$32. Not bad. Did it come with the candle?
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, that's why. Now you're making money.
Eddie
Hey, I think this Is good. I am a full supporter of seasonal merch.
Henry Zabrowski
You know what we got that was one of the more interesting gifts from the wonderful crowd that we just performed in front of in Humboldt county. Was some. Yes. But it was just a herpes of the thought. And that is what I have currently.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
The. But someone brought us little vials filled with the ground up bricks from the factory. From the.
Eddie
From the Silver Shamrock.
Henry Zabrowski
Silver Shamrock factory. That called that. They filmed it right around where we were in redway, California. Halloween 3. The. The actual novelty factory in that film. They. When it broke down, they. These guys that like a lot of our listeners, some of the coolest dudes in the world, they decided that they wanted to go and make little monuments out of what was left of that factory.
Eddie
Yeah. So they went and they smashed up the brick and they put it in the little vials for us. And so now we got a little bit of the Halloween 3 factory.
Henry Zabrowski
So cool.
Eddie
Yeah, I love it. I'm going to. I'm going to. I told Julie and then I don't even know if she had a response. No, it was like just blank. Just like, when can I start talking about what we need to do? Sure.

Eddie
And I was like, but the factory. The factory.
Henry Zabrowski
But I got this new vial from.
Eddie

Eddie
Boog. Boog Bo. Yes. We had a great time in Humboldt. Wow.
Henry Zabrowski

Eddie
That is a spooky place, though.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, I love Slash. Is it the place that's spooky or is it the people?
Eddie
But it's like, oh, it's always misty, you know.
Henry Zabrowski
I love it. You want. You drive through all the redwoods and you see all the mist and they talking. We were in like this incredible house with all of these sweet, sweet weed fathers. And they were explaining to us about how the mist has to move in certain ways. And that's how they catch certain pockets of moisture for their very special, very, very special nuggets. And you're just like, damn, man, are y' all ants? But yeah, but when it comes down to we did meet some ants and you just don't want to know who.
Eddie
They voted for oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And says Christ. Yeah. But thank you. Special shout out to Huckleberry Hill Farms with John and Savage Farms. Jerry and Can a Country Teddy. You guys hooked us up. We love you so much. Can't wait to come back and party with you and just like find your bullshit in these other California weed stores and buy the fucking shit out of it.
Henry Zabrowski
People need to go to Humboldt directly and buy weed.
Eddie
Yeah, it's. It's. Honestly, it is like. It's solvang. It's Napa for weed.
Henry Zabrowski
It's amazing.
Eddie
It's so good. Yes. I love that place.
Henry Zabrowski
And guess what? It was perfect for what? To help me with the pulled muscle I currently have in my back because I wanted to do the funny bit of sucking my own dick on stage.
Eddie
Hey, spoiler alert.
Henry Zabrowski
Yep. And I. I now can barely move.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
So thank you to that weed. For me being present today, we have.
Eddie
To have your penis elongated or your lips long gated. One of the other, so you can actually get there. The penis. Yeah. You don't want to have protruding lips.
Henry Zabrowski
There's. I don't think there's a lot of give.
Eddie
No. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, I feel like with my penis we could find some.
Eddie
What if you. All right. What if you sucked on a Fleshlight and then fudge yourself with that? Whoa.
Henry Zabrowski
Making a prolapse.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
So prolapse with my mouth.
Eddie
You're deep throating the back of a flashlight. Then you're taking the front of it and you're yourself with that.
Henry Zabrowski
How's this helping my back? This is what. You know, when it comes down to it, I don't know how it's going to help my back.
Eddie
I think it's for future performances.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, let's try it.
Eddie
Yeah, let's try it.
Henry Zabrowski
But this is what I do for you.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Henry Zabrowski
This is what I do for you. And I. I'm out here, but now I'm dressed like. For those of you who can't see the show. I'm dressed like a chili pepper.
Eddie
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Cuz it's our Halloween episode. I'm beer. Eddie's a glass of beer.
Eddie
I'm a glass of beer.
Henry Zabrowski
And that's the most frightening thing to him because he can't have complex carbs anymore.
Eddie
Well, I can have them. I just, you know, get sick.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Eddie
Yeah. Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
And me, same thing. This is scary for me because acid reflux.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
So as I'm a pepper, this is actually one of the scariest entities I could be to myself.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Look, face your fears. Folks, Face your fears. Face your beers. Drink your peppers.
Henry Zabrowski
Drink your peppers.
Eddie
Fish your beers.
Henry Zabrowski
Beat the out of a Nazi. Like that guy in Athens, Georgia that was walking around in an SS uniform. You guys didn't beat him up. They let him get a woman, guys. You guys let him off too early. You too easy. You guys should have been beating the living out of him. But you have to the second you even saw him.
Eddie
All right?
Henry Zabrowski
Remember that. All right? This season, this Halloween season, this Friday night, if you see a single person in SS uniform, you have Henry Zabrowski's permission to paralyze them.
Eddie
Wow. Yep.
Henry Zabrowski
You can absolutely attack them. So you go and you get them if you could, man.
Eddie
Imagine like. Cuz it was like. I mean it's kind of hard to say, but it was a really nice SS uniform.
Henry Zabrowski
I. It was classy. It reminded me.
Eddie
It was like he spent some coin on that thing.
Henry Zabrowski
And that means get his blood on it.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuz it had to have been at least like. I mean full. Everything looks like Hugo. Hugo Boss.
Henry Zabrowski
What's his name? He's. I want to know. He has. I want to read his name.
Eddie
Yes. What is his name?
Henry Zabrowski
Okay. Kenneth Leland Morgan. Don't hire him.
Eddie
Yeah. Kenneth Leland Morgan is the out of him. Go get him. And I got to say, the people at Cutter's Pub in. In Athens step up your bullshit. Yep. You gotta beat the out of these guys.
Henry Zabrowski
But that's not the only spooky stuff we're covering today. Oh.
Eddie
I feel like we're moving past something that was needs to be talked about. Please, Henry. We dressed up as in for the Humboldt Show.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes.
Eddie
Henry was plus size Edward Scissorhands. Yes, I was. And it was kind of the greatest thing I ever saw. I just feel your clothes were just slowly coming off. I had to redress Henry on stage multiple times.
Henry Zabrowski
It's disgusting. I. It was filled with my sweat. It was absolute. Like literally I had to empty out my shoes.
Eddie
Oh.
Henry Zabrowski
That's how my. They liquid poured out of my shoes.
Eddie
God. How did you sweat that much?
Henry Zabrowski
It's because it was pure pleather. I got a good one. I got a good plus size Edward Scissorhands costume.
Eddie
It was.
Henry Zabrowski
I went to Halloween costumes dot com.
Eddie
Wow.
Henry Zabrowski
They're friends of the show.
Eddie
They are. They sent me a free Teen Wolf outfit. Thank you, by the way.
Henry Zabrowski
I paid full price.
Eddie
I did not.
Henry Zabrowski
But I wanted to experience it.
Eddie
Yes. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
But I bought a very fancy plus size Edward Scissorhands costume. Which is funny as it is Just.
Eddie
That sentence cracks me up.
Henry Zabrowski
So I was like, oh, I'm locked in. I bought this. And guess what? It made it difficult to perform. That also was the bit.
Eddie
Yeah. And you couldn't hold the microphone. You were destroying your beers with your scissor hands. So much fun. It was a blast.
Henry Zabrowski
We got to go.
Eddie
Henry's pants were falling down. But the funny part about it was his underwear fell down inside of the pants.
Henry Zabrowski
That's comm.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
It also happened to me entering the upcoming hoopa goo goo season 2 HGX2. That a lot of my performance in that as well involves my underwear falling down inside of the thing that I'm wearing.
Eddie
We'll see if it makes the cut.
