Speaker 3: So if you didn't get one, I apologize. We apologize,
Speaker 3: but we are going to be putting in an order
Speaker 3: for another batch you will.
Speaker 4: And we're gonna tweak them slightly the time they'll be
Speaker 4: Stay Wicked mugs still, yeah, but they'll they'll be tweaked slightly,
Speaker 4: so it's slightly different exactly.
Speaker 3: And then we have a Badass of the Day.
Speaker 4: Okay, we do.
Speaker 3: We really do, like a Badass of the friggin.
Speaker 4: Week, pretty much like the Halloween Badass basis. Yeah. Tammy Johnson,
Speaker 4: she was alluding to this all week. She was we
Speaker 4: were kind of like, we didn't want to come out
Speaker 4: and say it, but we're pretty sure we knew what
Speaker 4: was happening, and we were right. Tammy went and got
Speaker 4: a tattoo from Wicked and Grim. She got mister Bones
Speaker 4: and says stay Wicked.
Speaker 3: Like, holy shit, dammy.
Speaker 4: That is fucking wicked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna post this actually on our Instagram or
Speaker 3: our socials too, because it's got to be seen. That's
Speaker 3: pretty awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So that is commitment. That is absolutely wicked and
Speaker 4: one hundred percent deserves Badass of the Day right there.
Speaker 4: I'm curious away, oh through it blown away, officially the
Speaker 4: first person ever with a wicked and grim tattoo. We
Speaker 4: don't even have one, and I'm I'm a tattoo post shit.
Speaker 3: Yay, whoa tammy.
Speaker 4: I beat us, She beat us to it, right, It's crazy,
Speaker 4: that's so cool. I am curious though. This brings us
Speaker 4: onto the topics of tattoos. I'm curious if anyone else
Speaker 4: has thought about getting wicked and grim tat If you have,
Speaker 4: let us know. But I am curious, what's your next tattoo.
Speaker 4: I'm just throwing that out there because I want to
Speaker 4: know mine. Well, just anyone out there listening shot a message.
Speaker 4: I want to know what you guys will.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking I actually need to get a fucking wicked
Speaker 3: and grim tattoo now. So I'm going to figure that out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we should do it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. I have an idea. Actually, we'll
Speaker 3: discuss this.
Speaker 4: Oh, we'll discuss Oh yeah, okay, to be determined.
Speaker 3: Okay, So today's episode, we are going around the world
Speaker 3: and we have picked some spooky, some haunted, some just
Speaker 3: outright fucked up bizarre places, and we're discussing them.
Speaker 4: Fucked up bizarre places, got it?
Speaker 3: So I kind of forgot to rearrange this. So that's okay.
Speaker 3: I'm starting with two United States and then to Canada,
Speaker 3: and then the rest are around the world. Well I'm
Speaker 3: west in Canada's around the world.
Speaker 4: That's also around the world.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, but I just couldn't narrow There was like
Speaker 3: a whole bunch. It was very hard to narrow them down.
Speaker 3: So this may be a tradition.
Speaker 4: Is that the right word, tradition? We might make it
Speaker 4: a tradition, yeah.
Speaker 3: Where we kind of go through this each Halloween week
Speaker 3: because it was really fun.
Speaker 4: So it might be end up that I'm the urban
Speaker 4: legend guy and you are the haunted place's guest.
Speaker 3: Possibly it's well or apparently we have to switch it
Speaker 3: up next year because you're not having any fun.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you're doing this. I might have fun
Speaker 4: with this, so that that might make it fair.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, So anyway, first one, Lizzie Borden House.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, oh yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: So the Lizzie Borden House is the location of the
Speaker 3: August fourth eighteen ninety two unsolved double murder of Lizzie's
Speaker 3: father and stepmother, Andrew and Abbey Borden. Okay, okay. The
Speaker 3: house is located on two hundred and thirty second Street
Speaker 3: in the city of Fall River, Massachusette.
Speaker 4: Sits Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: I know, I meant to say that with an accident.
Speaker 3: I just just butchered it anyway, Fall River. Okay. So
Speaker 3: the pair was found in the house and described as
Speaker 3: being hacked to death, with Andrew's daughter Lizzie considered a
Speaker 3: prime suspect, which is really fucked up. She was actually
Speaker 3: later acquitted and no one was ever charged in their deaths. Today,
Speaker 3: the house offers tours and operates as a bed and
Speaker 3: breakfast kind of like sometimes that's a little fucked up though.
Speaker 4: I was just googling it now because I'm like, I'm
Speaker 4: pretty sure it's a bed and.
Speaker 3: Bread yeah, like, and a few of these places are,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, like, I don't know, and like the
Speaker 3: main the most popular room I'm probably gonna we're talk
Speaker 3: about it in a secure is like the room.
Speaker 4: That where they got killed. Yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 3: Well okay, I am taught. Okay, let's just all the symparize. Okay, continue,
Speaker 3: So the female she was murdered in a room in
Speaker 3: a room like a bedroom.
Speaker 4: She was murdered in a.
