1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,760 From the unexplained to the mundane, join us on our journey to the fringe. 2 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,440 Hello and welcome to Journey to the Fringe. 3 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,160 You know Chelsea, the fringe store called, and they're all out of us. 4 00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:39,880 We are your podcast hosts, some of whom don't actually like Seinfeld at all, but thought 5 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,320 people would like the reference. 6 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:49,840 Taylor and Chelsea here today, bringing you some fat-loving features, which Chelsea is 7 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,000 in charge of this time around, so I will just leave this for her to take over. 8 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,400 Oh man, that one's a good one. 9 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,280 That was the best one, I think, ever. 10 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,520 Thought to say they're not all good, Taylor. 11 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,640 I play to my audience, who was you for this part of it? 12 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,280 Yes, it really is. 13 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,400 That boy was not a winner. 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,400 Hello, have you ever wondered what is out there in the world that is bleeding, but shouldn't? 15 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,760 I guess that could go in many different directions, but- 16 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,600 We all hope it's not us internally, of course. 17 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,400 The most scary of them all. 18 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,800 Yeah, the leg, proper way internally, not bad internal bleeding. 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,720 That's bad, but blood should be flowing through you. 20 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,320 That's not- that's not considered bleeding if it's flowing through you, Chelsea. 21 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,240 I thought it might be. 22 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,080 The river of blood, it needs to be constantly streaming, does it not? 23 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Okay. 24 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,080 No? 25 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,080 Okay, sure. 26 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,600 I don't think bleeding is- 27 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,600 No, that's right. 28 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,960 Interchangeable with flowing in this situation. 29 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,000 You can't say that I'm wrong when I say that. 30 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,920 In a very pedantic way, no, I can't. 31 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,440 Is bleeding when it comes out in places it shouldn't be? 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,160 I guess I don't know the definition for bleeding. 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,360 It's what I'm figuring out. 34 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,000 Anyhow, the shouldn't portion of that that I'm talking about today isn't the fact that 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,960 I don't know the correct definition of bleeding, apparently. 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,920 So that really makes me take pause for this whole episode, but it's already done. 37 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:25,840 What I'm talking about today is not humans, so it doesn't even matter what kind of 38 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,920 bleeding I'm talking about. 39 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:34,000 And I'm gonna be honest, I thought I may have had a lot more hits in my research than I 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,160 actually got because the category only contains like three subcategories to my knowledge. 41 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,840 Here I thought we were gonna be finding like bleeding dolls, bleeding elevators where the 42 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,440 blood rushes out, like a lot of it. 43 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,320 Are you saying they made that up for Hollywood? 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,320 Apparently. 45 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,320 Huh. 46 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560 No bleeding elevators actually have ever happened. 47 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Huh. 48 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440 They were aware of or have been documented, we should say. 49 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,080 Yes, exactly. 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,480 Bleeding kitchen appliances, bleeding. 51 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,040 You know what, like a bleeding fridge where you go in to get like your ice cubes and their 52 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,800 blood ice cubes? 53 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,800 I could see that. 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,640 Or it just rushes out like the elevator. 55 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:15,640 Yeah. 56 00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:18,560 Like when you open the door. 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,160 I would hate either of those. 58 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,160 They'd be super uncomfortable. 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,040 Yeah, well, and to be fair, a lot of these stories where a thing is bleeding likely it 60 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,840 turns out somebody who was just touching it turned out to be bleeding beforehand is my 61 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:30,840 guess. 62 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,840 Maybe. 63 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,840 I guess we'll see. 64 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,280 So we don't get those stories because those people feel sad. 65 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,280 Yeah. 66 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,440 Anyhow, the point of the matter is I just thought that there would be more things that blood 67 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,720 that shouldn't be bleeding. 68 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:50,200 Apparently it's not like that profound of a problem amongst many things, just super specific 69 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,200 things. 70 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,320 So yeah, you know what, Chelsea? 71 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,600 Just because we've talked a bit about this, two things I expected to see on this list 72 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,520 that didn't end up showing up. 73 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,520 Dolls. 74 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,520 Definitely. 75 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,960 Definitely expected dolls and fountains. 76 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,960 Definitely expected a fountain. 77 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Fountains, hey? 78 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,960 Yeah. 79 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,960 Yeah. 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,160 I didn't even think to search bleeding fountains, but it did come up. 81 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,640 I'm assuming it's not that big of a problem. 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,400 Also possibly ground, but we didn't. 83 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,240 I didn't direct you that way. 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,480 No, no, ground didn't come up at all. 85 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,560 Dare I say even a blood geyser. 86 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,080 But that's probably just Hollywood mumbo jumbo again. 87 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,080 That's it. 88 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,760 Where have you seen a bleeding geyser in Hollywood? 89 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,880 Oh, Evil Dead 2. 