She was 17 and riding with her best friend down a dark road with a creepy old house nearby. The road was known for being a death trap with multiple fatal accidents over the years. Suddenly, she felt something attach itself to her. I'm Beth Ann Campbell, and this is Something Weird Happened Here.

I know Heather from the business side of life, and I have no idea that A, she's had so many paranormal experiences with ghosts and spirits, and B, she's got some abilities, you know, like the psychic sensitive kind. This is part one of our conversation. Heather, welcome to Something Weird Happened Here. I'm so excited to have you on my other podcast. I've had you on The Thirsty Professional twice and soon to be more. But I started this podcast uh just a couple months ago, a few months ago. And it's it's an interesting evolution as to where it's going, and I like it. And I'm excited to have you here today because you're just awesome. You're an awesome guest no matter what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 1:43

Thanks. Well, I have I have five stories for you to choose from something weird happened. Yeah. Wow. Pick one and then I'll just pick one.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

Well, uh you know what? Let's kick right off. Tell me your um your first something weird happened to your story.

SPEAKER_00 2:01

So, my first something weird happened to your story, I was probably about 17 or 18 years old. There was this road near where I lived. There was this really creepy house at the end of the road, and it was just one of those the road came stopped, and that wasn't like a blind end, right? But it was just one of those places where for for no no explainable reason there had been multiple fatality wreck accidents, like people just didn't stop at the stop sign, just kept going right into the tree, and the house was so super creepy.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

Lots of good energy there.

SPEAKER_00 2:33

Yeah, oh yeah. I mean, like it was just one of those places every time I drove by, I would just go like ooh, and we drove by one night, and I just felt something attached to me, which sounds crazy, but for real. What did it what did it feel like? Can I ask you what it felt? What did it feel like? It just felt like I had just like like I was just like ugh, like I don't like it. I don't like icky feeling. Were you were you driving or are you driving? I was not driving. Okay, thank god. I was not driving. We we were headed back to I was with my I don't even remember who was on the car, but my best friend was driving and we were headed back to her house. I think we were doing a sleeper or something, and as we were driving, like this dog ran out into the road and we hit it, and I heard I felt the thing leave and I heard it laugh, and I was like, and so that's I like I know that that house is like possessed and that that's why people wreck there because whatever's in that house is so evil, is so evil.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

So, do you think that it could be the house or just the general area? It could the house be evil because the area and I've had I've had so many conversations with with guests about areas of the world that just seem to have good or bad, some concentration of energy, call it paranormal, whatever you want, but just some energy ley lines, parallel universe, portals, whatever. And I just wonder if the or or do you do you do is your instinct that it's the house itself?

SPEAKER_00 4:02

I think whatever lives there has attached itself to that house. And I think that whatever it is probably belonged to that house belonged to it at some point in time. Um, or for whatever reason it's attached itself to it because I've also had a spirit attach itself to me and move with me. So um, we'll get to that one.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

So so you you have this thing attaching itself to you, then you have this accident.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

Yep.

SPEAKER_01 4:27

Why do you think that it left you when you think that was its goal?

SPEAKER_00 4:31

That it was its goal was to do some sort of harm to you, something. Yeah. Yeah. And at the time I just thought I was crazy. Like I thought I was just being, but as I've gotten older and I've had other experiences, I'm like, oh no, this was really an evil spirit and entity that saw an opportunity, because I am very open and I'm very wis receptive and I sense those things. And so I was easy for it to attach itself to and go somewhere else and do besides just kill people at the end of that robe.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

I had um my friend Evie on a c for a couple of episodes, um, and she is um she has some known lifelong abilities to sense things, and she calls it the path of least resistance that uh if you are a sensitive person, meaning sensitive to those things that we cannot see or sense with our normal senses, uh intuitive, psychic, clairvoyant, clairsentient, whatever that uh things are, you know, embodied spirits, uh things, uh perhaps um entities from other dimensions, even maybe aliens, who knows, um, will find the path of least least resistance. Um do you do you um because you you have uh maybe this sensitivity, do you ever do things to like you know protect yourself so that you're not uh it doesn't happen again? Or apparently it did happen again.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