Henry Zabrowski
We'll see.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Because to be honest, it happens to be a lot.
Eddie
Yeah. I said that Henry looks like Edward Scissorhands, played by Johnny Buca di Depo.
Henry Zabrowski
Very funny.
Eddie
Buca di Depot.
Henry Zabrowski
Very, very good. Guys, I want to know side stories. LPOTL gmail.com does anybody else. Because I really feel like I'm the only person that deals with this on a regular basis. Of my underwear falling down within my pants.
Eddie
Yeah. That is something that. That is a you problem.
Henry Zabrowski
I have never been multiple times.
Eddie
I'd say it's happened at least 12 times I've known you.
Henry Zabrowski
You're losing weight. Maybe it happens when I'm fatter too. It happens at every size. Seriously. No, Rob. Because I thought. I literally thought, oh, when I lose weight, the problem will stop. And it doesn't ever. No matter what size I am, my pants be folding down.
Eddie
Do they make suspenders for underwear?
Henry Zabrowski
Did Natalie says. Starting to give me permission for that. I. I'm gonna start top sticking them.
Eddie
I think you could look good in suspenders.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, this is the issue is that I need to figure out this transitional period.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Before I become Stanton Friedman, the ufologist.
Eddie
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Before I have to find any pieces of flare.
Eddie
Are you going to put on your suspenders?
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, mostly just gonna be a lot of really questionable looking runes.
Eddie
Because that's what it is. Good. Non folly down underpants.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm. Don't do this, Rob. You don't do this. I'm wearing. What could possibly be any different than the underwear I'm currently wearing. I'm wearing Tommy John.
Eddie
Mike Quinn's underwear stays up. I'll tell you that much.
Henry Zabrowski
That's a good. That's a good plug.
Eddie
That's a great plug.
Henry Zabrowski
You're also differently shaped.
Eddie
I am. I am.
Henry Zabrowski
Side stories.lpotlgmail.com.
Eddie
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
If you could please help me because it's. It's just been so hard on my family and it's going to be extremely hard when we have to form individual.
Eddie
Militias and you think you can't like tuck it into your folds.
Henry Zabrowski
The folds are what's pushing them. Ah. And also the fold just sucks it up. That's okay. The other issue is, is that when I do put it under my belly is that this is true. This is great radio.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Is that my body begins to eat my underwear from up.
Eddie
So then you give yourself a wedgie.
Henry Zabrowski
And my balls become all bunched up, man.
Eddie
So like even your body thinks you're a nerd.
Henry Zabrowski
I don't. I am cooler than this. All right? I'm cooler than this. I work hard. There has to be a reason. There has to be a fix. Side stories LPO TL@gmail.com if I have to meet with an engineer. If you're an engineer in the clothing industry and you want to work with me. Side stories lpotl gmail.com to make a standing up underwear for the egg shaped man.

Side stories lpotl gmail.com and send proof.
Eddie
Someone has to help Henry. You're going to have to see. You're going to have to see them. You know, if you're doing this because you're going to get in there. We're going to have to try out different underwear.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. No, you're going to have. No, I need a trusted advisor. Yeah. I needed someone who builds bridges. You know what I mean?
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
I need someone who brings like. Who builds medical gear. No, Rob, these are disgusting.
Eddie
I can. You're looking at bikini briefs.
Henry Zabrowski
My father wore bikini briefs. A jock strap. That's what you need. Just the strap. I am not a successful homosexual man in Berkeley, California. I don't want to wear jeans and say jockey. That's somebody who rides something.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And I don't need to do it.
Eddie
Wow. Look at the gutters on that.
Henry Zabrowski
No, I know. This guy's got the. You think that looks like that on everybody? You think that the jockey's fucking man thugs. He is pushing his penis inside of himself. He looks like he's in an American Apparel ad.
Eddie
God, how much pubic hair do they have in this ad?
Henry Zabrowski
It's because it's to show He's a man.
Eddie
Wow.
Henry Zabrowski
He's a legitimate man.
Eddie
That's crazy. That's like a weaned cover. It is.
Henry Zabrowski
It does look like. It looks like a Serge Gainsbourg liner notes. I hate Jackie. This is what the guys in Guar wear. No, I bet.
Eddie
Oh, I. I bet.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, hey. Ron got killed by Rob. Got murdered by Guar this week.
Eddie
That's right. He didn't come smoke weed with us so he can get killed by Guar. And how was it?
Henry Zabrowski
It was really fun.
Eddie
Yeah, it was really fun. So what happened? Explain the experience. Did you have, like, a bunch? Did they give you, like, a blood packet?
Henry Zabrowski
No. So they're like, all right, listen, you just got to go with the flow. We're gonna take you out there, we're gonna slit your throat. We got some blood bags. We're gonna pop them. Just don't fall down, all right?
Eddie
Don't fall down.
Henry Zabrowski
That was it. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, I was out there with the lights on me and they were slit in my throat. And, man, I can cross that off the list.
Eddie
I didn't even know that was on the list. But that is now on the list for me. I want to be killed by Guar so bad. It's interesting. They say, don't fall down. I imagine some guys, like, just get. Stay there the whole time because they think it's funny.
Henry Zabrowski
I do think that that is what happens if you fall down. Then everyone. You got to figure out how to deal with you.
Eddie
Yeah, hold for one second. You got some schmutz on your mustache there. And it's gone. Good job. It's gone. You got it. You could stop licking your lips. All right. Just keep doing.

Henry Zabrowski
That's a reason for the season, Eddie.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, yeah. Spooky time, man.
Henry Zabrowski
We wanted to spend today trying to get a little bit spooky because obviously right now on last podcast and left we are fucking locked in.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
To this never ending march to the end of World War II. It is coming. This is the last episode. I've already. We've already said it's the last.
Eddie
Even if it doesn't matter. Like if it's not the last episode, it's the last episode.
Henry Zabrowski
We're going to do the last episode.
Eddie
This is it. You're squeezing in the entire war in.
Henry Zabrowski
This episode ruined Halloween this year.
Eddie
They took one more thing from us and we didn't even know they were taking it till Halloween was over.
Henry Zabrowski
But.
Eddie
And I got to keep it somehow.
Henry Zabrowski
We had a bit of a. Because we had a bit of a schedule push up along the way and this is where we're at. But we wanted to bring some.
Eddie
Does look like a pumpkin. Kind of.
Henry Zabrowski
He does. I could say he looks like. You look like Ichabod Crane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But less Jewish.
Eddie
Well, of course.
Henry Zabrowski
Is there Ichabod Crane was Jewish?
Eddie
I don't think so.
Henry Zabrowski
I thought he changed it from.
Eddie
I don't think Ichabod Crane was Jewish because he was like Pilgrim Times. I don't know how many Jews we had back then.
Henry Zabrowski
I think we had like four.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
The traitors.
Eddie
What does it say? No, of course it's not easy. It's. It's too early for Jews.
Henry Zabrowski
I was just having fun. I was also fictional. Yeah. You know, he always. You can make anybody Jewish. You can make anybody black too, right? Was black.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. I remember when he was black.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, sure.
Eddie
Right. That could be fun. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Now the. This is. But we wanted to get spooky because with the Nazi series, like yes. The Einsatz Group and they're pretty like it's chilling and nauseating. But it doesn't give you creepy chain noises vibes.
Eddie
No, no. It's just brutal and upsetting.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. That's the whole thing. Is everybody's upset. Right.
Eddie
Like, when I feel like this happens every October.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, because you know what it is, is that the audience, sometimes they do want paranormal, but they don't really like paranormal.
Eddie
So.
Henry Zabrowski
But this time we're going to see how it goes. So we're going to be covering up some other stuff later on, but today I think we have some stories we wanted to share. And I don't know whether or not we want to start with your stories, Eddie.
