Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, Twisted humans.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Do you find yourself wanting to know more about the
latest murder, conspiracy, cult or haunting.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Than this is the podcast for you. I'm Alicia and
I'm Sierra, and this is Twisted and Uncorked. Hello, and
welcome to another episode of Twisted and Uncorked. You may
have noticed another version of our artwork if you're tuning
(00:30):
in here, or if things look a little strange, that
is our new logo. If you missed last week's episode
and you're not caught up yet, or if you're just
starting out and you're like, what the fuck is this
lady talking about? This is episode two oh one, and
I have a haunted history episode for you today. I'm
(00:51):
very excited to get into. As a consensus among our
listeners it is that they really enjoyed episode four, my
Haunted Little tour of New Orleans. It is wild to
comprehend how long ago that was, but I figured it
was a good way for me to kick off our
next hundred episodes. So today I will be telling you
about some stops local to me in Vancouver, British Columbia.
(01:15):
But before we get into that, Sierra, do you have
a fun fact for me? And hopefully it is not
that Samson was violated.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It is not that I don't know why Samson's face
was on backwards when I got in here. Okay, it's weird,
but he's good now. Ghost face on backwards cool cool yep.
So anyway, my fun fact is about spiders because this
is a spooky episode. Spider silk is an antiseptic. So
(01:46):
when the world ends and band aids run out, grab
some web, you're.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Good to go. You will not see me grabbing spider webs. Personally,
I just can't do it. I spend once oh at
my work cleaning the floors in the showroom, and I
don't know why it is spider central in there in
the corners of like every little dark crack because it's
(02:12):
like a big open like warehouse he loft type thing.
But I'm like, there's been two baby wolf spider incidents,
and I will say that one ended in murder, and
I still feel bad about it. Not my gosh, I
told you one of the guys stomped on it and
the other one I trapped in a wolf.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Spiders are scari'es here. I don't look at me like that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
There's looking and one of them crawled out from the
rug at the front door, so I trapped it in
a wineglass from the showroom, and I asked my coworker
if she would come and take it outside for me.
As soon as I can hear the feet on the glass,
I'm out. As soon as I can hear their legs. Amount. Yeah,
I guess I feel like that's reasonable. That's a reasonable
(03:00):
reaction to somebody that takes spiders outside. But I guess
in a pinch, that's necessary.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It might be what's your fun fact.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Minus hotel related? Okay, and it is that the skybeam
that shoots out of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas
attracts so many insects that it's established in a new
ecosystem of moths, bats and owls.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Right. I love that, I do, except when they say
a new ecosystem of moths, bats and owls. What I
imagine is there are moths, and so there are bats
to eat the moths, and so there are owls to
eat the bats. And I don't like that part.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I think the owl I'm going to live in the
realm that the owls are eating the bugs and the
moths are eating the bugs.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well, you don't know that I do because I worked
with owls at the National Park or the same part.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I got so defensive for no reason.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I know that is let's just okay. Maybe they're eating
the moths. That's protein I.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Used to feed them mice. I think they want something
a little bit bigger than a moth. But yeah, sure,
let's live in your world. I like the fun facts.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
In that world that's are safe. So that's the world
that we live in, and I will accept nothing else.
And I will accept today's beverage because it is quite tasty.
I literally had in my notes that it's starting to
get warm and summery and nice out, and as we're
recording this, it is pouring rain and gloomy, and I'm
(04:42):
wearing flannel, so not the vibe I was originally thinking
when I pulled this drink up.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But with one hundred and one slash thirty eight here yesterday,
so you got to mix.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Up for it. Fear is refreshed. But it is the
drink berries and bubbles from the hotel bar in one
of the hotels that I will be talking about in
a second here, And it is a vodka muddled raspberries, lemon,
juice and your spritzer of choice. They put soda water
(05:15):
in it, but you could do sprite, ginger ale, whatever
you want. I did ginger ale because I just wanted
ginger ale, because I didn't want to taste the vodka
because I'm using cheap vodka. So that's what I've got,
and I've got my bone straw and it's really refreshing,
and I have a lot of ice and I'm happy.
(05:37):
How did you make yours? Because I figured there's really
only two ingredients for you to work with. Three alls I.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Was told was raspberries and lemon juice and spitzer every choice.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, that there's poor instructions on my part.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's all I was told. And so what I did
is I muddled a bunch of raspberries in some lef
and juice and then strained it so I didn't have
raspberries floating around in there. Smart and then I topped
it with lemon cello lacroix. Oh, it's not bad. I
(06:15):
have a salted rim just because I thought it was pretty.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It is pretty. Did you take a picture of your beverage?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I got a photo.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Sierra's are a bartender and podcast photographer, because my drinks
always look like a crime scene in yours.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Listen, when you're making mocktails, they have to be pretty.
They have to be pretty or else that's.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Ow juice. So that's brilliant. Though. With the Lacroix, they
have a fun beverages and are fridge at work and
there's a Mohito Lacroix in there, and I'm cures to try.
Is it good?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I didn't try. I didn't buy it. I almost bought
it today, but I was like, I just know it'll
be good enough.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, I'll try it tomorrow at work and I'll report back.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Okay, I saw them today though, I was super excited
about it.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
There was another one too. It was called beach Plum
or something like that. Instead of beach bum it looked
like a sex on the beach type.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Oh yeah, okay, brilliant. I love it. And I do
love this beverage as well. I don't really like the
vodka in it. I'm not gonna lie. I forgot that.
Me and Kevin ran out of vodka because we use
it for Caesars, and uh so all I had was
these little mini bottles. So me and Kevin both used
(07:47):
to be bartenders. So we have a bowl in our
liquor cabinet filled with minis. So I just grabbed whatever
free fucking sample was floating around eight years ago. Oh gosh,
But in might drinks.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Like wine, where it gets better with time.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't think it gets worse. I just think it
was never good to begin with, and that it's lived
through like forty degree summers.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
And cold sometimes and the grease of my kitchen.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh yeah, no, it just keeps getting better.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And alcohol does evaporate eventually too. So half of because
Kevin is really not a drinker at all, but half
of those little bottles are like half empty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Grabbed three of them, just you know, to make two shots.
But it worked out and it's tasty. But that said,
today's episode does have the same drink that we are
drinking featured, probably looking much prettier like Cira's. There was
probably straining involved. I will have to try it in
(08:57):
person one day when I'm in Vancouver next and back.
But we are going to hear all about this haunted
little tour after this quick break, So welcome back, as
I hinted in the intro, and with my fun fact.
Our first stop on this Haunted Vancouver tour is Hotel
Vancouver on West Georgia.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh that's a hotel.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Original name, Yeah, Hotel Vancouver, and there's three of them.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
O great.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It opened first in nineteen thirty nine and it was
the third of the chain opened in Vancouver. It is
a chateau style hotel with a steep pitched copper roof,
ornate dorms, and gargoyles. Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yes, that makes up for everything.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Absolutely. It was most recently restored in the nineteen nineties,
and I will say that it is beautiful. Even the
restaurant and bar with the drink I featured, is more
than enough to make this peasant feel fancy. I did
not try this drink when I was but I have
had a cocktail there before with a friend of mine.
This hotel is beautiful, yes, but the reason it is
(10:07):
on today's tour is because there is an infamous resident
ghost there. She is elegantly dressed and known as the
Lady in Red. We've done so many ladies in whites lately,
I had to throw in a lady in red.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
She is most you know, you look good in red.
She is most often spotted in the lobby or on
the fourteenth floor, usually hanging near elevator doors. Hanging out,
hanging out near the elevator doors.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You said hanging, and I'm like, is she hanging? How
did she die? Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I see? Yeah, No, hanging out near the elevator doors.
Very important visual.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
On one occasion, when a family was checking into the
room on the fourteenth floor, they opened the door to
see the lady in red star in their room. They
went down and asked the front ask if perhaps it
had been double booked, but it wasn't. In another incident,
a bellman was carrying bags to room fourteen oh three
(11:12):
when he saw the lady in red follow his guests
through their room door. When he entered behind them to
drop their bags, the lady had vanished. I don't like that.
And this is not the first vanishing act ghost.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
In our story.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Great The Lady is believed to be the ghost of
a woman named Jenny Pearl Cox. She was a Vancouver
socialite who regularly attended attended the hotel's ballroom dances in
the early nineteen forties. After leaving the hotel one day,
she was involved in a car accident and sadly did
(11:49):
not survive, given that this was the last place that
she was that is Bible, but no one knows for sure,
as she disappears too quickly before anyone can get too close.
The hotel even paid homage to their famous ghost by
hosting a pop up murder mystery speakeasy on the fourteenth
(12:10):
floor called The Scarlet, which I desperately wish I knew
about when it was a thing. God damn it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, that sounds fun, right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
In an old, spooky, beautiful hotel having a murder mystery party. Yes, please,
Actually it sounds like one of the episodes of Only
Murders in the Building, and it could be dangerous, so
maybe i'd take that back. In addition to our Lady
in Red, there has been disembodied footsteps, strange sounds on
security cameras and the street in the stairwells, which I
(12:44):
don't like because those security cameras only turn on when
they're picking up something. The elevator stops at floors where
seemingly no one has pressed the button or is waiting,
doors will open and close on their own, and some
guests have even reported soft whispers when no one is around,
which is my least favorite of all of that.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Listen, I have to say I worked in a hotel before.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It was not always forget about that it was.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Not haunted, but if it were, I would add to
the hauntings on purpose. I would have. I would have.
