Casual Chat: Drinkware and Water Preferences
00:00:42
Speaker
I'm going to be super extra and buy. So I have a little Stanley, like it's from the Starbucks here. I'm going to buy a big boy with the handle for work. I'm going to do it. I just, I love my, um, I have a big fat, like hydro flask that I use a lot. And then this one,
00:01:01
Speaker
But I'm like, you know, when I'm in meetings, this is like something just so stupid. But like, you know, if I'm in a big meeting or something, and I have my hydroflask, like, sometimes you can hear like the unscrewing and the screwing. And I'm just like, but if I just brought my Stanley, if I got one of the big ones, like 30 or 40 ounce with the little cup holder thing, or mug, I don't know, arm, whatever that's called. Handle. Handle. I'm just like, you know, the thing. You know, the thing.
00:01:33
Speaker
If I just get that, I can just suck on it all day. The straw with the water. Straws make me drink more water.
00:01:43
Speaker
same so i always have little tumblers but i also work from home so i'm not having to like because when i worked like physically in a building i had to have a giant water thing because i don't like just any water i'm very pretty water water has a flavor yes it does it's either clean or gross yep i am also the same
00:02:06
Speaker
with water. So when I go places, I have to have like a big container of water because I don't want fountain water. I don't want to sink water. I'm not going to drink that. I know that's bougie. And I know there's people like without water, but I can't drink it. Yeah, I can't all that also like and if my cup smells funny. No, like I just I can't literally can't because yeah, I can't. I can't do it. No, no.
00:02:34
Speaker
smelly cups make your water taste like the smell. And it's disgusting. Yeah, sweet. So I always have to have big ones. But now that I work from home, I can just have like regular sized tumblers and go fill them from my little water pitcher in my fridge because it makes delicious water. Clean, super filtered water. That's how I am with my water cooler thing that we have. Like when we first got it, because here on base, there's a lot of places where you can go and fill up the water yourself.
00:03:05
Speaker
I've tried that and I was like, no, the water tastes off. And Mike was like, it literally tastes like water. And I was like, no, it doesn't, it tastes off and I won't drink it. And he's like, yeah, we have five gallons of this. So we're going to have to drink it. And I'm like, you can drink it, but I won't enjoy that. I will not be doing.
00:03:22
Speaker
Yeah, so I essentially found this water company, and they have really great tasting water, and they drop off all the gallons of water on our porch. Nice. And we don't do anything. We just have to wheel them in, and it tastes so good. It's nice and cold. In Germany, they do. The base actually has a water company that they're cooler, and then they deliver the water thanks to you.
00:03:52
Speaker
And now that we went on a water rant. A huge
Haunted Adventures Preview
00:03:56
Speaker
water rant. What are we talking about today? We're talking about our haunted things. All the ghostly adventures. Ghosty updates.
00:04:05
Speaker
This is my favorite type of episode to do, honestly. I love all the witchy things, but I love just talking ghost stories. We kind of mentioned some things on the podcast, but I feel like we don't really go into super depth about some things, and a lot of things get cut in the editing process. Yeah, and we've been
00:04:33
Speaker
Our ghost is not very happy, our house ghost. I don't know what his deal is or her deal, but they need to calm down. But before I get into the house ghost, Anthony and I did the haunted tavern experience at the Limp Grand Hall.
Haunted Tavern Experience
00:04:50
Speaker
It was so much fun, but I will say there wasn't a whole lot of like ghosty things that happened. I'm pretty sure the only thing that did happen was like,
00:05:00
Speaker
During one of the performances, a light bulb burst just like exploded on the stage and like scared everyone. Like even the person on the stage, they were like, what the hell? But this was really cool. And I don't know if it's just a St. Louis thing or if this happens in other places, but basically it's a bunch of actors that come in and set up a haunted tavern.
00:05:23
Speaker
And they picked the Limb Hole Grand Hall, because we've talked about the Limb Mansion on here before, but it's a super haunted compound between the brewery, the Grand Hall, and the mansion. So they set up this old looking little tavern. And when we walked in, they basically had this vampire performing. And I told Anthony it made me think of the vampire list at concert.
