Welcome to the Unrest podcast.
Episode by talking about something interesting I saw the other day.
Daily Mail like Snapchat, Like magazine?
Tragic monuments to millions of people who have died.
Yeah, they're going to be haunted.
Leading into one of the concentration camps and like there's this guy in front of her.
And all these people are like standing around looking, looking at them like, what the hell?
That's like, super disgusting. Almost.
Yeah, I think it ****** me now.
I I don't know how old these people were, but I'm.
Assuming they were probably young.
And I try so hard whenever I hear like the older generations talk about.
I think that's the bottom line.
So anyways, I just thought that was really interesting and sort of piqued my interest because.
I mean that is just the number one example of not respecting the dead.
And that's one thing that I hope comes across in this show.
The dead, like the tragically.
Hope that that's one thing that comes.
People doing stuff like that, but it's so icky.
Week is Michael and he is from the states.
Originally, but he now lives in Barcelona.
And when I experienced that one day.
But he shares with me a story from his younger days working in a building in the states.
And then he also shares a story from his traveling in Siberia.
I think when I was younger I I had always kind of seen things.
I wouldn't exactly call it like.
I've always been a skeptic, you know, with like, you know, psychics and ghosts and.
UFOs like I'm always sort of on the fence.
Do I not believe until I have an experience so?
You know, once I have an experience, then I sort.
It's not too far from there, kind of.
I was working for a graphic design firm and.
Company who had purchased the building.
Four or five years, and when I started work.
King, not the owner, but some of the employees.
Some of the people I worked with kind of with Joe can say like, oh, have you met the ghost yet?
It's like, what are you talking about?
The ghost and everyone would kind of chuckle and laugh.
I probably worked there about six months when.
Like I said, we only had about 15 employees and we were all downstairs.
No one was on the 2nd floor and we were having a very impromptu meeting.
And in the middle of this meeting, we.
And it obviously came from upstairs.
I didn't think anything of it.
Some of the other employees chuckled.
Ever the only history that I know is that it it.
They're kind of standing proudly in front of the building.
That's the only history that I know.
It's kind of an interesting neighborhood.
It was zoned, partially commercial and partially residential.
Still, there's a lot of houses, a lot of old homes on this street.
in this town and caddy corner to the building that I worked in was a very, very old church.
It had a small cemetery in the in the behind it and I had explored there one day on a lunch break.
And most of the tombstones were soldiers from the Revolutionary War and also from the Civil War.
It was really interesting, you know.
So it was kind of an interesting and interesting little neighborhood.
Soon after I was there, and after I had heard that first door closed, I started to notice.
I guess we can call them anomalies.
And I'm assuming at one time that's where the bedrooms were.
I mostly worked on the 2nd floor.
I was I was printing large format posters so we had.
We were using the bedrooms and we had all this different equipment in there.
So you would go up the stairs and you would enter.
What I assumed was a bedroom at one time and then there was a long hallway.
I would hit a cold spot like it was freezing.
It could be the middle of summer.
All of a sudden it was just ice cold.
Absolutely no explanation for it and everyone had experienced that.
And I do remember the first time it happened, I had questioned one of my.
He didn't even get out of his chair.
Happens all the time it it became.
Incredibly common, like the longer that I worked there.
Times we were all on the main floor and you.
Can hear the sound of someone walking.
From one end to the other, that probably happened.
The building had a really good vibe to it.
It it didn't feel frightening or scary.
I had kind of grown used to it.
We would kind of laugh at times and yell and.
You and then of course it would stop and there were plenty of times.
Upstairs and there was no one up there like that to me.
There was no real explanation for it until I had a real encounter.
So I used to work long hours for this business.
There were, there were many, many, many nights where I worked there alone.
And I may be there till midnight.
You know, it was a it was a deadline based printing.
So there were plenty of times that I worked in there.
And I can tell you, I was never afraid.
I never felt any kind of an evil presence.
And to be honest, I never really felt.
And one night I was working late.
Maybe midnight and I was working downstairs and I start to hear the footsteps.
And I was having problems with some of the the printing equipment and I wasn't in a very good mood.
