Speaker 1:We experience fires.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, that's all we experience. Fires, droughts it's crazy because the people of fucking florida and mexico like they're drowning, literally drowning, and over here we're like uh, cold, where rain, where water? Where?
Speaker 1:we'll see it. We'll see it hopefully, but hopefully it's not too dangerous right that's another thing with california. We see a little raindrop and we're like I don't know how to drive, I don't know what to do. I don't even know how to walk. I don't know what's going to happen to my house.
Speaker 2:I don't know how to drive in dry land girl, it's a different experience.
Speaker 1:That hydroplate, what is it hydroplaning?
Speaker 2:hydroplaning yeah, according to the dmv handbook, you're supposed to slow down. I'm an expert on that shit. Now, dude, I'd be telling everybody what they're doing wrong when they're driving.
Speaker 1:I'm like, according to the dmv handbook, you can't be doing this I know, like like the other day, you didn't even notice when my dad's driving all crazy and I'm over here like holding on like a spider in the fucking back seat and you were like what's going on and then you started paying attention no girl.
Speaker 2:See, what happens with me is that I'm so used to getting into so many people's cars every fucking day, so when something like that happens, I'm like I'm not even faced by it anymore because everybody drives different, and I'm just like, well, this is just the car that I'm in today can't control that. This is true, yeah. So it's like a yeah, what am I gonna do if I panic? There's no use. But sometimes I do feel like, oh, you're too close to that truck. Like the other day my friend picked me up from the bus stop and he has like a little convertible car. This food was swerving in between buses and trucks and I was just like, honey, your car is not big enough for you to be doing that. But I didn't say anything.
Speaker 1:I can't wait to see you on the road, mariah, and join us in that hydroplaning life.
Speaker 2:Don't join us my, my best friend's daughter says that I'm gonna be a menace.
Speaker 1:She's like maria, you're gonna have a lot of road rage hell yeah, you've seen me how I get and they're like I've never seen you.
Speaker 2:Yep, just put me behind the wheel and I'll start cussing out everyone getting mad for no reason dude, I saw the story the other day where some girl was talking about how like she was like flipping off some old lady in the freeway and then when she got next to the car it was was her mom. And I'm like how do you not know what car your mom drives, bro Dumbass? I'm sorry, dumbass, I'm like things that never happen on the internet, but you know how? Last week we talked about the Menendez brothers. Today there was a news article that they might get resentenced. So they're looking into, I guess, releasing them. So yeah, they're trying to seek parole. So that's the update from last week's episode.
Speaker 1:hey, you're like, hey, we did something, I'm just kidding I know it's all because of us did you watch it?
Speaker 2:by the way, did you watch it? I'm gonna be honest with you, babe. I stopped paying for netflix because, um well, apparently paying 11.99 a month is preventing me from buying a house, so I'm trying to cut down on costs. Okay, so I haven't watched it, but I will, because you know how. I told you I was watching emily in par Paris because I had like a free trial.
Speaker 2:And girl, my free trial ended and I didn't finish it because I was. I shouldn't be saying this on the air, but I was watching it at work during lunch and I was trying not to watch it during my work hours Because obviously you know like I'm like, oh it's the stupid that like she gets to be so fucking mad. I cannot with her.
Speaker 1:I cannot with her, but I didn't finish watching it because my free trial ended the struggle all bad bro all bad when I get access, I go on and I watch it and I try to enjoy it, but right now I'm watching love is blind uk. So that's my garbage from my mind that I like to watch. Yeah, you can't see me, but I'm smiling at the mic.
Speaker 2:As I finish that sentence I'm like, yeah, all happy, I'm like you can't see me, but I'm like, I have that, like you know, that cat that I sent you the other day where the girl's like look at, look at her, she's happy and like the face the cat had, like bitch, that's me, I know um but anyway, babe welcome to the month of october. I feel like I come alive in october you're a witch and that I am.
Speaker 2:I just told that to my brother again. Yeah, I know, I was talking to my brother and he's like where are you going? And I was like why does everybody assume I'm going somewhere? I just want to look nice for work, which I never fucking do, by the way. But the other day some girl was like oh, you look nice today. And I was like just today and like with a straight face, she said yeah, just today. So I've been dressing up every day of the week because I'm like you stupid dumb bitch, you're not gonna make me feel like shit. So I told my brother well, I'm a witch. You know, in october we look nice. And he's like you scare me sometimes.
