last few last four episodes actually that mama needs some ghosties yes okay mama needs some ghosties mama needs some
some lighthearted Tails but I don't think all of these are light-hearted but let's go but they're paranormal and
that's fun yeah so in this first one I mean it's called that time I channeled my inner Buffy and still got yeed from
the cemetery oh on topic because we literally just watched Buffy today go listen to the rewatcher or else do it
um so this one says Hey morbid friends my name is Jackie yes you can use my name and any other names in this story
don't even think about shortening a single part of this I never I worked hard on it haha just kidding do what you

moving on I honestly feel like I'm a mashup doppelganger of the two of you I was born in ' 85 what what that's Elena
and when all the other kids were asking what would Jesus do I was asking what would Buffy
do I'm a Gemini and former party girl who loves all things spooky now married to my best friend we are proud members
of the lgbtq plus Community busy raising our three cats and living the [ __ ] dream as much as someone can these days
you as much as someone can that part you really are a match up of the two of us truly I was also most raised by my
grandparents because my biological mother sucked at being my mom so my sister SL aunt and I are very much like
sisters even with our age difference czy so I love your banter and it reminds me
of her whenever I hear Ash talk about Papa Ma and crazy mom stuff I'm like same so thanks being for being my
imaginary best friend doppelgangers anyway here's your Pua let's go come come is a Kung come along with me gentle
viewers this story takes place in a little town located in the northern part of my home state it's a hippie artist
Town surrounded by Red Rocks it's got a very new age vibe to it and it's filled with strange energy vortexes UFOs and
other spooky [ __ ] I want to go to there I would like to also go to there well my
grandparents who I call Mom and Dad slpa spent decades dreaming of retiring to this beautiful Weir little weird town
they bought property in the '90s and officially built their dream home early 2000s at the time they bought the
property in the 90s they also got cemetery plots because well planning for the future I guess honestly that [ __ ]
just gets more expensive so you might well so good on them my dad often liked for us to visit the cemetery and take
walks I love that I love cemeteries same it was truly a beautiful and peaceful place I'm sure you weirdos get it of
course we do uh while visiting one day he stumbled upon two graves that were a little different from all the rest it
was a husband and wife buried next to one another they had beautiful bronze headstones that appeared to have long
letters written on them so of course my dad took a closer look I'm a so the husbands read during the last few months
I wanted to sit with you and thank you for all you had done for me apologize for the times I might have disappointed
you tell you I loved you and say goodbye I never found the courage to start that
conversation on the chance you can still hear me thank you I'm sorry I love you goodbye sounds sweet right it does yeah
totally I wonder what the wife says must be something really sweet too right uhoh
Morgan Freeman voice over it was in fact not sweet not sweet at all oh no the wife's headstone we will call her Norma
it reads you spent your life expressing animosity for nearly every person you encountered including your children
within hours of his death you declared your husband of 57 years unsuited to either being to being either a spouse or
a father hopefully you are now insulated from the dissatisfaction you found in human
relationships whoa when I tell you that is the biggest mic drop I have ever heard holy [ __ ] have you guys ever
listened to obituary cuz this sounds like one of the obituaries that they would write but like on a headstone guys
listen to obituary because that's that whole show that whole show like you will love that also this is such commitment
because you have to pay for like Oh by the word you have to pay by the letter yeah every part wow that must have been
a rough go at it that's a rough girly also imagine being the person that has to Chisel that into the stone and like
like I think they didn't love her yeah like damn damn and it says yeah that's some pretty heavy [ __ ] to put on a
headstone obviously that has a story of trauma in there if not generations of trauma My dad became fascinated by this
how could you not yeah I love your dad he took a picture of it made copies and snail mailed them to his friends he like
check this [ __ ] out keep in mind this was the late 90s he did this all the time with funny strange or interesting
pictures and articles honestly he was an OG meme de deer I love that and I love this this makes me think of like the
time when things were was better when it's like the time when things was better I couldn't get that out cuz I was
staring off into the trees outside the window but you were thinking about time of
yester was better I just missed the time of things when they was better said the author said the woman
who's literally paid to write books the times when things was better your literal jobs are just to speak and to
write words yes and I just said the times things honestly it's been a long day okay since I could speak but no I was
just thinking about it and I was like this guy saw something cool he took a picture of it he shared it with only his
friends he printed it out and shared it with the people that he cared about the most only yeah that was it
he didn't put it on the internet for strangers to have opinions about it's a wild thing like that was a thing that we
used to do was you only shared cool [ __ ] with cool people you know what like that
was it I think that's coming back I would love for that to come back I think it took a lot of effort so it's like if
somebody was sharing something with you you know it's cool cuz they're going through a lot of effort to share it with
you and how much they they value you how much they value you it made everybody kind of appreciate everybody a little
more we should also bring back video stores while we're at it just saying oh don't even get me started on that I know
I was talking with Sean actually from Mostly horror another show look at us plug we're not even meaning to plug the
this is really unintentional very organic it's feeling right look at us just being crunchy I was talking to Sean
about how much we loved video stores and I said my first job one of my first jobs
was at Hollywood Video it wasn't your very first job it wasn't my very first job but it was one of my first jobs and
I love so much so much and I miss that Vibe and I miss that feeling so much that sometimes it
hurts my heart it's sad I I feel a Nostalgia like I experienced video stores for like a little bit but I wish
that I could like experience them for for more cuz you probably experienced them cuz when did they go out you were
probably like a kid right yeah I was like a kid kid like you were like a teenager no I wasn't a teenager old
Netflix was a thing when I was like probably like 10 yeah but you still had to um like mail the DVD would like mail
the DVDs and [ __ ] but it's like there was something about being a teenager and going to the video store I
wish I had exp Friday night that was just just it was immaculate yeah it really was I get it I want to live in
that that era again yeah it's it's one of those things I think like everything's so dystopian that we're all
just like can we go back to that time oh we're living 1983 baby I just I missed that time or 1984 but back to the story
it says it became a thing we did when we visited the cemetery my dad would take people to go visit Norma it was such a
