Is the experience of déjà vu proof of a tear in the space-time continuum? Are dogs that can sense earthquakes actually just causing earthquakes? Answers to these questions and more on this episode of This Paranormal Life. Welcome to the podcast. As always, I'm your professional paranormal host investigator, Kit Greer, joined by my professional paranormal host investigator pal, Mr. Rory Powers. Hello, everybody. Back at it again on a Tuesday. Back at it again. Back on our bullshit.

I love your intro where it's like you stutter on the first one and the second one you're like, Every time I stutter, is that not my own f***ing fault, but aliens messing with my brainwaves? You're gonna pin that on me? It's my debilitating lisp actually extraterrestrial intervention? Is my social anxiety and awkwardness around girls caused by the Jersey Devil? Maybe. Is my inability to commit to a life partner actually the cabra welcome to the podcast this is the podcast where every week we dissect a different paranormal claim or tale and try and get to the bottom of what is true and what is false you know we've

trained for years in this industry and we thought it was high time to take our professional experience to the airwaves and teach you the listeners about what's out there, what's coming for you. Exactly. Could it possibly explode back in our faces with hatred and mean comments and disownment from my very own father? Yes. Sure, I gave up a high paying hedge fund managing job to make this podcast seven days a week. And granted, it's not paying off just yet but it's an investment investment in the truth yeah i'm not gonna i'm not gonna mess around any further rory okay the year is 1656 you haven't even said what we're talking about the year okay sorry continue is 1656 it sounds like a made-up year because it's like a reverse of itself like hannah yeah what are those called palindromes is that what that's called i think so it's not i mean the year actually isn't but it just rhymes a little bit good start

off track immediately derailed thousands of words to get through. And they're all palindromes. It's a Wikipedia list of palindromes. It's a small town of Kringa in what today is known as Croatia. A man named Jure Grando has suffered a long and drawn out illness and has to do what every father fears most, leave his young family to go on without him wait what that's what every man fears most yeah he's got kids what do you fear spiders sir your

kids are dying there's a spider in that hospital ward i'm not going near those children hell no hell to the no y'all can die out here before my kids become spider bait. Yeah, he has to leave his kids in this world. Because he's that sick. You know, ideally, kids go last. You know what I mean? Ideally, you die before your kids. Right. This is extremely basic.

Kids last, I guess. Yeah, sure. Why not? Same time would be ideal for me. But I guess last is also. That's actually a good call. Like meteorite. The minute I pass away, my hand's on the trigger so so in death like so you kill you cut your kid's life short is what

you're saying no like i would make it i would through years of raising them i would make them feel like they were supposed to die with me yeah yeah i mean i'm pretty sure that's a legal kind of emotional abuse where's the law where's Where's the law? I have it here. Oh, shit. Here it is. A giant book. The gun law. I'm sorry.

Are you a police officer? Here's the law. What are you inferring? I'm going to save those kids. All I've done so far in this episode is prove I'm a terrible parent. So let's keep going. All you've done in this podcast, enlarge. He passes away and leaves his children, now with nothing for them in Kringa.

They run away to Italy. Well, years pass and Jury Grando and his kids are but a distant memory in the village. But mystery is afoot in the town. At night, one of the households in the village heard a gentle knocking on the door. And within a few days, one of the family members at that address died. Unusual, but, you know, not totally crazy. Well, a few nights later, another house hears another knock. Someone else dies in mysterious circumstances just a few days later from that household.

This becomes a nightly occurrence. People are terrified in their beds at night, lest they hear a knock on their door and have to await death. The local priest, Father Giorgio, was disturbed. Some sort of murder criminal bastard was running about there causing these deaths. Well, one night, while investigating the mysterious deaths, Father Giorgio came face to face with the culprit. He was stalking the village after dark, causing chaos.

As Giorgio got close enough, he could see impossible. It was the man he had buried 16 years previous. Jure Grando! No! Giorgio holds up his cross from around his neck and yells, Behold! Jesus Christ! You vampire! Stop tormenting us! And Jure ran off. That's right.

Jury is maybe the oldest documented case of a vampire. No. What? Because the priest said you vampire to him. Yes. So clearly it's already an installed, I mean, mythological beast. Like, he didn't just like make up a name for the creature as soon as he saw it what kind of point are you trying to make no one like no one was walking through the woods

all right it's all a little creature and went there's bigfoot like they went they would have probably gone there's a furry monster no i think they would have said bigfoot are you telling me you didn't exit the womb knowing every word? Okay, I'm going to change this a different way. Let's say you're walking down the street late at night. Yes. And above you, you see this like pink cloud. Yeah.

Like roaming across the city with a snake for a head. Yes. Hissing at a smaller cloud. A flagenschneiser. Oh God, he knows it. Yeah. You know that? Dude. It's a what?

I mean, I'm blown away that you don't know these things. What is it called? A flagenschneiser. A flagensch knows it. Yeah. You know that? Dude. It's a what? I mean, I'm blown away that you don't know these things. What is it called? A flaggen Schneiser. A flaggen Schneiser. Yeah. And the origin of that would be? Comes from the Schneiser region of Germany. Of course.

Yeah. And the flaggen, I mean, that just means snake. In English, asshole. In the language. So how did he know it was a vampire? Okay, you guys have to trust me that there was a word that I forgot to note down that they used in their native tongue that roughly meant kind of Nosferatu creature of the night demon.

Okay. You know what? If we leave a blank gap here, we can find it later, and then we'll insert the word right now. Flagenschneiser. Don't say flagenschneiser. Shit. What was the cue?

So the priest held up his crucifix to this snake-headed creature. Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to take up the story yet again. He would be seen running around the village causing a ruckus. It's very straightforward. Okay. He would be seen running around the village causing a ruckus. And he would harass his ex-wife. It's very straightforward. Okay. I mean, that's not funny. That's not okay. Don't harass your ex-wife.

But that's just funny. It's just funny that you would come back from the dead. To do that. Yeah. It wasn't long until the villagers banded together to stop him. They set out to pierce his heart with a hawthorn stick. But whenever they confronted Jure and tried, the stick just bounced right off his chest and he ran off. Shit.