So did it happen again. Uh well it tried to. Um no, I don't. I mean maybe I should. I've always because so you know the haunted museum is here in Las Vegas, Zach's haunted museum, which has a lot of which that's one of my one of my experiences. Um I've never been because I'm so afraid that something in that like I'm I'm like so afraid that something in that place because he has some really evil stuff in the Yeah, and and spirit and and things can attach themselves.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

My last guest, um Tanya, was talking about how she doesn't thrift, she doesn't antique shop because she doesn't know what's gonna come home with her. I do it all the time because I am not a receptive person. I think they they cut they're like looking and they're like the if the spirits are looking for path of least resistance, they don't even notice Beth Ann Campbell. They're just like what yeah, I'm a fly. Get out of my way. Let me go find somebody who's gonna actually uh see me or sense me.

SPEAKER_00 6:57

But um yeah, I have a friend that won't go. I love to go to antique stores and thrifting and all that. And I it had never occurred to me that something could be attached to something like so now I'm more she was like, You have to take cellulite with you. And I was like, Oh, I got that, honey, I got that. She was and I said, I got plenty of cellulite. She was like, not cellulite, cellulose. And I was like, so it's like it's uh I don't know, it's a crystal, yeah. And so I need to go get something, but I have not done that, so I probably should just because I am aware that things do, and but probably six years ago, almost six years ago, I decided to walk by the haunted museum just to see what it was like because I really I am fascinated by this kind of thing, and I really want to go because he's got some pretty cool stuff in there, and but I hear stories, right? I'm like, I want to go check this out, but I'm so afraid that something will attach itself to me, and so I'm like, okay, let me just walk by it. And as I walk by, like I got nauseous, like so nauseous, and like that I felt like there was this pressure, so something was sitting on my chest, and I got this intense headache. And like to the point that there was some guy in putting something in his car, and he was like, Are you okay? Wow, like you could see that there was something physically, and so once I got out of the house past the house, it went away. But then I had to walk back to go back by my car, back to my car. I was like, Oh my gosh. And so, because otherwise it would like walk way around, right? Like I was gonna have to do a whole thing, and so as I walked back by, same thing happened. And as I was leaving out of the space at the area, I something was watching me, I could feel it watching me, and it was like, Don't ever come back here. Like, we know who I'm I was like, okay, not coming back, not coming back, never coming here again. I'm like, it was so, but it was so intense, like could not breathe, like just and then it was just gone, just like that. Like it was this serious energy.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

I was almost gonna say, you know, you could probably go and then prepare yourself, and then afterward, um, because when I used to ghost hunt after each hunt, we would um sage smudge ourselves to make sure that nothing came home with us, right? Um, but I don't think that I think you're beyond that at this point.

SPEAKER_00 9:10

I need to take my cellulite, my cellulose, some sage, across, some hole in water. Like I'm gonna have to go in there.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

Yeah, some gar garlic. Yeah. Have you um I didn't know this about you? Did have you always had these sort of sensitive abilities or when did you first? I know you don't even advertise yourself as you know this type of a person, but I'm just curious if you have had this for a while and if if you have any early memories of maybe being a little sensitive or intuitive.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

I probably always have been, but it's not necessarily something that you know was encouraged. I'm like, probably if it had been encouraged, if I had dived into these these skills, I probably could be a medium or um clearer audience or one of those things, probably. Yeah. Um, but it's not something I've ever dived into. But I do remember um as a child, my mom told me that I had said one day, so like, you know, when the sun and in the morning when it's rising or setting and you see the the lights coming out from the sun right through the clouds or whatever in the sky. Um and I told her there were angels in them. And so I'm almost certain that I could see the angels in them. Um, and so anytime I see them now, I'm like, oh, angels are coming up or down, you know, they're doing their thing. Um but it just wasn't something that was encouraged, explored, talked about, like, you know, because you'd be like, you're just I was I have a very active imagination anyway, as you know from the story I'm planning to write, and and all the things. And so it becomes, is it my imagination? Is it real? You know, and when you're little, you don't you don't know, you know. And so those things I really think have to be developed when you're open to that. And if they're not developed, then you're just kind of stuck in this in-between of yes, I know things could attach itself to me, and yes, I've had some very interesting experiences um with that.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

But um I'll ask you this because you've been very open about your faith, faith in God, and that, and and so with some of the things that you've experienced, have you had any conflict in trying to reconcile how does this fit in with my faith, or does it just sort of naturally fit in, or has anybody, you know, ever questioned it, or have you questioned it based some based on something somebody anybody said, or no?

