Listener Tales 107: You've got probed! | Forensic Files

Hey weirdos. I'm Ash. And I'm Elena. And this right here is Morbid. It's Listener Tales. Big B brought to
you by you, for you, from you and all about you, honey. And it's a little different this week or this month
because um this is just an audio version this month. I am terribly sorry. I know.
>> Um we had the blizzard of the century and it [ __ ] up some of our uh you know
technology. So >> not fun. >> We're a little bit uh just scrambling here to get some stuff done. So we
apologize. We'll be right back to our regularly scheduled uh video listener tales next month
>> in March. And we already have our costumes planned. They're also really good.
>> Yeah, they're sitting right next to me right now. >> Me, too. I'm pretty excited.
>> So, yeah. So, uh this will just be an audio version. So, yeah, this is going to be like old school listener tales for
one episode. >> And just like so everybody knows, we won't have Nicholas on during this one
because what we usually do is we put the Nicholas version on YouTube and then like the without Nicholas goes out on
just like regular audio and everywhere else. So, since you're just listening, we will not have Nicholas, much to
Arugrin and probably a lot of other people's. >> But for the people who don't like
Nicholas, this one goes out to you. >> This one goes out to >> And you're still valid.
>> It's true. We're We're trying to we'll please you all hopefully. >> Yeah. And one thing I just wanted to
point out was uh we were we were informed um by this person that come to our attention come to our attention that one
of our listener tales that we did about dreams um I think one of them may have used this person's actual dream as their
story unless they had the exact same situation which I don't know but either way this person's name is Sarah James
Middleton you can find her on Instagram. The person who's like dream that was possibly taken.
>> Yes, >> she's on Instagram for and her handle is under the Capricorn sun. So immediately
I was like gamey game. >> Um she shares all this really cool like lucid dreaming content but she shares it
because she lucid dreams a lot and I think she shares it as like kind of a catharsis and therapeutic way for her.
So, it felt pretty violating that somebody else kind of took her dream and pretended it was theirs. So, that's not
cool. Don't do that. >> Yeah, don't do that. >> Um, have your own dreams and if you're
sending us dreams, they should be yours. >> Yeah. >> Um, cuz obviously and she she was so
sweet about it. But, I wanted to make sure that she felt recognized about this and that she was acknowledged that that
was her dream. >> Um, and that you should follow her cuz she has like cool [ __ ] on her page.
>> Alina told me about this last week and I followed her. Some of her stories are
wild. really wild and she also does like amazing costumeuming and fashion and she's really cool follow. I really
highly suggest you find her. It's Sarah James under the Capricorn sun on Instagram. And again, her stuff is
really cool to follow. And we just want to acknowledge like don't don't take other people's like stuff and pretend
it's yours. >> Yeah, that's plagiarism. >> I thought we all knew that, but I I guess we do have to say something.
Sometimes you just need reminders, >> especially dreams. That that can feel very violating someone stealing like
your literal dream that your brain came up with. >> Eat like a couple pieces of dark
chocolate before bed and you're sure to have some weird dreams that you can write into us about
>> and then write into us cuz we want to hear them. Just don't take someone else's.
>> Fun experience. Chocolate dreams right in. >> There you go. >> Love you. But yeah, so it's listener
tales time and I just wanted to say something really quick of [ __ ] the US boys hockey team, the Olympic hockey
team. Uh you guys are [ __ ] >> But congratulations to the women. >> Congratulations to the women on though.
You [ __ ] killed it. >> Let's go girls. >> Babies go home. >> Um so the boys suck, but congrats to
Canada on silver. You deserve gold. Congrats on your silver medal to the men's US or men's US the men's Canada
Olympic hockey team. >> That part. >> Congrats on your silver. You earned it. >> Mhm.
>> You earned more. >> Anyway, >> so >> less about men. >> I just had to say that cuz it's really
been pissing me off. >> Yeah. >> Uh but yeah, let's get into some listener tales because we're going to be
talking about some UFOs. UFOs, if you will. >> Someos. You got probed. >> You've been probed. You got probed.
>> Remember when somebody did art of that? >> Oh, that art was awesome. >> That was good art. We should try to get
that on some merchy. >> We got to find that art again. >> We do have to find that art. It's on
art. >> Some computer somewhere. >> It is. Uh but yeah, and um I think I heard UFOs for the first time on last
podcast on the left. >> Yeah, that makes sense. >> Shout out for them. >> Um but yeah, this is going to be a fun
one. I I love talking about UFOs. I do. It's really fun. >> Obama was just talking about aliens
recently. In fact, >> he said that there are aliens. I mean, and he said that was the first thing he
wanted to know when he got to the White House. And I have to wonder how many like first day presidents are like,
"Okay, aliens go." >> Oh, hell yeah. Like, that would be my first thing. I'd be like,
>> "Yes, no. Okay, where are they? Show me. Can you show me? >> Show me to me, Rachel."
>> Truly. >> All right. Do you want to go first or would you like me to? >> Uh, I'll go first.
>> Oh my god. Okay, >> let's go first. This one's called Listener Tale by My Very Rational
Husband. >> Oh. Dear Elena and Ash, my wife Jill, she says to please use her name, Jill.
>> Hello, Jill. >> She listens to your podcast. Some might say obsessively. >> Iconic.
>> Love Jill. >> Let's go, Jill. >> She listens and relistenss to your podcast. So, to say she is a fan might
be an understatement. She has been asking me to write down an encounter I had several years ago. I had another
weird thing happen today. So, I thought now that I have two stories, I should take the time to write them down and
share them with you. Hell yeah, brother. to my experiences, both of which happened in the same neighborhood in
which we still live. In fact, both of these stories happen on the same street. >> We live in the Albuquerque metro area
and I will call this road Sai to protect my location and an anonymity. That's always really to say.
>> It's like a Nemo when she's like nim. Uh Sai Road is on the outside border of
the neighborhood and has a nice walking path. A little about me. I'm an early bird. Me, too. Now, are you this of an
early bird? >> I like to wake up every morning at 3:00 a.m. No, >> that's crazy. My brother.
>> My brother in Christ. >> You like to do that? >> You are an early bird. >> Doll, that's not morning.
>> That's the middle of the night. >> Doll, that's the night time. The sun is not up.
>> Well, you know what? Jill is correct. Jill forever because Jill says 3:00 a.m.
is the devil's hour. It is. But she sleeps safely through it. >> If I do see the devil, I'll send in
another story. Honestly, you're a real one. Thank you for that. >> Anyway, my sleeping schedule is 7 days a
week, 365 days a year. I'm very dedicated and it is very rare that I deviate from it. I'd like to tell you
that's very healthy. >> That's super healthy. >> That's really healthy. >> If you had an aura ring, maybe you do.
It's probably like, holy [ __ ] healthy. >> Good job. That's really good to go to
bed at the same time and wake up around the same time. That's like really good for you.
>> You're probably going to live a long time. >> So, during the warmer time of the year,
I walk our dogs around the neighborhood between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. in the morning. in the winter. We
>> You lost me there, partner. You lost me there. >> I literally said I read it the way it
was written. This is no shade to you. >> No, it's not. >> Uh but Oh, one of his biggest fan is So,
and it's honestly I think it's hilarious. >> I don't mean it. >> When somebody says like 700 p.m. at
night or like a.m. in the morning, it's nothing you did wrong. You didn't do anything.
>> I just saw her face go like And I had to point it out. >> Some of the closest people in my life
said that it's true. >> Now, in the winter, we walk a little later in the day. We walk six to seven
days a week. Damn, you are healthy. >> Waking up, walking. Hot girl walking. >> Married to Jill.
>> Married to me. Great decision. >> You're going to live forever, my friend. >> Listening to morbid. Let's go.
>> Our walk is a little over a mile. Like, Jesus. But it can take us 30 to 45 minutes to complete because the dogs do
enjoy sniffing around. I get that. We walk along a messa. Oh, I said it right without looking at the phonetic
spelling, everybody. >> Okay, Mensa. But thank you for that phonetic spelling. Uh, that has wide
open and rough spaces, flat, sandy, and dotted with scrubby sage brush. We don't
see many people or cars. And to be honest, I love that part of the day. I I also love really early morning.
