This Paranormal Life - #026 Dear David Pt. 2: The Haunting gets Worse

Episode Date: September 12, 2017

Just when we thought it was all over... DAVID RETURNS. We dive right back into the live twitter haunting of Adam Ellis where things have definitely escalated. Bruises from dreams, objects around the house moving by themselves... there's only 2 investigators who can stop this madness. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Last time on Dear David Part 1. You say one f***ing word about Sensei. He's a f***ing bitch. I will end you. This could actually be, possibly depending on how this develops, our first two-part episode. Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host for today, Rory Powers, joined by my buddy and professional paranormal investigator, Kit Greer. Howdy. How you doing, Kit? I'm doing great, Rory. How you doing? I'm doing fantastic because this is our first ever

two-part holy damn two-part episode look at me now dad to be honest with you i didn't even know if we were going to come back yeah because there was a very high chance that nothing else was going to happen in this dear david case absolutely um so if you haven't listened to this podcast before we every week take a new paranormal case and as professional paranormal investigators we investigate it we dig about with our top to bottoms we dig up some graves take some jewelry if that's what it takes to solve these crimes that's right take anything they have hell if we meet a few kind of rare endangered animals along the way we'll cut off their horns sell them on the black market sure sure profit and i would also recommend if you

haven't listened to dear david part one it would be good to go back and listen to part one accurate even with our roundup because we're going to be moving forward from where we left off that's right okay so last time we were investigating this case adam had gone through a lot of creepy stuff strange dreams where a kid with a dented head watches him sleep from a green chair. That's right. Polaroids that didn't develop. Cats meowing. Strange kind of apparition outside his door. Yes.

On camera. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of creepy stuff. And when we last left the case, there was talk of a thunderstorm that was headed his way. That's right. So we're going to pick up right where we left off. Because this little ghost boy doesn't miss a beat because i haven't been following it so you're a couple steps ahead of me here yeah i'm on the same page as the audience right now i was getting uh tweets and dms about people asking me if i was keeping up with the events because uh things

really started kicking off things uh got pretty f***ing real. Adam's dead. Apartment building burned to the ground. All our listeners dead for what it matters. Turned out David was a little burglar and shot Adam. Little David was a little murderer. So let's pick up right where we left off. This is August 21st.

Last month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is how close we are to this paranormal beast. All right, hit me. Adam tweeted, I fell asleep pretty early. I was incredibly tired for some reason. I had a dream that night where David was dragging me by the arm

through an old abandoned warehouse. I'm not sure why I didn't fight back in the dream or how he was strong enough to pull me. But I guess that's dream logic for you. It was a creepy dream, but I didn't think much of it when I woke up. I took a shower and then I noticed something. I woke up with a huge bruise on my arm. Oh, oh. I woke up with a huge bruise on my arm. Oh. Oh.

So this is the first time in the case we're seeing something from the dream cross over into reality. Okay, so he's saying that whenever he was dragged through the dream warehouse, he got snagged on a dream box and it dream bruised him. Dream bruises. Yeah, it somehow crossed over into reality.

Now Adam decides to take the logical approach to this, which I respect, obviously. He says... I'm not a fan of that approach, but damn, I respect it. Damn, I respect it. He says, maybe I injured myself the day before and my arm was hurting in the night, which manifested itself as something in the dream. Yeah. Which does make sense.

Yeah. manifested itself as something in the dream yeah which does make sense yeah it's it's like if you fall asleep on public transport and then you dream that you're in a shaky room or or when you wake your alarm wakes you up in the morning and in your dream you start there's a crow calling it's a crow going the time sponsored by accuracyura. That makes sense. That checks out to me. If his arm's hurting, his brain is going to signal that to the rest of his body. And kudos. This is not the first time Adam is, he's, you know, checking himself before he reckon himself.

And he's doing the legwork for us here. He's finding the most logical conclusion. Yes. Adam doing the legwork for a lot of this is one of the reasons why i love investigating oh yeah uh so anyway there could be a totally logical explanation for it so he brushes it off and goes out to grab a coffee which he says he does every weekend sure and you know what i want to i want to hone in on this point it's important to keep your routine when you're being hunted, okay? Because I believe ghosts are like terrorists. And as soon as they start affecting your day-to-day, the ghosts win.

They've won. They've won. I see. And I don't negotiate with ghosts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. If the ghosts say they have my family by gunpoint, I say... I'm going for coffee.