strange thing to see on a headstone I would too I would be taking everybody there honestly what's maybe not
surprising I always felt weird around her grave almost unwanted like she was angry and didn't want to be bothered I
mean she sounded angry I've always been super sensitive to energy some things you just know and Norma just wants to be
left alone yeah she does Flash Forward a few years I was maybe 20 years old and my friend Zach and I be are obsess with
ghost hunting shows oh hell yeah fitting for your friend named Zach oh exactly wait who's your friend Zach I had told
him about Norma in the cemetery and we had to go check it out so we packed up our snacks our printed Map Quest
directions and ghost hunting equipment which was really just a cassette tape recorder digital camera flashlights and
a no [ __ ] we set out for the cemetery in the middle of the night because it's spookier that way while navigating the
darkness and headstones I channeled my inner Buffy the godam Vampire Slayer and was ready for
anything I ain't afraid to dust a vamp if I need to but it was more likely we may come across a gra robber on drugs at
the time there was news stories about people who had been arrested for gra robbing while high on meth damn so I was
on high alert as we entered the cemetery you were Brave on like so many you were
very brave I hit record on my handheld tape recorder and we started walking along the rows heading uh reading some
of the headstones making our way over to Norma we asked questions to any spirits
that may be lingering as we got closer to Norma we came across an unmarked fresh grave with a small hole dug about
a foot wide and about 2 ft deep at the head of the Grave inside the hole was a coffee cup what's the actual [ __ ] as if
someone was trying to dig something up with a coffee mug and then just quit hell was someone here recently trying to
rob this grave now it could be that it was just unsettling to see this but suddenly it got very cold where we were
standing and Zach mentions feeling feeling cold spots at that moment while still recording I think your friend is
Zach v i uh keep that part in mind for later I will because I think you're going to reveal that it's Zack um we
then decided to keep going and made our way to Norma as we got closer that feeling started to creep in she does not
want us there I could feel it Zach sets down the tape recorder on The Headstone and began to talk he this is Zach be I
know it in the in the making too yeah he's ready he's like all like let's go let's get Norma red up let's go so he
says Norma can I ask you a few questions she said no as soon as he finished this
sentence the tape recorder stopped recording oh she really said no she said no she didn't even say no she just
saido she just closed the door literally she said I [ __ ] you not we just looked
at each other with one part amazement and one part [ __ ] our pants neither of us touched the recorder the button
didn't pop up like it was paused or stop the tape literally just stopped spinning
like the power had been sucked from it oh my God Zach started to ask another question question when it started
spinning and recording again but only for the duration of his question do you have any messages for us every single
time it would stop recording the moment we stopped talking it was almost as if she did not want to answer us or be
recorded we continued to ask a few more questions out of pure curiosity and amazement until it got so unsettling in
its consistency we decided it was time to Yeet the [ __ ] out of there we raced back to the car and continued recording
to see if it would happen again and it was perfectly fine it never stopped recording after we left her grave and it
never behaved that way again wo so on the drive home we listened to the tape to see if we had gotten anything else
weird turns out we [ __ ] did let's go remember the part where we felt cold spots at the grave with the coffee cup
dug whole dug of course I do of course I do you can hear my friend Zach ban say I'm
getting he said I'm getting some cold spots here it is I'm just I'm sure of it got I'm sure of it then you can very
distinctly hear what sounds like a disembodied voice of a woman say who is this what the [ __ ] my stomach dropped
and chills took over my body Zach rewinds the tape disembodied Voice who is this I will never forget this moment
I was driving down the interstate at 4:00 a.m. going 80 M an hour and that's when I heard a [ __ ] real life
EVP that'll change you we must have replayed that part over a dozen times that night was this a spirit from the
Disturbed grave or was it another nearby spirit next we listened to the part at Norma's
grave and sure enough all we got was the Eerie sound of the tape slowing and stopping then starting up again with
each question the Distortion in the chap tape was chaotic and I'll never forget the unease it gave me Norma's lack of
communication makes me think the EVP I had gotten earlier wasn't her I don't think so either I don't think so either
Zach and I would go on to play the tape for other people when we would retell the story and anyone who heard it agreed
whatever it was gave them chills too I do believe that it was in fact Norma that had something to do with the
recorder malfunctioning and she truly just wants to be left alone seemingly the same way she did in life my dad of
course got a real kick out of the whole thing at one point at one point I think I left the recording with him so he
could play it for others years later and I thought I had lost the recording of my
night in the cemetery until I got a box of old stuff from my mom see my dad passed away in 2013 oh I'm sorry I know
and is now buried in that very same Cemetery oh wow my mom moved a few years later and since then I have gotten
random boxes of old [ __ ] from her every so often that's funny back in 2022 I got
a box and in it was a cassette tape labeled Cemetery so naturally in this Modern Age I went to Goodwill and found
a cassette player so I can pump up some ghost jams I sat and listened cringing at the sound of my own 20-year-old voice
waiting patiently to hear my Infamous EVP then bam who is this it was just as spooky as the first time rewind tape
disembodied Voice who is this there she was my long lost EVP after all these years a ghost of a ghost but then
as I let the tape play I heard something I had never heard on the tape before something familiar it started as a low
Grumble then a throat clearing a voice mumbling a voice I knew it was my dad oh my God my whole body froze as I listened
I hadn't heard his voice in years oh turns out this part wasn't anything paranormal at all my dad had
accidentally re recorded over part of the tape years prior when I left in my tape recorder just dad things dad things
it was mostly just him cursing at the damn thing trying to figure out how to work it in that moment I laughed and it
felt like he was laughing with me little did I know that tape would record more than just an amazing EVP but it would
eventually let me hear my dad's voice again I'm going to cry wow this sounds like such a good episode of Television
that I want to watch I want to watch this does this is lovely every time I go visit my dad at the cemetery now I
always make a brief stop to say hi to Norma she still hates the company so it's probably not a good idea to go
looking for I'm Just a spooky idiot next time I'll tell you the story of how g a
ghost saved me from a possible home invasion please do keep it weird but not so weird that you end up being just a
such a shitty human that your kids memorialize it on your headstone and then that headstone becomes a ' 90s
snail mail sensation and later you become the subject of amateur Ghost Hunters documenting a trip to the
cemetery and decline Dan answer any other questions or comments also don't keep it so weird you dig holes and
