00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:06,599
You're listening to the Paranormal UK Radio
Network, the best in paranormal talk radio

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:13,320
in the UK and around the world. Paranormal Dimensions is fortnightly on Mondays on

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:19,960
the Paranormal UK Radio Network. Never
such violent, vicious horror, never such

4
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:25,399
stark, nerve shattering terror, and
never a woman who loved like this,

5
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:33,640
her schizophrantic embraces making corpses of her
lovers, their bodies savagely scarred by the

6
00:00:33,920 --> 00:01:32,400
flesh ripping clock of vampire beast graves
blood. What's the idea of the life

7
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:45,120
being out? And you take a
fine time for it? Hello and welcome

8
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:48,760
to the show. I'm David Young. Well, I've had some amazing news

9
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,079
this week. Paranormal Dimensions has ended
up in the final three in the nominations

10
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:59,239
for a GPN award, and that's
with the Ghost Planet Network. So I

11
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:02,680
must think every body for voting for
the show. It's amazing news and thank

12
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,199
you so much. Unbelievable really,
Okay, this show was intended to have

13
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:12,360
two guests on it, but unfortunately
one of them can't attend today, so

14
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,960
we'll have her on another point.
But one of those guests announced on the

15
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:22,759
last show is able to attend.
Her name's Rachel Ashman. Rachel is one

16
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,039
of the owners and organizers of Festival
of the Unexplained, which we have here

17
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,039
in the UK. My wife have
attended the previous two and the third one

18
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,520
is coming up next year for twenty
twenty four, so we'll be talking a

19
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,759
bit about the twenty twenty three one
and the twenty twenty four one coming up,

20
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,000
and all I can say is that
if the twenty twenty four one is

21
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,080
as good as the twenty twenty three
one, it's going to be amazing.

22
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:53,520
So we'll be talking about that in
the new year, or we'll be having

23
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,759
some other of the organizers and the
older namely Karen, Jemma and Nikki,

24
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,639
and then it'll be having our own
separate show so we can talk about all

25
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,520
sorts of things about the festival and
their own outlook for it, and we'll

26
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,599
find out a bit about all of
them. But for this show, I'm

27
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:13,639
really pleased to welcome Rachel Eshmand to
the show. Hello, Rachel, welcome

28
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,680
to the show. Good evening,
David, thank you for having me.

29
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,439
No, I'm very pleased to welcome
you sort of show. We've had an

30
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:25,000
amazing year with the Festival The Unexplained
twenty twenty three. Yeah, we're still

31
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:31,199
recovering from it. Actually this end
after that booze. Oh, I don't

32
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,759
know. I think some of us
worked really hard. It was a very

33
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,800
very long weekend. There's that a
lot of preparation goes into the festival every

34
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:44,800
year. It's I think you see, if people saw the photos on Facebook,

35
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,879
it looks like it was just a
long, boozy weekend, but it

36
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,759
wasn't quite like that at all.
No, but it was the perfect lighting

37
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,680
for selfies, you see, heavily
filtered selfies. So that's probably why there

38
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,639
are more photos of everybody socializing out
of the actual event. It's just down

39
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,879
to line thing. Also, the
Festive explaineds be put up with a gp

40
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,199
IN Award, which is the Ghost
Planet Network, and luckily Perible Dimension has

41
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:14,719
been put up for it as well. Congratulations we're in the final indeed,

42
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:18,519
which is actually mind blowing to me, you know. But so I think

43
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,759
the festival, their explaining actually really
does deserve of it. I'm not quite

44
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,120
sure about my show. Oh,
I don't know. I think you're selling

45
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,959
yourself a bit short that. I
don't think it's any surprise that you've been

46
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:34,800
nominated, And what's been great about
about the awards and that the nomination process

47
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,439
is that it's actually been people.
People have been able to choose themselves,

48
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:43,160
people have been able to put their
own nominations in and who they're looking forward

49
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,879
to seeing and who they like working
with, you like watching the events they

50
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:50,279
like to attend as well. So
I'm really honored that we've been recognized in

51
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,839
that nomination process, and I think
it just goes to show how popular your

52
00:04:55,879 --> 00:05:00,439
show's becoming as well. So nominated, it's really wind blowing. I couldn't

53
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,480
believe it. Well, I saw
that. You know, is this crazy

54
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,199
when you think there's all those sales
as of podcast out there in the unexplained

55
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:15,839
area paralleal there's thousands literally, well
probably tens of hundreds anyway. But I

56
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,199
think one of the great things,
one of the great things about your your

57
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,040
podcast, though, David, is
that you speak to real people, and

58
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,560
these are people that have got real
experiences. They run teams, and it

59
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,720
becomes like a friendship network rather than
it it's just somebody that you're seeing on

60
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,240
TV on a regular basis. You're
opening up platforms for people that wouldn't necessarily

61
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:41,560
get those, so I think it's
a great opportunity for people to come on

62
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:46,279
and talk about their experiences and what
they love and different elements of paranormal and

63
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:49,439
supernatural. It's not just focused on
this as ghost hunting, and that is

64
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:54,480
the USOS. It's so broad and
you give people that platform, so we

65
00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:57,439
should be thanking you, and I
think that nomination is well deserved. So

66
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,600
congratulations, thank you. But it
is true is obviously down to the guests

67
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,360
that I can get. I mean, I've had some big name guests that's

68
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,959
a bigger, bigger names, and
I've had some small names as well,

69
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,319
but there all been fairly interesting guests. I must say. I've had the

70
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:15,839
odd one or two that have a
bit a bit strange. But well,

71
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:23,040
I'm not naming any names, but
you tell me one more off record stops.

72
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,680
No, but the festival that I've
explained, I'm looking forward to next

73
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,319
year, the twenty twenty four,
but let's have a little bit of a

74
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,680
talk about the festival for twenty twenty
three, which we've just passed a little

75
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:38,879
a few months back. You had
such amazing guests there. Dave Schrader,

76
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Yeah, yeah, Dave Schrader,
Yeah, Dunny mask. Yeah, he's

77
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,759
great. Rob Thompson back for a
second visit again, he was there twenty

78
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:55,199
twenty two. Darryl Marston from Ghost
Hunters. We had Jay Austin, thepologist

79
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,959
Neil story, the lovely Neil story, the history and horror story, the

80
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,240
old rogue, always good for a
story, and he did a great adult

81
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:10,639
to believe in the party in the
evening. But so he did. I

82
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,639
have some wonderful video evidence of that
and I may share it. I may

83
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:18,120
share it. Yeah, I saw
a bit of it and we got a

84
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:24,920
lovely Penny Griffiths good as it was
the local historian for then. She's actually

85
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,839
part of the team now, isn't
she understand? Yeah, we've kind of

86
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:32,600
we've kind of roped in a little
bit. So it's every year she blows

87
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:39,160
us away with the locations that she
takes us to and just how engaging she

88
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:44,839
as while she's doing these tours.
There's so much research goes into the locations

89
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:47,319
that she takes us to, and
the way that she delivers that information isn't

90
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:53,920
just somebody stood there and this is
where somebody did this. If you look

91
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,079
here, this world Garden was built
in eighteen forty two. She's up there

92
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,720
talking about people with pokers at their
bottom, and you know, she might

93
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,560
drop a couple of squear words in
there, and she encourages everybody else to

94
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,079
get involved as well. At Wear
Crown this year, Rob loves to get

95
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,079
himself thrown in there as well,
and he likes to act like a king.

96
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:18,680
It's great, but she includes everybody
and what would usually maybe be a

97
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,519
two hour being talked at tour turns
into something that's so quick. It's like,

98
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,680
is that it? It's like,
I want to go again. It

99
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,680
was great. So she's so engaging
and so encouraging when she's doing these tours.

100
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:35,600
She makes history so fascinating that we
just don't want to let her leave.

