Welcome to Season 6: Ghosts, Giggles, And A Bucky’s Brisket Sandwich

Ready for a season that actually hits the road? We’re opening Season Six with a plan that’s equal parts ambitious and grounded: Waverly Hills is booked, and six more investigations are mapped across a multi-state route designed to bring you new stories, new evidence, and a few legendary locations with fresh eyes. After a year packed with real-life detours, we’re back with a tighter strategy, better pacing, and a promise to share the journey as it unfolds.

We walk through what makes Waverly Hills so compelling—the scale, the history, and the fifth floor where we captured our longest EVP to date—and how we’ll structure sessions to take advantage of long sightlines and quiet pockets. Then we widen the lens: Villisca Axe Murder House for true-crime intensity, the Squirrel Cage Jail for rotary-cell weirdness, Post-Town Elementary for documented activity and overnight experiments, plus the Gill House, the Bihl (Beal) Manor, and Loveland Castle to round out a lineup that blends famous haunts with under-the-radar gems. Each stop gives us a different acoustic profile, layout, and historical context, and we’re leaning into that variety to compare what “evidence” looks and sounds like across spaces.

Along the way, we revisit favorite moments that shaped our approach: footsteps pacing the Washoe Club hallway, pranks and sudden chills at the Stanley, and the simple truth that good energy often yields clearer EVPs. Our best captures rarely happen when we’re stiffly interrogating the room; they happen when we’re present, laughing, and paying attention. That mindset drives our road plan, our gear choices, and how we’ll share updates—expect candid check-ins, behind-the-scenes clips, and a push for more YouTube content to bring you inside the investigation.

If you love haunted history, field-tested methods, and a team that balances rigor with ridiculous laughter, you’ll fit right in. Tap play, ride shotgun on the road trip, and tell us where you want us to investigate next. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a friend who believes good energy attracts great evidence.

Season Five Kicks Off

SPEAKER_03 0:00

Between the realm of the dead and the journeys of the living, join Josh, Jamie, and Elisa as they delve into the vast world of the paranormal and breathe life back into the history of the departed.

SPEAKER_00 0:11

Hey everybody, welcome to season five of the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.

SPEAKER_03 0:18

Season five. Holy crap, we made it. I know we're at a five-year mark. Look at us being consistent-ish. Ish. Ish. Last year was ish. This year's already ish. This well, we're still in January, so technically we're okay. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 0:33

Technically we're okay. Well, I'm Josh.

SPEAKER_02 0:37

I'm Jamie, and I'm Elisa.

SPEAKER_00 0:40

And if you haven't guessed, we are really trying to get back into consistently podcasting.

SPEAKER_03 0:48

I think we said that last time too.

SPEAKER_00 0:50

We did.

SPEAKER_03 0:51

We totally did. And we totally lied.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

A little bit. We just had some stuff come up.

SPEAKER_03 0:58

Well, life. It's just, you know, you get busy.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

You get busy, you get into a car accident. You know, things happen.

SPEAKER_03 1:06

We're not getting into that.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

No.

SPEAKER_02 1:08

You guys got in one and I got in one. Oh.

Life Happens: Why We Went Quiet

SPEAKER_03 1:11

That's true. But you were in a rental car. But you I was in my friend's car. Oh, I thought it was a rental car. Well, anyways, yeah. Yeah. So Lisa did get into one, and you were in the back, and you guys got rear-ended. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 1:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:27

And I had surgery. Yep.

SPEAKER_00 1:29

And I had surgery.

SPEAKER_03 1:30

Josh had two surgeries. Alisa had a surgery.

SPEAKER_02 1:34

He just wanted to copy me. Is that what it is?

SPEAKER_00 1:36

That's exactly what it is.

SPEAKER_03 1:38

Our kid had a surgery. I mean, it yeah, yes last year was kind of a little bit of a roller coaster. It really was.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

Honestly.

SPEAKER_03 1:47

It really was.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

So it did, it did make it really hard and challenging to actually podcast consistently.

SPEAKER_03 1:53

It did. Well, or to even ghost hunt, honestly. Let's be honest. But now, new year.

SPEAKER_00 2:00

New year.

SPEAKER_03 2:01

And we got some plans.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

We do. We actually made a new year's resolution to ghost hunt 750 times this year.

SPEAKER_03 2:11

Well, now they know you're lying.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

Well, and wouldn't you know it? We're already behind. We already broke it.

SPEAKER_03 2:16

We're behind schedule. So bad.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

Well, you know, they say that uh the person's New Year's resolution ends, it usually stops on the 15th of January.

SPEAKER_03 2:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:28

So I think it's pretty effective for us in that avenue.

