Starting point is 00:00:00 If you have red eyes in a photograph, does that mean that you're a demon? Is the universe actually infinite, or is it coming to get us? Find out how long you have to live on today's episode of This Paranormal Life. Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host for today, Rory Powers, joined by my paranormal pal, Kit Greer. Oh, we're back again! We're back on a Tuesdayuesday discussing those paranormal things if you haven't listened to this podcast before basically every week me and kit investigate as professional paranormal investigators a brand new paranormal tale paranormal case paranormal
Starting point is 00:00:36 study and we come to a conclusion as to whether or not it is the truth that's right uh top of our class uh harvard paranormal school yeah it's really hard to find it's like uh xavier's school It is the truth. That's right. Top of our class, Harvard Paranormal School. Yeah. It's really hard to find. It's like Xavier's school for mutants. Everyone's in a wheelchair for some reason. It's just all Xavier's. We don't actually know who owns the school.
Starting point is 00:00:58 If you guys have never seen us in real life, we're bald in wheelchairs. We float a lot as well. We're big into floating so this week we have a really interesting one because it's one of the most current paranormal events taking place right now in our own world this is like this hasn't even hit the news this hasn't even happened yet it's so new yeah we're predicting. This is a fortune teller episode. So this story came to light a week or so ago when a guy on Twitter named Adam Ellis began tweeting that he thought his house was haunted. Okay. Now, Kit, you and I, we're no strangers to haunted houses.
Starting point is 00:01:39 My God. You know, I feel like I've never lived in a place that hasn't been haunted. Absolutely. By a ghost, sometimes mostly landlord. god you know i feel like i've never lived in a place that hasn't been haunted absolutely by a ghost sometimes mostly landlord you know where's the rent you know just haunting me non-stop or haunted by rats i've been a squatter most of my life and uh it's mostly hunted by vermin actually haunted by rats that is such a great death metal band paranormal investigator like you know asking you questions and are they ghost rats no no just regular rats okay not really paranormal do they float through the walls or do they sort of gnaw at them? Have you thought of hiring a ghost cat to solve your problem?
Starting point is 00:02:29 I'm not sure I'm the man you're looking for. Now, as always, with all of our cases, we're going in with respect and open minds. So who is this guy? So his name's Adam Ellis. Okay. I didn't actually know a lot about him before this popped up. I think he's an illustrator. I think he in comics call me out adam if i'm delivering any of this wrong all right um but basically as soon as it started happening he's been tweeting about
Starting point is 00:02:53 it keeping everyone posted this is an ongoing investigation as well which is why this is so cool yeah so let's begin it all starts on august 7th 2017 with one simple tweet 4 35 p.m adam says so my apartment is currently being haunted by the ghost of a dead child and he's trying to kill me strong start adam is a strong i'm hooked yeah it's the first. You may hit through the dragons. I'm ready to go. Adam continues. He started appearing in dreams, but I think he's crossed over into the real world now. The first time I saw him,
Starting point is 00:03:36 I was experiencing sleep paralysis and saw a child sitting in the green rocking chair at the foot of my bed. Wow. Adam says he had a huge misshapen head that was dented on one side. For a while he just stared at me but then he got out of the chair and started shambling towards the bed. Shambling? Shambling. Okay. Is that a word? I don't know. Scrambling? Yeah. Shambling? It is now. He shambled. He, she, we shamb shamble adam says he couldn't move because he was paralyzed
Starting point is 00:04:07 which is sleep paralysis yeah but right before he reached the bed he wakes up screaming oh shit screaming in fear i can imagine yeah like it's cold sweat dripping on your face i mean that's freaky well we haven't really talked about sleep paralysis a lot on this podcast before. We mentioned last week when we were discussing the Slender Man, how the people who experienced them woke up in the middle of the night and saw him. And whether that was maybe sleep paralysis taking place. That's right. But it's a creepy one.