Speaker 3: Room in a bedroom that you can sleep in. Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: so that's super popular. But then the dad was actually
Speaker 3: killed in a common area, So you can't really stay
Speaker 3: the night in there, but like you can hang out
Speaker 3: in that.
Speaker 4: Spot, gotcha.
Speaker 3: So I'm just like, I don't know, that's bizarre. That's
Speaker 3: bizarre to me, but I'd probably stay there.
Speaker 4: Sorry that like, so audio popped my head.
Speaker 3: On the website, it says, is the house really haunted?
Speaker 3: It's a question. The answer says yes. While some guests
Speaker 3: do not witness anything, many regularly claim to experience all
Speaker 3: manners strange things throughout the house. This includes strange odors, voices,
Speaker 3: objects moving on their feet, feeling touched at night and footsteps,
Speaker 3: also to be seeing full body aperations, apparitions, apparitions. Of course,
Speaker 3: they do not guarantee that ghosts will have any haunting
Speaker 3: experience or that guest, sorry, will have any haunting experiences.
Speaker 3: That you can't guarantee that, but it has happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, So would you stay at the Lizzie
Speaker 4: Boordon House. We've talked about this case before. We've I know,
Speaker 4: we'll not in the podcast. Just yeah, like day to day.
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm not opposed to sleeping somewhere that
Speaker 3: has ghosts, because I've actually done that before in Barkerville.
Speaker 3: But I am a little bit opposed of sleeping somewhere
Speaker 3: where someone's been like murdered.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know. There's a little bit of respect
Speaker 4: thing there. I totally get that.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if it's that necessary. That's just
Speaker 3: like creepy as fuck and like almost unnecessary. I guess.
Speaker 3: I don't know, not that I'm judging anyone that does,
Speaker 3: but I'm just like, I don't know, it's different than
Speaker 3: just being haunted versus like someone literally like was murdered here.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, there's there's a certain status symbol almost of
Speaker 4: the Lizzi boardon House because it's such a prolific case.
Speaker 4: It's one of those ones where I kind of want
Speaker 4: to go there and stay there. You would, eh, I would?
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you.
Speaker 4: Also, it's like, I don't know, it's like the Watcher
Speaker 4: House or the Amityville Horror House. It's like they're just
Speaker 4: there's something about these places because the case is so
Speaker 4: well known. Yeah, so it's like almost a stardom status
Speaker 4: to it.
Speaker 3: I would be fine staying there, but I don't know
Speaker 3: if I necessarily want to stay in the room that
Speaker 3: the stepmom.
Speaker 4: Was murdered in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would probably still stay there.
Speaker 4: I think my preference preference would be to not stay
Speaker 4: in a room that has had them murdered in. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but I probably wouldn't be opposed to it. I would
Speaker 4: also need to make sure that I pack a bunch
Speaker 4: of plastic wrap to wrap the bed with, because I
Speaker 4: would piss myself at that.
Speaker 3: I thought you're gonna say diapers or something.
Speaker 4: The same thing.
Speaker 3: Well, especially because one of the things here wasn't it
Speaker 3: Where did I say this?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: And or it was feeling touched at night, like no, no,
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 4: No, thank you? Hey, like I'm out. I mean, some
Speaker 4: people pay good money for that shit.
Speaker 3: I can't remember if it was one I actually picked,
Speaker 3: but another one was like the person like tucks you in.
Speaker 4: And I'm just like, oh, really.
Speaker 3: I'm out, Like I'm sorry, but like I'd rather just
Speaker 3: sleep on the streets.
Speaker 4: Wait, hold on, when you say someone tucks you in.
Speaker 4: Are you saying the ghosts Okay, the ghost tucks you in.
Speaker 3: I'd rather just go sleep outside. But maybe the ghost
Speaker 3: is out there too. Anyway, that is the first one
Speaker 3: that started us off.
Speaker 4: Here, Okay, gotcha in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: Yes, so now we're going to Stanley Hotel. So the
Speaker 3: Stanley Hotel is located in Colorado, a States Park. I
Speaker 3: believe it is. And it's stunning. It's like, it's absolute stunning.
Speaker 3: It has breathtaking views of the Rockies, but as a
Speaker 3: reputation for true ghost stories and was the inspiration behind
Speaker 3: Stephen King's classic horn novel The Shining.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually need to, like, actually don't even if
Speaker 3: I've read a Stephen King Noble do you haven't, I
Speaker 3: just don't read much as the problem, I'm like a
Speaker 3: ton of time, but I want to. I want to
Speaker 3: read this one.
Speaker 4: Actually, we've actually had we've had some Stephen King films
Speaker 4: that made not far from us. Yeah, actually have But
Speaker 4: DreamCatcher that Stephen King wasn't it?
Speaker 3: Isn't that in Prince George?
Speaker 4: Yeah that was filmed here. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was.
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure Stephen King. Okay, anyways, but there there
Speaker 4: are some filmed around here, and actually we had this location,
Speaker 4: this house requested as a case not too long ago.
