Hi, everyone. This is Christina and Carmen and this is another episode of Spooky Teals. Today there's no MJ, but we have a super special guest. I'm very excited. She's on TikTok, she's on YouTube. She has a podcast all about spooky stuff. So do you want to introduce yourself? Hello, I'm Candy Kane and this is my first podcast ever, so I'm a little bit nervous, but I'm a psychic medium and a taroor reader and I have been for eight years now and now I tell spooky, true paranormal stories on the Internet. That's about and that's how I came across your TikTok page for the first time. I'm sure a lot of people came across these videos, but there was a bunch of people stitching this girl in her car who's like, tell me about a ghost story or something. And that's how I came across your videos. And seriously, everyone should follow you. I'm going to put your information in the show notes as well, so that you know you're easy to find. So we're gonna read a listener story and if you have a story that you want to send into the podcast, you can email spooky email dot com. You can DM us on any of our socials, you can submit it on Discord. Any of those things are fine. You can call these Pooky hotline. That's fine too. Lots of ways to get us your story. So we're going to read that, and then then we're just going to hear all of our guests awesome stories and very creepy stories. Carmen, are you ready to read it? I am? And this listener story comes from the Discord, so they say I was reading not ya the short stories you guys recommended, And the first story actually reminded me of an encounter I had in twenty twelve. I had two encounters in Fort Still while I was in boot camp. The first one was a little girl. As you know, Christina, when you're in boot camp, everything has to be a certain way. Well, we had to put our dress shoes inside a pair of socks on top of our locker, our boots and running shoes. But I can't exactly remember when it started, but at first I thought someone on Firewatch was messing with my boots. First they were moved out of place, then my boot laces were and the weirdest part of it was I had the tip of the laces tied so they wouldn't become untied. Anyways, every morning my boots were out of place with the laces out and the tips untied. I was furious because it was such a small annoyance, and like, seriously, we put up with enough in boot camp and way too tired for the dumb shit. Anyways, one night I woke up to go pee, and I was half asleep and my bed was towards the front, so I had to walk what seemed like a hallway that kept stretching and just seemed further away than usual. I rolled my eyes and I saw this little girl with curly hair and in the yellow dress. Mind you, it was dark, but somehow I was able to clearly see this little girl with her back towards me. I hear, so you want, Oh God, sorry, I scared myself already because I was reading it. I hear so you want to play? In my head, I just said fuck no and turn the fuck around and went to bed. Went back to bed. Even though in the moment I was Oh my god. Even though in the moment I was scared, I didn't feel bad or negative energy. Anyways. The boot situation kept happening, so to get to the bottom of it, I started a rumor. It's a perfect way to deal with any situation. So I started a rumor that we had a little ghost girl in the barracks and if anyone else has seen her or heard anything weird. Everyone wanted to know more, and I said, I keep hearing a little girl saying do you want to play? And my boots are always out of place. Word gets around to the whole barracks about the little ghost girl, and one of the girls pulls me to a side and asked me, is it a little girl with curly hair in the yellow dress, maybe about four or five years old. I never mentioned anything about age or what she wore, so it caught me off guard, but I said yes, why oh God. She proceeds to tell me that her adopted a little sister had passed away and it was the anniversary of her passing. I get chose instantly, and the girl starts crying, says she misses her, and shows me a picture of her. My face goes white as I was shocked, but had a sense of relief, not sure how to explain it, Almost like that feeling from Natosa like Gadalupez when the rose disappears and the air the air hits that's just silly. You had some TV show where miracles happen and every time they do, a rose disappears and there's like a wind and the wind is so visible and the people in the show their hair is just like flowing with the wind. Yeah. Yeah. And also after that, magically, my boots stayed in place every night. After that, I felt like I was the middle person between them and helped them reunite or a way for them to reconnect. That's cute, that's beautiful. Yeah. I'm a little scary, very still in the end. Yeah, because if anybody's asking if I want to play, no, no, no, thank you hard no either. This person already had written this story on Reddit in the past, like anonymously or it's a thing, because I was aft for it. Still. That's where I did my book camp, and there were stories. I never saw anything, but there were stories about a little girl in a yellow dress. Really, so that