the rest
of the site, there are pockets of weirdness. The hospital

(55:36):
where people see figures in long coats and visitors walk
out with sudden headaches and pressure in their chests. Sounds
like they're doing then he dude, like you're doing fentanyl.
The old workshops were men once labored on ships and timber,
now home to shadow figures. The duck behind walls just
as you turn your head. And the barracks where some
people say they wake up at night and accommodation nearby

(55:59):
and feel like someone is standing beside the bed watching.
In some places, it's not a big jump scare. It's
it's it's seemingly worse than that. It's subtle, and that's
the uneasiness of this whole entire haunting is not like
a bugh it's more of just like, oh fuck, something's
going really really bad. You stand in a hallway and
you feel fine, and then you take one step forward,

(56:19):
like you crossed an invisible line, and all of a sudden,
your body just like nope, your stomach drops, your nervous
system goes on a highlert, and you don't know why
you're standing in the same air, but all of a sudden,
it feels like somebody else is breathing the same air
that you're breathing. It doesn't. It's kind of hard to
explain it. I don't like that. Just offshore from Port
Arthur is a little lump of land called the Isle

(56:41):
of the Dead. Good name, straight to the point. This
is where you put your dead bodies. The island was
the cemetery for over one thousand people that were buried there, convicts, soldiers, civilians, children.
Some have headstones, but a majority of them do not.
The soil is basically layers of bones and mud, And

(57:05):
if you've ever put a bone in mud, send us
an email. Brohio podcast at email dot com. Dude that dude,
do you ever bone to bone some mud? I had
to go back to the after we bought the car.
I had to go back to the car lost with
my dad and my brother and the people that worked there,

(57:26):
and somebody said something. I was like, oh, I was
born in nineteen eighty seven. I eat fucking ass, and
my dad just like, you're a nasty motherfucker. I just
wanting to know what listen to that type of a response.
Look at somebody said, I was born in nineteen eighty seven,

(57:49):
I eat ass, I don't remember either. My Dad's just like,
you're fucking disgusting. I'm like, you never stucked on pennies
when you're a kid, Dad, That's what it tastes like,
like putting pennies in your mouth. Poop tastes like pennies,
not cat poop. I can vouch for that. These days,

(58:13):
you can take a small boat over the Aisle of
the Dead part of the tour. Guides will walk you around.
There's narrow paths between the trees and the old headstones.
You're thinking about picking that midget up, aren't you. I'm
just thinking of it.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
Like this car can fit so many cat turns in it.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, cat shitting this thing all
the time. That's really what he's sounded like, Like, I'm
so impressed with how accurately I am fucking doing an
impression of this midget. If I call my dad and like, Dad,
I'm gonna pretend to be that midget for a second, Hey, nobody,
just you lose control turn his new drinking game. I mean,

(58:57):
every times you say a midget, you got to get
a shot fucking done. Who fuck you know we have
any little people that listen to this show. I hope
we do. I want one because I want to be
like discriminatory against, but I want to put one on
a quarium. I want I would thoroughly enjoy that. I'll
get a heat lamp and shipum like a little fucking

(59:19):
rock pond. I'll keep the leaves wet for him and
stuff a couple of crickets in there from deep. Put
the fucking trimp dust. I'll clean their belly with a toothbrush.

(59:45):
Oh you got a box turtle. No, it's a midget. Look,
he's under that fucking log over there. He's just hidden
under a rock. He's over there licking the he's licking
the window. He's licking the side of the aquarium. That's

(01:00:05):
a big box turtle. A snapper. Yeah. He drank twelve
millar lights last night. It's a fucking drunks off mirror. Howardster.
He said that fucking hank anger drunken dwarf. God dude,
he was. He was disgusting.

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
Oh shit, alright, it's uh fucking fucking that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
So is this illegal?