Speaker 3: Even oh this Stanley Hotel here. Yeah, oh okay, Well
Speaker 3: this is just a tiny little little tidbit on it.
Speaker 3: So in nineteen eleven, a housekeeper lit a candle in
Speaker 3: a room that had a gas leak, which caused an explosion,
Speaker 3: explosion that destroyed a tenth of the hotel. That's freaking terrifying.
Speaker 4: The tenth is a significant amount, but I mean as
Speaker 4: far as explosions go, yeah, much worse. She lived, though,
Speaker 4: oh snap.
Speaker 3: But guests claim her spirit has oh this is where
Speaker 3: we are, has unmade their beds or done the sheets
Speaker 3: around them while they were sleeping. So that's like some
Speaker 3: creepy shits. But she lived, she lived, but then she's
Speaker 3: later just has I mean that happens sometimes. Yeah, you're
Speaker 3: like the Lady in the Red, like she didn't die there.
Speaker 4: Well, there's no proof that she does, right, there's no
Speaker 4: historical proof of the Lady in Red at all.
Speaker 3: I think sometimes our spirits and stuff couldn't go to
Speaker 3: places we'd like too, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, So you're attached to that certain place, whatever
Speaker 4: energy reasons or who knows what. So after death you
Speaker 4: go back. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So when I stay in a hotel room, I
Speaker 3: have to like untuck the sheets because it just drives
Speaker 3: me fucking bonkers, Like the sheet cannot be tucked in.
Speaker 4: At the foot of the bed. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So if I woke up and it was tucked in, chit,
Speaker 3: that's scary.
Speaker 4: So others here, Julie noted, next time we go to
Speaker 4: a hotel, I'm tucking you in in the middle of
Speaker 4: the night.
Speaker 3: I got you better not. And I'm want to have
Speaker 3: to check the fucking a mirror like I'm screwed. Okay,
Speaker 3: So others hear piano music without a player, or children's
Speaker 3: footsteps on the floor that was once used for childcare.
Speaker 3: In twenty seventeen, a man on a ghost tour supposedly
Speaker 3: captured two little girls on film, despite there being no
Speaker 3: young girls on the.
Speaker 4: Tour, and so were they holding hands saying come play
Speaker 4: with us The Shining not that I know of.
Speaker 3: No, Okay, So again, this place offers tours as well
Speaker 3: as the opportunity to do overnight stays. So in regards
Speaker 3: to the inspiration behind Stephen King's The Shining in nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy four, Stephen King and his wife spent a night
Speaker 3: at the Stanley Hotel. After checking in and after his
Speaker 3: wife went to bed, Stephen went about roaming the halls
Speaker 3: and went down to the hotel bar to enjoy a drink.
Speaker 3: When he returned to his room, his imagination was fired
Speaker 3: up by the hotel's remote location, it's Grand Sai, and
Speaker 3: the eerie vibes that it gave off. So when Stephen
Speaker 3: went to the bathroom and pulled back the curtain for
Speaker 3: the chub, he thought, what if somebody died here? And
Speaker 3: at that moment he knew he had a book. But
Speaker 3: the time he left the hotel he had the bones
Speaker 3: of The Shining set in his mind.
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, cool, The Shining is a classic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's kind of interesting that like creative people
Speaker 3: and writers and stuff can go somewhere and be like
Speaker 3: that inspired.
Speaker 4: No kidding, right, yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to Canada, Canada, a Canada, Canada.
Speaker 4: We're a boot to go up Northy.
Speaker 3: So this one is that I hope I'm pronouncing this right,
Speaker 3: the Tranquil Sanatorium, I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's yeah.
Speaker 3: So this is actually in KAMLOPSBC, which is six hours away.
Speaker 3: From us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is close.
Speaker 3: So this place was originally built in nineteen oh seven
Speaker 3: to treat tuberculosis, and later it served as a mental institution.
Speaker 3: In nineteen eighty three, it closed, however, functioned as a
Speaker 3: youth detention center until the nineteen nineties. Now, the Ruins
Speaker 3: report high paranormal activity, ranging from orbs to eerie disembodied moans,
Speaker 3: which is really fucking creepy.
Speaker 4: It's probably just people in odd pockets.
Speaker 3: Doing things, right. It could be an aumal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could be a raccoon or something out there
Speaker 4: just chawing on some stuff.
Speaker 3: So this place, though, is straight out of a nightmare.
Speaker 3: And it's kind of sad because we actually had the
Speaker 3: opportunity to hit this place up but missed it. Like
Speaker 3: I remember, we have friends that live in Camelons and
Speaker 3: we chatted to them at some point about potentially going
Speaker 3: there because it doesn't look so it was okay. Tranquil
Speaker 3: Farm fresh manages the site now and it doesn't look
Speaker 3: like they have opened up post pandemic, but pre pandemic
Speaker 3: you could tour the location and they even offer an
Speaker 3: escape room experience.
Speaker 4: That's right, I was trying to think because I remember
Speaker 4: it wasn't like a haunted house or something escape room
Speaker 4: that was it.
