Speaker 1: You are listening to table story.
Speaker 2: Well, now, I reckon, I ought to tell you a story
at a little office that handles things nobody else. Will
you know, a supernatural super unnatural haunting sexes. The whole
list is rather long, and we don't have near enough
daylight for that. What you need to know is this
ain't no script here. We make it up as we go, music, sounds, etc.
It's all produced for you live like magic and it
being a scary story and all I'm assuming it will
have all the things scary stories do. But I'm just
guessing here because of it being improvised, and all all
I know is with this cast, well, it's probably gonna
be brutal, violent and have enough moral decay to make
our therapists quit. You got one of those, right, good,
So use your brain. Okay, it's gonna be scary, strange
and dumb as hell. Oh off you p catch is
that you?
Speaker 3: Oh? I thought this was my?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Where?
Speaker 2: Well, welcome back? Will They're on a on a on
a mission, on a job. They might be in a
mild pickle. But more importantly, how was the funeral?
Speaker 3: Oh? Godd it, it was healing a lot. I think
it was meant to be healing.
Speaker 2: Meant to be in actually healing? Or two? You know
they're different. Yeah, do you want to do you want
to stay here with me? Do you want a cup
of coffee? Do you want to sit down? And you
want to talk about it? I'm not very good at
these things.
Speaker 3: I'm afraid I'm gonna be honest. I'm a little bit tipsy.
Bring some coffee might help with that. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I can get you a cup of coffee. Do
you want whiskey in it? Or like? Was it I'm
a little tipsy? Like was that an invitation for us
to sit down and share a drink? Or would you
like to sober up? Again? Not very good at this.
Speaker 3: No, it's I think just coffee, Sam, I will anything
bad happen if I was drunk in the office.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean you may spill a secret or two
you don't mean to, but you mean like magically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm this is all still very new to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I mean sometimes people do magic better when
they're a little lubricated. But you know that's just individual preference.
Maybe it's something mental block. I'll just get you a
regular coffee, Okay, have you seen Josephine at all.
Speaker 3: Should I look for well, can.
Speaker 2: You do that thing where you kind of look a
little bit in your side eye? I don't think that's
what it's called, but yeah, try I do that because
I haven't been able to find her. And I actually
stayed behind because there's something weird going on in the
office and I don't I can't quite put my finger
on it. There's something weird here. Do you feel that,
like a weird.
Speaker 3: Pressure thought of yes, I think I thought it was
just a migraine coming on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's like like your ears kind of like
behind your ears somewhere you feel.
Speaker 3: That it's not look in that direction or do I
look away from that direction? Just there's been react to
being called.
Speaker 2: Josephine.
Speaker 3: I don't see your well, I'm not. I'm trying not
to make any direct eye contact to any place in particular,
but I do not see anyone peripherals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we either. Oh, here, here's your coffee.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: It's the it's the sprinkle stuff. I hope that's all right,
the powder or whatever. Thank you.
Speaker 3: It was nice seeing the family together. I guess just
the circumstustance.
Speaker 2: What right, Yeah, that's what they say, like weddings and funerals, right,
is when you get to finally see the whole family altogether.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we buried in back home in the UK, so
I was there for a bit nice, but yeah, it
wasn't healing for me. I don't think I think I
was angry the whole time.
Speaker 2: Well, i'd say that it seems a bit normal considering
the circumstances. Normal whatever, healthy, Maybe maybe that's a better
word for it.
Speaker 3: I think both works, which makes it worse.
Speaker 2: Imagine you might be angry for a long time, and
I imagine it'll ebb and flow. Angry, sad, angry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't. I don't know what to do
with it. Sometimeimes it's just really paralyzing, and it just
feels worse because more thant anything, I think I just
want time to sit in it. You just do nothing
but to be angry. But to live, I have to
keep doing things and the world will give me the
time to just not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the world has enough space for grief. Unfortunately this
place does.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 2: You know, if you want to sit and just stare
at a wall, which sounds weird, you know you don't
have to go anywhere or do anything. You don't even
have to read a book.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. I guess that's one way. That's a
weird place. It's nice. Yeah, Sorry, thank you for the
coffee and the way this is this is that's good?
Speaker 2: Is that true? Are you telling the truth or you fibbing?
Speaker 3: No? I really don't like it, Okay.
Speaker 2: I figured I could tell by the wrinkle or your
nose rup before you went in for the second sip. Sorry, though,
we can work on it. Maybe you can. Maybe next
time you're at home, you can get your favorite can
and bring it into the office if the office will
let you, which I'm sure that it will.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if and you was walking into the office when
I went through that door. My mom made me some.
I don't know if you've had this before or any
ifew have. I don't know where the rest of you
will love, but you lo rice? Oh?
Speaker 2: Sorry? What rice?
Speaker 3: Bluff? Rice? There's a Nigerian dish. My mom made me
a ton to bring back home. Nobody makes Nobody makes
you rice. Like the next time I could bring some.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that would be lovely. I love trying
new food.
Speaker 3: How tolerant are you with space?
Speaker 2: We'll find out which sounds like a crazy answer, but
I actually don't know. Okay, we'll find out how tolerant
I am. Listen, akotchier. I want to say something, but
I'm not really sure how to say it. I just
would like you to know that my door is always open.
And I know that's like cheesy, and people say that
all the time, And even though I'm not the best,
I would love to hear anything that you would like
to share with me at any time. Even if you're
angry and you just want to yell out the window,
that's fine too. If you want to just sit and
stare at a wall, that's fine. If you want to
tell me you know all about your brother, I would.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, I do appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Now, I do feel obligated to tell you that everyone
else might be in a slight pickle at the moment,
like my old pickle, maybe medium, possibly large.
Speaker 3: He ranged across all of the potential sizes of pickles,
so it didn't really.
Speaker 2: Do Yeah, it really kind of depends. I guess on them,
but I lost contact with them on the special radio,
so I don't know. I don't really want to send
you in there because I don't know what's happening in there.
I think they might be dealing with a spirit of
some sort, some sort of spectral entity in somebody's house.
We had a client come in and we took her
case and she was talking about a haunting maybe in
her house.
Speaker 3: Did you know anything else about it? It is a
situation when we have to do.
Speaker 2: They were calling, Yeah, they were calling to let me
know kind of the update on it. And I think
they might be trapped in the house. I've tried the
radio and I don't get anything but static.
Speaker 3: Now Okay, okay, I'm not going to finish his coffee. Okay,
do we go in? Do we go in after them? Then?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: I was trying to figure out how the best I
do that. Well. Also, there's something weird in the office
that I need to I need a way to communicate
with you or them to know when I come in
with the big guns.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: I think I can just send you in and hopefully
you can open the door and they can get out
and we can all come back and figure out what's
going on. But I really don't think I should leave
the office with whatever this is here. Don't tell them
that there's something in the office Okay, I want to
figure it out first.
Speaker 3: Okay. In the worst case scenario where you don't figure
out what's in here, what do we do?
Speaker 2: Well, worst case scenario, if I don't figure out what's
in here, then let's not think about the worst case
scenario for if I don't find out what's going on
in the office, Let's think about what you can do
to help them. Don't do magic, gotcha, I can't look
at me nod. They're probably gonna want to do something crazy. Okay,
don't do anything stupid. All right, I'm serious. You're the one.
I'm worried about doing that kind of stuff right now.
The temptation they get you when you're weak and vulnerable.
Not that I'm saying you're weak in vonneum, but you're
weak in vulnerable right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, identify.
Speaker 2: That all right. Well, if they want to do something stupid,
oh boy, Okay, if they want to do something stupid,
you just got to make sure that they know exactly
who it is they're trying to reach before they just
reach out into nowhere. Okay. If they try to communicate
with this thing at all, they have to know what
it is that they're communicating with. Before they do it.
Kind of like the last case right where we had
to be sure before we did anything. Just be sure, Okay,
oh I'll be sure, and I try to convince everyone
else didy the say.
Speaker 3: I feel like when it comes to that, I'm usually
the one. Usually I'm the one who usually has that idea.
Anyway to be sure?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, well, now let's see if the door even
opens and work for you, because it's sure she had
done for me.
Speaker 3: Before. Can I grab some stuff?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I go into the closet here.
I think I want to say you're dealing with a
spirit or a spectral type of some sort haunting of
the likes, but I don't rightly know for sure. It
could also be I mean, there's a lot of things
that could be. But it seems like it seems like
it's an oddity shop that someone was running, and they
may either have actually been aware and awake and using magic,
or they may have been oblivious and magic was using them.
I'm not really sure.
Speaker 3: Any things I definitely need if it's spiritual in nature.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would take. Okay, so here's the important thing,
because I know you're gonna do something dumb if not stupid,
even though I've warned you to not do that. Metaphor
matters with magic. Okay, So sometimes you're going to take
things that to you make logical sense as to why
you would need it. But the spell that you do
is going to be different from a version that somebody
else might do. You don't always obviously want to rely
on television because that doesn't make sense. But also if
that's the only thing you know and you believe that
it's gonna work, then you might have some sort of
it might help you. But I would recommend salt in
anything that would anything that you think would help bridge
between you and a different layer. It's what I call it.
It's like a it's like a series of blankets.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, salt is an easy one, and I ahead
of it. To the door. Okay, make a roll and
open it. Okay? Is this with a magic stack? Correct?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 5: Sure is?
Speaker 3: Okay, Nope, it's failure.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 2: Uh, do you want to say that the door just
doesn't open? You can also spend a burn to reroll
it if you want to try again.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'll spend a burn, all right, go for it.
Speaker 2: Nope, all right, it was not meant to be. Then
I think you go to open the door and it
kind of rattles and it won't open, And then I say, yeah,
it's doing the same thing for me. I don't know why.
It really doesn't feel like it really doesn't feel like
the office. It feels like something else got in here somehow,
and I just need to figure out what it is
and how to deal with it. Try the front door.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll reach for the front door, twist the handle.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead and make another role for me. Failure, Okay,
So the door is going to shake and rattle, and
then I'll reach out and try to do it, and
it does the same thing for me. Yeah. See, I'm
stuck in here. I couldn't even go help them if
I wanted to.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I mean I'm stuck in here as well.
Speaker 2: Potentially try the radio. See if you can't get a
hold of them. Okay, radio, yep, go for it, and
you can actually just go ahead and use it. It'll work.
You want to reach them right now?
Speaker 3: Hello, Hello, anyone anyone in there? It's things working.
Speaker 4: Hell yeh.
Speaker 2: See it's doing that thing where you can kind of
hear what you're saying but you can't hear everything that
they're saying. Ask them if they're alive. I mean, they're alive,
but ask them if they're all alive.
Speaker 3: Are you all okay?
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I think that trapped in a house.
Speaker 2: See I told you they're trapped in the house.
Speaker 3: Okay. Can you see any windows or doors?
Speaker 7: Just one window? But not able to breaking up?
Speaker 2: Okay. So last time when I was trying to talk
to them, something else was using the radio at the
same time I was, so I stopped having the line open.
But that doesn't seem to be happening right now. And also,
who knows, maybe that's what we need to be doing
so that they can get the information that they need.
I have an idea, Josephine, if this is you keeping
us in here and not opening the door, I'm gonna
need you to open the door. So our friends are
in trouble, all right, they're they're trapped, and I whatever
it is that you're upset about, I will help you
when we come back. Does that sound fair? Try the
door again, I works for you.
Speaker 3: Sure a door? It's another roll yep right now?
Speaker 2: It sure is? Seventy five?
Speaker 3: No, it's not working. No, I don't think either of
them are working.
Speaker 2: All right? What the hell is this? It doesn't feel
like it's Josephine, it feels, but it does at the
same time, she must be mad about something. Here.
Speaker 5: Will you do?
Speaker 2: Move weird favor? Exkis men. Close your eyes and I
want you to feel that pressure building in behind your ears. Okay,
I want you to follow it.
Speaker 3: I wrote the room.
Speaker 2: Yep, almost as if it were some sort of beacon
that you could follow. Follow it until it gets pretty
intense that pressure.
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess I've started moving, And where do you
think where? I think at first WENTII shall wear at
moving and I think I'm moving like back forth less
and right to see where pressure builds. And I once
I in on where it seems to get shronger, I
start moving in the direction. Yeah, and I think I
bump into a desk. I think it's your desk, and
I think it's coming from here.
Speaker 2: Okay, is there something on your desk? In your desk?
Speaker 3: Nothing on it, but I'll reach for a draw open
what is it? I'll pick up the musk, the Venetian musk?
Is this?
Speaker 2: I think that might be it? Are you feeling the
intense pressure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, try the door now with the mask. Yeah, I
keep it on me.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, sometimes sometimes things don't want to be left behind.
I mean, nobody really wants to be left behind. But
try the door now.
Speaker 3: I think I'll reach for the storage closet door fast.
Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead and make a roll. This is not
to succeed it opening the door. This is for something else,
So it's gonna last the rest of the same for
me and this one. Do a soul.
Speaker 3: Actually, oh sol.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. Okay, So you will open the door
and it will actually open to the warehouse. They wrote
they had somebody open roll for the warehouse last week,
and I'm gonna let that count as you're getting to
pick your your whatever you want. He rolled the one,
So whatever gear you want, you get. But it does
open very smoothly. It doesn't rattle or anything. So okay,
there we go. You open the storehouse and it's when
you're holding that. But this is just maybe.
Speaker 3: Josephine Musk, why is this doing this?
Speaker 2: I don't know what might be. I don't know. I
don't want to even theorize right now. But can you
keep that on? You see if you can open that
front door.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I would just grab salts and a I
think I already have my mini tool kit, but I
have that be one of my things that keep on me. Okay,
and the mosque it's my third items, can take three
of me.
Speaker 2: Perfect? Can I have one of the dumb agents throw
in something random form? Please? They're all thinking, I know
you can't.
Speaker 7: Stand for a remote for an AC unit.
Speaker 2: Oh how dare you? Okay? Perfect? All right, so you
have that as well, and I don't know why you
pick it up, but for some reason you do, or
it accidentally falls into your magical bag, you know, miniature
bag of holding almost in a weird way, but that
is going to be in your bag of things and
it doesn't take up on your slots, so you're good. Okay,
Now try the front door.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just and I strapped the masty like my
belt buckle, one of my belt leaps, and I'll try
the front door. Yeah, it opens, no problem, it's working fine.