Speaker 1:I'm like, good, you should be like not me doing that to my brother when we're watching the menendez show and I'm like I'm getting ideas on how to kill you and get away with it. This is very incriminating, you know I was like ma'am are you sure?
Speaker 1:you want to be sane no, no, in second thought, no, but, um, it was a joke. You guys, I'm sorry, but that's what I told him. And with the face, and then he's like you scared me and I'm like, yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, well, you know, yeah, there's still fear and those that have put fear in us dude.
Speaker 2:I had a friend when I was going to UEI for medical billing and coding. She was going well, she was in my class but her boyfriend was in dental school and one day we were learning about the I guess we have like a vein on the side of our arm that if that vein gets cut, like that's it, you're dead because there's no way to stop it. And so she saw her boyfriend talking to some girl from his class and when we know we went on break all together. She was like babe, guess what I learned today? And then he's like what's up, babe? Like what do you learn? Because they were a little like you know, and she's like I learned how to kill you and make it look like an accident. And she said it with like the smiliest face and her boyfriend just looked at me and I was like you know what? This is true, we did learn that. And then she was like so if I see you talking to that bitch again, you already know I was like well, I'm just saying I watched a lot of snaps.
Speaker 1:But it was, you know, to instill fear in my ex. But it was, you know, to instill fear in my ex.
Speaker 2:You can't see my face right now.
Speaker 1:I'm like damn, this episode is getting wild. I look like I had an evil ass. Laugh, Dude.
Speaker 2:For no damn reason. I love how people think that I'm the crazy one, like if anything is proven in here.
Speaker 1:No, I yeah, I know right, leslie can be crazy, but if you don't like to see her come out, don't, don't make her come out. You don't want to see that but what's the movie um the emotions? What is it inside out?
Speaker 2:I know I was saying those flus are all inside us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that one, the angry guy, is there, can't wait to press the button, so I keep him at bay.
Speaker 2:You're like don't try me, Don't try that guy.
Speaker 1:That one is the worst one, always trying to press that button.
Speaker 2:Oh man. But anyway, babe, what are we talking about today, today?
Speaker 1:we're talking about our personal paranormal experiences, but they're not necessarily ghost stories, but I mean, they're things that happen to us or to people that we know, and I don't know how you would explain that. So I would just say um paranormal or, I guess, medium experiences fitting for this month, right?
Speaker 2:mm-hmm. Yeah, do you have any experiences, any occurrences? Oh, you said you were going to talk about the one at the Queen Mary mm-hmm so um, that's one of the ones that, like I felt I haven't seen, I haven't.
Speaker 1:I mean, I guess I can say I've heard, I just don't hear it, like where I can debunk it like, say that's not what I heard, but I've heard noises um, I felt like on my skin like a grab, not like, oh, I felt the chills or I felt you know some type of way. No, I literally felt something sorry. So, um, I was at the queen mary, we were, uh, doing the winter festival thing. Basically it's the opposite of horror, or haunted. What is it? Haunted harbor?
Speaker 2:the the dark.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's like more festive, like very Christmassy. They have lights, they have ice slides, they have an ice skating rink and a bunch of photo ops, right. But you can also go on the boat, and I've never been on the boat, so I was like, let's check it out. And it was like myself and probably like six more people with us in our friend group and we had split up, so four went towards the front of the boat.
Speaker 1:Um, myself and two others, we went towards the back of the boat and we were just walking on the deck and, uh, we were just exploring. We went through this little narrow pathway to get to the other side of the boat but, um, just so we can go through the captain's quarters, and we were walking together in a line and as we're passing the captain's quarters, all of us at the same time did a and we just took a deep breath and as we're doing that, like, as we're like exhaling, we're looking at each other, like the hell, like how are we, all of us doing that at the same time? And we were just like laughing and we're like what the hell? What was that? And then we all felt out of breath. Mind you, this is a level deck. It's not like I'm climbing a hill, but we all took a breath.
