Dia de Muertos Ghost Stories

WEBVTT

1
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:08.279
Hi everyone. This is Christina and
this is MJ. And this is another

2
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:13.320
episode of As Spooky Tells, the
podcast for All Things As Spooky, And

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.920
we have the other Morto stories today, the other Dad. Yes, we

4
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:22.559
do. Well. For once,
we're like right on topic because this is

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:26.359
gonna come out Friday, the twenty
seventh, I think, and then like

6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.559
you know, that's the weekend of
the aln Morto's basically yeah, and I

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:36.399
start my celebrations on the twenty seventh, so perfect. But first I think

8
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.920
we have some things to address.
Are we doing that first? Yes?

9
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.520
Yes, yeah, let's do that. Yeah, it was. I mean,

10
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:51.479
as everyone knows, Gaza is being
bombed to oblivion. It seems like

11
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:59.079
Israel's goal is to fully finish their
active genocide, right, yes, And

12
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.920
like we wouldn't be as Spooky Tells
if we didn't address it, because like

13
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.680
we talk about colonization and how it
affects the stories and legends and myths that

14
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.040
we hear today in Latin America.
So yeah, maybe someone's listening and they're

15
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:17.040
like, stay in your lane,
but no, we have to talk about

16
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.959
this because this is fucking terrible.
It's terrible, and it affects us all

17
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.000
because right now the global politics,
everyone's talking about World War three and we

18
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.480
don't know what the hell the higher
ups are gonna do. We honestly don't

19
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.159
know. It affects us all.
And it's also so like hypocritical, not

20
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.079
hypocritical, but so like ignorant to
be like, oh, world War three

21
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.400
when there's parts of the of the
world that, yeah, that's true,

22
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.120
this is their every day. That
is true, like Gaza, you know,

23
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.680
but for people who live in a
comfortable home, like you know,

24
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.879
it's I don't know. I guess
like I've been posting up about it a

25
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.599
long time, and I'm noticing that
everybody continues like nothing's happening, And I

26
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.719
realize that we are very much addicted
to that, to the comforts that we

27
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.840
have. We have electricity, we
have running water, and all this shit

28
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:13.360
seems like it's so far away,
but it does affect you. You are

29
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.599
the one paying for it, but
with your taxes. Yeah, you are

30
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:24.400
part of the web. I guess
that we're all interconnected and we're all affecting

31
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.879
it. It all affects us.
And if you're if you don't want to

32
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.960
believe it, that's you know,
I can't I can't force I can't force

33
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.159
you, but understand that it is
something that's going to affect us all and

34
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.759
has been affecting us all. I
didn't even realize how affected I was by

35
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.639
the stuff that's been going on for
seventy five years until all this stuff happened

36
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:53.879
because they've been educated by Palestinian leaders
and POC leaders that have been like telling

37
00:02:53.960 --> 00:03:01.000
and and without like fear, because
for many years it's been scared of talking

38
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.719
about this topic because if you say
something, you're called an anti Semite,

39
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.280
which is kind of ridiculous because to
be a semi you either have to be

40
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.719
Arab or Jewish, and among other
lists, right, like what are semi

41
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:21.479
languages, and which is Hebrew and
Arabic? And I'm like, Palestinians are

42
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:28.039
Arabic, so they are you know, yeah yeah, And it's like Israel

43
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:35.000
or Zionists. It does not equal
being anti Jewish because there's Jewish people themselves

44
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.560
that are not for Zionism. They're
not the same thing. There are many

45
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:45.280
there are so many Jewish people that
are anti Zionism. And Zionism is a

46
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.759
political group and Judaism is the religion, and you have to separate both of

47
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.240
them, because like it's like saying
like, oh, well, I don't

48
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.919
know, like a name, an
extremist group, and then a religion,

49
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.159
and then if you you put them
all together, it's like, well,

50
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.719
that's not the case. You have
the people of this religion that have nothing

51
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.400
to do with the extremists, so
don't mix it together. Yeah. Yeah,

52
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.240
And then there's like people like,
oh, this is like their war,

53
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.879
but this isn't a war. This
is an occupation of a people,

54
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:19.040
a genocide of a people that we
are paying for. It's our money.

55
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.199
Yeah, it's our money, and
it pisses me off. Yeah. I

56
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.360
saw this meme like a couple of
days ago that was like Peter Parker and

57
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.639
the friend. I can't even remember
the friend's name. It's like the original

58
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:36.680
Spider Man movies. It's James Franco's
character. I just don't know the name.

59
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.839
Henry. No, Harry, Harry, Harry, yes, Harry.

60
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.279
Wow, I'm surprised. And you
know, the meme is like Peter Parker

61
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:46.639
asking him, Hey, have you
heard about what's going on in the Middle

62
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.519
East? And then Harry is like, please, I'm working six jobs to

63
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.199
pay three thousand dollars in rent.
I don't have time to think about the

64
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.879
Middle East. And it's like that
money that we should be getting for healthcare,

65
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.040
for our taxes, all of that
is being used to send more and

66
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:13.720
more aid to aid Israel and genocide
exactly, exactly exactly, And that's I

67
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.680
think that's what pisses me off because
I have a friend who said, no

68
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.240
matter if you're a Democrat or Republican
or any other political view in the United

69
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.000
States, we're all eating shit,
and that is so true because we do

70
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:30.839
not have health care. The prices
of food are going up. I mean,

71
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.839
it's gotten so bad that even I've
been limiting to what I really buy.

72
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.519
And my husband's a federal worker,
so let's start there, like,

73
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.519
how is the hell does a federal
worker in today's economy like you still have

74
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.399
to be careful with what you buy? And then gas prices are going up

75
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:53.519
and it literally takes a fraction probably
of what our taxes you know, that

76
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:58.240
are sent to Israel could do to
help people here. We have homelessness is

77
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:03.040
skyrocketing. People can't buy homes.
Yeah, we didn't have money for that,

78
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:08.160
but we have money for this,
Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's

79
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.600
just terrible and a lot of people
think that, like it's just the United

80
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.399
States, we're well off. Actually, now there's so many people that starve

81
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.040
here. A lot of people are
malnourished. A lot of people don't have

82
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:23.519
the money to pay their medical bills. Yeah. Yeah, and to know

83
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.120
that things that could be used in
aiding and helping and in good things,

84
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.079
things that are good, like helping
people eat, helping people. But there's

85
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:40.040
this thing too, there's a law
in thirty six states where anything that's funded

86
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.600
by the public or that is part
of the stake cannot protest against Israel.

87
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.759
Yeah, and people that are like
calling them out are getting fired from their

88
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.160
jobs. But like I mean,
you know, there's protests going on.

89
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:59.040
People are protesting against these atrocities,
and there is I'll put a link in

90
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.160
the show notes. There's a I
don't remember what it stands for, like

91
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:09.680
BDS, like boycott so you boycott
specific company so that it affects Israel more

92
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.920
like Puma HP McDonald's. No,
that's not one of the book parts.

