00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.800
Hi, everyone, This is Christina
and Krmen. Yes, there's no empty

2
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.640
today. She is recovering from a
cold, not COVID. She checked a

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:17.120
bunch of times. Yeah that would
suck. I mean a cold. Still

4
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:22.079
it still sucks. Yeah yeah,
but it's still better than COVID, I

5
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:27.559
think. Yeah. Yeah. So
Krmen's here today and we are talking about

6
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.199
well, I'm going to be telling
you, Carmen about some hauntage statues.

7
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.359
Yeah yeah, one in Mexico,
one in Argentina, and then I threw

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.119
in a little bonus one in California. All right, yeah, but before

9
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.679
that, I have a listener story
and I won't let you get through it

10
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.920
zero interruptions. Oh, we'll see
about that. Are you drinking water?

11
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.840
Yeah, it's because I had a
cup of coffee earlier in the morning.

12
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.399
I didn't finish it all though,
and then you know, I traded myself

13
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:57.320
to Smoky's, this restaurant I like
only Monday through Friday. Today is a

14
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:03.240
Friday. I have off magically because
I quested it off, magically requested it

15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.200
on. So yeah, I treated
myself to Smokies and I got of anol

16
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.719
latte there. Oh lovely. It
was probably like a sixteen ounce ish and

17
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.799
so I felt it was too soon
for more coffee and I just finished that

18
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.560
like an hour ago. Okay,
I can see that. And also I

19
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.840
not drink any water all day.
Yeah, you had a tough test to

20
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.719
get through, and you can't be
through through the test. Yeah I did

21
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.480
once the time the clock was running. It didn't stop for me to be

22
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.400
but I had to wow, and
you're still passed. Okay, that's all

23
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:42.920
clap for Carmen. So yes,
a listeners story before I get to the

24
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.920
story. If you have a story
that you want to send into the podcast,

25
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.159
you can email Espuitos at gmail dot
com, sendit it on our discorn.

26
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.560
You can give us a call.
I'll leave it in a voicemail.

27
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.719
We just got one. I,
however, did have it ready to play

28
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.280
or I would have played it here, but I have it. We'll probably

29
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:00.799
listen to a next episode, So
thank you so much for the person who

30
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.719
did that. I already listened to
it and I forgot so it's like it's

31
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.280
gonna be like new for me.
That's an option. You can email a

32
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:13.199
voicemail in Some people have done that, and yeah, we'll play it in

33
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.840
the episode. So I always love
receiving everything, but those I think are

34
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:23.319
like extra extra, extra fun.
And this wasn't in via email, so

35
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.599
I would just read the whole thing. Hello Christina and MJ. There's no

36
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.759
MG today, and Carmen, I'm
gonna replace it. Hello Christina and Carmen.

37
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.719
You guys are the best and I
enjoy listening to all your back and

38
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:42.000
forth and storytelling. I am currently
writing this from the most haunted room of

39
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.639
the Alex Johnson Hotel in South Dakota. Wow. My job allows me to

40
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.840
travel, and when I travel,
I try to stay in haunted places.

41
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.280
I love that. I wouldn't do
the same. Maybe said you wouldn't do

42
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.599
the same. I would, but
you wouldn't even go upstairs in our grandma's

43
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.479
house. Shut the fuck up,
fucking at You're right, You're right.

44
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.680
No, I called you out.
I didn't attack you. Well, it

45
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.800
wasn't attack for me, even though
you are calling me out, I feel

46
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:15.120
attacked. Yeah, No, you're
right, I won't even go upstairs because

47
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.919
I'm scared. I won't either.
I'm just saying like I also wouldn't stay

48
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.759
in haunt and placed it on purpose. I think if I was already there,

49
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.199
I wouldn't leave, but yeah,
I wouldn't go. I wouldn't leave.

50
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.960
Seek it out, you wouldn't leave. Yeah, I wouldn't leave.

51
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.520
I am too broke to like go
and find any hotels. I could sing

52
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:38.719
it for that, you would sing
it. Okay, let me continue now.

53
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.439
Before I get to my listeners story, I wanted to give you a

54
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.000
little background on the room I'm staying
in. Supposedly people encounter of women in

55
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.759
white. She was a young bride
who died by suicide by jumping out of

56
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.120
the window of this room, Room
one hundred and twelve. There are different

57
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.439
accounts, and reportedly she likes to
open the window in the middle of the

58
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.759
night, so I might wake up
to that. You know what, by

59
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.439
the time we're reading this, let
us know. If you did wake up

60
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.479
to that, let me know.
I need to know. The hotel even

61
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.199
keeps a log at the front desk
where people can write out their experiences in

62
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.319
the room. Wow. Wow.
If I do end up experiencing anything,

63
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.360
I will be sure to update you. Okay, So maybe maybe she didn't.

64
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.160
Anyway, onto my actual listener story
that takes place in Mexico. These

65
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.399
are experiences from my parents when they
lived in Quahuila, Mexico. The house

66
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.160
they lived in was in front of
a little creek. My parents would experience

67
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.560
a lot of things in the house. For example, my dad really liked

68
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.800
reading those novellas with this sleazy cover, and he would leave the stacks of

69
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.560
them on their dresser. One night, my mom and dad were sleeping when

70
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.240
they woke up to the sound of
the novellas smacking against each other and were

71
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:53.480
having sex. I guess da wow. They both said that they were too

72
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.639
scared to move, but when they
finally did, they could see the stacks

73
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.800
of novellas had been moved to the
floor. It was as if the novellas

74
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.319
that sat on top of the stack
on the dresser were being stacked perfectly on

75
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.800
the ground, one by one.
Oh that makes more sense. Okay,

76
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:15.519
yeah, I just thought they were
like sitting. We're so fucking dumb.

77
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:23.040
Oh my god. The fact that
we thought the same thing just cements how

78
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.720
dupe. I was gonna say,
how we're like twins, but that's how

79
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:34.000
we're done twins. Oh my god. Okay. When my mom would be

80
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.079
cooking, she would have multiple pots
on the stove, one for beans,

81
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.959
one for rice, one day,
she left the food on the stove to

82
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.120
cook and she went out to sweep
the stoop, so she spent a few

83
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.680
minutes outside. When she came back
inside, she saw that the burners that

84
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.720
she had put the pods on were
off and that the pots had been moved

85
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.639
to completely different burners. This would
happened multiple times. Lastly, there was

86
00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.000
one time my dad woke up in
the middle of the night and had to

87
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.240
go to the bathroom. As he
was walking down the hallway, he felt

88
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:05.240
someone blowing on the back of his
neck. That's the worst one yet,

89
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:10.000
Oh my god. Being the middle
of the night, my mom was sleeping

90
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:14.160
and nobody else was in the house. He wiped his neck, turned around

91
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.240
and saw that there was nobody there. There were always rumors that children had

92
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:21.279
drowned in the creek that ran behind
the house, and even though the occurrences

93
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:26.079
scared them, they never really felt
malicious. They felt malicious to me.

