Encounters x355 - Premonitions, Paranormal Games and Hauntings

Halloween is only days away, so we’re embracing the paranormal chaos with a Haunted Kitchen Sink packed with some seriously creepy encounters. We’re reading stories about haunted objects, dark entities, spirits that refuse to leave, and experiences that make you question whether some games are really worth playing. Stories include: A haunted doll brings disturbing nightmares, dark energy, scratches, and an encounter with a little girl who follows the family wherever they go. A midnight game of hide-and-seek takes a sinister turn when a shadowy, black-eyed entity crawls out from beneath a hiding spot and grabs its victim by the ankles. A grieving family experiences a violent paranormal event on New Year's Eve that may have been connected to a recently deceased relative seeking justice. A tall black figure walks into a child's bedroom before seemingly appearing again as a man who climbs into bed and wraps his arms around her mother. A recurring dream warns a family about a mysterious man connected to a relative's death, leaving behind questions about what really happened. Watch the video version here.

  So sad.

• 2:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But don't you worry, the fate for the next couple of hours.

• 2:07Corinne Vien?

  Is scary.

• 2:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Grim. Should you hear a knock on your door, do not answer.

• 2:13Corinne Vien?

  This is Two Girls, One Ghost.

• 2:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Two girls, one ghost. We are your ghostesses. That is Corinne.

• 2:19Corinne Vien?

  Hello.

• 2:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm Sabrina. And step inside our tent today where we are going to read encounters that you have sent in to us. It's October. It's our favorite time of year. We're going scary. We're going spooky. And today, we have no theme, except for scary.

• 2:35Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, just a kitchen sink of weird and scary stuff.

• 2:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You go first this time.

• 2:40Corinne Vien?

  Okay.

• 2:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Delight us in the horrors.

• 2:43Corinne Vien?

  All right. I have an email about a haunted doll.

• 2:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, fantastic.

• 2:48Corinne Vien?

  Hi, my name is Fiona. I'm not gonna lie. I haven't listened to the show a whole bunch, but my friend is obsessed. And that is what we love. That is a pyramid scheme working because we're getting ghost stories out of it no matter what.

• 3:01Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yep.

• 3:01Corinne Vien?

  I have a friend named Asia who is coincidentally a friend now, but I did not know her when all of this started. I was only able to find out that all of this connected back to her when I told her this story.

• 3:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Whoa.

• 3:13Corinne Vien?

  But her dad, for whatever reason, had the hobby of going to flea markets and collecting dolls, especially ones that were very creepy and haunted.

• 3:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Delightful.

• 3:21Corinne Vien?

  Anyway, one day, he brings home a doll like normal, but after that day, my friend Asia starts having horrible nightmares. And the nightmares all involve this doll. She told me that the doll would come to life in her dreams, and it eventually got to the point where she felt like she had to get rid of this doll. So backstory for my family, my great-great-grandmother was known to be very spiritually inclined. I'm not sure if she was a medium or a clairvoyant or what, but she would communicate with the dead. Growing up, my mom was always very strict with us, told us never to communicate with any spirits, never try to use a Ouija board, because she believed that my grandmother communicating with spirits ultimately led her to committing a crime, abandoning her

• 4:03Corinne Vien?

  children, and then going to prison. We don't have much information on grandma's crimes.

• 4:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, I'm like, what's grandma doing?

• 4:09Corinne Vien?

  All of this to say, everyone, especially the women in my family, were very spiritually in tune and still are to this day. We often attract people who are pretty spiritually in tune as well.

• 4:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 4:21Corinne Vien?

  So now back to the main story. Me, Asia, my two sisters, and a family friend of mine named Ally, all went to the same school. We did not know Asia at the time. We were all in different grades. Anyway, we had this teacher in our school for acting class that was very open about the fact that he was into doing paranormal investigations as a hobby.

• 4:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Hell, yeah.

• 4:40Corinne Vien?

  Is that like the track, like theater to ghosts?

• 4:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It tracks with us.

• 4:47Corinne Vien?

  Because of this, when Asia needed to get rid of the doll, she thought to bring it to this teacher. She told him she thought it was haunted, and she didn't really know what to do with it, but she didn't want it anymore. He supposedly didn't take this warning seriously because he just put the doll out on his prop shelf for any kid to use during class. Now, enter my sister and our friend Ally. Ally is also very spiritually gifted and often communicates with spirits, which ultimately ended up being her downfall too. But they had this acting class, and my sister described to me that when she got into the class and she saw kids roughhouse playing with the doll, she instantly felt really afraid, and she felt like this doll had really dark energy. It did not like being used in that

• 5:31Corinne Vien?

  way. I can't remember exactly what happened, but she said the kids who were playing with the doll had broken it in some way. And I'm pretty sure its arm had been torn almost all the way off. And my sister, whose name is Sam, and Ally talked, and they both agreed about the energy that they felt from the doll and decided that they needed to intervene.

• 5:50Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wait, I love that.

• 5:52Corinne Vien?

  My sister Sam decided to bring the doll back to our family home to try and respect the doll by sewing the arm back up.

• 6:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So nice. Wait, that's so nice.

• 6:05Corinne Vien?

  She wanted to give it a safe space to stay. And I don't know all the details, as it's Sam's experience, but things progressively started getting worse and worse for all of us in the house.

• 6:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Ugh, tried to do something good.

• 6:17Corinne Vien?

  I know.

• 6:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And the spirit's like, hey, I see you, and I'm gonna haunt you.

