Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome to episode thirty four of a wickedly
Weird with It Jerry and Amanda. I'm Jerry and I'm
Boston Nice. I thought if but actually use no real name?
Speaker 2: No, I was, I had. I just quickly on the spot,
thought of a name, and I was like, Boston, where
are you from? You're from Boston. Just say Boston, Boston
Nice said it. That's my inner voice, That's what it
sounds like. Okay, all right.
Speaker 1: So I've actually gotten a few people that I used
to work with to listen to the show.
Speaker 2: Oh geez, they got to meet me. Head it air.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's not a treat. I don't know what is.
Speaker 2: Oh, meeting me is a treat.
Speaker 1: It is so man, you you said you had a
story that so we can start off people.
Speaker 2: Oh, my Plymouth very I want the Plymouth because I
love it down there. If I could live, like on
the water looking overlooking the ocean, I would. It's great.
It's I love it down there. It's a little sea, said,
and you have a little fun. I found some candy apples. However,
so it's it's touristy, like, it's very touristy. You've got
the Plymouth Rock. It's not even real, guys, sorry to disappoint.
Speaker 1: It's a little bitty, isn't it.
Speaker 2: No, it's stupid. It's just the rock that says like
sixteen nineteen over the fuck date they landed, but whatever,
it says it and then like people pion it and
spit on it because humans are gross. But anyways, I mean,
it's not like they have cameras there now, so they
probably don't do that. But well, people crash and they
do shit like that, so whatever, And they have ghost tours.
I have two stories. When we start off with the
ghost tour story, you have you ever seen Big Daddy?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay, do you remember the homeless bum?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, let me just that's the scene. The sun is
starting to go down, just do we bits. We're like
hitting dusk and there's a guy there who I thought
might have been a homeless I couldn't really tell, but
of course, like I made eye contact with him and
I go hi, and he goes hi, and I go, oh,
when's your next? Assuming? When's your next? Like gig He's
like I don't know, And I'm like, all right, do
you even work here? Because you're sitting next to two lamps,
like or you know, and he goes, no, I kind
of work here. You kind of work here, all right.
I'm like, well, how much is it? He said twenty
five bucks? I said sold. That's what I did. I
went sold. And for those of you can't see me,
I'm throwing my hands up and being sold. So all right.
So I go to like take out my phone and
he's like, oh no, it's cash. Nobody takes cash.
Speaker 1: So this is for the ghost tour, right or supposed.
Speaker 2: I was like fucking useless. I'm like, you know, sold, whatever, cash,
we only take cash. I'm like, oh, sorry, next time, buddy,
and he goes, I'm here all night, and I go, actually, no,
you're only here till like nine because the only show
you do, so I'll see you when I see you.
I was so annoyed with just like like the the
fucks he could have been. He just didn't care like
I would have been, like, you know what, the show's
already on the road. Here are two Lanton's just go.
But that's why I don't manage people, and that's why
I'm not the boss of things, because I would have
zero dollars because I would be like, oh, nothing, has
no cash. Here you go, you go have a good time,
like whatever. So he was not full of information, and
I was a little pissed. And that seemed to be
the only tour in the area, which I thought was
odd because I could have sworn years ago they had
more than one. But yeah, so I ended up doing
that and I do plan on doing it again. But like,
I couldn't tell if he was fucking with me or not.
I mean, he was selling it a little bit, but
he didn't know much about the tour and we.
Speaker 1: Were so did you actually do it goos tour or not?
Speaker 2: Oh? Hell no, I wasn't getting this strange man twenty
five bucks and know who he was. He looked like
the guy from Big Daddy. I was quite upset about it.
I was like, use what I was pissed. I was
just like, well, we're here to have a good time,
so whatever. So then I'm like, oh, let's get out
of the spot, because like when you're right on the waterfront,
it's very busy. There's drunk people, it's loud, there's people
on motorcycles. Like it's just chaotic, and when you got
the anxieties like me, it kind of you need to
take a second. So we go down the side street
and there's this cat and he's laying on the sidewalk
like he's a mosaic painting. And I'm like, oh, it's
a kiitty. And my friend's like, oh, look at it
and does the thing and she goes to pettit, and
she like gets to it, and then like, I go
to go over to it, but I'm fucking loud, Like
I like, am just loud in general. I'm playing with
like the poppet on the back of my phone, right,
So I go like this, and he goes up the tree.
