0:35

.

0:38

Hey everyone , Ghost Joe here and welcome

0:40

to the Warp Reality Paranormal Podcast

0:42

. I have a pretty good show

0:44

for you . I mean , I like it

0:46

, I guess . Anyway

0:49

, it's mid-January and

0:51

this year is moving pretty quickly already . It's

0:53

crazy , and we've had one

0:56

snowstorm already where I live

0:58

, and what's better to pass

1:00

the time than to listen to me ? Huh

1:02

, Please don't

1:04

turn me off . Anyway , let's get started with

1:06

some paranormal news . So

1:09

let's get into some paranormal news now

1:11

. Winnipeg has

1:13

an exhibit called the Undead

1:15

Archive 100 Years of Photographing

1:18

Ghosts . It features 25

1:20

contemporary artists renditions of

1:22

ghostly ectoplasm . It

1:24

also features photos taken by Dr

1:27

Thomas Hamilton , which supposedly

1:29

depicts real photos taken

1:31

in the early 1900s of people

1:33

expelling ectoplasm . Sir

1:36

Arthur Conan Doyle , the creator of Sherlock

1:38

Holmes , had actually had a seance

1:40

with the Hamiltonians at which he claims

1:43

that the table was floating and moving

1:45

. The entire time , Doyle recounted

1:47

how the table clattered again and

1:49

again entirely on its own , with no

1:51

sitter touching it . One moment

1:54

it was quiet . Then well , here's

1:56

a quote actually from him . A moment

1:58

later it was like a restless dog in a kennel

2:01

, springing , tossing

2:03

, beating up against the

2:05

supports and finally bounding out

2:07

with the velocity which caused me

2:09

to get quickly out of the way From

2:12

1923 to 1935

2:14

, with an elaborate set of cameras and lenses , Hamilton

2:17

set out to capture the psychic force on

2:19

glass plates in his laboratory

2:21

. He published hundreds of

2:23

photographs of tables turning

2:25

and ectoplasm extrusions of

2:28

cellular plasm from the

2:30

body of the female mediums . Hamilton's

2:33

pictures were widely disputed and

2:35

praised by two researchers who

2:37

got into a public argument with magician

2:40

Harry Houdini and Samuel

2:42

Ackroyd . That's right , he was

2:44

the great grandfather of actor

2:46

and ghostbuster Dan Ackroyd , who

2:48

had brought ectoplasm into

2:50

pop culture from the movies . By the way

2:52

, the offer still stands . Mr Ackroyd

2:54

, Please come on my show if you

2:57

ever actually hear this . So if anybody knows

2:59

Mr Ackroyd Dan Ackroyd that

3:01

is , please , I'd love to have him on . He's also

3:03

a UFOologist too , which is pretty awesome , and

3:05

he has his own podcast and his own vodka crystal

3:08

head vodka , Anyway . So if you're

3:10

in Winnipeg area , please check out the exhibit

3:12

and if you do , you know what to do . Give me a

3:14

call 8484-5600-0744

3:17

. Let me know about it . Ghostjoeny at gmailcom

3:20

. So on to some

3:22

out of this world news . You

3:24

know I don't know if you guys have noticed

3:26

that there have been a lot

3:29

of UFO sightings through the globe as

3:31

of late , From the bright green light

3:33

hovering over Louisiana back in July

3:35

to a newly released UFO

3:37

sighting traveling over a building

3:39

in the Middle East back in 2022 . It's

3:42

been UFO mania lately . The

3:44

most recent is tons

3:46

of videos from Florida of

3:49

people capturing UFOs on their phones . You

3:51

know , I definitely I'd like to believe

3:54

in all the stuff , but again , Florida is

3:56

, you know , a big place where they

3:58

set off rocket ships and stuff and

4:01

a lot of aerial stuff

4:03

. So who really knows , you know , but

4:05

the biggest story I'd say is

4:07

that of the Miami mall alien

4:10

. On January 5th of this year

4:12

, the police were called to the mall due

4:14

to about 50 teenagers causing

4:16

a riot and setting off fireworks , or

4:18

so we want , or so they want us to

4:21

think . Apparently , a couple

4:23

of days after reports of people saying that

4:25

there was a cover up and that it was actually

4:27

because there was a 10 foot alien

4:30

spotted in the mall , likely , you

4:32

know , returning Christmas gifts there

4:34

is , of course , a gray

4:36

, a grainy video of

4:39

said account and I'll have

4:41

to have a few of my show notes , so check that

4:43

out the local police stuck to their

4:45

story about it being teenagers

4:48

and said that there were no aliens

4:50

there . If you were there or

4:52

if you know any more about it , you know what to do

4:54

. Give me a call . You know , I've

4:56

never actually seen

4:58

, or thought I've seen , a UFO or aliens

5:01

or anything like that . You know , it's definitely

5:03

something cool to think about , I think . But

5:06

if you ask Harvard astrophysicist Avi

5:09

Loeb , aka Dr

5:11

Buzzkill , he says that there's no

5:13

way that any of these claims

5:15

are legit . He states it

5:17

would take about a billion years to cross

5:20

from one side of the Milky Way galaxy to

5:22

the other . Loeb said , Adding

5:24

, given that I don't think any

5:26

spacecraft that would arrive to us

5:29

from another star would

5:31

carry biological creatures . They

5:33

wouldn't survive the journey being bombarded

5:35

by very energetic particles

5:37

in the interstellar space for so

5:39

long , Loeb said . She said

5:42

that it's more of a possibility

5:44

that they are AI beings with

5:46

artificial brains . You know , I

5:48

think we should get a second opinion by

5:51

astrophysicist Brian May . That's

5:53

what I think . But yeah , on

5:55

to the next thing . Let's check in with Edge

5:58

Grave , Dave , with some horrible

6:00

reviews .

6:02

Horrible reviews of Edge Grave

6:04

David .