• 6:22Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. Joke's on you. I was just looking for a home. Sam says that she had nightmares almost nightly where the doll would appear, similar to what Asia had experienced. And my other sister, Ann, told me that every night she would wake up and see this dark image standing in her doorway. Sometimes she would dream about it and see it in her sleep, but sometimes she was awake. And she told me that no matter what she did, whether she closed her door or locked her door, her door would be open in the morning. Now, this is where I can get into more details, as this part is my experience. I, for the longest time, felt an energy in the house, and I was honestly struggling to identify if this was a dark energy or if it was safe, which usually is not something I struggle with discerning. Over time, the energy got more and more intense to the point that I just could not

• 7:07Corinne Vien?

  ignore it. My friend Ally had moved into our house during this time and was also experiencing things, but little did we know that she had been leaning into it a little too hard. Anyway, I have this vivid memory of sitting in my living room one night watching a show, and I felt an almost nauseating presence of something to the left of the TV. And I saw a very detailed image of a little girl in my head. She was probably around 12 or 13 years old, maybe about five feet, long dark hair, strong brows, a long dress, et cetera. And this is important because I told no one what I saw. I never gave anyone in my home a description, but I pictured that girl in the corner for months, and that is where she seemed to stay. I would

• 7:52Corinne Vien?

  be overly respectful, but at night, I would speak out and tell her that she was not allowed to cross the doorway into my room or mess with me in any way.

• 8:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's still very respectful. That is setting a boundary.

• 8:02Corinne Vien?

  I did this because previously I was waking up with scratches and open doors, just like my sister Ann. Nope. So like I said, this energy gets strong to a point that I can no longer ignore this. I eventually say to my friend Ally, I can feel a weird energy in the living room. Not joking, this is what she says back. Oh, yeah, the little girl in the corner? Uh, she then rattles off an almost identical description to what I have been seeing. And then she says, don't worry, that's my friend. The thought of this makes me instantly sick because of what I know about Ally and how much she's been communicating and opening herself up to spirits. But at the time, I really did respect her, and I thought that maybe she knew something that I didn't about this spirituality and energy

• 8:46Corinne Vien?

  and whatnot. So I stopped being as cautious. I stopped saying it can't mess with me. And one night, when I'm home alone, I'm in the kitchen, which is attached to our living room, and all of my pets start losing it. They're barking, they're hissing, they're growling, all in the direction of my couch. And I instantly get terrified. I assume, based on their reaction, that someone or something, maybe an animal, is under the couch. So I grab a knife from the knife block, and I walk into the living room to check under my couch. And as soon as I went to look under the couch, I hear click, click, click. I stood up, I whipped my head around, and I saw six flames on the stove had all been turned on.

• 9:27Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh.

• 9:28Corinne Vien?

  The knobs were not turned, though, but the flames all ignited.

• 9:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's so dangerous and so scary.

• 9:36Corinne Vien?

  I instantly started shouting out that the spirit needed to leave me, leave my home, my home was protected, and that I was not afraid. I couldn't be made to be afraid.

• 9:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Good on you.

• 9:48Corinne Vien?

  Even though I have like goosebumps all over my body. After then, I started to be extremely cautious, and I had less experiences like that. For my sister, it sounds like things did kind of seem to progress, basically until it got to this extremely bad point as well, because my sister Sam ended up bringing the doll back to school where she found it. But before doing that, she has a friend, whose mother was a medium, come over to the house to see if she could tell us anything about the doll. And when she did the reading, all her friend said was that she saw fire. Years later, the school that Sam took the doll back to burned down. We don't know if the doll was in there or if some other person took it home before the building burned down, but I personally

• 10:32Corinne Vien?

  have a theory that whatever spirit or demon or something is attached to that doll, attached itself to our friend Ally. Because unfortunately, wherever she went, that dark energy seemed to follow.

• 10:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, it sounds like Ally was also dabbling in a lot.

• 10:48Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. Ally's no longer in our lives, but I can say that this experience convinced me, and then they put like 100%, but with a million other zeros, the ghosts are real. And I'm not sure, but I'm almost certain that that doll had a demon attached to it.

• 11:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Damn.

• 11:07Corinne Vien?

  Yep. This is from Fiona.

• 11:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, um.

• 11:11Corinne Vien?

  Two truths and a lie. This is our October theme for these.

• 11:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's pretty terrifying.

• 11:16Corinne Vien?

  Burned down my high school.

• 11:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Thank God it didn't burn down your house, because it seems like it was trying to.

• 11:23Corinne Vien?

  The fact that it can conjure the fire without actually manipulating the tool to create the fire.

• 11:28Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Anything when a spirit causes fire, I think is demonic.

• 11:33Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, well, because it feels like there's intent to harm and kill.

• 11:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And it sounds like there was. Well, I'm glad my haunted dolls aren't doing shit like that. I've had very little experiences with my haunted objects from last October. I have one about a paranormal game, and it is from our listener Nyxora. I don't know how to say it.

• 11:54Corinne Vien?

  Whoa.

• 11:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  N-Y-X-O-R-A. Nyora? I don't know if you pronounce the X. I'll call you Ny.

• 12:01Corinne Vien?

  Ny.

• 12:01Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Ny. I just finished watching your... Nini?

• 12:05Corinne Vien?

  Sorry.

• 12:05Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I don't know where that one came from. Nini?

• 12:08Corinne Vien?

  Well, because you're pronouncing it Ny, but what if it's Nia?

• 12:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Nyora?

• 12:13Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, let's do a pronunciation.com. How do you spell it again?

• 12:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  N-Y-X-O-R-A.

• 12:19Corinne Vien?

  Pronunciation. Nyxora.

• 12:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Nyxora. Okay, Nyxora.

• 12:23Corinne Vien?

  Or Nyx.

• 12:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, I like Nyx.

• 12:25Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 12:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, Nyxora. I just finished watching your podcast episode on true ghost stories and paranormal games, when I got the urge to tell you three of my own. Before I start, I feel it's important to let you know that this is an alias account. I will be changing all other names and using descriptions of locations.

• 12:43Corinne Vien?

  So is your name not Nyx?

• 12:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I guess not.

• 12:45Corinne Vien?

  If not, you chose a really cool...