Speaker 3: So I think that we suck because that would have
Speaker 3: been amazing. But I also think I was terrified too,
Speaker 3: so I probably.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think we'd be able to manage to go
Speaker 4: there one day though too, that they'd be opening.
Speaker 3: Up again, okay hopefully, but right as of right now,
Speaker 3: it says like permanently closed.
Speaker 4: Well maybe we can be like, yo, we're wicked and
Speaker 4: Graham let us in.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was even wondering if you can just drive by,
Speaker 3: like I don't know, I should actually ask for friends there,
Speaker 3: so but that's crazy. I'm kind of sad about that.
Speaker 4: I want to go to that place one day because
Speaker 4: I have I've heard a lot about it. Anytime I
Speaker 4: research like Canada haunted places, it's always on the list.
Speaker 4: So we should make the effort to try and go there.
Speaker 3: Well, I think let's even try to just like drive
Speaker 3: by this summer or next summer, I.
Speaker 4: Guess, yeah, drive by ghost hunt. Yeah, just take like
Speaker 4: as many pictures as we can and see how many
Speaker 4: just disembodied figures.
Speaker 3: Are in the windows even in drive It might be
Speaker 3: enough for me. I don't necessarily need to go in.
Speaker 4: I want to go in. I want to go in
Speaker 4: so bad that way. Well, that's why I want to
Speaker 4: go in. And there's ghosts in there, and as soon
Speaker 4: as I go in that way, I can come running
Speaker 4: out screaming like Scooby Doo style.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was literally going to just say, you talk tough, dude,
Speaker 3: but if you saw a ghost, you would be gone,
Speaker 3: like you would push me the fuck out of the
Speaker 3: way and be gone.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I do not talk tough. I am curious.
Speaker 4: I want to go in. As soon as I'm confronted.
Speaker 4: Fuck that, I'm out, simple as that. Okay, Okay, my
Speaker 4: curiosity will get the better of me and then my
Speaker 4: nerves will take over and I will scream and run.
Speaker 4: It's not a very complicated situation, okay. Contradictory, yes, but
Speaker 4: not complicated.
Speaker 3: Okay. So the next one I had to include. As
Speaker 3: you know, Canadians are all about their hockey.
Speaker 4: Oh fuck yeah, Bud.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And apparently the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto
Speaker 3: is haunted. No shit, did you know this? No, I know,
Speaker 3: I did not know this. So prior to being the
Speaker 3: Hockey Hall of Fame, the building was a Bank of
Speaker 3: Montreal branch for many years, like we're talking one hundred years.
Speaker 4: Oh snap, that's a long time.
Speaker 3: And legend has it that a nineteen year old or
Speaker 3: So bank teller named Dorothy shot herself early in the
Speaker 3: morning of Wednesday, March eleventh, nineteen fifty three, in the bank.
Speaker 4: Oh so.
Speaker 3: She was transferred to the hospital but died some hours later.
Speaker 3: Many rumors have surfaced as to why, but the most
Speaker 3: common ones seems to be that she was having an
Speaker 3: affair with either another teller or the branch manager and
Speaker 3: that man was married.
Speaker 4: Okay, so little love triangle gone sour? I see all right.
Speaker 3: So Dorothy's ghost is now believed to occupy the building,
Speaker 3: with stranger currenches thought to be connected to her, such
Speaker 3: as a woman heard crying throughout the building, along with
Speaker 3: other eerie sounds such as moans and screams, lights flicking
Speaker 3: on and off, doors and windows opening and closing. Some
Speaker 3: have reported hearing footsteps when working alone at night, and
Speaker 3: a few have felt a phantom hand on their shoulder
Speaker 3: or leg. So despite the many reports, only one boy, though,
Speaker 3: is believed to have actually seen Dorothy's spirit.
Speaker 4: Oh he was.
Speaker 3: Visiting the Hall of Fame when he started screaming don't
Speaker 3: you see her? Don't you see her? And claimed a
Speaker 3: woman with long black hair was going in and out
Speaker 3: of the walls.
Speaker 4: Really yeap, holy fuck, that is terrifying, and no one
Speaker 4: else could see her.
Speaker 3: No, whoa, Yeah like that boy has to be haunted
Speaker 3: for life.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he's he's scarred. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be going through a shit ton of therapy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow, Okay, we're moving on again. Us. We're just
Speaker 3: going around and around here.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's it's like a little little trip. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: kind of fun, all just sitting here in our little
Speaker 4: tiny home.
Speaker 3: Actually, I do have like a travel bug. I would
Speaker 3: love to be traveling right now. So we're moving on
Speaker 3: to Slovakia. Now, this one came up on many of
Speaker 3: the lists I research, and it didn't necessarily say how
Speaker 3: the castle was haunted, but with what went on within
Speaker 3: the castle, you can only just assume.
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough, let's let's dish.