SPEAKER_03 2:31

Right. Right.

SPEAKER_00 2:33

But yes, we are going to um we have one trip planned out.

Big Plan: A Seven-Location Road Trip

SPEAKER_03 2:39

But it's a big one.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

It is.

SPEAKER_03 2:42

It is a big one. And it takes us out of state. So it's nothing local. Nope. Nothing within Utah.

SPEAKER_00 2:51

And all new places except for one for us.

Waverly Hills Is Booked

SPEAKER_03 2:54

Yeah. So Josh and I, one of the places him and I have done a couple times previously, but this will be Elisa's first time doing this location. And it's one off of her bucket list as well. Which I'm so freaking stoked about. Yeah. You want to tell us about it? Where it is?

SPEAKER_02 3:13

Oh, I can say? Oh, you could totally say. We're going to Waverly Hill Sanatorium.

SPEAKER_03 3:19

Yeah. So excited. It's already booked. It's already, yeah, it's booked. It's it's set. It's happening. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

It's what actually started this whole thing off.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

It did. You know, it was so funny. Josh and I were kind of sitting on the couch one day. I don't even remember how it came about. We started talking about something.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

We started talking about ghost hunting.

SPEAKER_03 3:42

Yeah. No, really. I think so. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:46

Surprise. And well, you know what?

SPEAKER_00 3:49

It was because we're watching Exploring with Josh.

The Six Additional Locations

SPEAKER_03 3:52

Yeah, but we weren't watching one on Waverly. Anyways, we we Josh got on the phone. He looked at the Waverly Hill site and checked out if there were any remaining dates. Because the thing with Waverly is they start taking bookings um right after the new year in January. So, like right January 2nd, 3rd, and so on. Um, they always go so fast. And to our surprise, there were some dates available, and we just kind of looked at each other and he's like, Well, there's one available on this day, and he's like, What do you think? And I'm like, Let's book it, and so we did.

SPEAKER_00 4:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:35

And then it just kind of grew from there. So not only are we doing Waverly Hills, um, we're doing actually what? Six more, six other locations on this trip. So that's a total of seven.

SPEAKER_00 4:49

That's a total of seven. That's the hope, anyway. That's the goal. That's the goal.

SPEAKER_03 4:54

We have it all like mapped out, but now we gotta start booking these places.

SPEAKER_00 4:58

So and some of these places, I don't know how many people people have actually heard of, because some of them I have never heard of.

SPEAKER_03 5:05

Oh, me neither. Me neither. So I mean, most people know Waverly Hill Sanatorium. Yes. Okay. But these other six, I had personally never heard of, except for one. Um, so I wouldn't be surprised if most people have never heard of them.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

Which is kind of exciting because then we're bringing you guys something new, yes, that you haven't heard about. Yep. Or um heard 500 times. That's right.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

Yeah, because I mean, I don't know how many times you guys want to hear us talk about Benson Griss Mill. I mean, not that we don't enjoy investigating it, because we really do, and it's always something always different happens. And so it's such a fun place to investigate, but I mean, there's only so many times you can talk about how many footsteps you heard in the big mill.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

Right. And how many times people will listen to it.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

Yeah exactly.

SPEAKER_03 6:01

And I totally get it. So yeah, this this is gonna be an amazing trip. So, what other locations are we doing?

SPEAKER_00 6:06

Okay, so the other one that most people know of is the Basilica Axe Murder House.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

Then we have uh the one that I think we we find all kind of find funny because the name of it is the Squirrel Cage Jail.

SPEAKER_03 6:24

It's full of squirrel ghosts.

SPEAKER_00 6:26

I I hope so.

SPEAKER_03 6:27

Wouldn't that be kind of awesome though?

SPEAKER_00 6:29

It would be awesome and a little freaky because it'd be like skittering around everywhere.

SPEAKER_02 6:33

I just really like to know how they came up with that name. I wonder, yeah, why would you call it that? I don't know. There's gotta be Especially for back in the day, like that is not a scary name, but by any stretch of the imagination.

SPEAKER_00 6:45

So it's not like Easter or intimidating, right?

SPEAKER_03 6:48

It's not intimidating at all unless it's got rabies. But so it makes you wonder, like instead of like a rat infestation, do they have like a squirrel infestation around the area or something?

SPEAKER_00 6:57

Oh, that could be. Or maybe it's shaped like a squirrel cage.

SPEAKER_03 7:01

I don't even know what what's a squirrel cage look like? Like every other cage?

SPEAKER_00 7:06

Good question. I have no idea.

SPEAKER_03 7:07

I guess we're gonna find out.

SPEAKER_00 7:09

We're gonna find out. Uh we're also looking at the gill house.

