SPEAKER_00 0:29

Hi, everybody. Welcome back to episode four. Nope. Five? Six. No, not six. No, we're not there yet. Okay. Not unless we've broken up some. I think we've only done this. It's four. It's gotta be four. Yeah. We've aired three. We've aired three. Two. I haven't even put the third one out yet.

SPEAKER_01 0:50

That's true.

SPEAKER_00 0:51

We haven't talked, yeah, we need to talk about that too at some point.

SPEAKER_01 0:54

Girl, we are getting behind. But that's okay.

SPEAKER_00 0:56

Here we are.

SPEAKER_01 0:57

But I'm kind of excited. This means there's stories that we told that I've already forgotten and I want to hear them again.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

You're gonna be there one download a day. I'm gonna be the one download. That's okay. So, okay, well then welcome to episode four. We've established. Um I'm Stephanie. I'm Annie. And we are two neighbors that do drinking a lot during the day. We do day drinking. We just tell each other stories about things that interest us. Um so today I am doing my story. And I have a drink with it from uh Boomer. It is uh so we have this running joke at at home about all the bayous here in town, and Boomer being a guy from Florida, you know, the whole rain gauge thing was a fun thing to him because he just was like, why do you have rain gauges? And understanding how the bayous actually like flow and work with within itself. Um so he always asked if there was ever a bayou called house. H-O-W-E apostrophe s. Okay. Because he likes saying how's bayou. I I married him, I know. Um, so this drink, because my story is mostly local, um, from your story from San Antonio with this uh ghost tracks, made me start thinking about hey, we've got something similar like that here in town as well. So Boomer decided to make a house by you water.

unknown 2:24

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:24

Did he ever find a house by you? There is no house by you. I hate to see him disappointed. I know. Well, but then that that means the drink is one of a kind. And I've had it. He made it as a test run. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 2:39

But this is Boomer's own private concoction. This is an original boomer. Okay, alright, I'm excited.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

Mm-hmm. This is a spiced bayou rum out of Louisiana, Paula's orange liqueur, which is a Texas spirit, according to this, and uh parrot bag coconut rum. Okay, I don't know what the mixer is. I think it's pineapple. Pineapple and maybe orange juice. It already sounds delicious. It's it'll fuck you up. Of course, boomer made it. I mean, I like I said, he made it as a test run, and I was like, wow, this is really, really good. And it was a big picture of it. So I had one, and I was like, this is good. So I poured myself a second one and drank that and was like, oh man, this is really good. I'm not ready to go to bed yet. So I poured myself a third. And I woke up the next morning and Boomer was like, How are you feeling? And I'm like, hi, fucked up.

SPEAKER_01 3:37

But you didn't get so drunk that you started drinking from Boomer's cup, like I do. No, like you do.

SPEAKER_00 3:43

It was a good story, though, and then you hurt yourself. Okay. Are you excited, Annie? I am. So do you know any like local history, ghosty stuff in Houston since you've been here?

SPEAKER_01 3:56

Or I have one story that I'm gonna tell on our next podcast, and it is local Houston Ghosty.

SPEAKER_00 4:02

Is it Houston Ghosty?

SPEAKER_01 4:04

It is well, no, that's not true. It's Galveston Ghost.

SPEAKER_00 4:05

Galveston Ghosty, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

But I I consider the two the same.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

Same.

SPEAKER_01 4:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

That's one place that we have yet to go, is Galveston. Really? Yeah. I just with Boomer being from Florida. I don't want to take him and be like, and look, here look at how gross this looks. Okay. Uh, here it is. This is a lot pinker than I remember when he first made it.

SPEAKER_01 4:32

Well, okay. That's oxblood red.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Oxblood? That's oxblood red. That's very specific. And I'm really worried about how many oxes you have killed in your life. Well, do I need to be worried? Um, yeah, the first time he made this, it was more orangey color.

SPEAKER_01 4:50

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 4:50

Um, at one point I thought it was gonna be more like gray, tan, brown, and I was like, oh, that's perfect because bayous here in Houston are tan, gray, brown. You want to smell it?

SPEAKER_01 5:06

You are really selling Houston, aren't you? What do you well it's a great Oh my god, that smells that's good.

SPEAKER_00 5:13

I can't wait. It's a great city to live in, and if you uh, you know, like nope, if you'd like that, nope, you can't do that either.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

So do we know the proportions of everything? Oh, absolutely not. Anyone following along, just mix some pineapple. What hole was it again?

SPEAKER_00 5:30

Uh pineapple juice, orange juice, spiced rum, orange liqueur, and parrot bag coconut rum.

SPEAKER_01 5:38

And I can tell you right now it's gonna be a lot of the rum, so go heavy on that.

SPEAKER_00 5:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:43

Oh, I maybe should have shook it up.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Oh my god. That's that's really aggressive. Oh my taste buds.

SPEAKER_01 5:55

Yep, lots of rum.

SPEAKER_00 5:57

Yeah. Oh mega.

SPEAKER_01 6:01

But is that the drink or is I mean, because we're talking about boomer making a drink.

SPEAKER_00 6:05

What do you mean is that the drink?

SPEAKER_01 6:07

Is it supposed to be aggressive?

SPEAKER_00 6:08

Probably. I would think so. It's boomer. Yes. I don't think boomer has any other way of being when it comes to drinks. Boomer's getting such a reputation through us. It's all or nothing with them. I mean, it's it's good. I wonder, do we need to do straws? No.

unknown 6:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:26

Should I have shaken the bottle?

SPEAKER_01 6:28

Maybe. It's a little late for that though, so cheers. Cheers. It's not slowing me down at all.

SPEAKER_00 6:37

No, this is a very fruity drink. Yeah. It's the um well, last time we had this, the coconut was real prevalent in it. And um, I don't know if you've ever had a painkiller. A drink called a painkiller or an okay. A drink. Well, I know you had a painkiller.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

Yeah, I will I I specialize. I hand them out like candies to the neighbors.