I'm going for coffee. i'm going for a latte let's see how this one pans i'll be back in 90 minutes blow their freaking heads off see if i care ghost gun of yours your family are like rory this is a real gun and there's no ghost this is a terrorist this man just took your wallet you should know this is not a ghost so he's walking to the coffee place. And on the walk there, you know, he's walking down the street. I'll throw some sounds in here. Like walking down the street.

Music. Good time. On the walk, all right, he passes by a food cart repair depot. Now, he's lived in this neighborhood for allegedly four years and claims that that place has always been jam-packed in the past. Okay. But now, weirdly, it's completely abandoned. Okay.

Hmm. Interesting. Adam says, the whole warehouse was totally gutted and empty. Well, almost empty. As he walked into the warehouse to look around. Terrible idea, by the way. Oh, I'm scared of ghosts.

Let's go to the ghost nest. Yeah, I mean, this is odd. I mean, that's, I mean, for one, trespassing. For two, dumb. Yeah. I mean, you could just find a crackhead in there. Yeah. Way scarier than a ghost.

Absolutely right. I mean, they're real. Yeah. For a start. Casper won't shank you. So I just decided to go into the old warehouse where a side note that family was brutally murdered 15 years ago this day he thinks it's a good idea to check it out i guess you know what you've had that dream about

a warehouse you see this warehouse yeah he's going on his intuition here he walks in and the whole warehouse is empty except for one thing in the middle of the warehouse is a single green chair now if you remember david first appeared in the green chair in his apartment yeah i know what you're thinking kit it's not real it ain't real well i got a photo to prove it you got a photo here's the warehouse all right there's the green chair which you can't really see because the photo is very dark. Okay, it's a chair. Okay, I don't see any little boys here just yet, but I do see a chair. Did I ever say there was a little boy?

Are you putting words in my mouth right now? I feel manipulated because you're asking me if I see David, but then you're also saying... So you don't see David? Yeah, no, I don't see David. I guess some people don't have the gift that's fine too i guess uh yeah this is interesting okay cool so we're starting to connect some dots here this is unusual but i mean but let's also play devil's advocate the devil's there burn it burn Adam. I'm the devil. There's chairs everywhere. Well, yeah, I guess. Yeah.

Not green ones, though, in dream warehouses. I guess. Again, there are chairs everywhere. There are chairs everywhere. It's one of these things where it's like, as soon as you're looking, it's like snooping. You know when you snoop on someone's phone? I mean, I don't. It's just yours, but not like anyone else's.

No one, like nobody else's, but yours. else's but how did you guess my password six six six um yeah they always say when you're snooping like don't snoop because you'll always find what you're looking for right that's it which i think means if you snoop you'll search until you find what you were afraid to find. Right. Well, there's definitely that. There's also that kind of... Like I was searching for yours and I just...

What were you looking for? Any type of porn at all. Right. And it was just, you have folders for it. Yeah, I did. It was really, really weird. No, actually, as you'll see, I can screenshot this for the listeners at home. I've actually found a way of jailbroken my phone so that i've taken away all the native apps

and there's actually just porn even even the natives app you have like stocks only list porn companies so it's like your porn is way up i have an extremely diverse portfolio diverse in terms of ethnicities of porn it's really something to behold do you know where the uh recession didn't hit browsers.com pornhub.com all right that's true porn is recession proof absolutely i guess because even how sad if anything it thrives on recession absolutely it does because imagine like i'm so bummed out. I lost all my investment today. I think all the porn stars are like broken homeless now because they're not really making any cash.

Right. But I think the sites are still going. Do you think there's paranormal porn? Absolutely there is. Ghost porn, Bigfoot on Goatman porn. I think this is something I'm willing to set a boundary that I'm not willing to investigate. So I'm going to have to ask the nation at home okay so we're gonna flash forward now

right to august 26th okay a couple days couple days a few more strange things happen around the apartment but one in particular blows this case wide open like a ghastly explosion of ectoplasm wide open like a ghastly explosion of ectoplasm wow so one of the strange occurrences that we talked about last episode was that in a dream adam was told that david appears at midnight right and every midnight adam's cats would go to his front door and start meowing at nothing well for some reason it's been getting earlier and earlier. So Adam wrote, I was almost used to the routine. So when they started to cry at the door closer to 10 p.m., I was confused. They began a new routine. Hover around the door at 10 p.m., cry for about 15 minutes,

then wander off as if nothing's wrong. Is he feeding the cats? Yeah, I mean, this definitely sounds like not altogether unusual cat behavior. No. I have like cats at the back yard. Unfortunately, it sounds like I'm crazy because they're never here when you're here. But I was trying to get some work done this morning. And are they here now with you, Kit?

