That was a good one. I like, it was a good one. I got, I got it like that. I always like the ones that I understand because it's like, you know, when I, when it goes right over my head, that's when it's like, whoopsy,

Speaker 0 00:01:08 And I'm Rayna Letz. Lunatic Soup. I feel like that was the shortest intro we've done yet.
Speaker 1 00:01:46 I think that was pretty
Speaker 0 00:01:47 Short. I know. We didn't really bullshit that time. No, we didn't. We
Speaker 1 00:01:50 Didn't. That's okay. That's fine. That's fine. I, I think we wanna get the cider done. Well, no.
Speaker 0 00:01:53 Yeah. Be quite honest, <laugh> for having some tech technical difficulties before the show started. I mean, 30 minutes of technical difficulties trying to get our mics working, which God only knows if they're even working, but, so we decided to save our siters for, we wanna crack it on, you know, so you guys can hear that open. But that means that we haven't been able to drink any, and so we just like, can we get to cider time yet now? But
Speaker 1 00:02:15 I do have to share this text, my daughter. Okay. And I are having, okay, because she's not supposed to text me when we're recording,
Speaker 0 00:02:20 Right? Yeah. You told her
Speaker 1 00:02:21 No, because she text me anyway. And so I responded to her. I said, I'm sorry, the person you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please try again later. She goes, you're mean <laugh>?

Speaker 0 00:02:40 About, yeah. Well, let's get a cider in us first, because let's be honest. So it's the, you wanna pronounce that for us? Teton. Teton Cider works from Washington State. It is a blackberry hard cider. This is our second blackberry cider. Got it.
Speaker 1 00:02:50 Got it. From the Costco.
Speaker 0 00:02:52 The cost of the co. It's sounds delightful. I love anything Blackberry, so I'm into it.

Speaker 1 00:03:25 Woohoo. That glass is almost too small. Why
Speaker 0 00:03:27 Do I feel like we're gonna have to call my husband again for, um,
Speaker 1 00:03:30 Resources? Because it feels like that kind of night I almost
Speaker 0 00:03:32 Actually brought in, my kids all have mini fridges in their room and I debated about putting a mini fridge up here, like with ciders in it so that, you know, in case we need, um, backups. But it is a Tuesday night, so I figured we're trying to be on a good behavior.
Speaker 1 00:03:43 Okay. <laugh>. Cheers. Cheers. Alright. Right. Let's do what it tastes like. Ooh, I like that. Oh,
Speaker 0 00:03:52 It's perfect. Yep. It really is. Wow.
Speaker 1 00:03:53 It's like the perfect sweetness. It perfect dryness. I funny
Speaker 0 00:03:57 Like a blackberry that's not fully ripe yet. Like, you know when you need a blackberry and it's like little
Speaker 1 00:04:00 Sour
Speaker 0 00:04:01 Good, but a little sour. Yeah. It's not like that. Super sweet. But No, it's good.
Speaker 1 00:04:04 I like that a lot. Yeah, man. We gotta try some more Teton.
Speaker 0 00:04:08 I know. We need to go. We, our goal is to get to total wine and more and like, go and look at there. Get
Speaker 1 00:04:12 The single cans. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:04:13 Single cans of cider and go and just buy a bunch of 'em. Local ones that look delightful.
Speaker 1 00:04:17 We used to have a little local grocer here. It was like Tom's or something. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And they had a whole selection of ciders, but it's not there anymore. I think it shut down during Covid. Oh. Sad. They had a ton of ciders. They had one that was like an apple pie and it tasted like a slice of apple pie. Delightful. Yeah. I mean sweeter obviously.
Speaker 0 00:04:35 But I'm a big fan of like peach, cis. Like those are when I go to Canadian Canada, I'm gonna bring us back some Canadian ciders just because, but those are really sweet. So we gotta, or you
Speaker 1 00:04:45 Could bring me to Canada.
Speaker 0 00:04:46 I mean, come on. Otherwise I have to go sit there with my parents and my kids.
Speaker 1 00:04:50 I'll sit there with your parents. No, but
Speaker 0 00:04:51 If you're with me, it won't just be like me and my parents. I love my parents, but you know, we
Speaker 1 00:04:56 Do have to get down to incline because they just said that they are starting to have their summer selection. Portland strawberry pineapple.
Speaker 0 00:05:05 Whoa. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Okay. 10 out of 10. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>.
Speaker 1 00:05:08 I mean, our anniversary's coming up.
Speaker 0 00:05:10 It is. It's actually on like June 4th I think. I think.
Speaker 1 00:05:13 Something like that. Yeah. Cuz I think whatever Texas birthday party was. Well
Speaker 0 00:05:15 I, that's what I was looking at it. Um, cuz I saved a picture of us and I'm pretty positive it was June 4th. Cuz his birthday's June 5th. I thought it was later, but I'm pretty sure. So we're like,
Speaker 1 00:05:24 We're they're almost there. We're almost there. I'm
Speaker 0 00:05:26 Actually trying to convince him to let us do like a barbecue at our house and like invite some friends. But we'll see. You know, we'll see what Mr. Booboo says.
Speaker 1 00:05:32 You can just invite me. I know that would work.
Speaker 0 00:05:35 That's fine with me. <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:05:37 How was your week?
Speaker 0 00:05:39 Well, it's, it's Tuesday. So
Speaker 1 00:05:41 <laugh>. Yeah, but okay, when I say that, it's like, since we last recorded
Speaker 0 00:05:44 Oh yeah. Since we last recorded. Well it was pretty good. We, um, had my daughter's fifth birthday party.
Speaker 1 00:05:50 That was a good time. It
Speaker 0 00:05:51 Was a good time. You came over.
Speaker 1 00:05:52 It was a good time. After the kids left.
Speaker 0 00:05:54 Yes, after the kids left. I warned Meg cuz this is like, as you all know, that we are newer friends, which means that she has not been, um, around for my other children's like big birthdays. Cuz especially since Covid, we weren't doing them as much, but we used to have these huge parties where we'd always get like a massive bouncy house and slip and slide. And I am the kind of parent that I don't think there should be a kid's party that doesn't have booze because it is not fair to the other parents.
Speaker 1 00:06:20 Your husband was literally like making sure I did not have an empty glass. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:06:24 Which is not surprising. That's he's really good at that <laugh>. But, so it was Meg and then my two best friends from high school, Jenna and Jacqueline, my friend Cassie stayed for a while after two. Um, our friend Jess was there and we'd after partied and then everyone left and then we were all gonna go. Not you, you were gonna go home. Yeah. And we were all gonna go out to the bar and then we couldn't get an Uber. So we decided let's go on the slip and slide instead and
Speaker 1 00:06:47 Okay. But that was so much fun.
Speaker 0 00:06:49 It was so much fun. I almost until
Speaker 1 00:06:51 Your husband tried to bounce me off and ended up coming down with me and landed on top of me. He's a lot larger person than I am.
Speaker 0 00:06:57 He sure is <laugh>. There were also my friend Jacqueline, we were like pretending we were the kids because, you know, we were just being dumb and we're like, stop. You pushed me. You pushed me. And she sideswiped my feet out from underneath me.
Speaker 1 00:07:10 <laugh>
Speaker 0 00:07:10 Didn't hurt. It was hilarious though. I think we have that on camera. I also fell out of the bottom of the slide cuz I got up and my feet slipped, rolled out. It was a good time. Anyways.