94
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:30.560
No, those were like playful.
I think. The only one that felt

95
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.839
malicious to me was the neck touching
thing blowing on the That's what it was.

96
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.720
Yeah, Oh I don't like it. So those are our stories.

97
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.279
Again. Huge fan of the podcast, Keep up the great work, Janey,

98
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.319
Thank you Janey for sending that in. And wow, yeah, sorry

99
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.759
we got confused with the magazine story. I think only we could have done

100
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.560
that. I think everyone else would
have been like, oh they're being moved

101
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.279
any were like someone's clapping, the
magazine is together. Oh my god.

102
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.600
Our would says, she would call
us at us, which is short.

103
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:09.959
Yeah, that's how much she's she
calls us. Yeah, yeah, that

104
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.399
she shortened it to at us.
And now she's saying, as long as

105
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.079
we're anymore, just at that now
yeah, so now yeah, she'll like

106
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:21.120
still message like yeah, because sometimes
we'll have moments like this. You know

107
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:29.720
who doesn't, right, right,
yeah, right right? You know the

108
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.240
first thing, the first story she
said, a sort of story she said

109
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.879
about the hotels and the bride jumping
off. It reminds me of every hotel

110
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:42.959
story that M tells on and that's
why we drink. Oh yeah, yeah.

111
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.839
If a hotel doesn't have a story
of a woman jumping out of the

112
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.759
window, is it even a hotel? That's my question. Yeah, and

113
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.160
she has to have a white dress
or a red dress on. Yeah,

114
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.399
although there is somewhere I don't remember
if it's California or somewhere else. There's

115
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.480
a train station with a lady in
a green dress. Oh wow, green

116
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.000
dress. That's different. Yeah,
I want to know where the ghosts are,

117
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:16.079
where the girlies are with like the
big T shirts and hoop ear rings

118
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.759
and jeans and like Nike. Where
are those ghosts? You know what?

119
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.800
I never hear haunted stories about,
like you know, the hood. I

120
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.319
feel like that's where they would be. And that's the kind of ghost that

121
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.319
I would want to be haunted by
because I would be like, you know,

122
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.399
you probably grew up next to me, and I wouldn't be afraid of

123
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.919
you. You're not like some races
from the eighteen hundreds exactly. You're not

124
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.080
gonna blow out my neck in the
middle of the night because you get it.

125
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.000
You get it. You're gonna move
my pots around maybe, but like

126
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.440
that, Yeah, if anything,
you're gonna watch out for me and that

127
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:52.720
sense you're more of an angel than
a ghost. And that's what the song

128
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.840
Angel Baby was truly about. A
ghost. I love that song. You

129
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.039
start singing it, but I can't
do that. They're not seeing it's terrible.

130
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.879
So my first story, well,
first, before I get into the

131
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.320
hunted statue stories that I have written
down carpet and I first we grew up

132
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.200
in Oakland, and then we moved
to Modesto, California. But in Oakland

133
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.840
on I don't know if it's still
there either, But on thirty fourth Street,

134
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.799
I think, is that where our
cousins lived. It was, I

135
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.519
don't think. So we were on
thirty fifth. We would walk over to

136
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.559
their house. But on the way
to their house we passed a big house

137
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.720
that had these like lions sages.
Oh okay, yeah, that wasn't thirty

138
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.759
fourth Stree. That was a different
stree. They were further away and thirty

139
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.960
fourth next to thirty five. Yeah, they lived like We had to pass

140
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.279
the library. And if you're from
Oakland, you know exactly what we're talking

141
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.039
about, because is there more than
one library. I don't know. There

142
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.399
might be the big citywn yeah,
city Ivan. No one will know what

143
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.440
we're talking about because they have a
horrible sense of navigation, which is even

144
00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:00.200
worse as children. So this is
true. This is true. So anyway,

145
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.879
there was a big house and I
know what house you're talking about.

146
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.799
Yeah, you know what house.
No one else knows what house I'm talking

147
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.720
about. Anyway, this bed.
Yeah, this doesn't matter. The point

148
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.240
is. The point is we walked
by a house with lions statues, and

149
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.039
I imagined that those statues came to
life. And then when our mom told

150
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.080
us the story of Las even more
so, I was like, oh my

151
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.919
god, those lions are gonna attack
me. But we never walked in the

152
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:30.279
middle of the night there or so
we were safe. And then in Modesto,

153
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.320
okay, people will know this.
Probably when you're leaving Deep and you're

154
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.080
going into the downtown area of Modesto
or the rest of Medesto, you have

155
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.639
to go through that little bridge,
Lion Bridge. Lion Bridge, okay,

156
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.360
and there has lion statues as well. It still did they take them all?

157
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.480
Are they gone? I drive there
often and I don't remember. I

158
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.039
just haven't been trying to avoid that
bridge because somebody told me it was like

159
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.759
socially unsound. NIU fall at any
moment? What the buck? Yeah,

160
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.799
somebo told me, like, oh
business forever. I guess every day.

161
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.440
I know, That's what I told
them. I'm like, I used to

162
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.279
drive every day to fucking school.
And they're like, yeah, no,

163
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.720
I don't drive that way. They're
like, I go the opposite way.

164
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.200
If you kept going a couple streets
down on Age, you could get on

165
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:20.240
the freeway and skip the bridge like
you didn't have to take the bridge.

166
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.360
Can keep going down and take the
freeway instead of the bridge. Wow,

167
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.039
well we could have died. Get
to know. Point is of that is

168
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.320
that I also thought those statues were
haunted. Anytime I see a statue,

169
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.200
IM like this as a person,
the ghost is trapped inside and at night

170
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.799
they come out. I mean I
used to not anymore. Yeah, right,

171
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:50.200
we have outgrown those beliefs. Yeah, yeah, And but today I

172
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.720
have some actual allegedly haunted statues,
not my imagine, our imagination, because

173
00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:01.799
we both thought this. The first
one Islen Woo the Devil in the Garden

174
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.840
of the Garden one of those.
I think both work. I don't know

175
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.519
English second language. So many years
ago, there was once a man who

176
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.559
lived on a farm that was located
on La Avenida, Argentina. I like

177
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.759
that name, he was going to
say that. Yah. Yeah. He

178
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.679
was a greedy man who called upon
the devil to grant him a wish.