Do you see the cats now? I mean, you're one of them for sure. But there's another one, a friend. You drink milk from a bowl one time and you're labeled a cat. You shit in a box of sand one time legally change your name to mr whiskers and who everyone thinks you're a cat you eat cat food every single day and suddenly you're a cat but yeah i was trying to get some work done today or i should say for the last like goddamn couple weeks right and this little shit out there there are two cats in my back garden

two black cats and they fight 24 hours a day there was one day they fought for 24 hours i heard them in the morning there's no way they fight for 24 straight hours i went to work came back they were fighting i went to bed that night they were fighting how do you intervene with that do you raise your own cat like a bloodthirsty cat and set set him out with or you raise a little gandy cat like a preaching non-violence i'm much more into because i don't like cats getting hurt so i think a little peace cat yeah you get little tiny spectacles on them and like a little kind of loincloth type thing you send them out there that would be great little pen is mightier than the sword. To bring the peace. Yeah, yeah. Kill him instantly, slit his throat.

It's like recently there's been the Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather fight. Yeah. And, you know, and everyone was talking about it's like, can Conor McGregor go 10 rounds? I mean, that's a lot of rounds. People are like, that's a long time. That's like a lot of fighting. These cats are going 1,000 rounds out there. They've been fighting since last Tuesday.

They're not getting anything out of that fight. No. Like, they think they're fighting over territory. They're fighting over the weeds in my back garden. There's nothing out there.

To be fair, that's their Dublin. One of them's just like, I'm the king of the weeds. I'm the king. You got f***ing nothing on me. Again,

I would like to just reiterate to our audiences that I've been here numerous times and never seen or heard a cat so kit sanity is still uh up for say so anyway let's get back to the log nest monster where the f**k you were talking about side note though you hear them now you hear the cats now because uh they're loud it's all i hear outside wake up in the morning hear the cats i'm on the tube the cats they're fighting beside me on the seats work the cats burn down your work building kit okay so 15 minutes

near 10 o'clock they cry all the time at the door and then they wander off as if nothing is wrong but this week something has been happening shortly after the usual cat stuff, around 10.30 or so, Adam starts getting phone calls from an unmarked number. Usually, for me personally, usually it's a telemarketer using like an automatic ring service. Yeah. So it's quite annoying. You pick up and it takes a second.

Once it takes a second to connect, you're like, okay, this is. Also, when they mispronounce your name it's like hello mr rory pow pow pow pow pow town but it's good now because i can just tell them that i'm a paranormal investigator this is just the sound of a phone hanging up but they know there's no money to be won here holy shit i see the cat oh yeah oh my god it's about to kick off baby i see one of them right now so you see them too that's what happens you've got the gift boy that's what happens if you hang around these parts long enough the gas leak in the basement will really get to you see cat fights everywhere

well adam thinks the same thing he thinks it's called to be a telemarketer and usually you know if you pick up and go blah blah blah and hang up yeah you know that's it they'll leave you alone because they know it'll take you off a list or whatever yeah uh so he does he picks up and he doesn't say anything he just waits because it'll take a second for the call to connect. But instead of a telemarketer, all he hears is this electrical static sound. Not good. Never good. Which is very similar to, in part one, I think we mentioned that he was using a sleep app to record sounds. Right.

Some of the sounds he heard was this exact same thing. This electrical static sound. And now it's coming through on the phone. The call's at 10 p. Right. Some of the sounds he heard was this exact same thing, this electrical static sound. Uh-huh. And now it's coming through on the phone. It calls at 10 p.m. So Adam writes, after about a minute,

the static stopped and there was just silence. I kept listening. I heard what I thought was breathing, but it was so faint I can't be sure. My heart was racing

so it was hard to hear. Then just as I was about to hang up I heard a very small voice whisper. Hello. Adam panics and hangs up the phone. Oh that's pretty good. What are you thinking? What are your thoughts man? I mean at first I thought that was a butt dial. That sounds like a classic butt dial is static, silence, rustling, and then eventually breathing because people don't realize that they're on the phone too. But the hello definitely bunks that trend. Yeah. Like a childish whispery hello.

