You guys want a quick tour before we before you see it
online, let me show you a quick tour real quick and what this
place is going to look like. Well, what it already started
looking like because I don't know where I don't know what
happened to Gary. I lost him, but that's OK.
Look at this. And here we are, another
wonderful episode of Splintered Spirits.
I'm John. This is Gary.
What's up everybody? Hold on.
We're getting live everywhere. Still picking up on everything
and everything places. All the places I wish.
We sleep nothings, you know. Yeah, man, we are live and John,
we are live everywhere today. Everywhere we are alive, we're
in the unmentionables. But just know this if you're
logged into social media right now.
You're. Live we're live Welcome to
splinter spirits everybody. I'm Gary your host, along with
my Co host and partner and nephew families, a family run
business Paranormal. Welcome everybody, thank you for
coming. I don't know if you don't know
what Splintered Spirits is. We are a paranormal podcast
trying to figure out what spirits are and having a little
fun while we do it. We tend to interview everyone
from creators, ghost hunters, parapsychologists, historians,
authors, mediums, witches. Witches, dude, I was, I was
telling them what if I didn't get into detail because I didn't
want to spoil? It I might get a little detail,
I'm going to drop that in January.
January I was telling them what a fun episode it was.
And just like, you know, we, you know, we talked to a lot of
people, you know, their purpose is this, their purpose is that
like this woman is literally fighting for her livelihood.
Yeah, it's crazy. It's insane and.
Her name is. Amazing story.
So this woman, what John's talking about, we did an
interview with Beck Ravenswood. She is the owner of the Serpent
Shop. Serpent's key.
I agree. Serpent's key.
The Serpent's key in Hanover,
PA. Hanover.
Not. There's no D in it.
It's just Hanover. It's not hand over like it's
hand over. Han like just Han.
Han like ham with an N. Yeah, in Hanover, PA.
So basically the cop walks in one day and tells her.
That she. That the chief walks in one day
and tells her like, look, if we ever get any complaints, I'm
going to have to investigate you.
Because there is a law on the books in Pennsylvania from 1861
that says fortune telling and tarot card reading and things of
that nature are a, a misdemeanor.
They are illegal. You can do 6 to 12 months in
jail and $2500 fine per incident.
And this witch, because she is considers herself a Wiccan and a
witch decided to take the fight to the government.
So she is suing them for for that and it is a really quite a
wonderful story and we really hope the best for we're going to
play that interview right after the holiday for you guys.
I and she's a delight. I mean, she's just absolutely.
Oh, she's great. She was great fun.
Yeah, very fun, awesome person. Her story is just, it's, it's,
you know, especially with everything when it comes to
government and witches, you know, and small government and
towns and whatnot, you know, over the, you know, just over
the centuries, not just here in the United States, but
everywhere. It's good to hear a story like
that where she's fighting back so.
Got it. OK, some people are telling me
they can't hear me. Is that on TikTok?
Can you not hear me on TikTok? Is that correct?
I can hear you here. You can hear me there?
Can you guys hear me on YT and all that fun stuff?
TikTok volume is not working. Why would that be?
So let's see, is that an audio source?
Well, I just think it was the IT was just, it was a, it was a
good. You know what it it it, it
really shows just how versatile we are as a podcast.
You know it's. Going to be really nice.
Yeah, yeah. So.
And I love stuff like that. And I think it was just a, a
really good one. And I, I actually, you know,
when next time I go to Gettysburg, I'm going to stop by
the Serpent's Key. Yeah, I'm going to stop by the
Serpent's Key and, you know, give her a little patronage.
As you should. Yeah, as I should.
You know, as as I'm trying to do right now, John, as we tend to
do with these things when we add a new platform, I have to figure
out tech. Tech.
That set them at all. So someone says they can hear
you, but there's echoes. Audio mixer?
What's going on? Primary microphone.
Hello, hello, hello, hello. Hi, hi me.
So weird here. Why don't I just pull it up on
the phone and see what it sounds like?
Yeah, get a better idea. Yeah.
So I've been going crazy here man.
Yeah, tell me what's going on over there.
Oh dude, it's insane. I'm leaving the tower in and you
know, by January 1st I'm out of the tower, right.
So I've just been literally just unloading everything from, you
know, the three story tower, you know, into the Brecka state and
it's just been, you know, it's a lot getting stuff out of there,
you know, 3 or. 4 Moving sucks. Yeah, yeah.
Like moving sucks in general. It sucks for everybody.
And and, you know, I'm, I'm limited as to resources, you
know, transporting stuff. So we're doing it little by
little. But the only saving grace we're
doing a little by little means that everything coming in can
get organized and set up. So that's what I've been doing.
And the front room came out. It's coming out really good.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's coming. This room isn't done yet because
I still, I'm still, you know, I still have more stuff coming and
whatnot, but the front room comes out good.
You know, not only do I run that shrimp wire in the hallway, I
also set up motion lights. So, you know, something pops
off, something pops off in the motion lights, pick it up and
then they go off. Regular motion lights, like ones
you would have under the cabinet, like under cabinet
lights, That's all you know, because me personally, and I
know others on this podcast have said the same, the best type of
ghost hunting equipment is the equipment that is not used for
ghost hunting right now. Yeah.
And I'm a big avid fan of that, like the thermal and, you know,
other things. So except for cat balls, cat
balls, the cat toys, those that those are, I think those are, I
used to use them and like I remember one time in the
fireplace room, I'm down there and I, it was hilarious.