93
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.879
That's part of the BDS. Oh
is it not? That I know,

94
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:24.439
like McDonald's donates to Israel, So
people are doing McDonald's and Starbucks. Yeah,

95
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.560
but like, well, at some
point the companies are too much where

96
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:34.680
you can't boycott everything, it's like
physically impossible. So that's why Palestinians themselves

97
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:40.240
came up with the BDS. Well, McDonald's nobody needs it. It's like

98
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:45.319
poisoning your body, so people should
have been limiting that shit forever, and

99
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.920
Starbucks with these with this economy,
I've been limiting my Starbucks anyway, so

100
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.959
it's gone completely now and I'm currently
looking for a for a mom and pop

101
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.600
shop. So yeah, so for
me, it's like not hard to do

102
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.759
that, but when you start looking
at all the companies, it's too much.

103
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.120
It's really too much, it is. And also, yeah, why

104
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.360
they made that BDS thing. Pestinis
themselves did, and so I know for

105
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:16.839
sure Puma and HP and HPR on
there. Yeah, but also like Walmart

106
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.120
is also one, and I would
want people to be cautionary with this and

107
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.920
don't feel bad if you cannot boycott, because I know for many places,

108
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.879
Walmart is the only place that's available
for food. Yeah, this is why

109
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.080
the BDS thing exists, because like
I said, at some point, it's

110
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.559
you can to such a boycott everything, but those specific ones you can it's

111
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.559
not hard to do those like,
that's why they created that. Let me

112
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.240
find it though, so that people
know. So the BDS movement is what

113
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.399
came out of Palestine itself to know
what's boycott because it's targeted. So that's

114
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:58.080
HP Simons, which I don't know
what that is Simons. I don't know

115
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:05.480
what that is either. Ax A
is they fund like Israeli banks Puma Puma

116
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.240
and then produce from Israel and so
to stream. Oh yeah, so did

117
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.360
I never use that? I was
like, yeah, so those are the

118
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.399
specific ones that are easy to like
target, which is why that exists.

119
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.840
But then of course if you can
easily do like the other ones on the

120
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.799
list, that list is huge,
but this is specific and I'll put that

121
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:31.320
link in the show notes so people
can see as well. And then yeah,

122
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.559
just like no, we stand with
Palestine. There's also I think I

123
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.399
showed it to MJ. But there's
like companies you know the Palestine, like

124
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:46.600
people use this like headscarf or scar
specific kafa. Yes, yeah, so

125
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.159
there's companies you can buy them from
and the money they're straight from Palestine,

126
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.159
made by Palestinians, and the money
goes to them when you purchase one.

127
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.720
I'll put a link in the show
notes as well if anyone wants to do

128
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.279
that to like try and sense support
and like, yeah, our hearts are

129
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:07.360
with Palestine. We will never stand
with the oppressor, which is Israel and

130
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:13.440
Scionism. And that does not mean
we are anti Jewish. Those things are

131
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.840
not the same. And I mean, like maybe I don't know someone out

132
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.799
there that listens is like, oh
no, they're supporting terrorism. First of

133
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.519
all, No, like this is
this history goes way back. It's not

134
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:30.440
just something that started on October seventh
exactly. I just did me and Carmen

135
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.519
did in Yestodia is Aknown episode that's
going to be out on Thursday, so

136
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.840
the day before this, where we
go into more of the history of Palestine

137
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.759
as well as Palestinian history in Latin
America, if anyone wants to listen to

138
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.080
that for a little more background,
but also just like look up things from

139
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.399
like Palestinian people themselves, right,
yes, yes, and follow Palestinian leaders

140
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:56.480
too, especially uh social movement leaders. I think that's the best place to

141
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.519
get the information from. But yeah, and with that, I would also

142
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.279
like to say, just because I'm
also saying a lot of rhetoric right now.

143
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.720
Just because you don't agree with Israel
does not give you the right to

144
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:15.799
be to say hateful Jewish things.
Because again, Zionism and Judaism are two

145
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.240
different things. Okay, one of
them isn't a one of them is a

146
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:24.440
religion, the other one is a
political movement. Yeah, yes, yeah,

147
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.519
yeah for sure. And yeah,
like I already said, like,

148
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.000
I mean, we've already said it, I don't know what else there is

149
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.840
to say, just like this is
I don't know, how can people just

150
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.240
like stand by and watch a whole
ass country I know, and I'm seeing

151
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.039
it a lot. I'm seeing it
a lot, and it's it's heartbreaking because

152
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.879
Latinos, Oh my god, so
some Latinos love Israel and it has to

153
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:54.000
do with Christianity. Christianity our Bible
talks about how Israel, the Holy Land,

154
00:11:54.159 --> 00:12:00.840
is going to bring forth the whatever, which also is Yeah, I

155
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.559
just I don't get it. But
I mean in these specific countries, there's

156
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:11.440
also been protests people standing up for
Palestine. So yeah, yeah, I

157
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.799
mean we can go on forever.
Did you also want to talk about the

158
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.000
Otto MEI yes, And actually there's
a lot of stuff going on around the

159
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.440
world right now, which I briefly
discussed. But yes, the atom people

160
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.799
of Mexico have been targeted by the
Mexican government. When was it I can't

161
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.200
wait wait before you continue with that. This also reminds me. I've seen

162
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:39.240
Mexican flags at protests for Palestine and
like the Mexican flag himself. Yeah,

163
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.960
I'm Mexican too, but this is
also a settler colonial flag that oppresses indigenous

164
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.960
people in Mexico. So why don't
leave the flag at home? Leave that

165
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.799
Mexican flag alone. Yeah, yeah, leave it, leave it at home

166
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.600
until Mexico gets its shipped together and
does reparations and actually gives a fuck about

167
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.559
indigen and as people leave it at
home. We me and Christine are both

168
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.120
Mexican, you know, uh,
but we just like everything. Just like

169
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.759
we call out bullshit here in the
United States, we have to call out

170
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:16.840
bullshit in our Mexico. Yeah.
Yes, the Otomi people were attacked by

171
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.960
the Mexican government. And for people
who don't know, they are an indigenous

172
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.879
group and they have asked for basic
human rights like the right to have electricity,

173
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.080
running water, land and all this
shit and you know stuff that like,

174
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.960
I mean, like basic stuff that
people should have, and they live

175
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.759
in like I think, I want
to say, like in a community building

176
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:46.039
and they were like attacked by the
Mexican government and people aren't really talking about

177
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.360
it and for protesting, right,
like a protest yes, because again the

178
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.840
Mexican government was like, hey,
we're going to give you the basic necessities.

179
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.679
And it's been like three two or
three years and the Mexican government still

180
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.679
hasn't given them jacks because again,
their land was taken for like other things,

181
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.679
and they were put in these like
yes, it's not a reservation because

182
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.000
Mexico doesn't use reservations, right,
but it's essentially in practice the same thing.

