WEBVTT 1 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.600 Until recently, bigfoot was just a fun subject that my 2 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.559 husband and I enjoyed together. We listened to podcasts about 3 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.719 the subject, not really knowing if Bigfoot was real or imagined. 4 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.280 It was intriguing to think of another life form undiscovered 5 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.119 and roaming the woods. The scenery is usually great in 6 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.439 these videos as well. Sometimes we would drive out to 7 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.479 the Bankhead National Forest on the weekend for peace and 8 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.000 quiet and our kids chatting, Oh there goes Mam and 9 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.960 dad again squatching. We talked about what it would be 10 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.280 like to see a bigfoot, but it was mostly a 11 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:55.439 lighthearted chit chat. At Christmas, we adopted a pitbull Terrier 12 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.240 named Bond. He is an obedient dog and well tempered 13 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.719 with my grand children. He almost never barks at anyone 14 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.359 but strangers. He is a faithful friend and he follows 15 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.920 me everywhere. We had had him for a couple of 16 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.280 months when he began to act strange. I take him 17 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.280 out one last time after dark and he would be 18 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.519 ready and excited to go, and then as soon as 19 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.200 the door would open, he would back up and dig 20 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.439 in and refuse to go outside since it's the last 21 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.480 time he'll go out before bed. When this happens. I 22 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.120 have to pull his sixty pound butt out the door. 23 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.879 One evening, I was taking him out around eight thirty pm. 24 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.680 He put up a fuss. The moment the door opened. 25 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.040 He tried running under the chairs on the porch, so 26 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.120 I took him out onto the driveway. Then he tried 27 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.239 to crawl under the vehicle. What's wrong with you? You 28 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.760 beg scaredy cat, I said. I pulled him down the 29 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.439 drive a few feet where there was nothing to tangle 30 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:59.280 himself in, and he sat on my feet. I continued 31 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.400 to fuss at him. I'm wondering what on earth had 32 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.719 gotten to him, and was trying to get him to 33 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.640 get on with his business. That's when the loudest growl 34 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.080 I ever heard, the deepest, longest howl, burst into the air. 35 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.080 It was so close the sound vibrated my chest. I 36 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.199 would have looked for the sores, but the dog, being 37 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.759 on a leash, dragged me down the sidewalk into the house. 38 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:28.000 I'm no delicate, frail little woman. Bond went straight to 39 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.840 the house and into his kennel, and my mind raised. 40 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.319 I checked the doors and windows. I checked on my 41 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.439 kids and they were still in the house. I began 42 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.719 to think about my daughter, who would come home from 43 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.319 work in a few minutes, so I sent her a 44 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.039 text and told her that i'd meet her in the driveway. 45 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.719 My husband worked second shift, so he would be coming 46 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.479 home later. I thought of the large kitchen picture window 47 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.800 not three feet off the ground on that side of 48 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.639 the house. There wasn't any curtains because it faces the 49 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:03.039 pasture and the woods. Later, when my husband got home, 50 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.800 I met him with a spotlight and I said, Bigfoot 51 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.560 isn't funny anymore. I haven't been able to identify the sound. 52 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.719 I have hunting experience, but I've never heard anything like this. 53 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.280 I started researching animal sounds, but I didn't find anything 54 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.599 remotely similar. The days went on, and I thought of 55 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.960 the nights the boys and I slept in the tents 56 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:28.080 on the hill in the back of the property when 57 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.919 they were younger, even with my girls once, and how 58 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.319 we walked back at two in the morning because they 59 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.680 kept saying someone was walking and throwing things at us. 60 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.840 At that time, my husband and I didn't take them seriously. 