I Think Something is in My Parents' House | True Paranormal Stories & Spooky Folklore | Ep #51

1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,960
I mean unless the ghost is on
like spectral Standard Time.

2
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,640
Welcome stranger to Madam

unexplained.

believer, or some secret third
thing.

6

Stick around after the story
where I will share my strange

7
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,880
thoughts and strange research
about said strange story.

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,360
Along the way, I'll also drag

9

rabbit holes, kicking and
screaming if needs must.

10
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,200
But before we get to this true
strange story or any sorts of

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,320
kicking or screaming, the
strangest of shout outs to my

Perfect timing.
Sounds like it's about to rain

20
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,760
Hellcats and Hell Hounds out
there, so you know what that

21
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,920
means.
Settle in for a true strange

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,320
story here with Madam
Strangeways.

23
00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:51,090
I think something is in my
parents house by Mia.

24
00:01:52,250 --> 00:01:55,490
The year I graduated high
school, my parents moved into a

25
00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:58,570
new house way out in the middle
of nowhere.

26
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,840
I wasn't there for very long
before I moved out, but before I

27
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,600
did, I always felt really weird
when I was home.

28
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,800
I had my own room, but it never
really felt like mine.

29
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,880
I'm not sure how I can explain
it.

30
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Maybe three or four months
later, I moved out into my own

31
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,200
apartment.
After my first night in the new

32
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,480
apt, I woke up to see missed
calls from my mom around 3:30.

33
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,520
AMI immediately called her as
soon as I saw it.

34
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,840
She asked me why I was home the
night before and asked if

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,360
everything was OK.
Confused, I told her I wasn't, I

36
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,320
was settling into my new place.
She said that she and my dad

37
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,880
woke up to me yelling mom down
their hallway.

38
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,360
She said I did it twice.
When I asked what it sounded

39
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,280
like, she said that it sounded
like I needed something rather

40
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,440
than panic, which is why they
weren't too worried.

41
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,400
They got up and looked around
but didn't see my car so they

42
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,040
thought I had left in a rush.
They still don't believe I

43
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,000
wasn't there and think it was a
prank.

44
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,800
Somehow that same week at their
house, the power in my room went

45
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,720
out.
They changed bulbs, messed with

46
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,920
electrical, couldn't seem to
figure it out, but they didn't

47
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,040
think too much of it since I had
my own place and no one used

48
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,560
that room besides storage.
There were a few times over the

49
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,720
next two years that I did stay
still, no power, just in my

50
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,480
room.
It became a joke and eventually

51
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,320
a normal thing.
No one seemed to really care to

52
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,000
fix it.
But then at one point I had to

53
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,040
move back home.
I was in bed sleeping that first

54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,680
night after moving back in.
I woke up to hearing the ceiling

55
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,640
fan rattling from how fast it
was going and shocked to notice

56
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,640
I was laying in bed with all of
the lights on.

57
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,080
The ceiling light, closet
lights, a lamp, the fan all on

58
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,080
after two years scared me
shitless.

59
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,720
I couldn't believe it was random
and that all of those switches

60
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,000
were all turned on.
This whole time.

61
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,120
No one else seems to believe me,
and they brush it off as a

62
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,279
coincidence, but I've never been
able to shake that weird feeling

63
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,360
the house gives me.
But nothing's happened since.

64
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,720
Mia, thank you so much for
allowing me to Share your story

65
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,240
on the show.
I hate it.

66
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,520
I don't.
I don't like any of it there.

67
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,800
I like your story, I like your
writing.

68
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,240
I like you, Mia.
I do not like whatever it is

69
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,560
that happened.
Very scary.

70
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,440
I do want to mention, before we
get too far, that Mia did leave

71
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,840
a comment that gave a little bit
more background into the story.

72
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,400
So here you go.
This is from Mia.

73
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,480
From the comments, I did
eventually look into it, it

74
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,720
being the history of the house.
Turns out the previous owner

75
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,920
died in the living room from a
heart attack.

76
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,720
Since nothing happened since and
I moved out for the final time

77
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480
about a year later, I never put
much thought into anything else.

78
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,360
I also don't have a good
relationship with my parents, so

79
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880
if anything else has happened,
I'm not sure I'd hear about it.