183
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.960
Their land was taken. They were
placed in this building and then in

184
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.480
yeah, it's like a community building, is yeah, And they were like

185
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.440
they're trying to be like evicted from
it, which is like crazy. It's

186
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.960
like where there, Where are this
entire like group of people supposed to go?

187
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.720
You took everything from them. They
don't they don't have access like the

188
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.879
rest of you know, uh,
I guess Mexico does with running water,

189
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.960
electricity and all this stuff. Where
are they going to go? So they

190
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.720
were attacked by the Mexican government,
and I think it's something that we need

191
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:48.919
to highlight again standing with indigenous people
who are oppressed. Yes, and yeah,

192
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.159
it's just just please you guys,
research it and please. I'm seeing

193
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.480
a lot of racism too from Mexican
nationals towards the Ottomi people and that is

194
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.840
not okay. I I oh my
god, I saw this girl who says,

195
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.320
well, if they don't like Mexico, they should leave. I'm like,

196
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:07.240
they're indigenous, you dumb bitch.
Yeah, oh my god, Like

197
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.879
you're not supposed to be there.
You get off their land. Yeah.

198
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.399
But and it's stuff like that,
and just you know, you guys,

199
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.600
do your research, educate yourself more, because there's a lot of people around

200
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:24.519
the world currently needing help. There's
again like Haiti is also facing some crazy

201
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:28.840
stuff, I believe patient occupation from
the UK right now and they're they're like,

202
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:35.440
it's getting bad in Haiti, you
guys, Yeah, protesting and Guatemala,

203
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.759
of course, if you listen to
Ustadia asn't known, you'll know how

204
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.600
much Corner and I talk about Asalvador
like it's a lot. And then in

205
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.879
Africa, several countries are also facing
unrest, uh, especially for like Uh,

206
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:56.480
the I guess the remnants and and
it's not even remnants but like a

207
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.440
lot of the stuff that still stems
from colonialism. Uh, a lot of

208
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:07.519
genocide going on there because UK companies
and American companies are quite literally raping their

209
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:14.440
land for minerals and stuff in the
minds and it's killing people there. So

210
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.360
there's a lot of places that need
our focus. And yeah, it's it's

211
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.360
gonna be tough, you guys.
I've been doomscrolling, but you know,

212
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.440
five minutes here, five minutes there, every day, letting people know what

213
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.279
the hell's going on, and I
think, yeah, hopefully we're able to

214
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.519
help those who need help around the
world, because it's it's a lot.

215
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.159
I know it's overwhelming, but what
is it. We can't we can't stay

216
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.039
silent, and we're not going to
for sure, well said Okay, and

217
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:47.320
I don't know how to gracefully say, let's start like the spooky tell us,

218
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.120
but let's start. I'm sorry for
that little bit of like sadness,

219
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:56.320
especially you know, especially for those
of us who've been doomscrolling. And but

220
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:00.519
let's let's get onto some you know, a different topic now, spooky stuff.

221
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:06.920
Yeah, let's get onto our our
episode topic now. So I do

222
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.720
have a very long listener story that
I've been listening listening that I've been saving

223
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:18.720
specifically for this episode because God,
like I think it was months ago now

224
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.839
at least half a year maybe that
this listener sent me this, but it's

225
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.720
a Theamortos story, and so I
wanted to save it for this for this

226
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.880
day. So if you have a
listener story that you want to send in,

227
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:33.920
you can email a Spooky does gmail
dot com. You can dm us

228
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.640
on any of our socials. You
can submit it on Discord. There's this

229
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.759
channel called submit your Scary Story.
So like that's exactly where it goes.

230
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:45.920
Attach a voice note to an email, like there's some there's a lot of

231
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.720
options. I call our Spooky hotline. That it's numbers in the show notes

232
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:56.400
because again, I will never memorize
it. So this story is long.

233
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:03.039
So just you know, saddle up, which is what this listeners how she

234
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.720
started the story. Okay, so
here it goes all right, saddle up.

235
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.839
Here's three connected stories. The first
story is actually my grandpa's. My

236
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:17.440
mom told it to me the first
year we did our altar. My grandpa

237
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.160
didn't celebrate Day of the Dead.
At first, at some point he had

238
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.759
a dream where he looked out the
window and saw people walking lost, of

239
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.519
them holding food and drinks. Then
he saw a group holding nothing. Those

240
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.839
were our ancestors. They had nothing
because no one had an alter for them.

241
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.200
That's when he started building his own, and from that day forward he

242
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.000
told the family how important it was. My grandpa died when I was like

243
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.279
two or even younger. He and
I have birthdays within a day of each

244
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.759
other. I wish I had gotten
to spend time with him. Fast forward

245
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:55.759
to my adulthood, maybe twenty sixteen
or earlier. I want to say.

246
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.119
I grew up in New Jersey,
so I didn't have any Spanish friends really

247
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:03.480
to celebrate, really who celebrate the
holiday and I can share with I had

248
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.960
seen my aunt's alters and everything,
and I felt like we needed to celebrate.

249
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.200
So I put together the most crudely
done altar, but it was done

250
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.839
with love. I put together whatever
I could without knowing much, and off

251
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:17.720
we went. The thing is,
my mom wouldn't help me. She didn't

252
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.000
care much. She wasn't the time
to celebrate it. Despite knowing the previous

253
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:25.160
information. That night, we went
to bed. My mom hadn't cooked that

254
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:29.000
night because we actually had takeout At
this time. I didn't have a car,

255
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.519
so the next morning I had to
wake up and leave for work with

256
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.400
her. We come home the same
time, with neither of us having gone

257
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.680
anywhere but from home to work and
back. When we opened the door,

258
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.960
the smell of onions filled the entire
house. She goes, did you cook?

259
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.960
I was like, no, I
had been with you or at work

260
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.319
the entire time. The smell wasn't
faint to either. It filled the entire

261
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:56.039
house as if someone was cooking right
then and there. My mom tells me

262
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:57.519
she had a dream last night.
She said her mother was in it,

263
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.400
but she couldn't remember what happened.
Then she shared the information that my grandma

264
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:07.839
loved to cook with onions. I
guess she was afraid that my grandma was

265
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:14.559
gonna hala las patas. And from
that day on she started helping me with

266
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:19.759
either buying decorations or making tamales for
the ad Deen Mortos. This story took

267
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.880
place in twenty eighteen, so this
is like an additional story to the first

268
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:29.000
one. This story is from twenty
eighteen. I went to visit my family

269
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.079
in Mexico. They lived in a
very small town. I had wanted to

270
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:34.799
go specifically for the ad Deen Mortos, and I had the chance to finally

271
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.240
go. We went a couple of
days before, so my Tia was getting

272
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:42.880
ready to put up the altar.
My mom and I had gone to the

273
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:48.759
next town over for sempasucchi and papel
picado. We came back and set up

274
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.240
the altar and everything. My Tia
and I made some bread in our old

275
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.440
school outdoor oven. It was a
super wholesome thing. My aunt loves to

276
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:03.599
drink. Though happened my cousin let's
call him Jose. We were watching The

277
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.240
Chilean Adventures of Sabrina. My other
cousin, let's call her Maria, went

278
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:12.680
to sleep because she knew Arthia wouldn't
be home early. It was getting close

279
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:17.279
to eleven thirty and she wasn't home. She was out drinking and we were

280
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.839
talking about how crazy the show is. We waited up because we wanted to

281
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.960
make sure she was okay. Around
midnight, we hear a crack. Both

282
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.319
my cousin Jose and I jump up
and go searching for the noise. We

283
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.440
checked on the dogs on the back
the windows, the kitchen, everything.

