[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

[Mint Mobile Announcer]

Of $45 for a three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Very spooky.

[Corinne]

Hi.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hey.

[Corinne]

This is Two Girls on Ghost. Two girls, one ghost.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We are your ghostesses. That is Corinne. Hello, I am Sabrina. And this is an encounters episode where we read your emails, your spooky ghostly encounters back to you. And today is. Well, if you're listening, when this episode comes out, it's right before 4th of July. It's officially summer. A lot of people are going on vacation. You're traveling, going to hotels, maybe you're camping. And maybe we'll really wanted to do some more outdoorsy stories. And so we themed this travel vacation Ghost stories from traveling Trips. Trips. Trips.

[Corinne]

Trips. Good. Yes. Right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I am not tripping right now. That actually would be a good theme.

[Corinne]

Tripping balls. Ayahuasca. Oh. Oh, I like that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You putting it in there?

[Corinne]

Yep.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So send us your encounters if you've ever tripped and experienced the paranormal. We'll do a trippy ghost encounter episode. But until then we have ghost stories about traveling. And I really want to start because so we did encounters about camping and hiking a couple weeks ago. And like we said, we had so many encounters from that. And I know 4th of July weekend, people are out at the trails, they're camping, they're grilling some sausages over the fire pit. And I found a way to weasel one of those stories into this episode.

[Corinne]

Okay. Amazing.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And it's quite terrifying.

[Corinne]

Starting off strong.

[Ryan Reynolds]

This is from our listener Zaya. And I think that's how you say your name? Z A Y A. It's a beautiful name. Indescribable creature. Cryptid story. Hello. Boo Babes.

[Corinne]

Hello.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm a new listener, but I'm so happy to have found you. I feel like I found my tribe here. People my age maybe, who are fresh and funny and female and spooky. Ugh. And you make me feel so at home. Anyway, on with the story. Oh my gosh. Zaya goes. And it's like a two to three minute read. I love that you timed it. My story began on a basic camping trip in New Mexico. It was at a place that I had been to about three times a year for many years. So I was very familiar with it and I've been many times since this story happened.

[Corinne]

Wow. Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I would like to preface with the fact that I grew up in the mountains and I'm extremely familiar with all of the wildlife in this area. There really aren't that many large animals. You have your moose, your elk, your mountain lions, et cetera. But all of those animals are fucking obvious. Like you see them and you know what they are. This thing that I saw in no way could be an animal that exists. So my boyfriend at the time and I arrived at our campsite along the river around 5pm we set up camp with my dog and we couldn't see or hear any other campers. The sites are all really far away from each other and it was pretty empty. We had just eaten dinner and we each opened a beer. Only one beer. We're not on drugs. We were not drunk or anything. But I do want to mention the beer for complete clarity and honesty. We were sitting around the fire just enjoying being out there. The person I was with was facing the river behind me while I was facing the road behind him. The fire was between us. My very alert and protective dog was lying on the ground next to us. She is a big, strong, tough girl. Suddenly I look across the fire and I see my boyfriend at the time's eyes go wide. But then I see something moving behind him that took my attention away from his shock. At first I thought maybe it's my dog. But no, she's still lying on the ground and I could see her in my peripheral. The movement behind my then boyfriend became more apparent and I watched as something ran out of the trees into the light of the fire. It stopped right in the middle of the road, directly illuminated by the firelight. And it looked me right in the eyes. It stood on all fours and was almost as tall as my Jeep on all fours.

[Corinne]

What the fuck?

[Ryan Reynolds]

It had long thin legs that ended in more hooves than feet. Its skin was light gray or white, it had no hair and it had a tiny head for its size body. It was completely rounded on the top with huge black holes for eyes. I could see each of its ribs in such detail I couldn't move. You know, fight or flight. Well, no one really mentions freezing in place. I was paralyzed and couldn't move for my life, even if it depended on it, which it might have. It stared at me for a moment, then ran off in a circular path around us. I could not speak, I could not move. I was frozen. What felt like a few minutes later, I looked at my boyfriend and he looked at me at the same time. We both said it's time to go to bed.

[Corinne]

Not, not to leave. It's time to go to bed.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I mean, they had had a drink.

[Corinne]

Yeah, one drink.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We yelled for our dog and silently ran to our tent. I don't think either of us slept that night. We just watched a movie that he had downloaded on his phone like eight times to have sound and distraction for the night. The next day I went to look for tracks and just saw weird little circles in the ground, but nothing out of the ordinary. Besides that, neither my boyfriend nor I said a word about this for the next few days while we stayed there. Then our friends joined us the next day and we also did not tell them anything about it. We just moved on because we had to. As soon as we left the site, we were 20 minutes away from the site and we both looked at each other and said we have to talk about it. Turns out when I had first seen him in shock, he had seen a huge glowing ball of light floating above the water and lighting up its surroundings behind me. As he saw that, I then saw the creature behind him.

[Corinne]

Oh, so he didn't see the creature.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He saw this light. These things apparently moved in unison and came at the same moment and we watched them circle us. I took that as a lesson that if you see something scary in front of you, maybe turn around because there might be something scary behind you as well. Be aware of your surroundings. I was a back and forth believer before this encounter thinking oh, my experiences could totally be explained away or misremembered or whatever. But no, my boyfriend at the time and I were 100% certain of what we saw and now we are both 100% believers and I have been back to that site tons of times to try and investigate it and I have never seen anything like it again. I have dedicated so much of my free time trying to figure out what I saw, and I would love to have some input from you. I drew a picture of it immediately after returning home that day. I attached it below for you to see. P.S. i love your podcast. I think you're amazing people and I'm glad you're around to support the spooky community with laughter and curiosity. Love, Ziya. And you can see the picture.