61 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.680 I remembered my grandmother, who used to own this property, 62 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.680 and it was so out of character for her to lie, 63 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.560 and even she would tell me to be in by 64 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.000 dark or the boogers would get me. I didn't take 65 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.360 her seriously either, until that night I heard one with 66 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.840 my own ears. I recall the strange behavior of the 67 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.240 deer on our property recently. Once three bucks and two 68 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.319 dos were trotting down the paved road with three cars 69 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.159 behind them. Only when the driver honked did they turn 70 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.560 it onto a gravel road that led to the barn 71 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.120 in the woods behind our house. My husband and I 72 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.800 have hit three deers since New Year's Eve. Instead of 73 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.959 crossing in front of us, they tried to run alongside 74 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.319 the cars. One ran into the back of my husband's 75 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.680 truck less than a week ago. It's as if they 76 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.920 think that by being closer to us they are safer, 77 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.680 like the vehicle as some sort of a shield. We're 78 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.680 surrounded by fields, woods and ponds and creeks, but we 79 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.639 are three miles from town and there's never been a 80 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.839 bear report in our county. We are at the front 81 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.759 of the foothills, and they say there are very few 82 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.519 bears in the Bankhead National Forest to the southwest. Now 83 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.879 we know people who say that there are some near 84 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.399 the southeast. But the sound I heard was not a 85 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.800 bear or a wild pig or any kind of cat. Well, 86 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.600 I didn't see anything. I know something big passes through. 87 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.720 I like to believe it only passes through and does 88 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.959 not stay here very long. From time to time, Bond 89 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.560 still refuses to go outside. I'm good with that. I 90 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.360 don't want to share my name. I live in a 91 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:32.920 small southern community. Bless their bless their hearts. If you 92 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.920 know what I mean, Yes, I know what you mean. 93 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.160 And the creepiest part of this story are the deer. 94 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.720 The behavior of the deer. That is so odd that 95 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.800 the deer would kind of cling close to vehicles to 96 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.639 maybe they, like you said, maybe they think they're safer. 97 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.439 I've never heard that before. That is really that's something new. 98 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.839 And a lot of these bigfoot stories, you know, I've 99 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.680 done hundreds even thousands of them, and that so many 100 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.279 of them are basically with a few variations, the same. 101 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.480 But I've never heard this before. This is a new one, 102 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.720 so it kind of peaued my interest again about this 103 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.759 dear behavior. I'd like to know if any of you 104 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.199 all have heard that, If you've heard about that comment below, 105 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.000 thank you to the writer and bless your heart for 106 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.120 sending the story. It was really good. Thank you, ma'am. Okay, 107 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.279 this is a ghost story that I think you all 108 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:34.120 will really be intrigued by and interested in and entertained, 109 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.240 which is the purpose of this channel is to entertain you. 110 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.639 In January of nineteen sixty eight, my family experienced a 111 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.639 strange event. What makes it interesting is that we were 112 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.279 spread out among three different locations between New England towns. 113 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.720 That evening, my father, my cousin and I were smelt fishing, 114 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.439 which involves sitting in a shack on a rose and 115 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.920 river and fishing through a hole in the ice. Across 116 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.879 town at Augusta General Hospital, my grandfather, who we call Pampy, 117 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.240 was lying in bed and enduring the final few hours 118 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.399 of his life. My mother and grandmother were there by 119 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.720 his side. My grandparents' house was in a little town 120 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.560 called Richmond. The house was a large, rambling, two story, 121 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.839 multi roomed home built in the style of the nineteen fifties. 122 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.600 My sister deb was sitting in the kitchen entertaining herself, 123 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:35.879 and the rest of the adults were in the living 124 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.959 room watching television. At around nine in the evening, my Pampy, 125 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.680 who was coming in and out of consciousness suddenly started 126 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.319 singing a beautiful gospel song about heaven. My mom and 127 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.040 my nanny said that they had never heard it before, 128 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.839 even though they had attended church all their lives. Minutes later, 129 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.319 Pampy had given up the ghost and was pronounced dead 130 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:05.360 by the doctors. At that same time, in my grandparents' house, 131 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.279 my sister said that she could hear a bird singing. 