I kept going spirits, you know that the cat balls would light
up and it's like, come on, you can't tell.
It's my voice setting those things off so I don't use.
Yeah, listen, you know what? Sorry, I'm going to tell you.
Sorry, TikTok. I'm going to have to say goodbye
to you because it's distracting and I'll figure out the sound.
They've been, they haven't let us have the video in forever.
So I'm glad that that's up. But you know what?
Go over to YT, Yeah, and you'll see us there.
Yeah. So I'm going to say goodbye to
this. Yeah.
And. Goodbye to TikTok.
Later. I'll say this later.
See you next time. Wait.
So frustrating. Listen, it's, it's TikTok, man.
Like what what I'm dealing with right now with TikTok is insane.
So I'm, I'm trying to get years of red tape ripped off my
account, you know, and my, my live manager is just, she
doesn't even, she doesn't even know what to do.
She's not understand, she doesn't understand why I have
all these red, all these flags and all this red tape going back
for years, you know, and I've been talking about it.
And every time, you know, I start getting a little headway,
it just comes right back, you know?
And it's, you know, I don't know if it's like the algorithm that
naturally does it or, you know, they're trying to figure it out.
Guys, I'm back in. I'm locking in.
I'm locking in now that I got that tech down.
I'm sorry, it's so frustrating. I just want people to have a
good time and be able to communicate with us and talk to
us and everything else. And it's like, I'd want to get
as many people as possible and it gets really difficult when
it's like, why can't things just work?
Work. Yep, why?
Why can't they just work? Because if it was, listen,
that's life in general. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, Who do we got in the chat today?
Let's just look. Sorry again.
If you're coming over from TikTok, welcome to YouTube.
We got all our favorites here, Jack and Heather and Christina.
Angela, who's this? Steve H I'm here.
John, let's party. I don't.
Know, Steve, we're going to party.
Steve H You know Steve H so I don't.
Spicy kittens. Spicy kitten with a naughty
name. Yep, Spicy Kitten will be here
in here in December. Oh, looking Yep, I'll meet some
of these people. In person, 100%, you're going to
meet some of these people. You know, you're going to get
the opportunity to meet them at the mod party because you're
coming to the mod party. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then that's. Isn't that next week?
Isn't this next week? Week dude, that's why I'm I'm
trying to get all this done. It's insane you'll get it done.
You'll get. By the way, that's not.
Too much about it. By the way, you wonder how cold
it is out here right now. How?
Cool. What?
8°. 88 and what? Is there another any number?
No, dude, I'm chilly today because it's a whopping 65 and
I'm. A little 65.
I'm be out over it. I got to prepare, huh?
Oh. Yeah, well, I don't know what
don't see. I keep checking and I actually
run like a couple language models of, you know, predicting
the weather. So I'm trying to figure out what
the weather is going to be like for the week that, you know, the
the weekend that everybody's here and it keeps flip flopping,
dude. It keeps flip flopping.
They either say it's going to be like, you know, below 30, you
know, or, you know, in the 50s. So I'm just like, you know, I'm
hoping it's it's 50s, you know, that make everything more
comfortable. But regardless, you know, we're
going to be inside for the most part.
And yeah, so I'm just dealing with the weather.
But we got. Yeah.
All right. All right.
Yeah. I feel bad, Judy.
Just, you know, last night in the chat, people were like, oh,
you're not going outside, You're not doing this.
You're not doing. That it's cold, guys.
Yeah, And it's like, it's hard to explain, especially when they
see other creators and other people outside.
You know, they're like, oh, it's cold out here, but in reality,
they're cold. Isn't New York cold?
No, Right. It's only the people in this
area that understand like, oh, yeah, you know, 40° somewhere
else isn't the same as 40° in New York, right?
I mean, think about it. It's just the way it is, you
know, drier cold, this, that and the other here.
It's moist. It's moisture.
Everything glist. It's moist.
Everything glistens when it gets that cold and it doesn't.
And it doesn't glisten because it's beautiful.
It glistens because it's cold as shit and it's wet, you know, and
it's, it's. Where?
Where are you, notorious Mimi, that you're in the 51°?
Where's that? 51° that's got to be like South
Carolina. Just making shit up.
Magellan like shit up as I go, you know?
Yeah, yeah. Taking an educated guess.
What are these people saying here?
An. Educated guess.
He better wear pink if he wants to sit with us.
You talking about me? Huh.
You're on your mind. Pink, why you?
Sit with me. Yeah.
It's like I'm not there. You're not.
I'm not there trapped with you guys.
Yeah, you guys are there, trapped with me.
Let's understand what's happening here next week.
That's like, what movie is that from?
That's from the Watchmen. The Watchmen, yes.
The prison scene, yeah, yes. It's a great.
It's a. Great, Yes, Oh, great, great.
What a great. One of the best comic
adaptations, by the way, in my IT.
Really is good. It's really good.
It's one of his better movies too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
You know, and then there's a lot to work with too.
So it's not like you know, when you got sort, when you got
material and source material they.
And they did a good ending, even though, you know, probably a
better ending than the the comic book.
Are you still there? Up.
We lost John for a second. Don't worry, he'll be back.
His recording failed. You know what happened?
I bet you he forgot to put do not disturbed on.
Oh, here he comes. OK, what happened there?
Oh, we're losing them. What's up, John?
It's Dairy Queen. John just stepped away for a
second. He'll be back.
We've had a little bit of tech difficulties this morning.
That's what happens when we go live, guys.
But hopefully he'll come back in just a SEC.
Let's see, people. Where is he?