[Corinne]

Okay. The picture so looks like a flesh pedestrian. But what is making me have pause there is that the hooves and just the sheer size of it. The glowing ball of light. Like, is this an alien?

[Ryan Reynolds]

It does have alien esque attributes. But then it also makes me think of what's that? There's one entity. Not the one in San Francisco. There was one that was, like, caught on camera. And it kind of looks like this.

[Corinne]

Caught on camera?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I think so.

[Corinne]

I don't.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't know what this is, but I feel like flush. Pedestrians almost look more human, don't they?

[Corinne]

Well, I'm specifically looking, thinking about, like, the classic photo. Like this.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, yeah, that's what I'm picturing.

[Corinne]

Which I think, like, when you Google this creature, like, that's the one that comes up of, like, the. Oh, someone had like a hunting cam or something, like a wildlife cam out and captured this beast, this creature.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But then also the fact that it came with this light.

[Corinne]

I know.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And they moved. It's almost like the fact that they didn't exist at the same. Like they existed at the same time, but they didn't exist in the same frame. That both of them were seen independently and moved in tandem.

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And I don't understand that.

[Corinne]

And it made eye contact too. So it was. It was very conscious of them, but it ran away.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So it doesn't feel like it appeared there to do something malevolent, but that when it made eye contact with Zaya, it was like, oh, I gotta get out of here. Like, it was almost startled too.

[Corinne]

Yeah. And also, like, the sheer size of it. I feel like there's. If it wanted to do harm, it easily could have. It was so close to you. And the fact that it's on all four legs, taller than your car. This thing is mad. This is like the size of a moose. Yeah. It's one of those things where I'm like, what would happen if we were there? Like, what. What if we saw that? What if we're sitting at a campground and we see this as paranormal enthusiasts, I think I would.

[Ryan Reynolds]

We'd do the same thing that Zaya did. You freeze.

[Corinne]

Absolutely freeze in complete terror.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

The reality is, when you encounter a different creature, Cryptid, or even a spirit, you have no idea what it's or they are intending to do. It's not just, oh, my God, cool and alien. It's like, no, am I in danger?

[Ryan Reynolds]

And if I saw that, I would absolutely think I'm in danger.

[Corinne]

Yeah. And it's also, I feel like the human instinct in us that comes with identified threats in normal wildlife gets so confused when we encounter something like this, where it's like.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Because you can't rationalize it, your brain is like, what am I? I can't.

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Can't comprehend.

[Corinne]

Am I in danger? Am I not? I feel like I'd black out because my body would be like, let's not remember this.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, I black out a lot. All right, so if anyone's seen anything like this, let us know so we can let Zaya know.

[Corinne]

My lord. Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Who is your lord? Farquaad?

[Corinne]

Yes. No. I, I, I reject his beliefs. Lord Farquaad.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. Anyone who tortures little gingerbread cookies. Yeah.

[Corinne]

Yeah. Not the gumtrop buttons, man. Too far. This is called Beach Airbnb Haunting.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Corinne]

Good morning. I'm a new listener. Whoop. Almost dropped my computer. I'm on episode five. I'm loving the podcast already. There have been only a handful of times anything scary has happened to me. Mostly when I was a baby and some other times when my sister was a toddler and she would see things.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Creepy kids.

[Corinne]

Creepy kids. However, I've never experienced anything like the story that I'm about to share. This story involves my boyfriend's family and myself. For background, my boyfriend and I have been together for four years, and every year his family and I go on a summer vacation. My boyfriend has three brothers. Two of them are younger and one is older. Then there is me and the older brother's wife. This particular vacation happened around two years ago. We went to a beach down in Texas where we rented an Airbnb. It was a cute little house. Galveston. I wonder.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm curious.

[Corinne]

It was a cute little house that did not have any spooky vibes. In the back of this house was a tiny chapel on a hill that comes with the house.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's sick.

[Corinne]

The layout of this house is when you walk in the front door that is located on the side of the house, you enter a small kitchen, and right next to the kitchen on the left are two bedrooms. In the front of the kitchen is the living room, and to the right of the kitchen is a room full of bunk beds that had been added on to the original house. Our first day there, everything went completely normally. We unpacked, we went to the beach, and we ate dinner. The next day, after we came back from hanging out at the beach, I decided I should go take a nap, so. So I went back to the bunk bedroom.

[Ryan Reynolds]

There is nothing better than napping post beach.

[Corinne]

Oh my God. It's so you have to shower first.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

And then that warm.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

About 30 minutes after falling asleep, my boyfriend's youngest brother came and woke me up saying the family heard some loud tapping coming from the ceiling of the bathroom. At first I laughed it off as I was convinced that this was just the house settling and these were the noises. But the tapping would not stop. We listened for what felt like hours and even tried tapping back on the roof to see if this thing would respond. And it did. Multiple times.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I would immediately jump to someone's like.

[Corinne]

Living in the walls, right? Same.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

Later at dinner, we all sat around the table trying to decide a logical reason for what we were hearing. We assumed maybe this is an animal. It was then that my boyfriend's other little brother, who had slept in the living room the night before, had a pale, ghostly look on his face. He then shared that the previous night he was asleep and woke up in the middle of the night, glanced over to the restroom and saw a figure of a little girl in a dress. She was transparent and walked right into the wall. But being half asleep, he thought nothing of it. Him saying this sparked my boyfriend's sister in law to remember that she and her husband had heard footsteps outside of the door to their bedroom. And they said it didn't sound like it would have been any of us walking back and forth in front of their door. Nobody admitted to using the bathroom in the middle of the night, so it was a little weird. But we brushed all of this off. This is a lot of experience to brush off.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, it's also because they're all like such small instances that you could write them off if you experience just your thing. But then once everyone starts to share their experience, it's like, oh shit, we all.

