00:00.031 --> 00:01.421
[SPEAKER_02]: an unexpected guest.
00:01.844 --> 00:02.589
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Jason Horton.
00:02.851 --> 00:05.248
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Rebecca Lead and this is Ghost Town.
00:19.994 --> 00:27.809
[SPEAKER_02]: We've discussed on Ghost Town and I've discussed with you that I've had strange interactions that I could not explain.
00:27.869 --> 00:31.076
[SPEAKER_02]: You couldn't although I rationalized a lot of them.
00:31.116 --> 00:36.045
[SPEAKER_00]: But as someone who's observed one of them, do you see me in LA?
00:36.066 --> 00:37.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you see me in action.
00:37.108 --> 00:37.528
[SPEAKER_00]: I have.
00:37.629 --> 00:38.450
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot.
00:38.691 --> 00:39.893
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not nothing.
00:41.172 --> 00:47.930
[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like it's bathrooms that attract whatever it is to me.
00:48.411 --> 00:54.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Most every time something happened has been in a bathroom and I've had another incident in a bathroom.
00:54.723 --> 00:58.129
[SPEAKER_00]: like bathrooms, like bathroom as well.
00:58.149 --> 01:06.042
[SPEAKER_02]: So the giant is shopping, who's helping a bathroom in a bathroom, my own bathroom, my own bathroom in my apartment.
01:07.003 --> 01:11.210
[SPEAKER_02]: And we have to add another bathroom to the list.
01:11.230 --> 01:15.297
[SPEAKER_02]: The bathroom at Fred 62 in La Villes.
01:16.188 --> 01:17.851
[SPEAKER_00]: I probably wouldn't have guessed that.
01:18.012 --> 01:23.443
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd have a lot of guesses as we do a lot of LA history, but Fred 62, which is a diner in Los Angeles.
01:23.463 --> 01:24.726
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like celebrities there.
01:24.746 --> 01:27.091
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, food, be minus.
01:27.372 --> 01:32.863
[SPEAKER_02]: Can we say that there's been people in Fred 62 that have been
01:32.843 --> 01:34.525
[SPEAKER_02]: going through some stuff over the years.
01:34.605 --> 01:35.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Goalish people.
01:35.727 --> 01:36.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:36.268 --> 01:39.272
[SPEAKER_02]: And that bathroom, it's only a one person bathroom.
01:39.673 --> 01:43.278
[SPEAKER_02]: Because every time I go there, I was like, I know I have to like, I'm just there and have to wait.
01:43.318 --> 01:45.120
[SPEAKER_02]: And then some cool person is going to leave the bathroom.
01:45.721 --> 01:50.848
[SPEAKER_02]: Some person that looks so cool, denim or like, they're always like lasting.
01:50.868 --> 01:54.133
[SPEAKER_02]: And the clothes and their closures kind of like hang off of them.
01:54.153 --> 01:55.695
[SPEAKER_02]: So recently,
01:55.675 --> 01:58.478
[SPEAKER_02]: a friend of mine, a comedian friend of mine passed away.
01:59.059 --> 02:08.270
[SPEAKER_02]: So that had happened probably within the last week, and I'm not saying that's related, but that was what was on my mind a little bit.
02:09.371 --> 02:14.437
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was something that I had been discussing, but when I was at Fritzika 2, I wasn't.
02:14.477 --> 02:21.586
[SPEAKER_02]: I just happened to go, I think I was doing another comedy show, and we stopped and got Fritzika 2 and got something to eat, talked about the show.
02:21.766 --> 02:22.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
02:22.507 --> 02:32.563
[SPEAKER_02]: So it wasn't like I was front-loaded with any if my thing is always kind of like oh Am I looking for this and I never ever am and I'm never expecting it I'm never I'm forever skeptic.
02:32.703 --> 02:46.725
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you don't want it even I don't I really don't want it because it's it's a really weird feeling like I'm in almost my near mid 50s I've I've felt a lot of things that I felt but there's and there's not
02:46.705 --> 02:48.775
[SPEAKER_02]: too much new under the sun for me.
02:48.795 --> 02:51.730
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, there's no new not many new revelations at all.
02:51.810 --> 02:54.825
[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of seen it all so at Fred 62.
02:55.717 --> 03:00.763
[SPEAKER_02]: And I go to the bathroom, no line for the bathroom, lucky me.
