• 0:00Kaelyn Moore?

  Welcome back to Heart Starts Pounding. I'm your host, Kayla Moore, and today I have a very special episode for you all. So last November, I spent one of, if not the most terrifying nights of my life inside of the most haunted Airbnb in Salem, Massachusetts with Corinne and Sabrina from the Two Girls One Ghost Podcast. I'm sharing part one of our two-part series today, where we go over the dark history of the Henry Derby House, where we stayed, its connections to the infamous witch trials and executions. And in this episode, we also chat about the entities people have encountered inside. That will set the stage for part two, where we do an overnight ghost hunt inside of the house. And you guys,

• 0:44Kaelyn Moore?

  it gets wild. That's going to be shared on the Two Girls One Ghost feed tomorrow, February 25th, and I'll include links to listen in the description as soon as that's live. And I will just add here that not only did we contact something in the house, but I think we may have completed some unfinished business for a ghost. And I'm not even kidding. I'm so excited for you to see it. It was one of the craziest experiences of my life, and I'm actually still getting goosebumps as I tell you about it. So here's what I want from you guys. If you catch anything in these episodes, maybe you heard something or saw something, if you're watching on YouTube, that we didn't notice. Or maybe there's something about the history of the house that helps make

• 1:26Kaelyn Moore?

  the ghost hunt make more sense. Please let me know. And if you are a regular Two Girls One Ghosts listener, visiting us today, welcome. Our community for the Darkly Curious gathers here in the study of the Rogue Detecting Society every Wednesday, and we love guests as much as we love ghosts. So please make yourself at home. Just watch out for our cursed monkey, Gordy. But for now, please enjoy part one.

• 1:54Kaelyn Moore?

  We're sitting here in the Henry Derby House. Yes. I will say, this is the first time I've ever recorded in a haunted house. Like I've been. In Salem, Massachusetts, no less. It's the perfect place for like my first time. Yeah. You know?

• 2:06Speaker 01

  I think it's the first time we're recording a full episode in a haunted.

• 2:10Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, wait, you're right.

• 2:11Speaker 01

  We've recorded from a haunted hotel before.

• 2:14Kaelyn Moore?

  Oh, which one?

• 2:15Speaker 01

  Actually, in Austin, the Driscoll.

• 2:16Kaelyn Moore?

  The Driscoll. Okay, let's, let's go over what we're gonna be doing here, so everyone knows. So we're in this haunted Airbnb because we're gonna stay here tonight and we're gonna try to contact stuff. Ghosts. Yeah. Stuff. Stuff. I mean, ghosts, whatever's here, it could be demonic, I don't know. Like, so we'll get into it, but I know there's like stuff here that's maybe not ghosts. Um, I've never done a full blown ghost hunt with all the equipment and everything, so I'm so glad you guys brought stuff. I'm scared that by talking about it, we're gonna start conjuring things. That's what happens. In the room, which is like usually how it goes, right? Yeah. Yeah. So after we do our ghost hunt, I am staying the night in this Airbnb with my mother. And Kryn and I are like, bye. We're like, we're driving home to our, our own beds.

• 3:00Kaelyn Moore?

  My house is haunted though, too. So is mine. Oh. You're going to your own ghosts. Oh, yeah, we all have ghosts at home. Yeah. Yeah. These ones are. These ones are new, so we're, we don't know what we're getting into, but basically, we're gonna do this ghost hunt. The whole ghost hunt is gonna be available on your YouTube channel or in your, your podcast as well. Two Girls, One Ghost. I mean, do you wanna give a little overview? I know a lot of my listeners listen to your show, but do you wanna give a little bit of an overview of the show for people who don't know? Sure. It's called Two Girls, One Ghost because we do cover a lot of ghost stories, but we really cover anything in the macabre and weird. So we love Bigfoot, alien abductions, all of that kind of weird and fun and spooky sort of vibe. And that's how we became friends in college.

• 3:44Kaelyn Moore?

  We met, I shared a fun fact about myself in Intro to Theater, which I shouldn't have shared. Like, it's not a way to make friends, but apparently it worked. But it worked. My fun fact was, I grew up in a haunted house. That's so fun. Yeah, Sabrina was like, oh my God. She attracted the right type or wrong type, I don't know. It's worked out. I felt like I grew up in a haunted house. Also, so I think I would have also. Yeah, you would have. Yeah, we would have been a trio then. Yeah. So on your show, you cover lots of ghosts and the whole ghost hunt is gonna live on your feed. And today on Heartland's Pounding, what we're gonna do is I want to talk about the history of this house. Yeah. Because I think it's gonna scare us even more being here. You guys are gonna talk a little bit about like the ghost sightings that people have had in the house.

• 4:26Kaelyn Moore?

  And then for the full experience, they can go over to your feed. So I'm excited. We'll put together a good sizzle reel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

• 4:34Speaker 02

  And just to also clarify for your listeners, so our, our typical episodes, we have two episodes that come out every single week. One is filled with stories that listeners submit of their own haunting tales. And the other one is researched. So we research a place like this and talk about the history, the mystery of the hauntings. And then we have more recently started dabbling and actually like doing in-person ghost hunts. So we have a few kind of special, different.

• 5:00Kaelyn Moore?

  Is there one that people should go to first if they want to get like a good vibe of the show?

• 5:05Speaker 02

  Well, if you'd like to listen on YouTube, there is an episode we covered about, I can't remember the specific number, but we covered objects in the Greg and Dana Newkirk Haunted Objects Museum.

• 5:18Kaelyn Moore?

  Oh, yeah.

• 5:19Speaker 02

  That haunted us and a lot of our listeners.

• 5:22Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, listening to the episode, a lot of people started to experience something of their own, which happens a lot. We won't know what episode will start to trigger things, but there'll be a specific episode we'll put out. And within that week, we'll just get flooded with emails being like, I listened to this episode and all of this happened.

• 5:37Speaker 02

  Peggy the Doll episodes.

• 5:38Kaelyn Moore?

  That's another really haunted one.

• 5:40Speaker 02

  That if you want to get haunted, highly recommend those.