SPEAKER_00 11:30

I've never really questioned it. I fully, I mean, I well, you know, I have a very different relationship with God and my faith and all that. I am very, very deep in my faith, but I also because of that, I also understand that um it's not just good and right, there's evil because we have God, we also have evil. That's part of the deal. That's why the world is so broken. Because I mean, even the Bible says that like Satan goes to the guys, like I've been walking around down there, right? I don't like this dude, Job, right? Right. So he attacks Job. And so I'm I'm fully, I fully believe that these things, and a lot of times they're not necessarily evil entities, not the one that caused us to hit the dog was some sort of evil spirit, but like I've had an experience in um Charleston, South Carolina, where a ghost um is one of their on their it's not one of the most haunted places, one of the most well-known haunted places in Charleston. It's a restaurant, and um, the ghost literally held me in the bathroom, like she wouldn't let me out. And but her deal, yeah, it's crazy. I thought I was like having a whole meltdown.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

But tell me, well, tell me some detail. Were you seeing somebody or just sensing or in in no?

SPEAKER_00 12:41

So this is an old house. It's called this, it's now called Pugan's Porch. It's a restaurant now, and used to be owned by two sisters, has a very long history of incidences that have occurred with this particular so she has been seen by people. Um, workers like there's been multiple um unexplainable fires in the restaurant. Wow. Um and multiple work, there's multiple stories of workers that have come in after hours to do work in the kitchen or whatever, that have left run screaming from the place and refused to go back in. And so this was my god, I was probably 28, 29. Um, we're in Charleston for the weekend, and so we decided to go to Pugan's porch because they had clumps and blue cheese. And so I just long story. So we won't go down that rabbit hole. So, anyway, um, so we went there and I went to the bathroom. And so it's an old house. So the bathroom was a tiny little bathroom, right? And they had a stall, but it was really a one-person bathroom. You just didn't lock the door because there was also a sink of somebody needed to come in and wash their hands. So when I went in and the door shut behind me, and it made this weird click, and I was like, Oh, I must just not shut it all the way, right? I couldn't think too much about it. Do my thing, wash my hands, I get ready to leave, and I go to open the door and it won't open. Not only will it not open, so I'm like, oh, okay, because I'm very claustrophobic. And so immediately the minute I think I can't get out of somewhere, immediately the walls start closing in.

SPEAKER_01 14:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:10

And so I'm like, well, I must just be stupid. I can't open the door, right? We've all been there. Other we've all been there. Yeah, like it's probably it's a pull and I'm trying to push, or it's a push and I'm trying to pull, right? And so I go back to open the door, and I could literally feel someone pulling it the other side. And I was like, well, somebody must be trying to get into the bathroom, right? And so I just stepped back and I was like, let me just let them in, and nothing happened. And so I was like, what the heck? Are they coming in or not? So I go back, and again, I could feel something pulling it on the other side. And I was like, Oh my god, what am I gonna do? I gotta get out of this bathroom.