6:06

Should old Quaint Dinsby

6:08

forgot or just bloody

6:11

murdered Happy

6:13

bloody new year , gravediggers

6:15

, happy January

6:17

and 2020 Claw

6:19

, because that was at least the tagline

6:22

of this 1987 straight

6:25

to video release , where even

6:27

the director himself had given

6:30

up on this film at some point . So

6:32

let's rip right into

6:34

this . Edge Grave Dave is here

6:37

to give you a brand

6:39

new Edge Grave . Warning

6:41

, spoiler alert . Ah

6:44

, the 80s , a time where , as

6:46

I have mentioned before , you

6:48

can just stroll on into the video store

6:50

and what you see is what you get

6:53

, and in this case , we're looking

6:55

at a skeleton with a party hat

6:57

. As a matter of fact , it's a skull

6:59

that has eyeballs , kind of like Evil

7:01

Dead 2 . We'll get a little bit

7:04

into the Evil Dead later , and it's

7:06

got a little blowy thing that you have at

7:08

the party , though , and you got

7:10

a little disco ball in the back . Yeah , it's

7:12

party time , streamers , and

7:15

the movie has absolutely nothing

7:17

to do with what the cover looks like . Well

7:20

, sort of that might have taken us a little

7:22

bit lightly . At least that's what the

7:24

US video cover looked like . Anyway

7:26

, I can only imagine what the UK

7:28

one looked like . This film was directed

7:31

by Norman J Warren

7:33

, starring Susie Atchison

7:35

, nikki Brooks , colin Haywood

7:38

, mark Pauley , catherine

7:40

Roman , julian Roney . This was

7:42

edited by Carl Thompson , music

7:44

by Kryno Moore and

7:46

Nick Magnus , and it looks like we

7:48

got quite a few different production companies

7:51

. I can only imagine the red

7:53

bloody tape that this one might have gone through . Guys

7:55

. We have Laser Entertainment's LTD

7:57

. We have Cinema and Theater Seating

8:00

LTD . Man , look at all these

8:02

distribution companies . We have

8:04

Target International in the UK , brave

8:07

World in the UK , vhs I guess

8:09

they supplied the skip in the cinema

8:12

route Academy Entertainment

8:14

into the US , vhs and

8:16

Smart Egg Pictures . Now , where

8:18

have we seen that before ? Ah

8:20

, new Line Cinema used them to actually

8:23

distribute to video the Nightmare

8:25

on Elm Street series . But this

8:27

movie is a little bit of a nightmare

8:30

itself and in the spirit

8:32

of the new year , this movie certainly

8:34

has that old 80's charm . That's

8:37

one of the things that I just can't get

8:39

enough of , guys . It has that warm

8:41

little cozy feeling of you don't

8:43

know what the hell is going on and then suddenly

8:46

you're just entertained . It's just so

8:48

over the top ridiculous . It

8:50

has crazy soundtrack as well

8:52

. It has all of a sudden there's a little

8:54

blip kind of a piano part in this

8:57

rockin' electronic new wave pop

8:59

kind of rockin' soundtrack to it . You

9:01

have a whole bunch of characters

9:04

that just simply don't belong in every single

9:06

scene that they're in . It kind of starts

9:09

out you have this carnival going on

9:11

and you have this Tilt-A-World

9:13

and this poor girl stuck on there being

9:15

terrorized by these three biker-looking

9:17

guys , and they walk around with that walla

9:20

chain you know , the one that they probably

9:22

got from Hot Topic Hot Topic

9:24

, that's a pretty good one , guys and

9:26

then they're being terrorized and they're

9:28

runnin' from them . They even go

9:31

into a funhouse at one point and

9:33

they chase them with a car and they don't

9:35

give a crap for anyone , they just plow right

9:37

through the goddamn thing , and the best

9:39

thing that they could do to get away is

9:42

to just take a sailboat that

9:44

could barely fit five people

9:46

. And then all of a sudden we

9:48

have a I'm the king of the world

9:50

A little bit of a Titanic moment

9:52

, where this rock is sort of the

9:55

size of nothing . It

9:57

sort of breaks the boat right

10:00