80
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Sometimes I just think about how
unsettling it was back then and

81
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,960
wanted to share.
Well, again, Mia, thank you for

82
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,840
sharing.
And by the way, if you're

83
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:27,560
listening and and you also don't
have a good relationship with

84
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,800
your parents, I'm sorry you're
dealing with that.

85
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,480
You deserve, you deserve great
parents.

86
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,320
You deserve the best parents.
So just keep that in mind.

87
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,720
And Mia, I hope that you get
whatever it is that you need out

88
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,560
of your relationship with your
parents eventually, one day,

89
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,320
maybe.
OK, getting into the story, I

90
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,560
cannot stress enough how scary
it would be to wake up in the

91
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,120
middle of the night, all of the
lights on every light, and the

92
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,520
fan on high acting like it's
about to take off into outer

93
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,040
space.
What?

94
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,480
I would listen.
Pants would be pooped.

95
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,080
I don't know who else to say it.
I don't know how to say it.

96
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,480
Even if that happened to me, I
would be absolutely terrifying.

97
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,520
So imagine that happening in a
room where the power doesn't

98
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,800
work.
And then, you know, here, close

99
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,800
second to the scariest thing I
know two things happened really,

100
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,480
but they're both two really
scary things Is OK hearing

101
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,240
someone's voice in your home at
3:00 in the morning.

102
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:29,680
I've said this before in
previous episodes.

103
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,520
I will continue to say it until
I am blue in the face.

104
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Something that's normal in the
daytime, happening in the middle

105
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,280
of the night.
Some of the scariest shit that

106
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,120
you could ever consider it could
have that you could ever come up

107
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,040
with scary stuff.
Door knocking, doorbell ringing

108
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,920
3:00 AM evil.
Nope, absolutely do not knock on

109
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,520
my door, ring my doorbell.
Don't.

110
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,520
Don't also, you know, call
someone calling if you're a mom,

111
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,120
someone saying mom in your home
in which they live totally

112
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,320
normal. 3:00 AM Concerning, but
normal.

113
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,840
Maybe slightly abnormal, but not
outside of the realm of

114
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,520
possibility.
But when Mia's not even there

115
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:18,320
and her mom is hearing mom not
once, but twice, Mom, fuck off,

116
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Ike.
No, no, no.

117
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,520
And of course she thought.
Of course Mia's mom.

118
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,920
Of course Mama Mia thought.
Of course Mamma Mia thought it

119
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,600
was baby Mia calling her name.
Of course.

120
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Why wouldn't you?
Why wouldn't you think that?

121
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,680
I hate it.
I hate it.

122
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,760
OK, anyway, enough about how
scary that story was to me.

123
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,400
Like we do in every episode.
We like to talk here.

124
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,800
And I say we the royal.
We the strange.

125
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,360
We the strange.
We likes to discuss not only

126
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,960
paranormal possibilities.
Pee Pee, you might say, but also

127
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,080
mundane possibilities, MP, not
as funny, not as funny, mundane

128
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,640
or skeptical possibilities.
So we're going to go through

129
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,080
both of those today and I'm kind
of like on the fence of which

130
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,160
one to start with.
You know what, I'll start.

131
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,400
I'll start with skeptical.
I'll start with skeptical first

132
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,280
and then we'll go into
paranormal because I think I

133
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,120
have more skeptical pause.
OK, I'm back.

134
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,560
Just kidding.
I have more sceptical and less

135
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,480
paranormal, so I will start with
paranormal today.

136
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,880
Paranormal thoughts, research,
strange history, strange

137
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:40,200
folklore, strange stuff TM
trademarked.

138
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:42,400
We're going to start there
paranormal.

139
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,560
So first of all, the voice being
called in the house in the

140
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:51,360
middle of the night.
OK, here's the thing, I think

141
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,960
the first thing when someone in
the year 2026, I can't believe

142
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,560
it's 2026.
I'm recording this on New Year's

143
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:04,400
Day 2026.
So that's new.

144
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,120
So in the year 2026, I think
when some if not most paranormal

145
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,600
fans hear that someone hears a
voice of a loved one that is not

146
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,560
that loved one, I think they, I
think their head goes to a

147
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:21,960
mimic, sometimes also referred
to as an Appalachian mimic.