Instead, they decided to confront him at his grave. Nine villagers set off at dusk to the graveyard armed with stakes and torches. When they dug up Jure's grave, they found a perfectly preserved body. Sixteen years later after his death. And he had a big smile on his face. They said a few exorcism prayers and tried to put a stake through his heart once and for all

but it bounced off yet again. So one of the men took out a saw and sawed his head off. He let out a scream and blood started pouring out everywhere. Joey never bothered that big village again. So Rory, that was just like a little set the scene picture for you how much do you know about vampires hyper sniffles or whatever it's called hyper sniffles

it's when i get a really bad cold i get the hyper sniffles like a degree worse than the man flu hyper sniffles oh that is a paranormal plague that has ravaged my life. I mean, little, but I know enough about them that they suck blood. Yeah. They can't see their own reflection or be photographed, I think. Very good. Top of your class, sir. Yeah, well, that's why I studied.

That's why I paid for that degree online from that guy. What else? They have to be invited in places almost all of this knowledge comes from taika waititi's what we do in the shadows oh i don't think i've seen that one oh it's incredible it's a fake mockumentary about new zealand vampires oh yeah okay so funny um live live a long time yeah they live forever i mean forever i don't know about forever but for a long time they don't age is what I meant to say. Right.

Well, you can kill them. They are like mortal in that sense. Well, that's what I thought a wooden stake would do it. Yeah, we'll get to that. Okay. I didn't mean to read that bit. It was kind of f***ed up. But apparently a saw does it.

I guess a saw is like, I don't do it, you know. Yeah, it's kind of like zombies. It's like zombies are pretty much like, they're pretty, you know, roadworthy, like hard to kill. But if you take off their head, that kind of stops them. Can you imagine if like you and your friend became paranormal creatures? Yes. And you got bitten by a zombie and he got bitten by a vampire?

Oh my God. Because zombies are kind of- Can you imagine the sitcom? It'll be insane. What would it be called? Oh. I've got to think of a funny name here. Brains and Veins.

Oh, that was so good. Right off the bat. It didn't even sound like that we took a 40 minute break and edited the podcast so I could workshop. I have a beard now. There's a straight up blackboard behind me with like a brainstorm session. Yeah, because like a zombie is like a bad vampire you still have to eat flesh but you're ugly you're slow you're brain dead vampires like they're kind of charming yeah and like certainly since robert pattinson sort of oh you know redid the

whole thing they're they're actually hot now he is a twunk for sure. What does that mean? A twinkly hunk. I don't know if that's a real term. Well, I'm not sorry for not knowing that. He's a twavunk actually. He's a twinkly vampire hunk. It just rolls off the tongue. It's so good.

Okay. So everyone knows about vampires. They are so ubiquitous in myth, literature, and media that surely they're not even paranormal, they're just fiction. Well, that's where you're wrong. Bullshit. Excuse you. Keep it in. Oh, it's so popular that it must be fake.

Or it's so popular that it must be real. How about I flag that one up for you, Brainiacs? The more you go digging down this f***ed up rabbit hole, the more you realize that vampires are real and they're coming for us all okay all good stories have a beginning so let me take you to the earliest records of vampires and when you think about it the first time someone wrote about vampires is the first time a vampire messed up trying to jack someone how long were they going on eating people left right and center before someone lived long enough to put quill to paper well tales of vampires go back at least a thousand

years whilst today we associate vampires with Eastern Europe, basically every single culture of the world seems to point to a history of vampirism. Well, during the 1700s, vampire encounters boomed. Even government officials were hunting and staking vampires. This was during the Enlightenment, a time where folklore...

No, it wasn't! No, it wasn't! This was during the Enlightenment? This was very much during the Enlightenment't. This was during the Enlightenment? This was very much during the Enlightenment. What's the reverse of enlightenment? That's what that this is. This is the dumb- this is the bullshittery. During Enlightenment, it was a time when folklore and legend was being traded in for reason and justice. Myths were fading away, but vampire sightings were legit popping off. Okay.

They were officially... I mean, if you think about it that way, what more proof do you need? Because people were kind of like, okay, guys, Tom Cryer, and they're all standing around, and it's like, okay, if we can all agree... He's got the bell ringing. If we can all agree, just going forward for the next week,

that fairies... Look, guys, not real. I don't care what you say. Fairies, not real. Okay. Gob guys, not real. I don't care what you say. Fairies, not real. Okay. You know, goblins, not real. Right. Dwarfs, real. Very real, yes.

I mean, I am one. Of course. Vampires. Yes. Holy shit, standing behind you. Oh my God. So they're declared real. In this time of trading in all these folklore legends,

they were like, well, we can't toss the vampires because that stuff's happening on the daily. That's fair. That is fair. There were officially recorded encounters in East Prussia, which is sort of Germany today. In one such record, Mr. Petar Blagojevic died. He's a vampire.

Listen to that second name. He died and his afterlife started. Within eight days of his death, nine people were dead and all claimed on their deathbeds that Pitar himself had come to their bed and attacked him. Wait, what? No. They all died but were given enough, just enough life to declare that it was Pitar. I guess that was his thing.

That was his calling card, yes. He probably just took what he needed, just took a chunk, just like, sucked all the blood out, and then kind of left there like a little prune. And then they just died? Yeah. But they won't, like, this is another thing I don't understand. Why are you insisting on booking holes in his tail? Just, I don't know what, I don't know what kills someone and what turns someone into another vampire.

Yeah. Do you have to drink a vampire's blood to become a vampire? Or do you just get bitten by a vampire? Well, watching Let Me In starring Chloe Grace Moretz the other night, how I understand it, if it does enough damage to you to kill you, that's that. If it just takes like enough blood. Oh, to keep you alive. It doesn't like mess you up like rip

off your head and all right then you turn into a vampire okay i mean it's a bit like a zombie well no that's not fair zombies you you always turn into a zombie basically yeah you yeah yeah yeah basically even if you're like ripped apart yeah what if you're a vampire right and okay you're like let's go now we're in transylvania yes that noise is in there you know you're in your your castle you dive down yes my castle i'm giving you a lot of sound effects to work with here we're in Transylvania. Yes. Bat noises in there. You know, you're in your castle. You dive down into the streets. Yes, my castle.

I'm giving you a lot of sound effects to work with here. Dive down into the streets. Oh, is that a cat in the distance? I think I hear. Yeah, of course.

You hop into someone's house and you creep up to them and you go, I hope you're having a good sleep, David, because it will be the last sleep you have your life.

Oh, I hit my... I hit my Jesus Christ my elbow on the table there is that a vampire I reached my stakes so you go and you bite him blood like pouring everywhere you're halfway through you're like I'm gonna wreck I'm going to wreck this guy he's not going to be able to move again R-E-K-T. Next thing you know, iPhone alarm going off. The acoustic guitar one, you know? Yeah. You're like, Claire, I forgot to, I have to pick up Claire from football practice.