in the center and water starts flowing

10:02

and oh no , we're gonna die , we're gonna drown

10:04

. Except all of a sudden there's

10:06

a beach right in front of them and they could just walk

10:08

right up to it . Apparently

10:11

, there is a whole

10:13

island that I guess nobody's

10:16

ever heard of before and nobody's even seen

10:18

. And there's a hotel that looks

10:20

like a cross between the shining

10:22

and like something that you

10:24

might see in a Christmas movie

10:26

, with everything all kind of cozy . Did

10:30

I actually mention and I did not

10:32

that the movie opens up with this black

10:35

and white millimeter film you

10:37

guys know how I love that Of a whole bunch

10:39

of people at a party from 1959

10:42

transitioning right into 1960

10:44

. And after the opening credits , that's

10:47

when you get into this carnival part and everything

10:49

transpires that I just discussed

10:51

. Now , when you get into this hotel

10:54

, everything looks fresh

10:56

but yet at the same time everything

10:58

also looks abandoned . You

11:00

have all this weird kind of things moving

11:03

by themselves , kind of like

11:05

almost Ghostbusters vibe

11:07

to it , where you sort of can't really

11:09

take it all that seriously

11:11

, until the things that

11:13

are moving around start to become

11:15

creatures that actually kill

11:17

people in all different parts

11:19

of this . There's one point

11:22

I just have to say . We've talked

11:24

about killer sofas before . How about

11:26

a killer tablecloth that

11:28

looks like a seaweed monster ? Yes

11:31

, I say seaweed because when you

11:33

know you stay at the tablecloth and make sure that this

11:35

happens to each and every one of you , it starts

11:37

kind of oozing this kind of greenish sort

11:39

of seaweed looking stuff that I

11:41

don't know . Maybe must man for masters

11:43

of the universe that he might have had some

11:46

sort of issue with and you

11:48

also have . Oh , this is a really bad

11:50

one . You better be careful

11:52

about Nets that come after you where you

11:54

know only half of your body's covered , because

11:57

there's no way that you're getting out of that . Put

11:59

that in acts , of course you know

12:01

. So you just start hacking away and then

12:03

the inanimate

12:05

object that is possessed is

12:07

released . So there you go . This sort of

12:09

gives you some good life hacks , as a matter of fact

12:11

, or maybe some afterlife hacks . This

12:14

entire island , there's like

12:16

nowhere safe that you can go . They're

12:19

in the hotel , they're out of the hotel

12:21

. You have no idea what's going on Until

12:23

you start getting little images

12:26

of . There is a black

12:28

and white TV that shows . There was

12:30

sort of this experimental airplane

12:33

that I guess everybody

12:35

took at some point after

12:37

New Year's . There's a little monologue about

12:39

this at the end . I suppose that kills

12:42

everybody because they don't really go into

12:44

it too much . And then

12:46

you have teenagers

12:49

that are running around with all these sort of jump

12:51

scares and special effects that are

12:53

very close between evil dead

12:55

and ghostbusters , like once again , all

12:58

of a sudden they take the zombie route where

13:00

they start , I guess , getting bit , and

13:02

then they become one with the

13:04

monsters and they attack and see all these

13:07

ridiculous lines . It's just up

13:09

and down . It's like one big roller

13:11

coaster ride , literally . That

13:13

you will find entertaining

13:15

. There's really no major

13:18

plot between the characters

13:20

much , although who's going out with who

13:22

? I suppose you know

13:24

it's a very cliche

13:26

for its time . You know you have like this

13:28

one really girly girl , you have

13:31

somebody that you

13:33

know is sort of like like

13:36

the tough guy you know , kind of walking around

13:38

and he's really confident , and you have like