Starting point is 00:04:37 We might have to look into that one a little bit more in the future. Yeah, it would be interesting to talk to someone on the pod who has suffered from it. Because you haven't suffered from it, am I right in saying? No. See, my whole life is just a nightmare waking yeah consciousness it's always i always feel like i'm paralyzed emotionally physically and uh my fear death is always creeping towards me at a pace and i know when it reaches me i'll just try and scream out and i just can't because of just the suffocating yeah in my heart. Mine is, you know, people talk about, you know, like, oh, like a party and, you know, people are like handing out like drugs to each other
Starting point is 00:05:11 and then someone like tries it, but then instantly regrets it because they're having a bad trip. But then it kind of ends because it's like- That's your life? I never stopped tripping. It's been one bad trip. Are you just trying to tell me
Starting point is 00:05:24 that you're really addicted to drugs my whole life is just one bad trip i'm honestly this is me and aa and they're just like have you tried not taking the drugs well shit in your mind they're just like a talking chair you're like that's not a bad idea miss rocker not a bad idea at all taking another pill no kid you say that to me again mrs corn cop i'll knock your teeth out uh so adam being the uh um artist that he is he actually drew a picture of the boy of David. That's handy. That's when it comes in handy, like being a trade.
Starting point is 00:06:09 It is great. And it's a spooky picture. It gives us an idea of how his head was dented and deformed. Yes. So I'm going to pass you the photo now, Kit, if you can examine that. Yep. This is a creepy, disgruntled kid. He's got giant bags under his eyes.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And more alarmingly, half of his head is missing yeah have you seen images these kind of heads do exist in real life have you ever seen those what yeah there's people who have been let's say in accidents or bombs and things like that oh and they've survived they've survived but it's blown off let's say 30 of their brain and that's like one of the amazing things about like uh recent neurological science and everything is they realize how much of the brain you really need to stay alive and even to be able to do basic day-to-day functions you can still function with like you know half a brain that's that is cool so it wasn't until a few nights later where adam
Starting point is 00:07:01 actually has another dream this one is even more terrifying. Okay. This is where we're going to get a lot of our lore and backstory. So in the dream, he was in this library and a girl comes up to him and says, you've seen dear David, haven't you? Oh. Adam replies, who? And she says, dear David, you saw him.
Starting point is 00:07:22 At that point, I would be terrified. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm not scared of anything either so that says something you know yeah i ain't scared of shit really they're not even like death or what well yeah sure death like a tiny bit or or like your parents just like uh you just realizing your parents never loved you kind of thing no you know it's just it's one of those things not really a spook is it it's more of just like a fact more just uh something that's happened that's going on you see the fear lies in the not knowing but i do know that a lot it's not ambiguous they tell me
Starting point is 00:07:58 every day you know they say cast a light on your fears. Well, I... My fears are pretty damn bright. Pretty lit. Fear is so bright I have to wear sunglasses. So the girl continues and she says, He's dead. He only appears at midnight. And you can ask him two questions if you say, Dear David, first. But but then she added as a final
Starting point is 00:08:28 note never try and ask him a third question or he'll kill you oh shit is it like the matrix if you die in the dream do you die in real life uh have you ever died in a dream no i don't think yeah i don't think i've killed in a dream. Every night. Everyone. You for sure. Whoa. Multiple times. I call them the good ones. The highlight reel.
Starting point is 00:08:57 And I wake up to the nightmare. I imagine every night you dream a different scenario. Like in one, you're like a North american conquistador killing native americans but every time i'm just got your face being killed and you're the person killing but yeah now that i think about i don't think i've died either maybe this is a thing yeah maybe that's just waking up whoa so it gets even weirder in another dream adam says that david comes back same situation he was in bed and david was sitting in the rocking chair near the window staring at him. Okay. So real, I'm just going to say this real quick advice.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Yeah. Get rid. If you have a rocking chair in your house, get rid of the rocking chair. Burn it. Break it. Why would you have that? In 2017, who needs a rocking chair? Tick the other ones off.
Starting point is 00:09:44 A doll. If you have a doll, old doll, burn it. Yeah, like what's the things you need to get rid of? Attic, creepy attic, bolt it up. Just, yeah, bolt it up. Why would you need an attic? Or just cut the roof off your house. Just have less things.