• 12:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's a very cool name. Well, then we can call you whatever we want. Nini.

• 12:51Corinne Vien?

  Nini.

• 12:52Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I do feel comfortable letting you know that I'm currently a 26-year-old female working a blue-collar job, practicing a craft of my own. These are the stories of ghostly games I played, mostly throughout my younger years, that have really stuck out to me. The first one. Around 5th grade, I attended a school that felt pretentious, as the mayor's daughter also attended the school at the time.

• 13:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  My mother was working, my sister Tia was in high school, and my grandparents could no longer drive. So I was stuck in the after-school program with a bunch of younger students, until my mom could pick me up. I've always been the biggest kid in school, 5'11", 250 pounds at the time. And everyone there loved having me around, because I could pick the kids up, toss them, help them on the monkey bars, help them up if they fell, and even help the teachers in gathering everyone inside when we needed to go back in. Teacher's pet. The helper.

• 13:44Corinne Vien?

  It's reminding me of like, one scenario that happened in our high school, where like, there was one kid that was being pretty unruly. And one of the larger football players just came up and bear hugged him from behind and was like, dude, you gotta calm down, and walked him to the front and outside and dropped him there.

• 14:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's the equivalent of picking a kitten up from the scruff.

• 14:03Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, like, we're done here.

• 14:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We're done here.

• 14:04Corinne Vien?

  We're not causing a scene.

• 14:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  One day, I was irritable and anxious, wanting to stay away from everyone, and the only place I could get solace was the restroom. The older kids said they got weird feelings from this bathroom, and the younger kids said it was haunted. And yeah, I got an uncomfortable feeling in there too, but I needed a getaway. So I snuck into the bathroom during playtime, and I sat under one of the sinks. There was a cubed glass wall to my right, and then there was an entry hall, and then three stalls on the other side of that hall. All three of them were handicap stalls. Across from that were five regular stalls. Where I was sitting, there were three exposed sinks. There was one across from me, so I could see myself in that mirror. And then there were three oval mirrors above me.

• 14:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The door opened, and three little girls scuttled in, and thinking they were just going to the restroom, I ignored them. But they made a beeline for me. Nyxora, are you hiding? I chuckled and nodded. The little girl Zoe's blond curls bouncing as she hopped from foot to foot. A smaller girl with dark curly hair Natalie pulled my hand, saying, "I don't want to be in here." The other little girl, who had thick, straight, dark hair, Myra, usually who stayed to herself, spoke up and said, "Is it because you're scared?" "Of what?" Natalie asked back. "Bloody Mary." "It's so scary," Zoe said as I stood up. I chuckled and shook my head. I don't even know how to play that I lied. Myra pursed her lips, and before I could fully stand up, she tugged my hand too.

• 15:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I followed her to the sinks. She turned both on, and told us to stare at the mirror. Wanting to amuse the child, I did. All over my shoulder, I saw Zoe smiling. She turned all the other sinks on too. Now we say Bloody Mary three times in a row. We spin in a circle each time we say it. When you stop, watch your eyes. I've never heard the spin in three circles.

• 15:54Corinne Vien?

  No, me neither. But this is kind of fun to get to see like, the rite of passage moment for some of the younger kids.

• 16:01Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But they're telling her to do it. She's doing it with the younger kids.

• 16:05Corinne Vien?

  Pretending that she doesn't know how to do it. Like, has she ever played it before? At least she knew what it was.

• 16:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  A creeping sensation crawled up my spine. We did the spins. We caught up Bloody Mary. We stopped and stared into the mirror. I focused on my eyes, blinking, when my face contorted. Which this happens every time I stare into my eyes reflections for too long, but after a third blink, I heard a stall open. And this stall always gave me a bad feeling. It's almost nauseating. Anyway, that particular stall door always creaked open, and it groaned when closed. So when I heard that telltale creak, not followed by a groan, I almost wet myself. I was alone before the kids come, and I could see under the stalls from where I had been sitting under the sink, no one was there. No one else was in the bathroom.

• 16:52Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I froze. The girls were talking and giggling to each other, but I felt locked in place. I watched the girls, who were more slightly nudging each other, soon make their way out, completely ignoring my frozen stupor. My eyes locked in on my reflection again, and then I saw her, another girl. She was about my height, completely soaked, dripping with water. She was wearing a plaid pinafore school uniform, had long brown hair covering her face completely.

• 17:19Corinne Vien?

  Oh my gosh. This wasn't the Bloody Mary you thought you were conjuring?

• 17:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  No, it's like Moaning Myrtle.

• 17:24Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 17:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  She tilted her head to the side, partly showing half of her bloated face and a single, solid, white eye. I felt my pulse in my hands as I clenched them into my fists at my side. She seemed to realize I could see her, and there was a look of recognition on her face. Then I blinked, and suddenly she was right behind me. Her cold, wet, bloated, and clammy hands touched my face from behind. I screamed, and when I did, she disappeared.

• 17:55Corinne Vien?

  To be touched, like, for your face to be touched too, just like, oh, the reach around.

• 18:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Reaching around.

• 18:01Corinne Vien?

  The reach around.

• 18:01Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And their wet hands. I screamed and she disappeared.

• 18:04Corinne Vien?

  Nyx is so tall too, so it's like, she's probably not used to being grabbed like that.

• 18:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The head of the school program quickly came inside when I screamed, shut off all the sinks and comforted me, and then led me from the restroom.

• 18:17Corinne Vien?

  All because these little kids are like, "Play the game with us, play it."

• 18:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's when it happens, when you think you're just doing it playfully, like, oh, nothing's gonna happen. And then all of a sudden, a little wet, soaking, dripping wet girl grabs your face.

• 18:28Corinne Vien?

  Oh my god.

• 18:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 18:30Corinne Vien?

  Ooh.

• 18:31Sabrina Deana-Roga?