SPEAKER_00 6:57

Don't say that. Oh, I mean Yeah, so when you come for Halloween, make sure you stop by Eric and Annie's house and pick up your painkillers. Uh no, it's a drink from Pusser, which is a, I think it's British navy. It's another rum, it's very good. Um, but they have this drink they've made that is Pussers with like coconut, uh, crumb to coconut. And the reason why they call it a painkiller is because the original place to get it was a place at uh called the Sand Dollar Bar, and the only way to get there was to swim.

SPEAKER_01 7:35

So Interesting.

SPEAKER_00 7:36

So when you So how did you get back when you were drunk? That's what I call it a painkiller.

unknown 7:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 7:42

Take away all that pain and yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

And just hope it's a big thing.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

Is it a sand dollar ball or like soggy dollar bar? It's something like maybe maybe soggy dollar because you're also. Now there is a boat that'll take you most of the way.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

But I guess since it's a little tiny bar that you have to swim up to it. Okay. Okay. All right. It was just getting a little less scary. So when uh Boomer, when him and I first met, he was a big puzz he still is a big puster drinker, but um he has like this gigantic mug. I'm probab pretty sure you've maybe have seen it. That fra probably is it the one that I stole his drink from? I seen that one. Was it the white one that's 10? Big big t yep, yep. That's the one um that he drank from so much that in man, 2020, I guess it was, there was a hole. Cause it it just because it's 10, I guess after a while the acid from the liquor just ate it away. So he's like, why is it springing a link? And I was like, spring it out. So I bought him another one. Now he's got that one. Very nice. Um I'm a nice person. I don't know what what they've told you.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

And he's a good drinker. So what is our story today? I gotta burp. Uh-oh. Do it. We can edit it. I lied, we're not editing it.

SPEAKER_00 9:02

Alright. So, as I said, um talking about your story last time with the um The ghost tracks. The ghost tracks, and then all of a sudden the last the story with San Antonio is it got me thinking just because like I said, I growing up here in Houston, knowing that there are very, very haunted locations in and around Houston. And um, what really kind of broke my heart was hearing that the San Antonio thing, as much as I know about it, um, didn't actually happen. And it was one of those like that was a shock. No, and it's it's really good because I I love the fact that it's like I'm still gonna tell the story if anybody asks, hey, this is how what I know about it, but knowing that like it only happened in Utah and like the names of the streets were like the kids, I was just dumbfounded by the whole thing.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

But I feel like that makes it hard. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_00 9:57

Oh my goodness. Okay, so um I decided today that telling the stories of the things that I've read, so it's just gonna be kind of like a hit list of things. I'll go into some parts of the story where the history is behind it, but for the most part, it's all just you know, stuff that you read on the internet and and whatnot. So, I'm just gonna read what I've written. This was a long time ago. Like you had to look over my notes and was like, oh shit, can I say these things out loud again? Um, alright. So, since your last story was about the haunted ghost railroad tracks of San Antonio, it got me thinking, oh, by the way, are you ready? Great. I've been ready. Okay. I've been drinking, I've been ready. I'm like, let's just what's the story? Do you want to pull this thing out so you can refill if you need to?

SPEAKER_01 10:43

Um, yes. Although you did warn me about what happened to you. So yes, but I'll try to behave. Well, we also Yes.

SPEAKER_00 10:53

And you know, did I say yes? You said yes.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

And yet it's still in the bag.

SPEAKER_00 11:00

Oh shit. Yes, by that. I'm sorry. Always the alcohol must spitting it out on the table. I got it. It has alcohol abuse. No abuse over here. Oh my goodness gracious. Okay. So, um after your conversation about the San Antonio ghost tracks, uh, it got me thinking about our own little corner of the world here in Houston. A quick search of the internet. You can read about all sorts of different things around uh around Houston and some of the surrounding areas. So I decided to cover a few of them. Multiple stories in one episode.

SPEAKER_01 11:43

Ooh, okay. All right.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

Bonuses. Let's get into it. Alright, so this is the uh Patterson Road in northwest Houston. I know I said and around downtown, but this is my old hot stomping grounds. So uh Patterson Road is a stretch of road that connects North Eldridge Road and Highway 6, and the road sits in between Clay Road and I-10. So if you were to draw a box using these four roads, Patterson cuts right through the middle of it. This is uh right outside the beltway, going towards Katy.

SPEAKER_01 12:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 12:17

Okay. Growing up in the neighborhood close to this road, I was always told of the legends of the Civil War soldiers that would visit you on a dark night. Like your story, the San Antonio Railroad Crossing, Houston has their own version of a story where ghostly hands come out of nowhere and push your car along. The story goes that after dark, you pull up to the bridge on Patterson, roll up your windows and turn off your car, and moments later you'll start hearing tapping and knocking sounds on the side of your car. Some people have said that their cars have been pushed across the bridge, and when they get out to look, they see who pushed them, and child handprints are all over the back of the car.

SPEAKER_01 12:52

Child handprints.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

Okay. Yeah. All right. Um, now I'm sure you are wondering about the Civil War soldiers like me. The jury is still out about the soldiers why the soldiers exist in here in the first place. Some speculate that even after the war ended, there were possible skirmishes still happening around the country. But what I do know is that the area was built in 1850s by German immigrants, built a homestead along the local creeks, not that way. The big 1900 storm of Galveston hurricane destroyed the Bear Creek community in the town of Attics. It reached that far. It yeah. Okay. It it definitely fucked up some shit. I think this is before they had categories, too. Okay. I I believe. I um they rebuilt after the hurricane, and then 1915 comes around with another hurricane. They quickly rebuilt, and the town prospered into the 1940s. During this time, the Attics Dam Reservoir was built to protect Houston from floods, and by 1948, 40 homes and buildings had been moved or destroyed by the Federal Flood Control Project, uprooting original homesteaders and residents. So maybe the bridge is haunted because the area has seen some real shit. In the same vicinity, there is the Hillendall Egling Cemetery, and this cemetery has earned the nickname Blue Light Cemetery. I've come across a few blue light cemeteries in my search. The Tetter Cemetery in Spring and the Glenwood Cemetery in Houston. Glenwood is the big one on Washington, I think. That like Howard Hughes is buried, and a bunch of the founders, like Allen brothers, I think, are buried out that way too.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