Yeah. I would like it if it was still just a telemarketer. It's like, hello, did you purchase PPI insurance in the last six months? Oh, Christ. He did a classic horror movie thing earlier on when he saw the empty warehouse and he walked in. Because you always go, don't go in the warehouse. This is one time when I wish he would have stayed on the phone a little longer. But it's still pretty creepy.

But again, that's like the horror trope is that you get a phone call, you panic and you go, hang it up. Yeah, that's true. It's very tropey. This is a tropey story. it's almost as if it's written i know what you mean because you know he's not in any harm on a phone i don't actually i don't know how ghosts work maybe i don't know well we've i mean i was about to say we've seen the ring i haven't actually seen the ring but i know enough about the ring to know that that's how it works. That it's circular. They phone you or some shit. Yeah. And then you die seven days later.

Oh, no, you have to watch the video. Ah, shit. There's another one with a phone. I swear to God. Yeah, I don't know. It's something spooky, but it's also something very easily explained. This could be a prank caller. Because also, the dude now

it's crazy he's blown up he's got like yes 200 000 followers since this kicked off so say one of the hundreds of people who have his phone number think it would be funny off the back of this to do this exactly which god damn it people would you stop it you think this is a game sorry i swear if any of you bitches listen to this right now i think it'll be funny to start prank calling 078441 don't give them your don't give them the whole number oh oh because then they could actually call me we don't want but if any of you motherfuckers want to come by 92 naples way street not my address your address oh my one. Yeah. All right. 17 Oak Lane. You little piece of shit. Want to get laid out.

You want a cat fight? You think you can take him? I'll be hiding in a bush nearby. I'm going to drop you as soon as you drop him. There's three more of them waiting in bushes nearby to take us both out. Oh, I had a photo. This whole time I had a photo of his bruised arm as well. Oh, throw it to me. You can kind of see it. his bruised arm as well. Oh, throw it to me.

You can kind of see it. It's on the wrist there. Don't throw it to me. There you go. It's a finger. Speech. All right. Flash forward again.

Yes, sir. August 29th. Oh, we're getting painfully close. This is just a couple days ago. This is three days later. It's now August 29th. Wow. Adam does something smart.

Something that I would have done on day one cool move the f**k out move city it's a start this is a start towards that direction delete your account he moves the damn green chair out of his bedroom cool i mean we talked about this frankly i would nuke it and send it to space but moving it away from your bed where you dream is a good start yeah so adam also mentions in his tweets that he's going to going on a trip to japan in a few weeks cool cool so in preparation he buys one of those pet monitoring cameras you know the guy's got two lovely cats you want to make sure that they're okay when they're gone it's basically like a nanny cam yeah so it runs for 24 hours connects to the wi-fi and then when there's any movement or sound

it'll send you ping notifications on an app or whatever and be like hey the cats are have shit on the floor and it's basically a horror movie gold is what it is yeah you can see where this is going uh the camera is pointed at what I assume is his front door area. There's like a shelf, the green chair now that's been moved, TV, all the usual stuff. So Adam decides to hook it up over the weekend to test it out before his trip. So he sets up the camera before he goes out one night. Well, while he's out, his phone pings him a couple of times. And it's the usual stuff.

Cats running around, etc. And then he gets another alert at 11pm saying that it detected some motion. So he checks the feed to see what the cats are up to. But he doesn't see anything. Odd. He watches it again on his phone. Nothing. No cats.

Just still frame. So he watches it a third time. And that's when he sees it, Kit. Don't go back for the third time. I have the footage right here, Kit. And I want to show it to you because it's... It's pretty f***ing scary, man. I ain't slept for a while.

Okay, okay. Oh, you got on your phone. So this is his pet cam filming the room and i don't want to startle you at home but that green chair is rocking of its own accord it's insane we're literally watching a video of this chair rock by itself if this was a twitter hoax i'm not entirely sure how he's done this you can the whole chair is in shot there's not like a hand rocking it at the bottom yeah you know there's not like a string being pulled it's just a chair rocking by itself devil's advocate okay here we go the video is not that high quality i mean there could be

something attached to it you think this man has nothing better to do with his day than fake a rocking chair all i'm saying is this is where i adopt saying is... This is where I adopt... Adam, I apologize. This is where I adopt just, like, in the town hall meeting where they're all deciding what to do about this ghost situation. There's, like, one, like, really shitty person in the crowd who's like, this guy's getting pretty famous off all this.