SPEAKER_03 7:14

I had never heard of the gill house. No. So until we kind of started planning this trip, and then I kind of stumbled across it, looked it up.

SPEAKER_00 7:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:25

And then we're like, hey, why don't we go there?

SPEAKER_00 7:28

Well, you know, as it goes, right? You're like, well, we're gonna be here. What's haunted around it?

SPEAKER_03 7:34

Right.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

And then you start finding these different places.

SPEAKER_03 7:38

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:40

Uh then uh there's also the Beale Manor.

SPEAKER_03 7:44

Right. I think that's how it's pronounced. It's B-I-H-L, is how it's spelt. So we've just been calling it the Beale. The Beal Manor is what we've been calling it.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

It's probably like the B is silent and it's hill.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

Oh well, we can feel stupid later about it.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

Uh then there's the post-town school.

SPEAKER_03 8:11

Yeah, that's an old elementary school from uh built in 1937.

SPEAKER_00 8:18

Which is and that place has some uh uh amazing haunted activity listed.

SPEAKER_03 8:24

Oh yeah, yeah. Well, and look at there's a couple videos out there um that the current owner uh had had put out there when he was being interviewed that I found kind of impressive, especially the one where it pants him.

SPEAKER_00 8:39

And drug him out of bed.

SPEAKER_03 8:40

Well, no, that's impressive. But the funny one was when he's like kneeling by his bed, and I can't remember why. He says he kind of sleeps like that sometimes, I think is what he said. And he has boxer shorts on, and you kind of see, you know, his back and his boxer shorts, and he's just kind of there. You see something kind of tug at the right side of his boxers, like his elbows are up on the bed. Okay, so you can tell his arms are up on the bed and in front of him, and it's just him, and you see the little tug, but then all of a sudden it's like whoop, and it just whips him down, and of course he puts a black square over his butt, but yeah, it's like it totally pants to him. Uh and the great thing about the school is we can sleep there.

SPEAKER_00 9:27

Yep. Which I'm pretty sure when we probably won't probably sleep there.

SPEAKER_03 9:33

Well, maybe we might take a nap. It just depends.

SPEAKER_00 9:35

I mean, we'll be there until we have to leave. Whether we sleep or not is to be determined.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

Yeah. But you sleep in an old classroom. So that's I'm excited for that one.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

Which I've actually slept in a classroom before.

SPEAKER_03 9:51

Have you?

SPEAKER_00 9:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:53

Have you?

SPEAKER_02 9:54

No. I've never slept, I have never ditched, I've never so well when I say I slept in a classroom, probably had to.

SPEAKER_00 10:05

It was me, yeah. It was me and two other um classes of boys. So we actually uh I grew up in rural North Dakota, and we had a really nasty blizzard come through. Oh and we were forced to stay at school because it was too dangerous to go out.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

Well, yeah. Well, we like we've had sleepovers at like our elementary school. We had like the fifth graders were able to do a big sleepover. So I mean like I've slept at this school, but in the gym, you know. Right. We slept in the classroom under a big Well when you have an entire school.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

Yeah. Well, and when I say entire school, I do mean that because it was K through twelve.

Road Trip Extras: Stoll Cemetery And Bucky’s

SPEAKER_02 10:46

Oh wow. Yeah. Holy crap. Do you know how many kids there were?

SPEAKER_00 10:50

Uh my graduating class would have been seven.

SPEAKER_02 10:56

We're like thinking some big number, right? And he's like seven. So K K through twelve is really probably like a hundred kids.

SPEAKER_00 11:05

Well, I think it was like two hundred maybe.

SPEAKER_02 11:09

If you're averaging like okay, maybe ten kids a class. Can you imagine?

SPEAKER_00 11:14

There were there were I think twelve or eighteen of us, I think. Um yeah, in my class. In your grade? In my grade.

SPEAKER_02 11:26

But actual graduates were seven.

SPEAKER_00 11:28

Yeah, because most of us moved.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

Oh, I was gonna say that's uh not a very good turnout. No, that must not be a very good school. If only seven you actually graduate graduate. We flunked everybody else. Too many snow days.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

But yeah, we we just slept underneath a parachute. It was all the boys. Uh slept in the second grade classroom, and the first and second grade girls slept in the first grade classroom, and everybody was underneath their little portion of a parachute. Nice. No pillow, no, just a hard concrete floor with a like really thin carpet on it.

SPEAKER_03 12:07

Yeah, y'all were young. It's amazing where you can sleep and be fine when you're young like that. Try it today.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Now we need a nice uh fluffy feather bed.

SPEAKER_03 12:17

Right. Tons of pillows, lots of blankets, six cats.