But I'm still confused what this has to do with the soldiers or worse, children.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

That's the thing. There's no, it's just all lore. Like nobody has any actual uh evidence to show that they were Civil War soldiers. So that's why they're like, maybe there was something that happened. What if they went even farther back than the Civil War? But why are they dressed like Civil War soldiers? Oh, that people are like You know, I I like I know that a bunch of the German families got uprooted because of the flood project. And fun fact, I think when Harvey happened in 2017, the Attics Dam is what is the dam they released to put pressure take pressure off of what was going on, and that's when a bunch of other homes that had never flooded before flooded in that area. So I mean the dam ultimately worked at the cost of uprooting a whole entire lineage. So uh yeah, they'd never really explain why they've seen war soldiers, maybe the kids' hands. I really feel like when people say, Oh, we've seen hand prints on the back of the car, does that person have kids? Right. You know, it's I guess like with the conversation that we had with your San Antonio ghost tracks with like the little baby hands on the car, with the powder or whatever it was like, oil on your hands stays longer than what you expect, even through a couple of car washes. Right. So it could be that. Like there was no specific, and by the way, I have a two-year-old, you know, who plays in the driveway and puts their hands on the car because the car is the safe place as a hide-and-seek tour.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

Or even even kids just touching your car as they walk by in the parking lot.

SPEAKER_00 16:04

Yeah, anything. So, like I said, I know that this family w the families were uprooted because of this uh flood mitigation that they were wanting to do. There was some other information too about like how I think Addicts was the guy was the Attics was like their postman? Because in the in the place where the houses were, it was like a whole little town where they had like a post office and a um grocery store and stuff like that, and I think the the guy's name, his last name was Addicts, and that's why it's they named it after him.

SPEAKER_01 16:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:40

And there's another part of my story too where they name it after somebody to appease a group of people who are going to be upset about something. Okay. So um, but anyway, you can still go to Patterson Road, still exist and experience it for yourself. So the phenomenon is still happening to this day. I I believe so. Okay. I believe so. Um, I know that there were a couple of stories where like police officers who were like chasing off people, because I guess you know, people are gonna find like a dark, spooky corner of the world and either not do something correct or make out or whatever they gotta do. So I think the cops were like trying to patrol the area to keep people away from that happening. Well, to make sure traffic's still moving, because I mean you're all like I want to test it and then it's it's in like a it's in a weird spot where if you go to it, it's like in the middle of a um golf course. Okay. Now, Bear Creek uh golf course is it's a part of it. And to get there, it's it's spooky spooky, but I guess yeah, to keep traffic going. But there's a couple of reports of the cops being like, I'm never going back there because there was some weird shit that happened. Lights floating off in the distance that didn't belong to anything, because it literally is in the middle of a golf course that doesn't have lights, and there's a bunch of trees and a bunch of other stuff. I don't know if I ever went when I was younger, and if we did, it was like we were going to do something else and not necessarily go to experience what potentially could have happened. But I when I lived out there, I would use to ride my bike all the way through that area, and it never occurred to me that hey, this is this is the place. Because when you're growing up, had you heard the story when you were young? I did hear the story when I was younger, but we just we never went, and if like I said, if we did, it was going to go like to the softball fields because I played softball or go to the soccer fields to play soccer. So when I was reading, when you were telling me your story, and I was like, oh shit, that's right, there's a whole thing here, and then I was like, and I lived out there for as an adult for like four years, and never thought to now you've had an entire month drive your little fanny down to that golf course and give it a test.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

It's so far, though. That's my problem.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

No, all of Houston is so far. We've had that conversation. Houston's 40 minutes from Houston. An hour from Houston. It's just it sucks. And I know you've got a friend that lives out in Katy, and like you love to go see her, but you just know it's such a trap. We see each other once a year. Yeah, it's uh I mean, my my tattoo artist before I needed to find somebody else, um, used to be in like the Montrose area, and that was easy. But now he's like in um Rosenberg. And just from where we're at, down to him, like an hour and a half, and I'm like, I I'm not gonna do that. Not doing it. Not finding somebody new. Speaking of which, did you find somebody who could do the watercolor tattoo you're looking for? I got um one of my friends uh has a guy that he has used, and she's got a guy, guys. She's got a guy. A few guys. He has like a it's a unicorn. I think that's on his arm, and it says majestic as fuck. Or no, it's on his leg. There's a tattoo on him.

SPEAKER_01 20:00

I was like, Oh, yes, I was like, it's on his what? Oh no, not.

SPEAKER_00 20:04

Just the way your finger pointed at you said that. Not his wee wee, it's on his arm or his leg. That would make sense. Majestic as fuck. I mean, I'm not gonna kink shame him if he does have a tattoo on his thing. You know the whole joke of like, here's what the tattoo says, and then when the person is excited, it's like a whole sentence of stuff. Oh my goodness. Stretch it out like a gummy worm. Anyway, okay, so that's the ghost. Maybe ghost, maybe of Civil War soldiers, maybe of the German immigrants, who knows. Maybe children. Maybe children, um, of Patterson Road. Um, go check it out if you dare. There may be a cop patrolling, so don't be spooked by the cop. Just don't do anything stupid, is what I have to say. Alright, so next we move into downtown Houston. And there's a lot of Houston downtown stuff because I imagine there's gotta be. I mean, it was the central all-be-all of why Houston got its start down by the by by the bayous and and whatnot, is you know, they had the produce row and all this other stuff where people could just bring their ships down and unpack, and it's how we became a city, which is weird because you know, we're considered the space city because of the space stuff in the 1960s, but you know, it could be we're also known as the Bayou. I don't know. We have a bunch of nicknames. Houston's bipolar, doesn't know what it wants. Alright, so now of course there are going to be a few creepy spots around this area because so much has happened downtown. And I didn't know about this story and the fact that you can still see it from a bike path, uh, or while you're kayaking on Buffalo Bayou. This story, uh this thing, is about the um Donalin family crypt, which still exists. Okay. And you can see it. I went on. Crips tend to last a while. Um, and it it goes to say that like. A lot of people were like, hey, yeah, the family is still in there and blah blah blah blah blah. So they're it's a haunted crypt now and whatnot.

