From the unexplained to the mundane, join us on our journey to the fringe.
Hello and welcome to Journey to the Fringe.
You know Chelsea, the fringe store called, and they're all out of us.
We are your podcast hosts, some of whom don't actually like Seinfeld at all, but thought
people would like the reference.
Taylor and Chelsea here today, bringing you some fat-loving features, which Chelsea is
in charge of this time around, so I will just leave this for her to take over.
Oh man, that one's a good one.
That was the best one, I think, ever.
Thought to say they're not all good, Taylor.
I play to my audience, who was you for this part of it?
Yes, it really is.
That boy was not a winner.
Hello, have you ever wondered what is out there in the world that is bleeding, but shouldn't?
I guess that could go in many different directions, but-
We all hope it's not us internally, of course.
The most scary of them all.
Yeah, the leg, proper way internally, not bad internal bleeding.
That's bad, but blood should be flowing through you.
That's not- that's not considered bleeding if it's flowing through you, Chelsea.
I thought it might be.
The river of blood, it needs to be constantly streaming, does it not?
Okay.
No?
Okay, sure.
I don't think bleeding is-
No, that's right.
Interchangeable with flowing in this situation.
You can't say that I'm wrong when I say that.
In a very pedantic way, no, I can't.
Is bleeding when it comes out in places it shouldn't be?
I guess I don't know the definition for bleeding.
It's what I'm figuring out.
Anyhow, the shouldn't portion of that that I'm talking about today isn't the fact that
I don't know the correct definition of bleeding, apparently.
So that really makes me take pause for this whole episode, but it's already done.
What I'm talking about today is not humans, so it doesn't even matter what kind of
bleeding I'm talking about.
And I'm gonna be honest, I thought I may have had a lot more hits in my research than I
actually got because the category only contains like three subcategories to my knowledge.
Here I thought we were gonna be finding like bleeding dolls, bleeding elevators where the
blood rushes out, like a lot of it.
Are you saying they made that up for Hollywood?
Apparently.
Huh.
No bleeding elevators actually have ever happened.
Huh.
They were aware of or have been documented, we should say.
Yes, exactly.
Bleeding kitchen appliances, bleeding.
You know what, like a bleeding fridge where you go in to get like your ice cubes and their
blood ice cubes?
I could see that.
Or it just rushes out like the elevator.
Yeah.
Like when you open the door.
I would hate either of those.
They'd be super uncomfortable.
Yeah, well, and to be fair, a lot of these stories where a thing is bleeding likely it
turns out somebody who was just touching it turned out to be bleeding beforehand is my
guess.
Maybe.
I guess we'll see.
So we don't get those stories because those people feel sad.
Yeah.
Anyhow, the point of the matter is I just thought that there would be more things that blood
that shouldn't be bleeding.
Apparently it's not like that profound of a problem amongst many things, just super specific
things.
So yeah, you know what, Chelsea?
Just because we've talked a bit about this, two things I expected to see on this list
that didn't end up showing up.
Dolls.
Definitely.
Definitely expected dolls and fountains.
Definitely expected a fountain.
Fountains, hey?
Yeah.
I didn't even think to search bleeding fountains, but it did come up.
I'm assuming it's not that big of a problem.
Also possibly ground, but we didn't.
I didn't direct you that way.
No, no, ground didn't come up at all.
Dare I say even a blood geyser.
But that's probably just Hollywood mumbo jumbo again.
That's it.
Where have you seen a bleeding geyser in Hollywood?
Oh, Evil Dead 2.
Oh yeah, that's the total.
Everything bleeds.
And it was, yeah, everything was a bleeding geyser and people did too.
Literally everything.
Yeah.
Except for a scare.
It brings me to the next point, the cabin from Evil Dead 2 is our first point.
Just kidding, it's not.
It should be, though.
Okay, what do you think it is?
What do you think is the number one hit of bleeding things?
Oh, it's definitely got to be religious statues.