284
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.160
We turned on all the lights.
But a short time later, my aunt

285
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.599
came home. We had been calling
her to make sure she was okay,

286
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.920
but she didn't answer. She stumbled
in and says she lost her purse last

287
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:51.759
time she drank. We we told
her what happened. She said, my

288
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:56.000
grandpa hated when she stayed out late
and drank like this. But she was

289
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.680
home safe and so and went to
sleep. The next morning, I went

290
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.440
to the altered to investigate closer.
The pictures looked fine, but then I

291
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.160
got to the candles. The candle
in front of my grandpa's picture was off

292
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.920
clean Across the entire glass was a
crack. The other candles were fine in

293
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:18.480
front of my THEO and my and
everything, but my Grandpa's candle had gone

294
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:23.000
out and cracked. We got super
scared, but we knew he probably meant

295
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.039
well. He was just mad about
my Tia coming home late like that.

296
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:33.960
The rest of the trip, my
patas were under the sheets. That was

297
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.279
the crack, they heard, that's
crazy. The candle hyeh wow, that's

298
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.519
a while that it was so loud
like that. But yeah, that's the

299
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:47.519
story. I Yeah, I would
have died yeah. Same. It's I

300
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:48.920
mean, I guess, like a
scary story, but it's also cute because

301
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.519
like it wasn't something like evil.
It was just like the Grandpa like checking

302
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.200
up on the on the theia that
is, he was like, you need

303
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.960
to get your shit together. Me
huh, yeah. Yeah, that's the

304
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.519
kind of the other mortal story that
you want to really yes, yes,

305
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:10.000
I have too, but one of
them is like my experience from last year.

306
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.880
So it's kind of it's more like
a little footnote, I guess maybe.

307
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.279
Oh, okay, okay, it's
a small story and it's from it

308
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.880
is a it's my own experience.
And I celebrate the other mortals starting on

309
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:27.680
the twenty seventh of October. And
for a little bit of backstory, my

310
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:33.519
grandfather died last year right before the
other mortals on October twenty second, so

311
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:38.039
yesterday was his one year anniversary since
he passed, and so I set up

312
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:45.079
Alfrenda and with my mom, and
then within the first days of the other

313
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.039
mortals, we had a weird stuff
happen. Oh really, yeah, So

314
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:53.200
we would go to bed with the
pictures in place, and every morning my

315
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:59.359
grandfather's picture was moved. When we
woke up. Wow, it was on

316
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.440
the floor day than one day.
It was just tipped over. It was

317
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.680
just weird. It wasn't anything like
crazy or well, but it was like,

318
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:10.200
you know, something like my family
needed, especially because it happened at

319
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:14.519
the time it happened, and like
we were fresh freshly morning while we were

320
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.240
celebrating the other morning and away.
I don't know. It was like in

321
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.599
a weird way, like something we
needed. Yeah, it was just nice

322
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:23.920
because it was like, oh my
god, he's letting us know that he's

323
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:30.519
here and he's watching over the family, especially because his death was like nobody

324
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.160
was it right, Yeah, yeah, no, And don't get me wrong,

325
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:40.400
he was like elderly, but like
not like in the hospital bed sickly,

326
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.680
you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, so he passed away

327
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:48.039
at home. But yeah, it
was it was expected, so it was

328
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.599
a little comforting. Yeah, that's
awesome. I would I would love for

329
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.559
like a sign like that. Yeah, it was. It was really like,

330
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.440
uh, I don't know, it
made everything easier, I guess for

331
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.960
the other Martos. We usually put
up an altar like we always have,

332
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.880
and then my my family Mesico have
always visited the pan like the cemetery on

333
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.799
that day. Whatever alter they put
at home is always so small, but

334
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:19.240
last year would have been the first
then moreto since my grandpa passed away,

335
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:26.079
because he passed away the summer of
last year, so my grand my went

336
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.240
like all out with the altar.
It was like huge and and it had

337
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.680
like because since then another brother of
his passed away after he passed away,

338
00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:41.039
and then one of my aunts myas
I don't remember if it was a brother

339
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.559
of hers too, but since then
there's been like at least three more deaths

340
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.319
like in the family. And so
she put up like all their pictures.

341
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.359
But Mayabulita had like the biggest one. They always get the bread that he

342
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.279
likes. They're called like Lnovia.
It's like this little tourly sugary one.

343
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.759
I'm sure you've seen it, which
is also my favorite one. Like I

344
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:07.559
have this memory where we were all
over there for their I love that.

345
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.759
That was in twenty seventeen, when
October twenty seventeen actually, and we were

346
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.559
all over there and he came back
with a giant ass like the biggest novia

347
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.039
and bread that I have ever seen, and he was like this is just

348
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.240
for me and and Christina because that's
our favorite bread. I love that.

349
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:27.640
But so may Arita had the altar
up and the candle that she had her

350
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:32.079
phot of like she was she would
every day. Was it was like the

351
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:36.119
cutest thing because she sent like videos
of the altar every day and she's like,

352
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.119
the smoke is taller today, Like
I think he's showing us that he's

353
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:44.480
here. I love that, And
like sure someone could look into and like,

354
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.920
oh, that's just like wishful,
like you're wishing it into existence.

355
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.799
But like my candles didn't do that
here, you know. Yeah, so

356
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.319
I think it's a sign. I
do think it's a sign. I was

357
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:57.880
watching them like, oh is there
Am I going to get a sign?

358
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:00.960
Like but no, I don't get
anything here. Obviously I still put up

359
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:06.119
the altar and everything, but like
her altar over there. I swear.

360
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.599
There was one video where the smoke
almost looks like it's making a heart shape

361
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.319
like that, Oh that's what it
looks like that And we have the video.

362
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.319
I had to dig it up from
my my What's app folder like album,

363
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.119
But yeah, I mean, just
uh, I just like I do

364
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:26.839
think. I do think sometimes we
do get maybe an extra visit now,

365
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.519
Sammy screaming, Oh my god,
I can we forgot what I was saying,

366
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:37.319
and I'm eating a sniggers now where
I've been eating my kids Halloween Kenny.