is concerning to me hearing this because now I'm like, what, I really hope it was her sister and there just happens to be a second little girl ghost running around for it. So but that seems unlikely that scary year. Now, why would it ghost stay there if it was the adopted sister? So yeah, that doesn't make sense. Yeah, what year was this? I don't think I said a year. No, I'm oh, I'm sorry I did. Yeah, I knew it. Twenty twelve? Why, hi there? It was not too long before, you know, I can't remember. Wow, was I there in twenty twelve? Were you? I was you were? Weren't you? Because we graduated in twenty ten. I was there September twenty twelve. Oh my god? Were there at say time? Let me know? Please let to know. Let me know. That's crazy, because then it would make sense if I heard about this yellow dress girl then. And I'm just confusing about where I heard it. I'm small world. Oh my god, this is weird. This has never happened to me. They had a second story, but I figured we would save it for another day. Well, thank you so much for sending that in. And yeah, please let me know when you were there, because I did hear about this little girl too. So so now maybe it is a little the sister then, and maybe she's moved on now and there's like no other stories. You know, I hope there's an update because that would be crazy if y'all were there at the same time like that, that would be really nute, right right, Well, comment, is are an update like anything else about Fort Zil in the second story, because like now I need to know more. You might as well just media honestly, Okay, second story. My second encounter at Fort Zill was after a long, hard day. It was when we marched to the gas chamber. I could have sworn they put something else in that gas chamber because on the march back, I couldn't stop seeing doing this and I felt like I was being fucked with. Did you see anyone? No, I saw nothing. On the last march we did, I was like hallucinating, But I think I was just tired because we were up for like twenty four hours. I don't think I could have sworn. You know. Those story is of like shadows in the mountains, like in places like the they called No it's like these mountains in California. I can't remember, they're called the watchers as any of these seeing the watchers, And it's somewhere in California that people say they see them, so I could have worn I saw like these tall black shadows, but I'm pretty sure imagined it because I literally was so exhausted about the fallover. I don't know how I survived that last march. I don't remember how long it is anymore, but the super long like march that we do, and it's after being deprived of sleep for hours for a very long time, so I can't say for sure it was their paranormal experience, though I did have a friend that says she saw when this really during during that same march, so I don't know. Then. Okay, wait, tell me about the book. That sounds familiar, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly. I said like the little people, Yeah, pretty much in Spanish, But aren't they smaller than little people? I thought they were, I personally like. My own theory is that they are the same thing, but just differ diferent places of the world, and that's why they're called different like names. But to me, I think they're the same honestly, although although I think like little people, do they say they resemble people more because when those are more like ugly like gnome looking things, although sometimes they say that they look like old in their face. So there's different descriptions. I always picture them like this big. Are they bigger than this? Oh? I feel like they're like So I met this lady. I just thought about it. I was like, where did I hear about this? I met this lady on a plane. I was like, where did I remember hearing this word? He said that they were like tiny. They looked like baby, but the closer you got, they got like really old faces and like scary teeth. Like she said that she saw them. I'm not sure if this was their Mexico or somethinghere, Like I'm pretty sure moved in Mexico and there was like a creek if I'm not mistaken, and there's a specific place that they're like, if it's dark, don't go to this creek. So she went anyway like teenagers do, and she's like, oh my god, there's like a little kid and he has no clothes on, like we have to say this little kid. And when she got closed, it looked like a really shriveled old man. But she said he was like tiny. I mean, I don't know, like toddler signs. I've never seen it, so I don't know if that's that's terrifying. It is. And yeah, so there's like some people say they're toddler sized, but then other people say they're smaller than that. But either way, they're horrifying the way. I don't want to meet one, right right, So they go on to say, literally, feeling like I was going crazy, like if I was on a bad trip or something. After showering and finally getting into bed, I was crying because I was so freaked out and having a moment of doubt, like what the hell did I get myself into? Starting to feel regret, This tall lady in bright red hair walked over to my bed, kneeled down and held