Cost, Scale, And Strategy For Big Sites

SPEAKER_02 12:21

Oh my gosh. Yesterday, totally like not off subject, but I we leave we sleep with our window open and we have one of those foam mattresses, like the memory foam. I literally jumped in bed, like literally jumped, and it was hard as rock. Almost like an ice cream. And then literally, like, as my because my body was really hot, right? And it like slowly like sunk in.

SPEAKER_00 12:48

It was it was a low of 17. It was cold.

SPEAKER_03 12:51

So cold. It was cold.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

Yeah, well, cold for us. Yeah, well, so it was still cold. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

Okay, so after the school.

SPEAKER_00 13:02

Yeah, so the last one is Lovelyn Castle.

SPEAKER_03 13:06

Yeah. So this place was never like lived in as like a residence.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

No, it I believe he built it for his wife.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

Yeah. Well, I haven't looked up anything on it yet. Do you know like when it was built?

SPEAKER_00 13:18

Oh, in the 19, it was like 1960, 1970, something like that. Oh, yeah, it's not. Oh no, no, no, no, no. There's here's the funny thing is is that he built an actual castle. Um, and it was supposed to be a place for I think a pressure was supposed to be a place for his wife, and then that didn't work out for I can't remember what reason. And now it's like a Boy Scout camp place, and it's big. Yeah, it's good size, it's good size, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:49

It's like a rich person's she shed. There it is.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

Pretty much, but it's an actual like castle in in Ohio.

SPEAKER_03 13:56

Yeah, it's a museum now, yeah. But I'm excited for this road trip.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

This one has been a couple years in the making.

SPEAKER_03 14:05

About three. Well, we planned on doing this way back when. Was it really that long ago? 2020. Yeah, maybe.

SPEAKER_02 14:13

Yeah, time has flown six years ago, guys.

Favorite Past Trips And Evidence

SPEAKER_00 14:16

That's right. We were going to do this in 2020, and then I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 14:20

Something happened.

SPEAKER_00 14:21

Something happened.

SPEAKER_03 14:22

You know, quarantine and all that. We don't know what that was. Well, we're not gonna talk about it, but something happened, and so and yeah, and then we were gonna do it, I think the year after, and then the year after, but prices were just ridiculous.

SPEAKER_00 14:39

And well, we were looking well, the other part too is we were looking at some major spots.

SPEAKER_03 14:45

Right. We were looking at some more well-known areas and like eastern states, yeah. And the and the problem with those places is that because they're well known and been on multiple big shows, then the charge for them to rent it is pretty high.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

Yeah. Well, and some of them are massive.

SPEAKER_03 15:06

Well, and that's very true.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

Like Waverly is a massive, massive building.

SPEAKER_03 15:11

And it was uh, you know, the price on Waverley's up there, but um if you investigated one room a night, it would take you what did they say?

SPEAKER_00 15:27

I don't remember four years to investigate the building.

SPEAKER_03 15:34

One room a night?

SPEAKER_00 15:36

There's like 12,000 rooms. This is huge.

SPEAKER_03 15:39

Are you sure? I don't know that it's that many. I know it's a lot.

SPEAKER_00 15:43

It's a lot. I mean, I could be wrong. I think I don't think that's I remember talking to a guard who said he's investigated there every year for eight years and they still have not covered the entire building.

SPEAKER_03 15:53

Well, yeah, I mean There's a lot to it. It well, and it also depends 12,000 square feet?

SPEAKER_00 16:00

Oh bigger than that. Two fifty-two, thirty-six thousand square feet. Yeah, that's huge. It's massive. Five floors. The easiest floor to investigate is is the first is the fifth floor.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, because that's the roof, and then there's a room.

SPEAKER_00 16:16

There's four rooms, five rooms upstairs. Yeah. On the fifth floor. Because it's mainly open. Yeah. That's where they had the tuberculosis. The uh Well, they let them go play up there.

SPEAKER_03 16:26

They used to have a swing set up there. Oh, yeah, that's cute. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:30

Um, they it was a critical care unit. Um, but it's also the site of our best EVP ever.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

Yeah, it sure is. So well, the longest for sure. Yeah, two sentences is definitely two sentences is pretty, I mean, I never imagined we would walk away with something like that. That was amazing.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

You know, and honestly, it's that uh EVP that really hooked us. At least hooked me.

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Yeah. Yeah. So, but yeah, so we have seven locations that we're doing. Uh Waverly's already booked. We are working on booking the other six, but that is our plan this year. That's one of our big road trips this year. Yeah, I think it's gonna be our big road trip, and then there's it will be the big road trip, but there, I think there's a handful of small um small ones that we've been to before that we kind of want to revisit. Yes, that we're looking at venturing back to.