Speaker 3: And you're gonna be familiar with this one. Oh so
Speaker 3: this is the Castles Castle. I hope I'm saying that correctly. Okay,
Speaker 3: So the castle was used in the classic horror film
Speaker 3: No Nose frautu nos fratu. Yeah, and beyond the the
Speaker 3: big screen, the castle walls were once home to Countess
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Bathory. Shit yeah Bathory. There you go.
Speaker 4: Okay, I know who they all? Right? Gotcha?
Speaker 3: So so who? And she is perhaps the world's most
Speaker 3: prolific female serial killer.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: So in a fun fact, Ben covered the story of her.
Speaker 3: I think it was last Halloween Week, was it not.
Speaker 4: I think so, because she's the one who's like related
Speaker 4: in potentially who potentially inspired Bloody Mary, that urban legend
Speaker 4: I believe.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, the one that like they she will I'm
Speaker 3: going to talk about it here about bass and their
Speaker 3: blood of Yeah, yeah, okay, so because yeah, when I
Speaker 3: was looking at this, I was like, oh, we should
Speaker 3: do a podcast on her. And then I started like
Speaker 3: just researching a bit more and I was like, oh shit,
Speaker 3: Ben already did so. Elizabeth she's also known as the
Speaker 3: Blood Countess of Castas. I'm saying that funny. Sorry. She
Speaker 3: was accused of torturing and killing hundreds of girls and
Speaker 3: women between nineteen or fifteen ninety and sixteen ten, the
Speaker 3: reason being to bathe in their blood in order to
Speaker 3: stay young.
Speaker 4: Fountain of Bloody youth.
Speaker 3: That is just nasty, wasn't it.
Speaker 4: I could be incorrect to this. Wasn't she bathing in
Speaker 4: the blood of virgins?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, I don't know if they were all
Speaker 3: virgins from what I read. I just I once I
Speaker 3: found out that you did this, I was like, I'm
Speaker 3: gon put it in there. But the accusations against her
Speaker 3: were supported by testimony from more than three hundred individuals,
Speaker 3: some of who described physical evidence and the presence of mutilated, dead, dying,
Speaker 3: and imprisoned girls found at the time of Elizabeth rest.
Speaker 3: So I do think probably I think the ones she
Speaker 3: was actually bathing in were virgins or something because it
Speaker 3: was gonna make her more young.
Speaker 4: That I don't know that was her target. I don't
Speaker 4: know if it was all virgins she was getting, but
Speaker 4: that's what she was trying for, I know, yeah for sure.
Speaker 4: But yeah, she was brutal, Yeah, like holy fucking.
Speaker 3: Up, and yeah, a lot of people were murdered.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and there I do remember that there was
Speaker 4: no uh, there's no concrete evidence on who or where
Speaker 4: the story of Bloody Mary came from, but there is
Speaker 4: suspicion that it originated from Elizabeth's story. So she may
Speaker 4: actually be potentially Bloody Mare, the original Bloody Mary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is creepy. That one creeps me the fuck ouh.
Speaker 3: So we're moving on again. So yeah, we're moving on
Speaker 3: to the Catacombs of Paris. Ooh yeah. So this is
Speaker 3: a massive underground tomb in Pairs, France. In the late
Speaker 3: seventeen hundreds, major public health problems tied to the city's
Speaker 3: cemeteries led to a decision to transfer all human remains
Speaker 3: to an underground site right right, which gave birth to
Speaker 3: the Catacombs. Now, when I say massive, I'm talking about
Speaker 3: the remains of more than six million people.
Speaker 4: Fuck, that is so many whole that shit crazy. I
Speaker 4: didn't realize it was that many people.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: So the Catacombs are a giant maize and network of
Speaker 3: tunnels and chambers that dive deep beneath the city and
Speaker 3: surrounding areas. They branch out and reach out for over
Speaker 3: two hundred miles, with a small portion so less than
Speaker 3: about two miles are actually open to the public.
Speaker 4: Fuck.
Speaker 3: Okay, though there are reportedly secret entrances around Paris, and
Speaker 3: though illegal people explore the restricted areas of the tunnels often,
Speaker 3: which isn't surprising at all.
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, no kidding, I have seen because I believe
Speaker 4: there is some footage out there on YouTube of like
Speaker 4: people actually going into the catacombs and stuff and like exploring. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's I'll touch on it at the end. I'll let
Speaker 4: you go ahead, cause there's there's a story that I
Speaker 4: know from it that's that's kind of okay, creepy.
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to ask you I would go
Speaker 3: and I would go through these one hundred percent. Really yeah,
Speaker 3: I would actually love to go and see this.
Speaker 4: Because I don't know if I don't think they're mapped out,
Speaker 4: I think I mean, I think people go through and
Speaker 4: explore them, have like made their own maps, and it's
Speaker 4: like hard to get a hold of these. You need
Speaker 4: to know the right people to get a hold of them,
Speaker 4: because they're illegally exploring this.
Speaker 3: Stuff, right, Okay, Well, no, I just go through the
Speaker 3: part that you can, because the thought of freaking getting
Speaker 3: lost in there would be terrifying.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. I would definitely easily go
Speaker 4: through the little portion that you said that it's open
Speaker 4: to the public, Yeah for sure. Yeah, but that's the thing,
Speaker 4: like people actually get lost in the stuff. Oh, there's
Speaker 4: one thing where like a video camera or something was found.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm going to talk about that.
