1 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,560 Hi everyone. This is Christina and this is MJ. And this is another 2 00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:14,320 episode of a Spooky Tells, the podcast for All Things as Spooky. We 3 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,640 can't read, and we will laugh sometimes, and you will hear my children 4 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,480 in the background sometimes, yes, and you might hear the humming of my 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,480 ac in the background here here, it's pretty loud. Usually you can hear 6 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:29,559 sometimes in the episode. Okay, I apologize. It's hot. It's one 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,079 hundred and nine guy, you need it, so, yeah, normalize ac 8 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,679 sounds because we are dying the summer melting, melting. Am I the wicked 9 00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:44,079 Witch of the West. No, it's just hot. It's very hot. 10 00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:49,759 It's excessively hot. It's disgusting. Check on your fam in Mexico, by 11 00:00:49,759 --> 00:00:53,399 the and I don't know if it's yeah, it's just Mexico. But there's 12 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:57,119 a heat wave. It's terrible. Yeah, Like cars are like blowing up 13 00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:00,320 and stuff from the heat wave. And it was causing so many fires. 14 00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:04,159 My grandma had a heat stroke. It was terrible. Oh no, she's 15 00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:08,000 okay. Yeah, she's okay. But they're not used to this level of 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,560 heat. Yeah. Sent a message that she just didn't feel good and she 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,359 was so tired. Her body was aching. Everyone's like drink water, please, 18 00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:19,000 Yeah, like drink water. And then the one thing I'll tell you 19 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,719 if you have family in Mexico or any place that's that's not used to a 20 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,040 heat wave, because here we have a C like California except for the Bay 21 00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:33,319 Area, and that's screwed him over a few years ago. But where I 22 00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,280 live, I have you know, everything, every single building has AC. 23 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,560 But if you don't have a C, wet a towel, drape it over 24 00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:45,319 yourself. It'll keep your cool throughout the day. You could also wet a 25 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,239 blanket and put it over and you know, like ring it out so it'll 26 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:53,400 be damp, and then put it over your windows, close your blinds and 27 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,719 put this and put that. And you could also, I think, like 28 00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:00,239 wet it the outside of your house to keep it cool. Oh okay, 29 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,640 so do you know those are little things you could do if you don't have 30 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,360 ANYC. I also know that people do swamp coolers. Is that what it's 31 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,639 called? Yes, it is. I was about to mention those. Yeah, 32 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,520 it's it's sort of like putting. I don't know how they work. 33 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:21,159 Do they put something like wet over the fan or something? I think they 34 00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:24,280 put a fan like they put an ice chest or something and then the fan 35 00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:29,000 gets flown through ice. I'm not entirely sure because I don't know how that 36 00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:31,560 works, and I have me neither central AC. I've been very lucky to 37 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:37,039 have AC all my life and same my mom used to be very sindue with 38 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,120 it growing up and in Medesto, SA we would just go to the mall 39 00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:44,639 all day and come back at night to the house and then turn it off. 40 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:49,120 Yeah yeah, and also take naps during the day and do whatever you 41 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,199 need to do at night, like if you like make if you're exhaust, 42 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,840 but if you're you're off, sleep throughout the entire day and then like one 43 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:05,159 the sunset, you know, do whatever chores you have to do. It's 44 00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:08,560 the best thing, especially if you don't have AC. And stay safe. 45 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,120 You guys, heat strokes no like jokes, no, and if you had, 46 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,319 if you've had one, you're prone to more. Yeah. We went 47 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,439 to to school with the girl who I had PE and she had heat stroke 48 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,280 damn. Yeah. I mean I was a medic in the army and that 49 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,960 was like one of the things we saw the most, especially when we had 50 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,960 to be out all day don't know the symptoms. I don't even know the 51 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,560 symptoms honestly, but I think one of them is like you stopped sweating or 52 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,080 something. I'm not sure. Yes, stay safe out there. Yes, 53 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:44,000 we don't want you guys to get sick. Yes, And today we are 54 00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:50,159 talking about Ego, the Liberal Rojo, the Red Book Game. Have you 55 00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,639 heard of this before? No? I haven't. So when you were like, 56 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,280 you gave me some research that, y'a was like, what where have 57 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,719 I been? Yeah? I had not heard of it either. It reminds 58 00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:04,479 me. It reminded me of what about the Pencil game? Did you hear 59 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,919 about that one? Yes? Okay, yeah, yeah I heard about that 60 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,120 one. It started in Mexico to checks out. Yeah, I guess. 61 00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,240 Before we talk about the Red Book though, we do have a listener story. 62 00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:20,800 If you have a story that you want to send into the podcast, 63 00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:26,279 you can email at spookytos at gmail dot com. If you're a Patreon member, 64 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,279 then you can message it through there because it's an easy way for me 65 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,839 to see it. You can submit it on Discord. You can also just 66 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:38,120 DM it on socials. Any of that works. So this listener wanted to 67 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,959 stay anonymous. This is a continuation of the one with the well that they 68 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,399 saw something pop out of the well, like a couple episodes ago, the 69 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:53,000 episode we did with v where her family her dad grew up in Parian. 70 00:04:56,399 --> 00:05:01,079 So hard, but yeah, all right, let's do this. My dad 71 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,279 and his Siblians moved to the States, specifically California. My great grandfather owned 72 00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:12,000 the apartment complex that the entire family lived in. I lived there until kindergarten, 73 00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:15,240 and the rest of my family lived there until my great grandpa passed away 74 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,319 in two thousand and four. There was one apartment where my cousin lived and 75 00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:23,800 she would sleep walk. Often. She would walk down the street by herself, 76 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:28,680 buy something from the corner store, and go back to bed whole while 77 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,560 asleep. That's that's wild. Wow. When she moved out, another cousin 78 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,959 moved in there, and he also started to sleepwalk in the middle of the 79 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:43,079 night. It got to be so often that his mom had to put a 80 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,480 bell at the front door to be able to hear if he left the apartment 81 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,680 at night. Another cousin that lived in a different apartment would be attacked in 82 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,959 her room by the ghost of a little girl. Oh my god. She 83 00:05:55,639 --> 00:06:00,480 would come out from the attic cross space above her room. That's terrifying. 