• 5:44Kaelyn Moore?

  And the Smurl Possession, that's another one that really got people haunted. Possession?

• 5:47Speaker 02

  The Smurl Possession.

• 5:48Kaelyn Moore?

  Oh, you should look into that. Oh, my God. Is that one gonna haunt me if I listen to it?

• 5:53Speaker 02

  Um, I don't know.

• 5:54Kaelyn Moore?

  Fingers crossed if I'm lucky.

• 5:57Speaker 02

  But if you want to check out just the audio, um, our most haunted episode is episode 12. It's called Dominus.

• 6:04Kaelyn Moore?

  And it was early days of podcasting, so.

• 6:08Speaker 02

  Like, give us a break.

• 6:10Speaker 01

  Be patient. It's the listener's story specifically at the end of the episode. We highly recommend not driving while listening. That's all we'll say.

• 6:18Kaelyn Moore?

  Whoa, okay. Wow. Some of my listeners can't listen to my show while they drive because I included like sirens and car crashes as sound effects in a lot of the earlier episodes. And people were like, hey, can you stop doing that? And I was like, I did not even think about that.

• 6:31Speaker 02

  That one Rihanna song that has the sirens in the background.

• 6:34Kaelyn Moore?

  I think all the time. It's on the radio and you're like, oh my God, what's happening?

• 6:38Speaker 01

  Am I getting pulled over?

• 6:39Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. Okay. So let's get into the history a little bit of this place before we dive into the haunts. So we're in the Henry Derby House, which is situated in Salem, directly across the street from the Broad Street Cemetery. And this house was built in 1838, which was 150 years after the Salem witch trials that Salem is known for. And though it was built so long afterwards, the history of the house is still incredibly intertwined in the witch trials. Like, there's a, there's a lot of overlap, which I'm going to get into.

• 7:15Speaker 01

  Well, sorry.

• 7:17Kaelyn Moore?

  Just, no, no, no. Yeah.

• 7:18Speaker 01

  You and I walked through the Broad Street Cemetery before this and you mentioned, one, that there's so many unmarked graves.

• 7:25Kaelyn Moore?

  Yes.

• 7:25Speaker 01

  And two, that people today still, while walking, will fall into graves. Like, literally the ground will cave through, cave in, and people will fall.

• 7:35Kaelyn Moore?

  So that's like a big part of Broad Street Cemetery is it's the most dangerous cemetery in Salem right now. Because there's so many underground tombs and there's not really walking paths. So they're actually afraid that people are going to start falling through the ground into the tombs. So it'll probably be closed within the next, what'd they say, like 10, 15 years?

• 7:54Speaker 01

  Isn't that terrifying?

• 7:55Speaker 02

  Truly something I didn't think would be a problem, walking through a cemetery. I never thought. You know, like you go over super greats and you wonder if it's just going to be a little too loose and you're going to drop.

• 8:05Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 8:05Speaker 02

  But now. Never thought about like falling into some old geezer's casket.

• 8:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 8:10Speaker 02

  Jeez.

• 8:11Speaker 01

  But it makes me wonder if there were any like unmarked graves on the land that this house now stands on.

• 8:18Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, there. Definitely are. I might talk about it a little more in the research, but back in the day, it was very common to be buried on your property. And so a lot of like the witches, why they don't know where the witches were, or the women who were accused of witchcraft, exactly where they're buried is a lot of their bodies were most likely taken back to their homes. And so that's basically made all of Salem a big graveyard because everyone has bones on their land of the people that lived there.

• 8:45Speaker 01

  I want to bring that back.

• 8:47Kaelyn Moore?

  Me too, kind of. I love the idea of like, uh, like on the land, family cemetery.

• 8:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, me too.

• 8:52Kaelyn Moore?

  I actually love what they do in New Orleans, where they just put the whole family in one big tomb. And then it's so hot, it kind of like cooks everyone down.

• 9:00Speaker 01

  You get melded together.

• 9:01Kaelyn Moore?

  You make like a big family stew.

• 9:02Speaker 01

  Family stew.

• 9:03Kaelyn Moore?

  Melded together.

• 9:04Speaker 01

  Your bones get like mixed up.

• 9:05Kaelyn Moore?

  Good soup. There's something romantic about like that.

• 9:07Speaker 01

  Family soup.

• 9:08Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. So who was Henry who lived in this house? Henry was, um, maybe you've seen like around that everything's named Derby. There's Derby Square, Derby Street. There's like a Derby.

• 9:20Speaker 01

  The Derby.

• 9:21Kaelyn Moore?

  The Derby is a restaurant. Well, that's actually Henry's uncle. Henry's uncle was Elias Derby, who was a ship merchant and like the first millionaire in America, which I, how cool. I had no idea. Also back then.

• 9:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 9:35Kaelyn Moore?

  Which is like a billionaire now.

• 9:37Speaker 01

  Jesus.

• 9:37Kaelyn Moore?

  I mean, I don't know math, but probably a lot of money.

• 9:41Speaker 01

  Into shippery.

• 9:42Kaelyn Moore?

  And we should have lived back then.

• 9:44Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh.

• 9:44Kaelyn Moore?

  If you got into shippery back then, you would be rich for generations, as is evidenced by this house, because they were rich for generations. Um, fun fact, but his biggest ship, Elias Derby's biggest ship is actually the ship that's on the Old Spice. It's logo.

• 9:59Speaker 01

  No way.

• 10:00Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 10:01Speaker 01

  That is so cool.

• 10:02Kaelyn Moore?

  That is so. So that's a Salem ship. So you can tell everyone.

• 10:05Speaker 01

  Wow. Every time we walk through CVS, fun fact.

• 10:08Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. Everyone's gonna love that you bring that up all the time, as I've been doing since I've been here. So, okay, so Henry had this house built because he was a little bit of an nepo baby. He came from a really rich family. Um, but he himself was a tailor, so he like made his own money too. But I will say, when he had this house built, he probably didn't know exactly like the cursed nature of this area that he was building the house on. And that's because this house is built on something called the Judges Line. Have you heard of this before?

• 10:39Speaker 01

  No.

• 10:40Kaelyn Moore?