And you've got to like, you're like, what do I do? Do I just like pop his head or do I, you know, leave him to become a vampire now? Right. I have to deal with that. What if you get caught up in something, you know, him to become a vampire now right you have to deal with that what if you get caught up in something you know and you're late to pick up your little vampire right i don't know if it's an issue i mean do they care if they if they make more vampires yeah i guess it's like maybe it's your thing maybe you want to be the vampire it's like oh you're like you get to terrorize this place what if you show up some night to someone's house and

you're like oh this is going to be delicious and you look down and they're already dead and it's like pitar was here you're like oh for sake not again that's true you probably do want to keep keep things to yourself you know yeah you know next thing you know you you've just drank the blood of this like young handsome guy next thing you know he's taken claire on dates yeah and were like, Jesus Christ, I picked the biggest douchebag in the world to drink his blood. I have that blood in me now. That's ridiculous. And you have to deal

with that forever. Yeah, unless you stick your own heart. But they never did that in the movies. They were always like seemed pretty happy, you know. Maybe that vampire thing

is pretty great. Yeah. Let's give it a shot. I have bought these pills of blood. Petar's wife claimed that her dead husband visited her asking for shoes.

Sorry. There's a bit of blood there. Is it hot in here? Petar supposedly also visited his son looking for food. When he was refused, he killed his son and drank his blood. Oh, Jesus. I got twisted fast. The villagers were in a frenzy and along with local authorities,

found the body of Peter and put a stake through his heart. They claimed he had not decomposed at all since his death. This was actually reported. I admit the story seems like I'm taking on a ride here. But that story was actually reported in the Vien story seems like, I'm taking it on a ride here, but that story was actually reported in the Viennese newspaper, Die Weiner Zeitung. And that paper is still going today.

This caused hysteria. Scholars, priests, and philosophers were debating the existence of vampires. One scholar, and evidently a badass dude, paranormal researcher, Don... Blade.

Wesley sniped himself. A philosopher named Blade 2. The philosopher king, Wesley, took to the streets in his Ray-Bans and his buzz cut. Dom Augustine Calme published a paper in

1751 called The Treatise on the Apparitions of Spirits, Vampires and Revenantsants he was no cook either he was one of voltaire's most respected scholars and just like on this very podcast he used the latest scientific methods of the enlightenment as well as as well as case studies and anecdotal evidence to find out the truth sorry and. And he determined, they're real, my God, lock up your families and pets, they're coming.

God. And they're international. In Madagascar, they speak of the Ramanga, a vampire that drinks blood and eats toenail clippings. Oh, come on. Somehow that's nastier than blood.

I don't know why that is. Yeah. That's really gross. Really not good. I guess blood is like, you know, you get this like imagery of like, if it's good blood, it's like pure blood.

Like fresh, like human life. Totally. No one's like, ah, fresh clippings of the toe. It's like, oh God. It's like the worst bit of the human. I don't. The toenail. I would almost rather have someone suck the blood from my veins than chew the nails from my toes.

That's disgusting. That's the next twitter poll oh christ like just kill me that's bad legit saw off my head yeah and in some ways you know we're lucky with europe's kind of you know dracula looking vampires in japan the nuke kubi's head actually detaches from its body and flies around looking for prey. And then... Sucks their blood. But then, like, reattaches to the body or, like, spreads the body from the head. I think it reattaches.

It's like Oddjob and James Bond's, like, little frisbee hat. But that's kind of like... That kind of fits with, you know, the idea of vampires, European vampires, being able to turn themselves into bats and then float around, drink the blood, bite people. That's actually quite cool. Yeah, you've really made that connection. Linked in a small way.

Okay, so we've talked a little bit about some specific instances, but let's get down to the basics. How are vampires made? Just how are they made? We've all seen the movies. You know, you're on a hot date. Your Cadillac is parked up on an old make-out point overlooking the city. Love it.

Your date goes in for the kiss. You can't believe you're making out with each other this is crazy this is crazy Ashley I'm so glad we finally decided to do this baby I'm glad I could get you up here alone finally just you and me super beautiful yeah your cheeks are looking plush tonight kiss me just just i love your veins girl you always had the most what about my red face you excuse me you have rosy cheeks you are flush you are flush red i am now i just want to suck on those beautiful veins of yours veins ears veins i didn't say veins did i baby oh jesus vlad vlad oh ferratu it's a hundred year old man in a letterman jacket it's dracula i love the idea that he's like like captain of the team. He's like the best athlete in school. After the big game, you know,

they come out and it's like, alright, great game here. I want to see that kind of action every game. Well done, Chad. Well done, Cooper. And well done, Ferratu. That last play where you turned into a bat and escaped the defense line. Yes, they didn't see that one coming.

You brought that ball for a touchdown? That guy tried to stop you? You burst his head! Someone do a keg stand. Party at Transylvania House. Trans-house. Whoa, dude, you cannot come in. You don't have any girls. You know, this day, she's kissing your neck,

and then, bam! Just like a cat extends her little claws when they sit in your lap, this hot date of yours turns into a hot date with death. You've got fangs in your neck. Next thing you know, you're deflated like a balloon and your skin is going all pruney and they're drinking your blood. Not only are you a vampire, but you've got no blood. You'll probably never date again with all these trust issues.

And it turns out that's not the only way the vampires get made in the chinese vampire tradition if a cat or dog jumps over a dead body it becomes a vampire what it's really simple like a mythical cat or dog or just a regular just a regular cat or dog yeah just keep like you know buttons away from the dead bodies or if you love someone and they pass away just buy a shit ton of dogs yeah i guess and just be like go go scrappy yeah keep him because that is like no one wants to lose their loved one no so you could go full twilight and just like yeah like all right you become a vampire and then take me with you and then we'll just live forever yeah yeah i guess so

i mean like the only downside is like the human blood thing yeah like killing people and stuff but maybe like if that's your thing. I kind of do that anyway. It's, like, not that big a deal. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. This is my...

Why? This is my separate podcast to the murder cast. I thought you knew that, dude. It's top three iTunes, actually. I mean, what would you even talk about on that? I just mostly murder my guests. Murder? Life?

They don't realize it's happening somehow. I've actually sent you an e-vite for next week. And you're like, oh, neat, Murdercast. I love that show. Oh, Murdercast. Yeah, that'll really diversify my portfolio, the Murdercast. You might want to bring a cat or a dog with you. Jump.

I'm dying over here. Mittens, jump. The cat's just licking its paw. No, Mittens. And I'm not fooling here. People were so worried about a dead body becoming a vampire that they worked out all sorts of ways of preventing it from happening. Killing pets.