148
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,720
Listen, I had to move a buttload
of research that I did on mimics

149
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,080
into its own document to make
its own episode because the

150
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,720
rabbit hole I was going down
with mimics, very deep, very

151
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,160
white, twisty, turny, redundant,
redundant.

152
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,440
Did you know?
Did you know when your colon has

153
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,720
a lot of like twists and turns
that is apparently more than is

154
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,360
necessary?
It's called a redundant colon.

155
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,520
Today you learned.
Today you learned.

156
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,440
That's what that's called.
Also, really quick while we're

157
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,120
talking about colons, since you
asked, this is your fault.

158
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,920
Since you asked about colons,
apparently, apparently a lot of

159
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,120
women have redundant colons.
And so it's almost like we don't

160
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,640
need a term for it.
It's almost like we based our

161
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,000
scientific knowledge on colons
on men's bodies and not women's.

162
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200
It's so weird how that happens.
That's never happened before and

163
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,840
it'll never happen again anyway.
A redundant rabbit hole, if you

164
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,120
will.
Maybe we don't.

165
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,400
You know what, maybe I retract
this.

166
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:38,800
Maybe we don't refer to strange
rabbit holes with the same

167
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,840
terminology that one refers to
the colon.

168
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,400
It is pretty funny though.
I mean, right.

169
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,120
All right.
Anyway, my point is too much

170
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,320
stuff to share about mimics
because I don't think this is a

171
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,960
mimic.
I don't even know if mimics

172
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,400
exist.
I said it.

173
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,960
I said it.
We'll talk about it on a future

174
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
episode.
I don't think this is a mimic

175
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,240
even though they're so popular
right now, but something I have

176
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,840
talked about in previous
episodes, specifically with you

177
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,280
when you hear a loved one that's
not actually in the home.

178
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,680
Here's something, this is from
Scandinavian folklore.

179
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,920
It's called a vadoga.
So it's kind of like a Deja Vu

180
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,920
meets doppelganger.
So this is from Wikipedia.

181
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,880
Stories typically include
instances that are nearly Deja

182
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,400
Vu in substance but in reverse.
Whereas spirit with the subjects

183
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,120
footsteps, voice, scent or
appearance, and overall demeanor

184
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,000
precedes them in a location or
activity, resulting in witnesses

185
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,760
believing that they have seen or
heard the actual person before

186
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,920
the person physically arrives.
It has been linked to being a

187
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,960
phantom, double or form of
bilocation.

188
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:49,240
In Finnish folklore, the concept
is actually known as an Etienne.

189
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,480
In all of these terms,
doppelganger vadoga Etienne.

190
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,600
There are umlauts or whatever
the O with the slash through

191
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,120
them is.
So wish me luck and we are going

192
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,280
to go into the Finnish version
of this.

193
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,800
But before we finish, can I, you
know how, how, how can I do

194
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,280
that?
Before we finish this section I

195
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,200
want to talk about bilocation
cuz huh.

196
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,520
I was like, hold on this.
This did not, this did not get

197
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,600
my attention the last time I
went down this little rabbit

198
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,240
hole.
Bilocation, or sometimes multi

199
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,200
location, is an alleged psychic
or miraculous ability where an

200
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,120
individual or object is located
or appears to be located in two

201
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,440
distinct places at the same
time.

202
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,160
Reports of bilocational
phenomena da da da da da have

203
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,960
been made in a wide variety of
historical and religious

204
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,720
contexts, ranging from ancient
Greek legends and Christian

205
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,360
traditions to modern occultism.
By location actually figures

206
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,600
heavily in David Lynch's film
Lost Hwy. 1997, and the

207
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,760
phenomenon The da da da da is
one of the main ideas in Stephen

208
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,920
King's fiction novel The
Outsider.

209
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,200
Mia, did you by locate in your
sleep?

210
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:09,800
Maybe you buy located, maybe by
location is like snoring.

211
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,440
We're like you don't know that
you do it until someone tells

212
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,800
you that you do it.
Although I would have to then

213
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,240
wonder, does by location have a
product you can buy that will

214
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,480
help you stop by locating like
snore strips that go on your

215
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,440
nose?
Do you have one of those to keep

216
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,920
you from by locating?
Let me know.