00:05:47
Speaker
And he was like, what the hell are you talking about? I'm like, oh my God, how do you not know what this is? So you go in and you sit down and they bring you a drink and you're not allowed to drink it at first. You have to sit until everyone gets their drink and then they do this opening thing with each person that comes on stage is
00:06:10
Speaker
they're acting as a descendant of the Crane family like the Ichabod Crane family and they tell four ghost stories but they like these stories come from St. Louis like ghost lore whether it's like true or not I don't really know I tried looking into some of it and there was like
00:06:30
Speaker
It was kind of like some of the stories seem like they were pulled from a bunch of different things that happened. Yeah, but it was still a really cool experience. And you got like four really boozy fucking cocktails, like four cocktails and people were like, we saw a girl so drunk, she fell down the stairs. I hate laughing, but it was like, it was funny because she was stumbling around and you know, these buildings are so old. They were built in the 1800s. They don't have elevators. It's all stairs. And this is like,
00:06:58
Speaker
I want to say it's like three flights up to the Grand Hall and she's like kind of like tipsy stumbling and I don't know if it was her boyfriend or what he was, but he was like, do you want me to help you? And she's like, I don't need your help. And she had a drink in her hand too. And she's like slid all the way down.
00:07:18
Speaker
That would make my day. She was hitting all the stairs with bumpies. I don't know, she landed with her cocktail right, but because she slid down the stairs and every bump she hit, it was just spilling all over her. It was an empty cup at the bottom. Yeah, I was like, she was fine, so it was kind of funny. She would have got hurt out and been like, oh shit. But she was like,
00:07:42
Speaker
But it was really fucking funny. But like, like four great cocktails and it wasn't like, I think we paid $40 for this like whole thing. So like it wasn't even like expensive or anything. It was like a really cool like start of spooky season event to do.
00:08:00
Speaker
But yeah, the experience itself was amazing. The actors were amazing. The stories were really cool. Again, I don't know if they were just created from a bunch of different local lore or if I'm just looking in the wrong place because I couldn't find the exact stories. But it was a lot of fun. And they had this man who was like, so everybody was kind of different things, right? So the one, he was really intense. He checked our tickets when we got there and he's just snapping and pointing and
00:08:29
Speaker
kind of like aloof to other people. And he, when we got upstairs, he was like creeping around almost like a vampire, but his like, his story was like he was a cousin to Ichabod Crane and he was a professor at a school or something. And then he like told the story of like a young teenager in St. Louis that was killed for, because like he was like kind of like a goth
00:08:55
Speaker
kid and his girlfriend was like a really popular girl and her brother and his friends killed him for like being with her. So it was like this really sad story. But these drunk bitches during the show would not shut the fuck up. And like at the beginning, the rule was like, do not interrupt the performers, you will be asked to leave kind of thing. He got so mad. This was like a daddy Dom moment. We were all fucking dying laughing.
00:09:23
Speaker
so he was like you get up and they were like them and then he's like no you loud bitches get up and they like stood up and he was like go stand at the wall and they were like looking at him like what the fuck and they like went and stood by the wall and he was like no turn around and face the wall you don't get to watch
00:09:39
Speaker
We're just like watching these grown ass adults just like listening to this man and they're like standing facing the wall until he was done and then he was like, go sit down. Oh my gosh, I would be so embarrassed. I mean, they embarrassed themselves a lot. And then there was a lady. There was a lady, her name was Crystal. They needed like a volunteer one time during the show and she like freaked out and like jumped and they were like, okay, you. And she like goes up to the front.
00:10:06
Speaker
and she gets on the stage and the girl looks down and this is after the light bulb shattered right like it was during her performance that the light bulb shattered and everybody's like she's looking at it like what the fuck we're all like what the fuck and this lady comes up and she's like where are your shoes well she first she asked her she was like oh what was your name and she's like oh my name's chrysal and she looked down she was like where are your shoes and she was like oh i left them down there and she was like there is shattered glass up here did you not just like see that light bulb burst
00:10:33
Speaker
she's like, go put your shoes back on. So we were calling her crystal no shoes all night. But yeah, so while it was like a haunted experience, there was only like one like haunted thing, but the actual like performance of it was really cool. So if you ever get a chance to do that, 10 out of 10 recommend we had a blast and the drinks were great. On to my house ghost though.
House Ghost Activities
00:10:55
Speaker
Most recently, starting with yesterday,
00:10:59
Speaker
I'm in the shower and because we have this foster puppy, I have baby gates set up all over the house and I confine her to our kitchen when I'm busy and I can't be down there to watch her. I put all the dogs in our kitchen area, close the gate, and then I have to block it because she's a husky puppy.