Oh yeah, it is.
Religious figures, it sure is.
I don't know why.
So particular towards specifically Catholic religious figures for some reason, and they're
fucking bleeding out.
Someone give them an iron transfusion.
Yeah, they gotta have the little blood that they have.
Yeah.
Wasted it all.
Every drop of blood that is flowing through those statues, they're losing.
The current of bleeding religious figures actually goes back quite a long time.
But it starts coming to popularity, occurring around World War II, so around the 40s-ish,
between that time, 40s and 60s.
Wait, sorry, it's not really a thing before then?
It is.
But it isn't really talked about that much until there's this mania of religious figures
that are bleeding in the 40s to 60s-ish.
You don't really hear about it talked about that much, and I don't even have anything
to talk about until then.
So all I hear is that it has happened.
It goes back probably to Jesus times, I'm assuming.
I'm not even gonna say what I was just gonna say.
It could probably be considered offensive.
It would probably have to go back as far as statues of, really it's Jesus and Mary, isn't
it, that are bleeding.
So they gotta go back as far as those statues.
Yeah, and like I said, specific to Catholicism for some weird reason.
And the phenomenon was manifesting in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.
Or statues and pictures of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary and the saints have appeared
to bleed.
And they bleed in significant ways from the hand, brows, places where Jesus was allegedly
wounded.
Like should we even be calling him Jesus?
He should be going by, what's his actual name?
Yeshua or Joshua?
Joshua, yeah.
Or is some people later to us call him Little Baby Jesus?
Yeah, who's Jesus?
If you want to pronounce it correctly.
It's Stigmata.
The statues are bleeding in places where apparently Jesus was wounded by the rabbit, I think is
how it goes.
And that's where he bleeds from.
And he cursed the rabbit to poop eggs on one day per year.
And in shaming he hides from.
Exactly, but they have to be chocolate.
Or they bleed from their eyes as if they're crying or their eyes are watering blood.
Whichever one you choose to believe for yourself.
Brainuses, Taylor.
I'm glad you did the research that nobody's willing to do.
You're still to bleeds from the butt.
Nobody else has to Google that now.
You heard it here first, just like so many facts.
And I really hope you guys trust us with that and are not now saying, oh, that's bullshit.
They didn't actually do that.
I got a chat.
I mean, I can't blame them for wanting to check that.
If you find anything compelling, please put it in the comments.
So this has actually been reported happening in religious icons for eons, like I said,
and that's a scientific term, eons.
The number of occurrences just keep on increasing over the decades.
And like I said, it kind of hits that fever pitch in the World War II era for the Catholics.
Was it because the bullets just start flying at that point and we didn't know how to wound
statues before that point?
No, it sounds like that's just one.
The statues got really sad.
Oh, OK.
That makes sense.
Yeah, that was such a sad time.
They reached like a solar maximum of sadness during World War II.
So I'm going to talk a little bit about some statues that have reported bleeding.
First step, we have a small statue of the Virgin Mary belonging to Olga Rodriguez, a
woman in Santiago de Le, that on November 14, 1992, became to bleed from its eyes.
And that's the statue, not Olga.
People who began to stop by the Rodriguez home alerted police to the phenomenon and
the local criminal investigation department took samples of the liquid for analysis.
It turned out to be type O blood.
Can you imagine what we can tell you to call the police on someone because their statue
is bleeding?
What would compel you to check the blood type?
Yeah, the police were compelled to do that.
But I mean, if you're super religious, I could maybe see calling the police to be able to
call the bleeding statue.
The police?
That pun doesn't work.
Sorry, that was awful.
It's like what?
The same year similar reports came from Lake Ridge, Virginia.
The priest, I don't know what the abbreviation FR means, but that's what it is.
Father.
I think.
It's how you abbreviate father.
I assume.
Oh yeah, no, that would make that makes logical sense.
Now that you say that, we're a priest.
Father, I've never seen it abbreviated like this.
I am shocked.