If I worked at a haunted hotel, I would for
sure go. I would because as a hotel worker, we
would have to walk the floors to make sure, you know,
there's no one in the hallways, no one.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Speaking that you were going to fuck with people.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I would, one hundred percent if I worked at that hotel,
walk up the stairs to the fifth floor and push
the button, and then walk down to probably the third
and push the button, and then I would do that.
I would do that all day long. Like, sometimes it
would be me, Sometimes it would be the pearl lady. Uh, sorry,
(13:54):
caught my mind because of my pearl lady. I don't
remember her first name. What's her first name?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Oh yeah, I don't remember her first name either.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Your lady's first name, Oh Jenny, Jenny, Okay, I just
caught onto pearl. Anyway, Sometimes it would be me, sometimes
it would be Jenny. No one would ever know.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, if you guys get luckily, Sierra has not come
to Vancoure yet. When she is at that hotel, I
will let everyone know.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So me and Jenny will buttons together.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm just like at the hotel bar having a cocktail
and did running up the stairs. You know what, She's
not from here, guys, It's okay. The second stop on
our list is the Vague Theater. I have been to
many concerts and shows that this infamous and gorgeous little
(14:47):
theater just walking in though, I could tell you that
this place is haunted. The Vague Theater opened in nineteen
forty one, and at the time it was mainly a
movie theater, but sometimes hosted live performances, just like it
does today. In nineteen eighty eight, the theater was briefly
closed due to declining business, but reopened again just a
(15:09):
few years later after a little renovation to restore it.
This included the installation of state of the art lighting
and sound equipment, which are still in the theater today.
But let's talk about the ghosts first, and probably the
only well known ghost at this location is the spirit
(15:29):
of a dark haired and quote unquote severe looking man.
I'm not sure what this means.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But I don't like good severely bad looking.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We'll have to visit and find out. He's encountered in
the working areas of the premises, most often on the stage,
on the catwalks, in the projection booth, and in the
basement hallway. He has also been spotted in the audience
sitting close to the stage, but when our dis playing
have looked back, the man seems to disappear. Also like
(16:04):
super alarming to just like look out into the audience
mid performance and see somebody described as severe looking.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I just want to know what's severe looking means?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I do do.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Go away, fruit fly. Many members have interactions with him,
especially on the narrow corridor that leads downstairs. They jokingly
refer to this area as the Haunted Hallway because of
its creepiness, and from time to time they'll also hear
banging noises and slamming of doors. Now, the corridor that
(16:38):
they're talking about is very similarly mimicked to how you
walk up the various floors to get to the higher seats.
It is super narrow and it's so dark in there.
If I were to hear that, shit, no, no, I'm sorry,
I quit that day.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Actually, yeah, Bill Alma Ghost Jump scared fall to my death.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I just had like a mental image of you as
a cartoon and like you're like scared, but like your
spirit leaves your body and it's just like a little
ghost in your corpse, just like like one of those
little like push butts skids to death. You stick your
finger in and it like stiffens and then you like
let it go, and it's like, I don't know, that's
(17:22):
what I pictured. Scared to death. Actually, you know what,
if your goal is to just fuck with people too
as a ghost, guys, watch out. Hopefully Sierra doesn't die
in a highly trap. They'll know, they'll know what it's you.
Somebody out there listening is way younger than us. I
(17:43):
know it. I've seen our statistics. Bill Allman, the general
manager of the Vogue Theater, managed there between nineteen ninety
four and nineteen ninety seven. He had many personal experiences
with the ghosts. With the theater's ghost, the first encounter
was in the summer of nineteen ninety four. Quote. I
(18:03):
was locking up the carpentry room in the basement and
got that distinct feeling that somebody was standing behind me.
When I turned around, I saw what I describe as
a three dimensional shadow go by the door. So I
scrambled out into the hallway and no one was there.
I was the only one around. I left the theater
relatively quickly after that. I believe I set a speed
(18:26):
record that day getting out of work. End quote.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
A three dimensional shadow. That is a good way to
describe seeing right right just ough.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, no, I like picture like shadow figure?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah like you know, yeah, but shadows are not supposed
to be three dimensional.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Fair, so shadow figures are usually just like creepy missed
down the hallway. I was so sorry to anyone that
watches our show on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't want it to anyone who's because there's been.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
A lot of Alicia miming today.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah it's good, it's good comment.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It's A month and a half later, a drum set
was set up on the stage for a Beatles tribute
band called Revolver. As Bill walked up the stairs onto
the stage from the lower level, he distinctly heard a
basic beat of the being played on the drums. When
he got up to the stage and turned the corner,
(19:29):
it stopped and no one was there. About a year
and a half later, in nineteen ninety five, the Vogue
Theater played a host called Unforgettable. This performance paid a
tribute to the music of Nat King Cole. A week
before the show was set to run, Bill was giving
a tour of the theater to his friend and his girlfriend,
(19:52):
and this included the projection booth. A week or so later,
Bill's girlfriend mentioned seeing a Youngish man with dark hair
and severe features in the projection booth, sitting at one
of sitting in one of the old chairs. The man
had turned his head toward them, gave off an angry energy,
(20:13):
and then disappeared before her eyes, which is like, also
okay again with the severe looking and also yeah, now
he's pissed off, So now I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And severe looking maybe like severe like like he had
this like serious like oh yeah, I picture.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Like a very gaunt, scary man. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Severe looking.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
She's just like a terrible descriptor like I've never heard
that used before, like to describe you. I'd be like
petite olive, these skin, long brown hair, nose ring that's
severe looking, Like what the fuck does that? Watch a
story come up about this man.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Severe looking typically describes a person's appearance as serious, stern,
or forbidding, often lacking warmth or friendliness.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, so scary cranky man, all.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Right, yes, right, yes serious.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I don't like that at all, though, so do to do.
One performer also saw the Vogue spirit and described him
as a young man, dirtysh with dark hair, severe features,
wearing light colored clothing. We have a new feature. The
next day, a theater employee named David Ron saw the
(21:41):
ghost as well. While he was locking up the theater
for the night, he walked up to the stage and
happened to look up towards the projection booth. He saw
somebody standing in the doorway, which is haunting. No thank you.
And on another occasion, when David was on the catwalk
above the audience, he felt somebody brush past his right shoulder,
(22:03):
like somebody bumped into him as he was passing. And
because this is a suspended catwalk, again, rude ghost.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Again, I would become a ghost fall to my dead.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, exactly, poor David. Since then, the ghost has been
seen or experienced many other times. In the summer of
nineteen ninety six, for example, a box office worker was
alone in the lobby when she suddenly sensed a presence.
She looked around and she saw a shadow figure climbing
the stairs to the balcony level. In two thousand, Arnold Robinson,
(22:39):
a bass singer of a local group called the Nylons,
also had a personal experience. As he walked down to
his dressing room, he felt like somebody was walking alongside him.
He could feel a strong presence there, and when he
got to his dressing room, he even said out loud,
if you want to hang out, that's cool, which I love. Yeah,
(23:00):
it's such like a cool music scene. Yeah, if you
want to hang out, that's fine. Just don't scare me
to my death. Thank you. Two psychic mediums visited the
Vogue in early two thousand and on two separate occasions.
Both said that somebody had experienced a bad fall near
the fly gallery, which is like those ropes and weights
(23:21):
that hold stuff stages, and they were able to say
they weren't able to say whether the accident victim was
severely injured or had died. However, Bill says that this
information has not been verified through historical records about anyone
dying in the theater from falling. But the theater is old,
(23:42):
and you know, it can be a dangerous profession, especially
back in the nineteen thirties when it first opened, So
it's viable.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Are they talking about the severe looking man possibly being
the one who held his dead yeah? Or causing someone
to fall to their death, because come on now.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, it's one of the many victims that he's taken
with him by fucking with them. Daft theorized that it
could have possibly have been somebody that worked there, since
they are the ones who see him most often, but
who knows. And the third story I have for you
today is near and dear and personal to my heart.
And Sierra has maybe already heard it. We're not really sure.
(24:21):
But the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown, Okay, So I'm
sure you have heard me reference my time at the
old Spaghetti Factory if you have listened. I have worked
at two of the locations, so one that I'm telling
you about today for a year and the one in
my home area that I'm not going to say because
I would triangulate myself where I met Kevin, but I
(24:46):
worked there the longest. But so, the restaurant industry has
a nice place in my heart, except when it was
later in the evenings and when this tourist attraction wasn't
bumping anymore, the restaurant became a little spookier. A few
psychics over the years have come to visit and they
say that there is a vortex towards the back of
(25:08):
the premises, which the idea behind that is very scary,
but basically it allows spirits to visit our world and leave.
It creates an electromagnetic field within our earth, and it
is what opens and closes it over time, allowing spirits
to come through or not. Another psychic thought that it
(25:29):
is because all of the spaghetti factory locations use true antiques,
and some believe that it could possibly be spirits attached
to these objects, or maybe it's a little bit of both.
At Gastown, there is said to be four ghosts on
the premises in Gastown and they have all been seen
on multiple occasions by staff members and patrons over the years.