00:11:18
Speaker
is an escape artist, she climbs things, she is full on like husky personality. So I have to like pull a bunch of stuff and block it. And I'm in the shower. And I'm when I'm home alone, I don't like ever like close the door or anything. I had the bathroom door open and I'm showering and I heard noise. And I thought in my head, I was like, this bitch escaped kitchen pen again, because she does all the time. So I was like, God damn it. I was like, whatever, I'll just finish showering. Whatever happens happens. I'll deal with it.
00:11:48
Speaker
So I like finished showering. I closed, right now I'm using my hall bathroom because we're doing renovations in our bedroom. So I can't use my master bathroom right now. And in our hallway, we have this giant like storage closet with like the sliding closet doors. And I opened the shower curtain. I had the bathroom door open and I'm the only one home.
00:12:13
Speaker
And that fucking closet was all the way open. Like all the way. The door was slid all the way. That was the noise I heard while I was in the shower. It was not the escape artist puppy. She was being a little peach, staying downstairs playing with her toys like she was supposed to. The closet door was all the way fucking open. Like what the fuck? Yeah, I don't think so.
00:12:36
Speaker
Yeah, literally I picked up my phone because I had it sitting on the back of the toilet and I took a picture and sent it to Anthony and he was like, did you open that? And I was like, no, I heard a noise while I was in the shower. And when I opened the curtain, that's what I saw. That's what I saw. Yeah, and I was like, trying to rationalize with myself. I was like, maybe the cats did it. But if the cats would have gotten in, it would have just been like enough for them to squeeze in and out, like it wouldn't have pushed all the way open. And it's like, exactly.
00:13:02
Speaker
not even like somewhere that they would go anyways. It's just like in this closet, we have like board games and blankets and candles and like extra like light bulbs and shit like that. Like it's literally just a storage closet. So that happened. And then we've talked about this like hundreds of times on the podcast, but it still happens. We continue to like wake up randomly around 3am, give or take some time.
00:13:30
Speaker
because our ghost is a jerk and makes us wake up in the middle of the night when we're trying to sleep peacefully. And about two-ish weeks ago,
00:13:40
Speaker
I was sleeping peacefully. And at five o'clock in the morning, there was just a loud bang in our closet, master bathroom area, because they're joined together. And I sat there for a minute listening. What the fuck was that kind of thing? And then there wasn't anything else. And I did something fall. Is something broken? I don't know. I go in there? Nothing. I have no idea what made it.
00:14:10
Speaker
like where the noise came from, but there was nothing in there. So that was cool. And now our downstairs toilet randomly flushes. I told you about that. I'm like, bitch. Exactly. Like, you can't just be flushing people's toilets whenever we pay water.
00:14:28
Speaker
Right? I'm like sitting on the couch. I was like reading. Everything was like peaceful. It was kind of a stormy day outside. The dogs were all snuggled up next to me. The cats were like on the couch. Everybody was just enjoying the day. The toilet flushed. Like both the dogs had a Nike took off. I'm like, where are you going? Like, what do you know that I don't know?
00:14:48
Speaker
like staring at the bathroom. Home by myself, Anthony's TDY, of course. When I told him he was like, I want ghost shit too. Like, why does this bitch always just mess with you when I'm gone? Because she doesn't like you, Anthony. Or maybe she doesn't like Tiffany, trying to get you out of the picture.
00:15:10
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. And then, you know, our stuff, we randomly things just come up missing. And that's still happening. I'll be like, Oh, I need this one thing. And it will be something that I don't use every day or something that like, just something that you need every now and then kind of thing. I'll go to get it and it won't be there. And most recently, it was my stupid tweezers.
00:15:31
Speaker
And they are always, always, I have this little jar on my bathroom counter that has like my makeup brushes and like my eyelash curler. And my tweezers, I always put on the edge of it, like hanging on it. Yeah. And I was like, Oh, maybe the cats knock them off or something. I'm like looking all over. They're not anywhere to be found. Yeah. And then I like later that evening, I came in the bathroom and they were sitting on the counter. No. Yes. Yes.