90 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,640 Oh yeah, that's the total. 91 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,640 Everything bleeds. 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,760 And it was, yeah, everything was a bleeding geyser and people did too. 93 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,760 Literally everything. 94 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,760 Yeah. 95 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,240 Except for a scare. 96 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,920 It brings me to the next point, the cabin from Evil Dead 2 is our first point. 97 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:51,920 Just kidding, it's not. 98 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,920 It should be, though. 99 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,800 Okay, what do you think it is? 100 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,520 What do you think is the number one hit of bleeding things? 101 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,160 Oh, it's definitely got to be religious statues. 102 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,960 Oh yeah, it is. 103 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,040 Religious figures, it sure is. 104 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,880 I don't know why. 105 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:14,000 So particular towards specifically Catholic religious figures for some reason, and they're 106 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,960 fucking bleeding out. 107 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,560 Someone give them an iron transfusion. 108 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,920 Yeah, they gotta have the little blood that they have. 109 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,920 Yeah. 110 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,760 Wasted it all. 111 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,040 Every drop of blood that is flowing through those statues, they're losing. 112 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:35,080 The current of bleeding religious figures actually goes back quite a long time. 113 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,800 But it starts coming to popularity, occurring around World War II, so around the 40s-ish, 114 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960 between that time, 40s and 60s. 115 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880 Wait, sorry, it's not really a thing before then? 116 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:46,880 It is. 117 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:54,960 But it isn't really talked about that much until there's this mania of religious figures 118 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,760 that are bleeding in the 40s to 60s-ish. 119 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,080 You don't really hear about it talked about that much, and I don't even have anything 120 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,560 to talk about until then. 121 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,200 So all I hear is that it has happened. 122 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,480 It goes back probably to Jesus times, I'm assuming. 123 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,360 I'm not even gonna say what I was just gonna say. 124 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,320 It could probably be considered offensive. 125 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,960 It would probably have to go back as far as statues of, really it's Jesus and Mary, isn't 126 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,320 it, that are bleeding. 127 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,880 So they gotta go back as far as those statues. 128 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,160 Yeah, and like I said, specific to Catholicism for some weird reason. 129 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,200 And the phenomenon was manifesting in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. 130 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,640 Or statues and pictures of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary and the saints have appeared 131 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,640 to bleed. 132 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:49,440 And they bleed in significant ways from the hand, brows, places where Jesus was allegedly 133 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,440 wounded. 134 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,120 Like should we even be calling him Jesus? 135 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,880 He should be going by, what's his actual name? 136 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,880 Yeshua or Joshua? 137 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Joshua, yeah. 138 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,640 Or is some people later to us call him Little Baby Jesus? 139 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,040 Yeah, who's Jesus? 140 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,800 If you want to pronounce it correctly. 141 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,080 It's Stigmata. 142 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,400 The statues are bleeding in places where apparently Jesus was wounded by the rabbit, I think is 143 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,400 how it goes. 144 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,400 And that's where he bleeds from. 145 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,480 And he cursed the rabbit to poop eggs on one day per year. 146 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,960 And in shaming he hides from. 147 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,720 Exactly, but they have to be chocolate. 148 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,280 Or they bleed from their eyes as if they're crying or their eyes are watering blood. 149 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,080 Whichever one you choose to believe for yourself. 150 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,080 Brainuses, Taylor. 151 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,880 I'm glad you did the research that nobody's willing to do. 152 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,280 You're still to bleeds from the butt. 153 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,880 Nobody else has to Google that now. 154 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,240 You heard it here first, just like so many facts. 155 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,520 And I really hope you guys trust us with that and are not now saying, oh, that's bullshit. 156 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,520 They didn't actually do that. 157 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,520 I got a chat. 158 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,320 I mean, I can't blame them for wanting to check that. 159 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,040 If you find anything compelling, please put it in the comments. 160 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,400 So this has actually been reported happening in religious icons for eons, like I said, 161 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,000 and that's a scientific term, eons. 162 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,200 The number of occurrences just keep on increasing over the decades. 163 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,200 And like I said, it kind of hits that fever pitch in the World War II era for the Catholics. 164 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:26,000 Was it because the bullets just start flying at that point and we didn't know how to wound 165 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,520 statues before that point? 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,800 No, it sounds like that's just one. 167 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,040 The statues got really sad. 168 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,040 Oh, OK. 169 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,040 That makes sense. 170 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,440 Yeah, that was such a sad time. 171 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,120 They reached like a solar maximum of sadness during World War II. 172 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,720 So I'm going to talk a little bit about some statues that have reported bleeding. 