Here he comes. Oh, he keeps booting out.
Let me text him. Keep booting out.
What else? What's going on with you guys in
the chat? We'll make this a public day.
Darcy, what's up? The narrow surgeon.
What? Oh, train wreck.
That's. I wish you the best of luck.
That sounds that sounds tough, Brian.
No, I got a car bro. Thank you though.
So yes, we had well, John figures out his situation.
We had a good interview this week and we got a new episode of
splendid spirits Pop drop it off on Tuesday with and a real if
you guys are like in aliens too and like that kind of thing.
His name is Brian Sterling vet show you a little picture of him
here See that guy Brian Sterling fed is going to be on the
podcast next week. Heather, I'll tell Oh, sorry,
Heather's got a question. Why do we get rid of Spotify
Subs? I'm going to tell you exactly
why listen. So here's what happens.
This is a little bit of of technical thing that we noticed.
So when I drop a new episode, Spotify releases a new episode
like it, you know, it's a premiere, so it.
It. Gets blasted out, it gets
announced to all the subscribers.
You know, we've got about just, I think just under 1000, maybe
around 800 subscribers, not paid subscribers, but just people who
follow the podcast and they get told about the new episode, the
new episode pops and then people download it right away to listen
to it either right then or later.
And that helps the algorithm push it.
When I was doing advanced episodes on Spotify, what
happens is when I'm there is no way to make it to automatically
set it to go public for on the date we want it to go public for
non paid subscribers and followers.
So it would never it would just get lost in the sauce.
Our numbers for the past few episodes on those for those
episodes that were subscriber were terrible like 10 people
compared to hundreds of of downloads.
So I re dropped a lot of them to hopefully spark the algorithm
up. But ultimately there
subscription service doesn't help me yet.
We don't have enough paid subscribers to make it worth it
financially to make it go. So if you want to see an
advanced episode of splintered spirits you should subscribe on
YouTube. YouTube does not have that
problem. They I can set up a system where
it's subscriber only to a certain date and then on that
date it becomes accessible to everyone else and it does not
hurt the algorithm at all or the amount of views.
But on Spotify, it really hurt us for a couple of episodes.
So to answer your question in a long and technical way, we are
no longer doing subscriptions on Spotify until they figure that
out for me, for us, it just doesn't help us.
Now back to the business of splintered spirits.
Let me let John back in, see if this finally works.
There he is. What happened there?
I'll tell you what happened. My phone is on Do not disturb
and the tenants keep calling me because they're cold.
And that's what keeps happening. And I kept trying every time I
kept like shutting them down, shutting them down.
They kept calling. They're knocking on my damn
door. I it's insect, insect.
You know, I had to, I just had to tell one of them, you know,
don't ever knock on my door again.
It's like, I don't even care if I don't even care if the
apartment's burning down. Do not knock on my door.
Thank you. Yeah, like myself, I'm a
glorified janitor, you know, like, that's what I am here.
A damn janitor. Nothing else.
The master custodial, custodial arts.
You know, that's it. Why?
Don't they just turn their heat up?
They can't. It's it they it the building's
only only one thermostat does the entire building.
I've been telling them for years to ditch that heating system,
close it, close it all off except for the basement and the
first floor of the hallway. Right, that is it.
And install electric heaters. Install electric heat and have
the tenants paid for their own friggin heat and you will not
have any of these problems. Sure, the electric's going to go
up, but then it's up to the tenant if they want it.
That is maybe the worst building I've ever heard or system I've
ever heard, Yeah. That's this is it.
This is it. This building's insane.
It shouldn't be here. And you know, in all intents and
purposes it shouldn't be here. Oh my God.
Anyway. Anyway, so all you missed was I
was explaining to the the good people why we are no longer
doing Spotify subscriptions and now if they want advanced
episodes, they should do that on YouTube.
And then I was talking about our guest next week, which you are
going to John wasn't in that interview, but it was with Brian
Sterling, vet who wrote this book, Quantum Paranormal.
I don't know is it backwards when you look at?
It no, it's well for me it looks like it's the right way.
OK, good. So and he talks about his
experience with his first sighting of a UFO and alien
encounter and then he writes this book about quantum
paranormal and sort of this idea that you had talked about this
John that. It's like some tube or something
where light and. Energy quantum.
Tunneling Quantum. Tunnel.
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what is consciousness
and everything else and we get into it, dude.
And this guy Brian is like a, he's a, he's from the UK, he's
got a, he's like a renaissance man.
He has numerous Guinness World Records that he holds because I
think he used to do something for charity where they were
like, we're going to break random records.
So then he would break all these.
He holds all these Guinness Book of World Records things.
And then he got into the paranormal.
He owns a business called Paranormal Rescue where they
help people out, I guess in the UK when they have a situation.
And he's just really into it from a very from a very
different perspective in this very quantum sort of analysis of
things. So that drops Tuesday, brand new
episode for us. That goes and to go back to the
to the so all those people, you know, if you're wondering about
like, oh, I never got notified of a new episode because of what
was going on with Spotify, man. We've got, you know, the Rosie
Grant, the author of the cookbook to die for that
interview. We've got the interview with
Mark Marinaccio, who was the showrunner on Skinwalker Ranch
season 3 and was a producer on the the like the first seasons
of Ghost Hunters back in the day, old school paranormal
producer and a. Cool dude, you know?
Cool dude. Yeah, Mike Dorsey produced,
produces Ghost Adventures, House Calls and is one of Zach Bagan's
big collaborators. He works on a lot of his shows.