Starting point is 00:09:54 You don't need to store them in the attic. Actually, same goes for basements. Old books, burn them. I don't care if it's Harry P or the Bible. Well, no, hold on to the Bible because I think that's usually a good one. So you're going to infer demons. You're going to need that. Where you're going.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Where you're going. There's an old story that was told to me by my karate sensei. And it's this story of an old master of martial arts okay and he was so good that his students you know followed him around everywhere because he wanted to watch him every day so one day they're walking down the street and there's a donkey with its cart on the side of the road yeah as the the master's walking on the street the donkey kicks with his back leg and immediately the master rolls out of the way and dodges it impulsively without even thinking and all the students are like that was incredible how amazing is this guy
Starting point is 00:10:51 that he dodged it without even thinking so a week passes and they're walking down that same street again and the students see the donkey on the road and they're like this is gonna be amazing he's gonna he's gonna dodge the donkey kick again and we'll all get to see it before he gets to the donkey the master crosses over to the other side of the road and the students are like master why did you cross over the side of the road they're bummed out they don't get to see it he was like well last week i was almost kicked by the donkey right why like i could just avoid the whole situation by crossing it's being smart burn your chairs burn your roof quote sensei i think that's what he was getting at actually at the time
Starting point is 00:11:33 was that if you have a donkey you should kill it yeah lest paranormal beings possess him i mean it's a very odd i mean i don't want to rag on your sensei's story It's definitely an odd Don't you If you say one f***ing word about sensei He's a f***ing bitch I will end you I will end you Malvena Oh Christ
Starting point is 00:11:54 He's got a ninja death star to my pupils Just a thought Just a thought Yeah I know that's fair Anticipate Just avoid the whole thing Exactly Exactly
Starting point is 00:12:04 Take from that what you will. If that story makes me your master, then so be it. I don't think that makes you anyone's master. So to continue, in the dream, Adam asks his first question. Okay. He sees David at the end of his bed and he asks him, Dear David, how did you die? It's a good question it's a good
Starting point is 00:12:25 good start one david mumbles an accident in a store all right adam replies dear david what happened in the store david replies with a shelf was pushed on my head then adam, who pushed the shelf? Don't ask the third question. God damn it. You were told once. I know. That's when Adam says he realized. That's when a donkey kicked him in the goddamn teeth. That's when Adam realizes he's asked a third question. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:13:03 At that point, he wakes up absolutely terrified wow spooky stuff right we already we're having these dreams overlap with each other which is really creepy we've had david go back to this story and then the information from this one is now leaking into this dream yeah i mean you usually don't have like concurrent dreams like that you don't usually get to go back to the same situation no not at all yes it's definitely an interesting setup all right so this is great because one of the best parts about this story is that while adam is not i repeat not a fellow professional paranormal investigator yeah i'm sorry adam clear you haven't done the years of training and paid the online fee so you haven't done that wait what did you pay 3k 3k large wow uh to who the king paranormal king
Starting point is 00:13:47 yeah yeah king boo but who did you pay to i'm king boo actually shit i actually have your invoice 69 i have your invoice king boo here well this is one of the reasons why it's so great is because adam does do some of his own investigating okay so i don't have to do it which is great so what adam does is he starts looking up deaths in the city but he can't find anything about a kid named david dying in a store yeah he says he tried different names daniel dylan devon nothing so a few weeks go by without any more incidents and in this time adam moves into the flat upstairs which if anything you think would be a good move because i you know ghosts
Starting point is 00:14:33 and paranormal creatures usually are linked to one location having a particular significance to them in life yeah so it's not a big move but one floor up could make a lot of difference i mean i guess yeah you know if he didn't have his head caved in on that floor maybe he won't come bother you anymore but that's totally wrong because strange stuff starts happening big time david's like you're in my room i was coming to see you before but now you're on my turf, bitch. The next floor is just a store with a shelf pushed over and like a skeleton or like the chalk line of a boy with a dented head. This place seems nice. Unfurnished, but I'm sure I can make it homey. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:15:22 It was here. So more strange things start happening. And Adam tweets, For the past four nights, my cats have gathered at the front door at exactly midnight and just stare at it. Oh, Christ. Almost like something's on the other side.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Now, if you remember from the dream, the girl in the library said that David only appears at midnight. That's right. That's when he appears. And this is happening every single midnight adam's cats go to the front door and just stare at it i think i actually have a picture of this that's the that's the first one that he tweeted uh he actually he posted this photo and subsequently has posted videos of it becoming midnight and the cats being at the door this is cool so this is some actual proof yeah actual evidence of it going down it happening no shit
Starting point is 00:16:12 which i do i'm you know i really respect that adam that you've gone as far as you know you're not trying to put up information that could have lots of ifs and buts about it you're trying to get it to us as plain and simple as possible. Video is a great example of that. So I do appreciate that. He then goes on to tweet, Last night, I got a weird feeling and looked out the peephole and I'm dead certain I saw movement on the other side. But when I opened the door and turned on the hall light,
Starting point is 00:16:39 nothing was there. Later, he tweeted, Update. For the sixth night in a row, my cat has walked over to the door promptly at midnight and just stared at it. Later, he tweeted, Weird. This is all not good. It's getting weirder. Okay, so Adam, not wanting to open the door at midnight anymore, decides he's going to take a photo through the peephole.
