Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction to Atlanta Ghost Hunters & Their Methods

• Who They Are:

  • Atlanta Ghost Hunters is a team of hobbyists dedicated to investigating paranormal claims in the metro Atlanta area.
  • They respond to requests from individuals sensing strange activity in their properties, record for EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena), and only share findings publicly if something unexplained is captured.
    • “If they do find something then they'll come on The Bert Show and they'll tell us all about it and if they don't find anything they don't come on at all right?” —Luca Carter [01:05]

• Approach:

  • Scientific, favoring tangible recordings over traditional seance methods (e.g., holding hands, candles, etc.).
    • “We're more of a—we want to stay mobile, we ask the questions, we want to find out who they are but we're trying to get them to talk to us where we can record it versus, you know… We just really go for the scientific side of it versus, you know, the seance side of it.” —Andy [01:49]

---

2. Experiences with Spiritual Energy

• Listener Seance Story:

  • Responding to a listener who felt energy-drained after a seance, Andy reflects on whether spirits can affect physical energy:
    • “The only time that I've ever had anything like that really happen to me… I was just kind of calling Sherman a punk and... instantly as soon as that happened I got the worst migraine headache I've ever had my entire life… I just wanted to go home, I was beat.” —Andy, describing provocation at the Marietta Museum of History (Kennesaw House) [03:02]

• Provoking Spirits:

  • The team generally avoids provoking, but this experience left Andy physically affected and more cautious.

3. Details of the Latest Investigation

• Confidential Location:
  • A private school in Metro Atlanta, site of several buildings where deaths due mostly to old age occurred.
  • The voices recorded, however, didn’t align with known histories—suggesting the phenomena may not be strictly tied to the deceased from the property.
    • “...the voices that we caught had nothing to do with any of the old age people that would have died there… It's just wild random things that we catch on these things.” —Andy [04:17]

---

4. Chilling EVP Audio Clips

a. Clip 1: 'Skinheads'

• The team hears “skinheads” or possibly “scaredy cats” or “sinners”.
• “It clearly sounds like to us that it says ‘skinheads, skinheads’…” —Andy [05:52]
• Debate ensues as listeners suggest alternate interpretations:
  • “Does anybody hear kids in there?… something kids…” —Melissa [06:34]
  • Later, via text message: “That first one, ‘skinheads’, is ‘scaredy cats.’” —Melissa [12:52]

b. Clip 2: 'Help'

• This was recorded in an empty building, amplifying its creepiness.
• “We catch ‘help’ all the time and… it just absolutely freaks us out…” —Andy [07:53]
• Prompted discussion on spirits being lost or confused.
  • “Wasn't that your theory… some spirits just are sort of caught… they're just looking for some guidance?” —Luca Carter [08:04]

c. Clip 3: 'One More Time'

• Game-like attempt to interpret unclear EVP.
• “I want to see what you guys think you hear on this one… Let's play a round of What The Freaky Ghost Is Saying…” —Andy [09:37]
• The consensus (after much replaying): “One more time”, with Melissa joking she heard, “Kwanzaa Hall for City Council.” [10:09]

d. Clip 4: 'Do They Hear Me? / I Don’t Know'

• Multi-voice EVP following the facility owner’s request for a stomp.
  • “The owner… says, ‘Can you stomp on the floor?’… then what I hear is ‘Do they hear me?’… and a man's voice say, ‘I don’t know.’” —Andy [11:04]
  • The voice seems to have a British or Scottish accent.
    • “It's certainly British… He's a British haunting thing.” —Melissa [12:10]

---

5. Interpretations & Philosophical Theories

• Andy feels the unexplained nature of these recordings casts doubt on the common assumption that all EVPs are the voices of the dead.
  • “I don't know if these are ghosts or dead people… Maybe heaven and hell is nothing more than a different dimension… a different parallel universe.” —Andy [08:14-09:07]
• The possibility that spirits don’t always come from local deaths or even from people who died at all is raised.

---

6. Listener Engagement & Teasers

• Listeners are encouraged to interpret the audio themselves and share opinions.
  • “If they hear anything different over the radio definitely call and let us know…” —Andy [06:58]
• Andy teases a follow-up episode with even more gripping evidence, including a haunted school that burned down and a revisit to a location known from previous Halloween content.
  • “We're gonna get that one tomorrow and then… a couple of clips… actually calling out one of the names of one of the employees…” —Andy [13:18]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “We catch ‘help’ all the time and… it just absolutely freaks us out…” —Andy [07:53]
• “The voices that we caught had nothing to do with any of the old age people that would have died there.” —Andy [04:17]
• “Maybe heaven and hell is nothing more than just a different dimension that exists in the same time and space that we're in right now…” —Andy [09:07]
• “Anytime you catch kids it's always freaky… we don't catch as many kids recently as… the very beginning when we were doing a bunch of investigations…” —Andy [12:26]
• “I'm getting a bunch of text messages from people saying that first one skinheads is ‘scaredy cats’…” —Melissa [12:52]