Eddie
Yeah, well, you know, I guess we could. It's just, you know, I have, like, weird things that have happened to me.
Henry Zabrowski
I find it funny because I don't know if the audience completely knows because we did this in the very, very long.
Eddie
It was like the fifth episode of last podcast. I came and told some stories. Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
And so it's been a really long time.
Eddie
Do you remember that, Rob? No. Right. Yeah. I don't even think it's available.
Henry Zabrowski
No, I don't think.
Eddie
I don't think so. I think it's like in the Lost, like, last podcast.
Henry Zabrowski
So. But this. These stories, because we're going to read some of the. The stories you guys sent in, but Eddie's never really went through in detail what he went through on this show. And I thought this would be really good.
Eddie
Might as well.
Henry Zabrowski
This is a good time. We've never really done it. We've never. We've never expressed these before.
Eddie
So I've had, like, five separate experiences that I can't explain.
Henry Zabrowski
And you've never. You don't believe in ghosts?
Eddie
Technically, I think it's stupid, but I can't explain this shit. And so there's that, too. I mean, if someone could show me a point where it's a, yeah, you saw ghosts or whatever, I'd believe it, you know, or like, if some. Someone could prove it to me. But I don't think there is any proof. Personally, I think that when we die, we become dirt. Cool. I think we're trash. I think our body becomes trash and we throw out our trash. I don't think there's anything romantic about it. I think about, you know, people are like, get upset. I personally, you want to my dead body. As long as Julie's cool with it. I mean, technically, it's hers. Once you die, it's your spouse's body, I guess.
Henry Zabrowski
I think so. She can fuck it.
Eddie
Yeah, she could fuck it. She could give it away.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Eddie
Do whatever she wants to it.
Henry Zabrowski
Side source lpotl Gmail.com if you want to put one of those applications.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
For Ed's dead body.
Eddie
Yeah. Because Julie's obviously outliving me.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
There's. I don't think there's any question about.
Henry Zabrowski
It's just about whether or not she wants your body to go on tour or not for work.
Eddie
Yeah. Well, I do. My first thing I want to do is give my body to the bodies exhibit.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, that'd be awesome.
Eddie
I think that's, like, where you need me.
Henry Zabrowski
Just you with that. You with all of your skin off with the blunt in your mouth with the record player next to it.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a microphone in front of my face.
Henry Zabrowski
Just big fat body American podcast.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Yes, I think that would be great. I want you to be. I want it to cost $60 to come pay, you know, your dues to me, you know.
Henry Zabrowski
Look at his balls. Wow. Did they add to this balls? All the. The people running it come by, you're like, no, no. He's our finest specimen.
Eddie
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
But let's. Now, before we start today, I don't.
Eddie
Know where to start.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, let's.
Eddie
Let's first say.
Henry Zabrowski
Let's get into a spooky mood. Okay, so let's say you're at work right now. Go shut off all the lights.
Eddie
All right. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Everybody's working the.
Eddie
With work with your job.
Henry Zabrowski
These. Yeah.
Eddie
Take all the food out of the fridge and let it start rotting so there's, like, a stinky smell.
Henry Zabrowski
Like the gray.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Hide it.
Henry Zabrowski
Go into the bathroom.
Eddie
You hide a bunch of meat under the fridge. No one's gonna find that.
Henry Zabrowski
You want to know a fun trickster trick?
Eddie
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
Open up a tuna can. Oh, and leave that under something.
Eddie
Wow.
Henry Zabrowski
Then it just goes. Goes and goes.
Eddie
Go on.
Henry Zabrowski
Your boss is bang on the doors while he's shitting and say, it's a ghost in here. There's a ghost.
Eddie
Yeah, no, do that. Oh, no, it's really good. Take all your shoes off. So if it's bare feet, that'll really freak him out. The only thing he sees is bare feet.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. And you go, there's a ghost in here, Mr. Sanderson.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Use an accent, too.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, Those are going to Sutton Yard. Oh, that's how go.
Eddie
Sutton Yard, Mr. Johnny. Oh, Mr. Sanderson.
Henry Zabrowski
Come on. Go and fuck. This is the time. So you're gonna get spooky. And then you know what's also super?
Eddie
Paint your feet gray.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. And fucking smoke a bunch of, like, stuff out of a light bulb.
Eddie
Right.
Henry Zabrowski
And then put your hand a crack over a flashlight.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And look at all your bones through your hand. Yeah.
Eddie
But make sure that you're not sticking the light bulb into your hand.
Henry Zabrowski
No. Because that's gonna hurt your bleed. All right, so mix all that together and smoke some weed. And you're just about to get nervous enough to be scared by Ed's story. I think you should start from the first story.
Eddie
From the first story. All right, so basically set the scene. All right. Linden, New Jersey, which is a town right next to Elizabeth. It's an old town. It's been around forever. The houses, you know, they're all like those two story houses with like the, you know, the cold room and stuff like that. And so this house we always knew was fucked up. My Aunt Patty always saw shit. My mom always kind of saw stuff. My grandmother always kind of saw stuff.
Henry Zabrowski
And I don't know if the. If the audience doesn't have Italian American family.
Eddie
We're Polish, Ukrainian, but they don't have.
Henry Zabrowski
Any Italian in them.
Eddie
We have no Italian because we have.
Henry Zabrowski
The Sicilian witches in our family.
Eddie
Oh, okay.
Henry Zabrowski
Because my mom is like. She's put mashed together her own sort of proprietary version of Catholicism that also features witchcraft.
Eddie
Yeah, I think the Northeast just kind of has it. Yeah. You know, it's so old and so many people have just been murdered and there's so many other different problems up.
Henry Zabrowski
There, and they've all been molested. Every. Every woman our mother's age got fag and tossed back and forth between every single authority figure they ever knew.
Eddie
Yeah, don't bring it up. Because if they don't remember, they're almost dead. You know, let them just die and not remember. Yeah, but anyway, so. But so Linden, New Jersey, they had this like, tall. It was like a. It was like a three story, like four bedroom house. And there's a lot of, like, gangsters around there, a lot of Italian mafia, a lot of, you know, stuff.
Henry Zabrowski
Old school gangs.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there was. In their house, there was always like, weird would happen. They would send me up there. I used to summer in Elizabeth, as I used to say. And my parents would send me up there for three weeks so they can go have fun down, down in Florida and stuff like that. But they had one of those things that was like, you know, you press the button, the intercom, and you can talk to everyone in the house. And I'd be alone in this house also at like 6, you know, they just leave me alone.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, this is. Back in the day, our parents didn't really care as much about kids as they do now?
Eddie
Yeah, no, it's weird. But occasionally you would just hear, like, breathing. Sure. Through the. Through the. Through the thing. And that would always be really freaky.
Henry Zabrowski
And that wasn't just you snoring while you were awake? No, no.
Eddie
This is a child. I don't think I snored yet. You know, it was one of those. And so I was just like. You would always hear breathing through there, and that was always really weird. And then my aunt would say, you know, there's somebody in the middle room. And I thought she was just fucking with me, you know, because the middle room is where I used to sleep.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And your aunt is torturing you.
Eddie
Yes. So lots of times we. Like, there was lots of different, like, ghosts in the house. And I don't know, like, how much of this was my family or not, but several times it would feel like I was being held down in that bed in the middle room. Like, it would just feel like somebody was holding me down and I couldn't get up. And so to the point where that room scared the hell out of me so much that I used to sleep in my cousin's bed all the time. And, like, my cousin Christy, she was super cool, and she was like. She understood that it was, like, creepy in there. But the thing is, they had, like, a loft area. And then next to the loft area was, like, an attic area. And then in the attic area, occasionally, like, inside the attic, the light would just come on. Oh, God. And it was just like, the light would just come on, and then we'd open it, and then we turn it off. And then, like, we'd wake up in the middle of the night and the light would be on again and stuff like that. And. But also, I have to say, my uncle and aunt enjoy with you.
