Starting point is 00:00:00 Do aliens abduct cows purely for their milk? Do we build robots, or do robots build us? These are some of the questions that you can find the answers to on This Paranormal Life. Welcome to the podcast. I'm Rory Powers, your host for today, joined by Kit Greer. Howdy. If you haven't listened to this podcast before, basically every week we take a paranormal story, and as paranormal, professional paranormal investigators dissect that story and come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is the truth it's a fine line there's no middle ground between the truth and a lie
Starting point is 00:00:36 you're either truthing or lying yeah as you say i like that word dissect it's like whenever you're in sounds like we've got one here on the table, doesn't it? Yeah, it's like in science class and they give you the frog and you open it up to see if there's a ghost inside. Of course there is. Only we could see it. So on today's episode, we're not going to dilly-dally. We're going to go straight in here. On today's episode, we're actually going to be taking a request from a listener.
Starting point is 00:01:03 So this is from Jonathan on Twitter. Shout out to you, Jonathan. Shout out, Jonathan. He wants us to investigate the ghost of Bluebell Hill. And God knows we can't turn down a request to investigate a goddamn ghost. Exactly. I mean, it's literally our jobs. It's the one thing that we should be doing.
Starting point is 00:01:20 It's how we put food on the table. It's how we get to sleep at night. So thanks for writing in jonathan if you have your own suggestions folks send them in and also if you have your own experience and don't mind us poking fun at the story a little bit send it in and we will hashtag investigate that's right i mean i've talked briefly about my paranormal experience and i kind of cut you off you did yeah and i think it's kind of a funny joke to have that just be ambiguous
Starting point is 00:01:46 along the whole series. Yeah, that's true. But it was in Dublin and it did involve a small gorilla-like man. Okay, we'll just breeze on here. So, sorry. In the edit, please start our little mystical theme song right now.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Ding. There we go. So the story of the blue bell shit. All right. Can you please cut the song now and we're going to restart. David, rewind. Rewind, David. So the story of the ghost of Blue Bell Hill is one of heartbreak, tragedy, and hauntings. It all started back in 1965 with a young girl named Susan. Now, Susan was your average 22 year old girl. She was young, kind, taking Molly, popping off, smooching boys, full of life for now.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Oh Christ Susan, run! She was engaged to an RAF technician called Brian Whetton. And on this night, November 19th, she was out celebrating her hen do before the wedding the next day. I don't really know what hen do's were like. Oh, I do. I've been on many. In 1965? Hell yeah, dude. What a year.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Because now, like what, 2000 and... God, what year is it? 2016? Is it?? 2016, is it? Oh God, is it 17? It's such a caricature of a paranormal investigator. This isn't a bit. No idea. This isn't a bit. So it's the year 3000.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Alien. Alien years. What year is it? It's 17. Sorry, 17, right? Yeah, it's for sure 17. So hen parties these days are like dick straws and inflatable penises. Oh my God, dick straws.