13:40

these two like minor guy characters and

13:42

then like this sensible girl

13:44

, which you're going to really have a

13:46

hard time trying to figure out just

13:49

who the final girl is . But

13:52

they really try to toy

13:54

with you with this mystery . But really

13:57

you know there's so much

13:59

going on that you don't really have much time

14:01

to try to figure it out until you see

14:03

it happening . And then , once the

14:05

main cast members get

14:07

possessed one by one at

14:10

least some of them anyway , and I'm not going to tell

14:12

you who you have makeup

14:14

that to me looks like across between

14:17

Gozer and again

14:19

I'm just going to mention Evil Dead

14:21

. It's almost like , in a way , a poor

14:23

man's Evil Dead meets

14:25

a little bit of Ghostbusters , with

14:28

just sort of like special

14:30

effects , where they were like , let's just try this

14:32

. Oh , let's just try that . That's kind of fun

14:34

. A kitchen that kind of operates by

14:36

itself , and then it's normal . And

14:38

then we have a quicksand element

14:40

and then we have , out of absolutely

14:43

nowhere , we have this like mannequin pilot

14:46

that his head explodes when

14:48

they attack him . It just jumps

14:51

around so much

14:53

that you're almost going

14:55

to have to do a double take

14:57

and have this bloody new year be

14:59

a bloody old movie , because you might want

15:02

to actually rewatch that . You

15:04

know this does have some rewatchability

15:06

to it in that respect . As

15:08

I mentioned in the beginning , they're

15:11

on a sailboat that goes awry , where

15:13

there's a problem . Apparently

15:15

, the three biker dudes from

15:17

the beginning of this movie somehow follow

15:19

them . How that happened , I

15:21

have no idea . They're in the middle of what

15:24

looks like the open sea or

15:26

the open ocean and they're just attacking

15:28

them at some point . There are some cool parts

15:31

where they meet their demise too , but

15:33

really it's just a special

15:35

effects display through and

15:37

through , upon digging

15:39

a little bit more into this , I

15:41

did actually read that the director

15:44

at some point was so pressed

15:46

by the producers to get this out that he

15:48

just sort of gave up on the film

15:50

when they were doing some , some dubs , and

15:53

then he really didn't make movies again after

15:55

that , which is actually really sad

15:57

. You know , this is definitely one

15:59

of those movies where I could see it having

16:01

a cult following . Though it's not

16:03

a very good film , definitely , looking

16:06

back at it , it really is a

16:08

pretty fun film and for

16:10

that reason , even though it

16:12

really does deserve one

16:14

grave out of five , I'm

16:17

actually gonna give it two . And

16:19

the reason for that is movies

16:21

are meant to entertain us and the entertainment

16:24

value for this movie is definitely

16:26

there . If you do wanna check this out

16:29

, this is free with ads and available

16:31

on the app called Tubi . You know they

16:33

have a lot of things actually that you could

16:35

choose from , and it's definitely

16:38

something that , while it

16:40

does say bloody new year , this actually

16:42

does take place in July , but

16:45

if you're looking for your new year's

16:47

horror fix , this is definitely

16:49

it . So check out bloody

16:52

new year and , hey , you

16:54

know you might find something that you

16:56

can be entertained with . I don't really think that

16:58

there's much of a scare factor

17:01

. There's a little bit of gore

17:03

to it , but nothing that's too

17:05

realistic , something that is

17:07

really just purely special effects

17:09

, and you can sort of make your own judgment

17:11

from there on . So , happy

17:14

bloody new year and happy bloody

17:16

new year . Ghost Joe Edge

17:18

grave here to party . Let's

17:20

ring it in . Take care , guys

17:22

, be safe .

