The episode kicks off with the hosts engaging in their trademark playful banter, discussing everything from vampire-themed cereals to their impending Halloween festivities. As Halloween approaches, Amanda expresses her excitement about the spooky atmosphere they're creating, mentioning props like candles, tarot cards, old books, cobwebs, and a fog machine.

Shane shares his and Courtney's meticulously planned costumes: Ryan Gosling from Blade Runner 2049, complete with a hologram scene setup. Amanda contemplates various costume ideas, including iconic 90s characters like Harrison Ford and Wonder Woman, ultimately reflecting on the blend of comfort and recognition in her costume choices.

Notable Quote:

Amanda [01:15]: "I don't have a Halloween costume, which is actually a crime and a horror in my book because I always plan out my costumes."

With the stage set for a spooky season, the hosts announce that the episode will delve into ghost stories and paranormal experiences shared by their friends and colleagues at Smosh. Shane notes, "almost most people here at this job have ghost stories," setting the tone for the eerie tales to follow.

3. Guest Story: Chance’s Paranormal Apartment Experience (08:03 – 24:15)

Chance, a recurring guest on the podcast, recounts his unsettling experiences while living in an apartment in North Hollywood. Over several years, he sensed a female presence, hearing unexplained sounds like a garbage can lid swinging and feeling a figure on the stairs. The climax of his story occurs one night when multiple paranormal activities converge:

• Rattling Sounds: Chance describes hearing intense rattling from the AC system, leading him to contact his roommate, who confirmed experiencing the same noises.

• Physical Manifestations: The following day, during a cleansing ritual with Palo Santo and Sage, chaos ensues with objects falling and breaking, culminating in the apparent expulsion of the ghost.

Notable Quotes:

Chance [11:07]: "So, yeah, Amanda, our first guest to tell us his actual ghost story is Tommy Bo."

Amanda [13:24]: "Nighttime, scary time."

Shane [17:16]: "Or was it just like."

Chance [17:58]: "After the feeling was gone. After that, did you look up?"

4. Guest Story: Noah’s High-Induced Paranormal Encounter (27:31 – 43:54)

Noah shares a bizarre and intense encounter that occurred after consuming an exorbitant dose of a marijuana-infused brownie (1000 mg). The potent dosage led to severe hallucinations, blurring the lines between reality and his altered state:

• Paranormal Apparitions: While under the influence, Noah felt the presence of both a ghost and an alien in his room. He describes attempted confrontations, heightened fear, and physical sensations that made the experience feel overwhelmingly real.

• Climactic Moment: As Noah attempted a "surprise attack" on the perceived intruders, the door violently slammed shut. Amidst panic, he experiences what feels like a standoff between the ghost and alien, ultimately passing out from an anxiety attack.

Notable Quotes:

Noah [29:20]: "So, yeah, Amanda, our second guest to tell us his actual ghost story is Noah."

Noah [33:23]: "I was like, Ghost is gonna kill me, whoever they are. And I. At this point, I accept it."

Amanda [38:00]: "No, the dog there. He showed up on my porch."

5. Guest Story: Tommy Bo’s Haunted Civil War Plantation and Meth Lab (45:16 – 63:20)

Tommy Bo narrates his chilling experiences related to haunted sites in Franklin, Tennessee, a region steeped in Civil War history:

• Childhood Encounters: During school field trips to the Carter Plantation, Tommy and his classmates witnessed apparitions, leading to unexplained phenomena like objects moving without cause.

• Senior Year Adventure: Driven by curiosity and teenage bravado, Tommy and his friends decided to explore the supposedly haunted plantation at night. Their late-night venture was fraught with eerie sounds and an inexplicable sighting of a chicken perched impossibly high on a pole. Shortly after fleeing the site in terror, they discovered the building had been used as a meth lab, adding a sinister layer to their ghostly encounters.

Notable Quotes:

Tommy Bo [46:27]: "So, yeah, Franklin, Tennessee, just so much, like, unended suffering that is, like, going on into the afterlife, I think, is what's going on there."

Shane [50:02]: "Wow."

Tommy Bo [52:55]: "How did that chicken get on that pole?"

Count Chocula.

[Shane]

Yeah. And booberry. And. And Frankenberry.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. Too sweet.

[Shane]

Anyways, today we're gonna have a bunch of guests.

[Amanda]

I'm super excited about it because it is almost Halloween. And we are telling. If you are just listening. We have candles. We have tarot cards. We have old books.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

That no one opens and reads that.

[Shane]

No, these books have never been opened.

[Amanda]

They're covered in dust.

[Shane]

They've been props for years.

[Amanda]

We have cobwebs and we have just smoke.

[Shane]

We have a fog machine. Well, the fog machine we have is stellar.

[Amanda]

It's. Is it the machine or did we leave the window open and we.

[Shane]

Or we started. We started smoking. Oh, my God, there's something scary. Everyone at Smosh started smoking all at the same time. We all got hooked.

[Amanda]

That would be so sad.

[Shane]

That would suck.

[Amanda]

Sad.

[Shane]

That would suck. So you as of recording this, because this is. This is. Halloween's a couple days away as of this airing, but as of recording this a couple weeks before. You don't have a Halloween costume.

[Amanda]

I don't have a Halloween costume, which is actually a crime and a horror in my book because I always plan out my costumes. I love Halloween, but I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened this year. I just.

[Shane]

It just slips away. I find every year, except for this year. This year, finally, Courtney and I planned something.

[Amanda]

Can you tell us what your Halloween costume is?

[Shane]

So I'm going to be Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049. And we're. Specifically, our costume is that scene with the big hologram. So Courtney's gonna be all pink with blue hair, and we're gonna do the whole thing where I'm sitting there staring up and then.

[Amanda]

That is awesome. Can I play Harrison Ford?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

Go ahead. Yep.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. I should be frickin Tommy Lee Jones or Harrison Ford or anyone who I love from the 90s.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

And just no one will know. No one will recognize me, and I'll give them a movie that they've never heard of.

[Shane]

Like, okay, cool.

[Amanda]

Awesome.

[Shane]

You somehow look like Michael Myers from Halloween. Do you have an old man mask on?

[Amanda]

I. I will say, I was telling you, it is very hard to top my costume last year where I played the nun yeah. And then brought it back.

[Shane]

You played the nun multiple times.

[Amanda]

Yeah. For Bit City.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I just feel comfortable.

[Shane]

Peter Yee it Bit City.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Halloween. Just all the time.

[Amanda]

She's so comfortable. I love being a horrifying nun because nobody speaks to you at parties.

[Shane]

Oh, that's a. There's. There.

[Amanda]

People don't approach you.

[Shane]

Huh. I never thought about that.

[Amanda]

Yeah. It was kind of like. I was like, wow, this is what it feels like to be at a party and just have, like, people, like, avoid you.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And avoid eye contact.

[Shane]

That's. That's really interesting.

[Amanda]

And my husband played the priest. Any priest.

[Shane]

I feel like at most Halloween parties, the actually genuinely scary costumes are usually the rarest.

[Amanda]

I know.

[Shane]

No, for the most part, go silly. Whereas I feel like back when. When we were kids in the 90s, it was mostly scary.

[Amanda]

Oh, it was people. Very scary.

[Shane]

More. And then some in, like, the past couple decades.

[Amanda]

People like dogs or bunnies or like, it's like a couple. They're like, I'm a cat. And our kids. Our kids. A little cat.

[Shane]

Mostly silly now. I think it used. There. You see a lot more scary stuff. Maybe it's also just like, teenagers tend to go more scary stuff. I don't know.

[Amanda]

I think scary is. I think it's so funny to walk up to a house party and be like, hey, oh, my God, it's good to see you. And I'm just a random guy sitting on the couch and he's wearing, like, a Jason mask.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And. Or Michael Myers mask. And I'm like, I love that shit.

[Shane]

I am notoriously, really lazy with Halloween because I don't love putting on costumes. But what also has happened to me for, like, the past 10 years is July hits and I go, I should. I should think about what I'm going to do for Halloween this year so I can have a couple months to kind of plan it out and get the stuff ready before. Before the rush happens. And it's hard to get a costume. Yeah, the rush. But then Suddenly it's like, October 25th.

[Amanda]

That's what's happening.

[Shane]

And I'm like, what the. What the hell happened? I literally had a year where it was before a Halloween party and I didn't even have a costume. It's like an hour before, and I truly wrapped my entire body in toilet paper.

[Amanda]

That's horrible.

[Tommy Bo]

You know what?

[Shane]

You know what?

[Amanda]

What were you.

[Shane]

Well, I. I was like, I'm a mummy. And then people were like, oh, you're the invisible man. I was like, yeah, Right. That's what I am.

[Amanda]

To me, you're a house that's been TP'd.

[Shane]

There you go.

[Amanda]

Have you ever TP'd a house?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Shane]

We teepee to house.

[Amanda]

You're wild. You should be arrested. That's insane.

[Shane]

Have you ever TP'd house?

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Oh.

[Chance]

Oh.

[Shane]

You're wild.

[Amanda]

It's crazy. You throw it up on the tree and then you run for your life. I wonder what I'm going to be this year. I don't know. I'm really into Rings of Power, which I know everyone's like, okay, it's slow, but, like, maybe I'll be Sauron.