[Corinne]

Yeah. And clearly the tapping was scary enough for them to go wake her up from her nap.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Right. And because it's so incessant, like it won't stop.

[Corinne]

Yeah. After dinner, we once again heard tapping, but this time it sounded as if someone was running across the attic and dragging furniture around. It was a relatively small attic and we were all Freaking out at this point. And soon worked up the courage to take a peek inside of this attic.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Would you do that?

[Corinne]

Hell no. Well, not my physical head.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Right.

[Corinne]

But probably like cell phone recording video on a stick.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

When we did look inside, there was absolutely nothing. No boxes, no animals, no furniture. We were terrified. But we still had two more nights to go here. When we went to sleep that night in the bunk room, it was me, my boyfriend, my boyfriend's two youngest brothers. And around midnight, or 1am I can't really remember, we were all still awake when the youngest brother and I noticed what looked like somebody peeking into our room from the blinds that were next to the bedroom door. We kept staring at the blinds and it would not stop. Eventually, we do all fall asleep. And the next day we keep hearing those same noises. That night, my boyfriend's oldest brother and his wife decided that they did not want to sleep in their room anymore because they kept hearing loud footsteps and they felt really uneasy all throughout the night. So they joined the rest of us in the bunk room. We told them about the blinds incident and they jokingly said that they didn't want anyone watching them sleep. So. So they took a towel to cover the bedroom door's window. The weird thing about this room is that the light switch is located on the outside of the door in the kitchen. As we were all hanging out, we noticed at the foot of the door, through the large gap between the door and the floor, seemed to be a shadow that looked like someone maybe was standing right in front of the door, trying to look inside. Scared, we decided it was definitely time to go to bed. So. So my boyfriend's older brother opened the door only enough to stick his hand out and feel for the light switch. When he did this, he said he felt something cold brush against his hand. And when he took a peek, he saw a translucent white mist floating. He quickly shut the door. His face turned extremely pale. He looked like he was going to throw up. It's safe to say we all slept with the lights on that night. Before we left to go back home the next day, we decided we should do a little bit of research on this house. We learned that the house was built between 1937 and 1938 by a woman named Aline Carter. A L I N E. She was called the White angel because of her flowing white dresses and her love for serving her community. We still are not sure exactly what happened that weekend as the attic was completely empty and. And it was far too loud to be a house settling noise. Yeah, Would love to hear your thoughts on the story, Cheyenne.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wow, Cheyenne. I mean, it almost makes me think there are multiple spirits. Because the attic one feels so different from whatever's peeking in. The one peeking in just seems like it's curious and wants to be included. Maybe feels left out, like you're all sleeping in the same room now. Like, I would want. I'd be like, what about me? But then it's so different.

[Corinne]

It keeps speaking on everyone. I don't even think it's about feeling left out. I think it's just curious.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, but it feels. Doesn't it feel different than the attic and the boot.

[Corinne]

The boot steps. Like the heavy steps going back and forth in front of the oldest brother in his wife's room. That's creepy.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You'll have to let us know where in Texas, because now I'm thinking if it is Galveston, like, well, let me.

[Corinne]

Look up the woman's name.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

Alleyne Carter in Texas.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Because if it is Galveston, like, the amount of people who died there, and there are so many hauntings and possibilities.

[Corinne]

San Antonio, Texas.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, San Antonio is also very haunted.

[Corinne]

Wait, is this the right one? Okay. They might have had multiple houses, because this one looks more like it's a historical museum and not one for. There's definitely no bunk room, and there's a big plaque outside, so that's not right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And it has a cathedral or a chapel on property.

[Corinne]

Oh, she was a poet.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I like her.

[Corinne]

There's so many links about, like, different dates, different mansions and homes. She must have had multiple.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, Cheyenne, you'll have to tell us more, but sorry if we don't have answers for you, because this is not an answers podcast. This is a ghost podcast. I have one.

[Corinne]

Wait, I found it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, where is it?

[Corinne]

It's called Chapel in the Dunes in Old Town Port Aransas. Built for author, astronomer, artist, and poet Aline Carter.

[Ryan Reynolds]

She's everything.

[Corinne]

She's everything. She would share her knowledge with local children and held cake and ice cream socials after Sunday school each week in the chapel, built at one of the highest points in Port Aransas and overlooking the ocean. The outside of the chapel is striking enough on its own, but in 1972, Art John Patrick Cobb painted a whitewashed interior.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Can we add pictures?

[Corinne]

Yes, you can stay at the Chapel Cottage. It's part of the Chapel on the Dunes property, available for rentals. The cottage sleeps eight. The family is also in the midst of renovations on this house and the chapel corners, both of which will be available for rent upon completion Should I.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Send them like an Airbnb message and be like, hey, so can you tell us about the Ghost City house?

[Corinne]

Yeah, Chapel in the Dunes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Are you messaging them?

[Corinne]

I'm trying to look at like if it's available. Okay. Oh, there's a whole website, guys. Chapelonthedunes.org I love this. It's very haunted. I wonder if they're going to be mad about us talking about it being haunted.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, it's not our fault, like if it's haunted, it's haunted.

[Corinne]

Aline Carter opened pathways to higher thought for all who knew her.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Why do I feel like she knew some gateway tapes?

[Corinne]

Right? I feel like that too.

[Ryan Reynolds]

How are your boobs doing, Corinne?