I think he's a crook. So you're doubtful? You're doubtful twice? I don't know. I'm just saying that um you know like those ghost shows like most haunted and all that like there's myriad ghost shows right those documentaries their bread and butter is rocking chairs rocking of their own accord yeah i mean it is like uh again it's a trope but it is the object that we've seen pop up a couple

times so it would be the one that we might most likely to move whether or not it fits in with the horror genre or not yeah it's true um whether or not you believe that kit i've actually got another video because it pings later on in the night okay let's see how you feel about this one i really appreciate the degree of evidence this is unprecedented for this paranormal life yeah and just paranormal cases in general yeah very rare okay so we're in the exact same location looking at the living room i'm keeping my eyes on the rocking chair watching for other stuff whoa what was that whoa a little boy scurries across the floor Flips me off I just missed something I'm gonna have to rewind and get it

You're damn right you will Okay, I'm rewinding Oh, what was that? I've done like I've done the kind of horror movie Don't go back a third time, Kit No, he's here Eyes roll back into your skull

The cat I've done like the horror movie Trope where you do the freeze, creepy freeze frame on what it is. God. For those listening at home, which is everyone, there's a kind of bookshelf and something falls from out of frame, presumably the ceiling. A small dark round object and it lands on the shelf, but it goes out of sight immediately. It's all very fast you can stop the video and see for yourself exactly what's happened so again this is great we're seeing two cases of actual i guess what you could say physical evidence yeah of these

interferences true happening that's some of the last things that have happened in this case cool cool cool so we're all caught up as of this day that we're recording this podcast i think the podcast might go out a little later so again adam is most likely dead by now yeah for his next video on twitter is just going to be all his worldly possessions circling around him in the sky as the investigator in this particular case what are are you thinking? Well, I've got a couple of little pieces of my investigation that I want to do before I come to my conclusion. Sure. So I did a little research.

I googled earlier how to kill ghosts. Uh-huh, uh-huh. I can't believe you forgot that, dude. That was like second semester, dude. Turned out it was gun. Gun kills ghosts. Gun kills all. But a lot of people were saying you can't.

You can't kill a ghost. You can make them vanish. You can make them go away. But I mean, they're dead. Yeah, I mean, the word kill doesn't really apply. Exactly. But I was looking into different ways in which you can measure them, detect them, trap them. And one of the things they sell are these different type of readers that measure the

electro waves around you and auras so you can get little readings so i looked on amazon and i thought we should get one of these for the podcast this would be great for our investigations they were expensive i said no but what i did do cool was download an app called Ghost Sensor. As it happens, it's 3,500 pounds to download. It's also a yearly subscription. You have to pay them per ghost detected. Oh my God, 10,000 ghosts in the first five seconds. How is this possible? I'm so broke.

There's a lot of dead people, I guess. So I have the ghost detector right here. Wow. I mean, that thing looks scientific. Yeah, it looks really impressive. What I think we should do is, if you're on your laptop right if you can bring up the picture or sorry the video okay that chair rocking i'm going to activate the ghost detector and we'll just see what happens on the board here this is just so damn scientific i know christ i'm on the edge of my seat so i've got the video lined up and you've got your app ready to go.

I've got Ghost Detector ready to rock. Cool. I'm a little scared, man. I'm not going to lie. My palms are really sweaty. All right, can you point it in my direction so the Ghost Detector can see it? Okay. All right.

I'm going to hit the button now to activate the Ghost Detector. Let's do it. Ranges from min to max. There's no in between in a ghost life it's extremely arbitrary uh okay so we're just gonna go ahead and give this one a whirl i like the way the colors are uh yellow and red there's no green there's no good amount of ghosts to have yeah it's yellow to red run oh there's even a little measure here for aura. Wow. Like a little side one. That's really fun. Okay.

Here we go. Play the video and I'll play this. We'll sync up. Go. No content. Jesus. Okay, we're at min. I'm going to move slowly closer.

We're going to move them closer together. It's peaking a little bit. It's moving a little more on min. We're halfway. my god holy shit oh it's close wait i'm gonna get it closer we hit three lights oh christ for those listening at home ghouls are frankly spiraling around the room out of control and at that point the chair has stopped moving um and i think the the detector has slowed down a little bit we hit three lights on the detector cool we never made it into max

okay on the ghost detector aura was always pretty straight lining i'm not gonna go just by this app that i downloaded for free that offers in-app purchases which increase the chances of finding a ghost um cool but um you know these are things that we have to take into consideration now that wasn't the only app that i downloaded i downloaded one more app but i don't know whether or not we're going to use it. Because first, I need to establish, Kit, if your house is haunted. If this house right now that we're in is haunted. Despite the hundreds of cats that are fighting right now outside of our window. But that's outside the house. I don't think that's bearing on the insides.

