He's always touching stuff. He always has to be touching something Even now he's touching

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 0:23

He's poking, poking and prodding.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 0:26

Yes, he's just like rubbing his nasty little gums on the furniture

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 0:32

Be. Leave him be

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 0:34

He's disgusting.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 0:36

When we lived at the other place, There was a bunch of Barry boogers on the, the, glass panes of,

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 0:42

Berry boogers.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 0:44

He had a booger wall here

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 0:45

Garnet has a booger wall 'cause she sneezes

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 0:48

yeah, there's like a specific place that he likes to lay down, and he sneezes so often that just, there's just boogers on

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 0:53

Garnet sneezes like right next to her food bowl, and I have that little like half wall that I feed her in front of, and

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:01

her booger wall?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:02

that's her booger wall

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:04

We should all be so lucky to have our own booger walls.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:07

Yeah.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:08

And to have it cleaned up for us,

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:10

wiped down.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:11

A friend of mine growing up had a booger wall, and that's

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:15

Oh, like a, like a wiped the boogers on the wall situation?

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:20

Yeah.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:21

Just kind of a nasty

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:22

know someone who used to take off their contacts at night and just, like, throw them under the bed

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:27

I think that's fairly unfortunately common with people who wear

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:30

That's gross. I feel like that smells

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:33

Maybe.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:34

They're not

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 2:14

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 2:20

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 2:21

no, that's river

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 2:22

and prism glasses. I'll bring up the prism glasses later. But I'm River. All jokes aside, I'm

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 2:28

Yeah. And today, River is Zach Bagans because today we're talking about haunted places again, and we haven't had a haunted places episode in, I think, over 40 episodes. I'm excited about my topic personally. I hope you guys like it. It's a little bit long, and it's very historical

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 2:46

and in between the two, I will come at you with a

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 2:50

the

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 2:51

Betwixt the two, A little tasty Mad Lib. Hopefully you guys liked the one if you listened to our episode 50. I also did a Mad Lib in that one, so

his gnarled pussy.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:04

Yes, perhaps we'll have something

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:07

other gnarled

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:08

I don't know.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 3:09

I feel like that's a book title. Like, it's gotta...

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:12

The gnarled pussy?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 3:13

His

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:14

Gnarled Pussy

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:15

His gnarled pussy, yeah. Yes.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 3:18

Tingle, please, I know you're listening.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:20

you're listening. I know you're a fan

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 3:22

I know you're our number one fan. I see the downloads

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:25

All right. At the beginning of every episode, we play a hypothetical game. Sometimes it's a situation or a question. today we're being employed again. We're getting A job?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 3:38

A job?

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:39

what is your favorite dish that you like to make? Like, what's the dish that you make best,

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:44

Probably the gnocchi. is probably what I'm most known for.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 3:47

Oh, yeah, the gnocchi is good. I would say my white chicken chili.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 3:52

chicken chili. yeah Okay. Well, the head chef of a newly opened Michelin star restaurant, because somehow it already has a Michelin star even though it just opened. It's that good.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 4:04

Yeah. Like that doesn't take

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 4:06

that good. Yeah, he heard all about your chicken chili and your gnocchi, and he's like, "I have to hire these guys." and he's tasked you with creating a dish, that encapsulates a specific word that encompasses, like, a specific feeling, kind of like we did for the perfume episode.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 4:27

Oh, yeah.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 4:29

I have six words, and that's why I was like, we could break it up and just do, like, three and three, but we can just do three,

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 4:35

Hmm

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 4:35

And since this is a fancy-schmancy restaurant, the dish is gonna be really, really tiny, so it has to be able to fit on a fork. It's a single bite dish. So I need you to create

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 4:47

Oh, it's that

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 4:48

bite. Yeah, the perfect bite that describes one of these words. Just choose a number, one, one, two, three. River wants two? One, Skye, you are doing which is the warmth of the sun in winter River, you are doing volutenous, which is, it basically means velvety, but the actual, the actual definition is covered with a fine and dense silky pubescence.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 5:22

Pubescence.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 5:24

velvet wrapped steel or whatever.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 5:27

Mm. Okay. Okay. I can work with that. to chew on

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 5:34

Mm-hmm

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 5:34

and then I will do pluvicor. actually, we- let's switch. Let's, let's give River this one because I feel like this is more up their alley. Pluvicor, similar to petrichor, is the complex soothing atmosphere of being tucked away in safety while listening to and smelling a rainstorm Yeah. And I'll do voluteness. I

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 5:56

Cooking. I have ideas

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 5:59

Okay. Insert transition music here while we figure this out

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 6:13

I think I have mine

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:15

I'm already salivating over mine. I'm like, "Oh."

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 6:17

I wanna eat mine as a whole

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:19

Oh.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 6:19

for real.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:20

Yeah, just one bite, not enough.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 6:22

Just oh, I need a

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:23

it's $120

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:26

Oh, they got like they got The mandarin oranges from like the Falcon Islands or some like a

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 6:31

Yeah.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:32

obtuse place

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 6:33

Yeah. They flew them out that morning so that they were as fresh as possible.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:38

Yeah.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 6:39

The carbon emissions on this restaurant are crazy.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:42

Okay. Sky, you did number one. You wanna go first with, um- Apricity, the warmth of the sun in winter

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:52

Chef, I have presented for you today a peppermint dark chocolate whipped mousse

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:59

Mm-hmm

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 6:59

with a fresh mandarin slice on top, and then as a garnish, we have shaved peppermint bark and grated ginger on top. So we have that... Yeah. And so we have that peppermint chocolate mousse base representative of the holiday season. We're in mid-December, very, very holiday cold. but then you have the brightness of the pop of the mandarin and the ginger acting as that brightness in the winter, and then of course, a little bit of peppermint bark for just like a little crunchy texture in there. So you have... Y- yeah. you've got like the whippy mousse. You've got like the bursting of the mandarin and like a little bit of a crunch with the, with the peppermint bark, just so that way you have all these different sensations going on at the same time. Because there's nothing quite like a winter day, freshly fallen snow. It's very quiet. You go outside and then the... It's cold outside. It's, I don't know, 17 degrees Fahrenheit, and the clouds part and just one single beam. of sun hits you. And it's not warm, but it just is so welcoming during that, that dark time, just adding a little bit of bliss.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 8:16

of hope.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 8:17

I hope you enjoy. Bon appetit.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 8:19