Henry Zabrowski
This does sound like they. They do. Like, they do.
Eddie
So I think some of it is them with us, and, like. But a lot of it was not explained. And eventually my aunt had a medium come through the house, and she's like, this place is. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And if they're Jersey, obviously, most of the time they're an extra large. Continue.
Eddie
So I didn't actually ever see or hear this, but my cousins would talk about how they would hear little kids sometimes in that attic, like, and then. Exactly. Like, fun to play with little kids. And. And I never heard this, but we talked about it a bunch, and stuff like that time goes on and this how, you know, there's always lots of unanswered questions. And eventually my uncle, who is blind, deaf, Mentally challenged. He moves into that middle room because he needs somewhere to stay at the. For a while. And occasionally I would go over there and he would just be screaming and we would be like, oh, Uncle Eddie. Yeah. And we would just be like, oh, he's just screaming and stuff. But then after the medium came, they were like, that room's haunted. And so we're like, oh, okay, so maybe Uncle Eddie was being tortured and we have no idea.
Henry Zabrowski
Blind, Deaf.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
To be tortured by ghosts all the day long. I mean, I'm not being. I don't mean to laugh.
Eddie
No, no, I mean, you can laugh. It's a comedy podcast. But yeah. And so that middle room was like really up. And then eventually my mom went and stayed up there and stayed in the middle room and she was like, it was the middle of the night and she went to go like to the kitchen downstairs to get a glass of water and something pushed her down the stairs.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. She says this, this is. I remember your mom talking about being physically attacked.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
By this ghost.
Eddie
She. Yeah, she knows. I mean, she's like, I, I've fallen before. I was pushed and she fell down the stairs. She broke her nose, she sprained her wrist and all that. It was pretty bad, you know, bad things happened, you know. But it turns out once the medium came into that place, we found out that he was hiding something in that middle room. And man's name was Vito and he had run into problems with the mafia.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh yeah. That's kind of the idea that people going in there, he's trying this idea that it's. They're trying to chase people out of the room.
Eddie
But what they claimed was. And that Veto and his children were killed by the mafia cuz he was like stealing money.
Henry Zabrowski
Cool.
Eddie
And so of course, you know, they try to like find stuff, but there was nothing to find. I think that he was keeping something safe that wasn't there anymore.
Henry Zabrowski
That's like one of those two things that I've always been wondering about is if there. Why do I never really hear about Mafioso ghosts and why do I never hear about Nazi ghosts? Because that was like one of those things I never understood about Berlin.
Eddie
Maybe they went to hell.
Henry Zabrowski
I mean, but if there was a hell, I. I find it very interesting that they took all of these old school Nazi offices in Berlin and places where people were tortured and investigated and all this kind of shit and turned them into like kindergartens and like Hallmark stores and pharmacy. Like they just retroactively turned them into other things.
Eddie
Are concentration camps said to be haunted?
Henry Zabrowski
I doubt. I don't know. I know that the Gray Kirks, the Gray Friar. The Gray Friar Cemetery in Edinburgh also was an outdoor concentration camp.
Eddie
Okay.
Henry Zabrowski
And that's wildly haunted.
Eddie
Well, that makes sense to me because I always felt like cemeteries aren't haunted.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. I feel like that's where people go to rest.
Eddie
Yeah, You. They're dead somewhere else, if anywhere. The hospital's haunted.
Henry Zabrowski
If you die at the cemetery, you'd haunt the cemetery. Yeah. Yeah. So that's like the beginning layer of all.
Eddie
Yeah, it's like the backstory of this particular story, you know, and then. So years pass. My aunt moves out of the house. They move down to Tom's river, you know, and like. And my little. My cousin had a child up there and stuff like that, and they moved out when she was three. And, you know, fast forward, it's like three years after that. The kid's like six now. We've never told the stories to this child, you know, and we're all out to lunch at TGI Fridays one day, and we're talking about the house and whatnot. And then my little cousin was like, I miss the children that I used to play with there. And we're like, what are you talking about? And she's like, the kids that lived upstairs, we. I missed them. They were so much fun. We used to play together. This is like a six year old talking to us.
Henry Zabrowski
Shut the fuck up.
Eddie
Yeah, we're like, what do you. What do you mean? What kids did you play with? And she's like, there was a boy and a girl and we played. We used to play all the time. And they were so nice. And we're both. We were all just like, frozen.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Eddie
And so, like, that was like. I didn't believe any of it until that moment because I. I felt like my mom fell. I thought that my uncle was crazy. I thought that I, like, was making up in my head because I was.
Henry Zabrowski
A child when your mom and I. Your mom and my mom's very similar in terms of the fact they're a bit of a. Would you call an exaggerator? Yeah, at times. A bit of a storyteller. At times. But there's something about that. The way your mom always told that story was always, like, genuinely frightened.
Eddie
Yeah. It was fudgeing. Terrifying.
Henry Zabrowski
So that's the. That's like.
Eddie
That's the Jersey stuff. But we had a lot of Florida things happen to us as well.
Henry Zabrowski
Your. There's one story that you've told. That is legitimately one of the most frightening stories besides the, you have told the story about the mysterious call before.
Eddie
I did that on stage. I'll tell that right now. Yes. So this is the last part of the Jersey thing. I guess so. My mom dies July 19, 2016. And her twin brother Uncle Eddie, who I was talking about earlier, he died on July 19, 2019, same day as my mom. Random. He was too hot, he overheated. They didn't have air conditioning and he kind of died in his sleep. They were, you know, they weren't well off and. But the thing that makes this so weird, other than the fact that they were twins and died on the same day three years apart, which is already weird. My Aunt Patty gets a phone call and she looks at her cell phone and it says that my mom is calling her. My mom's been dead for three years, so. And it's the date that my mom died. You know, it's all very weird, you know. So she gets a call. She looks in the, in the, the ID says my mom, she picks up the phone and it's the morgue. Telling her that her fucking brother is in the morgue.
Henry Zabrowski
That's just so scary. It's so strange.
Eddie
It's just so weird. I'm sure it's like some weird glitch on the phone or whatever.
Henry Zabrowski
But like that, that is, that's a wild glitch, man.
Eddie
It's a very wild glitch. Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, but that's kind of like in the, when people talk about the subtleness of paranormal experiences, I feel like that's really such an important moment. It, because it is like that. Because like, yes. Kind of like the breathing through the intercoms and lights. Because there's a little bit of. Maybe I'm just, maybe it's electrical. Maybe it's just something. Yeah, but that is so pointed. Yeah.
Eddie
Why would the number, the number already belong to a different person? You know, like they live town, they lived like counties away, you know, like so it's like that was just so bizarre that that all shook down like that.
Henry Zabrowski
That makes me one chilled out chili pepper.
Eddie
Pepper.
Henry Zabrowski
So full of seeds.
Eddie
There was another time in Florida that we were leaving a, a, a boy Scout event. And my Catholic school saint of our Catholic school was right next to a graveyard. We used to literally like watch people get buried during class.
Henry Zabrowski
So much fun.
Eddie
And so it was just so ridiculous.
Henry Zabrowski
Did you that freak you out as a kid or did you think it was kind of fun?
Eddie
I, I, I, I found it to be kind of fun.
Henry Zabrowski
Fun?
Eddie
Yeah, to be honest with you.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. I used to go look at them. Dig graves.
Eddie
Yeah. I was never freaked out by cemeteries.
Henry Zabrowski
No, not once.
Eddie
It kind of made me sad, but, like, never. Like, I was never freaked out.
Henry Zabrowski
Well, for a while, I did get in the thing. You know, you'll get very superstitious. As a kid. I got hit all the time. The idea of, like, holding your breath as you get. As you drive past a cemetery.