Within the confines of the house. Yeah. Is there any paranormal activity going on right here? Not that I'm aware of. We've never gone there. Granted, there is an attic space that I'm never going to look into. Right. I mean, it's worth pointing out that this time we went to record the podcast,

I mean, it's the same room we've always done, but now there's a hole in the roof. Granted. Right. There's several holes in several of our ceilings. There are large spiders. I don't believe they're hunted. They're definitely spooky, but I don't believe they're haunted.

Yeah. You were playing Jumanji earlier as well, which was weird. Yes, sir. I did summon a jungle man of sorts, but I sent him whence he came. And he is gone. He's gone now. As of this afternoon. So you think it's a ghoul-free area?

I believe. All right. Well, I'm going to put that to the test kit. Because I, on my laptop, have a quiz that you the test kit Because I On my laptop Have a quiz That you can take To tell whether or not Your house is haunted Alright

Alright I'm up for this What if the plot twist of this Is that I'm the ghost Of my house So the first question Is like Are there other inhabitants

Of the house That don't want you there Oh well yeah For sure Yeah The residents For one They're real dicks

Always forming circles And reading from the bible They've got priests around here Oh, well, yeah, for sure. Yeah, the residents, for one. They're real dicks. Always forming circles and reading from the Bible. They've got priests around here six nights a week. Can you believe that? They don't like it when I fight outside with the other cats. Wait, are you a cat? No, what? What are your favorite activities?

I don't know, possessing cats, fighting other cats. All right, Kid Greer, are you ready to find out whether or not your house, house we're in right now is haunted are you trying to buy my house you're trying to nag me on the price of my house not only is your house haunted but it's structurally not sound dangerous dangerous worst um now this is a quiz that i found and didn't read through so we're experiencing this together okay all right so question number one what is your age i actually forgot my age recently did you ever do that like talking to someone yeah i forget what year it is non-stop ridiculous uh yeah i'm 25 25 so you fit in the 25 to 30 years old category that's true what is your gender i mean i've wondered this decline to come out

excuse male do things move by themselves i guess that means what in the house in my house just cars and machines yeah i don't think so i know you don't think i'm gonna be real with you right now do you hear noises the cats also all the time i mean my tinnitus is through the roof i just hear a constant howling and that's without the cats adding the cats i can't hear my own goddamn mother talking to me on the phone number six do you know if anyone has died recently in your house oh i've not lived here for even uh but a year so very potentially We'll go, yeah, one or two. I guess people die in every house. Literally everywhere.

They just drop dead. Yeah. We're probably on an Indian burial ground right now. Yeah. I mean, granted, we are in the... The Native American section of the British Museum. Right. Yes, granted.

Where I've pitched my tent. Illegally. For. Yes, granted. Where I've pitched my tent. Illegally. For the last few months. Are there times where you don't feel like yourself? Brackets. This could be a sign of possession. Ooh, that's a good question. That's a really good question.

I definitely like to pawn off my behaviours on my alter ego, Chad. Right. Yeah, so whenever I do something a little bit naughty uh like i i smash something uh deliberately or i um or i verbally abuse my my um flatmates my flatmates i like to say that's chad chad kit wouldn't do that you see so that's more of a chad thing to do chad's a pretty massive dickling oh my god yeah unbelievable i mean he like he takes people's like phones and he'll just like throw them down the toilet like

out the window stuff like that so right now this is classic chad this is kit i think so for the moment in speaking yeah yeah chad comes around pretty quick look at your phone though often if i'm uh ever insulted uh chad appears pretty damn fast yeah you're not wrong if i have a beer i mean chad really finishes that beer off yeah um have you looked at something in brackets like a book or something right turned around turned back around and it wasn't there so specific this is the person who wrote this quiz is trying to work out if he's haunted these have all happened to him no sometimes i walk into i think everyone does that thing where they walk into a room forget what they're doing so you were possessed maybe kit walked in chad walked out that's what

you're saying uh but you're saying this objects aren't disappearing not to my knowledge okay do you ever have unexplainable dreams slash nightmares absolutely dude i had a a couple of them but still another cat story i completely forgot about this i've got a nightmare to tell you about i had a nightmare last night dude okay so a cat story this is unbelievably i can't believe i totally you know whenever you blank on a dream until someone brings it up yeah this is my i and and my girlfriend could verify this if needs be because i told her she is a cat though felicity for sure um yeah i dreamt last night okay that i'd got a new job and and i was i was headed up across town i got the bus

across town to my new job and i went to the building for the first time very large grand kind of uh chandeliers and everything haunted ass building very spooky and um and the whenever i got there whoever i was seeing they were like oh just take a seat um in the waiting room or whatever and this little cat was walking about jesus christ this cat like you know the cats just kind of like walk over you or whatever yeah this thing was walking on my shoulders. With his little freaking paws around my neck. Wait for it, dude. What? This cat.