Graves with a coffee mug don't keep it that weird wow and also my friend is Zach bin she did not say that but I feel
like it was s that Zach I was talking about you know him oh my God that was such a good one Jackie ja what a
Feelgood tail in the end like that was great at the end that just made my heart sore no genuinely I'm not kidding you I
want to watch that that was lovely I really liked that I loved that so much my next one is listener Tales Bigfoot is
a good friend of mine and demons possessed my roommate I love both those things let's [ __ ] go let's go dear
Ash and Elena you guys are amazing the dark humor is my literal spirit animal and I die laughing Andor cringe hardcore
in the best way with every episode I prefer that you don't use my real name you got it I will call you Laura cuz you
said to I've been wanting to tell you my listener tale for a while but it's so hard to narrow down which ones to tell
truly I don't know how often you even still do listener Tales because I'm a latecomer to morbid and it's also
changed multiple times not through no fault of our own none and I'm trying to listen from the beginning I'm about 200
episodes in I cannot tell you how much anxiety I had for you when you announced all your live shows right before the
pandemic it was like staring at an oncoming train we felt that way too I know that was like four years ago and
you guys are probably over it now no we're not never but whatever it sucked I'm so sorry oh thank you for that it
was kind of shitty but you know we're over now Prevail we prevailed said let's go virtual hell yeah and that was fun as
hell it was it still is yeah still going to do it all right let's start with why
I believe in Bigfoot and probably a bunch of other Cryptids we should be friends let's do it we are friends hell
yeah first we have to set the scene I grew up in a Tiny Town in Southeastern Utah like less than 2,000 people most of
the area is dry desert and red rocke the episode Red Rock but my hometown is set
on the hillside of a random long dormant volcano damn that's [ __ ] cool so over
7,000 F feet of mountainous elevation only 15 mil away from the canyon lands Canyon lands Canyon lands maybe the lack
of oxygen warped my developing brain or something most of the time I loved growing up there the variety of scenery
is amazing that's so cool it sounds like it one of my favorite childhood activities was exploring the thousands
of canyons carved into the barren landscape I love that sentence I know my dad would study elevation Maps I
remember him exclaiming randomly yep that's where we're going and then we would just go find an ancient in azy
Ruins that nobody else knew about and if you ask he might take you there but he will never show you on a map where they
are that's cool also theme cool dads cool dads that's the theme so far let me explain from an outsider perspective my
husband's first trip to meet my parents was before we were even technically dating let's call him Jay we had
traveled down there when our mutual friends got married which is how we met it would be a cuter story if their
marriage had been an absolute crap Fest ending in adultery with four kids who suffered immensely as a result ass [ __ ]
anyway Jay needed a place to stay for the reception and I offered to let him stay at my parents house we got there
late at night so I put him on the couch in the basement he woke up on a homemade
hodge podge of fabrics randomly sewn in Stripes over couch cushion love that we were we talking literal hot pink spandex
next to Old Jean denim next to scratchy wool hounds tooth powed nightmare my great-grandmother made the cover for the
couch after the original one fell apart and then my parents inherited it that's amazing staring down at his face was a
stuffed J was a stuffed giant bulk Bull Elk Head mounted looking sideways because one
side had a huge Rock of normal looking antlers but the other had two giant spikes what the hell there's so much
going on here I can't even picture it chaos my dad was also peering down at him asking if he wanted to go huging
with us your dad's great we didn't have our friends wedding festivities until later so he said sure fun fact there's a
saying you should always marry a girl from San Juan County because whatever you provide for her will be better than
what she had grown up sad but probably true [ __ ] this is Bleak amazing Dam my dad drove us out to the middle of the of
absolute nowhere and then pulled off the road and drove like a wild man as one does on a dirt path for another few
miles with no indication of why he randomly declared this was far enough we walked for a little bit before coming to
the cliff edge of a giant Canyon we walked along the rib for a while before my dad found the literal handholds that
the I hope I'm saying this right anastasi would have used we descended down to the next rim of the canyon and
then we walked that Rim until we found another pathway down Etc until we found ancient stone and mud dwellings that is
cool Jay's horrified to this day that we did this with no ropes or any kind of equip no I couldn't do that no way the
fact that none of my siblings fell off a cliff remains a miracle that I never appreciated until I saw it through his
eyes how did we survive the 80s number one truly so archaeologists don't all agree about what happened to the anas in
it is thought that environmental disasters combined with famine and War and disease led to them either dying off
fairly suddenly or migrating into larger peblo communities away from the region regardless many of their dwellings were
left remarkably intact they often left pots and uh greeneries and weapons and toy dolls called cachas behind I feel
like we might have talked about this on like on a spooky Lakes episode or something I think there's a Lake that's
over one of these dwellings oh I think you might be right it's starting to sound familiar to me but some of them
are more remote sites that still have the artifacts and it's creepy as [ __ ] sometimes I remember from an early age
being told that they were to be respected and left alone under no circumstances were we to take artifacts
home or damage them in any way unfortunately some people do take items and either sell them or just keep them
for their own pleasure and I hope that everyone that does steps on Lego's Barefoot every single day even after
their kids have long since become adults Rogue Legos in their house good or even
especially if they don't have kids just find rogue Legos yeah also I hope the spirits that haunt these areas are
pissed off enough to follow them to their home and curse them forever get it I love that my dad has all kinds of
stories about things following him in and out of these Canyons he talks about hearing screaming and snars and all
kinds of bat poo crazy stuff bat poo crazy I love that he will tell you that there are things living down there that
no one has seen and nobody wants to Bigfoot maybe more on that in a minute he wouldn't even tell his kids most of
the scariest stories but there is one he dubbed devil John that to this day I literally remember nothing except the
name and it scared the crap out of me as a kid I'm going to I'm going to call John that I think you should devil John
I know that fresh airs for dead people but I can't help myself my body just needs a really high dose of vitamin D
from the Sun to survive every day which is why I basically hibernate all winter and wait for the sun to come back I'm
like the opposite of a vampire another theme of the episode oh yeah I emerge Every Spring all desicated and gaunt as
a kid I would 100% go hiking by myself on the mountain early in the morning one day I was hiking down a windy bumpy road
we dubbed the whoop ddoo Road this goes back to the earlier days when we would have cookouts as a family and all six