179
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.000
The man told the devil that if
he helped him win the biggest lottery in

180
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.080
the region, he would give him
his soul and build a statue in his

181
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.600
honor so that everyone could see it
and worship him. The devil agreed,

182
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.879
and soon the man's wish came true, and he won the lottery and returned.

183
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.679
The man made good on his promise, and he began to build the

184
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.679
statue. He worked tirelessly to finish
it, but just before it was completed,

185
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.440
several neighbors heard loud, agonizing screams
coming from the man's farm. When

186
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.200
the townspeople went to check on the
man, they found him paralyzed and in

187
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.559
a similar pose as the statue.
WHOA, that's good. Quickly no one

188
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.720
could explain what happened to the farmer, but the townspeople began to believe that

189
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.440
the man's soul became trapped in the
statue. Is that not? What I

190
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.879
said? Is exactly? Wow?
Did you did you know the story?

191
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.639
I guess, I guess deep down
did and deep down in your soul that

192
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.159
you still have because you didn't sell
it to the devil? Exactly exactly Yeah,

193
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.200
yet not yet. The statue itself
was terrifying, with many who claimed

194
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.399
to have seen it saying it was
the color white and the same height as

195
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.879
an adult it had a pointy goatee, large horns, and a diabolical grin

196
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.200
with a stair that struck fear in
you yiankes terrible. Some also claimed that

197
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.120
the statue was kneeling on its left
leg while its right hand was over its

198
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.240
bent right leg. I'm sorry what
yah? So it was it was kneeling

199
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.960
because left leg was touching the ground, the right leg was up, and

200
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.200
it was resting its hands on the
right leg. Oh I see, I

201
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.559
see. Yeah. So the leg
that was up was the right one,

202
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.200
and that's the one that the hands
were on. Yeah, so like you

203
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.759
how you this doesn't work? But
you see I can like, okay,

204
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:11.600
yes, yeah, I didn't think
you were gonna acted out, so I

205
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.720
needed to want to see Carmen acting
individualize it. Okay, that makes sense.

206
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:20.759
Yeah, that's why I did that. I didn't know. No,

207
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.159
oh my god. Additional claims also
say that the statue's left hand held a

208
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:31.519
flute, and others say was holding
onto its beard. It's terrifying that people

209
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.200
remember a different things. Yeah.
I don't like it. No, Like

210
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.919
it's changing knows you're reading it or
saying it and then changing itself, yes

211
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.200
to reflect whatever, whatever. A
flute means I don't know. I don't

212
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.360
know. Musicians are diabolical though,
so they always sell their soul. Yeah.

213
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.399
And if a guy, if a
man, is a musicians, he's

214
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.440
gonna break your heart. So that's
why they learned the guitar. Guitar.

215
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.159
Yeah. And if he can sing, oh my god, it's over.

216
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:07.240
Don't even go there, no hurt. The same about dancers, and if

217
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.879
they can sing and dance, you're
fucking dud. Don't even unless you're looking

218
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.919
to get your heartbroken. That's time. Some people want that, you know,

219
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.519
to feel alive. I don't know
either way. The frightening statue became

220
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.720
an eyesore in the town, so
the townspeople tried to get rid of it

221
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:28.120
by throwing it down the river,
but somehow it always should back up guiji

222
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.000
board uh huh yeah, And yeah
it showed back up just fine, like

223
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.919
like nothing that ever happened to it. Uh huh yeah, like new wow.

224
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.720
For the next following years, several
people in the town reported having an

225
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.639
eerie feeling whenever they passed by the
statue, but no one dared to try

226
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.039
and move it again. They feared
they would meet the same tragic fate as

227
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.480
the farmer who built it. In
nineteen sixty five, though a man bought

228
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.559
the farmer's property and opened a restaurant
called The Restaurant became popular, and even

229
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.720
though the restaurant owner claimed that the
statue was not haunted, many people from

230
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.960
across the country still visited the restaurant
to have a chance to stare into the

231
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:10.039
statue's eyes and possibly catch a glimpse
of the farmer's soul who was supposedly trapped

232
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:11.879
in it. Well, I'd do
that. I do that because there's no

233
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.120
risk there. I think if you're
just going looking at a statue and leaving,

234
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.399
I mean, nothing's going to happen, right if you look at the

235
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.200
n eyes so far or no,
I don't think so, other than it

236
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.159
didn't say it was going to still
their soul or anything like that. So

237
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:29.360
eventually the restaurant's owner sold their property, and with the restaurant, the statue

238
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.399
also disappeared. What it was just
gone one day. No one knows what

239
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.080
happened to the statue, and photos
of it do not exist, but many

240
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.039
claim that the new owners threw it
away and replaced it with the Holy Water

241
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.360
Fountain, hoping that it'll keep evil
energy away. Honestly, I'm not a

242
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.720
fan of that. I wish they
would have kept it. Me too,

243
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.720
me too. Like they said of
themselves that it wasn't haunted. Why don't

244
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.799
I just leave it there? Yeah, nothing was happening, you know.

245
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.399
Yeah, like if you want to
be somewhere where there's holy water, just

246
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.399
go to church. Yeah, but
leave the statue, like, don't bring

247
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.279
the holy water to the restaurant.
Although it was in a restaurant anymore,

248
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.519
I guess. So, yeah,
I don't know. I don't know what

249
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:08.880
it was after the Yeah, let
to see if it's in here, Okay,

250
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.200
I don't know if it became anything. Even though the city of Parana

251
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:17.000
has changed a lot since the devil
statue was there, some people like the

252
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:22.359
architect Marcello Almost, who lived there
years and it's the director of the Museum

253
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.079
of Drossa Galisteo, swears the statue
was real. Yeah, I guess.

254
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.960
Yeah. There's people that still remember
it and people that have no idea.

255
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.640
I never saw it, and it's
just gone like it's nowhere now, it's

256
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.000
nowhere. So Marcello almost says that
the statue was a fun and not a

257
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.160
devil, but other people swear it
was a devil. Yeah, like a

258
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:48.119
goat, but it had legs.
It's like a centaur. But I'm imagining,

259
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.160
Okay, that's exactly what I was
picturing, you know, like the

260
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.480
guy from Hercules. Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, where he's

261
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.599
like a half goat, half person. Yeah, that's what I was picturing

262
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.960
also, but also like the centaurs
from Harry Potter. Okay, they have

263
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.960
four legs and he only has two
legs. Yeah, okay, well that's

264
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.039
still pretty creepy even if it wasn't. I mean, I could use that

265
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.359
for the devil for sure, Like
yeah, but even that has warns,

266
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:15.079
you know. Yeah, yeah,
that's not a fun that's the devil.