  This is really interesting. I found this from a tour guide in Salem who talked about it. And then I looked it up and there were like a few other people online that were talking about it. But the judge's line is one of the scariest things I've ever heard of.

• 10:53Speaker 01

  Oh, my God.

• 10:54Kaelyn Moore?

  And it's basically, you can draw a line on a map through Salem and hit most of the points that were involved in the Salem witch trials.

• 11:05Speaker 01

  How very astro cartography.

• 11:06Kaelyn Moore?

  Yes. And it gets like really bizarre, because if you draw a straight line, you start at the home of Alice Parker, who was accused of witchcraft, and she was hanged in the trials. And then it continues through where Thomas Beadle's Tavern was, which is where some of the witch trial inquests happened.

• 11:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 11:24Kaelyn Moore?

  And then it hits the witch house, the like famous witch house of Salem, which is where Judge Corwin lived, who was the man who sentenced the accused witches to death. And then it goes through his nephew's home, which was George Corwin, who was another nepo baby of, he was the nephew of the judge. But he was the one who signed all the arrests. I mean, you guys have come to Salem so much. I'm sorry I'm mansplaining this to you, but

• 11:49Speaker 01

  No, we love it.

• 11:49Kaelyn Moore?

  My audience is gonna wanna know.

• 11:52Speaker 01

  A good refresher.

• 11:53Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, just a little refresher.

• 11:54Speaker 02

  It's been so long since we've done a tour or even researched it.

• 11:57Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 11:58Speaker 02

  This is great.

• 11:59Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. Okay, so you know, the Joshua Ward House, which is where George Corwin lived. So the line goes through there. And then it comes down through Essex Street, which is where all the witches, all the women accused of witchcraft were carted down towards the gallows. And then it hits Proctor's Ledge, which is where the executions happened.

• 12:17Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 12:18Speaker 02

  I hate this because it feels like it was predetermined, all of these people's fates or involvement.

• 12:24Kaelyn Moore?

  That idea that it was kind of like written out, like written in the stars.

• 12:27Speaker 01

  What is fate?

• 12:28Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. Yeah, that you can, like, one of the first people accused in the witch trials, and it ends at the gallows, is really...

• 12:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's so unsettling.

• 12:38Kaelyn Moore?

  Really eerie. And so some people who are more inclined to believe in like the spooky supernatural, think it's a ley line, like there's some sort of energy that runs through this area that is very bad and negative and dark. And we are right on like the cusp of that line that runs through the town. So this land that we're on is part of that procession.

• 12:59Speaker 01

  Well, so far, I haven't felt anything weird.

• 13:01Speaker 02

  No.

• 13:01Speaker 01

  The third floor is creepy, but yeah.

• 13:04Speaker 02

  When you first came out here, Sabrina, and you were spending time in Marblehead and getting to know the area, the second you crossed over the line into Salem, you felt

• 13:12Speaker 01

  Night and day.

• 13:13Speaker 02

  That, and that was closer to where Proctor's ledge is.

• 13:16Speaker 01

  So I live in Marblehead, and which you and your mom visited, but I was there for like Little Writer's Retreat by myself, and truly, it was like so magical, and I walked the path that goes from Marblehead to Salem. And I didn't even notice that the sign that says "Welcome to Salem" was right there, because I instantly like felt a shift, and it was different. And I noticed the sign was right there, and I was like, wow, that's weird. And then every time I've gone back and forth, you do kind of feel a difference.

• 13:44Speaker 02

  Yeah, there's a lot of pockets of energy buzzing throughout this town.

• 13:48Kaelyn Moore?

  I mean, there must have been a reason that it happened in Salem, instead of like happening all over the country, like all these witch trials, like there is something specific to Salem.

• 13:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:57Kaelyn Moore?

  Which is why it all happened here, which is really spooky. And so I have here that maybe our guy, Henry, didn't know that that's what was going on with the land when he built the house. But what he probably did know, may have known, was that during the witch trials, this land that we're on now was Corwin land, belonging to the two most evil people involved in the witch trials that I just brought up. And so how do we know this is Corwin land? Well, their houses are two blocks away, and their bodies are across the street in the Broad Street Cemetery. And back in the day, like I said, it was more common to be buried on your property. So the cemetery across the street actually like butts up right onto Corwin land. So when they died, it made sense that they were just buried, like basically on the edge of their property.

• 14:40Speaker 02

  And it also makes sense that two rich people would kind of shake hands and be like, yeah, sure, you can purchase some of my property off of me.

• 14:45Speaker 01

  Yeah. I want to be very honest, the second you mentioned and said the Corwin were like the two evil people, or the evil people involved, I got lightheaded.

• 14:58Speaker 02

  Like it almost felt like instantly like a, don't talk about me that way.

• 15:01Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 15:02Speaker 02

  Sabrina's psychic abilities are starting to unlock.

• 15:04Kaelyn Moore?

  Really?

• 15:05Speaker 02

  It came out in her aura photo, too.

• 15:07Speaker 01

  I have been opening myself up a lot more. I don't like, I wouldn't say I'm a psychic at all, but like,

• 15:12Kaelyn Moore?

  Well, you don't know yet.

• 15:14Speaker 01

  That's true. I don't know.

• 15:16Kaelyn Moore?

  You could get your first download here.

• 15:17Speaker 01

  I'm gonna have my that's so Raven moment on this episode.

• 15:20Kaelyn Moore?

  Oh, my God, the vision. Is that something that you are in tune with?

• 15:27Speaker 01

  I mean, I've definitely, I feel like I've always picked up on energies and I have had experiences before. But ever since like moving here and living in my own haunted house, I've just been trying to connect a lot more.

• 15:43Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. What does that look like?

• 15:46Speaker 01

  Oracle cards. I have a pendulum that a listener sent us and I brought, I brought him. His name's Daniel. There's a spirit attached to it.

• 15:54Kaelyn Moore?

  The pendulum isn't Daniel, but the spirit attached to the pendulum is Daniel.

• 15:57Speaker 01

  And I brought him. We'll talk to him tonight. And then kind of just like a lot of connecting to my ancestors.

