Speaker 1: I have got some ghost stories for you.
Speaker 2: I'm hearing these voices, but there's nobody else around. I
Speaker 2: don't like the skeleton man. He's so mean to me,
Speaker 2: and he bites me at night.
Speaker 3: And suddenly this stool, completely of its own volition, slid
Speaker 3: good to maybe three feet out into the center of
Speaker 3: the bar.
Speaker 2: He walks towards the ocean and he gets through the water.
Speaker 4: He just disappeared.
Speaker 5: I feel someone run their hand under my butt cheek,
Speaker 5: just sliding under my butt.
Speaker 2: So that is my ghost story.
Speaker 6: Hi, and welcome to hanted AF, the podcast a real
Speaker 6: ghost stories, still by real people. We are your hosts.
Speaker 2: I'm Julie Fisk and I'm Rebecca Black, and welcome to.
Speaker 6: A very special episode of Haunted AF. It's our second
Speaker 6: Haunted AF Video Edition or haf V, which yes, is
Speaker 6: totally a knockoff of the America's Funniest Home Videos thing
Speaker 6: if you were wondering.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 6: So before we get started, I have to share this
Speaker 6: message from Robert Powell about the last episode. He said
Speaker 6: that the Appalachian Woods reel is actually a possum screeching.
Speaker 6: He says they're very territorial and that's the sound that
Speaker 6: they make.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 2: All Right, I cannot believe that that noise came out
Speaker 2: of such a tiny little creature.
Speaker 6: I feel like I've had a possum scream at me
Speaker 6: before too, and it did not sound like a woman
Speaker 6: like being set on fire, honestly.
Speaker 2: All right, So this first post comes from Bruce Wagner,
Speaker 2: and if we're being honest, he sent us about sixty
Speaker 2: percent of the reels that we're about to view today.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's about five of you who have been continually
Speaker 6: sending stuff, including Bruce, Michelle, Ricky muffin Man, and Brittany,
Speaker 6: So thank you, please keep it up, all right.
Speaker 2: So this first one, like we said, from Bruce, is
Speaker 2: actually just a photo of a church with a story
Speaker 2: from at News twelve BK, which is a news station
Speaker 2: out of Brooklyn. It's as human composting program. Natural organic
Speaker 2: reduction is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial and cremation,
Speaker 2: and in the Greenwood Cemetery is moving forward to become
Speaker 2: the first cemetery in New York State to offer it.
Speaker 2: All right, So we're going to post a link to
Speaker 2: the story in the show notes. But the cemetery has
Speaker 2: partnered with a German company to bring this to the US,
Speaker 2: and they're planning to start offering human composting in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty seven.
Speaker 6: Okay, I had to dig into this, no pun intended,
Speaker 6: and this is what I found out about human composting.
Speaker 6: It's officially known as natural organic reduction and it's an
Speaker 6: eco friendly funeral alternative that accelerates the natural decomposition process,
Speaker 6: turning a human body into nutrient rich soil over thirty
Speaker 6: to sixty days. So about two hundred and fifty pounds
Speaker 6: or one cubic yard of nutrient rich soil is produced
Speaker 6: per person and it only costs about five to seven
Speaker 6: thousand dollars, which I think is less sive. It is,
Speaker 6: but I think that's less than a traditional funeral because
Speaker 6: coffins and headstones are really expensive. Not to mention plot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right, this is cheaper. But this is
Speaker 2: where I'm like, oh my god, cremate me for the
Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars that it cost. Yeah, go find a
Speaker 2: cookie jar at Goodwill and put me in it and
Speaker 2: or throw me away. I don't really care, but.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because then what do you do with that soil? Like,
Speaker 6: what do you do?
Speaker 2: I guess you plant a tree in it or tomatoes.
Speaker 6: So you know what, This is already legal in over
Speaker 6: a dozen states, including Arizona, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington,
Speaker 6: and Virginia. Uh not Texas. But it makes me wonder
Speaker 6: is anybody else in the country already doing this because
Speaker 6: the story just said in New York State, this cemetery
Speaker 6: or whatever is going to be the first place to
Speaker 6: do it. So well, if you want to do some
Speaker 6: digging again god no pun intended, We're going to post
Speaker 6: a link to that in the show notes. So here's
Speaker 6: the next reel. I found this one and wanted to
Speaker 6: share it because I think this is happening to me.
Speaker 6: So it was posted by Ashley Inc On Instagram.