I feel like someone was listening to my conversations about how I wanted to find a place that does resale and has all my favorite brands and like, luxury brands, but also you can sell on and buy on. And then The RealReal came into my life, and I was like, "Where have you been my whole life? I am obsessed with you." No one does resale like The RealReal. They drop over 10,000 new arrivals every day

• 21:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Second story, another time I played Bloody Mary. This time, it was a prank on me. So I was younger this time than the previous story. So I was probably like five or six this time.

• 22:13Corinne Vien?

  So you already had a Bloody Mary experience and then pretended you didn't.

• 22:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Had this experience.

• 22:19Corinne Vien?

  And then had the dripping wet schoolgirl.

• 22:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes.

• 22:22Corinne Vien?

  Grab your face.

• 22:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  In a bathroom that everyone agrees is weird and haunted and not good vibes. Okay, so I was five or six. I was small enough to fit in the dryer during hide and seek before this incident.

• 22:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  My sister, Tia, was spending the night at her friend Sierra's house. Our moms were friends, so I was able to tag along. Tia was about 10 or 11 at the time and her friend was the same age. We recently had dinner and our moms planned to go out for a few hours. So us girls watched TV for a little bit before heading upstairs. The two older girls, Tia and Sierra, went to the guest room where there was a desk, bunk beds, a side table, and a mirror closet full of clothes. I was in her friend's room. And to get me to leave them alone, Sierra pulled out two giant buckets full of Bratz dolls, which were my thing at the time, and told me I could have them if I left them alone.

• 23:11Corinne Vien?

  Oh.

• 23:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Sounds like my sister.

• 23:13Corinne Vien?

  The bribes. It sounds like us with poor Noah.

• 23:16Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I know. Here's a little skeleton.

• 23:18Corinne Vien?

  He gets a skull tax.

• 23:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  He does.

• 23:20Corinne Vien?

  Noah will not leave the office when we're getting ready to record unless we offer him a skull.

• 23:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Something spooky.

• 23:27Corinne Vien?

  Or a skeleton or something horrifying. And then he takes it and walks out.

• 23:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And he has a basket of skulls because of this.

• 23:35Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, and he starts stealing the bags so we have more tax to give him, more payment.

• 23:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I was so excited about these Bratz dolls and I pinky promised to leave them alone. Maybe an hour later, I had to go to the bathroom. So I quietly opened the door and ran to the bathroom, flipped on the light, shut the door, and used the step stool to get on the toilet. I was about to get off when the door opened. Tia and Sierra came in giggling to each other. They turned off the lights and began lighting candles. I couldn't help but cry because I hated the dark. I still, to this day, hate the dark. And I asked them what they were doing. And they said, playing Bloody Mary, duh. Which is also so sad. She's like, trying to finish going to the bathroom and they're like, lights off, lighting candles, trying to be terrifying. Sierra was kind of always mean to me.

• 24:16Corinne Vien?

  If you had any trouble going to the bathroom before, that's a good way to let it all come out.

• 24:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Or make it worse.

• 24:22Corinne Vien?

  Get a little scared.

• 24:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What we say cleanse your colon with two girls with ghosts.

• 24:26Corinne Vien?

  You got poop problems? Listen to two girls with ghosts.

• 24:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Haunted ghost stories. So Sierra was kind of mean to me and Tia hardly ever did anything to help. I was getting off the toilet when all of a sudden Sierra and Tia began chanting. They were saying her name, spinning in circles. And when they were done, they pushed me down to the floor, ran out of the bathroom, shut the door, and held it closed so I couldn't leave.

• 24:51Corinne Vien?

  That is so cruel.

• 24:52Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So mean. I say that, but my sister literally tied me to her bed when she invited me to play with her and then left me tied to her bed.

• 24:59Corinne Vien?

  The trauma.

• 25:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I screamed.

• 25:01Corinne Vien?

  It is hard being the middle child, I'm sorry.

• 25:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's okay. Built character. I screamed, I tried to open the door, slamming my body into it, trying. But then I stopped because I heard crying from within the bathroom with me.

• 25:14Corinne Vien?

  Oh no.

• 25:16Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  This crying was coming from the bathtub behind the curtain. I sat against the door trembling when the crying changed direction. This time, it was coming from the sink, the mirror. I slowly looked up and saw the mirror fogging over. And then I heard banging, hollow banging like hitting glass with your fists. My eyes landed on the frame of the mirror, watching it rattle before daring to look back to the mirror. It no longer was reflecting images from the bathroom, but images of what looked like an empty room. And before I could get a better look, I saw two hands slam against the mirror.

• 25:52Corinne Vien?

  Oh my god.

• 25:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I screamed, I grabbed the doorknob, taking it with all my might, and Sierra and Tia finally let me out. And when I came out, they stared at me in disbelief. I pushed past them, ran downstairs, curled up on the couch, and cried. Not too far behind me, Sierra and Tia came, their faces pale and frozen because they too saw the hands on the mirror. We stayed glued to the couch until our moms came back and took us home. And Sierra begged her mom to sleep with her in her room. Yeah, Sierra, that's, you should have to do that. Okay, my third story. It's not necessarily a paranormal game, but it was a game I was playing with my family and happened to encounter a paranormal entity. I lived with my grandparents in my family home back in 2017. It was the summer before my last year of high school and had come in full force.

• 26:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The window A C was on full blast, the day was ending later than normal, and the heat was boiling us alive in our downtown home in a small town in Texas. My grandparents' house was extremely haunted on its own, and then me, as a person, was even more haunted. So fast forward, we're playing a game. My cousins would come over every weekend to drink, party, burn miscellaneous things in the comfort of a home no one had to leave at the end of the night. And since summer started, my cousins practically spent every night at the house. This night, we decided to play hide and seek at midnight, which is a paranormal game. Like, there literally is a game called like The Midnight Game. And it's essentially hide and seek.