Speaker 1:Okay, that was weird, didn't read into it. We're like, okay, let's go find the rest of the people. So now we're walking towards the front of the boat and we're still like kind of laughing. For me, I was very hesitant to go to the front of the boat. Can't even explain to you to this day why I didn't want to go to the front of the boat. Just something was telling me don't go to the front of the boat and literally always where the pool is okay, so I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so oh okay mind you, I'm on the, yeah, mind you, I'm on the deck. So, like on the on the top right, the more exposed area of the boat, um, so we're walking towards the front and I, just as much as I wanted to go further, I just no, I was scared. So, um, but obviously, like my friends were there, so I was like, okay, let's go. But I didn't want to push it further. I kept telling them let's, let's go, let's go, um, where we end up going to the lower level so that we can exit the boat through the door right, uh, where we exit, and it takes you on the elevator to get out. Um, so, as we're going down to that level where you supposed to exit the boat, I'm literally walking towards the elevator. Like I see the elevator I haven't stepped off the boat yet and my peripherals, to my left, I see like clarity, like I can still see like movement, I can still see people, I see what's going on to my left, on my right, which is the front of the boat, again pitch black. That was the only difference. It was just black on my peripherals. Okay, so just picture that for you guys.
Speaker 1:Um, and I'm to me that's funny because I was like what, and I literally turned my head to look to the back, to the back, and I can see all the way down. I turn to my right so I can see the what's dark and it's just dark like I can't even see past, like I don't know. Five feet in front of me and I laughed. As I'm laughing, I take a step out of the boat the foot that's still in the boat I feel someone grab it and tug it. Oh okay, like pull me in and I'm like I laughed. I laughed because it's like there's no way. No one was behind me, no one was around me when I was exiting the boat. My friends were already at the elevator. I was the last one to exit the boat, so for me it was like it was fun, it was funny, but it was like the craziest experience for me because I literally felt two hands on my calf pull me, which is crazy.
Speaker 2:You should see my face right now.
Speaker 1:I'm like, I'm like holding on to myself, but that's the only time I've experienced anything on that boat. So at my brother's wedding I didn't experience anything. I even got lost during the rehearsal of the wedding. In those corridors, me and my cousin got lost Not you, of course, but my other cousin.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And if for those that have been on the boat, but for those of you who don't, in the elevator, the it's not numbers, it's letters. So they told us that we were going to be on level M for the reception. So we pressed M like there's no hit or miss on that one Press them. We ended on level b and the m was lit up. Um, as the elevator opens, we step out because we think it's m and it's just no one, empty corridors. It feels like very weird, but we hear the voices of, like the rest of our group or our family. So we're like we can't be wrong. We get back in the elevator and we looked that we pressed M, we pressed M but it took us to that. So we just got back in, pressed it again and it took us to the correct level, even though we could have taken the stairs. But we were just laughing about it. We're like um, that was weird, but it wasn't like anything strange.
Speaker 2:That happened to us too, with my mom, and I like I'm not getting back in that elevator, I'm just taking the stairs right.
Speaker 1:I made my mom take the stairs, because the stairs are literally right there and they're. It's not like steep stairs where it's like fuck, like I have to climb this other level no, they're like pretty close by so it was just weird. So we just to us, we just laughed about it. We're like maybe it's the elevator glitch it's the whole fucking boat glitch but really quick.
Speaker 1:So this is not my experience. Um, this was someone else. So during the wedding, um, obviously, the the bride and groom they stayed at the, at the boat, at the queen mary, um, they stayed that night, but, um, also some of the immediate family members I was not one of the chosen, but, um, my sister-in-law, I know, um, my sister-in-law's aunt stayed in a room with her cousin. So basically, um, her aunt and her, um, her cousin, were in one room and their room was closest to the stairs. Again, if you haven't been in there, um, it's probably like the first room that starts going along the corridor, um, after that there's a big gap in the middle that starts going along the corridor. After that there's a big gap in the middle, which is where the stairs are, and then on the other side is the other hallway. So across from their room was a door, but it was like a mock door, a door that leads to nothing. But they didn't know that. So they didn't know that the door across from them was a mock room.