Starting point is 00:03:29 That was the first thing I was going to say, dick straws. So I guess like 1965 style dicks, but I guess a lot of pubes and I don't know. What did they do back then? Yeah, it's just like pubic bush straws. Bush straws. It's not even a straw so much as a sponge. And you soak up the drink through the sponge. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh, Christ. Moving on. I wish we shouldn't have dealt on this for so long. Oh, my God. So after a long night of celebrating, Susan and her friends were driving back home on the A229. You shouldn't be driving. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Basically, the girls are on their way to try and meet up with some of their boyfriends before the wedding in the morning. I know, right? This already sounds like a pretty crazy night. Yeah, it really does. But as they sped home, Susan's car spun out of control. Oh, no. I'm sorry I said it.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Sliding off course and colliding with an oncoming Jaguar. Oh, Christ. It was a horrific crash. Yeah. One of Susan's friends. Is that an animal jaguar uh no no david please please put in jaguar sound effects at this point she collided with a mythical beast the griffin was wounded but not killed at this point you just segue into a harry potter novel
Starting point is 00:04:42 like retelling uh it was a car they hit the car okay uh horrific crash one of susan's friends was killed instantly and susan had to be rushed to hospital it was only a few days before susan was also dead oh christ what are our thoughts it's sad just real sad that's why i did warn did warn you. And I'm going back here into my notes. First line of paragraph two. As you'll see, it is a story of quote unquote heartbreak and tragedy. That's true. You did kind of warn us.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Trigger warning, folks. You knew we were going to get into Mulvan. That's right. Do you think they got married the next day? Do you think the bride and groom? Oh, like a hospital wedding. I think there was a better term to use there. But hospital wedding. It's like a better term to use there but hospital wedding it's like a
Starting point is 00:05:27 shotgun wedding but in a hospital that's very it's very sitcommy isn't it yeah like car crash before and then she's gonna wake up with amnesia and be like i don't remember who my husband was so true um i mean it's sad right it's sad it's a sad story you know you've already got a girl who tragically loses her life the day before her wedding it's you couldn't write this stuff god damn you know what was probably they were probably driving in the car bush everywhere pubes everywhere they can't even see the road at this point swerved off hit this mythical beast of a car omdetna just to also just to show you how bad this crash actually was no i do i have a photo you drive into me jesus christ to show you how how painful this was on the husband i'm gonna stab you i think in the heart wow okay this is what it felt like on the night you know i actually

And I know, yeah, sure, she's dead
Starting point is 00:08:08 and we're going to have to bury her, but the parking, people booked hotels. Oh God, no, oh no. And they're like, I know it's going to be difficult. The honeymoon, oh. What are we supposed to do with all these flowers? Okay, we have dozens of bouquets. It's probably, you can reuse those flowers pretty visually
Starting point is 00:08:26 Yeah, so unfortunately that's what happened with Susan years passed and Bluebell Hill and the a-229 Became known for the horrible incident that took place that night in 1965 Mmm, but that wouldn't be all it was known for Jesus in 1992 Ian Sharp a a 54-year-old coach driver, was finishing up his journey for the night, speeding down the A229,
Starting point is 00:08:53 aka Ghost Lane. As he drove down the road, he noticed a woman standing at the side, slightly lit by the glow in his headlights. Bush for days. His headlights ignited the glow of an inflatable penis. He described the woman as normal looking, with shoulder-length hair,
Starting point is 00:09:19 wearing a lightish coat. Nothing unusual there. Okay. But as he got closer, he noticed her unusually large eyes. All of a sudden, the woman ran in front of the car, keeping her eyes locked on Ian.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Oh, Christ. That's pretty scary, right? That is really scary. At this point, it was too late to slow down. Ian plowed into the woman, sending her underneath the car. That's fair, Ian.
Starting point is 00:09:44 That's fair. Keep going. At this point, he slammed on the car. That's fair, Ian. That's fair. Keep going. At this point, he slammed on the brakes because, you know, he's killed a woman. Yeah. In sheer panic, he got out of the car and checked underneath. Oh, can you imagine? But there was no one there. What?
Starting point is 00:09:58 Is there any damage to his car? Like, what's up? Confused, Ian went to the police station to report what had happened. Which, fair play, Ian. You know, you don't get up to the situation. He report what had happened which fair play yeah you know you don't get up to the situation he seems like i mean he basically won the lottery he mowed someone down and thought he was about to go to jail forever but there's no body it didn't happen he can take his bloody ass hands all the way to the bank he's got away with it uh but when he returned to the car with the officers there was no body on the floor and even stranger
Starting point is 00:10:25 no dent or marks on his car david mysterious music go on ian said my impression of a ghost is something you can see through i should do this with a funny voice actually yeah uh i think this is in the uk, so we've never really done a British voice for a witnesser of the paranormal. Yeah, I mean, let's go for a super realistic, super down-to-earth, normal British voice. Yeah, because it's a serious story. Yeah, not hammy, you know. No, no, no. Yeah, I mean, it's a serious podcast.