[Shane]

Sure, Sauron. Lord of the Rings stuff is awesome.

[Amanda]

I know, but I need, like, a straight wig. I need to get the ears.

[Shane]

It's a tough one.

[Amanda]

And they talk really, like, drawn out, so people might avoid me as well.

[Shane]

Interesting.

[Amanda]

Or I'll be Wonder Woman. I've played Wonder Woman a couple times, and I love being one.

[Shane]

That's badass. That's really cool.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Interesting. So, speaking of Halloween, today's episode, we are talking about ghost stories that people here that we work with have experienced.

[Amanda]

People have experienced a lot of ghost stories where we work. Like, there's a lot going on.

[Shane]

We have a couple coming on. But I feel like almost most people here at this, at this job have ghost stories. We've heard some insane ones. Marcus told a story about being possessed once.

[Amanda]

Oh, I remember that. And, and you, you don't really believe in ghosts?

[Shane]

I'm skeptical, but I have. Look, I think everybody experiences things they can't explain in their life. And I've had plenty of things that I'm, I, I, to this day, I'm like, I don't know what that was.

[Amanda]

Love.

[Tommy Bo]

It was love.

[Shane]

It was clearly love.

[Amanda]

Complicated.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Now, I don't jump. I think the difference between me and a lot of people, I don't, I just don't jump to. That's a ghost. I go, this is what happened? And I don't know what it was.

[Amanda]

See, I'm immediately, like, a believer. I'm like, okay, this house is buried on. This house is on sacred ground. There's someone buried and they're coming, and they want you to find the clues to who murdered them.

[Shane]

Interesting. See, I, I'm hesitant to believe in things hardcore because then, then I will start to piece together all the reasons to prove myself that it's correct. I try to, I, I try to doubt.

[Amanda]

You get.

[Shane]

I doubt because I, I, I want to know for sure if it's real. And so if I am doubting something and trying to prove it wrong and it's still. Then I'm like, then. Then it's. Then it's.

[Amanda]

Then you can't sleep, then you're upset.

[Shane]

Then I'm like, oh, God. Now it's absolutely real. But if we have time, towards the end of this episode, we can talk about our ghost stories, because have you. You've told me about some weird stuff.

[Amanda]

I've definitely told you about some stuff. Yeah, I think you've told me about some stuff, too.

[Shane]

Told you about some stuff. I. There was a Reddit episode about a year ago where I. I told some of the stories that I've experienced. I've told it before here and there, over the years. But there's some weird. Some weird things.

[Amanda]

There's some weird stuff, guys.

[Shane]

A lot of your stuff is dreams, right?

[Amanda]

A lot of my stuff is dreams.

[Shane]

Have you ever had non dream stuff?

[Amanda]

Yeah. I mean, I'm from Massachusetts.

[Shane]

Yeah, you're from. You're from where ghosts come from?

[Amanda]

Connecticut.

[Shane]

When you die, you. When you die and you become a ghost. You do start.

[Amanda]

Welcome to Bastion.

[Noah]

Come on in.

[Amanda]

You fucking.

[Shane]

Yeah, yeah. If you say you live in California and you die, you'll wake up as a ghost in Massachusetts. You have to make your way back to California to haunt there.

[Amanda]

Correct.

[Shane]

All ghosts start in Massachusetts. That is canon.

[Amanda]

Absolutely.

[Shane]

Do we want to get on. Bring on our first.

[Amanda]

Yeah. I'm really excited about this wonderful guest. He has been on the pod before.

[Shane]

Oh, really?

[Amanda]

Yeah. Oh, you don't recognize him?

[Shane]

No.

[Amanda]

Okay, well, our first guest to tell us his actual ghost story is Tommy Bo.

[Shane]

Oh, he just came out of smoke.

[Chance]

Snl.

[Shane]

Hello, Tommy.

[Chance]

Hi.

[Amanda]

Hi, Tommy.

[Chance]

Hey.

[Amanda]

Welcome back.

[Chance]

Don't sound excited.

[Amanda]

Well, I'm getting spookified. I don't know.

[Chance]

Let's try that again.

[Amanda]

Hey, Tommy. No, no, no.

[Tommy Bo]

Hey, Tommy.

[Chance]

Hey, Tommy.

[Shane]

Hey, Tommy.

[Amanda]

Hey, Tommy. You're back again. Thanks for joining us.

[Chance]

Wow. I feel so comfortable.

[Amanda]

No. What's up, Tommy?

[Noah]

Hey.

[Chance]

It's going good. I'm here to tell a ghost story, as you both know.

[Amanda]

I'm so excited.

[Shane]

You've told this story many times, but I'm trying to recall this story, and I'm wondering when the last time I heard this.

[Amanda]

I've never heard it.

[Chance]

I don't think you've ever heard it. I think this predates you a little bit at least. I think you may have been on the main channel, but I don't think you were incorporated Yet I told this on the smosh cast when it was first around.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Chance]

Because before we were smosh mouth. Interesting. But yeah, I've told it a few times. I can't remember the other time I've told it, but I've definitely told it. I also. This is like my ghost story, so I've told a thousand times.

[Amanda]

Of course, I'm so excited. But it's different every time.

[Chance]

Yeah, just a little bit.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Chance]

All right. Are we ready?

[Amanda]

Set in 1865. I'm just kidding. No, don't blow out the candles. I'm blowing out the fake candles forever to light them.

[Chance]

Heart didn't even light them. Okay. All right, so this is. Let's see, it's what, three, four years ago? Maybe, maybe five years ago. Somewhere in there.

[Amanda]

Recent.

[Chance]

Yeah. I was living in my apartment in North Hollywood. So this is before I moved into that house that had the dog. And then I moved into my current apartment and I was living with two friends from college. Picture this. There you are. This was an often experience. We're going to start little and build up to the event.

[Amanda]

I love that.

[Shane]

Love that. Perfect.

[Chance]

I like that. The seeds were there from the start. If you look for them, you're there right now washing your dishes. You're looking down at your sink. It's like a little kind of island where it's like the sink and some cupboards and stuff like that. And to your back, right. Are a few sets of stairs, a little landing, and then a big set of stairs up to the second story. The way that the light hit that space, we had like a sunlight on top of it. But that was kind of it for lighting. When you are at this sink, you feel someone over in that stairs. You just feel it. You feel it. And sometimes if your peripherals catch it, you would see like a figure. Not any specific kind of figure, but like, you know, a tall, long thing. And when you go to look, of course it's not there, but I would feel it always like. And I would always be like, okay. I'm like, come on, girl. Leave me alone.

[Amanda]

So it's a girl.

[Chance]

It felt girl. Okay, but I don't know. Who's to say?

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Chance]

Definitely poltergeist energy, though. They were like, I'm here. Like, they wanna know. They want you to know. And so I would always be like, okay, there's like a ghost thing that hangs it on the staircase. Whatever. And one day I had my friend over and I had not talked about this to anybody except my roommate, who also said that There was that. He could feel something there. And then I. The roommate's there, my friend's there. And then I go, yeah, so we've actually been. And my friend goes, the person that stands on your. The weird ghost thing that stands on your stairs.

[Noah]

No.

[Chance]

And I, like, almost barfed because that freaked me the fuck out.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Chance]

And I was like, yeah. And he's like, yeah, I felt her. Seen her before. And I was like, okay. So then terrifying. Moving forward, things would happen. We would hear a. And then look over, and our swing top garbage can lid would just be swinging.

[Amanda]

Nope.

[Chance]

Just be swinging on its own. Okay, cool. Sometimes things would fall off the walls and we wouldn't know why. Stuff like that late at night. Especially, like, when the pandemic started happening or. No, this wasn't even. This was before. Yeah. Yeah. Well, still. Same room I was trapped in. I would, like, work on my computer, obviously. Like, it would be a desk against the wall. And I swear something like, standing right behind me, not in a menacing way. Not like, I'm gonna steal your soul, but just kind of like, hey, what are you doing? What are you working on? What are you working on? And it would just, like, be standing there. And so I would, like, feel this, like, you know, the energy on your back. And so I would, like, turn around. And one time I did turn around, and it looked like steam, like, evaporating kind of. Yeah. Also, I'm a stoner, so I was stoned.

[Amanda]

I was ha. Stoned. Ha ha.

[Chance]

So I'm not the most reliable narrator, but that was. That did happen.

[Shane]

Meanwhile, you actually turned around, went.

[Amanda]

Coughing out your own smoke.

[Chance]

Dude. There's so much crazy. So that brings us to. Oh, and also, like, things go missing all the time, but I think that's the stoner part. So now that brings us to. That brings us to, like, the night of the event.

[Amanda]

Nighttime, scary time.

[Chance]

Nighttime, scary time. So this ghost had been established. We're like, sure, yeah, whatever. I'm in bed. Okay. And the way that my room is set up is, like the diagonal on one corner is the door to the bedroom. Right next to it is the door to the bathroom, My personal bathroom.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Chance]

Across from that is. I was waiting for you to say, cool. You had your invention across from that. Very rich living with two roommates. Across from that is my bed. So just so you can, like, picture the room. It's like when I'm in bed and I'm laying down, I'm staring straight at the bathroom door. And then if I look over to the Diagonal. That's the door to the room.