17:25

Thank you so much for that awesome , horrible

17:27

review . Edge grave of bloody

17:29

new year . I've actually never seen that movie , but

17:32

I absolutely remember

17:34

seeing the cover of it back in

17:36

the day going to the video store . That

17:38

was just a great time doing that , you know

17:40

. I know

17:42

it's much more convenient . Everything is about convenience

17:44

. Now . I know it's great to just sit on

17:47

the couch and just pretty much put on any

17:49

movie you want at the click of a couple

17:51

of buttons , but it was an experience

17:53

, going to the video stores One

17:57

that I miss and I

17:59

remember very , very fondly as a kid

18:01

. So on to the next paranormal

18:03

topic . We're going to talk

18:05

about the most haunted

18:08

forest in the world . It's

18:10

called the Hoya Batu Forest

18:12

. It's considered the most haunted

18:15

forest in the world . As I said , it just so

18:17

happens to be located in Vlad

18:19

the Impaler's AKA Dracula's

18:21

old stomping ground of Transylvania , romania

18:24

. The forest

18:26

named after a shepherd that disappeared

18:28

along with his 200

18:30

sheep , which they never found . It's

18:34

commonly referred to as the Bermuda

18:36

Triangle of the country . Hoya

18:39

Batu is home to the region's

18:41

oldest Neolithic settlement , believed

18:44

to originate from 6,500

18:46

BCE . The site includes

18:48

archaic houses and a burial ground . It

18:51

started to gain popularity in the late 60s and 70s

18:53

as being a hotbed

18:55

for UFO sightings . In the

18:58

60s , biologist Alexandra

19:00

Sift , who

19:02

took a bunch of photos of

19:04

flying disc-shaped objects in the

19:06

sky , he too had experienced memory loss

19:08

and a strong feeling

19:10

of being watched . The area

19:12

gained more notoriety when military

19:15

technician Emil Barnet

19:17

took a famous photograph

19:19

of a UFO in Hoya Bachu in 1968

19:23

. These photos are still considered

19:25

to be authentic . Most locals refused

19:27

to enter the forest because they believed

19:30

that once you enter them you may never return

19:32

. Some people who have ventured in

19:34

there and had returned had

19:37

complained of rashes , physical harm

19:39

, scratches , burns and nausea

19:41

. Electronic equipment seems to malfunction

19:44

and some people have caught apparitions

19:47

in their pictures from the forest . Some

19:49

people reported hearing

19:52

disembodied female voices giggling

19:54

and orbs flying around . There's

19:56

a story of a five-year-old little girl

19:58

who went missing in the forest , to re-emerge

20:01

five years later wearing the same

20:03

clothes , remaining the same age

20:05

, and had no recollection of

20:07

what happened . Now , mind you , I tried

20:09

finding out more info about

20:11

the little girl , but I came up empty . So

20:14

take that of what it is . A legend

20:16