• 27:16Corinne Vien?

  Well, part, the bathtub part was reminding me of Hanukkah San, which is another, the bathtub game is another paranormal game.

• 27:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 27:22Corinne Vien?

  There's so many games you can play, all horrifying.

• 27:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So we started with laughs and shouts, remembering our last game where my eldest cousin fell off the shed roof. Jeez, his girlfriend had to call an ambulance because he landed on the clothesline, snapped and split his forehead open.

• 27:38Corinne Vien?

  Dude, I'm glad that the clothesline didn't do more damage, like freaking decapitated.

• 27:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So anyway, we're laughing about the last time we played and we decided this time we should use flashlights. So I watched everyone move to their hiding spots, leaving one for me. The two-tiered storage building my grandfather built stood on three cement blocks in 12 spots underneath. I shimmied under there, under these blocks, getting covered in dirt and dust, ignoring the possibility of snakes, spiders, and bugs. I clicked off my light, I rested quietly, controlling my breathing the best I could. Once my eyes adjusted, I could see every angle in front, but nothing behind me. I watched my cousin David, the one who was the seeker, walk around, finding everyone one by one. They gathered by the merry-go-round, talking loudly about who was left. It was my little brother, my cousin's best friend, and I.

• 28:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I saw my little brother climb onto the lowest roof of the house, and I saw my cousin's best friend crawling under the band shed. This backyard has everything.

• 28:38Corinne Vien?

  I know.

• 28:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  A merry-go-round, a shed, clothesline, and then whatever this is, a storage building. Before they could give up, my little brother slipped and they all were able to find him. But as they crowded him to get down, I heard shuffling behind me. Fear took over all of my senses, freezing me still, my ears going silent, almost ringing. I clutched the dirt slowly, trying to ground myself, wondering why I was suddenly so scared when I was just playing a game with my friends and family. It's just a game. It's probably one of them finding me. I looked around and I couldn't see anyone, but then I started hearing whispering. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but just rapid, hushed whispers. And then I felt pressure on my ankles. I was suddenly yanked by my ankles.

• 29:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I held my breath, still not wanting to give my spot away, but I slowly turned over to see what was pulling me because it did not feel human. Its grip was cold and ruthless. Its whispers kept going, never stopping to take a breath. I will never forget what I saw. When I rolled over, the floor of the shed was about an inch above my forehead. I lifted my head, but this thing was able to crawl up my body.

• 29:48Corinne Vien?

  Oh, a crawler.

• 29:50Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Its hands gripped my thighs as its body hovered over my knees. Its body, pure black, angles and wisps of shadows. Its face was inky black with bright white holes for eyes. Its mouth was a gaping maw, similar to a dog's, as it dripped a black substance over me.

• 30:10Corinne Vien?

  Oh, hell no.

• 30:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I heard my name being called sharply and a flashlight flashed over me. I jumped and the figure was gone. I scrambled out of my hiding spot, crying and hyperventilating, and my cousin stopped the game to listen to what I said. Needless to say, no one ever hid under that in any games moving forward. Thank you so much for reading my collection of events that shaped my life and beliefs. Your dark darling, Nick Sora.

• 30:35Corinne Vien?

  Wow. Well, Nick, holy shit, a lot of people experienced really terrifying things, but Nick's especially.

• 30:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Sounds like you don't need to play paranormal games. It sounds like they're just gonna find you no matter what.

• 30:47Corinne Vien?

  Also, you played a lot. I feel like you played more than I ever have.

• 30:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And these are just the ones that were the most haunting. Apparently, this was a common theme.

• 30:56Corinne Vien?

  This is the go-to entertainment. Do you need that entertainment? Like, you have a merry-go-round, you've got so much going on.

• 31:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You know, so is the curiosity of what's on the other side.

• 31:06Corinne Vien?

  I'm curious because Nick didn't give the description of like, besides the dripping black liquid, like, did it stay on them? What did it feel like? Was it thick and like honey-like? Did it have an odor? Did you taste it? Did it get in your mouth?

• 31:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love that that's where you want to go with that.

• 31:23Corinne Vien?

  I need to know more about the liquids because it's so disturbing. Like, that is a horror movie scene.

• 31:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes. So, so was the wet hand grabbing her face.

• 31:32Corinne Vien?

  Oh.

• 31:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Horrifying. My favorite stories.

• 31:38Corinne Vien?

  Okay, this is called My Grandma Unalived, The Murderer Of Her Son In The Afterlife.

• 31:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, go off.

• 31:46Corinne Vien?

  Go off. And this is from, they're gonna go by their internet name, Spooky.

• 31:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Love it. Hi, Spooky.

• 31:53Corinne Vien?

  Hi, Spooky. This story starts when my uncle, my mom's younger brother, was shot and killed as he was driving home on the highway in Houston, Texas.

• 32:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh my god.

• 32:03Corinne Vien?

  My uncle was young, he was in his late twenties. But it's hard getting many specific details from my mom because it's really hard for her to talk about him.

• 32:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm so sorry. Sorry, that's horrible.

• 32:15Corinne Vien?

  I know, terrifying. The Christmas after his passing, my family traveled to Houston to spend the holidays with my grandma and grandpa. And just a little side note, we have a massive family. They're all over the place. As my mom, along with the majority of her siblings and other family members, were displaced during the Nicaraguan Civil War in the eighties. Most of my family went to the States while my mom came to Canada, where I was born. So we go to Houston for Christmas, and of course, my family is in mourning. I must have been about six years old at the time, so this was a really sad trip. A lot of crying, a lot of supporting my grandma at the time. For New Year's, we had a neighbor invite us to their big New Year's party, and it was this big Latino party, so

• 32:59Corinne Vien?

  you best believe the music was blasting and people were dancing and laughter consumed the space. It was too much for my grandma, who was still grieving the death of her son just months before. So my mom, my aunt, my grandma and myself all ended up walking back to the house to spend a quieter New Year's together. My grandpa was already back at the house. He never even attempted to join the party. But my brother, on the other hand, decided to stay at the party, which was not a big deal. As we were all readying for the ball to drop, my mom decides to open a champagne bottle and cheers to the new year. I was in the kitchen coloring and drawing on the dining room table. The kitchen had one of those old school open bar type walls that viewed into the living room.

