1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,720 Welcome to Splendid Spirits. I'm your host, Gary, along with 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,600 my nephew John Santa from Santa Paranormal, where we try to make 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,840 sense of the question, what are spirits? 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,720 Today we're spending veteran's day in the quiet cemetery 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,920 watching John do something he's been doing for years, cleaning 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800 the headstones of the forgotten. This one belongs to a soldier. 7 00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:24,040 In his work documenting ghosts at cemeteries, John comes across 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,000 the graves of servicemen and women, while mainly men because 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,920 the cemeteries he frequents hold the remains of Civil and 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,920 Evolutionary War vets who were predominantly male. 11 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:34,840 There's a different dynamic to it. 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,840 Duty, sacrifice, the need to share their story, but there's 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,000 also pride and peace. As John restores this headstone, 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,880 we'll talk about his process, how and why he started doing 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,000 this, and what he feels when he connects with spirits while 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,080 doing this, especially the soldiers. 17 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,600 Again, it's Veteran's Day and cleaning the headstone is just a 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,640 small service John provides and thanks for theirs. 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,840 Let's dive into the conversation. 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,240 Let's let the spirit box run for a minute. 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,600 Make sure it's not drowning out the sound. 22 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:14,960 It's going now, is it? Is it overpowering or is it 23 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:17,600 good? It's OK, I don't mind it. 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,920 I don't think anybody minds it. When the spirit boxes are, we 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,160 hear ghosts coming through. Well, sometimes when we talk it 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,880 could be conflicting if it's too close and too loud, so. 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,760 All right, Well, we'll we'll see how it goes. 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,800 We have to move the speaker. It's fine, Mr. Dave. 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,800 Hey, John. What's up, man? 30 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,400 Where? Where? 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,200 Where are you today? So we are at a local seminary 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,600 here in New York in a section that I never ever really head 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,520 down to, which is the veteran section. 34 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,000 And the reason for that is there's a lot of newer graves 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,160 here, but there's also a lot of older ones as well. 36 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,080 It's a good mix. We are currently at the Civil 37 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,880 War Monument where a bunch of Civil War veterans are buried. 38 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120 So there's a lot of, So these are all Civil War veterans from 39 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,039 the area, Obviously, yes. What's what are some of the 40 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:13,880 dates on those? So I mean, we're looking at 1913 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,600 nineteen O 9. I can't see the one in front of 42 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,920 us that we're about to clean. What else do we got here? 43 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,120 And then some have no dates. And I believe the ones that have 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,480 no dates on them were actually ones that died during the Civil 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,720 War. I mean, there's even a couple of 46 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,600 unknown headstones here. So like, you know, people that 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,840 they couldn't identify. So, John, you do a lot of 48 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,600 soldiers. Yeah, you find a lot of them. 49 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,240 Especially, especially here in New York, I come across a lot of 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Civil War soldiers, and that's because this New York supplied 51 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,680 the most men for the Civil War, had the most casualties and a 52 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,080 lot of these. No kidding, I didn't know that. 53 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,080 Is that true? That's very true. 54 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,240 So when we went to Gettysburg, all we kept coming across were 55 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,640 New York monuments to all the volunteer, the infantry, the you 56 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,840 know, all there were just tons of them because there were so 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,600 many different volunteer groups from New York. 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,520 Gettysburg Gettysburg, PA is full of monuments to soldiers 59 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,880 from New York. That's I, I, I actually didn't 60 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,440 know that. That's it. 61 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,000 That's yeah. I didn't realize that either. 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,200 What made me realize that is when I realized how many Civil 63 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,560 War headstones there are. And I'm like, why do we have so 64 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,360 many in New York? The war never touched New York, 65 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,600 and that's the reason. Do you feel you have any sort of 66 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,160 special connection to to the military or to these soldiers 67 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,360 when you're out there? Did you treat it differently or 68 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,040 what's what do you? What attracts you to it? 69 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680 So I don't, I don't treat them differently. 70 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,080 I treat them like every other, you know, spirit I would deal 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,120 with. However, it seems that when I do 72 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:03,280 come across a soldier, they do seem more open to speaking to 73 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,840 me. And I, I don't, I don't that I 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,200 don't know why. Maybe it's because of what 75 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,240 they've dealt with and what they've seen. 76 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,400 And you know, they're a little more above average than your 77 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,360 average spirit in that regards. So. 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,320 And what what emotions tend to come through from them? 79 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,280 Like do you find? Is it pride or sadness or a 80 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,080 sense of duty or confusion? Like what? 81 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,040 What do you usually? Get you know what it is, it's 82 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,880 usually them just talking about it. 83 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:34,320 It's almost like they just want to like tell their story rather 84 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,960 than they're like, you know, like being mentally affected by 85 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,280 it still. It's almost like they've come to 86 00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,800 peace with it, you know, for the reasons they served and the 87 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,960 reasons they went through what they went through and they, they 88 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,400 just want to speak about it in my, in my opinion and like from 89 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,520 what I've come. Across. 90 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080 Sure, of course. I mean, yeah, we like, we're 91 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,320 talking about your opinion. Have you ever felt like a 92 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,800 collective energy when you're in an area like that? 93 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,240 Like you talk a lot about feeling that vibration, that 94 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,080 jello feeling when you're in a situation where you are going to 95 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,440 buy a monument like that, Is it different than anyone? 96 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Else, Nope, no, no. Gettysburg felt different. 97 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,280 You know Gettysburg. Did. 98 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,560 Gettysburg did as a whole, but as far as like here, no. 99 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,240 Do you, do you feel that they that the spirits of soldiers 100 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,280 like, seem aware, more aware of other spirits in the area? 101 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,520 No, OK, no, except, except I will say this one in particular 102 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:44,080 that I've dealt with, he had one in one spirit in particular that 103 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,760 I dealt with. Mr. Churchwell seemed to have 104 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:53,040 almost like spirits around him that were very vocal, some 105 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,680 almost like protective if you will, so that. 106 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,480 But what other ones? I haven't noticed that. 107 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,920 And Churchwell, see, he's one of the one of your first right like 108 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,600 to come through. It's. 109 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Time in this whole process. Yeah, not one of my first, but 110 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,960 one of the more popular, yeah. So we're going to do, we're 111 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,840 going to do a little grave cleaning today and. 112 00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:18,000 On, on. We're going to have to give one 113 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,280 second. Wait a minute. 114 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,320 We're going to be we're this is going to happen a bit every now 115 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,320 and then. We're going to have to repeat 116 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:29,440 ourselves and I'll explain why, OK? 117 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:32,720 Groundskeepers.