says that Romanian peasants

20:19

were murdered there in the 15th century

20:21

, and it is believed that the souls

20:23

of these tormented ghosts are

20:25

trapped within the wooded confines

20:27

of Hoya Bachu Forest . Many

20:30

people report a feeling of being watched

20:32

as they travel near the forest's

20:34

edge . I smell a road trip

20:36

coming up , so let's pack those soggy

20:38

sandwiches and let's get down there to Transylvania

20:41

, romania , wouldn't ?

20:42

that be awesome Tiny terrifying

20:44

tales .

20:50

Okay , everybody . So this tiny , terrifying

20:52

tale is written and

20:55

narrated by yours truly

20:57

Ghost Joe , and this one's entitled

21:00

Flowers in the Garden

21:02

. Where Beautiful Flowers Bloom , make

21:05

sure to water them , for it is

21:07

spring soon . The old man's

21:09

been at it for far too many

21:11

years . It brings joy to

21:13

locals , invokes happiness

21:16

, tears . But what they don't see

21:18

is what lies below the

21:20

torturous screams . Most will

21:22

never know . But for those who

21:24

had their bodies never found

21:27

, fists pounding , under , no

21:29

one heard a sound , hundreds

21:32

missing , their families distraught

21:34

, no one suspects the old

21:36

man , he'll never be caught . So

21:38

next time you go to see a floral

21:41

display , remember this poem

21:43

, for it may be your

21:46

day .

21:47

You're listening to the Warped Reality podcast

21:49

, but don't be too scared , it's

21:52

a real scream .

21:59

Hey everyone . So I hope you enjoyed

22:01

that tiny , terrifying tale and I

22:03

definitely hope to have more of that coming soon

22:05

. So get on it , Nat . Before

22:07

going on to the next segment , I wanted to mention

22:10

that just this week there was a very

22:12

strange UFO UAP video

22:14

released by journalist Jeremy

22:16

Corbell . It shows an odd-shaped

22:19

, unknown aircraft , dubbed

22:21

the Jellyfish UFO , floating

22:23

over the US Joint Operations Base

22:25

in Iraq in the year 2018 . It's

22:28

a very interesting video . I'm not

22:30

sure what to make of it , but I'll

22:32

leave a link in the show notes for you guys to check it

22:34

out . As of this recording , the Pentagon

22:36

still hasn't weighed in on the elusive video

22:39

. The footage was taken from

22:41

an aerostat floating over the

22:43

base to detect any incoming threats

22:46

. Ufo debunker Mick West

22:48

happens to believe that it was most likely

22:50

two different balloon-like entities moving

22:53

about 12 kilometers apart . West

22:56

added that it appears to be moving at

22:58

the same speed as the wind , which

23:00

is a strong clue that , instead of

23:02

an alien visitor , it's probably just

23:05

a balloon . Let me know what you guys think . Give

23:08

me a call , 845-600-0744

23:11

, or email me at ghostjoeny

23:13

at gmailcom . This

23:16

is .

23:16

Haunted eBay . Happy

23:19

bidding , kiddies .