• 33:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love, I had one of those too.

• 33:44Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, so cool. And I could see that the women were watching the New Year's Eve show. And as the countdown starts, six, five, four, all the girls start cheering, salud para Alan. Two, one, they cheered and it was almost like at the same exact second that their glasses hit one another. Every single cupboard and drawer in that kitchen aggressively flew open. Dishes, pots and pans, everything started flying out of them. And I, being in the kitchen, just remember the sound. It was so quick that my brain couldn't even process what was happening in front of me. My ears started ringing and then came the silence that overcame me. I've never really been able to describe it, but it was like every thought just left my brain and there was nothingness.

• 34:28Corinne Vien?

  As this was happening, I see my grandpa start running towards me, pick me up from the chair, all while still running out of the kitchen towards the back door that was behind me. We ran out to the front of the house where my mom, my aunt, my grandma were coming out of the front door, all three screaming and crying.

• 34:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, I mean, how intense.

• 34:48Corinne Vien?

  My brother across the street at the neighbor's party noticed, so now he's coming. And my mom is screaming, S. Allen, S. Allen. She's pointing to the house and my brother goes in. He comes out a minute later and comes straight to me. My grandpa's holding me. I'm distraught. However, it was not from fear of what just happened. It was actually seeing the three women in my family in the state that they were in.

• 35:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, sometimes seeing other people have such intense emotions is like the toughest part.

• 35:17Corinne Vien?

  That's scary, yeah. He grabs me and says, Gorda, that was an earthquake, okay? We just had an earthquake, but it's over now. And I'm little, so I believe him. And me and the matriarchs of the family, we stay outside as a few friends come over and help clean up the kitchen. I can hear everyone whispering, pretty much praying and talking about ghosts and spirits, but I let it go. The trip ends, we go home, we don't talk about what happened that night. The next summer, we go back to Houston. I don't know what inclines me, but I asked my grandma about that night. Something just didn't really sit right with me.

• 35:52Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Uh, how about everything didn't sit right with you? Yeah.

• 35:55Corinne Vien?

  She tells me that she knows my mom wants to protect me, but that I should know the truth. She told me that it was my uncle, that he was unsettled in the afterlife because he was too young. He had too much to live for and he resented dying before his time.

• 36:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That makes me really sad. I wanted to view it as like he was cheersing with them.

• 36:13Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 36:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  At the New Year's.

• 36:15Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, like woo-hoo, burst of energy.

• 36:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 36:18Corinne Vien?

  It made sense for some reason, and I try to think back on it now, and I was a kid, but like, why did that make sense? But at the time, it just did. That was the reason for what happened that night. Days later, we're driving in the suburbs and we stop at a stop sign. My grandpa was driving, my mom was in the front seat, and I was in the back with my grandma. Within a second, I felt the energy in the car shift. I could tell my grandma became extremely uncomfortable, so I tried to comfort her by reaching out and touching her with my hand. But as soon as I slightly grazed her skin, she quickly grabs my wrist and pulls me in. Shaking uncontrollably, she points to a random house and says, en esa casa viva el que mató mi hijo. In that house lives the man who killed my son.

• 37:02Corinne Vien?

  The energy was thick. I knew that she was tuning into something.

• 37:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh my god.

• 37:07Corinne Vien?

  My mom grabs her hand, takes it off of my arm. She gets upset. Stop, mom, she says, you're scaring la niña. But the truth was, she wasn't scaring me. I knew that she knew the truth.

• 37:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Damn.

• 39:29Corinne Vien?

  So fast forward a couple of years, my grandma takes a trip back home to Nicaragua. Side note, we ended up burying my uncle there. Her sister recalls that during that time of one of the visits to my uncle's gravesite, my grandma kept saying, I'll see you soon, mi hijo, I'm coming home. Even though her sister didn't like her verbiage there, she kept asking her to stop saying that.

• 39:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 39:47Corinne Vien?

  But she would continue until they left the gravesite. Her sister recalls that that night, my grandma got up in the middle of the night, made herself a really big breakfast of beans and eggs, queso frito, avocado, bread and coffee.

• 40:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wow, you're making me hungry.

• 40:01Corinne Vien?

  I'm hungry now too. Her sister gets up angry, what are you doing up? Why are you making breakfast? Go back to bed. But eventually she just gave up and

• 40:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Let her do her thing?

• 40:10Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, and joined her. She says they talked and talked and reminisced on childhood. They kissed each other goodnight. They went to their rooms, went back to sleep. But grandma did not wake up in the morning. She passed away peacefully in her sleep.

• 40:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm, that is so sad, and I can't imagine waking up to find your mother like that, but how beautiful of like a last memory you shared with her.

• 40:34Corinne Vien?

  It's like she knew that she was going to go.

• 40:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, she for sure knew.

• 40:37Corinne Vien?

  And like had to make this moment for them. Now here's where it all connects again. So fast forward another year, my mom gets a phone call from that same neighbor in Houston. As my mom's on the call, I can see her face drop. Her eyes are watering, tears start rolling down her cheeks, so I knew this call was bad. She hangs up and I asked her what happened, and she tells me that the house that my grandma was obsessed with, the one that she claims had the killer of her son burnt to the ground with absolutely nothing left, only ashes. The only person in the house was the man that my grandma believed shot my uncle. And that man died a horrible death. Apparently he lived with his whole family, but they were on a trip when the fire happened.