[Amanda]

Okay, Open doors. Darkness.

[Chance]

So the doors are closed when I'm.

[Shane]

Both doors are closed.

[Chance]

Both doors are closed on this night. And so. Or yeah, so I hear this like scuttling, rattling, shaky thing, which it to me sounded like if like a raccoon was outside my door or like in a wall or something. It was like hard. It was just like scritchy, scratchy, crumbly, bumbly. And so I'm like, what the fuck is that? And so like I go up and like try and find like pinpoint the source. And it's like hard. I can't really pinpoint the source. I'm like, okay. And so I get out of my room and I look over and it's like where these like where storage is. So like open the storage and there's nothing there. And then I feel like it's kind of coming from up. And so like I look up and it's like, it's the AC system is where that is like the main AC unit. And I'm like, okay, maybe there's something with the ac, I don't know. But then it gets like more rattly and more like intense. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? So I text my roommate and he's like, what is that? And I was like, oh, so I'm not crazy. You can hear this? And he's like, yeah. And it's, you know, Sophia's asleep. I'm just fucking chilling here. So I was like, okay. Scary, scary, scary, scary. At least you weren't alone, right? So I go to my bed and the rattling is still happening. It's enough to where you can't fall asleep. It's like rattling. And so I'm there. And then here's the fun part, okay. The rattling sound moves from that corner across my ceiling to on top of my bed.

[Amanda]

No.

[Chance]

So the sound, I could feel the. And hear the sound go like. And then the sound stopped. And then my bathroom door opened. All the way by itself?

[Amanda]

No.

[Chance]

Uh huh. And so I was like, I went, okay. I was like, I see you, ghost. Thanks. I'm like, you got me. I'm fucking freaked out. So I put on a podcast and I was like, I hope you like this podcast. And I was playing it, cause I was just like, oh, if I talk like it's my friend, it won't kill me. So I just did that. And then I went to sleep. Somehow I fell asleep.

[Amanda]

If it wanted to kill you, it would have killed you already.

[Chance]

Exactly. So the next morning, we talked about it as a group and everyone was like, that was really scary. And so we did the Palo Santo Sage thing where we go around into every corner and we go, hey, this isn't your to go. Hey, get out of here. It's not your home. Like, sorry, girl. Like, you got to go. And we did that all over the entire apartment the next day. Everything on our walls was on the floor. Everything. Everything was on the floor. We didn't have a lot of art, but all of it was on the floor.

[Amanda]

Stop.

[Shane]

Did you. Like, when was it on the floor? Did you hear it fall off? Did you.

[Chance]

We did not hear it fall off. We came out the next morning. We were like, oh, my God. We were like, okay, someone had a fit on their way out. But since then, what, Were things broken.

[Shane]

Or was it just like.

[Chance]

No, well, one of the frames. One of the frames, like, fell apart. It was a cheap frame, but, you know, I guess when it hit the.

[Amanda]

Ground, she's just like, walking through the hall. Like, palo Santo, my ass, bitch.

[Chance]

Right. So, yeah. And then after that, there was no more ghost. We kicked her out. She just threw a fit on her way out. Isn't that great? Oh, and I must say, the. The movement of the sound, if it was in the ac, the vent was on the wall, so it would have to move, you know, in a 90 degree angle, but it moved at a 45.

[Amanda]

Your door opened by itself.

[Tommy Bo]

Right?

[Shane]

And this door never opened by itself.

[Chance]

No, you'd have. You would have to open another door to create some, like, weird vacuum situation.

[Shane]

The knob was pretty. Like it was one of the secure ones.

[Chance]

It's a.

[Shane]

Or was because, like, some. Some doors, you know, kind of like, oh, it doesn't fully shut type of situation.

[Amanda]

What he does.

[Shane]

I'm asking because it makes it scarier if it's like, no, this thing fucking.

[Chance]

I don't. I can't tell you. I was in the middle of the whole thing. I mean, it's. It's. I think it was a long handle that you push down as opposed to a twisty knob.

[Amanda]

So when the door opened, you didn't get up and shut it?

[Chance]

I can't remember if I did. I. I'm pretty sure I did.

[Amanda]

I don't know how you stayed in that room and slept.

[Chance]

I don't know either. I was definitely awake for like another hour and I was just like, sitting there, but, you know, and all the.

[Shane]

Things on the floor is. That's multiple rooms.

[Chance]

Yeah, there was some up. There was a Thing upstairs that was on the floor. And then there was. We had three pictures on the wall in our living room that was down. And then something in the hallway that was down. Yeah, so.

[Amanda]

So when you went to wash the dishes, you never then experienced the feeling or saw?

[Chance]

Nope.

[Shane]

Ever since the feeling was gone.

[Chance]

After the feeling was gone. After that, did you look up.

[Amanda]

I mean, I don't know where you look up your apartment to know any history, but, like, you know, they don't.

[Shane]

They don't have to disclose if someone died in your apartment. If you're renting.

[Amanda]

I heard this.

[Chance]

That's crazy.

[Amanda]

Isn't that insane?

[Shane]

That is a real thing. So.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

So you could be renting.

[Shane]

And the reality is, you know, if ghosts are real, if hauntings are real, LA is probably.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah, there are so.

[Shane]

Because not only are there ghosts, it's like they're sad ghosts because so many sad people.

[Chance]

I didn't make it.

[Amanda]

There's so many.

[Shane]

No, truly. I mean, the golden era of Hollywood probably left a million.

[Amanda]

How many agents are just like, I wanted an actor, and now I'm an agent, and now I'm dead renting.

[Shane]

I wanted to be an agent. That's what my dream was.

[Amanda]

No, they wanted to be an actor, and then they became an agent.

[Shane]

Became an agent.

[Amanda]

And that's why they make your life a living hell.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Kidding.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Love you.

[Chance]

Hey, if any one of you want to.

[Shane]

That's terrifying.

[Amanda]

That is so scary.

[Chance]

Yeah. That was like. I've had little ghost things before, but this was the first, like, physical.

[Amanda]

No, that's evidence.

[Chance]

There was a sound. There was, like, physical movement.

[Shane]

That's very scary that you already were up going, this is weird. And talking to your roommate about, this is weird. And then a door opened.

[Chance]

Yeah.

[Shane]

You know, it's not like all the weird stuff happened. You're like, what's going on? And then it's kind of, like, done, you know, by that point, it's. No.

[Chance]

They had my attention, and then they were like, check this out.

[Amanda]

Do you know what's crazy is I have heard that Palo Santos. It's like. It's very. It comes from a lot of different tribes, and it, like, gets rid of bad spirits and bad energy. But a medium once told me when I had a bunch of nightmares to do that, and it actually fucking works.

[Chance]

Wow.

[Amanda]

If you, like, speak to it. My sister, of course, once was, like, clapping in each part of my apartment, being, like, getting the energy out. Clapping the energy out. And I could not. I was like, I can't with this.

[Noah]

Who.

[Amanda]

What are you clapping?

[Chance]

When it's burning a piece of wood, you're like, I'm in.

[Amanda]

When it's burning a piece of wood that, like, has history. I'm like, yeah, of course.

[Chance]

It smells so good.

[Amanda]

It smells so, so good.

[Chance]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Have you used it?

[Tommy Bo]

What?

[Chance]

Palo Santo?

[Shane]

No.

[Chance]

It's great. It's a. It's wood and you burn it and it smells really nice.

[Tommy Bo]

Yep.

[Shane]

That's cool. So it's like a wood thing that you burn around.

[Amanda]

It's wood that you burn.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Tommy Bo]

So.

[Shane]

Cuz I just. You're like. When you're saying saging, it's not sage. It's. It's.

[Amanda]

You can't. No, no, no. Sage is different. Sage is like leaves.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And Palos Santos is wood.

[Chance]

That's what he was asking. Is sage. Sage? It is sage.

[Shane]

Right. But you're saying about saging your house, but you're using wood. You're. But then you're saying wood.

[Chance]

I did both. I had Palo Santo. A ball, like a. Like a thing of. And we were just going like, hey. Because you know when. When your doors open on their own and there's rattling noises that wake you up at night? It's like, well, I need to sleep now. I'm kicking you out. Now I gotta kick you out.

[Shane]

Do something.

[Amanda]

Gotta do something.

[Shane]

See, I would wish I In. If I was in that situation. I mean, I'd probably be scared and I'd be like, let's do whatever. But it's. It is sad that you can't figure out who lived there. What? Because you kind of almost wish you could resolve whatever.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

Like, if I'm a ghost someday, I'd be like, oh, man. If there's something I needed to do, I w. Wish I could communicate that.

[Amanda]

See, that's what I always think. I always think they're trying to communicate, like, oh, yeah. They're like, hey, I was. I was here, right? And this happened, and we have to find that guy.

[Shane]

They're like, I want to kill the landlord. I'm like, so do I.

[Amanda]

The rest. So high.

[Shane]

Sounds like we've got a plan.

[Chance]

The trash chute never works.

[Tommy Bo]

I know.