101
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,600
So as a result, we've asked
to come on board as our team

102
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,200
historian in order to be able to
do these events every year, to be

103
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,159
able to go and do these day
trips. So Penny chooses the location and

104
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:52,240
Nicki, who is one of the
event organizers, she heads off and she

105
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,919
starts booking everything and then we just
rock up on the day and Penny just

106
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,360
smashes it with knowledge and the props
as well. She always brings props it's

107
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:09,000
great. So we couldn't let Petny
go. We couldn't let Penny defect or

108
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,600
go somewhere else, and we just
want to keep hold of her forever.

109
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,399
But she's such a great asset to
the festival. So yeah, she's she's

110
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,519
listed as part of the team,
but she's also one of our key speakers

111
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,759
as well, so she will always
speak at the events and she'll always be

112
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:28,360
on the post for everything. So
she's she's got two hats when it comes

113
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:31,600
to the festival. As Penny.
She has been on the show. Actually,

114
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:35,120
she's very interested on the show.
It's brilliant and the name you mentioned

115
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,679
just now Nikki, she's going to
be on the show earlier in the new

116
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,200
year. So she said the post
of the other day, when I'm doing

117
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,399
a thing, I'm like, what's
the thing? I'm doing a chat and

118
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,960
I'm like show, like who's it
with you? She sent the picture,

119
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,960
so she's super excited about that.
It's it's not often that we do things

120
00:09:54,639 --> 00:10:01,120
solo. We don't tend to do
things step up there individually. NICKI general

121
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,120
thought when you said so low,
I thought you'd been sort of low down

122
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,159
on the picking order, not exactly
what I mean no sol. Sorry,

123
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:15,120
apology. It must be the Yorkshire
accent because NICKI general and I we're we're

124
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:18,440
in a team, so we go
out, we do we do events.

125
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:20,600
We only tend to do two or
three a year, but we we bring

126
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,559
over some of the people that you
see on TV quite frequently and we do

127
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:30,519
quite large scale events with them.
So we have our own team. So

128
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:33,519
usually when we're doing podcasts, our
interviews, or we're appearing at conferences,

129
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,840
it's as a team rather than solo. So I'm really excited to listen to

130
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,320
Nicky's to see what she's got to
say, because I'm the one that tends

131
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,840
to do all the talking, and
then she's messaging me in the background saying,

132
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:50,639
rain it in, Rachel, it's
raining in. So it's so I'm

133
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,679
really glad that she's got an opportunity
to come and speak because it's something you

134
00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:56,399
don't get to do very often.
It's good. I'll see what we can

135
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,639
dig out of I'll see if I'll
dig some secrets out from them, not

136
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:05,519
about me though you're not allowed to
use them. And I've also got Jemma

137
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,759
coming on as well. Now tonight's
show. This show we're doing there.

138
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,960
We were supposed to have Karen with
us as well, Karen Fray, but

139
00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:16,480
unfortunately she's working, so we had
to do a quick change and you're on

140
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:18,279
your own. But I will get
I will get Karen to do a show

141
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,960
on her own as well, so
you've all so we'll ever a four up

142
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:28,000
show. So you've will there to
go and the only one that makes sense.

143
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,039
So it's better to start with me, get all the sensible information first

144
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,440
and then worry about everybody else.
Yeah, I was thinking that if it

145
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,039
was your card or the show,
so I could just sit back and let

146
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:43,240
you roll away, I would have
to say much because no, you don't

147
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,960
want that. That would have turned
into chaos. We'd have forgot you were

148
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,919
there and then would have been letting
secret sleep and should have been swearing,

149
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,279
and I'd have called her all sorts
of aims. So it's probably would I

150
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:01,240
tell you what, Let's talk a
little bit more about the what we've just

151
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,159
had this. What was your favorite
part of the festival? Do you think

152
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,000
my favorite part? What I thought
was really looked at. There are so

153
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:15,840
many things that I loved about the
festival. One of the great things about

154
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:18,480
it was that we had a coach
tour join us this year. So Dave

155
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:24,399
Schreder Neil's story. They were doing
a tour of the UK with some American

156
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,759
guests and they'd only been on the
coach together for about two three days before

157
00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:31,080
they turned up to Boss with Paul
and I checked them all in on the

158
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:35,440
Thursday evening and everybody knew each other, and they all knew each other's names,

159
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:39,399
and they were helping each other with
bags, and it like there'd been

160
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,559
lifelong friends. And they walked into
the room to join everyone else, to

161
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:50,159
join the British contingency, and they
were just welcomed. And before we knew,

162
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:52,759
everybody knew everybody else's names, and
you've got Americans sat with bricks and

163
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:58,759
they were swapping telephone numbers, taking
selfies and there was just there was no

164
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,639
divide there at all. They came
and they were welcomed, and I think

165
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:05,960
that speaks volumes for the kind of
people that we have that turn up to

166
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,039
the festival year and year out.
We have a great set of people that

167
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,039
come. The guests are amazing,
the speakers are great, and there's no

168
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,399
no nobody seems to think that they're
better than anyone else. We're all just

169
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:24,360
people turning up, spend some time
with like minded folks, make some friends,

170
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,159
see some people we see on the
telly and that we respect to admire.

171
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,279
And it's just really nice to see
people come together, regardless of where

172
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,240
you're from. Where You've had somebody
that flew all the way over from Ireland

173
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:41,000
and she came alone, and by
the time she left, you know,

174
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:45,600
she'd made so many friends and she's
had photos with everybody and she'd just had

175
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:48,360
a really great time. So it's
really nice to see how everybody comes together

176
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:52,039
and makes friends. And that's what
I love when you see everybody leaving with

177
00:13:52,159 --> 00:14:00,120
new friendships. Yeah, and it's
like you and I we'd never connect just

178
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,960
before the festival, well dodged by
the way. You've managed to escape you

179
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,879
all these years, but now you
stuck with me and I'm going to come

180
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,240
visit you next year. Jill says
hello by the way, while she says

181
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:18,600
looking for looking forward to seeing you
again, not just you, everybody else.

182
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,879
She definitely means me, but congratulations
on send your anniversary as well.

183
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:28,279
I was lovely to see how she
hasn't strangled you yet, is or be

184
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:37,639
hush when she starts singing. When
she starts singing sometimes but she's not listening.

185
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:46,600
I love her patients. But that's
I think that's another great thing as

186
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,039
well about the festival is that,
Yeah, another great example of how a

187
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,639
para unity of how people come together
is we'd gone on the coach on the

188
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,639
day trip and we've made sandwiches and
we've got loads of snacks and drinks,

189
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,919
and rather than it just be Nikki
Gemmer and I carrying everything, other people

190
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,240
came to the coach to help with
that. It's you know that there's no

191
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,960
well I'm paying guests, I'm not
doing that. Everybody kind of gets stuck

192
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:16,159
in and everybody looks after each other. It's not us against them kind of

193
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,440
thing. Everybody just wants to be
involved, no matter how small that part

194
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,240
might be. And that's what's really
lovely about the festival as well, is

195
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:28,320
those connections, not just you know, your networking opportunities, but real connections

196
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:33,080
with people that you may not bump
into on a regular basis. I think

197
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,919
that when we look at when I
look at who went to the festival this

198
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,080
year, I keep trying to say
last year because it's already been. Yeah,

199
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:43,840
last year, yeah, I keep
saying last year. I do it

200
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:48,639
every time and I have to correct
myself. But the festival in twenty three,

201
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,399
when we look at where people were
from, if we look at them

202
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:56,759
where that they located geographically, there
weren't that many from up north, so

203
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,080
there weren't that many Northerners. We
had the Kindred Spirits investigations. They came

204
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,480
down there a little further north than
me, their Newcastle Way, but everybody

205
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,360
else was kind of Midlands and down
south. And I think it's it's really

206
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,759
great now that I can say I've
actually got some friends that live in Portsmouth,

207
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,799
and I've met some great people that
were being Chelmsford and then go.

208
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,960
I know that I can go and
drop in any time I want to welcome

209
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
and investigations or just go and hang
out with them if I'm in the area.