Family members would bury their dead with treasures to appease any evil spirits that might enter the body. In ancient Greece and Rome, they would actually place a gold coin in the mouth of a dead person they believed that this would pay for the boat in the afterlife to take them from the land of the living to the land of the dead that's cool and if you didn't pay you might be possessed by an evil spirit and become an undead vampire beast right so very very important the boat of the undead would take you to i guess like heaven or hell yeah i guess that's the idea yeah okay it's like quite a big like greek myth thing can you imagine if like i get worried about this stuff if like if i die tomorrow yeah and it's like oh like you know i was i was a nice person

like i think i lived a good life i tried to be respectful of others kind loving um you know did the right things made the right decisions and then i you know i die there's a nice service and then you know i see the white light i move up and i'm like oh here we go and i'm like gold coin i'm like what it's like the gold coin in your mouth it's like what are you talking about it's like well you know they don't do that anymore you didn't come with the gold coin paypal uh visa mastercard it's like they said i couldn't take it with me what are they idiots oh you're just gonna waltz into the afterlife. Oh, I'm just going to walk into heaven. You think everyone's free.

Oh, I paid with my sins. How do you think these gates are so pearly? You stupid bitch. Look at all closer. Gold coins, gold coins. How do you think Jesus pays for this shit? He's loaded. His dad's actually pretty rich. How do you think Jesus pays for this shit? He's loaded.

His dad's actually pretty rich. Whenever I was a kid, I read about, you know, you read those books at school, like about like ancient Egyptian mythology. And that was one of the funeral rites was that you needed to be prepared because when you were going to the the afterlife like ra or some shit oh no would rip out your heart and place it on a set of scales and like weigh it against this like mystic feather and if your heart like weighs too much because you've been too much of a bad person it's like you're going to hell that's what's happening because your heart weighs too much yep that's where the love stays. Don't measure your heart.

Measure your like fists or something. I don't know. I know. Yeah. I'm like, I'm so scared. Just like do it all to me. Like wrap me up like a mummy,

put gold coins in my ass, literally do all the prayers of every religion, bury me in a pyramid. I like the idea. Pray to anyone that I make it anywhere. The solicitors, whenever you die and like your family are all like standing around like weeping and they're like androids will um he has left you know the the house to the kids uh don't worry about that but actually everything else has

been um turned into gold and stuffed up his ass actually in the fine print i see he's raw too bad his heart was heavy as shit so he's not going anywhere i did some bad stuff kids Ra isn't gonna be pleased your family was like you never talked about Ra once once

you just harbored that in your mind your entire life imagine that you don't tell anyone and then like in your will you're're just like writing nonstop about Ra. What a weird thing to be obsessed with. Ra. None of the other gods. Just Ra.

Not even Egypt. I will miss you, my loving wife. Unfortunately, the wrath of Ra will not be kind on your loving husband. I do not. I don't know enough about rah i need to research rah i really want to do a podcast on rah this is your deathbed like any last requests someone get wikipedia bring up rah you know how it's like um you see those articles where it's like i used to work in an old folks home and right before they die they would never say they wish they worked harder they would never say they wish they

achieve more with their life they always said to me i wish i knew more about rah oh god i see him now the dog head is gone can you imagine the horror if you worked in one of those old people's homes as every single person dies? They start screaming. The fear though of like living your whole life as a devout Christian or Muslim or Buddhist and then right when you die, you see Ra and you're like,

I was so wrong. I couldn't have been more wrong. And there was no choice to know. Exactly. Oh, God. I'm going to read so much about Ra when this is over. Just hedge our bets. Yeah, legit.

Like, we should do... The Ra cast. One of our episodes has to be the Ra. We need to do, like like homeboy in the mummy that keeps all of the world religions like symbols on their necklace oh that's cool so whenever the mummy like comes to kill him he's like just like holds up all of them he's like which religion are you because i'm covered oh that's a really sweet idea yeah so there's a lot of stories where it's like the blood of a lamb or like a cross on your doorstep will wear off whatever spirit it is.

Just do it all the time. Just put the cross up all the time. Don't do it on the night of the unbaptized days or anything like that. Just put the cross up the whole time. I think that's called Pascal's wager. I think the idea is like in this great debate in the 21st century of is God real? Is God not? This philosopher Pascal was just like,

just believe in him because what if you're wrong? Yeah. And then what if you're right? I mean, it's fine. Doesn't matter. Probably have a sweet life. That's a good point.

But then also like, look at it in a different context. Vampires, for example. Yes. It's like, oh, don't wait for them attack. Always carry around a cross and a spike

and a like pack of garlic. And actually, you don't want to be a man leather trench coat while you're at it and actually i legally changed my name to blade blade rah just in case in case in case it's not a vampire and it's actually rah i figure there's the two most likely options. God is either Dracula or Ra. Oh, God. And getting back to how to prevent a body from becoming a vampire. In China, India, and parts of South America,

this kind of gets back to the goblin cast, actually. They would leave a little pile of rice or grain at the feet of a dead person. Okay. Because they believed if they did become a vampire, they would have to stop and count every grain of rice and i guess we'd get a bit confused and would never make it out of the coffin that is a bit more like the goblin with the colanders and not being able to count the holes yeah and in europe they simply slit the tendons of dead people's knees so they couldn't walk if they did rise from the dead oh that's horrible that's so

bad well, we will miss you. Anyway, Joe, get the hatchet. Get her knees. Oh, Jesus, she's still bleeding. She's still alive. So, you put all these simply ingenious defense mechanisms in place to minimize vampires, but how do you know whether

it's worked or not? Well, first of all, you walk around the graveyard and make sure that no one's crawled out of their grave. You can usually tell because there'll be a hole right in the soil that's what i found weird is that you know in some of the cases you mentioned before all the times when you would see the body or the the this person who was dead now up and walking every time they wanted to find them they would just go to their grave yeah as if they would always just go back to their grave yeah i think the idea is that they they do all their stalking at night and then weirdly they go back to their grave during the day because they can't be in the sunlight and what though

like rebury themselves uh go die like a hamster underground although wasn't it in like the og dracula movies they would sleep in a coffin but it wasn't under the ground yeah it'd be i mean it's just like a comfort thing like i'm dead so i sleep in a coffin, but it wasn't under the ground. Yeah, it'd be, I mean, it's just like a comfort thing. Like I'm dead, so I sleep in a coffin. Yeah. It was just kind of a badass thing to do. It showed you were a bad boy, if you will.