173 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:53,760 First step, we have a small statue of the Virgin Mary belonging to Olga Rodriguez, a 174 00:08:53,760 --> 00:09:00,160 woman in Santiago de Le, that on November 14, 1992, became to bleed from its eyes. 175 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,720 And that's the statue, not Olga. 176 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,440 People who began to stop by the Rodriguez home alerted police to the phenomenon and 177 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,320 the local criminal investigation department took samples of the liquid for analysis. 178 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,880 It turned out to be type O blood. 179 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,120 Can you imagine what we can tell you to call the police on someone because their statue 180 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,120 is bleeding? 181 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,320 What would compel you to check the blood type? 182 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,160 Yeah, the police were compelled to do that. 183 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,560 But I mean, if you're super religious, I could maybe see calling the police to be able to 184 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,720 call the bleeding statue. 185 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,720 The police? 186 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,720 That pun doesn't work. 187 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,720 Sorry, that was awful. 188 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,640 It's like what? 189 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,880 The same year similar reports came from Lake Ridge, Virginia. 190 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:51,000 The priest, I don't know what the abbreviation FR means, but that's what it is. 191 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Father. 192 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000 I think. 193 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000 It's how you abbreviate father. 194 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000 I assume. 195 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,520 Oh yeah, no, that would make that makes logical sense. 196 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,200 Now that you say that, we're a priest. 197 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,000 Father, I've never seen it abbreviated like this. 198 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,000 I am shocked. 199 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000 It could also mean French. 200 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,880 No, that's the first thing it comes up. 201 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:14,640 James Bruce of St. Elizabeth and Seton Church reported cold weather caused statues of the 202 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,760 Virgin Mary to weep tears of blood. 203 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,840 It must have been really cold. 204 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,400 Not only had many parishioners seen the primary statue at St. Elizabeth and Seton Church 205 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,560 weep blood, various other statues that Bruce had been standing near. 206 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:34,680 The third incident occurred in San Tomas, Mexico. 207 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:40,120 It was first seen by a young girl praying before the statue for the healing of her mother. 208 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,160 Turning home, she found her mother up and fixing supper. 209 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,040 First time she had been out of bed in three months. 210 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,080 In 1994, stories came from Ireland, Australia and Puerto Rico. 211 00:10:53,080 --> 00:11:00,720 In 1996, reports came from Trinidad and Kansas and in 1997 from Benin, which is in Africa. 212 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,520 Through the decade, more than a dozen cases appeared in Italy alone. 213 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,200 I mean, when you're seeing it connected with Catholicism, I mean, that's probably where 214 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,960 you're going to see it concentrated. 215 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:18,560 Then from the statue of the Virgin in Las Vegas that began bleeding in 1998 has been 216 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,760 caught on pieces of cotton and given away to the faithful. 217 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,960 It has been tied to a number of healings. 218 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,200 As with the case in Chile, many of these cases have been investigated at least minimally. 219 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,240 And the substance oozing from the pictures or statues is indeed blood. 220 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,560 Though the type of blood varies from incident to incident. 221 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:42,240 Many have been seen by large groups and have occurred in such a way that the more obvious 222 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,320 means of faking the phenomenon have been ruled out. 223 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,680 Nevertheless, two of the cases have been given what might be thought of as a thorough investigation. 224 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,880 Yeah, Chelsea, I am just curious. 225 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,880 I'm sorry if I miss this, but what are the more obvious ways of faking it? 226 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,360 Is it like taking your own blood and putting it on the statue? 227 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,520 You haven't missed it. 228 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,800 You have once again predicted where this podcast episode is going. 229 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,200 So give me like five minutes and I'll talk to you about it a little bit. 230 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,400 There are still recent cases of weeping statues happening. 231 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,040 A few I have is Argentina. 232 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,440 Just a couple of years ago, a statue of the Virgin Mary in the town of Metan reportedly 233 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,040 began to weep blood. 234 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,560 This event attracted many visitors and was seen by some as a miraculous sign, which 235 00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:33,520 I'll talk about in a second. 236 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:40,080 In Mexico in 2020 in Acapulco, a statue of Jesus was reported to have blood from the 237 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,080 forehead. 238 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,960 This incident drew significant attention from locals in the media. 239 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,920 Those are some of the most recent and some of the most notable weeping statues include 240 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,360 and these are huge ones. 241 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:59,440 Lady of Akita in Japan, which is from a town of the same name, where a statue of the Virgin 242 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:05,400 Mary wept, perspired and bled from the right hand in what appeared to be a cross shaped 243 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,400 wound. 244 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:13,600 This case passed a rigorous investigation by local scientists and the local diocesan authorities 245 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,240 and the Vatican. 246 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,240 Diases. 247 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,240 It says diocesan. 248 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,240 So it must be dioceses. 249 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,240 Okay. 250 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,240 Diasesan, baby. 251 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,240 Okay. 252 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,240 And the Vatican. 253 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:30,600 The phenomenon are associated with Stigmata and the three apparitions of the Virgin Mary 254 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,640 received by a deaf Japanese Roman Catholic nun, sister Agnes Sasagawa. 255 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:42,480 This one was also broadcast on live television for a lot of Japan to tune in and I think 256 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:49,120 Stigmata would be kind of a cool thing to maybe do a podcast episode on, I don't know, 257 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:56,560 because it's so religious, but Stigmata is the bleeding, I guess. 