kids would pile I knew it was going here all six kids would Pile in the back of my dad's pickup truck and he would drive
as fast as humanly possible to see if he could bounce one of us out how did we survive the 80s number two
I knew it was going there how did you know it was going there cuz that was you always were in the back of pickup trucks
you were little like very unsafely Drew has those memories I do not the air was clean and crisp the sun was just barely
peeking out over the horizon as I set out it was quiet but like Outdoors quiet like you could hear the wind in the
trees little furry creatures were scurrying about birds chirping you get the whole bu callic scene right well all
of a sudden everything just stopped I swear even the wind stopped and then out of nowhere there was a
horrific screeching screaming noise I've heard many kinds of animal noises growing up in the middle of nowhere but
this was like nothing I had ever heard before something was being slaughtered and not cleanly I don't know how long
the screaming lasted but I immediately decided to n myself right out of there as fast as I could but not fast enough
because Bigfoot or his demon mountain lion pet was following me and growling behind me what never been so terrified
in my entire life I don't know how I made it back to my car and off the mountain in one piece damn you said that
like pretty casually too yeah just like I don't know I guess Bigfoot or a demon was following me I kind of like to think
that Bigfoot does have a pet yeah I like that I like that fast forward a few years Jay and I moved to Washington
State and decided to go camping one beautiful summer we have lovingly termed this camp out the deep dark woods trip
we went down the slopes of Mount uh Rainer right R yeah Rainer Rainer and drove for a good long while until we
found a nice clearing to set up our campsite we were talking many miles into the middle of nowhere's Ville
quarantining before it was a thing about 20 ft from our camp trailer was the edge
of the forest like a good girl like a good girl a good girl scare I couldn't cut that
out I dug a hole for a latrine I think just inside the tree line between two down logs perfect Forest toilet or PFT
and then we started exploring the trees are insane in this area we only explored
about 50 ft inside the tree line until it was completely dark because of the dense tree cover and we couldn't see our
campsite anymore at all and The Vibes inside the forest just Indescribable like anything could be watching you and
you would never see it coming it feels like stepping into another planet it's like in Planet of the Apes when Charlton
hon crashes in his spaceship and assumes he's on an alien world except it isn't but whatever we walked right back out
and had our fun riding dirt bike and enjoying the scenery around Camp the rest of the day after dinner we roasted
our obligatory marshmallows and then went inside the camper to play cards until bedtime I remember Jay had to pee
and he just looked at me and was like I'm absolutely not going to your PFT no shame I wasn't going out there After
experiencing the weird Forest Vibes either soon after he got back we heard voices outside the camper it sounded
like normal human voices but remember we're in the middle of nowhere we purposely avoided any type of
civilization or camp ground and there were no flashlights or vehicles or sounds of vehicles it was just a pitch
black moonless night we turned all our lights off inside and just listened but the voices didn't say anything we could
understand I can't remember if our little kids were already asleep or if we had to hush them whoever was outside
walked past our camper and just kept going in the morning there was no sign that anyone had been there no Footprints
no signs of vehicles nothing Bigfoot and his mistress disappeared right back into
the forest from once they came I mean maybe they just passing through you know yeah you know to this day I'm convinced
that we had an encounter with Bigfoot I don't think he's scary I'm pretty certain he just wants to live his best
life without human Interruption honestly and don't we all yeah to which I say peace my man I get that yeah I'm Bigfoot
yeah people suck maybe he needs ridiculous amounts of vitamin D to live too uh these are not the only encounters
I've had with weird stuff in the woods but those stories are fairly mundane and more explainable by animals we know
exist good grief Laura Laura Laura that was cry cry Laura I think you're right I
think you encountered Bigfoot I think so and I think Bigfoot is just a guy who doesn't want to be around humans and for
that I can't blame them I can't either you know so my next one is going to be called listener tale I had to abandon my
home at 3:00 a.m. because a murdered woman wanted me to solve her death from beyond the grave and her demonic man who

upside down smiley face wait the next [ __ ] line before I start this Whopper of a story that's weird Elena has a
Whopper sitting right next to her I do today we got a potential sponsorship from Burger King and she said that makes
me want to go get a Whopper cuz I said I haven't gotten a Whopper in so long and
so she got one years and years I have never had a Whopper I'm so upset about that we need to change that I know I had
cottage cheese and fruit for lunch so which is not the same as a Whopper it's it's very very fundamentally different
but we're going to make her have a Whopper and also I just took a picture of my Whoppers so that you can po we can
post it with this episode so you can see Becca how connected we are Whoppers that
there's a Whopper sitting next to me as you said this is a whopp of a story that's crazy so it says I would like to
mention that all of the women in my family have always been extremely sensitive and intuitive when it comes to
spiritual supernatural beings dreams good feelings seeing loved past loved ones Etc we can walk into a room and
know if something bad happened there for example when I was a kid I saw my dad's
dad that passed a year before I was born I sat and had a full conversation with him and I still remember every detail to
this day wow he told me to tell my mom dad and sister that he loves them and he's okay and then said y'all be careful
up in those woods there are snakes up there my mom was flabbergasted my Dad cried it was a lot but a few days later
me my mom and my sister were up in the woods getting pine cones to make a fall wreath this was normal we've always been
crafty that's adorable when out of nowhere a copperhead snake is right in front of us acting like it's going to
strike our dog Buster rest his soul went laid down on top of this snake so we could get away from it then soon
followed behind us oh my God I love it that's a dog right there that's a dog although my sensitivity to Spirits has
always been strong it is strongest in dreams remember that for later for a little bit of back story my
great-grandparents had a 60 plus Acre Farm here in East Tennessee it was just minutes away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon
Forge long story long the deed to the farm stated that it had to stay in the family as they wanted to make sure we
were taken care of when it was passed down to my sister and I I'm not sure who did it but between my granny and great
aunt and great aunt's husband the deed was burned and the farm was sold oh that's sh then decided to take all of
the money aside from about $1,000 and go on lavish vacations that's [ __ ] what the hell however they did buy one
property with the money and that's where our Story begins I would like to add that I hold
no resentment for that anymore if it hadn't turned out this way I never would have met my best friend or my lovely
boyfriend you're a good person how things work out like that though like if one event didn't happen like so many
