not oh i tried very hard i was in i opened it
at 11 30 because it said to do that and then
i waited until about 12 50 and then i got in
and i was like oh there's like a couple tickets
here and there and i was like okay i think i'm
just gonna like bite the bullet and buy these
two tickets and then i literally clicked on it
and all of a sudden they were like poof like
someone else had just stolen them right from
underneath me and i was like well and i scrolled
out and the whole map was white thing is gone
so i did not but i have a code for tomorrow okay
oh okay but it just depends am i a bad teacher
two days in a row uh yeah Put on a movie. For
Noah, I did today. Put on a movie. They were
in the middle of their work. And I was like,
could you not? Could you go? Could you? Yeah.
You're good. I'm sure it's fine. I'm sure it's
fine. Put on K -pop Demon Hunters. They'll be
fine. I know. I gotta. I gotta see Noah. You
do. I've seen him before. Yeah, I know. And he
was phenomenal. I cried. I probably will, too,
if I go. Yeah. I love him. And, well, to him,
we say. Welcome to Haunted By. Welcome to Haunted
By. Get me a ticket. get tickets to Jason Mraz
though. He did very randomly. I'm very excited
about that because we stopped paying attention
during the Super Bowl. That was a horrendous
game. It was a bummer. With the worst commercials.
They were all AI. They were like AI and then
it was like Mike Tyson telling us we had to be
on Ozempic. And I was like bro you still have
a tattoo on your face. I shan't be taking advice
on anything from Mike Tyson. The 90s one was
funny, but then I was like, it's too much. Which
one was the 90s one? With everyone from the 90s
sitcoms. Oh, that was the one good commercial.
That was kind of cute. That looked AI, though.
I'm not entirely convinced that they were actually
there for it. I think, I don't know if Jennifer
Aniston and Tom Brady definitely wasn't, but.
I don't know if they were there. They were in
like a separate room at least. But I think the
other guys were there. Yeah. But they had to
make like Matt LeBlanc look really young. He
looked so young. It was, I don't know. It was
good. I think that was the only good commercial.
Yeah. And then they had that random karaoke for
everybody Backstreet's Back. And it was for Coinbit
or something. I was like, what? And everyone
was like, what the heck? Like I'm watching. I'm
like, why are we just doing karaoke? I mean,
I did it. I was like, this is fun. I know. And
then I was like, wait. Who is this for? And then,
I mean, the Bad Bunny, the football game that
happened around the Bad Bunny concert. Around
the Bad Bunny concert. Football was terrible.
The Bad Bunny didn't understand. Well, no, I
understood like three words. Like at one point,
he goes, corazón. And I turned to Doug and I
said, that means heart. Yeah. Then he said, te
amo. And I was, means love you. So good. Yeah.
So I'm pretty. bilingual and I understood a lot
of it but I got really excited when I saw Pedro
Pascal oh my god him and Cardi B was there somebody
else Jessica Alba was there yeah yeah Ricky Martin
looks amazing Gaga looked fantastic that was
just a good it was such a cool set too I kept
being like this is wild like the whole like thing
yeah I loved it have you seen clips from the
truth social concert No. I'm not giving that
any breath. It's shown up on my TikTok because
Kid Rock can't lip sync with the song. The lyrics
are going. He wore some jorts and is dancing
all around the stage. I think there should be
an age limit for jorts. And I think it's 13.
That's a bad time to have water. You gotta be
careful when I start talking about jorts. I guess
so. Yeah. And I can't. He just kept like putting
the microphone down. But yet the music is still
going. And then he did an interview where he's
like, it was just a syncing issue. Don't worry.
I'm going to I'm going to do a second performance
in my living room and I'll post that. No, we're
good. And I was like, you gave that a lot of
attention. Me? Yeah. My TikTok was has been full
of Kid Rock. Because it's people making fun of
him. So it's not me looking him up. I know, I
know, I know. Anyway. Should we talk traitors?
I was going to say, before pop culture, talk
traitors. Fucking Natalie. Natalie? What is wrong
with this chick? What is wrong with her? She's
not even a traitor, and I hope they vote her
off. Oh, actually, I should start with my theories
out the window, but Rob's still... Doing it.
He's still kicking. And Candace, not Cassandra,
has now been removed. She's also an idiot. Yeah.