258 00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:57,560 I'm making this up. 259 00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,040 I'm not even looking this up. 260 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,440 The wounds of Jesus when he was on the cross. 261 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,440 Yeah, it's not. 262 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,760 Yeah, it's the, oh, what do they call it? 263 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,600 The somethings of the cross. 264 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,800 The crown of thorns on his forehead. 265 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Yeah. 266 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,800 And what's the third one? 267 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:14,800 There's the third one. 268 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,800 There's the lashings. 269 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,800 Isn't it seven? 270 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,800 That is seven. 271 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,440 I don't know where I got three from. 272 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,480 I'm just going off this of memory. 273 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,200 Hold on, let's find it out. 274 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,200 Brought it up a few times. 275 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,080 We might as well tell you guys what Stigmata is. 276 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,560 Utterly wounds, scars and pain which occurs in locations corresponding to the crucifixion 277 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,920 wounds of Jesus. 278 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,920 That's it. 279 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,520 The hands, wrists, feet near the heart, the head, the crown of thorns and the back from 280 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,760 carrying the cross and... 281 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,760 That's right. 282 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,280 The last one's the spear in the heart. 283 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,280 Right. 284 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,280 Yes. 285 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,400 I know that's because of the horror movie. 286 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,400 The movie, Stigmata. 287 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,400 Yeah. 288 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,400 Oh yeah. 289 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,840 It was not a bad movie. 290 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,320 Next of the notable sightings is Christ of the Tears Bolivia. 291 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,680 And this is from the Chapel of the Christ of the Tears of St. Peter, the statue of Christ 292 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:13,040 that has repeatedly shed tears of blood every good Friday since 1995 and it attracts thousands 293 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,200 of worshippers annually. 294 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,120 It also has one of the most, I think it's the biggest statue of Jesus, not to be confused 295 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,040 with one that's crying, but they also have one of the biggest statues of Jesus there. 296 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Hereby to this, but this guy, he cries annually tears of blood. 297 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,440 And then lastly, in 1995, a Madonna statue appeared to weep blood in the town of Civita 298 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:44,080 Vecchia in Italy, where about 60 witnesses testified to witnessing the phenomenon. 299 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,720 And the local bishop said that he himself had seen a weep blood on the statue was later 300 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,720 found to be male. 301 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,960 I don't know what that has to do with Madonna. 302 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,720 Wait, the blood was male? 303 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,720 Yeah. 304 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,720 How can you tell? 305 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,720 I don't know. 306 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,360 I mean, we can do a lot with DNA now. 307 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,800 I don't know about 1995. 308 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:07,920 No, but like, if it's just red blood cells, like red blood cells don't have DNA, but 309 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,760 I guess there's other stuff in there. 310 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,760 Okay. 311 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,760 Never mind. 312 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,760 I don't know. 313 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,320 I don't know. 314 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,240 Take your word for that. 315 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:24,120 So most, if not all of these weeping statues are associated with other kind of paranormal 316 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:31,400 things, including miraculous healing, Mary and apparitions, which are sightings of Mary, 317 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:38,360 some sort of angels and miracles, and eventually pilgrimages, of course, as a result of the 318 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,840 weeping, which came up a little bit, I mean, this is going to draw people to it that there's, 319 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,240 you know, some religious icon that is crying tears of blood. 320 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:55,120 Folks, perhaps in 1985, a statue in Montreal was reported to be weeping and bleeding. 321 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,120 However, it turned out that the statue was smeared with the owner's blood and shaving 322 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,120 cream. 323 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360 Of all things, Montreal is a weird place. 324 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:10,280 In 2008, Kurt Custodian Vincenzo DiConstanzo went on trial in northern Italy for faking 325 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:16,080 blood on the statue of the Virgin Mary when his own DNA was matched to the blood. 326 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,560 Would they match it to the blood? 327 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,040 Like was his blood already on file or did he agree to a DNA test? 328 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,040 Yeah, that's one of those awkward things with 23 and me, like anybody who's done a 329 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,040 test, the police have that shit. 330 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,040 They do. 331 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,040 Yeah. 332 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,040 That's the awkward thing. 333 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,720 Like you do a murder. 334 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,840 And then they're like, oh, you shouldn't have done 23 and me as well. 335 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:44,240 In 2018, at our Lady Guadalupe Catholic Church in Hobbes, New Mexico, a Mary statue was reported 336 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,840 to be producing tears. 337 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:52,560 In July of that year, the Catholic diocese of Las Cruces revealed the test confirmed 338 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,120 the tears in fact had the chemical composition of rose scented olive oil. 339 00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:02,680 While it has been said that it's fairly easy to hoax of bleeding statue, there are those 340 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:08,240 that remain unexplained, are less that have been reported, of course, and given the large 341 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,160 amount of paranormal happenings associated with the weeping statues, there may be something 342 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,280 more to it. 343 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,160 A small amount of the time? 344 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,280 It is weird that it's only happening in the Catholic statue. 