Speaker 1 00:07:19 That was a lot of fun though. It was. I haven't been on a water slide, like a slip and slide water slide thing. This was like a big water slide. Like a wind
Speaker 0 00:07:26 Two feet tall. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:07:27 It was one that you have to rent and guess
Speaker 0 00:07:29 We'll figure out if we put that on one of our stories or
Speaker 1 00:07:31 Not. You probably should. I
Speaker 0 00:07:33 Know. Because we have the one of you, me and Jacqueline going down and it was cute. Cute. Didn't you see that that was on the story of Facebook today? I did. Or Instagram, the gram. Um, how was your week?
Speaker 1 00:07:40 It was good. Yeah. It's a lot of work. It's the end of the school year. All the things. I'm so ready. Yeah, I know. I know, I know. I'll have all my kids at home. I don't
Speaker 0 00:07:51 Worry
Speaker 1 00:07:52 About You do well with
Speaker 0 00:07:52 That. Anything else? Yeah. Yeah. You do well with that. Way better than I do. I am not as patient as of a mother as I think that you are.
Speaker 1 00:08:00 And my oldest is old enough to wear, if we need to do like a recording or whatever, she can watch the kids. Like it's funny. A
Speaker 0 00:08:06 Thousand percent. I just guess I haven't figured out anything for my kids to do.
Speaker 1 00:08:10 Wait, they're going to camp for like,
Speaker 0 00:08:13 Uh, my two oldest ones are going from camp from mid-July to mid-August. But there's the whole mid-June to mid-August to, I mean, mid-July to figure out what the hell we're gonna do. Which we're supposed to be going to Canada for 10 days, but we gotta get our passports figured out. So we're cutting that close.

Speaker 0 00:10:02 Well, you lose caring, but you're also like mentally not the same person that you were. That's true. So it's like the filter that you have as like, now it's just gone. So you just like speak the truth. Like,
Speaker 1 00:10:11 But I'm kind of okay with that now.

Speaker 1 00:10:26 But he's not, uh, there's just a, like a very tall guy. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:10:31 I, you know, she just, oh my God. Yeah. She would just say some shit and you're like, grandma, mommy, like, shut up time. We had get firefighters over to her house because something happened and she loved her booze. She loves champagne. Which I wonder I get from, I wonder
Speaker 1 00:10:45 Where you get it from. I just bought a bra, brought a brittle
Speaker 0 00:10:48 <laugh>. Have you, did you drink the bottle before you got here? <laugh>?
Speaker 1 00:10:52 I brought a bottle of champagne from one of our dear friends. We'll call her C Yes. Who was just, you know, unload, unloading needed, she needed to get rid of it for a reason and so Yeah. Brought it to you and I Oh, don't worry, don't worry. I got some of it.
Speaker 0 00:11:07 Good. Thank God for that <laugh>. Um, but she was drinking champagne as the firefighters were like going through her house and she's like, this champagne sparkles like a man
Speaker 1 00:11:17 <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:11:19 Yes, it
Speaker 1 00:11:19 Does. I wanna be that lady.
Speaker 0 00:11:21 Me too.
Speaker 1 00:11:21 Right. So she was a mean old lady after the Salem witch trials, which were like a hundred years before. Okay. Like, people were kind of wary of accusing other people of witchcraft. Right. Because they were kind of ashamed. Ashamed of that whole thing. Okay.
Speaker 0 00:11:35 So people were ashamed of like, accusing random people and everyone like getting murdered for
Speaker 1 00:11:38 Reason. They, they knew they did wrong. Okay. With the witch trials. With the witch trials. So especially in New England, they kind of stopped like accusing people. Okay. Even if they had a right to accuse them. Because in this case, who she, she a witch. She, she's something. Okay. She's something. So she was left alone for a very long time. Okay. Okay. So she kind of did her thing for a very long time. She was said to have a very difficult temperament and she was <laugh>, this one's funny. She said, they said that she had the temperament of a shrew.
Speaker 0 00:12:08 <laugh>. Oh.
Speaker 1 00:12:11 So paint this picture here. She
Speaker 0 00:12:12 Was a good time.
Speaker 1 00:12:13 She was a good time. I think. I think we would've had a good time. Oh yeah. To be quite honest.
Speaker 0 00:12:17 Sure, sure. She would've been real nice to us.
Speaker 1 00:12:19 She was, she felt a little entitled. Okay. Given her old age. Okay. So she was constantly asking her neighbors who for favors and never offered anything in return. And if they didn't offer her something bad, or like, if they didn't do what she asked quick enough, she'd like curse them out and say bad things were gonna happen. And
Speaker 0 00:12:37 She sounds like a
Speaker 1 00:12:39 Karen, like a mean old lady lady. Yeah. Like
Speaker 0 00:12:41 A, like a back in the day Karen kind of, yeah. But an old one.
Speaker 1 00:12:44 Maybe she had some other stuff going on.
Speaker 0 00:12:46 Well, okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:12:48 So, uh, at this point, the topic of her being a witch was kind of a rumor. Right. Okay. Because they were real weary of accusing people, but,
Speaker 0 00:12:57 But they were also suspicious.
Speaker 1 00:12:58 They were also very suspicious of her. She was old. Scary and lived on the outskirts of town. Okay. Which I want that. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:13:06 Same. That's like, that's our goal is I wanna get the fuck out of a neighborhood.
Speaker 1 00:13:10 I wanna be on the outskirts of town and I want people to leave me alone. Same. Um, she said she was said to live near a large rock and in the rock there was a cutout that looked like a clo footprint. Oh, cool. So people said that that was a sign of the devil. Okay. Like a, like yeah. Like a, like a goat's footprint. Yeah. Or whatever. Um, it was rumor, nothing really happened up until this point. Okay. Other than she was a mean old bitty and people wanted to stay away from her because she would crush them out.
Speaker 0 00:13:36 Okay.
Speaker 1 00:13:37 Um, one day her husband died. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, um, he walked around a lot. Like at night he would go for these long walks, especially, you know, in this specific area. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So he knew the terrain, he knew the area well. Well, one day he just kind of fell over a cliff. <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:13:54 Did he fall or was he pushed? I don't know. Okay. That's
Speaker 1 00:13:57 Jury's out. Okay. Jury's out. Okay. He didn't come back. He was found dead at the bottom of this like ravine. Right. Poor
Speaker 0 00:14:03 Guy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:14:04 Um, the townspeople were like, no, this isn't possible. He knew this terrain. He knew what he was doing. There's no way he fell over the cliff. Right?
Speaker 0 00:14:13 Hmm. Huh
Speaker 1 00:14:15 Hmm.
Speaker 0 00:14:15 Sounds a little suss to me. So
Speaker 1 00:14:17 Now they started talking about Hannah using her witchcraft to be witch her husband and like discombobulate him so that he kind of toppled over.
Speaker 0 00:14:25 Okay.
Speaker 1 00:14:25 Okay. So it's growing. Okay. Her suspicions are growing.
Speaker 0 00:14:28 Suspicions are growing <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:14:30 After the event. She was known as Hannah Cran. Before this, she was just Hannah. But
Speaker 0 00:14:35 Why? Hannah Cran. What?
Speaker 1 00:14:36 So not only did it rhyme, okay. That was like one of the reasons Hannah cran it is easy, it's easy to run, but cranny is Scottish for rocky place and because of the clothing footprint.
Speaker 0 00:14:46 Oh.