She played a really dumb game. She did. He's
playing a good game. I don't know what Eric's
going to do. I really don't. I don't know. In
theory, I would. Sorry. Oh, no, go ahead. I feel
like if he does accept it, he's going to be so
bad as a traitor. He's going to be so bad. So
bad. But you can't say no, because the whole
point of the show is either you want the money
or you want the exposure. He was like, I'll die
if I do that. I would kill myself before I did
that. I was like, I don't think so. I don't know.
I don't know. I'm already excited for the finale
or the reunion. Did you watch that? Yes, I watched
the one with Ron Funches. Because what did they
say to him? Are you looking for a lot of apologies?
He's like, no, no, I'm going to ruin them. He's
like, I learned who they are now. They are. I'm
going to cut them to the core. It's going to
be something. I think he's going to be really
nice to Rob. Maybe. I don't think I. I don't
think everybody was mean to him. I don't think
Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir are mean to anybody.
Those are your Mark and Kristen. Those are your
two that you're like. They're my two. Your side
characters. You love Mark. I mean, I love Mark
and Kristen. But I'm really just digging Tara
and Johnny in the background. And I feel like
every time they're not on set, they're just twirling.
Did you see them have that moment where they
ran around the corner and gave each other a hug
and stuff? And they're like, where are the shorty
in there? Yeah. Like, I don't think he's going
to have anything to say about the four of them,
but it's going to be for Dorinda. It's going
to be for Michael Rapaport. Oh, I forgot. Lisa,
Candace, Tiffany. It's going to be interesting.
Those are the big ones. How many more episodes
are there? I have no idea. Good. I hope there's
a million. Well. I'll watch it. I know. Till
I'm dead in the ground. Oh, I think Rob said
three more roundtables. Okay. Last episode. Okay.
so i i know i can't wait to the finale i can't
wait till ron just like craps all over them i
know what else i jumped the natalie gun did we
talk about it no go how she at what i forget
what happened at that round table but i she voted
for tara and everyone was voting for candace
wasn't that it yeah and i literally said out
loud i was like fuck off what are you doing i
didn't want you right away i texted you and i
said fucking natalie She's a buffoon. This makes
no sense. I'm going to get you, Tara. Does she
think that now people are going to be like, Tara's
a traitor? Okay. Yeah. Cool. So dumb. She mean
-girled her in a really weird, dumb way. Kind
of, yeah. And I hate everything Natalie wears,
if we're being real. I know. I know. Get her
off the show. Why is she still here? Get her
out of here. I don't know. We'll see what happens.
Cause now I think everyone is so like, I enjoy
everyone that's left. Yeah. So I'm like, I don't
know. I, and I think they all feel the same.
So I'm like, I don't know how they're going to
vote. Yeah. So we'll see. It's going to be great.
It's a great show. That's a great show. You want
to pop over to your pop culture? I do. Great.
Um, I need to talk about the reborn dolls. I
don't even know what that, you sure do. Because
our friend, Matt, you do. Okay. All right. Our
friend, Matt sends us that creepy woman. oh yes
oh yes okay yeah i do okay i you talk but i'm
gonna leave the room so as you talk talk to the
audience no thank you i'm sure it's all over
well it's all over my tiktok because dolls um
but they are actual like life like doll baby
dolls and they go up to toddler ages and maybe
even Older than that? Question mark? And there
are some people that I watch and I'm like, I
am so uncomfortable. And I want to say off the
gate, some people buy these, I think, for like
child loss and it's a way to comfort themselves.
That I have no problem with. if that is something
you need if a professional has told you yes that
this is the best way that is something that person
needs and that like yeah if a professional said
buy the doll whatever i that's you do that but
it's the people that like the woman he sends
us i'll get her handle in a second i and i said
to you too i was like she's buying baby formula
baby food diapers like what And what is she doing?
Like a day in the life? Yeah. She's like making
their lunches for school because she also has
the like toddler ones. And I'm like, she legitimately.
How does she start them again? Is it a day in
the life of a woman with a doll or a day in the
life of a lifelike doll? Is that what it is?