SPEAKER_01 14:50

It's like embarrassing. Forget the ghost part of it. It's like, I'm gonna have to call 911 to get me out of the freaking bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 14:57

What am I gonna get out of this bathroom? And so I go, I was like, I gotta get out of this bathroom. And so I go to open it again, and this time again, I feel something pulling it, but now I'm like really pulling by, and then they just let go and the door like slams open, and then this blast of ice cold air hits me, and like she was very clear to get the F out of her house, get out. So I went back to the table. I told my my husband, we gotta go, we gotta go right now. We have to leave. And he was like, I'm waiting for her to bring my card back because he was paying the bill. And I was like, No, we gotta go, we gotta go right now. She doesn't want us here, she doesn't want people in her house, she doesn't understand why we're here, we've got to go right now. He's like, I gotta get my card, right? It's kind of and so like she seriously doesn't understand that she's dead and that these that she doesn't know why people are in her house. She didn't invite us and she doesn't want us there. And yeah, it was just it was one of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

You know, it's really interesting that because you said a couple things. Um, and I've I'm what's well, this is one of the revelations that I've had as I've been in the short time I've been doing this podcast, and I've talked to you're probably the sixth or seventh, maybe eighth person I've talked to, who has talked about having some sort of sensitive abilities. And I think a lot of people who are very anti, I'll say woo, just as a general encompassing of unconventional stuff, um are, you know, really think that it's just you're you're whack jobs, you're just you know, crazy and you know, whatever. But every single one of you has talked about you don't just automatically assume something. You're trying to figure out what is this really? There's gotta be somebody on the other side of the door. The door's stuck, I'm pushing instead of pulling. There's always a logical, like, exhaustion of uh of reasons for things before you get to the point of okay, maybe this is not logical, or you know, by can by normal convention. So which I do it's just an observation of mine that I just find it fascinating that there's so much logical thought before you get to the woo that um it actually kind of you know surprised me. I probably had some preconceived notions myself. So yay, for you.

SPEAKER_00 17:25

Um it's a lot we don't understand, and I think that for us, I think for some people that are so against woo, it's because they need everything to fit into a box, right? Yeah, yeah, and I'm just more open than that. Like there's just a lot of things we just don't understand, and I don't understand how, but I have had enough experiences to know that um there's more to it than just what what fits in a box.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Well, and when you were talking earlier about, you know, your faith and that there is evil, um, but also even in some um in some times, maybe even current times, something doesn't even have to be evil if it's not understood. I mean, how many people were persecuted for witchcraft because they were herb dealers, right? Or just doing right? So it's not even doesn't even have to be evil. So I could say where there's there's a lot of history behind uh, you know, people having abilities like that. You know, if you if you were sensitive, if you were picking up on stuff, you were called a witch or you were ostracized at the very least. So it's just uh it's interesting how this kind of still kind of kind of comes full circle and how you navigate that um as a person of of a very deep faith.

SPEAKER_00 18:41

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I probably would have been drowned in Salem if I hadn't there during that time frame, right? But and I think that like not all spirits are evil, some are just like this poor woman that doesn't understand that she's dead and people are just coming into her house every single day by the hundred, right? Like she's just she's up, she doesn't understand. I think sometimes that literally um they just get trapped here for whatever reason. There's something that's unfinished, they don't they died unexpectedly, or they're just attached to whatever it is that they're stuck in. And um, I had one that when I left my my husband, I moved in with my parents for about six months, and they have been having some weird things go on. And um my grandmother had visited one time and she had heard what she thought was my parents arguing, and my mom she m asked my mom about the next day. My mom was like, uh, no. We were both sound asleep, we weren't arguing, I don't know what you're talking about. And then she heard it several times, and then my dad saw a woman, and um, yeah, and so they had built this house from the ground up, so it wasn't like it was somebody from before, but there must have been something that had happened on that property many years ago because she was dressed very old-fashioned, very old-fashioned when my dad saw her. And this was when he was starting to get sick, um, although we didn't know it at the time, so he was probably much more open to seeing things, right? Yeah, and closer to the veil. Right, right. And so when I moved in, I never heard anything, I never saw anything. But when I moved out, um, I started hearing what I thought was my neighbors having knockdown drag outs at night, like in the middle of the in a different place. Yeah, in my new place that I had bought. And so I was telling mom about it, and I was like, because I had come from an abusive relationship, like I was very concerned for her, but also you've got to be very careful about putting your, you know, putting your nose in somebody else's business and getting into the middle of all that your own safety. Yeah, right. And so I was talking to my mom about it, like what to do, and I was like, because this was starting to happen more frequently, and I was like, I think the next time I'm just gonna go over there and just knock on the door. I said, because enough is enough, yeah. And whatever happens, happens. Because I have put myself in between people before, yeah. And um, and I said, because I don't want to just call the police because that creates a whole nother like that could just but if I just go over and knock and be like, hey, you know, you're being really loud, could you hold it down or whatever? Yeah, and so my mom was like, Are you sure it's them? I don't because I don't hear them any other time. The only time I would ever hear them was when they were not not their kids. I would never hear them. And I was like, Well, I'm pretty sure who else could it be? And she was like, Well, we had you know our ghost that we had, we haven't heard her in a while. Oh and she was like, and what you're describing is exactly what your grandmother heard, it's exactly what I've heard. And she said, Maybe she attached, you know, she went with you because she recognized something in you, right? Saw that same similar damage that had been done, la la la. And so I said, What in the world? And so the next time I heard it, I said, I said, ma'am, you're safe. He can't hurt you anymore. You're safe here. Nothing bad is going to happen. It's okay. Never heard her, never heard them fight again. Never hurt. It was it was she was gone. I'm goose bumping all over. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:06