Starting point is 00:11:01 So Ian said, My impression of a ghost is something you can't see through. All white or pale. But she was a normal woman. So. Bravo. Bravo. On your call.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Bravo. Bravo. A fellow radar, I see. So did Ian accidentally hit a homeless woman with his car? Or did he just encounter the ghost of Susan, the forever bride-to-be? The second one. Of course, because there's no other explanation. It sounds like, from his testimony, from Ian's testimony,
Starting point is 00:11:39 that he genuinely believes he did smack a woman with his car. That's not something, something you know you see people being like oh i saw a face in the i saw a face in the frosting of a window yeah it was a ghoulish man when i look back yes the evaporation had gone christ and i shan't have seen him again i don't know i was trying to throw something in there but you know something very just fleeting and could be mistaken as anything. Ian's borderline plowed down a woman in his car. Because I can vouch for this. I mean, you drive. You hit so many women with your truck.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I mean, my God. You call it the death mobile. I have a freaking, what is it called? Like a house arrest tag on my leg right now. I get released once a week from prison okay guys to record a podcast and go straight back to the pen scrubbing potatoes for all i'm worth i still remember that one time you said you pitched it as a road trip around ireland it was the most horrific thing i've ever seen 20 minutes in i remember having this conversation with you you
Starting point is 00:12:42 were saying you know what it's just like. I said, what? And you went, Mad Max. And I said, it's not Mad Max. It's not Mad Max, Kit. You can't just keep mowing people down. You screamed, witness me. You sprayed the chrome. As soon as I got in the car, my voice just started rising,
Starting point is 00:12:58 becoming more and more goblin-like until I was cackling at the top of my lungs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my lungs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. Yeah, but I can vouch for this because I, at one time, was driving from Cork, which is, for anyone who doesn't realise, is the bottom of Ireland,
Starting point is 00:13:16 back to my house. But I thought Cork floated. That's the podcast for this week. We're going to head. Sorry, continue vouching for a man who hits women with the truck no sorry continue to be on his side that wasn't actually what i was no go ahead it wasn't it wasn't actually what i was i was getting at that just sounds like you're on his side yeah cool actually you're getting women i think they're equal to men ladies and gentlemen welcome to our political podcast today we're going to be talking about men and women
Starting point is 00:13:49 the brain size is it smaller is it not fact or fiction let's find out um the story please i was driving from the bottom of ireland to the top of ireland uh it's a long drive. And I tried to do, I think I left Cork at about 10 p.m. So like too late to be driving out of the country. Jesus, yeah. And I think I made it about two thirds of the way. And then I hallucinated a lion at the side of the road. Wow, really? So is this a lot of sleep deprivation?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Oh, okay. Just like tired as hell. And that was like, you kind of that stuff happens in cartoons and movies you don't really think that it's real but how vivid was this not very right it's like it's quite fleeting that like slipping in and out of consciousness yeah so it's really scary but i guess what i'm saying as well is that whilst it was very confusing and quite alarming i didn't think i i don't think i could ever imagine a scenario which i hit someone right well you know it could always be a blend of
Starting point is 00:14:52 both so let's say hypothetically you're driving down that road you kind of think you see a lion out of the corners of your eye next thing you know you go over a log that's been sitting in the road your mind automatically pieces together what you've seen and what you've heard and felt you've hit a lion you've killed a lion 100 you're a borderline lion hunter you are literally cecil alliance dentist murderer yeah remember that guy christ i know i mean he got some bad i'm well deserved too jesus yeah and he killed a lion where are we lying right now do you think ian nice dude do you think ian hit a ghost with his car or do you think ian imagined hitting a ghost with his car because then it throws into question what is it i mean what is a ghost you know because i was under the impression of ian here uh i'll recite one of his lines please she was all white all pale but she was a normal woman my impression
Starting point is 00:15:45 of a ghost is something you can see through governor and you know that would imply that we're it's in the same belief that we are that they're like the twins from the matrix you know you just pass straight through them yeah yeah yeah that's interesting i know because if you if you hit them then that's i mean is that a zombie you know yeah where do you draw the line yeah i guess we're gonna find out let's continue to investigate now this is nearly one example of a paranormal sighting at blue bell hill okay others have hit the exact same woman with their car oh my god you kept that to yourself 16 minutes it's a. I'm constructing a narrative. You're letting me run my mind.