267
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:19.640
Nowadays, the farm and the statue
no longer stand and instead it's a commercial

268
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:25.160
building. That's what it is now. Thanks Don. I was wondering what

269
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.960
it was now, so glad she
answered that. Wor us. Why is

270
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.960
there no pictures of it? Did
it say in the years? So the

271
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.759
restaurant opened in nineteen sixty five,
and matter how long the restaurant was opened

272
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.680
before it closed down, I mean, yeah, there would could be pictures

273
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:48.640
of it then. Yeah, I
wish that would have been cool. Yeah,

290
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.440
on TikTok, but you know,
like very briefly because it's a one minute

291
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.559
video. Actually, I think this
is like forty five seconds what I uploaded

292
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:22.079
it to TikTok. But this is
the legend of in Chihuahua. Interesting.

293
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.720
I'm hooked already. Yeah, I
mean, you know, you just hear

294
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.240
that and you're like what, You're
like intriguing, and like if you pass

295
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.440
by this statue or monument, I
think you pass by and you're like,

296
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:38.079
what the fuck? Because it is
the so I mean, hence the name

297
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.279
the Seven Little Heads. It's a
big, like rectangular monument. It's it's

298
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.680
big, and then in the middle
there's like bronze seven bronze heads, seven

299
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.119
bronze heads, yeah, yeah,
of little boys. And then underneath each

300
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:57.920
head there's a name of each boy. And then there's a bigger plaque that

301
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.480
I cannot find a clear picture of
it, and I don't know what it

302
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.960
says, yeah, but I think
it just is talking about maybe what happened

303
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:07.279
on that day, which I'm going
to tell you what happened on that day.

304
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:12.640
So on kilometer twenty one of the
Catererica. This is a road in

305
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:17.119
Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Chihawa. So
the city of Chihuahua in the state of

306
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:22.319
Chihuahua in Mexico, just passed a
road known as La sometimes also called Laura

307
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.119
Perico. Either way, it's a
dangerous curve. Well I prefer the parrot

308
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:33.599
name, yeah, right, parrot
curve or death curve, Yeah, exactly.

309
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:40.720
So just past that curve there's a
monument depicting the seven heads of young

310
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.400
boys and a plaque like I just
described. This monument was put up after

311
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.960
a tragic accident. So on August
first, nineteen thirty nine, twenty five

312
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.599
boys, all age ten to fourteen. They were all part of the Young

313
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.480
Men's Christian Association of Chihuahua, so
the YMCA. I just never knew what

314
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:02.720
the letters were I heard before then, like I forget those every time I

315
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:04.759
hear it, it's like a shock, Like what really that's what it's called.

316
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.400
I don't know. It was a
religious organization either. Anyway, they

317
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:15.359
were traveling on and this is a
truck, like a cargo truck. And

318
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:22.359
if you've seen old like even pictures
from like the labor union strikes, like

319
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.400
farmers, farmers, Oh my god, what are they called? Farm workers.

320
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.559
There's these trucks and on the back
they have like wood panels. Are

321
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.960
okay, yeah, and we're talking
that is that is the truck. So

322
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.200
these type of trucks are they're not
made anymore because they're not really safe.

323
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.920
Uh yeah, yeah. And you
know back then they were used to carry

324
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.440
people in the back and so you
know, this was very normal, very

325
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:53.079
common, and so the some of
the boys, I want to say most

326
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:57.039
of the boys were sitting in the
back of the truck on boxes and they

327
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:02.920
were headed to a national park,
all also in Chihuahua, and they were

328
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:04.799
going to camp there for a week. And this was a normal ride,

329
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.759
you know, as young boys are
going to do in the back of a

330
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.200
truck. They're laughing, they're singing, apparently they were yelling at house,

331
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:17.720
you know whatever boy things. And
then it was five pm that afternoon when

332
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:22.440
another vehicle they were heading to that
curve that I just mentioned. So they

333
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.039
were they were going and this doesn't
make sense if you're on audio, but

334
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.079
they were going that way on the
curve like the car north. Yes,

335
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.400
yeah, yeah, yeah, so
they were Yeah, they were going like

336
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.519
north. They were going to take
the turn, and then coming down the

337
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.920
curve was another car. Yikes.
And again, like I said, it

338
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.400
was a dangerous curve. They didn't
see the truck. And then later the

339
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.279
driver of that vehicle said that his
brakes weren't working, but that he did

340
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.559
see the truck. So it was
like a conflicting story either way. He

341
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.680
came straight down the curve. They
were turning at a slower velocity. Then

342
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.599
that truck driver was coming down,
so they crashed. They my head on,

343
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.000
yes, and these boys were on
the back of the truck. So

344
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:10.599
seven of the boys died. Four
of them died like sorry. Three of

345
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.000
them died on the spot after the
crash. Four of them died in the

346
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.000
hospital. However, if you hear
versions of the legend, some will say

347
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.880
that they were decapitated during the crash, which is not true. It's just

348
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.400
part of the legend. They were
not decapitated. It's more ominous though,

349
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.960
if you think that the seven boys
were decapitated and then there's a monument with

350
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.240
their heads, yeah, I would
fall from that, or I would believe

351
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.599
the legend because of the seven Little
Hints, and it's probably why that version

352
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:42.119
exists. There's also versions of the
legend that say it's a bus and not

353
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.319
a cargo truck, and that the
kids were sticking their head out of the

354
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.559
windows, oh man, when another
bigger truck passed by, and then that's

355
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:53.319
how they were decapitated. That was
like a popular like urban myth. Yeah,

356
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.920
I was deadly, deadly, frankly
yeah yeah, stick in my hand

357
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.599
out, Oh yeah, that I
was gonna say. Yeah, I thought

358
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.359
a car was gonna clutch us my
head. Yeah yeah, I wouldn't never

359
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.279
and every time I saw dogs and
this is kid me, not me now,

360
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.920
But I also thought that it was
like your head back in Yeah,

361
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:18.160
like I know you like it,
but please you're in danger, legit or

362
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.640
for those dogs, Yeah, reminds
me our poor dog. We had a

363
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:26.160
little dog named Peewee, and my
art art dad, for some reason,

364
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.079
was driving a truck and instead of
bringing our little tiny dog in front with

365
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.240
him, he put him in the
bag on the freeway. And then he

366
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:40.400
was driving and from from his mirror, his yeah, the side of his

367
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.960
mirror, he just saw our dog
dangling. Another car honked at him and

368
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.319
I thought the car was being like
crazy trying to pass or being like you

369
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:51.880
know that kind of driver, like
trying to pass him up or just honking

370
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:55.440
for no reason. And then like
finally flung him down and was pointed in

371
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:59.519
the bag. My dog's like what
and he looks in the rear view mirror

372
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:04.000
or the mirror and then he sees
our fucking dog dangling from his leash.