Speaker 1 00:14:46 Like they kind of used all that
Speaker 0 00:14:48 To bring it in. Okay. To bring it in. Does that make sense? Yep. That
Speaker 1 00:14:50 Make sense? Yep. Yep. After she was widowed her grouchiness kind of became more, if you
Speaker 0 00:14:56 Can believe. Well, I mean, I, I, well, I guess I think I'd be upset if my husband died, but then I think I'd also be pissed if I pissed off if I murdered my husband. And then people found out about it. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:15:06 <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:15:07 I mean, babe, I'm not gonna kill you. I swear. Anyways, continue. So
Speaker 1 00:15:11 She got grouchier and gra, she never remarried and she lived on the land with her chickens. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and was said to be guarded by snakes. Ooh.
Speaker 0 00:15:18 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Ooh. So
Speaker 1 00:15:20 How much of this is hearsay. How much of this is like legend that, you know, accumulated over time? Right? How much of it is true? Because it all stems from something, right?
Speaker 0 00:15:28 Yeah. No, it stems from something true. Just like cryptids and Yeah. Right.
Speaker 1 00:15:32 From something all the same. All the same thing. All right. So she demanded that her neighbors give her like free food and firewood. Cuz she was the old lady that lived in the woods. Yeah. And they're like, no, you're kind of a bitch. We're not gonna do that. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:15:43 Understandably. And
Speaker 1 00:15:44 So then she started actually cursing people.
Speaker 0 00:15:47 So what would happen if she cursed them? Like what does that mean? Like, she would just like say like, something bad's gonna happen to you or Bad shit started happening. Bad
Speaker 1 00:15:54 Shit started happening.
Speaker 0 00:15:56 So she was a witch
Speaker 1 00:15:57 Maybe. I don't know. I wasn't there were you?
Speaker 0 00:15:59 No, but I'm just suspecting because I know that witches can do fucked up shit. Not from personal experience.
Speaker 1 00:16:07 No.
Speaker 0 00:16:07 We don't ever do bad stuff. No. For but for real,
Speaker 1 00:16:10 Like, no,
Speaker 0 00:16:11 Never. No, we do, we do. We mess with our things. But love and light. It's love and light. I only do positive stuff. But, but,
Speaker 1 00:16:19 Or,
Speaker 0 00:16:19 But if
Speaker 1 00:16:20 You're a jackass, maybe we'll make it so things that you send out to people reflect back to you.
Speaker 0 00:16:25 We may have done a return to sender,
Speaker 1 00:16:27 Uh, recently
Speaker 0 00:16:29 And possibly you're going to do another one for other people we know. And the soon the return to sender that we did, uh, I feel like it was effective.
Speaker 1 00:16:37 So we have another return to sender that we gotta get going on. So
Speaker 0 00:16:41 Also the moral of the story is, is we might be some angry after. Don't be dick mid, so don't fuck with us
Speaker 1 00:16:47 <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:16:48 Just kidding. We're really nice. And we don't do mean witchcraft. We don't mess the dark stuff. No,
Speaker 1 00:16:52 No. But if you hurt one of us,
Speaker 0 00:16:53 No, but I, the narcissist who messed with me, I made sure that all the energy he was sending to me went back to him. And um, I hear life hasn't gone well for him.
Speaker 1 00:17:02 It wasn't you.
Speaker 0 00:17:04 I didn't do it. It's karma is a bitch.
Speaker 1 00:17:07 Karma. Karma. Karma. <laugh> karma. <laugh>,
Speaker 0 00:17:12 Please
Speaker 1 00:17:13 Cut that. Oh my god.
Speaker 0 00:17:14 Again, who does the editing? Like you gotta remember this. Cause I know it's up to my discretion again. Depends on how sassy I feel. Oh man. She feeling sassy. Ooh.
Speaker 1 00:17:24 I think so. She's
Speaker 0 00:17:25 Sassy
Speaker 1 00:17:26 Today. Yeah. So, you know, you don't have do bad things, but you can do return to sender.
Speaker 0 00:17:30 Yeah. Return to sender. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 00:17:32 <affirmative>. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Um, so there was a local woman who was well known for her baking. Okay. Okay. Like specifically she would break bake fresh baked pies and give them to the people. Okay. Right. I mean, she would sell them to the people. It was a way of her making her money. Right. They were said to be the most delicious in the entire region. Okay. Okay. Good pies. Good pies. Good pies. Good pies. Hannah Crea demanded she be given a pie for free. She thought she was entitled to this pie. Okay. Okay. The woman said, no, absolutely not. You can buy one, but you can't just have one. Which
Speaker 0 00:18:07 Is understandable.
Speaker 1 00:18:08 My money. Yes. Yes. Hannah got angry. Oh dear. Yes. Um, she cursed the woman to never be able to bake again. Yep. Woman was never able to bake a good tasting pie again. Nobody liked him.
Speaker 0 00:18:19 A word almost just came outta my mouth. That is one that comes out of a lot of Australian mouths. Said, I can't say no. You know what word it is? Is
Speaker 1 00:18:26 It the See you next Tuesday?
Speaker 0 00:18:27 It sure is the see you next Tuesday. Word. But it sounds like maybe she was one of them.
Speaker 1 00:18:31 I've had to get used to this word as an American. That is not a word that we
Speaker 0 00:18:36 Use. No. And when I lived in Australia, I had to get used to it because it just, people obviously, like, if you're in an argument with someone and you say to someone, it still is. That's the words not okay.
Speaker 1 00:18:47 No, no. But it is, it's a bad word. It's definitely
Speaker 0 00:18:49 Used a little morely.
Speaker 1 00:18:52 A little
Speaker 0 00:18:52 More flippantly over there. A lot more <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:18:55 You guys had some friends over and it was like, huh. Huh. <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:19:01 Oh God. I know. And then my mom hates it every time she hears someone say it. It like,
Speaker 1 00:19:06 It's such a cringey word, but I've heard it so much in the, but then when
Speaker 0 00:19:09 You hear it, but then also like Texas, those the, he has this Australian TikTok account. Well, there I am with a TikTok. Do he just start like counting? Every time I say TikTok in a podcast

Speaker 0 00:19:18 It wasn't from me. He sent it to me. And it's the one, it goes, you're a,
Speaker 1 00:19:24 I know this.
Speaker 0 00:19:25 And it says,
Speaker 1 00:19:26 See you next Tuesday.
Speaker 0 00:19:27 Anyways. Can
Speaker 1 00:19:28 I, I had to explain that word to my dad. I had to explain. See you next Tuesday for to my dad.
Speaker 0 00:19:33 Like the actual word.
Speaker 1 00:19:34 Yeah. Well, no, no, no. Not the word. But I, I said No. What? See you next Tuesday. I said, they're a real See you next Tuesday. And he's like, what the hell are you talking about? And I had said, well, let's go. Let's go

Speaker 0 00:19:51 Tuesday starts with a tea. Everybody, in case anyone else is confused. We just had to break that down. Um, I'm just gonna do a timeout really fast. Yeah. Which is can, the cider is delicious, but it smells like Jim socks <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:20:03 Like you were
Speaker 0 00:20:04 Telling this story and I was like, like it smells like,
Speaker 1 00:20:06 Oh, it does,
Speaker 0 00:20:07 It doesn't work. I don't know why Jim Socks came to my mind because like, I don't think that I know what Jim socks smell like. You, you know what it is? Old laundry.
Speaker 1 00:20:14 No, I was at my daughter's volleyball game today. Oh. And um, a bunch of, a bunch of the middle school boys came in from football. Oh. And there was a scent, there was an aroma. Kind of like that.
Speaker 0 00:20:26 Now
Speaker 1 00:20:26 I got a footage of drinking this.