Starting point is 00:16:27 That's what you're doing. Only to find, like Ian, that the body is missing. Some people get, this is where it gets really creepy. Some people have picked up hitchhikers in their car. Oh, no. Only to discover that moments later, they've disappeared. Oh, Christ. Can you imagine? Wouldn't that be terrifying?
Starting point is 00:16:45 So it's like, pick them up in the car yeah come on in I guess they're kind of creepy maybe hood up you know all right okay drive a little bit down the road and you're like so where do you want to you turn around gone crazy I can you imagine next time you're cleaning your car and you're like giving it you've got the little mini Hoover right and then you just Ghostbusters style, like stick it down the side of the seat, you hoover up a ghost. No! I said the Tesco Express! Well, in fact,
Starting point is 00:17:14 a sighting was reported as early as the 8th of January, 1993 and involved who I'm going to refer to to preserve their anonymity as the M family. Nice. Right? While they were driving home late at nightity, as the M family. Nice. Right? While they were driving home late at night. They're the marshals.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Okay, I said it. Moving on. They were driving home late at night, and they saw what they believed to be a haggard old woman walking across the road. Normal enough. Now, this night was particularly foggy, so the family weren't driving fast.
Starting point is 00:17:46 And as they approached the old woman, she turned at them and hissed. Like what? Like a snake? Like a cat? Snake demon. They felt an overwhelming sense of evil. In a panic, the family immediately drove away. But as they looked back, they could see the figure was waving a bundle of sticks at them.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Whoa. Now, if we don't think that the ghostly figures are directly linked to the 1965 incident, then they may be linked to Bluebell itself. Hmm. Okay, so just to go a little bit more on that theme, In England, the ghost is seen as the victim of a tragic incident. But in other countries, they may be viewed as a demon, god, witch, fairy, or prophet. So this is 1993. Yes. And the original crash happened when? 1965?
Starting point is 00:18:43 Yeah, 60s. Do ghosts age? I know we've been asking a lot of big questions on this podcast recently is santa a goblin um i mean that's it that's all we've been asking recently do can ghosts age do you when you die do you remain the same age that you died at i feel like i don't know if it's true but that seems to be ghost 101 if we're to believe like depiction in the media and stuff that ghosts do not age because that's another thing isn't it that you die in your clothes you die in the clothes that's why you see like there's like victorian ghosts yeah you know you don't have like a little victorian kid that died and now he's got like a fidget 200 years old with a fidget spinner and a snapback you're in like a fidget spinner. 200 years old with a fidget spinner and a snapback. You're in like a haunted cellar in Edinburgh and you're just like, do I hear bangarang by Skrillex?
Starting point is 00:19:31 He's healing through the crypts with a boombox on his shoulder. Yeah, that's a popular thing. Which does kind of suck because imagine if you got killed in a really embarrassing accident. Yeah, if you're like you know elvis one of these people are like wasn't it like elvis like am i getting like elvis mixed up with like henry the eighth or some shit who died in the toilet he killed so many of his wives elvis did yeah he beheaded them and henry the eighth died of cheeseburgers i believe uh yeah like henry the eighth's music
Starting point is 00:20:06 was just going downhill it wasn't really taking off he wasn't the icon he ended up doing like a late night vegas show it was pretty sad um well yeah i think someone died on the toilet yeah i'm not making that up yeah imagine like imagine if you were a really hard-working dude and then just to make some extra bucks a couple hours a week you're like i'm just gonna be like there's an opening as a child's entertainer yeah so it's like two hours a week you gotta dress as a clown just for two hours and you're like so it's the worst part of your week make balloon animals yeah we're like it's fine i only have to do this for two nights week it's not like i have to do this for eternity yeah i swear and i'm only saving up so i can like not die so i can not die and become a ghost uh and then i don't
Starting point is 00:20:53 know you like choke on a freaking balloon animal or something and then you're like forever a ghost clown imagine how traumatized you'd be at your sixth birthday and your dad hires a clown and the clown instantly dies and you know that's happened if we google that right now
Starting point is 00:21:13 that has happened somewhere I love it I'm like I'm set I'm set in the scene right now okay like sunny Sunday
Starting point is 00:21:18 in like a family's backyard you got like birthday party music yay all the kids are having a good time alright kids come on
Starting point is 00:21:24 gather round gather round we got a very special treat for Billy's eightth birthday that's right You got like birthday party music. Yay, all the kids are having a good time. All right, kids, come on, gather around, gather around. We've got a very special treat for Billy's age. That's right. 12. Billy's, thank you all for coming. Parents really appreciate it. The gifts, very much appreciated. We have some gluten-free cake over here for the little ones who have sensitive tummies.