Speaker 1:But at night, like around 9 pm, they said that they heard a conversation outside of the hallway. They were in the room but they could just hear a conversation escalate in the hallway outside their door and they said it was a man and a woman and that it seemed like they were a couple and they were fighting. And the conversation escalated to the point where they thought the man was going to harm the woman. So they felt like maybe we should intervene because this guy's about to do something to her. Like they were into the tea, like they were already, like this conversation is getting deep, so they opened the door and there was no one no one, and I'm telling you that these hallways are long, so there's no way to walk away, haven't?
Speaker 2:no, you can't like, if you, if, if you guys are not from california or if you've never been to the queen mary. These hallways are scary, like put it it. They look like, when you know, when you have two mirrors and you could see, like the reflection of the mirror on the other mirror and it just looks like a never ending hallway. That's how the Queen Mary's hallways look, and it's like you feel like you're never going to get to your destination. Like when we were walking out that day of the wedding, I was like when are we getting out of here? Because, like it was scary just to walk there and there's also a lot of history behind um, the queen mary and everything that's happened there.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, carry on, sorry, no, yeah, yeah, those hallways are ridiculously long, they feel never ending and I think you described it perfectly about the mirrors, um, and even when you turn to the opposite side, like I said, there's a gap where the stairs are and like once you pass that gap, you get to the other hallway, which would be the front of the boat, and it just looks like when you're on the gap. If you look to your left or look to your right, it just feels like a long ass hallway. So if someone were to walk or be away, you would see them. There's no like in between or passageway to hide, like the doors are right there. You would see the people and there's like the way that they described it is that they opened the door immediately, so you would hear them open the door if they went into a room.
Speaker 1:So yeah they were like maybe they're in the room that's across from us, but they stopped like they never heard any fighting after that. It was just that was it. And they found out later that that room is not even a room, it's just a door that has nothing in it. It's not even a closet, it's nothing, it's just a fake door, because this it literally. If you were to open it, it's the stairs.
Speaker 2:That's what that is no, thank you, that is scary. So, okay, that was I for sure. Yeah, I for sure thought that we were gonna see some, or I was gonna see something when we were there, um, but thankfully, what, just what? I told you that, like when we got off the elevator with my mom, um, because really there was no signs like party this way type of thing. So you were just trying to find where to go and you told me about the elevator, I think, and I was like, okay, well, I'm gonna follow instructions. And I did the same thing that you're describing and we got to a place where me and my mom were like, where are we? And I was like, yeah, let's just take the stairs, because I don't want to get stuck in an elevator in an old ass boat that is fully fucking haunted and it's crazy, right, because, like where we were at when we were trying to locate you guys, there was a lot of people on that level.
Speaker 1:But once you end up in a weird hallway where there's no one, you're like there's no way I I know there's people here because there is we. We even try to get a room right and it was booked so you know that all the rooms are occupied. So that that was a crazy. That was the crazy part about them. So, real quick. So we finished on the Queen Mary. Unless you have another story about the Queen Mary, I have one more. I have a friend that he went to the Queen Mary to celebrate his wedding anniversary with his wife. His wife is all about the spookiness.
Speaker 1:And they went literally last month in the weekend of the 14th.
Speaker 2:Okay, and September.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he booked just no particular, just a room and they stayed the night. He wanted to be a surprise her because it was Friday the 13th. Oh, that's what it was. It was Friday the 13th and he wanted to surprise her and then the next day was their wedding anniversary, so you know it was perfect for her. Well, he says that at three in the morning he woke up because the room next door he kept hearing like the hangers in the closet shuffling, like a bunch of drawers slamming, like like people looking through the closet right.
Speaker 1:So he was like this doesn't make sense and he didn't want to wake up his wife. But he was like you know, let me just call the front desk to see what, if something's going on so that they can do like a courtesy call or something, let them know to keep it down. He calls them and he says I'm staying in room. Blah, blah, blah. And the room next door is making a lot of noise, like I hear a lot of, like they're going through a closet and they were like well, no one's staying in that room.