SPEAKER_01 22:08

Obviously Was there any suspicion that maybe the family had gotten up and walked away? Or like they when they say the family's still in there, what was the other option?

SPEAKER_00 22:20

Moving them.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

You don't move somebody out of their crypt.

SPEAKER_00 22:25

Well, they did. Okay, go on. They they did. Tell the story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, because that I mean that's that's the story, is like the family's still in there, and so they haunt this area, and then it's like uh come to find out no, they ended up getting moved. Um pay for a crypt, you expect to stay in the crypt. Right. Well, and that was the thing, is like the guy, um, the Donald family, the gentleman owned that part of downtown. And so when he died, and they made the crypt for him, and then obviously his son and his wife followed suit in their death, they put him in the crypt, and it was like this is our way of paying homage to him because he is one of the founders of this city. This was his property, this is the bet this is what we can do for him to to make make amends, I guess, for the family. Um, so uh at the corner of Franklin and Louisiana, under the Franklin Street Bridge, is a burial crypt that has been there for more than 175 years. Timothy Donalin, I think I'm saying his name correct, um, who was one of the early settlers of Houston, died in 1849, was buried in the vault. His wife Emily was buried there in 1867, and their son Henry died a few months before his mother when he picked up an explosive cannonball left over from the Civil War.

SPEAKER_01 23:40

Wow. Was it not expected to ever go off or I don't think he expected it to go off. Well, nobody does when they go to pick it up. Well, did everybody else agree? We don't touch stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 23:52

We don't touch stuff like that. Don't touch stuff you don't think is is a good idea. And I think they said like the mom died after the son because of a broken heart. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

Yeah. I mean it's amazing how true that can be. Yeah. Okay, so what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna take this drink, this bayou water, uh-huh. Shake it up. And I'm gonna tell you if there's any difference.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

My stomach has made that sound before.

SPEAKER_01 24:15

Thoroughly mixed or straight up.

SPEAKER_00 24:18

You need some more ice or nah. Meh. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 24:21

No need to dilute the drink. Alright, give me a sec.

unknown 24:25

One. Two. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 24:27

Still aggressive. Still aggressive. Still aggressive. Alright, so it's an aggressive drink.

SPEAKER_00 24:32

It's an aggressive drink.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

I I'm surprised I don't taste as much coconut. I taste the coconut. Coconut and pineapple, I taste very strong. Yes. Very strongly. Okay. What do you taste? Pineapple? Yeah, okay. Yeah. It's in there with a coconut. Pineapple.

SPEAKER_00 24:55

But the other the drink that you made the first time through was very coconut heavy. And I was like, what does this remind me of? And then I realized that it's like a pinnacolada. Well, pina colada or a painkiller. Yeah. Because it's sort of the same idea. But maybe my brain wants me to only taste the pineapple. Because drugs. I don't know. I don't know what I'm saying. I is.

SPEAKER_01 25:19

Today we're kind of sleepy, aren't we? Like today our mood is kind of subdued a little bit. It's it's so weird. I've noticed that about us today.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

Yeah, I well, and like I had to sign for this package because it is alcohol based. And um I I got up and then texted Boomer when he went to work and I was like, Do you think I have time to sleep like another hour? And he was like Always a good question. He was like, Well, yeah, and if we have to go to FedEx and pick up this bottle of alcohol, we'll just do that. Cause, you know, he bought it's a s I think it's a sim no, it's not a simple syrup. It's something that is a proper mixer or a proper thing that goes into another drink that he was going to make, but then he kind of got ahead of himself and was like, uh, it's not necessarily the stories that we're going for right now. I'll stick with this instead because I can get these locally. So I laid back down and like set my alarm and slept for like an hour and ten minutes, had a bizarre fucking dream about a pool, and it was crazy. Um You have a pool, so is it that bizarre that you dreamt about a pool? But it was like the way the pool was made. It was like PvC pressed um plastic, but there were speakers in the pool itself, and there was a little tiny screen that you could go over to it and say, like, play my last um Spotify playlist, and then the speaker is like all played while you were doing that, and it also had a item in there where it told you who was swimming in the pool because you put in your weight and the displacement of water that you create when you get into a pool would tell you on that screen. Does it tell you when somebody peed in the pool recently? You you're gonna die. I mean, I'm loving this pool so far. I'm I'm there for it. Yeah, I mean I was just and I only like the hour and ten minutes that I was asleep, I had this whole ash dream about it. You just invented a new pool. Well, now someone's gonna steal it because we just we just told everybody about it. Alright, so mom died a few months later after her son picked up the uh cannonball left over. Um so the legend states that the city just poured cement, thus burying the bodies even further into the ground. Uh the crypt has surprisingly survived the initial uh Franklin I'm just trying to picture it.

SPEAKER_01 27:40

So they put the bodies in the crypt.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

They put the bodies in the crypt.

SPEAKER_01 27:43

And then they just covered them with cement.

SPEAKER_00 27:45

No.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

What was the cement used for?

SPEAKER_00 27:52

That's the legend.

unknown 27:54

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 27:54

That says that this the bodies were covered in cement.

SPEAKER_01 27:57

But is that so am I picturing the legend correctly?

SPEAKER_00 27:59

Yes. Yes, so they just sealed them in on on the bridge when they were doing bridge repairs or upgrading the bridge. They just kept pouring concrete over concrete over concrete. So they buried the whole crypt. In the legend. In the legend. In the legend, yes. Hmm. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Um, but uh, so the crypt has surprisingly survived the initial Franklin Street wooden bridge constructed in 1885, and the later iron constructed Franklin Street Bridge finished in 1907, and then later concrete constructed bridge in 1924. So that's what I'm saying, is like every time the Franklin Street Bridge was going through a remake, um, they just thought the families were getting further and further buried in in the crypt. Is the legend.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

Is the legend, but I mean, how can you have a legend that you can easily disprove just by going to visit it? I mean, it's right there.