345 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,920 So I know, isn't that weird? 346 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,920 Next topic, Bleeding House of Atlanta. 347 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,440 That's the next bleeding thing. 348 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,920 Atlanta police have been called just after midnight by a woman claiming what looked 349 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:38,520 like blood was coming out of the floor at her home at 1114 Fountain Drive. 350 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,520 That's fountain of blood. 351 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,520 I'd like that. 352 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,880 That's a good road to live on to this. 353 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,640 In the late 1980s, elderly couple William and Minnie Winston lived in a small private 354 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,840 house in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 355 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,040 Bleeding in their life was calm and normal, except that William had diseased kidneys and 356 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:03,400 was connected to a dialysis machine every day, which he really did not like and why 357 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,640 he was often out of sorts. 358 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,640 Ir enough, William. 359 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:13,560 Late in the evening of September 8th, 1987, 77 year old Minnie Winston took a bath, dried 360 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,000 herself with a towel, and as she was getting ready to leave the bathroom, she noticed a 361 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,320 red spot on the floor. 362 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,720 It looked like blood, but Minnie was sure there were no wounds on her body where it could 363 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,880 leak. 364 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,520 The blood could leak out. 365 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,520 And when she looked around the entire bathroom, she found another red spot. 366 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,600 This time on the wall, red liquid slowly flowed from it down to the floor. 367 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,080 Ew, that's disgusting. 368 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,400 Minnie jumped out of the bathroom and saw bloody streaks on the floor and the hallway 369 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,120 smeared on the tiles. 370 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:50,320 I'd be looking for my husband. 371 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,160 She immediately thought that something had happened to her husband. 372 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,160 Okay. 373 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,000 And that the blood might have leaked during dialysis. 374 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,680 However, when she woke up William, 79, there were no sources of bleeding on his body. 375 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,040 There was no blood on her near the dialysis machine. 376 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,600 The frightened couple walked around all six rooms of the house and found bloody stains 377 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,560 on the floor in almost every room. 378 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,760 Her house was old, brick and very strong. 379 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,200 They had lived there for 22 years and until now nothing unusual has happened in the house. 380 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,280 They had no pets. 381 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,400 They had never seen rats, mice, or other possible pets. 382 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,920 They didn't know what to do and finally decided to just go to bed. 383 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,920 I would call the cops, I think. 384 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,920 I love you, aunt. 385 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,920 Let's just sleep on it. 386 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,040 Yeah, let's just go to bed. 387 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,400 There's a disturbing amount of blood, but I was expecting this house to have such an 388 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,320 old person response to. 389 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,640 Let's just ignore it and they'll go away. 390 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,520 The next morning, the blood on the floor and walls had not gone away and there even seemed 391 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,680 to be more of it. 392 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,760 The Winston's decided to call the police. 393 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,760 Here we go. 394 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,800 Please search the house and indeed found copious amounts of blood in the bathroom, kitchen, 395 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,440 living room, bedroom, hallways, and even the basement. 396 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,680 They found no evidence that the person had been attacked. 397 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,400 They declared the Winston house a crime scene and surrounded it with yellow tape. 398 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240 People was allowed to stay inside them. 399 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,880 Blood samples were collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis. 400 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,160 First of all, in order to determine whether it is human blood at all, soon the answer 401 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,560 came that yes. 402 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,760 Moreover, it was type zero. 403 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,120 Is there a type zero? 404 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,120 Type O, type O. 405 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:30,120 They mean O? 406 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:32,600 Yeah, I think they mean O. 407 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,920 Both the Winston's had type A blood. 408 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,920 Is it? 409 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,640 Do you find it odd? 410 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,920 If we can speculate on it at this point, every time we've come up when they test it 411 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,920 is type O. 412 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,760 Twice, yes, it has been type O. 413 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,960 The two times, I guess, is technically how you can guess. 414 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,800 I'm going to call it type zero from now on. 415 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:49,800 Okay. 416 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,800 Oh, you have type zero blood. 417 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:59,000 Yes, it might be weird that the paranormal does O's zero blood. 418 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,520 The blood of the paranormal, I guess. 419 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,080 According to Detective Steve Cartwright, who led the case, it worked in the police force 420 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:11,760 for more than 10 years up to that point, but never encountered such an oddity. 421 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,120 This examined the house again, but in the end, they still found nothing more. 422 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,000 A few days later, the story hit the press in a crowd of onlookers and journalists locked 423 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,120 to the house. 424 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:25,720 Also psychics who offered their services, believing that something supernatural was involved. 