[Shane]

I want to go to the Glendale Galleria. It's like, all right, let's go hop in.

[Chance]

The car door slowly opens on its terrible.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Chance]

So that's the. That's the quick little post adventure.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Chance]

Eventually I moved out. I also had this then. This is also part of a smosh lore of the past. I had this painting that when I Was in New York. I was walking down the street and it kind of hypnotized me. And I was like, I'm going to buy this painting. And it was of, I don't know what culture. It was a woman and her head was kind of off center, which was strange. And she had like half of a background behind her that was like, maybe you're sitting in front of a house, but there were like bottles on the ground and like luggage. It was very like, and it was very like sepia based and just had this weird energy to it, but in a way that was like, this is kind of awesome. She was waiting for the train, something. And so I had that in my apartment for a while. And then after that I was like, when I moved out of that apartment, I was like, maybe the painting is also not doing good things for me. So, yeah, I ripped it open because I thought there'd be a letter inside. There wasn't.

[Amanda]

Oh my God, a letter.

[Chance]

I thought there would be.

[Amanda]

I was like, you have found me. My father left me here by the train. But yeah, that's a horror movie.

[Chance]

So, yeah, that's the story.

[Amanda]

I'm glad that you are free of the spirit.

[Chance]

Yes. And I am.

[Amanda]

Who seems just a little bit mischievous.

[Chance]

Now I'll just see little like, I think there's like a ghost cat or dog in my current apartment.

[Shane]

Interesting.

[Chance]

Because, like, I'll see like on the ground, like, I'll see little like shadow, like movements, but like in the, like the lower end of the floor, you know?

[Shane]

Interesting.

[Chance]

And I'm just like, oh, there's probably a cat here at one point.

[Amanda]

Maybe they're still there.

[Chance]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Oh, man.

[Chance]

Maybe. And maybe they're taking my keys and putting them in places that I went. Why are they here?

[Amanda]

No, honey, that's you.

[Shane]

That's all.

[Amanda]

My keys are in the fridge. That damn cat.

[Shane]

Dang.

[Tommy Bo]

Wow.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Chance]

Real or not real?

[Shane]

Well, I mean, we don't.

[Amanda]

Wait, are you, are you saying you made it all up?

[Chance]

No, I'm saying. What? Do you believe me?

[Amanda]

I believe you.

[Shane]

I believe you.

[Chance]

Okay.

[Shane]

I, I, I want to tell me these stories. I'm like, I believe everything that you just said, but do you think it.

[Amanda]

Was before you sat down?

[Chance]

Do you think. Thank you. Do you think it was a ghost?

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Amanda]

I mean, he probably thinks it's someone from like a different dimension, maybe.

[Chance]

So you believe in different dimensions, but not a ghost? I gotta say that I don't believe.

[Shane]

I have the same Feeling about all of it where I'm like, I don't know, I was just having fun.

[Chance]

Yeah. I personally don't know if I believe in ghosts fully because I feel like there's like a wait. So how does that line up to the. You know. But I do believe in like, energy stamping.

[Amanda]

I. I believe in like, energy. I believe in people like not figuring out where exactly where to go so they get caught in these, like, places. That's what I think ghosts are.

[Chance]

Yeah. I think they're like repeated moments.

[Shane]

That's always. That's a thought that I've always had too.

[Chance]

Like, if I'm gonna cry in that corner over and over and over again, then a hundred years from now there's gonna be some fucked up energy in that corner.

[Shane]

Well, it's. It's kinda like imagine, Imagine you live in a house and you're like. Say you're in a relationship and you live in a house and you have just the most toxic, awful breakup ever.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Shane]

You both move out of that house, but then someday, 10 years later, you move back to that house and you're in it. Would. Would you. Could you be haunted by your own experiences and experience that stuff and like, could weird stuff. Just because I'm also like. I'm also like. The human brain is mysterious in so many ways that I'm like, does do our own beliefs literally affect the physical environment around us sometimes? You know, like, that's. I think that's what I mean when I'm a skeptic of just like. I'm like, there's a million possible. The devil.

[Amanda]

The card says yes.

[Chance]

World cards.

[Shane]

But that's.

[Amanda]

I kind of agree with memories also. You can smell a scent and be like, oh, oh.

[Noah]

The amount my piano teacher.

[Chance]

Right. The amount of times a smell has shot me back into some memory. I never thought.

[Amanda]

Dude. One time I was. I was waitressing and I went up to a girl and I was like, you smell like my piano teacher. And she was like, I'm kind of offended. And I was like, no, no, no. I mean, she was intense and a great woman. And she was like older and whatever. And she was like, I'm still getting older.

[Chance]

You smell like an intense old woman. Thank you.

[Amanda]

And I was like, what are you wearing? And she was like, 100% patchouli. And I was like, well, that's what it is.

[Chance]

There you go.

[Amanda]

I was like, she wore patchouli and I thought she smoked weed. And I just offered too much information. So don't do that. Don't do that when a smell trigger something.

[Chance]

Well, I'll leave you with this. I hate patchouli. I think the smell is that's why.

[Shane]

The ghost haunted you.

[Chance]

Yep.

[Amanda]

I kind of slightly agree. Well, thank you so much, Tommy Bo.

[Chance]

Thank you.

[Amanda]

Don't burn yourself on the way out. These are real candles.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Chance]

Go tata.

[Amanda]

I wish we had sage now. Yeah, like sage and Palo Santos.

[Shane]

Wow, that's crazy. No, If I was in a room and a door opened on its own, I gotta leave.

[Amanda]

For me, feelings are. Are one thing. Physical, because I feel like that's awful. To move something physical is strong.

[Shane]

I've never seen something move, like, on its own. Oh, I mean, well.

[Amanda]

Well, perhaps, perhaps.

[Shane]

Perhaps on Halloween, people.

[Amanda]

Perhaps. Maybe something you have.

[Shane]

Okay, our next story comes from Noah, who is here with us.

[Amanda]

Noah, please enter the space. Noah, if you are here, Noah, slide down from where you are and enter. Hello. Oh, my God, you're here.

[Shane]

Hello, Noah.

[Noah]

I've been summoned.

[Amanda]

Hi, Noah.

[Shane]

I think I know your ghost story. Have I known this?

[Noah]

No, I don't think I've ever told anyone at Smosh here. One time I told this on stage in like a little stand up set.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

That's fun.

[Shane]

So it's funny.

[Amanda]

Were people laughing?

[Noah]

I mean, yes, they were, because I think it's funny, but I think it's funny because I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in aliens. I don't believe in Cryptids. And yet, with 100% certainty, I know my truth and what I experienced that night.

[Shane]

See that? This is where, like, I'm skeptical too, because when you say that, that makes me believe in it more. That I'm like, you are not actively trying to prove it's true to yourself. You're. You're trying to doubt it. You're like, no, you can't deny what happened.

[Tommy Bo]

Yep.

[Chance]

No.

[Shane]

And that's. That's scary.

[Noah]

Yeah. To me, I am a completely logical person. I know what I experienced and how it felt. But I also know that there's no way that it can be real despite this being 100 real. So I just have to live in that space, okay? I have to live with that. I have to accept that reality.

[Amanda]

The ghost is like, dude, I've been trying. You are. You're. You're coming up with all these theories. I gotta go, man.

[Noah]

Let me tell you, because this is not just a ghost story, okay? It is a ghost story and an alien story.

[Amanda]

Stop.

[Noah]

That's right.

[Shane]

And a yeti story.

[Noah]

What I'm telling you, okay?

[Amanda]

I'm telling you.

[Noah]

And it's the Getty from that Christmas story. You know the Rudolph movie, The Abominable Snowman. Yes, uh huh.

[Amanda]

I remember that movie.

[Tommy Bo]

Bumble's Bounce.

[Noah]

Yes, Bumblebee.

[Tommy Bo]

All right.

[Amanda]

It was spooky.

[Shane]

Okay, okay, okay, go ahead.

[Noah]

So to, to set the stage. This is before I met my girlfriend. So this is probably eight, nine years ago. Okay. So I was working at Smosh, but you know, like right very early, beginning of when I was hired. So I was like 18, 19. So I don't think weed was legal yet in California. It might have just been.

[Shane]

Why is weed the common factor?

[Noah]

Look, it just what it is flaunt.

[Amanda]

And then this lady came to me.

[Shane]

I know what I saw. I was high as shit. It was real.

[Amanda]

This is great.

[Shane]

Okay, go on, go on.

[Noah]

Okay, so understand this. I went to the store and I went to buy a brownie. And when I was looking at the options, okay, this was before there was a legal dosage. Like now it's legal. Like 10 milligrams is one dose. Like if you go to buy chocolate bar, it's 100 milligrams, like standard. Usually you cannot find anything more than that unless it's in like liquid form or it's doing a weird thing with the serving size sizes. So I went and I saw that they had a thousand milligram brownie in the same size as the hundred milligram one. And I was really confused. Okay, and this one's in a complete black bag. There's one sticker on it that someone obviously put on. And it just has a cow with three eyes and a top hat.

[Amanda]

Okay, where are you shopping?

[Noah]

At a store.

[Chance]

Okay.

[Noah]

At a legal.

[Amanda]

At a store that we would never know the name because we went somewhere.