Well, because then it would be like if Dracula was out like wrecking people. It's like, oh God, like how are we going to stop him? I know where he sleeps. What? Yeah, he sleeps in his grave. Well, how are we going to fight?

It's Dracula. It says on a tombstone on the headstone. Just put a big rock on it. Just Dracula. Yeah. Just block it off. Just burn it how are we going to find... It's Dracula. It says on a tombstone on the headstone. Just put a big rock on it. Just Dracula, yeah. Just block it off. Just burn it. Maybe that's what they were doing with Jesus.

What? The rock in front of the tomb. That's what I'm saying, dude. Oh, like he did rise from the dead. He did rise... He's a freaking vampire, dude. That's what I'm saying. Is Jesus a vampire? These are the kind of...

Is Santa a goblin? Everyone stop listening. Is Ra the real one true God? These are the questions of is santa a goblin everyone stop listening is ra the real one true god these are the questions we answer on this paranormal life you know most people are too smart to ask those questions if there's a hole in the grave that means someone's escaped and you got a problem in your hands well in parts of europe they figured out that one way to draw out vampires was to send a virgin boy on a virgin horse into a graveyard and see what happens i guess those two things are like the most delicious thing to a vampire it's the gourmet was to send a virgin boy on a virgin horse into a graveyard and see what happens.

I guess those two things are like the most delicious thing to a vampire. It's the gourmet shit. That's like waving donuts in front of a cop or like waving a stone-baked pizza in front of an Italian guy. Or indeed, an energy drink in front of a Rory. A me. Now, I'm pretty into blood recently. Actually, virgin horses. Virgin boys, yeah. i thought it would have been

a virgin girl because that's like the vampire thing is that they like that they're a bit creepy and they like seduce women yeah you know they're like yeah like twilight yeah there always is like an overtly sexual thing isn't it's like it's like the virgin woman in the night gone yeah and the vampire goes in and goes like but he's got like a nice like fancy victorian clothes on yeah kind of our manny suit type deal why a virgin horse i don't know i guess because you got to send the boy in on something and you don't want like a slutty horse that's true oh i'm turning my stomach dude it's like, oh, I'm turning my stomach, dude. It's like, all right.

It's like, all right, send the boy in. Makes it two feet. The horse is humping a tree. He didn't even make it in the graveyard. Dracula comes out. I want to suck you. The horse is like, I'll suck your d***, I swear to God. I guess.

Why not? I mean, what would happen then? What's the, you said like, just to see what would happen. They like send it in. And if the vampire starts rearing his head, then the hicks with, you know, forks and knives. Got it. Come on.

I mean, we're both virgins. So it'd be like a fun experiment to like, just go to a graveyard and see what happens. Absolutely. I'm actually a horse. Eighth horse. Yeah, but you're super slutty though. You're not a virgin horse.

Didn't think of that, a virgin horse yeah so we know where they sleep we know how to prevent them but but let's say they do get out of the ground how are you taking one out what if you don't have the wesley snipes level kung fu abilities and crazy guns and wooden bullets well people in olden times didn't have that either they just relied on you know elbow grease i guess yeah they relied on good old-fashioned wooden sticks. You see that in the movies, but that is literally what people did. This is seen all across Eastern Europe. In Russia and the Baltic states, they used

ash for their wooden sticks. In Serbia, they used hawthorn that we saw before. Aspen was also popular because supposedly Jesus' cross was made of aspen. Cool. In olden times, sometimes you would see... What was Raz's cross made of? Steel. Adamantium. made of steel adamantium biceps adamantium protein or some shit uh do you think wooden stakes became like the number one

tool for killing vampires because of the practical effects of it or do you think it's because vampires have been around for so long that was the default weapon was a sharpened piece of wood? Yeah. And it's like that worked on day one. Yeah. Because a wooden stake would kill really anything, I would argue. Man or vampire. Yeah.

Which presumably I'm going to go ahead and assume during the quote unquote enlightened days, there were many men killed with wooden stakes. We've really come a long way, I would say. Yeah, it definitely seems very convenient it wasn't like some game of thrones shit where they had to mine dragon glass and kill them with that yeah it was just wood because if you said right now there's a vampire coming at you would you take a loaded handgun or a wooden stake i know this sounds dumb and blow

my brains out how about that pray to rah and blast my brains out even if there's no vampire i'm taking that gun and blow my brain side uh i would probably i would take the wooden stake because the gun i'm gonna go ahead and assume probably would kill the vampire yeah but i know this stake has an 100 kill rate so why would it not be continued to be used as the default weapon you know it's safe it's. It's the safe option. Yeah, that's true. So whether you can kill them in different ways or not, the wooden stake still has been proven as a way to kill them. So yeah, that's, it's the traditional method. Exactly. You know, grandma knows best. Grandma's secret recipe. Yeah. Grandma's little stakes. Grandma makes the best stakes. Between countries, they were also

differing opinions on where you should stab whilst the heart was most common of course the mouth was also popular in russia northern germany today we think of vampires as quite thin and pale but back in the day they were actually fat and bloated oh probably because they were better at their job they're getting away with it more often or something so they're full of blood so the idea was that you would stab fat vampire and kind of deflate them. Right. Which actually kind of makes more sense because the modern thing is just like you stab them. Like what happens? They're just like, oh no, my weakness.

But back then the idea was like these things are like ready to pop. Let's just... Yeah. Right in the chest. I guess so. Diplomatic answer. Yeah. People as recently as the 1800s were taking this really seriously. In parts of Eastern Europe, it was still common to drive steel

into the bodies and skulls of dead people just to be sure they wouldn't become vampires. That's ludicrous. When performing a funeral, they would sometimes put the body in a coffin and then shoot the coffin just to be sure. And I hear what you guys are thinking. Vampires are like old school myths. No one really takes that stuff seriously anymore.

Those stories are probably just folks with rabies or hep C or some shit. That stuff doesn't happen today. Well, that's where you're wrong. In 2002, the BBC reported that villagers in Malawi were leaving their farms in droves, terrified of being the victim of a vampire attack. Over several weeks, many women and children claimed to have been attacked and blood drawn from their bodies. Villagers began stoning and beating strangers that they didn't recognize for fear of them being vampires. At least one man had been killed by a vigilante group as they believed him to be working with vampires. The people believed that their president was using vampires to harvest people's blood to give to aid agencies. President Bakili Muzuli said that no government can go around sucking the blood of its own people.