Hold on. Let me get her handle because I think
it's like a. because it's just it's very okay
so her handle is called the dolls aren't real
but i still can't get if she's being doing this
for like the the views and the shock of it all
or if it's actually genuine but there are other
people say maybe it's the same thing i don't
know i and i am like it's like a train wreck
i cannot stop watching it there was another woman
that i saw she had the toddlers in a two car
seats in the back of her seat and they're like
oh we're going to starbucks and then there was
like a clip of the kid in the car seat and it
she made it like say something like oh i want
a cake pop and i was like hey who said that because
this is too much imagine working at the starbucks
and she ordered it she yeah oh what are your
kids names and you look and you're like I don't
get paid enough for this. And then there's sometimes
when they have the babies and like the carriages
in the store and they're sleeping and the little
old ladies come over and they're like, oh, they're
so cute. And they're like, thank you so much.
And I'm like this. I can't. It's not real. I
can't. I don't know. I don't know if it's all
for the show. I don't understand what the show
is. Well, if it's like for the tick tock fame
or woman, I great. Sure, do your thing. I don't
know. I just can't believe that they spend all
this money. And, like, don't take formula from
people. Unless it's fake. Unless it's just, like,
a jar and it's, like, powder. And I don't know.
I don't think it's fake. I think they're buying
real formula. I've skeeved myself out. Yeah.
I think we need to move on. Well, I have a fun
pop culture. And I actually learned it recently
because so many people have been talking about
the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show. And I
learned that the Wayans brothers kind of changed
the face of the halftime show. So halftime shows
really used to be like kind of like more of a
production of like marching bands and a lot of
people singing and more of like a stadium -esque
show to just for the family and everything. And
then in 1992. The Waynes brothers decided, hey,
we're going to do a live episode of In Living
Color over on Fox. Okay. So you have to leave
CBS or NBC or whatever channel the Super Bowl
was on to go watch their show. And 22 million
followers, 22 million viewers. Back in the 90s.
Back in the 90s. Yeah, yeah. Watch the show.
Huh. And so the following year, the producers
of the Super Bowl went, okay, we get it. And
then Michael Jackson was the halftime show in
93. Oh, so they're like, you want to leave this
channel? Yep. Go ahead. Go ahead. Leave Michael.
And it's very funny because so today I watched
the Super Bowl halftime show from the 92. Oh,
okay. It is. The halftime show? The halftime.
What did I say? No, you just said that. Oh, yeah.
And it was like, it's 13 minutes long and it's
just kind of people running around and it's figure
skaters Dorothy Hamill and Brian Boitano, which
I always think of South Park with Brian Boitano
because they do a whole song of what would Brian
Boitano do. That's right. And they're like, welcome
to the winter wonderland. And so people are marching
all over and they're coming up in different formations.
And then they just keep going, winter wonderland.
And then like 11 minutes in, Gloria Estefan pops
in. 11 minutes in. Yeah. And then she sings,
get on your feet. Yeah. And then it ends. That's
really funny because of the Parks and Rec. Yeah.
She did it during an ice. Get on your feet. That's
awesome. But yeah, and then the following year
they were like, oh, we should step up our game
because people want to see something interesting.
Well, thanks, Wayans Brothers. Yeah. But also
more people should give them credit. Now we will.
Every day. I did not know. Every day I'm going
to wake up and go, thank you, Wayans Brothers.
You do that. I will. I like all of the Wayans.
Yeah. They're coming out with like a scary movie.
seven eight nine that would make sense yeah but
the wayans are finally involved again they haven't
been involved since the second one i didn't know
that you're welcome did you watch all of those
too no no because at one point one of the movies
they they have the ring and the ring terrified
the ring scared me so much that i can't even
watch a spoof of the ring wow yeah That one really
got to me. My sister's boyfriend back in the
day called my house after he knew I came home
from that and said seven days and I was like,
you're a dick. I went on a date to see that movie
in college and I didn't have a TV at the time
so the guy that I went with brought me and then
every time I tried to cover my eyes he would
like peel back my hands so I had to watch and
then And then when I got back to my room, he
called me and did the seven days. And then I
was like, okay. I was like, fuck you, Brian.
I'm going to a party. This will make me feel
better. And I did. I went to the party and I
was like, don't talk to me. Remember when I dragged
you out with two sailors to go see the number
23? Number 23 was a terrible movie. It was a
terrible night. It was a weird day. The whole
time I was like, I'm... such a good friend i
was gonna say you were such a good friend i am
gretchen wieners i'm so sorry about that that's
okay that's a funny story it was a funny story
don't watch the number 23 it's bad yeah and with
sailors that you pick up yeah anyway anyway take
me to your spooky story i'll do hold on let me
get it where'd it go there it is take it take
it all right we are going to north carolina and
we're going to the poplar hill house so there
is a fantastic story that this man who was uh
rented it wrote and the title of the story is
called we salted the nanny oh excuse me so it
says the the clip from the story. So it says
in September of 2014, Tom Maxwell moved with
his family into a large historic home in Hillsborough,
North Carolina. That seemed too good to be true.