He runs up the tree, and my friend goes not damn, Amanda,
but as the cat runs, I go like, I hit
at it, and she's like, what the fuck. I'm like,
I don't know. That was just rude. So then we
start taking photos of flowers. And at this point it
is now become a very like apparent to me that
there is someone across the street who has just watched
all of this take place. We were trying, we were
talking to the cat. We were like being oh, katy, katy,
like talking to it. I hissed at it. We laugh.
We were taking pictures of someone else's photos and my
friend's like, oh, your hands in the photos shooting. I'm like, well,
I'm gonna do gang signs like being a fucking idiot.
And the whole time this kid's laughing at us and
then like I'm like oh no, and I kind of
turn and I'm like did you see that whole thing?
And he goes yes, and I'm like, oh god. And
so my friend goes, we just love pet and st cats,
and I was like what, I'm like, don't say that.
He goes, and he goes He's carrying his little like
ipa bear and he's climbing up the hill and he goes,
we're all strake stray cats if you ask me. And
I went, wow, you should put that on a poster.
And then my friend like, yeah, yeah, you should, you should,
you should, and I was like, what the fuck is happening.
And the whole way up he was giving us all
kinds of little like I don't know, like he was
like a walking I don't know what you'd even call
those things, like a walking quote. He just kept saying
shit about yeah, And I was like, you know, you
go into a party, like he could have invited us
to the party. At least it was a strange person.
We don't know, but we made tons of strange friends.
At night, we went on the beach and we met
a crane. I have never seen one of those in
real life until recently. So I think I don't know
what part of this speech was. I think we were
kind of on someone's prime at beach land, but I'm
not sure. There were no signs posted, but I don't know.
It just felt a little weird. So we were down
there because they were the only ones there, and I
was like, all right, whatever. So we were like gloshing
through the sand because the tide was going out in
this thing spreads its wings so large and proceeds to
take off flying but in like our direction. I have
never fucking ran so fast in my life. It was
like ten o'clock at night, like it was pitch black,
couldn't see anything really, the lights weren't that great from
like the haba, so like I don't know what was happening.
And then like I picked up a clam at one point,
and then someone shines there like high beams on us
because we were like in this open area. I'm like,
oh God, we gotta go, and I think we had
to have entertained like three or four carloads of people.
We were out there for a while.
Speaker 1: So if I get this straight, in this time period
that you were at Plymouth, yeah, you almost got scammed
by a somewhat homeless guy about a ghost tour. Yeah,
you went to peta straight cat and made gang signs
and entertained a bunch of people. Then you went down
and was almost attacked by a crane. Yep, and you
entertained other car loads.
Speaker 2: It was a good time.
Speaker 1: What the hell? You know? That story couldn't have been
more all over the place.
Speaker 2: It was the best pull. Me and my friend both
have ADHD severely, so that is basically what happened. He
just lose track of time, Like I didn't realize it
was as late as it was so like we grabbed
a candy apple, so like on our way back from
the beach adventure, we found this restaurant, not restaurant, that's
a lie. It was a chocolate slash ice cream restaurant
if you would, And they had dozens and dozens of
candy apples. They cut the candy apples for you, Like,
what is that?
Speaker 1: That's amazing? Yeah, there's a few places that I love.
Speaker 2: That, so I don't want to get my tup cell
in it. And it was the delicious, most delicious. It
was the most delicious apple I've ever had in my
old life. It was like a caramel candy apple pie
app I'll show you a picture of a second. And
then we got these like slushy things that were so good.
They were so good, and they had ice cream. They
had ice cream, but then they had like waffle cones.
It's like a scoops you could use that instead of
a fucking spoon. This place was amazing and we had
so much fun, and like we planned to go back.