23:26

All right , everybody . So the first item

23:29

of Haunted eBay for this episode

23:31

is one called Very Haunted

23:33

Antique Book from ancient

23:35

times , and of course it's $66

23:38

, of course , but it's free economy

23:40

shipping , so that's always

23:42

good . And it's coming all

23:45

the way from Cairo

23:47

, egypt . That's pretty cool actually

23:51

. So the item description

23:53

from the seller goes as follows

23:55

I am moving and I have

23:57

way too many haunted objects . This

24:00

is an antique haunted book from

24:02

an ancient period that was found

24:04

at an ancient tunnel . It comes back

24:06

to 2200 BC . They

24:09

have 10 ancient hand drawings

24:11

. As soon as I got it , my cat

24:13

hissed at it . I also got strange

24:16

phone calls with strange voices

24:18

and a strange language which I cannot

24:20

understand . The language it seems

24:22

ancient though . The second

24:24

day it entered my house I tried calling

24:27

back , but nobody picked up . I

24:29

have seen doors move on their own

24:31

. Her disembodied voices had

24:33

very strange dreams , you

24:35

name it . It was so active

24:37

I had to leave it outside my house

24:40

in the shed . My mom is bothered by

24:42

extreme paranormal activity and it

24:44

wasn't my decision . I'm sure that

24:47

you weren't scared or anything

24:49

, because that would freak me out too . Anyway

24:51

, yeah , so on to the next item

24:54

. So the next

24:56

item is called Haunted

24:58

Item Apple and it's

25:00

going for $18.50 or

25:02

you could well that's the bidding or you

25:04

could buy it now for $32.50 . The

25:09

description goes as follows

25:11

Meet Miss Sylvia . This

25:13

has a spirit of a 65

25:16

year old school teacher . The vessel

25:18

is a beautiful glass apple . It

25:20

does actually look very nice , very

25:22

, very highly active , and she

25:25

is a sweet , positive spirit . She

25:27

will watch over your younger spirits

25:30

and she will get along

25:32

well with all spirits and

25:34

animals . She gives off a motherly

25:36

warm , loving feeling

25:38

. She is a very , very positive

25:41

. Miss Sylvia used to be

25:43

a school teacher for over 40 years and

25:45

this apple was one of her most

25:47

charitable things . So

25:50

that's pretty interesting A haunted

25:52

apple , but it's a glass apple . It actually looks

25:54

very nice though , so you should probably check it out . Alright

25:58

, so the last item that I have

26:00

for you guys for Haunted eBay , this

26:03

show is . It's actually

26:05

pretty nice . It's a long description

26:08

, so I hope you guys don't mind , but it's

26:10

very , very cool . So I think you guys would appreciate

26:12

it . It's called a real haunted

26:14

hotel movie theater seat , 1927

26:18

and it's going for $550

26:20

. So the description

26:22

goes as follows this is an

26:25

original vintage 1927

26:27

movie theater seat from the haunted Von

26:29

Minden Hotel and cozy theater . Made

26:32

of wood and steel , fully functional

26:34

and surprisingly comfy , gently

26:37

cleaned it with extreme care , mounted

26:40

on a temporary riser base , which

26:42

is included the Von Minden Hotel

26:45

in Schlossenberg , texas I

26:47

think I said that right open for business in 1927

26:50

and is one of the only hotels

26:52

outside of the Northwest to

26:54

be constructed with a movie theater built into

26:57

it the cozy theater . It's

26:59

also regarded as one of the most haunted

27:01

places in Texas . We'll have to revisit

27:04

that . This is not a surprise

27:06

when considering the following . A young soldier

27:08

who had lost a leg while serving as a paratrooper

27:11

in World War II was staying over at

27:13

the Von Minden on his return home

27:15

While going through a stack of

27:17

his mail when he came to

27:19

a dear John letter from his girlfriend . In

27:22

it she explained that though she loved

27:24

him deeply , she was breaking up with him

27:26

. Crushed by the news , the

27:29

heartbroken soldier leapt to his death from

27:31

a fourth story window . The saddest

27:33

part of the tragedy , however , is that the soldier

27:36

had not read all of his mail . Further

27:38

down in the stack was another letter from

27:40

his girlfriend pleading for him to forgive

27:42

her and telling him that she wanted

27:45

nothing more than to be by his side forever

27:47

. The day after the soldier's suicide

27:49

, the girlfriend , dressed in her beautiful new

27:51

polka dot dress , arrived at the Von