Delicious.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 8:21

And for that, you get to live.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 8:22

Thank you, chef.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 8:24

Thank you, chef

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 8:26

All right. mine was technically number two, so I can go next. kind of similar to Skye's, I also did a dessert. I'm gonna have a candied sage leaf, but I'm only candy- candying the bottom, like, veiny side. But I'm gonna flip it so it's fuzzy side down, so when you scoop it with the fork, it's gonna... You're gonna get the fuzz on your tongue.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 8:47

I get the fuzzies

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 8:49

And a little bit of a, like, there's gonna be a little bit of a crackle to the candy, you know, 'cause it's very thin layer. and then on top of that, we're gonna have a dark chocolate truffle just kinda sitting, sitting on top there. again, very thin shell, and when you bite into it, it cracks and just outpours thick salted caramel, just velvety and gooey over your tongue. And of course, it's gonna be topped with a dollop of house-made sage-infused whipped cream

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 9:18

That sounds delicious.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 9:20

I would like to eat that

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 9:21

I would like to eat both of these things

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 9:24

Not to suck our own dicks, but I think we're geniuses

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 9:27

I think we might be the smartest people on the planet. We should open a restaurant/wellness. We should open a food truck that only sells dirty lolis

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 9:36

We should start a podcast,

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 9:37

my God, we should start a

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 9:38

We should start a podcast. People need to hear this

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 9:43

All right, River. Pluvicor

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 9:45

Chefs, I present to you today my dish. Some people may call it simple. I call it rustic and nostalgic. We have at the base a layer of shredded hash browns, savory season- We've got steak seasoning. We've got smoked paprika on it. On top of that, we have a, a meaty hunk of chicken of the woods mushroom on there. Sky's not gonna like this dish. It's not for everybody. That's okay.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 10:19

it. It's just one bite

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 10:20

It's just one bite. yeah. And chicken of the woods doesn't taste mushroomy really.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 10:25

No. It's very, it's very meaty.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 10:28

as it doesn't have that rubbery mushroom texture, I, I would eat it.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 10:32

So we have our shredded hash browns, deliciously seasoned. We have our chicken of the woods mushroom. On top of that, we have a delicious house-made vegan gluten-free gravy on top of it. Yeah, a brown gravy. Get into it. This dish, fully customizable to be vegan and gluten-free

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 10:57

Gorgeous. And we need that

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 10:59

And we need that for our restaurant. We need the diversity

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 11:03

And to complete the experience, I think for all three of ours, if this is a tasting menu, wrap up the diner in a, like a blanket, a nice cozy blanket, and then just play, like, the sound of thunderstorms as they're eating.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 11:20

Yes. We do a soundscape. We put, like, a weighted blanket over their

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 11:24

Yeah. And as they maybe will finish the dish with Sky's bite so that, uh, like there's a, we'll, we'll put a spotlight on them at

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 11:34

Yeah. Hell yeah. But like A soft spotlight, like a little, a little sun ray

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 11:43

I'd probably go three, two, one

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 11:44

Yeah. Yeah.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 11:46

In order.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 11:47

Those are our biggest pulls. Okay. I'm not covering an episode of Ghost Adventures. I'm covering something better. I'm covering the 2018 documentary Zak Bagans produced called Demon House.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 14:00

I know Demon House. Yes. Um, I think I, I, I think I listened to a podcast about it actually. I didn't watch it.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 14:10

It sucks. It's a bad documentary, objectively. Sky, heard of it?

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 14:18

Uh, no. I probably have only seen like half of one episode of Ghost Adventures in my whole life. So I know of Zak Bagans as like a meme but not a-

obsessed with this man.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 14:30

don't know him intimately

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 14:31

I had to pick up the mic to say that.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 14:34

Adventures is my hotel show. If I'm in a hotel,

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 14:37

Yes

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 14:38

I will turn... 'Cause it's always on.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 14:39

It's always on. They've got, like, 18 fucking seasons. You can just hop right in. There's very little storylines, if ever. And it's just so easy to just put on, and then you, you're on your phone, you're not really paying attention, and then you hear, like, four grown men screaming on the screen, and you go, "What happened over there?" And it was nothing. And we'll get into that. Back to Demon House. So this-- and I use the term documentary so loosely because it's literally just Zak and his crew filming. And, like, that's what they do for a living. They have a TV show. But I feel like a TV show and a documentary are two very different things. A documentary has, like, a thesis and a plot, and they try to form one as they go, and they're really trying to, like, pull sources and witnesses. But, It doesn't, like, congeal well together. It all feels, like, very

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 15:43

that a TV show, the-- at least their TV show, its base purpose is for entertainment, whereas a documentary is supposed to highlight some kind of truth or you're trying to make some kind of point.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 15:56

Yes. And I think Zak genuinely does believe he is making a point,

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 16:01

Mm-hmm.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 16:01

but he's not good at it, and it shows.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 16:06

you believe it."

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 16:07

I believe Zak believes everything he has said and experienced, and that is how I feel about Zak Bagans. I think he really, really believes everything that's ever happened to him. Does that make it true? Not all the time, but we'll get into that later. So the documentary opens up with a warning, first and foremost. First frame is a warning.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 16:30

warning

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 16:30

Well, sort of a demonic trigger warning. It says, "The following documentary may not be suitable for all audiences. This film shows real people, places, and events involving alleged demonic possession. Demonologists believe that demons can attach themselves to you through other people, objects, and electronic devices. View at your own risk." So even just watching this documentary, you're setting yourself up for potential demonic activity.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 16:59

talking about it right

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 17:01

Even me using my laptop to tell you guys about it, I am spreading

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 17:07

Even if you turn this episode off right now and just think about remembering this episode, you,