Eddie
Oh, really? You ever heard that? I have heard it, but I've never done it or anything as a kid.
Henry Zabrowski
Now. Now, apparently, I was diagnosed with ocd, but that made me frightened, and I used to do it religiously. Yeah, the same thing with, like, the mirrors with. With Bloody Mary. I kept like, oh, that doesn't scare me. But I just assumed I'd do it against my will.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. But, you know, it is. It is your will. Yep.
Henry Zabrowski
And it's not real.
Eddie
So we're leaving Cub Scouts one night, and my dad's driving. My mom's in the front seat, I'm in the back seat, and we're leaving, and we see this, like, we're going past the cemetery, and me and my mom, we see this, like, shadowy blue figure in the middle of the road. And we're like, hey. My mom's like, jerry, there's someone on the road. And then he's like, what are you talking about? There's no one on the road. And then I'm like, dad, there's someone on the road. You know, my mom's like, there's someone in the road. Stop the car. So remember, like, stop, stop, stop. And he drives through this blue figure, and he, like, drives, like, through it, and he sees nothing. And me and my mom were like, what the. You just hit somebody. We stopped, stop. We get out, we look around. There's nothing there. It doesn't make any sense. There's no one there. Me and my mom just saw it. My dad's like, you're all idiots. We get in the car, and then all of a sudden, once we get in the car, all of the locks in the car start going up and down. Like a spasm. Like, just start going crazy. And like. Like a spasm. Like, crazy.
Henry Zabrowski
This is real, guys. Yeah, this story is real.
Eddie
Yeah, the story's real. The story's real. So. So that was when I was a child. Fast forward eight years from that. I'm driving on that same road with my buddy Tim. Tim Dean. And I'm driving with him, and we're we got some other guys in the back, same road. All of a sudden, Tim's like, ed, stop. You're gonna hit somebody. Stop, stop, stop. You're gonna hit somebody. There's a guy in the road. There's a guy in the road. I'm like, there's no one fucking here. And then I drive through the guy supposedly to Tim, and then he's like, you fucking hit someone. You fucking hit someone. And then the locks on my doors start going up and down like crazy in the same exact spot, man.
Henry Zabrowski
What the fuck? Yeah. He's still saying ghost ain't real.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't make any sense.
Henry Zabrowski
He says he feels the ghosts are a waste of time. These are the best ghost stories we've all heard. This is better than all the ghost stories you guys sent me. He doesn't believe in ghosts, house.
Eddie
Well, so that happened. And, like, and then apparently my neighborhood that I lived in, Mission Bay, it's in West Boca Raton, we had a lot of weird things happening at that house, but I always kind of wrote it off, you know, because it was a new house. Like, my parents built it from the ground up.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, so you figured maybe it's settling or there's stuff going on. Yeah, it's been made kind of. Maybe brand new house is haunted.
Eddie
No, you wouldn't, you know, because you would think that. That something has to die there for there to be something.
Henry Zabrowski
No. We were joking last night. We were watching one of our, like, our calm down shows. And so we were watching. It's called scariest houses in America. It's on Discovery plus whatever. And what it is is people submitting their scary homes to this. This reality show. And then this host, who's very sweet that, like, goes through, decides which is the scariest homes. And the one that won was this spoiler. It was this home, like, it was built over a cemetery road, and the backyard was a cemetery.
Eddie
Oh, wow.
Henry Zabrowski
And we were just joking about the lady because she. This lady that was designing it all was obviously not remotely the right person to be retrofitting a graveyard home like a cemetery, like house.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And so she's all like. And so we could put this to hide the gravestones, and we can put this to hide the gravestones. And then we were joking about how, like, they made up this out area for the kids to play and this idea for being like. And so I just. Just moved all those pesky gravestones. We don't need to worry about those gravestones. Like, that idea of, you could See someone building it on haunted land. Yeah, because that's the poltergeist story.
Eddie
Well, that's what it seemed like we had heard. But I. I like, I related to get tortured for a while first kind of in the house before we started talking to our neighbors and realized that they were all going through the same thing. Things that would happen to me was like. Like things would go missing and then would just appear, like in the middle of the desk, you know, like, they would just appear, like right in front of you, in front of every. You know, it's like it would go missing for weeks and then it'd just be like in the middle of the counter, you know, Be like weird shit.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, I mean, that hap. That I've. That I know I've had. I've experienced that activity.
Eddie
Yeah. And so I remember one time I was in my room was right before me and my buddies, we were about to go see Independence Day in the theater. And we're all hanging out at the house and they're playing like Doom or some shit in the computer room. And I'm in my room listening to music really loud, and a book falls off of the speaker. And I'm like, oh, I'm listening to my music too loud. You know, the speaker knocked the book off, whatever. And then I look back and I put the speaker book back on the speaker, and I look back and the book's back on the middle of the ground. I was like, oh, that's weird. And then I fucking. And then I.
Henry Zabrowski
What was the book?
Eddie
You're going to hate me when I tell you what the book was. JFK Assassination. Yes. But then I saw the book for the third time. I actually saw it, like, go to the ground. And it didn't fall normal. It like fell like, slanted and kind of slow. And it was. Then it was like open to a page. And so I just. I was scared. I just closed the book, threw it in the trash, didn't read nothing. Because I've always been like this. I was like, that's it.
Henry Zabrowski
And then from this moment on, I am reading a goddamn book ever again. Yeah, Evil.
Eddie
Yeah, exactly. And so I threw it in the trash. I'm like, we're going to the movies now. And I told the guys, I was like, we're just gonna go early. And then we left and we went to the movies. Later that night, my buddy Corey slept over. And we're sitting there and we're going from. We had this, like, tradition where we would like, steal my parents liquor get fucked up in my bedroom. And then in the next room was two twin beds. So we would, like, get trashed, and then we'd walk over to the next room and go to sleep whenever we were, like, passed out enough to go to sleep. And so. But, like, this night, the same. I think it was the same night, or it was like, the same week. We were going to the next room, and then right at the end of the hallway is like, my dad's this Lazy Boy chair. And we see, like, a man sitting in the chair in the darkness. And it's like that same thing I was talking about before. Like, a blue, shadowy figure. And we're just like, my dad. I was like, hey, dad, what's up? We're going to bed, you know, and no answer. And the. The figure's just, like, sitting there. And then my buddy Corey's like, all right. Hi, Jerry. Like that. And the figure doesn't move that you can't see what it is. It's in complete darkness. If it was my father, he was just sitting in the chair with no television on, staring at. Staring at us. And so. But, like, you couldn't see any, like, distinct facial features or anything like that. But there was obviously somebody in the chair. Yeah. And so we eventually went. We just like, okay, we're gonna pretend like this isn't happening. And then we just went into the other room, and then the door shut behind us, and that was just fucking weird.
Henry Zabrowski
That's just so crazy.
Eddie
Another time at this house. Another experience I had at this house was where I'm sitting there, I'm on the phone with my buddy Goldstein, and we, you know, we would prank each other a lot, you know, stuff like that. We were, you know, youngsters and, like. Yeah. And so I'm on the phone with him, and. And then there's, like, all of a sudden, while I'm talking to him, there was an aggressive. Like, my front door just started shaking aggressively. And I was like, you here? And he's like, nah. And then I opened the door. Ain't no one there. We had a screen door and everything. So the screen door, if someone did, like, you know, like, knock on the.
Henry Zabrowski
Door, they have to open up the screen door.