27:54

Minden unaware of what had happened . Since

27:56

then , scores of visitors have

27:58

reportedly witnessed two apparitions

28:00

in the Von Minden hotel and the cozy

28:03

theater One , a soldier missing

28:05

a leg , usually seen at the top of the

28:07

staircase or at the end of a hallway . The

28:09

other a specter of a woman in a polka

28:11

dot dress . She is seen wandering the

28:13

hallways and through the aisles of the movie

28:15

theater . She'll sometimes ask people

28:18

for directions , supposedly to the soldier's

28:20

room , and quite often she organizes

28:23

guest belongings . Clothes

28:25

thrown on a bed will later be found

28:27

neatly laid out or loose change

28:29

, and car keys left on a dresser

28:31

will be found placed in the center

28:33

of a doily . The

28:35

Von Minden was recently purchased

28:37

by a group of investors who plan

28:39

to renovate and sell it , but prior to

28:41

that I was friends with the previous owner

28:43

, mr Bill Pettit . Sadly

28:45

Bill had passed away , but during the time

28:47

I knew him I learned a lot about the Von Minden's

28:50

history and the spirits who dwell there

28:52

. Bill also knew my passion

28:54

for anything having to do with movies and old

28:56

movie theaters , so he offered to sell

28:58

me some items from the Von Minden To

29:01

find out he'd stored all of the remaining

29:03

original movie theater seats from 1927

29:06

in two rooms on the fourth

29:08

floor of the hotel . He said he wanted

29:11

to free those rooms up and that I'd

29:13

be doing him a favor if I bought them . So

29:15

I gladly did . Personally , I've

29:17

always been a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal

29:19

. I've always believed there's a scientific

29:21

explanation for everything . But we don't know

29:24

yet what we don't know to

29:26

proper methods of qualifying

29:28

things we deem paranormal . That is

29:30

until I had my own encounter with

29:33

the woman in the polka dot dress . On

29:35

the day I picked up the seats , there were only

29:37

three people on the fourth floor my sister

29:39

, my brother-in-law and myself . The

29:41

seats were stored in the last two rooms

29:44

on the right at the end of the fourth floor hallway

29:46

. At one point

29:48

my brother-in-law and I were walking

29:50

together down that hallway towards the

29:53

two rooms . My sister was in the room farthest

29:55

from us resting on one of the seats

29:57

. Nobody was in the other room and

29:59

the rooms do not connect . As

30:01

we got closer we saw the shadow

30:03

of a woman moving around in

30:06

the room closer to us and we heard

30:08

the seats being moved around in there

30:10

, but when we looked inside , there was

30:12

nobody . My sister then popped her head

30:14

out of the room . She was in and looked completely

30:17

shocked . Who was the woman in the first room

30:19

? My brother-in-law and I

30:21

both saw her shadow in the hallway

30:23

and we all heard her moving the seats

30:25

around . My sister was even talking to

30:27

whoever it was , assuming that either my brother-in-law

30:30

or I had come back up and were

30:32

moving chairs around in there . When she got

30:34

no reply , that's when she popped her

30:36

head out . That's why she looked so shocked

30:38

. She thought she was talking to one

30:40

of us . Nope , she thought she

30:42

was talking to the woman in the polka dot dress . On

30:45

top of that , the seats in that room had

30:47

clearly been moved . We had been

30:49

talking . We had been taking

30:51

them all apart to make it easier

30:54

to take them down the stairs , but now

30:56

it looked like someone had tried to line them up

30:58

to organize them , and

31:00

one of them was now close to the door

31:02

, way away from the others . That

31:04

was the moment I went from skeptic to well

31:07

, maybe there is something to this Ha-ha

31:09

. I moved to California a few years ago

31:11

and put all the seats in storage , except

31:13

for this one , which came with me into California

31:16

Shortly after I received word

31:18

that there was a break-in and everything

31:20

from my storage unit was stolen , and

31:22

, as upset as I was , I was also

31:25

extremely thankful I'd brought this

31:27

one with me , because this is the one

31:29

that had been moved close to the door

31:31

that day . I've added photos

31:33

to this listing of the Von Minden

31:35

Hotel Cosy Theater , including some

31:37

taken of the day I got this seat in

31:39

2015 . Please feel free to reach