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 17:12

Gotcha. This was my plan all along because I'm the devil

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 17:16

You're spreading the virus

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 17:18

I'm spreading the virus. So this documentary, Zak is setting himself up as a self-described one of the world's leading researchers on ghosts and demonology. He doesn't give any credentials to back that up. He just says that about himself

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 17:33

his experience. He's like, "Go watch my TV show. I've, done it

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 17:36

He's like, I spent a lot of time yelling at empty rooms. I'm one of the leading researchers on this shit." And to be fair, he has a lot of good connections. He manages to pull a lot of people, maybe not of, like, the highest professional caliber, but they have the technical training. But they're not... I wouldn't say they're, like, big names in the fields he's pulling

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 18:03

read the ancient texts.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 18:05

So Zak, and we've laid the groundwork perfectly, he's done 18 seasons of his ghost hunting show. he went to the Bobby Mackey Bar and Grill, which apparently has a portal to hell in the basement.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 18:17

Yeah, right.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 18:17

And he says, in his own words, "This is the case that really fucked me up." So this is big.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 18:26

He used the fuck word

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 18:28

He used the fuck word 'cause it's his own documentary and he can say whatever he wants. This isn't the Travel Channel. And Zak explains that this house, it's a house in Gary, Indiana, it was supposed to be the next Amityville. It was his Amityville. And Poppy, as somebody who's done a whole presentation on the Amityville house and whether it was a hoax or not, would you like to give your two cents or a brief conclusion or anything?

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 19:00

was a hoax?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 19:01

Just on what you think about it and what this could possibly mean in comparison to the house in Gary, Indiana, the

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 19:07

Ugh. I mean, so just a, a super high level, the Amityville house is where this dude murdered his entire family, went away to prison, and then a family moved into the house and immediately, began experiencing significant paranormal activity. They fled famously a month after they moved in,

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 19:31

in the middle of the

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 19:32

in the middle of the night, yes, of course, and then author Jay Anson wrote the famous Amityville Horror about it. Went on to be made into a movie, and then I think like 15 sequels, something crazy like that. but basically it came out eventually they had kind of moved in with the intention of doing this, and that the story had been concocted, quote, "over, many long conversations and bottles of wine." So

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 20:05

Take that how you will, dear listeners.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 20:07

four people were

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 20:08

It could be. There was a terrible tragedy there, for sure, and there were tragedies at the house in Gary, Indiana. But I always find it fascinating and a little bit telling when people compare things to the Amityville house, 'cause I'm like, "Ooh, what do you mean by that? I think I know what you mean, but, like, do you know what you mean?"

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 20:32

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 20:35

The walls, literally the walls started oozing slime at one point. Amityville. He was getting in on the ground floor. This is all preamble. He hasn't-- He's just setting the stage. He hasn't even entered the house yet. He apparently, throughout filming this, it took three years because so much shit kept happening, so much bad shit kept befalling the people that were involved in the production. Zak became ill and couldn't leave his room for eight days, apparently. They had to fire a crew member.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 21:12

horror.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 21:12

the horror. They had, um, an electromagnetic field expert who, like, came into the house with Zak, and then his, like, organs started shutting down, like, a month later. It's ver- I will say very weird shit has happened to people that have been involved in this house. Object- Like, one person, like, got diagnosed with cancer shortly after they were in the house.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 21:37

Maybe there's just radiation in this

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 21:39

Maybe there's just, like, carcinogens and black mold everywhere

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 21:43

It's just asbestos and something is radiating green slime

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 21:48

Yeah. Just there's some shit ooze, and there was later in the documentary when they were doing, like, evidence walkthroughs, they were saying that, like, there was a weird oil that would start showing up on, like, the window blinds that nobody could find the source for. Literally, it's just a bunch of cops wandering around and going, Gross. What the fuck is that?" So I believe this was filmed in, like, late 2014, early 2015, the documentary.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 22:20

if I can be real.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 22:21

A deeply scary time. So in 2014, Zach had a nightmare, and I will read this nightmare to you now

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 22:30

Verbatim as he said it?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 22:32

Not, there is one verbatim quote at the very end, which I think is very funny. But the, the nightmare in general, I'm gonna paraphrase a little bit. So in the nightmare, Zak was a spirit hanging out with other spirits, and he showed them a trick of him moving an object on the table without touching it, much like he asks spirits to do in his show. Then suddenly, he's standing in front of a door and unable to control his body. The door opens and a 12-foot tall goat figure is standing there. Dark black smoke comes out of the figure's mouth and Zak is forced to inhale it. And to quote Zak directly, When I woke up, my lungs hurt, and I knew this was some serious shit that meant something."

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 23:23

Hey, we've all

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 23:24

He's so fucking funny, dude. He's so goddamn... 'Cause He's so sincere, but he's also a showman and kind of a huckster, but he's so sincere about it

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 23:39

He's the perfect person to be doing exactly

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 23:41

Yeah.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 23:42

He found his passion and his calling and his life's work, and I thank him for that. So a week after Zak has this nightmare, the story of the possessed demon house in Gary, Indiana, makes international news. Zak's filming his show out in California. He hears about the house. He buys it sight unseen. He says, "I have to have this house. I don't give a sh-" It's in Gary,

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 24:10

He buys the house?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 24:12

bought the house

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 24:14

insane.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 24:15

cause it was, like, it was up for rent, like, people were renting it, but he bought it just from the buyer, 'cause he was like, "I have to see what this house is all about. There, there's apparently 200 demons in this house. I have to find out what that's all about." So Zak goes off to Gary, Indiana. There's squatters currently in the house, so he, like, kicks them out, and while he's exploring the house, a psychic medium that he's friends with texts him a warning. and he says that there's a 12-foot-tall demon guardian in the house. If you remember his nightmare, just like the goat figure. But also, the text is shown on the screen, and I paused it and read through it, and the psychic medium only refers to the demon as being very, very large, and it's also never disclosed if the medium has even been to the house before I'm not a psychic medium I don't know how they work. I don't fully believe in a lot of them but I, I find it hard to believe that you can get such a particular specific vibe off of a house long range, contacting the demons remotely. But that's just me I also feel like there's maybe a shared psychosis in the ghost hunting world that sort of catches people, and they just sort of run, and they j- they're just all sort of smelling their own farts, you know?