>> I love that part of the early morning when there's nobody else awake. >> It feels like we have the whole world to
ourselves. I also don't wear AirPods or headphones or listen to music during my walk.
I usually only take my Apple Watch in case of emergencies, but I like to have this time to unplug since I work with
technology all day being it. That's really smart. >> While on my walks, I've had a few
run-ins with coyotes, owls, raccoons, lost dogs, and a few people that were drunk or on drugs and driving by and
harassing us. But overall, it is a peaceful and calm walk 99.99% of the time. >> I really want to have a runin with an
owl. I've only had two. I had one owl in my life and it changed me down to my very core.
>> Fundamentally changed you as a person. It was the coolest experience of my 29
years of life. >> We have an owl who is right outside of our bedroom window every night and you
don't see it. And I don't see him, but I look every night I'm always like, "Show
yourself. Show yourself." >> But I hear him and he's so spooky. >> And every time he starts, John's always
like, "Oh my god, that thing is scary." And I'm like, "He's beautiful." No, not scary at all.
>> And he's spooky as hell. Like it sounds spooky, >> but not scary. There's a difference.
>> Love him. >> I love owls so much. Like I just reached a point in my life where I just want to
be surrounded by owls. >> Yeah, same. I I feel connected to owls and weird. Owls and crows.
>> Crows, too. I get crows. Yeah. >> Yeah. I feel like we could just be vibing all over.
>> Let's just You and I should just become weird old bitties who are just like like
the lady like we could be like the pigeon lady from Home Alone 2 but with owls and crows.
>> Yeah. Hell yeah. >> Cuz at first when you just said we should be we become weird old bitties. I
was like become >> Well, we're not old yet. >> Become. >> So like when we're when we're old and
gray >> Hell yeah. >> Let's be weird then as well. I'm going to be >> and let's level it up a few.
>> I'm going to be calling the crows at all times. I'm already starting. I'm starting. girls.
>> Let's go. >> Um, so the first story happened at the end of the summer or early fall in 2019.
>> During this story, we had two dogs, Gidget. Oh my god, I love our border terrier and Baxter, our terrier mix. I
love this. We were walking down Sai Road, and as we approached the corner to turn back onto our neighborhood, I
started hearing a noise. It sounded like a generator. I knew this sound because it sounded like the large generators at
work that power our data center when the power goes out. At first, the sound was
faint, but within a few seconds, the volume increased. It was getting louder and louder. On Sai Road, we have the
neighborhood to the right of me, an elementary school with not too much around it on the left side of me. The
rest is mostly open Mesa. The generator noise was getting really loud, and both me and the dogs were trying to figure
out where this sound was coming from. I shown my flashlight around, but I didn't
see anything, and the dogs just stopped in their tracks. I didn't want to move. I wouldn't say I couldn't move, but I
just felt frozen. Like I could have moved, but I didn't. If that makes sense. It does.
>> It does. >> As I get ready to try to put my hands over my ears, because the noise is now
so loud, it just stops. I mean, it stops like you paused a song. >> No echo or reverberation or anything
like that. It went from uncomfortably loud to silence instantly. That honestly would [ __ ] me up.
>> I think that's what it's meant to do. >> Yeah. I looked up at the sky and saw a
small but very bright light hovering in the sky above us. >> No, thank you. >> I'm not sure how high it was, but it
seemed like it was very high in the sky. The light moved towards the Sandia Mountain Range to the east in less than
2 seconds. Based on my Google Maps estimate, the mountains are at least 20 miles away from me as the crow flies. As
the crow flies again, this light went from hovering over me and the dogs towards the mountain and out of view in
less than two seconds. the [ __ ] >> I am not sure our military or civilian airlines have anything that can go from
hovering to out of sight in less than 2 seconds. At this time, I worked at our city school district in it. And I later
verified that we didn't have any generators at the nearby elementary school, so I know that was not it. As
far as I could tell, there wasn't any construction going on around us. The skies were clear as the sun was starting
to break, and I could rule out clouds. Later, I searched for reports of the noise on different platforms and I could
not find anything. >> Oh, I hate that. >> The whole thing was so bizarre and I don't have a good explanation for what
it was. >> That probably drives you insane. >> That would make me crazy. I hadn't had
any issues since that day. Well, until today, April 20th, 2025. I was taking the daily walk with our dogs, Gidget,
Bernie, our poodle terrier cross, and Rosco, our sassy papon. Sadly, Baxter passed away at old age in 2021. I'm
sorry. P Baxter. >> This experience was on the corner of Sai Road, but this time when we first
entered Sai Road. This is a Saturday morning, and even fewer people are out than normal. I think I saw one car on
the road, but no people. Around 4:30 a.m., the dogs and I are on our usual route. Switch it up. I know you got to
switch it up. We are at the point where we turn onto Sai Road. Rosco stopped to sniff some bushes. While we were
stopped, I thought I heard a jogger's footsteps. We see joggers from time to time, so nothing unusual there. We
regularly see three or so folks jogging in the morning. I don't see them every morning, but maybe once or twice a week.
All the joggers are friendly and say good morning to me and the dogs when they go by. I didn't see any joggers,
but the dogs were looking around like they heard the steps, too, so I knew it wasn't my imagination. We're right next
to an intersection and is somewhat lit with street lamps. I did shine my flashlight around for good measure, but
didn't see anything. I thought maybe it was one of the dogs that made the noise somehow. Anyway, Rosco finishes his
investigation of the shrubs and we start walking again. A few seconds later, we hear the same jogger-like footsteps run
by us on my left side. >> The [ __ ] >> You can hear the Doppler effect of the footsteps. The dogs are also looking
around trying to find this mysterious jogger again. I shine my light and nothing. These steps sounded like they
were right next to us. It was really strange. Bernie usually hides behind me when we see a jogger, and he was hiding
behind me like a jogger ran by. I don't know what to make of these experiences, but I hope you enjoyed reading about
them. We included pictures of our dogs, as well as pictures of the nearby landscape. Feel free to use and share as
you like. Those dogs are so cute. >> Oh my god, I love them. >> I don't know what to make of this.
>> Um, and the landscape is pretty spooky. The first one, the landscape is hella
spooky. Uh, the first one was a UFO. >> Yeah, I agree. And the second one was the invisible man. Oh, there you go. We
got it. >> Oh, and Baxter, the bestest boy ever. Best boy. >> Oh, they're beautiful.
>> His little tongue. >> Oh my god. And Rosco is the diva. >> Oh my god. Stop. >> G looks pretty divaish, too.
>> Oh my god. I love them. >> Our neurotic but good girl. >> Oh yeah, the mesa is that's like a
spooky place to >> to be running by yourself. He thinks you don't go there anymore.
>> I'm a little spookied out by that. >> Ooh, a desert bloom. Ooh, that's pretty.
>> Pretty. >> We'll share these because they said we can. Thank you for saying that.
>> But spooky. >> Yeah, I think you definitely experienced a UFO in that first one.
>> Yep. >> And the second one is a ghost >> or the invisible man. >> The invisible man or woman, you know?
>> Yeah, the invisible person. >> The invisible jogger. >> Yeah, I like that one. Thank you for
that. And Jill, what about us you are? And >> thank you for listening. >> Good job picking a husband, man.
>> Hell yeah. All right, tail number two is called Abducted by Aliens. Uh, hold on,
there's more. Abducted by aliens as a toddler listener. >> What? >> Holy cow. >> Oh, they shouldn't be abducting
toddlers. >> No, that's [ __ ] up. >> I don't like that. I don't like it at all. If it's adults, I'm like, hell
yeah. >> Yeah, abduct adults if you're an alien. >> But I don't like that. >> Yeah, you're an alien. If you're an
alien, not not a human. >> Uh, so hi Ash and Elena. I've been using your podcast as a form of entertaining
on my door dashing adventures. >> Hell yeah. Honestly, happy to pay it forward because as a as a frequent flyer
of Door Dash, >> pay it forward. >> I'm glad that you can can listen. >> If I hear this being read on the pod, I
might implode. So, no. Proceed with caution. Okay. My name's Colin, and I'm an 18-year-old trans guy about to
graduate high school. >> Colin. >> Colin, I hope you did not just implode. >> I hope you're still with us. I might
join the Peace Corps or buy a bakery. I love both of those things. Whichever one
is most feasible. I love making cheesecake. But anyway, enough about me. I'm already obsessed.