But like basically, when I hang with with this particular friend,
that that's what our nights kind of turn into. We
just kind of like go where the wind takes us,
and sometimes it takes us too far from home, and
you don't get home till two thirty in the morning
because you don't You got a flat tire and didn't
know how to put air in your tire and no
one would help you, so you sat there googling how
to do it.
Speaker 1: That's very specific, So I'm sure that actually happened.
Speaker 2: That did actually happen, that my tire was being a
little funky and we couldn't figure out how to put
tie but air in the tire. And we sat there
for a second and just kind of ate the candy
apple while we googled what the fuck to do? We
just sat there. You would have so much fun, you
wouldn't even know what to do. You'd probably go nuts
because there is no plan. Like, we had kind of
plans to go to some restaurant, but I was like,
fuck this, I don't want to sit in a restaurant
that's gallivant until like, there is no place to really go,
And so we found this place called the Blue Eyed Crab.
Guy Ferrari was there. I saw his signature.
Speaker 1: His name is actually Fietti, even though it's yeah like confetti.
Speaker 2: Oh mister, well he kind of looks like confetti, let's
be real.
Speaker 1: So so it's funny you say that because I actually
have a story that corresponds with that. Tracy and I
went to eat at a restaurant the other night, and
that restaurant was on that Dinners, Drive Ins and Dives
with Goy Fiedti, so he'd actually been there, yep. Due
so both of us did something that had as so
Coolfietti connection.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, it was so much fun. And
like Julia, who's Gelia child, was there too. There's a
photo of her as well at that restaurant at one
point in time. It's called the Blue Crab in Plymouth,
and it is so good. They're very gluten free friendly people.
Of course I didn't get the gluten free thing on
the menu because what he was a gluten free sensitivity
not me. So I had a I had this spicy
buffalo chicken sandwich thing, but I don't know. On the pickles,
I don't like sweet pickles, but these pickles had it
in for me. They were good. I almost ordered like
a whole tub of them, but I had to have
some self control. I had to save room for all
that candy appleness that was about to happen. But yeah,
you know, we backpacked through Plymouth. Oh wait, and we
tried and we tried. This is the other part too,
that I'm surprised I'm not dead. So we were walking
and we were like, wow, we're getting really kind of hungry.
You got a little stoned on our walk. We're having
a good time. So we're walking. This is me walking
mm mm m and there's like a Chinese food restaurant,
and the sky was standing outside with samples right there.
It was like one hundred degrees outside, so that should
have been like a don't do that. No, no, not me.
I'm like, well, what do you recommend? Dead silence? I'm like, oh, no,
that means it's not good. If he if the person
that's selling it to you can't tell you what his
favorite thing is, don't eat it. Not me. So we
walked down a little and that's where I proceed to
face fuck like a cup of I think, I want
to say spicy, vegetable slight. I don't know what it was,
but it was an instant regret. I didn't even get
it down my throat. I couldn't. I was in panic.
It was hot, it was spicy, it was a million
degrees out. And now not only have I split this
back into a cup, someone has watched this whole thing happen.
I'm spitting it into a cup and I'm like, oh,
that was disgusting. But then I then eat some rice
and choke on that because it was so dry. I
was like like why, and my friend's like, hey, what
the she already like ate her samples and she's like,
you're a menace. It was just the grossest fucking thing.
But you know what, the next day, I'm not even
this is like TM, I I almost shit in my
pants because I did not make it, almost didn't make
it to the bathroom because I just was like, I think,
I think that that got me a little bit. I
was fine and throw up. I had one episode and
I was fine. If you must know, not that anyone
cares out in the universe, but yeah, I mean that
Friday night was the best Friday Night ever ever in
the books I've had in a long time, and it
only cost me, I think, like fifty bucks the whole night.
Speaker 1: Now I'm debating on whether I even want to do
this story because I don't think I can compete with
what you've just babbled in the past twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: First of all, sir, it wasn't babbling. They were fucking
Amanda facts. Bitch right, I've had don't chef fuck with
me today, buddy. All right, let's see your story. All right,
that's it, podcast done. I trumped all the shit.
Speaker 1: We literally probably could end it right there, all right, Amanda.
So I feel bad because you didn't get to do
your ghost tour. So how about we do a story
tonight that has a little ghost story action going on
with it?