SPEAKER_00 28:50

Because you can still see the crypt from the hiking trail or the running trail on along Buffalo Bayou. Um and I don't think that people knew what it was when they first saw it. I think they thought it might have just been like an access road or an access port to get to underneath the bridge.

SPEAKER_01 29:10

When come to find out, like I guess historians dug up this whole thing about nope, this is Right, but you tell me the legend, and I'm all like, hmm, let me go see this buried thing, and I go and see it, and there's the crypt. I'm like, okay, so legend's wrong.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

Mm-hmm. Yeah?

SPEAKER_01 29:24

Okay, I'm just saying it's a it's weird because I don't know how the legend survived.

SPEAKER_00 29:30

Oh. The internet didn't exist back then?

SPEAKER_01 29:34

People just don't want to go visit because Houston's an hour away from Houston.

SPEAKER_00 29:38

The thing is, you couldn't at that time couldn't see it. Because the running trails are fairly new to Houston by the bayou. Okay. Because before you couldn't go down there. The only way you could go see it is by being in the water. Oh. And no one's doing that, you know. Okay. Um, but when the running trails were being created, uh, that was when I think people were like, Oh, what is this?

SPEAKER_01 30:04

Okay, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 30:05

And I think that's when they're like, oh, I I guess word of mouth made the was like, oh, that's this family crypt. The family's still in there because they've just buried buried them and have poured concrete on top of them and didn't do anything about it. They're still in there, which is the legend. But that's not the case. Um the remains of all the uh no, no, no. The remains of all the family members were moved to Glenwood Cemetery in 1901. Um, one of the other blue light cemeteries, the one in Washington. Um, from the photos, it's just a super creepy hole in the upper banks of the bridge, but the city has preserved it and you can visit the crypt from a distance.

SPEAKER_01 30:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 30:42

Yeah. And it's weird because they've preserved like the brick that goes up to it. I think there have been people that have tried to climb and just get closer to it, but I think it's so steep now, and it's just it's not a good idea to to go do it. But it's still there. You can go see it. And but the family's not in there. The family's not in there. They became zombies and moved down the street to the other cemetery. Alright, so uh next up, just a short 2.2 mile or four-minute walk, uh, going east, we come to the next portion of our haunted Houston tour. The old spaghetti warehouse at 901 Commerce Street. I will say that in my earlier days of wanting to become a ghost hunter, I brought my voice recorder to this location. We had dinner in the restaurant, and I remember all of us on edge because we had been told for years this place was haunted. Food was okay, but the energy was crazy, and that could have been because we were feeding off of each other's fear. Trying to scare one another and such, the only weird thing I caught on my voice recorder was a loud, sounded like boat horn blaring out of nowhere. Um now this location is right on the bayou, but a boat that size, oh man, I am all lost in my face.

SPEAKER_01 31:58

But you'd remember, you'd remember having actually heard it while you were present. Yeah, and I think it's like, no, there was no boat horn, but there is one on the recording. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 32:06

It was it was like a big fog, like noise. And it was super late. I think it was I think the I think Spaghetti Warehouse started closed for the evening. And we were just kind of hanging out, taking photos of like the windows and stuff. Um, there was some weird like haziness on one of the windows, but I attribute that to you know, it's we're by the water. Right, there's humidity. Yeah, it could have just been anything, and that could be uh you we zoomed in and was like, oh look, there's a face in it, but then that just becomes one of those like, are we just seeing this because we want to see this to have the experience? Um but yeah, it was it was really weird listening to it. I also tried to not chalk it up to my voice recorder having like malfunctioned at that point.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

Into a boathorn.

SPEAKER_00 32:52

Sure. Actually it was a foghorn sounding. I was just trying to yeah, it was a fog like a foghorn sounding um thing. I guess I just I'm always trying to be the healthy skeptic and just not jump to paranormal. I want to make sure that like I'm doing everything possible to like make it make sense because I don't want to scare myself. And that could have been one of those things where it's like, I'm not going back, but that was the only thing that happened that night to for me and my friends. So, because uh so now this location, right on the bayou, but a boat that size from the recording was nowhere in sight. I chalked it up to some sort of problem with the recorder at that point and just moved on. My friend sent me a photo from that night, and there was some weird mist in the upper corner of the photo. Again, chalked it up to environmental things. The story of the location starts around 1912. It was the site of a fruit and vegetable warehouse and later became a pharmaceutical company before becoming a restaurant. Have you ever been? Did you ever hear about Spaghetti Warehouse?

SPEAKER_01 33:52

No.

SPEAKER_00 33:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:54

In fact, I didn't know we ever had one here in Houston. I've heard of them in California.

SPEAKER_00 33:57

Oh, no shit. Yeah. Not here in Houston. Yeah. Okay. It was there for it was there for a while. So as the story goes, the f this is how this is what I knew as a story from Spaghetti Warehouse.

SPEAKER_01 34:09

I know we're talking about like things that you hear in the recording, and all of a sudden I hear Jovi bouncing around, and I'm like, Did you hear that? Did you hear that?

SPEAKER_00 34:17

It's the haunted ghost dog. I think she farted. I would not put it beyond her. I just think it's so cute. Does it smell like cabbage? I didn't smell it, I just heard it. I think I heard it. Okay. It could it could be.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

I never hear her. I smell her. Like the other night, it was every five minutes. She was unloading, and I'm like, girlfriend, girlfriend, go find another place to sit. Not here on my lap or in my face, please.

SPEAKER_00 34:42

Um, all right, so as the story goes, the pharmacist lived in the building and late one night, called the elevator to him. The doors opened, and the pharmacist wasn't paying attention and fell to his death in the elevator shaft.

SPEAKER_01 34:54

This sounds very familiar.

SPEAKER_00 34:57

Uh the wife of the pharmacist was so upset she died less than a year later, and they were said to haunt the restaurant. So the restaurant owners placed a bunch of antiques and glamorous furnishings from around the world. The second floor had a full-size Houston Avenue trolley car in the dining area. And I think um that you could have asked to be sat in the trolley car to eat your dinner. I think that's a good thing. I think that was a thing that you could do.