217
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,840
Mia, are you a by locator?
Are you asleep by locator?

218
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,080
Is that something that happens?
All right, we're going to

219
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,080
finish, we're going to finish
the paranormal section with more

220
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,920
Finnish folklore.
So in Finnish folklore, all

221
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,760
places and things, this is from
Wikipedia.

222
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,120
And also human beings have a
guardian spirit of their own.

223
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,280
One such of those is called an
Etienne.

224
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,880
I don't know how I pronounced it
a little bit ago.

225
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,720
I could go back.
I'm we're going to soldier on.

226
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,440
So, you know, progress over
perfection here.

227
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,000
So an Etienne, an image
doppelganger, or just an

228
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,280
impression that goes ahead of a
person doing things the person

229
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,280
question later does.
Which I feel like Mia would call

230
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,680
mom mom Like down the hall in
her parents home.

231
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,960
That feels like something she
would do in the future.

232
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
For example, people waiting for
someone at home might hear the

233
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,160
door close as if they're the one
waiting.

234
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Wow.
As if the one they're waiting

235
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,480
for arrived or even see their
shadow or a silhouette, only to

236
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,120
realize that they haven't
arrived yet after all.

237
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,480
When the person finally comes
home, they would repeat the

238
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,240
actions of the Etienne and that
the people waiting witnessed

239
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,200
earlier again.
Mia would totally call mom like

240
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,920
that just seems like something.
I mean Mia tell me if I'm wrong,

241
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,400
but I feel like I'm right.
In modern Finnish, the term has

242
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,640
detached from its shamanistic
origins and refers to

243
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,480
premonition, unlike
clairvoyance, divination, and

244
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,760
similar practices.
Oh, ETII set there's I didn't

245
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,800
practice that one.
That's the plural version of a

246
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:05,320
TI nin, A TI nin phenomena.
Phenomena are spontaneous and

247
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,120
can't be induced.
Quite the opposite, they may be

248
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,640
unwanted and cause anxiety like
ghosts.

249
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,120
OK, when I made my excellent
finish pun, that is the first

250
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,600
time anyone has ever made that
joke.

251
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,440
I said we were finishing the
paranormal.

252
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,760
I lied.
I meant we were finishing the

253
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:27,600
voice phenomena.
So we're moving on to

254
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,280
electricity.
The electricity, the paranormal

255
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,640
explanations for electricity,
the lights going out, staying

256
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,280
out for two years and then
mysteriously coming back on in

257
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,840
the middle of the night.
Every single switch turned on,

258
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,160
including the lamps, which I do
have a question.

259
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,720
We're going to get into it, but
just I'm going to lay, I'm going

260
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,680
to set it right here.
Why was there a lamp plugged in

261
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,280
in a room that doesn't have
electricity?

262
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,080
I do wonder.
I have questions.

263
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,480
We'll talk about it.
Did the did the ghost do it?

264
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,760
We'll find out.
We're going to talk about it

265
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,800
more So paranormal explanations
for the electricity.

266
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,600
Some paranormal researchers
think that ghosts can generate

267
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,280
electromagnetic fields of their
own.

268
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280
I think most of them assume that
they can definitely manipulate

269
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,760
them.
But I think some believe that

270
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,800
they can actually generate their
own EMF fields because it's

271
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,920
like, you know, energy is never
created, it's only transferred,

272
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,320
right?
I don't know if that's exactly

273
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,440
the phrase, but you get me.
So then that is presumably how

274
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,560
spirits are able to drain camera
batteries and interact with all

275
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480
those little nifty ghost hunting
tools like the EMF meter.

276
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,840
Now, an EMF meter stands for
electromagnetic field meter.

277
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,000
I'm pretty sure that's right.
An EMF meter measures the

278
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,240
changes of the electromagnetic
field in a given area, which if

279
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,760
ghosts are manipulating
electromagnetic waves, would

280
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,480
mean that the little lights
flash and maybe they beep.

281
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,800
I don't know.
I've never used 1.

282
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,960
So if ghosts can drain batteries
and make lights flicker on

283
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,600
little EMF meters, then they
can.