my hand. She said everything is going to be okay, to not worry. Without realizing, I fell asleep peacefully, almost like it was just a dream, but really felt her hand. Anyways, with so much going on in boot camp, I entirely forgot about this encounter until months later. Hey, they went to Germany. Also, okay, sorry, hell, let me go on. I think you might know this person. So until months later. As in six months later, I was stationed in Germany. Not going to get into detail, some unfortunate events happened and I landed in the hospital being admitted to the psych ward. When I finally got to see a psychiatrist like a day or two later, on his desk, I saw a picture of two women and him, and now super hyper fixated on the picture until I just had to ask, who is that lady? He replied, my wife? I replied, I saw her in Oklahoma and told me that everything is going to be okay to not worry. He said that's not possible. She's passed away many years ago, and I said, how could that be. She held my hand until I fell asleep. He immediately told me our session was over, kicked me out of the office, and I was assigned someone else. It's one of those things I was just never able to explain, especially because Oklahoma and Germany are two separate countries. I never saw that doctor again, and I wouldn't know if he or she was from Oklahoma or any relationship into that state, or if I was just simply put on that path to pass a message. To this day, it remains a mystery to me, and I get chills every time I tell this story. I hope you guys enjoy the story. Thank you, Jay. That's insane. Yeah, no, but that like that is so weird because yeah, like they said in the message that this happened in Oklahoma and then this in Germany. So that's just like it was meant to be. Feels like a message. Weird how both stories is like someone who passed away and then then they like later encounter the person of the loved one of that goes or whatever. It sounds like Jay might be a median. Yeah, that really is what it sounds like, because like, what are the chances like they went looking for Jay? Right? I love those stories though. Okay, well let's take a quick ad break and then we'll get into the stories and we're back, all right. Well, I encountered to stories on TikTok and I remember being very creeped out by them, but I can hardly remember them now, so it's gonna be like new. But I mean, any stories that you want to share with us, it's totally cool. So the house that I lived in with the most activity, I first saw it when I was seventeen and an older cousin inherited it and she was creeped out by it. She was like, maybe we'll six it up and rent it out, but she's like I'm not living here. I was like, you're crazy, Like it looks it was just so different and unique, and I was like, I'm in love with everything that makes this house creepy. But I just thought it looked really cool. But she must have been more in tune with her. But fast forward ten years. I needed a place to stay and it had everything that I needed, like the amount of rooms and everything. And if you're watching like a scary movie to say like, oh, it had so many rooms in summer space and it was just so cheap. That's usually like a red flag, but yes, to me, I was just like, oh, I manifested this. I was like, this is wonderful, like it has everything, but I needn It didn't take long for things to start getting weird, so I started to kind of get into it with my sister here and there because it's like I didn't I didn't let you borrow this? Why is this here? Or like you know, why didn't you put this back where you know that? It goes like I couldn't find this, and she's like I don't know what you're talking about, or like I'm hearing her and I'm like, can you shut up? Like I can hear you through the wall, and like she just wouldn't be there, and it's like something, there's something weird here. And so there was this area on my side of the house that I would call it a revidual haunting. I called them the party people. It sounded like there was a party going on in that area every night at about the same time, and it happened to me it would sound like your uncle l are getting drunk in the next room, like just being loud, and we would just like sit and look at each other, like it was like having a really really loud roommate. But still it was like, well, maybe we're just hearing echoes from the house next door. The sound is caring, Like I tried to be logical to explain it away. Yes, for at least the first six months, it took a really long time to accept it, Like I really didn't want to accept it. I really think I was just in denial because I'm familiar with like ghost things. But I think I knew it's like, Okay, we're here for at least at least twelve months, so I'm going to have to figure out how to live with it. But it wasn't really until like the story that most people are introduced to me is by the Dappelganger story. There was a shadow person that lived in the closet in my bedroom closet. I know, why is it always the class but there it was so crazy because there was a part of the closet that we could never get into for some reason, and I took that as I don't need