Speaker 2: Right now, that's weird. Okay, tell you what.
Speaker 5: I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna touch that right now now that you've
touched it. But what I will do is I'm gonna
I'm gonna grab a couple of books, and I'm going
to look into this real quick. You contact me on
the radio if you need me. Okay, that's weird, that's abnormal.
That shouldn't be happening. And don't panic. Okay, I'm sure
it'll be fine.
Speaker 3: Okay, that that I was somewhat calm, but telling me
not to panic.
Speaker 2: Just okay, okay, sorry, I'll try not to do that again.
Speaker 3: I guess I see you have a great day. Yeah,
lo will cut the front door, and.
Speaker 2: As soon as you do, you are ooh, this is fun.
Who's closest to the door in the in the trapped house?
Speaker 7: We wouldn't that be Lilith as the last one to
come in?
Speaker 2: I think so, Lilith, would you make a roll for me?
Speaker 5: Please?
Speaker 2: It would be certainly.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 8: Oh oh my lord, Oh this is perfect.
Speaker 2: That is an eighty eight for those listening, which is
an omen which means something crazy happens. So what I'm
gonna say is, you guys are sitting there the radio,
Jim just made that call on the radio, and then
you're gonna hear a banging on the front door. Uh,
and the front door is actually gonna like bow unnaturally
as you hear this, like very rough banging on the
front door, a kachi easier you can shout. You are
on the other side, I should say, not that it
is you, but you are on the other side of
the door.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hello, is this the right I'm not in a
I'm going to bathroom, am I? Hello? Look at wrestling?
Speaker 4: Hello, Sara Caffie.
Speaker 7: Yeah, sounds like it's one of our other agents, one
of other agents. They would have been here normally, but
they were out of town.
Speaker 2: Are you all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hello, it's all opened this door.
Speaker 9: Say something on to the real card. You would know.
Speaker 3: I've only known all of you for maybe literally a
few days. I think I could say anything. Then you
wouldn't know if it us me or not.
Speaker 7: It's pretty accurate.
Speaker 9: It's a good point, a pretty good point.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna try to open the door forward.
Speaker 2: This has nothing to do with strength and actually opening
the door. But could you roll a mind check for me?
Gim all right, and the roles are working this week?
Seventy nine? Okay, perfect, You open the door, A Cotche's
there and it's not time and nothing else creeps you
out about that. It just looks normal, like you just
opened the door.
Speaker 4: Huh, that's weird, kind of sworn it was locked shut,
couldn't open it before, but it seemed to open for you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we'll see what happens when you step in.
Speaker 9: Maybe we should like crop the door open with like
a like a like a like a book or something,
or like a like a door stop.
Speaker 3: Oh, this leads straight outside, right, but this is straight outside?
Speaker 7: Yeah, right to the street.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh, okay, everyone, get get out. You are trapped, right,
get get out of the house.
Speaker 9: I'm oh, I'm not leaving.
Speaker 3: No why.
Speaker 4: We'll catch you up on what's going on here. To
get the long short of it, we believe that there's
a spirit or entity here that wants us to stay,
and we're trying to get down to the bottom of it.
Speaker 7: But they were willing to let us leave until Lilis
stepped in and then the door slammed again.
Speaker 5: I had nothing to do with that.
Speaker 7: No, I know. I'm not accusing you of nothing. It's
just more of the situation in the events that occurred
in order.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you have nothing to do with it, but I
feel like everything has to do with you at the moment.
Speaker 8: So it's good that you're it's good that you're here
as well.
Speaker 3: I'm great, I'm here, Hella. I'm a catchy.
Speaker 5: Nice, nice to meet you, a catchy. I'm Lilith.
Speaker 3: Nice to meet you. To do you want to get out?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 5: I I wouldn't mind this something awful here?
Speaker 8: So yeah, there's something awful here.
Speaker 9: But if we're gonna solve it, I think we might
need you, or at least I think whatever the spirit
is communicating that will need you to puzzle this out, Lilith.
Speaker 5: That is unfortunate. I guess I'm staying.
Speaker 7: Right, well, stay with us. I guess Scooby Doo rules,
don't don't, don't do that.
Speaker 3: I'm really lost. I would have told me that you're
trapped in the house, but it sounds like you're willingly
staying in the house.
Speaker 7: I think particular on that, but I got overruled older things.
Speaker 9: We should go back, But.
Speaker 3: I think that makes that makes sense. I think that
makes perfect sense, especially coming from done this.
Speaker 9: Kind of stuff before we come back here. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean, I've be inclined to agree, But we'll kind
of here, now, ain't we here?
Speaker 4: If we want to make a group decision here, I
think it is important that we continue this investigation. We
need all already present in order to solve this. If
we leave, now, what good is that going to do?
Speaker 7: Getting older and bringing it back was the original intent.
But nonetheless, I don't disagree with the Eye that we
can't split up.
Speaker 4: Well, we should prove that we're able to do a
case without Alders help. She is the chief, she would
want us. This is a situation where we all have
to work together.
Speaker 7: Again, not disagreeing.
Speaker 4: Well, let's get down to what we do know. Three
one four Byron Street. That's the location. We know that.
We also know that the entity has the ability to
manipulate physical items and thrown objects downstairs. Some of these
objects might have some power or importance the metaphysical kind.
The seance table exhibits changes in temperature, and changes of
temperature has been something that we have experienced throughout this building.
And the spirit also seems to be very interested in lilith.
Speaker 3: Okay and.
Speaker 7: The whispers around the seance table. I haven't actually played
the record and yet, so I don't know.
Speaker 3: If it he did a seance.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, we did not. There is a table
for it, but we have not done well. Okay o
aal there was suggesting that we might need to for
our next step.
Speaker 4: No, that's something I'm the familiar with.
Speaker 9: The only words we've made out from the ghost have
been concepts like how dare she?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 8: I was betrayed?
Speaker 9: Is definitely a very personal investment here what the ghost
perceives itself as being betrayed and keeps saying how dare she?
Over and over again.
Speaker 5: Okay, you were going to tell me this when?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 5: That's great, that's great.
Speaker 9: This was probably my first opportunity really.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, things have kind of been bad and breaking
doors and shit, Harry might have.
Speaker 5: Had an opportunity there a little while ago.
Speaker 9: Okay, well, you know, I think that's an important I
think getting out of the basement. You know, maybe we didn't,
you know, have all the data points lined up in
a row for presentation yet, but you know, I.
Speaker 7: Didn't like things being thrown around at me, you know,
normal things that a person doesn't like, and then you
don't see an entity doing that anyway.
Speaker 9: So you know, the question is who was your aunt exactly?
And my understanding is that she seems to have possessed
some kind of real understanding of magic. The arcane?
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that is that your supposition. Now, that's that's
what that's where we're going.
Speaker 9: We're going, We're going straight to magic, lilith, because I
definitely found a spell book down there, a cookbook if
you will. Yeah, okay, because those yeah marked with yeah
they are. I don't know it's the phrase it to you.
We were doing the little cute song and dance of like,
oh you know, maybe it's supernatural. Maybe it's not. It's
it's this is very magically supernatural, lilith. I don't know
how else to say it to you.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean you.
Speaker 7: Did see the door shut, slam and crack behind us
without touching it.
Speaker 2: So I see though, couchy, are you still holding the
front door open?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I refuse to take a step into this building.
Speaker 2: Okay, I need you to roll body.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I applied to physique coming to play here?
Speaker 2: Sure would?
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, let to see.
Speaker 2: Strong as hell. Let's go, Oh dear, that's the sixty one.
So the door is going to rip out from your hand,
but you're not stepping. You didn't step inside, right, so
it's just gonna shut in your face.
Speaker 7: And they're outside again.
Speaker 4: Well, this spirit certainly seems determined to keep us in here, right.
Speaker 3: So are you guys staying in there? Should I stay
out here?
Speaker 7: Uh? Well, we didn't shut that. I mean you did,
damn it. I guess if you want to come in
and stay with us and we're having to sleep, apparently
I got you.
Speaker 9: I think you should come join us. I think this
is a team building exercise. Trust fall, trust fall.
Speaker 4: We need everybody participating in the sakachi.
Speaker 7: Some ice breakers ask how well day was and what's
your favorite? And I don't know shoe size.
Speaker 4: Well, we're not here to shoot the ship. We're here
to solve the case.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to open the door again.
Speaker 4: It opened, That's what it comes.
Speaker 3: This is our last chance. I have opinion if I
walk in, it's not going to open this easily. Again.
I was staying in this building.
Speaker 7: Yep, make sure us.
Speaker 3: I suppose you.
Speaker 9: Want Do you want it to be a group vote,
because we could do that.
Speaker 3: Hey, am, I believe in democracy.
Speaker 4: I believe in solving cases. We're not going to do
it outside.
Speaker 9: All in favor of staying inside and solving the case.
Speaker 7: I'll say I'm neutral, but that doesn't usually work. So yeah,
I'll stay and be willing to help out because I
don't want near lives to be out in the cold
dealing with not anymore.
Speaker 9: All in favor of dereliction of judy.
Speaker 4: Honesty, I like, well phrased, well frased.
Speaker 2: Where those listening or imagining this in their mind right
now it went Gus went all in favor of saving
the case, immediately raised his hand, and then we had
Jim raised hand, and then here he raised both hands
like I don't know what to do, but I just
think it's hilarious that they all Then then Gus goes,
uh and and what's the alternative, And then we would
just see a cochey on the other side of the
door looking at no one raised his hand by by himself.
Speaker 7: A window on the door, so we wouldn't even see.
It's just for you, I.
Speaker 9: Assuming they raised her hand out there, so you do
seem to be outvoted. It's crazy, I think.
Speaker 7: I imagine they raised their hand with us, so we
come on in Akachi.
Speaker 3: I actually did not, but okay, and I opened the
door and very just inch, just painting inch by inch,
stepped through the doorway until finally in the house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's also this wonderful moment where it's
like inch by inch and you're kind of waiting for
the door to slam, and it doesn't slam, And then
you're in there and you're like, hey, maybe the door's
going to stay open. And as soon as you start
to think that, the door I absolutely slam shut.
Speaker 9: Well, welcome to the party, pal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well let's get straight to work. Then. You know,
I'm sensing a pattern here of troubled connections. The radio
going off and on and the bad connection is sort
of made me think we're having that same issue with
the spirit. And the only way that we're going to
get a clear connection with this spirit is I think
we have to use the seance table.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, well we need to guarantee that we need
to know who we're contacting. Right, Are we just going
to open up the channel to whatever.
Speaker 3: No, we're not doing that. We are going to whatever
you were contacting first.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4: You know that's important. So what we need to do
if we want to have a clear connection with the
spirit is used, you know, the salnce table. But we
need to know who now we do know?
Speaker 9: Forgive me, forgive me, but you said that your aunt
didn't die here, right.
Speaker 5: She didn't die here. She died in the hospital.
Speaker 7: Yea, the heart attack was here, but past, yeah.
Speaker 5: It happened here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: Thing I could think of is do we know anything
about the past of this building before your aunt bought it,
who owned it before, what was the or anything. There's
no records or anything that we can you know, there.
Speaker 5: Could be we could look around.
Speaker 3: I do you know if it's the house itself? It
could it not be an item and that you brought
back after your aunt died. It sounds like I'm I've
only watched a few Goos related movies, but it sounded
like a poetry guy say, it doesn't need to be
in the location the death nip an object.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, some packages arrived after she passed. There in
the basement.
Speaker 7: Do you open up? You set them out? No boxes? Shit,
go back to that's right.
Speaker 9: The will We're going back in the basement for sure.
Speaker 7: Yeah, great, of course we are. I don't blame you.
I might stick with you so that you're end alone,
because I'm gentleman like that.
Speaker 4: If we all go down together and do a thorough investigation,
we might be able to yield something that can point
us to who exactly that the spirit may be, but
it's still going to be a gamble. You just need
to be very thorough.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the wheels up in your room. Yeah, you mentioned that,
I can get it for you. I'll join you with that.
But but any other documents you might be able to find,
maybe the deed to the home that usually has a
h or even the least of the mortgage that's you
out and out right. You usually have a recket of
whose own deprive, maybe who she bought it from that
maybe other details that could be helpful.
Speaker 5: Sure she has one of those brown accordion folders with
all CODs. I'll grab that as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, I'll join you, so you ain't alone
at least with with this. We'll pop upstairs. Is that
what was you said?
Speaker 5: Yep?
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, we'll start with that first. I don't think
it's imperative that we go downstairs quite yet. It's a
bit dangerous down there.
Speaker 2: Thanks. So Harry and Lilith are going upstairs. Harry, are
you doing anything on your way upstairs? Are you looking
for anything?
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm looking at the the Is this one
of those those buildings of those not big banisters, you know,
the railing and all that beautiful architecture kind of thing.
Speaker 5: It would have a banister at the top, and it
would be solid wood and kind of turned you know pieces.
But it's not an exposed banister into the downstairs. It's
a closed kind of hallway ah ye, you know, situation
going up and then a partial banister at the top.
So and I can describe it upstairs as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, right, I think if it's just like one of
those close hallways, I wouldn't be looking for anything in
particular unless the paintings on the wall or pictures or
family photos that.
Speaker 4: Sort of thing.
Speaker 7: I would be looking for those most definitely, just to
see if there's any maybe a picture of the aren't
wearing that omulet, you know, or maybe a family member
prior also wearing that.
Speaker 2: Would you like to roll or would you like to
use your freebie ability or both? So what you can
do is you can roll, and then if you find
something great, you can then use your freebie on top
of it and get something else.
Speaker 7: I mean absolutely, I think I think, or let's normally
how I interpreted that as if I need to roll
regardless and I'll get something no matter what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bud, okay, perfect all right, you go ahead and
make you roll in. I just want to know if
you'll be in snoopy.
Speaker 7: Well, not snoopy so much. Maybe I dang, I couldn't
forget that. I forgot the name of the bird.
Speaker 9: It's stuck, thank you.
Speaker 7: That's the one was it would stop. That's the seventy four.