So all right, we're going to do 122 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,400 a little, We're going to do what something you've become very 123 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,400 popular for which I don't think we've really focused on in the 124 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,080 podcast yet, which is cleaning headstones. 125 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,600 Cleaning headstones, Yeah. And being, you know, when we're 126 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,080 going to do it for one of these soldiers today, which I find, 127 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,120 you know, you don't just clean the headstones. 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,880 Sometimes you repair flags, right? 129 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,600 You do all that. You make sure that they look 130 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,400 good. I, I make sure they look good. 131 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,760 So like, for example, like like this one right here, like if you 132 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,520 look at it, the flags a little above, you know, you can see it, 133 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,680 it's like above and it's leading. 134 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,160 So we'll make sure that's as straight as possible. 135 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,360 You know, we'll, we'll just make it look good. 136 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,320 We're going to make the whole little area look good and clean 137 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,720 that. What what made you decide to 138 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480 start cleaning headstones in the first place? 139 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,800 So it was actually just as simple as me communicating with 140 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,360 spirits and go into these same spirits all the time and then 141 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,040 looking at their headstones and going, this headstone is dirty. 142 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,440 And then I just started started cleaning it. 143 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,160 That's that's as simple as it was. 144 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,040 It was like, you know what, let me let me clean your headstones. 145 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,800 Maybe you care, maybe you don't. And come to find out, a lot of 146 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,120 them care. That's amazing and I want to 147 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,760 hear about that for in a second. So it's you just so you found a 148 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,640 dirty headstone, you decided to clean it. 149 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,280 Did you do any sort of like what? 150 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Local. Prep What preparation did you 151 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600 make to clean a headstone? Did you know about how to clean 152 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,280 a headstone? Did. 153 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,880 You like, yeah, I have. I have years and years of 154 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,280 contracting experience, especially with outdoor stuff. 155 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,400 I've worked for a lot of very wealthy, wealthy people that 156 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,320 have a lot of wealthy stuff outside statues, you know, 157 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,960 artwork and things like that. And, you know, I would always be 158 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,960 contracted to handle the outdoor work. 159 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,679 So I, I've cleaned, I've cleaned outdoor stuff that is a lot more 160 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,960 expensive than a headstone. Let's just put it that time. 161 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,480 So and. And. 162 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,799 This was second nature. No, no. 163 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,720 OK, so that that's that's just so then what is what is your 164 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,160 prep for cleaning when you look at it? 165 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,760 Do you ever look at a stone and be like, you know what? 166 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,760 I shouldn't touch this. Way it looks too fragile. 167 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,720 So for for 1st is the material the stones made out of. 168 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,240 If it's a sandstone headstone, those are those classic like 169 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,600 brown headstones that have like the skulls on them and all like 170 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,440 the also school designs. When you think of like Sleepy 171 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,600 Hollow or like like a lot of old headstones, you'll see it like 172 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,920 Home Depot or whatever, like the mock props are modeled after 173 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,840 these. These are sandstone headstones. 174 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,080 I don't touch them. They fall apart very easy. 175 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,880 Most of the ones you come across are already falling apart. 176 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,920 So if it's a sandstone headstone, I stay away from it. 177 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,520 There are ways to clean those though, but I I stay away from 178 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,080 them for the most part All right. 179 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,400 The second thing I look for is structural the structural damage 180 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,080 to the stone. So I give it a little shake, 181 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,880 shake, you know, I see, I see, you know, if it's going to 182 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,280 topple over while I'm cleaning it. 183 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,160 And then if that's good, the next thing I do is I take my 184 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,920 hand and I just rub it along along the face. 185 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,720 And I make sure that my hand going back and forth isn't going 186 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,160 to knock off any of the lettering or any of the OR 187 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,920 anything. Make sure nothing flakes off it 188 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,040 that's not supposed to flake. And then once it passes those, 189 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,000 you know, once that's it, then we, we, you know, it passes the 190 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,080 test and I can clean the stone. And what are your tools to clean 191 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,760 a stone? Just two basic brushes. 192 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,680 You know, I don't use any metal brushes or anything like that. 193 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,520 They're always like the Poly nylon. 194 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,080 You know, your regular brush you would clean a stove with or like 195 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,960 your kitchen with or a bathroom with. 196 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,520 OK, but it's light scrubbing. That's the thing. 197 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,200 You have to scrub light. You can't scrub heavy with 198 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,280 these. OK, I've heard you say this 100 199 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:30,520 times. You just use a little bit of 200 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,160 dawn and water. That's it, just a little bit 201 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,560 dawn and water. Because the dog just breaks the 202 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,360 oil apart or dirt off and that's. 203 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,320 Everything. It literally is amazing. 204 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,560 Like what Dawn does. It really is like, yeah, sponsor 205 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:48,680 me, Dawn. I know, right? 206 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,480 I mean, it's true. It's not just for baby ducks 207 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,880 anymore, you know. Oh my God, that's funny. 208 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,200 And you know, and here's something that's funny too. 209 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,960 I've heard people, and I've seen people in the chat, when you're 210 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,800 doing this, comment on this and critique it. 211 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,640 Why do you clean the stone from the bottom up and not the top 212 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,560 down? Everybody's instinct is to go 213 00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,880 top down. Everybody's instinct is to go 214 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,560 top down. So again, going back to my old 215 00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,800 contracting days and not just contracting days when I was a 216 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,600 volunteer firefighter, when we're when we're cleaning 217 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,320 anything, you always want to go from the bottom to the top 218 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,200 because if you start from the top, all the suds are going to 219 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,520 rush down and you might miss a spot. 220 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,080 Cleaning from the bottom up ensures that you get every spot 221 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760 on whatever you're cleaning, whether it's a fire truck, 222 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000 whether it's a statue, whether it's a headstone. 