[Noah]

Oh, it's shut down now. I think it was called. Okay, yeah, definitely shut down. It was rated more than once. And so I bought this thousand milligram brownie and it was dense. Like you felt that it was like, oh, this is. It feels like three sticks of butters in your hand. Like it was a lot. And so I was, I was like, I can't eat this whole thing. So I decided to nibble a corner. And I don't know if how it was made, like it all dipped in the corner or something, but I'm telling you, I took one bite of this thousand milligram Brownie and within 15 minutes I was so high I felt like I was in a Looney Tunes episode. Like I was like doinked with the whole sound I was trying to walk and I was like, this is not working. And I was in my house, I was still living with my parents. And I was like, oh, this is.

[Amanda]

Not your mom's like, honey, you want some dinner? He's like, doink.

[Noah]

So I had to get up the stairs. I had to go in my room. And I felt, I felt the earth moving. Like that's what it was like for me. It was. My feet felt something different than my head. So I was moving. Like I was like. It was insane. So I went to put myself to bed. And I went to bed maybe about 10:00, and I woke up. You just kind of lay down until you stop feeling sick. And so I woke up maybe about 2:30. It was like super, super dark. And I woke up to the sound of my bedroom door opening. But really like just a little, a little creek. And so I was like, okay, like sometimes doors open. Like, you know, you were saying with Tommy, you know, sometimes the AC will kind of make pockets. I was like, okay, whatever. And I was still beyond high. Like so high. I don't even know if I remembered I was high. But I mean, I ate too much weed. And so the door opens a little bit and I'm sleeping where the covers are kind of covering my face a little. And I'm starting to get the blood pressure going, the adrenaline, and I'm like, okay, this is kind of weird. The door didn't just open a little. It opened a little and then a little more and then a little more. So I'm like kind of freaked out and I'm like, look, maybe someone, maybe there's a robber. Maybe someone's spying on me. You know what I gotta do.

[Amanda]

You think it was like your mom being like, honey.

[Noah]

Well, in my brain it had been like five minutes of me, like in fear being like, okay, is the door gonna close? Cause like if you're peeking, you close the door, right? No, the door was like this opening, opening, opening. So I decided that I was going to finally gain the courage, pop open my sheets like a big surprise attack. I was gonna be like, if someone's here and they're like, you know, like, I'm gonna pop up and get him. So right when I'm like, I'm gonna pop up and get him, all of a sudden I hear footsteps. And I. In my room, it's a high pile carpet, but it's also like a wood floor underneath. So you get a creek sometimes at night, but high pile, you hear kind of like a. Like if someone's stepping, you know?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Completely silent. And so I'm hearing creaks and stepping synchronously. So I'm like, that's a footstep. Like, if someone's stepping on my carpet, you would hear the carpet, and then you'd hear the wood creek. Because I'm on the second floor. And so now I'm freaked the out. I was about to do a surprise attack. I'd gained the courage. Now I am. My pants. I'm full on. Like, someone is staring over my face right now. Like, that's how I feel.

[Amanda]

That's really.

[Noah]

There's like four footsteps the same distance you'd get right above me. Like, I'm freaking the out. And I'm like, no, go back to your plan. Surprise attack. Surprise attack. So I'm like, this is it. This is it. I pop up to try to, like, you know, whoever it is, I'm gonna get you. I pop up. The moment I pop up, I swear to God, my bedroom door, which is like halfway open, goes. Closes so quick. Quicker than, like, it's not like a slow, like. And now I'm fucked. I'm like, this is it.

[Shane]

Like, slams shut.

[Noah]

Slams shut. Like, enough that if anyone else was awake, like, someone else should have woken up. Like, it was loud. I was like, this is it. My heart is pounding. I'm like, I am fucked. Surprise attack didn't work. I go back under the covers because I'm like, look, if they come back. If they come back, I have to be hidden.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So I hide. And then I realize, what if they're still in the room? What if it's a ghost and it's in the fucking room? Why would it have left it? Just closed the door behind it. Now it's me versus ghost, what you need to do.

[Shane]

And this is what I would do in that situation. You say out loud, you go, I'm not stuck in here with you. You're stuck in here with me.

[Noah]

And then I pull my pants down.

[Shane]

And you shit your pants.

[Amanda]

Surprise attack.

[Tommy Bo]

And it goes like, no.

[Noah]

Okay. So now I'm fucking freaked. I'm back under the covers. My heart is racing. I think now there's a ghost in the room. And I'm like, this ghost is gonna kill me. That's what ghosts do. Ghosts kill people. Now I'm fucked. Like, people are gonna find me dead under my sheets. Like, this is just the worst thing.

[Amanda]

You're having a terrible trip.

[Noah]

Just a horrible high as hell high trip.

[Amanda]

High as hell.

[Shane]

Your mom goes in, Noah, and You're there just like ghost kid.

[Noah]

That's what I imagine.

[Tommy Bo]

Ghost kids with a brownie. Yes.

[Noah]

Yes. I'm the only ever what have you.

[Shane]

What if you pull down the sheets and it's the cow with the three eyes? You need to finish the brownie. Okay.

[Noah]

I swear to God, there's a ghost above me. He's going to kill me. They're going to kill me, whomever they are. And I. At this point, I accept it. It's probably been two or three minutes of me knowing the ghost is above me. I know for a fact the ghost is above me. There's nothing I can do. I can't think my way out of this surprise attack. Didn't work. It didn't scare it off. I'm like, that's it. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. The moment that I'm kind of like feeling that they're coming closer to me, I hear my blinds go. And I'm like, what the fuck? The weirdest thing, though, is I feel the energy that I'm not the only one surprised. The ghost was surprised by the window. I'm telling you, this ghost did not expect the window. Cause I was feeling that I was gonna die. You could feel he was.

[Tommy Bo]

You know what?

[Noah]

I was surprised.

[Amanda]

This whole story is surprising me. I can.

[Noah]

I'm telling you, you. You know when you feel something and I was feeling it, if a ghost had breath, it was breathing on me. And there was a sheet in between me. Yeah, no. Now it's like the ghost turned its head also, and I was like, oh, shit. Like, something new is happening that neither of us expected tonight. Like, some. The plan is going haywire at this point. So I peek through the covers because I'm like, at this point, Ghost is going to kill me. Now a new contender in the ring. What the fuck is going to happen? I look, my windows a little ajar. My screen, I don't have a screen there. So I'm like, bro, an alien just got in here, bro. I knew an alien just fucking got in my window. And you know what's crazy? The ghost knew as well, because the ghost stopped. I felt the three of us. I could feel the energy. We were in a Mexican standoff. It was me, an alien and a ghost. And the ghost and the alien, they didn't know that they both were coming to my room that night. It's as if they both had a plan. Like, they just so happen to be in the same place. I swear to God. So essentially, I realize, okay, no, Matter what happens. Like, I'm not making it out. And they're determining between the two of them right now who gets first dibs, right? Is the ghost gonna kill me or is the alien gonna probe me? Or is the alien gonna probe me?

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And then the ghost. So I just accept it. And I said, this is it. Let me get under my sheets. I go under my sheets. I'm scared as hell. I feel a ghost. I feel tickling by my legs. I'm like, the probe's coming. I feel it by my leg hairs. And I swear, God, my heart rate is so. I think I passed out. I think I fully passed out from an anxiety attack.

[Amanda]

Because you were so high?

[Noah]

Because an alien was trying to kill me while a ghost was trying to probe me. You don't know what that's like.

[Amanda]

An alien's trying to kill you while the ghost trying to probe.

[Noah]

No, no, no. Flip it, flip it.

[Amanda]

Got it.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

Heard.

[Noah]

And I knew it. I knew it. And so I fell asleep. I think I passed out from an anxiety attack. And I woke up in the morning. And I just want to say, like, you know, probing isn't as bad as they say, I guess, because I was fine, and whatever the ghost wanted, it got. Maybe they fought. I don't know what happened. I was asleep. I woke up. I was good.

[Shane]

You're completely fine. Your window was slightly ajar.

[Noah]

Window was slightly ajar. Door was still open or no, door was closed.

[Shane]

Do you remember opening that window? Or was that window like, does that window usually close?

[Noah]

I have no fucking clue. I don't take tabs in my window.

[Amanda]

My brain just goes to his mom going, like, it's really hot in here. Open the door. She's like. Like, ah, let's close the blinds. Tickle, tickle, tickle, my little boy. And then she leaves.

[Shane]

I think your mom's a ghost because.

[Amanda]

God, you're so high. Little tickle.

[Noah]

A ghost and an alien.

[Shane]

Why don't. Why. Why are you so certain it was an alien in that second situation, not another ghost?

[Noah]

Because what comes in through a second story window that would surprise a ghost?

[Amanda]

Every, every. Everybody knows that.

[Shane]

You don't think a ghost could surprise a ghost?

[Tommy Bo]

Why?

[Shane]

It's like a rock.

[Tommy Bo]

No, no, no situation.

[Noah]

It's like a gmail account calendar. Like, a ghost should know where a ghost. Why would two ghosts try to haunt the same soul? Unless they're like, ghost twins, right? Then you're only getting half.