284
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Certainly, if they really want
to, if they like, concentrate,

285
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,520
if they try hard enough.
If they try hard enough,

286
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,520
obviously, I feel like it's fair
to say that they could do things

287
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,600
to lights.
In which case this does kind of

288
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,240
sound like it would be an
intelligent haunting because

289
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,200
they're kind of being a jerk,
waiting until Mia is asleep in

290
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,599
the middle of the night trying
to scare her, but then nothing

291
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,240
ever happens again.
It's like Mia moves in, the

292
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,240
lights come back on.
Not at a normal time though.

293
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:18,920
In the middle of the night.
That's not when you turn the

294
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,800
lights on, buddy.
I mean, unless the ghost is on

295
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,280
like spectral Standard Time.
It just, it feels.

296
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,560
It feels mischievous at at best
to me, though I I do wonder

297
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,040
though, why it was that bedroom
and not the living room where

298
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,320
the previous owner died.
You'd think if a room was going

299
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,640
to have electricity problems and
be scary, you'd think it would

300
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,640
be the living room.
But I don't know.

301
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,320
Maybe Mia's bedroom was like, I
don't know, it was an old lady,

302
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,600
right?
So like, maybe it's for sewing

303
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,720
room, old lady's sew right?
Or maybe maybe it was the old

304
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,160
lady's demon summoning room.
Maybe that's what she used the

305
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,080
spare bedroom for.
You know, we'll never know.

306
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,000
OK, now we move on to these
sceptical theories and sceptical

307
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,000
research for Mia's story.
So starting with the voice,

308
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,200
hearing Mia's voice in the
middle of the night when she

309
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:13,200
wasn't there, I think that it's
perfectly fair that the night

310
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,920
your daughter moves out of the
house, that you might be in the

311
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,240
sort of head space that might
make you think that something

312
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,960
you heard was your daughter
calling out for you.

313
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,520
Because when you have higher
anxiety or higher stress, you

314
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,840
are more likely to have either
exploding head syndrome, which

315
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,600
is where in when you're asleep,
you get violently woken up to

316
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,240
the sound of something huge
crashing or exploding like your

317
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,320
head, but there's nothing there.
And if you haven't experienced

318
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,720
it, you know what, how does it
feel?

319
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,840
How does it feel being the
chosen one?

320
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,680
Because it's extremely
stressful.

321
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,160
And then of course, hypnagogic
auditory hallucinations, those

322
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,000
do come up also with more
increased stress or anxiety.

323
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,840
But if Mia's parents, if both of
Mia's parents, not just her mom,

324
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,840
if they both heard it and they
both heard it twice and it

325
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,480
sounded like it was actually in
the house, I mean, I guess it

326
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,240
can't be a hypnagogic
hallucination.

327
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,960
I guess it can't be exploding
head syndrome because they both

328
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,200
heard it.
Or did they?

329
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,600
Or did they?
Because here's something I was

330
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,600
thinking about.
Maybe mom had an auditory

331
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,640
hallucination hypnogogic while
she's asleep or falling asleep

332
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,600
or waking up, which would be
hypnopompic.

333
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,000
She has some sort of auditory
hallucination hearing Mia say

334
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,400
mom twice.
And let's just say Mia's mom

335
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,360
woke up with a gasp or woke up
startled and it woke up her dad.

336
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,880
Look, I know that dads are can
be UN wakeuppable.

337
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,320
I know we're going to end this
example.

338
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,640
He did wake up.
OK, let's say it woke up or

339
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,040
dead.
He didn't hear anything mom did.

340
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,920
And we will never know what
happened.

341
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,360
But assuming Dad didn't actually
hear Mia's voice, as I've

342
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:02,920
discussed in previous episodes,
specifically I think most

343
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,560
recently the disappearing cabin
episode Memory can be altered.

344
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,200
Scarily, easily, accidentally,
not even on purpose, your memory

345
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,200
can be altered by the influence
of other people sharing their

346
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,720
memories or their experiences,
even if they're different than

347
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,840
yours.
So Elizabeth Loftus, who I

348
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,400
mentioned heavily in the
Disappearing Cabin episode, is

349
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,840
an American psychologist best
known for her studies on the

350
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,240
misinformation effect, false
memory, and her criticism of

351
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,800
recovered memory therapies,
which we love to hear again.