[Andy]

the bird show i'm luca carter who

[Luca Carter]

are the atlanta ghost hunters they are

[Ghost Hunter 1]

they do this as a hobby atlanta ghost hunters is a group of people who really get into ghost investigations so they go out they find people who are in metro atlanta in atlanta and outside of atlanta that say look something weird is going on in my home i don't know what it is can you come and investigate and on their own time and for free they will go to these homes and then they will record what they hope will get evps which electronic voice phenomenon which a lot of times the belief is that spirits you know their voices noises can be caught on you know recording device so that's what they do and if they do find something then they'll come on the burt show and they'll tell

[Luca Carter]

us all about it and if they don't come if they don't find anything they don't come on at all right so they always have something so andy is actually he's usually in studio as he describes these clips but he's stuck in traffic this morning hey andy good

[Andy]

morning yeah so to whoever decided to cause this wreck at tenth and fourteenth yeah one of my ghost buddies is gonna be showing up at your house

[Ghost Hunter 1]

andy i warned you about it earlier i don't know why you weren't listening

[Andy]

well what do you do when you're in downtown atlantic whenever their lights start turning on and off tonight in the middle of the that's sending one of my buddies over to their house andy

[Luca Carter]

before we get into the clips that you have today do you know anything about seances and spirits and stuff that are sort of so word i'm looking for that are brought called yeah i guess to a seance you know you

[Andy]

know we kind of take the scientific approach we look for things that can actually be quantified things that can be recorded reviewed things like that i'm not really sure what necessarily the difference is between necessarily what we do and what a seance is other than during a seance you hold hands and you have candles lit my personal feeling is if you're calling on the spheres that you want to communicate with them whether you're holding hands and have a candle going on or not you're still really asking for the same thing so i don't know if there's much of a difference but we don't really do the seance thing with sitting around and doing that kind of thing we're more of a we want to stay mobile we ask the questions we want to find out who they are but we're we're trying to get them to talk to us where we can record it versus you know and i heard you guys talking about that earlier we just really go for the scientific side of it versus you know the seance side of it

[Melissa]

if we were on a ghost hunt with you and wanted to hold your

[Andy]

hand would you let us jen or melissa absolutely

[Luca Carter]

we had one somebody called up this morning said they did one of these seances that we're going to do friday morning on the show and they were like drained of their energy you know like they could really feel the spirit sort of took them over and drained them of their energy has that ever happened to you on any

[Andy]

one of these you know the only time that i've ever had anything like that really happen to me i was we were doing an investigation at the kennesaw house it's the marietta museum of history right there in the square of marietta and i normally don't provoke spirits you know i think you get a lot more with honey than you do vinegar but this particular time i was just kind of you know sherman had stayed in this building quite some time and i just started kind of calling sherman a punk and you know you come into our city and burn down all our stuff you know instantly as soon as that happened i got the worst migraine headache i've ever had my entire life and i mean it was to the point i was nauseous i just couldn't even i couldn't think i couldn't i just didn't really want to go on anymore all the investigators wound up going out after drinks after the investigation and i just wanted to go home i was beat did you hear

[Luca Carter]

that jeff chokey spirit guy i don't

[Andy]

know if they can really do it or not that was a good coincidence

[Luca Carter]

okay so no jokes while we're there no jokey spirit guy no okay jokey spirit we good with this jeff can

[Melissa]

we make that agreement well i mean

[Andy]

we'll see how it goes no promises now who's going to do the seance who'd you find i think we're still

[Luca Carter]

looking for somebody right now aren't we

[Melissa]

yeah if we can't find a real seancer we're just going to hire somebody from the whole world

[Luca Carter]

all right so what do you have today where did

[Andy]

you go well this one i've got to keep the location confidential just based on the type of property this is they didn't want any advertising of what the property was or where it was all i can say is this facility had about six different buildings on it we are aware of deaths that did take place in some of these buildings i can tell you that it's a school in metro atlanta a private school in metro atlanta is basically all that i can tell you what kind of deaths accidental or it was mainly age people dying of old age in each of these old buildings that were there we didn't get a chance to investigate all six buildings we had access to several of them but the voices that we caught had nothing to do with any of the old age people that would have died there the voices that we caught nothing sounds like it's an old age and that's why i don't necessarily know if it has to be somebody that died on the property or if it's attached to a particular object that's on the property or are these just random wandering spirits because some of these just make absolutely no sense for it being a school for any of the deaths that took place it's just wild random things that we catch on these things this sounds so horribly confusing

[Luca Carter]

like the plot of a horror movie right here like it's an old retirement home or something and they build a school on top to torment all the kids and one by one the kids

[Ghost Hunter 1]

are getting freaked out used to be

[Luca Carter]

a graveyard watch out alright so go ahead you just tell us what you found man and what you were feeling

[Andy]

while you were there sounds good well this first one is very clear and again this one is just one that just makes you go what huh how is this possible this one it just sounds like skinheads we're not skinheads we don't have anybody that's on our investigation team that's skinheads but it clearly sounds like to us that it says skinheads skinheads

[Luca Carter]

hear that again

[Andy]

are you sure

[Melissa]

it's not butterflies

[Ghost Hunter 1]

could it be sinners

[Andy]

maybe play it again i hear skinheads

[Luca Carter]

oh yeah yeah wow okay and the

[Melissa]

whispering thing oh wait a minute play it again does anybody hear kids in there something kids