Speaker 7: If there's anyone out there that knows how the internet works,
Speaker 7: I have a question for you, because something really weird
Speaker 7: just happened.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 7: I was just in my car right my phone is
Speaker 7: plugged in, I'm listening to music, and I was thinking
Speaker 7: about this specific coffee drink. Stay with me, this specific
Speaker 7: coffee drink that I had over the summer, and it
Speaker 7: was like a banana mocha coffee drink. And I make
Speaker 7: all my coffee at home, but I was out when
Speaker 7: I had it, and I was thinking to myself, Okay,
Speaker 7: there's nobody else in the car, so I'm thinking to myself,
Speaker 7: I should get some banana syrup and make that drink
Speaker 7: at home. I don't say anything out loud. I had
Speaker 7: not recently purchased any type of coffee. I do all
Speaker 7: my grocery shopping in person, all my espresso shopping in
Speaker 7: person in case they are like tracking my purchases or whatever.
Speaker 7: Have never bought banana syrup before, right, It was just
Speaker 7: a fleeting thought of something that I should look for
Speaker 7: the next time. I'm buying some syrups for my little
Speaker 7: coffee bar. So anyway, I get home, do my stuff,
Speaker 7: open up my phone to go just like scroll on
Speaker 7: the internet. Why was the first ad that I got
Speaker 7: for moanin banana syrup.
Speaker 6: I feel like this is happening to me all the time,
Speaker 6: same to the point where I have to stop to think,
Speaker 6: did I have a conversation with somebody? Have I said
Speaker 6: this out loud? We all know our phones are listening
Speaker 6: to us, right, but how is it reading my mind?
Speaker 2: There has to be like some point where you did
Speaker 2: say it out loud, or you saw it or you
Speaker 2: looked it up or you googled it or something. There
Speaker 2: has to be It's too much of a coincidence, right,
Speaker 2: they can't read our minds.
Speaker 6: Well, some people in the comments on this reel say
Speaker 6: that there is existing technology this skins your body and
Speaker 6: reads your mind, right, I know. And look, I'm not
Speaker 6: saying that that's real. I'm just saying I don't know
Speaker 6: what is real anymore because the world is completely crazy.
Speaker 6: You're right, Yeah, but there are allegedly patents pending for
Speaker 6: this type of technology. Maybe it already exists.
Speaker 2: But isn't this just further proof that we are living
Speaker 2: in the matrix?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it just is.
Speaker 2: Everything comes back to that at this point, especially when
Speaker 2: stuff like this happens technology wise, I'm like, Okay, we're
Speaker 2: in the system. How do we get out?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 6: And girl, honestly, I watched one video, one conspiracy video
Speaker 6: that I shouldn't have Now my entire algorithm is nothing
Speaker 6: but conspiracy videos, and I've been watching and watching and watching,
Speaker 6: and again it's like, I don't know that I believe
Speaker 6: any of this. But I don't know that I don't
Speaker 6: believe any of it.
Speaker 2: I too have fallen down and become victim to the
Speaker 2: conspiracy theory rabbit hole. One of my favorite ones is
Speaker 2: that birds aren't real. So if you need something to
Speaker 2: do later on this afternoon, just go look at the
Speaker 2: birds aren't real scenarios. This next video was posted by
Speaker 2: the Creepy Shit podcast What.
Speaker 5: If I told You that in nineteen ninety four, human
Speaker 5: blood cells rained from the sky and the government couldn't
Speaker 5: explain it. On August seventh, nineteen ninety four, the small
Speaker 5: town of Oakville, Washington, woke up to something that defied explanation.
Speaker 5: Instead of rain, jelatinous that's right, gelatinis blobs fell from
Speaker 5: the sky, covering everything for miles. Dotty Hern touched one.
Speaker 5: Within hours, she couldn't breathe, her daughter got sick, her
Speaker 5: cat died. When scientists tested the blobs, they found white
Speaker 5: human blood cells and bacteria from the human digestive system
Speaker 5: in something that fell from the sky. This wasn't like
Speaker 5: a one time event either. It happened six times over
Speaker 5: three weeks. Then the samples mysteriously disappeared from labs before
Speaker 5: anyone could finish analyzing them. The military says it was
Speaker 5: jellyfish from bombing runs, but that doesn't explain the human cells.
Speaker 5: It doesn't explain the pattern, and it doesn't explain why
Speaker 5: it never happened again. Now, seven hundred people lived through
Speaker 5: something that shouldn't be possible, and thirty years later, we
Speaker 5: still don't have answers. So what do you really think
Speaker 5: fell on the little town of Oakville?