• 16:05Kaelyn Moore?

  Wow.

• 16:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:06Kaelyn Moore?

  That's really interesting. Okay. So, and you're getting a read on Corwin?

• 16:10Speaker 01

  Yeah. I like my, I've felt, I've felt lightheaded and like heavy. It's like, it, it's, this is weird for me. Like simultaneously, I feel like lightheaded and my energy is lifting, but then I feel heaviness on my shoulders.

• 16:27Kaelyn Moore?

  Interesting. That's so, that's kind of weird you say that because I felt that a little bit earlier today and I was actually wondering if I was having a migraine. Because it was like this weird, not out of body, but do you ever get like,

• 16:38Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:38Kaelyn Moore?

  I get weird migraines where I kind of feel like I'm outside my body, but like my limbs get heavy.

• 16:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 16:42Kaelyn Moore?

  So I was like worried that I was having a migraine. So it's actually kind of strange to hear you like bring up that.

• 16:46Speaker 01

  That's like an exact, yeah, that's exactly what I'm feeling.

• 16:49Kaelyn Moore?

  Whoa.

• 16:50Speaker 01

  And it's getting like worse and worse right now.

• 16:52Kaelyn Moore?

  And I made you go to, go to the grave. Did you feel anything when I brought you over to the?

• 16:55Speaker 01

  Feel anything in the grave?

• 16:56Kaelyn Moore?

  Huh.

• 16:58Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, when we weren't really talking about him.

• 16:59Speaker 02

  But I was really focusing on how to use that camera.

• 17:02Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. You're like, I have to get good photos or good images.

• 17:05Speaker 02

  And not falling into it.

• 17:06Kaelyn Moore?

  Pain's gonna be bad.

• 17:07Speaker 02

  Not falling in. Yeah.

• 17:08Kaelyn Moore?

  That's, okay, well, that's really interesting. Well, so it's interesting to note, if you need me to stop talking about them too, I will absolutely shut up.

• 17:15Speaker 02

  You can talk about them.

• 17:17Kaelyn Moore?

  I'll just like, you'll just see me like, I'm relaxing. You're like astral projecting outside your body because I brought it up so much.

• 17:26Kaelyn Moore?

  That'd be kind of cool to cat talk camera. Okay, I'll keep talking about it. So one of the Corwins, George, when he died, so he died when he was 30. And this was a few years after the trials. He was like 25 during the witch trials. He was the most hated man in Salem because it seems like the the public opinion on the witch trials really soured after they happened and people here were like pretty upset that that occurred in Salem.

• 17:52Speaker 02

  Yeah, which is so interesting too, because the witch trials kind of like trickled many decades after with certain people's beliefs and different hangings happening outside of Salem. But I'm glad that most people didn't agree with that.

• 18:08Kaelyn Moore?

  Maybe it was just like a counter movement that was upset, but there was enough people that were so mad at George Corwin that when he died, when he was 30, they thought that a mob was going to come steal his body and like rip it apart. So they hid him in the Joshua Ward house, which is right around the corner, in the basement for years. And then like under the cover of night, on a night just like this, they brought him across the street and they buried him with his uncle in that grave.

• 18:32Speaker 02

  I did not know that at the time.

• 18:34Kaelyn Moore?

  So that's also very spooky. And so I say all of that to say that the area that this house was built on has a very dark past. And that's why so many of the ghost stories we hear about, like this area in this house tend to be related to the witch trials. I'm guessing that that's why so many people have experiences in this house. It's potentially on a cursed ley line. It's surrounded on all sides by the bad guys from the witch trials, but that's on the outside, right? We don't have any evidence that anything from the witch trials happened in the house. The house itself was built 150 years after the witch trials, so it shouldn't really have any ties to it. You would think, but you would think wrong.

• 19:16Kaelyn Moore?

  Because even though this house was built in 1838, by 1842, it had exchanged hands and was sold to Ebenezer Putnam.

• 19:28Kaelyn Moore?

  And does the name Putnam ring any bells?

• 19:30Speaker 01

  Like Sarah Putnam?

• 19:32Kaelyn Moore?

  Anne Putnam. Anna Putnam. That's it. Yeah, Anne Putnam.

• 19:36Speaker 01

  I feel like there's a Sarah Putnam in Marblehead. Maybe that's what it is.

• 19:39Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 19:39Speaker 02

  Anne Putnam was one of the accused witches, right?

• 19:41Kaelyn Moore?

  Accusers.

• 19:43Speaker 02

  Oh, she was the accuser?

• 19:44Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. So outside of the Corwins, probably the most evil family involved in the witch trials were the Putnams. And they were a big family with a huge legacy in Salem. And they, I mean, were so prevalent that even in the 1830s and 1840s, like Ebenezer was buying this mansion in town because he had a lot of money. So people may recognize the name Anne Putnam because she was the 12-year-old girl that was one of the primary accusers in the Salem witch trials. She pointed her finger at 62 people and claimed that they were witches. And she accused 18 of the 20 people who were executed.

• 20:25Kaelyn Moore?

  She is the biggest reason that people.

• 20:27Speaker 01

  She's a sociopath.

• 20:28Kaelyn Moore?

  A sociopath. And it's funny because I actually have a note from my friend Megan, who helped me research this episode. And Megan goes, okay, okay, before we vilify this girl, keep in mind that she was 12 when she pointed fingers and sent a bunch of people to their deaths. She was rich and she was very privileged. But research also suggests that she was maybe being abused by her parents.

• 20:48Speaker 01

  Also, weren't they Puritan? And I feel like a lot of the things you hear about the Salem witch trials and when people try to theorize like what caused such hysteria is this idea of like the Puritan lifestyle was very,

• 21:02Speaker 01

  like for children, there was not much exploration and.

• 21:06Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, it was very cold.

• 21:07Speaker 01

  Yes, that's a good way to put it. Like, they didn't have any other outlets of where to channel that creative energy.

• 21:14Kaelyn Moore?

  And like imagination, maybe. That makes a lot of sense, actually. Because a lot of what they were experiencing was kind of like imagination. They were seeing, like Anne kept accusing women of being, like she would see people on their brooms at night, flying across the sky, like really classic witch stuff. Or she would see apparitions.