[Luca Carter]

like before they say skin like there's a word kids in

[Melissa]

there at first something like that something kids

[Luca Carter]

i don't know something kids i

[Andy]

don't know if they hear anything different over the radio definitely call and let us know because it always sounds different over the radio but that's the first impression we caught with skinheads at least okay okay all right so the next clip that we've got here and again these are relatively small buildings at this facility so none of the buildings are very large at all and this one was actually captured in one of the buildings where we just left the recorder in there and just actually walked out so go ahead and play the clip i want to see if you guys can tell us what you think you hear on this help yeah yeah wow

[Melissa]

wow that's a crazy one yeah and

[Andy]

nobody's in the nobody's in this particular building at all this is just one of the recorders that was just left

[Melissa]

there

[Andy]

clearly and we catch that all the time we catch help all the time and you know it just absolutely freaks us out because we catch it

[Luca Carter]

all the time wasn't that your theory having you told us that before that some spirits just are sort of caught they don't know which way to go they don't you know are they alive are they dead and they're just looking

[Andy]

for some guidance you know i don't even i honestly at this point i don't even know if these are ghosts or dead people i don't know if these are demons i don't know if they're angels i don't know if they're spirits i don't know what these things are so i hate to even start to wonder about what they are about what state of death they're in when i don't even know that they're dead people because like melissa mentioned yesterday they the one evp that makes me question are these really people that are dead is that evp that i caught years ago that says oh gosh they're thinking we're ghosts and that that one right there every time that i hear one of these things just tries to remind me okay maybe these things are not ghosts maybe these are not the death you know the voices of dead people that have not moved on but then again maybe heaven and hell is nothing more than just a different dimension that exists in the same time and space that we're in right now and it's basically just a different you know a different parallel universe i can't tell you

[Luca Carter]

how many times i've had that conversation

[Andy]

yeah to me i think there's science behind everything even with the religious aspect of it there's got to be science behind this wow okay so all right this next one that we've got here and i kind of like not telling you what i think i hear i want to i want to see what you guys think you hear on this one this one is also caught in the that same building nobody was saying anything in this particular clip so it's just dead air and then we caught you tell us what you think you

[Luca Carter]

hear let's play a round of what the freaky ghost is saying if you guys think you got it buzz in that flew underneath my radar on that

[Melissa]

one one more time mm you got

[Luca Carter]

it no seriously that's what it's saying one more time no it's not i

[Melissa]

swear it is yes

[Ghost Hunter 1]

i can't hear that one there's like a high pitched squeal that seems like it's kind of blurring it out to me you think

[Luca Carter]

it says one more time though right

[Melissa]

i heard kwanzaa hall for city council

[Luca Carter]

andy is that the one more time

[Andy]

one it is yes it sure is

[Luca Carter]

that's weird no joke i'm scared of

[Melissa]

myself i don't want to be alone

[Luca Carter]

in my house tonight knowing what it is let's see if we can hear

[Andy]

it

[Luca Carter]

yeah i got nothing on that

[Ghost Hunter 1]

is it the very beginning when somebody

[Andy]

says something you know honestly is i can't i can't hear it over the phone because i can't remember exactly i've been so freaking i've been listening to so much audio these past two weeks i can't remember where it is in that clip i'm pretty sure it's at the beginning though one more time is

[Luca Carter]

what they're saying and i'll play it one more time

[Melissa]

yeah i heard it

[Luca Carter]

at the beginning it's in the very very beginning of the clip and it's way off in the distance

[Melissa]

i heard it the first time you played it that's why i said it

[Andy]

all right now this last one you're definitely going to have to have some help on this one the owner of the facility she says can you stomp on the floor so that's what you're hearing at first is can you stomp on the floor and then what i actually hear now dream and i kind of we differ on what we hear in the middle i hear do they hear me and then you'll after that and it sounds like a little girl saying that and then afterwards you hear a man with almost a british accent that says i don't know so you hear can you stomp on the floor that's the owner and then what i hear is do they hear me and then a man's voice say i don't know the

[Luca Carter]

children's ones are always the ones that

[Andy]

freak you out oh absolutely

[Ghost Hunter 1]

wow i

[Luca Carter]

can definitely hear the last part of

[Andy]

it yeah you can definitely hear the i don't know you have to listen a little bit closer for the child right in the middle

[Luca Carter]

it's like a whisper of a child and a whisper

[Andy]

of a guy right exactly but the guy if you listen to it he definitely has some sort of accent to it i can't pick up the accent but there's some sort of accent that

[Melissa]

he has it's certainly british he's a

[Luca Carter]

british thing you know i'm pretty good

[Melissa]

with accents he's a british haunting thing

[Luca Carter]

yeah that's scottish weird yeah definitely got

[Andy]

some some sort of accent to it but that one yeah like you said anytime you catch kids it's always freaky we don't catch as many kids recently as i mean they're the very beginning when we were doing a bunch of investigations early on we were catching kids left and right so i guess it's

[Melissa]

school's back in touch or something wow