223 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,920 That is so, I mean, it's what's funny is that it's such a clean 224 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,320 explanation that you never rethink about, you know, it's 225 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,720 OK. That makes a lot of sense. 226 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,640 That makes a lot of sense. So when you're out there, John, 227 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,120 and you're doing this and you're got the spirit box going, do you 228 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,520 find it? Do you feel it more as a ritual 229 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160 in a weird way or a restoration project? 230 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Both. Both and and and a personal 231 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,640 ritual. I feel very at peace when doing 232 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,640 this. Like I could have the most 233 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,840 stressful day going and then all the sudden I'll start cleaning a 234 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,080 headstone and it literally all just everything disappears. 235 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040 It's just me and the stone. Sometimes I even forget I'm 236 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,720 recording or I'm live, you know, like it's everything just 237 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,320 disappears. And, and, and you can see this 238 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,360 when a spirit says something and I act shocked about it, like, 239 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,320 like, what did you say? Because I forget what I'm doing. 240 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,320 I just get in the zone like tunnel vision if you will. 241 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,760 Right. Sure. 242 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,640 And what's the most moving headstone you've ever worked on? 243 00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:00,280 I would have to say it's the children that come through that 244 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,960 speak about how nobody visits them and how they're alone and 245 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,320 they can't find their family. That's happened to me a couple 246 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,680 of times. So it's it's it's usually the 247 00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:10,160 children got. It got it. 248 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,080 Have you ever had a spirit be ungrateful? 249 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,880 Yes. I've cleaned I I don't even know 250 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,720 how many headstones I've cleaned to date. 251 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,960 Like I can't even think about the number but I've had two that 252 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,440 have did not want me cleaning their headstone. 253 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:34,520 Funny enough they were uncle and nephew and I had no idea. 254 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,320 I had no idea but they were uncle and nephew and night and 255 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,280 and months apart. We're talking almost a year 256 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160 apart from each other. Neither of them wanted me 257 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,240 cleaning their headstone like this. 258 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,720 You mean you mean months apart in their death? 259 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,680 No, no, months apart from the cleaning. 260 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,400 Oh, from the cleaning, Yeah, got it. 261 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,640 Got it. Months apart from the cleaning. 262 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,440 And they they want another. What did they say to you? 263 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,000 They basically you could start to hear it. 264 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,960 They, they don't want me there, you know, leave, go away, you 265 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,000 know, stop doing this, you know, things like that. 266 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,760 And then it's like, OK, you know, like. 267 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,760 Did you stop or did you clean it anyway? 268 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,560 Well, so no, I stopped each time. 269 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,920 Oh, well, you know what? It depends if you ask the 270 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,280 Internet, because if you go to those videos that were both of 271 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,360 them went viral, you know, people were like, you should 272 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,160 have stopped immediately. And I'm like, so you want me to 273 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,200 leave the soapy suds on the headstone, You know? 274 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,000 No, I'm going to rinse this off and then walk away from it. 275 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,120 Like, so In my eyes, I stopped. In other's eyes, not so much. 276 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,360 It depends. On you, Yeah, You can't you 277 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,880 can't you? Can't win them. 278 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,880 Off Did it feel different having spirits not want you there? 279 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,200 No. No. 280 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,960 No, it was just like, OK, the only thing, the only thing that 281 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,840 that that does suck is I wish I didn't waste my time with that 282 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,680 one. And I and I cleaned and I 283 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,320 cleaned one that wanted it, you know, like that's the only 284 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,280 thing. But other than that, no, it 285 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,760 doesn't feel any different. Do you? 286 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:12,440 Is the act of cleaning a headstone business create more 287 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,000 dialogue than when you don't? Do you feel like when you do 288 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,240 that you have a better interaction with Spirit? 289 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,960 No, no, because there's been like, for example, like 290 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,920 yesterday I cleaned the headstone and nothing came 291 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,120 through. Just a regular spirit chatter. 292 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,000 No, thank you. There's no, hey, he's cleaning, 293 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,400 you know, nothing like that. It was just regular. 294 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,760 It's interesting, it's a, it's, it's interesting the kind of 295 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,400 energy but and do you feel, but you feel like children might 296 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,240 respond more when you're there because you're giving. 297 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,160 Attention. Versus a soldier. 298 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,240 No, so, so it's interesting with children, with the children, you 299 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,680 get a, you get a double chance that either the child's going to 300 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,720 come through depending on the age of the child and, or the 301 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,920 parents. So that's another thing. 302 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,440 I've had parents come through a lot that are that thank me for 303 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,880 cleaning their child's head or at least make it known, hey, 304 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,400 that's my son, that's my daughter, you know, like, like, 305 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,280 you know, unmistakably make it known like they say it, you 306 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,160 know, directly. I got to tell you the idea of 307 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:29,960 energy and imprinting is real, which we like to believe it is. 308 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,360 The idea that the energy around a child's grave I would feel 309 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,000 would be hot, like quote UN quote hotter, right? 310 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,920 I feel like that is what could possibly be worse of a loss than 311 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,440 a parent, you know, burying their child. 312 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,960 Let's let's, yeah. So let's put it in perspective 313 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,000 like this. Let's talk about the data. 314 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:58,160 I have a higher chance of hearing from a child and, or the 315 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,400 parents or both then if I were to go to an adult's headstone. 316 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,280 If I go to an adult's headstone and it happens, like I've gone 317 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,400 up to some headstones where a, a, a, a child, or at least, you 318 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,160 know, a grown child is like, that's my dad. 319 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,400 You know, that's my father. And it's like, oh, OK, but it's 320 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,440 not as frequent as with a child's headstone. 321 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,360 So there's definitely more of a chance for communicate spirit, 322 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,280 communication with a child's headstone, whether it's 323 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,560 imprinting, whether it's something else, they, they, the 324 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,840 data is there and shows. Have you, have you analyzed the 325 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,920 data in a sense of you know of the words coming through or the 326 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,640 OR the conversation you're getting? 