[Corinne]

You know they're newly shaped. I did not get a boob job. I had a baby and so I have a whole new type of boob to fit into a bra.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And what bras do you use?

[Corinne]

Oh, I. I always get Honey Love.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I know. What kind of question was that? Sorry. Because I'm the same. We both are obsessed with and only wear Honey Love bras.

[Corinne]

And honeylove recently launched their new cloud embrace bra which sold out in days. And it's this modern wireless T shirt bra with sturdy, light padded foam cups that feel like a cloud against your skin. It's a wireless bra for people who don't love underwire, which is both of us.

We just covered on our Patreon bonus episode a ton of stories of people who have tried the Gateway tapes. I talk about my own experience trying the Gateway tapes.

[Corinne]

It's so good. Like, I had chills throughout that entire episode. It was wild. It's such a good one. So if you're not already a Patreon member, we do exclusive Patreon only bonus episodes once a month. So it's a full length episode. And that is exactly what we did for the Gateway tapes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So we wanted to give you a little teaser of the episode. It's about six and a half minutes. We hope you enjoy it and head.

[Corinne]

Over to Patreon to check out the rest of the episode. Gateway tapes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

So when I did the research for Gateway Tapes, I found the Reddit threads, which there are so many. And also listeners have emailed us their personal encounters with the Gateway tapes and in preparation for this episode, last night I listened to tape one, you texted.

[Corinne]

Me this, and you were like, I'm gonna text you after to make sure for, like, you to know, check in wise that I'm okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No, I totally had an experience while listening to the tape. And then after that I went to bed because I didn't sleep the night before. Okay. So I'm gonna briefly talk about my experience with the first tape, and then I'll keep updating people throughout because I'm gonna do a tape a day now because.

[Corinne]

Good.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm like, I may as well see this thing through. Yeah, it works. And my biggest takeaway is it kind of reminds me of emdr. So there's a whole thread called meeting deceased loved ones. Why can't they return? And this one was posted from Steel Bandicoot. They wrote, I was in Focus 12 and wanted to talk to my dad who passed a year ago. The image of a baby appeared, and the impression of the message I was communicated was, he can't talk right now. He's just been restarted.

[Corinne]

My fucking God.

[Ryan Reynolds]

No way. Message came up.

[Corinne]

Honestly, I'm so glad that that was the experience. That's kind of hilarious. And it's just confusing enough to be, like, almost not overly emotional about it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I'm also so curious, like, if a baby was recently born. Around him?

[Corinne]

Yeah, in their family, around them.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't know.

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay. And then this is another one. The username was deleted, so I don't know. But they wrote, I've seen my old boss who died of a heart attack in front of a restaurant. And I've spoken to my daughter who had passed away when she was 2. But in my vision, she was older, like a young girl, and looked remarkably like my grandmother when she was a girl. I was in Focus 21. Each time I had these experiences. My first encounter with my daughter, all I could hear was her voice saying, I love you, Daddy. I'm so proud of you. Keep going. I cried for fucking hours after that one and spent the next couple of weeks feeling like I'd lost my mind. The second encounter where she appeared, she asked, you know, don't you, Daddy? I said, know what, baby? She responded, that we never, ever die. I said, yes, love, I know that now. And then she responded, then you need to start living like you're never going to die. I don't even know what that means, but okay, baby, I'll do my best. And she faded away. The third encounter, she said nothing. She just took my face in her hands. And gently kissed me, smiled and faded away. That day. The overwhelming sense of loss that I had carried for years since she died was truly lifted from me.

[Corinne]

My God. This is a post from Reddit from five months ago. Vetta V E T A Vetta I've been frequently revisiting Advanced Focus 10 and Intro to Focus 10 before moving on so I can fully master them. But this morning I encountered something. Recently I've been having trouble fully relaxing my facial muscles. But today it was extremely easy to enter this Focus 10. As I was in this focus, I was listening to the frequencies. I began to see what looked like outlines of multiple tall people standing above me and moving around. That radiated with uncertainty. Like even they weren't sure that they were there either.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh.

[Corinne]

And it was hard to tell if they were here to observe or if they wanted to harm me. After a little while of seeing these silhouettes, they all combined into one white orb of light that radiated with a pitch black glow. I began to question what it was. At first it was a question to myself. And then suddenly my depth perception was immediately sharpened and it felt like there was another face only inches away from mine. And it was like this energy pushed itself through the closed eyes to show me what it was. And this entity had turned itself into a face of indiscernible features. Like if someone had tried to push their face through a sheet. A chill ran down my back and I had goosebumps all over my body. My eyes would not stop twitching at this incredible speed while I was in the presence of this. And I wanted to know more. So I persisted in the F10 state. But the longer I was there, the more it felt like this energy wanted inside of my reball, which pertaining to the Gateway tapes. The reball creates a sense of energetic containment and support around the body.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's like your energy force.

[Corinne]

Yeah, it's supposed to be your, like, safe, comfortable space. You're. Yeah, probably like I'm comparing it to an aura, but that's probably not right.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Your personal space.

[Corinne]

Yeah, your personal space. The longer I stayed with this being an energy, it felt like it was taking me further down into my focus state. My body felt warm and tingly at first, and then my body started to feel like I was departing from it. I was just incredibly uncertain of what the entity's intentions were, which did put me on edge.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Corinne]

And they have drawings which we'll include.

[Ryan Reynolds]

These drawings are so interesting. It almost makes me think of like an alien abduction. Yeah, we don't even need to be high to have these types of conversations.

[Corinne]

No. It's so trippy.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I genuinely. And I say this in a very serious way because I think in the past, I've joked about it, but, like, you are my sister. You're not just my friend.