Speaker 4: Oh there we go.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I'll get there in just one sex. So
Speaker 3: inside the tunnels, our stone passions, ways that twist and turn,
Speaker 3: there are also areas with incredible displays formed from human remains,
Speaker 3: like it looks amazing, really displays such as entire walls
Speaker 3: made from skulls and bone from floor to ceiling and
Speaker 3: like in patterns kind of thing. Oh ye, Like it's
Speaker 3: wild being that so many remains are in one place.
Speaker 3: Of course, rumors of ghosts, hauntings, and urban legends come
Speaker 3: from the catacombs. So in the nineteen nineties the story
Speaker 3: actually surfaced and it was from Cataphills, people who explore
Speaker 3: the catacombs. So they were doing what they do, exploring,
Speaker 3: and they found a video camera laying on the ground
Speaker 3: of a hallway. They watched the video and on it
Speaker 3: found a man running through the catacombs that appeared to
Speaker 3: be in distress and he was clearly lost and alone.
Speaker 3: He eventually dropped the camera, leaving it where the people
Speaker 3: found it, but the man in the video was never found.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's the same case. I was talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's I've seen that footage. You can find that shit
Speaker 4: on YouTube. It's so chilling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's creepy.
Speaker 4: I mean there's a potential that he managed to find
Speaker 4: his way up. There's also a potential that his remains
Speaker 4: are just down there in these catacombs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like someone would have found them
Speaker 3: right at some point.
Speaker 4: Who knows, because these networks like they're like they're.
Speaker 3: Not massot and it it goes. It's a very long,
Speaker 3: like large surface area.
Speaker 4: So creepy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's terrifying to me. Also, like, maybe don't go
Speaker 3: down there alone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think in groups is probably your best bet.
Speaker 3: Even like just the two of us going it is scary,
Speaker 3: Like I feel like we want more than that.
Speaker 4: Just the two kinda get lost if we try to
Speaker 4: explore the catecom homes. You're ready to move on, I'm
Speaker 4: ready to move on. Sorry, I'm pretty sure everyone's ready
Speaker 4: for me to move on to.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to Egypt.
Speaker 4: Okay, but you just started staring at me all right.
Speaker 3: I was just like, we're going to Egypt, Okay, let's
Speaker 3: go to Egypt. So a place of treasure tombs and curses.
Speaker 3: The Valley of the Kings was you sometime around fifteen
Speaker 3: hundred BC, and it was a replacement for when the
Speaker 3: Egyptians no longer put their pharaohs in a pyramid as
Speaker 3: a final resting place.
Speaker 4: Gotcha, okay, okay.
Speaker 3: So, in total, the Valley of the Kings is home
Speaker 3: to sixty five tombs, most of which have fallen to
Speaker 3: tomb raiders over the centuries, which is pretty shitty.
Speaker 4: And not to be confused with lower croft. We're talking
Speaker 4: like grave robbers here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, gosh, thanks for the clarification, just saying. One, however,
Speaker 3: was untouched, and that's King Tutonkaumon. So his tomb was
Speaker 3: discovered in nineteen twenty two by Sir Howard Carr. The
Speaker 3: tone was rumored to be cursed, and said curse had
Speaker 3: many names, names such as the King's Curse, Curse of
Speaker 3: the Pharaoh, Mummy's Curse, and the list goes on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 3: So the rumor of a curse initially started when Sir
Speaker 3: Howard Carter entered the burial chamber of King Touton Common
Speaker 3: on February seventeenth, nineteen twenty three. What's the shortened version
Speaker 3: of that?
Speaker 4: I was just about to say, you're saying you're having
Speaker 4: fun saying toot and colin art.
Speaker 3: I think I am. But is it king tut?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: That okay?
Speaker 4: Or I mean, if you want, you say king tout.
Speaker 3: King toot.
Speaker 4: I kind of like king toot.
Speaker 3: So when strange occurrences began and strange deaths would befall
Speaker 3: many of the people involved with Sir Howard Carter. For example,
Speaker 3: only a couple of weeks after entering the tomb, one
Speaker 3: of Howard's financial backers was bitten by mosquito, right, terrifying,
Speaker 3: pretty common, Like god, how many mosquitoes do we get
Speaker 3: bitten by? So this bite, though, became infected and he
Speaker 3: died on April fifth, Right, I.
Speaker 4: Forgot about that. I did hear about that before. Could
Speaker 4: you imagine dying from a mosquito bite?
Speaker 3: I know, that's I feel like that's the least epic
Speaker 3: way to die, that is, Yeah, I mean, that's a
Speaker 3: story and a half. That's so shitty though, Like up here,
Speaker 3: if that was a thing that could happen, like how
Speaker 3: many people die in it?