That would be thuggery. Among many things, it would be thuggery. But I'm saying that's exactly what a vampire would say. Yeah, like an old-schooly language. But yeah, let me just recap. That's BBC News 2002. The president of Malawi is having to explain that he's not a vampire. Yeah. And here in London that he's not a vampire.

Yeah. And here in London, it's not that long ago, 1970, it was in the press, rumours spread that in Highgate Cemetery in North London, there was a vampire stock in the biz. We're dangerously close to that. I'm not obviously going to disclose our exact location because the man is obviously... Highgate Cemetery itself. Beep that, beep that. It's like clearly noise scape of a cemetery.

This attracted amateur vampire hunters from all over London. One man, Sean Manchester, wrote about this incident, claiming to have killed a nest of vampires. A nest? Like they're floating around like bees? Does this all mean that vampires are walking around amongst us and we're in immediate danger of having our chi drained throughout our eye sockets by goths. Absolutely it does. And I'm not just talking about murderers, although they do exist.

Peter Curtin and Richard Trenton Chase were both serial killers who were known to drink their victims' blood. And in the 1500s, Countess Elizabeth Bathory killed hundreds of girls and supposedly bathed in the blood of virgins. And if that's not a vampire, I have no idea what is. As an interesting side note, she and her family were actually,

they ruled over Transylvania. No. Which is kind of an interesting coink-a-dink. Wow. Yeah. But they didn't drink the blood, they just bathed in it. Well, we don't really know what she did. We just know that she killed up to 650 virgin girls.

Right. And supposedly... It's like me bathing in coors light a whole tub of it i actually like the sound of that it actually keeps me young i'm the redneck king i bathe in paps blue ribbon or there's no beer for anyone else that people are starving what they may drink my bath water and so it's easy to write those people off as insane and we do that's called renfield syndrome where you have a kind of insane clinical insanity desire to drink blood even if it's your own oh okay there's an actual medical diagnostic yes but what about functioning vampires that don't kill people turns out they exist too and now they've got the internet there are millennial vampires so for the love of science investigation i dove into

the world of vampires in 2017 the dark web of vampire shit if you will oh hell yes let's get weird with it so apparently this is what i've come across guys today they're are you like on forums underground absolutely it's like vampire forums.com i mean there's several vampire forums holy shit this is amazing yeah they inform me that there are two types of vampire today there's psi vampires and sanguinarians. Psy-vampires just feed off psychic energy. Okay. So they just like... Bitches, is what you're saying. They're pussies. You didn't know about them until 10 seconds ago.

But sanguinarian vampires, or sangs for short, literally do drink blood. To become a vampire today, you go through an awakening, a mental and physical experience that makes you realize you're a vampire. For example, one woman on a certain vampire forum i was perusing she found herself eating raw bloody hamburgers late one night from her refrigerator jesus and realized that she craved blood but wasn't bitten she just wanted

blood yeah okay so she just sounds like she might have that mental disorder rather than being having an awakening vampires that are public about their habits are said to be out of the coffin but very few do this and remain in the coffin for obvious reasons these vampires will meet online and then meet offline sometimes running blood bars where they have donors donate blood for a group to feed on so it's like just like a chill like after work activity let's head to the blood bar take a shot i was like can i have one bloody mary they just make you the one with tomato juice shit i just i meant blood i just want blood i was trying to be clever everyone else is drinking your blood from me i read one piece by a journalist for discover magazine and he investigated a vampire community in new orleans of about 35 people.

So that's not a small amount of people. That's too many people. That's an absurd amount of people. He said that they're all pretty normal guys and girls. No, they're not. They hold meetups and even do charity events like Feed the Homeless. Blood? And they also drink blood regularly. Oh, man.

You can talk about... Well, you mentioned like a couple... You're saying like, oh, it's as recent as 2002. You're not mentioning one of the most recent cases... Please. ...of someone being... Literally having to go on television and declare, I'm not a vampire.

Which was a little actor that you may have heard of called Nicolas Cage. Because we talked about this before. You texted me and you were like, oh, I'm doing vampires. I was mentioned the Nicolas Cage case, as we'll call it. Very true. Have you heard about it before? Do you know anything about it?

I know roughly about this. Okay. So basically. I believe this was actually a user submission as well from a Jughead Jones. He emailed in the other day about this. Yeah. So there's basically this picture was it popped up on an eBay listing. And it was this old, old, old picture.

I think it was around the Confederate times in America of this character who I swear to God is the spitting image of nicholas cage uh it's true i would tell you to uh google nicholas cage vampire just to see the image and you can see the striking resemblance i'm going to show it to kit now to just refresh his memory jesus christ he is a vampire i mean my god yes nicholas cage nicholas cage with a mustache in both of these photos he's wearing a bow tie he's like looks the exact same exact same that's incredible isn't it uh and like so rumors were spread rumors were spread you know people were talking about it online non-stop he even he was in a movie called i think a vampire's kiss which obviously didn't help at all uh and then it got to the point where he literally had to go on a talk show

and like tell the world clear the air he had to not only say that he was a vampire but he listed a bunch of reasons as to why he couldn't be a vampire which is a very vampire thing to do if i do say so myself he was wearing like the big cape and everything like really pale complexion that day yeah he's wearing like fake vampire teeth but only to hide his real vampire teeth so it's like okay they're fake yeah he's got like giant teeth um i mean it's insane even to this this this this this date we're seeing men having to defend the fact that they are not vampires it's true and that's kind of a rabbit hole as well of celebrity vampires i know kiana reeves is in that exactly as well yeah and it's this whole thing where it's like oh yeah well of course

you think they're vampires because they're famous people and they you everyone knows what they look like so if you see anyone that looks like them you're gonna say oh that's the same person but also you could argue you know a creature as charismatic and as you know sneaky as a vampire they've been alive that long yeah maybe i was a politician for a while yeah maybe i fought in the civil war now i want to be an actor these guys are around for hundreds of years they can do whatever they want so true vampire eyes they drink blood civilizations rise and fall you know they know how to they know how to work the stock market they're probably goddamn millionaires oh that's the first thing you went to they've seen nations rise and fall they're wolves of wall street i think they've seen countries build massive structures and they've seen civilizations crumble before them they know

the stock market they've got they know hundreds of thousands of dollars in bitcoin at least okay so i was trolling some of these vampire forums okay to see what i could come across i'll just uh show you a quick screen cap sort of thing of this is what a vampire forum looks like. I mean, people, it's exactly what you think it would look like. It says vampire forums on the top in black on a bloody redded scroll. Accurate, accurate. You know what? I'm not going to lie.