367
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.279
I was like, I shouldn't be
doing this. No, you were

368
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.200
talking about how some people were gonna
be like that's not a sign. But

369
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.079
to you was, oh, yeah, yeah, I do believe that we

370
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.920
could get like an extra visit that
maybe we wouldn't get another day on theos.

371
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.200
Yeah. Sam, Sorry, I'm
like I said that was candy.

372
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:03.559
I'm shot your snickery. But yeah, you can go to your second story.

373
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:10.960
Okay, so this is my second
story. And before I get to

374
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.920
the story, I could already hear
that's not how my family celebrates it.

375
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.960
Okay. So there is no I
feel like right or wrong way to celebrate

376
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:23.200
this. There's so many ways to
celebrate it. However, I do want

377
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.799
in my belief it is a close
practice, because I very much think you

378
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:33.480
do have to have ancestral ties or
else. It's just it's not the other

379
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.920
more of those right, Like,
it's it's very much an ancestral thing that

380
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.599
it's like three thousand years old.

399
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.920
will add though, like, I
don't know when my family started celebrating it.

400
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:17.200
As far as I know, we
are not like like obviously everyone says

401
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:19.319
there's a little bit of like indigenous, and that's part of like MESSI sache.

402
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.400
I don't like follow that right,
I don't like Sure, maybe somewhere

403
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.240
down the line there was, but
whatever it was, we've lost connection to

404
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:32.200
it. In my family in Mexico, I don't know like what it would

405
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.599
have been at all. So I
don't know when we started celebration celebrating the

406
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.400
Alen Mortos because, like my mom
said, they didn't do it when she

407
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.960
was a kid, but when she
got here she started doing it. And

408
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.759
she was in Oakland, she saw
the other Mortos festivals and the altars,

409
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.000
and I think one of my one
of her grandpa's had just her I think

410
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:53.599
it was me below my great grandpa
had just passed away, and so she

411
00:30:53.720 --> 00:30:57.480
wanted to do it too for him, and that's when she started doing it.

412
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:00.759
And like, I had no idea
that we didn't grow up like that.

413
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.079
It was not a thing we've done
forever, just because we've done it

414
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.160
forever with her, So like I
don't have I don't think I have ancestral

415
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:11.119
ties to it in that way either, I think you do. And because

416
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:14.759
I'm gonna say one thing, because
a lot of people who are not allowed

417
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.799
to practice their religion and their ancestral
religious religion thing, you know, because

418
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.279
it's like either you convert or we
kill you. And if you celebrate this

419
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.480
body, we're gonna kill you.
That doesn't mean you don't have ancestors who

420
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:30.680
are continuously looking after you who did
celebrate this and it was the religion right

421
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.039
right, true? True. I
don't know where I was going with that,

422
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:41.079
so gold Okay, So I'm gonna
give a little of a background for

423
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:48.200
the next story. And this next
story comes from on YouTube. The episodes

424
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.640
are all in Spanish, so if
you are a Spanish speaker, it's fantastic.

425
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:55.680
But for our Spanish challenge friends,
I bring you a story from the

426
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:01.160
channel in the communities of the Sapotec
people of eat More. The one Tepic.

427
00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:07.039
The other Morto is called Chandu.
This celebration starts nine days before the

428
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:13.119
mortos. They create these beautiful overrendas
with beautiful arches that are made out of

429
00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:19.200
banana leaves, flowers and have a
wooden base representing the entrance to the underworld.

430
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:24.079
The Sapotec people would then have a
very extensive offering. The food must

431
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:29.039
be given for breakfast, which means
the Sapotec people would start cooking the night

432
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:32.920
prior. They would cook a breakfast
feast, including making homemade hot tortillas right

433
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:39.240
off the command frijoles layuda la yudas
and I mean all the Mexican breakfast fixings

434
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:45.200
caela, and they would wait for
the biyok show. I don't know how

435
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:46.960
to spell it, so I only
wrote down the pronunciation, So please don't

436
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.920
come for me. But this biok
show is the wind of the dead,

437
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:57.440
the old wind, and this viento
of the other Los Mortos would start early

438
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.279
in the morning on the first day
of Shandu. It's a sign that there

439
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:05.200
are that they the mortos, you
know, the spirits of the dead are

440
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.319
coming. Once they feel the old
wind come, they start moving to the

441
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:13.839
oreanda, they start moving like all
the food and stuff. By midday,

442
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:17.240
new food is put out, rice
stews, more freshly made tortillas, and

443
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.039
more drinks and all the fixings for
a Mexican lunch. However, this isn't

444
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:27.440
so simple. When it comes to
a Suppletick celebration, one must be careful

445
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.880
who the ofrenda is, for it
is believed that the trek to the afterlife

446
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:36.680
takes three months, so only those
who have died before August should be on

447
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:40.480
the ofrenda, because if a person
died after August is put on the afrenda,

448
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:45.240
you may pull them from their travel
to the afterlife and mess up their

449
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:51.039
journey and they stay on earth and
you risk their wrath. There's a story

450
00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:58.119
from Huchitan. The Saragoza in Wahaka
Reslora tells the story. And Rasalas are

451
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.519
people, mostly women, who pray
for the dead and guide them, especially

452
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:06.160
those souls who've had a violent death. Their prayers are usually in Latin and

453
00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:10.159
suppultick in this area. Usually when
a person dies of natural causes, people

454
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:15.159
pray for them and the uronas,
women who are contracted to will for the

455
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:20.039
deceased, so they have willing accompany
them to the afterlife. Wow, this

456
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:25.159
is amazing. Yeah, this is
so like like, I don't know what

457
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:30.280
the word is that I'm looking for. I never knew about this until I

458
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.039
read this episode, and it was
so intrigued. But when the person dies

459
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:37.719
of violent death, it is important
to bring a resala to guide them to

460
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:43.320
help them. It's called levantarre morto
in English. It literally translates to raise

461
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.480
the dead. The ress go to
the place that the deceased died and through

462
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:51.920
their prayers they raise up the dead
and walk them to the afterlife. Wow.

463
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:54.760
One Drassala has a story. One
day she was walking to her car

464
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:59.400
after work at night, she hears
the voice of a man who when sappultick,

465
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:02.760
tell they murdered me under the tamarind
tree. Lift me up with one

466
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.079
of your prayers so I can return
for a cup of water. His family

467
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.360
had placed an ofrenda for the other
mortals with a cup of water. The

468
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:14.559
Rassaalota was also a medium and knew
such things, which is how she was

469
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:17.280
able to perceive them. The voice
of the man told her his name.

470
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.519
The next morning that Rassaaloda returned to
the place she heard the man and there

471
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:25.360
was in fact a tamarind tree.
She asked around for the man's name,

472
00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:30.159
and she was able to locate the
man's family. She visited them and finds

473
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.880
out that he had been dead longer
than three months. He was murdered right

474
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:37.320
under the tree and was found days
later. He bled out and died.