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the thing. I know that this apparently was
Speaker 2: an Unsolved Mysteries episode, and I thought that I had
Speaker 2: seen every episode of Unsolved Mysteries. I feel like I
Speaker 2: would have remembered this.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 6: It feels like something that would stay in your brain, right,
Speaker 6: like yeah, because it's essentially raining jello is what she said,
Speaker 6: gelatinous but with human qualities.
Speaker 2: Is there any creature that has very similar DNA to us?
Speaker 6: I don't know. And why would he be falling in
Speaker 6: gelatinous blobs from the sky.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty stumped by that. I do feel like that
Speaker 2: wasn't that long ago for us to have forgotten.
Speaker 6: So our next one came from Bruce, and this was
Speaker 6: actually there's no audio that goes with this one, So
Speaker 6: I'm just going to tell you the story, and again
Speaker 6: we will put the We'll put the links to all
Speaker 6: of these in our show notes at hauntedaf dot com
Speaker 6: or just go watch the YouTube video. So the one
Speaker 6: that Bruce said, it's about the legend of La Pasqualita,
Speaker 6: which is this famous hyper realistic bridal mannequin that's been
Speaker 6: displayed in chwa Ahoa, Mexico in a storefront window since
Speaker 6: nineteen thirty. All right, so she's known as the corpse
Speaker 6: Bride of Mexico, and the legend claims that she's this
Speaker 6: perfectly preserved corpse of the owner's daughter who died from
Speaker 6: a black widow spider bite on her wedding day. So
Speaker 6: the mannequin is noted for its uncanny lifelike details, including
Speaker 6: human like skin, hair, and visible vericos veins on her legs.
Speaker 6: So you can find information about this everywhere, and it's
Speaker 6: hard to imagine that this thing wouldn't have decomposed horribly
Speaker 6: over the years or smell really bad. It's also been
Speaker 6: pointed out you can again, I fell into this rabbit
Speaker 6: hole with this one that Pierre Emmon. He was an
Speaker 6: artist who made very realistic mannequins in the nineteen thirties,
Speaker 6: right around the same time that this mannequin showed up.
Speaker 6: And honestly, when you look at the head of La Pascualita,
Speaker 6: it looks like something that he would have made, except
Speaker 6: for these really realistic hands that she has, because they
Speaker 6: have like veins and fingerprints everything on these hands. So
Speaker 6: I even found some hands that this Pierre Immon made
Speaker 6: and they don't look like that. They look like puppet hands.
Speaker 6: So that makes me wonder, like, is it possible that
Speaker 6: he made the head and the torso and maybe the
Speaker 6: hands are really hers? What do you think?
Speaker 8: So?
Speaker 2: I have actually watched a documentary on this really good
Speaker 2: I say documentary, but it was like probably on the
Speaker 2: Travel channel, so it's like em but it really does
Speaker 2: sound like these parents were just like so grief stricken.
Speaker 2: They couldn't dare to like put their daughter in the grave,
Speaker 2: and so they just kept her as beautiful as possible
Speaker 2: and they took really good care of her.
Speaker 6: There's no way that you could have a body being
Speaker 6: exposed for that amount of time and she's not in
Speaker 6: any sort of case or anything. She's just out.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, but it makes me think about that.
Speaker 2: The story about the wild West guy that got shot
Speaker 2: and was in the coffin and then he was like
Speaker 2: on display at a museum, and nobody realized it was
Speaker 2: a real body until well after the fact, and somehow
Speaker 2: he managed to be preserved for that long. WI that's
Speaker 2: his special care.
Speaker 6: He didn't even look like a mannequin. I don't think
Speaker 6: he was just kind of like one of the fake
Speaker 6: props that they were using. I think inside it an
Speaker 6: amusement park ride. So anyhow, there you go, there's your
Speaker 6: rabbit hole. Go fall into that one for a little while.
Speaker 2: Okay. Our next one was posted by Jake Bruce Official
Speaker 2: on Instagram, and it's a serial killer restaurant.
Speaker 4: So I just pulled up to this haunted restaurant. It's
Speaker 4: called Last Meals. Look at this. They serve the last
Speaker 4: meals of all kinds of different serial killers from American history,
Speaker 4: like John Wayne Gacy's last meal, Ted Bundy's last meal.
Speaker 4: And then they have this one which is a single
Speaker 4: olives which is kind which is crazy.
Speaker 8: And they have drinks.