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 25:42

I also saw that figure. Ooh

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 25:44

Oh, there's a ver- And it never said it was 12 feet tall. The psychic medium just said very, very large. And to me, seven feet is very, very large. Yeah.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 25:55

that's a big goat

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 25:56

That's very large. So Zak owns the Demon House. The original story centers around Latoya Ammons, her three children, and her mother. And Zak wants to find out so badly from their own mouths about it, and he and his crew stalk Latoya to find her because she did, like, a news interview after she had moved to, like, a different city. Not about the Demon House. It was about something else in her apartment complex that she had moved to. And they use that because her apartment number was shown in the news clip. They straight up stalked this woman to a different city, which is psycho behavior. Latoya and her family, they talked to Zak a little bit over the phone, but they didn't really want anything to do with the documentary. But also, like, they were talking to movie executives, and they were, like, holding out for, like, film rights to get more money. Uh, so reportedly, what the family experienced were a multitude of things, like a spectrum of paranormal activity. You had footsteps going up and down the basement stairs. The basement's a pretty prominent location in the house.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 27:18

Naturally.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 27:19

Naturally, the scariest place in the house. There were shadowy figures in the living room. Big, fat, black flies would, like, swarm their porch in the middle of winter, which i- a la the Amityville house. Very similar with the black flies. clairvoyants allegedly claimed the house was full of 200 demons, and there was a portal to hell under the basement

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 27:44

They took a quick survey. They're like, "Hey, demons, I need you to come and,

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 27:48

Hey, can we just get like a census real quick? Can you guys just like line up real quick? the children were really affected. They would start speaking in, like, low voices and chanting. They would start acting aggressively and violently towards each other and towards their mother and grandmother. They also, like, there were a lot of professional adults around the kids during this time because they had, like, CPS workers being called on the family 'cause the kids were, like, missing school a lot, and there were a lot of reports of, like, ambulances and cops being called to the house because there was a lot of weird shit going on, and the kids were, like, being violent. I think at one point, while they were in the hospital, I wanna say, one of the boys started, like, speaking in a low, scary voice and, like, acting aggressively towards his grandmother, and then he... And a, a CPS worker was witness to this and attested to it, too. He started walking backwards up the wall

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 28:56

Ew. Oh, fuck.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 28:58

Horrifying.

That's kinda like that one British family haunting from the '60s. You know what I'm talking about? Like, where The actual cops... Yeah, The Conjuring 2, where,

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 29:22

Yeah. And there have been, like, there are cops that are in the documentary, there are CPS workers, there are, like, child psychologists, there's a priest involved who all apparently witnessed all this shit. Uh, there are a lot of local cops around there that will not go into the house because they do believe it's haunted. There was a priest who, did minor rites of exorcism for the family. The family fled, moved out. they still claim to be affected by the house, but it, it also d- mm, doesn't seem to be bothering them that much 'cause they're sort of going about business as usual

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 30:04

Where did you say this house is Georgia, Tennessee, where is it?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 30:07

Gary, Indiana. Yes, and then the family moved to Indianapolis, uh, about a year after they moved into the Gary house, I wanna say. So Zach is, he's interviewing all these professionals, all these caseworkers, all these cops, all this priest. He's, like, getting phone calls from Hollywood executives 'cause they want the film rights, and they don't want him overstepping his bounds. He's conducting investigations in the house to see what the fuck is going on. One of his crew members becomes, like, violent later at the hotel, and, like, screaming at the elevator, and saying he has to go back to the house.

Zach brings, the electromagnetic field expert into the house, because Zach is the most special and important boy, he's the most affected by all of this stuff. the electromagnetic spikes are following him around the basement. But it's much higher than what a human body would be. It's like 8,000 to 12,000 times what a human body would be able to put off. I'm saying he, like, it's just his cellphone is on, and he's, like, playing a YouTube video or some shit

And, like, his, the expert's back is turned. He's just doing his reading. Zak walks over here, and you literally see him go, "Er."

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 31:52

And he's

like, one step forward. And he's wearing a black muscle T. Literally. And then he's like, "I have to excuse myself from this house. It's affecting me."

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 32:04

he gets them all out? Do you think he does- he, like, throws up black bile or something? Like,

I, no, I think they live in him forever. I think they're making themselves, uh, very comfortable inside his body. He's got enough room for em. he's like 6'4" and built as fuck

Oh

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 32:24

Interesting. That'd be pretty badass. So all this culminates in Zach staying the night at the demon house alone. Of course, this is the conclusion to the documentary. He is in the house. the demons, the demons are assaulting him at every They're surrounding... It's like that one scene from Fantasia where it's just, like, spirals of spirits all around him. And he li- and he's constantly like, "Ow, my eyes, my eyes are fucking burning. Ow." And this house is why he wears glasses now, because his eyes got so fucked up that he has permanent double vision from the demons, and he has to wear prism glasses at all times.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 33:15

glasses. That's what that's from.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 33:17

Yeah, that's what that's from is the Gary, Indiana house, like, because the demons were just in his eyeballs causing a ruckus

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 33:26

He's like, "Y'all, I'm cross-eyed now.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 33:28

Literally, I'm cockeyed. The demons made me cockeyed and knock-kneed, and they gave me scoliosis and asthma

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 33:39

and an itchy asshole. So is the, is the Gary, Indiana house haunted? We'll never know because Zach tore it down.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 33:49

Did

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 33:50

tore it down. He said, Nobody else can go there." He, I wanna say he took the basement stairs and some of the dirt that was under the stairs, because that was allegedly the portal to hell, to the museum. Yes, exactly. So we have another case of, much like the Amityville house, is it real? Did bad shit happen to these people and this family? Yes, documentedly, there is a lot of weird proof that goes, like, just weird shit befell a lot of the people that were involved in this. But is it 200 demons causing all of this in a tiny little three

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 34:31

house in Gary, Indiana? not, if I

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 34:37

And like, just 'cause you tear down the house, what... Does that mean the demons are like, "Oh, I'm, don't have a

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 34:42

Fuck, my house. Shit, where am I gonna stay?