Nine months later, they broke their lease, loaded
up the truck and ran away as fast as they could
from the spirits and apparitions that have tortured
them. Wow. So there's a lot of history. You're
rubbing off on me. So before we dive into the
ghost story of it all. I'm going to do the history.
Of North Carolina. Of the Poplar Hill House.
Yeah. Of North Carolina. Tell me about the state
of North Carolina. Buckle up, everyone. Excellent.
We're here for five hours. John has to go. Not
now. So the Poplar House is a big house in Hillsborough,
North Carolina. This land was originally where
the Okanisha tribe lived from 1670 to around
1722. They came here from Roanoke, Virginia to,
you know, be safe and live. But of course, because
people are the worst, they couldn't do that and
had to go back to Virginia. So then we get to
a man named James Hogg. He had a major role in
taking this land from the Native Americans. So
real solid dude. He was involved in the Treaty
of Sycamore Shoals. I haven't heard of that.
No, but it's probably an unfair treaty. It is.
If I know my U .S. history, and I do. It's unfair.
So yeah, it was basically a scam where a huge
amount of land were quote unquote purchased from
the Native Americans for next to nothing. Totally
fair. Totally legit. It's just wild. And there's
so many treaties like that. They're like, we're
purchasing this land, but really they're creating
a boundary that the Native Americans can't cross
and can't go on to. And then we're like, this
is our land. This is ours. Goodbye. Sorry. Sorry.
So James gets the land and he builds a popular
hill house. The house stays in the Hogg family
for nearly a century from 1794 all the way into
1891. So one day there's a big family gathering
at the house. Family friend William Hopper is
there hanging around, talking to the kids, having
a grand old time. And he notices two pistols
on display and thinks, you know what? You know
what would be fun right now? Guns. Oh. So he
decides to go take them down from their wall,
their wall display, and go tease the kids with
them. Oh, my God. He assumes they're unloaded
and thought no one was exactly sure why he was
doing this. I'm uncomfortable. Yeah. So, shocker,
the pistols are fully loaded and one goes off
shooting Mary, James Hogg's. 12 year old granddaughter
in the chest and killing her. Cause you play
with guns around kids. Assuming they're not even
playing guns around kids. That's playing a gun
at a kid. No one there's, I couldn't find a full
story of what exactly happened, but dude took
guns off the wall and was like, this is going
to be fine. Right. Yep. It wasn't. So not long
after that, the house is sold to Julian car.
and surprisingly not another great guy julian
was a confederate soldier and to paint a little
picture of who he was as a person he openly bragged
this is terrible openly bragged about whipping
an african african -american woman in front of
somewhat like a hundred soldiers so an absolute
piece of shit gross yep He also kept wearing
his Confederate uniform well into old age just
because he wanted to. He's definitely one of
those people who it's not the Civil War, it's
the War of Northern Aggression. And they're like,
states' rights. Okay, rights for what? Imagine
just constantly wearing that. Dick. I'm glad
he died. julian is also the one um whose wife
was named nanny so the house was named after
her the tom maxwell gave the house the nanny
name because this julian and nanny were the biggest
physical mark on the house because they remodeled
it turning it into a classic southern plantation
home because of course they did so julian actually
kind of sad i didn't get to do this story though
Because this is fascinating and terrible. Buckle
up. And I love when they're fascinating and terrible.
I gave myself goosebumps just rereading this
today. So Julian dies in 1924, but not before
a tornado comes through and absolutely destroys
the farm and the surrounding land. And after
that, the family is scrambling, trying to sell
the property, possibly break up the house, turning
it into parts, making it some private residences.
They're not really sure. So the house itself
stays intact, but times have changed. So people
aren't living like they used to. So instead of
occupying this massive home as like a unit, families
would end up living there in just one or two
rooms at a time. And all I could picture was
the common house and from, from, from the TV
show. Cause I'm like, everyone's just kind of
living in every room. Oh my God. I cannot wait
for from to come back. Excuse me. Sorry. My voice
has been going in and out all day. That's okay.