Starting point is 00:21:40 It's a very special day today, so we've decided to bring in a very special person. Ladies and gentlemen, kids, please welcome Bozo the Clown. That's right, Bozo the Clown. Yep. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, do you guys like, do you kids like balloon animals? Yeah, sometimes. Do you kids like balloon animals? That's what they are.
Starting point is 00:21:58 What kind of animals do you like? Do you want a ghost? A little ghost balloon animal? Yeah, maybe a ghost. All right, well, I'm going to do one right away. Here we go. Go, Bozo. Go, Bozo.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Daddy, he's dying. Oh, God. Christ, not again, kids. Give me the freaking Heimlich. Yay, it's part of the act. Oh, Jesus. Oh, no. I love that every time he's getting the Heimlich yay it's part of the act oh Jesus oh no I love that every time
Starting point is 00:22:28 he's like getting the Heimlich maneuver that every time the dad of Billy squeezes him the balloon is just like inflating out of his mouth the kids cheering yeah he was actually doing business school during the days
Starting point is 00:22:44 but now he has to go visit his wife in her dreams as a clown ghost. My God. Basically haunting her every night. Anytime he tries to talk, a balloon comes up. So that is but one theory of how ghosts work. One theory, one story. Take from it what you will. So as I said, in England, Of how ghosts work. One theory, one story. Take from it what you will.
Starting point is 00:23:11 So as I said, in England, this type of ghost is seen as the victim of a tragic accident. But in other countries, may be viewed as a demon, god, witch, fairy, or prophet. So for example, in one culture, people believe in the Lang Su Yar. Okay. Now this is a vampire who frequents remote stretches of road disguised as a beautiful woman so not quite ghosts but along that same kind of kind of line kind of shapeshifter type deal uh after obtaining a lift and assaulting its victim it flies off into the air uttering blood-curling screams wow okay we Okay. We talk about Bluebell Hill. And I did this on purpose, which was focusing it on this accident with Susan on the night of the wedding.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Because it's a romantic story. And if there's any hauntings that take place, what a crazy, horrible thing to happen to be a baseline for paranormal activity. Yeah. But we see instances like this. We see an evil hissing woman waving sticks about we've seen multiple people hit this woman with their car maybe it's just a paranormal stretch of land yeah rather than honing in on just one accident because there's a there's a whole i mean that's a whole school of thought that we haven't really come across too much yet but this have you come
Starting point is 00:24:20 across the idea of like ley lines and things like that? No. A ley line? As far as I understand, it's just like basically that there's geographic lines that are not visible to the naked eye, but that cross up and down the country all over the world. And that points where these are in close proximity or overlap with each other, are in close proximity or overlap with each other that this causes a kind of weird energy that can maybe cause paranormal instances to to happen over a certain area so a real thing so in the same well well don't ask me that but in the same way that you know tectonic plates on the
Starting point is 00:25:02 earth's crust you know overlap and that causes volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. Actual effects. In the same way tectonic plates cause ghosts, ghouls, demons. Right. That maybe these ley lines and particular geographic properties that we can't see cause paranormal phenomena. Okay, that's interesting. We should totally find out where our closest
Starting point is 00:25:26 ley lines are oh yeah there's gotta be one in london and go and try and piss off some ghosts yeah antagonize the shit about them yeah dress up as an old woman wave sticks you go as bozo the clown so as we said there is a possibility that it's the actual location itself rather than the events that have taken place there in the past so let's look a little bit at bluebell hill now these are some extracts that i found online um to talk a little bit about bluebell hill okay so uh on bluebell hill there were actually ruins of a roman temple but the romans were not the first people to call the hill their home in 455. I don't even know how to pronounce that properly. What would you say? In 455? Yeah. 455 AD. Yeah. Very early. In very early times, the hillside rang with the