Eddie
And the screen door shut slowly. The screen door was shut when I opened it. I was like, you messing with me, man? He's like, no. I was like, all right, well, stay on the phone with me. I don't know if someone's, like, with me at my house, you know, so I'm walking with him and then I walked to my back door to kind of look out there, and I got these sliding glass doors. And I'm talking to him like, you fucking with me, man? And then he's like, no, no, no, my God, stay on the phone with me. You know, just, you know, just in case, like, someone's coming for me or something. And then I go and I'm like, go to my back doors, which are just like, giant glass doors, you know, sliding glass doors. You can see through them. And all of a sudden they started shaking. And then I was just like, what the fuck? And then so I'm like, all right, I don't like this. So I leave the house, you know, and I go over to my buddy Johnny's house who lives down the street. And I start. I was like. I'm like, yo, some weird shit's happened in my house. Then he's like, weird shit's happening in my house. He's like, I heard weird shit's happening at Aya's house, too. I heard weird shits happening over.
Henry Zabrowski
That's what happened in Poltergeist.
Eddie
Apparently the neighborhood was built on a plantation, like, from back in the day. And so, like. And everyone in the neighborhood had weird shit happening to them. And it wasn't for a couple years that we all start talking to each other and find out that everyone had, like, weird situations happen in that town. That's one little neighborhood.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow. That's frightening.
Eddie
Yeah. It was always very scary.
Henry Zabrowski
And then what happened? But I guess you.
Eddie
And then we moved, and I never. Nothing's ever happened to me since.
Henry Zabrowski
But I do. That's why I believe it's both. There are people that can see it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And I think that there are places that have it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
And they have to be together.
Eddie
I guess so. But I've. But if nothing has happened to me ever since, I mean, am I really a person who could see it.
Henry Zabrowski
It. I don't know.
Eddie
You know, like, that seems. I feel like that's what. I was probably 16, so that's almost 30 years ago. Yeah. So nothing. I mean, I also was like a prepubescent boy who was like, you know, going through a bunch of weird body.
Henry Zabrowski
That's what they say. Well, you can see it. And they also believe the idea that that may be legitimately something along the brain, the lines of your brain solidifying around the ages of 25 might do that. Might keep you from being able to see.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Something. Because I don't think it's. It's not like you're sensitive. You know what I mean? Like, it's not like you're very sensitive. You are.
Eddie
I'm emotional.
Henry Zabrowski
Like a beacon, though.
Eddie
I'm empathetic.
Henry Zabrowski
Amber Nelson swears she's psychic, right?
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
That she swears she talks to ghosts. She could speak to ghosts and she go into places and she holds herself like that. But I don't think she's ever seen one. Yeah, you've seen a bunch of them. Nothing's going in there.
Eddie
Well, there is the other thing I've heard, famously. I think we've talked about this on the show before. That weed dampens your ability to have contact with the other side.
Henry Zabrowski
Weed's bad for magic.
Eddie
Yeah. And I smoke a lot of weed, so maybe weed just killed whatever ghost thing that was inside of me.
Henry Zabrowski
Weed is bad for magic.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
They were just talking. Unless you got the old school, you use it very specifically in rituals or whatever of her. It's supposed to gunk up your pituitary gland, according to the magical users. But I just think they just can't handle it. I think it makes them paranoid.
Eddie
But that's all my ghost stories.
Henry Zabrowski
Wow.
Eddie
That's all. That's all. That's all of them put together.
Henry Zabrowski
That's a half an hour of ghost stories. You just did a full half an hour on just your ghost stories. That's up. You really. Julie's got none.
Eddie
Julie's got none.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, she's never experienced anything. Natalie's never experienced anything. I've never experienced anything. Rob. You've never experienced anything.
Eddie
Right. Long Island.
Henry Zabrowski
I've had some strange feelings. When I was doing plumbing, I'd go into old houses and I'd be the only one in there. And I would feel like someone's watching me. But I never had anything directly happen. I've, like, sensed. Well, they were watching you. And they were masturbating on you, probably. That's different. That's called customers. Was the Hamptons, you know? Yeah.
Eddie
You never put your wrists in my.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Dig through that. Yeah, let's just.
Henry Zabrowski
Pants slide a bit low. I like to see the crusty.
Eddie
Don't throw that out. I was saving that. I was saving that.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, It's a nice little Long island ass you got a top of. Talk about ghost stories.

Henry Zabrowski
All right, let me read some of these ghost stories. I got some ghost stories from fans.
Eddie
Nice. Nice. I got. I picked one out too.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm gonna read this. Haunted Sandwich Shop I used to work in a haunted sandwich shop in Texas.
Eddie
Texas.
Henry Zabrowski
It was located in a standalone building in the middle of a parking lot and like other businesses along the road, looked as if it had been converted from a single family home. There were creepy stories about the place shared among employees long before I got there and it continued after I'd left. Things like hearing whispered conversations in the back room when you were alone in the morning, bags of chips and cardboard displays moving around at night night and handprints appearing on the clean glass covering the line where we kept the sandwich ingredients. Very interesting. I. I also say what you were bringing up. I wanted to say that I was getting into a little like for some reason a hole of ghost stories at the Luxor in Vegas. Oh, and how apparently the Luxor in Vegas is the most haunted location in all of Vegas. And the the ghost folds your clothes. That's weird. Against your will. Like, you show up and you you have unpacked and then you come back into the room and the ghosts have folded up clothes and have left them on the bed. Yeah. And then you go and say, has someone been in my room? And Luxor apparently has a policy where they don't acknowledge it.
Eddie
Luxor isn't that old either. I remember seeing the Luxor get built when I was a kid.
Henry Zabrowski
And there's also multiple suicides in the luxury. There's been many suicides in the Luxor. They also.
Eddie
People jumping off.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Well, no. Well, in the room.
Eddie
Oh, in the rooms, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
No, they wait to jump off when they get to Disney.
Eddie
Yes. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Two suicides in the last 10 days. I heard it was five now.
Eddie
Five deaths.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah.
Eddie
But two of them were suicides at the Contemporary. One person jumped, and one person was found in their room. Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Imagine spending that much money just to commit suicide.
Eddie
I mean, who cares if you're committing.
Henry Zabrowski
Suicide if I'm spending that kind of money? I'm in France.
Eddie
Really?
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, buddy.
Eddie
Maybe they.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm doing this in Europe.
Eddie
I think a lot of people go to Disney to kind of forget their problems. And when they get there, they realize that not only did they not forget their problems, but they know they're completely broke now, too.
Henry Zabrowski
I'm in a haunted. Mention of my errors.
Eddie
Yes. And the problems have just increased.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes, yes. Very much so. Right back to the sandwich shop. I thought it was fascinating. Forgot about that. I forgot about the committed spirit suicide in Disneyland. It's hard.
Eddie
No, he landed.
Henry Zabrowski
And the guy who jumped landed right where they serve brunch with the characters.
Eddie
Apparently. Apparently. I. I've heard that, but I have. No one has officially reported that, but I was. I don't know where else they're gonna land.
Henry Zabrowski
It's got to be scary to find a guy wherever the breakfast is. So have you ever been as a pancake.
Eddie
Have you ever been to the Contemporary? Rob? The Contemporary is the hotel that the train runs through. And it's built kind of like the Luxor.
Henry Zabrowski
How?
Eddie
There's just rooms along the side. It's like a big atrium in the middle. And then someone jumped off the side into the middle. Like, in the middle of the hours. Y. Yeah. Yeah. So, like, that's how they decided to do it.
Henry Zabrowski
And it was kind of crazy because there was a high school dive team there, and one of the coaches just went 10. All right, here we go.
Eddie
So.
Henry Zabrowski
It'S spooky.
Eddie
It's spooky time.