• 21:31Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:32Kaelyn Moore?

  And that was, for whatever reason, during the witch trials, like that was admissible in court, was like.

• 21:37Speaker 01

  Which is wild.

• 21:37Kaelyn Moore?

  Visions that you had of these people.

• 21:39Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:40Kaelyn Moore?

  And it led to, I cannot believe it's 18 of the 20 people. And Anne's father, Thomas Putnam, was one of the primary instigators of complaints against the alleged witches in Salem. For this reason, he's been identified by several key historians, including Paul Boyer and Stephen Eisenbaum, of being a chief agitator and manipulator of the testimonies of both his daughter and his wife, Anne Putnam, Sr. Evidence indicates that many of those who were afflicted or gave testimony against the accused witches were connected to the Putnam family, either by ties of kinship or faction. So everyone that was accusing people, even if it wasn't his own daughter, like, had ties to this family, which really makes them the most evil people.

• 22:25Speaker 01

  And most influential.

• 22:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, it makes me wonder what the motivator was. You know, like, what did his daughter get as a reward or some sort of security, maybe, that she kept on accusing? And like, what did other people?

• 22:39Kaelyn Moore?

  Or just to hear that your dad's proud of you? Like, I imagine if it was an abusive household, like, I could imagine she would do, like, anything for his praise, you know?

• 22:48Speaker 01

  And attention, like, the amount of attention that she got from it. And then it also triggered a bunch of other people to accuse. And then once someone else does, you kind of all just build on.

• 23:00Speaker 02

  And then you start to wonder, like, did I make that up? Or is this actually happening?

• 23:03Kaelyn Moore?

  Right.

• 23:03Speaker 01

  Right.

• 23:04Kaelyn Moore?

  And you start to get lost.

• 23:05Speaker 01

  You're not gonna say, like, oh, I made it up, and that's why all these people died. So you kind of, like, double down on it.

• 23:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, you try to convince yourself of what you said.

• 23:12Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, exactly. But that kind of got me thinking that if there were spirits around Salem that wanted to make sure nothing like the witch trials ever happened again, they would be keeping a close eye on both the Putnam's and the Corwin's, both of which have ties to this house.

• 23:26Speaker 01

  That's a cool, I like that as a, an idea.

• 23:29Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, like, this is, everyone's just kind of, like, keeping an eye to make sure, like, nothing's gonna happen again.

• 23:34Speaker 01

  No funny business.

• 23:35Kaelyn Moore?

  No funny business.

• 23:36Speaker 02

  No mass murders.

• 23:38Kaelyn Moore?

  No more, no more mass murders, guys. Please, for the love of God.

• 23:41Speaker 01

  Silly little humans.

• 23:43Kaelyn Moore?

  It's interesting to know Ebenezer also died in this house. So there's a chance that he's still here.

• 23:47Speaker 02

  Right in this spot.

• 23:48Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, on this couch.

• 23:50Speaker 02

  He felt the pressure on his shoulders, his head got a little light and he drifted off.

• 23:55Speaker 01

  This world.

• 23:55Kaelyn Moore?

  Never to wake again. He was like feeling something on his head.

• 23:58Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 23:59Kaelyn Moore?

  Unfortunately, a few of the people who lived in this house did die in this house, we found.

• 24:04Speaker 01

  Which was very normal for the time, you know.

• 24:06Kaelyn Moore?

  There weren't hospitals to go to.

• 24:08Speaker 02

  Right.

• 24:08Kaelyn Moore?

  You didn't go to the hospital, you just died at home.

• 24:10Speaker 02

  Born in their home and died in their home.

• 24:12Kaelyn Moore?

  Yes.

• 24:12Speaker 02

  Mm hmm. Birthing rooms exist all over the houses in this area.

• 24:16Kaelyn Moore?

  A birthing, like a whole room just for birthing.

• 24:18Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 24:18Speaker 01

  Mm hmm.

• 24:19Speaker 02

  Yeah. They were like usually these kind of small nooks off of the main living space or like off of one of the bedrooms. And different women and basically like doulas would come over and help deliver children into their home.

• 24:33Speaker 01

  Which also meant a lot of set because childbirth caused a lot of deaths at that time. Like either the child dying or the mother. There's probably so many deaths related to that.

• 24:43Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. I read that between five and 10% of women died in childbirth before like modern medicine.

• 24:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:51Kaelyn Moore?

  It was a lot. I know at one point they, if you were pregnant, they made you write a will. Like that's how common it was to die. So you had to get your affairs in order at like 21 years old.

• 25:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:02Kaelyn Moore?

  Before you had a kid.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 25:04Kaelyn Moore?

  Crazy.

• 25:05Speaker 01

  What affairs do you even have at 21?

• 25:07Speaker 02

  I guess back then, probably a lot.

• 25:09Kaelyn Moore?

  Own any money.

• 25:09Speaker 02

  You were probably married off at like 13 back then.

• 25:12Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, you're like, I guess I leave my husband everything because he just gets that anyway.

• 25:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, it doesn't even matter.

• 25:16Kaelyn Moore?

  Right. Yeah, none of this is mine. Okay, so I can run through, I'll just run through like a few other people who lived in this house. In case anything comes up tonight, we have some names top of mind. I like it. If we hear of anyone. So in 1899, the house was sold to the Pickering family, Sarah and Thomas. And they had three kids, Edith, Gertrude and Arthur. And then John Williams Downing lived in the residence with his wife Sarah and two children, Anna and Alice. Anna died in the house nine months later in September of 1845 of dysentery. And she was young when she died, unfortunately.

• 25:52Speaker 02

  Yeah. And then that kind of leads us up to where we are today, where Phil Marchand lives in, lived in this house growing up. He owns it now. He's the guy on the Airbnb that

• 26:03Speaker 01

  Yeah, he's great. He also is so open about his experiences.

• 26:07Speaker 02

  And it sounds like he's had a lot of, I mean, this can like, this is a very natural transition into the ghosty stuff going on in the house. But it sounds like Phil, ever since he, his family moved in, it's had like weird stuff going on.