475
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.920
Wow. She confirms the facts the
man told her with his family. She

476
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:45.760
then returns to the place of his
murder with help and begins her prayers to

477
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:50.519
raise the dead. The family all
day didn't feel the old wind, and

478
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.199
just as they were about to remove
the offerings from the Ofranda, the wind

479
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:57.679
of the dead came. Her prayers
worked and he was able to have his

480
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:02.679
drink of water. And that is
my second story. Wow, that's beautiful.

481
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:09.599
Yes, I love that. I
didn't know it was so uh intricate

482
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:14.519
and so yes intricate. Oh my
god, that's I was like, what

483
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:17.440
is the word that I'm looking for? That? Was it so complex?

484
00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:22.119
And yeah, there's so many other
moving components because I feel like this is

485
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:28.599
just like a like a sped through
version of what their culture really is like

486
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.679
and what their beliefs really are like. So I yeah, it's beautiful and

487
00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:35.800
in this particular episode, which I
did link in the in the notes.

488
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.800
He has several other stories. I
think about like three or four other stories

489
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:47.880
that are equally as wow and have
to do with put this tradition in particular

490
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:53.239
where it's it's uh sepletheic beliefs.
Wow. I got to listen to those.

491
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.000
Yes, i'll send you the link. It's it's in the notes,

492
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.599
but i'll send it to you directly, and I will try to remember to

493
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.000
put it in the show notes.
Okay, I have one more short one.

494
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:08.159
This was found by Dawn on a
website that I cannot remember, but

495
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:12.920
it's a website where people submit their
own scary stories and it was in Spanish

496
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.239
translated it thank you, Don and
yeah, I wish I remember the website,

497
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:20.000
but I haven't written down somewhere.
I just don't feel like looking for

498
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:22.280
it right now. I'll try to
remember to also put it in the show

499
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:28.000
notes. Okay, So here is
that story. My name is Kernimo.

500
00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:32.119
I'm currently forty eight years old,
and this marks eighteen years since this event

501
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:36.679
happened. I admit that prior to
this event, I had always been skeptical

502
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.800
about the supernatural, but this event
changed my perception. Let me start by

503
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:45.199
saying that I lived in Nesa,
Gualco, Yot, Mexico, and worked

504
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:52.079
in now Now. Of course,
now I'm like stuttering with this word,

505
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:55.360
and worked in now Galpan. That
one was harder for some reason, but

506
00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.519
it looks easier, wow, whatever, which is on the other side of

507
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:04.039
the city. So in order to
get to work, I had to leave

508
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.920
my house by five in the morning. During the time this incident happened,

509
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:12.360
I was renting a home in the
neighborhood of Las Mara Villas and lived with

510
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:15.320
my two daughters and my wife while
my brother in law, Pedro, and

511
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:19.400
his family rented the house next door. The week this happened, though,

512
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:22.199
Pedro and his wife had been arguing, so he had left and was staying

513
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:27.960
with one of his brothers, Vicente, so I didn't expect to see him.

514
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:30.559
But one morning I got up early
and got ready for work like I

515
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:34.559
usually do. On my way out
of the house, I saw a man

516
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.800
standing outside Pedro's house as if he
was waiting for the door to open.

517
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:42.239
When I passed by the man,
I realized that it was Pedro and figured

518
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.000
he had probably stopped by to visit
his son. When I passed by him,

519
00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.320
I said good morning, but I
didn't receive a response. Later,

520
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:52.639
while I was at work, I
received a call from my wife informing me

521
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:57.039
that she was heading to Wahaka with
my two daughters because Pedro had died early

522
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:01.920
in the morning. What how,
what time did it happen? I asked

523
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:06.199
my wife. I saw him this
morning before I came to work, I

524
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:09.239
said. My wife told me that
that bather. Why was I gonna say

525
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:15.719
battle? What the fuck? My
wife told me that Pedro had gone to

526
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:19.559
spend the Day of the Dead with
his parents in Guahaka. While he was

527
00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.239
there, he also decided to go
play basketball on the town's court, where

528
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:28.800
he met several acquaintances. He then
stopped some of his relative's homes since he

529
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:31.719
had planned to leave Wahaka soon.
On the final night he was seen alive,

530
00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:36.039
he spoke with his mother, who
was washing dishes. He told her

531
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:38.400
to leave the chores to the next
morning because it was cold out, so

532
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:42.960
they decided to go to sleep,
But at around three in the morning,

533
00:39:43.719 --> 00:39:46.039
my father in law began to hear
the dog's barking and the horses neighing,

534
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:51.840
so he woke up to check what
was triggering the animals. He realized that

535
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:55.679
his son, Pedro was also making
strange noises. Apparently he had just gone

536
00:39:55.719 --> 00:40:00.679
into respiratory arrest. Unfortunately, the
there were no health centers in town,

537
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:06.480
and within minutes my brother in law
was dead. To be honest, I

538
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:09.199
think that's why Pedro visited his relatives
that weekend. He knew it was the

539
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:14.159
last time he would see them.
That's why the dogs barked and the horses

540
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:19.119
made They knew death was waiting to
take him. I'm also certain it was

541
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.760
him who I saw outside his house
almost an hour after he died in Guahaka.

542
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:28.679
I believe his spirit went to say
bye to his son. Yes,

543
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:35.079
Oh, I was very spooky.
It is it is, and I'm assuming

544
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:37.920
he saw him in like a full
fledged looking human now, like yeah,

545
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.199
like a translucent spirit. I don't
know what ghosts look like. I've never

546
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:47.920
seen one, obviously, but he
must have looked like his normal to have

547
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:52.239
said good morning to him and just
like think he saw him. That's is

548
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:59.000
crazy. Yeah, yeah, that's
terrifying. It reminds me of the other

549
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:01.920
except that's when take place around the
other Mortos. But the other story from

550
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:07.039
the Monoplula where this guy runs into
his old friend he has like lunch with

551
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:12.320
him, yeah, and then later
finds out that he had died. That's

552
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:15.679
that's always crazy to me. Like
what It's like, what what do you

553
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:20.079
mean that? Did I just have
like lunch with a dead person? Fuck

554
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:23.239
that? And like right right,
it's not spooky in the moment. I'd

555
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:29.760
be freaking out. After one,
I would throw up, like oh no,

556
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.880
yeah, I would be. I
would be terrified, especially because,

557
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:37.960
like I mean, I always picture
them being like, you know, translucent

558
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.719
and like you can tell it's a
ghost, but like I guess you can't

559
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:45.599
always obviously, or all those stories
wouldn't exist. They're so solid. Yeah

560
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:53.320
crazy, Yeah, Yeah, I
don't like it. We did get a

561
00:41:53.559 --> 00:42:00.360
Patreon member that asked me or messaged
us on Patreon to ask if we would

562
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.440
be okay with sharing what we put
on our dad? Are you okay with

563
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:08.519
telling people what you put on there? Yes? I am okay. It's

564
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:13.079
like video because I haven't put mine
up or like what I generally put it

565
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.920
saying what you put up? Yeah, I'll record video uh later, probably

566
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:23.079
this weekend. But I guess everybody
is different For me, I put actual

567
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:28.599
pictures. I know for some people
that's not okay, you have to put

568
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:31.679
yeah, like some people don't believe
in putting pictures. Some people just put

569
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:36.599
artifacts that belong to that person,
so that's you know, that's I also

570
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:39.159
put artifacts that belong to people,
like who have passed. So I put

571
00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:45.480
both pictures and artifacts. Like last
year, I had my grandfather's picture along

572
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:49.679
with the watch that belonged to him, so you know, artifacts in that.