to see what's in this, so I completely ignored that section. So like when people would ask, like, oh, what's up there? Nothing, you don't know you're out there. Yeah, just pretend it's not there. I just want to say, if that was a horror movie, the white person would have gone into that listen. Oh yeah, listen. I was. I was very much becky in every sense of it, because like everything that I could have done wrong, I did wrong, all the mistakes that you think, you know, But in the moment, it's just like I see why, like before horror movies didn't seem so realistic. Now that I've lived it, it's like I could see myself doing that. Yeah, But like I told myself that certain things that I would see, I'm like, Okay, well, maybe it's just the shadows. Maybe I'm just not used to cars passing and just maybe it's light or something like that. And the ceilings were really high in my bedroom because the house was weird because it wasn't meant to be a house. I don't really know what it was before, but it was a few things. You could tell. It was a few things. So just in my room, the ceilings were extremely high. And I remember late at night, and this actually made me come up with a rule. But late at night, I would lay down and just look in the darkness and I would just see things. It was just it looked like my boyfriend showed me Harry Potter the dementors. I'd never seen yah, I've never seen it before until he showed me. And it's like, yes, that's exactly what it is. But I told myself it was just my eyes adjusting to the dark. I was like, maybe it's just I've never looked at it at night. I mean, you had to rationalize it. Yeah, yeah. And I would just sit and just look and it's like, it's so crazy what our brains do. That was not it at all. It wasn't until he started sleeping over and he got traumatized by certain beings there because there were more than just the party people and the shadow person. There was something else. Yeah, so he had his situation. I'll get into that, but it wasn't until he was like, you know, there's something that just flies around your room at night, like did you know that? And my heart just dropped. I was like you you see that too, Like that's not just my eyes adjusting and he's like no, like I laid down here. I lay down and watched it while you slept, and he's like, it just has a pattern. It just goes back and forth. And that was when it finally said it. I'm like, it's haunted, like this place is hanted, and I couldn't deny it. After that, when someone else sees it, there's no more, no more denying it. Yeah. So a mistake that I made when wait, okay, I'm getting I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm going to tell y'all about your the Dapple Ganger for those who haven't heard that story. So, we started out as friends, my boyfriend and I. So we would FaceTime late at night, and my rule was if the lights were off in the room, I had to either have my head completely covered or my flashlight on my phone, like it just I wouldn't. I just wouldn't be in the room while it was dark. But I was on FaceTime. Did want to hang up because you know, cute little puppy love. I wanted to talk on the phone. So I had my head uncovered and it was just complete darkness, and I had the phone like facing straight up, like on the pillow next to my head, like pointing straight up so I could see him, but he couldn't see me. All he could see was darkness. And I'm dozing off and something tells me to open my eyes, and he's like playing a video game and he'll like look over and he'll continue playing the game. He'll look over. And I opened my eyes and I saw my face like really really close to the camera, and I'm like, how did the phone move? I'm like, I'm trying to make sense of it because I'm halfway asleep and I'm just looking at it for like a second. I'm like, how did this happen? And I watch my face. Mind you, I'm not moving. I watched my face back away from the camera. Oh my god, my god. And mind you, the room is completely dark, so I couldn't see if anything was next to me, but I'm watching my face on the camera. I'm like this close and just like backing up and I know I'm not moving, and I just I wasn't making sense of it. And I was like, oh my god. And I saw he looked at the camera at that same time and he watched it too. But I didn't want to scare him. I was like, if he doesn't say anything, that was just my brain. I was half asleep, I'm dreaming it's something. And he goes like, why why is your facing the camera like that something? I said, wait, what are you talking about? And he's like, I just saw your face and I was like, no, no, you didn't. And I got up and I left. I went and I slept with my sister that night. I'm like I'm not going back and that I'm not doing it. But oh yeah it was. That was That's the story most people have been introduced to me by uh. That's the first one I saw. Yeah. We we dealt with a lot in that house. Like, Okay, so I have a son and my son is nonverbal, so like he'll be in his own little world. We kind of just coexist together. That's his version of playing as long as you're in the room, he's fine. He doesn't want you to play with him, but you