SPEAKER_00 17:35

Because they're always I mean there's always a fun-ness, like a uh nostalgia going back to some of these places and investigating again.

SPEAKER_03 17:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:46

But also the more you do it, you find different interactions that happen.

SPEAKER_02 17:52

Yep. Well, and I liked I like getting familiar with the spirits that are there. And when they remember me, and then I can remember them. And I feel like when situations like that happen, they tend to be better at giving me evidence. Right.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:12

Because they're familiar with you a little bit. Hey, I know you.

SPEAKER_03 18:16

It's welcome back.

SPEAKER_00 18:18

It's like having ghostly friends.

SPEAKER_02 18:20

Yes. Friends on the other side. You sort of think about this. That when we die, are they gonna be like, hey, remember when you came and ghost hunted that place that I was hanging at?

SPEAKER_03 18:32

You know what? Check it out. Like, if that happens, I'm gonna be just so excited.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

I'm gonna be thrilled. Right? And then there's the ones that are be like, dude, you cast me out. What the heck? I wasn't a bad one.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

I wasn't bad. I was just honoring misunderstood.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

Remember when you ignored me for six hours?

SPEAKER_03 18:55

I was trying my hardest and you just kept asking what my name was, and I kept screaming it at you, but you just ignored me.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

How many times can I tell you my name is Bob?

SPEAKER_02 19:10

It was uh it would be so fun.

Pranks At The Stanley And Queen Mary Tales

SPEAKER_03 19:12

Yeah, that would be kind of funny. Oh man. So, yeah, I mean, I'm looking forward to this road trip and me too. And of course, we're gonna have stops along the way, kind of impromptu stops, and then we got a couple stops that we just planning to do. Yes, because we're gonna be close by, so well, and you kind of have to do that, right?

SPEAKER_00 19:31

I mean we're gonna have to find those. Yeah, that's the fun of road trips.

SPEAKER_03 19:36

Yeah, I think we're gonna well, we had talked about going to Stoll Cemetery. Yeah. So Josh and I were there a couple years ago, but Lisa's never been. Nope. So uh they uh did an on film location there uh of episode of Supernatural.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

It was the big uh scene of Michael versus uh Lucifer.

SPEAKER_03 19:58

Yep. So Yeah, so we're gonna go up there. Um we're gonna hit a Bucky's. Elisa's never been there either. Nope. So we're gonna hit a Bucky's.

SPEAKER_00 20:10

That will make the trip all the all the worth it is stopping at Bucky's.

SPEAKER_03 20:14

For Josh, it will.

SPEAKER_00 20:17

Hey, they got some of the best brisket sandwiches. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 20:20

Yeah, I'm totally getting one. They're huge. I hear like a lot of the people that go to Bucky's get one of those. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

They do.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

I think I think when we went, we got a brisket sandwich, a turkey sandwich, two burritos, uh a ban uh banana pudding. Banana pudding.

SPEAKER_03 20:41

The banana pudding was really good.

SPEAKER_00 20:43

I think we got food for three days and we tried all of it.

SPEAKER_03 20:47

I had like a bite or two of each, and then Josh would have the rest.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

I think I gained 20 pounds on that trip.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

Right? Well, this time if you're gonna eat that much, we'll just run you behind the car. There you go. For a few miles. We'll give you a GLP one shot.

SPEAKER_00 21:06

I don't think Ozimpic works that way, but we'll find out.

SPEAKER_03 21:09

Right? Yeah. So it's I think it's gonna be, I think it's gonna be a blast. I think it's gonna be a push.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

Like this is gonna be it's gonna be drain the crap out of us. Oh, yeah. We're gonna have so much fun. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

Seven investigations, ten days.

And I like I said, we have to do it while we're still able-bodied.

SPEAKER_00 21:29

Right.

SPEAKER_03 21:30

We're all in our 40s, some of us in our late 40s, and you know, you you just don't know. No.

SPEAKER_00 21:36

I mean, the last time we did something like this when we did Virginia City, and we did four and five days. Or no, sorry. Yeah, it was four and five days.

SPEAKER_03 21:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:45

Um, and those were long investigations.

SPEAKER_03 21:48

Well, two of them were long.

SPEAKER_00 21:50

Yeah, 32 hours of investigating for two of them.

SPEAKER_03 21:52

Yeah. That's a lot. That's a lot. That's a lot.

SPEAKER_00 21:56

That's a lot to be hunkered down. And it was stinking.

SPEAKER_02 21:59

Freezing cold. So now we're going from freezing cold to stinking hot. Oh, yeah. We're going to be boiling.