573
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:54.440
And then I put the candles,
the you know, the saint candles.

574
00:42:54.719 --> 00:43:00.320
I put those. I do put
like some artwork that represents like bull

575
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:04.320
who are in my ancestry that I
don't know, So I have like just

576
00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:07.360
of different people from Mexico that look
different, but like since I don't know

577
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:14.320
who is in my line. But
also like for many anybody in Mexico who

578
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:21.280
has uh had who aren't remembered who
you know, oh, people don't,

579
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.039
So I do something like that.
It's not necessarily what's it called, but

580
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:27.239
it's like, hey, you know, like you're not forgotten. And I

581
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.639
understand that there's a lot of people
in our history who will not be remembered

582
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:35.599
because they were murdered or erased or
you know what have you? So I

583
00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:39.480
do that, and then I have
coppal, the incense copal burning. What

584
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:46.039
else I have like all sorts of
candles, lots of white candles. I

585
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:51.760
do t like candles because I'm like, you know what if step on after

586
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.400
like four hours? And then I
do the fake led candles because I don't

587
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:59.800
want to have a fire at night. Yeah yeah, I'm like this,

588
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:05.920
listen, ancestors, you get led
candles. I'm sorry, but I gotta

589
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:09.320
be saved. It's not that count. It's twenty twenty three. I have

590
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:15.760
ADHD. I cannot risk burning my
house down because I will forget to put

591
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:22.159
this out exactly. So I have
led candles that I put out in the

592
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:27.519
last like six hours, which is
great nice, and they're on a timer

593
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:31.320
so it's six hours on, eighteen
hours off, so I don't have to

594
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:36.320
do anything. So it's that,
and then what else do I put?

595
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.760
I have a raboso as the base. I have puppet picado. I have

596
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:49.000
like little calaca artwork, like little
sugar skulls work, and yet it's just

597
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:54.039
not much. I do have fake
flowers because I my kids are older,

598
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:59.519
but they still are kids, and
I'm not trying to have like everything there

599
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:02.400
ruined. Yeah, but I might
do fresh flowers this year. I did

600
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:06.119
a little bit of fresh flowers last
year, but not as much as I

601
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:13.199
like. Yeah, and water drinks, I sumped. I have like vodka

602
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:19.360
that I put out my grandmother who
liked it, and because I don't drink,

603
00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:23.480
but I do have those small little
party bottle what are they called,

604
00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:27.559
like a shot glass? No,
but the little bottles that they give you

605
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.079
like an airlines. Oh yeah,
I don't know what they're called, Like

606
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:35.440
a party size, Yeah, like
a party sun sized little alcoholic drinks.

607
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:37.559
So that's I have a few of
those, and I put like a variety

608
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.920
out and I put some like snacks
and stuff. I don't really do the

609
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:45.920
food thing because my altar is really
small. Yeah, but I do do

610
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:50.079
like snacks, like, hey,
like here's some you know, Mexican candies

611
00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:54.960
and stuff and American candies for the
family that that liked, you know,

612
00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:59.840
American candies for both. But I
don't really do the food thing. I

613
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.199
do the drinks thing, but that's
about it. And then yeah, I

614
00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:06.239
throw away the food after we don't
touch the food that's on the altar.

615
00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:10.480
We just throw it away. Yeah, I have a very tiny one,

616
00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:15.119
so you know, like those years
ago that used to be like five dollars.

617
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:16.639
Now because of inflation, I think
they're like fifteen ninety nine. But

618
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:22.119
I used to have these like very
small like all black side tables. I

619
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:25.000
don't know if you ever saw them, They're very small. So that's what

620
00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:29.320
I use because that's the only extra
like table that I have. And it's

621
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:32.679
like in the corner of the kitchen
because there's a little space there. So

622
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.480
I put my blanket that I got
in San Juan de Rios. It's like

623
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:40.320
you know those like classic like Mexican
you know, like blankets, like a

624
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:44.760
striped one. It's not like a
riboso but it's like god riboso material,

625
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.639
but in like a blanket form.
So that's what goes on the table.

626
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:52.519
And then because it's so small,
I only have room for really, so

627
00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:57.800
I put one big, like eight
x ten picture I have of him where

628
00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:01.639
he's wearing an at Last shirt because
he loved at Last, and then I

629
00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:06.519
have two smaller pictures of him that
I also liked. He when we went

630
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:08.440
over there in twenty seventeen, he
gave me an Adlas hat, So the

631
00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:13.039
hat goes on the Again, it's
a very small alter, so I don't

632
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:16.760
have it on the altar. My
doors that go to my backyard or right

633
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:21.039
behind the altar, and there's curtains
there, so I put you know those

634
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:23.079
like things that you can clip on
to the glue onto the wall, and

635
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:25.719
I have like a little yeah,
I put one of those on the curtain,

636
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:30.679
and I hang the hat right above
the altar. It it does,

637
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:35.960
it works, so that goes above
that. And then I get him two

638
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.360
of the you know, the the
bread that I mentioned, the La novia,

639
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.280
because he always had two. He
couldn't have one by itself. It

640
00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:45.199
was always two, so I got
I would Yeah, I put two on

641
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:51.199
a little plate and then the the
is the third one that goes on this

642
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:54.480
like long plate that I have.
He also loved massa ban that was like

643
00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:59.199
one of his favorite candies. So
a couple of masaan is because he also

644
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:05.360
didn't just have one, he always
had two. And then there's this uh

645
00:48:05.599 --> 00:48:09.960
cotton not cotton, my bad coconut
coconut long Mexican candy. They're like,

646
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.079
oh white and then usually pink at
the end. I don't like coconut,

647
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.440
so I don't like it. But
he loved that candy, so that goes

648
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:22.039
on there. And then like,
uh, glass bottle of coca because he

649
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:27.960
cannot set at the table without some
coca. So that was that's there.

650
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:32.079
And then there's a white candle and
then you know the candles that are like

651
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:38.920
have like and on them, so
one with whichever one I find out the

652
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:44.239
store really yeah, because sometimes do
they'd be selling out quick? Yeah.