So that's a failure there, Okay, any other detail I
might see that I wouldn't normally someone else wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Well, why don't, Because Lilith you said you have a
vision of what the upstairs looks like. So I will
go and let you describe that, and then I will
come in if there's anything that needs to be added to.
Speaker 5: That sounds good. So when you hit the top of
the stairs, you'll see the living room and it's cozy,
kind of mostly browns and tans. It looks like, uh,
this was inhabited by an older woman. You know. It
appears that Lilith has not redecorated. So you'll see afghans
and you know, pillows and a TV and things. Standard
standard living room that then goes to the kitchen. A
cozy situation opened uh open set up with a dining
room table to the right. Like a big round dining
room table, some old leasey curtains. There are probably doilies
scattered around here. The kitchen counter looks a little bit chaotic,
not with dishes and things, but with the papers and
folders and files. Obviously there's something going on here and
and someone is, you know, digging through documents on the regular,
so they're being kept out here rather than say, in
the office, which there is there is. It's a two
bedroom set up up here. To the last there's a
bathroom in a tiny office, and to the right is
a bedroom and nothing super notable. There would still be
art up from when Ruth lived here, and perhaps some
family photos, maybe one with me in it when I
was younger. You would see a few photos with Ruth
in She is definitely wearing the amulet, but you don't
see photos with anyone else wearing the amulet. And I
start digging around in these files and papers that are
on the countertop. It's here somewhere. Just give me a
moment and I'll I'll find the deed as well. I'm
sure it's in here. And I start digging around in
this pretty ancient looking brown accordion file holder. She's probably
had this since the seventies, Aunt Ruth did.
Speaker 7: While you're looking, would you mind see maybe there's the
order receipts for those the packages you had mentioned coming in.
If she ordered them from somewhere to get them shipped
to be something I'm sure.
Speaker 5: I mean she was old school, but not that old school.
I think she was getting most of this stuff from eBay,
so that would likely be on her computer.
Speaker 7: Okay, that would be a good place as well. Then
if that's if you have the log ins or something, well.
Speaker 5: It was kind of written down on a post it.
Speaker 7: On her of course it was. That makes that easier then,
so that would be the next step. We can find
these and then unless you don't put me at the
computer and I can do that while you're looking here.
Speaker 4: Up to you.
Speaker 7: You're not comfortable with that, that's all right.
Speaker 5: I mean I can just come with you and I'm
going to follow you bringing this brown what they're digging
through it?
Speaker 4: Whatever?
Speaker 2: Would you like your now?
Speaker 7: I would love that actually, yes.
Speaker 2: So during all of this, there's one moment as you're
about to leave and she's carrying the brown whatever it
is five fold or thing where she pushes with her
left hand something on the table covers something up on
the table, and then all that was behind you just
a second. If you stop and you wait, she'll know
you noticed.
Speaker 7: So it's yeah, no, I don't. I don't move yet.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 7: I'll brought to the up in the in your bedroom.
Speaker 5: Is it the office right right this way. I'll want
you into this cutesy little office with you. Probably a
ten or twelve year old computer in here.
Speaker 2: She'll be very definitely.
Speaker 5: Some crocheted doilies and things, and the cozy little armchair
and uh a password on a little post it note there.
Speaker 7: I do mind, and I sit down.
Speaker 5: I have had a.
Speaker 7: I'll go log in. I'm assuming there's probably no password
to even get the get to the main desktop with this,
and then open up oh god, and probably a good
old Internet explorer, and go right to eBay log in
and go to the orders.
Speaker 2: Yep, what are the most recent orders?
Speaker 5: Do you know, miss Lilith, I would say, one of
the more recent orders within the past thirty days or
so is that book that they've mentioned downstairs, And then
just various you know how we describe the downstairs as
a bit of a yard sale of items. The recent
order list would appear rather similar. You might notice some jewelry.
You might notice a sculpture, random things that were described
as being old and Aunt Ruth deemed them worthy of
collection for one reason or the other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, Harry, you or you would notice the
list in for the cookbook probably says something odd and
weird and doesn't quite make sense. It doesn't say like
spellbook or anything like that. It's just something. I don't
know if it necessarily says cookbook. But there is some
sort of word that's used here that reminds you of
older like some of the shit that she says about that.
I don't think it's gutter or anything like that, but
there is a word in here that stands out to
you or it seems just close enough to the bullshit
that I spelled. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, something like that,
generation long recipes or something like that. And you're like, okay,
that's fucking weird. And then there's maybe one or two
other items on this list that maybe stand out to
you as maybe she did kind of know what she
was doing.
Speaker 7: Maybe all right, I'm gonna let me know what those
items are. That's smaller, just kind of general five.
Speaker 2: Uh ooh, that's I want. I don't want to just
speak for Lilith here because she's in behind the wheel.
What do you think your grandma would have been more attractive? Sorry,
your aunt? Your aunt? What was she been more attracted
to objects? Items like like a bookend or something that
might be magical or did she just collect anything that
she thought might be fishing a barrel type thing.
Speaker 5: I think there was a bit of fish in the
barrel to start, probably like twenty years ago, which is
why you still see things like, yeah, I think you mentioned.
Speaker 2: Like toy cars.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, toy cars even but I think probably in
the last decade or so, it kind of she maybe
homed in on things that actually did have some value,
and I assume most vendors of those items didn't know.
To those folks these things would have been antiques. But
there a symbol or a shape or something.
Speaker 2: She kind of was like, all right, right, okay, follow
up question and you can damn it to me if
you lack do you know, and only answer this if
you know, as Lilith, what she was obsessed with lightly
like what was her Was there something that she was
really focusing on? Was its spirits? Was it all right? Perfect?
This will help me figure out what he sees on
the eBay list. Okay, yep, all right, that's fucking wild.
But okay, okay, you see a pen an old quill
and ink set. You also see a teacup, and you
also see.
Speaker 5: Oh, bronze statue, Yeah statue at who?
Speaker 2: Can I just say it's what's behind you there? Because
first of all, I love that, so unicorn statue? Can
we just say that? Yeah? And then a unicorn statue.
Those are the things really that kind of that are
the most frequent and they're expensive. She spent a lot
on them m h talking like twenty thousand dollars for one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for the shop, went to this collection in the basement, Yeah.
Speaker 7: Very quick, just for my visuals sake. The teacup is
that more like find find china? Way? Is that all right?
Kind of what I imagine? But you know, like the
whole baby gold trim filigree and all that fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be my probably gold might even be
real ivory or something like that old bone bone china.
Speaker 7: Okay that this this is helpful. We now know what
we can at least look for, Thank you, lil. All right, Yeah,
that book is very recent and some of these things
will teacup statue. Okay, all right, Well that gives us
something to look for and find, and we can look
into that once they we they go into the basement.
All right, we're able to find things. Yes, these three
right here, two or.
Speaker 5: Three things there would still be in packages in the basement, Harriet.
Speaker 7: Perfect. That makes it even easier to find that is
that probably near the bottom of the stairs, because he
just would have set him down there and get left out,
see being down.
Speaker 5: To set them on the table.
Speaker 7: Yeah, perfect, easy, well able fond will.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So while you were looking at the orders there, I
dug around and I pull out it's really thick this
uh what would it be called the mortgage transfer thing?
And there's like a sort of a history of the
property included in that indeed, yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 7: The tidle history is that. Yeah, it's a yeah moral
someone should know that more.
Speaker 5: Indeed, and title thing and and uh say, how about it.
Speaker 7: Wonderful, we'll bring this downstairs. I don't want to be
up here with you for the sake of your own
prophecy before we head down, and I do get up
and stop going back towards the living room. What's your
heat over there?
Speaker 5: What what?
Speaker 7: What's your head over there? Up? No point lying it's okay,
well bought your head over there. If it's something important
that we need to know, even if it's shameful, embarrassing,
or something you don't want to be seen, we need
to know. Just to some paperwork, Well may I see it?
Speaker 5: Kind of wipe my brow and tuck my hair away,
and like I'm irritated, and I grabbed the paper and
thrust it at you. Here, thank you.
Speaker 3: Take a look at it.
Speaker 7: See what it is. It is.
Speaker 5: A contract that's been drawn up between myself and a
real estate agent to list this shop for sale.
Speaker 7: I don't know why you want to hide this, but
this is helpful. Admittedly this is very helpful information. I
don't give a damn if you want to sell the
place and not. But if there is something tied to
this and it's upset, this could be why.
Speaker 5: I mean, you'd be the first person not to judge
me for selling. Everyone thinks a bit of a cold
fish as it is.
Speaker 7: But I don't have your life your business.
Speaker 5: I mean I also, this was a circus. I thought
all these people coming here were ill, bored, delusional.
Speaker 7: Some might have been people find that piece and other
strange ways your aunt may have given that to them,
even if it wasn't real. Fully, but clearly something's here,
as you've now seen, and so have we.
Speaker 5: I've seen it.
Speaker 7: Yes, you have well wait seeing it as in the things,
or seeing it as an identity the.
Speaker 5: Same things you have.
Speaker 7: Okay, just check, just making chew and clear. But and
it's it's your business, it's your house. She left it
to you. I ain't gonna judge.
Speaker 5: She expected me to be attached to it. She knew
I didn't believe. I don't. And at this point I
grabbed the amulet around my neck and just kind of
fiddle with it a little bit. And I need your help.
I need I need whatever this is gone, and I
does this kind of thing have to go on a
seller's disclosure and.
Speaker 9: Not?
Speaker 7: If we're able to help out and whatever it is,
give it what it needs. The expectations of those who
are older than us, that's them, that's an undo, unnecessary expectation,
especially if it wasn't something you wanted. It was thrust
upon you.
Speaker 5: So do you want to be handed a circus to manage?
Speaker 7: No, that's what I mean. I'm agreeing with you. But nonetheless,
it's usually something good to communicate with family ahead of time.
Unfortunately you don't have that opportunity now. But hell, maybe
you do, depending on what we're about to go do.
Speaker 5: So, But what do you mean you don't?
Speaker 7: What do you which statement you're going to try to
talk to Ruth? I think that's their goal, get more information.
You were standing there when we're talking about doing the
sayans of some kind.
Speaker 5: Who else can we talking aunt Ruth?
Speaker 7: I mean she's tied to this place in some way
or another. If that happens to be her, that's causing this,
well we should know that. If it's not, then she'd
have some insight into what it might be. Sure, and hell,
if we talked to him, maybe you could clean some air.
I don't if you want to, you don't have to.
Just saying.
Speaker 5: She wouldn't understand me wanting to sell she wouldn't understand.
Speaker 7: Well, that's an assumption, and that does. I do a
lot of those, but they make an ass out of
most of us. She loved you and cared for you.
I don't think she'd be too upset if you did
not have the same desires as her.
Speaker 5: I mean, ifully care for her too. I didn't think
it was real, Harry, I'm.
Speaker 7: Aware, and that's all right. I feel like she probably
knew that too. She kept she left this place to you,
despite knowing how you felt about it.
Speaker 5: Why didn't she try to show me that it was real?
Speaker 7: Did you ever ask?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 7: Well, if she knew you didn't like it, you never
asked to be seen just to say it. Why would
she push you?
Speaker 5: I wasn't afraid. I just didn't believe.
Speaker 7: Right, That's what I mean. You didn't believe it. You
didn't let her know when she didn't want to push
it for you push it on you.
Speaker 5: Well, she did in the end, didn't she.
Speaker 7: In a way? Yes, might have been the last. Well,
it's something needs to be taken care of. And maybe
she didn't want I don't know, I don't know. Maybe
it could be protecting you in some way she gave.
She made sure you had the ambulet. I don't know
what that does unless she told you. We asked you.
Speaker 5: Before, never to take it off. That's it and.
Speaker 7: No reason, I'll write. And she had it on always there,
So in those pictures I noticed, did you ever say
what she got that?
Speaker 5: She never did?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 5: I never did ask.
Speaker 7: Right on to her death, Baby said, okay, did she
say anything? Was she handed it to you outside of
I mean, you could just really racking bright when she's
handed to you, presumably before she died or was it
during the will?
Speaker 5: I was dying and said, never take it off.
Speaker 7: She looked yeah, I apologize. She looked fearful. Did she
look regretful? Did she look how? Did? What did she
do the.
Speaker 5: She looked gone. She was pale, and I couldn't read
her expression. She was leaving right right. It's just one
of those things. There's a lot of emotion, and I sure,
I inwardly rolled my eyes. Sure, I'll never take it off,
you know, that kind of thing. And at first it
just felt like the right thing to do. You know,
people always talk about a dying wish. If someone has
a dying wish, you you know, you grant it, and
I wore it, and then I just I don't know
coming here, and I didn't want to take it off.
I don't even like the thing, but I didn't want
to take it off.
Speaker 7: Respect for the dead, I understand, for a family.
Speaker 5: Was just that That's what it was at first, But
I know, I just like, if you asked me to
hand it to you, I would say, no, I don't
want to take it off. And I don't know why
that is.
Speaker 7: I'm not to be too personal that I'm going to detail,
but bathing that sort of thing, you keep it on,
can't take it off, then either don't take it off.
Speaker 2: I think this is a perfect time to see what
the lad are up to downstairs.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're trapped in here and we're going to
a basement that you'd mentioned was dangerous. Why was it dangerous?
Is that the creatures down there we have to keep
an eye out for.
Speaker 9: Well, trapped implies that we didn't choose.
Speaker 7: To be here.
Speaker 3: We willfully sigh ourselves, I am trapped here.
Speaker 9: Okay, you're trapped here. I'm here of my own volition.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there was some weird stuff going on in the basement,
and there is a very cursed book down there, marked
with sigils and all that stuff. Definitely, why would I
touch it? Just asking I didn't touch it?
Speaker 7: I didn't.
Speaker 9: I mean I looked at.
Speaker 7: It about it.
Speaker 9: It had a pretty elaborate sigil on it, which it
had a couple of like warning messages on it, you know,
like kind of like, you know, stay out danger, do
not trespass kind of vibes on the book and also
also kind of looked like a like a a signature
in a way, like a like a mark of possession.
But I you know, I don't know whose it is.
Speaker 4: Second hold on a second ambulate you think that ambulant
to protection was meant for that book.
Speaker 7: I have this.