327 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,000 Do you find that it's more emotion based around a child's 328 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,400 headstone versus a soldier's headstone? 329 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,080 That might be more, yes. They might be more reserved. 330 00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:57,680 Yes, So you know, it's so funny you, you, you asked that 331 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,320 question. I did in one day, literally 332 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,520 like, you know, no breaks or anything, cleaned a child's 333 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,040 headstone and cleaned the soldiers headstone. 334 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:13,040 And that day we got more about the child's than we did about 335 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:20,840 the soldier. Do you find, I guess is it you 336 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,280 find more facts with a soldier than personality or you or the 337 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,400 other way? Do you see what I'm saying? 338 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,120 Like what? I see what? 339 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,600 I see what you're saying. Both, actually. 340 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,840 Because like, Churchwell is another great example. 341 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,080 Churchwell, before we even cleaned his head, some was 342 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,880 telling us about the Battle of the Wilderness and he was giving 343 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,560 us details. Now we didn't know what he was 344 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,960 talking about because they were vague details. 345 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,800 He was talking about war in his backpack and being hurt and and 346 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,920 dying in the in from his injuries and things like that. 347 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,720 And it that could have been applied to any war. 348 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,120 So we didn't, we didn't know exactly what which war he was 349 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:01,440 speaking about. And then when he cleaned his 350 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,920 headstone, we found out via the inscription that he died in the 351 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,320 battle, Battle of the Wilderness. 352 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,520 When we looked up the Battle of the Wilderness, he found out 353 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,560 that it lasted for three days, that a lot of soldiers died 354 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,480 after the fact from their injuries they received. 355 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,320 So a lot of the things that Churchwell was saying about the 356 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,400 Battle of the Wilderness all added up. 357 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,720 That's. Why It was both, though. 358 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,400 It was both. He had a personality while he 359 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,280 was telling us. Yeah, we've taught. 360 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,840 Yeah, Church was a good one. I mean, he seems to be one that 361 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,760 was very. And have you spoken to him in a 362 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,840 while or is he sort of faded off? 363 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,800 Yeah, he disappeared for a while. 364 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,480 Like every time I went to his headstone, he wasn't there. 365 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,760 And then when he came back, he wasn't the same. 366 00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,640 We don't know why. We don't know if wherever he 367 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,200 went, he left more of his energy there and only a fragment of him 368 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,160 came back. You know, I, I, I don't know. 369 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,720 I still how they don't know. So how long ago was it when you 370 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:05,160 first came in contact with that? Soldier 2020. 371 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,640 The end of 2022. Beginning of 2023. 372 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,520 OK. And then you were so you you 373 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,200 started a conversation, you started the documenting of that. 374 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,200 And then? And how long before you first 375 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,480 started talking, did you first clean his head stone? 376 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,720 I cleaned his headstone probably about about four or five months 377 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,840 after the initial contact. Got it. 378 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,640 And then how long after cleaning his headstone did you remain in 379 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,560 contact up in whenever you went there? 380 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,160 Up until about the beginning or maybe a couple months after 381 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,080 2024. So about a year. 382 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,680 About a year, yeah. We had a year, a year, a year 383 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,520 and a year and a half about. And did you go in that year and 384 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,720 a half? How often did you visit? 385 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,120 Was it once a week? Was it? 386 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,720 Every other day. Oh, so wow. 387 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,120 So it was a lot. It was a lot. 388 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,200 You talk and you got a lot of contacts. 389 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,000 A lot of contact, Yep. You have a lot of church walk 390 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,760 contact and then all. So it's interesting that that 391 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,320 that's maybe he had got, maybe he got everything out of him 392 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,280 that he could get like, you know. 393 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720 Everybody we, I told. You all that? 394 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,640 Yeah, we found. All I know is that he left 395 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:18,360 because he didn't come through at all, at all. 396 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,640 Every time we went and then December he came back and when 397 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,720 he came back he was just, he was different. 398 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,400 He just doesn't speak like he used to. 399 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,640 It's almost like he's weak or a part of him just isn't there so. 400 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,640 All right, well, let's see. Let's see what we're going to be 401 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,480 doing today here with this talk. Talk to us about this specific 402 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,040 session. You said it was the Civil War 403 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,320 Memorial. So this is the Civil War 404 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,560 Memorial, and this part of the cemetery is more dedicated to 405 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,040 veterans. And this is the beginning. 406 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,000 So we have a bunch of different headstones scattered throughout 407 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,280 this square weekend. Again, in this plot. 408 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,240 Some of them were unknown. Yeah. 409 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:08,680 And others, you know, names. Now, I'm pretty sure this one 410 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,120 has a name. I just can't read his headstone 411 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,880 yet. All right, Well, shall we get 412 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:16,680 into it? You want? 413 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,960 Are you ready? Yeah. 414 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,920 Let's do it. Let's, let's see what they, 415 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,440 let's see if we can. This person would like to speak. 416 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,720 To us as well All right, so hold on now. 417 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,280 They they recently shut the water down here at the cemetery 418 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,080 for the season, but it's still beautiful. 419 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:44,680 So I brought some water. How long when do you have to 420 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,600 stop doing this because of the weather? 421 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,480 When the when the when it starts to freeze. 422 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,200 Got it. The last thing, the last thing 423 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:59,720 you want to do, the last thing you want to do is dump water on 424 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,840 stone that's upright like this when it's going to freeze, 425 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,480 because then the water gets into the cracks and crevices freezes 426 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,120 and destroys the stone. So the second we start getting 427 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,720 freezing weather is when I stop got. 428 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,200 It. Yeah, and that's not going to be 429 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,000 for we got at least another month and a half before that 430 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,560 before the temperature start dripping, dropping, you know, 431 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,600 below freezing. Right. 