Starting point is 00:17:01 In the first photo, right where the banister meets the shelves, it looks like there's something hiding on the stairs you could say yes there is a sort of shadowy blob yeah through the peephole and here is a photo of the original shot through the peephole and one taken later for comparison okay cool we can see that the blob is not a shadow cast by the shelves it's actually gone altogether it's actually the curved head of a small child i mean i can see his pupils i can see the hair and his chinny chin chin he did not let him in i mean it's it looks pretty legit your eyes are bleeding are you okay sir don't ask me a third question you son of a bitch i think he's done some great investigative work here hashtag in uh
Starting point is 00:18:00 hashtag investigative work here in trying to cut the fat cut all the um the ifs and buts as you say right out of this and just what is exactly happening so over the following days he does some experimenting using one of the sleep recorder apps that picks up any sounds during the night and yeah there's a couple of noises but i'm always a little skeptical about that stuff like having used it the past in my life just you know noises happen at nights yeah he's got two cats as well you know so if there's any like footsteps or bumps or like i'm gonna kill you in your sleep it's obviously the cats so forward on to monday august 14th 2017 adam continues to tweet he says i bought a polaroid
Starting point is 00:18:49 i bought a polaroid camera this weekend because they're fun and dorky and i decided to take a few photos around my apartment big mistake dude polaroids are stupid and fun and inherently sort of creepy i didn't expect to find anything and for the most part i didn't i took i took a couple of my living room and bedroom they're pretty unremarkable okay then i went into the hallway and snapped a photo the polaroid developed completely black so it's worth noting and this is why i brought it with me here today he's using the exact same polaroid camera that I have. Yeah, this is one of these modern Instax cameras.
Starting point is 00:19:29 We can vouch for its reliability. Yeah, that's right. I've never really had a bad photo. I wanted to check, actually, because I think I have film in mine. But it just says at the photo count S. For spooky. Yeah, for spooky. Hold on a sec. Let me me I'll just try it there we go completely black oh shit okay for the record yes it is totally black but
Starting point is 00:20:01 that's because it's the little one that you take first before the photos come out Okay now we're on 10 I'm gonna I want to take a picture with the Polaroid. We need to take a photo of that for Twitter Yeah, we should actually look. Um, which way is easiest? How about you come over here over here okay right and we'll take a photo with the polaroid okay um and we will put it up on twitter we'll post the picture on twitter so people can like come check it out voucher it's reliability you want to check out that that uh picture it's on twitter at this para life we'll do the same on facebook as well don't worry guys we just do one of those old like victorian photos where they don't smile and they just stare at the camera okay okay that sounds like a good idea
Starting point is 00:20:48 all right sweet photos being developed uh already as you can see it comes out white not black so for a photo to develop and then be completely black that's a little weird because it's not good it's not good it's really not good yeah fujifilm have been in this industry for a photo to develop and then be completely black, that's a little weird because it's not good. It's really not good. Yeah. Fujifilm have been in this industry for a long time. They know how to make photos.
Starting point is 00:21:12 More on that photo as it develops. Oh, thank you. Thank you. That would have been smoother if I didn't pick up the wrong sheet that I was reading from. So that's kind of shit. Three minutes later. Again, fair play to you adam
Starting point is 00:21:27 you're being very thorough here yes there's obviously going to be doubt when you're showing these two pictures what he does is he actually shows a video of himself taking the photo in the hall and it developing completely black really yes i'm gonna bring it up and i'm gonna show it to you nice dude this is him taking a photo of the creepy hallway, okay? Lot of locks. This is a lot of locks. I don't blame them, I guess. It gets lit. There's a flash that goes off as well.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Additional lighting. It's getting in the house quick. Just locks it up. And as you can see, the first one has already developed. Looks good. Checks out. Let's see what this one does. And again, no cuts.
Starting point is 00:22:36 You know, he's being an honest man here. He's just letting it all go. It's going to take a minute. We don't have a minute, Adam. But it is developing. Already developing black. No detail in the photos at all. That's pretty weird.