Speaker 9: Thing in the back of my head, right, which is
that this lady suffers a heart attack here, right, and
then yeah, she doesn't die here, she dies in the hospital.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 9: I don't really know how it works. I don't know
if you have to die in a place to actually
be bound to it, or if it could be like
an echo of her, an essence of her. I don't
know if a spirit can then travel back to a
place of resonance, you know, if it dies in a
different place. But what caused the heart attack could very
well be tied to whatever that is or something else
in the building. There could be hostile entity here with
designs upon Lilve's family, or it could be Ruth trying
to communicate protect guide. Those are my two theories at
the moment.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, at the moment, the spirit doesn't seem malevolent.
Most of the things that have been going on here
and objects getting thrown off shelves, tables, whispers incoherent whispers.
We've been able to communicate just a little bit. But
anytime we ask anything personal, that's when the connection, it seems,
between us and them is cut off. And the strange
thing is is when we ask this disembodied spirit if
they were dead or not, it seems like they're still alive.
But now I am wondering about this book and the
amulet is supposed to be some form of protection, so
I wonder again, is that amulet protecting against that book?
And whoever has that amulet can they access it?
Speaker 9: I guess it depends on what the book is, Like,
I've been assuming it belongs.
Speaker 8: To Ruth, that's my best guess.
Speaker 4: But and if it belonged to Ruth and Ruth had
the amulets, the.
Speaker 9: Amulets a turnkey or like I think that lets you
bypass a ward if it's there.
Speaker 3: You mentioned there are whispers of some kind of betrayal. Yeah,
solutions to them.
Speaker 9: It was hard to make out because it was, you know,
a ghostly, whispery voice coming through you know, crackle static.
But what was clearest to me was was you know,
betrayed me?
Speaker 8: How dare she?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 9: Those are the things I heard the most.
Speaker 4: Looks like just even talking about it is riling up
the spirit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I feel like more than anything, that might
be what we want to start getting towards. Yeah, it
would have been anyone else mentioned. Only again, from what
you said, I've only mentioned Ruth and Lily in this
entire situation.
Speaker 9: Well, the problem is we haven't really established like a
two for yes, one for no situation, you know what
I mean, Like, we haven't really gotten to the point
of communicating, which is why I'm looking at the sance table.
I haven't taken a photo of this. Actually, I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna take a photo of the salance table.
Speaker 2: They couldn't see me giving you that look, but all right.
Speaker 9: I caught the look immediately. Yeah, oh boy, burning me
through the screen.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and make your role. And also I think
you said you took photos of things and you didn't
look at them yet, or you did look at them
to the other ones.
Speaker 9: I haven't looked at them yet. But my goal is
I'm going to take this photo and then I'm gonna
lay out the five photos I have.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna lay them out on the Sunds table.
Speaker 9: Well, let's see how this photo goes first, and then
we'll see what the what the what the consensus is
before I do something.
Speaker 2: Make your role?
Speaker 8: Oh boy, I would say it like that. Come on,
it could be fun.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you do have a history of rolling
crazy when you really need needed.
Speaker 9: To go ahead and make your role. Do I have
any any shift for this I should.
Speaker 7: Be aware of.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's see. I mean nope, all right, nope. You
could argue me, what what did I say?
Speaker 8: What did I say?
Speaker 2: What did I say?
Speaker 9: Okay, wow, okay, we got we got, we got doubles,
but we got it was the living.
Speaker 2: So this is like one of the best things that
you could roll. Okay. I would like you to describe
what we see as Gus as you take this picture.
But something does come over you as you take it.
I'd like to say it's a stillness, but it is
you are interacting with magic at the moment. But I
don't think Us knows that's what it is. So it's however,
Gus would kind of feel doing that, but I imagine it's
kind of like meditative you're doing that, You're tapping into
something here when you take this photo.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think I got you know I've taken I
haven't taken a photo of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And as I like raise the lens, it's it's like
just absolute stillness, microadjustments, almost as like I'm framing something
that I get.
Speaker 2: In the zone like that when I'm taking Yeah, I
follow up question before you continue, do you want to
see the truth?
Speaker 9: Always?
Speaker 2: Okay? Then you don't even need to take the picture.
When you put the camera up to your eye, you
will see two people spectrally sitting at this Sounds table,
one in Ruth's seat and the other right beside her.
And you can hesitate, you can take the photo, you
can do whatever.
Speaker 9: I take the photo and then they'll be in it.
Speaker 2: When you they'll go ahead.
Speaker 9: Okay, So I snapped the photo. And just because this
is a charged success, I would like the The vibe
it to me is that the flash from this almost
like first, but second drains the light out of the room, like.
Speaker 2: Just second goes start with just a fraction of a second.
I love that so much.
Speaker 9: Uh, And that I kind of recoil from the camera
as I finished taking I glance back to I caught
you and Jim like.
Speaker 7: That was? That was?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 9: Does people at the table? What people at the table?
There's people at the table? It looks like there's a hey,
and I'm assuming I can't see them because I don't
have the lens up to my eye at the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as you take camera down, you can't
see them anymore.
Speaker 9: And even if I was to raise it back up,
I assume that moment.
Speaker 2: The charged success is going to last for a little while,
but eventually it will fade. But as of right now,
if you were to, you know, pull it up, you'd
see them and then yeah for a little bit, yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, while I have the chance to to look at them,
so I see the one that can I yeah, just
absorb as much of their description as possible.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah. Oh damn. Well, here's the thing. I need
Lilith to come in and describe both of these people
without me dropping name.
Speaker 11: So hold on, you said there's people take them.
Speaker 3: M Okay, I can't see them seeing as in ghosts.
Speaker 4: M hm, okay, where exactly do you see them sitting?
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, in the city.
Speaker 2: Then that's eye contact because it's like I kind of
refuse to believe this is real.
Speaker 9: No, I think it's like, I think this is a
I've got what I exactly what I asked for, But
I was like never, I wasn't ready for getting what
I asked for.
Speaker 2: Do you want to go ahead and describe or would
you like me to Lilis? We cannot hear you. Oh,
go ahead, you have a preference. I would like you
to describe it, just because I don't want to get
anything wrong.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 5: So in Ruth's seat you see a short, slightly larger
woman with shoulder length, curly blonde hair. Her ghostly apparition
is wearing this amulet. She has eight or so rings on,
lots of bracelets, a bit of makeup, a big bright
smile when she does smile, though, I think now she's
probably sitting there with some stoicism, maybe looks like she's
waiting for something. And then to her right is a
woman that looks a lot like Lilith, a lot like me,
with some streaked gray hair and perhaps a softer, kind
of kinder expression and just an overall lacking the sternness
and stiffness that you see in Willith. A little more
easy going perhaps and very kind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will add that the woman sitting in Ruth's
chair is looking right at you as you take this picture,
and the other woman is looking at the stairway, And
so as this photo develops over the course of a minute,
you lot would all see this. Gus has managed to
capture the supernatural on a polaroid camera.
Speaker 9: Golly, I just slipped the foot around to Akachi and Jamler.
Huh two people?
Speaker 4: No kidding? Well, that explains why I was called. And
Ruth's seating looks like we have spirits. I want to
assume that's Ruth. But who is that next to Ruth?
Looks an awful lot like Lilith.
Speaker 7: Hm hmm.
Speaker 9: Someone else in the family maybe.
Speaker 4: Or mother, Yeah, maybe a sister, But why are they here?
She hasn't made any mention of any other family member,
only her aunt.
Speaker 3: We talked to them.
Speaker 2: Hello, I wasn't expecting that. Could you roll for me?
I love this?
Speaker 7: Yeah, this would be.
Speaker 2: This would be. It's going to be a soul check
because I don't think you know how to do what
you're trying to do yet. But you can have a shift.
We'll give you full ten from that charge. Success still
carrying over sixteen Okay, wow, okay, are you holding the
camera up as you do this or are you just
speaking to me?
Speaker 9: I think I raised the lens so I can actually
approximate eye contact. Hello, Like I guess I. In Gus's mind,
it's like, not I'm going to start a conversation. He's like,
I want to see if they can, if they can
hear me and give you the gate back because he
doesn't think things through. So that's where we're at.
Speaker 2: Okay. I think the woman that is looking at the
stairway does not move really. I think the woman sitting
in Ruth's chair, uh maybe tilts her head a little
bit and looks at you like you're odd, But she
is looking at you. It seems like she doesn't say anything.
Speaker 9: Ruth.
Speaker 2: I think the woman that is in Ruth's chair will
push the chair back, but the chair doesn't move, and
then she'll stand up. She shifts her weight onto one
leg favor in her left side, and she's still looking
at you. She looks a little bit defensive.
Speaker 9: Though here to help.
Speaker 2: Doesn't do anything else, looks like she's waiting for something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't know if this is the right up looking
at Jim and Akachi. I don't think this is the
right method of communication. Is the vibe that I'm getting?
Speaker 4: Are your goodness aware of her?
Speaker 9: But she's aware of me? So check in on her again.
Look she's looking at me.
Speaker 2: But as soon as you lift up to kind of
look at again, she's not there. The woman the other
woman is still sitting there, but that woman is gone now.
And then I need you to roll a soul or body,
one of the two. You can choose.
Speaker 9: Let's do soul. Let's be consistent.
Speaker 8: Okay, my die sir stacked today?
Speaker 3: Sorry?
Speaker 2: Wait was that another sixteen? It is the exact same role. Yeah, okay,
I mean that's wild.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: This spirit tries to enter into you, gus and use
you like a puppet, but is unable to do so.
Why is that you stop them somehow? Either you're aware
of it or not, that's fine.
Speaker 7: But.
Speaker 9: I think it's I don't think I'm aware that that's
what's just happened. Because I'm being honest. I think I
get the feeling like there's a spider web in the
back of my neck and I just kind of like
shrug it and like brush it and turn around, like
looking at Jim like, why don't you you just touch
my shoulder?
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm all the way over here, Akachi.
Speaker 9: Is this revenge.
Speaker 3: Revengeful?
Speaker 5: What you Okay?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm fine. I can lay out the photos and
we can sort of look at what we've got so far,
if you if you.
Speaker 4: Two like, yeah, let's go ahead and see what we
have so far?
Speaker 9: Yeah, where should we do that?
Speaker 4: Probably not on the Let's go over to the counter.
Maybe this sounds tables teams occupied at the moment.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel that.
Speaker 2: As soon as you say I feel that, I think
you'll get the goose flesh goose pimples up your neck
and arms as you just kind of feel like, you know,
that feeling that somebody's like right behind you. That's kind
of what you have right now, Like you can turn
around and see somebody, but you don't. It does feel
like you're being watched or somebody's following directly behind you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, as I'm as I'm walking, I'm just like anxiously,
like adjusting the collar of my jacket.
Speaker 2: I think also because you said you always want to
see the truth, and I will ask a couple more
times just to be sure, But because you did say that.
I think there is a moment where you might feel
breathing on like hear it or feel it kind of
on your neck as you walk around to this table.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think as I clock that's breathing, and as
I can place where Jim and Akachi are, I take
a deep breath, and I said to myself, you've been
around the dead a lot dead Connor.
Speaker 2: You there's probably a perfect time for Harry and Lilith
to walk down the stairs after their long conversation.
Speaker 7: Right, well, a gang.
Speaker 4: You've missed some exciting stuff down here.
Speaker 5: That's bad news.
Speaker 4: Well, good news, because we need your help, Lilith. We've
got to picture and we need to identify the people
in this picture.
Speaker 9: Okay, all right, Yeah, I'm gonna lay some photos down
on the table and I think we can all look
at them together and maybe we can draw some connections here.
So I've got the study. It's five polaroids total that
I have at the moment.
Speaker 2: All right, which one you lay down first?
Speaker 9: I think I'm going to do them in order, so
as if chronologically as I've taken them. So the first
one I laid down is a photo, and it's gonna
I'm gonna put it in the center as if it
is like the center point, which is the sign of
the shop, which is ether and Earth.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, Okay, do you remember what your role was
for this one? Probably not.
Speaker 9: I can tell you that all of my photo roles
were fails. I can tell you that much in perspect
the last one, except for the last one.
Speaker 2: For the last one. Okay, okay. So as you've pulled
these out one at a time, you've got the photo
of the sign. It just looks like a sign in
the shop. I think there's maybe some blurriness in one
of the windows, the lower window. You probably see there's
like weird light artifact that shouldn't maybe be there, But
otherwise it seems like just a photo of the sign.
And what's the next one that you lay down?
Speaker 9: The next one is the photo of the book, which,
if I call your description of it, it has light
leaking on one side of it, which was towards where
Jim and Harry were when I took it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, so you have light leak on there,
but also the book. Is anybody looking at the book?
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm looking at all of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's looking pretty intensely right. Okay, So everybody who
looks at the polaroid with the book in it, go
ahead and make it roll for me, mind or soul,
your choice. I'm not gonna explain why.
Speaker 7: I think I'm pouring over the will yep.
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense to me. Thirty one twenty seven
sixty two. Okay, oh ooh, Lilith, you just see a book.
You don't see anything odd. You feel fine looking at it.
And Jim ooh rolled a twenty seven with a twenty mark. Okay, Jim.
When you look at it, oh man, you see something
that stands out to you that you personally find intriguing.
But I don't know what you would find intriguing about
a cookbook. So what do you think that is?
Speaker 4: I think there'd be a page that's folded specifically, like
a marker like this has been used. Yeah, okay, and
the notes there's like a little note tab.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so like one of those like sticky student
notes is in there, and so you can kind of
see that, and maybe there's a writing on that note.
Oh I know exactly what it is. It's his missing persons.
Who else looks like yeah, sorry, A katcha you did too.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I got I fauld with that.
Speaker 2: What was your role? I can't scroll sixty two? Okay? Yeah,
you just feel really and I don't like to say
how your character feels unless there's magic imposing a feeling
on you, which is exactly what's happened right now. You
just feel a little uneasy when you look at the polaroid,
like that book might be real? All right? Sorry, go ahead.
I think Jim said did anybody else see that? In
points to the to the tag.
Speaker 4: Do you see that tag? You see what that says?
Speaker 7: Sorry?
Speaker 9: I did you want me to roll as well? Because
I know I actually looked at the physical ones.
Speaker 2: I was you're good, Yeah, you're good. You saw the
last time?