Starting point is 00:26:16 cries of battle as Vortimer, king of the Britons, fought the Saxons who were led by the mercenaries Britons fought the Saxons who were led by the mercenaries Hengist and Horsa. Jesus. We are told that the battle raged on all day. And at the final reckoning, Vortimer lay dead, as did Horsa. So they're saying that Vortimer was buried somewhere near the hill. Yeah. It's like it's a bloody, bloody, horrible murder field, essentially. So let alone one person dying at this site we know that
Starting point is 00:26:45 probably hundreds of people died on this site so there's a lot of activity at this site yeah interesting this is like how do we want to look at this could we say as you as you said maybe this is a point of ley lines where even as early on as as what 455 a5 ad this was a cursed place where you know a battle was just drawn to it maybe that's where the car crash was drawn to that could have could have happened anywhere that could have happened 20 miles down the stretch 20 miles up the stretch but it happened at the same point bluebell hill is this part of land cursed can land be cursed you know we got haunted houses where we uh we hear about ghosts and um people that have passed on being linked to a location because of like emotional connections but what about just a piece of land yeah i mean it's definitely it's right up there as like a
Starting point is 00:27:38 like a meme or a motif throughout all paranormal stories i mean you look at indian burial sites um yeah hauntings it relies on the geographical location it's not so much yeah that it's this thing of like ghosts they're able to walk through walls and haunt people and live for many thousands of years they don't seem to be able to wander very far no they can't really just because like they've been there for hundreds of years. If they wanted, they could have walked around the world five times. Yeah. But they don't.
Starting point is 00:28:09 They seem to kind of stay put. A lot of times it's in really horrible places. Like, if I died and became a ghost, I'm not going to stay here in my London flat. But it has to be somewhere that you're associated with. Like, where would it be? It would be kind of hard to choose, don't you think? Yeah. Maybe that's like ghost law. You have to be associated with in some way yeah or it logically doesn't make any sense yeah i mean because it would be kind of weird imagine if like
Starting point is 00:28:33 yeah like you know when you're on like uh if you're on like a long drive like i was talking about earlier or you're like traveling and you do like a stopover and you have to like um and you're like oh i kind of need the bathroom I'll just like stop at this garage. You know, you go to the bathroom, maybe buy some chewing gum in the shop and then you get like knocked down by a car or gunned down there. And you have to haunt that goddamn,
Starting point is 00:28:55 like Sainsbury's, like petrol station for the next thousand years. I know it's a shame because in Susan's case, it would have been almost more romantic if she haunted the church where her wedding was going to take place wow imagine that one yeah so it's like uh when people are giving their vows they can swear that out through the windows the stained glass windows they can see susan like looking at be the happiest day of your life god that would be a good ghost story. That's a good one. But no, she's stuck on this little stretch of road,
Starting point is 00:29:30 freezing her little ghost nips off. Like, it's got to be horrible out there. Excuse you. I'd be so apathetic. Like, after two years of doing that, a car comes down the street, I'd be like, yeah, what up? Boo, bitch.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'm not bothered with this. I know. I'm so bored, I'm literally going to try and kill myself again by throwing myself into Ian's car. Do you think, I think if, if I died and became a ghost, I think I would go out of my way. If like I could summon all my ghostly abilities,
Starting point is 00:29:55 I would just go like full Casper, the friendly ghost, and like try to pretend to be human and stuff. And I would just like befriend people. Like I would like, I would look like a mannequin i'd have like sunglasses like a scarf yeah moving around all that kind of stuff just just so i could like yeah hang out in the real world it seems like it'd be lonely and also it'd be a