And that's another awesome one. He's the one that actually does
documentaries like he did the Sisters of Ukraine.
Sisters of Ukraine, that's out now on Amazon.
He does real hardcore documentaries, Tupac and Biggie
documentary. He knows everything about that
case, everything about it, you know, and that's a great
episode. And it's like, you know, look,
guys, if you're if you're interested in how these shows
are made, you might learn a little something of how you know
how what goes down with them from from doing it.
And then Steve Parsons, another UK old school.
So, you know, and it's funny, man, I was telling you about
that other book I read about the social dynamics of or the, you
know, how societal's impact on ghost hunting, right?
Like why? Number one, why do we even think
it's a ghost? It's was it's nature versus
nurture. We're all told like ghosts
exist. So when something happens we
don't understand, we're immediately like maybe it's a
ghost or right? Like you think it's a ghost when
it doesn't have. And the idea of gear and using
all this gear comes from TV shows and stuff and how a guy
like Steve was started doing this before the shows were
popular. So that's the whole bag.
Steve, what are we watching? You're watching a live podcast
of the Splintered Spirits podcast.
We do lives every Thursday at this time with new episodes
dropping every other Tuesday. If you are interested in having
a little fun with the paranormal and sort of investigating what
spirits might be, that's what this is.
Because I sure as hell don't know what they are.
And John Santa over here is somebody who goes out and speaks
with them quite regularly in his day-to-day life.
And it's fascinating to me and it might be, it's fascinating to
others. So this live is sort of a catch
up. We do weekly talking about
what's coming, what's been and what's next.
Sometimes we have guests. We try to get other creator
guests on here and we got a few coming in the future.
It's been the holidays have been a little tough and all of our
holidays fall on Thursdays. This see this, this, this one,
from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Year's.
So, you know, we'll see what you get.
But Steve, thanks for hanging around.
So wait, the Christmas that's Christmas Day falls on?
Thursday, yeah. Thursday.
Yeah.
I think I'm around for Night I. Might be around later, but you
know, I got all, I got all the in laws in town.
So we'll see how that plays for me.
I usually do a Christmas Eve stream and a Christmas Day
stream if they're just later you know well.
We're going to have so much fun next week that we're going to
get a couple episodes out of that.
It'll depend where we drop those coming out for some big stuff.
So we're doing some big tests, big, big science experiments,
science. Experience multi person s s
method. Yeah, man, we're going to do
some science. We're going to make science
happen, Yeah. I think this is going to be.
I don't think anyone's ever attempted this.
I. Don't think anyone's ever tried
it either. And I think it'll be fun to see
how the the what they all yell out and hear and if they hear
different things and see if it could.
You like what you want, right? You want them all to yell out.
You want us to ask a question and then for them all to yell
out the same thing in unison, right?
Like that answers the question like that would be.
Wild, yes. Or, or how wild would it be if
on top of that, some of them started answering the questions
to what's being said. So for example, let's say we ask
a question. Hey, can you, can you tell us
your name? And then all of a sudden someone
shoots out Jimmy. My name is Jimmy.
And then someone else goes, you know, and I'm, you know, and I'm
and I'm Tom. You get what I'm saying?
Like, yeah, or, or answering each other too, because that
would be wild too, because that can happen as well.
Or. And it would be hilarious just
if like, you know, we ask a question and then they all yell
out a different because of because of audio.
Paradola. Yeah.
It's an Estes orgy is what it is.
Yeah, that's a good word for it. Right?
The Estes orgy. Yeah, yeah.
The sure, somebody called it right Snippy.
That's great. It's funny.
But yeah, that'll be, that'll be a trip, Yeah.
And then somebody with more money will do a bigger version
of it. Like this is where somebody like
you know, they'll, they'll get like 1000 people.
To yes, oh 100. Percent, yeah, yeah, but it's
fine. We're starting at first with
like a with a good like 25. That's it.
There's nothing. There's nothing better than
saying, hey, I did this first. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did this.
1st That's fine, it is. Go ahead, knock yourself out,
have fun, expand on it. I did this first.
Yeah, Oh my God, it's great. It's great.
So we get bragging mice. It'll be good progress.
That's gonna be a lot of fun. And then we've got, oh, dude,
you were just in Gettysburg. Yes.
Tell tell, let's hear it. Like what was the what's the
follow up despite the the freezing cold temps?
See, the, the, the wind was a big problem in Gettysburg, you
know, and it was, it was, let me say it like this.
Like I could describe it as I knew what was coming, right.
And Nezzel did it because he's not from this area at all.
So, you know, he, you know, we gear up, we're all ready.
And we'd step outside and he'd be like, oh, yeah, no, no, no,
no, we can't do this. Or he'd look at me, but waiting
for me to say, you know, I think this is a bad idea tonight.
Maybe we should figure something out.
And that was basically the first night.
Right. He's from Texas, dude.
He doesn't want to be out there in the cold.
Yeah, so, but no, he, he wanted the cold.
He just didn't want the wind, right.
And, and there's nothing you can do about the wind.
We have bad wind in the on the northeast.
And so the first night was that. And then after that, like, I
don't think a lot of people realized like we were going from
location to location during the day or like Brian Mon would go
out to one place and check it out.
And we're just, you know, seeing exactly what the weather's going
to be like. And every night it was just
like, wind, wind, wind. And there was, like, barely
anything we can do. But one night, we decided we
have to figure something out. We just can't keep doing the
farmhouse. Even though farmhouse is great.
We want to spice it up and do things.