It could also mean French.
No, that's the first thing it comes up.
James Bruce of St. Elizabeth and Seton Church reported cold weather caused statues of the
Virgin Mary to weep tears of blood.
It must have been really cold.
Not only had many parishioners seen the primary statue at St. Elizabeth and Seton Church
weep blood, various other statues that Bruce had been standing near.
The third incident occurred in San Tomas, Mexico.
It was first seen by a young girl praying before the statue for the healing of her mother.
Turning home, she found her mother up and fixing supper.
First time she had been out of bed in three months.
In 1994, stories came from Ireland, Australia and Puerto Rico.
In 1996, reports came from Trinidad and Kansas and in 1997 from Benin, which is in Africa.
Through the decade, more than a dozen cases appeared in Italy alone.
I mean, when you're seeing it connected with Catholicism, I mean, that's probably where
you're going to see it concentrated.
Then from the statue of the Virgin in Las Vegas that began bleeding in 1998 has been
caught on pieces of cotton and given away to the faithful.
It has been tied to a number of healings.
As with the case in Chile, many of these cases have been investigated at least minimally.
And the substance oozing from the pictures or statues is indeed blood.
Though the type of blood varies from incident to incident.
Many have been seen by large groups and have occurred in such a way that the more obvious
means of faking the phenomenon have been ruled out.
Nevertheless, two of the cases have been given what might be thought of as a thorough investigation.
Yeah, Chelsea, I am just curious.
I'm sorry if I miss this, but what are the more obvious ways of faking it?
Is it like taking your own blood and putting it on the statue?
You haven't missed it.
You have once again predicted where this podcast episode is going.
So give me like five minutes and I'll talk to you about it a little bit.
There are still recent cases of weeping statues happening.
A few I have is Argentina.
Just a couple of years ago, a statue of the Virgin Mary in the town of Metan reportedly
began to weep blood.
This event attracted many visitors and was seen by some as a miraculous sign, which
I'll talk about in a second.
In Mexico in 2020 in Acapulco, a statue of Jesus was reported to have blood from the
forehead.
This incident drew significant attention from locals in the media.
Those are some of the most recent and some of the most notable weeping statues include
and these are huge ones.
Lady of Akita in Japan, which is from a town of the same name, where a statue of the Virgin
Mary wept, perspired and bled from the right hand in what appeared to be a cross shaped
wound.
This case passed a rigorous investigation by local scientists and the local diocesan authorities
and the Vatican.
Diases.
It says diocesan.
So it must be dioceses.
Okay.
Diasesan, baby.
Okay.
And the Vatican.
The phenomenon are associated with Stigmata and the three apparitions of the Virgin Mary
received by a deaf Japanese Roman Catholic nun, sister Agnes Sasagawa.
This one was also broadcast on live television for a lot of Japan to tune in and I think
Stigmata would be kind of a cool thing to maybe do a podcast episode on, I don't know,
because it's so religious, but Stigmata is the bleeding, I guess.
I'm making this up.
I'm not even looking this up.
The wounds of Jesus when he was on the cross.
Yeah, it's not.
Yeah, it's the, oh, what do they call it?
The somethings of the cross.
The crown of thorns on his forehead.
Yeah.
And what's the third one?
There's the third one.
There's the lashings.
Isn't it seven?
That is seven.
I don't know where I got three from.
I'm just going off this of memory.
Hold on, let's find it out.
Brought it up a few times.
We might as well tell you guys what Stigmata is.
Utterly wounds, scars and pain which occurs in locations corresponding to the crucifixion
wounds of Jesus.
That's it.
The hands, wrists, feet near the heart, the head, the crown of thorns and the back from
carrying the cross and...
That's right.
The last one's the spear in the heart.
Right.
Yes.
I know that's because of the horror movie.
The movie, Stigmata.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
It was not a bad movie.
Next of the notable sightings is Christ of the Tears Bolivia.