132 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.360 At first, it frightened her. She ran from the kitchen 133 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.279 too the living room where the adults were, and the 134 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:19.160 bird's song followed her. Every adult in the room heard 135 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.439 it remarkably. Even my great grandmother could hear it too, 136 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.439 even though she was quite deaf and could only hear 137 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.399 if you spoke very loudly. They listened in silence as 138 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:34.799 the bird's song passed into the second sitting room, and 139 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.600 from there the noise went upstairs and finally faded away. 140 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.799 To say they were mystified would be an understatement. At 141 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.480 that time, six miles away, as the crow flies, my dad, 142 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:52.200 my cousin, and I were in our shacks fishing for smelts. 143 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.200 My cousin walked from his shack over to my dad 144 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.240 and me to see if we were having any luck. 145 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.000 And when he went back to his shack, our life 146 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.440 started to brighten. We attributed it to just a gas 147 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.279 lanner needing air, But right then my cousin ran back 148 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.720 to us with a look of fear and confusion on 149 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.840 his face. He told us that when he went to 150 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.919 see us, he left his bucket of fish inside the shack, 151 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.039 and when he went back, the door was open and 152 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:24.600 the bucket was gone. We were the only ones fishing 153 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.600 on that river. To prove it, there were no footprints 154 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.799 in the snow other than our own. It wasn't until 155 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.879 later that we shared the experiences we had had with 156 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.159 one another and found out that they had occurred at 157 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:42.000 all the same time. It has been fifty years since 158 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.559 these events took place, and I'm glad I finally have 159 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.159 written them down. Though I still ponder on that night, 160 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.320 I have come to one possible answer. That answer is 161 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:57.320 one word, pampy. Oh, that's a good story. Maybe your 162 00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:01.279 grandfather was saying goodbye in a way, and God let 163 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:03.279 him just kind of move around and give you all 164 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.320 the sign that he was leaving. I thought this was 165 00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.679 a great story. I kind of I read this cold. 166 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.639 I thought it was going to be a scary ghost 167 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.559 story on the beginning. And I guess to some people 168 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.519 this could be scary, but to me, it was kind 169 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.559 of good. It was kind of a peaceful, how would 170 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.399 you call it, kind of a soft story. I like that. 171 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.159 I appreciate it. Thank you to the writer, and I'm 172 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.840 glad you wrote it down too, because now we all 173 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.519 got to enjoy something that you experienced that you'll remember 174 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.840 all your life. Thank you for that. All right, Bigfoot, Bigfoot, 175 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.320 everybody likes Bigfoot. It's a short one, but it's a 176 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.360 good one. I was raised outdoors in Arizona. In twenty eleven, 177 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.120 my dad and I went elk hunting near Alpine, Arizona. 178 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.120 We had been up there for a few days when 179 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.039 one night I was woke up by something heavy walking 180 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.000 by my tent on two feet right away my hand. 181 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.840 I went from my single action revolver, and as soon 182 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.639 as I had my fingers around if the thing stopped. 183 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.279 It must have heard me. And then right away I 184 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.919 felt like I was about to be attacked. Whatever it was, 185 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.679 it was like it was staring right at me through 186 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.639 the walls of the tent. Well. I let out a 187 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.000 slow breath and I heard it move toward the fire 188 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.320 pit in my dad's tent. As much as I wanted 189 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.360 to get up and see what was moving around, something 190 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.159 told me that that was a bad idea. I clutched 191 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.679 my revolver. I heard the ice chest open, and I 192 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.360 heard this thing rummage through the contents. I heard it 193 00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.919 close the lid, and then I listened to it leave 194 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.279 the way it came in the next morning, when my 195 00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.960 dad got up, he asked me what I was looking 196 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.279 for in the cooler last night. I wanted to tell 197 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.879 him that it wasn't me, that it was sasquatch, but 198 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.120 instead I laughed and I told him I thought it 199 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.120 was him making the noise. He looked through the ice 200 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.720 chest to see if anything had been taken and said 201 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.600 several sodas and candy bars were missing. Asked me if 202 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.720 I was sure it wasn't me, and I finally had 203 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.200 to tell him what I heard the night before. When 204 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.519 I was younger, I always had a feeling of being 205 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.039 watched in the woods, where the hair on my neck 206 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.159 would stand up. I would stop and look around for 207 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.879 a bear or a mountain lion or something. But I 208 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.399 never really put stock in bigfoot or aliens or any 209 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:29.360 other thing of that nature. But after that night in Alpine, 210 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.240 all that changed. Oh man, that was a good story. 