Speaker 3: Ye? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, no worries?
Speaker 2: Which is the schedule?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a tag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like it says missing persons. That's the
book that you shouldn't touch.
Speaker 5: Though I don't see anything, doesn't no tag.
Speaker 7: I'm breathing this document. Do you want me to take
a look? I can look at if you won't, but
I'm kind of pouring over this right now.
Speaker 4: Let's just make a note of that. Why would you're
on be interested in missing persons. Is there anybody in
your family that's gone missing?
Speaker 5: Hmm no, she no, I don't. I don't see what
you're talking about.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just difficult for you to make out.
But I'm definitely reading persons on that little tab there
on the book.
Speaker 5: There's no tab there.
Speaker 4: Is anybody else? Nobody else is that.
Speaker 7: I'll take a look now that I also wanted to
check for for Jim, and I guess myself now was
that detail he saw? Was that devil in the details? Extra?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Tab?
Speaker 3: Great?
Speaker 7: Oh that's a sixty six.
Speaker 4: Omen good.
Speaker 7: I'm glad I looked at that.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Harry, mm hmmm. What is him than to you?
Speaker 5: Harry?
Speaker 7: In general? Here?
Speaker 2: What specifically, what would be a temptation for you to
want to open this book?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Like Jim and missing persons?
Speaker 7: Oh, I see what should mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, except yours is a sixty six, so this is
going to be quite tempting.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, no, I'm aware. That's why I'm thinking
hard here. Do you mind if if you get back
to me in just a minute, yeah, I want to
give you a good answer.
Speaker 2: But what I will say is that at first you
don't see a tab, then you start to see Jim's
tab missing persons, and then it changes into whatever it
is that you say.
Speaker 7: Mm hmm, Okay, all right, right.
Speaker 2: It absolutely is very tempting with that sixty six for
you to open that book, and like, I think throughout
the rest of the scene you might feel idea, well,
maybe we should go check that book, you know, maybe
we should pick up that book.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I know. Now, Actually, now you said
all that, Uh, it looks like there's a couple of
CODs sticking out.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I can't make out if they're Tarot or if they're not.
But I mean, Tarot does run with basically like a
playing cod deck with a few extras. So I'm seeing
cords in there, and that's just it's maybe tempting's the
wrong word for me, But the curiosity has not gotten
too strong. Okay, not a thing I need, but it's
the thing I want to know that's that curate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is probably something that I mean, it's a
sixty six, not the worst role you could make, but
it is an omen So I think this is something
that will sit with you. Maybe when you get back
to the office, you'll be like, I wonder, what if
you don't open it, then you'll want to run for
quite a while.
Speaker 7: Absolutely. Why would she have CODs? Yeah, why the downland
instead of up here where the Tarror would be potentially.
So anyway, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And it's interesting you said cards. I immediately thought you're
playing dick, But I think it's interesting that you chose Tarot.
Does Harry have much experience.
Speaker 7: With that, No, none at all. He just knows that
he he looked into it at one point, not for
like the whole readings and whatnot, but more the the
when you're looking at you know, trying to find card
counters and other things that you look and you make
sure you know all the card decks and and what
they kind of look like in tails and things, and
a lot of time if there's a Charlatan, say with Tarot,
there's a lot of tales, there's a lot. So there
was studying and reading people because of that. And he's
not the best at reading people, he's good at reading cards. Okay,
So I think a lot of that was an interest
in the cards themselves, because there's crossover, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see the corner of two then peeking out
a little bit corner too. Yeah, two cards. One has
that you can see the top one hears the number
one on it, and the other one here's twelve. But
I don't think you can see and I just double checked.
You can kind of maybe see like what looks like
a wooden curtain rod on the corner of the one
that has twelve on it, and maybe some ivy coming down,
but you can't see anything else.
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, I was wondering which switch suit it was,
if I could see that or not, based on the
taro off. But yeah, all right, and that bothers me
more because now I'm curious, even more curious because that's
the beginning and endings on in tarot. That's more of
a me knowledge than a hairy knowledge. But still, yeah,
it's just gonna bother me more because now I know
that too. So thanks for that one.
Speaker 6: You're well, uh all right, sorry, that's kind of crazy,
because what I was gonna say when I lay down
the third photo is that you realize I'm not lying
laying them down left to right, that I seemed to
be doing almost an impromptu tarot spread.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's even more fun.
Speaker 9: So so I'm doing a horseshoe taro spread so the
like the the photos aren't arranged like just left to right.
They're kind of making a shape as I'm as I'm
forming them.
Speaker 7: I love that because that makes it worse for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and are you going are you going like left down? Well?
Are you doing down? Okay?
Speaker 9: The one in the middle, this third one will be
the middle one, and it's the tallest one on the
in the shape, which is the photo I took. It
was of Jim and Harry, but it was me trying
to find the source of the light leak. So yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 2: It was pulled up and you just did a random snap, right,
but you failed that.
Speaker 3: I did fail that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it just looks like you can maybe make
out the vague shape of Harry and Jim, but because
you're standing too far back with the polaroid, the flash
isn't going to reach them, so they're just distant shapes.
She don't really see the tails in that one.
Speaker 9: I place the fourth photo which is now descending from
the middle, which is the photo.
Speaker 8: Of lilith.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, you and you were to make sure
her amulet was there, that's right.
Speaker 9: And the portrait shot of Lilitha and the Lilith, Lilith
and the amulet.
Speaker 2: Yep. And it's just from what you can do, it
just seems to be Lilith and the emulet. There's nothing
weird going on here, Lilith. You see a photo of you,
you remember her taking that or him taking that? And
then next time.
Speaker 9: I placed the final photo, which is the one of
the two people sitting at the table, and I see, yeah, yeah,
and I saw I. I think I have my hands
on the edge of the photo still, but I'm now
looking at Lilith. I'm looking at to read the little reaction.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, And what is Lilith's reaction to see
in the hand Blanche?
Speaker 5: I don't say anything for a moment. My mouth is open.
And I turned to him and say, you took this here.
Speaker 9: Just now, maybe two minutes ago.
Speaker 5: Did you see them?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 5: A single tear falls down from her right eye and
I hastily wipe that away, and just that's I point
to the one in Aunt Ruth's chair and I say,
that's Aunt Ruth. I look around the room, look at
the seat where my mother would have been sitting, and
I wait, and I say, that's my mom. That's impossible.
Speaker 9: Sorry, I love.
Speaker 3: Why is that impossible?
Speaker 5: Wow? I don't know what world do you live in, Harry,
but the one I live in? This isn't Is this
normal to you?
Speaker 7: No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I
thought it in the specific your mother being there with
your aunt, that that was the impossibility that the seeing
this is wild to me too. Don't get me wrong, There.
Speaker 5: Is there any way that this is a trick.
Speaker 7: No, ma'am easier than was.
Speaker 5: I just tilt my head up. What do you want.
Speaker 4: The feeling that wasn't directed towards us? Was it?
Speaker 5: I just look at Jim kind of scowling, and what
are they doing here.
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 9: My best guess is they're trying to communicate with you.
Speaker 5: I jump at those sounds and my shoulders go even higher,
and I'm just okay, what do you want? Realis?
Speaker 2: Would you like to make a role for me?
Speaker 5: Please? Sure? Flat one hundred?
Speaker 2: Uh No, do a soul one for me? Nothing else happens.
I mean, you are hearing things being slammed around, falling.
If you look, you'll see books coming off the shelves
and things being knocked off the counter in and around you.
Speaker 9: What's your mother's name.
Speaker 5: Cynthia.
Speaker 9: I glanced at Harry, like, if you have something to say, but.
Speaker 7: Do you mind if I well one question for liveth
to let me know while I was pouring over the will,
was there anything that might have stuck out to me?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 5: Lilith has been honest about the will. I think it
would be you might be curious as to why seemingly
just everything went to Lilith, But it would be like
a two step question to ask her, like there really
wasn't anybody else us to leave this too. So I
don't think anything particularly stands out. Seems pretty straightforward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there may be something, because they would have a
list of surviving, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, be listed surviving relative normally and then to to blank.
This goes to blank or be listed surviving and then
so and so gets the state the same thing.
Speaker 2: Thank you. The only thing that you pick up on,
Harry is number of living survivors. It looks like something
was done and then scribbled and then just one was
put down.
Speaker 3: What was the number before that?
Speaker 2: It's scribbled out, So I don't know if you yeah,
but it was like something and then it was scribbled
out and then one was left. Yep.
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, that would be the thing that stands out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: You and don't mind me asking how did she pass.
Speaker 9: She had a heart attack, your mother did as well.
Speaker 5: My mother had. It was a car accident.
Speaker 4: Mmmm.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Yeah, that's how.
Speaker 7: We're dreading this up. And how how much time between
your aunt's and your your mother's passing.
Speaker 5: My mother's been gone for a decade, All right, just.
Speaker 7: Check she never.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Harry.
Speaker 7: I was just gonna say she never wore that amulet
or did she participate in anything with your aunt normally?
Speaker 5: I grabbed the ambulet and uh say, no, no, my mother.
I don't know if she believed, but she she wasn't
around here a lot.
Speaker 7: All right, Yeah, does go ahead. That's pretty much what
I was gonna ask. Enough.
Speaker 9: The question I do have is which is more for
the room at this point? I suppose, which is I'm
assuming in that car accident, that was not here, that wasn't.
Speaker 7: Anywhere near here.
Speaker 5: It was in town.
Speaker 3: It was in town.
Speaker 8: But she passed, presumably on the scene or at hospital.
Speaker 5: Right away, on the scene.
Speaker 9: So the two spirits that are here, that are your
kin by blood, they did not die in this place.
And yet they are bound here or drawn here in
some sense, which.
Speaker 5: Means they're either bound.
Speaker 9: They're either bound to you and that's why they're here,
or they're bound to something in this building or the
building itself.
Speaker 5: Ruth used to ask me to participate in the seances.
Is there anybody you want to talk to? She'd say,
like it was bait, you know, Like who else? Could
she mean?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 10: Then?
Speaker 5: I always said no?
Speaker 4: But was that the truth?
Speaker 7: Was it? What?
Speaker 5: The truth?
Speaker 4: Was it true that you didn't want to contact anyone?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind it saying good vibe.
Speaker 4: But you didn't believe in any of this? No, But
now we've given you enough evidence to think otherwise.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say, so.
Speaker 4: You want to give it a shot?
Speaker 5: Are you all going to be watching?
Speaker 3: You want us to? If you don't, we can lobby.
Speaker 7: I think leaving you alone is a poor idea, just
with what's been going on, but we could at least
be within.
Speaker 5: If it's not safe, don't don't don't leave you, that's fine,
we wouldn't.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna ask another unfortunate question, which it may I
feel might know the answer this will I did find something?
It's surviving relatives there was a number here and it
was crossed out, and then it put one, which I
assumed is you. When this will was written, there were
more people here possibly who would have gotten the estate,
essentially aside from your mother. Would there have been anyone else?
And did they passed too?
Speaker 5: Ruth had a daughter, but no one has seen her
in fifteen years.
Speaker 4: Fifteen years?
Speaker 7: Huh, Yeah, I'm gonna look and see when this will
was written. There's usually an original date that'll say times
me like on this day, blah blah blah, write this
my sound mind and that sort of thing. So I'm
curious when it was written. Just kind of figured out
maybe who passed since it was.
Speaker 5: Hmm, do you want to say pebe or do you
want me go for it? I would say Ruth wasn't
the type of person to tightly keep up with something
like this, So maybe seven ish years ago or so.
Speaker 7: Oh that's a weird confident. Okay, So, Lilith, if this
was written about seven now I'm looking here at the day,
it looks about seven years ago based on what you
said that you was. But if you were the only
surviving relative, why was this crossed out and pull one
which means there was someone else.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's possible there was something Ruth didn't tell
me about Meredith. No one has seen her. And the
answer is I don't. I don't know, all right, just.
Speaker 7: Just making a note and none. Not not calling you
out on that, But there is a discrepancy there. This
might mean that you had or have and they were
removed relative if in the last seven.
Speaker 5: Years, I mean they didn't get along.
Speaker 7: Sure, sure, Okay, that was mostly that the thing we
talked about upstairs. You mind if I bring it up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, I look around the room a
little bit thinking about the spirits, like, oh.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's that's in my mind too. So y'all
maybe put pieces together here upstairs. Remember the notes on
the god. I wanted to not say some of the
words that keep making ship fall over. Remember the words
that were said about the feelings of animosity from downstairs.
Recall I remember, Yeah, well, it looks like I'll avoid
certain words, but I'll let you draw tune too. There
was a reader state agent being talked to. That's what
I was trying to avoid. Yeah, well, I think that
might be your connection now that that seems to kind
of have a pretty direct thought process.
Speaker 4: I see, I'm building a theory here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, me too, not be the same theory, I think so.
So we got to figure out a way where, I mean, help,
There's an easy solution to this, Lilith, which you may
or may not want, which is tear that up.
Speaker 5: And give me it.
Speaker 10: Give me the papers, I hand it right over, I
shred them, tear them long way in half and sideways
and tear them and then.
Speaker 5: Awesome, is this what you want?
Speaker 4: Hell?
Speaker 7: Are your intention? Now?
Speaker 5: I won't sell if that's what you want. I didn't
think this was I didn't think any of this it
was possible. I just thought, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ruth.
And I take a seat at the seance table, head
in my hands, and I'm looking at the two seats
where they were sat. Uh, just scared, curious, an.
Speaker 7: Upset who that car had? I don't is that what
you want?
Speaker 5: I say to the air, is that it? I didn't know.
I'm sorry. I never asked.
Speaker 3: That's not fair on you. He never wanted this, right ye?
If they can had about you, they wouldn't want to force.
Speaker 4: This on you.
Speaker 3: I know she cared about me, and this can't be
it that shouldn't be it it.
Speaker 9: Maybe we should establish some more direct conversation.
Speaker 7: Right, Things like that can be a misunderstanding as well
or needing a chat, And there was no time for that.
Speaker 4: And now we know certainly who is well sitting at
the Sehance table, so we know exactly who to contact.
Speaker 3: This is true.
Speaker 7: Do we do we need anything that? Oh shit? There
were a few items that were purchased found the list
from from their eBay order. They're in packages still, but
one of them was indeed called the Generation Recipes. Yeah,
for a book for recipes.