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 22:06

So again, she had recognized, identified, and attached and moved with me. And then now she's safe, hopefully resting in peace.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

She needed something, and you were the person to give it to her.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

Yeah. Yeah.

unknown 22:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:21

That's that's really profound. Thank you for sharing that. That's yeah. I had no idea that you had so many. You know, honestly, Heather, sometimes people will go. I've had a lot of people like they will, um, I'll be in a networking call and I'll say, Yeah, I have this podcast, and they'll go, Oh, I got this great story. And I'm like, okay, here's my website. There's a form. If you're interested, fill it out. And they go, Yes, I'm here's my story. And it's kind of like, it's just kind of kind of sounds like a dream. They even say it's a dream. I have this, a lot of people have like weird dreams. I'm like, that's cool. Maybe it's but um, you know, but I'm I'm usually skeptical. And then you come on here, and I was like, okay, cool. I've never talked about anything before. And but a lot of people come out of the woodwork. I've had a lot of LinkedIn people, professional people met up through LinkedIn or my other podcast who, you know, like, yeah, I had something happen, and then you're just kind of blowing me away with all this stuff. Is have you had other experiences that you can share?

SPEAKER_00 23:23

Or so there was one other hold my beer. Yeah, she's like, Are you done yet? No, so like, let's go. Um, there was one other, and that it happened here in Vegas probably about seven years ago. And um, he's now my fiance, but we had just just started. I don't even know why after this experience, he even because like uh the whole time this was happening, I was like, This guy's never gonna go out with me again because he's gonna so we had walked from his apartment to um or his his studio apartment to uh to dinner and as we were coming back, um nothing had happened on the way there, so there I had no warning whatsoever that something was about to happen. And as we came back, um we were passing this subdivision and I saw this skeletal hand reaching for me through this great gate. It was like a it's like a drain where the water could run out, right? Reaching for me, and I just felt this evil presence, and I knew that it was trying to attach itself to me, and so I was like, We gotta go, we gotta go right now, and so I started like practically running down the street, and he's like, What's wrong? What's happened? I was like, It's come because I could feel it, I could feel it coming, and I was like, We've gotta go. And so we were coming up to an intersection, and the light is getting, and I knew we had to get across the intersection. I don't know how I knew that, I just knew we had to get through this intersection before the light changed because if we had to stop at that intersection, it was going to catch us. And he was like, What? What is it? And he's like, looking like I sound like a crazy person. I knew I sounded like a crazy person, but I knew it was coming, and I knew if it attached itself to me, I knew that it was going to use me to do because I'd already had this happen before in my life, right? And so um we got there and the light was literally changing, and I was like, We gotta go, we cannot stop, we've got to go. And so we ran through basically the red light. Traffic was out. And so, but we got to the other side and I literally felt it like stop chasing and feel so disappointed that I had gotten away. But every single time I ever had to drive past that, because I never walked on that side of the street again, ever. But every time I would go past there, I would feel it. Like it's just uh and so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:51

I have this should be my new tagline because I say this almost every episode. But if if I'm if I'm standing there and I see a skeletal hand, a disembodied skeletal hand poking through the thing, I'm shitting my pants right there. I am pooping like bridesmaids in the middle of the street 100%.