84 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,120 The entrance to the space was a small square in her closet ceiling. She 85 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,240 said the little girl would choke her in her sleep. My cousin would scream 86 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,399 and wake everyone up in the apartment. It happened multiple times. Each time 87 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,319 her parents would take her to my house to get away from the apartments for 88 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,439 the day. The very last time she was attacked by this little girl, 89 00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:27,519 my cousin ended up in the hospital after suffering from a panic attack. Those 90 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,720 are terrifying, especially when you don't know what they are the first time you 91 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,360 have one. Yes, m I thought I was going to die. Like 92 00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:39,360 I was having a heart attack. Yeah. I started shaking too when I 93 00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:43,759 have a panic attack, and like I get really cold. Yeah, like 94 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,199 my fingers go all numb and my face. I was like, what's happening 95 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,079 to me? Okay, back to the story. The strange thing is that 96 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,800 my cousin suddenly stops seeing the little girl after she was hospitalized. We did 97 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,560 some research in the area but could not find anything about a little girl. 98 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,240 The only deaths that were closely related to the area was a creek that was 99 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:13,079 directly behind the apartment complex that was very popular for suicide's okay, there is 100 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,879 a bridge that did not have very tall barriers and a lot of people died 101 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,519 by suicide by jumping into the dry creek. I remember seeing blood at the 102 00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:25,000 bottom of the creek several times as a kid when I would go visit the 103 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,519 family. I had been moved out of there for several years, and we 104 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,879 would always go to the apartments to visit my grandparents every Sunday. One day, 105 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,800 my cousins and I were sitting in the living room and the adults were 106 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,240 outside. Suddenly, the floor lamp that was in the living room lifted off 107 00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:46,360 from the ground about a foot high and fell over, as if someone had 108 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,759 picked it up and then threw it with force. We all rushed outside to 109 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,199 tell the adults what happened, and they all said it probably just fell and 110 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,240 played it off, but we literally saw it levitating for a good three seconds 111 00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:03,759 before it bell After my greatgrandpa died and my family sold the complex and moved 112 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,000 to a different town, none of us have been back ever since it was 113 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,319 sold. Two months ago, I drove past the complex for the first time 114 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,800 in about twenty years, and it was painted a very dark color. It 115 00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:16,439 gave me chills just looking at it. When I moved out of the complex 116 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,120 and into my current home, we didn't have any issues in that house until 117 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,600 we came back from a trip to Mexico and we brought back two handmade wooden 118 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,680 masks. One of them was plain wood and looked happy. The other was 119 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:35,159 terrifying. It was black with muted red and green details and had a frown 120 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,840 on its face. This one scared me. I remember I was in elementary 121 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,399 school and waiting at the kitchen table for my dad to take me to school. 122 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,960 It was quiet and I was by myself. Suddenly, out of nowhere, 123 00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,080 I heard something jump in front of the door that leads to the kitchen 124 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,720 from the hallway. It was quick, Oh what that message just cut off 125 00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:56,639 and there was nothing else. Okay, please send us the rest of that 126 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,360 when you get a chance. I would love to hear m. I wonder 127 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,360 what was going on in that apartment complex. Whatever was just it needed to 128 00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:13,080 stop, because yeah, it was just that. It was like I'm gonna 129 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,759 get you and you and you. Everyone gets a paranormal experience like Oprah, 130 00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:22,879 but like a ghost, and instead of getting lucky with like money or cars, 131 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,480 you get, you get a terrifying paranormal experience and a panic attack. 132 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,639 Yes, that will traumatize you. So no, thanks, I don't like 133 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,120 it, and I like how like every time it was always the adults were 134 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:41,559 like, your your childish imagination and then like, you're one thousand percent sure 135 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,960 that, like what you're experiencing is real? Yeah, and you know what 136 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,279 now you know? Before I would be like how why would they not believe 137 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,279 them? But now as an adult, if, like I have said many 138 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,919 times, if my child comes to me with something like that, I'm going 139 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,840 to be like, I don't hear anything. You're fine, both of us, 140 00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:07,240 you know. Yeah, we've referred to this comic so many times. 141 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,080 But the one where the kid goes and he's like, there's a monster at 142 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,200 the time at the window, and they're like, and you think I want 143 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,159 to be scared? Do you think I want to see that monster? And 144 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,759 he goes back to his room and the monster's like, I'm sorry, your 145 00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:26,960 parents are shit or jerks or something that would be me. So yeah, 146 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,080 I don't. I do not blame any parent in any story when they're like, 147 00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:33,679 no, you just imagined it, because I do the same thing, 148 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,360 I guess though honestly, if I heard it enough, I would I would 149 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,720 look to see what we could do to help, you know. But but 150 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:48,039 the first like ten times though, Mom's about to Mom's about to have a 151 00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:50,399 breakdown with you. Okay, yeah, yeah, I would be screaming. 152 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,799 It's like like you're supposed can you see a spider or like like a mouse 153 00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:00,000 passing by where it's not supposed to be. You're supposed to be the one 154 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,720 hold it together. I'm like screaming, and I'm scaring the kids because I'm 155 00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,960 screaming, and they probably would have been fine just looking at the spider, 156 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,720 and I'm like, oh my god. Ah and then like it happened. 157 00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:13,519 Still times, yeah, Kyle, my husband will come up running and he's 158 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,080 like, oh my god, what happened? And it's just because I saw 159 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:22,200 something. He's like, I thought something happened to you, something happened to 160 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,960 me. Yeah, He's like, I thought, what more serious happened? 