I guess"?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 34:47

I, yeah, I don't know if that's, like, releasing the demons into the broader world or if he's trying to, like, protect people. Also, if you own the house, you could just not rent it out. But I guess people could break in

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 35:00

He should have interviewed the squatters

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 35:03

He did. He interviewed... There have been a lot of people since the, uh, Ammons family moved out that, like, either rented it or they were squatting in there, and most of them said not a damn thing ever happened in that house. Same with Amityville. There was one squatter, they had to offer him money to leave. And when they offered him money, he was like, "Oh yeah, I could tell you some stories. Oh, yeah, but, like, we need to have a contract or something set up first. But, like, I could tell you some shit that went down in this house." So that's really the only other person besides the Ammons family who said anything happened in that house So that is a tiny little house in Gary, Indiana, and that's what I've spent the last two days watching on repeat.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 35:52

With great courage, knowing they had each other, they slowly scuttled through the halls. I heard the ghosts are known to shuck," said River, the scaredy-cat of the group

"Ooh, let's get out of here," River whined. "What could it want with me?" Poppy pondered aloud. "Let's not wait to find out," responded River. They made for the door and exited the building. Panting and scared, Poppy and River realized that Sky was not with them. "She was right behind us," said Poppy. Instead, they noticed the ghost box lie on the ground behind them, and through it, they heard warped voices and static until clearly Sky's voice came through, begging them to run. The end.

You're standing on the shore, sand between your toes as you gaze out over the water at sunset. The air is briny. Maybe you have a little Corona in your hand, a little lime. You're on a small island eight miles long and two miles wide, nestled between the strip of land that makes up the Outer Banks and the North Carolina mainland. In the distance, you see a flash of light on the horizon, and the hazy image of an old Renaissance-style ship appears. You hear a whisper. No, a chorus of whispers right against your ear. As you spin around and look behind you, you see the briefest glimpse of a white doe flitting off between the trees. You're on Roanoke Island, standing right on the land once walked by the Lost Colony.

I have a tale of colonization, bloodshed, and just horrible things that white people did and, uh

You know I love all of those

And the fact that you thought I would also do that,

I was like, "Maybe." our story begins with a dude named Walter

And he got

Yeah. Walter kinda sucks. So Walter is actually Sir Walter Raleigh. have of you guys know him?

No

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 45:00

He,

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 45:00

He, you, yeah, he's a very prominent, figure in English history. Walter Raleigh, was born into a nice Protestant family in Devon, England on January 22nd, 1553, Aquarius. He did a bunch of stuff. he suppressed an Irish rebellion. He was a mayor. He was a landlord.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 45:22

Is he at night?

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 45:23

eventually, yes, we'll get to that. He secretly married one of Queen Elizabeth's ladies-in-waiting, and later in his life, he famously pissed off our friend, King James I.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 45:35

He was easily pissed off

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 45:36

yeah, and he ended up locking him in a tower. Eventually, his excursions led him down to South America, and this inspired the legend of El Dorado And when he was down there, he ended up breaking a treaty with Spain somehow. and when he went back to England, he got arrested and executed. So that's how his story ends. Yeah. Yeah.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 46:00

Okay.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 46:00

Spoiler alert

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 46:02

Yeah. So that's all well and good, but what, what does that have to do with haunted places in Roanoke? I'll tell you. During his long career as an explorer and courtier, he's known for his attempts, plural attempts, at promulgating the first English colony in the Americas. This was over 20 years before Jamestown officially took root in Virginia, so this is old, old, late 1500s.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 46:30

pre-Christopher Columbus

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 46:31

No, Christopher Columbus was 1492. That's when he sailed the ocean blue. This was in the 1580s

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 46:40

So after the Americas

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 46:42

Just, yeah, quote. quote. Like the Spanish were there, the French were there. England had not set up a colony. mostly it was just like military guys kinda like exploring around

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 46:52

Yeah

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 46:53

so yeah, Jamestown was 1607. This is before that. he tried and failed to establish settlements in what is now coastal North Carolina on a small island wedged between the Outer Banks and the mainland called Roanoke Island, and last failed attempt would come to be known as the Lost Colony

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 47:13

Way to beef it so hard at every single instance,

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 47:17

And it's important to say that while Walter was ultimately in charge, he never actually set foot in North America. He never went. Yeah, he was a delegator

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 47:27

He was just

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 47:38

Absolutely. In dangerous, uh, unfamiliar territory

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 47:43

25th, 1584, Queen Elizabeth granted Walter a royal charter to, quote, "Explore, colonize, and rule any remote heathen and barbarous lands, countries, and territories not actually possessed of any Christian prince or inhabited by Christian people to have, hold, occupy, and enjoy." Yeah. It's, It's, theirs for the taking, basically. There are no Christians there.

Just send me back one-fifth of the gold and the silver you find there," because of course the Americas are just filled to the brim with gold and silver and riches.

Albert.

you flop

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 49:40

Gilbert's like, "Yeah, I wanna go do this thing. Let me go." Queen Elizabeth's like, "Yeah, go ahead." but on the way there, he died. So, yeah. So Walter was like, "Okay, I'll take up the reins."

but Gilbert actually had the balls to go?

Damn.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 50:01

Nah, that sounds scary. That's what happens when you don't make somebody do the thing for

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 50:07

Yeah. So about a month after this in April, his guys were packed up and ready to go. So they set sail for the New World on April 27th, 1584. The expedition was led by Philip Amadas, and Arthur Barlowe. And this first foray was just supposed to be exploratory to, like, get the lay of the land, you know? And it's just a bunch of dudes. It's like a whole... It's a sausage party. They looked around. Apparently they got along really well with the native people, who they would eventually come to fuck over, of course. But at first it was fine. You know, they're like, "Hey, you guys are here. We're just looking around. No big deal." They got especially close with the Croatoan, which was a group of people living south of Roanoke on what is now called Hatteras. they looked around, they had a great time. They're like, "Okay, this looks great. This place is awesome." And they brought people back with them, including a man named Manteo. Remember him, he's important.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 51:05

the name Manteo.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 51:07

now the name of a, of a town down there. It was named after him. It's very cute.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 51:12

They brought him

They brought him back to England, yeah.