352
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,840
The strange we.
The strange royal royal we we

353
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,760
love to hear that because
recovered memory bunk Boo we

354
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,440
don't love it.
So from slate.com By William

355
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,680
Salatin by William Salatin That
sounds right.

356
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,160
And one experiment Loftus showed
her subjects a multi car

357
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,680
collision and asked some of them
did you see a broken headlight?

358
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,840
She asked others a leading
version of the question,

359
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,200
changing it to Did you see the
broken headlight you see instead

360
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,360
of Did you see a Did you see a
headlight?

361
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,600
Asking a normal question.
A leading question is did you

362
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,520
see the headlight, meaning there
was a headlight there, Did you

363
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,240
see it or not?
Of the six questions posed in

364
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600
this dual format, three refer to
things that weren't in the film,

365
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,680
like a broken headlight that
wasn't actually there.

366
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,480
Compared with subjects who heard
the question with an A, those

367
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,720
who heard it with the the
headlight were twice as likely

368
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,320
to say that they had seen a
bogus item that wasn't actually

369
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,960
in the video because they were
asked the question, Did you see

370
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,720
the broken headlight?
And then someone goes, oh, now

371
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,480
they're seeing it in their head
and they think that they saw it.

372
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,360
They didn't see it.
They didn't see it.

373
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,640
It's false memories.
It's so scary how quickly and

374
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,880
easily this can happen.
Oh God, I always say this like,

375
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,840
it's so scary.
It's just like, what's real?

376
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,720
How do I know what's real?
It's so stressful.

377
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,640
So you can see how easily Mia's
dad might have been influenced

378
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,160
in the thinking that he also
heard Mia's voice at 3:00 AM

379
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,960
when it could have actually just
been her mom who heard it.

380
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,040
You know, we'll never know.
So there's some thoughts on

381
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,200
hearing Mia's voice in the
middle of the night from a

382
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,120
mundane or skeptical viewpoint.
And then now we're moving on to

383
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,880
the lights coming on in the
middle of the night.

384
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,160
From a mundane or skeptical
standpoint.

385
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,960
So, you know, my first thought
was that I've never lived

386
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,440
somewhere that the Breakers are
clearly broken up into neat

387
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,400
little bedrooms.
It's always like this one wall

388
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,400
of this room and then half of
the other room are on the same

389
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,840
breaker, except for like the
kitchen.

390
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,440
The kitchen generally says
kitchen, you know, but typically

391
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,400
I've never lived somewhere where
everything is so neat like that.

392
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,000
So at first I was like, hmm, I
don't know how likely it is that

393
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,040
just one room could be affected
by some sort of like electrical

394
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,000
issue.
So I asked some electricians on

395
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,600
Reddit, but still they're
electricians, for their

396
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,880
professional expertise about how
the power might be impacted to a

397
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,440
room, 1 room in particular,
affecting no other rooms for the

398
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,360
course of two years.
Which is weird.

399
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,360
I'm going to say it's weird.
And as it turns out, according

400
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:12,080
to this small flock of
electricians, there are

401
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,440
instances where Breakers might
be confined to specific rooms,

402
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,200
like if the house is a new
build, or if the room is in

403
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,880
addition, or if it's a Daisy
chain and backstabbed something

404
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,800
something.
I don't know.

405
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,600
This is electrician lingo.
OK?

406
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,280
I don't know.
They said a lot of words that I

407
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,880
didn't follow.
The point is, it's possible that

408
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,560
Mia's bedroom was actually on
its own breaker.

409
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,040
Meaning if you go to the
electricity breaker, the

410
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,360
electrical breaker, and you look
at all the little switches, one

411
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:43,840
specific switch might control
only MIAs room.

412
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,680
It's possible, and that backs up
the theory that I was thinking

413
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,000
of pretty early on into my
theory making.

414
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:53,640
And these are just theories, so
I could very easily be wrong.

415
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,120
However, this is what I'm
thinking.

416
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,640
We know that Mia doesn't have a
good relationship with her

417
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,240
parents.
OK, And I think that it's safe

418
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,360
to assume that the problem in
that relationship isn't Mia.

419
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,200
Mia, I don't think you're the
problem.