161 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,159 I'm like, just what serious? So yeah, I get it, I 162 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,480 get it, but I'm gonna try and validate instead of denying and screaming. 163 00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:43,960 Yeah, I would scream and validate anyway. Yeah, today we're gonna be 164 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:50,159 talking about Rojo or the Red Book. But MJ, you have how the 165 00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,639 rules of this game for us, right, because I'm sure a lot of 166 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,200 us don't know. Yeah, I didn't know about it either, and I 167 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:07,679 got the thing from the link el Portal del dott and I translated it because 168 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,080 it was in Spanish. It is said that there are seven games prohibited by 169 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,120 the church. One of them happens to be the Red Book. It may 170 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,879 seem like a joke. There will be those who laugh at the subject, 171 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,399 but the truth is that this game is actually very dark, and if you 172 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,320 don't play it with all due respect, you could get into serious problems. 173 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,960 Many describe it as the game of the living and the dead. How dangerous 174 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,200 could a simple book be? A book that anyone can have at home? 175 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,559 But the dangerous thing is not the book, but the game itself. The 176 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,840 rules are simple, but first it is necessary to say that it is recommended 177 00:12:43,879 --> 00:12:48,159 to play uncompanied at least one or two more people, and if you're too 178 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,200 susceptible, you better not try. Rules of the Red Book game Rule one, 179 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,720 an old, red hardcover book is needed. The less information there is 180 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:03,759 on the cover, the better. Rule two. You need at least one 181 00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:07,279 candle of the same color as well. Rule three. Put the Red Book 182 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,440 on the table and only by candle light. No light should be on. 183 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,679 Rule four. One of the players must put his left hand on the closed 184 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,519 book. Then he must pronounce Red Book and then ask a question. It 185 00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:26,559 is important to have your eyes closed so that it works correctly. Rule five. 186 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,879 With his left hand and his eyes still closed, the player must run 187 00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:35,799 his fingers between the pages randomly until he stops at one of the pages. 188 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,840 Then he will leave his fingers somewhere on the sheet. On the page, 189 00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:45,759 open your eyes and read from where your finger is to the first point or 190 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,000 to the first you know, like end of the sentence, which is a 191 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,039 period that appears. That will be your answer. Sometimes the answers may not 192 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,039 make any sense, but that is because perhaps the question was poorly formulated, 193 00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:00,320 or because there is no spirit present in the book. If the answer is 194 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,120 coherent, it is because the game has begun. Rule six, last rule 195 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:07,720 and most important rule, Say goodbye to the spirit before you finish playing respectfully, 196 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,000 ask him to leave and read book warnings. Although it seems like a 197 00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:16,440 simple and innocent teen game, playing the Red Book is very similar to the 198 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:24,120 Luigi perhaps in both questions things in spirits, the advice of specialist in the 199 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,720 subject is to never play the Red Book, and if you do, be 200 00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,279 prudent when playing, because we must not forget that the Book is not what 201 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:37,080 answers your questions, but some entity that waits impatiently to be invoked. And 202 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,559 when an entity is invoked, a portal opens. That is why the last 203 00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:48,080 rule is so important. So those are the rules. That is, I've 204 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,919 never heard of this. It sounds very simple and to our listeners warning, 205 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:58,919 would you try it? No, me neither. Well maybe I don't know. 206 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,960 Not in my house, someone else's house. I'd try it, and 207 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,120 if someone else was leading it, I'd sit during the game. I just 208 00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:09,799 wouldn't be the person I just want to be. Yeah, I just want 209 00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:13,039 to be like a like an observer, you know, like you could like, 210 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,159 you know, have somebody playing it, but I'll be through the through 211 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,799 the watching through like a two way mirror. Yeah, just in case, 212 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,639 surrounded by salt through. Yeah. I'd be fine with being in the group, 213 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:35,000 but I wouldn't want to be leading the guiding the thing to find the 214 00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,399 answers. Yeah, same thing with like a waji board. I've never tried 215 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,080 it, but I would sit in when I just wouldn't want to be the 216 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,639 person holding it or I wouldn't want to. I would I would watch people 217 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:50,519 playing it in the same room, but I wouldn't be like right there asking 218 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720 questions at all or touching it. Yeah, no, not me. I'm 219 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,799 just an observer. Yeah, same, because you know what, I'm a 220 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:03,120 weenie, like I've said, Yeah, I belong in Winnie Junior with SpongeBob 221 00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:08,080 and Patrick. It's just like some like depending on the day I do believe 222 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,399 and you know I don't. So you know, depending on the day you 223 00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:15,440 asked me, my answer switches. But even on the days that I don't, 224 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,320 I'm not trying it, like you know what I mean, Yeah, 225 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:29,120 I risk it. Yeah, just in case.

So thank you for doing that. So 246 00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:11,960 my first story is from our favorite of spooky tales, Lauda and as if 247 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,400 you're a long time listener, you know we've talked about La Manoa many times, 248 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,079 not just the actual legend, but like the radio show. That's what 249 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,640 I'm talking about right now. It was hosted by Quadramon Science after someone else. 250 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,200 I forgot the other guy's name, Tuben Castillo. I don't remember. 251 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,640 I don't remember. That could be completely wrong, and I'm just made that 252 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,160 up, like out of my ass. Literally, it was someone else before 253 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,599 Juandramon Science for like a year. That's when it was La, and then 254 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,480 it became LA and he did it for a very long time, and now 255 00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:45,759 it's still going with different hosts. I think it's like a man and a 256 00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:48,519 woman. I haven't listened to any new episodes, though, I don't know 257 00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:51,559 what it sounds like now, Probably still good. I should check it out. 258 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:53,880 I didn't even know they had a new one. I'm pretty sure I've 259 00:18:53,880 --> 00:19:00,200 seen a new one, and did I imagine it happy my brain. It 260 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,559 cannot be trusted, but I think there's a new one. I think it 261 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,880 is still going. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. It's it's 262 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:12,160 it's like a well known company that's like doing it okay, so yes, 263 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,440 So unfortunately, was like all the replays of old episodes. Sometimes I just 264 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,759 don't know when the calls happened or who's calling. Sometimes they started and the 265 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,799 person doesn't even say their name. So this phone call, I don't know 266 00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:29,880 who's calling. It's the video that I found it on is four years old. 267 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,160 I don't know when the call took place though. But a man calls 268 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,880 Quandramne sins, and he tells him he lives near the forest near a creek 269 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:44,799 or lake in Talpa, and I think it's Talpa Halisco. It could be 270 00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:49,240 wrong if there's another Talpa that I just don't know where that is. So 271 00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:55,000 he says he has a friend that lives near this body of water, and 272 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,440 she tells has told him, like tells him repeatedly that she has heard like 273 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,279 Erona. And it's like a thing people say in her neighborhood where she lives, 274 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,559 that La Orona is heard there. And so he's like, nobody, 275 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,559 none of their friend group, like they didn't believe her. So they one 276 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,680 day they were like, let's all go and try and hear La Rona. 277 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,480 So they go, they go. They're just it's nighttime. They're hanging out 278 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,799 her house and they start drinking a little bit, not a lot, and 279 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:27,079 they decided to start playing a game called a Liberal Rojo and the Red Book, 280 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,920 And so they're sitting in a group. One of them is in front 281 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,920 of the book to guide the answers. The rest of them are holding hands 282 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,880 around the book and they're asking questions. And so the first questions that they're 283 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,839 asking, they're not really getting answers. They're incoherent. But as they go 284 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,599 on and play to play, or as they continue the game, some of 285 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,680 the answers make sense. Still, they're a little like off. Then suddenly 286 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:57,640 the lights went out and they all got scared. But then they decided it 287 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,160 was because of the rain, because they had been raining heavily, and you 288 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,400 know, the power just sometimes goes out. But then the friend that says, 289 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,559 oh, I hear La Yona all the time here, she was like, 290 00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:10,960 no, it's not because of the rain. This is always how it 291 00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:15,799 starts. The light goes off, and then we all hear Laurona. But 292 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,599 then the light came back on and they were like, whatever, she's full 293 00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:21,960 of shit. But then they didn't see her anywhere. They were like, 294 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,880 where'd she go? They thought she was playing a joke on them, So 295 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,160 they walk around the house looking for her. She's nowhere to be seen. 296 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,079 They check out the rooms like nothing, so they're like, what is happening? 297 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,359 They thought maybe she was playing a joke on them. One of the 298 00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:41,000 friends in the group said they should go outside to look for her, and 299 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:47,480 the rest of them were too scared. But then eventually they agree to go 300 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,440 outside and look for her. They stopped being wheenies, oh my god, 301 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,079 because they can't find her. So they go outside and this friend she happens 302 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,920 to be like the closest house to this blake, and so there's like a 303 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,920 big rock first, and then the lake, and this area by the big 304 00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:11,799 rock is where La Rona's usually heard. So they started walking toward that rock 305 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,240 and the lake. Because they're looking around, they don't see her anywhere. 306 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:17,759 They're like, maybe she went that way. I don't know why, but 307 00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:22,599 whatever, So they start going that way. They're all together. I imagine 308 00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:29,000 they're holding hands together. I would be yeah, So they're all they're all 309 00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:32,400 together, they don't want to split up, and they're walking towards that and 310 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,599 so maybe five minutes passed, and suddenly within those five minutes there was a 311 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,240 drastic temperature drop, not normal for the time of night either, like that. 312 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,400 The temperature should have been steady by the time they got out there, 313 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,559 you know, it shouldn't be that cold. Suddenly it was. It was 314 00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:53,000 too cold all of a sudden. They were even more scared. So then 315 00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:56,720 they all started yelling talking at the same time. I imagine they're all like, 316 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:02,519 no, Ma, myths a laberga, just screaming and scared. And 317 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,079 so once they're all done arguing about whether they should stay there being scared whatever, 318 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,799 and they're all quiet, they heard a scream in their distance, the 319 00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:14,119 scream of a woman, and they're like, fuck this, it's like urona. 320 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,319 They heard dogs barking right almost like with the scream. Dogs were barking, 321 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,039 And then there was like a movement in the water, like if someone 322 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,559 you know, the sound of like walking in water, like if someone was 323 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,839 getting out of a leak. I hate it, I hate im. I'm 324 00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:34,759 scaring myself. Anyway, so they started getting out, they started hearing that 325 00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:38,119 sound, and they were like fuck this. They ran back to the house 326 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,279 and as fast as they could, and they forgot they were looking for their 327 00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:48,000 food. As soon as they got yeah, right as soon as they got 328 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,480 back inside the house, the light came back on and they're like, okay, 329 00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:55,559 that's weird. And then they heard sound from one of the rooms, 330 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,960 so they're all scared in One of the friends in the group agreed to go 331 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,039 look in the room, and there she was sleeping. But it didn't make 332 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:08,240 any sense because before going outside, they searched the house. They searched every 333 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,519 room and she wasn't in there. Before they left, they tried to wake 334 00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,960 her up to be like what the fuck, Like you just scared the shit 335 00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:18,079 out of us, Like are you are you trying to pull a bass one 336 00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:21,160 on us? Are you trying to pull a prank? Like this isn't funny. 