• 26:20Speaker 01

  Yeah. And his mom opened a bed and breakfast here.

• 26:24Speaker 02

  Yeah. So originally his, it was his great aunt and uncle owned the home. And then his parents had purchased the home from his great aunt and uncle. And then when his parents divorced, he and his mom lived here and his sister lived here in this house. And then eventually they started like boarding people and then turned it into a bed and breakfast as like a means to be a single mom and raise a family. And so he grew up here for some time. And then he himself and his wife had their very first child in this house while living here.

• 26:57Speaker 01

  Oh, wow. Like in the house?

• 26:59Speaker 02

  Well, I don't think they delivered in the house, but like,

• 27:01Speaker 01

  You got me thinking about birth in rooms. I'm like, is there a nook and cranny we missed?

• 27:05Speaker 02

  Oh, my God. But yeah, they, they lived here. I think it's been in their family since the 1970s. Okay. So he's had, you know, 50 years of stories to share.

• 27:14Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 27:14Speaker 02

  And here.

• 27:16Speaker 01

  Yeah. I was actually going to read Phil's little message to me because I had messaged him on the Airbnb app, asking if he had had any paranormal stories. And he did share, he basically was like, I have so many stories. But basically, he said, I grew up in this house and have a lot of great memories here. I will say, I have always personally felt like the third floor is haunted. Growing up, I had a lot of crazy dreams about the third floor and always felt a supernatural presence up there. As far as guests go, I hear a lot of stories about hearing things or feeling a presence on the third floor, or something that was left in one place and then moved later. Luckily, no one has been too scared to stay there. And from most accounts, whatever spirit is there is not scary. Phil then said,

• 28:01Speaker 01

  personally, I love this so much because you're staying here.

• 28:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 28:04Kaelyn Moore?

  Phil said, me personally, I don't like to be bothered when I'm sleeping. So I'd always prefer to sleep on the second floor with a fan very close to my head in order to drown out any noise.

• 28:13Speaker 02

  Okay, great. Okay. I have my white noise machine, which is just an app on my phone.

• 28:18Kaelyn Moore?

  Exactly.

• 28:19Speaker 02

  I'll have that going.

• 28:20Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. So Phil's done a lot of interviews. So I found plenty of interviews where he discussed some of the paranormal. And then we kind of dove into some of the reviews of the Airbnb.

• 28:29Speaker 02

  Oh, my gosh.

• 28:30Kaelyn Moore?

  To find some more hauntings.

• 28:31Speaker 02

  There's also two notebooks over there that Caitlin and I found. And we were like, we should definitely, maybe over dinner, read.

• 28:39Kaelyn Moore?

  Read through them.

• 28:40Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah, definitely.

• 28:41Kaelyn Moore?

  See what other people have experienced.

• 28:43Speaker 02

  Yes. Okay, well, Phil, obviously, growing up here, has had a lot of experiences. Like he said, he had a lot of crazy dreams. But he would also hear footsteps and creaking in the middle of the night, which some people could argue, like, this is an old house, right? Like, this is a natural thing for these old floorboards to creak and shake and beams pop. But other people have seen stuff, ghostly stuff. So Phil has a lot of people backing him up.

• 29:09Kaelyn Moore?

  Wow.

• 29:09Speaker 02

  One of the experiences that he had was in high school when a friend of his, it was his best friend, was over. The house was empty and they heard someone walking upstairs. And so Phil's friend gets up and walks up to the second floor, which is where you're sleeping.

• 29:24Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 29:25Speaker 02

  And comes back down and says, oh, I think I just saw your sister. And Phil's like, my sister is not home.

• 29:33Kaelyn Moore?

  And that is basically the beginning of people starting to report, or not the beginning, but like, in this story. It's our first introduction to this woman, or really a younger, like, teenaged girl with dark hair.

• 29:47Speaker 02

  I was gonna say, do we know what she looks?

• 29:48Kaelyn Moore?

  She looks like you.

• 29:49Speaker 02

  Did you just hear singing?

• 29:50Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna play that part for you again. It was really clear in the room when it happened, but the three of us heard a woman's voice sing something, like a hum coming from deep inside the house. I ended up sending that clip to my sound designer and I asked if he knew what the sound was, but even he couldn't figure it out. He said the frequencies weren't Consistent with a car driving by or with a human voice. It was this kind of other third thing that he hadn't seen before. I'm going to play it three times. The first time will be what our mics picked up. The second will be what my phone that was recording picked up. And the third will be what my sound designer isolated. Check it out.

• 30:36Speaker 02

  A younger, like teenaged girl with dark hair.

• 30:39Speaker 01

  I was gonna say, do we know what she looks?

• 30:40Speaker 02

  She looks like you.

• 30:41Speaker 01

  Did you just hear singing?

• 30:43Speaker 02

  Or really a younger, like teenaged girl with dark hair. She looks like you. Did you just hear singing? Or really a younger, like teenaged girl with dark hair.

• 31:00Speaker 02

  Maybe, maybe a car outside? That sounded like singing.

• 31:05Kaelyn Moore?

  That was, yeah.

• 31:05Speaker 02

  It did, and it sounded like it was coming from over there.

• 31:07Speaker 01

  I heard it like this way, yeah.

• 31:08Kaelyn Moore?

  The opposite, yeah. The road is behind us.

• 31:12Speaker 02

  I'm curious.

• 31:12Kaelyn Moore?

  The depths of the house is in front of us.

• 31:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. Hello?

• 31:18Speaker 01

  And it was as we were talking about the girl.

• 31:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 31:23Speaker 02

  Okay, well, maybe she sings.

• 31:27Kaelyn Moore?

  And she's a teenager.

• 31:28Speaker 02

  She's a teenager.

• 31:29Kaelyn Moore?

  Okay.

• 31:30Speaker 02

  I'll keep that in mind.

• 31:33Speaker 01

  When it was previously a bed and breakfast, an employee had a dream about a spirit. And when she woke up, she swears that there was an imprint in the bed, like as if someone had just been there. Or maybe perhaps.