Speaker 4: Oh, Canada would be wiped out each yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the curse isn't the only paranormal activity that
Speaker 3: has been reported in the Valley of the Kings, though,
Speaker 3: according to multiple witnesses, a chariot with jet black horses
Speaker 3: will ride across the desert sand at midnight. Oh shit,
Speaker 3: which is fucking terrifying.
Speaker 4: That sounds really cool. I want to like sit back
Speaker 4: with lawn chair.
Speaker 3: Oh you want to watch this? Fuck?
Speaker 4: Yah? Okay, as long as it doesn't start riding towards me,
Speaker 4: I'm cool.
Speaker 3: Okay. It is said to be driven by a short
Speaker 3: who appears to be an Egyptian pharaoh. Nothing has, of course,
Speaker 3: been proven, but many swear by the tail and the
Speaker 3: identity of this mysterious chariot and its drivers are unknown.
Speaker 4: Crazy, that's not that. So you're telling me you wouldn't
Speaker 4: go sit on a desert dune eating some popcorn at
Speaker 4: midnight looking off down some valley of the Kings with
Speaker 4: like dead pharaoh's resting place to see if there's a
Speaker 4: ghost chariot that rides among the valley. No, that doesn't
Speaker 4: sound interesting to you.
Speaker 3: I mean it sounds interesting, but I also feel like
Speaker 3: I just rather not. I think that's terrifying.
Speaker 4: Yeah. See, for me, I'm far enough away where it's like,
Speaker 4: look at that way over there.
Speaker 3: And if it starts coming, then you just see Ben running.
Speaker 4: Across the Yeah. I will be running faster than that chariot.
Speaker 4: I can guarantee you.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Okay, okay. So we're moving to Serbia next,
Speaker 3: and I do apologize in events for my name pronunciation.
Speaker 3: These names you can look up how to pronounce them.
Speaker 4: So no Google translator or anything bing in it here.
Speaker 3: Okay. So the remote village of kissel Jevel to be exact,
Speaker 3: and this is home to less than eight hundred people.
Speaker 3: Oh small, It's like a small village, right. So in
Speaker 3: seventeen twenty five, a Serbian president or peasant sorry president,
Speaker 3: what is that?
Speaker 4: I don't know what is a president.
Speaker 3: It's like a peasant president. It's very odd.
Speaker 4: Okay, I am the president of this Serbian country here, okay.
Speaker 3: So it was a Serbian peasant named Peter would pass away,
Speaker 3: and following his death, over the next eight days, nine
Speaker 3: deaths would occur. Oh snap, with the nine dying saying
Speaker 3: on their deathbed that they had been throttled by Peter's corpse.
Speaker 4: Throttled by his corpse, yes, like he just a zombie.
Speaker 4: Beat the shit out of him.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. All right, Oh, I don't even
Speaker 3: know what that means.
Speaker 4: He's like you only five bucks, bitch.
Speaker 3: So priests and officials flocked to this village to investigate,
Speaker 3: right mm hm, and roughly forty days after his death,
Speaker 3: they exhumed his grave okay, and much to their dismay,
Speaker 3: found that his beard and nails still seemed to be growing.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I have heard of this.
Speaker 3: And there were signs of new skin growth. So they
Speaker 3: took a steak and like plunged it into his body,
Speaker 3: and it was reported that fresh blood splurted from is
Speaker 3: that a word splurted from his ears and mouth, a
Speaker 3: horrible scream arose, and his skin turned black.
Speaker 4: What the fuck?
Speaker 3: After that, the murders stopped, and some call him the
Speaker 3: first vampire.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that, I feel like, please, dear God, just
Speaker 3: let's just say that's that is creepy, Like shit didn't happen,
Speaker 3: because that's terrifying.
Speaker 4: That is terrifying. Yeah, wow, okay.
Speaker 3: Okay, So we're gonna move on.
Speaker 4: I really hope I don't dream about that one tonight.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: I know, that would be the worst thing.
Speaker 4: The other ones I could handle.
Speaker 3: That one's the fact that you literally exhume someone's body
Speaker 3: that many days after they pass and like you see that.
Speaker 3: But then the thing is, I'd be like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: like are they still alive? But then then you stab
Speaker 3: them basically, and then they're a freaking vampire. Like shit.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's scary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's it's scary. I don't I don't
Speaker 4: have any other words for it. That is, if true, fucked.
Speaker 3: Up, terrifying. Okay. So now we're gonna go to Australia.
Speaker 3: So and this this is the final place we're heading.
Speaker 3: And this is the Monte Cristo Homestead. You heard of that.
Speaker 4: I've heard of Monte Cristo, but I mean, I mean
Speaker 4: there's a Monte Cristo sandwich, So that could be where
Speaker 4: it's from. I have no clue.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the sandwich is from, babe. Okay.
Speaker 3: So this is said to be Australia's most haunted house.
Speaker 4: Oh okay. Interesting.
Speaker 3: So it's built on a hillside in New South Wales
Speaker 3: and in eighteen eighty four by farmer Christopher Crawley. So
Speaker 3: Christopher died on December fourth, nineteen twenty and after his
Speaker 3: death it was said his wife Elizabeth had like much
Speaker 3: trouble coping.