00:15:59
Speaker
Yeah, that's a gnar for me. I'm like, please stop. Yeah. It's so ridiculous. And then, like, now that we're moving, like, I feel like in the next couple of months, like, as we're doing renovations and getting ready to sell the house to move to Germany, that it's only going to get worse because it, like,
00:16:23
Speaker
I don't, I wouldn't say it's like escalating, but new things are happening. We've lived here for a few years and we've dealt with the knocking on the wall in our bedroom or the middle of the night wake ups and like those kinds of things. Things have been gone missing, the random feathers that were popping up for a long time. Like we've dealt with stuff like that, but now things are just getting crazier, but not like, I don't think it's like in a bad way. I think it's just like, yeah, you watch like
00:16:53
Speaker
like movies and it's always like it escalates and it gets outrageous. What does? Like I don't, it's obviously not crazy like that, but things are getting weirder maybe? I don't know. I can see like just because the energy, the atmosphere in your home is changing and then obviously the pets since it, your ghost is obviously sensing it. And I think, you know, that just all of that increase energy too.
00:17:20
Speaker
I think gives them more energy or more power to make their presence known. Well, and this is another thing that Anthony was like, I didn't even think anything of it.
Mysterious Kitchen Smell
00:17:34
Speaker
You know, like right now our house is kind of a mess because we're renovating. So there's like tools and like flooring and just like that kind of shit everywhere, like paint buckets and stuff.
00:17:44
Speaker
So, but our house itself is clean. Like we clean our house. And the last couple of days, like we've come in and our kitchen smells like rotten food, like food that got left out for days. And I've been like searching everything. Like we have these little baskets that we keep like our potatoes and our onions and stuff in. And I was like pulling everything out, smelling everything from there. I was going through our pantry, going through the fridge. I like threw a couple of things out, but there wasn't any smell. Yeah.
00:18:13
Speaker
come and go and come and go. And I've like cleaned, I've scrubbed, I've like gone through. And I'm just like, so yesterday I was like, I cannot figure out where this smell is coming from. And it's always like, again, this is always when Anthony's at work or like not home. And so he's not there to be for me to be like, do you smell that? Can you help me find this? And so he was like, well, what does it smell like? And I was like, it smells like rotting food. And he was like, isn't that like a supernatural thing?
00:18:40
Speaker
And I was like, I don't know. I just wanted to go away. I don't like that. I feel like every time I've seen that in a movie or something, it's always bad. It's always bad. Yeah, it's always something bad. Yeah. And I've tried everything. I got to the point where I was like, did something fall? Because we live in Illinois and you have floor vents. Yeah. And they have one in our kitchen right next to the stove, which I fucking hate. Of course they do.
00:19:08
Speaker
why would you put a floor vent next to the stove and counter where you cook, where it's just gonna kick up like pet hair and dirt and stuff. It's disgusting. I keep it closed, but I was like, maybe something spilled down there. So like we pulled it open and checked. There's nothing in there. It doesn't smell like the smell and selling. I'm just, and then again, like the smell isn't constant. So I don't know, like,
00:19:32
Speaker
I cannot figure out where this smell is coming from. It's like a personal thing. That is not fun. Love this journey for me. Yeah. I'm curious to know what else your little ghosty friend has in store for you over the next few months. I know. I'm like, please just stop.
00:19:51
Speaker
We've gotten to the point at night now we burn incense and I was gifted some Palo Santo sticks. I was like, oh, let me try that. Like before we go to bed, I'll like light it in our room and just try to clear out all the energy so we can sleep. It's been pretty quiet at night, but
00:20:13
Speaker
at least in our room. It has been working. Yeah, we have the foster puppy who last night just kept us up because she has tummy issues right now. It's like either you're being up by the ghost or you're being up by the dog like one or the other. But she has a home. She goes
00:20:34
Speaker
Her name is going to be Juniper, so we've been calling her Juniper. Oh, I love that. Right? I thought it was cute. Anthony was like, that's a weird name for a dog. No, it's not. That's perfect for a dog. That's like a little Juniper berry. Mm-hmm. I love it. Yeah, so I take her Monday to stray rescue in the morning for her to get her spay, and they're going to pick her up from her spay and take her home.
00:21:00
Speaker
That's so sweet. I know. She's really cute and she's a really sweet puppy, but I am ready for her to go to her forever home because let me tell you, Huskies are not for the week. No, they are not. This dog is a terrorist.