[Corinne]

Well, I get to experience what being a. Like, I don't know.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You feel like my sister.

[Corinne]

I mean, my relationship with you is different than my relationship with anyone else.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's what I mean. Well, now I'm gonna get emotional. Like, you're. I think you're beyond any friend I've ever had in, like, any lifetime, too. And I feel that, like, deep in my soul, I love. I love you.

[Corinne]

I actually. Sorry, can I say one more?

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, of course.

[Corinne]

Sometimes when I'm having. Now I'm gonna cry. Oh. Sometimes when I'm having a really hard.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Time with Noah, you say, at least I'm not Sabrina.

[Corinne]

No. I think of you as a child, and I'm like, well, like, let me make sure I can do everything I can to make this person feel, like, very emotionally, like, safe. And so I think of you when I'm trying to make myself be completely available to Noah. But I don't know if that's a weird thing to say.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That is the nicest thing anyone's ever said. Corinne, that's beautiful. Can I hug you?

[Corinne]

Yeah. This is a Patreon episode, and we haven't done anything.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wait. Fun. Well, I have an email from listener called. Email from the bar of a haunted hotel. It is from Aubrey. Hello, ladies, Madame Leia and ghost. I've emailed once before about visitations via dreams, but I have so many other experiences, and I want to share this one. Now I live in El Paso, Texas, home to the infamous El Paso High School, which I think we covered a while back. We definitely did.

[Corinne]

I remember that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But I am at this very moment currently sitting at the Paso Del Norte Hotel. Ooh. It has a long history in the city and many ghost stories attached to it. My sister, my best friend, and a couple other close friends came to a ghost tour downtown last year, and this hotel bar was a stop and content warning. This story does involve suicide. So we were told that the story goes that a jilted bride died by suicide jumping off the balcony of the 10th floor. That is where the bar is located. The 10th floor. There are these beautiful balconies off of each end of the bar, and they have tables and chairs and beautiful views of the city. So we came out here for my best friend's birthday and started at the bar across the street, everything was fine. But then the next stop, we came to the hotel bar. And after a couple of drinks we decided to go sit outside on one of the balconies to get some air, take some pretty photos. I got a photo of one of the oldest streets in our downtown and I turned around to look at the hotel behind me. One room window just seemed so out of place. Pitch dark, the curtain was open. As soon as I looked up, I got this overwhelming feeling and I'm not sure what it was, but it made me feel uneasy. My best friend, who's very sensitive and has always communicated with spirits, saw that something was wrong with me and asked, what's up? It looked like my face had drained of everything. Emotion, color. She said it felt like I was gone. So I told her that one dark window is really freaking me out. She looked up and asked, you can see her.

[Corinne]

Stop.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Completely confused. I said, what? No, I just see darkness. But I'm feeling really uneasy. I started crying, uncomfortable, but I'm laughing at the same time because I'm also really confused by what I was feeling. These weren't my feelings, but I was pouring out tears and I just felt heartbroken and like my chest was heavy. My friend was just as surprised as me because we've had many shared encounters with spirits in different ways. And at the same time she said she couldn't believe it affected me so much that I was crying. We were in a beautiful bar with a dj, happiness all around us, but I couldn't keep it together. I literally had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom just to compose myself. She came with me and I asked her what she saw. And she said a woman, a very, very sad woman who was completely heartbroken and felt hopeless that she was watching us from the window. And that when I pointed to the window and she looked up at it, she saw the spirit she thought that I had too. I'm glad I didn't because who knows how I would have reacted if I actually saw her. Would I have even known that she was a spirit? Either way, it was an experience. I'm crying as I write this because just even thinking about the moment brings back all of those feelings. A lot of times I can feel or hear spirits around me and my 7 year old daughter has told me she sees ghosts as well. There was a male spirit in our apartment that she could see who she said would watch her sleep.

[Corinne]

Oh great.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It scared her and she asked me to tell him to leave. So I did. And it doesn't seem like there have been any other issues for her, and she completely stopped mentioning him. One day, I was at work. I went to the restroom, and every time I would walk in, I would look across under all of the stalls to see which one was available. This time, it was a quieter day in the office, and there wasn't anyone in the bathroom. So I made my way to the last stall. But as I walked, every toilet I passed flushed.

[Corinne]

That's weird.

[Ryan Reynolds]

They are motion censored, and all of the doors were closed. So I thought, okay, that's weird, but maybe I just missed someone in here.

[Corinne]

But they all came in. Yeah, but all like, boom, boom, boop. Like that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's like automatic lights turning on when you walk. Yeah. But then as I was going to the bathroom, the toilet I was using flushed. I kept my cool and thought, well, all the other ones flush. I guess this one's just taking its turn. Ha ha. But no, I finished up. I went to wash my hand, and I hear two more flushes. I booked it out of there and went straight back to my friend's desk. And she gave me a weird look as I walked up. I was like, something crazy is going on in the bathroom. All of the toilets were flushing, and nobody was in there but me. She just calmly said, yeah, well, the ghost from your house is here with you. He was walking with you all the way to my desk.

[Corinne]

What in the world?

[Ryan Reynolds]

I looked at her, and I was like, please tell me you're joking. She was dead serious. So we talked to our ghost like two crazies in the middle of a quad of cubicles. And she told him, you need to leave Aubrey alone. You're scaring her daughter, and you can't go home with her. You could stay with me instead and come home with me, but leave Aubrey and her daughter alone. And he doesn't make me, like, slightly.

[Corinne]

Sad for a ghost to experience rejection.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I know. And also, like, what's the story? He doesn't mean to.

[Corinne]

Right?