know you be here. I played with my stuff, so I remember, I'm either waking up or falling asleep because it's multiple people in the house, so I could take a nap and he'll he'll be running around and everything's fine. So I wake up and I can see he's under like under his cover and he has like a little bean bag, and I hear his tablet, so I'm like, oh, you know, he's in his own little world in the room with me. So I'm just like laying in the band. I'm scrolling on my phone and it's normal for me to speak to him and for him to not acknowledge me. So I'm just like, hey, Buck, And I still hear the tablet, and he's I can see him on like his outline under the pillow, I mean under the cover. So I'm scrolling on my phone and then I hear him in another room, so I sit up because I'm like, am I am I tripping? So I sit up and I could see him wig because he's a little firecracker. I could see him wiggling. When I first woke up under the cover and when I looked up, the cover just went completely flo my god, completely flat. And then like immediately after, my mom comes to the room and she's like, did you see bucks tablet? And I'm just frozen. She's like what's wrong. I'm like nothing, Like should I even tell her? So I'm just like nothing. When I tell you, it was it was like a movie living there, and we would just look at each other and be like, I can't wait to leave, like we were counting down. Yeah, and we left early. So everyone was experiencing things like that. Yes. Yes. The only person who wasn't really scared for some reason was my sister. She would be the one like I would randomly hear her be like shut up, and I'm like, what's going on? She's like nothing. Like to her, it was more like I would be more scared. It was more annoying to her, like it was more like an inconvenience or like she'd come in the room and just be like, do you have a comb? Do you have a brush, because like I'm knowing that it's just disappearing. I already know what happens, so I'm just like grab what you need because I know you just had it and now you don't have it. I already know, like we kind of got used to that, or like you plug your phone and then you come back in the phone it's just not plugged or like just not in the wall at all, and nobody was in there. No one's phones were ever charged. No, it hated us talking on the phone, apparently like stop scrolling, get off your phone, you're not allowed. So I don't know, I might be skipping ahead a little bit, but there was a neighbor who I kind of gotten to know just just in passing, just hello, how you doing, because in the South, we speak even if you know you don't really know that person, it's hello, how you doing, good morning, you know whatever. He was Oh lord. I never actually really talked about this part. I kind of hinted at it on YouTube, but I never really talked about it. But his son dated a girl who lived in the house before me, like when they were teenagers, and he's like, well, you know, they were into that weird stuff. And I'm like, what what weird stuff? And it was like, oh, all the devil stuff in the leigie boards and all that. And he's like, I told them not to bring it into my house anymore, so they moved it to her house, which was the house. Okay, that that kind of explained where some of that might have been. And I have a theory. Of course, I'll never know because I was scared. I was too scary to really look in that closet, but I had a theory that it might have been in that closet, like in that space up till there. Yeah, because it was weird. It was just it was a lot. But I have stories for days just just in that house. I mean, that that blanked thing horrifying. I was so scared. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was probably the weirdest thing. And I think it's because I feel like my son might have been the hardest one to mimic. I think everybody kind of got mimicked. So, you know, I would hear my sister or my mom would hear me singing, like she would say that alone so scary. Yeah, and you went on something crazier. People still hear me singing there, Oh my god, I'm in Colorado. That house is in Louisiana. Oh my god, like it keeps your voice or something. Oh my god. Yes, yes, I'm so serious. So there's somewhere that the neighbors had thought that we moved in before we were actually there. Yeah, so they were like, you know, oh, there's been like loud music and stuff, which now I know was the party people. But they thought we had moved in before, and I was like, no, like they were still repairing things before we had gotten in, and I just kind of thought, well, maybe it was the guys who were working on the house. Maybe they were working late and partying. You know, it's certain things you just have to tell yourself. But again, those were the neighbors who were like, yo, well nobody stays there that long. Like, I'm surprised y'all lasted this long. It's like I wish y'all would have said something. Why anything? Zero there was? There was a lot. But now I kind of I've grown to view the shadow person as more of a guardian. I think, Okay, well should I should I go into that because that's like another story if you want. I feel like I'm