SPEAKER_00 26:12

It was it was it's and so we we got back to his house and he was like, What happened? So I'm telling him what happened. And again, in my mind, I'm going, This guy's never gonna go out with me again. But he was so supportive and so encouraged, he was like, It's okay, you're safe, everything's fine. Like, what do you need? Like he was so so supportive about it.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

So, so you we've established that you have you are kind of a path of least resistance for some entities. What what do you think makes you um more intuitive than say, like myself? And I've again I've talked about this a lot on this podcast that I did ghost hunting for 10 years. I never got like super scared at anything. There's nothing that ever blew me away. We had um in the both of the teams I worked with, we had sensitives, my friend Evie, and then this other person that I um actually based a character in my my paranormal mystery books on, and they would sense things eerily close to stuff that they had no idea about, but were close. I never did, I never sensed anything. I I you know felt like I was receptive enough. I wasn't, I know I was of course skeptical. We were always there to find the truth, but everybody was, yet nothing ever uh I never experienced anything, at least didn't notice it. Uh so why do you think uh what do you think is it is it about you that makes you more receptive to attracting uh these spirits?

SPEAKER_00 27:46

I don't really know what it is about me, but I have I have there's it's something with my aura, I think. If I could get a little woo for a minute. I think it's something with my aura because there have been multiple instances in my life where I have been around people who are, as you say, getting closer to the veil, right? They're coming to the end of their life. And I've been told that I look like an angel, like they have they see something in my aura that I can't see. I don't see people's auras per se. Now I can see when somebody is like I can be like, oh, I don't want to be around that person, right? Like I sense those kind of things or I want to lean into that person, but I don't like I know some people see auras, like they see color around people. I don't see that, but there's something in my aura that people who are close to the veil and who are on the other side of the veil can see, and I think that's what makes me um I'm not shut down about it, right? Like I'm very open about it, and I think that's part of it, right? Like I do believe that there are things that walk among us, I do believe that there are spirits that are trapped here. I've and it's funny because I've worked in a place where for five years we um we routinely like daily had cadavers in the building because we did hands-on training for physicians and veterinarians, so we had all kinds of cadavers, yeah. Yeah, tons of fun. And I had somebody come up to me and be like, I can tell that you sense things, and I I don't talk about this a lot. That's like I don't just walk up to people and be like, Hey, didn't you know I'm a sensitive and I I've seen I've had ghost experiences, right? Because people think you're crazy. So it's not something that I just talk about. And but she just came up to me out of the blue and she was like, I know that you sense things, right? And I was like, uh, what do you mean? And she's like, like spirits and go, you sense things. And I was like, Yeah. And she was like, Have you ever sent with all the cadavers here? Have you ever sensed anything? And I was like, No, which supposedly the building did have a ghost of a former employee that had died um kind of unexpectedly. He got injured at work and had to have surgery, and he threw a clot and died, and he had come back and attached, but I didn't know him, so I never sensed him or anything because he didn't know who I was, right? But I told her, I said, But all the cadavers that are here, they've all died somewhere else. They're they have no association with this building. They they might have a spirit somewhere, but they're not here.

SPEAKER_01 30:02

Yeah. Um, so yeah, but it's very interesting because I actually just wrote down in my notepad before you started talking about this. Has anyone ever recognized your ability? And you has anybody else other than this person ever other than the people close to the veil that may have seen things? Is anybody ever recognized that you have abilities?

SPEAKER_00 30:26

I think my friend that won't go with me, Antique, and I had never thought about it before. I think that she did, because then she's like, you need to protect yourself with your cellulite, and I'm like covered, right? Like that. I think, but other than her, if if they have, they haven't like asked about it.