337 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:25,359 She wouldn't wake up. For whatever reason, she didn't wake up, 338 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,839 and then like morning time came and she's like, I swear that I wasn't 339 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,440 trying to prank you guys. I don't remember anything. I don't remember going 340 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,359 outside. All she remembers is laying down because she was very tired after the 341 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,119 blights went out. That's all she remembers. To this day. None of 342 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:47,200 them understand what the fuck happened. Whoever. The guy that was calling, 343 00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,680 he's like, I don't know if it was the game, the Red Book 344 00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:52,720 game. It was like yourna, I don't know why she disappeared and then 345 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,599 suddenly appeared in her room. What the hell those screams were? But they 346 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,960 never played the game again, and they never is it their friend again. 347 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,400 They're like, you have to come to us. Now, we're not going 348 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,920 to your house anymore. Yeah, And now I was like, that's terrifying. 349 00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:15,279 That is so scary. I know I was. I got a little 350 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:17,759 scared. I'm like, my dog lived a little bit, and I was 351 00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:22,359 like, oh my god, what was that? Okay, my second story 352 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,240 I found on Reddit. Suddenly I forgot to see what subreddit I got it 353 00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:30,519 from, and I didn't save the link. That's wrong with me. But 354 00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:36,720 it was submitted by a user lovely killer Bunny four years ago. This story 355 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,960 is a true event that happened. Then they put this in like all capital 356 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,480 letters do not play the game read Book. Okay, So we were all 357 00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:49,839 in eighth grade and we were all obsessed with abandoned places, traveling ghosts, 358 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,599 etc. That's natural, yes, And since we knew that we were all 359 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,599 departing to different high schools. We wanted to have one last fun time together 360 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,400 as a friend group while we still could. My friend group consisted of six 361 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,759 people, including myself. For the sake of their privacy, I will not 362 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,440 use their real names. My closest friend at the time was Mike. He 363 00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:15,200 lived in the house where all of this took place. He was very funny 364 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,359 and cool, but his parents were extremely religious, so I'm still surprised he 365 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,720 was down to let us play these games at his house. Then there was 366 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:26,319 Jenna, who I have known since elementary and she had a weird love connection 367 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:33,839 with Mike. Strange detail, but okay. Joey and Caroline were cool too. 368 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,799 Joey was best friends with Mike since they were kids. Caroline was very 369 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:41,440 loud and outgoing, and she claimed that she could feel spirits. I still 370 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,599 think it's a bunch of bullshit. Lastly, it was Alan and I. 371 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,240 He had this disturbing, obsessive crush on me. What the fuck? Okay, 372 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,799 So, of course during the whole sleepover, I was a little uncomfortable. 373 00:26:56,039 --> 00:27:00,000 Why is he in your friend groups? My question? Anyways, we 374 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,559 had been planning the sleepover for a couple of weeks and it finally started to 375 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:08,720 approach us. We planned to play childish games like Bloody Mary Baby Blue. 376 00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:12,759 Side note, what is baby Blue? I don't know. I've never heard 377 00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:15,720 of that one either, and maybe we're too old. I gotta look that 378 00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:18,960 one up. If any of our listeners know what that is, let us 379 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,519 know. During this whole sleepover and the planet of it, we all promised 380 00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:27,079 one thing, do not mess with the ghosts if we do encounter them. 381 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,519 The day finally came and we all showed up to school with our regular backpacks 382 00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:36,799 and a bag with Pj's toothbrushes and so on. The school there was exciting 383 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,000 thinking about all the fun stuff we were going to do after school. At 384 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:42,599 the end of the day, we walked to Mike's house. He lived pretty 385 00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:47,000 close to school. It was about a seven minute walk. All of my 386 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:49,279 friends were loud and funny, which was nice considering I was sort of quiet. 387 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,519 This made the walk pretty fun. We made it to Mike's place and 388 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,119 we set all our stuff down. Mike's family had a good amount of money, 389 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,920 so he had a really nice house. The weirdest details all right. 390 00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:04,400 We spent the first few hours messing around. They went swimming, for a 391 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,039 little I couldn't because I was on that time of the month. We walked 392 00:28:10,039 --> 00:28:14,000 to seven eleven to get slushies and candy. We went to a little playground 393 00:28:14,039 --> 00:28:17,720 in the middle of his neighborhood, took a couple pictures for the social media. 394 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,160 So far, the day was going completely as planned and it was one 395 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,880 of the best days of my life. We got back to us house and 396 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,960 suddenly it was pretty dark, so we played hide and Seek for a while. 397 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,599 It was around nine it was finally time to start playing the games. 398 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,440 We started off with the game Concentrate, which is a game where you close 399 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:41,119 your eyes and the person behind you states a ritual about several ways you could 400 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,359 die. What the hell, I've never heard of this? All right. 401 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,640 At the end, you're supposedly on an edge of a building in your mind, 402 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,960 and the person behind you pretends to push you. Whatever color flushes in 403 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,759 your mind while you're being pushed corresponds with how you die. Most of us 404 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,160 colors like blue, white, or green, which means drowning, passing away 405 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,519 and going to heaven, and falling off a building. Wow, okay, 406 00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:11,240 why would you do that. It wasn't until we got to Alan that we 407 00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:15,680 all started to get a little creeped out. It was his turn. We 408 00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:18,440 all sat on Mike's bed while Joey stood behind. Alan entered the ritual. 409 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:22,279 When Alan was pushed off the building in his mind, he was silent. 410 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:26,480 We asked what color he got and he said the color black. Oh. 411 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,519 I had to copy and paste all of the games and rules we were going 412 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:33,599 to play into my notes on my phone. I turned on my phone and 413 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,880 went straight to notes, scrolling to see what the color black means black. 414 00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:42,400 They will dive old age and go to hell. Oh wow, Okay, 415 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,720 Sorry Alan, No, sorry, Joey, Who was it Alan? Sorry? 