[Ryan Reynolds]

But he never followed me home again. He went home with my friend, and she felt home the whole next day while working from home. Then that evening, she went to her cousin's house, which has always been very spiritually active, and he followed her there. She felt him the whole time. Apparently, the front door kept opening and closing on its own, and it completely freaked out their friend, who had never been to the house. But when my friend went home, the spirit didn't follow her. He stayed at her cousin's house with other spirits that had been there for well over 30 years.

[Corinne]

Oh, he has friends.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, now he has friends.

[Corinne]

Oh, I am happy for him. This is a nice ending for this spot spirit.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And apparently her cousin, who has lived in this house for a very long time, has never been able to sleep peacefully until that night. Ever since then, she's been sleeping like a baby. So maybe those ghosts were lonely, too. And two lonely ghosts, they met each other, and then all the spirit activity, like, quieted down because everyone's at peace.

[Corinne]

I wonder if they all knew each other. And he was, like, the one spirit who kept following other people, waiting for the time that he gets to reconnect. Reconnect with his family that we're all waiting for, with, like, for him somewhere. And this was it. I don't know, but I love this harmony.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Boom. I'm picturing a ghostly love story. Anyway, it's wild, but this ghost is no longer bothering myself or my daughter, and that's what matters. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope your ladies are doing fabulously. Can't wait to catch up on your podcast and hear what's going on present day besides what you post on Instagram. See you on the other side, Aubrey.

[Corinne]

Wow.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I like that.

[Corinne]

I know.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I like that one too.

[Corinne]

I like that there's a happy ending. You know, the person who absorbed him as a house spirit sleeps soundly. Although, does she even think the house is haunted anymore? Like, I do wonder if this completed whatever, like, journey all of the spirits had and they all moved on together.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't know, but I like that this ghost traveled. Like, this was a story about a haunted bar. Hotel bar. So if you ever go visit. But the ghost went on a trip too.

[Corinne]

Yeah. And it sounds like he got to leave the bar and find a happy home.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I don't think he came from the bar, but. Oh, got to leave Aubrey's house.

[Corinne]

Got to leave Aubrey's house, however he.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Found her and find out a happy home. Yeah. Yeah.

[Corinne]

Dang. Like the first part about the bar and, like, looking up and seeing the window and everything, it did remind me of. Was it Cervantes Ballroom or bar?

[Ryan Reynolds]

There was, like, someone in Denver.

[Corinne]

Yeah, wasn't it that one where. Because we went to the second floor and it was all boarded up, and I swear they said that they see sometimes out of one of the windows that's boarded up, they'll see a woman looking out who had worked there when it was a brothel, and it reminded me of that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, there's also just so many stories of hotels where a jilted lover or you know, a really sad story where a woman died by suicide.

[Corinne]

Yeah.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And that sadness is so heavy and emanates throughout the hotel.

[Mint Mobile Announcer]

But I think it's also very important for our male listeners and for men out there to also get help when they need it. Six million men in the US suffer from depression every year. It is often undiagnosed. And so if you feel that way or if you know someone who feels that way and you're feeling the weight of the world, you should talk to someone.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay, great.

[Corinne]

Hey beautiful spooky witches.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Thank you.

[Corinne]

Thanks. My name is Jaden and you can definitely use my name if you ever read the story. I've sent you a couple emails before, but for some reason I didn't think to send you this one. But you're in luck because this is a story that makes me think a bald male ghost is watching me sleep.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh.

[Corinne]

I'm originally from Wisconsin and I've been traveling a bit for work. So I flew into St. Louis, Missouri for a two day training and I stayed in a hotel called the Shipping Sheraton Westport Chalet Hotel.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I feel like so many haunted hotels are now owned by Sheraton.

[Corinne]

Right? I know. Also, here's my pitch to change the name of that because that's doesn't flow.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, just call it the New Haunted.

[Corinne]

Hotel or Haunted Chalet.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh. Ooh. Sounds very Switzerland.

[Corinne]

It does. This hotel has a nice check in area and overall it was a fine stay. I get to the hotel, I check in at the beautiful lobby. I'm told my room is on the second floor. I take the elevator down to the second floor. I think nothing of the fact that I was standing on the ground level of the lobby but had to go down to the second floor. What in the parallel universe slash upside down type shit is this? So I get in the elevator, I push the down arrow and right when it opens, I immediately thought, whoa, spooky. Now the creepy with the heaviness. Yeah, the creepy kid in me was nervously excited. I just stood there still in the elevator and kept feeling the need to constantly look around the elevator as if there was something energetically different hopping out of the elevator. My eyes go wide at the creepy, never ending narrow hallway. And when I say creepy, I want you to think the hallway from the Shining, but long enough that I couldn't even see the end of it. And guess what? My room was at the very end. Great. I thought. Put me at the very end of this creepy as fuck hotel. Alright. After struggling to get my luggage down the gigantic hallway, I'm finally to my room. It was a nice room, two beds, a desk, rolling office chair and a cushy armchair in the corner by the window facing the tv. I do admit I am always A little skeptical of armchairs in bedrooms. I feel like maybe there's something always wanting to sit in the chair observing me. However, I didn't get that ominous feeling about this chair or this room. I even took the bed that was right next to the armchair because it was the farthest from the door. So I do my normal routine when I get into the new space. I open a window, I introduce myself to the room, I set intentions a sage using my homemade sage spray.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wow. You do this every time.

[Corinne]

Yeah. This is your prepared jade. Wow.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I love it.