Speaker 0 00:20:29 It's like the what? It, but it's messed up because a flavor is good. The
Speaker 1 00:20:32 Flavors good, but
Speaker 0 00:20:33 If you smell it before you do it,
Speaker 1 00:20:34 Plug your down. It's meant to be
Speaker 0 00:20:35 Drunk out of a can y'all. It's really good. We're not ragging on Don't, don't not buy it, but just don't put it in a glass
Speaker 1 00:20:43 <laugh>. No, I'm gonna smell it. I didn't smell it first.
Speaker 0 00:20:45 I know I did when you were telling the story and this was like, no, it 10 minutes ago and I wanted to tell you, but I was like, waiting for the right moment. And I'm like, okay, now we've broken up. I got it.
Speaker 1 00:20:55 Do we need a non-ap?
Speaker 0 00:20:56 It smells like it. No. It literally smells like when your laundry is sat in the di and the laundry machine for too long.
Speaker 1 00:21:03 You know? Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:21:04 You know where, when your
Speaker 1 00:21:05 Middle school
Speaker 0 00:21:06 Football or that apparently middle school, one of the two, it just doesn't smell good.
Speaker 1 00:21:10 Mildewey
Speaker 0 00:21:11 Yeah. Mildew. But that's Yeah. Sitting in the laundry machine too long. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Unless you're one of those people who is really good about taking laundry out.
Speaker 1 00:21:17 Well,
Speaker 0 00:21:18 Oh, shut the fuck up. You we're not your friends. No,
Speaker 1 00:21:21 No, no, no. I, I was saying well to no. Oh, I thought you
Speaker 0 00:21:23 Were saying well, welty. Yes. And I was about to slap you.
Speaker 1 00:21:26 No, when I, when I keep to my schedule. Yeah. And I do the laundry when I'm supposed to. Yeah. Does that happen every time? No. No, no. Does it stay in there for 24 hours? Sometimes. You betcha.
Speaker 0 00:21:37 Oh, mine. I had one last week because I was so busy. It was in there for like 48 hours and I just, it yeah. I was bad.
Speaker 1 00:21:43 You just, you just turn it back on at that point. You don't even try.
Speaker 0 00:21:46 Yeah. Put vinegar in vinegar helps eliminate the Oh, really? Mild do smell. Yeah. You just dump vinegar lives in my laundry room and gets everything out.
Speaker 1 00:21:53 Do we need a new one?
Speaker 0 00:21:54 Yeah. Are you texting my husband? Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Thank god. <laugh>. Alright. Back to the story. Talking Christ, someone stop us. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:22:02 So she never bakes again. Okay. Awful. Ruined her life.
Speaker 0 00:22:04 Okay.
Speaker 1 00:22:05 Hannah also had a pond on her property and she was really strict about it.
Speaker 0 00:22:10 <laugh>, we, because we drink cider during this, it's
Speaker 1 00:22:12 Bubbly.
Speaker 0 00:22:13 There's a lot of burks that happened. Not gonna lie, it's, it's bubbly. But through most of my editing I will mark down, like when we have a burp break, and I swear to God one of these times I'm gonna do a blooper reel of burp breaks. There's that. I just feel like that might just be too gross to do. But at the same time, I don't
Speaker 1 00:22:28 Know. No, the cringey or the better. Right?
Speaker 0 00:22:30 Yeah. Cringey or the better <laugh>. God, I always continue on. Where
Speaker 1 00:22:34 Was I?
Speaker 0 00:22:34 I'm just chugging this at this point.
Speaker 1 00:22:36 <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:22:37 Let's go Hannah. Cran
Speaker 1 00:22:39 Focus.
Speaker 0 00:22:40 Okay. So lady can't bake.
Speaker 1 00:22:42 Lady can't bake. Done no baking livelihood. Ruined,
Speaker 0 00:22:45 Fuck.
Speaker 1 00:22:47 You know, Hannah had a property guarded by snakes. Right. So she didn't want people on her property. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Which I feel like if I had a piece of property that I didn't want people to be on snakes, it'd be a good choice.
Speaker 0 00:22:56 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:22:56 Right? Yeah. Bears
Speaker 0 00:22:59 <laugh> bears will be a solid choice.
Speaker 1 00:23:01 Bears gonna bear
Speaker 0 00:23:02 Man, bears are gonna bear <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:23:05 If you know what I'm referencing. Good on ya. <laugh>
Speaker 0 00:23:09 Bears are gonna bear,
Speaker 1 00:23:11 Bears gonna bear. Um, so there was a paw, there was a pawn in Hannah's property and she was real strict about people staying away like snakes, bears. I think I added the bears, but it's fine. Yeah. She didn't want anybody on her property. Especially in the pond.
Speaker 0 00:23:25 Especially not bears.
Speaker 1 00:23:26 Especially not bears or Yes. Bears. You stay away. Oh
Speaker 0 00:23:29 Yes. Bears. Bears gardens. Yeah. Right. 10 outta 10 <laugh>. Don't go into the Bear's House.
Speaker 1 00:23:36 <laugh>. I mean, seriously. You're going into the bear's living room. What do you expect them to do?
Speaker 0 00:23:40 It's like, do you, do you remember when we, when I sent you that one about the lady who says you don't go into the Shark's house? Yes. Yeah. And she's exactly, she's like you going into the Shark's House, guess what happens? You get ate up. You don't go into the Shark's house. If a chicken comes in my house, guess what? Get ate up. It gets ate up. And I was like, wow. A lot of it like that.
Speaker 1 00:23:58 Well, here's the thing, I don't know if you knew this. My biggest fear in my life is being
Speaker 0 00:24:04 Eaten
Speaker 1 00:24:04 By a shark. Is being eaten by a shark is being eaten by like, it is so irrational that I remember one time we were at my uncle's beach house in Massachusetts and my dad threw me into the water and I like,
Speaker 0 00:24:16 So
Speaker 1 00:24:16 I seized up. He had to come get me out because I couldn't do it.
Speaker 0 00:24:20 Do you remember how I told you on like the first episode that my two bugaboos, or maybe it was the second one, were werewolves and zombies? Mm-hmm. <affirmative> third is a shark. Because we used to watch Jaws as a kid and we had a pool in our backyard. Yep. And you would jump in the pool and I was absolutely convinced that there was a shark because there was a shark. Well fast forward to living in Australia with my husband, where great whites are everywhere where
Speaker 1 00:24:42 Their actual
Speaker 0 00:24:42 Sharks. And every time they went to the goddamn beach, they have these helicopters that fly over and look for the sharks. Nope. And they would start circling where we were at. Meaning there was a great white, like, cuz there was a lot where we, cuz it was like tuna and abalone area, like whatever. And I would, I was like, I'm only going me up. But even then I saw someone get attacked by a shark at they were knee up. So now I, I agreed sharks that terrifies me. I
Speaker 1 00:25:04 Where were you? Terrifies me. Where? Where my uncle's house, beach house was in Massachusetts. I remember sitting with my uncle and he was showing me an old photo album. He was quite a bit older. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like he was probably 75 mm-hmm. <affirmative> when I was like 20. And he showed me a picture of him with a great white shark that they had caught. And I said, uncle Pete, where did you catch this great white shark? We were in the beach house at the time. And he pointed out the window <laugh>,
Speaker 0 00:25:31 Because they're in Jaws country up there. Is that
Speaker 1 00:25:33 Where is Yeah. Cape Cod.
Speaker 0 00:25:35 Yeah. Yeah. We should have
Speaker 1 00:25:36 A movie night.
Speaker 0 00:25:37 Oh my God. I love Jaws. We should do a Jaws night.
Speaker 1 00:25:39 I haven't watched it since I was a little kid. Me too.