210
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,120
And there's an opportunity that would never
have had had it had not been

211
00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:33,240
for the festival. So I think
it's a great opportunity to make some some

212
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,519
beautiful friends. It is. Yeah, definitely now this year, here are

213
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:42,759
go doing it? Next year?
You are doing it now twenty four?

214
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:47,919
Yeah, No, I don't know
You're going to go back to twenty twenty

215
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,159
three, Again, that day out
that we hated, actually was a fantastic

216
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:56,480
day, wasn't it. The weather
was glorious, absolutely brilliant when you compare

217
00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,639
it to the year before when we
went to the the battlefield, the buzz

218
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:07,680
tracking it there all day long.
But this was absolutely beautiful day at the

219
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:12,079
castle. And yeah, that was
a fantastic day, I must say.

220
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,680
With Rob Tompson putting the crown wan
to being the king and everything, it

221
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:21,759
just made them He just loved to
Yeah, he just loved to dress up.

222
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,400
And Penny was like, come stand
over here, please, Rachel.

223
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,279
That okay, Like, now put
this crown on. So I struck a

224
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,400
crown on. Next thing. I'm
married to Danny Moss. When did this

225
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:36,200
happen? So she does like to
get people involved, and I think it's

226
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,319
great, you know, to inject
a bit of humor. History isn't just

227
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,599
you know, it isn't just battles
into caplications, and it isn't just all

228
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:48,599
buildings that were set fire. It's
it's a chance to know where we come

229
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,119
from. And there are some real
characters that I love the way that Penny's

230
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,480
able to bring those characters to life
by using us, although next time I'm

231
00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:00,440
not getting involved. I will just
take the photos because I looked so round

232
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:08,319
and terrible in those photographs of myself
if it was the angle. But I'm

233
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,920
not getting involved. Next time she
can choose a new victim for the next

234
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:15,440
tour. So I'm looking forward to
next ye because obviously I know what we're

235
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,279
doing next year and I'm not I'm
not disclosing that, so you're not going

236
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:22,519
to get that out of me today. We're going next year. In a

237
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:29,799
minute, it's going to take more
than that to buy me chocolate. But

238
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,240
the next year is slightly different.
It was still doing the day trip again,

239
00:18:34,759 --> 00:18:40,720
but it's a little there are parts
of it we coolvention or no,

240
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,759
but we'll get around to that.
But I'll tell you what I really thought

241
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:51,599
was amazing the fact that we were
doing paranormal investigations with Dave Schrader. I

242
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,240
mean, big, can you,
yeah, how often can you say that

243
00:18:56,279 --> 00:19:00,920
you did an e BP session with
Dave Shrader? I was not there,

244
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,960
and I'm like, this is really
surreal. This is the kind of thing

245
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:07,799
you see on TV. And he's
so passionate about what he does as well

246
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:11,440
methods that he uses so he's actually
got the little recorder that he uses on

247
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:17,440
the show. He loved it.
It was actually like being in the TV

248
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:21,839
show, wasn't it really? And
what was great about investigating with Dave as

249
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,480
well as it wasn't just Dave leading
on that He wasn't just Dave that was

250
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:27,799
doing it, you know he was. He was like right, everybody asked

251
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,200
questions, this is how it works. So he took you through the method

252
00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:36,599
and engineer that the different sort of
vocal tones that come through on those recorders.

253
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,119
So I know that quite a few
people learn quite a lot from him.

254
00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:47,279
But we tried to do something different
with each investigator throughout the course of

255
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:52,319
the evening, no matter what room
we were in. When so my team,

256
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,759
I actually took some of the guys
from Bottles to the Paranormal. They

257
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,559
were in my team, So I
went with Nando and Sarah and a few

258
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:03,720
others, and we'd started off actually
with Neil and Dave and we'd gone down

259
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,880
to the Dice Art room, did
some vps in there, got some got

260
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,960
some pretty interesting sounds coming through,
and we could actually hear things in real

261
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,920
time as well, rather than it
just being an e VP. So we

262
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:18,160
did we did catch quite a bit
in there, and then the next room

263
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,519
we went to, we were actually
with Jay and Daryl, and we thought

264
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:26,400
that might be an interesting combination to
put them both together. Just before we

265
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,039
joined them, they'd actually caught some
really great e vps. What sounded like

266
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:37,799
a human replicating a dog barking,
Yes, that your tao. Jay was

267
00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:41,319
banging on about that for hours.
He was so blown away by it.

268
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,680
He was banged on about it,
well, probably days actually. He thought

269
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,160
it was the greatest thing he's ever
heard. But it's something that he would

270
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,000
never have thought to have done because
he's not necessarily an investigator. It's not

271
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,880
his area of expertise, whereas that
that was Daryl's. So it was nice

272
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,279
that Daryl was able to bring something
new for j But when my team went

273
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:06,640
to go and join Jane Daryl,
we always sat around the table. It

274
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,799
was a little bit flat, nothing
was really happening. I just thought,

275
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:11,960
you know what, let's do something
different. I nipped off into the corridor,

276
00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:15,519
came back with the table, and
so a few of them tried tables

277
00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:21,519
to prom for the first time.
So we sat around the table and they

278
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:26,119
were actually feeling that the table vibrating
quite quite vigorously. I put my hand

279
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,720
on it. He could actually feel
the table really vibrating. It was a

280
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:33,160
so concrete floor. Everybody had the
lightest of touches and you could actually see

281
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,640
the reaction out on Darryl's face and
particularly they were done table tipping. Wasn't

282
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,559
particularly interested in it, and he
seemed quite it seemed quite impressed with it.

283
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,839
Saying for Jay and the other people
around the table, we did an

284
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,519
experiment where everybody took at the hands
off the table one at a time.

285
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,599
It was still vibrating, so it
was just really nice to mix it up

286
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:56,079
a little bit. And then my
group ended up in that was actually my

287
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,119
bedroom in the end, so everybody
went to my bedroom. We didn't have

288
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,079
a well party, but then Rob
Thompson was able to do his thing and

289
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,960
Penny was there to corroborate as well, so she knows all that the history

290
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,680
from the building. She was able
to say whether the things that were coming

291
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,000
through, what the people coming through
to Rob accurate. So it was a

292
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:18,920
really good night. It was nice
to be able to investigate at Bosworth.

293
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:25,119
But what we've done for next year
is we're taking that investigation outside of Bosworth

294
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,480
Hall, and that's just because we
have so many returning guests. We don't

295
00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:32,799
want to just keep selling the same
thing to people. We think it's a

296
00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:37,519
little unfair to expect people to investigate
the same rooms, especially if it's not

297
00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:44,400
particularly active. We're conscious that people
want to experience something new, and by

298
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:48,200
using Bosworth Hall for the third year
and a road just takes away that magical

299
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,559
a bit. We'll still be there
anyway. You can sort of still little

300
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:56,839
bits of the investigations if you want
to do your own going. Absolutely,

301
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,759
some of the rooms are wide open. There are lots of commune spaces,

302
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,920
so if you are wanting to go
to the festival and maybe do a little

303
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,319
bit of investigating in Boswe or take
some kit with you, set it up

304
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:11,559
in your bedrooms. You go down
to the Wollstone Lounge as well. That's

305
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:17,039
a great location in the Wollstone so
a lot of things happen in that room.

306
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,480
Just set up some kits, sit
there, chats and friends and just

307
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,640
see what happens. But we won't
be investigating as part of our itinery for

308
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:29,440
next year twenty twenty four. So
for next year, what we're going to

309
00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:33,079
do is We've actually booked the Justice
Galleries in Nottingham, so we're going to

310
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,440
do a coach trip on the Thursday
evening and take our paying guests through to

311
00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:44,279
Nottingham to the Justice Galleries, which
includes me, me and Jill. You

312
00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:47,839
deal, okay, have you give
you done the galleries before? Well?

313
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,240
I have been to go these twice
actually, but it's still it's still fascinating.

314
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,119
It's it is one of my favorite
locations in the United Kingdom. There

315
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,400
aren't many places at top it only
the Blacks One in York topsy for me.