(25:54):
The first and possibly most famous ghost on the site
is the Conductor. The restaurant first opened in nineteen sixty nine,
and the trolley fifty three was installed to provide a
unique dining spot within the restaurant. It operated as part
of Vancouver's Electric Railroads from nineteen oh four to nineteen
fifty seven, and along with a few other trolley cars,
(26:18):
was put up for auction once they once they became decommissioned,
and that belief is that there is a spirit attached
to the trolley after being involved in a collision, killing
the man. Oh late at night, he is seen sitting
at the same table after the customers have cleared out
and the staff are closing on their closing duties. During service,
(26:42):
people have felt cold spots within the set within the
trolley place settings get moved around, and he has been
spotted in full uniform. One of the most famous photos
actually hangs in the restaurant today where the ghostly figure
is seen standing at the enter of the trolley after
a customer took the photo. So you know my cup
(27:06):
that I have from spaghetti factory that says the Conductor
on it.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I didn't notice that it said that, Okay, the one.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That's like this shaped, not the big mugs that I
use all the time. But they had a cocktail for
a really long time called the Conductor because of this ghost,
and they stopped felling it and therefore stopped making the cups.
So one of the things that Kevin stole from Gastown
was that cup. The second ghost, and possibly the most
(27:38):
mischievous of them all, is known as the Little Red Man.
He is a dwarfish figure with fiery auburn hair, and
is usually always dressed in red. So I pictured just
like a little red leprechaun running around.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, like a fairy of sorts.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah? Yes, because mischievous. Absolutely. He likes to play pranks
on the kitchen stuff, calling them out by name and
whispering in their ears while on shift. Okay, One experience
that Kevin had there was that the taps would turn
on all the time by themselves when he was in
the kitchen, and he likes to equate that to the
(28:14):
Little Red Men. He also likes to sneak up on
women in the washroom, goosing them, scaring them and laughing
as he does so, like women have felt their butts
being pinched, and then like my la, I.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Didn't know that was goosing. I was going to ask,
what is goosing me?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh, you've never heard that turn when somebody like gooses you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
No, sexual assault?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well, on this ghost account, it definitely is because women
did not consent to.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Do We know where the Little Red Man came from.
We do not, so the vortex.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Possibly the vortex. Yeah, there's two theories, the antique furniture
or the vortex.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Right, but like what antique furniture would the little red
man be from? The conductor is from the trolley?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
The trolley?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Could he be from?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
You know what, I'm gonna go vortex on? This isn't it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Maybe there's a little maybe there's a little garden gnome
antique outside. That's oh my.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
God, that would be so funny. Let's play a game
of vortex or furniture. A pair of women saw him
leaving one of the bathroom cubicles, and when they took
a photo, it later developed as a white blur. No
one is quite sure of his tie to the restaurant, though,
you know, like Sira said, yeah. Our third ghost is
(29:43):
a young boy identified as a little boy named Edward
by a number of psychics. He is one of the
most active ghosts in the restaurant and has also caused
a number of service servers to quit on the spot
because it's so scared why. Conserver was closing in one
of the back sections when she saw him sitting at
(30:03):
one of the tables bending the cutlery like being a shit.
When she went to get her manager and returned, the
boy was already gone and the cutlery appeared to be untouched.
Another sighting was by a customer, I wrote sitting instead
of siding. I was like, excuse me. Another sighting was
(30:24):
by a customer. She saw his reflection in a mirror
across from her table, hanging on the wall. He was
behind the host desks, spinning around the column, and when
she turned to look at him, he was gone. He
likes to put the chairs on top of the table
in the middle of the night, and not in the
way that you would think, flipped over in a nice way,
neatly stacked like you do in restaurants. He just like
(30:47):
throws it on top of the table. Okay, many of
the opening staff do not question this anymore, because part
of our clothing is that we are supposed to flip,
you know, the tape the chairs on top of the
table face down so that they can like vacuum and
stuff under it.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah, so not helpful. So when you come in the
next day and it looks like a tornado went through
your restaurant.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Ye to feel like a damn night shift.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Fuck No, seriously, even at my location. I will like
if any of our listeners are brand new. I told
my too ghost stories from the spaghetti factory days where
I currently live in and I think that was our
first listener stories a few years ago. So forgive the audio,
but go listen. On another instance, there was a server
(31:35):
setting up tables in the back section at the end
of the night, after all of the customers had cleared out.
There was just the evenings managers and a couple of
servers finishing up and the dishwashers. She saw the little
boy run past her, which he thought was strange because
the front doors were locked and no customers were left.
(31:56):
She followed him around the corner to another section where
he ran and under the table. He was crouched under
the booth like looking up at her, and he was
and she was quite surprised to see that his eye
sockets were empty. Oh okay, she was so scared that
she sorry, she was so scared that she quit on
(32:17):
the spot. Don't blame her. And this little boy is
seen in like period clothing, like nineteen thirties little like
you know gray you know that gray suit?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, like picture it right, almost like a paper.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yes, chimney sweep. Absolutely, yes, that's what he's like appeared
to look like. And then apparently he can suddenly have
no eyes, which is frightening. Maybe it's because she caught
him like in a corner, so he was just like,
get away a lady, and like made himself really scary.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
And that's what happens when you scare a ghost to death,
they lose their eyeballs.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Like or you just scare a ghost in general.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, like, okay, so the thing that you were telling
that you were picturing of me when my body was
stiff and my soul comes out. Okay, he's only a soul,
So his soul becomes stiff and his eyes pop out,
you know. Scared to Death.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Ghost Edition. I like it. You know what that works
with the high spop out a horrifying visual. The last
ghost is that of a little girl with a balloon.
She has appeared in many customer photos and often manifests
at one of the tables by the front window of
(33:48):
the restaurant. After closing. One night, a friend of the
general manager at the time was waiting for him to
finish and had a lengthy conversation with this little girl.
Told him that she was waiting for her mom, and
when he went, when she went, when he when she
went to go get the general manager to help this
little girl to find her mom. She had vanished and
(34:12):
no one has quite been able to pinpoint where she
comes from or who she is.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Hmmm, you know what I was just thinking about. You know,
we talked about the ecosystem where the moths are eaten
by the bats and then the bats are possibly eaten
by the owls. If we want this to be full circle,
we got to get mothman there to eat the owls.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
You know, I'm other faked. I love how that's where
your brain for the last forty eight minutes. No, how
do I make sure of moth man in front of me?
And it just came into my mind.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Why would you want the owls to get eaten? Those
heer We like owls.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I want them to get eaten for eating bats eating bats?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Also, right by your head, it could have possibly been
a bug, but it looked like a lightning bug that
went this way. Either that or it was a ghost.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Okay, interesting, and.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Speaking of ghosts, you dropped a little nugget on me
at the beginning of this recording, being that there is
possibly something spooky happening in your house. So is there
anything you need to tell me to round out this episode?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, so my whole house is speaking. Hang on, now
I have to google do owls eat bets? Because I
need to know.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I just need to turning questions that everyone needs to know.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yes, owls do eat beats. Oh okay, I said do
owls eat backs? And a I said, yes, owls do
eat batsay.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Brutally honest about it. Okay, Anyway, I didn't. I didn't
want trauma.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Nothing cry.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I know, I know, I know, move on, move on,
tell us something else, tell us about ghosts.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I'm come back to.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
This house is very creepy, and I have not thoroughly
recorded the creepiness of this house. So we bought this
house from a family who lives down in Florida. But
their mom the one of the people's mom. One of
(36:22):
the couple. The mom lived here, so to one of
them is the mom, to one of them is the
mother in law. That makes sense, right, Okay? Anyway, the
mom lived here and passed away in twenty twenty three,
and so they started fixing. I don't know if she
passed away in the house. Nobody knows, but they started
fixing up the house when she passed away because they
(36:44):
were going to renovate it and then rented out to people. Well,
then the man of the relationship had a stroke and
he wasn't able to renovate anymore, and they hadn't gotten
much done anyway, So that's why I decided to sell
it again. I don't know if she died in the house,
(37:05):
but there's a lot of creepy things in the house.
So I went digging through their family history and I
found out that the woman who died, her husband died
in twenty sixteen, and he was a police officer. And
I don't know if he was a sketchy police officer
(37:25):
or a bad person police officer, or just a paranoid
police officer, but definitely paranoia. Okay. Every single window and
door in this house had metal gates on it, which
doesn't sound crazy. You know some people have metal gates.
It's fine, you don't want people coming into your house.
(37:46):
The issue is the metal gates do not lock with
your fingers. You cannot lock or unlock the metal gate.
There's no bolt with your fingers. You have to have
a key. They're inside and outside.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
What the fuck are they still there?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
None of them are locked, but yeah, some of them
are still on the doors. I'm planning to record this. Yes,
like look out, fucking creepy doors and windows people windows
as well. Can you imagine if there was a fire, No,
it is a terrible fire hazard, Okay, terrifying. Okay, So
(38:27):
that's creepy number one. Creepy number two is every door,
including the master bedroom, had locks on the outside the
hallway side. Why were they locking people in the bedrooms?
That's in general and in the house in general. Like
(38:52):
when when I saw the locks on the fire hazard locks,
I was like, Okay, maybe the woman had dementia or something,
maybe they were scared too going to get out, but
also still a terrible fire hazard. If there was a
fire and first responders came, they couldn't get her out,
So like that's still a really bad idea. And then
I saw the locks on the outside, and I'm like,
(39:13):
why are you locking her or them or whoever's here
in their bedrooms. That's really scary.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
So then we found these pipes like they're made of
like rubber maybe or silicone, and they're sticking out all
over the property on the in the ground. Like ventilation
is what it seems like, But like, for what, what's underground?
(39:47):
What do you ventilating? Is there a bunker? Is there
a prison under my house? What's down there? What are
we ventilating? I don't understand. Okay, it's freaking me out,
all right. So then recently I'm cleaning the backyard. In
the backyard, Oh no, where'd you go? In the backyard
(40:10):
there's side that's.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Worth an underground bunker or an attic person.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Yeah, I definitely don't have attic people. Here in the backyard.