So we found a mausoleum to sit behind.
We went to a cemetery. We found a mausoleum.
So the four of us, because it was, it was Brian, me, Netzel,
and Lauren Lawrence's fiance, and the four of us are sitting
there and they'll be blocked by the wind.
It's still cold. And then, you know, we all get
the itch. We want to walk around, dude.
We started walking around. I was done.
I knocked on 2 mausoleums, got 2 awesome responses, You know what
I'm saying? And then after that I was done.
I find it funny when you knock on a mausoleum door and you get
an answer. Yeah.
Have you ever got like, who's there?
Oh yeah, I've gotten, yeah, I've got, you know, and I got invited
in, you know, I get the, the, the usual, you know, leave me
alone. The best is when they invite me
in and it's and it's locked and then I got to be like, yeah,
we'll listen, the doors locked and you know, maybe it's not a
good idea if I go in there, you know?
Could you imagine if it? Imagine if it was like?
Imagine if you heard like the opening a slide or unlocking the
door that'd be set. That would be great.
Would you go in? Of course.
If that, if it. If it unlocked by itself 100%
nothing would stop me from going there.
Nothing would stop me. I would.
Be in I'd be so excited I'd get my my tisms will start acting up
so I'd get all excited about it and I would go right in.
You know, so that's funny, man. Speaking of.
Speaking. Of tisms acting up.
Here at the Breck Estate. And I didn't get to tell you
about this yet. Is the clock the grandfather
clock that I did? You get that clock?
What's the history? Of it so Lisa.
Wanted old school Christmas decorations so she's like let's
go thrifting and see what we can find.
OK, so. We went to the salvation.
Army and I go into the Salvation Army and the guy who runs it
recognizes me because I used to go in there for when I had the
eBay store and you know, things that I bigger things I wouldn't
sell. I'd always be like, hey, listen,
you got this marked way too. Like this is, you know, you can
get X amount of this for the right people.
Do the research. You can make money off this.
Instead of selling it for 200, you can get 1000.
You know that this needs to be, you need to mark this up, you
know, throw a couple, throw a couple more 100 on this cabinet
throw, you know, so he recognized me.
He's like, oh, I haven't seen you in a while.
And I told him, you know, I don't do the eBay store anymore.
And I turn and I see this clock, this grandfather clock.
I point at it and I go, what's the deal with this?
There's no price tag on it. And he goes, well, I don't know
what to sell it. He goes, I think the key is
locked in and I don't think it works.
And he goes, I have one pendulum and one week.
So I'm like, OK, and I look inside and you can see through
the glass, you can see this paperwork in there.
So I'm like, OK, that's why he thinks the keys in there, the
key wasn't in there, right? I still didn't get in.
We went in from the top and we, we dropped the magnet in and
then we dropped something filled with a, a grill of tape outside.
So it was sticking to all the paperwork and they were pulling
it up that way. So, so while I'm there, I look
at the internals and I'm like, this works 100% this works.
If I can get in the air and get the pendulum set, get a new
weight, I'll get this thing to work.
So I said, well, what's your best offer on it?
And he goes well, honestly, honestly, he goes, I know you're
into this stuff. He goes ever since this clock's
been in the store, we've been seeing shadows.
He's he's very, very paranoid, right?
That's me that's reconnecting or him.
Let's say we both, I don't know, I'll keep talking.
So very, very paranoid, like very, very paranoid.
And you know, he ended up giving it to me for $100.00, so I took
it. And that was that.
So I think. He's frozen.
I'm not sure 'cause my counter is still counting down and
usually things get all scrambled for me and that stops.
OK Wow, I lost them. So that was just me.
Should I show you guys my nip nips?
I don't know if that's a good idea.
I don't know if that's a good idea, but I'll keep it going.
So yeah, the clock. Crazy, right guys, that clock is
nuts. So crazy.
My tisms were going nuts that night.
I don't know if it was the tisms or maybe it wakes up both, who
knows? Wow, this is I'm, I'm, I'm
alone, you know. Hi guys.
I wish I could see the chat, but I can't because I should set up
another device here. But soon I'm going to be on a
computer and doing this up via computer once I get the rest of
this place set up. You guys want a quick tour
before we before you see it on live, let me show you a quick
tour real quick and what this place is going to look like.
Well, what? It already started looking.
Like, because I don't know where.
I don't know what happened to Gabby.
I lost him. But that's OK.
Look at this. Ain't this crazy.
Hold on, Hold on. Oh yeah.
It's getting crazy.
We're getting crazy in here. That's the kitchen, you guys.
Know that? Oh yeah.
Oh, it's getting. Crazy.
Oh, wait, about that, huh? Not bad.
Not bad at all, you know. Hallway looks cool too, right?
Look at all that mirrors. What the hell was that?
What was that? Whatever.
I'm not here to document. I'm here to do a podcast.
You know, my podcast. Splinter Spirits.
That's what this is. Wow, this is weird.
Not talking to anybody. I wish I hadn't.
I wish I could see you guys. Hold on.
Give me, give me one second. Actually, come on, man, we're
going to, we're going to do this.
I need to load up let's. See here that that has the white
TS. We're going to jump in on the
white teens over here. Do I have another clip?
No, Hold on. Let me get on the white TS.
Let me get on the white teens. All right.
OK. Where's flinched spirits now?
Let's find splintered spirits. Splintered spirits?
Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah, Look at that.
All right. He's frozen, right?
What's going on here guys? He's frozen now I can talk.
To you. It's looking good, isn't it?