SPEAKER_01 35:24

Special, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:24

Um, and the staircase leading up to the second floor was said to bring its own spirits, but some people think that it was all made up to promote the restaurant. Um, I did find reports that people had experiences they could not discount, and unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey in 2017 flooded the building, and Spaghetti Warehouse was forced to close up shop.

SPEAKER_01 35:44

Okay, so but when before it closed up shop, was the elevator still in use?

SPEAKER_00 35:50

I think so. I think they used it for like handicap. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 35:58

Right.

SPEAKER_00 35:59

Um, and I think maybe to run food.

SPEAKER_01 36:01

But they I mean they didn't limit you, like if you really wanted to use it. Could you take your tape recorder in there and just like see?

SPEAKER_00 36:08

Probably, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:09

Because that would have been ideal.

SPEAKER_00 36:10

Yeah. I don't know if there was ever any like ghost people that came through and like investigated it. Um, because I there's so much other stuff in Houston that um this one building that's all hearsay of like, oh yeah, yes, it used to be a produce place, again, that's that's close to where produce row, or that is where produce row is or was back in the or uh early 1900s. But I think that the whole pharmacist wife thing was just a made-up story, another legend.

SPEAKER_01 36:45

That means that the pharmacist himself falling down the shaft would also be part of the legend. Yes. That's disappointing. Yeah. Because I was wondering where the fog horn would come in play with his story.

SPEAKER_00 36:57

Like Ah, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:00

Because I believe in the foghorn. The fog horn happened. Yeah. That was on the recording, and it was not in real life. So something there happened. Yeah. But it had nothing to do with the pharmacist falling down a hole.

SPEAKER_00 37:10

No. No. They chalk up the fact that Spaghetti Warehouse was haunted because of the pharmacist falling down the elevator shaft. But if that story isn't true, then and people are having these actual experiences, where are they getting their experiences from? So, and that's why I think like a big part of it might have been the stuff that they brought in, because there was antique scalore. I know that the staircase that they brought in was from England and had its own history. The trolley car could have also been part of it. True.

SPEAKER_01 37:42

No, I think you're right. I mean, it's amazing how an object can be just as haunted as an entire environment. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:48

So I know they auctioned off uh the furniture and it became a sports bar in 2019. And recently the sports bar is gone and now it's a dance club. I would be interested to see if the new owners or any of the patrons feel the eyes of the dead pharmacist or his wife on them while using the restroom, or maybe the ghosts are just getting down on the dance floor with a spirit in their hand. Nice. They deserve that much. They deserve that much. I know that like the wait staff or the spaghetti warehouse like had their shoes untied and taps on the shoulder and stuff like that. But um it was a place called McIntyre's after that. I never went. I always wanted to go back in and just ask, but and now since it's a dance club, I think it's like four different dance clubs, four different music styles. That's a lot of turnover for that poor building. Maybe it's haunted. Maybe it's not.

SPEAKER_01 38:35

But we haven't heard any more haunting stories. And if we haven't, that actually leads a lot of credence to your idea that it was an object they brought in rather than the building itself. Yeah, so when they took all those objects out, when they sold them off, when they dissolved the business.

SPEAKER_00 38:49

It would be interesting to know like anybody who bought the stuff if they're having experiences. That would be interesting.

SPEAKER_01 38:55

I mean, I almost lean more to the towards that theory.

SPEAKER_00 38:58

Yeah, that it's the it's the stuff and not the not the place.

SPEAKER_01 39:01

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:03

Yeah, okay. So the last stop on this haunted tour is the old Jefferson Davis Hospital. Uh tale is old a time, people buried in a cemetery, and when the land isn't maintained, someone decides to put a hospital on the land. Uh before it was a hospital, the municipal cemetery began in the 1840s to replace the old city cemetery, one of the oldest sites in Houston, and was active until the 1880s. Over the next few decades, thousands of people were buried here, and it became the final resting place for 6,000 Confederate soldiers, former slaves, and city officials. Also, among the graves were thousands of victims of the yellow fever and cholera epidemics. Even though the cemetery was discontinued in the eighteenths in 1879, many family burials went into the 1890s. Fast forward to early 1920s, City Council began the construction of the hospital. People had some big opinions about putting a whole ass hospital on top of the dead, and I tend to agree with that. It seems like a terrible idea. Um, but yet they continued. The deal was made that they would not relocate the dead, but instead of a basement, the basement, in air quotes, because y'all can't see us, uh, was the first floor, and the net hospital would be named after the president of the Confederate States due to the large amount of Confederate soldiers buried there. Okay. And that's one of those we're gonna make amends. We'll just name it Jeff Davis. And fuck your family. Right, right? As long as we name it after you, you're good. Also, fun fact my I don't know how many greats, maybe seven or eight greats, uncle is Jefferson Davis. In my hand Jefferson Davis. In my lane in my lineage, yeah. Look at you all hoiding too. No, I do not. I will take all day long that my great-grandfather great grandfather, great-great grandfather, was the guy who made the Houston flag. I will take that all day long.

SPEAKER_01 41:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 41:02

This boy, you've got a lot of connection down here.

SPEAKER_01 41:05

But it's well. All my connection is in Germany, and it's like seven generations back, and nobody believes the story at all. So I don't even know if I've got that much.

