How old were you when you were adopted?

I was nine.

And that's what I wanted.

I wanna feel loved, and I want a family.

[sighs]

What am I gonna do? We're gonna get you the best help we can, okay?

I did not try to kill my brother.

I love him.

[laughs]

Uh, and I wear that as a badge of pride.

Um, but the reality is there is little that we can achieve to reverse the cost of goods for our members.

But there are some things that we can do.

So, you know, harmonization is about incrementally improving the administrative and regulatory burden on members, which when you're a small business doesn't sound like much, but maybe it means three more social posts or the time to do something better because you're not doing this.

So, um, we're working on that.

The, uh, heads of EPAs, E- Environmental Protection Agencies, agreed to harmonization for the national portal.

[laughs]

And how did other students react to this? Did they tease you about it, give you grief about it? Were those that aren't overtly religious have comments about it? What happened when you did all of this?

Surprisingly enough, a lot of students came up to me, like, during school and asked me about it, and they told me that, like, they agreed with me.

A lot of students even agreed with me and told me that they should have let me put what I wanted on the parking spot, because it wasn't offensive.

So it actually was really comforting to know that other people are out there and just still may be too scared to also, uh, say what's true.

But yeah, it was really comforting to know that they also agreed that it should be allowed to put a Bible verse on a parking spot.

[laughs]

What do you make of that? You think people are just afraid to buck authority, to buck those in power?

Yeah.

That's so cute.

Oh, you are so sweet.

Like, you have no idea.

But I, I literally miss the sound of your voice.

Oh.

Um, but then a few weeks after we got together, my ex sent me this text that he had some of my stuff at his place, and I needed to come get it.

That's so cute.

Oh, you are so sweet.

Um, but then a few weeks after we got together, my ex sent me this text that he had some of my stuff at his place and I needed to come get it.

Parce que c'est tout récent que cette histoire-là a pris fin.

Oui, puis des fois, je me questionne parce que suite à, à la plainte, il est tombé gravement malade d'une maladie dégénérative qui est super rare.

Il est décédé.

Euh, il est décédé en décembre qui a suivi.

Donc euh, puis des fois, je me questionne s'il serait encore en vie, est-ce que je serais encore prise sous son emprise ? Fait que c'est comme puis à un moment donné, je me souviens, ma thérapeute, je lui nommais toutes les prises de conscience, toutes les actions que je prenais.

Puis j'étais comme, s'il viendrait cogner à ma porte demain matin, il a encore du contrôle.

Puis elle était comme : Là, il va falloir que t'ailles voir un psychologue parce qu'elle dit, c'est plus profond que ce que je peux faire.

Comme tu fais aujourd'hui en prenant parole.

Learn from Appalachia.

Yep.

"A normal late summer evening, but my grandpa didn't want me to go outside then.

He'd always say, 'After 6:00 PM, we don't leave the house alone, and once it gets dark, we don't leave at all.' I used to think he was just saying that because there were animals outside or something.

Later I asked him why I couldn't go outside, and my grandma said, 'You don't talk about that or it brings bad luck.' Grandpa just said that there are folks around here who went out and never came back.

But when I asked why, he would just change the subject.

It wasn't until I got older and started helping with hunting and wood cutting and the woods became more a part of my everyday life that my grandpa finally started opening up a little more."He told me the danger wasn't the woods themselves but the things he always called them things that watch you and want you to stay.

[laughs]

Mm-hmm.

They would start to hear those, like, house sandals walking the perimeter of the home first, uh, and then entering.

This was a large one-story house.

I do wanna mention that.

It had a lot of windows, and, um, in order for air to move through before the AC was actually incorporated, uh, they had to leave all of their doors open at night and, and windows propped, for example.

So, uh, they hear this, you know, person start to walk through the house, and outside of their doors, all of them basically report seeing something like an old woman, uh, like, uh, like monje, I guess like a nun.

I'm pulling up my cap because I feel like it's a good representation.

Sure

But there's also something quite dark lurking in this hotel, a haunting past that outshines the memory of these sweet, sweet musical melodies.

A murder.

On Sunday, February 8th, 1965, the reputation of the Gunter Hotel changed forever.

It was a regular morning at the hotel, and the maid, Maria Louisa Guerra, was going about the sixth floor cleaning each room.

She reached the door of room 636.

She knocked.

She heard no response, so she inserted the room key, and with a turn, she heard that familiar click, and turned the handle, opened the door, and what she saw changed her life and the course of history forever.

And I just think he was dumb.

You know?

I, I think it's the first time we're recording a full episode in a haunted-

Yeah.

These ones are, these ones are new, so we're, we don't know what we're getting into.

But basically, we're gonna do this ghost hunt.

The whole ghost hunt is gonna be available on your YouTube channel.