While you sip your water, I'll say. From is the
best show that's ever existed on TV. It's coming
back. I know. I couldn't be more excited. All
right. In 18... Why do I keep saying 18? No one
knows. It is not. In 1980, a guy named James
Freeland bought Poplar Hill, but he moved the
house across the river. So he took this whole
house, put it on a truck, and was going to bring
it down the river, down the street there. That's
like some Oregon Trail stuff. Yeah. Like you
died forging the river. Yeah. So house disturbances
will really shake up ghosts, you know? Yeah.
They don't like painting over things. So let's
move the whole house. So what his plan was for
moving the house was to turn it into the Okanesian
Steakhouse. Yes, named after the tribe that was
driven out of the very land. So, so, so, so fun,
so kind. So they broke the house up into pieces.
So it's not like a full house. Broke the house
up into pieces on the truck. Ready to be a steakhouse.
But the people of the town voted and were like,
and the people of the town were like, no, we
don't really want a steakhouse. So the house
did move land, but it was not turned into a steakhouse.
So it remained a house. So the new land that
the house was put on was right near a cemetery.
Now, what do you think that means? They uncovered
bodies and moved them from the ground. No. So
now we've disturbed a grave site. Don't remove
inner person. So that is the background of the
house. Oh, my God. There couldn't be more of
a negative history attached to this house if
they tried. So here we go. now we get to tom
and his family moving in so tom brooke i did
change the daughter's name okay this they left
this house in 2015 oh my god so this is recent
so i personally was like i'm gonna change your
name okay so tom brooke and their daughter eve
had originally moved into the home into a home
in chapel hill north carolina okay But three
weeks in, they were experiencing headaches and
not feeling well. Yeah. So they went on vacation
and realized they feel a lot better. Turns out
that house had a lot of mold. So they packed
up to leave and crashed at a friend's house.
Tom came upon this huge house, the Poplar House,
priced fairly cheap. That's your first red flag.
Yep. First red flag. The photos of the house
weren't great, so they went to check it out in
person. And they were overwhelmed by the land
it was on. It was near a river. The house was
huge. Yeah. So they took it and moved in September
3rd, 2014. Wow. Okay. In October, Brooke's mom
came to stay. One night, Brooke's mother heard
knocking on the wall separating the two bedrooms.
The knocks came in slowly and in threes and were
left unanswered. A few days after, Brooke and
her mom went on a walk, and when they were coming
up on the house, they paused, and Brooke noticed
from the corner of her eye a figure standing
under one of the property's trees. When she turned
her head, she saw a woman standing there staring
at them. The woman had a hand against the tree.
She wore a white bonnet, a white smock, and a
long brown dress. Brooke looked at the woman
for a moment, and then the woman was gone. the
day like you said in another story when they
look back at you there's something terrifying
about that like don't i have no need for eye
contact thank you very much that's yeah that
freaks me out so the day after halloween brooke
was on the front porch in the morning letting
out the dog when she heard a voice calling her
name from the trees a few yards away she answered
it the first call because she was still wearing
her halloween costume from the night before and
uh girl i guess hey partied hard must have been
comfy so she was like embarrassed so she was
like yeah uh they called her again and it sounded
closer this time and in the story tom wrote the
female voice was tentative its pitch was neither
high or low but a combination of both a single
voice spoken in octaves oh so okay I just, I
think that's like echoey and like vibey and not
one like single thing. Just not one tone. It
was like, okay. Yep. In the weeks to come, Brooke
and Eve often saw the woman in the white bonnet.
She would walk from the side of the house to
the front porch like it was her daily routine.
Tom said everything they saw outside would move
in repetition. So Tom and Brooke at separate
times also saw a man in buckskin walk quickly
to the back of their shed. She also saw a man
in a gray jumpsuit mount invisible stairs and
walk into the sky. Stairway to heaven? I'd be
like, I need a nap. Because what the hell? So
things outside the house that didn't quite look
so human would move around the perimeter. counterclockwise
oh okay this one one night in November Brooke
was on the porch again taking out the dog Brooke
felt a tug on the leash that pulled Brooke to
the side of the porch where the dark tree line
was out of the dark a tan figure advanced it
had bowed legs no head what It shimmied towards
Brooke in a crouching position. No. Whipping
its long, thin arms like tentacles. No, ma 'am.
And then receded back into the trees. Nope. So
it like came out and then it was like. Went back.