Speaker 0 00:25:41 Actually. Maybe as a maybe young adult do it. We're gonna do it. I'm down for a jaws night because Yes. Because irrational fears to me are scarier than like, real life things could actually get me. Like serial killer movies don't scare me. No, but a shot mb
Speaker 1 00:25:54 Can actually eat you.
Speaker 0 00:25:55 Yeah. But zombies. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:25:57 Cereal killers can actually grill <laugh>. Yeah. I see where you're going with this. Yeah. I mixed there. There you're <laugh> there.
Speaker 0 00:26:03 She's zombies. I will sleep for weeks. I'm convinced that I'm gonna get, it's
Speaker 1 00:26:10 A real good zombie mo show on Amazon. Never
Speaker 0 00:26:12 Will watch
Speaker 1 00:26:13 Called from, I just binge the first season and I'm actually paying for MGM now to watch the second season.
Speaker 0 00:26:19 I cannot, I
Speaker 1 00:26:20 Think they're zombies. Not sure juries out.
Speaker 0 00:26:23 Well, anything that has to somewhat do with zombies I cannot do at, at all. At like, I remember one of the first movies Tex and I watched together was I Am Legend.
Speaker 1 00:26:33 Oh, I loved that movie. Those were vampires, not zombies. I mean, they
Speaker 0 00:26:37 Were zombie vampire things
Speaker 1 00:26:39 In the one with Will Smith. They were more of like a vampire in the one with like Charlton Heston and Peer, um, uh, Vincent Price. They were more zombies. Okay.
Speaker 0 00:26:50 Well I don't know that one. I just know the Will Smith one. And I will tell you 10 outta 10, I disagree that they were vampires, they were definitely motherfucking zombies. And I did not goddamn sleep for Forever <laugh>. And it was,
Speaker 1 00:26:59 You know, that's the third rendition of that story. No, it didn't. Yes. Okay. Also more movie nights. More movie nights
Speaker 0 00:27:05 We're No, we're not watching those. They're I do, I will not do zombies.
Speaker 1 00:27:09 Tex and I will watch 'em. You can just hide.
Speaker 0 00:27:12 All right. Squirrel. Where are we in at the story? Let's go back. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:27:15 Uh, pond. Pond. She didn't like people at her pond, right? Yes. It was hers. And she didn't want, she didn't wanna share. Okay. I mean, I feel that way about something sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess understandable. Um, when did she caught a man fishing in her pond without her permission. Okay. And he was a fisherman by trade. Okay. That's how he made his money. Yep. She became irate and she cursed him. And you know what happens when Hannah Cran curses someone? They die. No. Oh. Not <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:27:48 I was lucky. Guess. Well, they lose what they do for a
Speaker 1 00:27:51 Living. Right? So
Speaker 0 00:27:52 He could never fish again.
Speaker 1 00:27:53 He never fished again in his life. No. Lost his livelihood.
Speaker 0 00:27:56 That's sad because people love to fish.
Speaker 1 00:27:58 People love to fish. I love, love to fish. Never fished
Speaker 0 00:28:01 Really.
Speaker 1 00:28:02 No. I mean, when I was a little kid, I remember having my little like Walmart fishing pole. Yeah. I think I had an aerial on it.
Speaker 0 00:28:09 I Ours is just because we, when we go up to Canada. Canada, yeah. Shocker. Yeah. I have a few common things. TikTok Canada. What else?
Speaker 1 00:28:17 Not bringing me
Speaker 0 00:28:18 Zombies. <laugh> werewolves. Alcohol, swearing, <laugh>. I'm basically just like a broken record. You guys just, I'm pretty consistent. You can at least rely on that. Um, you
Speaker 1 00:28:33 Know what Rena said to me this week?
Speaker 0 00:28:37 What did I say
Speaker 1 00:28:37 To you? I've been having a little like, uh, like, uh, anxiety about the things that have been posted. Right?
Speaker 0 00:28:44 Oh, yeah. Because I've been posting some like dumb stuff of us <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:28:48 Hang on. And she's, oh wait, wait a minute. All right. Pause for a insider. This is called Two Town Cider House. This is also local and it's tropical Cosmic Crisp. It is an 8% A B V. Hello. And I, I believe Jenna brought this last week into your daughter's birthday party. <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:29:09 She's a good friend. That's delightful. That's sweet. But it's good. Ooh, is it sweet? It has passion fruit in it.
Speaker 1 00:29:15 Ooh. You like the passion? Fruit
Speaker 0 00:29:17 Purple. Passion fruit. My favorite. Ooh, there's a lot of passion fruit. Ooh, I love that. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:29:21 That's really good. But you're right. It is, it's definitely than our norms.
Speaker 0 00:29:25 Yeah. But it's still really good. Where I like the passion fruit though.
Speaker 1 00:29:28 I'm trying to see where two towns cider is from.
Speaker 0 00:29:31 I like to put passion fruit. I order passion fruit puree off of Amazon. And you put it in champagne for a passion fruit. Fruit mimosa. And not as Oh,
Speaker 1 00:29:39 I had one over the weekend. That was good. Yeah. Corvallis, Oregon. So what is p
Speaker 0 00:29:43 W? Yep, it is P and w. Alright.
Speaker 1 00:29:44 P and w. Alright. So he never fished again. Okay. Back to the story. Back
Speaker 0 00:29:49 To the story. Let's, let's get on with it. <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:29:52 Get on with it. Okay. That's from, um, uh, flying Circus. Don Know. Um, oh God damn it. What's that show? Flying
Speaker 0 00:30:04 Circus.
Speaker 1 00:30:05 Ah, oh my God.
Speaker 0 00:30:11 You're just clapping.
Speaker 1 00:30:14 She witch. She, she turned me the Holy Grail. Python. Python.
Speaker 0 00:30:23 I've that movie once.
Speaker 1 00:30:24 Nope. No. Okay. Um, it's
Speaker 0 00:30:26 Not a movie though, right? It's a show. I don't know. I don't, I don't, I've never seen it.
Speaker 1 00:30:29 I forgot what even started this way. <laugh>. Anyway, it was a Monty Python reference. Oh
Speaker 0 00:30:39 My God.
Speaker 1 00:30:40 <laugh> moving on. Never caught another How
Speaker 0 00:30:46 You feel allowed to keep doing this
Speaker 1 00:30:47 <laugh>? Nope. But we're gonna, okay. All right. All right. Next up. There were two men driving an oxen cart Okay. On the road by her house. Right.
Speaker 0 00:30:58 And they couldn't, they weren't allowed to drive it anymore.
Speaker 1 00:31:00 Well, they came by and they stopped right outside of her house. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Right. And they had a cart full of hay. Okay. They stopped in front of her house specifically to mock her, to call her out, call her names, call her a witch, all these things. Because while the law wasn't going to try her as a witch at this point in time,
Speaker 0 00:31:17 Everyone was pretty convinced she was,
Speaker 1 00:31:19 Everyone was convinced she was a witch. Okay. And you know, like the law might not say something, but neighbors are gonna talk. Right. So Hannah, because they were mocking her, Hannah came out and she was said to be witched the ox and the cart. So the ox refused to mute, move, and the cart just kind of fell apart. Exploded right there. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> right there. That's
Speaker 0 00:31:38 Some serious witch power. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 00:31:40 <affirmative>. Okay. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So all, all these instances all try again.
Speaker 0 00:31:46 Redo back
Speaker 1 00:31:51 All these instances. Hannah was finally formally accused for witchcraft. Okay. Okay. Like they, after all these things, they, they accused her. She
Speaker 0 00:32:01 Was, they finally said, bitch, your time is up. You, you a witch. You, you were fucked up. You were a witch. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:32:06 Um,
Speaker 0 00:32:06 There is no denying it anymore.