How scary for him.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 51:16

apparently had a great time.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 51:21

I wonder if it's like the, um, um, what's it called? Like when the Amish go... A

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 51:27

Yeah.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 51:28

Like I wonder if it's like

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 51:29

Rumspringa Yeah, so he traveled over. His mother was actually the chieftain of the Croatoan, so, he had status. He was down to be an ambassador. upon their return to England, all these dudes are comparing Roanoke and, and, um, the North Carolina area as the Garden of Eden. They're like, "It's perfect. It's just bountiful. There's abundance there. The people are super welcoming. It's great." And Queen Elizabeth is like, "Damn, okay, this is promising. Walter, great job. You did a great job, Walter. I'm gonna knight you now for this," even though he didn't go. she declared that the land would be called Virginia, so that, like, the entire area back then was Virginia, even though it would eventually become North Carolina. And Walter was declared, Sir Walter Raleigh was declared the Knight Lord and Governor of Virginia

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 52:23

Jesus

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 52:23

So of course, Walter gets rock hard and starts frothing at the mouth. He's like, "Yes, let's go. We gotta turn... We gotta dial it up now. I'm gonna stake my claim. I'm gonna be the lord of this entire land." Super quickly, he put together his first attempt at actual colonization. In April of 1585, almost a year after the first expedition started, they set off, and this time a guy named Grenville was in charge. He brought Manteo back with him. they're going back, they're going back. there were supposed to be 69 colonists total, but for some reason they sent 600 people,

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 53:01

Oh,

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 53:02

uh, they intended for 300 to stay behind. Yeah, I don't know why. Like, how do you go from 69 to 300?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 53:09

To literally 10 times that

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 53:11

and it's like a small island too. I don't know if it's, like, because of the ships, they needed some. I don't know. but apparently some of them, left the party of ships going over and just went to go privateering and, like, pillaging and whatnot. and then some of them ran out of supplies and got stuck in Jamaica, and then while they were in Jamaica, they stole Spanish ships, and then they just fucked off and, like, went to do other stuff.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 53:36

And they were never heard from

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 53:37

Yeah. Yeah, lots of logistical stuff happened, They're back and forth, and they're trading and, like, supplies, blah, blah, blah. the remaining ship sailed on. The flagship was called the Tiger, and the Tiger had all of the supplies on it, and it hit a sandbar, ruining the majority of the food. So most of their food was ruined. Because of this, they didn't have enough food to support 300 people, so they were like, "Okay, 100. We're just gonna leave 100 of you here. We'll take the other 200 wherever the fuck we're going." And I wonder how they chose. They're like, "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe." Like, how do you choose which person

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 54:19

of servants versus, you know, different important people

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 54:31

I'm sure there were some people that were like, "How exciting to, like, colonize this new untouched land."

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 55:06

And then the families

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 55:12

We'll be fine. Stop freaking out. Don't worry about it. Until then, sure that the native people are just gonna show us some hospitality and, and just casually feed 100 extra people."

a couple months later, the tigers were paired finally. Grenville fucked off and went back to England. He's like, You guys are gonna be fine. There's more food coming. Whatever, I'm gonna go do my thing." He took a detour. He captured a Spanish ship on his way back and, stole a bunch of gold, and then got back to England. And to Queen Elizabeth he was like, "Hey, look at all this fucking gold I brought with me." And Queen Elizabeth is like, Oh my goodness, Walter, this New World thing is going great so far. Look at how profitable it is. It, this is crazy." though, like, none of the gold had actually come from the colony, you know?

Back at the colony that fall, by October, the colonists had run out of food. so they went around to different villages in the area begging for food, and th- they gave them stuff to eat. Um, they ate a bunch of corn, venison, and oysters over the winter

So fasting, fasting forward, fast-forwarding. Well, they were fasting forward, I guess, 'cause they were starving. through the winter, most of spring, basically they mostly starved, and a bunch of stuff happened, that resulted in a bunch of hostile interactions and bloodshed on both sides. There were murders back and forth, raids on villages. They're l- just, like, burning villages to the ground. They're taking hostages.

so they got back to England, and Walter's a little discouraged. He's like, "Aw, man, it didn't work. But I'm gonna try again. I still have four years left before my contract is up." And unfortunately, because of everything that had happened on Roanoke Island, all of the conflict and the burning of crops, and the murders and kidnappings and whatnot, he was like, "Okay, we can't go back to Roanoke. We're gonna go inland," and found Raleigh, North Carolina. It was still Virginia, but that's what he wanted to do. He's like, "We're gonna go inland." And he appointed a dude named John White to lead this expedition. John White had been part of the first expedition as a civilian artist, so he went along literally to like document everything through pictures and drawings and whatnot, it makes sense that you would send someone to do that. But I don't know if he had leadership experience or not, or if he was an arti- I don't know. But he's like, "You're in charge now. Go ahead." So White brought his 18-year-old pregnant daughter, Eleanor, Eleanor Dare, and 114 other colonists, including women and children this time, to colonize. On July 22nd, 1587, they arrived at the island. They did a short stop to check in with some guys that Grenville had stationed there, 'cause they were intending to go inward. But when they talked to the, to the Grenville dudes, for some reason they told them they had to get off of the boats and stay at Roanoke instead of going inland. I don't know why. but they were like, "Okay. Sure." And they got off and started setting up the island. They settled in. Apparently the former fort was destroyed and, quote, "Overgrown with melons."

though there were 115 English people there too, military guys and families, and they had just spent months together cramped on a boat, and now they're in a stressful situation of trying to set up a settlement, you know? But no, it was probably some random mystery person that we have never seen before. yeah, so tensions are high. White is like, "Manteo, we gotta talk to your people. we gotta reestablish a good relationship. maybe they can help us befriend the rest of this tribal coalition that hates our guts right now." And so they send out word. They're like, "Hey, can we set up a treaty, please?" But nobody gets back to them. They, they're just ghosted. They're like, "We don't wanna fucking talk to you after the shit that your people pulled." Understandable after they didn't hear anything back, White said, "You know what? gonna be proactive here. Let's just kill everybody.

they go to this nearby village that they think the guy that killed George Howe was probably from there. when they get there, the village has been evacuated, 'cause they knew that they were gonna get fucked up, so they're like, "Okay, guys, we gotta get outta here. We gotta go somewhere else." But there were some members of the Croatoan nearby, and the English people were like, "Hey, you guys all look the same," and they attacked them instead, cause they thought that they were part of the enemy group.