I don't like it. So Brooke said to Tom, if it
weren't so terrifying, it would have been funny.
It was dancing as if to get my attention. It
was like, follow me. nope just kidding bye tom
said these figures were like want to hear a joke
you gotta come actually never mind i hate dogs
see you later uh tom said these figures were
aggressive but not uh i can never say that word
malicious thank you you're welcome they're like
maleficent maleficent i love her uh their purpose
seems twofold to make us know that they were
there And that we could do nothing about it.
See, that's even scarier. I know. It's one thing
to do stuff in like knockover chairs or whatever.
They're just being like, hello. Here we are.
It's like from. It is like from. Well, no, they
do. They do come out. They kill people. Yeah,
yeah, I know. Yeah. Carl, that kills people.
Sorry, that's an internet video from forever
ago. In the winter, the hauntings were picking
up. A mist would form and come up from the floorboards.
They said it looked like water vapors coming
and going about as they pleased. That's just
somebody smoking pot in their basement. Eve's
like, I have no idea why that's happening. That
is crazy. The whole family would see to what
appeared to be car headlights pulling into the
driveway, but no one was ever there. Brooke and
Eve would hear their names being called constantly.
calling them out by name and asking them, come
here. If they were upstairs, it would come from
downstairs. And then if they were down, it would
come from up. Occasionally men's voices could
be heard downstairs speaking in hushed, excited
tones, but they would stop as soon as at least
someone reached the bottom of the stairs. So
Tom said, we shared our growing feeling that
we were meant like they were trying to split
us up from one another. And like something was
trying to keep us isolated from each other. Hushed
excited don'ts. That scares me because it's like
they're like planning something. And then when
you get there, it's like. But if you went there
with like if you and I went to check it out,
they'd be like, no. I hate this one. Just don't
tell me. I hate it. Don't tell me. I'm going
to go. I'm going to go like really hate it. I
already have chills. OK. An elongated man appeared
downstairs, almost two dimensional, like flat.
He would. He would peep at you from around the
corners. No. Or through doorways and just inside
your peripheral vision. And when you looked at
him, he would flash a toothy smile. No. Flatten
into the wall. No. And vanish. I hate it. I really
hate him. I hated that. Really. I would be like,
you know what? I'm good. We're out of here. Okay.
Not living with that thing. You guys can't leave
tonight after this story. You both have to stay
over here. I have a spare room for both of you.
Thanks. One night when the family was in the
living room, Eve saw a tall, gray -haired lady
peering at them. She was admiring them, though,
from the kitchen doorway. So she came over. As
I said, her hair was gray. It was about shoulder
length. She was incredibly tall. Her head was
at the top of the doorway, which was over six
feet. Eve said, I didn't see clothes or a body,
only a head peeking around the corner. Oh, another
night. Eve was having a sleepover and didn't
tell the friend. About the hauntings. I would
never, I would never talk to that person again.
You would never after this too. I would, if you
said have a sleepover and you didn't tell me
about, this isn't just like one or two things.
My house is fucking haunted. Yeah, this is like
a lot of activity. There's a weird octopus like
creature that comes in and out and oh my, oh,
friendship over. And you know what? I'd turn
everybody else in school around. I'd be like,
don't go to her house. I'd be like, Eve took
me to her haunted house. Are you ready to hear
what happened to her friend? No! So her friend
got a real treat when she woke up to see a female
figure standing over her, fully bent over looking
at her. It's like a hail house. A lot of this
is reminding me of the haunting of the hail house.
Me too. Like the two -dimensional guy is like
that really tall creepy guy with the hat when
he like bends over. love that show so much though
it's so good genuinely uh the same woman was
seen by brooke from inside the bathroom like
via the mirror so she brooke would be in the
bathroom look in the mirror and see the woman
in the hallway i've told you that like when i
go to the bathroom at night i don't look in the
mirror no the lights do not go on no no don't
look lights don't go on and i don't look in the
mirror because there's nothing for me in there
no at night and my eyes are closed i'll figure
it out in the morning yeah my eyes are closed
yeah no lights um Brooke was also starting to
get scratches down her back as she showered.
They came home one night and their bathroom was
completely destroyed. Cabinets ripped open, crap
everywhere. It was just bizarre. So finally,
after nine long months, by July of 2015, they
were exhausted and completely defeated. Luckily,
the landlord agreed to let them out of their
lease. Wonder why. As they were packing up their
belongings, they caught sight of a black shadow
slipping in between the boxes. You can't come
with us. So here's what they did. They decided
that they would salt the house before they left.