420
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,680
I'm just going to go out on a
limb and say that Occam's razor

421
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,800
tells us that the explanation
with the fewest assumptions is

422
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,040
usually right.
So the simplest skeptical

423
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,120
explanation to me is that
someone in Mia's parents house

424
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,240
purposefully turned the breaker
off to her room, possibly as a

425
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,160
way, I don't know, to make sure
that Mia didn't move back in.

426
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,440
You know, Oh, sorry Mia, you
can't move back into your old

427
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,320
room because the power is out
there.

428
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,400
So you're definitely not going
to live here because we don't

429
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,240
have any power for you.
I don't know, I'm making

430
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,320
assumptions.
I'm trying to introduce

431
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,560
reasonable doubt as the
skeptical argument.

432
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,800
And I mean, I think it's even
possible that they turned the

433
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,040
breaker back on when Mia wasn't
there to actually use the room.

434
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,920
Use electricity in the room.
Because remember when I was

435
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,760
like, why is there a lamp
plugged into a room that doesn't

436
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,960
have power and hasn't had power
for two years?

437
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,280
If that lamp was provided by
Mia's parents and that lamp is

438
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,920
plugged in, why would it be
plugged in unless they were

439
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,680
using it when Mia wasn't around?
Now, I don't know why they would

440
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,920
decide to then flip the breaker
back on when she moved back back

441
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,560
in.
Maybe you know, they're like,

442
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,600
well, she's already here.
There's not really anything else

443
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,480
I can do.
So I guess we'll just go ahead

444
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,520
and give her the power back.
But then they didn't just give

445
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,280
her the power back normally and
go welcome back.

446
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,280
No, they do it at 3:00 in the
morning while she's asleep and

447
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,000
all the light switches are on.
I will say the light switches

448
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,880
being all in the on position.
I feel like that's not that

449
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,720
weird because when my power goes
out, I walk around flipping

450
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,360
switches like the power's on and
I walk into a room and I'm

451
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:44,360
confused why the power doesn't
come on when I flip the switch.

452
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,000
OK so that's my pet theory is
that someone was being a jerk.

453
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,280
In a nutshell, someone was being
a jerk to Mia.

454
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,240
However, those electricians I
talked to actually had a lot of

455
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,360
other electrical type thought.
They were extremely helpful.

456
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,320
They were very helpful and very
knowledgeable.

457
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Shocking for Reddit.
Shocking.

458
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,760
Come on.
Anyway, here's some other

459
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,160
theories that don't involve
someone just being a jerk.

460
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,040
These are from electricians
themselves.

461
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,840
One electrician suggested that
once Mia moved out, mice became

462
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,320
active in the walls of her room
because there was no one in

463
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,560
there banging around and making
the mice run away.

464
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,600
So the mice are in the walls of
her room.

465
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,120
They chew a wire, which they
love to do because, by the way,

466
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,920
I had to do something like
$700.00 worth of repairs on my

467
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:37,160
car because rats or squirrels,
my sworn enemy, chewed the soy

468
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,440
based coating on the wires in my
car.

469
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,880
Anyway, So then when Mia moves
back in, something jostled the

470
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,480
wall just so to restore the
connection to that now exposed

471
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,520
wire.
Apparently something.

472
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,680
Apparently something as simple
as a slammed door can even

473
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,480
temporarily fix a connection.
However, the lights stayed on

474
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,000
and they never went back off
again.

475
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,120
So I don't know how likely the
mice theory is.

476
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,080
So we're going to move on.
I think that a lot of people

477
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,920
whose lights flicker immediately
jump to it's a ghost.

478
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,840
I mean like I know two off the
top of my head who have come to

479
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,440
me and said my lights were
flickering.

480
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,640
I think it's blank.
Like my aunt who died, my such

481
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,080
and such who died.
They would rather it be a ghost

482
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,200
than have to pay an electrician.
Maybe that's what it is, wishful

483
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,800
thinking.
But that electrician even said

484
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,440
that he knows some families who
have straight up moved houses

485
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,080
because they have been so
convinced that their electrical

486
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,920
issues are actually hauntings
and not something that an

487
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,920
electrician can fix.
And if Mia's family is anything

488
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,360
like my family, I can absolutely
see them not trying very hard to

489
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:47,480
fix the electrical issue or just
not wanting to pay an

490
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,280
electrician, like I said, and
just put their head in the sand.