There are trash cans and barrels and things from clearly
there used to be a really big pretty garden back there.
Once upon a time there was a really big pretty garden,
but not anymore. But it looks like someone had tried
to fix it up and then stopped somewhere along the
(40:39):
way in one of the freaking trash cans. It has
the lid on it. I was back there cleaning. I'm
making a path so I can put up my hammock
and like make it up pretty. I opened the lid
to one of the trash cans, and inside the first
thing I see is a pair of women's pants.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Hey, but not just it's funny, guys, I'm laughing because
I'm so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Not just like my pants, but like an old woman's
pants or an olden day woman's, Like like seams in
these pants, like nice pants. They're bright red, which is
actually I was gonna clean them, but but when I
lifted them up, what does not take? When I lifted
(41:29):
them up, one of the pants legs is just cut off,
So one side of shorts cut off, the other side
is just regular pants. I'm like, who was out here
in a situation in which they needed to cut one
leg of their pants and throw it away? Like, what
is happening on on?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Because they're red, I can't tell. The walk that we
take down to the water is super nice and awesome
them and beautiful. But the other day me and Jesse
were walking and we found a, uh, the sole insert
of a shoe just out there, Like like, what are
(42:11):
these people doing? I am so confused?
Speaker 1 (42:16):
And I love how you're like exploring your property and you're.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Like, yeah, like what, well you guys did what the property?
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Thirteen acres? We don't own all thirteen akers. We're just
ye're lucky we only own one.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
But where you found the pants, it's not on the.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Pants was in mine.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
This is my yard. That's upsetting all of the poles.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
In my backyard. Okay, Like the ventilation, I am. I
have a friend who has a kidaver dog, and I'm
I'm tempted to be like, hey, I need your dog
to come sniff. But then at the same time, I'm like,
I don't think I want to know. I already owned
this house.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
I don't think I want to know.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Not sure. So anyway, all of that to say creepy.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
House or be like, okay, of a crime.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
I keep seeing things in the corner of my eye
around here, all right. Also, like little things happen here
and there and I'm like, oh, it's the ghost whatever.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
For example, Sampson being violated, well, that could have been Donovan.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
I am in his way.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Why would don Why would don have Ben do that
to your microft? I don't know what reason? What do
you have to do that? But none?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
An example, the kids were playing some sort of game
something or other where Sissy was hiding something in her
room and I told her she had to go put
the four wheeler away or something she had. She had
done something outside and not cleaned up after herself, and
I was like, you need to go do that right
now before you forget. I'm pretty sure it was the
(43:54):
four wheeler and is about to write or something. Anyway,
she was like, okay, but please don't let Bubby go
in my room because we're playing this game and he's
not allowed in there yet, like he'll find the thing
or whatever. And I was like, okay, So me and
Bubby sat in the kitchen the whole time. I was like,
just talking whatever. And she came back and she's like,
I knew, I know you guys went in my room
and I was like, no, we didn't. We've literally been
(44:17):
in the kitchen the whole time. She was like, I
saw you in my room in the window and I
was like, oh, well, we didn't, so I don't know
who you saw.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
We were the only people home and your eyes are
watering now.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
And then another thing, which is actually kind of hilarious
but also like ha ha children. The kids were in
Bubba's room and they were cleaning or helping me paint
or something, and Jesse still had his air compressor in
that room because he was putting, like, you know, nail
(44:56):
gunning stuff. But it was just me and the kids there.
He was at work this day and I told them
to work together and get whatever done. And I hear
them in there like arguing, like what the heck are
they talking about now, and then they scream at the
top of their lungs, Oh my godness, like what just happened.
And so what had happened was Sissy was telling Bubba
(45:22):
to go get her a drink or something, and he's like, no,
I don't want to and she's like, please just go
like I I don't want to go, just go get it,
like out of the car or something. He's like no.
She's like, fine, I'm going to leave you in here
all alone, and Bloody Mary is gonna come. I'm going
to leave you with Bloody Mary. And when she said
it the second time, she touched the air compressor and
(45:44):
it turned on like I don't know if you've ever
heard an air compressor, but it is really loud. And
so both of them like jumped and freaked out and
Sissy was like it was bloody Mary, you guys are
dumb anyway, conal right, maybe a bunker in my yard.
(46:13):
Maybe so me seeing things in the corner of my eye, right,
I keep seeing these things. Well, one day, one day
it wasn't the corner of my eye anymore. It was
the front of my eye, and I saw what it was,
and it was a fucking mouse. There's a big ass
mouse in my house. That fucking mouse, Okay, and ghost
(46:36):
I don't want to kill them out. Well, there might be.
I don't think Sissy saw a mouse and thought it
was a human in her room.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yes, we need to move past that. I mean, we
need to move past the women's pants, the bumper, and
the mimic of you in her bedroom.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Right, Okay, So onto the mouse. I see the mouse.
I like, I have to get rid of this fucking mouse.
I can live with this mouse in my house. It's
driving me insane. I at first I was like, oh, whatever,
it's fat as the fuck it's eating well, uh, probably,
you know, little bugs and stuff around the house, maybe
not so bad. But I just I just can't live
(47:14):
with the mouse in my house. And then one day
there was mouse droppings in the drawer where I keep
the kid's toothbrushes, and I was like, okay, that's it.
Like somehow we're getting this mouth mouse out. I can't.
I cannot. This is disgusting. So I'm telling everybody, like.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
What do I do?
Speaker 2 (47:34):
I don't want to kill it, but also it needs
to go.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Well, like the next day, I see the mouse. I'm
in the kitchen. I see the mouse run from under
my dishwasher to under my stove, except it has an attachment.
I'm like, does that mouse have a fucking baby attached
to it? And uh? I yelled to Jesse, who's in
(47:59):
our bedroom, and I'm like, I think the mouse had babies.
And he's like, uh, I think this is its baby,
And I was like what he's like. I just watched
it try to fit underneath of our door, and this
baby fell off of its back and so the baby
was just sitting in our hallway and I'm like, the
(48:22):
poor baby.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
So she got away with one of them, but not
the other one.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
I don't know. I don't know how many babies she had,
but at least one well fell off. Yeah, And so
I was like, Okay, I can use the baby to
lure the mama out. She's gonna come back for her baby.
So we put the baby into a little mouse trap
for you. Know, a couple hours and she didn't come,
(48:49):
and I was like, not like a like a capture
release anyway, and she didn't come, and I was like, Okay,
I can't let this baby die. So then I started
giving a heating pads and a rice sock heating thing,
and uh, then it was a whole day had gone by,
(49:09):
two days had gone by, the mom still hadn't come,
and I was like, okay, now we've got to buy
this thig fucking milk. I can't let the baby die.
So we started feeding it and still every night putting
it in a little trapped and then you don't.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Have to feed it like constantly too.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah it's like every two hours, but it's only a
drop every two hours. But yeah, So anyway, the mom
never came back. The baby did not make it, and
me and Bubba I had a burial for the baby.
Oh we named it Master Splinter and.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
It's really cute. He didn't make It's not that's not easy. Yeah,
I completely understand.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
I'm so upset that them came back for it. But
I will say I haven't seen the mom since, so
maybe she's so ashamed that she left this house.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Yeah, bad mom. Get the fuck out.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
Yeah, I don't want to bad mom in here go away.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
Oh that's really sad. I'm sorry. I just like Sierra
literally never told me this, guys, and I was so
mad at her. But I just saw it on her
snapchat story and I was like, what the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2 (50:30):
Because I didn't want it to become a thing. I
was just trying to get the mouse out of there.
I didn't plan on keeping it.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
You well, you weren't gonna let it die. I wasn't
gonna let it die, but I mout motherhood.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Going to capture the mom while it came for the baby,
and then take the mom and the baby out to
the field and let it go and live its life. Like.
I didn't plan on keeping the mouse forever until the
mom wasn't coming back, and I bought it milk, and
then I was like, am I gonna end up keeping
this thing forever? I better name it? And then it
(51:03):
passed away under named it. Don't name it?
Speaker 1 (51:06):
Sorry, don't name it. How many days did you have
her for? Three? For him?
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Oh? I know that's really hard, especially.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
With out their mom and stuff. And yeah, maybe she
left him on purpose. Maybe he wasn't maybe he wasn't viable. Yeah,
but I know you did everything you could either way.
So so your's house is haunted.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Yeah, and by human ghosts and mice.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
But that has been my Haunted Vancouver episode. I hope
you guys liked it. I do fully intend to do
a part two of this because there are so many
locations to cover, and I have a whole other location
local to me to cover. I have connected with a
local ghost hunter who's done a few episodes with a
(52:01):
couple of our friends and has a pretty cool YouTube channel,
and he asked if I wanted to go to this
place with him. It is an orphanage, so I will
to be a part of his videos, and then he
could come on our show and we could tell about
the history and our experiences and Sierra can wish she
(52:28):
was here with us. Actually no, depending on what happens,
maybe not. Maybe just be glad that she It's like,
oh yeah, she would have been scared to death all
over again, and we don't need that.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
I have recently heard about a few We have a
new paranormal society in my town. They have been going
and uncovering paranormal locations. So I've been learning a lot
about new ones near me, so maybe I will visit
some and or do episodes on those as well.
Speaker 1 (53:04):
Please do that's exciting, and then take me when I
come and visit, and we'll just dig in your backyard.