>> I'm already team Colin. >> Team Colin. I want you to buy a bakery and give us more cheesecakes.
>> Yes, please. >> I don't even like cheesecake. >> I love cheesecakes. >> And I like bakeries.
>> So, I experienced an alien quote unquote abduction at the age of six. >> What?
>> I doubt you'd say I'm crazy or delusional, but if you do, I don't really mind.
>> You're not? >> Yeah. Yeah, we don't think so. I'm sharing this because I, having
personally witnessed it, can't find a reasonable explanation for these memories. It's quite anxietyinducing, as
you might be able to imagine. For some background, I'm an 18-year-old trans guy, and I was born in a town of about
150,000 to 200,000 people. This town is a historical river town in the Midwest. This town has an army base, though, I'm
not sure what exactly the operations there are. Okay, >> this is an important detail because of
the recent developments within the UAP whistleblower community being so closely linked to the US military. Area 51 is
the prime example. Ah, >> I've always thought to myself, surely I got the image of this creature from
somewhere I must have. I do in fact have reason to believe that's not entirely correct. Huh? We all know what the
typical alien looks like. a pale green and/or gray, ranging from minuscule to tall with lanky, brittle looking limbs,
bulbous black eyes that reflect light seemingly because they're void of it. Now, the type of aliens I was exposed to
in the media at the time, thank Dr. Cockroach from Monsters Versus Aliens, or the aliens from Mars Needs Moms.
>> Nothing like what I awoke to one night. Suddenly, I sat up in my bed. >> Colin, I'm nervous.
>> Colin, I'm really freaked out. The brightest lights that I had ever seen were to my left, blinding me, even
through my hot pink curtains. Damn. They were the color of a slightly darker electric blue combined with white. Oh, I
can actually visualize that. >> I remember the curtains being shut for a moment and then suddenly they were open
as if they'd never been closed in the first place. >> All I could do was slowly sit up and
blankly stare at what was towering above me. I've now come to estimate the creature had to have been 6 to 8 ft
tall. What? [ __ ] that. My bed was quite high off the ground already, so it's likely toward the higher end of that
scale. I simply stared. I felt strangely calm, yet also terrified. It's like my fight flight or I can never say that.
Fight or flight system malfunctioned, and I somehow found peace in it while being nearly physically paralyzed.
Freeze. >> Yes, >> I do that, too. I simply have no memories after that. The only true image
I'm left with is the pure curiosity and neutral attitude I could feel being towards me. Oh, it sends shivers down my
spine just thinking about it now. The absence of life in its eyes. The reflection of the bright fluorescent
pale blue light behind me. My young silhouette shadow propped directly in the middle of the illumination. Ooh,
great writing. >> I know. >> The best possible way I can describe the pigment of the eyes is the absence of
light, the void itself. Hence why I said they were devoid of light. The skin was
a light charcoal gray and was perfectly matte and incredibly smooth. The texture
was fully matte, but a slight sheen was also present. H Now, I've had severe mental health problems my whole life. I
have very few memories of my childhood, and somehow this remained. The only other one related to aliens and UAPs is
late night car rides and persistently tracking the largest, brightest, and most abnormal of glowing orbs in the
sky. I do remember a string of lights at some point that could just as easily have been a man-made craft, especially
since the lights were white yellow. I would presume it is actually what I struggle to understand is how light
could have been that bright while not producing any heat that I could feel. >> Why do I not remember it?
>> Is it because of childhood trauma? Is my childhood trauma this? So many questions
>> perhaps. >> Thank you for reading. Please feel free to share your thoughts. I can't really
accept what happened because it seems impossible. But perhaps our parameters are skewed. I love listening to you guys
so much. Thank you for making this lovely podcast. Feel free to DM me with any comments or questions. Keep it
weird, but definitely not so weird that you can't tell if you were abducted by extraterrestrials as a toddler or not.
Lots of love. Damn. I don't know, Colin. Here. I think you I think you saw what you saw.
>> Definitely. I feel like if you especially if you don't have a lot of memories from childhood, but that one
sticks out to you. >> Yeah, that's telling for sure. >> But I'm hoping you weren't abducted.
That's why I said I don't know because I really don't want for you to have been abducted as a six-year-old. I hope you
weren't abducted cuz I really want to hope that aliens are like chill and discerning enough that they're like
we're not going to abduct kids. >> Yeah. >> Like we're going to abduct adults and
see what's going on up there. >> Mhm. >> But we're going to let the kids chill. >> Yeah.
>> Like I just have that feeling about aliens that they're like they respect kids.
>> I like that. >> Um that's just my vibe. >> Yeah. >> Um my alien vibe. But >> sometimes I kind of feel like an alien
and I respect kids. Yeah. So >> I know I feel I felt like an alien my entire life and I' I I respect kids. So
>> I want to believe that it just came into your room like >> one great great curtain and two
>> maybe it was just like curious and was just like you said you could feel the curiosity almost like what's going on
there. Maybe he was just like >> I just got to see what this is about and then he was like wait this is like a
little one so he's a little human so I should leave. >> Yeah. >> That's what I'm hoping.
>> I like that theory. >> Yeah. And I think that means that you are special. >> I think so too.
>> Personally, >> I think they're like, "We could beam this one up, but maybe we should keep
them here." >> I think this one has more to do. >> And look at you. You do have to do
Peacecore Bakery. >> Yeah. >> Maybe you just name your bakery Peacecore. >> There you go.
>> Piece of cake. >> There you go. >> We'll work on it. >> Yeah, we'll work. >> You'll work on it.
>> We'll work You'll work. >> I already named one company. I can't be naming too many.
>> I can't be naming other ones. But Colin, thank you for that. And I think you I
think you saw what you saw personally. >> Thank you, Colin. And I hope you didn't
implode. >> I also hope you didn't implode. >> Hope you're still Door Dashing because
we need you out there in these streets. >> We do. We need you, Colin. Uh, so >> your job is essential. The
>> next listener tale is called Listener Tales: Alien Abduction, Diamond Guy, Mike, and Spoopy Ghost Pictures.
>> Hell yeah. >> Let's go. Hello, ladies. I admit I'm late to the morbid game, having just
started listening to you about five or six months ago. I love the podcast, the banter, the goods. I'm well on my way to
catching up. You're a badass. >> Let's go. >> I just finished the Ian Brady and Myra
Henley episodes. Never have I wanted to rekill some already dead people as bad as I did those two sons of [ __ ]
>> Do you know that I still wake up in the middle of the night and think about that
case? In fact, it happened to me literally a few nights ago. >> Yeah. Every once in a while, it'll pop
into my head and certain things will pop into my head about it and it will ruin me.
>> Me, too. So, I also have never wanted to rekill some already dead people as badly
as I wanted to kill. >> Let's team up and do it together. >> Yeah. Um, and remember, punch a Byra
Henley supporter in the face. Remember that whole >> Yeah, >> I do. >> Anyhow, I've been joding for to send you
guys my two stories and some spoopy ass zombie ghost lady pictures that I took about 20 years ago.
>> [ __ ] yeah. >> So, here we go. I'm going to type up both the stories and hope you read them
both because they are absolutely [ __ ] bonkers and I still get chills when I talk about them.
>> Here we are. First up, I'm 99.999999999999999999999999% certain that I've been abducted by
aliens. >> I'm pretty sure about that, too. >> I am too. That or my ass did some
spontaneous teleportation [ __ ] Both pretty cool. >> Both of which are hard to believe, but
the one logical explanation for what happened turns out to be not that logical at all. So, here goes.
>> Newcastle, Wyoming, 1996. About the time Ash was born, I think. In fact, my friend Shannon, her little brother,
little sister, and myself decided to do a camp out under the stars. >> That's beautiful.