great things would have not happened yeah it's true that would have not happened The Man Who Sold them this land
will call him Mitch because well it rhymes with [ __ ] and that's exactly what he is SL was I don't know if he's
still alive or not but finger crossed for being warm food he was in on this with a man named
toad I'm I'm literally obsessed with that because why not Toad and Mitch toad tried to poison my granny at a cookout
once what the hell but with her having worked in a hospital for 29 years she knew something was wrong and made
herself throw up and survive that's the baddest [ __ ] behavior on the planet bad
[ __ ] Behavior side note I used to have recurring dreams about this house that I
had never seen before and I don't remember what happened in the dream but it was a very evil Place probably 10
years later I was with my dad and we drove past this exact house from my dreams I told him about the nightmares
and he was shocked he informed me that this was Toad's house not my mind anyway Mitch basically scammed them and was
able to con about $250,000 out of them for a maybe Halfacre piece of land with a barn on it
are you kidding when they realized what that was going on they threatened legal action
that was when he told my aunt that he was a warlock and practiced dark magic he told her that if they went no toad no
no toad is it I think it's Mitch who's the is it Mitch or toad who's the Warlock maybe toad I think you're right
he told her that if they went to the cops he had connections and that they would abduct little four-year-old me and
I would never see be seen again [ __ ] no it was Mitch you're right Mitch is the
Warlock anoun keep in mind Mitch lived two doors from this place naturally they chose to protect me thank God over the
lost money that's when my granny decided to convert this Old Barn into a house now a little background on this Barn it
had already been not only a barn but a garage a two-story Loft and a gunsmith shop this place only had two out of four
rooms finished downstairs sheetrock and all this may be important and I'm not sure if any of the upstairs was finished
it had a lot of work to be done but granny sank the rest of her money into making it a home she's a badass she
really is her house always creep me out but whatever I would always feel like somebody was watching me I even remember
seeing the silhouette of ghost cats which I love to be honest because I'm a crazy cat lady plus I've heard that this
is supposed to be a sign that a witch has cast a protection spell on you but don't hold me to that because I'm not
certain on that one anyway she fell into bad health so we moved into a nice little single wide trailer that we
placed on the property so my dad could take care of her as the years went by her Mobility was getting worse and she
couldn't get up and down her stairs anymore so we made the decision to trade houses with her oh the first few years
there were mostly normal with just little things happening here and there the first instance that I recall was in
the summer of 2012 me and my sister were home alone my dad was going to pick my mom up from work our main entrance was
in a tiny foyer about 6 ft from our living room you could see the 12 Light Window door from the couch where I was
sitting and my sister was a few feet away from me and a recliner we were doing our usual at the time watching the
Top 20 Countdown on cm Mt Country Music Television and sitting as close to the edge of the furniture as possible to
steal enough Wi-Fi from the neighbors to check our Facebook accounts iconic suddenly we heard a man talking outside
our front door it was loud enough to tell it was a person but we couldn't understand what he was saying I looked
out the window from my perch on the couch and there wasn't anybody there so we called our dad to see if maybe he was
home and just out of your ey shot he assured us that he and Mom were about 15 minutes away so panicked we grabbed the
dog and ran upstairs to lock ourselves in Mom and Dad's extremely creepy bedroom to wait for them thinking it was
an intruder keep in mind all the doors were locked and we left the TV remote on the coffee table all of a sudden we hear
the TV volume turn all the way up no oh I'll never for oh my God this is a nightmare to me I'll never forget it was
blaring Blake Shelton oh even worse nightmare nightmare nightmare we were terrified honestly I don't blame
you and just sat there as quiet as possible trying not to [ __ ] ourselves a few minutes go by and then the TV volume
slowly starts turning all the way down I would be like thank you I'm trying to think of a song that
Blake Shelton sings Just oh you be my horny Circle I'll be a hor just full blast because everyone
goes through a phase at least once except for you where they like for say everybody no
but yeah that's rough Mikey actually Mikey is literally like melting into a puddle of real country phase in high
school that's really upsetting it is I know I don't like to talk about it yeah it's it's a dark past that everybody you
be my summer day ew I know I'm sorry if you love country out there like love what you love like that's okay I'm not
saying you're gross I'm saying I literally hate country music but go you are allowed to love country mus golf
like love what you love I'll support you even though I just said you T she doesn't support me she supports
you but I support you guys but finally we pulled ourselves together once we found out our parents had just pulled
into the driveway we decided to go back downstairs the TV was turned completely off the remote hadn't been moved and all
of the doors were still locked we called our mom and she said she had been sitting in the truck in the driveway
while Dad took some supplies into my Granny's house she said she had been watching the front door the whole time
and at one point she had seen a dark shadow figure standing on our walkway right in front of our main door the next
instance I was home alone my sister was still shaken up by the first incident so
she went with my dad to pick up my mom on this day our kitchen was upstairs right next to Mom and Dad's creepy
bedroom and I decided to go make a sandwich he loves a sandwich yeah you know now I was still scared shitless you
know I saw brief little side note cuz I just think this is a Genius answer I saw
Ryan Gosling on I think it was the um Steven Co Bear's show yeah and he said what is your favorite
sandwich and he answered ice cream and I was like that's a Genius answer and I would have thought of that
I would have never thought that I just think that's a good answer and I just needed to say that I like that that is
your answer isn't it CU I agree ice cream turkey and cheese ice cream sandwich hell yeah but the cook cookie
witch one oh yeah yeah the two cookies like hell a chip witch chip witch that's what it is Cookie witch I was like not
exactly I want to be a cookie witch that's what want to be want to be or R yeah now I was still scared shitless but
a [ __ ] was stabing in my best Boston accent which is bad because my accent is Southern to the core I love that I love
that you did that so I grabbed our little chy named Buford I'm sorry I can we all just have
a moment for Buford the chy I love that is that a chihuahua yorkie Buford I'm obsessed with that I love Buford
literally obsessed I love and headed upstairs to make a sandwich I had him in one hand and was spreading my mustard
with the other hand ion I need to add for context that it was still summer and it was always blazing hot upstairs but
as I was standing there I suddenly felt even more uneasy right then I felt an ice cold breeze whoos past me out of my
mom and dad's room which is creepy Buford is trembling at this point and all of a sudden right in my ear was the
creepiest most demonic sounding laugh no when I tell y'all my fat ass has never ran that fast in my life I was