Starting point is 00:22:51 It is weird, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, again, look at ours. It's been a number of minutes and it's already developing fully. That's true. If we had the luxury of every time all of our cases having this same level of evidence. Yeah, it's amazing. We probably wouldn't have said vampires are real.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Or the Loch Ness Monster or any of this shit. Yeah, this is 21st century paranormal investigation, folks. Yeah, I'm glad that you guys can be a part of it alongside of us. So since then, there's a number of different things have happened. Adam has continued to see David in a number of dreams. He's tried to use sage. Triple homicide. Adam has continued to see David in a number of dreams. He's tried to use sage.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Triple homicide. He's used sage to cleanse the apartment, which probably drives off bad energy. Very good idea. Awful spirits. He's woken up with a feeling that the apartment is swaying and shaking, almost like an earthquake. And another of other strange occurrences. But as I said, this is very much an ongoing case right the last thing he's tweeted is that uh this all feels like the horrible feeling you get before a storm comes and then within 24 hours he had a warning that there was going to be a thunderstorm
Starting point is 00:23:58 in his local area wow and that was as of right now up to date the last thing that he tweeted out so i assume he's he's obviously dead now yeah yeah no it's good to it's good to be current damn this is a weird this is like out of our normal territory this is an ongoing case yeah up to date we could end up doing a follow-up hey that's a really good idea like see what see where this is at seeing how it goes future episode yeah i mean like right off the bat what do you think about houses being haunted kit have you ever experienced any domestic hauntings in your life uh i did actually have a run-in um yeah in my own home really uh-huh would you care to elaborate sure it's quite straightforward okay um i came in home one night.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Why are you talking like this? I came in home one night and everything was fine. I slept like a human. They're telling me not to say shit, Rory. He's whispering in my ear. Don't tell him anything. So basically, i grew up in quite quite a large house like across three stories quite tall it's a borderline mansion
Starting point is 00:25:13 it's pretty scary it's a big it's over 100 years old right but i was there one day and i had been upstairs i've been at the top floor in kind of the attic space. Right. And I had, I think I was like turning off all the lights or something. Bad move to start. Never turn off the lights. And I was just like knocking everything off and like, you know, and close all the windows and everything. And then I was kind of like doing the rounds coming downstairs then to like do the same before heading to bed that night.
Starting point is 00:25:42 And then whenever I was on the first floor i heard upstairs and it was like that's weird i was just upstairs and then it's like again it's as if like the wind is somehow like you know it's like the wind like closes the door yeah and it goes again i'm like i closed every window there everything's there's no one there right and then i hear and i'm going i'm starting to get freaked out at this point because i'm like there's no mechanism by which this can be going there's no no window open no nothing up there and then i'm like it's just in my head i've set like a little I'm like quite just staying like perfectly still and perfectly quiet
Starting point is 00:26:26 I was about to hit off the light on the landing and I'm just in my head I set like a little thing I'm like if it happens again that's
Starting point is 00:26:35 not okay and then I just hear I'm gonna kill myself just like gun in the mouth I loaded the revolver waiting for it to go and I just hear
Starting point is 00:26:44 do-dum do-dum do-dum do-dum do-dum spray prints do-dum do-dum do-dum like gun in the mouth waiting for it to go. And I just hear... Spray. Spray. And I just hear constant... As this door just opens and closes constantly. That's weird and creepy. I get the hell out of Dodge. I run down the stairs and into my room.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And I hide. And that's more or less it. You didn't even go see what it was? No. God damn. Hell no, I'm not going to see it. You have an obligation as a professional powerhunter. I was a child.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And that's why I dedicated my life to this field. Damn it. That's a good origin story, at least. But, I mean, I've had a couple run-ins in my life. But that was, that's a good origin story at least but i mean like i've had a couple run into my life but that was like one of the first actually and it's just as you mentioned a haunted house situation and i didn't really work out what it was i kind of the next day i took a took a look around and there was no reason as to why that should happen that i could see spooky it was very spooky and it's frustrating when you don't actually get an explanation as
Starting point is 00:27:43 to what it was as i've mentioned many times on this podcast, my experience with the Dublin Gorilla Man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's not haunting though, is it? No, not in a sense. But it was a paranormal event. Was it? And just seeing it on that day. I mean, we can always talk about it later.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Yeah, I guess we'll circle back. You know, if we ever have a quiet day. If I ever give a shit but i don't count on it powers i feel like most hauntings are in houses you know there's not too many like free roman ghosts there are some there's like cemetery ghosts and like forest ghosts i know what you mean yeah but uh yeah they usually seem to stick around houses. But is that because people spend a lot of time in houses? Well, that's true.