Speaker 1 00:32:08 No. She was arraigned on charges of consorting with the devil. Okay. Uh, but she was never tried because of the shames surrounding Salem. Mm. Okay. Which is interesting. Like all that shit that went down in Salem kind of set the tone for
Speaker 0 00:32:22 For what?
Speaker 1 00:32:22 Further on? Yeah. Was she a witch or was she just mean,
Speaker 0 00:32:28 Sounds like she was a witch.
Speaker 1 00:32:30 <laugh> could be. Could be. But I feel like she sounds like she was more of a witch than the, the people accused of witchcraft. Well, in the Salem trials, because I'm not con, I don't think that any of the people in the Salem trials were actually witches.
Speaker 0 00:32:42 Witches. So I do think that there are people who actually are witches and can like more than just like, practicing paganism witchcraft, whatever. There are people who can harness that kind of power and do things with it. And I actually strongly believe that, um,
Speaker 1 00:32:57 I'm jury's still out for me on. Is it that that amount of power manifestation? Yes. There
Speaker 0 00:33:04 Is all the things. Yes. Supposedly. Supposedly. I was reading an article the other day
Speaker 1 00:33:09 On TikTok <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:33:11 No, I was reading an article,
Speaker 1 00:33:13 <laugh> on TikTok.
Speaker 0 00:33:15 I read all the time. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:33:19 Oh God. It's after eight o'clock <laugh>. And supposedly,
Speaker 0 00:33:22 Supposedly that back in like, records of like Egyptians. Okay. Okay. That women actually used to have power that would come out of their hands and they were able to like move things really? And that is not the first time I've heard this before and I've heard this in a number of things. So,
Speaker 1 00:33:39 So were women put on the back burner throughout history because they were more
Speaker 0 00:33:44 Powerful. That's I think what it was. I, that's in my professional opinion.
Speaker 1 00:33:47 I think that's something that we need to go into a little bit more.
Speaker 0 00:33:49 I agree. And I feel like if we look this up and start to like research it, it could be a really fun thing to kind of like dive really deep into witchcraft and figure out like,
Speaker 1 00:33:57 Because I know there's instances figure out Christianity where women have held power and it's kind of been squashed a little bit. Exactly.
Speaker 0 00:34:04 Mm-hmm. <affirmative> because, you know,
Speaker 1 00:34:07 Interesting. We
Speaker 0 00:34:07 Love men.
Speaker 1 00:34:09 We love our men. I love
Speaker 0 00:34:11 Men.
Speaker 1 00:34:13 Okay. So, you know, she wasn't actually, she was arraigned, but she wasn't, the trial never, never came to fruition. Okay. Okay. So Hannah had a rooster named old Bos. I would like a pet named old Bos.
Speaker 0 00:34:27 That's
Speaker 1 00:34:27 Lovely. My robo vacuum is named Baltazar.
Speaker 0 00:34:31 Mine is named Karen. Karen <laugh>. Mine is named Carol Baskin.
Speaker 1 00:34:36 Carol Baskin.
Speaker 0 00:34:37 Carol Baskin killed her husband. Whacked him,
Speaker 1 00:34:42 Sorry. Carol
Speaker 0 00:34:42 Baskin. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:34:43 So Hannah had a rooster named old Bos. Yes. And some, you know, obviously she's a witch. She has a rooster. It's her familiar. Okay. It's her witch is familiar. He was with her all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:34:56 Best friend.
Speaker 1 00:34:57 Yes. Old boas died.
Speaker 0 00:34:59 Oh yes. R i p rooster.
Speaker 1 00:35:01 So the day that old Boes died, Hannah said to a neighbor, I have a wish to make that must be carried out. I am not to be buried until after sundown. And there must be ample bears to carry my coffin from the house to the grave. Obey my wishes if you wish to avoid trouble. And vexation.
Speaker 0 00:35:26 So she was saying she's gonna kill herself.
Speaker 1 00:35:28 She was saying like, my time's coming old Bos is dead.
Speaker 0 00:35:32 So I'm dead too.
Speaker 1 00:35:33 My time's coming. Make sure you she does she she wanted to be carried.
Speaker 0 00:35:38 Carried
Speaker 1 00:35:39 To the graveyard. Okay. And buried after sundown. Okay. And if they didn't, you are gonna be Vaxxed.
Speaker 0 00:35:48 Okay. That's
Speaker 1 00:35:49 What she said. Hannah died the next day. She died the day after Old Boreus dad.
Speaker 0 00:35:56 But, but suicide or no? No, she
Speaker 1 00:35:58 Just died. Died. She died. She just died. Her her supposed witches familiar died. So then she died.
Speaker 0 00:36:04 Can you explain to people who do not know what a witch is familiar is?
Speaker 1 00:36:07 So witch is familiar is it was said that if you were a witch, that, you know, I mean there's people who thought that witch is all consorted with the devil, which I don't believe that at all. Cuz you have to believe in the devil. That's another story for another day. But a witch is familiar is like a companion, like a cat. Like, you know, you have the cat, the black cat with the witch that is depiction of the witches. Familiar. Some people have a crow, some people have, you know, a I don't know, a squirrel.
Speaker 0 00:36:35 What happens if you have two black cats? Two normal cats. A dog. Two spiders and two fish. Then what do you have
Speaker 1 00:36:44 <laugh>. That's too much for me. <laugh>. Which,
Speaker 0 00:36:46 Which one is my, which is familiar? <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:36:51 Oh man. Oh man. The shorthaired black cat pig.
Speaker 0 00:36:56 Pig pig. Pizza to the eye to the g
Speaker 1 00:36:59 I have a new kitten. His name is Iba iBod Crane.
Speaker 0 00:37:03 She just said it
Speaker 1 00:37:05 Iba. It's from the movie. Oh good. We're gonna have to watch that this year. Sure. We will.
Speaker 0 00:37:12 Um, she has posted a picture. Her daughter's my rat. Oh God. Him in a blanket and put him in a wheelchair. Like a little, like a little Barbie wheelchair. It was so his, the expression on his face was like, what the fuck is happening to my life? <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:37:26 Clarify. I have a three year old, but it wasn't my three-year old that put him in the wheelchair. No, it was
Speaker 0 00:37:29 Older one. It was,
Speaker 1 00:37:30 It was my eight year old that wrapped 'em up and put 'em in the wheelchair. But this, this cat is a sport, let me tell you. Yeah. Well we need, let me tell you, when you
Speaker 0 00:37:38 Torment them young, they just get used to it. They love it.
Speaker 1 00:37:42 My three I, my, I was FaceTiming my dad the other day and my youngest was showing my dad the cat. And my dad said, does that cat ever touch the ground? And I said, Nope.
Speaker 0 00:37:53 <laugh>, but don't mean he's super friendly. He's super friendly. I told Meg that she was selected in the, uh, cat distribution system.
Speaker 1 00:38:00 Apparently you're the second person to tell me that. Yeah. Because I never wanted a cat and bing bang, boom. We were given like a six week old kitten. Yep. Like I, at first I said, okay. It was found
Speaker 0 00:38:12 In the
Speaker 1 00:38:12 Woods. It was found in the woods. Friend said, I can't keep it. And I'm like, okay, I will foster this thing. And
Speaker 0 00:38:20 And her husband was like, no. And I was like, it's a yes. I said no. Every husband says, no, you just tell him it's a yes. And then
Speaker 1 00:38:26 I fostered it and I said, Rena's gonna help me. And that made me good at home. And then I
Speaker 0 00:38:31 I did help you. We brought over some kitten food. Yes, you did. Totally. And gave you some kitty
Speaker 1 00:38:35 Litter. And then I have four daughters. So, you know, that didn't, that didn't last long. It's our kitten.