373
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:08.319
Hey, you know, for dear
life, that poor dog. Were not

374
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.720
listened to him for like a month
after or longer. I don't even remember.

375
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.839
Pee wee was a survivor, he
survived that. I could not believe

376
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.440
it. So, you know,
after hearing that, I was like,

377
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.880
Okay, dogs sticking their head out
of the window. They're safe because our

378
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.839
dogs survived dangling for the side of
a truck on the freeway. Like yeah,

379
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.319
anyway, So yeah, these boys
were not sticking their head out of

380
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.519
the window, as the popular legend
will depict. No, they were sitting

381
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:38.559
in the back on boxes and that's
very dangerous to do, obviously, but

382
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.640
again, this is what's normal at
the time. So one of the survivors,

383
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:48.720
Alberto Contreras, he said that all
of their things after the accident everything

384
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.839
was all over the road. It
was a horrible site. Clothes, food,

385
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.240
blankets, the boxes that the boys
were using as seats, and blood,

386
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.680
blood everywhere. Plus you know,
their friends that had passed away.

387
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.680
And yeah, like I said,
part of the legend, will you know

388
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.319
say that all boys died at the
same time, like they're on the SPA,

389
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.359
but three of them did. Four
passed away in the hospital later.

390
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:14.279
It was a tragic accident. The
whole state of Chihuahua was mourning the death

391
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:15.920
of the boys because I mean,
it's like it's seven kids. They were

392
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:19.039
so young too. Yeah, they
were so young. And I will say,

393
00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:22.400
I mean, I think every country
but Mexico like loves kids. And

394
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:29.400
like when you go to Helisco,
there's these signs everywhere that's say or when

395
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:32.799
you mean well, and it doesn't
make sense to me because none of it

396
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.160
is really the sidewalk is dangerous.
Yeah, no, it's true, it

397
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.279
is. It doesn't it's not child
friendly, but there's signs everywhere. The

398
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.400
city's structure is not child friendly.
But okay, yeah, people love kids.

399
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.799
Like I've said this before on the
podcast, but when I traveled to

400
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:55.880
Mexico compared to traveling to within the
States. Yeah, people are so nice

401
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:00.480
in Mexico. They're like they'll help
you hold your child with like, oh

402
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.720
you need help here, let me
grab them and whatever's it's it's very nice

403
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.400
anyway. So yeah, people they
were very sad. They were mourning the

404
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:12.599
loss of these seven children, and
so they put up a monument on the

405
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:18.559
twenty sixth of May and nineteen forty
and this was built to forever remember the

406
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.000
young boys who died on that tragic
day. Well also to warn other drivers

407
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:25.960
of the dangerous curve. Like they
thought maybe they'll see this and like,

408
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.759
hey, these kids died here,
like this curve slowed down. It's dangerous.

409
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:37.039
Yeah. The boys who died it
was a fourteen year old Venacio Gabriel

410
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.240
and Jorge Yokoman. They were all
fourteen. No I messed up something here.

411
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.440
They were thirteen or fourteen, okay, oh, no, I got

412
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:48.839
it. Venacio and Armando were fourteen, Jorge Yokoman was thirteen. Luise Diaz

413
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:56.039
Garcia and Theodoro Faulkner they were eleven. Interesting last name, that's so young.

414
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:03.160
Yeah, and then Alberto Menespenya and
Racio Brundo were ten. Oh my

415
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.680
god. Even younger, even younger. Yeah, some of these names.

416
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:11.359
I just love their like old timing
names. Vinacio, yeah, though it

417
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.240
was making a comeback in English at
least. I don't know about Spanish.

418
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.480
Really, I didn't know that.
Yeah, Theodore. There's a lot of

419
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:23.319
Theos. Although I will say twenty
eighteen children that are some type of Latino.

420
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.799
Latino, that kid's gonna be named
Matteo. When I'm at the park

421
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.400
with my Matteo. There's a ton
of fun there. Weren't the only one

422
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.400
that chose that name that year,
No, I was not. It's a

423
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.160
very popular name. And you know
what, I don't even care because he's

424
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.799
going to experience. There's like a
bunch of Christina's in the classroom. It's

425
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.599
so funny because in every grade there's
maybe one other Carmen or no other Carmens

426
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:51.880
in our grade in high school and
there were like three other Christinas and every

427
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.559
one of my classes. Yeah yeah, and so I have a complex about

428
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.160
it. And when I started working
where I am now, there was so

429
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.079
there's three units within my like uh
huh, actual unit, and there was

430
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.519
a Carmen in one of the other
units, and they were like Carmon whatever

431
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:11.559
initial it wasn't Carmon H. And
I was so not used to it.

432
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.200
And then she changed units, and
then people sometimes we were still writing Carmon

433
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:15.480
H. And I was like,
no, no, no, no,

434
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.680
there's no Carmon shere anymore. I'm
just Carmen. And then I made them

435
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:26.519
reprint the because they have the list. I'm a monster. They have a

436
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:30.640
they said, not always pronown a
list of phone numbers for everybody, and

437
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.720
then what's the birthdays? And then
somebody had ran Carmon H. And I

438
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:37.279
was like, no, no,
no, no, there's no more Carmon

439
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.240
H. Let's reprint this to just
take Carmen please. Oh they just roll

440
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:47.759
their eyes at me. So,
yeah, he's gonna have the same experience.

441
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.960
There's gonna be like Mattel H,
Mattel L, Mattel whatever. It's

442
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.079
gonna be funny. I'm curious to
see about Sammy. And like I said

443
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:57.079
earlier, I can't find clear pictures
of what the plaque said. I imagine

444
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:02.279
it says something about the tragic day
and probably on this day, like on

445
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.839
this dangerous road, like these boys
lost their lives, like be careful when

446
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:08.720
you're dry, or something like yeah, that's what I imagine if anyone is

447
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:11.039
in the area, let me know, I want to see like a clear,

448
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.799
clearer thing of this plague. But
yeah, you can go see the

449
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.400
moneyming yourself. It's it's there.
Sadly, it is a little tagged up

450
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.519
as things become, you know,
over the years. Yeah yeah. Drivers

451
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.720
that passed by at night claim to
see a couple of boys running across the

452
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.680
streets. Oh my god, and
when they like break they disappear in front

453
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.680
of them before their eyes. And
you know this is right by the monument.

454
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:37.480
Man is the drivers that are going
too fast and the boys are like,

455
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.240
you better calm your tits. I
wonder you know what there is.

456
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.000
There was a comment in one of
the sources that I used that said,

457
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:49.160
like, many believe they're being warned
to slow down by the boys who don't

458
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:55.160
want other people to relive. That
makes sense, to suffer the s Yeah.

459
00:31:55.440 --> 00:32:00.200
Others that have gone during the day
even claim to see the boys crying.