00:21:20
Speaker
every day. I'm like, she is a terrorist and Anthony like works all day. So he's not home with her. And he's like, no, he gets home when she's tired because she's terrorized me all day. Literally. And I'm like, no, she is a fucking terrorist. And then he got it last night because I wanted to read
00:21:37
Speaker
So I was like, you're on puppy duty. Like I need a break. I want to go read a book and I'm not going to read my book and like constantly be interrupted because she's chewing on something or escaping something or doing something she's not supposed to do or peeing on the floor because she's a two month old puppy. Like right. And he was like, okay. He took her in his office and like, I should you not, not even like five minutes into this. I heard this loud crash and he came out and he was like, she's a fucking terrorist. I'm like, I told you, yes, really chewing on everything.
00:22:06
Speaker
She's climbing things and I'm like, I tell you, she does this to me daily. She is so cute. So sweet and snuggly. She's a terrorist. I don't know how people own Huskies.
00:22:18
Speaker
One of my really good friends in England has one, and he's like the cutest dog ever, but he is also one of those ones, like, you know how Huskies, everyone talks about how, like, they talk nonstop, especially with our adults. They really do talk nonstop. She and her sleep. Oh my gosh. She'll be asleep, like, for five minutes, because I feel that's all she sleeps during the day. And she'll be like,
00:22:46
Speaker
like the whole time. That's cute. And when she stretches, it's aggressive. She's like, what is wrong with you? Are you a demon? Right? Basically you the smell? Yeah, basically. Yeah, yeah. Hats off to anyone that owns a Husky because I've had a Husky puppy for just over a week and I am going insane.
00:23:14
Speaker
We have somebody in our neighborhood owns one. His name is Joker, which is such a fitting name for this dog. He is an escape artist. He gets out of their house all the time. Oh my gosh. He's figured out how to work the doors. And so they'll be in our neighborhood Facebook group. They'll be like, Joker's out again. Let us know if you see him. And then you see everyone in the neighborhood because this dog will run from you. So they'll be like, Joker's on crosswind. Joker's on tangle broke. Joker's on Hunter's way.
00:23:44
Speaker
this poor lady is like running around the neighborhood, trying to catch a game. At point that dog is warm with the streets. He would not be my dog no more because I'm having to chase your ass around. Right? She's gotten to show like just so you know, Joker's out again, he'll come home when he's tired. Right? Yeah, like, like he needs the exercise. He's been sleeping for the last two days. Yeah.
00:24:12
Speaker
They do, they require a lot of exercise too. So just listen, if you're listening to this and you're thinking, Husky, that sounds really cute. Just know if you don't exhaust them, which is almost impossible. Yeah. You're going to hate your life. Yeah. Yeah. This like week
00:24:33
Speaker
just having a temporary husky. I will never, never own one. And I used to love huskies. I used to be like, Oh my gosh, I want one because they're so pretty. They're literally prettiest fucking dogs. But they are terrorists. I can't. But now we've gone on a dog rant. Right? I get 20 minute dog rant. Let's talk about Sam's
00:25:00
Speaker
Ghosts in Japan.
Japanese Ghosts and Cultural Beliefs
00:25:02
Speaker
Ghosts in Japan. Let me just tell you all about that. For those of you who don't know, I mean, this episode, obviously, this is being released right before Samhain. But when we are recording this, this is right around the time of year in Japan where they celebrate Obon. And it's this festival where essentially they honor their
00:25:25
Speaker
deceased loved ones, their ancestors. They also have this weird tradition where they stay out of the ocean during Oban because, well, that's peak jellyfish season. But in their culture, they rationalize high jellyfish season in jellyfish in the water as their ancestors being upset. And if you get in the water during that time,
00:25:49
Speaker
the ancestors will sting you. Like the ancestors are the jellyfish, essentially. So I mean, who knows about that? But what a lot of people say is during this time of year in Japan, the veil is pretty thin. You see a lot of hauntings and things like that. And something that happened recently, like during Obann, that really made me like go, what the hell?
00:26:14
Speaker
was one of my neighbors, their house was vacant. They haven't lived in that house since May, I believe. And Mike and I, because we usually will do like a 4.30 AM walk. As we were leaving to go walk, I was like, huh,
00:26:32
Speaker
there's a light on. And the downstairs light of this vacant house was on at 4.30 AM. And I was like, that's weird. And so I asked one of my other neighbors, I was like, hey, did we get new neighbors? Did you see anybody going into that house?