>> And in the '9s, we did that [ __ ] >> Shut up about all your good '9s times. >> We had our sleeping bags all lined up.
It was little brother, little sister Shannon, and then myself. We were laying on the top of a hill that boarded the
north end of the town we had grown up in. This hill was a strange long and narrow hill that basically served as a
stopping point for the town. There were no houses on this hill and beyond it was
just barbed wire fences and then black hills forest. >> Well, the four of us were laying in our
sleeping bags looking up at the stars. We were making stupid jokes about how we couldn't find the quote little dicker.
Yes, the little dicker because when you're 13, stuff like that is funny as [ __ ]
>> Still is. >> The last thing I remember talking about was the Little Dipper before we all went
quiet and started to doze off. It was a beautiful night. The stars were bright. There was no wind, which is unheard of
for Wyoming. And the temperature was perfect for camping under the stars. And then I woke up, but I didn't wake up
where I had fallen asleep. I had woken up near a mile north of where we had fallen asleep. No, I hate that for you.
>> Standing facing due north, directly away from town in a small clearing in the
middle of the forest. >> [ __ ] what? [ __ ] that. That's the beginning of a really good horror movie.
>> Yep. Now, first things first. Everyone in their grandma is going to say, "That
[ __ ] be sleepwalking." >> Well, let me tell you why I wasn't sleepwalking. First, I've never
sleptwalk prior to the incident. Nor have I done it since. I'm 40 now. >> Look at you. A couple 40-year-olds.
>> Also, where I had not woken up, there was a lot of harsh sage brush, pine needles, and not one but two barbed wire
fences for me to get back to where we had fallen asleep. >> What? Yeah. You wouldn't have been able
to sleepwalk that far. >> No. And you'd have some injuries if you did. Now, the composure that my
13-year-old self had in that moment was phenomenal. I told myself, "Hey, it's okay. You were just sleepwalking. I
turned around and could easily see the lights of town. My feet were fine. My clothes were fine. Nothing seemed out of
place except my ass that was a mile from where I had fallen asleep. Lo and behold, I start walking back in the
direction of town, and I have a number of terrains I have to walk over. First, the dried grass and sage brush, then an
area of thick pine trees, pine cones, and a carpet of dead pine needles." Ouch. Now, I'm not sure if you've ever
stepped on a pine needle, but those [ __ ] hurt. Yeah, they do. >> Yeah. >> Could I sleep through that? Maybe. But
let's get to the barbed wire fence number one. This sucker was nearly brand new. The wires were tight, and my awake
and conscious self struggled to slither my fat booty through the wires. That [ __ ] is hard enough to do in the daytime
without getting your clothes caught on it, let alone at 3:00 in the morning. I'm assuming that's what time it was
because this is some weird [ __ ] and there was no cell phones back then. >> Hey, Joel's husband was awake. That's
right. Jill's husband was taking a walk. So, the first barbed wire fence I finally crawled through, but I snagged
the back of my shirt on it and tore a little hole in it. The second barbwire fence that I came to after walking over
several hundred more feet of pine needles and shale rock was less impressive, and in the pale moonlight, I
was able to find a spot where the top wire was down, so I crawled over the top of it.
>> Nice. >> I had to walk for a while before I find my friends. All three of them were sound
asleep in their sleeping bags. I crawl into my sleeping bag as if nothing ever happened, but my feet were achy and cut
up from the walk back. I had snags in my clothes and scratches on my hands. By morning, I had convinced myself yet
again that it was just a bizarre and isolated incident of sleepwalking. The older I got, however, the more that
never made sense. There's no way in a million years you could convince me that I walked my ass a mile from where we
were sleeping over sharp pine needles, through two barbed wire fences, and a whole lot of other obstacles without
being woken up. I've never been a heavy sleeper and reiterate that I've never been a sleepwalker. Not before, not
since. >> Yeah, that's weird. I had never in many years considered the idea of being
abducted by aliens until I told this story to a friend. And without missing a beat, he simply said, "You were
abducted." To this day, I believe it. There's just no way I could have made it that far from our little camp without
something stirring me awake. You know, like getting my ass tangled in a barbed wire fence. And mind you, this is
Wyoming. Those fences stretch on for miles and miles in both directions. Damn. Anyways, I don't think I was
probed. I was 13. But something really [ __ ] weird happened that night, and that's the best explanation I can come
up with because sleepwalking just isn't fathomable. I didn't tell Shannon or her
siblings about the experience. I was honestly too embarrassed. But the older I got and the more I was compelled to
tell the story, it's interesting how a lot of people have had similar experiences, all of which are completely
unexplainable. >> It's true. >> That's my first story. Keep it weird. Q Ash. Uh, but not so weird that you wake
up in the middle of nowhere all the way away from your friends and you're like you have no damage from crawling under
barbed wire fences. Yeah. And what you said, but not so weird that you go on a camp out on a hill north of town where
nothing extraordinary ever happens and you sit in your sleeping bag talking about the little dickers and wake up to
find yourself in a clearing a mile from where you fell asleep and have to turn into bare [ __ ] gorillas to find
your way back in the dark after being abducted by aliens. Do not do that. >> That weird. I would have read yours if I
saw it. I didn't see it. >> It's okay. We need an Ash one. Now, my second story. You got abducted by
aliens, by the way. You got abducted by aliens. >> There's no way you wouldn't have had
like evidence of of being ripped up by the fences and like your feet hurting. >> I'm a sleepwalker.
>> Yeah, I'm a sleepwalker. I haven't done it. I haven't done it in a while, but
now I have children who are who are sleepwalkers. >> Um or at least one child who is a
sleepwalker >> and you it just doesn't work that way. I think people have this like weird
misconception about what sleepwalking actually is. Yeah. You're not trekking a mile down the road. It's just not
happening. You're doing some weird [ __ ] >> You might I've heard of people walking
out their front door and like moving some some like distance >> a mile through like terrain shitty
terrain. >> It's just not happening. Usually you're just come you're walking downstairs and
saying some weird [ __ ] to your parents or something. >> Yeah. Drew slept before a few times and
one time he just left peanut butter in the top rack of the dishwasher. >> That's hilarious.
>> And I was like, "What the [ __ ] is he doing here?" And he was like, "I actually have no idea."
>> My oldest sleepwalks and she they they come down at night a lot and like just
because they're trying to push >> bedtime. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. Can you lay with
>> She looked at me a weird way. >> Yeah. So, but when they come down, they always do this thing cuz like the
kitchen is off of the living room and they'll just kind of like peek around the corner and we can always hear their
little feet. Yeah. So we always brace mute the TV and just wait for them to come around
>> and then they'll just like kind of slowly walk over to us to tell like tell us from the middle of the kitchen.
>> But when she's sleepwalking I hear it. >> I love like just what she does >> cuz she just comes barreling down the
hallway and we can hear and usually like that isn't the give right away cuz sometimes they'll like pitter patter
down the hallway. It's that she comes barreling around the corner and walks full speed directly at us just staring
at us. >> It's like a freight train coming at us and we're just like, "Oh god." And then
she just sits down. >> And then she just sits down in front of us and we'll stare at us and we're like,
>> "Hi, >> hi love. What's going on?" And then she'll snap out of it at some point or
we'll just have to bring her back upstairs while she's still sleeping. >> So scary.
>> But I can always tell when she comes barreling around the corner, we're like,
"Oh, she's she just comes at you. There she comes. >> Does she have She has like a different
look in her eyes. >> She does. It's a It's a I'm asleep. >> Like it's just I'm not really looking at
you. I'm looking through you kind of look. >> It's so creepy and I hate it. >> Yeah, it's wild.
>> Knock on wood. Never done that at my house. I don't know what I would do. She
doesn't do it often. It's a every once in a while. >> Once in a blue moon. >> But it's funny what she does.
>> I think it would freak me out. I really hope my children someday don't sleepwalk. That's honestly all it is.