460
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:06.759
Oh the faces and the statues of
the statues like crying scary but sad.

461
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.240
At the same time, others claim
to hear screams of children in the

462
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:14.839
area. That's scary. Yes,
yeah, I think I'd rather see the

463
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:16.680
crying statues. Me too, Me
too. I wouldn't want to see the

464
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.160
running across the street. Oh no, no, no, no no.

465
00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:25.240
Others say that the boys who died
that day are condemned to repeat the accident

466
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:31.519
for eternity. Why picture that.
It's not even that they're physically they're repeating

467
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.240
it, but it's like a okay, like a warning, like not a

468
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.400
warning, but like you know,
sometimes things happen in the house and it's

469
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:44.960
like a type of hunting that is
like talking about Yeah, yeah, but

470
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.920
I don't there's a word for it. There is, Yeah, like a

471
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:53.319
residual Yeah, yeah, you remember
wow a for me? Yeah, but

472
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:58.079
yeah, I almost think that it's
a residual hunting that people are seeing it,

473
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:00.839
yeah, but that the boys are
not. They're off living their lives

474
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:07.720
in heaven and they're happy afterlife wherever
you know, we go afterwards. Yeah,

475
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.359
that's what I hope at least.
Yeah, But many people like will

476
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.200
hear the sounds of a crash when
there's no other cars around. It sounds

477
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:20.599
like a residual haunting whatever it's called, and then hear those screams. So

478
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.720
that's what I think. But people
that experienced that haven't actually seen it happening,

479
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:29.279
they just hear it. Yeah,
and then and then obviously the what

480
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:32.920
I guess kind of contradicts that it's
a residual haunting though the running is there

481
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:37.960
people that have seen the boys running
across, so I don't know, very

482
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:42.200
creepy. Every year, on the
day of the accident, there's an homage

483
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.960
to the seven Boys, so people
gather and they're still at least a couple

484
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.640
of years ago I found an article. No I think it's like it was

485
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:52.640
like five years old now, there
was a one or two of the survivors,

486
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.119
you know, standing up there talking
about the boys, and there's cameras.

487
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.039
I'll find the picture because there is. Yeah, they're still have this

488
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:02.440
every year, and they partly do
this, at least they say, and

489
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:07.000
hopes that the boys find peace and
move on, but probably also just to

490
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.960
commemorate them, especially because the last
article I found there was still a couple

491
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:19.239
of survivors alive and present. So
yeah, that was. And I'll post

492
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.760
pictures because it's it's a strange monuments
to look at. I can't wait to

493
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:29.039
see because I'm a little ominous.
It sounds scary like given this monument itself.

494
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.480
Yeah, it's just like seven heads
there. It's I don't like it.

495
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:37.639
I don't like it or no,
you'll see it's a it's like a

496
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.360
like a okay okay, oh yeah, I described it a little bit.

497
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:44.280
The heads are sticking out. They're
not like, well, I guess a

498
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:49.239
little amount Rushmore style now like maybe
a little bit okay. And then I

499
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.639
have one more just bonus statue that
I wasn't going to include, but I

500
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.760
found a last minute because I was
like, you know what, we have

501
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:58.000
a lot of listeners in California.
Let me just see if there's a haunted

502
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:02.639
statue story in California. And there
is. So in Bakersfield, there's only

503
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.719
one roundabout on all the Bakersfield Yeah, Shadow Bakery. Weren't you just there?

504
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:15.519
I just drove by their exactly the
way two and back from lah Yeah,

505
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:20.440
yes, I was there. Yeah. Yeah. But in Bakersfield there's

506
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.280
one roundabout. It's known as the
circle or like I don't know how to

507
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:29.119
pronounce this either car seas circle,
I don't know. It's apparently just known

508
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:31.519
as a circle because there's the only
roundabout in Bakersfield. So if you're in

509
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.679
Bakersfield or you've driven through it,
it's the only one you would have seen

510
00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:39.280
it. And also there's a big
statue. This roundabout was built in nineteen

511
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:45.119
thirty two and it was part of
Highway ninety nine's construction. And since its

512
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:51.199
construction there's been talk of paranormal activity
there because in the middle of the roundabout

513
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.239
there's a big statue of a Franciscan
missionary. Oh, it must be Garsis,

514
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.639
because these missionaries are all Spanish.
Spanish, yeah, probably, yeah,

515
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:06.239
so that makes sense. So was
added to the center of the circle

516
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:09.880
in nineteen thirty nine, and after
that that's when the stories began. So

517
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:16.480
drivers report seeing the statue wave its
arm yaikes, very yaike. Get into

518
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:23.400
a car accident after that? Right, well, apparently some wreck victims reported

519
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:29.880
that they heard the statue utter a
prayer right before the car crash. Are

520
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.519
you freaking serious? Oh my god? Yeah, like a warning? Processing

521
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:37.599
that insurance claim? Right, well, I heard it pray and do the

522
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:44.360
excuse me? Denied? Claim denied? You were clearly your AFT fault.

523
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:51.199
Yeah, So people think that the
waving or hearing it prey is it's warning

524
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.000
you that you're going to get in
a car accident or it's causing it honestly,

525
00:36:54.159 --> 00:37:01.280
look yeah, yeah, because wow, I would crash if I heard

526
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:05.440
that. Yeah, because I would
be startled, because anything startles me.

527
00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.760
I could be sitting here really into
whatever I'm doing, and then like someone's

528
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:13.800
like I can't my husband, it's
like Christina, I'm like, oh yeah,

529
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:15.519
yeah no. But the other day
I was driving my car and I

530
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:19.440
continuing like this squeaky noise, and
now I think it's like how I was.

531
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:21.400
I don't know if it's my wheel
or what. I was like,

532
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:23.159
what if there's a mouse in my
car? But how would that even happen?

533
00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:28.599
Like I've never even did a mouse
here? Oh my god? And

534
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:34.360
so I almost crashed. Yeah,
if there's drying in my car that I

535
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.159
just I can't drive. I need
to part because I will crash. Don't

536
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:39.800
even get sorry. I one time
there was a sucking b in my car.

537
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:43.760
Wow, I would die. And
I hadn't gone and I saw it

538
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:49.320
before. This is ridiculous, okay, because me and my husband we were

539
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.360
going inside my car and then we
saw the bee and then both of us

540
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.079
refusing to go inside the car,
and he wouldn't go and get the bee.