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
He this is what he wanted ever since I picked
him up, dropped him on the head. He just can't
be on his own take this dude brush. Oh okay,
how that hurt? Bring it together? You know, iHeart Radio

(01:00:56):
does like those podcast awards. I'm really trying to win
one next year, and if things keep on going like this,
we're not going to win an award anything.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
Alright, alright.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Visitors at the Aisle of the Dead well they report
seeing a woman in gray or black moving between the trees,
and just out of clear view, a young boy in
eighteen hundred style clothing running along a path ahead of
the group, then vanishing use a toothbrush to clean stummach.

(01:01:37):
Oh god, Oh that fucked me up really bad. I
want to issue a formal apology. Oh man, if we
did have a like, imagine a little person this is
their first episode. This. I can't stand for this shit.

(01:01:57):
This is this is unredeemable. I can't. Oh, don't matter
if you stand for it or not, We'll pick your
ass up. We know it doesn't matter if you stand
or not. You're still not tall enough. People hear soft
voices right behind them when no one is there, and
they have the feeling of someone walking alongside them brushing

(01:02:18):
their arm. But then they look and they're all on
One tourist said he paused at the grave, bent down
to read the stone, and clearly heard a man's voice say,
that's not me. He turned around, and no one close
enough to have whispered it was anywhere around. The guide
was ten feet away talking to the rest of the group.

(01:02:39):
Another person on a quieter tour looked back at photos
later and found a pale face in the background behind
a tree, not a blur, an actual face, the kind
of detail where you can see the eyes, you can
see the expression. The problem. That section of the island
had been empty for many, many many years, No one
living had been standing there, and the picture was taken Burier.

(01:03:03):
Operators and staff sometimes refuse to go near the island
after dark. Not in a dramatic way, not in a
ghost hunter type way, or just like they're trying to
tell a tall, tall tale, more like a quiet, nervous yeah,
I'm not fucking going there. I'm cool on that bro
If the if the separate prison is where where men broke,

(01:03:24):
the Isle of the Dead is where whatever was left
of them sank into the ground, and the ground still
talks to people that are there visiting the island now. Religion,
it was a big part of Port Arthur's system, not
because anyone cared about saving souls, simply because they believe
fear of God might help control the convicts. Inside the

(01:03:46):
separate prison, there's a small chapel where men attended services
in total silence each each each one of these men
stood a narrow booth separated by wooden dividers, only able
to see a sliver of the priest. It was like
watching church from inside of a filing cabinet. People standing

(01:04:07):
in that chapel today they report hearing distant hymns when
the building is empty, feeling someone take a deep breath
right behind them, a sudden emotional wave. They experience intense sadness,
intense guilt, just a heavy feeling of hopelessness for no
personal for no particular reason at all. Sometimes during night tours,

(01:04:30):
when the guide pauses to talk the group, here is
a soft murmur, like like men whispering at the edge
of hearing. The guide stops, Everybody looks around and the
sound stops as well. Turn of lights back on, and
the building is just stone and wood again. Then there's
the large ruined church near the center of the site.

(01:04:53):
It's ruthless now, not ruthless as in like someone you
know kiching the balls, but ruthless, like there's no roof
on on it. If you had a speech impediment, that
could mean ruthless, or it could mean that you don't
have anything to cover you from the rain. I don't
know which one's worse. I'm rufous or it could be
your name. That's true, I'm rufous. Weddings happen there during

(01:05:15):
the day. At night, well, that's a bit of a
different story. People that that that frequent that place, They
say they hear footsteps echo behind them on the stones
that's right in front of their eyes and clearly empty.
They see a figure in the upper window area where
no one can stand, and they also catch glimpses of
a man in a long coat near the entrance, who

(01:05:36):
disappears when anyone walks towards him. The one of the
creepier things staff talk about isn't even a full apparition.
It's a sound. Every once in a while, people hear
a single sharp cough in the empty building. Not a
weird noise, a human cough a it's just a normal