So if anyone doesn't know, salting is like a
protection, banishing of negative energy and
all that stuff. This gives me chills too. They
all stood in the mudroom, poured salt into each
of their hands, and they left the house one by
one. So they walked out of the house one final
time, throwing salt behind them. Once everyone
was outside, they all took big containers of
salts, each and they all went around the house
clockwise as opposed to what the ghosts and the
creatures were doing right uh they salted the
outside of the house including doors and windows
but it wasn't like a divide and conquer thing
they every single one of them went around the
house to make sure they're all the holes were
filled with salt they were not having anything
follow them So before Brooke and Eve got into
the truck to leave for good, they took one last
look at the house, and in one of the windows,
they saw what looked like a person moving around
the window, like it was angry and trapped. They
all got in the truck and never returned to Poplar
Hill again. The end. I hated that. That was too
scary. I didn't like that. I did not care for
that story. Well, it happened. You heard it.
I know. Although I'll tell you the funny thing
I kept wanting to say when you were talking about
that last part. It's from It's Always Sunny.
No one ever wants to salt gale the snail. Yeah.
Just think of that tonight. Yeah. Every time
I think about anything, I'm going to salt gale
the snail. Yeah. Oh, that was wild. And too many
creepy things. So good. Because like so many
of these houses you hear doors open. Things came
off shelves, but these were very specific. And
so fucking spooky. Like, so spooky. And the fact
that, like, all of them, like, were routine in
their movements. Yeah. It's just like, there's
some trapped souls in this land. Because horrible
things happen. I know. And they also got moved.
Some of them probably went with the house when
they moved. And then whatever bones were there.
They got dug up bones. chaos crazy people walking
up to the sky i'm not like i have the chills
so bad it's uh it was i yeah i really enjoyed
that one actually yeah that's the spooky one
would you like to move on now yeah i do i want
to move on so we'll talk about movie deaths um
so i think i've told you I've definitely told
you. I've been watching a lot of classic movies
that I haven't seen before. Yes. So some of them
are like A Few Good Men. I've never seen Footloose,
which was great. No, no, no. Flashdance. I was
like Footloose. No, Flashdance I haven't seen.
So my death that I want to talk about is one
of my more recent ones I've seen, which is from
Fatal Attraction. Oh, okay. Fatal Attraction
is honestly wild. It's wild. So it's all about
Michael Douglas as Dan. He is a family man. He
has one kid. He lives in the city with his wife.
He does some kind of big, I don't know, he works
for a firm or something. You know those 80s movies
where they're all working at the firm? They're
always like, give me the copyright on that. And
you're like, it's very possible that you do know
what he does. But I was drinking wine while I
was watching it. And I was like, can't believe
I've never seen this. And then he meets Glenn
Close, who's played by Alec. Hello. Nope. Flip
it. He meets Alex, who's, see, I'm haunted by
your story. Good. It just creeped me out. That's
why we're called Haunted By. Haunted By. Like
and subscribe. Follow us. Haunted By Pod. And
all the social sites. Check your spot. You can
do it again. How dare you? He meets Alex, played
by Glenn Close. They have an instant attraction,
but then his wife goes away for a weekend with
the daughter, Ellen, who's a very weird, annoying
little kid. She is. She is so annoying. Yeah,
that's true. Sometimes I watch these movies and
I'm like, just cut out the kid. Or like, find
a kid. They need to be married with a kid. But
make it less annoying. Go away. Go away, Ellen.
So anyway, so wife goes away. He's supposed to
meet her at one point because they want to buy
this house in the country. But instead, he has
a torrid love affair with Alex. Sure does. Now,
let me tell you one thing about how I feel about
Dan in this movie and why he's an asshole. He's
not an asshole because of the affair and whatever
he does and everything. He's such a shitty dog
owner and it makes me furious. Please elaborate.
His wife goes away and she leaves the dog. I
don't know why she leaves the dog. They're going
away. Well, she doesn't think it's going to be
having a torrid affair and being out all hours
of the night. They're going away to the country
to see her parents. So she's a shitty dog owner
too. They're all shitty to this dog. And then
they allow Bunny to get murdered, but that's
later on. It's like a big deal in that movie.