Speaker 4: Alex and I got Pogo's punch and he's making it
Speaker 4: right here, who also guys. On this menu, it says
Speaker 4: if you do not agree with the meal choices, you
Speaker 4: may use one of our Ouiji boards to complain to
Speaker 4: the dead. I just think that's so funny. While he's
Speaker 4: making the I'm gonna show the rest of this building,
Speaker 4: like look at this, we have pictures of famous serial
Speaker 4: killers all over the walls, and then look at this room, dude,
Speaker 4: They've got some really weird things like this mamma half
Speaker 4: a human face, skeletons on the wall, over here, Tibetan ritual, skull,
Speaker 4: Ouiji boards, there's a drawing by John Wayne Gacy. Just
Speaker 4: the vibes, and oh Jesus man, that actually scared me. Ash.
Speaker 4: This is Pogo's punch. It has Red Bull in it. Guys.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna staying awake for this livestream. Let's go.
Speaker 2: This place is super creepy, right, but he doesn't say
Speaker 2: why it's haunted.
Speaker 6: It wouldn't surprise me with all the crap that it's
Speaker 6: got though, from all the serial killers. It's like they
Speaker 6: want it to be haunted with all the crap that's
Speaker 6: in there. And it's weird because there's a restaurant on
Speaker 6: one side and then you go into another room and
Speaker 6: there's literally like skulls and gross stuff from John Wayne Gacy.
Speaker 6: It's like, I don't know that I want to eat
Speaker 6: next to that.
Speaker 2: So it's also inside the Ohio Museum of Horror. So
Speaker 2: I just think it's weird that you can go and
Speaker 2: eat people's last meal, like Ted Bundy's last meal is
Speaker 2: on there.
Speaker 6: I fell into a rabbit hole one time of looking
Speaker 6: at all all the last meals of people who were
Speaker 6: on death row in Huntsville. That's just some grim shit
Speaker 6: right there, you know, honestly.
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me just read you Ted Bundy's. Do
Speaker 2: you point out the item in here that says that
Speaker 2: he's a serial killer? Okay?
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 2: His is an eight out sirloin steak, eggs, hash browns,
Speaker 2: toast of butter and jelly, milk, coffee and juice. What
Speaker 2: makes him a serial killer? Out of that meal?
Speaker 6: Drinking milk with a steak?
Speaker 2: Boom nailed it exactly. Anybody who has milk with a steak,
Speaker 2: And I don't care if you do have a few
Speaker 2: breakfast foods on the side there. Once you hit like adulthood,
Speaker 2: milk is not your drink of choice.
Speaker 8: No, all right.
Speaker 2: This next story is actually pretty sad. It's not a
Speaker 2: young man who went missing near Dracula's castle. And this
Speaker 2: was posted by Cali Dog and that's dog with two
Speaker 2: G's on Instagram.
Speaker 1: An eighteen year old British student, George Smythe, has vanished
Speaker 1: after entering the area surrounding Romania's famed Dracula's Castle. George
Speaker 1: left the resort town and play on a brashov on
Speaker 1: the twenty third of November twenty twenty five, planning to
Speaker 1: hike alone toward brand Castle in the Buscegi Mountains that evening.
Speaker 1: Why he called Romania's emergency hotline asking for help. He
Speaker 1: said he was exhausted, freezing and had been forced to
Speaker 1: step inside the castle grounds to rest for a moment.
Speaker 1: It was the last time anyone heard from him.
Speaker 8: This is a real headline. This is not fake. A
Speaker 8: teenager actually tried to hike through the Romanian Mountains too
Speaker 8: Dracula's Castle by himself in the middle of winter. I'm
Speaker 8: starting to think that some people's free will needs to
Speaker 8: be revoked at this point, because why would anyone think
Speaker 8: that's a good idea. And guess what he's still missing.
Speaker 8: When emergency responders went to the location of the call,
Speaker 8: they found his belongings, but not him. That's creepy as shit.
Speaker 8: That's not helping with the whole vampire narrative. I really
Speaker 8: hope this kid isn't dead, But every day that passes
Speaker 8: and they don't find him, it just looks worse and worse.
Speaker 8: The case is still ongoing, though, so we just got
Speaker 8: to keep waiting. And I'm seeing way too much many
Speaker 8: people saying, ooh, vampires did this. He was taken by vampires, guys,
Speaker 8: it's Romania in the middle of winter. He was probably
Speaker 8: either attacked by wolves or bears or froze to death.
Speaker 8: But what if?
Speaker 2: What if, Julie, But what if?
Speaker 6: I know?
Speaker 2: So if way to sensationalize it, sir.