541
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:58.039
And I was like, are you
serious? You know that I'm afraid

542
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:01.800
of bees. I have a phobia
of bees, and he's just regularly scared

543
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:05.800
of bees. It's not a phobia. It's not a phobia. So it's

544
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:07.679
like, Okay, if you don't
have a phobia, then you have to

545
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:09.039
be the brave, winning you'll get
to be. Yeah. And then some

546
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:14.840
guy that was outside the store,
you know the cardboard sign, he used

547
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.320
that, and I like him because
I was like, well, I'm not

548
00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:19.960
gonna do it, and neither is
Paul. So he went inside of my

549
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.920
car and he got to be out. This is hilarious. Wow you tell

550
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:28.000
me this. Oh yeah, So
I'm not surprised by Any's like, thank

551
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:31.880
you sir. Wow. But imagine
if I heard that while I was driving,

552
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:36.920
I wouldn't be here today. Yeah, yeah, I would probably be.

553
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:39.880
Yeah. This is why I don't
drive to Bakersfield. There's a lot

554
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:45.679
of not because I'm in another state. No, it's because also the father,

555
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:50.480
right. I just remember that.
I was like, the bees,

556
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.440
the bees. I know they're dying, but I'm afraid of them. I

557
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:58.280
will I will help them from afar. I will hold them by keeping my

558
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:00.719
distance. Yeah, because if you
get near when you're gonna like swing at

559
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:04.599
it, No, I'll run for
my life. No, you will,

560
00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:07.679
you will. We might as well
tell the story already. When we were

561
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.199
kids and we were in the Oakland
Zoo, Carmen and Louise have like ice

562
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.760
cream or popsicles or something. I
don't remember. I just remember it melting

563
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.280
in my hands as I was frozen
in fear. Yeah, and then they

564
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:22.719
were surrounded by honestly and four bees. Yeah. But in my little kid

565
00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:25.760
head, which is how I remember
it now, it was a swarm of

566
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.400
bees and you were screaming. You're
screaming, and I think away, Yes,

567
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.760
yeah, I ran away. I
was going to save myself and me

568
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.760
and Louise we froze, Yeah,
Carmen and our brother, and we were

569
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:44.679
screaming, frozen from these swarm of
bees. I were in reality probably four

570
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.559
bees, yeah, screaming for our
parents. And ever since then, Carmen

571
00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:52.559
has been very, very afraid of
bees. Remember as teens, we went

572
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:54.000
to I don't know what lake,
and I didn't get out of the car

573
00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:00.239
because there was bees. Yes,
I remember, I just left me in

574
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:02.880
my in the fucking car and they
went to enjoy whatever time with you guys,

575
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:07.519
and I was just there in the
car we left. Yeah. Yeah,

576
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:09.079
well this and this just shows that
it's a real fear of beace.

577
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:15.320
It's not like a normal fear.
Yeah, but yeah, those have been

578
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.840
the hunted statues, you know,
a little bonus when in California. But

579
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:23.440
the other one in a Chiawa,
Mexico. And there's more a hunter statues

580
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:28.400
that we've already shared throughout the podcast. There's one in Well, no,

581
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:30.079
this isn't a statue. It's more
like a tombstone. I think it kind

582
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.000
of counts as a statue. But
there's one in Halisco. It's not it's

583
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.960
another town in Jalisco. I forgot
the name of it. But this grave,

584
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:43.440
like this is a very homophobic legend, I think. But you've already

585
00:40:43.440 --> 00:40:45.920
shared it. I don't remember.
I don't remember if I shared it on

586
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:47.960
TikTok or on the podcast, but
I was just a very short version of

587
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.360
it. And I want to say, it's say Jalisco, and none of

588
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.039
this sounds familiar. I don't think
you shared it on the podcast. Ah,

589
00:40:55.079 --> 00:41:00.960
there we go. It's even turned
into a movie. In a movie

590
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:04.960
from the nineteen eighties with Antonio hi, lad. But according to a legend,

591
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:08.360
the there's this statue and well,
this cemetery is haunted, right,

592
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:14.199
and they would say that if you
went around a certain time, this statue

593
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:16.360
would tell you where the treasure was, but you had to do it a

594
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:22.119
favor, and it was a sexual
favor and the man. So a man

595
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:24.199
was like tricked by his friend to
go to the cemetery because he owned the

596
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:27.559
money, and he's like, you
need to get this treasure because like you

597
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.039
owe me money. He needs to
give me my money, and so he

598
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:32.800
goes and then it's like midnight or
whatever, and he's like, all right,

599
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:36.320
well, my friend told me that
I had to come here at midnight

600
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:38.360
and talk to you because it's like
a statue of a ghost. And then

601
00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:43.800
the man's spirit is said to also
manifest where the statue is at, and

602
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:47.519
so then he tells this statue that
he's here for the treasure, and then

603
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:50.800
the ghost is like, oh,
yes, it's right over there, but

604
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:52.360
first you have to like, I
don't know, I'll tickle my butt or

605
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.679
something like. It doesn't actually say
tickle my butt, but it's like a

606
00:41:55.719 --> 00:42:01.159
sexual favor. And then and then
ever the guy runs out of the cemetery

607
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:05.639
and then never since. Then he
holds his hands behind his butt because he's

608
00:42:05.679 --> 00:42:08.320
like anyone anything in my butt.
I'm feel scared, Like, oh my

609
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:14.960
god, it's a ridiculous legend,
Like that's that's the legend. Are you

610
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:17.320
serious? Yeah, that's a very
short version of it. It's it's I'm

611
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:24.400
like, why does this even exist? Wow? Yeah, I'm and not

612
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:31.000
shocked weirded out by that story.
Yeah, it's strange. Yeah, that's

613
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:34.880
weird. Anyway, this brings us
to the end of the episode. Do

614
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:38.639
you have any spooky recommendations? I
think the only one I have is and

615
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:44.320
you said it. I think lots
episode that there's a spooky ish episode of

616
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:49.159
this fool that was funny. And
I just finished this season earlier today.

617
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.039
Oh you did? Yeah? Did
you like it? I did? I

618
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:54.519
did. It was pretty funny.
I was. I was talking to her

619
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:58.639
brother about it and he was like, I liked it. I loved it.

620
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:01.480
But I hate Julio. Oh my
god. Well, I don't think

621
00:43:01.480 --> 00:43:05.960
he's supposed to be likable. I
think he's supposed to be like, like

622
00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:09.840
a nice guy. Yeah, but
he's terrible really yeah, yeah, and

623
00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:14.000
they really and it's like how we
talked about before how we like shows where

624
00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:19.119
everyone's horrible to each other. Yeah, and he's those truly, Yeah,

625
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.000
he really is. And we both
Louise and me both agree that Louise is

626
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.079
our favorite character. Yeah, he's
my favorite. Yeah, not to that

627
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:32.360
minister Pain. He's also horrible,
Yeah he is. Everyone is equally horrible.

628
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:35.880
Yeah, they're all. I feel
like Louise is the least horrible.