All that's important is you just talk to them softly and then you just get them to get up and you just walk them back
upstairs and into their bed and you tuck them in and you say good night. There's
so much [ __ ] that comes with having kids that you just don't like. Luckily I think of because of your kids prepared
>> and then I go home and I'm like Drew when we have kids someday we might have to deal with like ABC and D and he's
like yeah that's [ __ ] up. >> Yeah, that's you know >> you know what we'll do it then.
>> It is what it is. So yeah you got abducted. Uh you did not walk that far >> for sure. Uh, now my second story is
another long one and a doozy, but I'm not going to apologize for it being long because you've said time and time again
not to do that. >> Don't do it. >> Good call. So, here goes. Same town, Newcastle, Wyoming, 2001.
>> 2001. >> One. My best friend Aaron and I, you can use all names. Nobody cares. We were
just hanging out when our friends Ryan and Billy pulled up with some guy we don't know named Mike.
>> They say, "Hey girls, want to go check out some haunted places?" Oh man, this
would have got me. >> We're 17. Yeah. Who's Mike? We're 17 and 18 at the time. This is a small royal
town. You're damn right. We want to go to some haunted places. >> Also, let me aster 17 18. I wouldn't
give a [ __ ] who Mike was. >> No, I'd be like, let's be, >> like, hi, I'm Ash. Nice to meet you.
Let's Let's go >> haunted paranormal haunting. Let's go. >> Um, I want to go ghost hunting again so
bad. >> Desperately. >> This is getting me in the mood. >> Desperately. >> So badly.
>> Well, this dude Mike was the driver. He was one of those people who kind of gave
you weird vibes, but since Billy and Ryan were there, it was all cool because they're our good friends, and so we're
not worried about old Mikey boy. We start driving around the same rumored haunted houses and checking them out
from the road. Of course, we're all psyched up and spooking ourselves out about these places and chatting about
various things that quote might have happened in them. Then out of nowhere, this guy Mike says, "Hey, do you guys
want to go check out the meat packing plant?" >> No. >> I'd be like, "No, Leatherface. I don't
I'm all set. Why does your family live there? Excuse me, what? I had grown up in this town and had never heard of an
old meat packing plant. Well, hell yes. We want to go to the meat packing plant.
You're like, I haven't seen Tech this Chainsaw Massacre yet. So, we load up into Mike's Jeep Cherokee and head down
these back roads. We're traveling along this gravel road when down from a telephone pole, this owl sweeps right in
front of us and back up onto its perch. >> Why is that becoming a sub theme, right?
Okay, that was a little weird, but whatever. We almost said don't go to the meat packing plant.
>> It's always the thing where it says how many owls is weird. >> One. >> One is weird. When you see one owl, you
say what? I'm telling you, one owl changed the trajectory of my entire life. >> Already something's arrive.
>> Yeah. >> We arrive at the meatacking plant and I tell you, this place was spooky spooky.
There were two buildings. The creepy building and the really [ __ ] creepy building. The doors of the creepy
building had essentially been removed. Just looking at this place from the road had the worst of the worst chills
tickling down my spine. >> Oh, I would want to go. >> Mike says, "Who wants to go in?" Me,
Ryan. No [ __ ] way, Billy. Over my dead body. Me. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Aaron. I do.
>> Tag yourself. Let's >> me. [ __ ] There was no way in a 100red million years that I was going to
let my best friend go into this creepy ass place with this [ __ ] weirdo by herself. That is girl [ __ ]
>> That's girlhood. >> That is girl. You're a girl's girl. You're a good friend.
>> Good job. >> Uh, so no, she was not letting that happen. So I begrudgingly get out of the
jeep and follow the two into the creepy building. Thank heck it wasn't the really [ __ ] creepy building. I step
inside the door and the overwhelming sense of dread I got from this place was paralyzing. I only allowed myself to
stand just inside the threshold as Aaron and Mike disappear into the darkness. As
I'm standing there just listening to Aaron and making sure Mike isn't murdering her, I look to my left along
this wall where there was a massive incinerator. As I'm looking at this thing, I see movement at the base of it.
Y'all, I have a pretty sound mind in my skull, but I [ __ ] you not, there was a
puddle of blood growing out from under this incinerator towards my feet. >> What? As I watched this puddle grow even
closer to my feet, I found it hard to move away until something in my brain just snapped in me back to life and
said, "Not today, diamonds. >> Not today." I calmly stepped out of the building and back into the road. Billy
got out of the Jeep and he walked to up to me and said, "Are you okay? You don't
look so good." Well, it turns out all the color had drained from my face and I looked like I could give Snow White a
run for her money with that ivory ass complexion. I shook my head no. And Billy simply says, "You guys have no
idea what kind of dark [ __ ] you can open yourself up to by going to a place like
that." >> Like, maybe you should say that before we go in, Billy. >> I didn't respond. I simply stood there
and waited for Mike to return with Eron. Thankfully, they both came out of the building alive. I didn't have to put the
smackdown on Mike. >> Now, I know what you're thinking. That's the end. It's over. Well, jokes's on you
[ __ ] It's not over yet. >> So, we jump in the Jeep and Mike drives off. The next thing we know, he takes a
single left turn and we find ourselves lost in a corn field. What? Okay, that's not so weird. People get lost in corn
fields all the time, do they? Not in Newcastle, Wy Wyoming. They don't. We don't grow corn in Newcastle, Wyoming.
There's about an inch of sandy top soil and then it's solid rock underneath it. This land is good for grazing cattle
only. It's not good for growing anything. >> I didn't know that. >> So, we drive for what feels like an
eternity in one direction. Never leaving the cornfield. >> Ew. You were in a back room cornfield.
>> You were. You were in the liinal cornfield. Strange, baby. We drive for an eternity in another direction. Never
leave the cornfield. >> That's back room corn [ __ ] >> Then we keep driving in another
direction and bam, we're out of the cornfield. But guess where we're at? That's right. Right back at the front
doors of the [ __ ] meat packing plant. >> No. >> Oh no. No. >> No. >> No. >> Nope.
>> No. >> Now all five of us are a little weirded out at this point. >> A little. I'm in the back seat hiding my
eyes. If I can't see it, it doesn't exist. Just kidding. It totally existed. And that was the weirdest [ __ ] ever. E.
>> I'm suddenly convinced that we're trapped in a death labyrinth while the others are just joking about how weird
that was. Thankfully, Mike drives out the direction he came in. And I'll be damned if that owl didn't swoop down
from the telephone pole in front of us. Nearly hit the jeep and back up to its perch.
>> Seeing an owl twice. >> See, that's it right there. >> I feel to live my dream. Erin and I were
returned safely home that night, but the events of that night were deeply ingrained in my memory. I've told that
story to other lifelong residents of our small hometown, and many of them have the same reaction. Meat packing plant,
question mark, corn fields, question mark. We don't grow corn in Newcastle. >> I just want to start saying that to
people. We don't grow corn in Newcastle. >> Anytime somebody says something remotely
weird or like whatever, >> we don't grow corn in Newcast Newcastle. Get out of here. Moral of the story, I
think Mike was a sinister being who brought darkness with him because I love that. That's the moral. It's
Mike's fault. Mike's [ __ ] weird. Moral of the story, I think Mike was a sinister being who brought darkness with
him because that's just the vibe he gave out. And nothing that weird has ever happened to me since. Hey, if you're not
with Mike, evidence proves. >> Yeah, >> I rest my case. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell that story, but I
know you girls will appreciate its utter weirdness. And I [ __ ] believe you. Please continue to keep it as weird as
you do, but not so weird that you go haunted house hunting with creepy guy Mike. Do not keep it that weird. Bye.
>> We won't. >> And then PICTURES OF HORSES. >> HOLY [ __ ] Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my
god. I [ __ ] hate it. >> Oh, that was like that literally first of all, I have chills all over my that
was my genuine raw real reaction. Um, I forgot that you told us that you put creepy photos in.
>> I also forgot that >> we're going to post these. >> I'm so That was a real legit jump scare.
>> That was like when the It's the one that you see when your friend's like, "Oh my
god, check out this funny video." And it's at the end, oh my god. >> No, you just made me feel alive.
>> So, thank you for that. That was like a genuine I have not been that legitimately frightened.