(01:05:58):
sound that it stands out more than any horror movie
jump scare because it doesn't belong like, nobody's there, nobody's
around and sure a shit, a fucking ghost doesn't have
the flu. Yeah, there's nobody there to make it. As
if all that wasn't enough, Port Arthur got hit with
something else in nineteen ninety six, and that glued fresh

(01:06:18):
horror onto already cursed ground and this is a this
is fucking horrible man. On April twenty eighth, nineteen ninety six,
a man named Martin Bryant carried out one of the
worst mass shootings in modern history. He killed thirty five
people and wounded twenty three others, moving through the historic

(01:06:39):
site and nearby areas with terrifying speed and randomness. Tourists, workers, families,
people who were just there for a day out were
not going to glorify him on this episode, but it's
important to understand what he did to that place. Port
Arthur was already a site of generational trump from the prison,

(01:07:01):
from everything that happened, the beatings, the deaths, the isolation,
and to stack this on top of it, the modern
blood soaking into the same soil. Survivors and staff from
that day talked about pure panic, confusion, the sound of
gunfire echoing off those old stone walls, people hiding in

(01:07:22):
buildings that used to hold convicts and guards. The past
and present kind of all merged together for a moment.
After the massacre, some people started reporting new activity. There
were strange sounds and voices around the Broad Aero Cafe,
specifically at night, the feeling of being watched from corners
where some of the shooting took place, and then even

(01:07:45):
more so, sudden waves of dread, sudden waves of sadness,
and spots that hadn't been active before. They're also the
side stories that the eerie details people only talk about quietly.
A few people that Bryant. And this is where we
in the earlier in the episode, we said, you know,

(01:08:06):
you can go to a haunted place. You know, you
can go to Waverley Hill Sanatorium, you can go to
the the Stanley Mansion. All these different things are the
Stanley Hotel. You go to these destinations to look for ghosts.
But what about possibly a haunted location that calls out

(01:08:27):
to people from from distances and and that's what we're
that's what this claim is that Bryant had talked about
hearing voices or feeling drawn to Port Arthur. Others say
the site felt different in the weeks leading up to it,
like like it was almost like a pressure cooker building.

(01:08:49):
And you can take that with a grain of salt,
but it fits with how people talk about cursed locations.
Once something gets a taste or violence, it doesn't always
care what century it's in. Australia completely changed its gun
laws after that day. Port Arthur became not just a
prison ruin, but a national symbol of tragedies. So now

(01:09:10):
when you walk those grounds, you're not just walking on
eighteen hundreds misery. You're also standing where recently people died
in the nineteen nineties, in a place that was kind
of already overflowing with bad history, with grief, with trauma.
It's a lot going on at this location. If there
ever was a spot built to attract and hold onto

(01:09:31):
dark energy, this is, in fact, this is it. So
what are we actually dealing with at Port Arthur. You've
got a classic old school residual hauntings. You know, you've
got footsteps, voices, coughs, doors closing, the same sounds repeated
in the same place as like an old record player

(01:09:52):
that never stops playing. But then you also have claims
of intelligent hauntings. You have entities that respond to people
being there, things that seem to notice you, follow you,
stand behind you and your back is turned, call out
your name, breathe in your ear. And you also have
physical phenomena stretches, people being pushed, objects moving, You've got

(01:10:14):
sudden headaches, chest pressure, and these things will vanish the
second you step away from almost like an infested area.
And you've got that feeling. Anyone who has visited a
truly haunted place knows what this is. It's not just fear.
It's that sense that that the space around you is

(01:10:35):
crowded with something you can't see, even when you're all alone.
And I think whenever I was looking at a topic
for this LEEP week, I was like, Ah, what about
Waverley Hills and Kentucky. We've already covered that topic and
I forgot about it. But I do remember you were
on that tour there, and that's considered to be one
of the most haunted places in the United States of America,
whether that's true or not, and you mentioned that it