Speaker 9: I tapped the photo of the book.
Speaker 7: This is wrong, that right there? Yeah, that was purchased
very recently, along with a few other items.
Speaker 4: Hmmm.
Speaker 3: I probably even going to say this, but I'd rather
speak to the spirits we know than the bit we don't.
Speaker 4: It's a bit dangerous. I mean, I got a running
theory about the book, but the book was only purchased recently.
Then the ambulant idea, and I mean it could still
hold water, but I don't know that might be true.
Speaker 7: The amulet has been around before Lilith was born. According
to photos upstairs, all the photos of her aunt have
that ambulant no one else does. But she has warned
in every single photo.
Speaker 5: Can I just ask, what what are the dangers here?
And I'm looking at the table, like you know, you say,
we know who's here, and I see I see the photo,
but like, what what do you mean something else? Like
what what's the danger?
Speaker 9: We don't know if you've never done something like this before.
Speaker 5: Oh oh that's great, that's great.
Speaker 3: Before I arrived here, I've spoken to you older.
Speaker 8: She's she's your chief.
Speaker 5: Shouldn't she be here for this?
Speaker 9: Probably? Yeah? But but regardless, you know it's right now.
Speaker 5: That's great, baby birds.
Speaker 3: Okay, But like I before, before I left, she said,
to make sure we know what we're talking to before
we talk to anything.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, what not even who? That's comforting?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 9: What's are in the equation?
Speaker 3: Potentially?
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm not fully convinced. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 7: It's why we're being so specific and making sure and
crossing our teas and dart in our eyes. We don't
want danger, so we're being extra careful.
Speaker 5: I see.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, we may not have any experience with seances, but
something tells me that you will have a strong connection
with your didn't mother? So what I recommend and I'm
no expert in this. Maybe try sitting in one of
the unoccupied seats and seeing if you can't commune.
Speaker 5: No, I do just said this.
Speaker 9: Does your aunt have like a like a seance one
on one book around here? You think?
Speaker 5: I mean, look, there's a book on fucking everything you
none of which I I mean, I guess could it?
Is it all real?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: There are books on how.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're finding out what is and is and there
there are definitely folklore tales and things that aren't. But
I'm gonna go looking at the books and see if
I can find like a seances for those who are
dumb there are for us. Yeah, that's what I was
looking for. Books.
Speaker 5: There's even equipment for that. There are plan shots there,
you name it. This shop has all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if it's just that easy, I'll grab kind of
setting yourself.
Speaker 2: Up before you really want sances for dummies, because that
is here for.
Speaker 7: Sure, absolutely all right.
Speaker 2: When you pull out, he pulls out seances for dummies.
Speaker 7: And other wonderful yelling bleading with.
Speaker 2: The dead and beyond or some Yeah.
Speaker 7: I get that, and yeah, I'm I'm flipping through real
quick to see what what items we might need. I'm
thinking like candles and things, but but looking for whatever's need.
Speaker 9: Candles in that bag you brought, right, there.
Speaker 5: Are candles in this shop, oh for sure, but we
brought our own.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we've got dumb branded candles.
Speaker 5: This is a metaphysical.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 7: That that bag of things. I don't think. I don't
know if you specified exactly what was all in and outside,
if it was just a bunch of stuff we might need.
Speaker 9: Oh, I did you have six bees wax candles, a
fountain pen, and the shoelace from a left shoe.
Speaker 7: That's what it was.
Speaker 4: Don't forget the rubber chicken.
Speaker 8: That's right, thank you, Maybe you should eat that in
the bag, said, I.
Speaker 7: Don't take notes so that I don't know why I
was thinking i'd have them.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Looking through this bag and I'm like, why is there
a a trickens?
Speaker 5: Why do you have.
Speaker 3: Put it out yet?
Speaker 7: Well, the candles here, so it says, yeah.
Speaker 2: They will have the the low the dumb logo kind
of that like triangle. They'll have that kind of.
Speaker 7: In there in the candle, candles.
Speaker 2: On the candle. Sorry, I thought.
Speaker 7: Really was for us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, No, here's the thing. I can't come in and
help you as to what might be in this book
because I know how it sounds is actually work in
this world. So why don't you tell me what you
think is in the Satan book?
Speaker 7: Oh? Yeah, no, I mean it's it's very much. I'm
thinking arranging the candles, not in the pentagram, because that'd
be probably a poor choice for things, but definitely circular
circles protection in my mind, at least in thinking. So
arranging the candles in a circle, Oh boy, the dimon lights,
if there's any sort of incense or something, especially a
favorite of the deceased, lighting that, or having an object
of the deceased there with you to make sure that
there's something they're drawn to or held to so you
don't grab something else.
Speaker 2: Pro he's just reading this out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm just kind of like I'm just reading reading there.
They get the candles, the dimon lights, the object, the
personal object of the deceased, If there's an incense of
some kind or a scent that they particularly liked, that's
usually a good thing as well, it says. It also
says that sometimes it depends and I hate that phrase
so very much.
Speaker 9: My eyes glaves over Lilith is you've never seen a
sound stone before in the shop, bright like you're aware
they have happened, but you've never actually witnessed one.
Speaker 5: They've never been to one.
Speaker 9: Your aunt never talked to you through the process, partocole.
Speaker 8: You weren't interested.
Speaker 9: She wouldn't have offered yet.
Speaker 7: No, Okay, yeah, there's It does say sometimes, which if
I remember right, she said, Chief also said don't mess
with these, But it says sometimes the Luigi board can
be helpful here. But I believe I was. I believe
we were.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 7: I mean, it does it does depend God, how was
she being here? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I feel like I
feel like a damage.
Speaker 9: Yeah I know, Yes, that.
Speaker 7: Was not impression yesterday. If you remember her today, I
don't know when, damn when anything is anymore. Regardless, it
does say that is something that can be helpful. But
since Gus you said they were even right here, I mean,
there's no point in having that. I guess. Also, all
just don't mess with them, so I don't want to mess.
Speaker 3: Well, my question, if we're not using the board, how
are they going to communicate over us?
Speaker 2: Talk?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean we heard Oh fuck I pull out
the spirit box. Yeah, the spirit box that we're communicating
with them before.
Speaker 9: Yeah, because my other ideas were so much worse. So
that's good.
Speaker 4: And I want to come a professionalism here. We can't
be swearing in front of her clients.
Speaker 7: It's just, you know, I do apologize for that. I
have lost some of my Southern men. Is uh. I'm
going to say Vegas did that to me, and I'm
going to move on from there. City sin it. I'm
now reading through this in spirit box is kind of
one of the listed items. I may have skipped over
a couple of times. I was more stuck on the
It depends on the spirit So I think that's probably
good enough. And that's what we got. At least, you
have an item of your aunt's outside of the ambulance
unless you think you can take it off of this.
Speaker 5: I'm not taking this off and that's fine.
Speaker 7: That's why I wanted to check. I wanted to see
if something changed.
Speaker 5: Opktairs and h. I look down at my my pinky
on my right hand. This ring was my mother's.
Speaker 7: We're not trying to talk to your mother, though, we
want to talk to your aunt.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3: I feel I felt, I think.
Speaker 7: We should probably all both.
Speaker 9: I mean, they were sitting side by side, unless unless
this is like a cold family reunion thing here where
they're like not getting along. I'm not I'm not clearing that.
But they seem to be sitting side by side.
Speaker 7: Okay, they were sitting side by side. And then yes,
that'd be the first item. Then for your mother, then
what what are your aunts? Do you think would be?
Speaker 4: Think the necklace around your neck would be? Oh, the book.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to say that book.
Speaker 4: Wait.
Speaker 9: Sorry, you're not going to say the book.
Speaker 5: No, I feel waiting for me to say that book.
Speaker 7: It seems like no, no, no, no, I'm legitimately wondering if
she had rings of her own or maybe a favorite hat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, she had way too many. Do you want
me to go get a ring? She had way too
many rings?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 7: Again, not alone, someone go with a go for it.
Speaker 5: For the sake of brevity. We march upstairs and I
grab a little aquamarine and gold ring and.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's way too very nice in my.
Speaker 5: Hands and bring it back down and put it on
my thumb.
Speaker 3: Very tasteful.
Speaker 5: It was one of her favorites.
Speaker 4: Oh, I do.
Speaker 3: So how do we start this, Harry.
Speaker 7: Let me say, okay, let's see here. So we need
to have the items laid out step one. Ah, well,
I hope this is a real thing and not one
of them. Yeah, for kids, and doesn't matter. We'll do
what we can. Metaphors. Metaphors, that's what all it says.
So if we believe it, it's definitely true. That's how
that works. Yeah, yep, word based on facts. So we're
I hate the phrase the dim the lights after we
put the items out in the center of the circle
of the What was that.
Speaker 5: I'll go ahead and do the lights. I know where
they're are.
Speaker 7: Oh, thank you. Yes, We'll put the objects in the
center of the circle of candles, and then we will
light them clockwise. It says clockwise here, not widow whatever
that is, which was wrong apparently on top of that,
but so clockwise, starting from where the one who wants
to speak with the deceased as the first candle, and
then from there you reach out with your spirit and
ask them.
Speaker 5: Reach out with my spirit.
Speaker 7: So whatever that means to you, reach out, ask them
if they're there, if they want to speak, and then
we go from there. And I turned the spirit box
on and put it like on the side of the
table outside of the circle of candles. Just ask yeah,
should we all sit down? Is there a room for
all of us? Yeah?
Speaker 2: The hold on. So there are a million different ways
to cast a spell or do some magic, but there
is actual mechanics to this. So I need to know
what you're doing and in what order and who's doing it,
and there is a right and a wrong way to
do things. And I'm so excited. I hope it's good
just for storytelling.
Speaker 7: Purposes of course. The clarification on the seance table though,
how many seats are the total seven?
Speaker 5: Ory?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I say eight?
Speaker 7: Okay, so if it's eight, that's perfect because we can
leave the two empty. There would be a there would
be one extra, nonetheless, but that's fine. That's perfect. Yeah,
instant perfect. I didn't say for us.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 7: To be clear, I'll.
Speaker 3: Take a seat right beside.
Speaker 2: If I think, Hi, where are you sitting?
Speaker 5: I would sit in the seat to the right of
where my mother was.
Speaker 2: Do you what are you feeling right now? Are you
nervous about this? Do you believe this is true? Is
there a part of you that believes it's still bullshit?
What's going on.
Speaker 5: I am on the other side now I this has
been enough. I believe that this is going on. I've
been suspecting it for weeks, that this wasn't bullshit, and
now I'm fully in it. I am terrified, but also
gently curious, my only curious.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna have everybody roll some sort of intuition,
and that will be a way that I guide you
before you make a horrible mistake. So if you fail,
I will now be guiding you. Unfortunately. Uh So, everybody
go ahead and roll whatever your magic statu is, whatever
your main status. So for some of you, that's mine.
I think in one of you that soul to you,
that soul. Yes, Jim shut the front fucking door, Jim
rolled a nineteen No, Lilith, No, you did not roll
in ninety nine. Oh no, okay from.
Speaker 9: One off of success there.
Speaker 3: Want to spend a burn three Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, if you want to burn, you can,
except for Lilith, because you cannot spend a burn to
roll on an omen.
Speaker 7: I was going to say, I have Yeah, I've got
a ah, that's what Okay, I do indeed have a
thing that I can I can reroll once per seen.
Oh nope, that's something else, my band. Yep, that's a
different thing.
Speaker 2: You can spend a burn though, if you want.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 3: Mhmm.
Speaker 7: What's interesting here is I don't need to spend a burn.
Speaker 2: Okay, which one do you have of that? Yes?
Speaker 7: Yes, so I got to I got two things of that.
There's the one that I can flip the the digits,
but then there's the other, which I lie.
Speaker 2: Thank you I wrote it for. You're going to play.
Speaker 7: You did coin flip once possession reroll a failed chick.
You must take the second result no matter what. Yeah,
Now would this give me the now? Would this give
me the extra shift because I'm now turning it into
a gamble, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh I love that, lawyer, and I'll take it. I'll
allow it, all.
Speaker 7: Right, all right? Do you just want me to do that?
So I might? I was like, I might actually have
a coin somewhere in my mind. I mean, I do
have a coin.
Speaker 2: A coin. I would like that. Oh, I'm absolutely okay
with that.
Speaker 7: The game is give me one second to step away
the results for things there if you need to first.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, all right, okay, So Lili th rolled in
ninety nine for spiritual guidance so that this doesn't go
horribly wrong, and only Jim succeeded so far, except for
maybe Harry, who's putting it all up to chance. Uh So,
I think.
Speaker 9: Does it spend a burn to reroll?
Speaker 2: Is that you spend a burn and then you reroll
unless you have an omen so doubles? Are you gonna
do that? Don't?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll spend I'll give a go for this one.
Speaker 2: Go for it. Oh my god, gus my, it's a
forty four for those listenings.
Speaker 9: Perfect, perfect, perfect, you know what, I'm actually happier because
that's more dramatically. That's more dramatically.
Speaker 2: That's fine, okay, all right, then this is gonna be
so fun. All right, Harry, would you do you?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 7: I got my coin, I'll flip it almost heads out,
heads out wind tails you lose.
Speaker 2: Sounds great, go ahead, make your roll.
Speaker 7: I'm playing that lies. I'll be honest here and that
is tails right, Yes, you caught that, and you know what.
I appreciate what you did there. I tried to use
my smooth talking apparently worked, yea, so okay.
Speaker 2: Ability he has, by the way, so no.
Speaker 7: In all honesty. It's it's those tails. Did you catch
the phrase I used that said heads I win tails?
Speaker 4: You mean I did?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I did. I did.
Speaker 7: I want to make sure I'm not trying to be.
Speaker 2: Here's interpreting this is I think that Harry thinks that
I mean, that's a hairy thing. Right, You're gonna win,
You're gonna be lucky. So I'm gonna tell you and
you don't get to know if I'm guiding you the
right way is the wrong way? It ain't that fun, Okay.