just like rambling on and on and on. No, that's what we do here too, So it's fine. So, uh, my boyfriend got scared when he was alone. I'd left him alone and I'd gotten kind of comfortable in our routine, so we were always together, so I didn't I wasn't so scared when he was when he was around, but we would be there together. And I made the mistake of leaving him in another room and going to bed in my room, and then he got really really scared by something that looked like it crawled from under the house. That's the why that he described it. He's like, it's like caked with dirt and ripped up clothes and like it ran up to him and screamed in his face. That's horrible. Yeah, And I woke up in the middle of the night and I'm just like, he didn't. He didn't come like to bed, So I'm just like, what's going on. I get I get up to go find him, and he's just sitting There's nothing on TV. It's completely quiet. Every light is on, and he's just like sitting there. I'm like, what's wrong, and he's like he just looks so scared, and he wouldn't tell me. He didn't tell me for like a couple of weeks what happened. But I kind of viewed it at like he was like, well, maybe it scared me because I wasn't with you. I kind of felt like it scared him, so he would be in the room where nothing else would happen. Because there were multiple things. There was the shadow Man, there was that thing, there was the party people. There's a little thing that looks like a little kid. It was just a lot, a lot going on. So I kind of I viewed the because the shadow guy never really scared me, besides the fact that I had to put like I had to leave clothes, like a basket of clothes on the chair that I had in the room, because in the middle of the night, if I would look over, I would see somebody, like an outline of somebody just like sitting there. So I was the way that I viewed it was if I fill up this chair with things, the shadow man, they can't sit there, Yeah he won't. Maybe I won't sit here. Maybe he'll know he's not really welcome. But that's totally a thing, though, they say, at least in Mexico. I know this. People say this, but like, don't have chairs inside your room? Are you serious? Like it's inviting I was thinking of getting your chance todays don't do it. But it's gonna be my clothes chair. All right, No, that's fine. Then if you fill it up, they can't sit there. But it's my husband, Paul. He doesn't want me to get the chair because he says, I'm gonna put clothes on it. But now I have reason to him it's necessary. Oh my god, that's scary. I wish I had known that that was the thing before. It's also the doormat thing that they say, what dormat thing? Oh, not to have a welcome mat oh oh, mine mindsets like it's that cringey like millennial thing that's like don't knock, we don't want people here, or something like, well that's very so yeah that might that might be a good thing. Yeah, yeah, so I feel better now. It's I wonder if that thing was just the shadow thing, was just sitting there, like guarding you from this creepy crawley thing that see that that's kind of what I told myself that. I don't know that's better. I don't know if that was my mind making something that would let me stay there without losing my mind. So maybe that's just I don't know, but yeah, there was there was a lot going on. Maybe he was guarding the Ouiji board. That's kind of like maybe he's just like, maybe that's why he would just be in in the room. Maybe he wanted to make sure I didn't play with that, but I don't know. A lot of it is just a mystery. Well, it must be later for you. We could wrap up here if you want, Unless there's more stories you want to tell us. We're okay with either one. It is really up to y'all. But I can come back for another one later. It's oh my god, yes, let's do that. We would love that. I have stories on stories on stories. Yeah. No, this was great, So yeah, you're always welcome back. Serious, thank you so much for coming on. At the end of every episode, we give spooky recommendations, so anything spooky related you either you've been watching or listening to. Do you have any I have two books actually, ooh okay, Carmen's been obsessed with reading lately, so I'm trying to start like a pretty spooky book club. So far, it's only like a TikTok series because I don't really know how to do a book club. But oh my gosh, well, if we ever are reading the same book, let us know and we'll do a whole episode on it because we have suppose like they're not monthly, they're like, I don't know, every three months we read a different book and record an episode on it. And they're always horror books, and we love to do horror book books that are like not by white authors. I got so oh yeah, if we're or if there's a book like, yeah, for sure, we should do one of those together too. That'd be fun. Definitely, definitely. Okay. So first, I have never Whistle. It's on my list. Yes, that's dope and indigenous dark fiction anthology, and I love horror anthologies. I've only read the first story so far because I'm trying to finish a book before I start another one, but clearly I'm feeling it that and this one is so good. Honestly, you