Henry Zabrowski
One night, I was working a closing shift, and it was up on the line alone. Two managers in the back employee area. The bell at the front door chimed. A customer walked In. Now, this bell sound was triggered by a motion detector at floor level on the small foyer just beyond the door, not by any movement of the door itself. So anybody entering had to pass through the motion detector, which then would make the bell go off. In this case, it was a middle aged man in a fedora style hat and a long wool pea coat. A strange choice for most seasons of Texas weather, which is why I remember it so clearly. I greeted him when I glanced back down at the task that I'm in the middle of. And since he still had a walk across the lobby, I timed to finish up before he reached me. When I looked up again, the man was gone. My first thought was that he must have turned around and gone to the bathrooms because I hadn't heard the doorbell. So there's no way that he'd left. A couple of minutes later, felt a cold chill run down my spine with the realization that the man couldn't have gone to the bathroom. He couldn't even have entered the restaurant. We've already been closed for the night and I'd locked the front door. I shrieked for the managers who checked the entire place. The front door was indeed locked, the bathrooms were empty, and the man in a long coat was nowhere to be found.
Eddie
Wow.
Henry Zabrowski
See, those are kind of things that, like, you know, like, you never know.
Eddie
We had something similar like that happen to Hooters. Gonna sound crazy. One night we came in and they were asking all of us if we like came into the store the last night. Anyone who had keys, you know, and we're like, now there's a lot of.
Henry Zabrowski
Skittery characters in Tallahassee, especially at the time.
Eddie
For sure, for sure. But there was on the camera footage. There was footage of an old lady walking around inside the Hooters that night when it was closed and no alarm ever went off. Stuff like to open or close the doors, man.
Henry Zabrowski
Ghost. Lesbian.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, just there.
Henry Zabrowski
Leftover titty ghosts. Where are the ladies?
Eddie
It's like, you're late. There's a story.
Henry Zabrowski
Do you see? The Tallahassee Hooters is fighting because they are, they believe, and they're fighting to get more black ladies in the restaurant.
Eddie
What are you talking about? It got torn down.
Henry Zabrowski
They said, no, there's some. One of these Hooters came out and they said they're fighting to get Tallahassee.
Eddie
Hooters is gone. Yeah, yeah, it's demolished. Yeah, I got it. Someone sent me a photo, man.
Henry Zabrowski
They. Someone should have brought you one of the signs like that. H or something.
Eddie
I Went right before I left, right before, like last year. I went real quick once just to like, you know, go to, you know, my old stomping grounds and stuff. I got a shirt, so I'm good.
Henry Zabrowski
Of course.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, that's nice.
Eddie
Yeah. I do know what I would like, if anyone out there has it? I would love one of those Hooters plates. Oh, yeah, I like those. I know that. Those plastic wood plates.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah. Bring us one of the women.
Eddie
Yeah, no, I, you know, I knew them. They're fine.
Henry Zabrowski
No, they're nice.
Eddie
You know what I mean? Yeah. The Hooters girls are wonderful, but, you know.
Henry Zabrowski
Oh, you got your story.
Eddie
Oh, yes. So I'm sorry. I was looking at all that. Rob was pulling up hooters merch and I got distracted.
Henry Zabrowski
Easy to get deeper.
Eddie
I do love Hooters merch, man. Remember when they had an arena football team and an airline?
Henry Zabrowski
I do. I remember the airline.
Eddie
The airline where they were like the stewardesses were dressed like hooter girls and they serve chicken wings in the. In the air was pretty great. I can't believe it didn't last.
Henry Zabrowski
The mid-90s had a rash of really fun micro businesses that went nowhere. You remember Sega tv? Oh, yeah, like. Like that. We had a lot of cool stuff we didn't get.
Eddie
This one's a spooky pasta. Is that all right?
Henry Zabrowski
Yes, of course. No, read the spooky pasta.
Eddie
This one's called spooky pasta in the woods by party. Brett. I'm an avid outdoor guy. I like to fish, hunt, ride motorcycles and have recently gotten to over landing as I starting to get a little older. This. What does overlanding mean? I don't even know what that means. Overlanding. He's getting into overlanding.
Henry Zabrowski
I don't know.
Eddie
Overlanding. What is it? Overlanding is a form of self reliant adventure travel where the journey is the primary goal. Cool. Typically involving a vehicle traveling to a remote destination. Well, good for you, Brad. So he's gotten into overlanding recently as I'm starting to get older. This tale happened about 15 years ago after a bad breakup. I was in a private campground out in the Olympic peninsula in Washington state. It was a real rainy weekend, but I needed some outdoor time and I have a pretty nice gear, so I went anyway. Campground was empty. Not even anyone in the room office. I figured I'd just slip some some cash for the mail slot for my rental site fee and enjoy my alone time. Turned on my little speaker and started my fire. Cooked some supper and started to Just enjoy the sound of the rain hitting my popup and stay close to the fire. That's when I heard a very distinct loud voice. Is it safe? I turned off my music because I thought the rain and the alone time was playing tricks on me. Not to mention I was about four beers and a glass of whiskey in. And about a minute later from another direction I heard, is it safe? And then from the first direction, immediately after, is it safe? Not 30 seconds later from three different directions.
Henry Zabrowski
Is it safe?
Eddie
Is it safe? Is it safe? So I went to my truck, grabbed my shotgun, loaded it, racked it and put one more in the tube. Safe for who? I asked loudly. That's when I heard rustling in the brush of people running and then a car start to speed off. Didn't sleep much that night. Moved to a different part of the peninsula the next night to enjoy the rest of my. My vacation. Stay safe out there, guys. Not every scare is supernatural and not every predator is four legged.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, Creepypastas, man is the most dangerous animal of all. You know, I'm excited. I mean, you're bit. What are you doing? Halloween.
Eddie
Halloween. I'm in the air, baby.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, that's right. Because you're already on the way to Florida.
Eddie
I'm going to Florida early because I got a show in Miami the night before the cruise. If you guys are hanging out before the cruise, if you're coming in Miami at the dead flamingo at 9pm That's Sunday night. I'm doing a standup show just to kind of warm up for the cruise a little bit.
Henry Zabrowski
We're doing Crime Wave at sea all next week. We will be. We're going to be put. Obviously nothing changes about our release schedule. All the stuff will be coming out, but we will be floating and we will be entertaining people that love murder.
Eddie
That's right.
Henry Zabrowski
Won't we, Eddie?
Eddie
Yes.
Henry Zabrowski
And try not to get murdered ourselves by them.
Eddie
Also, if you have any like good murder murder at Sea stories, send them in the side stories lpotl.com we could probably use it@gmail.com we could probably use.
Henry Zabrowski
It for the show and not the recent Netflix one. There was that story. I think it's Amanda Taylor.
Eddie
I don't know.
Henry Zabrowski
Amanda Brown, I believe the lady that fell off the cruise boat because there's still. No, we don't have any concrete leads on that. And I still, I still kind of feel like she might have fallen off the boat, but we don't know.
Eddie
A lot of people fall off boats.
Henry Zabrowski
A lot of people fall off Boats. It's really crazy, but not on us.
Eddie
Yeah. Also after the cruise, though, if you're sticking around, I'm going to be in Orlando on November 8th doing dead men Tell Some Tales, which is my dark Disney story, which I'm sure we'll probably cover in depth. This. This crazy suicide over at the Contemporary resort. Yeah. But come check that out. That's going to be at the Conduit.
Henry Zabrowski

Henry Zabrowski
But, you know, you just gotta. That's why you don't go to Hollywood.

Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
All right, just this once for this weekend. There. It's good. I really do believe it is a healthy experience for child. Not like scarab, like Joseph Fritzel.
Eddie
Like, that's not scaring, that's abuse.
Henry Zabrowski
Yes. I don't mean abuse them. I mean scare them. I mean set up scenarios where they don't know whether or not the house is haunted or not. Do what Eddie's family did to him, probably.
Eddie
I even. I still believe that's probably the best case scenario, but I feel like my dad would have folded and be like, got your ass.
Henry Zabrowski
Of course he would.
Eddie
Yeah. That's the thing. My dad would have been like, got you, you idiot. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I don't think my dad did it.