And Jesse will be like, what the hell are you
two doing?
Speaker 2 (53:16):

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Than this is the podcast for you. I'm Alicia and
I'm Sierra, and this is Twisted and Uncorked. Hello, and
welcome to another episode of Twisted and Uncorked. You may
have noticed another version of our artwork if you're tuning
(00:30):
in here, or if things look a little strange, that
is our new logo. If you missed last week's episode
and you're not caught up yet, or if you're just
starting out and you're like, what the fuck is this
lady talking about? This is episode two oh one, and
I have a haunted history episode for you today. I'm
(00:51):
very excited to get into. As a consensus among our
listeners it is that they really enjoyed episode four, my
Haunted Little tour of New Orleans. It is wild to
comprehend how long ago that was, but I figured it
was a good way for me to kick off our
next hundred episodes. So today I will be telling you
about some stops local to me in Vancouver, British Columbia.
(01:15):
But before we get into that, Sierra, do you have
a fun fact for me? And hopefully it is not
that Samson was violated.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
It is not that I don't know why Samson's face
was on backwards when I got in here. Okay, it's weird,
but he's good now. Ghost face on backwards cool cool yep.
So anyway, my fun fact is about spiders because this
is a spooky episode. Spider silk is an antiseptic. So
(01:46):
when the world ends and band aids run out, grab
some web, you're.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Good to go. You will not see me grabbing spider webs. Personally,
I just can't do it. I spend once oh at
my work cleaning the floors in the showroom, and I
don't know why it is spider central in there in
the corners of like every little dark crack because it's
(02:12):
like a big open like warehouse he loft type thing.
But I'm like, there's been two baby wolf spider incidents,
and I will say that one ended in murder, and
I still feel bad about it. Not my gosh, I
told you one of the guys stomped on it and
the other one I trapped in a wolf.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Spiders are scari'es here. I don't look at me like that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
There's looking and one of them crawled out from the
rug at the front door, so I trapped it in
a wineglass from the showroom, and I asked my coworker
if she would come and take it outside for me.
As soon as I can hear the feet on the glass,
I'm out. As soon as I can hear their legs. Amount. Yeah,
I guess I feel like that's reasonable. That's a reasonable
(03:00):
reaction to somebody that takes spiders outside. But I guess
in a pinch, that's necessary.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It might be what's your fun fact.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Minus hotel related? Okay, and it is that the skybeam
that shoots out of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas
attracts so many insects that it's established in a new
ecosystem of moths, bats and owls.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Right. I love that, I do, except when they say
a new ecosystem of moths, bats and owls. What I
imagine is there are moths, and so there are bats
to eat the moths, and so there are owls to
eat the bats. And I don't like that part.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I think the owl I'm going to live in the
realm that the owls are eating the bugs and the
moths are eating the bugs.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Well, you don't know that I do because I worked
with owls at the National Park or the same part.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I got so defensive for no reason.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I know that is let's just okay. Maybe they're eating
the moths. That's protein I.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Used to feed them mice. I think they want something
a little bit bigger than a moth. But yeah, sure,
let's live in your world. I like the fun facts.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
In that world that's are safe. So that's the world
that we live in, and I will accept nothing else.
And I will accept today's beverage because it is quite tasty.
I literally had in my notes that it's starting to
get warm and summery and nice out, and as we're
recording this, it is pouring rain and gloomy, and I'm
(04:42):
wearing flannel, so not the vibe I was originally thinking
when I pulled this drink up.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But with one hundred and one slash thirty eight here yesterday,
so you got to mix.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Up for it. Fear is refreshed. But it is the
drink berries and bubbles from the hotel bar in one
of the hotels that I will be talking about in
a second here, And it is a vodka muddled raspberries, lemon,
juice and your spritzer of choice. They put soda water
(05:15):
in it, but you could do sprite, ginger ale, whatever
you want. I did ginger ale because I just wanted
ginger ale, because I didn't want to taste the vodka
because I'm using cheap vodka. So that's what I've got,
and I've got my bone straw and it's really refreshing,
and I have a lot of ice and I'm happy.
(05:37):
How did you make yours? Because I figured there's really
only two ingredients for you to work with. Three alls I.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Was told was raspberries and lemon juice and spitzer every choice.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, that there's poor instructions on my part.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's all I was told. And so what I did
is I muddled a bunch of raspberries in some lef
and juice and then strained it so I didn't have
raspberries floating around in there. Smart and then I topped
it with lemon cello lacroix. Oh, it's not bad. I
(06:15):
have a salted rim just because I thought it was pretty.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It is pretty. Did you take a picture of your beverage?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I got a photo.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Sierra's are a bartender and podcast photographer, because my drinks
always look like a crime scene in yours.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Listen, when you're making mocktails, they have to be pretty.
They have to be pretty or else that's.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Ow juice. So that's brilliant. Though. With the Lacroix, they
have a fun beverages and are fridge at work and
there's a Mohito Lacroix in there, and I'm cures to try.
Is it good?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I didn't try. I didn't buy it. I almost bought
it today, but I was like, I just know it'll
be good enough.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Okay, I'll try it tomorrow at work and I'll report back.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Okay, I saw them today though, I was super excited
about it.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
There was another one too. It was called beach Plum
or something like that. Instead of beach bum it looked
like a sex on the beach type.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Oh yeah, okay, brilliant. I love it. And I do
love this beverage as well. I don't really like the
vodka in it. I'm not gonna lie. I forgot that.
Me and Kevin ran out of vodka because we use
it for Caesars, and uh so all I had was
these little mini bottles. So me and Kevin both used
(07:47):
to be bartenders. So we have a bowl in our
liquor cabinet filled with minis. So I just grabbed whatever
free fucking sample was floating around eight years ago. Oh gosh,
But in might drinks.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Like wine, where it gets better with time.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I don't think it gets worse. I just think it
was never good to begin with, and that it's lived
through like forty degree summers.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
And cold sometimes and the grease of my kitchen.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh yeah, no, it just keeps getting better.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And alcohol does evaporate eventually too. So half of because
Kevin is really not a drinker at all, but half
of those little bottles are like half empty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Grabbed three of them, just you know, to make two shots.
But it worked out and it's tasty. But that said,
today's episode does have the same drink that we are
drinking featured, probably looking much prettier like Cira's. There was
probably straining involved. I will have to try it in
(08:57):
person one day when I'm in Vancouver next and back.
But we are going to hear all about this haunted
little tour after this quick break, So welcome back, as
I hinted in the intro, and with my fun fact.
Our first stop on this Haunted Vancouver tour is Hotel
Vancouver on West Georgia.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh that's a hotel.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Original name, Yeah, Hotel Vancouver, and there's three of them.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
O great.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It opened first in nineteen thirty nine and it was
the third of the chain opened in Vancouver. It is
a chateau style hotel with a steep pitched copper roof,
ornate dorms, and gargoyles. Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yes, that makes up for everything.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Absolutely. It was most recently restored in the nineteen nineties,
and I will say that it is beautiful. Even the
restaurant and bar with the drink I featured, is more
than enough to make this peasant feel fancy. I did
not try this drink when I was but I have
had a cocktail there before with a friend of mine.
This hotel is beautiful, yes, but the reason it is
(10:07):
on today's tour is because there is an infamous resident
ghost there. She is elegantly dressed and known as the
Lady in Red. We've done so many ladies in whites lately,
I had to throw in a lady in red.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
She is most you know, you look good in red.
She is most often spotted in the lobby or on
the fourteenth floor, usually hanging near elevator doors. Hanging out,
hanging out near the elevator doors.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You said hanging, and I'm like, is she hanging? How
did she die? Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I see? Yeah, No, hanging out near the elevator doors.
Very important visual.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
On one occasion, when a family was checking into the
room on the fourteenth floor, they opened the door to
see the lady in red star in their room. They
went down and asked the front ask if perhaps it
had been double booked, but it wasn't. In another incident,
a bellman was carrying bags to room fourteen oh three
(11:12):
when he saw the lady in red follow his guests
through their room door. When he entered behind them to
drop their bags, the lady had vanished. I don't like that.
And this is not the first vanishing act ghost.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
In our story.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Great The Lady is believed to be the ghost of
a woman named Jenny Pearl Cox. She was a Vancouver
socialite who regularly attended attended the hotel's ballroom dances in
the early nineteen forties. After leaving the hotel one day,
she was involved in a car accident and sadly did
(11:49):
not survive, given that this was the last place that
she was that is Bible, but no one knows for sure,
as she disappears too quickly before anyone can get too close.
The hotel even paid homage to their famous ghost by
hosting a pop up murder mystery speakeasy on the fourteenth
(12:10):
floor called The Scarlet, which I desperately wish I knew
about when it was a thing. God damn it.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, that sounds fun, right.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
In an old, spooky, beautiful hotel having a murder mystery party. Yes, please,
Actually it sounds like one of the episodes of Only
Murders in the Building, and it could be dangerous, so
maybe i'd take that back. In addition to our Lady
in Red, there has been disembodied footsteps, strange sounds on
security cameras and the street in the stairwells, which I
(12:44):
don't like because those security cameras only turn on when
they're picking up something. The elevator stops at floors where
seemingly no one has pressed the button or is waiting,
doors will open and close on their own, and some
guests have even reported soft whispers when no one is around,
which is my least favorite of all of that.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Listen, I have to say I worked in a hotel before.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
It was not always forget about that it was.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Not haunted, but if it were, I would add to
the hauntings on purpose. I would have. I would have.