• 41:21Corinne Vien?

  He was the only one who stayed back at the house. As my mom is telling me, I can tell that she's starting to disassociate, and in that moment, she says, it was mamita and Alan, they burnt his house down together. Here's the final kicker. It was on the anniversary of my uncle's death.

• 41:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh my gosh.

• 41:43Corinne Vien?

  Hundreds of stories with my grandma, as I know she was extremely psychic. She was brujita as fuck, but she, she would predict events. She had an herb garden where she would make teas and concoctions. And I believe it was some sort of hoodooism that she practiced.

• 41:59Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Interesting.

• 41:59Corinne Vien?

  My mom was also extremely connected to the spiritual as well, but she repressed and denied a lot because she identified as being Christian. I myself have my own set of experiences. My uncle, the one from the main story, was the first death that I ever remember being within the family. It was also the first time that I had one of my dreams. In short, the night that my uncle died, I had a dream with him. I was in an open field surrounded by complete forest, and from the tree line, I see my uncle walk towards the field. I run to him. We immediately start playing. We're running around the field. We're playing tag. We're racing to the edge. We dance, we laugh. It was beautiful.

• 42:40Corinne Vien?

  And there was a moment where he picks a small daisy from the field. He puts it in my hair and he says, take care of my sister, tell her I love her. In that moment, I then feel this tug, a force, taking me back out of the field. As I'm being consumed by this black hole, all in an instant, I wake up in pure panic, screaming and crying. And my mom comes in, she consoles me, asking me what I was dreaming about. And I'm confused because my dream is beautiful, so why am I full of fear after waking up? I tell her my dream and she lays down with me until I fall asleep. The next morning is when my mom received the call that my uncle had died.

• 43:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I mean, that's why you were screaming because you didn't like know your uncle was dead.

• 43:19Corinne Vien?

  From that point on, I had dreams about every single maternal family member that died moving forward.

• 43:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wow.

• 43:25Corinne Vien?

  And there were a lot. By the time that the third death happened, my mom and I understood what my dreams meant. We prepared for these calls.

• 43:35Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh.

• 43:36Corinne Vien?

  Always took place in the same field, doing something different, but same field and always beautiful. My dreams did stop when I was about 15. My last dream was another uncle, but his death and pain that followed, it was different. This uncle was a father to me and his death hurt me on a different level. And at that point in life, death is natural for me and my dreams, and I recognize that this is my last goodbye with my loved one. And when I had this dream about this particular uncle, it was one of the first times I woke up. I got to my knees, I prayed to God that I was wrong.

• 44:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's really tough.

• 44:08Corinne Vien?

  Mm hmm.

• 44:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's like this double edged sword because you get these beautiful moments with them, but then you know.

• 44:15Corinne Vien?

  You know.

• 44:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's not like it happened after their death.

• 44:17Corinne Vien?

  Right. Yeah. She says, usually my dreams came with a bit of acceptance of what was to come.

• 44:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 44:24Corinne Vien?

  But with this uncle, I felt a moment of desperation and I prayed to God to take my gift away. I don't want to have these dreams anymore. I do not want to know. With love, spooky.

• 44:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wow, spooky. I don't even know where to begin. That's horrible. I can't even fathom. And it's how horrible for someone to die in such a horrible way and they didn't have answers for so long. And they had to seek justice in the afterlife.

• 44:53Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, it is like it's, I know that our theme was scary, but it's like scary in a different way too, where it's like.

• 44:59Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Humans are scary.

• 45:00Corinne Vien?

  Humans are scary and just like finding peace in the afterlife or getting justice can be scary. And this story reminded me a little bit of the Zona Hyster shoe, the Greenbrier ghost, which was a story we covered very early days of our podcast. About a spirit who connects with her mom who's still living after she dies. And points fingers at her murderer. And I feel like this is, it's like one of those things where like, it's also kind of a horror movie theme or like trope too, where like. And an entity becomes an entity when it's just a spirit who hasn't been, like the wrongs haven't been righted.

• 45:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 45:38Corinne Vien?

  And now there's bursts of energy and crazy things happening.

• 45:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  They don't know where to like put it.

• 45:43Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 45:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 45:44Corinne Vien?

  Until finally they get justice and then peace.

• 45:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And they find peace.

• 45:47Corinne Vien?

  Restored.

• 45:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. I have one more to end us on and it is called Ghost Man and an Eerie Death. Hi, my name is Anna and I have a handful of ghostly encounters, starting from a fairly young age. My family is native and some of us are gifted in some way or another. I unfortunately see stuff. I try to block everything out unless I do want to see because. I've seen something I'd like to never see again, but that is not this story. This is actually two stories and involves my aunt and I figured I may as well tell you her story as well. So story number one, I was too young to remember any of this happening, but my mom does. We decided to visit family on the reservation. However, since we didn't live up there, we had to get an Airbnb. Before Airbnb existed, but that's what we'll call it.

• 46:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It was me, my sister, my aunt, my mom, my dad, all staying there. My dad took the car and drove somewhere, which will come into play later. And so my sister, myself, we went to go sleep in separate rooms. It was just my mom and my aunt awake chatting on the couch. As they were chatting, catching up with one another, they both stopped and stared into the hallway. Just to see a tall, black figure walking down the hall and into the room I was sleeping in. They were spooked. So my mother turned to my aunt, my aunt silently nodded confirming, yep, she saw it too. And they talked about seeing it, but decided to carry on with their conversation.

• 47:12Corinne Vien?

  This is like the predicament that I go through in my mind where I'm like, what, if I see something going to Noah's room, do you, what do I do? Do I run right away or do I stop and wait and observe and step in only when absolutely necessary?

• 47:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, they chose to not do anything. And minutes later, I walk out of the room hysterical, crying to my mom saying, he won't leave me alone. Tell him to leave me alone. So my mother told my aunt she'd be right back. She took me back to my room, laid down with me saying, I just had a nightmare, which come on.