432 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,040 So and all you need is an hour, not even you know, or a flash 433 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,880 freeze and that's it. And it's done. 434 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:36,000 So like this, I track the weather, the second it's going 435 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,240 to dip below freezing, that's it. 436 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,240 Done. Yeah. 437 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,760 Nothing happened, you know, not during today. 438 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,640 Nothing. Right. 439 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,160 And convinced play. Well, plus it's probably super 440 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,840 cold. Super cold for you to sit out 441 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,960 there and scrub with water in the freezing. 442 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,120 I mean, it doesn't make any sense. 443 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,840 It, you know what it is because it like it's gonna, I'm gonna 444 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,000 get cold down because it's, it's, it's, it's 50° today and, 445 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,720 and with the wind, it dropped it down to 48. 446 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,840 So I'm gonna get wet, I'm gonna get cold now. 447 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,720 But I've been doing that all my life, you know, all my life I've 448 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,600 been working muddy and cold. So this is actually a treat, you 449 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,440 know, I'll be wet and clean. We're very different. 450 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,480 I do not. I hate that stuff. 451 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,720 I would not do. I mean, I would do that in the 452 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,560 summer. In the spring. 453 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,960 I could see it makes sense. But yeah, I'm actually get wet 454 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,080 and clean. Yeah. 455 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,280 Let's take a look. Let's get into it. 456 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,920 Get into it. Let's figure out who this 457 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,760 gentleman is and hopefully find out where he served. 458 00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:33,880 All right. Perfect. 459 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,520 She's. Hiding All right so this is in 460 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,120 the this is who we're going to get it looks like oh dude I I it 461 00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:46,440 looks like his name is John if I'm reading that I don't know 462 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:53,920 we'll see when it's clean but. Good me. 463 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Yeah, don't let that flag go up your ass when you're bending 464 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,200 over cleaning the thing. I don't need the red white like 465 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,960 that. No, you don't. 466 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,440 That's a different kind of America. 467 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,360 It's a different kind of American pride. 468 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,920 Yep, Yep it is. Hey, hey, maybe I'll like. 469 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920 It all right so you got your dawn, you got your water, you 470 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,040 got your scrubber and we're going to get after it here. 471 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,320 So what do you what can you tell us about what you're looking at 472 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:35,840 so far? So I think what's going to end 473 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,880 up happening with this one is I think this is going to be one of 474 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,240 those headstones that a day or two is going to look a lot nicer 475 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,720 than it did on the initial cleaning day. 476 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,880 Sweet week day. Because there's a lot of rooms 477 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,280 built up on it, OK, Edwards, But we're going to do our best, get 478 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,080 it cleaned. OK. 479 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,680 Spirit, I want to say thank you for your service. 480 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,920 If you can hear me, if you're here and I'm going to get this 481 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,480 headstone cleaned for you. Let's find out who this person 482 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,480 was. Does it? 483 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,400 Do these types of headstones also say like where they served 484 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,600 or what their rank was? Sometimes speculate if I don't 485 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,840 if I don't respond to you when you ask me a question because I 486 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,600 can't hear you sing something, that's OK. 487 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,560 I I I heard that something true, it'll say. 488 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,640 OK, I think. Do you do you think these 489 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,960 headstones were given by like the government or are we still 490 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:42,080 just family? If I'm going to say the 491 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:53,760 government just because they're all pretty, you know what I 492 00:26:53,760 --> 00:27:02,280 mean? Now, when you start going at it 493 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,840 like that, can you tell immediately like, oh, this is 494 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,200 going to come out right or no? Yeah, like right now in the back 495 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,240 of my head, I'm thinking this one actually might come out 496 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:16,000 really good. So what was that sound? 497 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,000 That might have been my Ring doorbell. 498 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,160 OK. Oh, it's like, did a fairy get 499 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,560 his swings? Yes, it might have been a train. 500 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,680 I don't know why that's not off. That's the 10 because you know, 501 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,480 I have where my office is. I have a separate plug, you 502 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,120 know, for the chimes so that I know if someone's walking around 503 00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:42,960 the house. So it's not like it comes 504 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,960 through my phone. It comes through like the the 505 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,480 wall. Yeah, 'cause if you're in your 506 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,440 garage, you can't get it. Yeah, plausible. 507 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,760 You know what's going on? Yeah, exactly. 508 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600 What annoys me is it's usually like a squirrel or a table of 509 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,600 some kind. Dude, I'm surprised you've never 510 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,320 built like a catapult for the squirrels, you know? 511 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,160 Oh, well, you know what makes it? 512 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,520 What makes it worse is we have the house decorated for 513 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,360 Halloween right now. So there's like a a big hanging 514 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,080 sort of ghoul from a trellis in the front. 515 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,800 Of my. House, so that sets it off the 516 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,680 camera off constantly. Oh yeah, yeah. 517 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,120 Oh wow, look, so you know, looking at this, I mean already 518 00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,480 halfway through you could see like the before and after of. 519 00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:28,760 Yeah, it's pretty wild just to start. 520 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,800 Yeah, it's looking good. Face aspect. 521 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,480 Think over here, we're going to have a benefit. 522 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,080 You might, you might, you might not. 523 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,840 Maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit. 524 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:54,600 Can you make any words out? Yet it says it's a SO 1887 525 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,480 possibly. So usually I like to wait to 526 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,280 read it, but I'll try to read it. 527 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,840 How's the Spirit? Chatter, are we getting anything 528 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,320 new or worthy? You know, to be honest, I can't 529 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,840 hear it. I can't hear it. 530 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,480 I I usually don't clean headstones this close to the 531 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,760 highway and I, I'm down in this area, the highway is right 532 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,400 there.