If I worked at a haunted hotel, I would for
sure go. I would because as a hotel worker, we
would have to walk the floors to make sure, you know,
there's no one in the hallways, no one.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Speaking that you were going to fuck with people.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I would, one hundred percent if I worked at that hotel,
walk up the stairs to the fifth floor and push
the button, and then walk down to probably the third
and push the button, and then I would do that.
I would do that all day long. Like, sometimes it
would be me, Sometimes it would be the pearl lady. Uh, sorry,
(13:54):
caught my mind because of my pearl lady. I don't
remember her first name. What's her first name?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Oh yeah, I don't remember her first name either.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Your lady's first name, Oh Jenny, Jenny, Okay, I just
caught onto pearl. Anyway, Sometimes it would be me, sometimes
it would be Jenny. No one would ever know.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, if you guys get luckily, Sierra has not come
to Vancoure yet. When she is at that hotel, I
will let everyone know.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So me and Jenny will buttons together.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm just like at the hotel bar having a cocktail
and did running up the stairs. You know what, She's
not from here, guys, It's okay. The second stop on
our list is the Vague Theater. I have been to
many concerts and shows that this infamous and gorgeous little
(14:47):
theater just walking in though, I could tell you that
this place is haunted. The Vague Theater opened in nineteen
forty one, and at the time it was mainly a
movie theater, but sometimes hosted live performances, just like it
does today. In nineteen eighty eight, the theater was briefly
closed due to declining business, but reopened again just a
(15:09):
few years later after a little renovation to restore it.
This included the installation of state of the art lighting
and sound equipment, which are still in the theater today.
But let's talk about the ghosts first, and probably the
only well known ghost at this location is the spirit
(15:29):
of a dark haired and quote unquote severe looking man.
I'm not sure what this means.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But I don't like good severely bad looking.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We'll have to visit and find out. He's encountered in
the working areas of the premises, most often on the stage,
on the catwalks, in the projection booth, and in the
basement hallway. He has also been spotted in the audience
sitting close to the stage, but when our dis playing
have looked back, the man seems to disappear. Also like
(16:04):
super alarming to just like look out into the audience
mid performance and see somebody described as severe looking.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I just want to know what's severe looking means?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I do do.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Go away, fruit fly. Many members have interactions with him,
especially on the narrow corridor that leads downstairs. They jokingly
refer to this area as the Haunted Hallway because of
its creepiness, and from time to time they'll also hear
banging noises and slamming of doors. Now, the corridor that
(16:38):
they're talking about is very similarly mimicked to how you
walk up the various floors to get to the higher seats.
It is super narrow and it's so dark in there.
If I were to hear that, shit, no, no, I'm sorry,
I quit that day.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Actually, yeah, Bill Alma Ghost Jump scared fall to my death.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I just had like a mental image of you as
a cartoon and like you're like scared, but like your
spirit leaves your body and it's just like a little
ghost in your corpse, just like like one of those
little like push butts skids to death. You stick your
finger in and it like stiffens and then you like
let it go, and it's like, I don't know, that's
(17:22):
what I pictured. Scared to death. Actually, you know what,
if your goal is to just fuck with people too
as a ghost, guys, watch out. Hopefully Sierra doesn't die
in a highly trap. They'll know, they'll know what it's you.
Somebody out there listening is way younger than us. I
(17:43):
know it. I've seen our statistics. Bill Allman, the general
manager of the Vogue Theater, managed there between nineteen ninety
four and nineteen ninety seven. He had many personal experiences
with the ghosts. With the theater's ghost, the first encounter
was in the summer of nineteen ninety four. Quote. I
(18:03):
was locking up the carpentry room in the basement and
got that distinct feeling that somebody was standing behind me.
When I turned around, I saw what I describe as
a three dimensional shadow go by the door. So I
scrambled out into the hallway and no one was there.
I was the only one around. I left the theater
relatively quickly after that. I believe I set a speed
(18:26):
record that day getting out of work. End quote.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
A three dimensional shadow. That is a good way to
describe seeing right right just ough.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, no, I like picture like shadow figure?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah like you know, yeah, but shadows are not supposed
to be three dimensional.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Fair, so shadow figures are usually just like creepy missed
down the hallway. I was so sorry to anyone that
watches our show on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't want it to anyone who's because there's been.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
A lot of Alicia miming today.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah it's good, it's good comment.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It's A month and a half later, a drum set
was set up on the stage for a Beatles tribute
band called Revolver. As Bill walked up the stairs onto
the stage from the lower level, he distinctly heard a
basic beat of the being played on the drums. When
he got up to the stage and turned the corner,
(19:29):
it stopped and no one was there. About a year
and a half later, in nineteen ninety five, the Vogue
Theater played a host called Unforgettable. This performance paid a
tribute to the music of Nat King Cole. A week
before the show was set to run, Bill was giving
a tour of the theater to his friend and his girlfriend,
(19:52):
and this included the projection booth. A week or so later,
Bill's girlfriend mentioned seeing a Youngish man with dark hair
and severe features in the projection booth, sitting at one
of sitting in one of the old chairs. The man
had turned his head toward them, gave off an angry energy,
(20:13):
and then disappeared before her eyes, which is like, also
okay again with the severe looking and also yeah, now
he's pissed off, So now I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And severe looking maybe like severe like like he had
this like serious like oh yeah, I picture.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Like a very gaunt, scary man. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Severe looking.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
She's just like a terrible descriptor like I've never heard
that used before, like to describe you. I'd be like
petite olive, these skin, long brown hair, nose ring that's
severe looking, Like what the fuck does that? Watch a
story come up about this man.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Severe looking typically describes a person's appearance as serious, stern,
or forbidding, often lacking warmth or friendliness.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, so scary cranky man, all.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Right, yes, right, yes serious.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I don't like that at all, though, so do to do.
One performer also saw the Vogue spirit and described him
as a young man, dirtysh with dark hair, severe features,
wearing light colored clothing. We have a new feature. The
next day, a theater employee named David Ron saw the
(21:41):
ghost as well. While he was locking up the theater
for the night, he walked up to the stage and
happened to look up towards the projection booth. He saw
somebody standing in the doorway, which is haunting. No thank you.
And on another occasion, when David was on the catwalk
above the audience, he felt somebody brush past his right shoulder,
(22:03):
like somebody bumped into him as he was passing. And
because this is a suspended catwalk, again, rude ghost.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Again, I would become a ghost fall to my dead.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, exactly, poor David. Since then, the ghost has been
seen or experienced many other times. In the summer of
nineteen ninety six, for example, a box office worker was
alone in the lobby when she suddenly sensed a presence.
She looked around and she saw a shadow figure climbing
the stairs to the balcony level. In two thousand, Arnold Robinson,
(22:39):
a bass singer of a local group called the Nylons,
also had a personal experience. As he walked down to
his dressing room, he felt like somebody was walking alongside him.
He could feel a strong presence there, and when he
got to his dressing room, he even said out loud,
if you want to hang out, that's cool, which I love. Yeah,
(23:00):
it's such like a cool music scene. Yeah, if you
want to hang out, that's fine. Just don't scare me
to my death. Thank you. Two psychic mediums visited the
Vogue in early two thousand and on two separate occasions.
Both said that somebody had experienced a bad fall near
the fly gallery, which is like those ropes and weights
(23:21):
that hold stuff stages, and they were able to say
they weren't able to say whether the accident victim was
severely injured or had died. However, Bill says that this
information has not been verified through historical records about anyone
dying in the theater from falling. But the theater is old,
(23:42):
and you know, it can be a dangerous profession, especially
back in the nineteen thirties when it first opened, So
it's viable.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Are they talking about the severe looking man possibly being
the one who held his dead yeah? Or causing someone
to fall to their death, because come on now.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, it's one of the many victims that he's taken
with him by fucking with them. Daft theorized that it
could have possibly have been somebody that worked there, since
they are the ones who see him most often, but
who knows. And the third story I have for you
today is near and dear and personal to my heart.
And Sierra has maybe already heard it. We're not really sure.
(24:21):
But the Old Spaghetti Factory in Gastown, Okay, So I'm
sure you have heard me reference my time at the
old Spaghetti Factory if you have listened. I have worked
at two of the locations, so one that I'm telling
you about today for a year and the one in
my home area that I'm not going to say because
I would triangulate myself where I met Kevin, but I
(24:46):
worked there the longest. But so, the restaurant industry has
a nice place in my heart, except when it was
later in the evenings and when this tourist attraction wasn't
bumping anymore, the restaurant became a little spookier. A few
psychics over the years have come to visit and they
say that there is a vortex towards the back of
(25:08):
the premises, which the idea behind that is very scary,
but basically it allows spirits to visit our world and leave.
It creates an electromagnetic field within our earth, and it
is what opens and closes it over time, allowing spirits
to come through or not. Another psychic thought that it
(25:29):
is because all of the spaghetti factory locations use true antiques,
and some believe that it could possibly be spirits attached
to these objects, or maybe it's a little bit of both.
At Gastown, there is said to be four ghosts on
the premises in Gastown and they have all been seen
on multiple occasions by staff members and patrons over the years.