316
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,119
But it's an incredible location. And
I know I've said this many times

317
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,640
on lots of chats from podcasts and
lives, but it is the only place

318
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,960
I've ever been to and I brought
home an attachment. There's been something that's

319
00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:18,319
come home with me, and this
was there was a rookie mistake. I

320
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,440
was stood at the end of the
pit. I think they've closed the pits

321
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,480
off at the moment, but I
was at the end of the pit,

322
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:26,599
so I'm like, right, you
don't have to be down here anymore.

323
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,759
You're free to go. Come on, let's go, come with me.

324
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,640
Well, I shouldn't have said that
should I because something did come with me

325
00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:36,079
and it came all the way back
to Yorkshire with me, and it terrorized

326
00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:38,920
that she was seven at the time, my seven year old daughter, and

327
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,640
it took some shifting did that so
I specialized in house cleansings and my goodness

328
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,559
did it put my skills to test. But we yeah, we did.

329
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,039
We brought something home that that weekend. But it just makes you want to

330
00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:56,240
go back again, like, who
on earth was that? Why did they

331
00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:00,039
come with it? What are they
there for? Lots of very strange experiences

332
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:03,720
at Justice Galleries, so I'm really
excited to be able to take everybody there.

333
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,039
We were also taking all the American
Coach Tour with us this year as

334
00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:11,119
well, so it's going to be
great for them to go and investigate somewhere

335
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,799
as olders Justice Galleries and see Nottingham
as well. Love Nottingham my favorite city.

336
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,480
Yeah. Is it so that the
Caves are involved in this as well

337
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,480
on this trip? Is that right? We're just waiting for confirmation because it

338
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,000
is on our booking forms. We
are waiting for confirmation with regards to the

339
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:33,279
Caves because the closing times are ever
so slightly different. If we're wanting to

340
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:37,240
split the caves as well. Some
I had to look at the logistics of

341
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,160
what found would get there for,
how long we'd actually have in the galleries,

342
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:44,640
and how long we'd have to be
able to turn out three teams three

343
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,200
groups within the caves as well.
So I'm waiting for confirmation from the caves

344
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:51,720
just to see if they can stay
up a little longer, because we don't

345
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,000
want to be abut to like So, we've got a really busy day on

346
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:57,400
the five early morning. For the
next early morning, yeah, so it's

347
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,359
going to be on the coach or
one o'clock. Everybody back at Bosworth for

348
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,279
about one thirty one five straight to
bed. I'm sending you all to bed.

349
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,799
We'll take flass of hot chocolate on
the coach with us, but everybody's

350
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,799
in bed for at least two o'clock, so that's the intention. And then

351
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,799
we're having a slightly later start then
on the Friday Friday trip, which I

352
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:26,680
can't tell you where it is,
which I already said, I'm sure it

353
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,839
will be amazing. It will Pennies
in charge of course, it's going to

354
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,000
be amazing. So yeah, I'm
excited about the trip next year. It

355
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,920
is a little bit different. It's
not just one location, so that is

356
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,839
the only clue that I'm going to
give you. It's not just one location.

357
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,720
So it is ever so slightly different. So we will be announcing some

358
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:51,759
more information about that. We've tried
to make it as accessible for everybody's possible,

359
00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:55,640
so everything's kind of flat, there's
going to be no climbing over things,

360
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,839
and you're going to see some real
history, some really beautiful locations whilst

361
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,319
we're in this particular place. And
it's not too far away either, so

362
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,799
that's why we can have it.
We can afford to have a later start

363
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,599
on the Friday. Yeah, we're
we're looking forward to it anyway. But

364
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,759
right now, let's get down to
the twenty twenty four guests, because this

365
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,880
is amazing. It's a right line, isn't it. This is actually mind

366
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,960
blowing. And anyone that doesn't know
this ship we've got, well you've got

367
00:27:27,559 --> 00:27:33,200
I should say it's a joint effort. It's a joint effort. Back,

368
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:41,000
Yes, he is, Cindy Kazar, yeah, and Shane Pittman, yeah,

369
00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:45,160
yeah, from the Wholeseophiles. Yeah, so this is this is the

370
00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:51,599
only time that the whole cast of
the hales of files have are going to

371
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,160
be seen in the United Kingdom.
It's not happened before, it's probably not

372
00:27:56,319 --> 00:28:00,079
likely to ever happen again. So
we are so honored that the three of

373
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,680
them are coming at the same time. They're all going to be in one

374
00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:06,440
room. So yes, we have
the Holes of Files coming, So that's

375
00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:10,000
pretty big for us. We're really
thrilled by it. And what's great is

376
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:14,960
that we don't just have Dave,
Shane and Cindy coming on the investigation when

377
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,519
it's on the Friday, sorry for
Thursday, that they're on the day trip

378
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:22,519
on the Friday also, but the
Friday evening, Cindy's actually going to be

379
00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:26,960
doing a platform evening for us.
So what we're doing is those that have

380
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:33,880
the Angelic tickets, they get to
go to Cindy's Platform evening. Now,

381
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,599
if anybody else would like to come
and see Cindy do her magic, do

382
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:44,319
her work, you can purchase a
ticket to see that through the custom build

383
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:48,319
your own Package link which is on
our website, which is Festival than Explained

384
00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:52,680
dot com going to tickets and you
can build your own package, create what

385
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:56,880
you want from there and you can
actually go and see Cindy that evening doing

386
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,039
an evening of the Platform Mediumship,
so really excited about that, and she's

387
00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:04,200
she's thrilled by it. So she
was like, Oh, I'll do it.

388
00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:07,400
I'll do it, We'll do the
Platform. It's like, yeah,

389
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,279
this is wonderful. And so we're
really excited by that. And then on

390
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:17,759
the Saturday, then we've also got
this. We have stallholders, got the

391
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:19,599
speakers, and then you'll be able
to go up and actually talk to the

392
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,000
cast of the Holes of Files.
They're going to be sat right there in

393
00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:26,759
the room and you can go and
approach them, get autographs by some merch

394
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,319
take some photos. So what I
love about that kind of atmosphere of where

395
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:37,319
we have the stallholders and the speakers
is that it's just so accessible. Nobody's

396
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,319
queuing, nobody's paying stupid money for
a photograph. You just turn up and

397
00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:45,279
talked to somebody like you've known them
years. So I'm really excited to see

398
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,200
that dynamic that the three of them
together and how they interact with guests.

399
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,039
I'm really excited about that. But
I love having Daves back. Dave's been

400
00:29:53,200 --> 00:30:00,240
a really great friend to the festival
since he appeared this year continue is to

401
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:03,519
be a great friend and support for
me personally. We met Shane for the

402
00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:07,480
first time the other the other week
we did the announcement. He seems like

403
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:11,920
a really great guy, going to
fit in perfectly. And Cindy has been

404
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:15,559
super busy, so whilst we've exchanged
messages, we've not yet had the opportunity

405
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,240
to have that live chat with her
and sort of do a big live announcement

406
00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:22,799
with her there sat in the chair
with us. So really looking forward to

407
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,319
meeting Shane and Cindy in person.
So it's really exciting. You're not going

408
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:34,039
to see it anywhere else or all
three of those going to be the Galleries

409
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:40,319
of Justice, Yes, so that
will be like an investigation for the Holes

410
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:44,279
of Falls that goes Yeah, you
will be Yeah, that's going to be

411
00:30:44,319 --> 00:30:47,920
amazing, investigating with the holes of
files. Yeah, it's amazing. That

412
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:52,960
is brilliant, that's fantastic, and
we look aft to you. We haven't

413
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,960
even finished talking about. And then
that's just the first three. That's the

414
00:30:57,039 --> 00:31:03,599
first three, which is a lot
of big one really as individuals as well.

415
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,279
But and the next one we've got
is Danny Walsh's can be back as

416
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:11,920
well. He was fantastic. He
is so Danny Moss brings something a little

417
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:18,160
bit different to the festival. He's
he's just sort of your average lad that

418
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:22,160
you would sit next to in a
pub, but his passion for the paranormal

419
00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:26,440
is just so contagious. And not
only does he have lots of other projects

420
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:29,359
going. One of the reasons why
we asked him back for this year.