You know whenever cats, like, bring out their little claws? Yes. To, like, kind of, like, you know, settled on you or whatever. And they were kind of, like, pincing me. Just, like, pricking me. And I was like, ow. And then it started doing it to my face. And kind of, like, sticking his claws into my face a little

bit and then over my eyes i was like i was like kind of laughing it off and like i little shit i can't i can't see if you do that i can't see if you're like pricking my eyes with your paws and the cat whispered in dude. I'll't breathe. Oh my god. So I guess apart from that, nothing too spooky in my nightmares. That's the most f***ed up thing I've ever heard. Oh my god. The fact that that ties into everything. You need to move.

You have to move. You're going to be like Adam. You're going to wake up with like scratches on your face. So I guess I have had a few nightmares. Jesus Christ. We could skip the rest. Just go straight to yes. Haunted as f***.

Okay. Yes. Every night, all the time. Uh-huh. Okay. Last question. Yes. Just so you know, I think my house is haunted.

It's not even Last question. Yes. Just so you know, I think my house is haunted. It's not your question. It's just him saying, I think his, I guess the person who takes, made the quiz thinks their house is haunted because the only options to choose are awesome, cool, I don't really care and results now. I mean, I think you can feel that one to be honest. Results now, please. Ooh, your house is 46% haunted. Yeah, so, I mean, but is 50%, like, is it like a pass at university?

It's a really confusing result because it says, your house is 46% haunted with 46% of a bar filled out. Cool. Then the description is, your house is somewhat haunted, but it still is. You have to be careful with what you do. If things get too out of hand, please do something about it.

So we found out that your house is 46% haunted. I'd say that's about fair. I'm going to round off our investigation into your house with the second app that i downloaded oh which is the ghost detector okay all right so i'm gonna what was the last one if this go sensor yeah this is sorry i'll try and keep up so it's calibrating the sensors right now right uh and there we go we're gonna load in this actually uses the camera right it

seems to be sort of ar type thing it uses the camera well it's obviously not ar it's irl um and it yeah so uh it uses the sensors on your phone to measure evp levels and detect paranormal activities obviously it stands for every day you're stalling i'm not stalling i'm just pausing for dramatic effect okay it obviously stands for one of the biggest terms yeah in the paranormal i mean just get industry and that term is evp yeah no i know that bit, but if you could just explain it. Enormously very paranormal is what it stands for. Thanks. That's all I wanted to know. And we need to know whether it's legit.

So to start, I've been served an ad. For Clash of Kings? For Clash of Kings, sure. Which obviously we need to watch before we get to the ghost detection. Okay. So as you can see, Kit. christ what's happening you need to see what you look like oh dear holy shit i'm gonna screen cap this and put it on our twitter and facebook do i look good you look you look like david do like a uh do like a peace sign or

something so we can see your hands so as you you can see, by this app, it allows you to scan the surroundings. Do you want to pass it to me and I can see what you look like? Yeah, 100%. I'll screenshot. Oh! We got a ghost signal. It's here on the radar. Okay, I'm going to move around and track it.

Here we go. Entity detected. Type ghost. Frequency 0.0483157. We can ask it a question. What? What should we say? Jesus Christ.

What's up? What's up? Do they speak English? I don't know. I just sent it. Okay, it's transmitting now. I can actually see the ghost. This is weird.

What does it look like? It's like a... Come over here. It's like a glowy spirit. Receiving response. He's responding. Look. Oh, that.

It's right here. Oh, my neck! Oh, shit! Oh, shit, my neck! Now he's right in back. That's a little kid. I don't like this. I'm not actually joking. I'm not joking. I'm not joking. I'm not joking. It's right here- OH MY NECK! Shit! Shit, my neck! Now he's writing back. That's a little kid, I don't like this.