John Little is like the name on 542 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,360 the headstone. Dude I could have swore I heard 543 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,000 that through box as that. Then again it could have been 544 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,240 audio Paretolia because of the highway. 545 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,640 It's funny, I thought I heard that through box. 546 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,040 Well, I'll check it out later too. 547 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,560 You know, in terms of. Like right at right before you 548 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:58,000 said it, Father, No, it's not a lot of work spirit. 549 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,480 Trust me, it's worth it. Hold. 550 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,480 On and and design. Oh man, that might come out 551 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,800 really good. That's looking really good from 552 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,080 where I'm sitting. Back of the United States. 553 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,360 So much easier than the front it's not even funny. 554 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,960 I have no idea why. Well, it's because what? 555 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,120 There's no texture on it, right? I mean, in terms of there's no 556 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,640 lettering, right? Flat, but it's just even like 557 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:35,840 the flat parts of the front, you know, small doesn't why you 558 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:48,160 don't need much for the soccer. Hey sorry, yes tops are usually 559 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,480 super dirty because they get the sun and they develop the most 560 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,040 growth. That's weird, I would think the 561 00:31:54,040 --> 00:32:00,640 bottom, no? Everything we Let's stop with a 562 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:17,060 free ask fly. 563 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,720 Cry. Did that say cry? 564 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:32,240 That's the case. The world. 565 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,200 Great. Very, very sorry. 566 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,080 I think it's time for The Dirty rights. 567 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,920 Respect. That sounds like a rich. 568 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,640 That sounds like a stage. He said that as if that's a 569 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,880 standard thing. The Dirty rinse. 570 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:57,240 The Dirty. Rinse Start to get an idea with 571 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,560 The Dirty rinse position of what it's going to look like. 572 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:07,800 Right. He can't stage British people to 573 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,640 join the club. It's like the club all right. 574 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,840 So I think my original assessment was correct. 575 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,920 Be Nigel. To be honest, which was. 576 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,520 That this is going to be one of those stones that are going to 577 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:27,840 look better in a couple of days. But I mean, it already looks 578 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:33,800 great. It doesn't come now. 579 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:39,840 Let's wait for it to dry. What can you make out so far? 580 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:52,800 EEC So hold on, let me it's called from OK channel 581 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:59,680 channeling. So I from what I can see is John 582 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:11,120 Little he was a Sergeant in the correct correct in the 6th. 583 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,639 I'm guessing infantry. Oh no, NYH, what is that NYHA 584 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,159 for me, I don't know if he was in NYHA, whatever that is. 585 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:25,400 That's. A thing. 586 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:26,560 That's a thing. Look. 587 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,800 It up. Let's see if I can look that. 588 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,400 Up. It's NYH, so it's N dot Y dot H 589 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,120 dot a. It was a Sergeant. 590 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:41,920 Oh God, I like that. Died August 26th, 1887, aged 66 591 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,040 years old. That's the plan. 592 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,679 So he was, he's, he was a veteran. 593 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,760 He survived the Civil War, the converse. 594 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,000 He did not die in the Civil War. He he survived and slipped on. 595 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,200 NYHA. So I'm just looking at that line 596 00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:58,280 real quick. It's so, yeah, I don't. 597 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:06,040 See paper. New York heavy artillery, maybe? 598 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:12,960 Oh Yup, Yup Yup, that makes sense, blah blah blah blah, I 599 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,280 saw. That I heard that New York did 600 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,440 not have organized military but they were structured differently 601 00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:22,960 than the Civil War era volunteer regiments active in 1887 the 602 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,200 June general there was an under of New York reported the active 603 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,960 military for organizing 2 regiments companies under 4 604 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,200 brigades. Many veterans of the Civil War 605 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,160 were still alive in 1887, including members of New York's 606 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,680 numerous volunteer regiments, such as. 607 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,720 The New York. Heavy artillery the IT is 608 00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:43,520 possible that NYHA is a transcription. 609 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,360 Unit. For for a unit like that, so it 610 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,360 could be possible that it means that the heavy. 611 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:54,040 Artillery. Yeah, well, he was 6th, so 612 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,240 whatever. 6th. Yeah. 613 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,200 So wait, it says 6th Reg like it just said. 614 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,200 What does it say exactly again? So it says John Little Sergeant 615 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:17,960 EOE so Co dot E and then 6th N dot Y dot H dot a the the P is 616 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:30,480 what it says exactly so. Company Company E of the Sixth 617 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,120 New York Heavy Artillery was a Union Army unit that served 618 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:40,000 during the American Civil War Recruited primarily from the 619 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,160 counties of Westchester, Putnam and Rockland and New York, the 620 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,840 regiment initially served on Garrison and guard duty before 621 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,600 seeing intense combat in the final year of the war. 622 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,800 This is just straight up.

Their first action occurred in 683 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,080 December 1862 in Maryland. They guarded the Baltimore and 684 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,960 Ohio Railroad and occasionally skirmished with Confederate 685 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,280 sympathizers.

We're in the sun now. 797 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,600 We got a decent amount of shade here. 798 00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:31,720 Sun makes it dry a lot faster, like most things you know I 799 00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:32,720 mean. Yeah. 800 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,960 Like most like right?

Some of the stuff that I have 803 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,920 to, some of the common sense things that I have to say. 804 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,560 Oh.

It is like the, the, I will say 807 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,920 this, the worst part about it is when I'm mentally drained and 808 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,880 then, you know, I'm in the chat and, and somebody says something 809 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:10,640 just so ridiculous and it's I, I don't even know if my brain just 810 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,160 melts. Well, it's, you know, I have to 811 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,080 wonder sometimes if I think the real problem. 812 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,920 I I want to give people the benefit and I think the real 813 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:24,560 problem is that they don't think about what they're asking and 814 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:29,200 they say something stupid and they don't realize what like we 815 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,120 can't read their minds. Yes, it's like that's not, 816 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,160 that's not the question you're asking, right? 817 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,760 You're, you're not actually asking me if the sun dries 818 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,520 things more than the shade, are you? 819 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,760 Is that what the question is right? 820 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,960 Not the thing that anybody has done that, but it's it's usually 821 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,800 you find out what. They oh, I've gotten that, oh, 822 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,600 I've gotten that question.

Sure, I might lose them as a 833 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,280 fan, but you know what? It was worth the laugh. 834 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,920 Yeah, it's really, it's really hard. 835 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,600 I mean, you know, intelligence is a bell curve, you know, with 836 00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,520 the majority of people being, you know, somewhat. 837 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,200 All.