00:26:55
Speaker
did the maintenance crew come to that house? And everyone was just like, no, we haven't noticed anything. And when I came back from the walk, the light was still on. And I'm just like, that's really weird because the maintenance people here, they're all Japanese. They're all really good about conserving energy and turning off lights when you leave places.
00:27:16
Speaker
Yeah, so basically, I mean, long story short, whenever I went outside, so after the walk, I went back inside, got dressed and everything. I came back out at like seven to take Avery to school and the lights were not on anymore. One, I know we had talked about this. You said that like the maintenance crew, like they don't even start working until like eight or something. And all of this happened like
00:27:42
Speaker
after and before business hours, like after the prior day, right? Yeah. After the prior day and before the current day business hours. Yes. So like somehow- Actually no one should have been in the house. Exactly. Like someone literally or something, some force turned on the light at least by 4.30 in the morning and then turned it off around like seven something. Yeah.
00:28:12
Speaker
Did you know the neighbor that lived there before? I did. Yeah. And she has said, cause I, I told her about it and she said she used to have issues like in her house, like when she'd be home by herself, like she would hear cabinet doors slam shut downstairs or they would just open by themselves and she would just be like, great. I love us. That's what I was wondering if there was like things that prior, like prior to this happening, if there was anything like that.
00:28:37
Speaker
Yeah, there definitely is. But yeah, so another thing that I feel like is kind of just unsettling. So we don't have a fence in our backyard. So every time we take our dog gizmo out to go to the bathroom, we always put him on a lead or a leash and we let him do his thing. Usually at night, he's very quick to like go in, go out and do his business because he doesn't want to miss any snuggle time.
00:29:02
Speaker
And we're outside and he is like really skittish. And I'm just like, I don't go into the grass and go to do your business, you know? But he's so skittish. Like he didn't end up even going to the bathroom. And it made me like kind of wary as well, because it's like picking up on, like it's felt outside. It felt way darker than usual. Like I couldn't really see anything in front of me. And I just felt like something was out there watching us.
00:29:30
Speaker
And I just made it like into the point that Gizmo wasn't even comfortable going to the bathroom. I'm like, I don't like that. No. Um, but also our Google home, um, has. Randomly we'll start talking to us. Like our Alexa has been doing that lately and only the one in our bedroom. Oh yeah. Yes. Yeah. So we have a couple like throughout the house, but the one in our bedroom where we'll randomly like turn on or it'll be like,
00:29:58
Speaker
Oh, I didn't, I don't know that. And I'm like, nobody said anything. Yeah, no one said anything. Whenever it happened to us, Brody was my, my friend was visiting. She was here and like, we were just in the living room talking and all of a sudden the Google home in our kitchen was like,
00:30:20
Speaker
I can't remember exactly what it said, but it was basically like telling us what the time was. Like we had asked what the time was and we hadn't. And even like the thing with the Google home is in our house, isn't the biggest house by any means. But if we are not like in the kitchen, right up on it, it doesn't hear us. Like I hate the Google. We have one that bitch never hears me.
00:30:45
Speaker
It doesn't hear well. And like, if we're in the living room, like it doesn't hear what we're saying. We didn't mention anything about like what time it was or anything like that. Well, and with those ones, you have to like, hey, Google to like turn it on. Like literally, I feel like when I use the one in our garage, because I use it for when I work out, I connect my thumb to it to listen to music through it. Hey, Google. Hey, Google.
00:31:13
Speaker
Hey, Google. It'll like finally be like, like the little dude. Right? And so the fact that like we were in the, we were just in the living room talking, nothing. You mentioned anything about, Hey, Google, even though we have a Google home, all of our phones are iPhones. So it's not like,
00:31:33
Speaker
I had accidentally done something on my Google phone. We all have iPhones, so it's just weird. But that's not the only gadgets in our kitchen.
00:31:43
Speaker
we will have like our air fryer will just like turn on like not turn on like heating up but as in like our air fryer all the lights will be I guess when you're not using it it's in like the save mode where none of the lights will come on unless you're actually using it or have touched the home screen and you'll just be sitting on the couch and then the air fryer's lights will turn on like somebody's touched it. He's like I'm hungry.
00:32:14
Speaker
Oh, it's a mess of statistics.