Speaker 2:I'll be like baby, wake up. Uh, I don't want to scare you, but we're getting the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1:Well, if his wife is into the spooky, he should have woken her up be like hey, there's ghosts next to us no, well, his thing was that he wanted to go explore the boat. He's like, well, if I'm hearing noise every now, I should go out there and see what's going on. And he was like, well, I don't want to scare her and have her wake up and see no one. I was like this guy.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, very contradictory, but he was telling us that you sound, but yeah, and then he said that in the morning he had told his wife about it and she was like I heard it too stop it.
Speaker 2:And she acted like she was asleep. She was like oh hell, no well, she was smart, I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's like go to girl with him, like I'm not gonna ask for help yeah, she was like I heard nothing, I saw nothing, dumb yeah, but that's that's about it for the queen mary on my end see.
Speaker 2:This is why people die in movies because they want to go see what the fuck is up I'll be like yeah never mind, I'm I'm good on that I got out and I said I'm not going back.
Speaker 2:And then here I was at my brother's wedding. Well, we kind of had no choice. But yeah, no, I don't have any stories about the queen mary, but mine is kind of related to the ocean, I guess. Um, so we mentioned briefly in another episode the one time I we were together and a lot of things happened and I ended up almost drowning, and so I don't think you and I have ever discussed like the aftermath of that. But what happened was I was panicked because both of us got pulled thrown down by the ocean, like.
Speaker 2:So we were like in the we were on the shore, right, yeah we were on the shore and then, like I just remember, a big ass wave like the size of us came, or that's how I remember I don't know if I probably I'm exaggerating and threw us both down and I was like bitch, let's get the fuck out of here. And then the ocean was just like uh-uh, you're coming with me. And so I got pulled into the ocean and you were drunk, and so I was like, oh my god, I don't know if Leslie can get out. And so I was like, oh my god, like is she out, is she not? Is she drowning? Like are we both drowning? What the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2:So I was panicking because I didn't know what the fuck was happening with you, and so in in this whole thing, I think I got caught in like a riptide, and so every time I would come out of the water I would see the lights from the houses getting farther and farther away and at the same time that this whole fucking thing is happening, the fireworks are going off, because it's Fourth of July, and so even if I were like, I was screaming for help. But obviously you can't fucking hear it because the fireworks, fourth of July. And so even if I was like I was screaming for help, but obviously you can't fucking hear it because the fireworks are going out. So I was trying to swim out, but at this point in time I did not know that you're not supposed to try to swim forward, you're you're supposed to try to swim diagonally. And so the thing is that I kept trying to get out and I couldn't. And there was a point where I was like, okay, this is how I die, this is my biggest fear, this is how I'm going to die, like for sure.
Speaker 2:And I was tired of like trying to get out, and so I kind of let myself go to, like the point where I was like, okay, I'm going to die, like this is it. And I felt something pulling my foot and I don't know what the fuck it was, obviously, and I don't really know what happened after that. I know that some guys like went in to to get me out. They got me out and then after that I couldn't sleep in the dark for weeks, months even, because what would happen to me is that I would start hearing voices and I would start seeing shit. So remember, at this point I was living in that little garage and, well, there was no windows, so there was no way that it could be like a, like a shadow from the outside, for example, and so I would. I would see weird things and I felt like somebody was always watching me. You know that song like, and I always feel like somebody's watching me anyway, yeah, so, uh, that's how I felt all the time.
Speaker 2:And it got to the point where, you know, my grandma, or our grandma, is very religious and she was here at that time and one time I went to stay over at our aunt's house and I was like she, she saw that I was restless and she was like, like what happened? Like what's wrong with you? And I was like, well, ever since that incident, you know, like I've been seeing things and I like I feel like I can't sleep and I constantly feel like there's bad energies around me. And she ended up praying for me. She gave me like this crucifix I I guess that's what you call it it was like a wooden cross and she was like, well, you're gonna like sleep with this and you're gonna pray and this and this and that. And she took me to church and she like had the priest like throw some holy water at me, and so it did minimize, but it never fully went away.