They were gonna have to stretch everything until the planned return, but, but they were like, "We can make it a couple months until you guys get back here." They told George White, "Hey, you better go with them. You better go to England and let everybody know that we're kind of fucked right now. Things are really hostile. We're low on food. people are starting to get sick." So George White agreed, and he set off on August 27th, but he reported feeling apprehensive and uneasy. He was like, "I had a bad feeling." At the time, he did not know, but he would never see his family again He got back to England in November. So they left in August, got back in November, so I guess it took like three months or so, which that sounds horrible. imagine being pregnant on the way over, too.

when he got back to England, he learned that the Spanish, who the English had been, like, attacking and fucking over and whatnot, they gathered an armada and they were getting ready to attack. So Queen Elizabeth forbid any ships from leaving. She's like, "You guys gotta stay here in case we get attacked. I need you to defend, and also if you leave, you're probably just gonna get, taken over by the Spanish anyway." So White's like, "Okay, fuck. I guess I gotta hunker down here. We're not getting any food back to Roanoke this winter." Finally, in March, White was granted special permission to leave with Grenville, the original guy, because Grenville was on his way to the Caribbean to attack the Spanish, and he was like, "Yeah, we can swing by on the way, drop off some stuff." But when they tried to leave, the weather fucked them over, and they had to return. they're delayed again. Then in April, White left without Grenville. He's like, "I'm just gonna take these two ships. Fuck it, I'm going." but the captains of the ships, because, like, even though you're in charge, the cap- there's still captains of the ships that are in charge of the ships, and the captains are like, "You know what? We're gonna take a detour, and we're gonna capture some Spanish ships so we can get some more money from this trip."

No, they went up through Morocco actually. So they, they went that way instead. They're like, "We're not in a hurry." They're- it's not like there are people starving to death in Virginia or anything. It's fine. instead of successfully attacking the Spanish, they were captured by French pirates who looted them, took all of their supplies, and killed 24 of their men.

After that, they had to head back to England, obviously. Queen Elizabeth kept England locked down for two more years. No more shipping was allowed across the ocean until George White was finally granted permission again in 1590

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:09:53

he's got his eye on it. He, like, had to rustle up some investors and whatnot to fund this, this last-ditch effort to get over there. he's desperate. So he sets up White to accompany a privateering group. He's like, "This isn't the main part of the mission, but you're- we're gonna send you over with them." and since he was a guest, essentially, he had to stop along the way and, like, raid and pillage and whatnot, you know, as you do. This time nothing went horribly wrong. Thankfully, they made it. And they made it back to the area on August 17th, 1590, almost three years exactly after he had left. From a distance on the island, they saw a plume of smoke rising up. but because of the weather conditions that night, they could not get there until after the sun had already set. It was dark out, and they didn't wanna risk traveling on land in potentially hostile territory at night, so they just hunkered down in the ship and sang English songs all night, hoping that the colonists would hear them and be comforted.

White finally set foot onto Roanoke Island on August 18th, Skye's birthday, 1590, on what would have been his, granddaughter's third birthday. Again, they see a plume of smoke from a distance, but when they arrived at the settlement, there was no fire. There were no people either. The houses had been broken down dismantled, picked over clean. There were no bodies, fresh or otherwise, and they found no graves. So nobody had been buried there in the three years since he'd left. Just no, no sign of any life. The only evidence of what had happened were two carvings into trees. One said Croatoan, and the other had three letters, C-R-O. The colonists of Roanoke Island were never found, and they became known as the Lost Colony Over the years, several attempts were made to investigate the disappearance, over the next few decades. Walter himself, he was like, "I'm gonna set out. I'm gonna search for them. I'm gonna find these guys because, you know, my whole career is kind of like hinging on this." but then

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:12:31

find them? Yeah

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:12:33

he, he set out. He's like, "I'm gonna sail over there." But later he confessed that he had never intended to go search for them. He used the expedition as an excuse to go down to South America to look for El Dorado.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:12:46

He just wanted a vacation

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:12:48

Mm-hmm.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:12:49

wanted to find the City of Gold

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:12:51

Yeah. Apparently he sailed back up north and like past the Outer Banks but didn't stop.

flipped them the bird on the way

Yeah. he's like, "Ha ha."

when he was passing by.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:13:04

he never set foot on North American soil.

dude sucks ass

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:13:08

Yeah. In 1603, a dude named Bartholomew Gilbert tried to find them, and he failed. John Smith of, Jamestown, you know, from Pocahontas, uh, he looked for them between 1607 when they arrived in Virginia and 1609. Didn't find them. William Strachey, Strachey, tried to look for them between 1610 and 1612. He was super religious and came up with a bunch of theories about how the Powhatan religion was satanic, and needed to be cleansed ethnically. Uh, and he demanded of Queen Elizabeth that the Powhatan people should be spared and then converted to Christianity. but they needed to kill all of the satanic priests

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:13:55

Right

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:13:57

So, yeah. Samuel Purchase tried in 1625, John Lawson tried in 1701. So this was something that was, like, on a lot of people's minds. It was like, it was like John Benet, you know? Where are these people?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:14:15

couldn't have just disappeared.

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:14:17

Lost but not forgotten

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:14:19

Do we think that they just joined the Croatoan people? Like, did they...