416 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,359 Allen. Most of us aren't religious. So we brushed it off and 417 00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:56,920 tried it again, and he kept getting the color black. Clearly being disturbed 418 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,319 by this, Caroline suggested to play another game. We all agreed. We 419 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,480 moved on to a game called Red Book. You play Red Book by getting 420 00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:08,000 into a circle around the red book that you have. Everyone playing puts their 421 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,839 hand on the cover of the book when it's their turn, closing their eyes 422 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,000 and asking red Book, can I enter your game. You keep your eyes 423 00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:18,279 closed and flip through the book, randomly, stopping at any stop in the 424 00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:22,599 book that you want, and you point your finger anywhere on the page. 425 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,880 When you open your eyes and see where your finger landed, that is the 426 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,880 answer to your question. If you got a positive answer something related to accepting 427 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,759 you in the book, then you can start playing. If it says no 428 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,119 or something random, you move on to the next person and wait until it's 429 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,400 your turn to ask again. I decided not to play because I had a 430 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,279 gut feeling and I had to read the rules if anyone had questions. It 431 00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:48,839 took a while to get everyone into the game, but once everyone got accepted 432 00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:53,079 by the book, I remindered everyone that we will not disturb the ghosts if 433 00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:57,319 we do encounter them, to which they all agreed. Caroline also decided not 434 00:30:57,359 --> 00:31:02,640 to play because she was afraid, so she stayed on her phone while blasting 435 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,720 Lady Gaga in her earphone. The game started and it was boring. Every 436 00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:11,480 question we had ended with an unrelated answer, and we all started to give 437 00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:17,960 up hope until the answers started to become weirdly coincidental. How old are you? 438 00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:21,839 He was thirteen years young. We all looked at each other, Some 439 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,279 were freaked out, some were excited that we were finally getting somewhere. The 440 00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:29,519 game continued and the answers were very accurate. Is anyone else with you? 441 00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:33,440 They are frightening. I asked Jenna where she got to Spook, and she 442 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,279 says she just found it on a bookshelf in her house. It didn't even 443 00:31:36,319 --> 00:31:41,119 have a title. It was Alan's turn. How did you die? We 444 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,400 all started yelling at him to stop, since we agreed we wouldn't ask this 445 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,920 question, but he wouldn't stop. He kept flipping through the pages and he 446 00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:53,240 was silent. He wasn't moving other than his fingers flipping through the pages. 447 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:59,359 We kept yelling, but he still kept going, almost like he was paralyzed. 448 00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:02,039 What scared us was when he got to the end of the book. 449 00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:07,039 He started flipping backwards and he wouldn't stop. Finally, he dragged his fingers 450 00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:10,599 up and down the page, stopping towards the middle. We kept yelling at 451 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,599 him, asking why he would do that, but he still didn't say anything. 452 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:21,240 Joey grabbed a book to where his fingers stopped. It read we shouldn't 453 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,400 speak of this. We all looked up at Allan and he was shaking. 454 00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:29,240 Jenna asked him, asked him, what's wrong? But he just kept shaking. 455 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,400 Suddenly he started crying. He put his face in his hands, and 456 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,599 he fell into Mike's arms. Alan has had panic attacks before, so we 457 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,079 thought it was another panic attack. By the time Mike calmed him down, 458 00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:47,000 we asked what happened. Alan said he doesn't remember anything. He blacked out. 459 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,759 Everyone agreed we should end the game, but Alan said no. We 460 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,640 tried convincing him to leave the game, but he kept saying no. So 461 00:32:54,759 --> 00:33:00,519 they continued, which I thought was so fucking dumb, but it was majority 462 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,640 rule, and I knew that none of them were going to listen to me. 463 00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:07,000 The more they asked questions, the creepier it got. Where are you 464 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,759 The door handle was cold. We all looked up at the bedroom door. 465 00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:15,000 It was locked. Everyone was scared, so we all agreed to end the 466 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:20,240 game. But suddenly Alan talked, for the first time since his last turn, 467 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,359 I have one more question. We all looked at him like he was 468 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,119 crazy. We kept telling him no, but when I got back to him, 469 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:30,279 we were expecting him to ask the book if he could leave, what 470 00:33:30,319 --> 00:33:34,880 do you want with me? He closed his eyes and flipped through the pages. 471 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,359 He stopped at the end of the book on a blank page. He 472 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,480 started scratching at his legs and he threw the book. The room was dead, 473 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,000 silent. He looked like he couldn't breathe. His veins started popping out 474 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,119 of his neck and he started breathing hard. Alan, are you okay? 475 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,440 Joey was the first one to talk to him. For what seemed like hours, 476 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,440 Alan looked up at us finally, and he looked very mad. He 477 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,839 lunged at Joey and he just started scratching his bag while breathing heavily. Jenna 478 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,320 jumped onto the bed with Caroline and I I'm not gonna lie. I was 479 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,800 crying because of how much was going on. Mike yanked Alan off Joy and 480 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,599 he pulled him back against the wall. Joy was able to stand up and 481 00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:19,880 stand on the other side of the room. It took a while for Allan 482 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,079 to calm down, but when he did, Joey looked like he was attacked 483 00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:25,840 by a wild animal. There were scratches all over his back and sides, 484 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,320 some so deep that his blood stained the rim of his shorts. Mike calmed 485 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,880 Alan down again, and none of us spoke for about twenty minutes. We 486 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,039 just stared at the book and at Alan. Joey spoke first. Okay, 487 00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:43,000 everyone calmed down. Allan was probably just messing around, right Allan. By 488 00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,239 Alan didn't speak, we all knew that he would never do this. He 489 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,480 was one of the nicest people I had ever met, and he wouldn't even 490 00:34:49,559 --> 00:34:52,960 hurt a fly. We spent the rest of the night calming down and making 491 00:34:52,039 --> 00:34:55,119 jokes, trying to forget what just happened. But none of us could ever 492 00:34:55,159 --> 00:35:01,400 forget about this. Words can't even describe every detail how inhuman Alan looked. 