[Amanda]

Maybe it's a mama and a papa and they want a baby.

[Shane]

Were you still high when you woke up?

[Noah]

Without a doubt. Without a fucking doubt. I'm telling you, dude, I ate so little of that brownie. And now I know the real moral of the story is I know why they're serving sizes. Like, if anyone ever was like, oh, my God, like, I totally can handle more. Like, maybe you can, but the issue is, it's like, thank God I was in my room at night when an alien and a ghost showed up. Imagine I was anywhere else and they just showed up. Yes.

[Amanda]

Could you imagine if you were anywhere else at the grocery store?

[Shane]

I don't want to be anywhere when a ghost and an alien both show up at the same time.

[Noah]

And if you eat enough weed, it happens.

[Shane]

You started this story by saying you don't believe in ghosts, you don't believe in aliens, and then you just told us a story about a ghost and an alien. 100% you don't believe in them, but.

[Noah]

You'Re saying there's no world where ghosts and aliens are real. However, for me, in that little half an hour span, there was both a ghost and an alien trying to straight up take me. And they weren't even working together. They had to, like, figure it out as they went along. It was a loose alliance. It was a loose alliance. It was like the men, the dwarves, and the elves up against love, you know, the forces of that. It's true love that.

[Amanda]

Wait, could you hear them talking?

[Noah]

You. I'm gonna be honest. I'm gonna be honest. I couldn't hear it, but I could feel that there was a dialogue, you know?

[Amanda]

And I love that.

[Noah]

Yeah. I took ASL for a few years, so I feel like I could handle body language, energy, communication.

[Amanda]

But they were speaking two different languages.

[Shane]

So this alien can see ghosts and was fully aware there's a ghost in there.

[Noah]

I'm not sure how it was.

[Shane]

What if the alien was there for the ghost?

[Noah]

I'm still not sure if the alien was invisible or just very little.

[Amanda]

Oh, that's a good point, Shane. What if the alien was like, hey, you're coming with me. I saw your calendar. Like, I knew you'd be here.

[Noah]

For all I know, the alien showed up because it wanted to study the ghost haunting me. Me. Who knows?

[Shane]

That's.

[Amanda]

And that's why it tickled your feet.

[Noah]

It tickled my feet and it went up my legs and I closed my eyes and fell asleep before I could get to my butt. That's what I did. I said, if it's gonna probe me, I'm gonna be asleep.

[Shane]

Okay?

[Noah]

It was. It was a. I woke up. Okay. Just saying.

[Shane]

And. And did you take more bites of that brownie event through that shit the fuck away?

[Noah]

I threw that shit away.

[Amanda]

A thousand. A thousand.

[Noah]

I'm telling you, I eat the. I would never even try to eat that whole thing. I ate the corner.

[Amanda]

Yeah, but back in the day, those things aren't. They're not regulated. They're not.

[Noah]

Look, I don't know where it was.

[Shane]

No, you don't know anything about.

[Tommy Bo]

Let's.

[Shane]

Let's know. Here's. Here's what I'm. I'm curious about. You're talking about hauntings and aliens. I think we need to go back to that brownie. You found this weird brownie with. With a weird cow imagery on it. What if that brownie, it's. It summons demons? And you didn't need enough of that brownie for the demons to come and fully get you. But they wanted you. I think that that brownie, you eat the whole brownie. You. It's something.

[Noah]

You join them.

[Shane]

You join them.

[Noah]

You become the third eye.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Have you gotten high since?

[Noah]

Yes.

[Shane]

But not nowhere near has happened.

[Noah]

No, I've never. Never with marijuana have I ever had any experience like that other than the time that I ate that thousand milligram brownie. Maybe very early on. Like the second time I got high, I thought I saw a ghost chicken. But that's different. I was just really high.

[Tommy Bo]

What do you.

[Shane]

I wonder what. Because I know you totally. I know you can't overdose on weed, but what would happen if you ate the whole brownie?

[Noah]

You know, I think what. I was probably an overdose.

[Shane]

I feel like you can think you need to go to the hospital.

[Noah]

Yeah, I've been to have a panic attack.

[Amanda]

Oh yeah. I couldn't stop fainting.

[Noah]

Wait.

[Shane]

Oh my God.

[Amanda]

Guardian. I. Yeah.

[Noah]

Wait, I've never heard.

[Shane]

I'm sorry.

[Amanda]

I was like four months into our relationship.

[Noah]

Are you sure?

[Amanda]

We drank hot chocolate.

[Noah]

What do you mean? You can't stop with chocolate.

[Shane]

And it wasn't even weed. It was just really good.

[Noah]

It was.

[Amanda]

No, it was weed.

[Shane]

There's a lot of marshmallows in it.

[Amanda]

I straight up went to the hospital.

[Shane]

You kept fainting.

[Noah]

And what did they do for you?

[Amanda]

So high?

[Noah]

They gave you more hot chocolate.

[Amanda]

They put me in a wheelchair and I threw up all over the nurse's shoe. And she called me a fucking bitch. It's a long story. It's a long story. Those nurses work hard, but damn, they do not like it if you are Fucked up.

[Noah]

Yo. Do you know what brand you ate?

[Amanda]

No. His stepdad made it for us.

[Noah]

Maybe he's the connector.

[Amanda]

He's probably the great.

[Noah]

Maybe he's a three eyed cow.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Noah]

It's like the Three Eyed Raven.

[Amanda]

You literally need to Google that.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Noah]

It has to be a brand. I feel like it was called like Kosovo or something.

[Shane]

There's gonna be a comment beneath being like, I had one of those.

[Noah]

Man, that was crazy. Same thing happened.

[Shane]

Same thing happened.

[Amanda]

I bet. I bet our fans will find that.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Shane]

All right.

[Amanda]

Wow. Well, Noah, I didn't know what to expect. Of course.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And you. That was incredible.

[Shane]

What did Keith say when you told him that story?

[Noah]

I've never told him this.

[Shane]

You've never told Keith that story?

[Noah]

I think I've forgotten to. Every time I've hung out with him, I.

[Amanda]

You're like, let me remind you. I gotta tell you something. Yeah.

[Shane]

I want to see Keith's reaction when you tell him that. Okay. Thank you, Noah.

[Noah]

Hi, guys.

[Amanda]

Thank you, Noah. Go back to where you came from. See ya.

[Shane]

I don't know what's scarier. Having a ghost and alien both into your room or having a trip that bad.

[Amanda]

Having a trip that bad. Because let me tell you, that was the worst night of my life.

[Shane]

That sounds. Is awesome.

[Amanda]

Do not go to the LA Zoo. Lights while you're on it.

[Shane]

Oh, God. Holy crap.

[Amanda]

Smell animals and see lights.

[Shane]

You look over at the howler monkeys and they're like, hey, Amanda, how's it going?

[Amanda]

But they have lights everywhere. And trust me, especially when you're first dating.

[Shane]

Oh, not cute. Yeah. Rough card is like, that was a test. Yeah, you passed. You were basically married when that happened.

[Amanda]

No, I was like three months in and my sister was like, I'm going to murder your boyfriend.

[Noah]

He harmed you.

[Amanda]

And I was like, we both drank hot chocolate. She's like. Like he's never forgiven.

[Shane]

He. He. Guardier seems like the type to put in a lot.

[Amanda]

Yeah, he's like, yum, yum, yum.

[Shane]

And he was fine.

[Amanda]

A good time? No, he was up. But he was having a blast. He's like. He's like. He's like, you just fainted. We gotta figure this out.

[Tommy Bo]

Da, da, da.

[Shane]

That's another time. Okay. Anyways, our next story.

[Amanda]

Our next and last story.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Because these have been so incredible and maybe we save the best for last. I don't know.

[Shane]

We'll see.

[Amanda]

We'll see.

[Shane]

Chance. Chance is here.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Yeah. Yes.

[Tommy Bo]

Honey, I would just like to say if there's any ghosts or aliens that are trying to probe me, I won't be asleep.

[Amanda]

I knew you were going to say that. He's like, surprise attack, bitch. I'm looking like you.

[Tommy Bo]

I've already lubed up, so jokes on you.

[Amanda]

The blankets are fully down.

[Tommy Bo]

I'm ass up.

[Amanda]

Welcome.

[Tommy Bo]

Pardon me, please. I'm like, no crucifix here.

[Noah]

Stop.

[Tommy Bo]

Where are your rosary beads?

[Chance]

Oh, well.

[Tommy Bo]

There'S also been a lot.

[Amanda]

Guys, this is chance.

[Tommy Bo]

Chance. Hey, how y'all doing? Hey. There's also been a lot of talk of, like, aliens and interdimensional beings, and I'm like, what are ghosts? Ghosts, but interdimensional beings. Fair.

[Amanda]

That's so true.

[Shane]

What if we die?

[Tommy Bo]

We go to a different plane of existence.

[Amanda]

That's what I think.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

It's just ghosts are in a different plane.

[Amanda]

That's what I think.

[Shane]

Pretty crazy.

[Amanda]

Okay, so you've been haunted, so.

[Tommy Bo]

Yes, I've been haunted. I come from Franklin, Tennessee, which haunted place. Haunted place.