Speaker 2: All right? Is there any cannibalism in this story? Right?
Speaker 1: There's no cannibalism when there's no there's child death, no
animals made out of humans.
Speaker 2: You fucked with me on that one, because I'm not
gonna lie to you. I always wondered what it would
smell like, what that smells like? I didn't do it.
I didn't want to smell like my own coaches, Like,
I don't even know what that is? What is to cheese?
And how do you get it? That's gross? Like? What
does that smell like? I don't know what it is.
I've never had that.
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, I was kind of waiting for you to
respond to my question.
Speaker 1: But I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well I just told you we didn't have any of
that in this episode, and you tried to move it
in that direction anyway.
Speaker 2: Well, I just wanted to wow, there are some fruit
flies in here. Yeah, So let's uh, let's go baby.
Speaker 1: All right, Amanda, this is a castle story. We're going
to go to Scotland and If you know anything about Scotland,
it's known for its beautiful green scenery and handsome.
Speaker 2: And with long hair who play the He plays a
thing that I likenes. No, but I have to tell
you Scottish men are adorable.
Speaker 1: But go on, Well, since we're on the subject of
and don't go too in depth on this, But since
we're I just mentioned locks over there, what do you
think about the Lockness monster? Is that something real or
is it not real?
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel. I think it might
be bs bs. I don't know who's to say. We
could be tubs and a container somewhere just tucked away
that aliens forgot about. We don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't even expect that answer, right, So let's go.
Let's go back to the episode we're doing on Scotland.
It's also known for its many castles, and some of
these are centuries old.
Speaker 2: Huh does David Bowie live in any of those castles?
Speaker 1: David always dead, He's not living anywhere, He's living in
a tomb.
Speaker 2: Well, I think David bow would probably reside in one
of these castles because he is the Goblin king after all.
Speaker 1: Well, I think he's goblin now is maggots.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 1: The castle we're going to talk about tonight is actually
one of the newer one. It's called Carbisdale Castle. It
was built between nineteen oh six and nineteen seventeen. That's
said to be one of the most beautiful and the
last grand castle ever built in Scotland. It's got six floors,
forty rooms, a bell tower with and it's got three
hundred and sixty five windows throughout, one for each day
of the year.
Speaker 2: But wait, what say that again?
Speaker 1: It's got three hundred and sixty five windows throughout the castle.
Oh all right, I was I figured you must have
missed something.
Speaker 2: It was like three hundred and sixty five bedrooms. Like wait, wait,
is this an Airbnb or something?
Speaker 1: No, it is not, oh Samanda. Most castles are built
for a specific queen or specific king, or just to
prevent attacks from the enemy forces. Right, well, Carmesdale has
a slightly more sinister history, one that's born out of Spike.
Just how the castle has earned its nickname Spike Castle.
So we're gonna go back to eighteen eighty three. Here's
a young lady by the name of Mary Carolyn Blair.
Now she married Captain Arthur Blair. At this time, the
Captain was working for a gentleman by the name of
George Sutherland Levante Gower. He was the third Duke of Sutherland. Okay,
that's all you gotta remember, is that part duke.
Speaker 2: He's the third Duke of Sutherland, of blin Sutherland.
Speaker 1: Now, unfortunately, Arthur would pass away that same year, eighteen
eighty three from a gunshot. Okay, that's where the story
really starts, because this kicks off a bitter inheritance battle.
I guess it's probably the best way to put it
between Mary and the Duke's children. Oh no, Now, initially
the Duke has these kids, he's divorced, and he starts
dicking around with Mary after Mary's husband died. Remember her
husband worked for him, so he knew who she was.
Once Arthur's gone, the Duke starts fiddling around a little
bit with Mary, fling around the fiddle his kids. The
Duke's kids did not think this was appropriate and they
didn't like Mary. Well. Things only got worse when it
was announced that Mary and the Duke were going to
be married. Uh oh, Mary was going to become the
Duchess of Sutherland. So Mary as you can imagine. Who
was apparently a real bitch. She opposed the children's inheritance
that they were meant to receive after the Duke passed
away in eighteen ninety two.