(25:54):
The first and possibly most famous ghost on the site
is the Conductor. The restaurant first opened in nineteen sixty nine,
and the trolley fifty three was installed to provide a
unique dining spot within the restaurant. It operated as part
of Vancouver's Electric Railroads from nineteen oh four to nineteen
fifty seven, and along with a few other trolley cars,
(26:18):
was put up for auction once they once they became decommissioned,
and that belief is that there is a spirit attached
to the trolley after being involved in a collision, killing
the man. Oh late at night, he is seen sitting
at the same table after the customers have cleared out
and the staff are closing on their closing duties. During service,
(26:42):
people have felt cold spots within the set within the
trolley place settings get moved around, and he has been
spotted in full uniform. One of the most famous photos
actually hangs in the restaurant today where the ghostly figure
is seen standing at the enter of the trolley after
a customer took the photo. So you know my cup
(27:06):
that I have from spaghetti factory that says the Conductor
on it.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I didn't notice that it said that, Okay, the one.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That's like this shaped, not the big mugs that I
use all the time. But they had a cocktail for
a really long time called the Conductor because of this ghost,
and they stopped felling it and therefore stopped making the cups.
So one of the things that Kevin stole from Gastown
was that cup. The second ghost, and possibly the most
(27:38):
mischievous of them all, is known as the Little Red Man.
He is a dwarfish figure with fiery auburn hair, and
is usually always dressed in red. So I pictured just
like a little red leprechaun running around.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, like a fairy of sorts.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah? Yes, because mischievous. Absolutely. He likes to play pranks
on the kitchen stuff, calling them out by name and
whispering in their ears while on shift. Okay, One experience
that Kevin had there was that the taps would turn
on all the time by themselves when he was in
the kitchen, and he likes to equate that to the
(28:14):
Little Red Men. He also likes to sneak up on
women in the washroom, goosing them, scaring them and laughing
as he does so, like women have felt their butts
being pinched, and then like my la, I.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Didn't know that was goosing. I was going to ask,
what is goosing me?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh, you've never heard that turn when somebody like gooses you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
No, sexual assault?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Well, on this ghost account, it definitely is because women
did not consent to.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Do We know where the Little Red Man came from.
We do not, so the vortex.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Possibly the vortex. Yeah, there's two theories, the antique furniture
or the vortex.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Right, but like what antique furniture would the little red
man be from? The conductor is from the trolley?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
The trolley?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Could he be from?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
You know what, I'm gonna go vortex on? This isn't it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Maybe there's a little maybe there's a little garden gnome
antique outside. That's oh my.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
God, that would be so funny. Let's play a game
of vortex or furniture. A pair of women saw him
leaving one of the bathroom cubicles, and when they took
a photo, it later developed as a white blur. No
one is quite sure of his tie to the restaurant, though,
you know, like Sira said, yeah. Our third ghost is
(29:43):
a young boy identified as a little boy named Edward
by a number of psychics. He is one of the
most active ghosts in the restaurant and has also caused
a number of service servers to quit on the spot
because it's so scared why. Conserver was closing in one
of the back sections when she saw him sitting at
(30:03):
one of the tables bending the cutlery like being a shit.
When she went to get her manager and returned, the
boy was already gone and the cutlery appeared to be untouched.
Another sighting was by a customer, I wrote sitting instead
of siding. I was like, excuse me. Another sighting was
(30:24):
by a customer. She saw his reflection in a mirror
across from her table, hanging on the wall. He was
behind the host desks, spinning around the column, and when
she turned to look at him, he was gone. He
likes to put the chairs on top of the table
in the middle of the night, and not in the
way that you would think, flipped over in a nice way,
neatly stacked like you do in restaurants. He just like
(30:47):
throws it on top of the table. Okay, many of
the opening staff do not question this anymore, because part
of our clothing is that we are supposed to flip,
you know, the tape the chairs on top of the
table face down so that they can like vacuum and
stuff under it.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah, so not helpful. So when you come in the
next day and it looks like a tornado went through
your restaurant.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Ye to feel like a damn night shift.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Fuck No, seriously, even at my location. I will like
if any of our listeners are brand new. I told
my too ghost stories from the spaghetti factory days where
I currently live in and I think that was our
first listener stories a few years ago. So forgive the audio,
but go listen. On another instance, there was a server
(31:35):
setting up tables in the back section at the end
of the night, after all of the customers had cleared out.
There was just the evenings managers and a couple of
servers finishing up and the dishwashers. She saw the little
boy run past her, which he thought was strange because
the front doors were locked and no customers were left.
(31:56):
She followed him around the corner to another section where
he ran and under the table. He was crouched under
the booth like looking up at her, and he was
and she was quite surprised to see that his eye
sockets were empty. Oh okay, she was so scared that
she sorry, she was so scared that she quit on
(32:17):
the spot. Don't blame her. And this little boy is
seen in like period clothing, like nineteen thirties little like
you know gray you know that gray suit?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, like picture it right, almost like a paper.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yes, chimney sweep. Absolutely, yes, that's what he's like appeared
to look like. And then apparently he can suddenly have
no eyes, which is frightening. Maybe it's because she caught
him like in a corner, so he was just like,
get away a lady, and like made himself really scary.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
And that's what happens when you scare a ghost to death,
they lose their eyeballs.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Like or you just scare a ghost in general.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, like, okay, so the thing that you were telling
that you were picturing of me when my body was
stiff and my soul comes out. Okay, he's only a soul,
So his soul becomes stiff and his eyes pop out,
you know. Scared to Death.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Ghost Edition. I like it. You know what that works
with the high spop out a horrifying visual. The last
ghost is that of a little girl with a balloon.
She has appeared in many customer photos and often manifests
at one of the tables by the front window of
(33:48):
the restaurant. After closing. One night, a friend of the
general manager at the time was waiting for him to
finish and had a lengthy conversation with this little girl.
Told him that she was waiting for her mom, and
when he went, when she went, when he when she
went to go get the general manager to help this
little girl to find her mom. She had vanished and
(34:12):
no one has quite been able to pinpoint where she
comes from or who she is.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Hmmm, you know what I was just thinking about. You know,
we talked about the ecosystem where the moths are eaten
by the bats and then the bats are possibly eaten
by the owls. If we want this to be full circle,
we got to get mothman there to eat the owls.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
You know, I'm other faked. I love how that's where
your brain for the last forty eight minutes. No, how
do I make sure of moth man in front of me?
And it just came into my mind.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Why would you want the owls to get eaten? Those
heer We like owls.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I want them to get eaten for eating bats eating bats?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Also, right by your head, it could have possibly been
a bug, but it looked like a lightning bug that
went this way. Either that or it was a ghost.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Okay, interesting, and.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Speaking of ghosts, you dropped a little nugget on me
at the beginning of this recording, being that there is
possibly something spooky happening in your house. So is there
anything you need to tell me to round out this episode?
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, so my whole house is speaking. Hang on, now
I have to google do owls eat bets? Because I
need to know.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I just need to turning questions that everyone needs to know.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yes, owls do eat beats. Oh okay, I said do
owls eat backs? And a I said, yes, owls do
eat batsay.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Brutally honest about it. Okay, Anyway, I didn't. I didn't
want trauma.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Nothing cry.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I know, I know, I know, move on, move on,
tell us something else, tell us about ghosts.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I'm come back to.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
This house is very creepy, and I have not thoroughly
recorded the creepiness of this house. So we bought this
house from a family who lives down in Florida. But
their mom the one of the people's mom. One of
(36:22):
the couple. The mom lived here, so to one of
them is the mom, to one of them is the
mother in law. That makes sense, right, Okay? Anyway, the
mom lived here and passed away in twenty twenty three,
and so they started fixing. I don't know if she
passed away in the house. Nobody knows, but they started
fixing up the house when she passed away because they
(36:44):
were going to renovate it and then rented out to people. Well,
then the man of the relationship had a stroke and
he wasn't able to renovate anymore, and they hadn't gotten
much done anyway, So that's why I decided to sell
it again. I don't know if she died in the house,
(37:05):
but there's a lot of creepy things in the house.
So I went digging through their family history and I
found out that the woman who died, her husband died
in twenty sixteen, and he was a police officer. And
I don't know if he was a sketchy police officer
(37:25):
or a bad person police officer, or just a paranoid
police officer, but definitely paranoia. Okay. Every single window and
door in this house had metal gates on it, which
doesn't sound crazy. You know some people have metal gates.
It's fine, you don't want people coming into your house.
(37:46):
The issue is the metal gates do not lock with
your fingers. You cannot lock or unlock the metal gate.
There's no bolt with your fingers. You have to have
a key. They're inside and outside.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
What the fuck are they still there?
Speaker 2 (38:06):
None of them are locked, but yeah, some of them
are still on the doors. I'm planning to record this. Yes,
like look out, fucking creepy doors and windows people windows
as well. Can you imagine if there was a fire, No,
it is a terrible fire hazard, Okay, terrifying. Okay, So
(38:27):
that's creepy number one. Creepy number two is every door,
including the master bedroom, had locks on the outside the
hallway side. Why were they locking people in the bedrooms?
That's in general and in the house in general. Like
(38:52):
when when I saw the locks on the fire hazard locks,
I was like, Okay, maybe the woman had dementia or something,
maybe they were scared too going to get out, but
also still a terrible fire hazard. If there was a
fire and first responders came, they couldn't get her out,
So like that's still a really bad idea. And then
I saw the locks on the outside, and I'm like,
(39:13):
why are you locking her or them or whoever's here
in their bedrooms. That's really scary.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
So then we found these pipes like they're made of
like rubber maybe or silicone, and they're sticking out all
over the property on the in the ground. Like ventilation
is what it seems like, But like, for what, what's underground?