I'm- I'm not actually joking, that really hurt my neck. Did you really? Yeah, like, I got a really sharp pain. F*** me, he said, stop while you can. And I was- and then I'm served an ad! About bitcoin trading! Stop while we can! Okay, I'm stopping there you get like that horrible yeah that horrible twitch in my neck where it's like being stabbed in the side of my head oh

that's awful i'm gonna leave that down to just something that happens to humans stop while you can't do you think he listens to the pod the pod's going downhill we've investigated adam's case we've gone a little further we found out what it is to be living in a haunted house we've investigated adam's case we've gone a little further we found out what it is to be living in a haunted house we've investigated our own spirits we've used the ghost sensor to investigate adam's footage we've used the ghost detector to examine our own surroundings and have experiences with that's right what do you think where do you come down yeah this is definitely some interesting developments uh this has been some pretty pretty rock hard evidence yeah um granted i've flip-flopped a couple times over the course of this podcast but

um if that isn't being a paranormal investigator i don't know what is that was definitely pretty interesting that last video i like that the video evidence as you say these are tropey activities yeah um this is quite textbook stuff and that's in that regard, it's somewhat believable. I think lots of people have experienced things like this all around the world. I think Adam has just gone to extra lengths to document this. And he has this kind of fan base online that everyone's piling in and taking interest in it. It's definitely quite convincing. I don't know about the exact details like i don't know if we're

looking for you know the popular illustration of dear david that we posted for example accompanying our last podcast right i don't know if that's what we're actually looking for here like a genuine little boy running around with a cave yeah whether it's just negative spirits yeah some sort of bad juju now i've been close to this case i've been close to the ghosts because i've been downloading apps yeah one of my major hang-ups here sure is that usually when we have someone going out of their way to announce that they had a horrible paranormal experience it is at the risk of their own reputation it ruins their careers it ruins their home life it makes them an uncredible source in their job line and it it can essentially ruin

people's lives because it's so traumatic the response that this has had has tripled adam's followers and also it's different now that i'm reading it to you but all of these tweets about the incidents are written so it's so scripted so tight instead of just tweeting out all the paragraphs of like i can't believe what's happening it's so i opened the door nothing weird okay and then that's the tweet and then there's another tweet with a little bit more information yeah and then a little bit more he's telling a story yeah yeah he's not being. He's telling a story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's not being haunted. It's telling a story, which is a little disheartening because there is a very large amount of evidence in this case. And it's an interesting case.

It's a romantic case, which I think people like to believe. People like believing in ghost stories. But in terms of whether or not I think it is real, I got to say, after two episodes of research, it's going to be a no from me. That's fair. That's more than fair. Yeah.

Where do you come down, Kit? I think that's a pretty fair evaluation, Rory. It's a little too neat and tidy. Yes, I agree. You know, we've investigated cases in the past, you know, like Philip Schneider, you know, who's investigating underground aliens and that kind of thing. God, he ended up with, you know, he didn't have 30,000 followers on Twitter. He ended up with a goddamn garden hoser on his neck, dead in his apartment.

Yeah. You know, that's what happens to these guys who are unveiling the truth. And I know what you mean. That gives it more credence that they kind of gave it all for it. You know, I guess what's fascinating about this is this is a very new medium for paranormal research. So I guess, you know, this might be a pill we have to swallow that people are going to be disclosing this information

over social media from now on. Yeah, I guess it's the equivalent of, for example, the man that gets kidnapped by aliens and then goes to write his novel about what it was like being kidnapped by aliens and then goes to write his novel about what it was like being kidnapped by aliens and tours the world his career now is the experience that he may or may not have had and this is a very watered down version of that it's using this experience to uh garner huge amounts of social media attention and it's gotten to the point where whether or not

adam does believe this is happening to him he's abusing the situation and turning it into a show for the world right rather than i need help i truly believe my house is being haunted by a child it would be interesting to see if uh i don't know if the case will develop that far um but if he was willing to um have the goddamn ghostbusters down there with their ghost apps and try and suck these things up with a hoover yeah you know I've played enough Luigi's Mansion to know how it works I mean we know we know these things you can't kill them but you can detect them and talk to them absolutely and then get weird sharp pains in your neck so again this case is ongoing I think in terms of our investigation we're putting the stamp down on it as a double no that's right um but if anything does change we might talk about it fleetingly on

the end of uh of other episodes it's not something we're going to give up on you would like to keep keep up to date with paranormal casings but in terms of dear david and the investigation so far that's a double no from us that's right right. But we hope you enjoyed this episode of This Paranormal Life. And join us next week for a brand new paranormal tale.