03:01.043 --> 03:01.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Spooky.
03:02.045 --> 03:05.889
[SPEAKER_02]: It's already like, oh, I'm like, already, I'm like, oh, everything is just come freely.
03:05.989 --> 03:06.950

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm two now, like, I was like, wow, this is my last show.
03:08.893 --> 03:09.373
[SPEAKER_02]: It was busy.
03:09.553 --> 03:10.695
[SPEAKER_02]: It's always busy.
03:10.855 --> 03:12.136
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone is so cool.
03:13.738 --> 03:16.522
[SPEAKER_02]: At most, I'm a little bit insecure of how cool everybody is.
03:16.602 --> 03:16.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
03:17.303 --> 03:20.346
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm very excited that I just get to use the bathroom.
03:20.386 --> 03:20.987
[SPEAKER_00]: No lines, baby.
03:22.449 --> 03:23.530
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm wearing a hoodie.
03:24.134 --> 03:25.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
03:25.395 --> 03:27.358
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're like, okay.
03:27.378 --> 03:28.639
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, Mr. Casual.

03:33.044 --> 03:35.147
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
03:35.167 --> 03:36.128
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm eating French fries.
03:36.548 --> 03:37.469
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm wearing a hoodie.
03:37.770 --> 03:38.751
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, whatever dude.
03:39.371 --> 03:50.344
[SPEAKER_01]: What ever dude?
03:50.324 --> 04:00.615
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm in the bathroom and I like I said I'm wearing a hoodie and I'm Ping I'll say you'll say you're break here on this podcast Ping standing up by the way.
04:00.795 --> 04:02.797
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, despite despite the rumors.
04:03.118 --> 04:07.182
[SPEAKER_02]: I do peace standing up nice All right, he tells her see he does seem important.
04:07.202 --> 04:11.967
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like I feel like Jesus peace sitting down I feel like that's his vibe and then I do have it.
04:11.987 --> 04:14.610
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, I do have that button, but I think like an alpha I pee
04:14.590 --> 04:15.854
[SPEAKER_02]: Standing up.
04:15.874 --> 04:16.235
[SPEAKER_02]: I pee.
04:16.295 --> 04:21.813
[SPEAKER_02]: I get done peeing and I feel someone pull on my hoodie.
04:22.335 --> 04:23.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I'm like this.
04:23.077 --> 04:26.929
[SPEAKER_02]: I pull back and I turn around really quick and there's nobody there.
04:28.259 --> 04:31.184
[SPEAKER_02]: All the hairs are standing up on my the back of my neck.
04:31.244 --> 04:33.207
[SPEAKER_02]: They're standing up on my arms and stuff like that.
04:33.308 --> 04:42.223
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was the same feeling I had when I was in my bathroom at home and I was just taking off like a shirt I could normally be and I felt like somebody pulled pulling it back down.
04:42.984 --> 04:47.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so you have that muscle memory of that other encounter a little bit.
04:47.071 --> 04:52.360
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but it was one of those things where I was like listen, I peed in a hoodie many times
04:53.453 --> 04:54.715
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll say that I peed many times.
04:54.835 --> 04:55.997
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't don't play me.
04:56.218 --> 04:57.079
[SPEAKER_00]: I peed in a hoodie.
04:57.981 --> 04:58.762
[SPEAKER_02]: I peed in a hoodie.
04:58.982 --> 05:03.490
[SPEAKER_02]: But I felt some one or something pull on that hoodie.
05:03.851 --> 05:07.116
[SPEAKER_02]: I could, like, like, so I'm like, you know, and I'm done.
05:07.136 --> 05:07.958
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like that.
05:08.038 --> 05:08.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoa.
05:08.579 --> 05:08.879
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
05:09.180 --> 05:13.728
[SPEAKER_00]: It really, so it couldn't have been, you know, the hoodie kind of falling off.
05:13.748 --> 05:14.810
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no hoodie that is.
05:15.210 --> 05:16.272
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no.
05:16.252 --> 05:20.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Whereas when I was taking off my shirt that one time, there was a lot of movement happened.
05:20.559 --> 05:20.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:21.039 --> 05:22.422
[SPEAKER_02]: So again, I rationed a lot.
05:22.522 --> 05:26.127
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though that was also a strange, where you just have like, that was weird.
05:26.248 --> 05:28.411
[SPEAKER_02]: And this doesn't happen often to me.