SPEAKER_01 30:43

Yeah, I mean, um, I so there's a little element in, you know, I wrote um a paranormal mystery, I'm working on the second one right now, and there is a little element of um a person in the the story has some sensitive abilities. And one of the things that because my books take go through a paranormal and a realistic paranormal investigation, part of that is you get a report at the end of this is what we found, this is what we could, you know, we um believe. We never conclude 100% because you just never know. But we think this and this we probably can explain with this. But we always also always, um, and then we did this in real life as well. We would always give um a list of here's some things that you can do to mitigate if you have a classic spirit in your house that you don't want there or that is bothersome or whatever. But I added one because there was a person in the book who um has some sensitive abilities, and one of the things was, I mean, there's the classic, you know, protective shell and light and grounding, and but I I didn't realize that there's a there's this mess mesh method where you kind of imagine a mesh around you because um you don't necessarily want the good energy to be reflected or deflected. So you kind of imagine like a mesh, almost like a screen where the negative bad energy um is not allowed and bounces off, but the good energy is allowed to come in. So um, but I imagine it would be kind of a dance. You you you even talked about um you talked a little bit about uh people energy. Do you have a pretty good vibe for living people energy as well?

SPEAKER_00 32:24

Most of the time. Yeah, there's been a few times where I like I just met somebody and I'll be like, yeah, they're not who they think, not who they say they are, and I it's turned out right. Like, and so um, but I usually have a pretty good vibe. Yeah, I pick up on the energy, like even um like when we were watching uh you know Retta's Haunted House Haunted Love It, yes, yeah, most haunted house in America or whatever. Yeah, one of those houses, this minute they showed the house on the screen, I had a reaction. I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. She can't go in there, she can't go in there. What's the was like this was recorded, who knows when? This isn't even live. She's already gone in. Well, I said, Well, she's probably dead. I could feel like so that sometimes I have a very intense reaction to a place, a thing, a person. Yeah. Um, and then that's how I know, like, nope, we're not coming near you.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

I think I think vibes with people are um probably more common um in just the average person because I know I've gotten vibes before, and I would say that I'm usually right, almost I I can only think of one time where I got a really bad vibe about somebody. And it after getting to know that person, I thought I actually became pretty close friends with that person. So it was very it was a really weird experience because the the vibe that I got when I met that person was so visceral and just so like, oh, I cannot stand you, and then um really had a complete turnaround. And I was talking to a friend of mine about it actually on this podcast. Her name's Evie, my friend that I talked about that I ghost hunted with, and she said that was um probably somebody that um I had been involved in a past life with a soul contract. So she talked, I don't know if you've ever heard of soul contracts, but it's this idea that a soul comes to earth for a lesson, so or to learn something. And she said you probably had an interaction with this person in another life, and it maybe wasn't a good one, but you both learned something, so now you're in a different place and you recognize and you had that reaction because of something that happened, you know, not in this time, but now you're in a different time and you've learned and you've both grown and evolved. So I don't know. Have you ever if you have you ever been wrong? Have you ever had a vibe that was like no wrong?

SPEAKER_00 34:52

I've had vi I mean I had some I'm not usually that way, like right where I have an immediate reaction, like I don't want to get to know the person, and then it turned out they were okay. It's usually the other way. Um, I've had m several instances with people where I thought that they were good people and they became friends and then it turned out they were just backstabbing hussies. Right.

unknown 35:12

Right.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

Oh, oh yeah, we've all I guess I should say we've all had those, haven't we?

SPEAKER_00 35:18

Right. So but and probably to be fair about it, if I have that kind of visceral reaction to a person, I usually just stay away from them. So yeah, yeah. I don't know that I've ever given anybody the opportunity to because I'm I'm very protective of my myself and my peeps. And yeah, so if if you if you send off that radar like that, like bye.

SPEAKER_01 35:40

Bye-bye. Don't let the don't let the door hit you where the good lord splits you. Right, exactly. Well, I am uh so thrilled that again that I could have you on, and I'm so happy that you're able to share these um what unexpected tales that I never knew about.