missing steps just gliding I ran outside and sat to wait for the rest of my family to get home after that I didn't
stay there by myself anymore I do not blame you no my feet wouldn't have touched the floor yeah I would just I
would have gone into orbit I think I would have cool-aid man out the front door don't even waste time trying to
open it just oh yeah I'm out yeah now now we get to October of that year this is when things start getting really
spicy as [ __ ] because the veil gets so much thinner that's right oh I miss it I
need October I know my sister's birthday is October 9th so it's spooky but like Diet spooky you dig anyway my former
tattoo artist Uncle gifted her very first tattoo to her for the birth anniversary of it all LOL we had just
got back it was about 11:00 at night and she was sitting outside in her Jeep still talking on the phone with her
bestie that's when she started seeing a dark figure darting back and forth around the back of her Jeep mom was
upstairs and my dad were sitting there watching TV when she comes running in the door she was convinced that we were
trying to play some silly trick on her to scare her but no we hadn't moved since we got home that night I got a
random voicemail I had no Miss calls and when I got my voicemail it didn't read off a phone number or the time in which
the voicemail was left flip phones in 2012 ick yck this voicemail was and still is the most horrifying thing I've
ever heard it was loud in the background like a roaring noise and then in the most demonic voice I've ever heard it
screeched I'll kill you oh the voem mail ended wared so it was like I'll kill you probably a little different though
but no that was demonic it like demonic light light wait let me let me try I'll kill you how's
that how is that that was just fun if you got that on your voem smell you'd be like that was fun that was just
that's just good fun that was just good fun yeah yeah to that fun that actually hurt my throat so bad
I didn't even practice that in my head or anything oh my God I'm screaming I am screaming so the voicemail ends after
that and and she said that was just good fun that was just good fun sorry that reminds me of a Parent Trap
when she's like you can call me Miss Vicky see it's just good fun so my dad listened to it and immediately went pale
he called 911 so it wasn't just good fun hello officer I'd love to report some good fun good fun although the officers
also looked horrified and pale listening to it they couldn't trace the call and basically chocked it up to a prank call
brought on by it being so close to Halloween like thank you so much for your help thank you so much I'm so glad
you're getting paid for this appreciate it around this time I had started having
horrible nightmares about this man and woman i' had never seen these two before in my life and their features never
changed they look like they were probably in their late 20s the man was probably between 510 and
sixish Brown shaggy hair kind of in a combover style looking 70s as [ __ ] we love the woman was also tallish maybe
5'9 510 is I'm 5'2 so everyone's tall than me you're taller than Alena I hear that you're taller than me anyway she
had bleach blonde hair and looked to be about 8 to 9 months pregnant in a white shirt and jeans they both gave me late
7s early 80 early 80s Vibes in my first Dream I'm walking through a wooded area when I get to this tree there's a
digital camera and a brown leather purse please remember this purse noted I pick
it up and I'm trying to turn on the camera when I hear a noise I look up and see this pregnant woman hanging from the
tree oh my God still alive screaming and fighting she was trying to get my attention to help her because she hadn't
done this herself her man had I was trying to get up the small embankment when I started sinking into the mud and
couldn't move it was like quicksand almost that's when this scary man who was her boyfriend fiance husband I don't
know ran up with some crazy eyes like he was going to get me she was still screaming and fighting when I woke up
partially numb and in a cold sweat that is hard I could feel something watching me in my room it felt like a male spirit
Diamond I was too scared to look but I managed to catch a glimpse of the clock it was 3:00 a.m. of course of course it
was the second nightmare came a few days later in my dream I walked into my living room which was technically the
basement there was no furniture or anything in this room there was a plastic draping the walls as if it was
under construction in the direct center of the room the same woman is hanging in
the middle of the room she's still alive and screaming once again for my help and
was saying again that he had done this to her at this point I'm standing at the entrance of the foyer where the 12 Light
Window door is that I mentioned earlier and I could hear him come in the door then my dream ended and I woke up once
again before I could get to save her as I woke up I felt that familiar but terrifying male entity watching me like
the first time and again looked at the clock it was 3:00 a.m. by the time I had the second dream
I was so terrified that I went and told my mom because there's no way that it's a coincidence that I've dreamed about
the murder of a woman I've never met twice now once I explained the dreams she went pale she said you need to go
talk to your granny immediately what so she went with me and when we got across the yard to my granny's my mom asked her
to tell me what she found when she got to the house for the first time after buying it she was like well there wasn't
a whole lot of anything really except for a purse a purse a leather purse a brown leather purse I went numb she
continued yeah when I walked into the basement that day the room was completely empty except for a brown
leather purse in the floor in the on the floor in the center of the room oh that's so creepy I looked in it and
found Li woman's license cards all her belongings were still in it I didn't know how to get a hold of the couple so
I threw it away my brain screamed wait granny what couple what why did you throw it away she then told me she
hadn't met them but it was a young couple maybe late 20s he had Shaggy brown hair and she was bleach blonde and
like eight or nine months pregnant when I tell y'all I went went through the five stages of grief in that moment Dave
gr himself could have walked up and slapped me across the face and I wouldn't have noticed and that's a big
deal because I'm obsessed with him I just love that like Dave [ __ ] Groll and then you're like by the way
I'm by the way I'm obsessed with and honestly great taste in humans Dave girl is supposed to be like one of the
coolest humans I've always heard that yeah around this same time a lady that my mom worked worked with approached her
one day she said she had a dream about us that was strange mom hadn't told anybody about what was going on with my
dreams but this lady told Mom that in her dream she was at our house for dinner but she said it was weird because
the living room was downstairs and that the kitchen bedrooms and bathroom were all upstairs this woman described our
house to a tea and had never even set foot on our property mom told her that's exactly how it's laid out and she was
shocked she then continued to say there was a man and woman there and she got really bad vibes from the man she
described him him as having Brown shaggy hair around 510 6 feet and had this overbearing intensity definitely 510 she
described it absolutely he did not hit 6 she described that the woman who was around 5'9 510 had bleach blonde hair
and was about 8 or 9 months pregnant y'all I started balling when my mom told me this oh my God this poor woman was
trying to get Justice from the grave and knew she could reach me in my dreams and