And this is from the Chapel of the Christ of the Tears of St. Peter, the statue of Christ
that has repeatedly shed tears of blood every good Friday since 1995 and it attracts thousands
of worshippers annually.
It also has one of the most, I think it's the biggest statue of Jesus, not to be confused
with one that's crying, but they also have one of the biggest statues of Jesus there.
Hereby to this, but this guy, he cries annually tears of blood.
And then lastly, in 1995, a Madonna statue appeared to weep blood in the town of Civita
Vecchia in Italy, where about 60 witnesses testified to witnessing the phenomenon.
And the local bishop said that he himself had seen a weep blood on the statue was later
found to be male.
I don't know what that has to do with Madonna.
Wait, the blood was male?
Yeah.
How can you tell?
I don't know.
I mean, we can do a lot with DNA now.
I don't know about 1995.
No, but like, if it's just red blood cells, like red blood cells don't have DNA, but
I guess there's other stuff in there.
Okay.
Never mind.
I don't know.
Take your word for that.
So most, if not all of these weeping statues are associated with other kind of paranormal
things, including miraculous healing, Mary and apparitions, which are sightings of Mary,
some sort of angels and miracles, and eventually pilgrimages, of course, as a result of the
weeping, which came up a little bit, I mean, this is going to draw people to it that there's,
you know, some religious icon that is crying tears of blood.
Folks, perhaps in 1985, a statue in Montreal was reported to be weeping and bleeding.
However, it turned out that the statue was smeared with the owner's blood and shaving
cream.
Of all things, Montreal is a weird place.
In 2008, Kurt Custodian Vincenzo DiConstanzo went on trial in northern Italy for faking
blood on the statue of the Virgin Mary when his own DNA was matched to the blood.
Would they match it to the blood?
Like was his blood already on file or did he agree to a DNA test?
Yeah, that's one of those awkward things with 23 and me, like anybody who's done a
test, the police have that shit.
They do.
Yeah.
That's the awkward thing.
Like you do a murder.
And then they're like, oh, you shouldn't have done 23 and me as well.
In 2018, at our Lady Guadalupe Catholic Church in Hobbes, New Mexico, a Mary statue was reported
to be producing tears.
In July of that year, the Catholic diocese of Las Cruces revealed the test confirmed
the tears in fact had the chemical composition of rose scented olive oil.
While it has been said that it's fairly easy to hoax of bleeding statue, there are those
that remain unexplained, are less that have been reported, of course, and given the large
amount of paranormal happenings associated with the weeping statues, there may be something
more to it.
A small amount of the time?
It is weird that it's only happening in the Catholic statue.
So I know, isn't that weird?
Next topic, Bleeding House of Atlanta.
That's the next bleeding thing.
Atlanta police have been called just after midnight by a woman claiming what looked
like blood was coming out of the floor at her home at 1114 Fountain Drive.
That's fountain of blood.
I'd like that.
That's a good road to live on to this.
In the late 1980s, elderly couple William and Minnie Winston lived in a small private
house in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Bleeding in their life was calm and normal, except that William had diseased kidneys and
was connected to a dialysis machine every day, which he really did not like and why
he was often out of sorts.
Ir enough, William.
Late in the evening of September 8th, 1987, 77 year old Minnie Winston took a bath, dried
herself with a towel, and as she was getting ready to leave the bathroom, she noticed a
red spot on the floor.
It looked like blood, but Minnie was sure there were no wounds on her body where it could
leak.
The blood could leak out.
And when she looked around the entire bathroom, she found another red spot.
This time on the wall, red liquid slowly flowed from it down to the floor.
Ew, that's disgusting.
Minnie jumped out of the bathroom and saw bloody streaks on the floor and the hallway
smeared on the tiles.
I'd be looking for my husband.
She immediately thought that something had happened to her husband.
Okay.
And that the blood might have leaked during dialysis.
However, when she woke up William, 79, there were no sources of bleeding on his body.
There was no blood on her near the dialysis machine.