• 31:44Kaelyn Moore?

  It was still.

• 31:44Speaker 01

  Still sitting there. So the identity of this mysterious girl and woman is a mystery.

• 31:51Kaelyn Moore?

  Phil.

• 31:51Speaker 02

  Most likely a teenager, but yeah, I guess some people say woman, some people say teen.

• 31:55Speaker 01

  Right.

• 31:56Kaelyn Moore?

  Young, young lady.

• 31:57Speaker 01

  Young lady. Phil has tried to figure out the cause of the hauntings. And a historian helped get some of the details of previous owners, which is a lot of the stuff that you detailed.

• 32:06Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 32:06Speaker 01

  There are a few deaths, but nothing really stood out, but. It's Salem. And we've also talked a lot about on our podcast, like even if it wasn't Salem, it could be a brand new house and there could be hauntings.

• 32:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 32:20Speaker 01

  And maybe it has to do with people or like just the location. And also this house has now been turned into an Airbnb because I think it's easier and makes more money than a bed and breakfast. And I read online, like Phil has a house booked all, every October. It's fully booked. People are coming here for the haunted attractions and Salem.

• 32:39Speaker 02

  Look at us, we're trying to contact the dead here tonight. Like we are instigating and contributing to the energy of this home.

• 32:46Speaker 01

  We found a Ouija board. I thought of that. Yeah. When you said, I wonder if they closed the Ouija board correctly. It's like, yeah, who's coming in here and conjuring stuff up or summoning things and then just leaving because they don't know what to do with it.

• 32:58Speaker 02

  Like we're confident in our approach in terms of being really respectful because we learned how to investigate from two of the best investigators in the world.

• 33:07Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 33:09Speaker 02

  So, but what are other people doing?

• 33:12Speaker 01

  Right. Yeah. You don't know. Are people like, like hail Satan?

• 33:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 33:16Speaker 01

  I don't know.

• 33:17Speaker 02

  Or just like think it's a joke. And then like to your point, they get scared once things start happening and then they just, yeah.

• 33:23Speaker 01

  Yes. Yeah.

• 33:24Speaker 02

  They don't properly say goodbye.

• 33:26Speaker 01

  So we'll also, when we do our episode, we'll set intentions before we actually actively communicate with the spirits, because that is something I think is important when you do approach a conversation with the other side.

• 33:38Speaker 02

  Boundaries are always okay to set.

• 33:40Speaker 01

  Especially in real life.

• 33:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:43Speaker 01

  Not only.

• 33:43Speaker 02

  With the dead, but this is practice.

• 33:45Speaker 01

  You can do this with the living too. Yeah. I'm better at setting it with the dead.

• 33:49Speaker 02

  You're practicing.

• 33:50Speaker 01

  I'm practicing. But so most of these hauntings are like, people will feel things, see things move, objects moving on their own, and they'll see this little girl. There's full body apparitions, but

• 34:03Speaker 02

  Oh, wow.

• 34:04Speaker 01

  There's more.

• 34:05Speaker 02

  There is.

• 34:06Speaker 01

  Oh, wow.

• 34:07Speaker 02

  So I have no idea where, because it did not specify. But as we have noted, there are many bathrooms here and there's also many mirrors in many of the bedrooms. Apparently multiple people have seen someone appear behind them when they're looking in the mirror.

• 34:23Speaker 01

  That's my biggest fear.

• 34:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 34:26Speaker 01

  Do they describe who the person is at all?

• 34:27Speaker 02

  No, but I, it's, some people had said it was the teenage girl.

• 34:31Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 34:31Speaker 02

  But there were some that just said someone appeared.

• 34:33Speaker 01

  Oh, my gosh.

• 34:33Speaker 02

  And I don't know who and how many people could be showing up in this mirror, but.

• 34:40Speaker 01

  There's a mirror right there.

• 34:41Speaker 02

  I know.

• 34:41Speaker 01

  They're everywhere.

• 34:42Speaker 02

  Be careful.

• 34:43Speaker 01

  Looking in there.

• 34:43Speaker 02

  And there's windows everywhere, too. Like, there's so many reflective surfaces in this house.

• 34:47Speaker 01

  Yeah. The one on the third floor is the creepiest. And like, it looks down the long hallway and there's a mirror at the end of that hallway, which I noticed when you were looking for a light switch up there. It's like, right there. And I feel like that is the prime spot and location for you to see a, a fourth figure appear in the mirror with us.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  In my own home, I don't even look in the mirror at night. I keep my eyes down.

• 35:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, I know. It's freaky.

• 35:13Speaker 02

  It is. But one thing that's not super freaky here is there is a little boy and he seems to be pretty playful, someone who had some mediumship powers who, uh, stayed here. She believes that this little boy is the one who was causing all of the footsteps that Phil heard when he was young, living here. And I guess as an adult as well, because he would constantly hear someone running up and down and like, running around. And this woman who stayed here made contact with the little boy and the little boy was, like, I guess, displayed kind of what he would do to show his own presence. And that's exactly what a lot of people who stay here experience. So if you tonight hear some footsteps and walking and running around on the floor above you, don't be scared. It's just the little boy playing.

• 35:58Speaker 01

  That's who it is. Okay, that makes me feel a little bit better.

• 36:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:01Speaker 01

  I prefer that to whatever, there's like, the dark figure with red eyes, potentially Hat Man, Shadow Man, that's on the third floor.

• 36:09Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 36:10Speaker 01

  Cause that, I've heard whispers of this and that's the one I'm really.

• 36:13Speaker 02

  Terrifying.

• 36:14Speaker 01

  Not looking forward to. It does feel like that is like, not as common, hopefully.

• 36:19Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 36:20Speaker 01

  But there is a ghost cat.

• 36:22Speaker 02

  Oh, so we have some good haunting.

• 36:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 36:24Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 36:24Speaker 01

  There's some like, fun, nice ones.

• 36:26Speaker 02

  There's some positive.

• 36:27Speaker 01

  So, the Hat Man. There is a man in a hat with glowing red eyes that torments guests. And even Phil himself has confirmed that that is the most active floor and the floor that most people have scary encounters. Some people believe that the man in the hat is Giles Corey, who was killed during the witch trials.