Speaker 8: I'm here for it, Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: So as we are approaching, so okay, I think somebody
went to go turn the lights off as Harry's reading
the book, and then you went to go turn the
lights off, and as you go to turn the lights off,
you feel like maybe that's not a good idea and
that you shouldn't do that and you should wait to
hear all the instructions first. Mm gus, where did you
did you say you were sitting somewhere.
Speaker 9: I'm probably waiting for the others. But the thing that
I I because we had that little kit bag of things, right,
m h, I take out I've got the fountain pen
and that's what I'm sort of like fidgeting. I'm fidgeting
with the fountain pen here and waiting to take a seat.
Probably I imagine further furthest from Lilith, so like across
across the table from her, without sitting in the occupied
seats according to the photo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, So as all of this is starting
to happen, Jim, you I don't know how to because
I know you believe in this stuff, But how do
I convey this to you in a way that isn't
more than instinct? Do you think it would be a feeling?
Is Jim the type of person that might feel like
you might just suddenly being like, well maybe we should
do this in order and then you follow that? Or
how would you get an instinct that you then follow?
Speaker 4: Jim kind of works off of intuition. Yeah, whatever is
gut feeling, you know, whatever is intuition says is you
know makes sense?
Speaker 2: Okay, Lilith sits last and opposite Ruth, and every step matters,
and every you have to go in order, and you
rolled in nineteen you succeeded. Everything comes at a cost,
So if you ain't willing to pay, then it's not
going to go well for you, and she's probably gonna
have to take that amulet off. I mean a ring
from her jewelry box. Okay, but this thing she wore
every day. She never took it off. She also very
specifically told her to never take it off. If you're
you could enrage her speak in or you could get
her to talk because she wore it every single day.
But that's going to be more powerful than say, random
rings from her jewelry box.
Speaker 4: I guess I'm giving these instructions, you know, I think
get to the amulet part. And so the last catch
I think, I don't know. I'm just got this feeling
that you are going to have to take that amulet off.
Speaker 5: Why would I do that?
Speaker 4: I look, it has an importance, it has significance, and
I feel this is the greatest connection that we have
with your aunt. And it just feels right. I don't
know why. I can't rationally explain it.
Speaker 7: I just.
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to trust me on this.
Speaker 5: You kind of see that I'm going to describe the
face journey here for those that are listening, there's basically
no way and then a kind of nodding, but still
no way, and then rounding out to fuck, are you
kidding me? Do I have to shit? Fine? Just exasperated,
like fine, And then I lifted off over my head
and set it down on the table. I'm still touching
the thread that it's like a waxed string that it
hangs around my neck on and I'm still touching that
kind of seems like I'm nervous to not be.
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to let go.
Speaker 5: I make eye contact with him and looks defiant for
a moment, but then I slide my hand back towards
my lap.
Speaker 4: All Right, I know its hard, Bud, gonna trust me
on this?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 5: What do what I do? I just think about them right.
Speaker 2: Her eyes have not left the amulet. She's talking.
Speaker 3: I think you just speak out loud, do you, Ruth?
Do you Cynthia?
Speaker 5: I think you can tell by my expression that I
feel ridiculous as I say, mom, Ruth, are you? Are
you here? I'm here.
Speaker 2: There's no immediate response. Here's this happens, and I need
to clarify the order in which things occurred. Everyone sat
down first? What happened first? Can you walk me through.
Speaker 7: The order I had given, whether or not it was correct,
and whether or not Jim intuition corrected it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jim did say that. He kind of said what
I ended up saying translating, So take that as you will.
But then I just need to know how you guys
did things in what order?
Speaker 7: Right? What I mean is the like the candles, the lights,
that sort of thing, that order as that was they're asking. Yeah,
so what I had said, whether or not Jim feels
it's right or not, I feel it is. And I
had mentioned the order was, uh, though everyone's sitting to
except for obviously someone has to dig the lights, but
dim and the lights is first, then me, you're taking
a seat. You'd put the circle of handles, you put
the objects inside the circle of candles before they're lit,
and then you light them starting going clockwise, starting at
the person who wishes to speak with the spirit.
Speaker 5: And to clarify, I went to dim the lights and
didn't dim them all the way because it sounded like
I had an intuitive moment of maybe this shouldn't be
full dark in here.
Speaker 7: Yeah, dimn not off. Yeah, that was this specification that
I have given as well. Now that's what I think
is perfectly right.
Speaker 2: Yep, you sure do okay in Gus roll of forty
four as well.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, the only success was Jim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only success was Jim. But I do think
he communicated some things to you. So, uh, I'm going
to assume you'll sit in day or sol order or
clockwise order as well, and lelith is life, right yep? Okay,
so everyone does that as we see it. The lights
are dim but not off, and then y'all are lighting
your candles? How are you lighting your candles? Are you
using a lighter? What's going on?
Speaker 5: I think there would be probably a special uh box
of matches here, you know, kind of like that long
matches where you come, yeah, something ceremonial looking.
Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, Uh, that'll work. Light your candles and then
you take the emulet off, put it in the center, right,
and then you speak.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 3: I think there's a ring of your mother as well
that you pin. Acceptime, that's right.
Speaker 2: You put a bunch of shit in the middle. And
then he said you're going to have to Okay, Lili,
if you're going to make a roll for me, you
can have a fifteen shift in.
Speaker 5: Your favor and to do that, I do that in
the drop down, right.
Speaker 2: So when you hit your your to do your soul
role and it'll pop right up and then you just
put fifteen in the in the thing that chops up.
Speaker 3: Perfect.
Speaker 2: Oh my Jesus.
Speaker 8: Okay, Oh that's damn lucky.
Speaker 2: It's incredibly lucky. You rolled four. Okay, I have to
send something to you.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm still keeping my eyes on that amulet and
just sort of looking pretty tense. Mm hmmm mmmm interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mainly I think requiring their aid, if that makes sense.
Speaker 11: M hm.
Speaker 2: Okay. So I had to send that super secret information
to Lilith here because we've got a four, but we
also have a ninety nine in their competing, So I
had to kind of explain, and I'm just gonna say,
nothing happens right away, and then Jim's candle will go out,
and then a Cotchee's candle will go out, and then
Harry's candle goes out, and then Gus, and then very
quickly Lilith's. And then the lights are off. You remember
dimming them, but there's no light here. Now as all
the candles are out, does anybody move or do anything
or say anything?
Speaker 3: I think just instinctively, I'll start reaching like a comfort objects.
My hand kind of brushes over the mask hanging from
my bow loop.
Speaker 2: You have to make another role for me, Yours will
be uh, this is the sole role for me. You
can have a fifteen shift.
Speaker 7: Okay, I'll be playing with my dies.
Speaker 2: Yep thirty four and Mark was thirty five. Unbelievable. What
do you think you? You feel something when you touch
this mask and it's more than just comfort. Do you
smell something? Maybe? What do you smell?
Speaker 3: Ooh? I do you think I smell something? But I
don't know if it's good. Yeah, I think I smell
fresh blood.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You guys are standing sitting there in the dark for
a couple of minutes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just listening to the spirit box that left arms
just in case nothing.
Speaker 2: You're just hearing a low static nothing else is happening.
Speaker 7: I want to call out to them live see if
there's a respam able to turn the candles back on.
Speaker 3: I saw that in the movie.
Speaker 5: Once I can try. H Mom that Ruth.
Speaker 2: Jim, you get the feeling she needs to do one
more time. Rule of threes.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think you should try a gun.
Speaker 5: Nothing's happening.
Speaker 4: Don't hold back this time. You gotta believe.
Speaker 5: Mom at Ruth.
Speaker 2: Something gets knocked over one of the candles. I think
breeze comes through here. The temperature drops, Lil if you
can hear her breathing start to increase, you can't really
see anything as you're sitting in the dark.
Speaker 5: You gotta get them out of here.
Speaker 4: Get who out of here?
Speaker 5: You gotta get there in the they're in the basement.
What it's not safe. If she's not.
Speaker 8: Safe, who's in the basement?
Speaker 5: Thanks?
Speaker 7: Thanks?
Speaker 5: Ession. Should should have brought them here, I shouldn't. They
can't stay. She's not safe.
Speaker 3: If she's Ruth my thigh.
Speaker 7: Have to go.
Speaker 5: At the bottom of the stairs. Get them, get them
out of here.
Speaker 2: Yes, at this a moment, Gus, for whatever reason, you
feel the urge to light one of the candles or
a light of match, just so you can see again. Uh.
And as you do that, you will see Lili's face.
It's ghostly white her her her eyes are completely white
as well as if rolled back into her head. She
has a little bit of blood coming from her ear
as she's sitting there, and it looks like she's communing
with something.
Speaker 5: Get him up.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm gonna say you either light a candle or
leave it lip. And that's because your bad, bad instinct
to do that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I like the I've got the match out in.
Speaker 7: Front of me, like.
Speaker 5: Lilas statue, the statue of the dog, get it out, okay,
statues the.
Speaker 2: Dogs start rattling a bunch of shit. Actually, so she'll say,
like statue of the dog, get the teacup, get the
and it's like the craziest thing, and she just won't stop.
It's very quick, and she's listing a bunch of things.
Speaker 7: Is it all the stuff that I saw in the order.
Speaker 5: The hand mirror rush.
Speaker 2: I'm sure some of videos. Get him out, teacup, for sure,
it comes up.
Speaker 5: Get him out?
Speaker 7: Okay, some of those are the objects that I was
telling you about with the eBay list. What about the book?
Speaker 5: And the earth isn't here, so you'd be she doesn't
mention the book, the teacup.
Speaker 7: Ye, get him out, get him out?
Speaker 3: Might we adding this safely? I think we get them
out of here, that's what know. I mean this.
Speaker 7: You have to break this connection, all right, Well, we'll
get him out, let her go. We'll get him out. Now,
she's not say father.
Speaker 2: She rolled in ninety nine I'm sorry. I don't think
this is letting go of her at the moment.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna stand up. I'm going to stand up from
the table immediately. And uh, is there any light in
the shop other than these flames at the moment, Just
just this one, this one match that you.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's right now, I did bring sage. Would my
success kind of give me that instinct to use it
in this instance?
Speaker 2: Uh, your success would tell you that it's a very
using It is a very specific. It's closed practice, which
means you have to be taught by someone that knows
how to use it properly to be able to use it.
And I think your instinct is that would work, but
you don't know how to do it, so the risk
is pretty high that you might not be able to
do it properly. But I think maybe older saying, like,
you know, doing things clockwise and then you go well
counterclockwise would undo it. Then maybe safely doing things in
exactly the same order but reverse would potentially float to
your mind as an option. There's more than one way
to do this, but I think that's.
Speaker 4: One who's sitting to the left of Lilith.
Speaker 2: It would be a Kotchie, I think.
Speaker 4: I think Jim would pull the stage out of his pocket.
I turn to a country. I don't know if this
is going to work, but this might be a chance
to snaper out of it. If we've done things counterclockwise,
doing it in the reverse something. I don't know if
this is correct, but we got to try here. I'm
gonna hand you this sage. See if you can't light
it with your candle, and then pass it clockwise past her,
and then I'll grab it and maybe that'll help.
Speaker 5: And you're still hearing the dog the teacup?
Speaker 7: Should two of us just go get those now while
you're doing this.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a really long list, Harry. It sounds
like she's listening the entire inventory.
Speaker 7: She just yeah, yeah, I'm well speaking the things that
I saw, the most recent ones that match with what's
being said. The teacup, the statue, it that.
Speaker 3: I don't know if anyone should beak gagged out from
the sea if we have to do everything in reverse,
it does not Does that mean getting up as well?
Speaker 9: You said that?
Speaker 7: Would you said that.
Speaker 9: Lilla is bleeding from the ear at the moment, right,
I think we just gotta I think we just gotta
make a choice. So I'm like taking one of the
matches over to help Jim light the sage.
Speaker 4: Yep, I've handed it over to a kachi and let's
let's pass it clockwise. Let's leave it there and then
I'll grab it and then we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3: Let's I think you mean anti clock chrise, he did
everything clockwise when we begin.
Speaker 9: Right, witers witter sins, and I'll.
Speaker 3: Stop passing that sage anti clockwise?
Speaker 2: Okay, will if will you make a roll for me? Please?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 2: M in bob permanently. I mean, okay, all right. I
should have known that you'd be okay with that, but
like I was like, well the roll, okay, would you
roll roll for me one more time?
Speaker 5: Oh? Sorry, did you say soul?
Speaker 2: Yes? Please? Okay, that is exactly what happens then, so
it'll switch now. So I think you see Lilith slumps
forward a little bit, almost as if she's like a
toddler that's falling asleep in a car seat. Okay, So
her head slumps forward, her shoulders go down, and then
after a second, vertebrae by vertebrae, her head lifts up.
She kind of looks around, and then she immediately flies
across the room as if she's been hit by something.
Her and her chair go tumbling across the room, and
then suddenly she is somehow hanging upside down in the chair,
and her arms are kind of like hanging.
Speaker 7: Okay, say put the safeway in reverse. Things in reverse,
let's go. Now that it's snuffing out. They'd be snuffing
out the candles, they'd be taking the stuff out of
the center. It would be putting the lights back up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, are we all doing that? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or because part of it was sitting down and Gossip
already stood up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll get the lights and I volt for the
light switch.
Speaker 2: You bolt for the light switch. You turn the lights
on again. Lilith is hanging suspended somehow, still in the
chair upside down, and her arms are dangling a little bit,
but it looks like her her hands are resting on
something that you can't see, almost as if they were
on the ground, but it's in the middle of the air.
Speaker 7: Okay, Uh, I'm making chim with me and I get
up and I've got the list of all the items.
Speaker 4: Great, and I will.
Speaker 3: I'll rush to uh Litlis. Then if everyone is going
for the items under her, she falls.
Speaker 7: Yeah, run to the stairs.
Speaker 2: You can make Mond roll for me a kachi.
Speaker 8: Okay, roll, Well, my dear, oh my god, that.
Speaker 3: Seems anything here that can help me here?
Speaker 8: Oh yes, physics, physics, I knowledge of gravity.
Speaker 2: Yep, well I get yeah, sure, yep, you can use that.
Speaker 3: I get five shift of the eighty failure.
Speaker 2: There's something weird about this, I mean, obviously, but I
mean there is something extra here that you're missing. You
might need somebody else to help you look, but there's
something odd here. Obviously she's hanging suspended from the air,
but there's something you're not seeing, and you can feel
that at least.