The frightened couple walked around all six rooms of the house and found bloody stains
on the floor in almost every room.
Her house was old, brick and very strong.
They had lived there for 22 years and until now nothing unusual has happened in the house.
They had no pets.
They had never seen rats, mice, or other possible pets.
They didn't know what to do and finally decided to just go to bed.
I would call the cops, I think.
I love you, aunt.
Let's just sleep on it.
Yeah, let's just go to bed.
There's a disturbing amount of blood, but I was expecting this house to have such an
old person response to.
Let's just ignore it and they'll go away.
The next morning, the blood on the floor and walls had not gone away and there even seemed
to be more of it.
The Winston's decided to call the police.
Here we go.
Please search the house and indeed found copious amounts of blood in the bathroom, kitchen,
living room, bedroom, hallways, and even the basement.
They found no evidence that the person had been attacked.
They declared the Winston house a crime scene and surrounded it with yellow tape.
People was allowed to stay inside them.
Blood samples were collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
First of all, in order to determine whether it is human blood at all, soon the answer
came that yes.
Moreover, it was type zero.
Is there a type zero?
Type O, type O.
They mean O?
Yeah, I think they mean O.
Both the Winston's had type A blood.
Is it?
Do you find it odd?
If we can speculate on it at this point, every time we've come up when they test it
is type O.
Twice, yes, it has been type O.
The two times, I guess, is technically how you can guess.
I'm going to call it type zero from now on.
Okay.
Oh, you have type zero blood.
Yes, it might be weird that the paranormal does O's zero blood.
The blood of the paranormal, I guess.
According to Detective Steve Cartwright, who led the case, it worked in the police force
for more than 10 years up to that point, but never encountered such an oddity.
This examined the house again, but in the end, they still found nothing more.
A few days later, the story hit the press in a crowd of onlookers and journalists locked
to the house.
Also psychics who offered their services, believing that something supernatural was involved.
I love that part of these stories where they're not asked to show up at all, but men to the
psychics show up for all of these things.
Oh yeah, and you got to believe the Warrens were there.
Yeah.
Just looking for a name.
Oh, them and their prime right there.
And a group of five enthusiastic skeptics was formed who decided to get to the bottom
of this phenomenon at all costs.
Were the costs?
They were Joe Nicol, Larry Johnson, Rick Moen, and Rebecca Long, who were later joined by
Lieutenant G Walker, who was on the original team of investigators on the case.
At some point, they managed to get a police report from the inspection of the house, which
contained color photos of bloody stains.
Last these photos are not available on the internet.
Alas.
But no further breakthroughs happened.
Lieutenant Walker believed that there is no poltergeist intervention, as psychics believed.
Assume that something criminal had happened in the house.
He also did not rule out that the spouse could have been persuaded to commit a hoax by promising
the money or something else.
Walker then discovered that the Winston's daughter worked at the hospital at St. Perce
and had access to blood donations.
According to this theory, the daughter could deliberately stage a bloody show in order to
make her parents look crazy and so that they would be recognized as incompetent.
Then the daughter would get their house for herself.
Okay, I mean, that's a lot of pain to go through to just get the house.
Yeah.
These skeptics, I'm not a huge fan of how far they had to stretch the story.
Oh no, they stretched it pretty far.
Although I do agree, if you're going to fake this, you gotta have somebody else's blood,
because the first thing you're gonna do is check your blood.
Well, of course, we saw that with the statues.
Any layman's gonna know that.
And why don't we get to hear from the psychics?
Why are we taking the sides of this, like, shot-ally put together skeptical group?
Good question.
That wanted to disprove it at all costs.
At all costs, yeah.
That's what they did.
They probably spent like fifty dollars on it.
Yeah.
Upwards of seventy.
Oh yeah.
Who believes them?
Like, at all costs, like, get out of here, group of skeptics.
Walker considered this version very plausible.
What was it, the daughter?