apparently in random co-workers dreams too I immediately went into detective mode and started researching everything
I could property records only show as far back as my granny it says she built it in 1989 my granny didn't build this
place she bought it partially redone and that wasn't until 2000 after my great-grandfather passed this whole part
is Shady to me how could it say that when she didn't even know about the property until 2000 also you want to
know what rooms were already finished when she showed up that first day the living room the foyer and the side room
beside them the same rooms that were under construction in my second dream oh that's weird that is weird to this day
aside from the upstairs those are the only finished rooms downstairs there are two more side rooms that are just
Rafters and dirt floors we didn't use those after we found an old creepy wedding dress in there shut the [ __ ] up
I promise I'm getting to the crescendo don't worry this has been riveting yeah I started researching more and more
searching property records and missing persons anything the more and more I searched the male entity started
escalating I was waking up with scratches and bruises I'm clumsy so we chocked it up to that but it got worse I
was terrified to sleep I was waking up at 3:00 a.m. every night feeling that heavy presence of Otherworldly eyes
burning into my comforter as it covered my head I would wake up feeling paralyzed I even got to a point where I
was sleeping in my sister's bed that was normal she had a big bed and she's my bestie and knocking myself out with
benad dril and making sure I went to sleep before her still 3:00 a.m. every night I would wake up and it was
escalating and it was happening very fast fast one week before Halloween I did my nightly routine pee pop renad
drill go to sleep as fast as I could at 3:00 a.m. I sat straight up in bed and had this Beyond overwhelming feeling of
sadness I was uncontrollably sobbing and I didn't know why all while simultaneously having the worst and most
excruciating stomach cramps of my life I can only describe them as what I've heard about labor pains I'm just the
cool childless aunt for now what what I was sobbing so loud I woke my sister up she knew what was going on at this point
so it terrified her she couldn't wake me up I remember her screaming for mom mom
came in there and was violently shaking me trying to get me to snap out of it this wasn't me I couldn't control myself
I looked behind her as she's yelling in my face and crying and I see it the dark
brown shadow figure is standing at the door behind her watching this all go down finally I snapped out of it and I
was shaking more than I ever had before I told my mom I couldn't live there anymore that night at 3: in the morning
my sister and I moved to our M mama and Pap house oh is it m m and Pap uh about 4 minutes away my mom and dad stayed for
another week before they followed they were asleep in bed one night when Mom suddenly snapped awake feeling like an
elephant was sitting on her chest she's a heavy sleeper so this was extra strange a little dog was right beside
her growling at something and she couldn't move what she felt paralyzed she opened her mouth to scream for Dad
and nothing would come out she said it was so cold and then she heard the same demonic man's laugh that I heard in her
door in their doorway while making my sandwich that day it finally released her and that's when they left to all of
their stuff our stuff was left we've gone in there a handful of times during the day to get important stuff but we
won't step foot on that property at night my dad lives in the trailer now as they divorced almost 5 years after this
the old house has been ransacked and it's falling apart of the seams I I've researched it on and off for years
trying to find this woman and I still can't figure it out now to the theories we've always felt like she was buried on
the property because she still haunts the place too before all this happened I remember one of my childhood best
friends claimed sister rest in peace my sweet angel oh I'm sorry I know I'm sorry saying that she saw a blonde woman
in white at the top of the stairs she's always trying to scare us so we brushed it off I wish we had taken it seriously
now as she passed away on June 1st 2015 and only 17 years old only 19 days before her 18th birthday I won't get
into all that though though or I'll cry oh I'm sorry anyway we've always wondered if he had buried her under the
concrete because the pavement next to the garage entrance was poured separately and has something written in
the corner that we can't make out oh that's creepy but I remembered something yesterday that makes me think otherwise
when I was a kid I had a recurring dream about this little girl it was always in
the foyer of the house you know the one with the 12 Light Window door in this dream she was stuck inside of the wall
and she herself wasn't scary but she would would always quietly ask me to help her what I never understood this
dream but it was scary it flooded back to my memory yesterday and I feel deeply that since I was a child while dreaming
this that this woman was coming to me in my dreams as a child to not scare me as
much oh [ __ ] now we truly I'm getting full chills I am too they're like literally staying yeah now we truly feel
like she could be in the walls of either the living room the foyer or the one side room that was finished when my
granny got there my suspicions go closer to the living room because in that second dream the walls were covered in
plastic like they were in the process of being finished maybe he hanged her she dropped her purse then he put her in the
wall and sealed it up eventually we want to tear out the sheetrock and see if we
can find her that would be terrifying but her and I both need resolution we don't have any answers yet but it all
feels like little pieces are coming together over 10 years later one day I'll figure out her name and hopefully
give her peace once and for all thank you so much for reading and I'm so sorry that this is so so long but there are so
many important details no don't apologize this was [ __ ] wild riveting I love y'all so much and I'll be so
excited if I ever hear this on the podcast shout out to my newly claimed sister Amber who has always been
obsessing over this story ever since I told her and has been researching like a mad man lol keep it weird y'all but not
so weird that take it away ash oh my God I don't even know not so weird that you
don't tear down that [ __ ] living room and sheetrock because we need to find out we need an update to this story

right this tale is one of Carnage a delicious Just Desserts and haunting spooky feelings felt to this day to
start this story has 26 different versions whoa all the information that is in this tale can be found on the pig
farm murder of 1887 by Karen field who married into the field family descendants of Lily Fields oh wow and
Clifford nutson it's important for field that the full story be known instead of
the 26 different versions field is quoted as saying we wanted to make sure people knew the story behind it it's not
just a ghost story it's not just a haunted pig farm it's a story about how a family came to rural Minnesota and how
the family experienced tragedy after tragedy a I love when you guys focus on the victim first so that's where we'll
start it's May of 1887 and lilyfield is a young 16-year-old woman who was growing up on her family farm in St Olaf
Township located uh in otter tale County Minnesota P.S you guys just recently covered a listener tale that took place
in Fergus Falls Minnesota this tale takes place just a few miles from what Fergus Falls is now sorry for the
squirrel moment just wanted to represent for my fellow Fergus Falls listeners I love that back to Lily she was the