Starting point is 00:28:30 So if there's any weird occurrences, the likelihood is that if you spend 60% of your day in your house, that's where you're going to have a weird occurrence. But I wonder if you were like a coast guard and you spent all your day on the beach, would there be a haunted beach? Beach ghosts. Because a lot of of people have died at sea but i guess that's a whole other thing fair play but we'll get to the beach ghost the beach ghost of dudin bro surfer ghosts dudin bro um boo
Starting point is 00:29:03 boo dude burn it yo i gotta haunt you bro that's so funny like bro ghosts i love it so much oh my god i mean that's like uh that's an adult swim cartoon if you've seen one so good like all the bros that like drowned doing keg stands and now just flirt about like doing a handstand on the kegs that's amazing and they're so immature they've learned nothing through death they're still in their like togas from their toga party yeah oh that's amazing um but this one's kind of interesting because that looks like i don't know but that looks like a relatively new apartment building. It's like the story I was saying about my house.
Starting point is 00:30:10 That's like a textbook one because that building's over 100 years old, whatever. And so many murders have happened in there. Holy shit. By my hand? By your own hand. Why did I phrase that like I'm a medieval lord? By my own hand. I'm secretly 305.
Starting point is 00:30:31 You throw dinner parties, but you just assume dinner parties are for killing guests? You've never had a normal dinner party? I read wedding every dinner I've ever been to. Cup of tea, Rory. It's like, no. Everyone who goes to that house, they're poisoned. I mean, tea. Do you like milk and sugar with your poison tea?
Starting point is 00:30:54 Poison tea? Just tea? Yeah, whenever, like, whenever my family moved into that house. Right. My parents moved in before I was born. The, you know, it was that kind of like cliche of where the owner is like, yeah, some weird stuff happens in this house.
Starting point is 00:31:12 No. Yeah. Like that stuff happens. People are like, yeah, like I've, not in like a bad way, but they're like, yeah, I mean, I've seen stuff that I couldn't really explain. What did they say? Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Just like little things. Just like, yeah. Little boy, half a head. Just a little boy. oh i don't know just like little things just like yeah little boy half a head just a little boy like don't bother him just don't go in like that side of the house yeah for uh you know three days out of the week but um but that's like an old house but right this is kind of interesting like newer uh buildings but i guess i mean people die all the time i guess someone could die like last year and then your house could be haunted this year yes so yeah i know what you mean like this this guy adam he also i mean he said he looked up about a possible explanation as to what the origins of this spirit could be yeah um and he didn't find anything around the local area so i was just like well you know what i'll do a little bit of research i'll give the guy a hand as well so i just weirdly at work googled child dead store collapse um
Starting point is 00:32:12 and i don't know why i did that because it just made me so sad because obviously i got like a hundred hits yeah but it was just all over the world it was like top shop child dead wow i was like brilliant now i feel bad now. Oh my God. And I didn't solve anything. Yeah. And your work, have your search history. I'm on a list now. I was thinking that earlier.
Starting point is 00:32:35 This is like a little sidebar, but I was like, I was doing that as well. I was like, you know, we're recording episodes of the podcast tonight. And I was typing up some of like some last minute notes and research. Right. And it was like, I know to you listeners at home, this is, this is this is fun and games you know so it's like a fun little tuesday podcast listen to you just you know that doesn't change the fact you just sit down and you just press play just yeah oh yeah and it just magically appears like we didn't put decades of research into it no but it doesn't change the fact that whenever my co-workers look over my shoulder, they see dozens of Word documents on my desktop. Like, Rasputin research.