425 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:31,280 I love that part of these stories where they're not asked to show up at all, but men to the 426 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,320 psychics show up for all of these things. 427 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,040 Oh yeah, and you got to believe the Warrens were there. 428 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,040 Yeah. 429 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,040 Just looking for a name. 430 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,400 Oh, them and their prime right there. 431 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:47,000 And a group of five enthusiastic skeptics was formed who decided to get to the bottom 432 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000 of this phenomenon at all costs. 433 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Were the costs? 434 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:58,560 They were Joe Nicol, Larry Johnson, Rick Moen, and Rebecca Long, who were later joined by 435 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:04,320 Lieutenant G Walker, who was on the original team of investigators on the case. 436 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,360 At some point, they managed to get a police report from the inspection of the house, which 437 00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:11,720 contained color photos of bloody stains. 438 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,480 Last these photos are not available on the internet. 439 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,480 Alas. 440 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,200 But no further breakthroughs happened. 441 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,920 Lieutenant Walker believed that there is no poltergeist intervention, as psychics believed. 442 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,320 Assume that something criminal had happened in the house. 443 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,280 He also did not rule out that the spouse could have been persuaded to commit a hoax by promising 444 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,840 the money or something else. 445 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,800 Walker then discovered that the Winston's daughter worked at the hospital at St. Perce 446 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,840 and had access to blood donations. 447 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,440 According to this theory, the daughter could deliberately stage a bloody show in order to 448 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:52,120 make her parents look crazy and so that they would be recognized as incompetent. 449 00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:54,200 Then the daughter would get their house for herself. 450 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,320 Okay, I mean, that's a lot of pain to go through to just get the house. 451 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,320 Yeah. 452 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,360 These skeptics, I'm not a huge fan of how far they had to stretch the story. 453 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,440 Oh no, they stretched it pretty far. 454 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,600 Although I do agree, if you're going to fake this, you gotta have somebody else's blood, 455 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,840 because the first thing you're gonna do is check your blood. 456 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,240 Well, of course, we saw that with the statues. 457 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,480 Any layman's gonna know that. 458 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,800 And why don't we get to hear from the psychics? 459 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,000 Why are we taking the sides of this, like, shot-ally put together skeptical group? 460 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,000 Good question. 461 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,440 That wanted to disprove it at all costs. 462 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,440 At all costs, yeah. 463 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,440 That's what they did. 464 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,880 They probably spent like fifty dollars on it. 465 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,880 Yeah. 466 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,880 Upwards of seventy. 467 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,880 Oh yeah. 468 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,880 Who believes them? 469 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,200 Like, at all costs, like, get out of here, group of skeptics. 470 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,000 Walker considered this version very plausible. 471 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,520 What was it, the daughter? 472 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:50,160 Yeah, the daughter getting blood from the hospital and stealing the house. 473 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,960 Could you imagine? 474 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,160 That's a good maid for TV. 475 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:00,360 Yes, to me, like, more at all costs than what the skeptics are doing, and they said at all 476 00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,960 costs for the skeptics. 477 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,600 So maybe the skeptics did it. 478 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,600 They said all costs. 479 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,600 Yeah, you know what? 480 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,280 They were looking for anybody else other than the skeptics to blame. 481 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,080 That is a good point. 482 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,200 We just fucking solved this. 483 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:17,200 Walker considered this version very plausible, the one we just said, of course, as he found 484 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,480 out that there had been a long stand as serious conflicts between the Winston's and their 485 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,480 daughter. 486 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,200 However, he was removed from the case long ago, and the official investigation quickly 487 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,680 reached a dead end, and the case was simply closed. 488 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,080 A police spokesman later admitted that they still do not understand where the blood came 489 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,080 from. 490 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,080 Huh. 491 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,280 So, yeah, it is actually unfortunate that none of the psychics got to give an answer. 492 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,280 I know. 493 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,160 This article quickly took the side of the skeptics, and I'm not a fan of that. 494 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,400 All we got from what the paranormal people said was about the poltergeist. 495 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,760 They didn't think it was poltergeist. 496 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,280 Which, if I'm thinking about it, and it's paranormal, it's probably going to be poltergeist. 497 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,280 Yeah. 498 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,280 God, thank. 499 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,680 They're the ones causing all sorts of shit. 500 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,280 Well, and there was no sighting, so if it was paranormal, it's probably poltergeist. 501 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,280 Oh no, there was no sightings. 502 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,480 Either that, or there's some sort of murder up in their house. 503 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,480 I don't know. 504 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,000 I'm not an expert. 505 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,400 Next up, Bleeding Walls. 506 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,320 Which I got a lot more hits out of than I thought I would. 507 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,760 First Bleeding Wall Up, The Talman House. 508 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:26,520 Residents of an ordinary home in Horikon, Wisconsin, I don't know what their name is, 509 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,560 Horikon, found themselves the victim of a very strange thing indeed. 