629
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.400
Actually, actually I do. He's
he may be the convicted felon, but

630
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:42.519
he is the least horrible. And
that's a real lesson of the show.

631
00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:45.800
I was gonna say that has to
be like the purpose. Yeah, I'm

632
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.039
sure, I'm sure. Yeah.
You know he's called funny though he like

633
00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.760
goes on and on, like like
when he was recording the video, Wait

634
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.719
did you finish it? Yes,
I've watched the whole thing, and I

635
00:43:54.800 --> 00:44:00.920
like a day oh where he was
recording the video to propose to Ruby,

636
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.119
and then he's like, oh,
then we might dine in a plane crash

637
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:07.320
and our our grandkids will be like
and would be like, it's okay,

638
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:12.400
we're in heaven. It's tied up
here, but we missed you guys.

639
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.679
That's like, why would you go
on that. Yeah, like rambling,

640
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:21.519
it's hilarious. My favorite, though, is from last season when he dressed

641
00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:23.840
up as that dinosaur in the group
and everyone's like, you need to be

642
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:30.119
serious, and they realized that the
metaphor of Austin Powers was actually serious.

643
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.239
Yeah, yeah, that was funny. It's a good show. If anyone

644
00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.159
has not watched it, like,
what are you doing? Yeah, I've

645
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:39.719
been working left and right to everybody. Me too, me too. I've

646
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:44.000
already mentioned it, like you said, yeah, like two episodes ago,

647
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.920
and yeah, I don't think I've
watched anything else. I've been watching Mergers

648
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:53.840
in the Building and it's spooky in
the sense of crime. Yeah, and

649
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:58.480
which we also enjoy here. Yeah, I'm enjoyed the wrong word. But

650
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:04.679
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but no, yeah,

651
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.239
I haven't really watched anything spooky or
okay, yeah, well, since you

652
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:10.679
brought up a crime, there is
a documentary on a loose del Mundo,

653
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:15.880
which you me and you did an
episode on here, so it's I think,

654
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:17.440
God, I don't remember if it's
a one full documentary, if it

655
00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:22.159
has episodes. I'm pretty sure it's
like four or six episode thing. I

656
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.039
could be wrong. It's on HBO
it's on Max. My bad, it's

657
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:28.800
not HBO Max anymore. But I've
watched a couple episodes of it. Horrible,

658
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:31.599
horrible stuff, but very informative.
Damn, you still need to share

659
00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:34.840
your password with me, by the
way, Oh my god, I thought

660
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.679
I already did that. You did
by lost it somewhere like it's too far

661
00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:39.079
back in the messages to scroll.
Oh my god. Okay, Welson,

662
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:43.960
it's cool, thank you. Yeah. I think that's the only thing I've

663
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.679
been watching. I have been meaning
to check this podcast out for so long,

664
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:51.239
and I finally did it, but
I don't. So I listened to

665
00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:55.840
It's Snap Judge, Snap presents Spooked
or something held on It's oh no,

666
00:45:55.880 --> 00:46:00.599
I can't, my phone's over there. This is just my case. Wow,

667
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:05.559
let me see Spooked by Snap Judgment. I think it's very popular.

668
00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:09.280
People go on and tell their their
own scary stories. There's a host that

669
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:13.480
is like presenting a story, right, and so I listened to one called

670
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:16.320
Las Muniekas, because it's a guy, you know, telling his story in

671
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:21.320
Spanish. However, I do not
like when someone is telling their story in

672
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.920
Spanish, and so they start their
story and then like fades out and then

673
00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:28.039
there's a voice actor that comes in
and says it in English. But then

674
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:30.800
they get that guy in accent.
Oh, And I'm like, I get

675
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:35.239
it. I don't know. I
just like I know it's I know why

676
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.360
it's done. I get it.
It's it's an English audience. But if

677
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:44.360
you're translating already, like we know
the accent is forced, right, we

678
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:47.199
know it's you can or do you
think it's not? Maybe it's not,

679
00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:50.679
but it feels like it. But
I could be wrong. I could be

680
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:53.079
wrong. It sounds just to me. When I was reading for a studies

681
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:57.719
unknown, I was reading that Coca
Cola book, and whenever the author would

682
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:02.480
read quotes that were said by the
union workers, which of course were either

683
00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:07.719
Colombian or was the other place the
stories took place, they were Central America.

684
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:13.440
Yeah, he would use an accent, but I knew the author,

685
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:19.039
the voice author or whatever they're called, voice actor narrator spoke English normally,

686
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:21.840
and then he would put on this
accent, and I'm like, okay,

687
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:23.480
you don't have to put on this
accent, Like I don't like this.

688
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:28.679
Yeah, I found that I very
much prefer Like there's a podcast called True

689
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.320
scary story, which I do story
editing for, and then someone else comes

690
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:36.400
in and does a sound design that's
by Edwyn on Scary FM. That's and

691
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:38.480
so it's people telling their own scary
story. And then he has a Spanish

692
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:45.280
version of it called just Realist or
something like that, and it's just someone

693
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:46.920
just telling their full story in Spanish. And I'm like, I prefer that

694
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:51.880
because there's no one coming in and
speaking over them, where you can hear

695
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.800
the Spanish very very very quietly in
the background and someone speaking over them.

696
00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:00.199
I think I just would rather hear
the full story in that person's language if

697
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:04.679
I can. Yeah, but it's
not. It's not always possible, you

698
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:08.239
know, no exactly, Like I
get it that podcast Spooked has a like

699
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:13.360
main mainly English speaking audience, but
because I know Spanish, I can hear

700
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.199
the background, and I think it's
just distracting to me because when that processing

701
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:21.559
both want yeah, because you know
both languages. Yeah, documentaries do it

702
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:23.880
all the time too, they do, yeah, and it is still distracting.

703
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:29.280
I'm just like, so, so, yeah, but the episode is

704
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:30.639
good. I mean, people,
it's people telling their own scary stories.

705
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.599
It's always good. Another one I've
been meaning to check out is Jim Harold's

706
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.159
Campfire Stories. Oh, I always
hear them talk about it on and that's

707
00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:40.679
why we drink, but I've never
checked it out. Yeah, I think

708
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.880
it's the same vibe. But I
think people call in to tell us stories.

709
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.280
I don't think they're prerecorded and then
like edited into it. I think

710
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:51.960
people are just calling in telling it. So I want to check that out.

711
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:53.039
I've been meaning to if I mean, if anyone has like a really

712
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:55.519
good episode that are like, if
you're gonna listen to it, listen to

713
00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:59.519
this episode, let me know,
let me know. But yeah, I

714
00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:01.920
guess that's to the end of the
episode. Now officially, before we go,

715
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:07.159