493 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,400 Everyone agreed not to play any other games and just watch movies and go to 494 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,760 bed. Even then, no one fell asleep until three or four in the 495 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:14,320 morning. That morning, Mike's mom found out at her being the quirky, 496 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,639 hippie religious I feel like those don't go together, but okay, that she 497 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,800 is. She had this group hug and she suggested we burned the book. 498 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,880 I was a little hesitant because joe and Alan hadn't left the game yet. 499 00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:31,119 I was about to ask that, but everyone else agreed, so we went 500 00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:36,000 outside and gathered around the book. We don't tell anyone about this, okay, 501 00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:38,000 Mike said. We all agreed, but I told my dad anyway, 502 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,719 because I'm really close to him and I was already planted on telling them. 503 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,159 She said, bitch, you're not. I'm telling whoever I want. I'm 504 00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:50,639 pretty sure we all told our parents. We let Allan do the honors of 505 00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:53,320 burning the book. After that, we just went on with our day. 506 00:35:53,679 --> 00:36:00,000 We watched movies and eight Cereal. No one talked about it. Everyone got 507 00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:02,039 picked up one by one, and when I got picked up, we took 508 00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:06,239 Caroline home because she lived a block away from me. I told my dad 509 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,679 and he suggested that he could have been faking it. I agreed, and 510 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,800 we stopped talking about it. It's been almost two years now, and I 511 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,639 go to a completely different high school. They all go to the city's most 512 00:36:17,679 --> 00:36:22,960 well known high school. These aren't necessarily Oh now it makes sense that I 513 00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:29,039 was written by a high schooler. Yes, I talked to Mike maybe once 514 00:36:29,159 --> 00:36:32,320 or twice. I've talked to Jenna once. Other than that, I don't 515 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,800 talk to any of the others. We haven't brought up the experience at all. 516 00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:39,760 I still have videos of us messing around on Snapchat and you can see 517 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,840 the aftermath on Joey's back. Alan asked me if I wanted to go out 518 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,000 sometime after the sleepover, but I said fuck no, No, she didn't 519 00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:51,639 write that. I added that, but she said no. I have an 520 00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:54,960 amazing boyfriend now and I haven't had a paranormal experience since. I still wonder 521 00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:00,280 if Alan was actually joking, or if it was a prank gone wrong, 522 00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:04,239 or if we did contact spirits that night. All I have to say is, 523 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,360 don't play red book. A lot of the comments were like this fucker 524 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:13,920 gotta possessed. Also, I would have kicked his ass out. Yeah, 525 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,639 after scratching me up like that, I'd be like, get out of get 526 00:37:15,639 --> 00:37:20,079 out, get what is happening? Like, no, go be possessed by 527 00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:22,480 yourself somewhere else. I don't care how good of a friend you are. 528 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,159 I would have like going straight up like, I'm sorry, you're scratching me, 529 00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:29,719 you're about to get you're ship rocked, you're about to get got, 530 00:37:31,159 --> 00:37:37,679 you're about asleep, sir, seriously, to keep playing games with this with 531 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,119 this food after he scratched you up like that, No, I would have 532 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,599 left. If I was to scratch the guy. First of all, I 533 00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:46,199 would have gone to the doctor because I don't know if this fool washes his 534 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,000 hands. What if his nails are dirty and he was scratching you like that. 535 00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:57,519 It's infection waiting to happen. No thanks, even at even at that 536 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,679 age, whenever it say eighth grade, I've been like, no, I'm 537 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:07,440 out. I'm not staying here. Sammy agrees. If you could hear them 538 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,760 laughing. I have one more, but I feel like it's not as good 539 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:15,199 as the other one. This is from the three Kings subreddits. This next 540 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,880 one, but I accidentally didn't write the user name. There's always going to 541 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,199 be something messing with me. I'm sorry. So this person whoever the user 542 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,880 name was, my bad. I haven't saved. I'll put it in the 543 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,320 show notes. I'll put the links if I remember. I'm so sorry. 544 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,880 I'm the worst. I remember in show notes for this podcast. Phrase study 545 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,920 asn't known. I always put them. I don't know why. I don't 546 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,920 want to understand anyway. So my friends and I did the Red Book ritual 547 00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:49,159 game on Friday night. We used Eldest by Christopher Paoloni because it was the 548 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,920 thickest red hardcover book we could find in the library. Some of the answers 549 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:58,000 we got were pretty cryptic, but some were extremely straightforward. For example, 550 00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:00,360 one of my friends asked if he would ever be cheated on, and the 551 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,920 answer was a young man came a seduce her with words of love. The 552 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,960 book said yes. The weirdest thing about the experience was that it took an 553 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,119 hour before the spirit let everyone into the game. Oh my god, this 554 00:39:14,199 --> 00:39:16,679 sounds like the other story where they said it took a while to get let 555 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:22,039 into the game. Oh okay, that's strange. I don't like it that 556 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,480 these are similar. Wow. The weirdest thing about the experience was that it 557 00:39:27,519 --> 00:39:30,239 took an hour before the spirit let everyone into the game except for me. 558 00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:35,119 We ended it after ninety minutes and I hadn't been accepted into the game at 559 00:39:35,159 --> 00:39:39,440 all. It also seemed to have strong emotions toward one of my friends who 560 00:39:39,519 --> 00:39:44,920 got accepted around the sixteen minute mark. When he was asking to play the 561 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,760 game, all his responses were quite dark and violent, stuff about murder, 562 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,159 torture, and not get in a way with what you've done. Most of 563 00:39:52,199 --> 00:39:54,800 the applies to his questions were along those lines too, except for when he 564 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,679 asked about his girlfriend. The spirit gave a really positive answer, something about 565 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,000 their wings and flying. It went south for a bit. When he tried 566 00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:07,119 to leave the game, everyone managed to leave except for him and another friend. 