211 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.879 Apparently the bigfoot didn't want to hurt you. He just 212 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.799 wanted a candy bar and a coke. That's what he wanted, 213 00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:42.399 and he was gone. So maybe that's a good lesson. 214 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.840 If you're camping, you know bigfoots are or in the area, 215 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.440 leave out a candy bar and a coke and they'll 216 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.120 just walk off in the woods. But I can imagine, seriously, 217 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.600 I can imagine this being a scary event. It's a 218 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.879 very good story, very concise. I appreciate the writer. Thank you, sir. 219 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:04.919 All Right, we'll end this up with a good ghost 220 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:09.240 story from Texas. This is a good one. In two 221 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.159 thousand and eight, I moved from Texas to Nashville. No, 222 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.240 it's a ghost in Nashville. Sorry about that. In two 223 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.559 thousand and eight, I moved from Texas to Nashville for work, 224 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.480 and I purchased an old craftsman home. For those who 225 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.799 don't know, East Nashville is in the process of gentrification. 226 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.759 Old houses that were left to the colect are now 227 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.440 being renovated. The neighborhood is so old, in fact, that 228 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.720 Frank and Jesse. James went into hiding there for a while. 229 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.799 At the time, I had two dogs, a Dalmatian and 230 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.440 a Wymaraner. I never knew how to say that word. 231 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:48.559 Why Whymaraner? We mariner? I don't know how to say it. 232 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.519 You know what dogs, the gray dogs with the short tails, 233 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.480 and they slept on the floor next to my bed. 234 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.879 I had been in the house a couple of weeks 235 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.919 when I awoke in the wee hours of the morning 236 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:03.240 to the smell of smoke. Once I got my wits 237 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.519 about me, I realized it was cigarette smoke. I was smelling. 238 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.960 Oh crap, I thought someone's in the house. The dogs 239 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.799 were sleeping peacefully, which meant no intruder, so I went 240 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:18.679 back to sleep. The next week, I was walking through 241 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.519 the house when I smelled cigar smoked. It was like 242 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.559 I had walked through a cloud of it. But upon 243 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:28.679 entering the next room, that smell was gone. Two weeks later, 244 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.879 I was chatting with a neighbor who had lived in 245 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:34.200 the same house on my street her whole life. I 246 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:36.799 asked her if anyone had ever died in my house. 247 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.279 Oh yeah, she said, mister b He died in the 248 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.039 bathtub back in the nineteen fifties. So I asked her 249 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:49.159 if he smoked. She said, yes, he smoked. He lit 250 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.480 the next one with his last one. Now I was 251 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.000 getting somewhere. I had a ghost with a name and 252 00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:59.679 the nasty habit of chain smoking. As it turned out, 253 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.799 he had some other annoying habits as well. He left 254 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.759 the back door while it'd open one night. As is 255 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.799 true in most neighborhoods that are in transition, safety can 256 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.440 be a street to street affair. This is the case 257 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:19.200 in East Nashville. Mister B would march around in the 258 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.120 attic at all hours, and I couldn't leave dishes in 259 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.879 the sink. If I did, I'd find a cup or 260 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:29.039 cooking utensil on the kitchen floor the next day. There 261 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.960 was one wall I couldn't hang art on. I'd hang 262 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.159 a picture and the next day it would be on 263 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.120 the floor. It was evident he lived in the attic. 