421
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:36,759
I've done it again this year for
next year. Next year, we're almost

422
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:41,400
there. Let's get Christmas out of
the way, is that there's so much

423
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,480
happening at the moment within my Haunted
Hotel. It's such an incredible location.

424
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,240
If you haven't done my home today, tell in Chester, I highly recommend

425
00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:53,119
it. So. Karen and I
have been there twice. The first time

426
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,519
it was just Karen and I and
we were there with the members of the

427
00:31:56,599 --> 00:32:00,400
public. The second time he went, we actually stayed over with Daryl and

428
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:02,680
it was just the three of us
in that building on our own all night.

429
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,880
We're just cameras rolling and some of
the weirdest stuff happened in that In

430
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:13,680
that building, could hear women talking
in the bathroom and Karen was Karen was

431
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,839
asleep next to me, snoring so
I know it wasn't Karen, unless it's

432
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,720
like I'm hearing things and I've lost
my marbles. I could hear scratching on

433
00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:24,880
the wall. You could hear the
floorboards creaking. We'd all been in bed

434
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,799
for a good hour or two hours, the floorboards. I have no reason

435
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,079
to Greek. It's such an incredible
location. If you get the opportunity to,

436
00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:37,319
is it actually even worth driving up
for go and spend some time like

437
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,480
home today telling Chester it's absolutely brilliant. You won't regret it. Yeah,

438
00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:44,759
I've seen plenty of bits on the
on the TV or you know, or

439
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,240
YouTube, et cetera, and they
do have some amazing things happening in there.

440
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:52,119
But then he's then he's a great
guy. Anyway, it was great

441
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,920
to just walk up and talk to
and I'll show you a couple of photos.

442
00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:00,200
Actually that's air particle, that's parts
and stuff like that. Yeah,

443
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:06,160
he's not solved with the ORB thing. Nothing's an orb it's always dust.

444
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,000
But yeah, I think that I
like the way that Danny looks at things

445
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,359
as a skeptic as well. Not
you know, he's not straight away,

446
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,799
Oh that's absolutely a ghost. Oh
look at that like that it's an orb

447
00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:21,880
it's not it's duff. It's just
stuff. And I think he's got a

448
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,599
great way of he's got a great
way of saying things that some of us

449
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,519
are thinking. It just comes out
and says it's like calls a spade a

450
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:34,440
spade. But we kind of like
that dynamic, you know that he brings.

451
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,240
He's just a normal guy who's passionate
about what he does. He's succeeding

452
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:42,400
in what he does. It's been
a great sense of humor. He's a

453
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:46,880
great people person as well. We'll
talk to anybody, except when he vanishes

454
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,960
to go watch his football team lose
on the TV. So he's Yeah,

455
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,440
he brings a, you know,
a really great dynamic to the festival as

456
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,319
well, and we're just like being
around him. He's got great energy and

457
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,680
he's so popular with with all the
speakers, other speakers and the guests that

458
00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:06,440
came in twenty twenty three. So
we want a thing back. We want

459
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,039
to know what's happening at the hotel
because it's such a great it's a great

460
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:15,199
investigation and it's a long, long
term experiment, and I think it's it's

461
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,840
great to hear how that's progressing.
So there we love Danny and he's coming

462
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,760
back. Would see he reacts with
the other people that are coming over with

463
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,039
that, Dave Schrader and Cynthia and
everything. And are they going to get

464
00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:32,639
the shots to go to the hotels? You think? I hand Tali Shaw

465
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,760
because the schedule for the coach tour
that Dave the Dave is on, I

466
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:43,159
an't entirely shure where they're going to
get the opportunity to And we're looking at

467
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:47,119
logistics of where we're going to take
people before the festival. Cindy I believe

468
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,239
is she she's got to come to
the festival and then she has all the

469
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,800
commitments, so it all depends on
work schedules. Really, I'd love to

470
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,880
take them to the hotel, but
I just don't know how practical that's going

471
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,719
to be just yet without seeing their
their schedules. It's just I was thinking

472
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,239
that once I hear about if they
want to go, won't they It's it's

473
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,360
great, it's We took Darryl and
he was like, that is a really

474
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:15,239
weird place. We went for breakfast
next door. The day after we went

475
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:20,159
for breakfast in the sandwich shop next
door and he sat there and He's like

476
00:35:20,639 --> 00:35:27,639
that place is just weird. It's
a great look sitting sitting next to you

477
00:35:27,679 --> 00:35:31,079
at the meal actually is a really
nice He's a completely normal bloke, isn't

478
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:36,119
he. That's That's what I love
about all the speaker. I've always been

479
00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:39,119
completely normal. I found that just
a bit of speaker. You know,

480
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,199
the big names that they all seem
very down to earth. You know,

481
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,760
there's no sort of real egos with
any of them. Ultimately, they're you

482
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,239
know, they're interested in the things
that we have to say as well.

483
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,599
It's learning opportunity to them. And
Aaron and I we did some filming with

484
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,800
Daryl at my home to hotel,
and I think I said in there the

485
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,480
interview before we we did the investigation
is that I like to see how how

486
00:36:02,559 --> 00:36:07,719
things are done differently in America compared
to how we do them here. When

487
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,000
I go out investigating, I like
to use a lot of Victorian methods,

488
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,559
you know, the sort of the
old parlor tricks with twists they rather than

489
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:21,280
just using tech. I also like
to try new sensors, and I don't

490
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,519
know whether that's something they're particularly big
on in America. So I think it's

491
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:30,159
great to see how those two different
techniques work alongside each other. And words

492
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:36,360
they're using compared to the words that
we use. That Daryl was playing tag

493
00:36:37,079 --> 00:36:38,559
with a spirit, we don't call
it tag, we call it tig.

494
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:43,280
So it's just just little differences like
that. And do you know, just

495
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,480
changing the word make any difference,
you know to the experience you're having,

496
00:36:47,559 --> 00:36:52,039
you know, a spirit able to
understand what you're trying to say to them.

497
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,679
Do you have to translate for them
either, just pick up. Yeah,

498
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,719
that's the thing we don't know unless
we try. So I think that's

499
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,679
what's great about working with them,
with people different nationalities, if you get

500
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,280
to pick up on their styles and
so they like to hear what we have

501
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,800
to say, what we have to
teach, just as much as we want

502
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:15,840
to talk to them. So if
anybody hasn't been successful before and you're a

503
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:20,559
little bit hesitant about approaching somebody Macy
on TV and maybe sounding you know,

504
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,800
like a like an impostor or you
know, they have a little bit of

505
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,480
doubt and their own abilities, don't
because they appreciate everything that you've got to

506
00:37:27,559 --> 00:37:30,800
say, whether you agree, whether
they agree with you or not, they

507
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,519
will always listen just as we would
always listen to them and their methods and

508
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,039
that's just a mutual respect thing.
So it's no they I think they will

509
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:44,639
be fully on board with everything that
we're doing. Yeah, well removal.

510
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:51,840
We've got the next guest, run
Yakobti. Yes, so we actually have

511
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,360
run lord is Actually so there are
a couple the Lords as a separate person

512
00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:02,079
but okay Lords Gonzales. Yeah,
so we have the two of them coming

513
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:07,920
and they have been working on a
new piece of technology in which they're able

514
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:15,039
to isolate voices. So it's a
it's a prodigal staticom and they were actually

515
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:19,360
recommended by Darryl. He said,
do you know what I know some people

516
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,039
that you need to bring to the
festival next year. They are absolutely amazing.

517
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:27,440
They're blowing up America. They're getting
some of the most incredible evidence anyone

518
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,719
has ever heard. And he was
actually talking to me about when they actually

519
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:36,280
tended an event that he was running
at Fort Delaware and they asked if they

520
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,199
could come along and bring their tech
and they showed him how it worked and

521
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,599
some of the voices that were coming
through there blew Daryl away. So so

522
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:49,239
you know, so far away that
he's like everybody needs to know about this.

