The Etsy Witch (GT Mini)

WEBVTT

00:00.031 --> 00:01.373
[SPEAKER_00]: a real-life witch hunt.

00:01.933 --> 00:05.177
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Jason Horton, I'm Rebecca Leib, and this is Ghost Town.

00:19.876 --> 00:25.202
[SPEAKER_02]: Of all the craziness that came out of 2025, one of the biggest events was the rise of the Etsy witch.

00:25.823 --> 00:27.405
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you know what an Etsy witch is?

00:28.465 --> 00:40.770
[SPEAKER_00]: I do because I may know someone who purchased a curse or hex from Etsy, from a witch.

00:42.894 --> 00:45.539
[SPEAKER_00]: By I may, I mean I do.

00:46.421 --> 00:47.503
[SPEAKER_02]: Great.

00:47.618 --> 00:48.540
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see that won't come into you.

00:48.560 --> 00:48.761
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't.

00:48.781 --> 00:48.981
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

00:49.101 --> 00:49.943
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really like.

00:49.963 --> 00:51.827
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a thousand more follow-up questions.

00:52.790 --> 01:05.458
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's possible that I may have what the curse involves, like they break down what, how the curse unfolds and how it all works.

01:05.819 --> 01:07.382
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have that information.

01:07.447 --> 01:09.751
[SPEAKER_01]: What is it?

01:10.332 --> 01:10.773
[SPEAKER_01]: Tell us.

01:11.354 --> 01:11.734
[SPEAKER_01]: Tell us.

01:12.356 --> 01:13.337
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you care.

01:14.139 --> 01:15.221
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you'd be interested.

01:15.261 --> 01:16.743
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

01:17.084 --> 01:17.465
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

01:17.705 --> 01:18.466
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know me at all.

01:19.268 --> 01:20.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want me to read something?

01:20.289 --> 01:22.333
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I fucking do.

01:22.752 --> 01:35.203
[SPEAKER_00]: I performed this working earlier tonight on your behalf beneath the wax and crescent moon, a lunar phase good for symbolically building pressure, slash revealing hidden structures, and drawing truth upward into the visibility as the light increases to full moon.

01:35.904 --> 01:43.751
[SPEAKER_00]: I focus on the dismantling of corruption and unethical power structures wherever they currently operate within the U.S. administration.

01:44.231 --> 01:45.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, baby!

01:45.772 --> 01:52.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Did it work?

01:53.009 --> 01:53.830
[SPEAKER_00]: didn't work.

01:54.751 --> 01:56.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, ask yourself this.

01:56.713 --> 01:58.695
[SPEAKER_00]: Have things been kind of crazy lately?

02:00.036 --> 02:00.737
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they have.

02:01.197 --> 02:08.144
[SPEAKER_00]: The timing of it coincidentally or un coincidentally coincides.

02:09.345 --> 02:10.026
[SPEAKER_00]: Timing wise.

02:10.727 --> 02:14.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, with that, I say there's always something going on.

02:14.090 --> 02:14.331
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

02:14.391 --> 02:14.851
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

02:14.951 --> 02:16.453
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm forever skeptic.

02:16.773 --> 02:18.475
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm forever a bit of a cynic.

02:18.975 --> 02:19.776
[SPEAKER_00]: However,

02:21.089 --> 02:26.796
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a little uncanny the way things have been really unfolding lately.

02:26.816 --> 02:31.482
[SPEAKER_00]: And depending on when you're listening to this, I think you can kind of pick up or what we're putting down.

02:31.582 --> 02:32.524
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you can too.

02:32.564 --> 02:34.126
[SPEAKER_02]: You're all listeners or geniuses.

02:34.446 --> 02:35.087
[SPEAKER_02]: They understand.

02:35.347 --> 02:36.028
[SPEAKER_00]: They understand.

02:36.048 --> 02:37.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I didn't have that in my back pocket.

02:37.930 --> 02:41.795
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, actually, uh, I had, I had hoped.

02:41.815 --> 02:43.097
[SPEAKER_02]: I had, I had hoped.

02:43.077 --> 02:51.973
[SPEAKER_00]: But the fact that you have boots on the ground experience is fair and just, I purchased curse or hex from an Etsy witch.

02:52.088 --> 02:52.569
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

02:53.129 --> 02:53.810
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

02:54.030 --> 02:55.212
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm shook.

02:55.372 --> 02:59.297
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very happy and I hope best for this.

02:59.637 --> 03:11.291
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, so I have been reading that a lot of these Etsy witches are getting shut down, which again, Etsy is the primary vehicle for a lot of these witches to solicit business, perform their spells, etc.

03:11.432 --> 03:12.994
[SPEAKER_02]: You went to Etsy to get those.