It looks pretty dope. I might sign up. They're kind of badass, actually. There's a few threads here. Can a vampire feed on a victim that is near death by jonathan that's not very vampire name so wait so these are people who are asking questions about vampires not necessarily vampires themselves the kind of people that are posting on here if they have enough interest are vampires right or like initiates okay now. Now they may be Psy vampires.

They might not be Sanguinarians that need blood. But, you know, they're asking some questions from the older folks in the community. Amidst these posts, we have a thread on VampireForums.com from SoldierBoyLover69 titled, Can I drink my own blood? I mean, these are the questions that a vampire has to deal with on a daily basis is there so i'd be quite interested in like a lot of these people seem like they are interested in becoming vampires yes or possibly trying to find out if they are vampires yeah and how they have to deal with that yeah is there on the internet a quiz that i could

take to test to find out if i am a vampire now that's fair so i because i eat a lot of meat i'm not proud of that because i'm trying to cut back but i eat a lot of meat and i really like it very rare very pink and i wonder sometimes if sometimes i could just skip the bun and the cooker and the animal and actually go straight to human. Straight to the vein. There's got to be like a... I will find one. On the topic of food, there was one vampire in one of these forums who was detailing his thoughts on human blood and food pairings. Right.

He said, for a good table wine, I recommend the O plus blood type. Wait, no. But personally, i prefer a cab they're vampires but personally i prefer the cabernet a negative or a nice pinot noir ab ab positive i find vegetarians and vegans to be too coppery for my taste along with those of higher levels of cadmium so i generally avoid smokers i'm also i'm also fond of a nice i'm also you're not gonna say this are you i just loves girls with a big booty not really blood related but i'm kind of into cricket lately

so off topic no friends i like uh oh negative blood um uh little virgin boys are great and Long Walks on the Beach Okay, I've got a quiz here I can't promise it's effectiveness Okay, Rory What's your favorite time of day? Morning, night or afternoon? Night It's not bright

So you like the sun? Yeah I know what I should say here but I want to be honest and I want to find out the truth It's not bright. So you like the sun? Yeah. I know what I should say here, but I want to be honest and I want to find out the truth. I do like the sun. Yeah, I think that's fair. Most people do. Question three.

Do you have long and hollow fangs? No. I have quite a protruding... Wow. What are those called? Jesus, two inches. How did I never notice that before? I've known you forever. That's insane. Yeah. I mean, it helps me when i'm feasting on things like this whoa yeah isn't that

is a life hog yeah yeah holy shit where'd you get him i call him pumba christ where keeps me going till the night my favorite time of day how many of those do you go through a week seven pumbas they're all called Pumba Pumba 1, Pumba 2 I tried to name one Timon but the little shit got away so I'm sticking with Pumba now it's quite a fat name I would say

yeah yeah they keep me I mean Pumba is spooked I think Pumba knows what's coming no no there's a whole room of Pumbaa spooked. I think Pumbaa knows what's coming. No, no There's a whole room of Pumbaa's in here actually Big squeals. Oh my god. That's your bathroom man. There's ever a dry week I'll have a couple of Pumbaa's to just keep me going

I'm gonna level with you dude. Humans are hard as shit to catch But Pumbaa's they're're in there I got them locked down they're easy to go for I tried to catch a guy last night it was not easy you know all you want to do is suck the blood all you want to do is suck the blood and you're going after them

you're stalking them in the night you make a little reach for them and they think you're trying to steal their stuff you're trying to steal their stuff. You're trying to steal their hard-earned money. I don't want to do that. I don't want that on my conscience. Ra would frown upon that. I'm just trying to drink a little blood like any blood brother out there.

I don't think that's what blood brother means. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bloods. Crips in the bloods. That's all we do. We're out there trying to drink a little bit of blood. These guys pepper spray me and I kind of come back here crying. Ciao on a plumba. It's a sad life. too you're crying now well yeah because i'm thinking about it

i don't want to be a vampire anymore it's hard as shit i take it back take it back vlad i'll say kinda for that one. Do you have black rings around your pupils? I don't know, do I? I mean, you have... Come a little closer, child. And examine them. Are the chains necessary, I would say.

What a plump ass you have. My child A virgin, didn't you say? And your horse outside Virgin also My bike I'm just deflating your tires Sweet air blood

Your face covered in bike oil um i don't know but i have i constantly have bags under my eyes that's true i think that counts okay i'm gonna make this a little less on the nose are you scared of the sight of blood no i don't think so. I bleed a lot. I have a very, I have a sensitive nose. I'm prone to, like an anime nerd, I'm like prone to nosebleeds. Like I get nosebleeds quite a lot. Just the drop of a hat. Yeah. So it's like nothing to me now.

I like, it just starts and I'm like, all right, here we go. Just let it drip into your mouth actually. Basically. This thing will clean itself. Next question. Do you have lots of friends yeah yeah i think i've got a lot of friends debatable i mean we're moving on okay sorry uh it's asking for your birthday so i'm gonna plug that in your birthday's uh i mean it's it's between between January

between January and November November. Yes. Help me out though like a little closer. Somewhere around maybe Halloween. You really should know this. I've known you since we were kids. New Year's. Close to

Easter. Yeah it was the best amount of your wedding. Summer holiday. We're blood brothers. You should know this. It's 19th of July, 1694. Oh my god. Hooray, Grando.

I'm sort of much confidence in the veracity of this testing because they just misspelt April. It's on purpose, though. If you missed that, you're not a vampire. You have that 1652 education system. It says, it's not even a question. Bats make you think of, and then multiple choice.

A, vampire. B. Bird of Night C. Hello Brother D. Is that a vampire bat E. Nature I mean so many of them are the same thing does it make you think

of vampire or hey brother this is f***ing amazing this is radio gold i guess bird of the night that's fair like yeah that's kind of what they are. Okay, more nonsense, multiple choice. If you see a vampire attacking someone, you are... A, you're the attacker. B, running away so you don't cause more trouble. C, help them. Or D, attack someone else i mean so many of these there doesn't need to be this many options because so many of them are the same thing it's obvious that this test site only

lets you have a set amount of options they had to fill the caps oh my god i guess I would run before there's more Harm That implies before I cause more harm Like I was involved in the causing Of this harm already Which just means there's three vampire answers This is written by a vampire So hard I assume

This question is supposed to be Vampire's coolest power Question mark But he spelt coolest callest with two L's A speed and movement B flying C hypnotizing but spelt

incorrectly and D I don't know but what is that what is the same to prove because three like you're just asking me what I think is a vampire's coolest power. Even if I'm not a vampire, I can still say which one is the coolest. He just wants compliments. What do you think is my coolest power?