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:14:23

So that, that's what I'm getting to. There are several theories about what potentially happened.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:14:27

of the theories

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:14:29

Nothing has been concretely proven to this day. No bodies or human remains at all have ever been found. In 1588, during the time when they were there alone, there was a hurricane reported in Cuba that potentially made its way up the coast, which, would have exacerbated their starvation had it hit. climate studies, They studied a bunch of tree rings and whatnot, and deduced that there was, like, a really bad drought between 18- or between 1587 and 1589, which also would've decimated their food supply. The Spanish may have attacked them, but again, there were no bodies, It's unlikely that the Spanish would just have, like, taken the corpses with them or buried them somewhere else, you know?

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:15:12

would have left them where

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:15:14

There's no sign of burned remains or anything like that. One theory is that they moved into the Chesapeake Bay, because the Algonquian people told a story of white colonists engaging in a battle before Jamestown was established, and it's possible that these were the, the people of the Lost Colony. They may have traveled inland through the Albemarle Sound. There was a site found around there that kind of looks like it may have once been a fort, just in how the impression in the ground was. archeological investigations found no villages, no artifacts, no remains, nothing in the area. What people think is most likely, obviously due to the carving in the tree and also the fact that they had this, alliance with the Croatoan, they probably moved south to what is now Hatteras and just joined up with them, and they have found artifacts on Hatteras that link to the Lost Colony. Most notably, they found the handle of a rapier. Is that how you say it? Rapier.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:16:16

so

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:16:17

the sword

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:16:18

Rapier, yeah. But again, they had an alliance, and they were friendly, and it's possible that there had been trade due to the famine. Like, they may have been trading

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:16:28

Also, it makes sense that, like, if they were gonna uproot and leave that settlement where they knew that they would be found, the note that they leave behind being like, By the way. we're

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:16:38

Yeah. Mm-hmm

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:16:41

you need to find us."

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:16:43

Just find them, you'll find us

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:16:45

was that one of the places that anyone tried

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:16:47

I th- I think that they did and they didn't find them there. early on, that's where... 'Cause when John White was there, he did go down, 'cause it's literally just like a few miles south of where they were, but they didn't find them. also, Hatteras is very small, and it's unlikely that it could have sustained an additional 115 people, And again, no human remains were found. To this day because of all of this, the conflict, the murders, the starvation, which starvation leaves like a lasting impact on areas. I think it has a very strong energetic signature personally. and of course the missing 115 people, can't forget about that. All of that has created a bunch of mystique and intrigue around the island, and it is now purported to be one of the most haunted locations in the entire United States

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:17:44

there's a legend that Virginia Dare, remember the first child that was born in Virginia, was transformed into a white deer. I don't know why. it's probably because there were white deer seen in the area.

Symbol of innocence. I, ain't never seen one

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:18:29

soul sisters. After midnight, in the glow of the street lamps, a woman in black may be seen walking down the street with her head bowed, as if she's looking at her feet. And this was such a frequent occurrence that it was actually reported on in the paper in 1902. Like, it happened all the time. One man said she had dancing eyes and a black hat that covered most of her face. she was often reported to, actually talk to people, too. to this guy, she materialized from the shadows and she said, "You are not the first married man that I've seen to his home this night." And then she followed him all the way to his front door before dissolving into darkness Yeah.

madeline-libertarian-ii--mad-lib-_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:19:24

yeah,

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:19:42

and there are also two businesses that are reported to be the most haunted on the island. First is the Pioneer Theatre. It opened in 1918 and is, one of the oldest operating movie theaters in the entire

lost-poopy_1_07-12-2026_114018 1:20:19

there are a bunch of reports of odd sounds, electrical issues, the screens turning on and off by itself, which isn't entirely unexpected for a building that's over 100 years old, you know? But employees say that they often hear whispering voices from the projection booth, and when they enter, the voices cease instantly. There's nobody there. It's also said that one of the previous owners had a deep hatred of cell phones, and multiple people have stated that when they had their phone out, like texting or whatever during a movie, it was physically knocked from their hands onto the ground.

zak-bagans-from-ghost-adventures--he-haunt-_1_07-12-2026_114105 1:20:58

he was the town's postmaster, and he loved his job. He, had the same route. He, you know, delivered all the mail and whatnot. He loved it. But in 1934, he received a letter from the US Postal Service. Because of the Great Depression, the post office location on the island was being closed, and he was being let go. So he got fired, and as a result, he fell into his own Great Depression and reportedly locked himself into the house, rarely to be seen, even by his own wife Three years later, in 1937, his wife turned the house into an inn because they needed some form of income. And even though the home was often filled with guests, Roscoe Klonkton Jones stayed hidden and reclusive, probably pissed off that people were invading his space.

Um, there are also reports of other occurrences, typical, you know, like blinds and curtains fluttering when there are no windows open, vases being smashed on their own, radios turning on and off, and of course, the sound of pacing footsteps coming from the top floor where Roscoe's room was

In 2005, a couple staying there, uh, noticed that their jewelry had been moved around, and they were pissed off and, like, accused the staff of messing with their stuff. like nothing was stolen, it was just moved. And then that night, they're in the room, um, probably bitching about the staff, and they watch the jewelry box open by itself.

And of course, there's just the general feeling of being watched everywhere you go. Nadine Daniels, a longtime resident, says, "Our house sits on the corner of Devon Street and Cemetery Lane."

It was like she was speaking to somebody and just carrying on, and she was the only one in the bedroom."

Her daughter was two years old at the time, and Nadine said, uh, or her daughter said that she was talking to Margaret. And Nadine was like, "Okay, that's weird. Imaginary friend, whatever." But then later on as they're doing renovations, she finds an old piece of paper in the walls, um, and it was addressed... It was, like, a letter that was addressed to Miss Margaret.

I don't know. I don't think so. Not that I actually talk to. finally, Angel Corey, who is a local author, she says while living on the island she's had tons of unexplainable experiences, and here's, here's a quote from her that I love: "When you're walking through the woods at night, you feel it. It's here. The Lost Colony mystery, just everything is here." And that's the 400-year-old unsolved mystery of the Lost Colony and the hauntings of Roanoke Island. Thank you very

Oh, for sure it has. In South Carolina? Absolutely. 'Cause at first I thought that I was just getting the Gs mixed up, River, with your top- topic, and I was like, "Okay, if this is taking place in Georgia, like, there's some spooky, ooky, ooky stuff."