Speaker 6: Yeak, don't enjoy this too much. It's sad, I mean,
Speaker 6: and it is. One of the things that people were
Speaker 6: pointing out in the comments is that Dracula's castle is
Speaker 6: not still this abandoned castle on the hill. It's like
Speaker 6: a museum, so there are security guards, there are people everywhere,
Speaker 6: and you don't just like slip into the castle. Maybe
Speaker 6: you can. I've never been there. But it's really sad
Speaker 6: because this was posted on December twelfth, and the boy
Speaker 6: is still missing and his parents have even like stopped
Speaker 6: searching for him.
Speaker 2: They're like, it's so sad. Yeah, it really is. And
Speaker 2: I mean odds are this was probably just a hiking incident, and.
Speaker 6: They said it was in an area where there are
Speaker 6: lots of avalanches too.
Speaker 2: All Right, and we're gonna wrap this thing up with
Speaker 2: an awful one from the scare cast on Instagram, and
Speaker 2: this is about a haunted head of a ventriloquist dummy.
Speaker 3: A collector in Liverpool set up a camera on a
Speaker 3: ventriloquist doll from World War Two that they're noticing the
Speaker 3: glass cabinet door kept opening on its own at night.
Speaker 3: The footage she captured is pure nightmare fuel. In the
Speaker 3: middle of the night, the cabinet door slowly swings open
Speaker 3: and the doll, nicknamed the Mister Fritz, appears to blink
Speaker 3: and move its mouth as if it's trying to speak
Speaker 3: from inside the case.
Speaker 6: Okay, everybody needs to see this, so make sure you
Speaker 6: go to honddaf dot com and look for the link
Speaker 6: in the show notes, or just go watch it on YouTube.
Speaker 6: That's probably the easiest way to find all of these. Now,
Speaker 6: this video doesn't appear to be AI, but it doesn't
Speaker 6: really look real either. But the story is so creepy
Speaker 6: and it's been out there for a really long time.
Speaker 6: So this ventriloquist doll was allegedly made by an American
Speaker 6: in a pow camp during World War II, and the
Speaker 6: guy who owns it now just has its head on
Speaker 6: a post in a box, all right, But the guy
Speaker 6: who owns it is also a magician. He's like an entertainer,
Speaker 6: so I don't really buy it. But the video is
Speaker 6: so icky, watching that thing's eyes opening in the mouth,
Speaker 6: it's just gross.
Speaker 2: I don't like any part of this. First of all,
Speaker 2: I hate a ventriloquist. I hate a ventriloquist dummy. I
Speaker 2: think they're the creepiest things on the planet. So then
Speaker 2: now you want to chop its body off and put
Speaker 2: it on a stick, yeah, and let its eyes move?
Speaker 8: Like what what?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 6: And I got to point out something you just said,
Speaker 6: like we hate the dolls, we hate the via the dummies,
Speaker 6: but it's not about them. It's about the damn ventriloquist.
Speaker 6: They're the problems here.
Speaker 2: Like people love Jeff Dunham. I think he's the absolute
Speaker 2: worst on every level. And it's not like, great, you're
Speaker 2: funny or whatever. Your dolls are funny, but there's something
Speaker 2: not right with you.
Speaker 6: There is something creepy there. I've met him. He's a
Speaker 6: super nice guy. But yeah, that would be a red
Speaker 6: flag for sure if you started dating somebody who was
Speaker 6: a ventriloquist.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine bringing that guy out on the first date?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 6: Double hell no.
Speaker 2: All right, you guys. You know we're spending lots of
Speaker 2: time on social media these days. Let's turn it into
Speaker 2: a positive thing. Send us any good stuff you find
Speaker 2: you can tag us on TikTok. Just remember the rules. No, AI,
Speaker 2: please make sure it hasn't been debunked already in the comments.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely guilty of that. I know, I can't help it.
Speaker 2: He gets so excited and I'm like, oh, Julie, and
Speaker 2: then I go and read the comments and it's like fake, fake, AI, fake,
Speaker 2: Oh dang it.
Speaker 6: A couple of people sent a video of this one
Speaker 6: where a guy sees this face in his car and
Speaker 6: it keeps popping up and looking at him, and he
Speaker 6: goes outside and looks at it. But if you look
Speaker 6: very closely when he's checking out the car, you see
Speaker 6: somebody hunkered down in the backseat. And I literally had
Speaker 6: to watch it twice before I saw it, Like it's
Speaker 6: just ugh, all right, be very careful when you send
Speaker 6: that stuff, but please send it. All of it goes
Speaker 6: to hauntedaf Podcasts at gmail dot com so we can
Speaker 6: use it on the next haunted AF.