Speaker 0 00:38:40 And I, I texted you, I think it was the day after you got him and you were like, I don't think we're gonna be allowed to keep it. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:38:46 Oh, oh.
Speaker 0 00:38:48 Hang on Mr. Boo boo's here. It's Mr. Boo Boo.
Speaker 1 00:38:52 Hey Mr. Boo.
Speaker 0 00:38:53 I know. I had to move the incense out. We had incense lit because our electronics weren't working. We had to cleanse everything. Now it is. But ugh, we are on one.
Speaker 3 00:39:00 So what are we, what are we discussing tonight? Hannah. Hannah Cran
Speaker 1 00:39:03 So
Speaker 3 00:39:04 Handy from Krank. No, <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:39:07 Hannah Cran. She's a witch who was a witch. Witch.
Speaker 1 00:39:10 The witch critic. And she was
Speaker 0 00:39:11 A
Speaker 1 00:39:11 Connecticut.
Speaker 0 00:39:12 She was a true bitch. And, um, she cursed people.
Speaker 1 00:39:15 Cursed
Speaker 0 00:39:15 People. Her husband fell off a cliff and died. But
Speaker 1 00:39:17 He used to walk all that all the time. So he shouldn't have fallen off the cliff and died.
Speaker 0 00:39:21 And so he died randomly. And then she used to curse her neighbors. And so it sounds like she was a bitch. And then she died. We just got to the point of the story where she just died after her rooster Pet Rooster died. So we were actually discussing our pets because Barster.
Speaker 3 00:39:33 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:39:34 So her pet knew Rooster was she's a
Speaker 3 00:39:35 Witch

Speaker 3 00:39:41 Old Boris. Old
Speaker 1 00:39:42 Bos.
Speaker 3 00:39:43 Good old Bos. Aye.
Speaker 1 00:39:45 And when he died, she's, she's like, my time is not long. Make sure that people carry me to the grave and I'm buried after sunset. If you don't, you'll be vexed.
Speaker 3 00:39:54 Did old Boris have to carry him on her back? No.
Speaker 0 00:39:56 He was dead. He
Speaker 1 00:39:57 Did
Speaker 3 00:39:57 The rooster. The roosters dead. Isn't he a ghost? Well,
Speaker 0 00:40:00 She died the next day. So
Speaker 1 00:40:01 She died the next day after Bos.
Speaker 3 00:40:03 She didn't Nero manza just bring him back.
Speaker 1 00:40:05 I mean, coulda
Speaker 0 00:40:06 Could have,
Speaker 1 00:40:07 Could shoulda have,
Speaker 0 00:40:08 Would've like practical magic.
Speaker 1 00:40:09 Oh, but that didn't go
Speaker 0 00:40:10 Well. No, it didn't. You don't do that.

Speaker 0 00:40:26 That was like when we did, when we did our, um, promo pictures for the podcast and you were like, text said, we looked like the two witches, but only it was the opposite. You looked like Sandra Bullock. Like you're attire, like what you were wearing. And I looked like, Nicole,
Speaker 3 00:40:38 Are you gonna bleep it out? I say something? Nope.
Speaker 1 00:40:41 You

Speaker 1 00:40:46 Word. Yeah. We went over that. We, we, we, we were nice and said, see you next to
Speaker 0 00:40:51 You. Because we said it sounded like the old witch.
Speaker 3 00:40:53 Was it? Yeah. She was an old countryman. Yeah,
Speaker 0 00:40:56 An old countryman. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:40:58 Sorry.
Speaker 0 00:40:59 All all right.
Speaker 3 00:41:00 I had to go Mr. Booboo. Mr. Booboo. You's gotta go give some kisses. To who? To who?
Speaker 0 00:41:07 The kids.
Speaker 3 00:41:08 The kids.
Speaker 0 00:41:09 He's tucking the girls in goodnight. He's being a good dad.
Speaker 3 00:41:13 <laugh>. The children.
Speaker 0 00:41:15 The children.
Speaker 1 00:41:16 All right. She got the next day. Okay. On the day of her service, a storm came through and it was winter. Okay. The snow got so deep to the point where they, they, they couldn't carry her in the snow. Oh. Oh. Like it was like knee deep snow. They're like, Nope. So the funeral party ignored her instructions and warning, put her coffin on a sled. <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:41:38 She went for a sleigh ride. She
Speaker 1 00:41:40 Went for a sleigh ride. Now, do we know where this is gonna go?
Speaker 0 00:41:42 It's not good. I'm gonna assume it's 10 outta 10. Not,
Speaker 1 00:41:46 Not great. Tom, um, <laugh>, when they left to travel to the graveyard, the coffin was said to slip off of the sled and go right back to the door of her house. Just like
Speaker 0 00:41:59 She was like,
Speaker 1 00:42:00 She's like, no, no, you're not listening to you guys. You're not listening. I said, to be carried. So they did again, they put her on a sled and they started going in back to the front door. Okay. This happened two times. Oh dear. Yep. She went right back to the front door instead of trying again and risking, you know, Hannah's wrath from beyond the grave. Yes. They decided, okay, we're just gonna carry your, you know, the pie thing, the fishing thing. Let's just the ox oxygen. Let's just do what she said. Let's just do it. Let's just do it. What she said Was it
Speaker 0 00:42:30 At night though?
Speaker 1 00:42:31 Not yet.
Speaker 0 00:42:32 Hmm.
Speaker 1 00:42:33 Not yet. It was still daytime. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. It was still daytime. So, but because they carried her to the graveyard, it was after night. It was after sunset when they buried her. Well thank God. So thank God for that. So her wishes were carried out. Okay. Okay. So the townspeople were like relieved. Like we did it. We got rid of Hannah Crema. Yeah. Like we did everything. She said, she's gone.
Speaker 0 00:42:58 Why do I feel like she's not
Speaker 1 00:42:59 Going no more?
Speaker 0 00:43:00 I feel like it's not gonna happen. I feel like I can see it coming.
Speaker 1 00:43:03 So they're like who after the service, they were kind enough to give her a service that we're done. Which by the way, if we ever go to New England, the witch is dead. This sold witch. Witch. The witch kid witch. If we ever go to New England, I have, because I'm from New England, right? Yes. I have like all these things I wanna go to. You need
Speaker 0 00:43:21 To, sorry. Hannah Cre house.
Speaker 1 00:43:22 There's her grave.
Speaker 0 00:43:23 Is she haunt? Is it haunted? Oh
Speaker 1 00:43:25 Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:43:26 Okay.
Speaker 1 00:43:27 So her wishes were carried out. The townspeople were so relieved to be rid of Hannah and they were like, whew, we're done. Let's go, let's go have a, a nice evening, right? Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, they started walking back to Hannah's house. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> because that's where they were gonna kind of convene and like, you know, have a little celebrate
Speaker 0 00:43:43 The memory of the old
Speaker 1 00:43:44 Bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But by the time they got there, it was completely engulfed in flames. Oh, how
Speaker 0 00:43:49 Did I know you were about to say
Speaker 1 00:43:50 That? <laugh>
Speaker 0 00:43:51 The bitch lit
Speaker 1 00:43:52 It up. She lit it up, man. So this was like, you know, forever burning the memory of Hannah Cran. She was like in everyone's of going
Speaker 0 00:44:01 Down in flames.