Speaker 2:So I still can't sleep without a light. So I have Christmas lights in my living room that go on at 11 pm and they go off like at six in the morning because of that. So I don't, I could, I could. I can't really tell you that it's paranormal in the sense that it's ghosts and stuff, but I feel like there was an energy that was trying to pull me into the ocean that night and they weren't able to get me. And you know that I'm very like spiritual and like I believe in like energies and all that shit, and so I feel like there was something that got attached to me that time and I've always kind of had it with me ever since that makes a lot of that makes a lot of sense, because I didn't know.
Speaker 1:It's like I don't know why you didn't want to tell me. I mean, you always tell me, oh, because of that time, because of the time, but I don't want to talk about it and I never understood why you never wanted to talk to me about it. But I never pushed you to say more. But that time what happened is my glasses fell into the water and I was trying to get them. I think both you were like no, just let them go. And we were trying. I was still trying to get them and they ended up going and I kept walking further to get them and then that's when a wave crushed on us and it pulled us.
Speaker 1:The weird part is that you went straight in in a way. You got pulled straight in and I got pushed towards the rocks that were all the way on the other side. That, to me, is crazy. And, yes, obviously I was drunk, so I blacked out, but something made me open my eyes and when I opened them, I was about to hit the rocks and something just made me open my eyes and that's why I was able to cover my face, or else I would have impaled the rocks, but, um, I was able to like push myself against it and then, um, I grabbed on to the rock. Um, obviously, if anyone who's been in, where were their rocks?
Speaker 2:or well, I don't honestly dude like I had never been to that bitch, so bitch, uh, beach, so I don't, I don't really know like I can't remember the layout of it, and it was again. It was fucking 9 pm, bro, like we couldn't fucking see anything. Our friends that were with us couldn't. Fireworks are going off so I'm on the on these rocks.
Speaker 1:Um, a wave is about to crash on me, so so I have to grab onto these slippery-ass rocks, because they're slippery, and I hold on and I got scratched on my side because I was holding onto the damn rocks and somehow I had to climb those rocks to get out, or else there was no way I would have been able to get out dead right there.
Speaker 1:I would have gotten crushed. When I got out, I can see it's like if I'm on a hill, girl, and I see you in the water. I just see your hands, but you're like far from me, like even if I were to jump in the water, like there was no way that I can swim to you, and so I don't even know how I got dragged to that point. But I start walking towards the sand and then going that way and I can hear them yelling for you and I'm yelling for you, and then you stopped. And that's when, um, these other guys that were there, they were when I wasn't even near that area. I was like probably halfway there when those guys I saw them go in the water to go get you and then they got you.
Speaker 2:Thank god that they were there, because the the friends that we were with and neither of them knew how to swim, just you. And then they got you. Thank god that they were there, because the the friends that we were with and neither of them knew how to swim, just you and me. And you were drunk as fuck. And I know that our friend the pigeon, uh, wouldn't let you back in because he was like no, I can't have you both in the water. That's why he's always like you, monroy's, in the fucking water. Um, because you wanted to go in and he was like no, like you can't, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then but I was like I kept telling him but I can get her and I can get her, um, so yeah, they got you out, but after that you did have this thing about noises and being in the dark, that much I gathered yeah and yeah.
Speaker 2:So there it was years. This is 2015, 2016 that this happened so like almost 10 years.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, fuck for real.
Speaker 2:Damn, that's crazy um, so, yeah, that's. That's about that time ago and I wasn't able to go. I've, I've gone to the beach, I've gone to the ocean. And I hadn't been able to get into the water. And it wasn't until I think, 2022 with my ex that we went to the beach in Guatemala and he was like no, like it's fine, come in. And I was like no, I, like I don't want to. He was like no, no, it's fine, like I got you, like don't worry. And my brother and my nephew and his son, they were like come on, let's go, like you're fine. And I was like no, I really don't want to. Because to me it was like whatever was trying to get me that day was going to fucking get me eventually if I went back in the water, right. And so for like years I couldn't listen to the sound of the ocean, I couldn't be at the beach at night like you. And our little cousin would ask me like you know, let's go. And I'll be like, yeah, no, you guys go, I. And I'll be like, nah, you guys go, I'm good.