Starting point is 00:33:10 You know, black-eyed kids. Vampires. All of these research documents. Those are real. Yeah, I know what you mean. Through doing this podcast, our brains have been filled with utterly useless knowledge. Yeah. But also also it's
Starting point is 00:33:26 all real so to a certain degree it's the most valuable knowledge of all that's right and when the vampire beast of blade and borah comes for you and your family uh who you gonna call you could have got the police yeah the the the special forces the army yeah are you gonna go oh uh uh hi mr beast oh i don't know what you are how to deal with you but i do know uh pythagoras's The special forces? The army? Yeah. You're going to go, oh, hi, Mr. Beast. Oh, I don't know what you are or how to deal with you, but I do know Pythagoras' theorem. I know some algebra. Oh, I have my, don't hurt me.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Here's my degree. Oh, get out of here. You think a degree is going to help when he shreds your body? He rips your mother's head off of her body. You think CPR? You think the recovery position is going to work? your when he rips your mother's head off of her body you think cpr do you think that you think the the recovery position is gonna work too late when he slits your father's throat do you think four years of medical practice and an emergency health repair kit is gonna help you no whenever he breaks where he nests will. Knowing his eating habits.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And having the knowledge that no matter what you do in life, he gonna get ya. That's the real knowledge. Whenever the Sasquatch breaks both your legs in the woods. You think the AA is gonna come and fix your legs. Too late. Too late, buddy. Too late. All you need to know is he's real i rest my case
Starting point is 00:34:49 um getting back to the story at hand yeah yeah there's obviously a lot of loose ends here that i want to see tied together what i i love is this idea of the dream world and the real world blending that's cool i totally agree and in terms of that it's quite a romantic story it's not just i saw something creepy in my apartment we got a bit of history we got this character we got this backstory yeah and having it come together in so many ways uh i'm really interested to see how this this pans out totally this could actually be possibly depending on how this develops our first two-part episode god damn there could be enough in it as the case continues um but if you want to do your own investigations as i said his name is adam ellis on twitter at moby i think underscore
Starting point is 00:35:43 dickhead. A reliable source. I think that about wraps it up. It's difficult to come to a conclusion with an open case. Yeah. I'm happy with that. Let's come back for another ride. Do you want to do that? Leave it open-ended?
Starting point is 00:35:57 I'm happy to do that as well. Yeah, let's do it. First time ever. Okay, okay. I'm happy to do that. The listeners are furious. What? Twitter blows up overnight.
Starting point is 00:36:10 You fraud! Because we also never go back to it. Well, I guess until we continue back, thank you very much for joining us for this episode of This Paranormal Life. Oh boy. If you want to follow us on Twitter, and I insist that you do to check out our polaroids and research that is at this para life and we are also on facebook which i
Starting point is 00:36:32 believe is just under this paranormal life i think so uh where we will keep up with posts keep you guys up to date um it's an interesting one it's a creepy one i i wouldn't mind david you know seeping into my own dreams you think tonight oh god i want to be a part of this one of the really funny things that is happening when you go through this is just seeing the responses to like some of the things that he's tweeted because he'll tweet a picture where it's just like oh okay leaving my haunted apartment for the weekend and like a silly selfie and then someone like will reply being like wait you guys see this and punch into just the most just noise like on it and it's like it's david a csi-esque like cgi scene yeah i think there's i think there's a uh like an actual term
Starting point is 00:37:20 for someone who sees faces within inanimate objects. That's a lot of what's going on right here. Actually, you should go over and look at these because these are actually really funny. Okay. So here's one in the apartment. Yeah, it's just a normal selfie. Normal one.
Starting point is 00:37:36 But as you can see in the reflection, I mean, look at this. Yeah. Like, is that the eyes and mean there's a lot of it is but then the best part is then in the comments people said going through and like circling the designs like they've just drawn the creepy pictures, like, in the designs. Oh, someone's commented. Apparently it's called pareidolia.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Pareidolia. I'm probably pronouncing that wrong. There's something kind of overly simplistic, I think, sometimes about the idea of, like, there are people who literally want David to be there with the exact dent in his head with the exact like look in his eyes in the reflection to win it where it's like we're talking about extreme paranormal shit here it works in mysterious ways and it doesn't just show up wrapped in a little box with a nice neat bow on top it doesn't sometimes you're looking for david and you get the smoke monster from lost you get something bizarre completely different you're looking for David and you get the smoke monster from Lost. You get something bizarre. You get something completely different.
Starting point is 00:38:48 You're like, oh, I think David was in my apartment. No, Bigfoot. Yeah. He was down there. Totally. But yeah, it's a complex story. It's a complex one. And I think we're going to be following that as it develops.
Starting point is 00:38:59 That's right. Much like a Polaroid. Let's hope it doesn't develop into total blackness. Dude. Boo, dude. Boo, dude. Boo, dude. The pro-ghost. So, I guess until that next episode, thank you for joining us for this
Starting point is 00:39:15 episode of This Paranormal Life. We will see you again next week. Bye-bye.