need it. If it's been on your list, you need to get it. And the cover is so pretty too, it is it is one more time for the cover. Yes, yes, it's beautiful. And this one is more of a spicy book. It's my first spicy book that I've ever gotten. It's I accidentally summoned a demon boyfriend. Oh okay, Jessica Cage, I actually found her on TikTok and one of my book talk friends recommended, and she actually bought it for me. She gifted it for me, and I'm so thankful that she did, because I haven't been able to put it down when I'm supposed to go something. I'm reading this book like and I'm almost finished, Like and this is like the quickest I've finished the book because I have ADHD, so that should tell you how good the book is. Join the club. Yeah, but those are my two spooky ricks. Sweet. Yeah, I'm gonna add both of those to my list, but like actually got them because I have a list and I never like get anything from the list, but for sure buying those look bump these up to the top because I have a ton of books that I start and then now they're just in the corner somewhere. But these two, like I have a hard time putting them down. I'm like, Okay, you have to go to sleep, you have stuff to do tomorrow. But they're really they're really good. But thank thank y'all for having me. I'm so excited is my very first time being has to be on somebody's podcast, and I love I've been binge watching y'all. Like since since I got the message, I'm like, okay, So every time I'm like cleaning or doing something, I put y'all on the TV, like on YouTube on the TV and I just sweep and listen to you guys. Oh thank you. Yeah. I sent the message and I was like, please reply please, And I hardly ever opened dms, but it was it was meant to be. It was meant to be that I saw the message because I never see like I missed a lot of messages, but it was meant to be. I love that because I also don't open TikTok messages. They're always strange, so very oh man, Karmen. Do you have any spooky recommendations before we go? No, we just recorded yesterday, so it would make sense that you don't have any. I'm still only watching Degrassi on my free time, so I have no spooky recommendations. But if anyone wants me to talk about Degrassi, I will which one? Which one are you on? Like the older older ones or like no, the next generation. But I'm in like the last two seasons where all the like og like where you know Jimmy was on drink. They're all gone. They've been gone, and now it's like this new class and I'm like, I don't know how I feel about them, but I'm watching it anyway because like, I have to finish now. I was so hurt when Jimmy got shot. Almost stopped watching it, like when I was a kid, almost stopped watching. I was like this, I thought he was going to be my husband, my thirteen year old brain. But yeah, I almost stopped watching. But Degrassi is a really good show. But it's a really good show. It's great, and I love that you've watched it. Yeah, because last time I tried talking more about it, it's like, all right, stop because nobody because you went on. I went on already, I did it. I did. It was too long, and we talked about it for like a long time. I felt, yeah, and it was like three episodes in a row that I can't That was the only reason I shut you down. You're right, you're right. Hopefully soon i'll have a spooky recommendation because I need to stop. But before we go, do you want to tell listeners where to find you? And again, I will link all this in the show notes. Okay, So Candy Cane on TikTok and Instagram and YouTube, and also The Pretty Spooky Show on Instagram. I just started that Instagram. I'm trying to do more YouTube exclusives and Instagram exclusives, just to move a bit away from TikTok because I put so much on there and I kind of want to build like a spooky community, just specifically that on Instagram.

And then on the spot You're like, what I forgot? I know, Okay, I'm gonna pause here I have. I was doing an interview for this like freelance gig and they were like, where are you from? And my ass said California and I haven't lived in California and like what ten years now? And I'm like why did I say California? And then later they're like, oh, how's the weather California. I was like, oh, it's actually rated in Washington, and they're like, did you say you're for California. I was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I don't know why I said that. It's crazy because it's the only part that I was like, Okay, I'm really nervous, but it's like, okay, just make sure that you don't forget to talk about your YouTube and like the process that you are. So I'm just like, Okay, don't forget, don't forget about the video essays, don't forget about the and completely that's the only thing I'm just completely blanket on. But I've been working on this series, this collection of video essays about supernatural paranormal things and a lot of folklore because I'm really into folklore. Yeah, so that's what I'm working on. I've only started really posting on YouTube like a week ago, so I'm trying to, you know, get up there and do my thing. I think I'm getting better. I'm going to be improving.