491
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,360
You know, la, la, la, la.
Nothing's wrong.

492
00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:53,840
There's nothing wrong with our
electricity.

493
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,600
There's nothing.
There's no ghosts in the house

494
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,400
and they just deal with it and
allow a room to have no power

495
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,280
for two years.
I could see that.

496
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:05,120
Now I mentioned door slamming
accidentally and temporarily

497
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:07,040
fixing quote UN quote electrical
issues.

498
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,920
But one electrician said I could
imagine someone bumping into or

499
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,320
yanking out a cord plugged into
the outlet that had the failed

500
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,240
connection with enough force to
wiggle the wire in the failed

501
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,520
backstabbed connection into
enough of a clean spot to allow

502
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,840
the downstream devices to work.
Now I understood some of those

503
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,040
words.
Did you all I can tell you is

504
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,800
that it sounds like what he's
saying is that it's possible.

505
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,840
But then that made me think of
the lamp that was plugged in the

506
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,120
room because there was a lamp in
addition to the overhead light

507
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,200
and and the closet light.
So let's just say, did Mia bring

508
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,760
that lamp and plug it in, kind
of forgetting that there's no

509
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,600
power in the room because why
wouldn't there be power in a

510
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:49,560
room?
Because that's weird.

511
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,840
So if a lamp was plugged in
recently or like a a phone

512
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,360
charger or something, if a phone
charger or a lamp or something

513
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,920
is plugged into the room when
she moves into it at just the

514
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:03,360
right direction or like with
just the right amount of force,

515
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,560
maybe that's what fixed it.
And finally, another electrician

516
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,120
said to check the white or
neutral wire connection in the

517
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,160
breaker box for the problem
circuit.

518
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,680
He said it could be loose, which
could cause weird behavior.

519
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,640
Not really helpful for Mia
because this was in the past.

520
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,560
But if you ever have an
electrical problem, remember,

521
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,280
check the white wire connection
in the breaker box.

522
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,200
I mean, I think at this point
I'm practically an electrician

523
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,400
after all these electrician
conversations, so you can really

524
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,800
just call me instead if you have
any electricity problems.

525
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,640
Madam Electrician ways, Madam
Electric ways.

526
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,080
So there you have it, both the
skeptical and the paranormal

527
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,960
theories on what happened in
Mia's home.

528
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,520
Do you have thoughts about what
happened in

529
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,640
miashousemadamstrangeways@gmail.com?
Send me your thoughts and

530
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,000
theories.
Or do you have a similar story

531
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,640
that you'd like to hear read on
the show?

532
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,840
Yeah, e-mail that to me, too.
Same. e-mail

533
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,280
adam.strangeways@gmail.com.
And Mia, thank you again for

534
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,080
sharing the story with me.
I appreciate you so much and I

535
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,520
am so glad that you moved out
and that you're not having to

536
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,000
deal with that anymore and that
it never happened again.

537
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,040
What a happy ending.
And if you have a true strange

538
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,520
story that you'd like to share,
that has nothing to do with

539
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,840
anything in this story, you have
your own story.

540
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,720
Maybe it's a Cryptid.
Did you see?

541
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,800
Did you see a creature that you
can't explain?

542
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,440
Maybe you bought a a haunted
item.

543
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,040
Maybe you bought a cursed item
if you bought it on eBay.

544
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,520
I mean, I do still want to hear
about it, but I don't know if

545
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,040
it's actually cursed or not.
Don't buy cursed items on eBay,

546
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,560
you guys.
Unless I'm selling it, in which

547
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,440
case definitely buy it for way
more than you would normally pay

548
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,920
for a doll or a cursed item, or
if you've had any sort of

549
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,880
unexplained phenomena, then you
need to send it to me

550
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,280
immediately.
Right now.

551
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,320
Stop what you're doing
immediately type up your story,

552
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,280
and then immediately e-mail it
to madamstrangeways@gmail.com.

553
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,000
And I can't wait to read it when
you send it to me, which will be

554
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,480
immediately.
I'm timing you ready go.

555
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,560
Remember that you can feel
afraid and not be in danger.

556
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,840
You're safe here with me,
probably.

557
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,920