00:32:17
Speaker
But I honestly think that the kitchen is just like a kind of an epicenter in our house for personal activity because I've had instances where I've been at the kitchen and I'm washing dishes and I'll see out of my periphery somebody walking past me and going from one side of the living room to the other, which that door is right by where I would wash dishes.
00:32:44
Speaker
I've also experienced this, and we might have even talked about it on the podcast, I'm not sure, probably.
00:32:51
Speaker
I remember it really freaked me out, but I was washing dishes and I had TikTok pulled up. I was scrolling through TikTok while washing dishes or something. I was at an angle as well because I was loading the dishes in the dishwasher. Somebody was behind me. I could feel somebody standing behind me. My husband was home at the time, so I assumed it was him. I wasn't freaked out. I just knew that he was standing behind me watching this over my shoulder.
00:33:21
Speaker
I turned around and there's no one there. And I was like, wait a second. My husband was just here. I know he was just here. And so I went to go find him. He was in the shower. He wasn't even downstairs. He couldn't have even been there and left. Right. Yeah, no.
00:33:41
Speaker
He wasn't even there um But you know outside of that so like I said like I feel like most of the things happen around our kitchen area And it's also my least favorite spot in the house, and I've always attributed it to well I just don't really like to cook and our kitchens kind of small, but then it makes me wonder like do I have this aversion to the kitchen because
00:34:06
Speaker
it's ghostly in there or something or like the energy feels off because it seems to be like the epicenter of all of our interactions.
Unsettling Household Occurrences
00:34:14
Speaker
Didn't you have, wasn't like one of the girl's jackets or something? There was something in the kitchen with a jacket. Oh my God. I remember you talking to me. Yes.
00:34:23
Speaker
I gave me chills and I'm in my eyes water just now thinking about it. Yes. So I, it was my jacket. Oh, this was in the dining room. Oh my gosh. It's like brought tears to my eyes because I forgot about this and it freaked me out so bad. Yeah. It was horrible. Yeah. I wish I would have taken a picture of it because like, holy shit. Yeah. I had my windbreaker, I guess brain jacket thing.
00:34:48
Speaker
Yeah, on the back of our dining room chair. And I was just walking through, like, I think I was turning off things. It was about time for bed or something like this happened to walk through the dining room and I see the hood, you know, the this fucking drawstrings of the hood. It's cotton or whatever it's made out of that shoelace type fabric. Yeah. And one of them was sticking straight up like it was being held
00:35:18
Speaker
And I was like, the fuck? And I was sitting there thinking, because it reminded me of Pippi Longstocking. There's no way it could be such an unnatural angle. It freaked me out so bad. And I went to go touch it to be like, why is it doing that? Is there something in it that's causing that? No.
00:35:45
Speaker
And I couldn't get it like I went over and like was manipulating it trying to get it to do it again. And I couldn't like it wouldn't like because it is fabric and fabric was not just stick straight up like Yeah, didn't you say like right when you went to like touch and it just like fell? Yes. Yeah. I was trying to remember I like I knew it had a
00:36:05
Speaker
I thought it was in your kitchen for some reason. I don't know why I thought it was in your kitchen. Well, the kitchen, dining room, area is like all the same place. Like it's all shared space because we are little base houses. So small. Yeah. That freaked me out. And I'm just like. Why? Yeah. They're just inspecting it, making sure your strings are good. Right. Like I'm going to need them to not because
00:36:35
Speaker
That really freaked me out like that. Yeah. And even just thinking about it now, like, I feel like I've kind of blocked it from my memory because it was so, so creepy. I'm bringing up your traumatic events. I'm sorry. Right? No, I'm just kidding. That was really creepy. That was like, really fucking creepy.
00:36:53
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, other than that, like randomly, like I'll be in my room. And this always happens, like how it always does. Like it seems like oftentimes everything happens whenever Anthony's not there. And this seems to be like what happens whenever I'm by myself.
00:37:08
Speaker
Or if I'm here with the kids or something, like, like I'll have the kids in bed and then I'll be in my room, you know, just like reading or playing on my phone. And it sounds like someone's walking down the hallway, I'm walking up the stairs. I could just, and like, no one's there. And like, no one's walking by because we have a motion censored light in our hallway. So if you were walking up the stairs, you would activate it. And even coming from either of the girls' rooms, they would activate it as well.