653
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:51.320
Actually I should have gone today because
I having bought piccado and it's probably gone,

654
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.199
and I'm like, fuck, I
should have went last weekend. But

655
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:57.559
I can make it with the cricket. It's not the same material, but

656
00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:00.480
like it'll do you know my last
longer because my peca from less you got

657
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:07.360
ripped because it's just like paper.
Yeah, oh tissue paper, Yeah,

658
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.079
I got tissue paper, the tissue
paper one. Yeah, so I might

659
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:14.239
have to make that with the cricket
instead, but yeah, bigato. And

660
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:19.880
then we put some salt on the
table. Those candles. Water. There's

661
00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:22.639
always a cup of water. So
I will say, I thankfully don't have

662
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:29.760
family members who have drowned, but
uh, in some if you have a

663
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:34.760
family member who has drowned, do
not put water instead make them a separate

664
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:37.960
altar, and a lot of places
they do make separate altars for different family

665
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:42.239
members. So for instance, some
people will just have their like like you

666
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:45.360
do, like just for your grandfather. Yeah, and some people have separate

667
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:50.880
altars because, uh, like in
situations like that where like say one person

668
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:54.960
is okay with something but the other
one was not in their lifetime, so

669
00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:58.960
you kind of separate both of them. And that's totally fine. Again,

670
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:02.480
there's so right wrong way to do
this really, but yeah, my puts

671
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:06.440
everyone on there and she's like,
Bella, I know you didn't like she

672
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:08.559
didn't like my grandpa, and she's
like, but whatever, you gotta deal

673
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:15.440
with it because you're all sitting next
to each other. There was oh and

674
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:22.639
then the flower the simp, I
can't pronounce it, yes, thank you.

675
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:25.920
Yeah, so and that is also
those are hard to find here,

676
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:31.119
like they really hard to find here, like hard hard, but like they

677
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:37.400
go fast and I don't get to
go to the grocery s very often.

678
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.880
I'm like disabled, they can't drive, so oh right by the time I

679
00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:45.639
go, it's gone. So in
the corner is the street where all the

680
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:51.559
like Mexican restaurants and grocery stores are
at and there's always people that are selling

681
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:55.559
the flowers outside and yeah, so
there's no way to run out. But

682
00:50:55.800 --> 00:51:00.760
what does run now is the picato
that always runs out, no puppet pick

683
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:04.960
out. Yeah, and and so
yeah, it's gonna be I think it's

684
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.559
gonna be maybe a little bit more
elaborate this year. I got a few

685
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:13.719
more things. Uh, but let's
see. But yeah, I'll probably record

686
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:16.400
and then send you the video.
Yeah, we'll post pictures of them.

687
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:21.519
We posted pictures of our and that
is last year too, or fans.

688
00:51:21.679 --> 00:51:30.719
So yeah, but yeah, I
guess this brings us to the end of

689
00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:36.239
the episode. Yes, do you
have any spooky recommendations? Oh jeez,

690
00:51:36.360 --> 00:51:42.599
I was watching spooky shit too,
I actually was, and now like you

691
00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:45.760
told me, and it all went
poof, poof, it just went blank.

692
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:51.480
Yeah, what information? We have
nothing. I'm trying to remember what

693
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:55.400
I've watched, and I don't think
I watched Beetle Juice. That's the one

694
00:51:55.400 --> 00:52:00.199
I can remember. But that's because
my daughter loves Beetle Juice, a classic.

695
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:05.039
I haven't seen it in forever.
I like it just because Michael Keaton

696
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.079
what, No, I don't know, but like him as an actor.

697
00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:14.320
I was obsessed with Him'm like,
okay, I almost thought you were going

698
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:21.880
to say that you liked him.
No, Michael Keaton like younger version Chef's

699
00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:27.239
kiss really really interesting. Okay,
I'll have to look him up because I

700
00:52:27.239 --> 00:52:31.239
don't know he played Batman one time. Yeah, I just don't remember what

701
00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:37.000
the younger version of him looks like. To be honest version Now it is

702
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:44.960
fine, too, really interesting taste. Listen, I used to like have

703
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:47.400
a crush on Marilyn Manson. So
I'm not the person asked for a beating.

704
00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:54.000
You're right, No, I'm just
kidding. I didn't mean to sound

705
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:59.519
all judging. I judge my own
taste. And then, oh, I

706
00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:01.960
said, I just looked up a
picture of him. He had quite the

707
00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:07.519
hair. Let me send you the
screenshaw of his hair. Wait, Marilyn

708
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:10.920
Manson or Michael Keaton. No,
no, no, Michael Keaton ok Marlon

709
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:15.039
or Marilyn Manson scared me. No, that's fair. He scared a lot

710
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:19.559
of people. Yeah, if someone
said they liked him, I was like,

711
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:24.920
no, he scares me. Oh
my god, fancy hair. Do

712
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:31.039
you see his hair? Wow?
Like voluminous and like he took care of

713
00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:36.519
his hair for sure. Yeah,
it looks fantastic, like eighties, like

714
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:40.119
that's the hair you want, or
girl, that's that's the hair that's now.

715
00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.440
Yeah, right, But no,
I haven't seen anything new. I've

716
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:52.519
been rewatching The Treehouse Terror Simpsons.
Oh yeah, I haven't watched that in

717
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.840
forever. Oh yeah, Like Hulu
has them all put together, like in

718
00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:59.719
the same place, so I just
like put them on and those are my

719
00:53:59.800 --> 00:54:02.400
own. Those are the only Simpsons
episodes that I like, so I watch

720
00:54:02.480 --> 00:54:07.400
them. But I haven't meaning to
watch Cobweb on Hulu. I haven't What

721
00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:10.239
is that one? I haven't heard
of it. Let me read you the

722
00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:15.039
synopsis. Here, Peter confides in
his parents about mysterious tapping in his bedroom

723
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:19.360
ball but they say it's just an
old house. As his fear grows,

724
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:23.079
so do his doubts. That's weird. I'm gonna check that out. I

725
00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:29.719
did say that there's a new horror
slasher movie coming out called Thanksgiving. I

726
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.440
was like, that's weird, really, Yeah, it's just that's what it's

727
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:38.440
called, Just Thanksgiving, and it's
like on Thanksgiving and somebody's going around killing

728
00:54:38.480 --> 00:54:44.000
towns people. Oh okay, well, I'll probably watch that. Is it

729
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:46.679
like a horror comedy? I don't
know if it's a horror comedy. It

730
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:51.760
just looks like like a slasher.
Oh okay, okay, just a name

731
00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.840
gives horror comedy to me, so
right, okay, but yeah, I

732
00:54:55.840 --> 00:55:01.639
guess that has been this episode.
Oh right? Yeah, and yeah,

733
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:05.800
I don't know, hung your loved
ones. Beginning of this was heavy.