SPEAKER_03 22:05

Yeah, but that's okay because I'm just excited to go. Yeah. It'll be fun. I I've been waiting for a while to kind of get back out there. So this is gonna be a good one.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_03 22:16

So, and we'll do some lives along the way, I think. Um, here and there.

SPEAKER_00 22:20

Yeah, we'll definitely put out some content um on our Facebook um uh pages for the trip.

SPEAKER_03 22:29

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

And then the plan is to turn a bunch of these actual into stuff for our YouTube page.

SPEAKER_03 22:36

Yeah, videos.

SPEAKER_00 22:37

So um that stuff should be coming this year, too, is more YouTube uh content.

SPEAKER_03 22:43

Yeah, so we we definitely got some stuff to look forward to.

SPEAKER_00 22:46

We do. Um with this being our fifth season now looking back at the last four, well, really this is our fifth season of podcasting, but really our sixth-ish season of investigating.

SPEAKER_02 23:05

Yeah. Yours anyway.

SPEAKER_00 23:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:07

Well, right, just as this team.

Team Chemistry And Better EVPs

SPEAKER_00 23:09

Yeah, yeah. Um what uh what is your most memorable place that we've investigated as a group?

SPEAKER_03 23:20

More most memorable.

SPEAKER_00 23:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:22

How do you pick though? I don't know. Because we've had a lot of a lot of good times.

SPEAKER_00 23:28

We have, but it can be memorable for whatever for whatever reason.

SPEAKER_02 23:35

I think mine, I mean, I don't know. It's it's one of my top memories. And it's not because of of investigating, it was because Jamie and I were laughing so freaking hard. And like, I may have farted or something, and I may have dang near peed my pants. It was right there like one of those times that like you just have the giggles so bad and you just can't stop, and we're like literally rolling on the floor because we're gonna go back to the floor. Yeah, we were on the floor, laughing so hard. Because it's the middle of the night and it's late and you have no sleep for days. This is when we went to the Virginia City, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:23

We were in the Mackie Match and up in the hallway upstairs.

Looking Ahead And Staying Ghosty

SPEAKER_02 24:27

It seems like that to me, like the ghosts are great, right? And we've had quite a few experiences, but that to me is gold. Like, I love that, like that was so freaking fun. But I would say, like, spooky-ish was also in Virginia City when we went to um oh, what is it called? The Washo Club. And we had footsteps for like minutes long coming up and down the hallways. I'm like, holy crap, how long is this gonna go on? It was like pacing or something, like going down and then coming back, and you could tell it was going in a room and then coming back out. Crazy. And I was like mind blown. Like I literally was like, okay, you guys can like hang out here in the room. I'm going in the hall. Like, I'm gonna go watch and see if I can see something. See if it walks through me. Like it's obviously got enough energy to make noises for that amount of time. I'm gonna go see if I can actually see anything happen or if it'll like walk up to me. Because like that would have been so cool. I didn't feel anything malevolent or like terrible, you know, like but it was just to have to have evidence, audible evidence to go for that long is just it's kind of mind blowing, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 25:51

Yes, yeah, those are those are amazing.

SPEAKER_03 25:54

Yeah. Well, I think one of my more memorable was kind of like what Elisa, it was still during the Virginia trip. Um, but it wasn't an investigation at all. It's when we were going back to our Airbnb and we decided to go to the railroad tracks and duke duke's a hazard my car a little bit.

unknown 26:15

That was so fun.

SPEAKER_03 26:18

We were laughing so hard about that, too.

SPEAKER_00 26:21

15 mile an hour zone? No, let's hit it at 35.

SPEAKER_03 26:25

Going around a corner over track. Going around a corner over tracks. We caught air because we started going towards the ditch, and I'm like, what are you doing? He's like, We're not on the ground. So we couldn't stare back on the road. It was so fun.

SPEAKER_00 26:41

Oh, that was so much fun.

SPEAKER_03 26:43

Yeah, it was it was great. We we don't have that car anymore, but boy, we have some good road trips and memories with that car. We sure did.

SPEAKER_02 26:49

But now you have one that looks exactly like it.

SPEAKER_03 26:52

Almost, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:53

Almost it's chocolate brown.

SPEAKER_03 26:55

It's it's more of a chocolate cherry color than a like red cramped burgundy. Um, unfortunately, yeah, that that car got wrecked. Someone hit Josh and it totaled it.

SPEAKER_00 27:07

It was a sad day.

SPEAKER_03 27:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

So mine also it uh partially the investigation aspect of it, um, but more so just all of the fun that we had. Because it was a it was a longer trip. It was one of our handful of multi-night investigations that we've done. Um and you two just going nuts with the door handle.

SPEAKER_02 27:43

That is so true. And that is such a good one.