523
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,519
So he's been a it's been chapping
them and it's been a real campaigner,

524
00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:57,719
a staticom on what they're trying to
achieve. And they're everywhere. There

525
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,920
are all the para coms, they're
at convention, there are festivals all over

526
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,559
America, and they're going to be
huge. Ron actually sent me a piece

527
00:39:06,559 --> 00:39:10,679
of evidence over they managed to capture
and I've never ever heard anything that clear.

528
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,119
Ever. It was such a long
sentence, there was no static,

529
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,000
there was no interference, it was
just pure sentence, clear vocal tone,

530
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:23,599
and I've never ever heard anything like
that. But it's the technology that they've

531
00:39:23,679 --> 00:39:28,599
devised and they're using. And on
top of that, they are two of

532
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,960
the most beautiful humans as well,
and they're just so lovely to talk to,

533
00:39:31,599 --> 00:39:37,039
incredibly humble, really enthusiastic, and
they're so excited to be coming to

534
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:40,840
the festival as well. And I
cannot wait to actually see them using their

535
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,280
technology. I can't wait to see
that. I'm probably more excitated about that

536
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:51,119
than anything else because some of the
evidence they're recording from that is mind blowing.

537
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,599
So I'm really excited to meet with
them in person. Yeah, that's

538
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:57,159
so well. The last guy actually, he has actually responded to a few

539
00:39:57,199 --> 00:40:00,800
of the things that I've said,
you know, and look a law school.

540
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:07,840
I actually getting on the show.
Actually, I wonder if you I'm

541
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:10,440
sorry Wood, I'm sorry Wood,
and so they both would. They're just

542
00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:14,800
they're just such lovely people and I
think that they're going to fit in perfectly

543
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,519
great sense of humor. They love
the paranormal, they love the community around

544
00:40:19,559 --> 00:40:23,360
them as well and working with others. So I'm actually heading over to American

545
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:29,920
next year with Penny and absolutely desperately
want to meet up with them. I'd

546
00:40:30,039 --> 00:40:32,920
love to meet up with them while
I'm over there. To the States next

547
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,840
year as well. I know you're
going just after me, aren't you.

548
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:44,039
From backing you go absolutely, of
course you go to Memphis. I'm starting

549
00:40:44,119 --> 00:40:49,800
in Canada, Gettysburg, and then
Delaware. The members. That's great again

550
00:40:51,679 --> 00:40:57,079
anyway, it's brilliant. Well not
only Memphis, We're going on all the

551
00:40:57,079 --> 00:41:01,000
places as well. It just looks
like it suits you. It just suits

552
00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:06,920
you, both suits you. That's
why I find it funny, is that

553
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,239
the absolutely suits you. If I
was to choose somewhere for you both to

554
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:16,719
recital it would absolutely be membhis when
it's hot and sweaty. He passed out

555
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:22,440
A lost time for me. It
was so hot. Yeah, she keeps

556
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,679
on telling me to not I don't
drink enough water and stuff. You know,

557
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,159
we got to appoint We were actually
queuing up and with messages of people

558
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:32,800
and I really I really need I'll
tell I've got to go and sit down.

559
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:39,440
He passed out. Oh holiday,
Yeah, I thought I was dying.

560
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:46,119
But anyway, that's a that's another
story forever till that's for the podcast

561
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:55,800
experiences in America. Waits I come
back. That was my experience. We

562
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,480
move on down down the line.
We've got We've got then needam of ghost

563
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:06,239
trip investigations we do. Indeed,
I don't actually know what their surnames are

564
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:12,920
because it's just listening to but I
don't actually know, so moving swiftly on,

565
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,480
No, unfortunately I do so that
so Dan and Adam they have been

566
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,760
really big on TikTok O the last
few years. They've been doing solo stuff,

567
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,079
you know, they do sort of
family videos, and then they started

568
00:42:25,079 --> 00:42:30,239
doing some paranormal investigations and not only
are they doing locations in the UK,

569
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:32,840
but they've started heading over to the
States as well. They've got such a

570
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:38,920
great following and we were actually asked
by some of the community whether we could

571
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:44,760
actually bring them to the festival.
So they were requested quite heavily to be

572
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,440
guests at the festival for twenty twenty
four. So we reached out. We

573
00:42:47,519 --> 00:42:51,440
had a chat with them, realized
that they're both completely bonkers. They're going

574
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:58,880
to fit imperfectly. They're going to
fit in perfectly, yet and again they're

575
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,760
going to bring something completely different.
You know, they're relatively new to the

576
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,880
scene, you know, to the
paranormal field. So whilst they're they're absolute

577
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,039
experts on social media and they're getting
to all the right locations and they're enjoying

578
00:43:10,119 --> 00:43:14,679
what they do. It's also nice
to see people that have never been exposed

579
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,519
to the paranormal before, other than
maybe watching Most Haunted ten years ago.

580
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,239
They're now starting to get back into
that. It's no longer a social media

581
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:27,280
taboo. People are watching and they're
becoming believers, they're wanting to get involved,

582
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,679
and they're booking onto investigations themselves.
So they were heavily requested actually,

583
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,719
so that's why we reached out to
them. But it is nice to see

584
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,760
that what we love to do is
now being exposed to a completely different audience,

585
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:43,239
those who wouldn't necessarily look at it, or would would just sort of

586
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,800
skim through it, like, yeah, that's fake, that's fig that's fishing

587
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:51,039
wire. And people are now and
that's because they're engaging with their personalities because

588
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,480
there's somebody that they've seen on social
media from a personal aspect where they've seen

589
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,639
them playing pranks on their other halves, and they've seen them in their family

590
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,559
lives and it's well, actually,
this is what we also love to do.

591
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,480
So it's it's showing, it's showing
them in a different light, and

592
00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:08,679
it also shows the paranormal fielding it
in a very different way as well.

593
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:15,400
So they've been greater pulling people back
in because we all see the same faces,

594
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,000
don't we. You know, we
go to investigations and it's lovely to

595
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:22,320
see the same people over and over. But it's also great to see people

596
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:29,320
becoming interested in something something that not
many people spoke about. For years,

597
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,840
it was still a taboo. We
weren't really we were the weirdos, and

598
00:44:34,199 --> 00:44:38,559
now it seems to becoming so much
more mainstream, and whilst some might say

599
00:44:38,599 --> 00:44:43,360
that that's a bad thing, that
you know, the paranormal's becoming completely mainstream

600
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,440
and it's over publicized, but it's
waking it's waking people up to what's out

601
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:52,000
there. This isn't this isn't about
what you see on TV. This isn't

602
00:44:52,039 --> 00:44:54,880
about what Hollywood's got to show.
This isn't about playing with the weedy board

603
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,360
in your bedroom. I don't bring
up a whole new way of thinking about

604
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:04,239
our reality, our existence, what
happens once we pass over, And it's

605
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,559
nice that people are starting to become
interested in that again. And I think

606
00:45:07,599 --> 00:45:13,400
that their social media presence and the
attention that receiving from TikTok and YouTube and

607
00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:17,840
other social media platforms is really highlighting
that there is something out there. Let's

608
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,599
work together to figure out what that
is. So I think that that's a

609
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:27,199
great way of thinking about what they
were able to contribute to the paranormal field.

610
00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:30,559
But whilst they might not necessarily get
involved with other teams, and you

611
00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:35,440
know, they may not go after
other conventions or even whether they don't appear

612
00:45:35,519 --> 00:45:38,000
on TV, they're doing their own
thing and what they're doing is quite important

613
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:44,960
I think for us as investigators nationally
and internationally. Now they're heading over to

614
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,519
the States. So I think it's
credit to them that they're managing to change

615
00:45:50,599 --> 00:45:57,320
minds and bring more people on board. Yeah about no, And I'm not

616
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,960
really big into social media. Is
stick Facebook up some cryptic posts on Facebook

617
00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:05,320
and then I just wander away for
a couple of weeks and don't respond to

618
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:10,199
anything. I'm really bad with social
media. So when people were requesting saying,

619
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:15,559
you know, can we quickly see
Dan and Adam keep bringing ghost investigations

620
00:46:15,039 --> 00:46:17,880
and so I had to go away
and have to sit through and I'm like,

621
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,639
oh, actually, that's a really
good location they're going to there.