(39:47):
What do you ventilating? Is there a bunker? Is there
a prison under my house? What's down there? What are
we ventilating? I don't understand. Okay, it's freaking me out,
all right. So then recently I'm cleaning the backyard. In
the backyard, Oh no, where'd you go? In the backyard
(40:10):
there's side that's.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Worth an underground bunker or an attic person.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Yeah, I definitely don't have attic people. Here in the backyard.
There are trash cans and barrels and things from clearly
there used to be a really big pretty garden back there.
Once upon a time there was a really big pretty garden,
but not anymore. But it looks like someone had tried
to fix it up and then stopped somewhere along the
(40:39):
way in one of the freaking trash cans. It has
the lid on it. I was back there cleaning. I'm
making a path so I can put up my hammock
and like make it up pretty. I opened the lid
to one of the trash cans, and inside the first
thing I see is a pair of women's pants.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Hey, but not just it's funny, guys, I'm laughing because
I'm so uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Not just like my pants, but like an old woman's
pants or an olden day woman's, Like like seams in
these pants, like nice pants. They're bright red, which is
actually I was gonna clean them, but but when I
lifted them up, what does not take? When I lifted
(41:29):
them up, one of the pants legs is just cut off,
So one side of shorts cut off, the other side
is just regular pants. I'm like, who was out here
in a situation in which they needed to cut one
leg of their pants and throw it away? Like, what
is happening on on?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Because they're red, I can't tell. The walk that we
take down to the water is super nice and awesome
them and beautiful. But the other day me and Jesse
were walking and we found a, uh, the sole insert
of a shoe just out there, Like like, what are
(42:11):
these people doing? I am so confused?
Speaker 1 (42:16):
And I love how you're like exploring your property and you're.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Like, yeah, like what, well you guys did what the property?
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Thirteen acres? We don't own all thirteen akers. We're just
ye're lucky we only own one.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
But where you found the pants, it's not on the.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Pants was in mine.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
This is my yard. That's upsetting all of the poles.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
In my backyard. Okay, Like the ventilation, I am. I
have a friend who has a kidaver dog, and I'm
I'm tempted to be like, hey, I need your dog
to come sniff. But then at the same time, I'm like,
I don't think I want to know. I already owned
this house.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
I don't think I want to know.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
Not sure. So anyway, all of that to say creepy.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
House or be like, okay, of a crime.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
I keep seeing things in the corner of my eye
around here, all right. Also, like little things happen here
and there and I'm like, oh, it's the ghost whatever.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
For example, Sampson being violated, well, that could have been Donovan.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
I am in his way.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Why would don Why would don have Ben do that
to your microft? I don't know what reason? What do
you have to do that? But none?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
An example, the kids were playing some sort of game
something or other where Sissy was hiding something in her
room and I told her she had to go put
the four wheeler away or something she had. She had
done something outside and not cleaned up after herself, and
I was like, you need to go do that right
now before you forget. I'm pretty sure it was the
(43:54):
four wheeler and is about to write or something. Anyway,
she was like, okay, but please don't let Bubby go
in my room because we're playing this game and he's
not allowed in there yet, like he'll find the thing
or whatever. And I was like, okay, So me and
Bubby sat in the kitchen the whole time. I was like,
just talking whatever. And she came back and she's like,
I knew, I know you guys went in my room
and I was like, no, we didn't. We've literally been
(44:17):
in the kitchen the whole time. She was like, I
saw you in my room in the window and I
was like, oh, well, we didn't, so I don't know
who you saw.
Speaker 3 (44:30):
We were the only people home and your eyes are
watering now.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
And then another thing, which is actually kind of hilarious
but also like ha ha children. The kids were in
Bubba's room and they were cleaning or helping me paint
or something, and Jesse still had his air compressor in
that room because he was putting, like, you know, nail
(44:56):
gunning stuff. But it was just me and the kids there.
He was at work this day and I told them
to work together and get whatever done. And I hear
them in there like arguing, like what the heck are
they talking about now, and then they scream at the
top of their lungs, Oh my godness, like what just happened.
And so what had happened was Sissy was telling Bubba
(45:22):
to go get her a drink or something, and he's like, no,
I don't want to and she's like, please just go
like I I don't want to go, just go get it,
like out of the car or something. He's like no.
She's like, fine, I'm going to leave you in here
all alone, and Bloody Mary is gonna come. I'm going
to leave you with Bloody Mary. And when she said
it the second time, she touched the air compressor and
(45:44):
it turned on like I don't know if you've ever
heard an air compressor, but it is really loud. And
so both of them like jumped and freaked out and
Sissy was like it was bloody Mary, you guys are
dumb anyway, conal right, maybe a bunker in my yard.
(46:13):
Maybe so me seeing things in the corner of my eye, right,
I keep seeing these things. Well, one day, one day
it wasn't the corner of my eye anymore. It was
the front of my eye, and I saw what it was,
and it was a fucking mouse. There's a big ass
mouse in my house. That fucking mouse, Okay, and ghost
(46:36):
I don't want to kill them out. Well, there might be.
I don't think Sissy saw a mouse and thought it
was a human in her room.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yes, we need to move past that. I mean, we
need to move past the women's pants, the bumper, and
the mimic of you in her bedroom.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Right, Okay, So onto the mouse. I see the mouse.
I like, I have to get rid of this fucking mouse.
I can live with this mouse in my house. It's
driving me insane. I at first I was like, oh, whatever,
it's fat as the fuck it's eating well, uh, probably,
you know, little bugs and stuff around the house, maybe
not so bad. But I just I just can't live
(47:14):
with the mouse in my house. And then one day
there was mouse droppings in the drawer where I keep
the kid's toothbrushes, and I was like, okay, that's it.
Like somehow we're getting this mouth mouse out. I can't.
I cannot. This is disgusting. So I'm telling everybody, like.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
What do I do?
Speaker 2 (47:34):
I don't want to kill it, but also it needs
to go.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Well, like the next day, I see the mouse. I'm
in the kitchen. I see the mouse run from under
my dishwasher to under my stove, except it has an attachment.
I'm like, does that mouse have a fucking baby attached
to it? And uh? I yelled to Jesse, who's in
(47:59):
our bedroom, and I'm like, I think the mouse had babies.
And he's like, uh, I think this is its baby,
And I was like what he's like. I just watched
it try to fit underneath of our door, and this
baby fell off of its back and so the baby
was just sitting in our hallway and I'm like, the
(48:22):
poor baby.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
So she got away with one of them, but not
the other one.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
I don't know. I don't know how many babies she had,
but at least one well fell off. Yeah, And so
I was like, Okay, I can use the baby to
lure the mama out. She's gonna come back for her baby.
So we put the baby into a little mouse trap
for you. Know, a couple hours and she didn't come,
(48:49):
and I was like, not like a like a capture
release anyway, and she didn't come, and I was like, Okay,
I can't let this baby die. So then I started
giving a heating pads and a rice sock heating thing,
and uh, then it was a whole day had gone by,
(49:09):
two days had gone by, the mom still hadn't come,
and I was like, okay, now we've got to buy
this thig fucking milk. I can't let the baby die.
So we started feeding it and still every night putting
it in a little trapped and then you don't.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Have to feed it like constantly too.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah it's like every two hours, but it's only a
drop every two hours. But yeah, So anyway, the mom
never came back. The baby did not make it, and
me and Bubba I had a burial for the baby.
Oh we named it Master Splinter and.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
It's really cute. He didn't make It's not that's not easy. Yeah,
I completely understand.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
I'm so upset that them came back for it. But
I will say I haven't seen the mom since, so
maybe she's so ashamed that she left this house.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Yeah, bad mom. Get the fuck out.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
Yeah, I don't want to bad mom in here go away.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
Oh that's really sad. I'm sorry. I just like Sierra
literally never told me this, guys, and I was so
mad at her. But I just saw it on her
snapchat story and I was like, what the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2 (50:30):
Because I didn't want it to become a thing. I
was just trying to get the mouse out of there.
I didn't plan on keeping it.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
You well, you weren't gonna let it die. I wasn't
gonna let it die, but I mout motherhood.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Going to capture the mom while it came for the baby,
and then take the mom and the baby out to
the field and let it go and live its life. Like.
I didn't plan on keeping the mouse forever until the
mom wasn't coming back, and I bought it milk, and
then I was like, am I gonna end up keeping
this thing forever? I better name it? And then it
(51:03):
passed away under named it. Don't name it?
Speaker 1 (51:06):
Sorry, don't name it. How many days did you have
her for? Three? For him?
Speaker 3 (51:14):
Oh? I know that's really hard, especially.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
With out their mom and stuff. And yeah, maybe she
left him on purpose. Maybe he wasn't maybe he wasn't viable. Yeah,
but I know you did everything you could either way.
So so your's house is haunted.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
Yeah, and by human ghosts and mice.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
But that has been my Haunted Vancouver episode. I hope

locations to cover, and I have a whole other location
local to me to cover. I have connected with a
local ghost hunter who's done a few episodes with a
(52:01):
couple of our friends and has a pretty cool YouTube channel,
and he asked if I wanted to go to this
place with him. It is an orphanage, so I will
to be a part of his videos, and then he
could come on our show and we could tell about
the history and our experiences and Sierra can wish she
(52:28):
was here with us. Actually no, depending on what happens,
maybe not. Maybe just be glad that she It's like,
oh yeah, she would have been scared to death all
over again, and we don't need that.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
I have recently heard about a few We have a
new paranormal society in my town. They have been going
and uncovering paranormal locations. So I've been learning a lot
about new ones near me, so maybe I will visit
some and or do episodes on those as well.