Speaker 4: Christopher Crawley. That sounds familiar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that name does, eh, but maybe just from this maybe,
Speaker 3: so his wife Elizabeth, she locked herself inside the house,
Speaker 3: spending most of her time up in the attic, where
Speaker 3: she had built a small chapel. She remained in the
Speaker 3: home twenty three years, only leaving the house twice before
Speaker 3: she herself passed away.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that's kind of sad. It's kind of sad
Speaker 3: that its death just distraught her that much, you know,
Speaker 3: no kidding. So, after some time in much vandalism, the
Speaker 3: homestead was eventually purchased and restored to its original state.
Speaker 3: They turned it into a museum for tours, including a
Speaker 3: doll museum, and they.
Speaker 4: Sold antiques a doll museum. Yeah, okay, so dolls haunted place.
Speaker 4: This is going to end? Well, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know, I didn't have I don't have anything else to
Speaker 3: say about the dolls, but I just thought that was interesting. Okay,
Speaker 3: But dolls are creepy as shit.
Speaker 4: So dolls are fucking creepy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So once they kind of moved in and settled in,
Speaker 3: it was immediately noticed the strange occurrences happening in the house.
Speaker 3: For one, their animals did not want to go into
Speaker 3: the house really, and that's I mean kids, animals. I
Speaker 3: think they're more susceptible, right, we know, they're more susceptible
Speaker 3: to like hauntings and air Normally they see.
Speaker 4: Women with black hair walking through Hockey Hall of Fame
Speaker 4: walls like poor child.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Okay, So lights appeared to be on
Speaker 3: in the evening as you would approach the house. So
Speaker 3: say you're driving up to this house, right, yes, it's
Speaker 3: someone's up, like the lights you're on. But when you
Speaker 3: open the front door, all the lights are actually off.
Speaker 3: What which is fucked? The homestead is actually haunted by
Speaker 3: at least ten ghosts. Ten yeah, so including I'm not
Speaker 3: going to cover all of them, but including Christopher Crawley
Speaker 3: and his wife Elizabeth. So Christopher's ghost haunts the room
Speaker 3: in which he died, but his spirit is reported as
Speaker 3: kind as ever, which is kind of nice, okay. Elizabeth,
Speaker 3: on the other other hand, she still rules the house
Speaker 3: and judges anyone who dares to enter her house. If
Speaker 3: she doesn't like you, she'll try to scare you out
Speaker 3: with ice cold air falling on your skin, so like
Speaker 3: you get like this feeling just chill, like like a
Speaker 3: shiver of.
Speaker 4: Why don't I just put on a hoodie?
Speaker 3: Is that what you would do?
Speaker 4: That's probably what I did, but like there's a draft
Speaker 4: and then I put on a hoodie. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So anyway, that's all I want to say about that
Speaker 3: spooky place. But I would I would probably actually visit
Speaker 3: that one. It looks pretty cool.
Speaker 4: That one sounds pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, I would love to go to Australia to
Speaker 3: be honest.
Speaker 4: To be fair, though, I don't think she sounds like
Speaker 4: a biach. I think she's just like, yo, get out
Speaker 4: of my house. Yeah, I like, I haven't left the
Speaker 4: house for how many decades? I just like chilling in
Speaker 4: my own space and you're in my zone off. And
Speaker 4: then she doesn't even like deter you in any mean way.
Speaker 4: She's like, here, I'm gonna make you a little bit cold,
Speaker 4: so you'll leave, and you'll leave and grab your speat uncomfortable. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you'll You'll make you slightly uncomfortable, so you'll maybe leave
Speaker 4: me alone.
Speaker 3: I know, like not like going through this now. Not
Speaker 3: all ghosts are bad, Like I do think that there's
Speaker 3: kind spirits and so of spirits out there that even
Speaker 3: just like looking out for you, right, Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 3: there definitely are some scary ones too, which is a
Speaker 3: little bit alarming and terrifying.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's some weird shit out there, whether the
Speaker 4: spirits or not. Like even like a curse on its
Speaker 4: own might not be a spirit, but it could be
Speaker 4: like like the curse of Toot in common. Who knows
Speaker 4: what that specifically is. Maybe a fucking spell laid on
Speaker 4: his tomb, But yeah, that in itself is just eerie
Speaker 4: and just as key.
Speaker 3: He starts walking down the stairs our.
Speaker 4: Black Cat, Black Shadow.
Speaker 3: So anyway, that was our trip around the world.
Speaker 4: Wow, that was cool, thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of interesting. There are a ton more
Speaker 3: that I wanted to cover, but I was like, we're
Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna keep it down and then you know what,
Speaker 3: maybe we'll we'll cover those ones next year.
Speaker 4: So well, there's there's a lot of creepy, scary, paranormal, strange, weird,
Speaker 4: abnormal places all around the world, So I don't think
Speaker 4: you'd ever run out of topics.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there's so many that literally I want to
Speaker 3: be like an Elizabeth that just stays in my house.