[Shane]

The American South, I feel like, is.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

American south in general.

[Amanda]

Virginia, like, South Carolina. Are they haunted?

[Shane]

Or is it like all of. All of Appalachia is apparently haunted.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah, so much. It's just also the woods. I see a lot of things about.

[Shane]

The woods in general.

[Amanda]

It's like, also alien stuff there, too.

[Tommy Bo]

Not as much alien stuff. Stuff's more like Nevada, Utah. Great.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Shane]

The west is the aliens.

[Amanda]

Got it.

[Tommy Bo]

West is the alien.

[Shane]

The east is the haunted stuff.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah, it's more ghosts. More ghosts, definitely. But Franklin, Tennessee, just so much, like, unended suffering that is, like, going on into the afterlife, I think, is what's going on there. But we had this. This place called the Carter house and the Carton Plantation. And so they are these places that battles during the Civil War took place.

[Amanda]

Civil war.

[Tommy Bo]

And Tennessee was like a battleground state because it's right in the middle of the south and the north that we're fighting. So, like, a lot of battles went on there, Especially in Franklin, Most notably the battle of Franklin.

[Amanda]

Oh, wow.

[Shane]

Interesting. Yes.

[Amanda]

Very creative.

[Tommy Bo]

Very creative. Well, you name it, what it is.

[Noah]

Battle of where are we?

[Amanda]

There's a sign there.

[Tommy Bo]

And so one of our field trips that we would take in.

[Amanda]

Oh, we were young.

[Tommy Bo]

I was gonna do a bit.

[Amanda]

Wait, I forgot.

[Tommy Bo]

I was gonna do a bit.

[Shane]

Should I do the bit?

[Amanda]

Too late now.

[Tommy Bo]

Okay, I'm gonna do the bit now. I'm gonna do the bit now. Okay. So I have a ghost story. So it was right after Covid and I went on a date with this guy. And the date went, well, the food was great. And then he just was like, do you want to go out to this lookout point? And I was like, oh, sure. So we're, like, driving up the hill to this lookout.

[Amanda]

Don't lose it before you get to the vet.

[Shane]

Keep it going.

[Tommy Bo]

We're driving up to this lookout point, and we're up there, and I'm kind of getting creeped out because it's, like, high up. We're not near anyone. It's my first date with this guy. Literally. We sat there, and we're, like, on the edge of this cliff, and we're talking, and then I'm like, can I kiss you? And he's like, yes. And so I kiss. And then we go back to my place, we have two more dates, and then he just stops responding to me.

[Shane]

There it is.

[Amanda]

Let me ask. Did he ghost you?

[Tommy Bo]

I had this whole bit where I was gonna tell this really long story.

[Shane]

And then it was gonna be bad.

[Tommy Bo]

It was gonna be bad.

[Amanda]

I can't.

[Tommy Bo]

But I forgo an actual story, too.

[Amanda]

I can't. Okay, back to Franklin, Tennessee, where the Civil War is happening, minus you getting ghosted at the lookout point.

[Shane]

Lookout point, everyone.

[Tommy Bo]

Three dates later. You can't go. Someone after three dates. That's crazy.

[Shane]

A real story.

[Tommy Bo]

That is a real story.

[Shane]

Wow. Ghosting after three dates is crazy. That is crazy. That is crazy.

[Tommy Bo]

Like, that's exhausting.

[Shane]

Now that's past the threshold where it's, like, really bad.

[Tommy Bo]

Yes, that's really bad.

[Amanda]

Yeah, really bad.

[Tommy Bo]

Oh, my. And it didn't even get probed. Okay, so back to the quarterhouse.

[Shane]

Back to the haunted land where people killed each other.

[Tommy Bo]

So there was the Battle of Franklin. 1700. Over 1700 people died at this place because it was right next to the battle. And so it was just where everyone was going to get some sort of help, because these weapons aren't very efficient. They're not killing shitty. They're shitty. And they're more infecting people into death.

[Shane]

It was, like, the deadliest war in America.

[Tommy Bo]

Super deadly.

[Shane]

And so many people died. It was crazy.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah, it's not even. Like, they're not even going through and, like, stabbing people to make sure they're dead like they would in some wars. Like Sword Wars.

[Amanda]

Yeah, Sword wars.

[Shane]

In the Sword Wars.

[Amanda]

Those were crazy wars. Sword Wars.

[Tommy Bo]

Why is that not a term?

[Amanda]

Sword Wars.

[Tommy Bo]

No, the time of the Sword wars.

[Amanda]

Sword Wars.

[Tommy Bo]

Four guns. Okay, so. So we took field trips there, and our dress code was to dress like Confederate soldiers. So There are pictures.

[Shane]

That's always.

[Amanda]

That's unacceptable.

[Tommy Bo]

Like, all gray. I'm like a little half black kid. Like this Confederate soldier ready to fight for my.

[Shane]

And the ghosts of Union soldiers did not like that.

[Tommy Bo]

Well, and Tennessee was. It was middle ground, so it was Volunteer State because people were volunteering on both sides.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Tommy Bo]

It was in between the Union and the.

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Tommy Bo]

Crazy, right?

[Shane]

It's gonna be a trippy time in history to be like, we gotta choose. Like, that's.

[Tommy Bo]

I mean, that's what it was. It was like. And even brothers in the same household would be like, I'm going to the Union and I'm going to the Confederacy.

[Shane]

Thanksgiving that year was awkward.

[Amanda]

Where's that? Where's that movie?

[Tommy Bo]

Where is that movie?

[Shane]

All right, all right. No political conversations. All right? We'll kill each other later this year.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Tommy Bo]

Okay, so. So we went on a field trip. And during the field trip, we knew this place was, like, haunted. It had, like, ghosts. And we knew this two different kids passed out after they saw the same ghost. Allegedly. It was this woman, and there was a woman. I can't remember what her name was. McGormock, McCormick. McGavic.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Tommy Bo]

McGavic.

[Amanda]

Sounds legit.

[Tommy Bo]

Yes. And there was a woman who, like, was the main caretaker of the house. And they both said they saw this woman who just fits. Her description was, like, brown hair, long brown hair, big white dress, and a candle. And they saw her. Two different kids at different parts of the field trip passed out, saying they said the same ghost. And they're like. They're like fourth graders. They're not like that.

[Amanda]

And how old were you?

[Tommy Bo]

Fourth grade.

[Amanda]

Okay, Fourth grade field trip. In a Confederate uniform.

[Tommy Bo]

In a Confederate uniform.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy Bo]

And I think I even picked cotton that trip. I'm not kidding.

[Amanda]

I can't. Literally.

[Tommy Bo]

It was a cotton plantation. So they, like, go and pick some cotton.

[Shane]

God damn.

[Tommy Bo]

So crazy. So anyways, so fast forward, they don't do tours all year, so it, like, shuts down for part of the year. Okay. And this is senior year of high school. My friends and I were, like, reminiscing about haunted places, and we're, like, trying to get a kick. We're, like, so done with this town. We're 18 years old. We're like, get us out of here. Like, we need to rage against the dying of the light. And so we were like, what if we went to, like, the Carton plantation, like, while it was, like, dark and in at night time, which don't do that. And I don't. And my friends were white. I will say my friends were white. So there.

[Shane]

So we got our confederate.

[Tommy Bo]

You still fit?

[Amanda]

Still fit.

[Tommy Bo]

Skinny as. So we went back and so we're driving there. We're already like kind of freaked out because we knew the. We remember the fainting.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

We always hear all this shit about it. So we go there and we pull up and then we like hop the gate or whatever. And we like, are walking down the driveway and you can kind of hear something from the house already when we're walking up to it. It's like a. And you can hear like cling clangs of.

[Amanda]

Someone has the kettle on.

[Tommy Bo]

Cling clangs of metal too. Like it's giving. Cling clangs of metal is exactly what it is.

[Amanda]

Yep.

[Tommy Bo]

So we're like already freaked out because we can hear things going on inside the house. It's like 11:30, maybe midnight. It's late.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

It's the haunting. It's the witching hour, bitch.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

And so we're like so scared. So, like, we walk up to the. And we can. We can hear the things still kind of muffled up wherever it's coming from. And so we open the door and all the sounds stop.

[Amanda]

You can just open the door.

[Tommy Bo]

It was unlocked. It was unlocked.

[Amanda]

That's.

[Tommy Bo]

So we unlock. Unlock the door. We're not in the main house. We're in like one of the side houses. It's a huge plantation. There's like a bunch of different buildings.

[Amanda]

Got it.

[Tommy Bo]

And so we go in and we go to the one that we hear sounds from. As soon as we open, it stops. Nothing. So we're like, what the hell? And I'm. We're all freaked out. Some of us are recording. There's probably a video somewhere of this. And my adopted brother Fred, we're all like whispering. We're being so quiet. And Fred is Brazilian. Fred is loud. Fred is brave. Fred is boisterous.

[Shane]

Fred is.

[Tommy Bo]

Not very.

[Amanda]

His name just doesn't match this description.

[Tommy Bo]

Frederico de Andreta. Oh, there it is.

[Amanda]

All right. I was like, fred.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

Fred. No. Frederico de Andretta.

[Amanda]

Frederico.