[Corinne]

It was a long day of travel and work, so I simply created some social media content for my small business. I run a wellness company called Jade Euphoria Wellness to offer women body image and food freedom coaching. I showered, I ordered room service and I was getting ready to go to sleep, getting ready for bed. On night one, I had to plug into an outlet and the only outlet that would work for this plug was behind the armchair in the corner. Though I didn't feel anything negative, I somehow caught myself right when I approached the chair and reached for the outlet saying just gotta plug this in. As if I subconsciously felt the need to do a polite Midwest oh, just gotta scooch past ya type thing to the armchair. Wow. It was not long before I was peacefully dozing off on the first night when I suddenly awoke to what sounded like footsteps and movement uncomfortably close. I sit up, I look around thanking myself for leaving the bathroom light on for a little bit of light in the dark. But there was nothing, right? I kept looking around, thoughts whooshing through my sleepy mind. It had to have been in the hallway. It sounded like it was in the room though. Am I seriously in a haunted hotel? Everywhere's haunted. I saged. They're probably nice entities if they're here. What time is it? The clock reads 3:10am Motherfucker, I say to myself, taking deep breaths. I was able to doze back off. But much to my nervous system's dismay, it wasn't long before I woke to a bang on my ceiling. My heart's pounding. I sit up again, trying to convince myself that I just have drunk loud upstairs visitors. I tried to ignore the creepy thought that While drunk at 3:30am on a Tuesday morning, I'm trying to relax. I just keep listening. There were definitely indistinct movement noises shuffling about, but I couldn't quite figure out where they were coming from. Was it my hallway upstairs? I just asked the energy in the room and my spirit guides to keep me safe to please Allow me to sleep.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Especially being alone like your first night and staying in a new place. You don't. You're not familiar with the sounds. There could be someone who woke up to go to the bathroom, dropped their phone or dropped like knock something over on the way to the bathroom and yeah, yeah, you don't know where the song.

[Corinne]

Right. And also like maintenance. Room service. Yes. Like so many different things. Collecting towels or whatever for turning over.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Rooms really early at 3:30 in the morning.

[Corinne]

I don't know when the first shift starts. Long ass hallway. There's a lot of rooms. I still have no clue what was happening during the witching hour in the Chalet Hotel. I am nothing if not a creepy kid at heart. So of course I do try to research the hotel and nothing. I do know that this has been a hotel for at least 30 years, but I have nothing to report on the building before that. My second night there was quite restless but not due to any random noises. So it was time to leave and head back to Wisconsin. I thanked the room for caring for me. I asked that nothing follows me. I say goodbye. A whole travel day later, I'm in my own cozy bed in my own home. I'm ready to drift off to sleep. I slept so well that night. With only one bizarre exception. I woke up in the morning in a true state of confusion. I looked around my bedroom to figure out where I am and figure out if I'm awake. And FYI, this never happens to me. And within 30 seconds I realized that the confusion was all in a dream. In this dream, I was at home in my exact bedroom. Laying in my bed, sleeping. I was comfy. So comfy. But something startled me awake in the dream. As if knowing something else was there in my dream. I opened my eyes abruptly. I jump at the sight of this chubby, bald white man sitting in the exact same armchair that had been in the hotel room.

[Ryan Reynolds]

He travels with the armchair.

[Corinne]

He does. He was positioned at the right side of my bed exactly the way that it had been positioned in the hotel room. I scolded, you can't watch people sleep. And what are you doing here? Who are you? I honestly don't remember much or if he said anything in response. But I do remember him being kind of agreeable and realizing I was right. My energy towards him shifted. It was calmer. It was kinder. Though I did get up out of bed and I escorted this man out of my house.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Escorted. Escorted, it sounded like you said. Squirted this man out of my house. Water gun get out bedside.

[Corinne]

Get out.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Have a gun with, like, sage oil in it.

[Corinne]

Ooh, that's actually a good idea. When I woke up in real life, I was so confused. I still haven't decided if this was just a weird dream or if maybe that man had been sitting with me in my hotel the whole time and just waited until I got home to let me know that he was in his chair. Was this a dream visitation? I sure as hell had no control over what happened in it or what was said because I totally would have asked him if he was a spirit visiting if I had control and had any say in it. An extra element that makes me think that maybe this wasn't just a dream was that it was just so clear when I woke up. Like, I still had the visceral feeling in my body. I immediately recognized it as something different, but something that I couldn't quite put my finger on. What do you guys think? Is this hotel haunted? Is this an awkward ghost visitation? I have attached some photos of the creepy hotel, but I'm just now realizing how off the vibes must have been, because looking at these pictures, this place looks fine. See you hopefully on this side, but also the other side. Jaden.

[Ryan Reynolds]

All right, I'm gonna look at the photos.

[Corinne]

It is funny because I was expecting, like, the creepiest, like, backrooms looking place. And like Jaden says, it does kind of look normal. Pretty normal.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But the hallway does have, especially the way the lights are. It does have this weird illusion. It almost looks like a trick hallway where it feels so long, but then short. You know, when you look at those, like, circles of the black and white, Right. It looks like they're moving. It kind of has that feeling.

[Corinne]

Yeah, it feels a little Alice in Wonderland where you're gonna walk, walk, walk, and it feels like it's expanding and, like, moving further as you continue on. It does feel that way.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And I hope that you haven't seen this man since. It's almost like he was with you at your house because he wanted to travel with you just for a second. Yeah, he was curious about you as you were about him in that moment. But, like, it sounds like he respected your boundaries, even if it was, you know, a half sleep, half dream state version of you saying you're not allowed to watch people sleep. Like he knew he shouldn't be doing that.