She goes, don't forget to take the dog out. What
kind of a dick forgets to take their dog out?
So at one point, he's at work on a Friday. Alex
meets... meets him they have this torrid affair
they go back to her house the dog doesn't go
out all night right right and then the next day
she's like what are we gonna do today and he's
like and in my mind i'm like surely he has found
someone to walk this dog no no he's like I got
to go home and walk the dog. She's like, oh,
let's go hang out and we'll play with the dog
later. And you're like, you jerk. He comes in.
The dog is lying in front of the door. Is anyone
coming home? If this was me, I would take the
dog out immediately. He showers and has some
food and then goes to the dog and goes, ready
to go out? He's like, I've been ready for 24
hours. What a bastard. That's true. Horrible.
So anyway. Horrible person. I don't care what
he did. He's terrible to that dog. Anyway, so
then he hangs out with Alex all weekend and then
she's like, oh, I think we're going to be together.
And he's like, I got to go back to my wife and
family. So their last night together, she slits
her wrist. She does. And he doesn't take her
to the hospital. I'm not going to be ignored.
Yeah. That's that movie, right? But it's later
on. He wraps up her wrists and then they just
like go to sleep there. He's like, I have to
take the dog out, I think. Ma 'am. No, the dog
is there in her apartment. They've at least brought
the dog there. He's learned. But I don't know
how you don't go to the hospital. So anyway,
then the wife and kids come back and she's like,
how was your weekend? And he's like, nothing
big happened here. And so then Alex continues.
She keeps trying to call him and call him and
call him. And then he does confront her at one
point. And she's like, I won't be ignored, Dan.
Dan. And then the wife, of course, finds out
about the affair. She leaves him. But then they
decide they're going to work it out and they
buy this home in the country. And then Alex follows
him home from his office in the city. And he's
downstairs and he's letting his wife take this
lovely bath. And before she can even get in the
bath, Alex is in the bathroom and they are fighting
and fighting. And Dan just downstairs. He can't
hear a thing. Not a thing. It's like a staircase.
He's like cooking something and he can't hear
anything upstairs. But then water starts pouring
and he's like, oh, my God. So then he comes up
and first he drowns Alex. And then you're like,
it's all over. But then she gets up and screams.
And then he shoots her. No, the wife shoots her.
The wife shoots her three times. And then she
falls in and dies. That is a wild movie. It is
a wild movie. It's a crazy movie. I can't believe
you've never seen that. I know. I mean, there's
a lot of movies on my list that I can't believe
I haven't seen. You're doing good. You're crushing
that list. Thank you. This has nothing to do
with anything right now. But did you like The
Graduate? is this another time conversation we

So the three of them are out. And the daughter
starts crying about the dog. And you can hear
the dog barking. Oh, no. And he's like, ugh.

And he keeps looking at her. And she's sobbing.
And he's like, this is my daughter. This is my
girl. So I'm going to go get the dog. So he runs
back in the house. And now there's just flames
coming out of him. Because now they're all freaking

oh, my god. He died. And he comes out the hero
with the dog in his hands. They get the ambulances

room she calls the kids she goes and grabs the
snickers bar and while she's on the phone with
the kids there's like a code whatever like people

on them. And that's when he has a heart attack.
Oh, so the kids never came to the hospital. No,
it's just her and Jack. Oh, because I was like,
why is the doctor saying this? No, sorry. So
the kids were sent to the friend's house. So
they would just go and like. make sure he was
cool and then they were gonna go pick him up
okay so then she gets into the room and through
the door window you can see him lying on the
bed like dead and she just breaks down and it's
just such an emotionally sad scene and um yeah
and i didn't really i forgot that it was super
bowl sundays was like the whole episode is like
because it goes back and forth in time in that
show okay so then there's like the three of them
at super bowl sunday now and then they're having
flashbacks of that but what happens is they have
a crock pot that they use for the super bowl
and it's like passed passed down from like family
to family so he thinks he turns it off and it
doesn't turn off so it lights up so that after
that episode came out when like it aired people
were like okay now we have to check your crock
pots yeah so that was mine it's really sad that's
really sad Well, that's part of the reason I
haven't watched that show is because I know,
like, every episode just makes you cry. Oh, but
you needed it, you know. Once a week. Yeah. I'll
just cry on my own. Yeah. Anxieties are high
lately. Well, that's all I got, friends. Hey,