Speaker 2:And then last year, because my best friend's daughter she loves the ocean and she wanted to get in, but my friend doesn't like it. She was like Maria, go with me, like come on, like you know, like do this for me. And I was like how am I going to tell a little kid, no, like I'm trying to show her to be brave, I'm trying to show her to like you can do anything in life, right, and I'm over here being a fucking 30 year old woman who can't even get in the ocean because I can't get over my fear. And so we went to what, oh, I don't want to say. Well, there's a beach that I asked you about. And you were like, yeah, that beach is really nice, that's where I go.
Speaker 2:And so we went there and I was like, okay, the water seems chill enough here that we can go in. And so we went in and that's kind of like what started helping me be able to get in the water. And so then I started getting more and more, but I still won't go like full body swim into the ocean, type of thing, like I can't. But yeah, that's the paranormal thing that happened to me and I don't know like how, how, I don't know how mentally it is or how traumatizing it is, or like if it really is like something that was there because you know, like there's a lot of people who have died at the ocean and so there's a lot of souls that are there, poor, unfortunate souls again, you know so I'm telling you, like I don't know what made me open my eyes.
Speaker 2:I don't, yeah, yeah. While you were having a Moana moment, the ocean helping you, I was like I can't fucking.
Speaker 1:But like it makes sense. I never knew why I was like. To me. I was like well, I understand, we both almost drowned, all right. So to me I was like we had what I thought was we had the same experience. So why are you so scared of the sounds of the ocean and just not wanting to be in the dark? And I would always like I mean I've gone to your house and I see all the lights and I mean I slept over and I know that you sleep with the lights on. But I never questioned it. I've never asked you like, do you sleep with these on? Like I just I thought it was cute I never put two and two together that I had to do A.
Speaker 2:Bella Swan moment? No, it was. Because it's because of that, it's I don't know. It's crazy. It's hard for me to sleep in the dark. I always have to have a little light on. But yeah, babe, that's my paranormal experience. The ocean, and then I have, I guess, what we were when I was little, living in guatemala, to.
Speaker 2:To wrap that story up, um, when I was living in guatemala, I used to go to the school. That was two levels and sometimes my friend and I, my friends and I would stay. Well, I wouldn't stay by choice. It was like I was waiting for someone to pick me up and so we would like to go play in the second floor, but the teachers and the janitor, they would say don't. And you know, when they tell you don't, what do you do? What do you do? You go and do it, and so we always like going to play in the second floor, and why, I don't know, because it was literally only classrooms. But one time we were playing there and we thought there was more people in this, in the school, in this floor, because we could hear kids laughing and like they were playing ball type of thing, and you could hear the sound of desks moving and we go, and there was absolutely nothing and we were like, um, what the fuck? Yeah, and so my friends, being brave, they were like I'm gonna go check it out. And I was like, yeah, peace, bitches, you guys can die, you guys can be haunted, I'm out.
Speaker 2:And I remember running down the stairs and then all the way to the other side of the school, because this was like a school that it was like a whole how do you call like four corners, right, like the whole school was like the four corners of the whole street. So we were on one side and I was like, fuck, this shit, I'm leaving. And I went all the way to the other side. And you know, girl, that I hate running. Ever since I was a little girl, I've hated running.
Speaker 2:And I got there so fast and the janitor, I think he asked me like what happened? And I was scared to tell him because you know, we couldn't go on that side and I was like nothing, it's just, I'm scared that they're gonna pick me up and I'm not gonna be here. And so my friends, like in the end they said that they really didn't see anything, but they stopped hearing the noises too, and then other people at the school would always talk about how they would hear people on the second floor. Well, kids on the second floor and I don't know till this day if something happened in that school, like a kid died or something, because you know, usually when you hear kids is because the tragedy happened, right.
Speaker 2:Um, but yeah, I remember that when we were little and I was like that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Um which school would this be el osorio?
Speaker 2:no, no, no no it wasn't.
Speaker 1:It was the one in la reformita um, is it the same traumatizing school that I was?
Speaker 2:kidding. Well, yours was natural disaster mine was a natural disaster. Scare um yeah, no, it wasn't that one. And oh, and I guess, girl, if we're talking paranormal girl, my entire fucking life. So do you know the story about why I got baptized?
Speaker 1:no okay.