Speaker 1 00:44:02 Yeah. Yes we are. Damn. Yep. So her house completely burned to the ground today. Her grave sits the top of hill, a hill overlooking the road like the county road that goes down below. And her headstone is said to be startling white. So this was in the 17 hundreds when she died? Yeah. So this is 300 years, right? Uh, 200 years <laugh>. 17, 18, 19, 250 years.
Speaker 0 00:44:28 Don't you dare look at me as if I am supposed to calculate some sort of math figure out.
Speaker 1 00:44:34 Oh, over 200. Over 200. Less than 300 years later. Perfect. Right? Yeah. Her tombstone is said to be startling white. Like no corrosion, nothing. Well
Speaker 0 00:44:46 Now I wanna see it. I
Speaker 1 00:44:47 Wanna see it too. There's actually pictures on the internet.
Speaker 0 00:44:50 Well maybe we'll find something on the interwebs for when we drop those.
Speaker 1 00:44:53 Yeah. Yeah. And I think it would be interesting to go see. Yeah. Now could people be coming at night and cleaning it? Absolutely.
Speaker 0 00:44:58 They
Speaker 1 00:44:58 Totally could. But there's been no known record of that. So there's still issues with Hannah. Oh
Speaker 0 00:45:02 God damn it Hannah. This
Speaker 1 00:45:03 Say we're 2023. Right. Fucking
Speaker 0 00:45:05 Hannah. Um,
Speaker 1 00:45:07 So she's often seen walking in the graveyard, like in this graveyard. She's seen wandering around in her garb that she would have been in mm-hmm. <affirmative> way back when in the 17 hundreds. And she, she doesn't do much like her as a, as a spirit. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. But if you go to the graveyard at night, you will see her walking around. Okay. Or a lot of people have seen her. You'll just
Speaker 0 00:45:27 Witness her.
Speaker 1 00:45:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. She is not doing anything mean at that point. But she makes her presence known. Um, once in a while she likes to car cause a car accident or two. Oh
Speaker 0 00:45:39 That bitch.
Speaker 1 00:45:40 Right. There's a story of a man who was driving past her grave, cuz the roads down below and her grave is up top. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And he looked up the road and saw her staring down at him and crashed his car. There's also been car crashes down below from her tombstone that have caused fatalities.
Speaker 0 00:46:00 E
Speaker 1 00:46:01 So it said that she caused cause to fatalities.
Speaker 0 00:46:04 Interesting.
Speaker 1 00:46:05 Interesting. Right.
Speaker 0 00:46:06 That's one of those things that you wonder like, is she stuck?
Speaker 1 00:46:10 She could be stuck. We have,
Speaker 0 00:46:12 And this is causing havoc.
Speaker 1 00:46:13 I have a lot of theories on spirits and what, what is a spirit in like, are they stuck at the age that they died? I don't believe that. But are they stuck in this realm? I don't know.
Speaker 0 00:46:23 I, I think as like people who do see the other side, but we're not like fully in touch. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 00:46:32 We can't sit down and interview them.
Speaker 0 00:46:34 Right. But some mediums can, like they're much more in touch than we are and feel like they Oh
Speaker 1 00:46:39 Absolutely.
Speaker 0 00:46:39 You and I both might get there one day, who knows? Like things go, but I do wonder that like, I don't know, there's a lot to understand about
Speaker 1 00:46:49 Maybe we can get a medium on here who has had some more interesting experiences.
Speaker 0 00:46:56 I know.
Speaker 1 00:46:57 And then we can kind of ask those questions. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:46:59 I actually would love to just like,
Speaker 1 00:47:01 That'd be fine. Cuz I know a few, you know, a few. Yeah. Maybe we could get someone on here and just kind of just interview them and asking them those questions because that, that I don't know. Well we both have our own experiences, like you said, we can't sit down and talk to them.
Speaker 0 00:47:13 But I feel like we're new baby mediums. Like we're you and I are not. We're just we
Speaker 1 00:47:16 Babies.
Speaker 0 00:47:17 We're the we babies. We're still figuring it out. Yes,
Speaker 1 00:47:20 Yes, yes, yes. So our next episode that, that's it for Hannah. That's it for Hannah. I think we need to go visit Hannah's grave. Well
Speaker 0 00:47:27 We won't be driving by it.
Speaker 1 00:47:28 We'll not be driving by it. We will drive up to the cemetery. We won't drive on the road below.
Speaker 0 00:47:32 I feel like we need to bring her some lunatic soup. Maybe she would like us
Speaker 1 00:47:35 Pour some, absolutely pour, pour
Speaker 0 00:47:37 Some, pour some soup out for the, for her home.
Speaker 1 00:47:38 Agreed. Our lost.
Speaker 0 00:47:40 Our
Speaker 1 00:47:40 Lost. Which maybe we should do that at the e Bowen house too.
Speaker 0 00:47:44 Maybe.
Speaker 1 00:47:45 Or we can go to Salem and do that at the Joshua Ward house. A lot of our stories have been in New England. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:47:50 You gotta bring it back over here.
Speaker 1 00:47:52 I do. Hmm. You're
Speaker 0 00:47:53 Correct.
Speaker 1 00:47:54 Interesting. If anybody has any like, you know, real ghosty or witchy stories from the Pacific Northwest, please send them my way. I know there's tons of 'em. I have seen, I know there's tons of them, but if you have one that's near and dear to your heart, send 'em my way. I know we'll
Speaker 0 00:48:06 Do it. We actually do have some listener stories. We're not gonna do 'em today because I feel like
Speaker 1 00:48:11 No, but we started getting some listening story listener stories in
Speaker 0 00:48:13 We accidentally had too much soup tonight. So I feel like getting there is not <laugh> the right day for it. Cuz we debated at the beginning do we share our listening stories?
Speaker 1 00:48:23 Mine's an alien story though. Yeah. So I feel like I need to share it at the end of a, uh, you know, alien encounter,
Speaker 0 00:48:29 But also don't have an alien one lined up. You've written a lot of ones, but
Speaker 1 00:48:32 You don't. Oh, but I do have some in mind. Oh, do you? Okay.
Speaker 0 00:48:35 So, and you could, you could write it and bump it up.
Speaker 1 00:48:36 Yeah. Okay. Yeah. But next week I think we're gonna do, um, the strawberry supermoon is coming up. Okay. So I really wanna focus on that and the meanings behind that and like intentions to set for that. And I think you should have some, a lot of input on that one.
Speaker 0 00:48:50 Okay. I'll
Speaker 1 00:48:51 Also thank you for listening to our last episode. That was, I think, really a vulnerable spot for both of
Speaker 0 00:48:57 Us. Yeah. And if you guys didn't enjoy it, we totally understand. That was us just like, kind of explaining who we are, how we got here.
Speaker 1 00:49:06 That's not gonna be every episode. No.
Speaker 0 00:49:08 It was just, we just felt like we needed to do that before we kind of went forward with everything else. So that people had
Speaker 1 00:49:14 Maybe for ourselves too. Yeah. Maybe
Speaker 0 00:49:15 It was for both of us. Well, no, I think it was for us, cuz both of us felt, it actually doesn't release until tomorrow,
Speaker 1 00:49:22 But by the time you hear this, it'll have a release
Speaker 0 00:49:24 No day after tomorrow. A day after tomorrow. Yeah. By the time, yeah, by the time you hear this, it will have been a week. And we are both still like, having severe anxiety over that episode airing. So once you listen to it, I don't know. Give us some like, love because it's a little bit scary.
Speaker 1 00:49:41 That's a scary one. What did you say? It's like going out on stage butt naked.