How does he have more money than 899 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:32,800 me? It's. 900 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:38,600 I mean, yeah. And if someone's out there and 901 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,080 they don't know what Thunder and lightning are, then I'll. 902 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,720 Explain to you briefly. You're right, they're not the 903 00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:48,800 same, but you don't have Thunder without lightning. 904 00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:51,200 True. Well, that's. 905 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,840 Just and you don't stand on a golf course when you hear 906 00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:00,200 Thunder carrying a bag full of lightning rods. 907 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,440 Yes, yes. It's just absurd. 908 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:10,880 How stupid anyway. You know it really is from, have 909 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:11,960 you? Ever come across a stupid 910 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,560 spirit? Oh, all the time, All the time. 911 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,680 What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard from a spirit? 912 00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:24,960 So I would, I would have to, I would I'm I'm trying to think, 913 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,040 but I think one time I came across the spirit, if I remember 914 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:34,080 correctly, that was at it was what was it at? 915 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,680 It was asking me something. It asked to be a very, very 916 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,320 stupid. I'm trying to remember exactly 917 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,680 what it was. I block out a lot of stuff. 918 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:45,080 You know, my brain can't handle it. 919 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,320 I got to think on that one. That's a question for another, 920 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,640 another. I got to think about it, but I 921 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,400 know I have. Maybe that's an episode we can 922 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,040 do, Which is stupid Spirits. Stupid spirit instead of 923 00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,600 splintered spirits. Stupid. 924 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,360 Spirits. Stupid spirits. 925 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,080 This week we're going to cover the dumbest spirits we've ever 926 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,560 come across. Yeah. 927 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,240 Oh, oh, OK. No, I remember. 928 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:14,920 I remember I came across the spirit once that I was trying to 929 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,080 talk to and the Spirit wanted to talk to me but didn't want to 930 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,080 talk to me. So I messed up. 931 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,880 I messed up to say, you know, I'm not going to pull your leg 932 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,400 about it or, you know, whatever it is, you know, like, you know, 933 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,280 and, and I said, all right, spirit, I'm not going to pull 934 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,480 your arm about it. You know, I'll leave you alone. 935 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:36,160 And the Spirit's like, you're going to, you're not going to 936 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,320 pull my arm, you know, like, like one of those like. 937 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,680 Almost like understand. Yeah, right. 938 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,080 Didn't understand the idiom at all that you used. 939 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,160 You know, it's like maybe that that the idea of, you know, pull 940 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,040 your leg came. I don't know when that was. 941 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:50,600 Let's see. Pull your leg. 942 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,520 Yeah, yeah, I'm not pulling your leg. 943 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:57,160 I said I almost got confused with it, almost like, you know, 944 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,080 I'm not going to pull you towards the conversation. 945 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,840 I'm not going to lead you into the conversation. 946 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,760 We don't got to talk. But I said pull your arm instead 947 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,000 of leg. And yeah, yeah. 948 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,560 And it said that back to me. And I noticed that about a lot 949 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,040 of spirits. They're very literal. 950 00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,760 Sure, there, there. I I describe it almost like Drax 951 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,200 from Guardians of the Galaxy. Sure, sure. 952 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,880 You can't say things to them because it go like if you say, 953 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,360 hey, that one over your head, it'll say, no, it didn't. 954 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,160 I'd catch it if it did. You know, like like they say 955 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,520 something like that. I've noticed that with some 956 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,120 spirit. So, oh, that's interesting, 957 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,400 right? Yeah. 958 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,720 Yeah. It's like the phrase pulling 959 00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:38,440 your leg. You can almost trace it back to 960 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,880 the early 1900s. I need to. 961 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,280 Evidenced by a 1984 article in a New York magazine, which is 962 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,840 obviously an idiom and a a. Turn of phrase. 963 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,400 Right. That means something different 964 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,400 than what what it is. So maybe a lot of things you're 965 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,560 saying to them is just slang. It's like talking to a middle 966 00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:58,960 school kid and they say Skippity. 967 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,960 Yeah, or 6/7. Yeah, right. 968 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,880 That's the newest one. Yeah, it's the newest one. 969 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:05,920 Yeah. They don't, They don't, they 970 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:07,040 don't go. You're right. 971 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,360 That's probably going to find that. 972 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,520 They're so literal about it. They don't understand what I'm 973 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,360 saying to them. Because I don't, I don't, you 974 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,960 know, I deal with a lot of spirits from the early 1800s to 975 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:22,200 early 1900s rather than later. Well, it's like, you know, and I 976 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,080 guess maybe a lot of people aren't talking to them and they 977 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,720 haven't been picking up on the latest lingo or keeping tabs on 978 00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:29,240 it. You know, I have to say this 979 00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:34,360 about this headstone. It's very weathered, like it is 980 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,080 very weathered and we can still read it pretty good. 981 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,200 But like you could see like where the John is is good. 982 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,840 But then as it gets to the little, it starts to fade. 983 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,960 The beginning of the Sergeant is starting to go. 984 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,360 You can still see the company, the E starting to go. 985 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,480 Can you help me? I can try female spirit. 986 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,920 This is the second time you came about, you know what do you 987 00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:59,640 need? I need your name. 988 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:06,960 We need to know what you need help with things at the well all 989 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,240 we know this could be a relatively. 990 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:09,840 God, that's what I was about to say. 991 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,480 I was about to ask. Maybe that's like a family 992 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:12,240 member. Or something. 993 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,600 Of another spirit like can you clean my family's? 994 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,560 Yeah, or it could be a spirit asking you if you help me, can 995 00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,040 you clean my headstone too? I don't know. 996 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,560 They have to be a little more specific about it. 997 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,160 Very different argument. You know, it's funny. 998 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,080 I don't recognize any of these last names either. 999 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,320 I'm looking around and I'm guessing they're all from 1000 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,400 Westchester, even though one of them, we have a William Monroe 1001 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,520 here, Company B, but they were from Massachusetts. 1002 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,920 The rest are all of you. I'm not recognizing any of these 1003 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,400 names. Reynolds Little. 1004 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,480 Why are you asking? Monroe? 1005 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,320 Why am I asking? I'm just curious. 1006 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,280 We're all from the same area. Thank you, Sophie. 1007 00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,720 We'll drive. Well, that the headstone right 1008 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,160 next to Littles looks like it's bent. 1009 00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:59,480 Over. Yeah, that one. 1010 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,200 That's why we're not touching that one. 1011 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:02,560 Yeah. It's bent over. 1012 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,120 It's loose. I can't read it at all. 1013 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,000 Curious. I'm a little curious, spirit, 1014 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,840 but not enough to damage the headstone further. 