[Corinne]

It's also so odd. Jaden felt kind of the vibes from the chair when they're plugging into their electronics and stuff. But at the same time, it makes me curious about the chair. Like, is this some guy who stayed at the hotel? Is this someone who was following someone else and was like, oh, this is a sweet chair, a sweet spot. I'm gonna stay here. Or like, is he somehow attached to this chair because he's travel like you said, he's traveling in the chair.

[Ryan Reynolds]

It's a. It's a chair traveling.

[Corinne]

Chair, chair jail. He can't. It's a chair jail.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, oh, don't sit in the chair. You'll get attached to it.

[Corinne]

I don't know.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I do have one story to end us on, and it's about a hotel and a ghost in a hotel.

[Corinne]

Okay.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And it's from our listener, Mandy, and it's called Ghosts Felt Me Up.

[Corinne]

Sort of interesting.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Hi there, gorgeous human beings. I'm sending this as promised in regards to a DM message I sent the two girls. One ghost Instagram. So, as I said in the message, I was listening to campfire stories 27 to Marissa's many Tucson stories. And she said, Tucson is very haunted. And it jogged my memory of what happened to me when I was in Arizona. I truly got chills thinking about it. But now that I think about it, I think it was Phoenix, but still jogged my memory nonetheless.

[Corinne]

Arizona.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. Anyway, my cousin and I were on vacation at Point Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort. Also a mouthful. Our room was nice and swanky. Had two beds, a small living room like area, and the windows in the room had these usual thick curtains that most hotels use. So when we closed the doors to the room, it plunged the room into complete darkness. I can't sleep with an open door, so a dark room had to suffice. On our last night there, I sort of woke up and thought I saw my cousin out of the corner of my eye, lying back down, I remember seeing something white and flowy, so I assumed that she had just come back into the room from the bathroom. I didn't think anything of it, and I turned over to go back to sleep. I was laying on my left side facing away from my cousin with my right arm straight on my hip like this. And I think I had my right leg pulled up, so this caused my hand to hang a bit with my palm facing my cousin. So kind of like this. You're the cousin? I'm Mandy. As I was falling asleep, I felt someone caress the inside of my palm all the way to the tips of my fingers.

[Corinne]

Kind of feels nice.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That does feel nice. My brain automatically thought it had to be my cousin making sure I was there, so it didn't scare me until the next morning. I was like, hey, so why did you caress my hand when you got back from the bathroom? And she was like, what? I didn't. I didn't even get up to use the bathroom last night. I told her I saw her coming back from the bathroom. She's like, I swear I never went to the bathroom. I never woke up in the middle of the night. Luckily, this happened on our last night at the hotel, because I don't think I could have stayed there again after having that experience. It still haunts me when I think about it. No, thank you. Anywho, that's my Arizona story. Stay spooky. See you ladies on the other side. Mandy.

[Corinne]

Okay, but in this spirit's defense, maybe they were up and moving about realized you had stirred awake because that is such a, like, gentle, like, caressing. It almost makes me think that they were like, oh, like, oops. Like, go back to sleep.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah, I didn't mean to.

[Corinne]

I didn't mean to wake you.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But now I'm gonna touch you gently.

[Corinne]

Like, what a crap. This does feel good. This does feel good.

[Ryan Reynolds]

I know.

[Corinne]

And it's normally when you touch yourself, like, you don't really feel it. Yeah. You know, like, when someone else, like, does your scalp or, like.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Well, it's because you're anticipating the touch. So it doesn't feel as good as when someone else is touching you.

[Corinne]

Have you heard sometimes when identical twins say. I've heard it before. That, like, with certain people, it feels like when their twin touches them, that it feels like when they touch themselves.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Oh, not like when they share consciousness.

[Corinne]

Yeah, not at all. But I've heard it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

You know what I saw? Is that the woman who plays the nanny in the parent Trap. What's her name? She's also in Abbott Elementary. I love her.

[Corinne]

Yes.

[Ryan Reynolds]

What's her name?

[Corinne]

Lisa Ann Walter.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That's her name.

[Corinne]

That's her name.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wait, let me see.

[Corinne]

That's.

[Ryan Reynolds]

That is not her.

[Corinne]

Well, in the parent Trap, she's chessy.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Wait, that's her real name?

[Corinne]

Lisa Ann Walter. What did you think it was not that.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Like, that just feels.

[Corinne]

Not her, because she does feel like a Chessie. Well, she actually, to me, even though the parent trap is, like, iconic, and she's iconic in it, I do think in Abbott elementary, that feels like the most believable character for her. She's so good at it.

[Ryan Reynolds]

She is chessy, but. Okay, but. So she has mirror twins that were born on the day that the parent trapped twins October 11th were born.

[Corinne]

She does.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. And they're mirror twins. So they are like identical, but they're mirror of each other. And so one of them's left handed, one of them is right handed. And they were born on the day the parentrap twins were born.

[Corinne]

That's crazy. I have to look her up. Okay. Lisa and Walter twins.

[Ryan Reynolds]

But she was like, I think Nancy Meyers cursed me or put a hex on me.

[Corinne]

Oh, she has two boys. Well, she has four children, but the boys are mirror twins. Isn't that wild? That is wild.

[Lowes Advertiser]

Wow.

[Corinne]

Interesting.

[Ryan Reynolds]

And she was like, my dream was for them to fence and eat peanut butter and Oreos. Yeah. Replay that scene. But I think that's so interesting, which also is like kismet. And I feel like the universe puts things into your life and plays them out in weird ways. I just think it's fascinating. That was a fun little tidbit that I saw when I was scrolling TikTok because I have been doing it so, so much.

[Corinne]

Flashback to last year when you're like, I never go on TikTok.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah. And then life happens and you need to disassociate and you lay in bed and rot with TikTok.

[Corinne]

Yeah.