What would you rate this quiz? A, bird of the night. B, hello brother. Hello. We need to hunt down the next quiz. We need to find out who made this and let him know we took his quiz jesus um hypnotizing is pretty sweet it's pretty dope can you make people do what you want yeah i i think so i think anyone can with the right attitude and fangs and boombas can you hear things from a distance

Or see into the future Or even run really fast I can run pretty fast That's true You did just do a Did a 10k Did a 10k Yeah

You got Blood sucking vampire What You're a blood sucking vampire And you can't resist getting blood from humans Good luck in your future never ending journey well unless you get stabbed with a stick and all the u's there and yours were you ours yeah i don't know if i could trust this guy what is my second opinion on that but it's good to know it's good to know where one person one obviously clearly profession fellow

professional paranormal investigator i think he was in our class at college so hopefully you guys at home were like listening along to that quiz and maybe you know answering some of the questions for yourself and you know hopefully you've realized a lot of things yeah i mean it's it's time to take a long hard look in the mirror and if you can't see your own reflection you've got a problem buddy you've got a problem day one so you know we've we've looked at my god it's been a long history it's been you know lots of anecdotes lots of um myths and rituals as well as some modern cases what do you think of the whole vampire sitch well it's tough okay because you got two types of creatures you're dealing with here on one side the name vampire is applied to these creatures the mythological ones that we talked about yes chinese flying head monsters ones that can turn themselves into bats

flying about rising from the dead sleeping in graves then coming out and drinking blood that in a way is a subsection of vampires and then you talk about the more recent ones the ones that they met up with where they have blood bank blood bars blood clubs and it's normal people claiming to be vampires that meet up and still drink human blood yeah that is real that happens that's a real thing so it's a difficult situation because i mean what is and what isn't a vampire yeah there are people out there drinking human blood and calling themselves vampires and i mean that's that's what a vampire is yeah you know just a human that drinks human blood in a sense and i guess to like come back to the title of this podcast, I guess the question that you're posing is we know what a vampire kind of is roughly, but is it paranormal?

Yes. So those guys hanging out at the blood bar, I don't know if that's paranormal. I don't think that's paranormal. It's a pretty low bar to entry that you just drink blood. Yeah. I mean, that's weird. Yeah. I don't know if I would go with paranormal.

Yeah. It's nothing that can't be achieved by humans. Yes. Just drinking a liquid. I did see, because I saw one interview, and they were talking to one of these American vampires in New Orleans. And he was going, you know, kind of just like blasé. He was just like, look, I don't fly.

I don't sleep in a coffin. I don't turn into a bat. I don't, like, I still have a reflection i don't turn into a bat i don't like i still have a reflection yeah i just drink blood all right and it's like okay well maybe don't call yourself a vampire then because there's a lot of baggage i guess yeah you know what i mean but maybe like it's a sense of pride it's like no i want to call myself a vampire because one it's cool as hell it you know it gets fellow vampires excited if they want to come meet me and in essence if you don't ask anyone on the street you're like what does a vampire do and they'd be like well vampire drinks human blood that's always the one thing maybe they'll

mention a couple of these other things yeah that's its thing you know it drinks human blood and plus a lot of the those specific things like the no reflection the turning into a bat the even the appearance and the like tall and gaunt and like thin and the cloak i mean most of that is bram stoker's dracula exactly it's popular culture feeding into this mythology and building up ideas around what they should be exactly but the core is basically someone who drinks blood. Drinks blood. And does that exist in the real world? It does, people.

It's pretty true. Have we come down maybe on a yes? I think we're coming down to that it isn't paranormal, what we're talking about, but... But does the vampire exist? I'm saying yes. I'm saying yes. There are humans out there drinking other humans' blood, calling themselves vampires. I'll be damned if I'm not doing it right

now. Oh, you got one of the Pumbas. Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah. They're good, aren't they? I've got a Pumba strapped to my head with two straws coming down either side. Wow, I did not think we were going to say vampires were real. That is not how I wanted to go into this podcast

or go out of this podcast. Or go of this life well guys if any of you have your own experiences or inputs on vampires or or if you have any input on our respect as paranormal investigators and have we just tarnished and thrown away all that we've worked for at paranormal college do write in and let us know at this paranormal life podcast at gmail.com as always keep an eye on the emails and looking forward to getting through some of those paranormal stories yeah thanks so much guys for writing in we've got a lot of great suggestions so far we're trying to get to all of them we got some big episodes in the works oh yeah big ones and i'm looking forward to dropping those but i don't know if it's like should we wait until like a big round like a 50 round number or like episode 30 or something to

make like a bigger deal of it because we've even joked about about some of them being um two-parters like there's some big ones we want to get to like roswell yeah roswell is like oh my god that's gonna be a beefy old investigation that was my dissertation dude so i'm actually an expert it's going to be it's going to be a tough one but we're looking forward to getting around to those yeah and i think if you guys genuinely if you guys have any suggestions for um different formats whether it is multi-part things whether it's other types of content do let us know because occasionally we get really good uh submissions and ideas and it's kind of we're so close to the podcast that we sometimes can't think outside of just getting

our episode out every week totally totally yeah and if you do have any good suggestions we mentioned email but also you should totally hit us up on twitter we're at this para life we're on there all the time tweeting funny stuff doing doing polls related to the podcast. You can jump in discussions there. And we're on Facebook as well. I think that's just This Paralife Facebook page. I think so.

It's pretty cool. Yeah, you guys should definitely check it out. I meant to mention to you, Kit. Yeah. I found out this weekend, did you know that there's like a doll museum, an ancient doll museum in London?

No. Where you can go and check out like creepy old ancient dolls drop the ball on that i was like we should totally do that we should follow up and like film some stuff and either drop it in one of the podcast segments or like post it on the facebook and twitter that will be tight i know so another good incentive to go follow facebook and twitter because we'll probably post in like sweet behind the scenes stuff going to these creepy ass places go to a graveyard with a virgin horse and kit the virgin boy.

Oh shit. And just see what happens. Let's get weird with it folks. Praise Raw! That's how we end the podcast. The podcast just ends with us going Praise Raw! And with 15 minutes of chanting Praise Raw And then just silence until the audio equipment goes dead

but no one ever posts the episode it doesn't even go live hashtag praise rah hashtag investigate i can't believe i'm a vampire man dude i don't know what are we gonna do i mean what do you know atlantean vampire yeah shit is there water put it on the cv guy all right we will see you guys next week for a brand new paranormal tale ciao
