    • A South region paranormal experienceA young boy's encounter with a man who looked like him in the South, believed to be related, sparked a series of unexplained experiences. Despite efforts to rid the house of negative energy, the paranormal activity continued, emphasizing the belief that the land and history of the South may be intertwined with the unexplained.

      The South, a region known for its unique culture and history, is also home to some of the most intriguing and creepy true stories. One such story, shared by Chris B, involves a paranormal experience that left a lasting impression on him as a young child. While spending the night with his dad's girlfriend, Chris woke up to see a man standing over him. The man looked like Chris, leading him to believe they might be related. After the man disappeared, Chris later met a cousin who looked exactly like him. Despite attempts to rid the house of any negative energy, the experiences continued. This story highlights the belief that the land and history of the South may be intertwined with the unexplained and supernatural. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, these stories serve as a reminder that the world, and even our own backyards, can be filled with mysteries and intrigue.

    • A deep connection between history, heritage, and the supernaturalThe narrator's experiences with paranormal activity on his property are rooted in the land's history and heritage, shaping his beliefs and leaving him unsure of the intentions of the entities he encounters.

      The narrator's experiences with paranormal activity on his property, including witnessing spirits performing rituals and being physically attacked in his home, are deeply rooted in the history and heritage of the land. Despite the disbelief and unease of others, the narrator believes that the land is rich with supernatural entities and is determined to gather evidence to prove it. This belief has shaped his experiences and continues to influence him to this day. Another takeaway is the unsettling nature of encounters with the unknown, as the narrator's experiences ranged from peaceful to terrifying, leaving him unsure of the intentions of the entities he encountered. Overall, the narrator's story highlights the complex and sometimes frightening connection between history, heritage, and the supernatural.

    • A childhood filled with nature and mysteryThe speaker's childhood in the woods was marked by the beauty of nature, but also unexplained encounters with the unknown, leaving a lasting impact on their imagination and sense of wonder.

      The speaker's childhood in a secluded Victorian home in Northern Louisiana was filled with vivid memories of nature and imagination, but also unexplained encounters with the unknown. The speaker recalls the beauty of the woods, full of tall pine trees and a constant temperature, but also the warnings from their mother about the dangers of bears and the presence of vampires in the woods. One day, while playing with their husky puppy, Marcy, the speaker encountered a strange growling noise and saw a small girl in the woods. The encounter left the speaker feeling both frightened and intrigued, adding to the sense of mystery that surrounded their childhood. Despite the warnings and the unexplained events, the speaker's imagination and love for nature led them to explore their surroundings and create a garden in the yard. The encounter with the girl remains a vivid memory that the speaker has only shared with their mother. Overall, the speaker's memories of their childhood in the woods are filled with both beauty and unexplained encounters, leaving a lasting impact on their imagination and sense of wonder.

    • The girl in the woods left a lasting impressionEncountering the unknown can instill fear and confusion, highlighting the power of our perceptions and the importance of listening to children's experiences

      The encounter with the girl in the woods left a lasting impression on the narrator, despite being dismissed by his mother as an imagination. The girl's unique physical features, especially her reflective eyes, instilled a sense of dread and fear in the narrator. Her unexplained presence in the woods and her strange behavior, such as her cold smile and sharp teeth, added to the mystery and fear. The incident left the narrator feeling scared and confused, and his mother's dismissive attitude only added to his sense of unease. The experience highlights the power of the unknown and the impact it can have on our emotions and perceptions. It also raises questions about the limits of our understanding and the importance of listening to children's experiences.

    • The importance of truth and the power of legendsDiscovering family secrets and encountering local legends taught the speakers valuable lessons about the importance of truth and the power of legends to explain the unknown

      Sometimes the truth can be hidden behind comforting lies. The speaker in the text was kept in the dark about her family's homelessness, and the presence of vampire-like creatures in her old home were kept hidden from her. This experience taught her that not everything is as it seems, and that sometimes, the unknown can be scary but also intriguing. Another takeaway is the power of legends and local stories. The Goatman Bridge in Denton, Texas, was believed to be haunted, and the speakers' exploration of the bridge led them to encounter strange graffiti and an unexplained experience. This experience showed them that sometimes, the unexplained can be explained through local legends and stories. Lastly, the convenience of technology can make our lives easier, as shown by the McDonald's app offering $0 delivery fee with a minimum purchase. However, it's important to remember that there may be additional fees and limitations. Overall, these experiences taught the speakers valuable lessons about the importance of truth, the power of legends, and the convenience of technology.

