Episode Overview

In this episode, The Bert Show welcomes Andy from Atlanta Ghost Hunters and Brea, who works at a salvage yard where crashed airplanes are stored.

The segment features spooky audio clips, in-depth analysis, and personal stories from both investigators and staff.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Monthly Ghost Hunter Segments

• The Atlanta Ghost Hunters' annual Halloween visits were so popular that the show now hosts them on the last Friday of every month.
  • [01:13]
• Andy and his team volunteer their time, offering investigations for free.

2. Background on the Location

  • [02:00–02:32]
• The exact location remains confidential due to the sensitive nature of the site.
• Brea works onsite and has had unsettling experiences, prompting her to invite the investigators.

3. Investigation Challenges

• Outdoor investigations are tough due to noise/interference (airport proximity, wind, etc.).
• The team focused on a particularly wrecked helicopter, believing the crash's history might yield paranormal activity.
  • [04:04–04:46]

4. The Evidence Reveal — EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena)

a. Heavy Sigh in the Helicopter

• First recording inside the helicopter: A heavy sigh is heard in the otherwise silent cockpit.
  • [05:23] Andy: “Everything is just dead silence inside this helicopter... this is the very first thing that we caught, which... sounds like somebody with a very heavy sigh.”

b. Ambiguous Voice – "Tony" or "Help Me"

• Another clip features a two-syllable word; Andy hears "Tony" while others think it could be "Help me."
  • [06:11] Andy: “It sounds like Tony. And there was no Tonys with us that day... it definitely sounds like Tony or help me, something that’s two syllables.”

c. "Meow" and Interpretation Debate

• Some audio snippets sound like "get out" or have a “meow”-like noise. Crew debates the interpretation.
  • [07:01] Brea: “Get out, get out, get out.”
  • [07:44] Andy: “Let me out, help me... [it] sounds like a female voice as well.”

d. Daytime Investigation & Safety

• This session occurred during daylight due to hazardous conditions (sharp metal, debris), not at night as commonly assumed.
  • [07:57] Andy: “The fun part about this is this was done during the daytime... it was a pretty dangerous investigation.”

e. Office EVP – Child’s Voice

• A whispery and faint "Hey" is caught on tape, seemingly a little girl’s voice in the office where Brea works.
  • [08:58] Brea: “Yeah, and they pay. [plays clip] Yeah, you could hear it.”
  • [09:21] Bert: “I hate the whispery ones.”

f. Clear Response: "He Panicked"

• During a discussion about an accident, a clear woman’s voice overlays the conversation with “He panicked”—the most striking EVP.
  • [10:21] Andy: “Tell me that ain’t jack, though.”
  • [10:24] Bert: “There’s nobody in there.”
  • [10:31] Andy: “On top of him. ...This is one of the cool ones, because it actually, you know, the loud—none of those... it’s truly responding to what we’re talking about.”

g. Investigative Process & Emotional Impact

• Andy and his team review recordings in the car after investigations. Hearing clear responses can be unnerving.
  • [11:20] Bert: “How’s that make you feel?”