• 36:49Speaker 02

  He was pressed to death.

• 36:50Speaker 01

  Oh. That's the famous one more.

• 36:52Speaker 02

  Stone.

• 36:53Kaelyn Moore?

  Yep.

• 36:53Speaker 01

  That what he said?

• 36:54Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 36:54Speaker 01

  Oh, he said that?

• 36:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, so he was the, I think he was the only one who was pressed by stone. Everyone else was hanged.

• 37:03Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:03Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah.

• 37:03Speaker 02

  Um, and he, they kept giving him an opportunity while placing another stone on top of him to basically declare himself guilty. And he just kept saying, one more stone. Like he would not give up his innocence.

• 37:16Speaker 01

  Days. It took days.

• 37:19Speaker 02

  It was like, yeah, he was in agony and very slowly died, slowly was pressed to death.

• 37:25Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 37:26Kaelyn Moore?

  Horrible.

• 37:26Speaker 02

  So if you go downtown Salem, you can walk through the witch memorial, which is just like this really short loop in there. There's almost like this stone or like granite bench that says every person's name on it. Um, and how they had died.

• 37:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 37:43Speaker 02

  So when you get to his, it says pressed to death.

• 37:45Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 37:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 37:46Speaker 01

  That's horrible.

• 37:47Kaelyn Moore?

  But they think, so they think it's Giles Corey that's upstairs. That's interesting because I, I had heard that someone who went on the third floor felt pressure in their chest. And they were thinking about Giles Corey.

• 37:57Speaker 01

  Oh, that's interesting.

• 37:59Kaelyn Moore?

  Yeah, it was actually, it was the, the ghost tour guide that I heard about the witches line from. He, when he's been to this house and when he went to the third floor, he felt like pressure on his chest. And that's why he felt like it was Giles Corey upstairs.

• 38:12Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, that could make sense. Well, and also because it causes sleep paralysis seeing this entity, which is it sleep paralysis or is it? If it is being like this, like residual energy of feeling what he felt.

• 38:25Kaelyn Moore?

  Hmm. That's making me nervous because I get sleep paralysis. And when I get sleep paralysis, it feels like I'm being crushed on my chest. I think tonight, as I stay here. I, I'm gonna look out for sleep paralysis. Like I, I'm very curious to see if I have sleep paralysis here. Cause I think that'll be saying something, especially if I see my sleep paralysis demon I called Gary. But if I see Gary.

• 38:47Speaker 01

  Gordy and Gary.

• 38:48Kaelyn Moore?

  Gordy and Gary. Um, that's not a good sign if Gary shows up.

• 38:51Speaker 01

  Geez.

• 38:52Kaelyn Moore?

  Usually it's like a spooky, like.

• 38:54Speaker 01

  I mean, sleep paralysis often is unsettling and spooky. Not that I've ever had it, but like you hear, every story you hear, it's like a weird creature. Watching you sleep or something in the corner of your room.

• 39:05Speaker 02

  Right.

• 39:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:07Speaker 02

  What's interesting about the hauntings here is we have kind of, from what people have shared online, we have kind of like a general idea of what is here. But no one has gone into extreme detail with what they have felt or like truly experienced.

• 39:21Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 39:21Speaker 02

  So I'm curious to hear and see, I guess, like what, what comes tonight? Because people have heard voices as well. So like seeing.

• 39:31Speaker 01

  I mean, we potentially heard singing.

• 39:33Speaker 02

  Someone singing. Yeah, apparently some people are being hushed by spirits. So maybe if we get a little too annoying or overbearing.

• 39:40Speaker 01

  Whoa.

• 39:40Speaker 02

  We might be.

• 39:42Speaker 01

  Okay. I will also acknowledge that truly that feeling has gone away. I no longer feel it and I didn't notice it until you started talking about the little girl. And like when you talked about the girl and people seeing her, I consciously was like, oh, that feeling is gone.

• 40:00Speaker 02

  Huh, huh. Whoa. Do you feel like it's because we stopped talking about the Corwins or because she's like a good?

• 40:08Speaker 01

  We're gonna find out.

• 40:08Speaker 02

  To be determined?

• 40:09Speaker 01

  Whoa, okay. So the full extent of what we're gonna do tonight is gonna be on your feed. I'm really excited. This made me a little bit more spooked though, to do it, but I'm really excited.

• 40:19Speaker 02

  I told you this, but usually we kind of try to go in a little bit blind because I like to not have anything predetermined or like sway my experience and like.

• 40:34Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 40:35Speaker 02

  Like, I don't want to be like, oh, this happened and it must be that because we learned about the history. Sometimes it's really cool of like not really know anything about it and have something happen and be like then learn about the history.

• 40:46Speaker 01

  Be like, oh, my gosh, that makes perfect sense. It's all connecting. So yeah, we try to get like, just like the bare bones usually.

• 40:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 40:53Speaker 01

  And it is really interesting because every time we've done an investigation.

• 40:56Speaker 02

  There are very specific spirits who have appeared that align with the history, but then also the homes themselves seem to have a bit of an energy and like become its own entity as well.

• 41:10Speaker 01

  Also, do we all have something we're bringing in here, you know, like energy that we've brought with us? Or, you know, if you were walking around a town like Salem today, did something come with you?

• 41:21Speaker 02

  And I've been in like every graveyard. So probably.

• 41:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, they're probably curious. They're like, what are you doing tonight? Let's go.

• 41:28Speaker 02

  Some new entertainment.

• 41:29Speaker 01

  Friends at that house.

• 41:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 41:30Speaker 01

  Stop by. Also, someone checked out right before we checked in. So who knows how long they were here, if they communicated with anyone, if they were the ones who used the Ouija board that's tucked away in a creepy cupboard.

• 41:41Speaker 02

  True. Yeah.

• 41:42Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 41:42Speaker 02

  Whoa. Okay. Well, let's get to it.

• 41:45Speaker 01

  Stay tuned.

• 41:46Speaker 02

  Stay tuned. Okay.

• 41:47Speaker 01

  Wish us luck.