05:28.451 --> 05:31.055
[SPEAKER_02]: And not something I'm ever looking for.
05:31.115 --> 05:36.724
[SPEAKER_02]: There's probably maybe four occasions that something weird has happened in my 50s, something years.
05:36.704 --> 05:54.714
[SPEAKER_02]: But when it did happen, I mean, I even went and I was like in the bathroom and I could tell because when I got out there was like a long time for the bathroom They were like I Was really freaked out and I like walked over to the table and my friend luckily he was like I was he was on the phone So I didn't have to like him be like what's up dude?
05:55.234 --> 06:01.665
[SPEAKER_02]: So I got to kind of compose myself, but it really really freaked me out and that was probably I mean was like three weeks ago
06:01.645 --> 06:05.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I just haven't, I was waiting to it's over Texas now.
06:05.855 --> 06:07.279
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it doesn't have the same effect.
06:07.299 --> 06:09.003
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm glad we did this in person.
06:09.103 --> 06:16.060
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was my haunting at Fred's 62 and the probably the scariest part was the check.
00:00.031 --> 00:01.421
[SPEAKER_02]: an unexpected guest.
00:01.844 --> 00:02.589

[SPEAKER_02]: Like I'm like this.
04:23.077 --> 04:26.929
[SPEAKER_02]: I pull back and I turn around really quick and there's nobody there.
04:28.259 --> 04:31.184
[SPEAKER_02]: All the hairs are standing up on my the back of my neck.
04:31.244 --> 04:33.207
[SPEAKER_02]: They're standing up on my arms and stuff like that.
04:33.308 --> 04:42.223
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was the same feeling I had when I was in my bathroom at home and I was just taking off like a shirt I could normally be and I felt like somebody pulled pulling it back down.
04:42.984 --> 04:47.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so you have that muscle memory of that other encounter a little bit.
04:47.071 --> 04:52.360
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but it was one of those things where I was like listen, I peed in a hoodie many times
04:53.453 --> 04:54.715
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll say that I peed many times.
04:54.835 --> 04:55.997
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't don't play me.
04:56.218 --> 04:57.079
[SPEAKER_00]: I peed in a hoodie.
04:57.981 --> 04:58.762
[SPEAKER_02]: I peed in a hoodie.
04:58.982 --> 05:03.490
[SPEAKER_02]: But I felt some one or something pull on that hoodie.
05:03.851 --> 05:07.116
[SPEAKER_02]: I could, like, like, so I'm like, you know, and I'm done.
05:07.136 --> 05:07.958
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like that.
05:08.038 --> 05:08.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Whoa.
05:08.579 --> 05:08.879
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
05:09.180 --> 05:13.728
[SPEAKER_00]: It really, so it couldn't have been, you know, the hoodie kind of falling off.
05:13.748 --> 05:14.810
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no hoodie that is.
05:15.210 --> 05:16.272
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no.
05:16.252 --> 05:20.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Whereas when I was taking off my shirt that one time, there was a lot of movement happened.
05:20.559 --> 05:20.659
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:21.039 --> 05:22.422
[SPEAKER_02]: So again, I rationed a lot.
05:22.522 --> 05:26.127
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though that was also a strange, where you just have like, that was weird.
05:26.248 --> 05:28.411
[SPEAKER_02]: And this doesn't happen often to me.
05:28.451 --> 05:31.055
[SPEAKER_02]: And not something I'm ever looking for.
05:31.115 --> 05:36.724
[SPEAKER_02]: There's probably maybe four occasions that something weird has happened in my 50s, something years.
05:36.704 --> 05:54.714
[SPEAKER_02]: But when it did happen, I mean, I even went and I was like in the bathroom and I could tell because when I got out there was like a long time for the bathroom They were like I Was really freaked out and I like walked over to the table and my friend luckily he was like I was he was on the phone So I didn't have to like him be like what's up dude?
05:55.234 --> 06:01.665
[SPEAKER_02]: So I got to kind of compose myself, but it really really freaked me out and that was probably I mean was like three weeks ago
06:01.645 --> 06:05.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I just haven't, I was waiting to it's over Texas now.
06:05.855 --> 06:07.279
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it doesn't have the same effect.
06:07.299 --> 06:09.003
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm glad we did this in person.
06:09.103 --> 06:16.060
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was my haunting at Fred's 62 and the probably the scariest part was the check.