It's looking good. I know it's.
Looking good? I don't know.
I don't. Know what happened to him?
That's OK. Yeah.
You guys see you guys are still here, so I'm not going to go
anywhere. That means this is still
running, so I don't want to. I wish I had a place to I was
not prepared for such things not prepared.
I wish I could put this like this so I'm not keep looking
down. The clock was nuts.
Where is everybody today?
10 people in the chat. Are you watching on my account?
Hold on is my account live too? Let me see here.
Where is everybody? There's Sansa Paranormal.
Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, there you guys are.
There's a bunch of you because there's 10 of you over on
Splintered Spirits, and then there's a bunch of you over on
what's it called? I can actually fire both.
I just don't know how long he's going to be gone for, but I want
to be able to talk to both chats.
So hold on one second. Let me grab another, another
device. You know, I got a bunch.
Dude a baby water OK it really cracked out it crap that's.
All good it kept. Going though.
So I kept going. I was about to set up another
two tripods and talk to everybody.
Oh my God. Yeah, there we go.
Yeah, I yeah, I kept it going. All right.
So you were saying all right here?
'S where you left off for me. OK, you pulled, you pulled the
paper out of the OK got you. So.
Right. I end up, I end up getting the
clock for $100, OK, because he, he was seeing shadows in the
store and whatnot. When he, when you know, when it
came in, he was getting paranoid.
I end up getting it for 100 bucks.
We bring it back, we go in from the top, we lower something down
because we can't obviously go in there.
So we lower something down first we use magnets to see if we can
grab a key. Then nothing was getting grabbed
so that we wound up Gorilla tape opposite.
So it was sticky and we sent it down and we started just
grabbing everything out of the that was at the bottom.
No key. So I can't wind this clock up.
It has everything else though We can wind it If I, if I, if I had
to, you know, if I was able to get in, I can't get this clock
to work until I get into the glass until I get into the lock.
So the clock does not work at all.
Yes, couple of nights ago, every time the spirits, well most of
the time when the spirit spoke about time in any sort of way,
the clock would shine and it how was it?
How did the clock? Chime bro, how does that work?
No, is there is there a chime on it?
Well, it so the. Way it works if you hook up the
pendulum and you hook up the weights and you wind it and you
set it properly and then it'll chime when the clock, you know,
you know, as the as the weights go up and down and what not and
it and it and it bangs that the hammer onto the onto the strings
is basically how it works. But there's no weights and
there's no pendulum hooked up to it and it's not wound up.
This it shouldn't work. There's no way this could work.
Now, granted, you might get here a little something if you walk
by it too quickly, vibrations, things like that, but not full
chimes. This.
And it gradually got louder and louder and louder.
Say it was, it was wild. And then when I walked out of
the room, like I, I got Texas that night.
So I walked out of the room to go get it.
It got delivered, you know, and it would, it would go nuts, you
know, and I didn't hear this chat was telling me if I go into
the bathroom it would start chiding like crazy.
So what do you think it is? I have no idea.
I have no idea, but it was just too like, I think it's the
spirits. It's definitely paranormal.
It's not. There's no logical reason why
that clock would do that. Other than spirits?
Frequency affecting the strings making it go off.
I wonder if you can. I wonder if.
There's any other ways you can mess around with that with that
clock to make it if? You will like, you know.
It's own. R.E.M.
Pod Oh it's. Oh yeah, sure, R.E.M.
Pod. Yeah, if I wanted.
To I could. Do it.
But The thing is, is, are all the parts in there?
Are they just? Not hooked up, so all the parts
are. In the clock, what?
What? But what's not in the clock is
what goes in the bottom, the bottom chassis of it.
And that's the pendulum and the weights, the counterweights.
And you need those for that clock to work.
That clock. Yeah, for sure you can't, you
can't wind it up without that, you know, without those in fix
his grandfather clocks. That must be like some old
school, like you need, like, you know, just what is his name?
Who built Pinocchio? Giuseppe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Geppetto.
I have.
As long as as long as you need to find an old school Italian.
Bro to get in there and fix that as long as the clock.
Is in good shape I can get it to work like I know I know enough
about how gear driven stuff works it it's all cause and
effect with with with all gear gym what the fuck you're sitting
there like. You're a clock maker?
Oh, I'm not a clock maker, Mr. Glockenspiel.
It's like you think. I can get it to work.
I'm handy with stuff. You know this is there's handy
and then. There's like the intricacies of.
Johnny Glockenspiel. It's going to fix the.
Come on, it's the. Same thing with your mind.
If this thing's intact and you look at it and you look up how
it works and then there was something wrong with it, you
might not be able to fix what's wrong, but you'll be able to
troubleshoot. OK, this is what's wrong with
it. I need to get somebody in here
or this is what's wrong with it. I could fix this myself.
You can do that too. You know that?
You know that I know. Yes, I'm sure there's.
Youtubes and and chats you can help you out a lot but I bet but
it's like getting those parts you know?
It would be fun. You should figure out what kind
of parts you need for it. I just need one way.
I just need one weight right? But I'm saying like the.
Weights you should put in there. You got to find some haunted
shit and like, you know, let me. Well, you could do custom.
Weights, people do that, like all you need is the exact weight
of your of the weight. So for example, if it's a 20 LB
weight that you can literally go and look up like, hey, I have an
old clock, you know, an old grandfather clock.
I want a skull weight, you know, for the clock.
You think they make those? You can do that.
That's so, yeah, yeah. Or you can make it yourself how
hard you can take. You get a skull mole like.