Speaker 9: I'm going to reach out and grab the amulant from
the center of the table, and I'm going to move
towards Lilis yep, with the intent of.
Speaker 2: As soon as you get close, you're not able to
step any further closer to her. It's like you've got
magnetism happening at the moment.
Speaker 9: Okay, Well, we'd like to help you, but you need
to let her go right now, like gently, preferably.
Speaker 3: Am I feeling that as well? So I haven't been
able to get closer the list.
Speaker 2: No, you got real close. It's just with the ambulance.
Speaker 3: Oh, yep, you can.
Speaker 2: Get nice and close. And it seems like there's ragged breathing.
I think if you stay there close you'll start to
see some cuts appearing on her face, a little bit
all in one on one side.
Speaker 3: It looks like hand it to me, hand it, hand over,
and I'm gonna.
Speaker 9: Reach out and try and hand the amulet to a kachi.
Speaker 2: Yep, you can make a strength roll as you try
to get it closer.
Speaker 8: Oh, my best, my best stat.
Speaker 9: A success.
Speaker 2: You've managed to hand it. You feel crazy resistance as
you're reaching out to a kachi, though, but you do
manage to get it into her hand.
Speaker 3: What do you try to bring it close to to
lilis around the neck?
Speaker 2: You're going to also need to roll strength, which I
know you have.
Speaker 3: That's a five shift.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, you are unable to do that. Yeah, what's
every else doing?
Speaker 3: I want to burn? I want to burn seer.
Speaker 2: In the meantime hair wait for that, but yeah, don't
forget to mark that burn yep. Run to the stairs
and what are you doing at the stairs.
Speaker 7: To open the door, and hopefully Jim yes, yep, and
hopefully Jim was following me, like I asked.
Speaker 4: I'll be right behind with the list of all the
items that she rattled off.
Speaker 7: Okay, and yep, I'm just kind of doing the safe
jog down the stairs, you know what that that one
where like it's kind of slightly like I'm running down
the stairs, but not enough that I'm going to trip
if I look away, kind of thing, extra cautious running.
Speaker 2: Down the stairs, and you two are going to try
to grab everything that she was lifting off in the
from the basement.
Speaker 7: At the very least what I might in my mind,
there are well, let's see one, two, three, there are
three very important things to grab, ye quilling e set
teacup that the fine shining teacup, and the statuette. It
was a bronze unicorn, not a dog, but it was
still a situation and they would still be in the
boxes delivered, So I look for those boxes, which would
be pretty close to the front. Like I asked, how
far she.
Speaker 2: Went, Do either of you want to roll to see
if you're tempted to get the.
Speaker 7: Book because I didn't need a roll for that one.
Speaker 2: You are tempted. You're grabbing the book.
Speaker 7: Oh I was going to grab the book. Yeah, absolutely,
because it's because it's one of I want to.
Speaker 2: Know though, if if you grab it first or Jim
grabs at first, because both of you kind of were
like will Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think Jim was tempted as much.
He's just like looking at the list and grabbing everything
that he's heard. He didn't hear the on that list.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, that's right, it's not okay, so Harry,
you're gonna grab it.
Speaker 7: But whereas the book was listed on that on that
eBay order, So yeah, it's a good excuse to grab it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well we will get back to that here in
a minute. Okay, back upstairs, you are trying to put
the emulet around Wilith and you cannot. You were starting
to see bruising I think, kind of bloom across her cheek. Boone.
Uh again, it's all on the left side. Yeah, it's
all on the left side of her face. It looks
like glass cuts on the left side as well.
Speaker 3: I I there's nothing I could else I can do
other than keep trying. Yep, that's all I got. She's
going to a right.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can roll one more time to try to
do this, embulet you are unable to put the amulet
on Lilith.
Speaker 9: I I'm gonna take a photo of Lilith this moment
with my camera. Wow, okay, okay, come on, show me something.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm actually I'm not gonna make you roll for this.
I'm gonna let your forty four come in here. Oh
good you and you're waiting. You take the photo and
then you wait there for a second. And I think
we've established that you know attension would make you shake
it even though we all know better. And I think
you will see something. I'm gonna just damn it to
you so you can go ahead and act it out.
Speaker 9: Oh ah, Cynthia, you need to let her go.
Speaker 7: No, please, no, my baby.
Speaker 9: H you want to end of us?
Speaker 5: That is you.
Speaker 9: No, and you gotta let her go. You don't have
to leave her, but you have to let go of her.
Speaker 5: Not again, my baby.
Speaker 3: Look, I know you miss her, but this is not
how you should reunite.
Speaker 5: She's not safe.
Speaker 3: Where from a danger?
Speaker 9: What are you protecting her from?
Speaker 5: I'll protect her from what everything?
Speaker 2: Oarchie? If you look, I think gus Head was shaking
a photo and then looked and then that reaction, and
it's probably still holding it down by his side. And
you will notice it is a car. It is a
car crash, and it looks like Cynthia is hanging upside
down in the car and the seat belt is holding
her in place, and you can see all the bruising
and the cuts and everything there, and Lilith, it's just suspended.
In this moment, I batter a spirit out.
Speaker 3: Do you banish a spe if I move towards whether
the belt would be do I feel or see anything?
Speaker 2: You won't. You won't see or feel anything really, but
if you push it, she does react as if she
is being held back by something.
Speaker 3: At this point, I don't know what else to try.
I'm going to go through the action the motions of
basically almost a car rescue on the train and get
them out of this car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, perfect, go ahead and make me a roll.
But it's not for this. It's for something else. So
I need soul.
Speaker 3: Place, okay, anything to help me here.
Speaker 2: No, at the moment, just it's for something else. So
just give me a straight roll in your in your soul.
Thirty Hey, that's not bad. Okay, that's not.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 2: You go sixteen Okay, oh boy, you feel something and
I'm gonna dm it to you because it's super secret
as you're doing this. So do you want to describe
what we see because you do manage to do this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I think you see a cutchy looking back
and forth between the photo in your hand, Gusts and Lilith.
So now they're realizing is Cynthia or Lith and Cynthia,
And they start going through the motions, initially kind of confused,
but then start to just reaffirm themselves as the go
through the emotions of reaching for where the belt buckle
would be, trying to undo it. But then I think
they go through emotions if they have a knife in
their hands start cutting away instead to release Lit from
the seat. And I think as they're struggling with this,
they almost look over their shoulder as if they feel
or sense a presence tugging at this belt as well
with them, and she I think just shakes their head,
unsure what to make of this, but any help is help.
So they take in and they'll yank this spectral belt
out from around Lilith they will I think almost as
if reaching forward the door in front of them, pull
away at something in front of them, is yanking away
at a door and or try to pull Lilis out
of this.
Speaker 2: As you start to act this out of coacha, you
are starting to feel things like the door handle and everything,
and you're here in the crunching of the glasses. You
begin to reenact this. As you're pulling her out. You
do manage to get this belt, this spectral belt that
you cannot see undone, and you pull her out through
the broken glass. You are going to get cuts on
your hands as you're doing this, in your arms as
you're pulling her through, But you do manage to get
her out. She's in your arms. What do you do
with her?
Speaker 3: I'm going to go through again. I want to go
through the basics I know, check first support, their heads,
check their breathing, basically, go through the obsolutely basics of
first aids that they know when it comes to this
kind of stuff. And just to make sure that at
the very least on the physical level, that it's okay.
Speaker 2: Lilas, go ahead and make a role for me, okay,
all right, soul, yeah, yes, please in the meantime, Harry,
I need your soul world as well.
Speaker 7: And shift for that.
Speaker 2: If that's a forty six, that is a failure, Harry.
Oh that's a good question. No, I don't think so
unless you have some rushit you.
Speaker 7: Want to leiyer well, because I don't know what. Yeah,
I'm not sure what would apply for that, because I
don't think i'd treat this as a gamble. All right,
go ahead, a third and nine.
Speaker 2: When you grab the book, nothing really happens. You're just
snatching up a book. You don't think anything of it.
You grab everything all together and you bring it all upstairs. Yeah,
and you see that Akachi has pulled out uh Lilith
slash Cynthia maybe uh. And they're on the floor. Akachi
has somehow acquired some cuts along their arm. Uh. And
Gus is saying things like you you know you can stay,
but you gotta let her go.
Speaker 7: What do you guys do now, I'm trying to open
the front door.
Speaker 4: I'll be right behind with the box full of.
Speaker 7: Them out and I point to the door and.
Speaker 4: It immediately just throw things. Okay, things ye out into
the street.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're throwing things out into the street and then
Gus and Akachi, what do you do here in this moment?
Speaker 3: Wrecking track? He's wrecking their brainfall? What toity next? A
car accident victim?
Speaker 2: I mean, if you'd like, we can say that acaus
she doesn't know this right. Didn't you say you had
first date?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, Cuffy definitely does yep.
Speaker 2: Keeping head still, making sure, you know, checking poles, making
sure she's breathing, and her breathing's on it unobstructed. So
you do all that, and she does seem to be
lying there, limp unmoving, but her heart is beating. What
do you do? What are you thinking? Gus?
Speaker 9: As I glanced between Lela's on the floor, and I
make the connection that Cynthia. You know, we've tried to
put the amulet on her. That's not worked. I look
at the ring, which was Cynthia's mark. I'm gonna grab that.
Does this impact me in any way when.
Speaker 2: You can touch it? No?
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, I I'm going to because the door is
open at the moment, yep, sure is. I'm going to
hail Mary and I'm gonna hurl the ring out in
the front door as well, just in some sense of like,
I don't know if this is going to assist in
breaking a connection, but like, this is the only thing
I can think of to doing this moment.
Speaker 2: Okay, as you throw this ring out the door, I
think you feel something maybe akin to like the numbness
that you get when your hand is waking up after
being asleep, or your leg. You feel that after you
throw this. But as far as Lilith, she doesn't make
a visible change. Everything that you guys could think of
grabbing you have grabbed and thrown out the door.
Speaker 7: Except for the book, except for it was not on
the list that she rattled off.
Speaker 2: Where did you put that.
Speaker 7: Them?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, oh sure, I'm going to try it.
I'm going to go for it. Metaphors and stuff. Oh that,
don't be upset with me. I'm going to try. I'm
going to place both hands on either side of Lilith's face,
and I think pulling on because this is this is
Cynthia the mother, this is a familiar love desire to protect.
So I think I'm gonna draw mine and I'm going
to pull out the ACE remote and as I I
think it's pressed the on button on it, and I'm
going to try, and I fully as I'm doing this.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, but I'm just
going through motions that I assume would work here and
the same way. An ac is U six spell old Air.
I like to e spell Cynthia from deal with right
now as I cast a spell.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, so much Okay, so uh Lilith that
thing that we talked about. If he succeeds, then that
doesn't happen. Okay, gotcha, all right, you go ahead and
make your roll. This is crazy. You can have it.
You can have a ten shift because you have two ingredients. Right,
you're doing the gesture of the hands and then you're
doing the yep.
Speaker 3: So see, I like button under acier money and place
it only chest.
Speaker 2: Okay. For each ingredient that you do, you get five,
so that's ten. So you could add one more technically
in this.
Speaker 3: Moment, could I use grief?
Speaker 2: I was gonna say that, but then I didn't want to.
You know, yes, you absolutely can yep. So that'll get
you a max fifteen shift on this.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: Okay, you want to burn before you want to burn?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Her, Oh we're fifty eight.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, no, I know what I'm going to do now.
I want to I'm gonna hold on to this what
I'm going to do it anyway, Okay. In the first case, yes,
that's what I always remembered, even unwittingly. I think a
catch remembers that one is owed to her as she
at the beginning of the game. At the being of
the last case, PB had us roll D one hundred
and IRO was an eleven, and that never came up.
I would like to catch in that eleven, that critical success.
Speaker 8: Hell, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 3: As I demand whatever forces to ope me right now,
they owe me.
Speaker 2: And I think again, you're going to feel some assistance here,
either a prisons or maybe someone or something is like
lifting Lilith up here as you're trying to do this,
and you know, you put both your hands on her face.
It doesn't You can feel it in your body that
something doesn't succeed right away the first time, and then
you just neo moment, no, this is gonna work. And
I love that you have used the metaphor of the
air conditioner expelling the cold air, so we will hear
kind of a breath. You will feel the cold air
as you cash in this eleven and Cynthia leaves Lilith's
body and Lilith, you have been rescued. The lights will
go on, flicker on, the radio turns on, and everything
just kind of chills the fuck out for a minute.
Speaker 3: Holy shit, left, Are you okay?
Speaker 7: What? Yes?
Speaker 3: God, I think your mom didn't want to let you go.
Speaker 5: She was here. Yeah, and Aunt Ruth too.
Speaker 7: Yep, are they gone?
Speaker 5: Are you gone?
Speaker 2: There's no response.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna do a thing that has caused
a response before. Ah, while it has been torn up.
Lilith was looking at selling this place at one point.
Speaker 2: Nothing happens.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 7: We also your aunt told us to toss all that out.
It's like, well, I'm strewn strewn about out on the
street with the door open. Told you it's through you
and through the Yeah that something of those was not
good and causing a problem here. I think all of
them very much, all very likely all of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she I told you she used to do a
ritual with the salt, and.
Speaker 7: And maybe maybe she passed before being able to do that.
Speaker 5: What does she did it monthly?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 7: And these came in after she passed, if you recall. Yeah,
so there's that might be why.
Speaker 4: And so you said that she did it monthly. Did
you ever do this ritual?
Speaker 5: No? I was here a few times when she did,
and I thought she was being ridiculous. M well she
was trying to make it seem more real, you know,
like there was real danger.
Speaker 4: Well, well here's your answer.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Now I wonder.
Speaker 5: Does this mean I have to believe in cat allergies now.
Speaker 7: Like cats being allergic to things, or being allergic to.
Speaker 5: Cats, people being allergic to cats.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you definitely need to.
Speaker 9: Allergies.
Speaker 4: What would give you that idea?
Speaker 5: Just like people were making it up?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: The cats?
Speaker 9: You get your head pretty hard on the way down.
Speaker 4: Huh ma'am. I'm sorry, but that just sounds So.
