Tulpa

I really enjoyed, and maybe this is like the thriller aspect of it as well.

Like we know there's nothing on Dougie because that's clearly when Dougie was created as a Tulpa.

But them saying witness protection, which is so funny because if you look at everything with Dougie, like beating the shit out of Ike the Spike and all this, it would make total sense for him to be witness protection.

It's so funny.

Our latest book is called Unbelieving Synchronicities, the latest science stories and research.

Trish's most recent novel is Not Quite Human, and Rob's most recent novel is called Tulpas, a story of mysterious beings created through deep meditation.

If you're watching us on YouTube, we would appreciate it if you'd take a second to click, click the Like, Subscribe, and Notification buttons so you'd never miss an episode.

If you pr- prefer to listen to the show, it's available wherever you listen to podcasts.

Get some help.

"I explained to them that what I am experiencing is real, and encouraged them to read through the Tulpa subreddit." Yeah, they're never gonna do that.

[laughs] Uh, I better research and educate myself about my son's imaginary cockroach girlfriend.

[laughs] I'm good, dude.

But also he could be proud of design.

You know, maybe she's a Tulpa and she's following human nature perfectly, you know, except we don't see her flip open her face.

And when she's killed, she doesn't snap into the air to the Red Room like any of the Tulpas on Earth that we know for sure are created for a purpose.

You know, her body remains on the floor just like Ray Monroe.

Which makes me ask the question, is she maybe a frog bug bearer like the girl in part eight? With a frog bug, it's not a straightforward possession, more like something gestating inside.

And her screen stops while Cooper is still looking up.

he breaks eye contact when the scream finally finishes.

So with that, we can assume that she is a Tulpa and that all Tulpas can kind of flip open their faces, which means that she was created for a purpose.

But yes, I had a dream about it.

I have transference of the Tulpa.

It's just chaos magic.

That's just, that's very normal for this show.

And this is another one that's been coming to my show a lot, but we see this flash with Tulpas in particular.

We definitely see it with the Dougie Tulpa in the next part after this.

We'll see it with the Diane Tulpa when she's shot.

Then this is more of like speculation.

My part, Roger, who's the assistant Dungatod, there's a flash with him.

Personally, I think there's something to be said about all these Tulpas, at least the way I interpret them.

They all have a certain proximity to Mr.

C or someone who's watching on behalf of Mr. C.

Because for all love and light to the director, Zampioni, I've seen some of his films before and they've had varying degrees of success.

He famously made a very bad Frightfest film from 2012 called Tulpa, which is kind of part of Frightfest lore now that it's one of the worst films that's ever shown there.

He made The Well more recently with Lauren Laverna off the back of the Terror of Fire 3 thing.

And...

And they had the little girls that were going to kill another little girl as a sacrifice to Slenderman.

And kind of get the Tulpa effect there.

But then I was mentioning that one time, and the person I was on the show with said, well, but if you can create things by thinking about them, how come every year at Christmas and Easter there aren't creepy Santa Clauses popping out of the woods or Easter bunnies in the spring? Maybe there are.

Who knows?

What if somebody found the pillow that Lovecraft slept on and you slept on it? Would you dream of all these horrific creatures and tentacles and the old gods and all that? Interesting idea for a story, I think.

Yeah.

And as far as the horror stuff goes, do you think that where you have these cases, and we talked about some of the creepypastas and things like that, do you think it's art imitating life or life imitating art or a mixture of both? I know we talked about the Tulpa aspect, but is it possible that just by thinking of something, and I'll point back to, I can't remember the man's name, William Gibson, I think.

He wrote the...