SPEAKER_00 27:46

Messing with everybody.

SPEAKER_03 27:49

We screwed with so many people that night.

SPEAKER_00 27:51

It was night, it was like two days straight. Oh, whatever. It was great. Because anytime we're in the room, like, wait, wait, the tell's coming. Um, and that was at the Stanley Hotel.

SPEAKER_02 28:03

Yeah, yeah, that was amazing.

SPEAKER_00 28:04

It was it was such a fun trip. It it's one I would do again.

SPEAKER_02 28:08

100%. I would totally do that again.

SPEAKER_00 28:11

The probably the last night was probably the freakiest night because we got massively high winds.

SPEAKER_02 28:16

Oh, yeah, and our room so cold. And I was right by the window, right? But our room, like I was swaying. Feel it move. Yeah, you could literally feel it sway. Yeah, we're on the top floor, we're on the fourth floor. And I was like, okay, either this glass is gonna bust all over my face, or we're just gonna like lose a wall. Yeah, we're gonna like get ripped out of our room, like the roof is gonna fly off or something.

SPEAKER_03 28:43

Yeah, because it was violent, it was so windy. Yeah, it was it was really violent.

SPEAKER_00 28:49

Yeah, that was a bit freaky.

SPEAKER_03 28:51

Um, that was a little scary.

SPEAKER_00 28:53

But I think one of the most endearing things I had was having a little ghost child ask me to walk them down the hall to their room.

SPEAKER_02 29:03

Yeah, oh yeah, I remember that.

SPEAKER_00 29:05

And so here's Josh. This big six foot-one guy walking down the hall with his hand out, talking, talking, all by himself. Well, getting shocked as I walk. Oh, yeah, that carpet was terrible, and just walking down the hall. Yeah, and then getting all the way to the end, and it's then he's gone, and it was just gone.

SPEAKER_03 29:28

Yeah, your hand was cold too.

SPEAKER_00 29:29

It was cold, and you could feel the the energy vibration on it until it wasn't there.

SPEAKER_03 29:35

Yeah, it's something that's kind of hard to describe, the feeling of it. It's something you'd have to experience to really understand.

SPEAKER_02 29:44

And it's in it sometimes it can change between feeling like a feather is like on your hand or touching your leg or something like that, or like a spider web or like a hair. Sometimes it can feel like that, and sometimes it just takes up the whole space. Yeah and it's just a soft feeling, it's weird.

SPEAKER_00 30:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:08

But yeah, I I would definitely go back to the Stanley. If nothing else to mess with people, because that was I don't remember. I think Elisa was in the bathroom and I started linking through the people and I started doing it. She came out and then she joined in on it, and we really got into it. We were just laughing so hard.

SPEAKER_00 30:22

Oh, and then we went out in the hallway and started messing with the people in the hallway.

SPEAKER_02 30:27

Oh, it was great. Jamie had a whole spiel where she was out there with the people and like she would wait until somebody would come, and I was peeping out the people the whole time. And then I would listen to her, and she'd be like, and so like when the people would come walk by the door, I would shake the door, and Jamie'd be like, No, there's that room is empty. Yeah, there's nobody in that room. And then the people would freak out even more, and then so then I would make like a scratching sound on the door or something like that. And we had some people jump into other people's arms. Well, remember when that lady she almost threw the ice bucket? Yeah. And there was a group of like teenagers where the boys literally shoved the girls out of the way and ran and ran and left them behind. And they were like, what the heck?

SPEAKER_00 31:16

Chivalry is dead, folks.

SPEAKER_03 31:18

It was great. I mean, I could have stayed there and done that for hours and hours and hours.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

Well, we totally did. I could totally done it more. You should be like, hey, look, we're gonna create revenue for you. So we're happy at any point. If the room is empty, we're happy to take the take the time to scare everybody as they come up the stairs.

SPEAKER_03 31:43

Well, yeah, and that's the great part is our room was literally at the top of a set of stairs. It was like people would come around just to look at our room.

SPEAKER_02 31:50

Oh, yeah. Yeah, because it was considered one of the haunted rooms.

SPEAKER_03 31:53

Well, right. And also, yeah, it was the habadashery. Yeah. But the fourth floor is considered the most haunted floor.

SPEAKER_00 32:00

Spirited floors.

SPEAKER_03 32:01

That's what they say. So a lot of people, even if they're not staying on that floor, they come up and walk around on that floor just uh hoping to experience something with the tours and stuff too. Right.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

So it was really great that you know we got to do that. Yeah. Cause some people would come up after the tour just to like because they'll stay at the bottom of the stairs and like point out which rooms were haunted, and they'll point to ours because you could see ours. Oh yeah. And so people would come up, they're like, Oh, we just finished a tour, because this is one of the things that we learned when Jamie was out there. Oh my gosh, it was so fun. It was hilarious. I really had a lot of I literally felt like a teenager. It was great.