Speaker 2: He said, you can't have none.
Speaker 1: It's exactly what she said.
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, she's a bitch, she's petty LaBelle.
Speaker 1: The kids already hated her, but it got worse when
they found out that the Duke had left almost everything
to marry and hardly anything to them.
Speaker 2: What an asshole. He's also a dick.
Speaker 1: The Duke's son, who was said to become the fourth Duke,
decided to contest this in court, so that he did.
With all that was being worked on with the courts,
a few other things started to come out out. It
didn't really put Mary in that good of a light.
A mandate was discovered that Mary had purposely destroyed some
vital documents relating to the will. The destruction of those
documents ensured that she would receive everything, while the Duke's
children would be left with very little.
Speaker 2: That's messed up, honestly it is.
Speaker 1: So Mary goes to court, she's found guilty of committing fraud,
and she sent to Halloway Prison in London. She has
been six weeks behind bars. After she was released, she
met with the Duke's children. So the kids decided that
it would probably be best to come to some sort
of a compromise. I would have I wouldn't have either. No,
but the kids now had everything because when she got
put in jail, it was declared to she had destroyed
evidence that it should have went to the kids. So
they now have everything. She has nothing. So they really
didn't have to do anything for her, but they it.
Speaker 2: Was really nice that they did, right.
Speaker 1: So the settlement that they agreed upon was that a
castle would be built for Mary to live in. There
was one condition. It would be built on the outside
of the Duke of Sutherland's estate. She would also receive
a nice sum of money, so children felt like this
was the best way to pretty much just get rid
of her once and for all. But this would not
be the case because Mary had other plans. She had
the castle built in Carbisdel. She did this out of
spite because where it was it faced the property where
the Duke's children were living.
Speaker 2: Bought a bitch. I hate her even more? Why is
she like that?
Speaker 1: So now she they have to see this castle that
they had built for her on a red at her.
Speaker 2: Basis, flipping them off every time she passed the window
up on.
Speaker 1: The clock tower, we'll call it. She added three clocks
to the castle tower, one on every side except for
one side that was left blank, which was the side
facing the Southerland estate. That blank side was symbolic that
she would not give them the time of day. That's
why she left them the blank side.
Speaker 2: Oh that is such a disk. Oh shit, I want
to do that to my enemies and what so.
Speaker 1: Because of all this, they started calling the castle the
Castle of spite rather than what it was.
Speaker 2: Castle.
Speaker 1: Mary lived there until nineteen thirty three. It was then
sold to a Scottish businessman by the name of Colonel
Theodore Salvas Colonel. From them everybody was colonels and dukes,
and from from that point the castle served as a
haven for multiple Kings of Norway. I'm not exactly sure
how that connection worked out. During World War II, the
castle was the site of many important meetings. Military strategies
were discussed in these meetings at the castle. The colonel
passed away in nineteen forty two and his son inherited
the castle. He then donated the castle in all of
its contents to the Scottish Youth Hostile Association and they
kept it up to twenty sixteen, and at that point
it was too expensive for them to maintain, so in
twenty twenty one it went back on the market for
one point five million pounds, which is about two million
US dollars. Shit, but they let it know be known
to perspective buyers that you know what, there just might
be a ghost that comes along with this castle if
you decided to buy it. One of the rooms, room
to eighteen, or as some call it, the spook Room,
was a nursery at one point in the past. Many
people have reported experiencing strange events that they can't explain.
Guests have report had seen strange shadows moving around the room.
Shadow figures have also been seen walking around the bed
with the guests that are trying to sleep.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would hate that.
Speaker 1: Get this. Some have experienced rainfall inside of that room.
Speaker 2: I've heard of that. Though. I feel like this is
starting to make sense and sounds familiar to me. Now.
Speaker 1: There was a guy named Donnie Decker I think in
Ohio that he was in prison and he would make
it rain inside the prison, and he had raining outside
the pizza place that he went to. It's a really
crazy story. Other reports have people hearing the sound of
children talking and crime.
Speaker 2: One occasion, could that be like a what do you
call that? Like hysteria because it was like a child's room.