Start to yell like, hey, I'm trying to work, you know, like and.
It kept happening and it kept happening.
And it stopped and went back downstairs.
Home and I suddenly felt the presence of another person.
But something that would be worn maybe in the 1800s with the big buttons.
He had, like, a big pocket watch.
And I can tell that he was like a very important person.
Big, long beard, big mustache, some kind of crazy black.
Not really cowboy hat, but like a round hat.
And I thought, like, Oh my God, I'm like.
That's the man that's been walking around upstairs.
And I looked back, expecting him.
It was like it wasn't like he dissolved and faded away.
He was there and then he wasn't there.
Entity that was in front of Maine wanted to do me any harm.
Hey, I'm the guy that you're walking around like like it was an introduction.
Told everyone, including the owner.
Any experience as exciting as the few years that I worked there?
You know, after I had seen this, this what I assumed to be an old ship captain.
Ship captain, but that was the.
It wasn't like drugs or alcohol.
Or, you know, I was overtired I.
Of annoyed that I was hearing all this noise and I was having a rough.
Cold spots and the noise is never stopped.
It wasn't like he made his appearance, and then it all went away.
But I had never seen him again.
I think everyone has has the ability.
To feel different energies, that kind of thing.
But I think most people are probably blind to it and they don't realize that when they have.
Uneasy feeling that maybe there's spirits.
Or maybe there's energy in the same place where they are, I mean.
Had I've had more spiritual experiences like that than?
I've traveled to Siberia three times and I actually.
It and on my first trip to Siberia, I went with a friend to visit an old Buddhist temple.
It has a dark history, sort of.
When you visit this part of Siberia is sort of one of the things you do.
You take this long like 10 hour drive to go visit this.
The ruins of this temple and there's really nothing there.
It's just this open field and there's this.
Of this old temple three times clockwise, it has something to do with Buddhism.
And the first one was sadness and it.
Deep sorrow and the other one was sort of.
I don't want to call it joy, but it was more.
So simultaneously I was feeling like the suffering that happened there, but also the hope.
Of this this event not being forgotten.
Like, I'm like, really losing my mind.
Well, after a minute kind of got up, dried my tears away and I walked over to him.
I said, oh man, I'm really sorry.
And he just smiled and he said, Michael, you're not the only person that's cried here.
So I thought that was that was kind of heavy.
I didn't question it because I understood I understood.
Other people have been there that probably.
Felt the same energy that I did.
If you want to Google that location, it's called ustu.
It's sort of in the same field.
Very, very interesting places, super spiritual place.
Like a practicing Buddhist to to go there and and maybe feel something.
I'm currently living in in Barcelona, Spain.
And you know, I don't think I've ever heard anyone here speak about ghosts.
But I have heard plenty of people speak about spirituality or about an energy of a place.
And monster that is this big, crazy mountain chain.
I don't know the 1300s, but it's super old and I've been there quite a few times.
And it's sort of a Catholic pilgrimage site.
A lot of people like myself, who are more spirituality based, go there.
And I can tell you, if you ever visit these mountains, you will feel something.
There's there's an energy there, it it's, it's powerful and it's strong.
And I think when I was around 9:00 or 10:00, I was out at night with two cousins and my aunt.
And we all saw UFO like in the city.
It was the IT was kind of odd and.
We all acknowledged that we saw it.
It was sort of boomerang shaped and.
You know, like a whitish yellow.
And I couldn't tell you how high in the sky it was.
And then it disappeared and then it was just it was gone.
So I'm a believer in UFOs and not not only because I saw one.
If you do the math, there has to be other intelligent life.
Whereas here we almost like commercialize.
They're more open to these ideas now.
Right now they're being more spiritualistic, and so I do think that I.
A change kind of coming in, but we are very much commercial, very focused on like being scared.
So it was definitely interesting to hear that take.
But I've like, I've looked into it and stuff like that and you just get that feeling, you know.
Well, and I feel like even the way they.
Tell their history and, like, memorialize their historic.
Buildings and castles and all that.
There's, like, there's just a lot of respect.
Surrounding all of that and very intentional around how they preserve them for you know.