daughter of Mrs Alex field you're reading that right Mrs Alex field just nine months before Lily's atrocious
slaying her father had committed suicide the field family was unfortunately familiar with loss before Mrs field had
lost Lily's older sister in the process of child birth on the morning of May 28th 1887 Lily was left home with her
little brother Charles while her mother into town Lily Charles and a hired farmand by the name of Nells Olsen Hong
were starting with morning chores Nells pulled Charles aside and asked him to run to the neighbor's Farm about a mile
away to drop off a shovel Charles did as he was told and got on his way with the
scoop shovel it is reported that Nells was in love with Lily and had been pursuing her for quite some time however
Lily was not in love with Nells and did not appreciate the attention he was giving her after Charles made his way to
the neighbor's house it was assumed that Nells and Lily were to finish the morning chores Lily was in the house
attending to chores while Nells was finishing up in the barn however Nells had other plans he was back on his
[ __ ] of I'm going to use modern day terms cuz in 1887 the local paper was all about patronizing women mhm
harassing Lily the local newspapers report Lily was not one to take Nell's harassment or [ __ ] let me just say as
you should Queen insert clapping clapping hands Emoji Nells was around 28 years old in 1887 and was described by
local new newspapers as a 5'7 130 lb man with somewhat stoop shoulders and dark hair so he has bad posture is what
you're saying Nells later admitted that a squabble broke out between him and Lily this squabble would lead to The
Disappearance of both Lily and Nels these disappearances were not immediately alarming to Mrs field or
Charles Nells was done with his work for the day by the time Charles and his mother had returned and Lily would
normally spend the night at a neighbor's house to spend time with a girlfriend it
wasn't until the next morning May 29th 18 87 that suspicion started Rising Nels had not shown up for work and Lily had
not returned from the neighbor's house for morning chores Charles was worried and but started attending to the farm
chores he was walking out to the pig pen to feed and was met with his sister's nude mutilated slain and partially eaten
body holy [ __ ] that's so intense that's horrifying Lily was quote unquote begrimed in dirt and found without a
single piece of clothing on her body her throat along with her principal veins and arteries severed completely this
horrendous finding was brought to the attention of Mrs field who alerted local sheriffs it wasn't until the evening of
May 29th 1887 that Nells was found in the nearby town of Wendell Minnesota attempting to flee Minneapolis uh to
Minneapolis Minnesota Nells was apprehended and taken to the Fergus Falls jail for holding Justice could
have been served by lynching if the sheriff Alonzo brandenberg hadn't shown up to stop the mob World traveled fast
in the 1880s while Nells was being held Lily was laid to rest by her family members along with community members
from the pig farm murder of 1887 by Karen field and Clifford nutson nutson noted I feel confident we know where she
is buried within a 15 by 20 foot it's straight west of Ashby Minesota and is very close to Fort Palm
deter while Lily's family was laying her to rest Nells was awaiting trial and gushing to local sheriff's reporters and
inmates about Lily and what had transpired on the morning of May 20 May 28 1887 he's gross [ __ ] you Nails this
sick [ __ ] would go into detail about what he had done and later retract statements he had previously made
eventually Nels confessed and is quoted by saying that I came in and found Lily washing I asked her for some tea but she
refused to get any I asked for her picture but she refused that request also we quarreled and Lily picked up a
butcher knife and told me to get out while moving towards me I had a jack knife in my hand from cleaning my pipe I
struck at Lily with the knife and stabed stabbed her in the front part of her throat my God she clutched her neck ran
out of the house and fell I stabbed her again carried her to the hog lot and went to the lake to wash off the blood
from my hands after this I left the farm you're a pie [ __ ] matter of a fact just
yep I stabbed her in the throat yeah she was like no I won't make you tea and no
you can't have my picture and he's like I'll just stab you in the throat then like yeah okay yeah eventually Nels had
a trial that quote unquote went quickly where he was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang remember when I said
this guy was a sick [ __ ] well as if detailing his crimes to fellow inmates was enough this [ __ ] had the audacity
to have a petition signed by community members asking for clemency oh [ __ ] you
Nells was then examined by two Physicians who found him to be of sane mind less than a year after Lily slaying
William Rush Mariam governor of Minnesota signed his death warrant and Nels was set to hang on April 13th 1888
scaffolding was quote unquote erected at the southeast corner of the jail along with a high fence that did not allow for
spectators on April 13th 1888 at 1:30 p.m. a minister entered Nel cell at 1:45 p.m. Sheriff Alonzo Brandenburg arrived
and said Nells the time has come to do my duty Nels was handcuff and read his death warrant on the way to the
scaffolding before climbing the scaffolding the sheriff said stand up like a man Nells I love it once Nells
was in play Sheriff Brandenburg looked at him and said be a man Nells and pulled The Executioner's lover what a
last thing to say I know it's wild later that day The Daily Journal reported for
the first time in the history of Ottertail County a murderer has paid the penalty of his crime damn might I just
add hell [ __ ] right he did after 11 and a half minutes Nell's pulse was not detectable damn it's a long time long
time his heart stopped after 20 minutes when Physicians pronounced him uh Nels Olsen Hong dead Nels is compared by
authors as a contemporary Jack the Ripper however I would disagree and say he's more of a distant Willy pick in
love child that's literally what I was thinking I agree the pig farm otherwise known as the ghost farm is a hot spot
for teenagers and paranormal Seekers to visit at night from my family members reports upon pulling up to the abandoned
Farm site their cars would stall you could hear squealing of pigs screams of a young woman and blood curdling screams
of a mother rising in grief it's rumored that in the late 1970s a serious Seance
quote unquote was conducted at the farm to summon lilyfield I love that it wasn't a silly goof goofy Seance it was
a ser don't come if you're looking for Laughs because this is a serious [ __ ] Seance
leave your silly goose business behind upon asking for Lily to show a sign that she was present all the wildlife Birds
insects and frogs became silent it has also been reported that a dim candle light carried by a woman has been seen
moving in the swampy area south of the demolished Farmhouse that's so chilly I love that approaching the woman carrying
the candle light results in the woman and the candle light distancing herself from the visitors good for her but
listen here if I were in Lily shoes I would run the hell away from anyone trying to approach me too absolutely I
would yep and you can be damn sure that I would scream my [ __ ] head off if teenage middle-aged Man Came onto my
farm site yeah she's probably like who the [ __ ] are you what are you going to do yeah like what and those patronizing
newspaper articles about me would be a not would be non-existent because Lily was a 16-year-old badass woman that
fought like hell to keep a 28-year-old man off of her hell yeah she was oof that was a doozy this one was for my mom