(01:10:57):
kind of just felt, it felt thick. You just felt
it felt like there was electricity in the air. It's
just a little different and almost like you're you want
to see things so much. Yeah, I do start to
see things. I think a lot of it is that.
I think it's you get in any place that has

(01:11:19):
a big history like that, and especially if you're going
through like a curated tour where they're talking about it,
I feel like it's, you know, it's you want to
see something. It's almost like all encompassing, you know what
I mean, like you want to so bad that you're
you tend to see things that are easily explainable that
you attribute to something else, you know what I mean.
I think it's I think it's something like that. Yeah,

(01:11:41):
and that could be the same thing here at Port Arthur.
But what what can't be argued. There's a lot of
really really bad stuff has happened at this location. Yeah,
some people think it's simple that it's when you ask

(01:12:01):
the question what makes Port Arthur so intense, they say
that trauma leaves a mark. Hundreds of floggings, thousands of floggings,
thousands of people abused, broken and buried. All of that
energy just soaks into the walls, It soaks into the grounds,
It infiltrates the air. Others look at the whole wayout.

(01:12:22):
A prison on a remote peninsula ring by cold water,
shark infested water, with a cemetery island right next to
it seems like the perfect setup for a spiritual pressure cooker.
Nothing gets out and everything just continues to build. There's
also the idea that places like this they thin the veil.

(01:12:45):
That if there is any kind of border between whatever
we are and whatever the afterlife is for us, a
spot like Poor Arthur might be where where the veil thins,
you don't just get ghosts of individual people. You get
something bigger, something that uses those memories. It latches on

(01:13:06):
to the to the voices from the past, and it
traverses time and you hear it present day. Think about
it for a second. You've got tourists walking in, carrying cameras, phones,
all kinds of attention. You've got guides that tell the
same terrible stories night after night after night after day

(01:13:27):
after day. The past is constantly being spoken, remembered and
re energized. Maybe there's something that's feeding off of it,
that is in fact there. And when a place has
this much pain across literal decades, convict era families and

(01:13:50):
then a modern mass shooting that saw thirty five innocent
people lose their lives. Start to ask the question, is
the site haunted because bad things happen there? Or do
bad things keep happening because the site is already wrong
and you don't know why how? But it's almost like

(01:14:11):
you want to build a giant wall around it and
just say, ever, forget about this one new kit Let
it melt down. That's the that's the story of Port Arthur.
Interesting port author, Port Arthur, Australia. A lot of big

(01:14:32):
chested women in Australia. I don't know what they put
in the milk there, but fucking wallaby milkman, Wallaby milk.
I never milked a wallaby. I mean, you don't know
if you can, Oh, I can? You can always find
the milk. Yeah, dude, I'm like a kitten fighting for

(01:14:53):
its life in there. Yes, that's Port Arthur. That was
a pretty cool episode. Not often do we do haunted locations.
I feel like this one held its weight though, a
lot of really bad ship going on there. Midgets and aquariums,
lots of midgets holding its weight. I'd love to have

(01:15:14):
seen you pick that guy up than me. They'd be
like picking up a Kodiak bear. I just know his
first name, so maybe we like Facebook search Jesse Midget.
This is just his last name, is Jesse the Midgets?

Speaker 4 (01:15:37):
When he went by, Yeah, well he knows what he is.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Get your fucking hands off me, Get the fuck off me.
I can tell he's just been chastised his whole fucking life. No,
I was gonna do nothing but make it worse. Uh shit, frustrating.

(01:16:06):
I get it. Man. If you're just wake up and
just like, God, thank you for making me a straight,
non midget male. I don't think I ever have said that,
but hell yeah, I don't know if I can necessarily
think him for being straight because I'm Yeah, who's to
say that's right or not. Some people are like, oh,

(01:16:26):
he's gay, and I'm just like I've never been like, no,
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
I'm just like, fuck you, I'll show you gay. Oh wait,
I'll show you how gay I am. Watch me pick
up this midget? How strong I am?