03:13.014 --> 03:14.215
[SPEAKER_02]: This is for it's from Etsy.

03:14.195 --> 03:15.337
[SPEAKER_02]: Fresh from Etsy.

03:15.697 --> 03:16.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I get this.

03:16.358 --> 03:36.928
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to say whether I got it or somebody I know got it and then gave me the information got it, but I will take it's under, I like I will take responsibility for whatever energy is it's Now I've also been criticized that by talking about

03:36.908 --> 03:37.930
[SPEAKER_00]: the curse.

03:38.651 --> 03:42.698
[SPEAKER_00]: People could see that and try to counteract that with other curses.

03:43.139 --> 03:49.090
[SPEAKER_00]: But what I believe is that the damage or lack of damage has already been done.

03:49.110 --> 03:51.073
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's really no way.

03:51.634 --> 03:54.259
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not putting the two things back in the tube with this one.

03:54.239 --> 04:04.864
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I love the power, the powers that be are fighting on your behalf for justice, goodness, under a waning half moon.

04:04.884 --> 04:09.615
[SPEAKER_02]: I, okay, so you know exactly the power of the Etsy witch.

04:09.595 --> 04:10.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Also, I asked to be hotter.

04:11.557 --> 04:13.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what you're doing to anybody?

04:13.199 --> 04:14.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Is anybody working in anybody?

04:14.441 --> 04:15.122
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

04:15.142 --> 04:15.282
[SPEAKER_00]: He has.

04:15.302 --> 04:15.622
[SPEAKER_00]: He has.

04:15.642 --> 04:16.844
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a filters up.

04:16.864 --> 04:17.024
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

04:17.044 --> 04:17.244
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

04:17.345 --> 04:17.705
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a bonus.

04:17.725 --> 04:18.326
[SPEAKER_02]: That was an add-on.

04:18.346 --> 04:18.866
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a bonus.

04:18.886 --> 04:19.547
[SPEAKER_00]: That was an add-on.

04:19.687 --> 04:35.687
[SPEAKER_00]: You're strictly anti-the censorship of Etsy, which is absolutely whether, you know, people want to get, you know, there's the tar cards red or there's some in the list of things that are, I consider kind of negative or scammy.

04:36.148 --> 04:39.552
[SPEAKER_00]: This is somewhere at the bottom.

04:39.532 --> 04:42.899
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really think the work is being put, because you say, like, uh, give me a curve.

04:43.781 --> 04:54.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I have pages of information that I don't, you know, and it's specific to what the curse, you know, it's specific to that curse.

04:54.403 --> 04:57.749
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, like, going to like a chiropractor.

04:57.770 --> 04:58.992
[SPEAKER_00]: I was talking about where it's like,

04:58.972 --> 05:03.663
[SPEAKER_00]: This hurts in that hurts, but we're going to do the same different adjustments for this, like kind of catch all.

05:04.003 --> 05:08.353
[SPEAKER_00]: This is definitely not a catch all, but I'm also not like well versed in witchcraft.

05:08.453 --> 05:09.295
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

05:09.456 --> 05:10.959
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a pointed attack.

05:10.999 --> 05:14.888
[SPEAKER_02]: This is systemic process to get you what you want.

05:14.868 --> 05:15.389
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.

05:16.290 --> 05:24.939
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that people who are censoring this type of work, you don't want to piss off in Etsy, which you don't want to do it.

05:25.199 --> 05:26.821
[SPEAKER_02]: You heard that.

05:27.061 --> 05:27.542
[SPEAKER_02]: You read that.

05:27.922 --> 05:29.945
[SPEAKER_02]: This is some powerful thing is going on.

05:30.525 --> 05:39.475
[SPEAKER_02]: And to do that for the sake of what I don't know, trying to censor the, I guess it's censorship propaganda.

05:40.062 --> 06:05.412
[SPEAKER_00]: like not delivering on something they claim to be offering who to say what that is or what people want to pay for whether it's like you know this or sex work or whatever like that you know there's so many like scammy things out there as well and that people aren't getting what they asked for so uh i say yeah i said like i said let them let them let them rich let them currently and i mean as long as i'm protected i'm

06:05.510 --> 06:07.332
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know you're definitely protected.

06:07.352 --> 06:08.213
[SPEAKER_02]: I have to ask though.

06:08.313 --> 06:10.236
[SPEAKER_02]: How much is that?

06:10.256 --> 06:10.956
[SPEAKER_00]: $4,000.

06:11.277 --> 06:11.777
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that fed?

06:12.398 --> 06:12.698
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

06:12.899 --> 06:19.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, when you're rich, when you're rich like me, um, it was a pretty, it was a pretty, it was a pretty nominal fee.

06:19.366 --> 06:19.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

06:19.707 --> 06:20.187
[SPEAKER_00]: It was okay.