[Tommy Bo]

Frederico.

[Amanda]

Uh huh. Got it.

[Tommy Bo]

Frederico. And so we're all like. I'm like. You can feel pins and needles and like this place, it's so dark. It is so, so dark. The moon's like half lit, so there's not a lot of light. There's no street lights. There's no. It's really fucking dark. One of us has our flashlights on our phone and Fred goes, show yourself. But it. Which is so funny because he was quoting. He was quoting Damian Wayne's movie. The. They had, like, a joke movie that was scary movie, not scary movie. It's like, what's the movie with the camera? And Paranormal Activity.

[Amanda]

Paranormal Activity.

[Tommy Bo]

They had a spoof of that. Okay. And there's, like, a reverend, and he comes and he's like, show yourself. Shout yourself. So he was quoting that. Very funny now. But we were so angry and so scared. We, like, heard something shift upstairs, and we just had to book it out of there. So we're, like, running, because we have to run all the way back and jump a fence. So we're, like, sprinting back, and then we look up, and there's this chicken. There's a chicken, a live chicken, about 40ft in the air on a pole. I don't know what it means. I don't know if it has some tarot meaning or some spiritual meaning, but chickens can't fly that high. How did that chicken get on that pole? And the chicken was. It was alive. It was a real chicken. I don't know. But we're running. We didn't have time to think about it. And my friend Lexi was like, chickens don't fly.

[Amanda]

Chickens don't fly.

[Tommy Bo]

We're thinking, is it a ghost chicken? I don't know what the deal with the chicken is. So we're running. We run. We get back to our car. We're, like, freaking out. We're, like, screaming. We're like, oh, my God.

[Chance]

Drive out of here.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Tommy Bo]

So we leave, and we were talking about it for, like, a couple days, and then two weeks later, we find out that there was a meth lab in there. So there were. We were going into a meth lab, which is much scarier than ghosts. Yeah, much scarier than ghosts.

[Amanda]

Wait, stop.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah. We were just a bunch of teens about to go into a fucking meth lab.

[Amanda]

Do you mean that they were up there?

[Tommy Bo]

Yes. They were up there cooking fucking meth. Which, Tennessee is really bad. We had a lot of shit.

[Amanda]

Why would they choose that house?

[Tommy Bo]

I know. Because it was empty. They weren't doing tours, so they were just like, fuck. Yeah.

[Amanda]

That doesn't explain why the chicken was up on the pole.

[Noah]

Exactly.

[Shane]

Chicken meth.

[Amanda]

I'm a good student.

[Tommy Bo]

But this is how we remember the story. We're like, the chicken story. Because the chicken was the scariest part. How did that chicken get up?

[Amanda]

How did that chicken get up there?

[Tommy Bo]

It wasn't haunted. Maybe it was haunted. Chicken Haunted chicken.

[Amanda]

Wait, that's terrifying. Did they get. Get, like, busted? Did they get moved out of there?

[Tommy Bo]

Yes, it was a whole thing.

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Amanda]

Cooking up meth in a haunted Civil War place.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah, but that sounds like a great place to cook meth. No, people are scared.

[Amanda]

It sounds like a movie. Like this whole thing.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah. Whoa. My life's like a movie.

[Amanda]

Wait, Chance, that's crazy.

[Tommy Bo]

I know.

[Amanda]

Did you ever go back? No.

[Tommy Bo]

Why would I ever go.

[Amanda]

Why would you ever go?

[Tommy Bo]

I didn't even want to go in the first place.

[Amanda]

But you didn't see. So you didn't see the woman, though.

[Tommy Bo]

I never saw the woman, but those kids. I've never seen a woman.

[Amanda]

The kids that fainted did.

[Tommy Bo]

The kids that fainted did.

[Shane]

That's really creepy.

[Tommy Bo]

I don't remember which two kids, but I do know. So if you went to Walnut Grove and you were the kid that fainted, reach out to me.

[Amanda]

Reach out?

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Comment below.

[Tommy Bo]

I can't remember which two of you fainted, but I know two of you fainted.

[Amanda]

And tell us about the woman that they saw. Holy shit. Yeah, the woman.

[Shane]

I wonder if they still have kids dress up in Confederate uniforms and pick cotton.

[Tommy Bo]

I do think so. I know my middle school mascot was the General, and it was a Confederate general.

[Shane]

So it's.

[Tommy Bo]

But our colors were. Watch this. Our colors were blue, white, and light gray. The colors of the Civil War were blue for the Union and gray for the Confederacy. So our. They switched the General from gray to blue after I went there.

[Amanda]

Okay. So that's what they did.

[Tommy Bo]

So now it's a Union general.

[Amanda]

We did Civil War reenactments down the street from us.

[Tommy Bo]

Which side were you on?

[Shane]

Well, you were in Massachusetts.

[Amanda]

I was in Massachusetts.

[Tommy Bo]

So we blew. You're like, I don't know.

[Amanda]

I don't fucking know. But there were guys with muskets and.

[Tommy Bo]

Shane, which side.

[Shane]

Which side were you? I grew up in Arizona. We didn't. We didn't touch stuff. Orange.

[Tommy Bo]

You didn't touch that orange.

[Amanda]

Holy. Dude. I'm telling you, I feel like I don't know if I would be able to go into that house. No, I.

[Shane]

No, I would. I would just be like, I'm not going.

[Amanda]

I think what's really scary is, like, Civil War, like, old battle stuff.

[Tommy Bo]

There's still bullet holes in the house.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy Bo]

There's still the discoloration from all the blood of the people that were seeping into the wood.

[Amanda]

Holy God.

[Tommy Bo]

Because they just had bodies on bodies on bodies. Just sprawled out some Some half alive trying to save them with the fucked ass medical supplies that you have in 1860.

[Amanda]

That is insane.

[Noah]

Yeah, dude.

[Amanda]

Teenagers that go to places to scare themselves are insane. Why? We definitely have. I've definitely done it, but we definitely have places.

[Tommy Bo]

You just need a thrill.

[Amanda]

You need a thrill. You need to get out.

[Tommy Bo]

Yeah, you need to get out.

[Amanda]

It's like Footloose. You need to get out of that town. Let us dance.

[Shane]

Did your adopted brother from Brazil also have to participate in those, like, the reenactments?

[Tommy Bo]

He had not moved here from Brazil.

[Shane]

Yet, so he did not become Confederico.

[Tommy Bo]

Wow. Fuck.

[Noah]

Shit. No.

[Tommy Bo]

Oh, God. What is with you guys?

[Shane]

God, it hurts.

[Tommy Bo]

Oh, just pull the bullet out, please.

[Amanda]

Prepping these stories to, like, let it out at a certain time.

[Shane]

I, I thought of it a while ago and I was like, I'm just gonna wait for this. And Frederica.

[Tommy Bo]

Frederica was awesome.

[Shane]

That is nuts. I'm amazed.

[Tommy Bo]

So I, I, I'm gonna be honest. Amanda would think my brother is hot.

[Amanda]

I was just thinking that when you said his full name, I was like, I knew it. Another Portuguese person.

[Tommy Bo]

Yes, he's a chef in Amsterdam.

[Shane]

Whoa. Comes out of the kitchen, he's like, show yourself.

[Tommy Bo]

What? He's my height.

[Amanda]

How tall are you?

[Tommy Bo]

[Amanda]

Oh, that's fine.

[Tommy Bo]

I can work with that.

[Shane]

Oh, that's fine.

[Amanda]

[Amanda]

That's true. I'd love to see that. Actually. I've seen it a million times.

[Tommy Bo]

[Shane]

That is insane.

[Noah]

Wow.

[Tommy Bo]

Crazy, right?

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Amanda]

Holy crap.

[Shane]

I almost think. Yeah, I agree. That it's worse to find out it's a real person. Yes.

[Tommy Bo]

Way scary. Scarier.

[Amanda]

You could really hurt.

[Shane]

I will take a ghost over. Like, if someone's like, hey, you got to stay in that house. There's been reports that it's haunted and there's ghosts house. We have to stay in that house. And there's people that are there. We don't know who they are. And I'm like, I'm taking the ghost.

[Tommy Bo]

People are way scary. And that's what I've noticed about horror movies recently too. I'm like, there's a lot of, like, people horror movies. Like, people just sick in the head.

[Amanda]

And that's what's scary.

[Tommy Bo]

[Amanda]

That is so, like, people coming into your house and like, like the strangers, like, they're coming in. That is so scary. I mean, way more than what's that new one?

[Tommy Bo]

[Tommy Bo]

But there are safe drugs, too. Like.

[Amanda]

These were three completely different ghost stories, completely unexpected from our wonderful cast members.

[Shane]

Pretty wild shit. We have a ghost story of our own that you will be able to see on Halloween on Smosh Pit. Because Amanda and I stayed overnight here at this studio. We recorded the whole thing and we brought equipment and things happened because not.

[Amanda]

Only do people have ghost stories in their life, a lot. A lot of employees here at Smosh have a bunch of paranormal. Paranormal encounters here in the office.

[Shane]

Yay.

[Amanda]

That's what I will say.

[Shane]

Immediately creepy.

[Amanda]

[Tommy Bo]