• 47:47Corinne Vien?

  What? But she knows. She knows that there's something else.

• 47:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But just trying to keep her calm. A few minutes go by and nothing happens. I slowly go to sleep and my mom just cuddles me. That is until she feels the bed dip. And a man lays down behind her and wraps his arms around her. She now knew this is definitely not a nightmare and the thing that she saw walking into my room was now touching her.

• 48:12Corinne Vien?

  Uh, yeah, cuddling, big spoon.

• 48:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Calmed herself down and told the man, you cannot touch me. You are not allowed to be here. You need to leave and he did.

• 48:23Corinne Vien?

  Wow.

• 48:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  My mother relieved, stayed with me for a few more minutes and got up, went back to my aunt. My aunt, however, was shaken because she saw the black shadow leave the room, walk into the hallway and disappear. They didn't see that man again, but like I said earlier, my father taking the car would come into play. He actually ended up crashing the car and had to walk back to the Airbnb.

• 48:43Corinne Vien?

  Whoa.

• 48:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And while walking back, he saw a man standing in the tree line, smoking a cigarette. Since he had just gotten in an accident and he was shaken up, he stopped and asked the man for a cigarette. But the man didn't reply. So my father says, whatever, keeps walking. But for some reason, he decides to look back and the man was no longer there. I don't know if it was the same man or what.

• 49:05Corinne Vien?

  Who is this like weird watcher of the property?

• 49:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But I'm very glad I don't remember the man bothering me.

• 49:11Corinne Vien?

  Wait, do we know where the Airbnb was? Did they say the state?

• 49:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  No, they just said near our reservation. No. Okay, story number two. This is about my aunt who has passed, but it's about the mystery of her passing, if we can call it that. I'll call my aunt Aunt C. This isn't particularly paranormal, but shows my mom being in tune. So at the time, my mom was having the same reoccurring dream every night. It was outside of Aunt C's house and there was a man telling Aunt C to come with him very insistently. Aunt C kept saying, no, no, she didn't want to go. And my mom was scared and she kept having this dream over and over. She knew it meant something, so she decided to go see Aunt C. And when she got there and told Aunt C about the dream she kept having, Aunt C was scared.

• 49:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Telling my mom to stop because that was happening. Someone, maybe one of Aunt C's friends, I can't recall his name, was insisting that she come out with him and she kept rejecting his offer. My mother said, please, please don't go with him. It's not a good idea. I have a bad feeling. A few days later, my aunt was found naked in her bed and dead. Her death was reported as a natural death.

• 50:20Corinne Vien?

  Oh my, oh gee, that's horrific.

• 50:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. A few weeks after my aunt's death, I told my cousin about the dreams. She told me that she saw the man outside of Aunt C's house the day before she was found. Sounds like Aunt C did go out with that man and brought him home. We don't know what happened after that, except for that man ran out of state after that night. A few years after her death, he called my cousins and cried to her saying, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry. When she tried to ask what happened, he just hung up. I don't want to speculate, but I know in my heart he did something. I know her death was not natural. There are too many holes.

• 50:56Corinne Vien?

  No, yeah, it sounds real fishy.

• 50:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. I don't know why they never investigated. Turns out when the police came, they told them about this man. They shrugged it off and never did anything. That is from Anna.

• 51:08Corinne Vien?

  Oh, see the injustice.

• 51:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. So the real horrors.

• 51:12Corinne Vien?

  Sometimes are the people and I do think that more ghosts should murder their killers.

• 51:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm all for it. Go get some vengeance.

• 51:20Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 51:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'll do that. I'll be, I'll be a little, uh.

• 51:23Corinne Vien?

  Murderous ghost.

• 51:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Murderous ghost.

• 51:25Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 51:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 51:26Corinne Vien?

  Me too.

• 51:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We'll be like Spider-Man.

• 51:28Corinne Vien?

  We'll do it together.

• 51:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Batman and Spider-Man, but we're probably going to be more like the SpongeBob. What is it?

• 51:33Corinne Vien?

  Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

• 51:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What are, yeah, what are our superhero paranormal names?

• 51:40Corinne Vien?

  I don't know, but I just like.

• 51:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The purple, purple panties.

• 51:44Corinne Vien?

  The purple panties are coming. It's just.

• 51:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The purple panty.

• 51:47Corinne Vien?

  You hear a bunch of like farts and you know that we're about to come get ya.

• 51:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And we come with a rancid smell.

• 51:52Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 51:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Honestly.

• 51:55Corinne Vien?

  It's all the Jersey mics. Just so sorry. Coffee breath and Jersey mics.

• 52:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Are we ordering Jersey mics after this? Cause I feel like we have to.

• 52:02Corinne Vien?

  Probably, yeah.

• 52:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, great. So yeah, don't fuck with anyone or the purple panty aunties, aunties. I feel like we should say aunties. The purple panty aunties are going to come for you in the afterlife.

• 52:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Meow.

• 52:16Corinne Vien?

  That's the thing. I feel like we're gonna like people, the, we're going to be the spirits that like come and they'd be like, oh, this isn't a serious spirit.

• 52:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's like a joke.

• 52:23Corinne Vien?

  But then all of a sudden, but then.

• 52:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You're dead.

• 52:26Corinne Vien?

  They're gone. Don't do bad things.

• 52:28Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 52:29Corinne Vien?

  Or spirits will come for you in the afterlife.

• 52:30Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, and we encourage it.

• 52:32Corinne Vien?

  Unfortunately, it doesn't really matter if you do bad things or good things, because spirits will probably still come for you.

• 52:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, sometimes the good people get haunted by demons too.

• 52:39Corinne Vien?

  Plenty.

• 52:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Plenty. Well, yeah, that's haunted kitchen sink.

• 52:43Corinne Vien?