Henry Zabrowski
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Just if you're out there, this is the, a great time to make Halloween special for your kids by scaring the ever living out of them. Pay an old buddy to hang out in the room. I like, that's a bunch of.
Eddie
In their underwear drawer.
Henry Zabrowski
Pay some of that. Like, how much fun would that be if you. I mean, like, maybe I'll just do that to see. Now break into his home. I know how to get into his home. Right. And I just hide in there. Right. And I'm just scared. I just scare him. Yeah, right. Just for the sake of like, oh, it's Halloween, anything can happen. It's like Santa Claus.
Eddie
Oh, that could be good. You, you dressed fully as Santa Claus with your guts coming out of your belly. And then you just like a little sign with a little suicide note next to you and say that, you know.
Henry Zabrowski
You weren't good enough. Yeah, I committed suicide because you weren't good enough. And then you have the note delivered by Art the Clown, who we know. Like, we get David Howard Thorton to come over and he's just like.
Eddie
May.
Henry Zabrowski
Be kind of fun.
Eddie
Yeah.
Henry Zabrowski
You know, we never get to have fun, don't we?

Episode Date: October 29, 2025
Hosts: Henry Zabrowski & Ed Larson
Theme: Personal Hauntings, Halloween Ghost Stories, and Listener Paranormal Tales
This Halloween special Side Stories episode takes a break from the heavy themes of their main feed’s World War II coverage to focus on the paranormal. The highlight is Ed Larson sharing, in detail for the first time, a lifetime of his personal encounters with the supernatural—from haunted childhood bedrooms in New Jersey, to poltergeist activity in Florida, and odd, unexplainable ghostly phenomena. The show embraces its signature mix of humor, skepticism, and genuine fright, making for a raucous ghost story session befitting the spooky season.
Seasonal banter about Halloween merch, costuming, and touring in Humboldt County, praising the local cannabis culture and crowd interactions.
Henry and Ed explain their current Halloween costumes (Henry as a chili pepper, Ed as a beer glass) and lament the realities of adult digestive issues interfering with seasonal enjoyment.
Notable moment: Henry recounts injuring his back while trying to perform a risqué bit on stage during their Humboldt show.
“It was perfect for what? To help me with the pulled muscle I currently have in my back because I wanted to do the funny bit of sucking my own dick on stage.” —Henry Zabrowski (05:31)
Reflection on how the lengthy WWII series impacted their Halloween energy.
Expressed desire to “get spooky” and return to more paranormal topics, justifying a special focus on ghost stories for this episode.
“The audience sometimes, they do want paranormal, but they don’t really like paranormal. But this time, we’re going to see how it goes.” —Henry Zabrowski (18:17)
Ed sets the stage: an old house where multiple relatives experienced inexplicable ghostly activity—breathing through intercoms, being held down in bed, lights turning on in the attic, a “haunted” middle room, and a medium’s visit confirming the haunting.
Familial generational experiences (Ed, cousins, mother, aunt, and a mentally challenged uncle all had their own frightful moments).
Mafia backstory: The medium reveals the haunting is linked to a murdered family named Vito, victims of mafia violence.
Ed’s six-year-old cousin, never told about the ghosts, later tells the family she “misses the children… used to play with” in the house—corroborating sightings of spirit children.
“Several times it would feel like I was being held down in that bed in the middle room… and we would just be like, ‘Oh, he’s just screaming and stuff.’ But then after the medium came, they were like, ‘That room’s haunted.’” —Ed Larson (25:14–27:28)
“We’re all out to lunch at TGI Fridays… and my little cousin was like, ‘I miss the children that I used to play with there.’ …We were all just like, frozen.” —Eddie (30:44–30:57)
After Ed’s mother and her twin both die on July 19, three years apart, Ed’s aunt receives a call from Ed’s dead mother’s number on the day her brother dies—the morgue calling to report her brother’s death.
“So she gets a call. She looks in the ID, says my mom—she picks up the phone, and it’s the morgue. Telling her that her fucking brother is in the morgue.” —Ed Larson (32:41–32:46)
Cemetery-adjacent school: Ed and his mom both see a bluish shadow figure, which the car physically drives through; the locks then go haywire. Years later, a friend experiences the exact same apparition and weird lock activity in the same spot.
In their newer, supposedly “not-haunted” suburban development, Ed and his neighbors experience unexplained poltergeist-like phenomena, including objects moving or appearing out of nowhere, physical manifestations (books falling oddly), and seeing shadow figures inside their homes.
Ed tells a particularly eerie story of seeing a blue, faceless shape in a chair, thinking it was his father, but the entity doesn’t respond.
“Me and my mom, we see this… shadowy blue figure in the middle of the road… and then all of a sudden, once we get in the car, all of the locks in the car start going up and down. Like a spasm.” —Ed Larson (34:48–35:47)
“My room was right before me and my buddies, we were about to go see Independence Day in the theater… and a book falls off of the speaker… and then I look back and the book’s back on the middle of the ground… then I saw the book… go to the ground. And it didn’t fall normal…” —Ed Larson (38:58–39:36)
“We see, like, a man sitting in the chair in the darkness… no answer… the figure just like, sitting there… then the door shut behind us, and that was just fucking weird.” —Ed Larson (40:09–41:45)
Despite numerous chilling personal experiences, Ed remains a ghost skeptic:
“Technically, I think it’s stupid, but I can’t explain this shit. …If someone could prove it to me… I think when we die, we become dirt.” —Ed Larson (19:36)
“He says he feels the ghosts are a waste of time. These are the best ghost stories we’ve all heard. …He doesn’t believe in ghosts!” —Henry Zabrowski (36:32)
Henry and Ed debate the roles of “sensitive people” vs. “haunted places”—settling on the combo being key for paranormal events.
They touch on the idea that frequent marijuana use might reduce one’s susceptibility to such experiences.
“There are people that can see it, and I think that there are places that have it. And they have to be together.” —Henry Zabrowski (43:59)
“I’ve heard… weed dampens your ability to have contact with the other side. Weed’s bad for magic.” —Henry Zabrowski (45:01)
Ed reads a chilling “spooky pasta” about a man camping alone in the woods who hears voices from different directions asking “Is it safe?”, ultimately realizing he’s not alone and arming himself, only for human predators to run off.
“Not every scare is supernatural and not every predator is four legged.” —Ed reading “spooky pasta” fan tale (57:21)
On trying to perform on stage in costume:
“I just feel your clothes were just slowly coming off. I had to redress Henry on stage multiple times.” —Eddie, on Henry’s plus-size Edward Scissorhands moment (09:39)
On the paranormal and parental pranks:
“Set up scenarios where they don’t know whether or not the house is haunted or not. Do what Eddie’s family did to him, probably.” —Henry (62:24)
On the fatalism of life and death:
“I want you to be…cost $60 to come pay, you know, your dues to me, you know… Look at his balls. Wow. Did they add to his balls?” —Henry and Eddie, envisioning Ed’s corpse displayed in the Bodies exhibit (20:32–21:02)
On fan involvement:
“Here’s a call: If you’re an engineer in the clothing industry and you want to work with me—Side stories lpotl gmail.com to make a standing up underwear for the egg shaped man!” —Henry (12:14)
On Halloween safety:
“Be safe. Make good choices… Don’t do pcp. … As parents, I think you guys…are being too kind to their children. Scare your kids.” —Henry (62:12–62:23)
This episode is a quintessential Side Stories blend of wild storytelling, self-deprecating humor, and candid reminiscing, all wrapped in the irreverent but enthusiastic tone that makes Last Podcast so beloved. Personal stories of hauntings, skepticism, and childhood trauma both amuse and spook, providing the perfect Halloween treat for fans. Whether you’re a believer or not, the sincerity and detail in Ed’s stories—bolstered by moments from listeners—make for a genuinely engaging and occasionally chilling hour.
Happy Halloween from Side Stories!