>> I screamed. Did you hear me? I think we both did. I think we both squealled a
little bit. >> E, I want to look again, but I can't. I don't think. >> That was upsetting. What is that? Uh, I
need to go back up to the the >> Cuz at first I thought it was funny because I was like, "Oh my god, look,
the horse is touching the other horse's butt." >> Yeah. >> And then I kept scrolling cuz I thought
it would get funnier. It It got scary. >> I'm so stressed. >> It got scary. >> So stressed.
>> It got really [ __ ] scary. I scrolled up once more, but I can't anymore cuz >> Oh my god. I just saw it again.
>> You can only do it. That's the last time. I'm very I I don't H I'm going to need you to tell us more about where
those photos came from. >> Tell me about that. >> Uh I >> I'm looking to see where what you said
the uh what you said that was. >> I think they said just like creepy ghost pictures in a in a field.
>> Yeah. >> With no corn. >> Like who is that? Please tell us more about that person.
>> It's cursed. >> Um because I'm really upset by that. >> I'm holding my own self right now.
>> Oh my god. I'm like really It's so stressful, guys. I don't like it. And she just pops up out of nowhere. She's
not in like the first three. >> Nope. >> But she's definitely in the last two. >> Oh, and she looks all like she looks
like a zombie. She really does. >> I really hate it. I actually don't want to spend any more time talking about it.
>> Yeah, I don't either. We're going to post it, though. >> Okay. And it's not that I don't
appreciate that you sent the photos. I'm just really terrified and feeling really
vulnerable. >> No, you're honestly, like I said, you made me feel alive. So, thank you. That
was a hilarious reaction. Um, I really appreciate that and I'll forever be thankful for giving me a legitimate I
haven't had a legitimate frightening moment in a while. So, thank you. >> We're just down and now I feel like my
feet need to be up. >> That was a lot. >> Ew. I'm going to go in my hood. Bye. >> Wow. Thanks for that.
>> Ew, you freaked me out. >> That was great. >> Okay, so next listener tale. I'm scared.
>> Don't worry, we'll post them. I promise. So, you won't be you won't be outside of
what we just saw. You can all have that moment. >> You'll be with us. >> You can all feel alive. Oh. Oh, I just
scrolled up to her again. It >> seems like really scary. >> Oh, I hate it. Okay. Oh, [ __ ] She
scared me a lot. >> Okay, listen tails. No probing here. No probing here. >> Buenos Diaz, weirdos.
>> What's up, buenos das? Buenos no chase. My name is Elise and I'm a spooky [ __ ]
from good old Kentucky. This is southern as hell. Hell yeah. Feel free to use my
name. Elise for life. Feeling free. A little about me. I'm the resident witch chick of my friend group. I read tarot
cards and I write st scary scary scary stories in my spare time. >> If you feel like checking them out, you
can read on she the ghost.com. >> I'm literally immediately going. >> We're about to feel so alive.
>> Oh my god, you guys are giving me gifts. >> You really are. >> I really appreciate you for this.
>> Yeah, thank you guys a lot. So, my family's pretty strong believers in the paranormal and aliens and such. So,
we're pretty open to all ideas and theories about the universe. >> You sound awesome, all of you.
>> You do. Plus, I come from a long line of Bruhas. >> Oh, hell yeah. >> I literally just told the girls about
Bruhas. Hell yeah. Um, my Google Home was giving them nicknames and it called them bruhaha. And I said, "You're a
witch. >> You're a witch." >> I said, "That's bruhas. >> I love bruhas." >> So, and we believe our ancestors were
very connected to the other realms. I'm telling you all this to kind of set up the kind of people we are for the story
that I'm >> badass people. Exactly. Period. >> Thank you. Got it. >> I also work as a TV news producer. And
while I deal with a lot of serious [ __ ] on the regular, you guys are the best storytellers and help me get through
some of that with your wit and senses of humor. So, bravo to you for everything you do.
>> Oh, [ __ ] Thank you. >> Thank you. That was really nice. >> That was really nice.
>> Well, I have a whole plethora of real life ghost stories, including the man who watches me sleep, the child ghost
who haunted me and my roommate, and the haunted doll that currently lives with me. Shout out to my girl Kim.
>> What the [ __ ] >> Tell us everything you can. >> Tell us all. >> Write in all of your stories and tell us
all. >> Damn. I think I'm going to start out with a good oldfashioned alien encounter
and nar narrow escape from Probin. from probing. >> If nothing else, I hope you get a good
laugh out of it. So, buckle up and hold on to your potatoes because where you know we're Irish, huh?
Exactly. Because we're about to break some traffic laws with this one. Let's go. I love potatoes. When I was in high
school, I went to an all girls Catholic school. This particular day started out pretty normal. My dad woke me up. I put
on a scratchy ass uniform skirt and sweater and we headed out. At the time, I still wasn't old enough to drive. My
dad was my chauffeur extraordinaire. This was around 7:15 in the morning, so neither of us would be fully awake until
we got some Starbies. That's what we call Starbucks. And by we, I mean literally no one else but my ridiculous
ass. Even so, neither of us thought we would be [ __ ] bricks in full panic mode 20 minutes later.
>> No one does. >> You never You can't. Exactly. You can't just like go about your day expecting to
[ __ ] bricks. >> No, >> it'd be tough. I also want to preface this story by saying this is the same
direction we drive in every single day. Fun fact, Kentucky has some pretty [ __ ] weather most of the time. One
second it'll be snowing in April. Two hours later we'll be under tornado warning. It's real fun. Anyway, the day
in question it was spring which meant that it was humid enough to it was you're hilarious. It was humid
enough to rat up my Puerto Rican hair and make it grow to the size of Doug Dig Doug Dimmodone, owner of the Doug I
can't say it. Hold on. Make it grow to the size of Doug Dimmodone, owner of the Dimsdale Dimidones hat. That's a high
hat. I love it. Aside from my hair looking frightening AF, it was also foggy as hell. You could barely see a couple feet
in front of you, especially since the sun wasn't up yet. This will be important to remember later. As we make
our way up the ramp to merge onto the expressway, that's when we saw them. Up in the sky, hovering overhead were
multiple circular aircrafts made out of rings of light. Whoa. Each one looked like six or seven orb round orbs
floating in the shape of a circle. And it wasn't just one. It was a whole [ __ ] fleet. What? Uh, Dad, what? Dad,
what am I looking at? That's when he saw them, too. And they were getting closer.
We both knew this was the moment HG Walls warned us all about. This was clearly an alien invasion. And we were
about to get [ __ ] probed. >> About to get probed. >> What the [ __ ] Dad? What's happening?
What are those? I don't know. I don't know. When your dad IS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
>> When your dad's panicking, you're in a panic. >> At that point, we were obviously both of
us were obviously [ __ ] panicking. Arms flailing, tears streaming between bickering and [ __ ] bricks. My dad
slams on the brakes and puts the car into reverse to nope the [ __ ] out of there and escape the obvious alien
invasion we were in the direct center of. Honestly, no probing today. Not our butthole, ET.
I love that he's also reversing the expressway. >> Just not happening. >> It was a good thing there were another
no other cars on the road. Otherwise, it probably would have been a bad idea. >> But we were determined to to dip us out
of there and outrun the space invaders. But holes clenched. Ain't no predator looking ass [ __ ] about to dissect our
human corpses for inter intergalactic science. Nope. Get your specimen somewhere else, guys. Hell yeah. Then
suddenly, my dad pulled over and stopped. Oh no. His face was blank, but a smile soon crept to the corners of his
mouth. >> What? >> That's when we both realized what had just happened. The fog was so thick, it
covered the entire high mass poles holding up. >> Oh my god, >> you guessed it, street lights.
>> Those were street lights. >> The spaceships that we were literally fleeing our fleeing for our lives from
were actually just [ __ ] street lights. >> I'm obsessed. Once we fully gathered our
thoughts, the two of us bursted out laughing. A grown ass man and his dumb [ __ ] daughter literally yeated
themselves off the highway thinking street lights and War of the Worlds were one and the same. Meanwhile, I was late
for class for obvious reasons, but I was not about to explain the [ __ ] my father and I just pulled. So, I chocked
it up to I overslept. >> Oh my god. >> We still laugh about it today. And I like to think of it as a lovely bonding
experience. At least we know where we stand in an alien invasion survival scale.