510 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,360 A haunted bunk bed. 511 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:36,680 That's not a fucking wall, that's a bunk bed. 512 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,680 No. 513 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,680 Maybe it's a Murphy bed. 514 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,320 Hey, you just solved it. 515 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,880 A Murphy bunk bed. 516 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,160 According to Cult of Weird, in 1988, this family suffered through nine months of intense 517 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,880 paranormal activity after purchasing a used bunk bed, including spectral apparitions. 518 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,800 They ultimately fled their home, but not before rumors of even stranger things, including 519 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,880 bleeding walls spread through their neighborhood. 520 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,380 What? 521 00:27:02,380 --> 00:27:06,280 Why not just get rid of the fucking bunk bed if you think it's a bunk bed? 522 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,760 Did they take a mortgage out on the bunk bed? 523 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,280 Like they couldn't afford to not have it. 524 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,680 We're never gonna know. 525 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:20,960 Next up, Mary Knoll Seminary, since knock down, legend has it, oh, since I guess it 526 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,960 was. 527 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,240 It has since been knocked down, yeah. 528 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:30,080 Legend has it that Mary Knoll Seminary in Illinois was once haunted by the spirit of 529 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,560 a monk. 530 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,400 According to the Shadowlands, he hung himself in the bell tower. 531 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,840 After his death, along with unexplained noises, there were reports of fresh blood oozing down 532 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,240 the tower's exterior. 533 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,880 Oh, that one's spooky. 534 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,760 See, that one's what you want for Halloween. 535 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,800 Fresh blood oozing down the tower. 536 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,160 House. 537 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600 The house on Brownsville Road. 538 00:27:53,600 --> 00:28:00,280 A Pittsburgh family was allegedly tormented by a demonic entity known as the Demon of 539 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,880 Brownsville Road. 540 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,400 They reported bleeding walls, among other things. 541 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,720 That's the end of that one. 542 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,720 We said walls. 543 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,720 You got it. 544 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,720 That's all we're here for. 545 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,600 It was bleeding walls, of course. 546 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,320 No other details. 547 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,320 And it was hit really early on in that sentence. 548 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,480 The San Pedro Haunting. 549 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:25,720 Family in San Pedro, California experienced what they believed to be a particularly violent 550 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,240 poltergeist. 551 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,760 Physical attacks and even attempted hanging are just two of the more extreme phenomena 552 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,920 they suffered back in the late 1980s. 553 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:41,320 Relievant to our interest here, they also encountered a mysterious red ooze that seemed 554 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,560 to drip down from their cupboards and other places. 555 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,920 It was later reportedly confirmed to be human blood plasma. 556 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,640 And next one, horror at the Winston House. 557 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,400 Perhaps the strangest incident involving bleeding walls occurred at the Winston House, also 558 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,920 in the late 1980s, which was the time for bleeding walls. 559 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,160 In the September 11, 1987 issue of the Register Guard newspaper, there appeared the curious 560 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,200 headline, bleeding house besieged. 561 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,920 It told the story of William and Minnie Winston. 562 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,400 Oh, this is the guys again. 563 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,920 Let's see what it has to say. 564 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,200 I didn't even know I made it in twice. 565 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,640 Oh no, it was a bleeding house and then they came back up for the walls. 566 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,640 But it was clearly just floor. 567 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,520 I only have two topics. 568 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:34,440 Anyhow, they contacted police after discovering blood throughout their home. 569 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,720 According to the Register Guard, it reported finding blood on the floors and walls of the 570 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,920 house they had rented for 22 years. 571 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,240 Lab tests confirmed it was human blood. 572 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,760 Wait, they rented it? 573 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,440 I missed that in the last one. 574 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,880 So the daughter wanted to rent the house according to the skeptics. 575 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,920 Maybe it was rent controls. 576 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,840 In fucking, where is it? 577 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,080 It was in Georgia, I think. 578 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,800 Oh, yes, somewhere where it's not rent controlled. 579 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:09,640 Millie Winston made first contact with the mysterious pools of blood after stepping out 580 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,840 of her bathtub in September 8. 581 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,200 After investigating, police would later find blood in the bathroom, kitchen, living room, 582 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,440 bedroom, and halls nearly anywhere, everywhere, and yet no explanation for its existence could 583 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,000 be found. 584 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,040 History would also appear in the New York Times and believe it or not, it remains a mystery. 585 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,800 I was really hoping by continuing to read they would have said something about the 586 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,800 psychics. 587 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,480 But last, they did not. 588 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:39,600 So these cases are all interesting and all, but the truth is, paranormal or not, having 589 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,480 anything ooze out of your wall is troubling to say the least. 590 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,480 What would you do if you just saw blood oozing out of your wall? 591 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,360 And that's a good thing to bring up at this point, because I might have to sleep on it. 592 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,400 I feel like first I'd wipe it. 593 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,800 Yeah, yeah, you first you wipe it, but then it comes back. 594 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,440 Do you smell it? 595 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,040 To see like, hey, what is this? 596 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,440 No, I probably would. 