1015 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,560 Thank you. Jay is it? 1016 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,240 Oh, I just heard it. Heard it. 1017 00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,040 Thank you. You're very welcome. 1018 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:25,200 Spirit. Is this spirit related to John 1019 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:31,120 over here or was that John himself? 1020 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,920 I said hello. See what? 1021 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,080 They've given you permission to do this, of course, you know, in 1022 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,960 the cemeteries. Do they? 1023 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:50,160 What are the rules for you, one of the guys out there that they 1024 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,440 don't want you to do? Or so I'm not allowed to clean 1025 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,520 anything. That's oh, I just heard clean 1026 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,600 again. They just said clean again. 1027 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:02,000 I just heard it again. So now we just heard clean from 1028 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,600 both Vox and Go Super original. So that's why two different apps 1029 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,880 just said clean anyway. So yeah, I have certain 1030 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,160 stipulations. I'm not allowed on a ladder, I'm 1031 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,680 not allowed to clean any headstone that's bigger than any 1032 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:23,480 monument that's bigger than me, and I'm not allowed to use any 1033 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,600 chemicals other than dawn. Dawn is the only thing I'm 1034 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:32,520 allowed to use Dawn and water. Oh and like things like D2 or 1035 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,920 wet and forget, I'm allowed to use those as well. 1036 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,480 OK. What? 1037 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,240 They're just afraid you're going to damage something. 1038 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:41,880 Yes. Yes. 1039 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,280 Well, the and, and the, the height thing is insurance. 1040 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,680 I'm walking. You're walking. 1041 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:53,480 Where are you walking from? So yeah, that's like if I'm 1042 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,600 cleaning a stone, all of a sudden it toppled over on me, 1043 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,080 you know, like, right. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. 1044 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,240 But you didn't have to show them cash. 1045 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,920 News Men. Any sort of license like. 1046 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,400 My business No, no. Oh, and that and they do have a 1047 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:12,800 company that that professionally cleans headstones, but they 1048 01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,480 they're they're they offer their services obviously to people 1049 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,000 that can pay. So older headstones, the 1050 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,200 families aren't around anymore. No one's paying. 1051 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,520 So I'm also not, I'm not allowed to go into the newer part of the 1052 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,840 cemetery and fleet headstones, which is fine because I 1053 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,760 wouldn't, right? Right, right. 1054 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,160 So those are those are the only stipulations, you know, all 1055 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:45,920 right. Oh, that was weird, John, is 1056 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:53,200 that you? And basically too, that was 1057 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,800 weird. Gonna swore I heard like a deep 1058 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,000 raspy voice say, you know, I'm John. 1059 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,200 But then again, I got wind and I got the highway right next to 1060 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:03,720 me, so. Right. 1061 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,160 Things that are lower, it's harder to hear. 1062 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,920 What can help? You know well, I don't need any 1063 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:10,360 help, Spirit. We took care of it already. 1064 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,200 Thank you.

Oh, OK. 1075 01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,560 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's funny. Yeah. 1076 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,520 So yeah, it is funny. We all use it all the time. 1077 01:01:53,520 --> 01:02:00,880 Dude, it's great traffic. I levelled up my business, so 1078 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,840 yeah, it's pretty interesting. Yeah, we hear that all the time. 1079 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:09,000 All. Right, dude. 1080 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:13,840 Well, I think, you know, it's a kind of an amazing thing that 1081 01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:17,720 you do and it's, I haven't seen many people do it, you know, so 1082 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,960 it's really interesting and it, it allows for a different sort 1083 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:26,840 of approach to spirit communication that many don't, 1084 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,320 haven't been able to capitalize on like you have for sure. 1085 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,280 Well, it what, what it, what it is, what it is, is that there 1086 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,160 are so many people that clean headstones out there like you. 1087 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:44,200 You can almost now especially stroll on TikTok alone and just 1088 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:48,720 find people cleaning headstones. Very few of them will run a 1089 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,400 spirit box while doing it. And the ones that do don't 1090 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,680 nearly get the evidence that I so you're not going to. 1091 01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:00,080 It's rare you find somebody actually using a spirit box 1092 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,640 while cleaning a headstone. There's tons of people that 1093 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,240 clean headstones there. I mean, there's tons of them 1094 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:06,720 I've. Seen a couple, they don't. 1095 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:07,960 I'm surprised they don't really pop up in my. 1096 01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,080 Face but. It's surprisingly. 1097 01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,080 And, and, you know, and, and what else is surprising is 1098 01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:17,000 they're very, it's a, it's a niche, you know, and it's like, 1099 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:21,320 it's like an exclusive club, you know, which I'm not in, right. 1100 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:25,360 Like I, I, I am not, I am not in that club because they hate the 1101 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:28,600 fact that I use Dawn. You know, they claim Dawn 1102 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,880 destroys A headstone, which I mean, I've proven time and time 1103 01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,840 again that it does not that. And, and I've done headstones 1104 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,760 years ago that still look Immaculate with Dawn. 1105 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,480 They claim it's the salt content in Dawn, right? 1106 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:47,840 And I'm, I'm from Westchester, I'm right near, I'm right near 1107 01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,200 the Long Island Sound. There's more, there's more salt 1108 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:51,600 content in the air. I. 1109 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,800 Know it's so ridiculous. There's more pollution in the 1110 01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,720 air. That's what destroys these 1111 01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:01,640 headstones in this area is the pollution in the air and in the 1112 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:05,360 in the acidity of the water because of it and the salt 1113 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,600 content coming from the Long Island Sound. 1114 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,880 Yeah, I mean, it's ridiculous. It's, yeah, it's, it's, yeah. 1115 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,960 They, and they say that Dawn destroys headstones. 1116 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:18,000 It's Dawn, you know, and I use a drop of it, but that was like 1117 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:21,400 literally a drop. So it's, it's really so I'm not 1118 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,920 in that club, you know, they, they, they look at and the fact 1119 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:26,680 that I use the spirit box, forget it. 1120 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,000 It's like, why not? I, I want to, I, I walk around 1121 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,840 cemeteries. I might as well clean the 1122 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,880 headstone and see what the spirits have to say about it by. 1123 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:37,400 Yourself, you want to have somebody to talk to. 1124 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,200 Yeah, exactly. Because I'm not. 1125 01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,800 Yeah, I'm back at that. So it's interesting, but I love 1126 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,200 it. I think it's, I think it's 1127 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,640 amazing. And don't worry guys, once 1128 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,920 everything's all said and done, I'll put the flag back. 1129 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:51,680 If you notice, I haven't put the flag back yet. 1130 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:56,360 That'll happen. So I want to reposition that 1131 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,160 flag nicer. It's a little weathered and 1132 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:04,440 damaged so I might replace it.