>> You're both getting the [ __ ] out of there. >> Yeah, you're you're killing it. Anyways,
keep it weird, but not so weird that you and your dad put it into turbo mode on the highway, but holes sealed shut
because you dumb [ __ ] don't know the difference between street lights and the goddamn mothership. So then you end up
late to school because of your anti-robing detour. Make good choices. E, I love that. Oh my god. And they
attached uh the street lights if they >> They do look I would have fell for that.
>> Yeah, I absolutely would have >> cuz those are high. >> They're really high. And the and the
like actual pole itself was blocked out. Oh yeah. Yeah. I absolutely would have [ __ ]
myself. >> That's the funniest [ __ ] I've ever >> I'm obsessed with the fact that you both
reacted the same. Like that is some fatherdaughter bonding [ __ ] right there. >> It really is
>> for sure. >> It really is. >> Oh my god. All right, we're going to do one more and it's called That Time a UFO
Came to My Mom's House. >> I'm in me mom's car. >> Me mom? >> I'm in me mom's UFO. Hey weirdos, I've
typed this out in a double space size 12 font pifa for your viewing pleasure. Feel free to use my name. Oh, how do you
say this? Oh, you told me. >> Scythe. >> Scythe. >> Oh, that was so like >> that was full of unwe.
>> Oh, I like that. >> That's a really pretty name. >> That's a really cool name.
>> Sorry, it spent us like we took like 38 minutes to decide what your name was.
>> As soon as I saw this name, I said that's Irish. >> That's gone. >> That's an Irish person. Does everybody
in the world remember the first time they saw the name Siobhan? >> Yes. >> Siobhan and Sorca.
>> Oh >> yeah. Like Sorcera Ronin. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Uh Siobhan will send you into outer
space. >> I had a friend when I was working at the salon. She had her friend coming in and
she was on the schedule and I was like what is your friend's name? >> She's like is who is Seoba?
>> L I was like Siobhan. >> She was like it's Siobhan. >> I was like in what world?
>> Meanwhile I'm literally Irish world. in in the actual world in this world. >> Like, don't be dumb.
>> She's like, "Aren't you Irish?" I was like, "Yeah." Like, "Yeah, I guess." Uh,
so feel free to use my name, Syive. Uh, I hail from the beautiful northwest of Ireland where the coastline is endless.
There you go. Look at us having all the information in the just looking elsewhere for it.
>> We're just like, "What? The little villages are quaint and adorable and we have some of the best beaches in the
world. Yes, you should really visit. I want to [ __ ] bucket list >> and a rich heritage that is soaked in so
many spooky legends. >> Yeah, it is. >> Before I get into my story, I just want to say that I am without a doubt, hands
down, fudging addicted to your podcast. My twins literally react to your voices now because you are what keeps me going
through a day of preparing meals that will most likely get yeated onto the ground or on my face. But it's fine.
>> Elena can relate. >> Yep. Also, Elena, congrats on The Butcher and the Ren. I loved it so much
and it got the seal of approval for my crime novel loving 93year-old grandma. >> I think that might be the best
compliment you've ever received. Your crimeloving 93year-old Irish grandma. >> Yeah.
>> Yep. That's a win right there. You should somehow can we get that as a blurb on the next book?
>> I would really like that. >> Siv's 93year-old crimeloving Irish grandma >> app.
I honestly I'll take that. Uh, I will happy cry for a week if this is read on the pod. So, buckle up, [ __ ] because
there are some hairy as heck tales and also apologies for any spelling or grammatical errors as I have dyslexia.
Whoop whoop. You're killing it so far. Yep. I was going to apologize for the length and say to cut it short if you
want, but I know you two absolutely will not do that. >> Never. >> I'm going to kick things off with ET.
Both of these tales are my marvelous mothers, but it's all G. She hath given me permission to share them. So, here we
go. Let's tip back to 1970s Ireland. in the back ars of of [ __ ] nowhere Ireland.
>> Let's go. >> My mother is the fourth youngest of 12 kids. >> Wow. Bless your grandmother.
>> Yeah. Yes. My grandmother is one amazing woman. >> Evidently, >> that's why I want her on my book jacket.
Anyway, it was mid-occtober and while my mother's parents were out playing bingo
because what else would you be doing on a Friday night? My mother's older siblings decided to be extra cute family
fiends and give my mother and her sister some money to walk to the little shop about a mile from their house to get
biscuits and juice hardcore. It's important to note my mom was about 13 at the time and her older sister was 17 or
18 years young. Now remember we were in rural Ireland in the 70s here. Lamposts along the road did not exist and it was
October so it was dark by the time they started to make shapes to the shop. The only light they had was from a little
farmhouse they met along the way and the moon as it was a clear night, but that was it. My mother said it took them
about 15 minutes to walk to the shop and there it was closing at 7:00 p.m. They got there in the nick of time, grabbed
the [ __ ] they needed to get, and made to go back as it was getting late. They were low-key spooked because come on,
dark country road at night. Uh, [ __ ] no. See you later. Anyway, as they were walking back, they both noticed this
huge ass light up ahead, less than 500 yd from their house. It seemed to be a field, and my mom said it lit up the
entire area. It was ridiculously bright, and she described it as being like the sun.
>> Damn. >> It was much too big to be a combine harvester, and it wasn't moving. It was
just like this enormous flood light that you get at football games that just engulfed the field. Both her and her
sister were confused as heck, as this obviously wasn't there when they had walked over. My mom, being the curious
little fart she was and still is. I love a curious little fart, decided to go and
check it out. There was a little farmhouse just at the top of the field and a narrow stone pathway covered by
tall trees and hedger hedger leading up to it. My mother said her older sister insisted she just come come home, but
nope. Badass 13-year-old mama was on a mission. Her sister, my aunt, reluctantly followed after her because
the situation was beginning to get super creepy. As mom walked up the little lane, she said the light seemed to be
getting brighter and brighter to the point she was finding it hard to see. That's when she saw it. Just up ahead,
hovering slightly above the trees, was an enormous craft. Yep, that's right. It was a [ __ ] UFO.
>> Let's go. >> She described the craft as having three massive spotlights, a dome shape in the
center, and a saucer-shaped base with a ring of smaller lights around the saucer. My mom said if she had scaled
the tree, she would have been able to put her hand on the base of it. Oh, she had curious little fart.
>> Stunned and absolutely [ __ ] it. My mom said she just froze. She said she tried to move but her legs uh but they
would not budge from under her. It was as if she was in a translike state. She recalls being completely transfixed on
this monstrosity of a [ __ ] and legit could not pull her eyes off it. >> All she remembers was hearing my sister
screaming at her in a muffled tone as if she were underwater to get the [ __ ] out
of there. It was at this point my mother snapped out of her trance and turned to
look back at her sister. But before my mother had even even had a chance to look back, the humming noise intensified
and the craft shot off at the speed of light into the night sky. I think it was at this point the reality of what just
happened hit my mother and both her and her sister absolutely forest gumped it the [ __ ] out of there. Out of breath and
a couple of skid marks up later, they tried to explain to their siblings what the [ __ ] just happened. And naturally,
they thought these two must have inhaled something on the way over the road and hallucinated this [ __ ] because
absolutely no way did that happen. If it had just been my mom alone, I don't think anyone would have believed her as
she was only a soft 13. But her sister was 18 and was white as a [ __ ] ghost from the shock of it all. When my
mother's parents arrived back, they told them the entire story. My grandpa was a
police sergeant at the time and asked my mother and her sister to draw exactly what they had seen. Both of them drew
identical pictures. Naturally, there was an air of caution and suspicion surrounding their stories as it's one of
those things, isn't it? I for one believe in it all. The universe simply is too big and vast for us just to be
it. >> Agreed. >> And to be honest, I don't know what's scarier. Either we're alone or we're
not. And honestly, >> it's so much scarier that if we were alone. >> If we're alone, that's terrifying to me.