SPEAKER_00 41:16

So, Confederate soldiers buried, concrete over all the dead, named the hospital after President of the Confederate States. Um, I do have to say that the hospital was constructed uh to centralize health care for the city's poorest residents, and that's honorable. The hospital was in operation from 1924 to 1938, and after that it became multiple things up into the 1980s. Medical record storage facility, probation office, and a rehab home, and a venereal disease clinic, home for juvenile delinquents, and a drug treatment center. Then the building sat vacant from 1989 to 2003. And I remember when I was a teenager, we would try to go. You could see it. Um, you could still see the smokestacks before they did cremations and stuff like that. Ooh. Yeah. Some of my friends that I work with were born in the hospital. So it was always interesting to go and like, we would always want to go and like ghost hunt. But kind of like the Patterson Road, they always had people posted up. They ended up, I think, putting around a fence with the um razor blade wire on it because people were just going in there and raking in and tagging some stuff. So they shut that shit down pretty quickly. Building rehabilitation began in 2003 to convert the once hospital into artist lofts, which is still standing today as the Elder Street Artist Lofs. Strange things have started to happen when the hospital was built. Patients, visitors, and staff members saw creepy figures down the hallway. Sounds of screaming and muttering were also heard. It's even been said that police dogs refused to go into what was the nurses' quarters. Sightings of soldiers and rooms and basement and basement have occurred. I remember hearing how haunted this place was growing up, and I wanted to visit while it sat unoccupied. But when crime became a huge problem, all you could do was drive past it after all the barbed wire was put up. Uh, I wonder if this building has turned skeptics into believers, even though it is a privately owned building now. If they ever open to the public, would you want to investigate there?

SPEAKER_01 43:19

I when you said the dogs were weary of it, I was sold.

SPEAKER_00 43:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:24

I was. It reminds me again that Fennec is still pretty sure the stairwell is possessed. Yep. Does she sit at the bottom look up?

SPEAKER_00 43:31

Or does she bark?

SPEAKER_01 43:33

Yes. And it's not even that far up. It's like about five steps up the stairs, is where she is honing in. There's a portal there.

SPEAKER_00 43:42

Is it do you see her eyes moving or is she just staring? She's like she's staring deadpan right at that space. She's not tracking anything. That might be. No. Do you hear footsteps or anything on the stairs at night? Or at any point of it, I'm not.

SPEAKER_01 43:56

Explain the drugs I'm on. Trozodone, baclafin. Yes. I sleep. It's it's a muscle relaxer. Oh, okay, okay. I sleep like a baby.

SPEAKER_00 44:09

Oh, so you don't hear I hear nothing.

SPEAKER_01 44:11

Okay. No.

SPEAKER_00 44:13

I still think we And this is with a healthy dose of wine. I hear nothing. I still think we should probably try the Estes method here in your house.

SPEAKER_01 44:23

What is that?

SPEAKER_00 44:24

Um it's one of us puts on headphones like we have on. Okay. And um it within the headphones themselves plays like white noise static uh sweeping noise. And the people have a blindfold on typically, so you can't really see what's going on. And as you or I are in this gear, the person that's in the room with you asks questions. And through the static of the headphones, voices typically come through, and the person just says the things out loud. Oh my god, would you do that with me? Yeah. Absolutely. Let's yeah, we'll have to look into it and see like what all it takes. We have most of the the equipment, I Right. But yeah, it's it's crazy to see, and the reason why it's called the Estes method is because it was used in um Estus, Colorado at the hotel that Stephen King The Shining Hotel, yeah. Um what the hell is a hotel? It doesn't matter. That's where they started to use the method. It's Estus Park, right? It's gonna be something different. Estus Park. It's the Stanley Hotel. Stanley Hotel. In Estes Park. Yeah, yeah. Um, so that's where they started doing this experiment to start. Um it before it got its name, people would just call it like the spirit box session, something, something, something. But then um the people that created this uh were like, we're gonna change it and call it the Estus method, so that's what it's known as now. But there have been a couple of videos that I've seen where like people are asking the most randomest of questions that you wouldn't expect, and the answers that they're getting back are like full-blown like, oh, how would that person know what the person's asking when they're answering that person's question?

SPEAKER_01 46:12

Now I would love to find out that my house does have a portal, but you know what I really want to find out. I wanna see if Aaron has anything to say. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:23

Would you be upset if it wasn't him?

SPEAKER_01 46:26

Upset? Ugh. Like angry? No. Okay. No, I I I might be a little disappointed if I didn't hear from him all night, but I did hear from others.

SPEAKER_00 46:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 46:36

Yeah. But does he come to you in dreams, Eddie? Not at all. That's why I get just so disappointed. I I hear this happening to other people. Yeah, not you. It must be the black backlin and the tresty and the wine. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:52

Alright. We're almost there. I promise. So after doing all this research, I stumbled upon so many different places that have stories to go along with them. I joked about doing an honorable mention part of my story, and the stories that didn't make the cut, but worth mentioning. Um, in no particular order and going back to downtown, you have La Carafe, which is the oldest bar in Houston and believed to be haunted by the former bar manager Carl. People have seen bottles fly off shelves and hear footsteps upstairs, disembodied voices cut through the loud chatter of the bar, and the bar still exists and still operates to this day. So, you like I said, you can still visit. It's a cash-only bar. They mostly do wines and stuff like that. Uh, the second floor is off limits because of the I don't want to say OSHA violations, but it's not safe for people who don't work there to go up there. I know that there was a couple of arguments that they've had with the city of Houston about having a fire escape. That's the other reason why you can't go upstairs is because there is no fire escape from the second floor to get out if you needed to get out. Boy, that building was built a long time ago then. It's the oldest bar in Houston. It's one of the very last-standing buildings that were original to Houston being built. It's really cool. Going by there, they have like gas lanterns out front. I think one night after an opening night that we did at the opera, I think that was one of the places we landed at. We kind of bar hopped. Because there's a few places in Market Square that exist. Warren's is another one that's the stage hand bar. If you ever go to Warren's, ask for the Mike Grawl, they'll give you iced tea. Rest in peace, Mike Grawl. Wonderful human being. Anyway, in the same part of town, the Julia Eideson building is said to have the spirit of the long-serving night watchman, Jacob Frank Kramer. He died in the building, and people say at night you can hear him playing softly on his violin, and sometimes you get to hear the little click-clacks of his dog Petey. The nails on the floor as he follows behind uh his owner. I think that's the library, the Julia Ideson building. I've actually never been in the building. I hear that it's very pretty. I also heard that the original flag from City of Houston that my great-great-grandfather made is in that is in the library. You can go see it.

SPEAKER_01 49:06

Really?

SPEAKER_00 49:06

Yeah, somebody somebody found it, I think.