Make it out of like bones. Got to be sick.
Right. Like something cool like if
you're going. To do it like it's something
cool, like what's the thing that's swinging on the bottom?
It should be a pentagram or you know, you know, what's you?
Know what's really cool is re mortaring it like going to a
haunted location and getting like a bunch of like dust off
the stone, you know like crumbling brick or or crumbling
cement or even dirt from a location and then throwing it in
a mold. So it's like OK, I have the
actual, you know, brick and mortar of this location turned
into a weight in the clock. You can do that too.
Yes, that's cool. Yeah, that would be cool.
Yeah, so but. You know, I love, I love how, by
the way, in this. Chat like you can.
You honestly could do no wrong. Who made?
Yeah, yeah, unless, unless it has to do.
With the weather. Unless it has to do with the
weather. And and what else?
There's something else. I'm drawing a blank right now,
but I know there's something else I get crucified for all the
time, so they'll take your word for it.
Which I which is great well, because they because they know
me that. I, when I say I'm going to do
something, I end up doing it. I've proven myself time and time
again. I'll fix that.
Gears and weights.
Gears and. Weights I don't know how to fix
a guy I mean just the under confidence makes me laugh it's
like what? What what grandfather clock?
What is it 200 years old? What a bunch of weights and
gears. I got this oh man, who are you
talking about? I'll tell you I'll.
Tell you what that's like, that's like it's like the
elevator here at the building. The elevator here shit the bet
right? And it had nothing to do with
any of the bro. Are you telling me you fixed the
elevator? In your building, No.
I pointed them in the. Direction to fix the elevator.
I didn't have the God, No, Yeah. 'Cause I I I didn't.
I, I, I, I knew the how, I just didn't have the skill.
What would they had to do with that elevator is they had to
research. I pointed them in the right
direction. I said, guys, listen, what's
wrong with this elevator is the Shiv is tearing apart the metal
coils, the metal, the metal wires.
I'm like, you need to get somebody in there, machinist to
redo the shift, an elevator repairman.
No or no. There were.
There were not. None any of the the regular
elevator repair people the mechanics had didn't have the
know how they had to pull a guy out in a retirement.
There was an 83 year old man in this, in this thing, right with
four other guys standing around in awe as he re machine the
shift just so it wouldn't tear apart though, dude, it was
insane to watch. And he's sitting there.
He's like, I never thought I'd do this again, you know, and you
know, Bah, Bah, Bah. He's like going, I was like,
dude, I'm like, this is epic. You know, it's almost like, you
know, the story of like the guy with the, you know, goes up
couple taps of the hammer, $4000 later, you know, why am I paying
this much? Because you got to know where to
tap, you know? Right, right.
It's it's it's very similar. But like so I have the know how
with things, but the means not always.
So I called for help call I I have the know how.
I know how to call up. You know, it's funny.
I have a I'll tell you something about dryer.
I have AI probably told the story before, but I have a the
dryer. I have a clothes dryer is 23
years old. I think I got it before Katie
and Stackable before. No.
No, it's a, it's an old Kenmore, but Katie and I got it before we
got married. It was like we bought, we bought
it that first time. But so it's just it's decent
bread. Too Dude, it just works.
Right. So I had, I've had it repaired
twice and once was a it needed a belt and the other was the
button that, you know, when you open the door it pushed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Central.
Button. Yep, Yep.
So they had to fix that. Button.
That's it. I asked the I asked the guy
repairs and I go, listen, I got a feeling this thing's over 20
years old, it's going to crap out.
What should I buy? He goes, he looks at me dead in
the face. He goes, never get rid of this
dryer. He goes, he goes, it's got 7
parts. That's all it's got.
And he's like, they're all fixable.
And it is, it's very easy. He's like, he's like you're
going to spend. He goes you'll spend $1500 on an
LG, it'll be done in 10 years. The warranty is less than that.
In 10 years it's done. He's like they don't make these
because my dryer has like 5 settings hot medium low right?
Like a delegates a permanent. Press and then.
A timer, that's it. There's no steam clean.
There's no other bullshit, like none of that shit.
It's just hot or not hot and it just dry.
It just works. It's a gas dry.
It's a are there things that are probably more efficient?
Yes. But my shit works and it's just
like 7 parts. So if they look at they come
over and they're just yeah, man, don't don't ever get rid.
Like this is the great. This is the the machine that
nobody would save because you're going to buy something fancy in
a new place. But we've taken it with us in
all of our houses. It's like our I'll, I'll be so
sad when that thing finally craps out.
It finally craps out, you know? Yeah, the only way that's
crapping out is if the if the drum cracks, if some creepy
thing happens and it gets off set and the drum cracks.
Other than that, you're probably never there but but.
Yeah, but it's like I just get a new.
I bet I could just get a new drum.
Yeah. What if it's like there's it's
like even back It's dude, if if it goes to drum, it's.
Folded, you know, don't fold the best then.
Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's absolutely the best.
Well, the the new apartment. Were in you know, it was funny
because Lisa like went to go to a load of laundry.
She calls me she's like, John, take a look at this and I'm
like, oh, what's wrong with this thing?
It's it's a stackable LG right. So, you know, washer on the
bottom, dryer on the top. And I'm like, I'm like, what's I
was like, what's the problem? She's like, dude, it's got all
these settings. This thing is like, you know,
all these things. And I'm like, I'm like Lisa,
screw all these other settings. Just go to normal and hit start.