567 00:40:07,559 --> 00:40:10,239 When the other friend asked if he could leave, the answer was something 568 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,519 along the lines of go away then, but if you leave, I will 569 00:40:14,559 --> 00:40:20,679 cauterize you. What the hell? Oh my god. They got repeatedly angry 570 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,960 and negative answers every time they tried to leave, until eventually the spirit let 571 00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:29,760 them go. The friend who had been getting consistently dark responses from the spirit 572 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,760 got a poem when he asked to leave for the last time, and it 573 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,480 went, gone gone, you shall be from me, and I will never 574 00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:39,039 see you again. Gone gone, You shall be from me, though I 575 00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:45,119 wait for you evermore. What the hell? Kind of creepy, But that's 576 00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:47,360 what we were looking for, So all in all, it was a good 577 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,119 experience. Of course, I'm bummed that I wasn't accepted into the game at 578 00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:55,960 all, but it was fun to hear everyone else's answers regardless. On a 579 00:40:57,079 --> 00:41:00,239 lighter note, one of my friends got accepted into the game and the first 580 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,280 round and was the one asking questions for a stallard. Twenty to thirty minutes, 581 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,320 he ran out of questions and started asking whatever popped into his head like, 582 00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:13,960 well, I ever be comfortable wearing long pants parentheses he hates wearing jeans. 583 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,400 The answer from the book was something along the lines of stop pestering me. 584 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,880 So I told my friend to ask a more serious question. His next 585 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:29,239 question was equally as ridiculous, and the answer from the book was a blank 586 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,880 spot. Every time he asked a non serious question, he would get a 587 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:38,280 blank spot the end. I don't like how similar the last his stories were. 588 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,159 Yeah, I don't like it at all. How they all said it 589 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,119 took a while to get into the game, and I wonder, I guess 590 00:41:45,159 --> 00:41:47,480 maybe the other the second story, maybe they just didn't try to leave the 591 00:41:47,559 --> 00:41:53,119 game and they just burned the book. Yeah, I don't under like it's 592 00:41:53,159 --> 00:41:59,880 too bad, like the op is not in contact with the people she did 593 00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:01,480 it with to see it like follow up, like, hey, did anymore 594 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:10,400 happen? It is alan still Yeah, yeah, but that I don't know. 595 00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:15,159 All these stories were creepy and there I thought the last one wasn't going 596 00:42:15,199 --> 00:42:19,039 to be like I thought it was going to be pretty lame. But no, 597 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,800 it was not too bad. It was not that bad. But yeah, 598 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,159 I don't I don't like the similarities between those two. Yeah. Same. 599 00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:30,679 Yeah, I don't think I would even sit and watch someone play this 600 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:39,039 game. I changed my mind. But but yeah, I guess that's all 601 00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:44,920 we have for this episode before we go. Do you have any spooky recommendations? 602 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,480 No, I have again, not watching anything aside from reading the book 603 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:55,320 for Oh. Yes, I will probably finish it in the next like three 604 00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:00,400 days. Yeah, I'm done. I finished ning and editing work, so 605 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,920 I haven't listened to it. Yeah. I finished it last night. It 606 00:43:04,039 --> 00:43:07,920 was so good. I am really liking it so far. Obviously we're going 607 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,679 to talk about it in the book Club episode, so I will save my 608 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:14,920 comments. All they're other than I hate Matthew. Oh my god. I 609 00:43:15,079 --> 00:43:19,320 never wanted to jump in a book and like and beat your living shit out 610 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,039 of someone. Yes, okay, that's a lie. There's a few books, 611 00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:25,840 but specifically this one. Oh yeah, I know too many Matthews. 612 00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:32,679 I've dated a Matthew. Oh, I'm so sorry. It was traumatizing. 613 00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:40,360 Oh, I'm sure, I'm so traumatized. I'm trying to think if I 614 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:46,639 have any spooky recommendations. But I also haven't been watching anything because again, 615 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:51,440 I've been drowning in editing work. Oh you know what, No, I 616 00:43:51,519 --> 00:43:57,840 did listen to an episode of It's Haunted What Now today while I was doing 617 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,719 some stuff that don't require me to listen to, like whatever video I was 618 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,360 editing, so I was able to hear something while doing that other than because 619 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,440 if I don't do that, I will start yawning, like if I'm doing 620 00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:14,199 something repetitive, my ass look at sleepy like and ye a minute, like 621 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,039 it's bad. So I have to have like something else happening at the same 622 00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:22,119 time. So I put on that podcast and yeah, it's it's good. 623 00:44:22,199 --> 00:44:24,559 It's hosted by Laney. She's a friend of the pod. People sending their 624 00:44:24,599 --> 00:44:29,559 stories to her and she narrates them and she has a beautiful voice, very 625 00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:31,679 soothing. And you know what, if you want a serious, scary podcast 626 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:37,599 with one person, no interruptions, just straight through a story, listen to 627 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:45,320 her podcast and don't leave us a one star review. I haven't talked about 628 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,719 it, but we got another one that was like they can't read and they 629 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,400 go on side what side something, side quest side. No, they wouldn't 630 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,920 use side questions because that's our thing. Yeah, side conversations. I don't 631 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,119 side tracks. They put can't read and get sidetracked, and I'm like, 632 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,519 that's literally our thing, and then I and then I'm like, we born 633 00:45:06,639 --> 00:45:09,760 you guys. Every episode was like we can't read and they don't understand English. 634 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:15,119 We're both fun. I mean, I don't know how many times we 635 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,039 said it. And so I think it's a little unfair to live a one 636 00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:21,480 star review with something you were warned about. It's like, I don't know, 637 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,559 being mad because you went to the lake and got wet, Like, 638 00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:28,559 come on, you were warned. It's like going to the beach and being 639 00:45:28,639 --> 00:45:32,840 mad that you got stand in your shoes. So yeah, and it's okayal 640 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,239 like that one better, but yeah, it doesn't make any sense. So 641 00:45:37,519 --> 00:45:43,199 again, we cannot read, we don't know English or Spanish, like come 642 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,760 on, yeah, like we're neurospicy. You know we're gonna be on tangents 643 00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:52,920 and side quests because that's the way our brain works. And honestly, like, 644 00:45:52,119 --> 00:45:55,199 you don't know how No, I don't think I can stress enough how 645 00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:00,599 much editing happens to make the stories more coherent, because sometimes I will be 646 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,719 reading and skip a word and have to go back because I messed up the 647 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,920 sentence or replace again because because I have a DHDA same same with like both 648 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,159 of us do it, and you know what, we try to make it 649 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,360 as coherent as possible, but we're not perfect. And I don't think we 650 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,760 have monotone voices because they also said we have monotone voices. Yeah, I 651 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,840 don't think so, because I you know, like they tell us we're either 652 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:28,880 too bubbly or and now we're getting we're not bubbling, like what do you 653 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,760 want from me? Yeah? What do you want from me? Now we 654 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:35,280 get comments like oh they laugh too much, they're too happy, and then 655 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,239 we're like, oh, you guys, and now we're too monotone, like 656 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:42,880 come on, what is it?