Speaker 2:so there's a story in our family and obviously, like other people could say it better, but when I was like four or five months old, she who shall not be named mom gave me clothing. Like she was like oh well, here you go. Like here's some clothes for Maria.
Speaker 1:The Make-A-Wish.
Speaker 2:Foundation. Bitch, this kid, bitch biscuit. You guys. This is, this is Leslie at her finest. You're getting to know her today, anyway. So my mom didn't think anything of it and she started dressing me in that clothes, right. And so my grandma says that around the time that this happened, um, our, our aunt, the, the, our little cousin's mom, she was over there, she was pregnant, and so she says that they were sitting in the table and they could see into the to the rooms. So place yourself like where we would eat and you could see into the rooms, right. And so she says that she saw something pass from one room to the other and now she told my grandma yeah.
Speaker 2:So she told my grandma like I la china. So my mom, she's already like gonna try to scare us. And my grandma was like god, no, like I'm gonna go check. So she goes into my mom's room and my mom is like chilling dude and she's like what happened? And my grandma's like you didn't, you didn't just pass from this room to this room and my mom's room. And my mom is like chilling dude and she's like what happened? And my grandma's like you didn't, you didn't just pass from this room to this room. And my mom's like no, I've been here the whole time. And so my grandma's like well, she said that she saw you. And my mom's like no, but I thought it was you guys, because I saw something. And so they're all like what the fuck is happening?
Speaker 2:Right, and at this point, um la abuelita paula, she was still alive and like the next day or something like that, something tripped her over. She said that she was walking and something. She felt like like there was this, this like invisible barrier or something, and she just fell like face forward. And they were like what happened? And she's like I saw something and something tripped me over and I fell, and so, oh no, I was like six months old.
Speaker 2:And so my grandma, she said that every time they would put those clothes on me I would start crying, I would start scratching my face and it was like this, like non-stop fucking thing that would happen to me, and so that she would grab both of my hands and she would start praying and that's the only way that I would calm down. So I don't know who went to the house and told my mom, like this isn't normal, like you should take your daughter to. There was like this witchy lady that used to live around the street, around the block from the house. And so my grandma was like you know what, I don't believe in any of that, but like I think you should, you know. And so the story goes that my mom went with me and that my grandma I think my grandma was washing, uh, mamita's clothing in the in the back of the house. You know, la pila, that is in the back of the house so yeah.
Speaker 2:And so she saw this like shadow that looked like a like a chicken type of thing kind of follow my mom, like it came out of the back door of the house and it went through the hallway, through the back of the house and like it disappeared. And my grandma was like what fuck? So then when they took me to this lady, this lady was like oh no, you gotta go and you gotta baptize that kid, like fucking right away. And my mom was like why? And she was like you have a shadow of a tall, slim woman following you and they want to see your kid, like they're they're doing harm to your kid boys. And so my mom was like what the hell? And she obviously didn't know that.
Speaker 2:My grandma saw this shadow like go after us, right. And so when they started talking and all, and they were like oh hell, no, like we got to do this. So they went to the church in La Colonia, like where we used to go, and they had to baptize me like emergency status and that's why well, I don't know if that's the reason why, but like artia was there at the time and that's why she's my godmother oh, that explains a lot I always wondered that dynamic.
Speaker 2:But you're like how the did that.
Speaker 1:You know what's yeah so um, the same person that gifted you those clothes had told my mom make sure you don't leave any of your children's clothes here, meaning at grandma's house, because this lady does things to them.
Speaker 2:My grandma.
Speaker 1:Our grandma told my mom that, and I was like oh and now that makes sense.
Speaker 2:She probably used that as an example. See how that's crazy, right, and that's why. Example you see how that that's crazy right, and that's why she has the nickname that she has, because, well, it is fitting, she's a witch, um. But yeah, babe, that is what happened to me when I was six months old.
Speaker 1:That's crazy. So I have a. I'm seeing a pattern of a shadow following you. Yeah, I guess. So that's girl, you need a limpia.
Speaker 2:I do.
Speaker 1:That's so crazy. That's weird that they saw a figure. But I was going to ask you do you remember when we stayed in the back part of the?
Speaker 2:house Bitch when we burned all of our clothes.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, I do what scared us oh.