So we're eating dinner and all of a sudden the things like, you
know, mantra's done and, you know, everybody looks at me and
I'm like, it's not a ghost. It's the damn washer and dryer,
right? Right.
You know it's the damn washer. And Dryer, it's an LG.
They do this, you know, because they're not used to that.
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was, It was.
But they all literally just looked right at me.
And I'm like, what? But the experience is telling
you, though. That's funny.
They, they, everyone thinks the spirits are telling you the
laundries then. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
And then I'm like, you think I'd move you?
You think I'd move you into another haunted house?
You know, like we're saving that for buck out.
Oh my God, that's so great. Oh man.
Well, listen, we've got so next Thursday I will be on a plane,
but we'll try to join in and do something Thursday night when I
get into town. Tuesday we got a new episode.
Guys. Thanks for bearing with us.
A lot of technical difficulties. Sometimes it happens on these
lives. I don't know what was going on
with my service today. It just happens.
But again, oh oh. I'm sorry to cut you off, Gary.
When I'm walking back, as I gave him a quick preview of
everything I did while you were, you know, experiencing the
difficulties when I'm walking back and on my right hand side,
I think I saw something in the mirror.
OK, So take a look. Yeah, Yeah, check that out.
See what's there. You know, it might have been my
imagination. You know, it's a hallway of
mirrors, so, you know, check to see.
I backed up. Oh, now you've got all that's
going to. Make your life.
Yeah, that's not going to ruin you.
See, if 16 different reflections are in a fun house, Yeah,
that's. Oh dude.
This, this, it's, it's mirrors everywhere in here, you know,
I'll tell you what which which you got.
A way to placement so that if you do like a light, it'll like
set a laser. Oh, just.
So half of these mirrors, I set it up, you know, so when Liam
walks out of his room, he can look at these mirrors and he can
see the front door. Right, so he can literally look
at one mirror. And see the front door and the
same thing. You can go and you can see, you
know, Liam's door. And then unfortunately because
of the TV, which I'm not getting rid of her taking down.
So I have plans for that. It doesn't do it all the way
around or I'd be able to get here too, you know, just watch
TV from any. Watch Yeah Yeah from any you.
Know any spot so well? But I'll I'll tell you what
dude, it's crazy hanging all this stuff up.
It it makes me, it makes me really think like how much room
I really didn't have in that tower, even though it was 3
floors. Like like just the like the way
the layout is like, decorating this place has been way more
easier and way more fun than decorating the tower.
It's so like also you're not. Paralyzed by choice in that
apartment, you know what I mean like this is the space you have
you have to use it. Whereas in that tower it's like,
oh I got this little cubby, I got this room here I got this
corner here. What am I going to do with this
level here? Oh, what should we do?
Upstair you start to get you sort of get stuck in your own
way. But when you have a finite
amount of space, you can just say I know exactly how to make.
This cool and. And then you could start wedding
out the stuff that's not going to work much easier too, you
know. Yes, Yep, exactly.
All right. But anyway, that's it for today,
guys. Thank you for joining us.

Again, we got some great, great guests coming up, not just Brian
Sterling vet on Tuesday. We've also got a demonologist,
James and Eddie coming up. Anito, sorry, coming up, we've
got a story from a near death experience about a man who was
shot flat lined and then went to hell.
That is a great story and total other look at the look at the
spirits and what they are and where that's going.
You could look up Matthew Botsford.
He's he's on the web. He's I've known him for a long
time because I'm doing another thing with near death
experiences, but that one is is wild.
Lauren Heller, Hellerkson, remember her the the science
ghost under she made her own rampage.
That episode's coming out. She's super fun.
And again, the interview we just did with Beck Ravenswood, the
witch who's fighting back, the Hanover witch from Pennsylvania,
of course, giving her a hard time.
Those Pennsylvanians giving her imagine, imagine, imagine.
You know, it's like you really think about like, you know, the
the the police chief, like if, OK, let's just put it this way.
If I was a man of color, right? If I came from, If I came.
From a different. Country.
OK, I and I heard that story. I would stay the fuck away from
that entire state. It goes, it goes.
Against everything you know, it's just like it's it lacks
common sense. They're picking on her for some
reason that has nothing to do with that law.
Yeah, really whether? It's religion.
Or it's how should how, how they identify something about it's
not right and it lacks any common sense, any common sense.
I'm just. I'm just upholding.
The laws for 1961 against. Tarot card readings like Go Eat.
It man, I'll take it a step further.
Being not even the way I look, the way I sound, you know, going
there, sometimes I might think twice to open, you know, by
opening my mouth, right? Being you're a cop, you know,
being you're a cop or being right.
It's like, are you kidding me? Like, what are we, you know,
back in the 1800s, dude, insane. The story.
The story is insane. Yeah, that's a great story.
And then we reach out that too. So guys, unless you're

You know, we are going to be doing things.
We're testing stuff, we're checking things.
Out we're, you know, it's a fun we're getting we're starting to
get real answers and or it's we could start painting a better
picture or a better understanding of what's
happening as you know, making sense of the documentation, if
you will. Right.
Yeah. Yep.
And the people and the people that that are in it, I love.
I love. Getting all the different
perspectives and hearing everyone's and you start really
seeing the the nature versus nature of it and what drives
them and what they see out of it.
And then, and then what's really fun for me is hearing all the
different perspectives. But it's what's common in it,
right? Yes.
And maybe. That's what.
We're talking about and how we figure out.
It's crazy. Yes, All right, man, but I'm
going to split and have a great night.
Have a safe night and I will see dude, we'll be together.