Starting point is 00:30:15 good idea to hide the clown clothes that you were buried in just wear as much as you possibly can still just a red nose though so where do you lie on this thing of haunted locations i'm always a little skeptical with ghosts okay um mostly because i myself have never had a paranormal experience with uh ghostly figures i'm just hovering above the sofa two inches uh-huh um so it's a little bit difficult for me to say. I do like these stories. I find them quite romantic. But again, in this case, we're getting a lot lack of evidence.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Uh-huh. We're hearing testimonies from people who don't have dented cars. There's no blood on the bonnet. There's no photographic evidence. Stories just pass down. I do find it a little bit weird that this has happened so... like you know there's no blood on the bonnet there's no photographic evidence stories just passed down i do find it a little bit weird that this has happened so it's happened so many times essentially that the police when people it's reported to the police they're like yeah yeah we know we already know we've been dealing with this for a very long time i know it's funny isn't
Starting point is 00:31:18 it because it's like this question comes down to you know is it real or not is there a ghost there are ghosts even real but yeah as you say if it real or not is there a ghost there are ghosts even real yeah but yeah as you say if it gets to the point where the local authorities have just had to accept that there is this phenomenon called the the blue you know bluebell hill bluebell hill haunting and that people are just going to continue seeing ghosts there it's like that's kind of as real as it gets yeah like if that's been happening for hundreds of years and will continue to happen. Which is almost enough to move the needle
Starting point is 00:31:51 on the paranormal scale. But it ain't. But it's a lie. We know as professionals, we can't do this on testimony alone. We need some sort of facts. We need some sort of evidence. I'm going to have to chalk this one up to a loss.
Starting point is 00:32:05 I'm saying it's not real. I'm saying the glove don't fit, baby. That's two no's. That's two no's. So unfortunately, in regards to the ghost of Bluebell Hill, it's not real. And thanks for nothing, Joshua, for emailing that one in. It's definitely not Joshua. Jonathan. The disrespect. Joshua for emailing that one in it's definitely not Joshua um Jonathan

Starting point is 00:33:54 you may notice that i think we missed one of our uploads last week uh going forward we're going to be trying to look at uploading one great podcast a week which is going to be every tuesday i'm gonna be real with you guys this show takes a lot of work it does it's a surprising amount of work that we did not anticipate when we started it it's not really your typical podcast you know there are there is editing takes place we love adding in sound effects and building little scenes and soundscapes we don't want to reach a point where we have to take that away because i think it's one of the funniest parts of the podcast and i think we both rather do one awesome podcast a week than pulling our
Starting point is 00:34:34 hair out trying to dish out two mediocre podcasts a week yeah i think uh we we were super focused on bringing you guys lots of content for the kind of for the launch of the podcast for the last six weeks it's been. But yeah, I think it's something we'd like to come back to down the line if we can work out a way of doing it. But at the moment, I think we just want to focus on bringing other things to you guys
Starting point is 00:35:00 and more stuff on social media and maybe other formats of content like video and hell, whatever you guys think would be cool. Exactly. But underlying point, don't worry. The show is going nowhere. We will be with you weekly every Tuesday. Every goddamn Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Delivering the best goddamn government secrets you have never even known. The best way to support the podcast at this point, I guess, is just spreading the word. Tell your friends and family you know everyone's always looking for podcast recommendations we all have non-believers skeptical little shits in our life that's right fixed up that need the dose of the truth take their shit while they're dressed as clowns so they're gonna deal with that yeah just spreading
Starting point is 00:35:42 the word telling friends that's that's the way to do it folks and as always like we're so appreciative everyone tuning in all the all the the great feedback every week it's uh so much appreciated keeps us driven to keep producing good podcasts yeah so until we see you next week investigate hashtag investigate