06:20.227 --> 06:20.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty nominal.

06:21.008 --> 06:21.609
[SPEAKER_02]: Ballpark.

06:21.749 --> 06:25.153
[SPEAKER_02]: More, like, like, like, Leonard, let's dinner.

06:25.854 --> 06:26.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, in LA.

06:26.755 --> 06:29.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a good guy cooked with lime.

06:31.361 --> 06:38.650
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like no, I would say it's it's less than a hundred dollars But more than one dollar.

06:38.670 --> 06:39.852
[SPEAKER_00]: You're so secretive.

06:39.872 --> 06:53.910
[SPEAKER_00]: I would never say like who the account is or anything really specific because again I don't want them to like get shut that you know me just putting it out there, but you might also get them business

06:53.890 --> 07:14.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I guess depending on what is happening, what we're talking about right sure because I want to go to them Yeah, I mean, I have there I have their information, but again, I don't want them to be shut down and they're probably I mean the fact that they're not getting shut down because they're doing so poorly No, nobody's like yeah, I was like you're getting too little attention You're getting shut down nobody cares

07:14.393 --> 07:16.838
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you're getting too much attention and it's working.

07:16.878 --> 07:17.700
[SPEAKER_02]: It's powerful.

07:18.100 --> 07:23.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Even the thought of it seems powerful, depending on what you believe and that's Very sexy to me.

07:24.213 --> 07:25.635
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, very sexy indeed.

07:25.756 --> 07:33.912
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be in the good graces of the Etsy witches and I want them to flourish and I want them to you know It's doing work.

07:33.952 --> 07:36.537
[SPEAKER_00]: I want them to to make a living and make money and

07:36.517 --> 07:38.439
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're purchasing things in their time.

07:38.460 --> 07:40.102
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very probably time consuming.

07:40.162 --> 07:44.708
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's sort of a really interesting thing where it was like I ordered this It's like hey, you go.

07:44.728 --> 07:55.842
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think it seemed very but I also got I'm not very like well versed in any of this, but I Think I Is representative Got our money's worth

[SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

07:59.202 --> 08:00.925

[SPEAKER_02]: What was last time?

08:02.087 --> 08:02.468
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now that I know that you went to an Etsy witch, answer me this.

08:06.154 --> 08:07.697
[SPEAKER_02]: What was the last time that you were on Craigslist?

08:09.260 --> 08:15.771
[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna be a, it's been a, it's been a while, but that used to be the way to kind of like get anything.

08:15.751 --> 08:19.760
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, I thought you were going to pull up, you're like, here's my robust account, you know.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, I haven't been on.

08:23.047 --> 08:28.319
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't needed like a roommate or ticket to something or take it to something or like some old, old weights.

08:28.780 --> 08:29.562
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, in a while.

[SPEAKER_02]: I went on in researching.

08:36.774 --> 08:37.635
[SPEAKER_02]: I did my research.

08:37.655 --> 08:47.526
[SPEAKER_02]: I went on and there is this this wire profile of Craigslist that calls it the one of the last on gentrified parts of the internet.

08:47.846 --> 08:49.949
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks exactly the same as it did.

08:49.969 --> 08:51.991
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got the links and stuff.

08:52.031 --> 08:56.676
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a little bit different than when it started and that like, you know, you're in a count and you can like do things a little bit

08:56.656 --> 08:59.200
[SPEAKER_02]: Easier, but it's the same shit.

08:59.220 --> 09:03.746
[SPEAKER_02]: It still has it doesn't have like personal So I remember like going on for like personal's way back in the day.

09:03.967 --> 09:06.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah It's a big hit.

09:06.230 --> 09:07.552
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they still have misconnection though.

09:07.572 --> 09:08.493
[SPEAKER_02]: Misconnections exist.

09:08.653 --> 09:18.748
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's that really Personal shut down in I've got it as 2018 here misconnections still active still happening

09:18.728 --> 09:35.775
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I read that Craigslist is actually having a revival because it's so unpretentious and so bare bones and people are kind of like sick of the bullshit and so I'm back on I'm looking I'm I'm looking for things I'm looking for whenever maybe a connection or a Facebook marketplace used.

09:35.755 --> 09:42.623
[SPEAKER_02]: like Craigslist makes Facebook Marketplace, look like the nice, look like Goose on the Beach website.

09:43.224 --> 09:45.647
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, just like the nicest place you've ever been.

09:45.687 --> 09:48.270
[SPEAKER_02]: So I, you know, I'm getting it.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm looking for, I don't know, yeah, like tickly discount tickets places.

09:57.641 --> 10:03.147
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, my brother was on Craigslist recently, not recently, I mean, during the era's tour to get a Taylor Swift ticket,

10:03.127 --> 10:07.127