SPEAKER_01 49:08

So I'm disappointed you've never been there.

SPEAKER_00 49:09

Not even to see your great grandfather's flag. Hey, we tried to find his grave for my birthday this year, and that didn't go so well. Aww. Let's see. After so Petey follows behind him, um, and then I go on to say, I hope my pets stay with me when I die. I get to hang out with my best friend and not have to worry about paying bills. Say less. So, and still in downtown is the uh is the Rice, formerly the Rice Hotel. Uh, this building served as JFK's last day before his assassination. Uh, guests and residents have reported rattling doors, ghost dancers in the ballroom, and orbs of light. And then uh lastly, there's a house on South Gestner at Beechnut. I never knew this existed when I was doing my research, but the story came up over and over again to the people that lived out that way. So it goes. Large house, five bedrooms, four baths. Someone built this large mansion at a very busy intersection. A family that lived in the house died by carbon monoxide poisoning, and the property has changed hands multiple times. I actually looked at the house, it is currently for rent, at $2,700 a month.

SPEAKER_01 50:16

That's not bad.

SPEAKER_00 50:17

That's actually not bad. $2,700 a month for a five bedroom.

SPEAKER_01 50:23

For a five-bedroom, four baths. Four baths. Yeah. You are never waiting.

SPEAKER_00 50:30

Is that how you quantify it? Priceless. It's how you do it. I don't have to wait to use the frosting. This is great. Um, so and I said, I wonder why no one has moved in yet. Could it really be haunted? And they call that, um, I think they call that place the White House, and it's weird. Like, busy, busy intersection, and then there's this huge house with like white pillars, just kind of out of nowhere, right? Like in the middle of what would just be like not slums of Houston, but just not so big houses. So there was a a big part of like, oh, it was the gypsy people that lived there, that was who bought it sight unseen, but I couldn't corroborate that. And if it was good on them, you know, they have a big old family house that they can go home to, but with five baths. But you can uh you can rent it. You can rent it if you want. So that's pretty much all I have for the Houston side of spooky stuff.

SPEAKER_01 51:25

Alright, because And one of which you've been to personally.

SPEAKER_00 51:29

The Patterson Road one?

SPEAKER_01 51:31

No. Oh, that's so too then. The spaghetti house with the foghorn. Yeah, with the foghorn, yeah. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 51:35

Yeah. I've been to the cemetery too. But I'm the I'm one of those weird people that likes to go to cemeteries to visit and go look at I don't want to say the architecture, but look at the headstones, look at how the other half live when you've got all the money in the world and you can buy big ol' monolesum. Yeah. Mausoleums. Yes. Yes, that's the word. You got it.

SPEAKER_01 51:59

That's exactly how I said it.

SPEAKER_00 52:01

Uh same, same. But yeah. Um I've been to La Carafe too. I didn't have any experiences there though. The other story that I saw with La Carafe is that there is a woman that if you try to go upstairs, she will basically stand right in front of you. Like you feel you being pushed back down. And it usually only happens to pretty girls. Really? Because supposedly La Carafe was, I guess, like a whorehouse. And like uh George Washington apparently frequented. I don't know if he went to the whorehouse part of it. So now we're actually learning more about George Washington. And his wooden teeth.

SPEAKER_01 52:39

Visiting the whorehouse.

SPEAKER_00 52:40

Maybe. I mean, I don't I don't know if that's why he went. It could have been something.

SPEAKER_01 52:43

But either way, we're not really selling the idea of George Washington here.

SPEAKER_00 52:47

I didn't realize I had to sell George Washington today.

SPEAKER_01 52:50

I just well, the guy's a hero, so now I'm finding out he went to a whorehouse. They say.

SPEAKER_00 52:56

I don't know. I couldn't. That's one of the things that did not come up in my story was George Washington was here and he visited a whore. It wasn't anything like that.

SPEAKER_01 53:05

Okay. Okay. Man, I'm blowing it up a little bit, huh? That's okay. Okay. But I'm being pushed down the stairs.

SPEAKER_00 53:10

Right. Yes, because if you are pretty. I am. So would you go and visit any of these places if allowed? I know that I asked you.

SPEAKER_01 53:18

I wish the spaghetti house was still in play. I really do. Yeah, I mean this building's still there. It's just a dance club. Yeah, but if it was the items themselves.

SPEAKER_00 53:25

Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_01 53:27

Alright, well. Well, so to conclude this, we have decided that we will in fact have a podcast of us doing the Estes method method. Yeah. Here in my own house. Yeah. This is gonna be exciting.

SPEAKER_00 53:41

I don't know if um I don't know if there's like an ever like a proper like time and place to do it.

SPEAKER_01 53:48

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 53:49

You know, when if you if you believe in like the witchy stuff, like where the veil is thinned between here and there, like do you do you like pick a new moon or do you pick a full moon or do you do it somewhere in between? Like I agree, we want to set ourselves up for success. And I just don't want you to be disappointed if nothing comes of it.

SPEAKER_01 54:10

Right. Because I can't be calling my dog a liar. That would not be cool. I mean, she's a farter, we know this. One just came across the swooooe just a little bit ago. It was like, wow, honey, why you gotta be sitting in this room? Because that's where we are. So you're good with the AI? Okay. Ask it. When is the veil the thinnest in Houston, Texas? Okay. Alright, like right now? Okay, right now. Or do you want to wait? No, I don't want to wait. I want to do it because I still have some more sipping to do. But I just don't know if that's I'm on my second glass of bayou water.

It's not at a competition, Annie, but if it was, I'd be winning. You'd be winning. Um so it says that in spiritual and paranormal belief, geographic location does not change when the veil, doing air quotes again, is thin. The barrier between the physical and spiritual worlds is traditionally considered thinnest globally on Halloween between 3 a.m. and 4 30 a.m.

But 3 a.m. and 4 30 is still gonna be a different time globally.

SPEAKER_00 55:16

Right.

SPEAKER_01 55:16

So I feel like that's not a fair answer. But we will have a Halloween issue. And it will be the Estes method here in my house.

SPEAKER_00 55:24