Yeah, the daughter getting blood from the hospital and stealing the house.
Could you imagine?
That's a good maid for TV.
Yes, to me, like, more at all costs than what the skeptics are doing, and they said at all
costs for the skeptics.
So maybe the skeptics did it.
They said all costs.
Yeah, you know what?
They were looking for anybody else other than the skeptics to blame.
That is a good point.
We just fucking solved this.
Walker considered this version very plausible, the one we just said, of course, as he found
out that there had been a long stand as serious conflicts between the Winston's and their
daughter.
However, he was removed from the case long ago, and the official investigation quickly
reached a dead end, and the case was simply closed.
A police spokesman later admitted that they still do not understand where the blood came
from.
Huh.
So, yeah, it is actually unfortunate that none of the psychics got to give an answer.
I know.
This article quickly took the side of the skeptics, and I'm not a fan of that.
All we got from what the paranormal people said was about the poltergeist.
They didn't think it was poltergeist.
Which, if I'm thinking about it, and it's paranormal, it's probably going to be poltergeist.
Yeah.
God, thank.
They're the ones causing all sorts of shit.
Well, and there was no sighting, so if it was paranormal, it's probably poltergeist.
Oh no, there was no sightings.
Either that, or there's some sort of murder up in their house.
I don't know.
I'm not an expert.
Next up, Bleeding Walls.
Which I got a lot more hits out of than I thought I would.
First Bleeding Wall Up, The Talman House.
Residents of an ordinary home in Horikon, Wisconsin, I don't know what their name is,
Horikon, found themselves the victim of a very strange thing indeed.
A haunted bunk bed.
That's not a fucking wall, that's a bunk bed.
No.
Maybe it's a Murphy bed.
Hey, you just solved it.
A Murphy bunk bed.
According to Cult of Weird, in 1988, this family suffered through nine months of intense
paranormal activity after purchasing a used bunk bed, including spectral apparitions.
They ultimately fled their home, but not before rumors of even stranger things, including
bleeding walls spread through their neighborhood.
What?
Why not just get rid of the fucking bunk bed if you think it's a bunk bed?
Did they take a mortgage out on the bunk bed?
Like they couldn't afford to not have it.
We're never gonna know.
Next up, Mary Knoll Seminary, since knock down, legend has it, oh, since I guess it
was.
It has since been knocked down, yeah.
Legend has it that Mary Knoll Seminary in Illinois was once haunted by the spirit of
a monk.
According to the Shadowlands, he hung himself in the bell tower.
After his death, along with unexplained noises, there were reports of fresh blood oozing down
the tower's exterior.
Oh, that one's spooky.
See, that one's what you want for Halloween.
Fresh blood oozing down the tower.
House.
The house on Brownsville Road.
A Pittsburgh family was allegedly tormented by a demonic entity known as the Demon of
Brownsville Road.
They reported bleeding walls, among other things.
That's the end of that one.
We said walls.
You got it.
That's all we're here for.
It was bleeding walls, of course.
No other details.
And it was hit really early on in that sentence.
The San Pedro Haunting.
Family in San Pedro, California experienced what they believed to be a particularly violent
poltergeist.
Physical attacks and even attempted hanging are just two of the more extreme phenomena
they suffered back in the late 1980s.
Relievant to our interest here, they also encountered a mysterious red ooze that seemed
to drip down from their cupboards and other places.
It was later reportedly confirmed to be human blood plasma.
And next one, horror at the Winston House.
Perhaps the strangest incident involving bleeding walls occurred at the Winston House, also
in the late 1980s, which was the time for bleeding walls.
In the September 11, 1987 issue of the Register Guard newspaper, there appeared the curious
headline, bleeding house besieged.
It told the story of William and Minnie Winston.
Oh, this is the guys again.
Let's see what it has to say.
I didn't even know I made it in twice.
Oh no, it was a bleeding house and then they came back up for the walls.
But it was clearly just floor.
I only have two topics.