Speaker 1 (01:16:50):
Lut me down? Pepper has this this pig, squeaky toy. Yeah,
and she I think she is to talk. Dude, you
think so? If Anny and you were looking for a dog,
you get a border Collie. It's the most It's incredible
just there. They're so different. But she has this pig,

(01:17:12):
channels the pig. Yeah, and she can communicate to the pig.
That's pretty cool. Pig. I'd imagine that. Okay here, yeah, perfect,
this is the pig.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
I know these things.

Speaker 1 (01:17:29):
Yeah, Pepper's got one of them pigs and she just
runs around the house. My wife would just talk about it.

(01:17:54):
Take that away from her. I love it. She just
live in her best life. Like in it, like when
everyone starts fucking arguing and everyone's wrestling and everyone's yelling
each other, and then Pepper just starts running. I just
sat back, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):
I'm just like, it's just pure fucking chaos. That's the
motherfucker bird. I don't even care I've lost total This
is what I live for.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Yeah, this is what I want. You have to accept
defeat every once in a while, and it's just like
it's not worth it to even do anything about it.
It's like, fuck it, let it go, let her rip
your chip. I do that, man, It's it. Laugh man.
Sometimes that's all you can do. And I think back,
my dad never yelled at us for being loud. He
just shake his head and just be like s That's
kind of how I am. Yeah, when I'm supposed to

(01:18:40):
be mad, I start laughing. Shit, they just disrespect me
and stuff. They don't listen. That's that's how my kids are.
Too soon. But then I bow up like a cobra
and they get They cry and ship would you call
mom a bitch in the bathroom, I'm like, yeah, I
was trying to kill myself. We were her teddies hit

(01:19:02):
the floor. We know she pulled him out. Why was
she fighting you naked? Now he do this thing. Now,
I'll like, I'll fucking rise my wife up and like hey, god,
damn girl, like grab her butt or something. Yeah. Uh,
And they'll be like, oh, dad's trying to get a
fourth They always say that, Oh god, dude, she got

(01:19:24):
If my wife got pregnant, I would buy a plane
ticket and I would carry a knife on the plane.
Oh he needs a box cutter. B get one of
the mayor marshalls to shoot me. Yeah, something like that.
Something crazy, man, Yeah, that's a good way out. No,
no intentions of doing any harm, sure, just trying to

(01:19:45):
get somebody to help me with a possibility of having
a fourth child. Suicide by cop one of my one
of my good friends. He uh, he just had a
he just had a daughter, and he's like, I want
to say, he's like, forty four. Oh fuck, you just

(01:20:07):
had a daughter. Oh that's rough. I mean, children are
a blessing. And sometimes, man, sometimes people can't have him
till later on in life, which I completely sympathize with. Sure,
and I'm not you know, I'm not spoiled over here,
but dude, having a kid of forty four would not
be fun. That's definitely not optimal, right, I don't even

(01:20:31):
know my dick can make a baby anymore. Dde. Yeah, man,
I mean sometimes when I come nothing comes out. It's
like an old lawnmower to smoke. You'd be at that point,
what sixty two, when the kid's grown, you might not
even be fucking alive. I'm dead genetics, I've got like

(01:20:53):
another ten fifteen years. Yeah, it doesn't sound fun. Man.
You can't even keep up with a fucking kid in
your late forties, especially a bait like I mean, you
can can. I wouldn't want to. I love babies, though
I do them, absolutely, they're the best. Like good babies.
I don't like bad babies. I like babies that you
can throw the one they're like, well, I have fun show.

(01:21:17):
So if any of you want to give us a
baby that we can throw, we have uh, we have
an aquarium that we can put them in. You know,
don't mind the midget good talk, all right? Well, in
the meantime, we'll do another episode this week. We'll call
it the uh Brohio Confessionals. So if you would like