597 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,760 I'm not going to lie. 598 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,480 I would definitely smell it. 599 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,480 Nobody's watching me. 600 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,480 Not recording a blog. 601 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,000 Do you look both ways and then smell it? 602 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,000 Maybe. 603 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,480 I'm sure nobody's watching me. 604 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,480 I don't taste it though. 605 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,480 I don't know. 606 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,840 Do you call a contractor? 607 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,040 Do you call a plumber in thinking that you like hit a line of something? 608 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,840 I'm going to be honest. 609 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,840 I wipe it. 610 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:26,840 It's back. 611 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,480 It may be smell what I wiped. 612 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,400 I call it for a second opinion and I go from there. 613 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,440 I think that's how it plays out. 614 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,440 Okay. 615 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,440 I call my brother. 616 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,440 That's reasonable. 617 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,120 This time, what do you think this is? 618 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,680 Then he'll ask me if I smelled it. 619 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:50,120 And then if I wiped it first and then if I smelled it, then I'm not sure. 620 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,920 And I'm heavily relying on the second opinion at that point. 621 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:54,920 But I should do. 622 00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:00,040 Anyhow, sometimes a mysterious goo has an ordinary explanation. 623 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,440 They're fact and leaching. 624 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,600 This happens when humidity causes paint ingredients to drip down your wall. 625 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,680 Fairly normal, I guess. 626 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,680 Ever happened to me. 627 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:15,840 You know what has happened to me though is I lived in an apartment where there were smokers 628 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,840 before me. 629 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:23,560 Oh, it did look like it was bleeding from like the top of the walls of all the like nicotine 630 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,560 grossness. 631 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,560 Interesting. 632 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:31,200 And I have seen stories too of bees making hives in walls and then honey leaking from 633 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,200 the walls. 634 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,880 I mean, you can't hope for a better option that it's honey. 635 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,360 I'm a dumb. And in which case smelling is probably going to solve your problem right 636 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,360 there. 637 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,360 But also the implications of bees living in your walls, I think is actually worse than 638 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,400 just like a, I don't know, a paranormal blood leaking from it. 639 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,400 What would you prefer? 640 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,680 Probably the bloody walls. 641 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,600 Like that's an infestation I don't want to have to deal with. 642 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,600 Bees. 643 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,280 Yeah, but the blood is a different kind of an offense. 644 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,360 Either way, you have some troubles. 645 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,720 Okay, so that, that, that. 646 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,720 Fairly normal. 647 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,800 Other times the cause is far more grisly. 648 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,600 Say a decomposing body. 649 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:16,760 As the Daily News reported in 2015, an Oklahoma man discovered his kitchen was bleeding much 650 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,120 to his dismay. 651 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,240 Yep, that's the first thought if you see it bleeding. 652 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,640 When police arrived to investigate, they discovered the terrible truth. 653 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,280 His upstairs neighbor had died of natural causes, hit their head and their blood had 654 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,040 oozed down to the apartment below. 655 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,920 That's fucking disturbing. 656 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,960 And that ends the podcast. 657 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,640 That was a beautiful note to end on. 658 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,640 Hold on, I think. 659 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,640 Let me scroll down. 660 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:43,640 No, that was for sure it. 661 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,840 Yeah, and I guess that's the true real worst case scenario of bleeding walls is there's 662 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,840 a body. 663 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:56,520 No, no, that's definitely a worst case scenario of that. 664 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,960 In which case, maybe you shouldn't be smelling your walls if they're bleeding. 665 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,640 And in which case too, maybe we should be checking the inside of these statues. 666 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:10,040 Oh my God, maybe there's far darker implications of this. 667 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,040 Are darker. 668 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,800 Well, and with those implications, I have been Taylor here with Chelsea, both of whom 669 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:21,320 I assume are hopefully bleeding internally the right way that we've discussed. 670 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,000 We are journey to the fringe. 671 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,000 Thank you all for listening. 672 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000 We'll see you next week. 673 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000 Bye. 674 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,480 Thank you for listening to Journey to the Fringe. 675 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:37,560 If you have liked what you have listened to, please like, share, subscribe, or follow, 676 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,800 depending on what venue you are listening to us through. 677 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:46,960 Also please, if possible, leave a five star review as that really helps us in the algorithms. 678 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,800 Should you wish to interact with us, please check us out on your social media of choice. 679 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,520 I bet you we are there. 680 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,000 And if you really want to communicate with us and give us ideas for new episodes or tell 681 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,920 us that we're wrong and terrible, either way, please send us an email at journeytothefringeatgmail.com. 682 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:26,720 For now, I'll see you in the next episode.