    • Unexplored urban areas can lead to paranormal beliefsEncountering unexplained experiences in urban exploration can leave a lasting impact and belief in the paranormal

      The unexplained experiences encountered during urban exploration can leave a lasting impact and belief in the paranormal. Bobby and a friend had a strange encounter while exploring Goatman's Bridge, feeling a presence, hearing noises, and even being touched. Despite finding no explanation, the experience left Bobby believing in the paranormal. Similarly, Bobby and three friends had planned an exploration of abandoned houses, gathering supplies and equipment. However, during their exploration, they encountered unexplained noises and feelings of being watched, leaving them with a sense of unease and a belief in the unknown. These experiences serve as a reminder that sometimes the unexplained can lead to new beliefs and perspectives.

    • Encounters with the Unexplained: Haunted Houses and Sinister FiguresUnexplained encounters with haunted houses and sinister figures can leave us feeling uneasy and fearful, reminding us of the unknown and potentially dangerous things in our world.

      The group of teenage boys in Georgia experienced a series of eerie encounters while exploring abandoned houses. At the first house, they felt uneasy after discovering a toy tractor in the attic. In the second house, they were startled by graffiti on the wall instructing them to "get out now." After leaving that house, they argued about whether to return, but upon entering again, they found more ominous messages and strange illustrations. Despite feeling uneasy, they continued to the next houses, but the second house seemed particularly haunted. At the second house, they saw a tiny, skull-like figure looking down at them from an upper window. The group decided it was an evil spirit and left quickly, never wanting to return. In another incident, a family was traveling from Florida to Washington and hired a man from the internet to help them move. However, on their previous trip to Florida, they had a terrifying encounter with a white truck that followed them for miles, leaving them feeling uneasy and fearful. These experiences serve as reminders of the unexplained and potentially dangerous things that can be encountered in the world around us.

    • Be wary of strangers, even in seemingly helpful situationsStay cautious and vigilant when dealing with strangers, especially in unfamiliar environments. Trust should be earned, not assumed. Have a support system and be prepared for unexpected situations.

      Trust should be earned and not assumed based on initial appearances or promises. The speaker's experience with a seemingly helpful moving man turned into a harrowing ordeal involving a strange following truck and threatening behavior. Despite initial agreement due to the financial incentives, the situation quickly deteriorated into a dangerous situation. The incident serves as a reminder to be cautious and vigilant when dealing with strangers, especially in unfamiliar environments. Additionally, the experience highlights the importance of having a support system and being prepared for unexpected situations. The south, with its unique culture and history, can also present challenges and dangers, making it essential to stay alert and aware.

    Intro :50

    Brandon Massullo’s Bio 1:31

    Patrick and Brandon reminisce about the Haunted America Conference a few years back. 3:41

    Brandon has co-authored three academic papers in recent years. These include Things That Go Bump in the Literature: An Environmental Appraisal of “Haunted Houses”, Environmental "Gestalt Influences" Pertinent to Studies of Haunted Houses, and Understanding Consumer Enchantment via Paranormal Tourism: Part I—Conceptual Review. 6:27

    Environmental variables and cues. Going over the last 20 years of research into “haunted houses.” 8:43

    Is the environment what’s causing people to have ghostly experiences? 11:47

    “It’s not just environmental. It’s actually a mixture of things. It’s a mixture of environmental. It’s a mixture of perceptual, cultural beliefs, psychological or emotional states. It’s sort of a mixture of all these different things going on.” 13:25

    It’s about people and their surroundings. 16:00

    “…we took away the emotional or the unique personal experience and we made it more about finding something in the environment. But I think it’s an interaction. It’s the right person in the right environment or the right moment. This person is part of the experience. If we ignore that person, we’re ignoring fifty percent of this paranormal, or ghostly apparition, or haunt-type phenomenon that occurred.” 19:45

    What is “gestalt”? 25:55

    Cues, creepy dolls, and paranormal tourism. 27:34

    Enchantment and paranormal tourism. 29:36

    Very soon Patrick gets to visit Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. What do you do when you walk into a haunted location? How do you approach it? 35:13

    What is my motivation? What do I want to get out of this? 38:10

    Four years ago Brandon told Patrick that he has never had a paranormal experience. BREAKING NEWS! This is no longer true! Brandon breaks it down. 41:37

    Patrick tells the story of the night the Other Side reached out in an obvious way, but he ignored it! Why? 45:25

    Ghostbusters and the library ghost. “Because if I accept that as something, my world changes.” 47:07

    Brandon recounts this haunting experience in an upcoming book, Haunted Medina County Ohio. 49:25

    Brandon’s proton pack is his most treasured possession. 50:33

    Final thoughts from Brandon. 54:00