Anyhow, they contacted police after discovering blood throughout their home.
According to the Register Guard, it reported finding blood on the floors and walls of the
house they had rented for 22 years.
Lab tests confirmed it was human blood.
Wait, they rented it?
I missed that in the last one.
So the daughter wanted to rent the house according to the skeptics.
Maybe it was rent controls.
In fucking, where is it?
It was in Georgia, I think.
Oh, yes, somewhere where it's not rent controlled.
Millie Winston made first contact with the mysterious pools of blood after stepping out
of her bathtub in September 8.
After investigating, police would later find blood in the bathroom, kitchen, living room,
bedroom, and halls nearly anywhere, everywhere, and yet no explanation for its existence could
be found.
History would also appear in the New York Times and believe it or not, it remains a mystery.
I was really hoping by continuing to read they would have said something about the
psychics.
But last, they did not.
So these cases are all interesting and all, but the truth is, paranormal or not, having
anything ooze out of your wall is troubling to say the least.
What would you do if you just saw blood oozing out of your wall?
And that's a good thing to bring up at this point, because I might have to sleep on it.
I feel like first I'd wipe it.
Yeah, yeah, you first you wipe it, but then it comes back.
Do you smell it?
To see like, hey, what is this?
No, I probably would.
I'm not going to lie.
I would definitely smell it.
Nobody's watching me.
Not recording a blog.
Do you look both ways and then smell it?
Maybe.
I'm sure nobody's watching me.
I don't taste it though.
I don't know.
Do you call a contractor?
Do you call a plumber in thinking that you like hit a line of something?
I'm going to be honest.
I wipe it.
It's back.
It may be smell what I wiped.
I call it for a second opinion and I go from there.
I think that's how it plays out.
Okay.
I call my brother.
That's reasonable.
This time, what do you think this is?
Then he'll ask me if I smelled it.
And then if I wiped it first and then if I smelled it, then I'm not sure.
And I'm heavily relying on the second opinion at that point.
But I should do.
Anyhow, sometimes a mysterious goo has an ordinary explanation.
They're fact and leaching.
This happens when humidity causes paint ingredients to drip down your wall.
Fairly normal, I guess.
Ever happened to me.
You know what has happened to me though is I lived in an apartment where there were smokers
before me.
Oh, it did look like it was bleeding from like the top of the walls of all the like nicotine
grossness.
Interesting.
And I have seen stories too of bees making hives in walls and then honey leaking from
the walls.
I mean, you can't hope for a better option that it's honey.
I'm a dumb. And in which case smelling is probably going to solve your problem right
there.
But also the implications of bees living in your walls, I think is actually worse than
just like a, I don't know, a paranormal blood leaking from it.
What would you prefer?
Probably the bloody walls.
Like that's an infestation I don't want to have to deal with.
Bees.
Yeah, but the blood is a different kind of an offense.
Either way, you have some troubles.
Okay, so that, that, that.
Fairly normal.
Other times the cause is far more grisly.
Say a decomposing body.
As the Daily News reported in 2015, an Oklahoma man discovered his kitchen was bleeding much
to his dismay.
Yep, that's the first thought if you see it bleeding.
When police arrived to investigate, they discovered the terrible truth.
His upstairs neighbor had died of natural causes, hit their head and their blood had
oozed down to the apartment below.
That's fucking disturbing.
And that ends the podcast.
That was a beautiful note to end on.
Hold on, I think.
Let me scroll down.
No, that was for sure it.
Yeah, and I guess that's the true real worst case scenario of bleeding walls is there's
a body.
No, no, that's definitely a worst case scenario of that.
In which case, maybe you shouldn't be smelling your walls if they're bleeding.
And in which case too, maybe we should be checking the inside of these statues.
Oh my God, maybe there's far darker implications of this.
Are darker.
Well, and with those implications, I have been Taylor here with Chelsea, both of whom
I assume are hopefully bleeding internally the right way that we've discussed.