622
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,119
You know, they're not just turning
up at a local boos when investigating the

623
00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:27,360
book. You know, they're actually
going to places that have got some historical

624
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,840
value. So it's really great to
see that, you know that they're actually

625
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,280
looking at places and trying to put
a different spin on that and introducing some

626
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,719
of the general public to these locations
as well, and doing it a safe

627
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,559
way rather, you know, it's
not encouraging urbexing or trespassing or breaking entering.

628
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:47,400
You know, they're these they're encouraging
people to attend locations that you might

629
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,519
not be able to access on a
day to day basis, and letting people

630
00:46:52,679 --> 00:46:57,039
have that experience of investigating and looking
around somewhere historical. And these are people

631
00:46:57,079 --> 00:46:59,800
that would never have thought of doing
that in first place, or would never

632
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:01,400
envisage. That's what they're doing on
a Saturday and night, you know,

633
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:07,079
satnical, building shivery and waiting to
we knocked on walls and it's I think

634
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:10,079
that's what a lot of us do
on most weekends. So yeah, it's

635
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,199
something very different. So I think
that whilst views might be very different,

636
00:47:15,119 --> 00:47:20,440
I think that collectively, after meeting
everybody and getting to know them and their

637
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,079
personalities, I think that everyone's going
to get on really well. We've had

638
00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:27,360
a great mix of speakers next year. That sounds great. Are there any

639
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,639
tickets left? We only have a
few of the Angelic tickets left. So

640
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:37,559
all of the early birdy keets sold
out within forty eight hours the first I

641
00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:42,679
think by the first ones, I
think done potentially. But the thing is

642
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,599
we hadn't even announced any speakers.
If we'd sold out of them, all

643
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:49,119
is like, how did this happen? That we did release some more which

644
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,440
were that they are price slightly higher
because we wanted to give sort of returning

645
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:58,880
customers that opportunity to we want to
thank you basically for coming again and again

646
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,679
and again and join us and supporting
us and being our friends. So who

647
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,639
was that sort of our thank you
was the early bit of discount. But

648
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,440
we do have a few of the
Angelic tickets left and you can build your

649
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:15,159
own package. All of the ghost
Hunt tickets except one now has sold,

650
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:16,920
so if you are wanted to go
the Ghost Hunt, there is only one

651
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,440
ticket available, so you need to
grab that as quickly as possible. But

652
00:48:21,559 --> 00:48:23,079
you can go on and custom build
your own package. You can choose a

653
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:28,480
Saturday day, choose a Sunday day, can choose the investigation, you could

654
00:48:28,519 --> 00:48:31,639
choose going to see Sunday. The
only things you can't pick to in the

655
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,760
create your own package is the dinners
on Friday and Saturday they are VIP only,

656
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,000
and also the day trip on the
Friday. You cannot book those three

657
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:45,280
things they have for VIP ticket holders
only. See you can custom build.

658
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:49,760
So if you intend to go and
have a wild night on a Saturday and

659
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,360
think that you know what Sunday,
I'm probably going to sleep and then just

660
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,639
go home. So you don't have
to buy the ticket for the Sunday.

661
00:48:55,679 --> 00:49:00,000
You could just purchase a Saturday and
so there are lots of things you can

662
00:49:00,039 --> 00:49:02,880
pick and choose from. So you
can also buy a ticket for the party

663
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,599
on Saturday night. See you come
party with everybody. We have festival awards

664
00:49:07,639 --> 00:49:15,000
next year as well, so I
don't we've mentioned the GPM Awards, which

665
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:20,199
is through Paramaid and the fabulous Neil
Packer. We're doing something ever so slightly

666
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,960
different. So yes, we are
doing some festival awards. Yes, you

667
00:49:23,079 --> 00:49:29,320
are choosing your own nominations and it
is just the highest count that gets the

668
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:34,199
award. But they're slightly bonkers.
We're not taking ourselves too seriously with these

669
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,119
awards. We're not celebrating people we
might see. We're not celebrating I think

670
00:49:38,159 --> 00:49:45,440
it was the best carry. Yeah
they are. They are ridiculous categories.

671
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,119
But sometimes it's nice just to have
a little bit of a laugh at yourself,

672
00:49:49,639 --> 00:49:52,079
you know. I think it's so
so easy to take yourself seriously within

673
00:49:52,159 --> 00:49:57,079
the paranormal field because there are so
many people that feel they've got something to

674
00:49:57,199 --> 00:50:00,320
prove, or that you know,
they're trying to get somewhere, or they're

675
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,360
trying to achieve a goal, and
I think we get lost sometimes we are

676
00:50:04,599 --> 00:50:08,519
just people and we shouldn't we shouldn't
be competing against each other. It's this

677
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:13,320
is an opportunity for us to come
together and you know, as a collective

678
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,880
and all be strange and unusual together
and make friends. So what the festival

679
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:21,800
awards are is things like most stepper
chap you know, the best dressed lady,

680
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,880
the greatest karaoke singer, the worst
dancer, the most abused liver,

681
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:32,039
and we have the Ultimate. The
ultimate award is the most ridiculous host of

682
00:50:32,159 --> 00:50:37,280
twenty twenty three. So I have
been assured that Karen is pretty much nailed

683
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:42,840
on for this award. She keeps
trying to get people to vote for me,

684
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,719
but it's not no. But this
is how it's going so far.

685
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,079
But it is looking like it might
be a Karen win. You do still

686
00:50:51,159 --> 00:50:54,079
have time to change this. But
the winner of that award has to get

687
00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:59,440
on stage with the live band on
the Saturday evening and they have to sing

688
00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:04,119
with the live band. So I've
told Karen to start warming a couple of

689
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:12,440
vocal cards. So if anybody does
want it to vote, you can get

690
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,000
in touch with us on Facebook or
you can email Nicky. So Nicky is

691
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,800
in charge of the awards. Is
that she's being partial and she's not nominated

692
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:32,639
for anything, so it's nikkiated.
I have you. She's very straight laced

693
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,360
Nikki. So whatever comes through will
be the winner. She would nothing will

694
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,599
be figgled. She's like, no, that is that drives me nuts.

695
00:51:39,639 --> 00:51:45,519
Sometimes she's she's quite angle about things. So she's been nominated, you'd often

696
00:51:45,559 --> 00:51:50,960
tell us what category. We can
all vote for her if anybody does want

697
00:51:51,039 --> 00:51:53,320
to nominate. If anybody does want
to vote, just send it, just

698
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,039
sending names of who you think,
you know you'd like to see. When

699
00:51:57,079 --> 00:52:00,880
these awards, we have got some
very cheesy little plastic cups that were handing

700
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,639
out. You know, you're not
getting anything fancy or or you know,

701
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:07,000
made of gold or glass. Nothing's
engraved. It is probably just a pound

702
00:52:07,039 --> 00:52:09,639
shop cup. So you will just
be you'll just be pleased to be honored

703
00:52:09,679 --> 00:52:15,320
with the award. But that that's
what we're doing with our past to make

704
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,920
a long speech as well, I'm
not sure about that. We'll have a

705
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:22,119
time limit and pay for a band, I'll want the money's worth out of

706
00:52:22,199 --> 00:52:28,199
them. So it is just a
little bit of fun. Is our festival

707
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,880
awards. We're not taking ourselves too
seriously. You know. We can do

708
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,119
that during the day. You know, we can go and learn things during

709
00:52:34,159 --> 00:52:37,119
the day. We can go and
network during the day. Evening time is

710
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,599
a chance for to just bells,
let our head down a little bit and

711
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,880
just make friends. I've already got
the dinner suit ready, so I'm so

712
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:49,280
glad because you came to dinner.
Came to dinner. This game, you

713
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,639
wropped a par of jeans. We
all turned up in bowl gowns and tuxedos

714
00:52:54,079 --> 00:52:59,760
jeans. It was a fancy dress
competition. We turned up as paranormal investigators.