Like it's not hysteria because not everyone believes it, but
because it was like a kid's room, do you just
like think that's what you're hearing?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I'll see what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Maybe just like, yeah, you think it, like because you're
already hyped up and you're scared. Yeah, like you think
you know what I mean? Like there have been places
that I've gone to and I just automatically assume, like
I hear weird things, but in reality, I'm just like
hallucinating because where I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure could be. On one occasion,
a guest had been kind of excited to see all
the beds in the room had been turned around the
wrong way.
Speaker 2: What's weird?
Speaker 1: Am I boring you? Oh?
Speaker 2: Sorry? Yoh? I listen. I have a fruit fly situation
going on. My husband left a banana appeal in his
trash and I want to trash him. I'm so bissed.
Speaker 1: People have also heard the sound of organs and bagpipe
music coming from the Castle ballroom, despite being empty at
the time.
Speaker 2: Wow. Ew see, that's faunting. I like a good bagpipe number,
but I don't want to hear it when there's nobody around,
because that's creepy. You with the fog rolling in, and
it's like.
Speaker 1: You said shit about fog rolling in, and you quit
adding shit to it.
Speaker 2: Fog could roll in and then you hear that, and
then the next thing you know, you're inside the castle
and your soul is being sucked in by this lady
who works for the devil.
Speaker 1: All right, but the most well known spirit in the
castle is known as the White Lady. She's actually been
spotted several times, but the very first time was by
a man named George Murray. He worked at the Castle gardens.
He said, just had to look up one day and
he was there. Yeah, he said, she he' spired this woman.
She was dressed in white dress and she was standing
next to a bush.
Speaker 2: She was standing next to a bush. Listen, I have
a question. There's ladies and white, there's ladies in blacks.
But Why is there never ladies and yellows, pinks and
greens or any other color.
Speaker 1: It's always there's other colors. There's a lady in the
Sill Black Hotel. That's a lady in blue. There's a
lady in Indiana at this old old story and I
think she's purple, the purple lady. So they're out there,
but most of them are white.
Speaker 2: Blackway.
Speaker 1: He sees the lady as soon as he's sorry, he said,
she disappeared, and he and went on to see her
multiple times.
Speaker 2: Does she like interact with them or does she not
know she's dead yet?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I didn't see anythings saying she
was interactive. There start to be other appearances of the
white Lady to other spectators, and at that point in
time they started thinking, well, maybe this is Mary's spirit.
There's also the spirit of a man in a military
clothing and he's seen walking around the grounds and also
seen in the corridors, and they think that maybe this
guy was maybe killed during the Battle of Carbonsdale, which
is where the castle is built. And you know, they
don't really know, but he's seen walking around the corridors
of the inside and he just disappears like the other ghosts.
And that's my story on the Castle of Spike Se.
You get a little bit of ghost story, a little
bit of crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I have a question. I'm waiting, Okay, how come?
How come they can't do cooler things? They're always just
count in gardens and corridors. I don't think they had
to have a conversation with one. I want to sit
down and be like, what was it like to have
a telegraph? What was it like to not have DV
in internet?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What was that like?
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the energy because they have
to draw on energy to be able to do anything.
And I think it's just like I think it's just
like if you have a laptop. Yeah, that's that's that's
got ten battery yeahet, You dim the lights on it,
you turn the sound down so it's not lasting, to
try to save energy. And I don't think they've got
the ability to just be like you and me. That's
my guest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I'll ask one one day.
Speaker 1: And you won't get a response because I just told
you they're saving energy.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just bring an unknowing victim with me. Come here,
set down here, don't move.
Speaker 1: But I do think that's the thing I think, and
I think in some cases, I don't think they are
real spirits. I think it's a residual energy left over,
especially when you see somebody always.
Speaker 2: Will run over again, over again, so they don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I guess that ends it this episode.
Speaker 2: I guess it does. What a shame, all right.
Speaker 1: It was a fun one.
Speaker 2: It was fun and then you got to see how
I work in real life when I go out in
the public.
Speaker 1: That I did.
Speaker 2: Folks, will see you later. Bye.