SPEAKER_00 32:42

Yeah, it was amazing.

SPEAKER_02 32:43

It was so fun.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

And then we got to investigate the tunnels.

SPEAKER_03 32:45

Oh, yeah, you and Elisa investigated the tunnels and stuff, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:48

Oh, that was fun.

SPEAKER_03 32:49

Yeah. Um Queen Mary was fun too, though.

SPEAKER_00 32:55

Queen Mary was fun after all the drunks went to bed.

SPEAKER_03 32:58

Fair.

SPEAKER_00 33:00

But that's our fault.

SPEAKER_03 33:02

Well, we didn't know.

SPEAKER_00 33:04

We didn't know.

SPEAKER_03 33:04

We didn't know. And we didn't even think about it.

SPEAKER_00 33:07

Nope.

SPEAKER_03 33:08

We didn't think.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

Didn't think that the only room available on the boat was the most expensive room. Whoops. And that it was December.

SPEAKER_03 33:21

Christmas time. A lot of Christmas parties going on. And wouldn't you know the Radius people were like these cops that were having their, you know, office party.

SPEAKER_00 33:29

They're having but you know, I mean, like I get it. They work hard, so they're gonna party hard.

SPEAKER_02 33:34

Honestly, though, our tour was so freaking fun, and I felt so bad that Jamie missed out.

SPEAKER_03 33:41

I did.

SPEAKER_02 33:43

That guy was amazing.

SPEAKER_03 33:44

Stupid diabetes. Yeah, my body can only hit so many low blood sugars a day before it's just at some point, Jamie.

SPEAKER_02 33:53

We just gotta put you in one of those wheelchairs. I know. And we're just gonna push you.

SPEAKER_03 33:56

Yeah, that way if I pass out, I'm already sitting down. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:59

Actually, what we should get are you can just slap me, wake me up. You know when do you know when the little tent thing that isma sits in on Kronk's shoulders? We'll get her one of those.

SPEAKER_02 34:08

I'll carry her around. All of a sudden the leg tips over to the side because it really passes out. Well, I was just like, whoa, hold on.

SPEAKER_03 34:18

You're gonna have to up your chiropractic appointments after some. I'll break your poor back. Oh yeah. We've had some a lot actually of really memorable and good trips. Yeah. They've always been great. We I think because we're a lot of like-minded um and we're all pretty laid back, yeah. Um, things really flow nicely for us. And I think that when it comes to investigating, who you investigate with matters.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

It makes all the difference.

SPEAKER_03 34:47

So if you mesh really well together and you just, you know, I think I think you tend to be able to experience more.

SPEAKER_00 34:56

Yeah. It's the energy piece of it, right?

SPEAKER_03 34:59

It is, it is.

SPEAKER_00 35:00

Spirits want, I mean, it's just like normal people too, but like spirits want to be around positive good energy. And so if you're most spirits.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

Most spirits, right? Right. I would say like 95%. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:12

But but that's the same thing in in life, though. Like, if you're around people that are are lighthearted and have good energy, you're gonna want to hang around with them.

SPEAKER_03 35:21

You're gonna gravitate towards towards.

SPEAKER_00 35:22

But if they're a bunch of grumpy gusses, you like, yeah, peace out.

SPEAKER_03 35:26

Yeah, if they're moody, like fine one minute, well, crappy the next.

SPEAKER_02 35:30

I've honestly got the best EVPs when we're joking around and having a good time. Yep. That's what I I shouldn't even say best, but the most. Well, because it's like they want to chime in, they want to be a part. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 35:43

And I've noticed that too. Like when we're not sitting there asking the questions directly as spirits, but we're talking amongst ourselves and like joking around, yep. Things tend to come through a lot clearer.

SPEAKER_00 35:52

Especially when more often. When you let one rip in the Mackie mansion and the the lady of the house is disgusted by it.

SPEAKER_03 36:07

Oh, yeah. So this year, this year we hope to make some more good memories, not just investigating, but just like, you know, between friends and yeah. And hopefully there's just it's gonna be a great year. I'm I'm really excited for it.

SPEAKER_00 36:23

It's gonna be a fun year.

SPEAKER_03 36:24

Yeah, I think so too.

SPEAKER_00 36:26

So stay tuned for many more episodes to come and our new adventures, our season five adventures.

SPEAKER_03 36:38

Yes, come along with us.

SPEAKER_00 36:41

And as always, stay ghosty, my peeps.