715
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,280
It was not a fancy dress.
I'm not having that though it was.

716
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:13,119
It was a gothic masquerine ball.
No I could I could see Jill

717
00:53:13,199 --> 00:53:16,119
wanted to strangle you. Yeah she
did. She didn't know. She's looking

718
00:53:16,159 --> 00:53:20,440
for a good dress. I've already
got more dinner suit, so we should

719
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,239
will all be part of the party. This time we were sneaking. We

720
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:29,480
were sneaking away quietly this time.
Yeah, it's not happening you're not allowed

721
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,280
to go to have a few dances
out of you. We'll start a mush

722
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:36,360
pit. You and I. I've
got a side. The food was very

723
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:42,039
good as well this year. The
meals were brilliant, there plenty of it

724
00:53:42,119 --> 00:53:44,639
as well as she was it was
it was very nice, ye. But

725
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,400
we also have some some other amazing
guests as well next year. So we

726
00:53:47,519 --> 00:53:52,679
had Dan Classes returning for twenty twenty
four. Unfortunately couldn't make it this year.

727
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,920
Is he just started a new job, so Dan is back. For

728
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,679
those who don't know, Dan is
the owner of the Infamous in course,

729
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:04,920
I forgot to mention him. Yeah. Yeah, so we've got Daniel Class's

730
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,320
returning, so he's coming back.
And then we also have a new face

731
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:13,559
for us at the festival is Kate
Cheryl. So Katie's joining us as well

732
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,320
and she's going to be there throughout
the course of the weekend as well.

733
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:22,960
Gets chat to her that canning because
I know he was disappointed he couldn't come

734
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:28,039
for twenty three. So yeah,
yeah it was. It was really upset

735
00:54:28,119 --> 00:54:30,119
last year and it was really lovely
that you know, he sent a video

736
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:36,239
through and apologize for not being there
and I actually took a video of verybody

737
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,159
applauding him, you knows, and
sent that over and he was quite emotional

738
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:45,159
when he saw the video with everybody's
response that that video that he's sent through.

739
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,760
So he's you know, he's sort
of part of our little festival family

740
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,679
as well. We'd be lost without
him, and so I'm really glad that

741
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,960
he's coming back. He's such a
lovely human. He's a great man.

742
00:54:58,079 --> 00:55:00,880
So so glad that he's coming back. It's not a great story to all

743
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:06,840
he does, and I'm just the
Fay brings a completely different dynamic because he

744
00:55:07,559 --> 00:55:12,559
owns a building that is so unbelievably
haunted. I love to hear what's happening

745
00:55:12,639 --> 00:55:15,239
there, you know, what's happening
on a daily basis, and who's going

746
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:20,079
in and who's finding what. And
he's always finding odd bits within the house

747
00:55:20,119 --> 00:55:22,360
as well, So I love listening
to the stuff that he says. And

748
00:55:22,559 --> 00:55:27,880
he's quite a dry, sarcastic British
sense of humor as well, so I

749
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,199
really think I love that. I
need to buy his book. So I'm

750
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:34,000
actually I missed out the last time, but I will get it this time.

751
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,320
I was terrible last year in the
twenty twenty three by any books at

752
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,840
all. This year, however,
twenty three he came back with the books

753
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:45,519
from Everybody, and whilst I was
on well, when I came back from

754
00:55:45,559 --> 00:55:49,280
the festival, I just sat and
read everything. I ordered my body waiting

755
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,360
Greggs and just sat and read books
for frilling fire week. And it's just

756
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:58,519
so great to be able to read
other people's accounts and see how sometimes actually

757
00:55:58,599 --> 00:56:01,519
how familiar or how sim they are
to some of your own experiences. So

758
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:06,239
that's and you wouldn't think it,
you know, just by looking at a

759
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,880
book cover, you wouldn't think had
to go about well by it just to

760
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,960
be polite. And actually you read
it, you can't put it down.

761
00:56:10,639 --> 00:56:17,320
And I in particularly I really loved
Daryl's book, So it was The Horror

762
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,760
of the House of Wills. That
was a great book, a really raw

763
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:27,039
and insightful, you know, telling
of what you'd experienced at the House of

764
00:56:27,119 --> 00:56:34,480
Wills. And got the book no
spoilers. Then I need to go through

765
00:56:34,559 --> 00:56:37,960
that properly because it is it does
look a really interesting book. It was

766
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,719
actually a really good read. I
was because you know, it's I'm not

767
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:45,440
great with biographies or autobiographies or anything
like that. But you know, you

768
00:56:45,559 --> 00:56:50,519
start reading something like, actually,
something very similar happened to me, or

769
00:56:50,639 --> 00:56:52,599
I can relate to that or and
would have maybe have done that in that

770
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:57,599
situation. And that's what's been great
about some of the books that I purchased

771
00:56:57,639 --> 00:57:02,280
from the festival this year were just
seeing you know, how vulnerable they are

772
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:06,840
as well. You know, they're
not just people that we see on TV.

773
00:57:07,039 --> 00:57:09,239
They aren't just you know, overproduced, heavily edited, you know,

774
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:14,840
whatever it is. They are normal
human beings that go out investigating and they

775
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,360
are you know, they have emotions, they take things home with them,

776
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,239
and it's quite nice to see something
so honest and raw. So yes,

777
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,320
some of the books have been great, So get it, read, read

778
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:28,599
it. I will. Yeah.
Is he on the poster yet, So

779
00:57:28,719 --> 00:57:31,159
we haven't released the post yet,
So the poster is. We have done

780
00:57:31,159 --> 00:57:36,360
the poster at the moment, it
just says copy all over it, so

781
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,679
it is the proof copy at the
moment. So we will be releasing that.

782
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,440
So we will probably do that over
the Christmas period and we won't be

783
00:57:43,519 --> 00:57:46,920
doing that on the twenty second of
December because it is Mad Friday and the

784
00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:51,880
chances are that our writing might be
a bit squiffy. So the whole festival

785
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,039
team is out on mad Friday,
but we will be releasing it just before

786
00:57:55,119 --> 00:58:00,639
Christmas so everybody can see the full
line up. Still have to do the

787
00:58:00,679 --> 00:58:04,679
official announcement of Penny as well,
say Penny's coming, and she won't mind

788
00:58:04,719 --> 00:58:07,320
be saying that. We have spoken
out already, so yeah, Penny will

789
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,920
be attending. Well, we've been
waiting what it is. We've just been

790
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:15,440
waiting for for other people's schedules.
We didn't really want to announce anybody and

791
00:58:15,719 --> 00:58:19,079
then to the same Unfortunately, I've
got a filming commitment that day, so

792
00:58:19,159 --> 00:58:22,360
it's fun to make sure that everything
everybody was setting, everybody was ready so

793
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,880
we could announce it. So we
were just waiting on one person and that's

794
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:30,239
it. We've got the full lineup. I do. I do have a

795
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,199
sneaky additional guest, but I'll work
tell you about that yet. You have

796
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,719
to follow the page anyway. Yeah, we should look forward to all that,

797
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:42,199
Rachel, And as I said,
I'm going to get Karen and she

798
00:58:42,199 --> 00:58:45,679
Eva and Nikki on separate shows,
so we'll be talking a little bit more

799
00:58:45,719 --> 00:58:47,559
about it. We'll probably go through
the whole thing again, talking about their

800
00:58:47,599 --> 00:58:52,440
guests and how they felt about the
last year's show and everything. But it's

801
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,519
been great talking to you again.
You know. We're looking forward to seeing

802
00:58:55,599 --> 00:59:00,320

not before, because I understand you might

805
00:59:07,239 --> 00:59:12,800
come and pick you up or whatever
from Yorkshire. Well I could do.

806
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:19,000
I could even do that. You
wouldn't want to go back. I know,

807
00:59:19,119 --> 00:59:22,119
I know what was like. But
I know you. You've not been

so, so I wish you better.