00:37:39
Speaker
then we're just activating it. Yeah. So just, you know, creepy. I hate it. It's like, it's funny, because like, we go out and do these kinds of things. Like, we're like, you know, we did the Missouri State Penitentiary, we've done other stuff. But like, like, we go out and we're like, Oh, I want to do this haunted thing. But then when it happens at home, you're like, well, no, right? It's supposed to be our safe space. Like, I'm all about like, going exploring, like,
00:38:07
Speaker
any cemetery or any, like, you know, like the prison that we did in the past, like, I wouldn't love to do that again. But like, it's just staying out of my house though. Like, I'm okay with, you know, it just really creeps me out. Yeah. Spooky spooky. I wonder too if like,
00:38:31
Speaker
Like I already feel like stuff at my house is going to get worse in the coming months, but with it like being the coming of spooky season, I've never paid attention to like this time of year, like the activity this time of year versus other times of the year. Right. Yeah. I was like, Oh, it's just, it's just happens. This is just my house. It's just my house. Yeah. It's probably just me. I don't really know.
00:38:55
Speaker
Yeah, well, and like, two, it's really funny, because, you know, we've talked about this before, we're like, we'll be like, Oh my gosh, this happened. And like, Anthony and Mike will both be like, Oh, it's just this, it's just air pressure. It's just this thing that's not a ghost thing. But like, I know there have been so many instances that people have come into our house and things have happened. Like, our friends, James and Lexi were over one time. And
00:39:22
Speaker
she literally heard somebody go, hey, babe, like right here. And she got over James and he was over like in a different area of the house with Anthony. She turned around and was like, yeah. And then she looked at me and she was like, did you hear that? And I was like, no. And she was like, I swear, somebody just said, hey, babe, in my ear. And I was like, stuff happens. I don't know. Yeah. And it's funny because she like, I think they've only come over like once
00:39:47
Speaker
outside of that because she is like very like anti-ghost anything. And then Julia has always said that like it feels like there's like a presence in our spare room and stuff like that. Our friend Andrea, she, what is it called? Claire? She can see. Oh, Claire Buant. Buant. I want to just, I was about to say like Claire Visual and I was like, close. Yeah, yeah. So like, we always laugh because her and I talk about that shit all the time.
00:40:17
Speaker
She has a lot of activity at her apartment. She lives right outside of Eureka Springs in Arkansas, which is a super haunted space we've talked about before. But she was over one time and we were sitting out on the back patio like it was me, her, Anthony, our friend Brian was in town. And I think Alexis and Jen were over too.
00:40:35
Speaker
We're sitting outside hanging out. And I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. But when I looked, there wasn't anything there. But when I looked, she went, you saw it too, didn't you? And I was like, what was it? Because I didn't see it when I looked, but I saw like out of the corner of my eye. And she was like, no, something just walked by your back door. Sweet. And I was like, cool. Yeah. Can you tell it to go away? I love this journey. Yeah. So
00:41:00
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. I guess we'll see. I'll try to pay attention. I'll try to like even well, I'm gonna try and keep in mind because it is spooky season and I want to see if there's like a difference because I've never really thought about it. But also I feel like there is just going to be a difference this time of year this year because we are renovating and preparing to move and like going through and cleaning out and yeah, there's a lot of change going on anyways. So I feel like it is going to be worse.
00:41:30
Speaker
I can definitely see that. Yeah. Yeah. But hopefully not. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
Invitation for Listener Stories
00:41:41
Speaker
I just want the weird smell to go away. Like I thought it's not a constant smell, you know, like it's just a random every now and then it's like a weird old food smell to me. But I don't like it. Please stop.
00:41:55
Speaker
Right. Yeah. Take a shower if that's you, ghost. Yeah. You can turn the water on for that. Yeah, please. Yeah. No more question in the toilets, but if you need to take a shower, please just help yourself. Yeah. Yeah, but that's all I have. That's all my ghosties turn out. That's all the ghosties I have as well. Pretty creepy though. Yeah.
00:42:18

00:42:45
Speaker
I know we've had one, one person. I can't remember if we shared that on the podcast or not, like their story. Cause I don't know if we asked them. I don't know if we asked, but yeah. So we have one ready to go. We just, as long as they're okay with us sharing it, but it would be a lot of fun to do like a listener spooky episodes. I would be so down for it.