264 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.480 Sometimes i'd hear old timey radio from the nineteen forties 265 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.840 coming from up there. That's where i'd hear him the 266 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:48.799 most of the time, though I would see the occasional 267 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:53.440 orb zooming around the corner downstairs. By this time I 268 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:57.000 had become used to it, and then one day both 269 00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.519 of my dogs were cowering in my bedroom and they 270 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:03.000 would not come out. That was the last straw for me. 271 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.559 I went up to the attic and I read him 272 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:09.399 the Riot Act. He could stomp around all he wanted, opening, 273 00:16:09.480 --> 00:16:12.840 close inside doors and cabinets, and he could play his music, 274 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.320 but he was to leave the front and back doors 275 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.879 closed and locked, and my dogs were not to be 276 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.240 messed with in any way. If you break those rules, 277 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.759 I do everything in my power to get him out 278 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:28.000 of the house. After that, we had a clean kitchen, 279 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:33.080 one bare wall, locked doors, and happy dogs. At one 280 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.840 point I had to have major surgery, which led to 281 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.960 a long recovery. My father was retired and bored, and 282 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.840 he traveled from Texas to Nashville to help me out. 283 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.120 He's left in the spare bedroom in the attic that 284 00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.559 also acted as my music room. One night, he was 285 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.279 shaking away and my dad told me he heard a 286 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.360 male voice tell him that he had to get out 287 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.440 right now. I had told my dad all about mister B, 288 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.679 and my dad said he told mister B to f off, 289 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:05.200 And the next thing my dad heard was one of 290 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:09.559 my guitars hitting the floor. I eventually had to move 291 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:13.079 back to Texas for family reasons, and in the years 292 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.759 I had lived in the Craftsman home, I tried to 293 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.799 bring it back to what it looked like when it 294 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.559 was built in nineteen thirty eight. The guy who bought 295 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.039 it told me that I had wasted my money because 296 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.440 he was going to gut it and then flip it. 297 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.839 What a jerk. As I was walking out the door 298 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.440 for the last time, I told mister B that if 299 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.000 he were so inclined, he should give that your card. 300 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.039 Oh that's great. After I moved, I stayed in contact 301 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.200 with my old neighbors. They told me that the activity 302 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.359 at the house would start and then stop after a week, 303 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.680 and then start and abruptly stop again. I imagine the 304 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.240 workmen witnessing a hammer go flying across the room, or 305 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.759 a lighter just falling over on its own. It was finished. 306 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.720 The house was on the market for six months. If 307 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.400 a flipped house isn't finished and sold in six weeks, 308 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.839 it costs the flipper money. If the TV programs are 309 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:15.200 to believed, I could just hear mister B slamming a door, 310 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.720 being a disembodied voice from another room saying get out 311 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:24.039 right now as prospective buyers toward the property. The jerk 312 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.599 lost his shirt on that one. Thank you so much 313 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.119 for the stories and you continued enthusiasm for bringing great 314 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.799 content to your listeners. You're welcome. Pay no attention to 315 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:39.240 the critics. Their words tell you more about themselves and 316 00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:43.279 how miserable they are than any flaws you may have. Well, 317 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.400 you know, I think I've I'm going to zero in 318 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:50.000 on that last paragraph. I think I've run off all 319 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.720 the nasty people, mainly the mean bigfoot people. I have 320 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:59.559 a smaller audience now, and I'm so happy about that. 321 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.960 What that means is less views, less subscribers, less money 322 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.519 that you two pays me. But I would rather. I 323 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.880 would rather it be that way and have just a beautiful, 324 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.480 nice set of people who enjoy these stories and we 325 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.359 can all interact, and I can think about you during 326 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.799 the day and think, oh, man, what a nice bunch 327 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:24.400 of people follow along with this channel. You know, people say, 328 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.960 don't pay attention to the comments and the meanness. That's 329 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.880 hard to do. I mean, I don't lose any sleep 330 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.799 over it, or I didn't when it used to be 331 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.359 that way. It does get under your skin. And you know, 332 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.000 I'd be a mister tough guy if I said, oh, 333 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.480 it doesn't bother me, but it does bother me. But 334 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.880 I would always bite back at most of them or 335 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:50.039 just ban them from commenting. With all that said, we 336 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.079 have whittled this audience down. We've weeded all those a 337 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:58.640 holes out and this is the absolute nicest bunch of people. 