>> It wasn't until the next day when the principal of the local school came into
the police station to make a rather odd and unexplainable statement. Mom stated that it was at this point that my
father, my grandpa, or her father, my grandpa, truly believed the happenings of the previous night with his
daughters. The man stated that while he was driving home from the bingo, he felt
an almighty magnetic pull on his car. So much so that the car just completely stalled and wouldn't move, even though
he was driving at the time. He said the force was so strong that he himself struggled to get out of the car to see
what the [ __ ] was going on. He explained to my grandpa that he managed to wrangle
his way out of his seat belt enough to peep his head out the window, but just as he did, he saw he said a massive
flying object shot off into the sky. He stated that it simply couldn't have been
a helicopter as there was absolutely no sound. And the speed at which it flew off was like nothing he'd ever seen
before. >> That's so [ __ ] creepy. >> Naturally, my grandpa was perplexed as [ __ ] at this. And to this day, my mom
still can't fully explain why or what the [ __ ] ET was doing visiting her neck of the woods in rural Ireland. But yeah,
that's the story that I you have to believe that another guy came in and said he saw the same thing
>> and had no idea that two other girls saw >> didn't even know who they were. >> That's so [ __ ] creepy.
>> Little spin-off story. My boyfriend is a pilot and said he's been seeing strange
lights to the west of Ireland flying much higher than the plane for the last 2 months now.
>> What? Me being a Libra and always has to weigh up the options asked, "Could it be
a satellite?" But he said, "Absolutely no way. It moves in different directions and can sometimes appear green in color.
It's become so frequent that he said other pilots are talking about it and their second frequency, I think that's
what it's called. I'm not great on aviation lingo, but yeah, that [ __ ] fascinates me."
>> Pilot must be [ __ ] wild. >> Oh my god, I can't even imagine. >> The craziest [ __ ] Truly. Anyways, for
story two, we're going to take a trip down Paranormal Road. And yes, this also involves my mother. I swear this woman
has a six sense that might start I might start calling her Cole. The events of the movie plotline of this movie
plotline take place in the late 80s when Mama Bear was in her second year of university.
>> Uni. Mom was staying on campus with her friend in a four-bedroom dorm. Now, the
layout of this dorm is important. On each floor, there was five dorm rooms. Each dorm room had four bedrooms and
then a shared kitchen and common room. However, in order to access each floor, you had to have a specific key. Okay,
cool. Sweet. Back to the story. So, one weekend when every everyone bar my mom, her friend, and two others on their dorm
floor had gone home, my mother and her friend decided to stay in their uni dorm as they worked in the city, but more so
because they couldn't afford the bus fair that week because come on, broke us uni students. And what sounds better,
bus fair or a chance for a raging pissup? >> A raging a raging pissup. Incredible.
Anyway, on this particular evening, my mom was getting her beautiful curly red curly hair. I said red hair because if I
pictured her with red hair, uh curly hair, ready for a night on the tiles. Side note, so jealous of them being in
their 20s and getting to experience the 80s in all its glory. I agree. I feel that way about people who experience the
80s in their 20s and the '9s and like their adolescence. >> Yeah, she was sitting at the end of
their hall in their dorm room as there was a long length mirror situated there. To the left of her was the exit door
that took you to the common room and out of the complex. So, if anyone was entering or leaving their dorm room, she
would have seen them as she would have had to have scooched over to let them past. About 5 minutes into drying her
hair, my mom said she kept seeing her friend who was doing her makeup in the bathroom at the other end of the hall,
peeking her head out of the door with a confused look on her face. Confused, my mom asked, "What are you looking at?" To
which her friend replied, "I thought I saw someone walk past the door." My mom said she sort of laughed it off and
replied, "Hm, nope. I would have seen them too. Trick of the eye, maybe. They both continued getting ready and just as
mom was about to switch off the haird dryer, she said she felt a presence behind her. E.
>> She looked up into the mirror to find a girl, >> not much older than her, standing
directly behind her just smiling at her. >> Disgusting. >> She said this girl had a black bob and
was wearing a cream crew neck uh top with a purple cardigan. Stunned, mom instantly just said, "Oh, hello. Sorry.
I didn't even notice you coming. That's when she noticed. >> She's like, "Hey, sorry, [ __ ] Didn't
see you there. >> Didn't see you enter my [ __ ] house." >> Uh, she That's when she noticed it. The
girl in the mirror didn't have a lower body. She was a simply a floating [ __ ] torso.
>> I wonder if it was one of those things where the building used to be structured
differently and her pelvis down was on the next floor. >> Pelvis down. >> Ew. >> Completely frozen to the spot. My mom
tried not to scream to her friend even though she said she didn't feel panicked at all. In fact, she said she felt this
overpowering sense of calm. >> So, it must have been a good ghost. >> Yeah. My mom looked at this girl
straight in the eye while this girl just continued to smile back at her. She said
she tried to turn the haird dryer off without breaking eye contact, but had to look away for a split second to remove
the plug from the wall. And when she looked back up, almost instantly, the girl had gone.
>> What? >> Now, remember, she had been sitting on the floor right beside the exit door.
And so if this girl had entered or left the room, my mom would have literally had to have moved her entire body to let
her out. She had not budged from the floor once. Naturally, once the shock of what she had just seen set in, she
called to her friend and the both of them darted to the common room where the other two people on the floor were
sitting eating food. Both of them asked the two if they'd seen this girl leaving
the floor, as she would have had to exit the building via the common room. >> Of course, they didn't. They said they
hadn't seen a single person enter or leave the dorm and that they had been in the common room for the guts of an hour
at least, so they would have seen her. E >> my mom said it was at that point she
began to feel her breath quickening. There was a church on campus and both mom and her friend decided they would
visit the chaplain first thing the next morning and explained to the priest what
had happened and what they had both seen. Because remember, my mom's friend said she saw someone walk past the
bathroom door minutes before my mom saw the girl in the mirror. As they were explaining what she looked like, my mom
said the priest began to scrunch his eyebrows as if he was remembering something. The priest told them to wait
for a second and disappeared into a room at the back of the church. He returned a
minute or two later with a huge folder full of mass cards and began to flick through them. He stopped and pulled out
one out of the folder. My mom said her heart dropped when he turned it around and asked, "Does this lady look familiar
to you?" Shakily, my mom replied, "Oh my god, yes, that's her. That's the girl I
saw last night. I just got full chills. >> I did, too. I got a womb. There on the
mascard, wearing exactly what my mom had described was the girl in the mirror. >> Oh, that's chilling.
>> Mom said she looked so angelic and beautiful. >> Oh. >> The priest then dropped his head and
looked at the mascard. Softly, the priest uttered, "This lovely girl was a student here, but sadly passed away from
leukemia about 7 years ago." >> Oh, I just got another chill. At this point, both my mom and her friend began
to cry, mostly because of how sorry they were for her, but also because she chose
to show herself to them. The priest then came up to their dorm and blessed it. Nothing happened after that, and they
never saw her again. But mom claimed she wasn't scared because she knew that girl
uh the girl that she had seen was a kind soul, and if any was probably just looking over the place while they were
there. To this day, my mom still received various signs, such as knocks on doors when she's home alone, or
having premonitions in her dreams of things that will happen not long after she's dreamt of them. So, yeah, I think
it's safe to say Mama Bear is definitely a gifted soul who attracts the weird and
wonderful. Or who knows, maybe ET had something to do with it, >> maybe. >> But anyway, I hope you enjoyed these
tales that we can all thank my fabulous mother for. And remember to keep it weird, but not so weird that you know,
all that. >> That was such a good one. so much. >> You know, all that >> that was so good. Both of those stories
[ __ ] scary. >> Yeah, very, very scary. Guys, these were great tales. >> These were so good. Oh, the scary lady
is sitting with me. >> I love it. I love it though. >> That was freaking me out.
>> That scary lady in the picture will ruin me for life. But truly, guys, you killed
it. Truly killed it. >> Yeah. Brought to you by you for you and from you and all about you. Just I love
you guys. >> We love you. We love you so much. And in March, we'll see you on video on the