338 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.839 I've always said, y'all nicest audience on the Internet, and 339 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:07.119 I mean it, and now it's nothing but nice people. 340 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.960 You can tell if you read through the comment section, 341 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.119 you can tell it. People are so nice. They interact 342 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.160 with each other and they you know, I'm able to 343 00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:19.799 answer some of the comments, and it's just a good 344 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.680 place to be. I'm not a comment reader. Like when 345 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.920 I watch a YouTube video or Facebook video or whatever, 346 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.079 I never comment. I never comment one way or another. 347 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.640 I'm just there to watch. You know, with this channel, 348 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:36.799 there's only about five percent of the people that actually 349 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:39.759 view a video that will leave a comment. But I 350 00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:42.599 have a feeling that the people who don't comment are 351 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.079 just the same. They're just nice people who like to 352 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:47.440 listen to a good story every once in a while. 353 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.920 So I'll quit going on and on about that. But 354 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.039 this was a great, lighthearted story about a ghost and 355 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.279 a house in each Nashville, built in nineteen thirty eight 356 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:02.000 and the owner parent at least, still lives there. And 357 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.720 this guy's comment about trying to summon the ghosts to 358 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:09.240 run off the new owner, that was hysterical. But thank 359 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.920 you for that. I enjoyed this story. I really appreciate 360 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:16.200 the man sending it to me. Thank you, hey, thank 361 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:18.920 you all for listening to this podcast. I appreciate you. 362 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.759 I want to say one thing. I don't talk in 363 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.920 these videos anymore. I used to. In the first couple 364 00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:27.799 of three years I did this podcast, I talked to y'all, 365 00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.559 and I know some people like it and some people don't. 366 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.400 But the truth is, I just really don't have much 367 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:36.119 to say. I just like doing these stories. I like 368 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.720 reading them, wrapping them up, editing, editing them, and getting 369 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.519 them out to you all. But there is one thing 370 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:46.440 that has really got has made me angry for the 371 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:52.119 last ever since I opened the account. This account I 372 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.680 have with this spring company. It's where you buy T shirts. 373 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.519 It's not I don't think it's under my YouTube videos anymore, 374 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.960 because they are a horrible company. The quality of the 375 00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.680 T shirts is bad. They are overpriced, Their customer service 376 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:13.920 is horrible. I even ordered two hoodies for my brother 377 00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.559 in law three months ago. I still haven't gotten them. 378 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:22.480 Nobody's returning my call, nobody's returning my emails. I'm switching. 379 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.119 You all have asked why I don't have T shirts 380 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:29.319 for sale anymore. The reason is is because I tried 381 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.200 to get them. I can't figure out a way to 382 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.119 shut down the store. That's the truth. I have looked 383 00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:40.279 at every button on their website and I've discontinued every 384 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.359 ad I have. I've done everything I can to keep 385 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:48.480 it off the channel. So don't buy anything from Spring, 386 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:53.160 at least for my merchandise, because more than likely you're 387 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.000 gonna get ripped off. And I think the company is 388 00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.880 about half broke. Maybe a year and a half ago. 389 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.920 You used to could click, you know, I'd make twenty 390 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.240 thirty fifty sixty dollars a month off the commissions. If 391 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:08.960 you buy a T shirt, I get a little piece 392 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.880 of it. It got to where they were taking two 393 00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:14.599 to three months to pay me, and I could tell 394 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.319 something's wrong. And then all of a sudden when I 395 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:21.119 did start getting paid, and it still takes. I haven't 396 00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:25.359 gotten a payout in months, but the last few I got, 397 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:28.759 they were sent to me by another company and it 398 00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:32.200 took still took two or three months to get paid. 399 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.319 So anyway, I just wanted to say I'm sorry that 400 00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:37.759 that company did not live up to what I thought 401 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.559
