You guys have visited some of the most haunted places in the world that we know
of right now.
Are they different?
Is there a common link between all of them?
Are you able to, is there sort of a overall hypothesis that you can come up
with through all that?
Or is it all just one by one?
Most of them, honestly, are their own separate entities or whatever.
No pun intended.
To where you'll go to one spot and learn a bunch of history about the place
that's maybe 500 years old in the U.S.
It's not going to have any correlation to a 500-year-old place in France or
something like that.
So I think every single spot comes with its own story and its own spirits.
There's also human spirits.
There's more demonic things you could talk to as well.
Earthly spirits.
So there's a lot of different variables, I guess you could say, depending on
where you go.
Really? So some places have different types of spirits?
It kind of depends on the history of what all happened there and how much
trauma there is in the said place.
Because, again, all of this is based on the energy that's at the location.
Is there one that stands out to you that kind of had a demonic energy?
Because that's an interesting word.
Yeah.
I mean, okay, so one place that we went to for this October, we went to Pendle
Hill.
And so that's a place that's considered one of the most haunted or, if not, the
most haunted place in the United Kingdom.
Pendle Hill?
Pendle Hill.
P-E-N-D-E-L?
D-L-E.
But that was the home of the most infamous witch trials ever happened.
So, like, basically 11 witches were killed.
12 were put on trial for doing witchcraft.
And at that time, a lot of witches turned to the devil because witches were outcasted
by the church.
And so when they would turn to the devil, they made this place more, like,
demonic.
And, like, it has this, like, devil, satanic pull to it.
Wow.
And so we actually brought out a, you know.
A witch.
A witch that was doing witchcraft to summon the devil.
That was her main practice and had her try to summon and channel, like, the
devil himself.
The actual devil.
And it was, like, literally, like, hundreds of years of witches on this exact
hill have been practicing trying to speak with the devil.
And we tried to recreate that as close as possible, which was one of, if not
the most terrifying thing we've ever done.
Yeah.
But, like, for example, that would make a place more demonic.
If we have hundreds of years of people putting their effort and all of their
power.
Again, if we're talking about opening yourself up to a spiritual thing, if all
you're doing is putting that faith and that energy towards something demonic,
you're going to attract the demonic.
You're not going to attract something that's, like, happy.
Oh, for sure.
Let me see this.
Pendle Hill is most infamous for its ties to the Pendle Witch Trials of 1612,
where several local women were tried and executed for witchcraft.
The area is steeped in legend, including tales of supernatural occurrences.
Does it have any more?
Can you give me a little bit more information about the witches?
Maybe you could say, like, look up the story of Allison Device.
This is how it all started.
How you guys found it?
Oh, this is how it all began.
This is how it all began.
I wish we found this.
That'd be crazy.
The story of Allison Device, Allison, is central to the infamous Pendle Witch
Trials of 1612 in Lancashire, England.
She was a young woman from a poor family who, one spring morning, encountered
John Law, a peddler from Halifax, while walking to Trodden Forest.
Allison asked him for some pins, a common request at the time.
As pins were believed to have uses in folk magic, Law refused, prompting
Allison to utter a curse against him, upon which Law soon collapsed, suffering
symptoms that were later recognized as a stroke.
Called it.
Though at the time, this was believed to be a result of witchcraft.
Dang.
And she was 12, by the way, when she did this.
So a 12-year-old girl just meets a salesman.
She's like, can I have some pins?
He's like, nah.
She's like, curse you, and he died.
And so they were like, this girl's a witch.
And so her and her family were all, like, accused of witchcraft.
And then they all started blaming each other in the town.
But the weird part is, like, they all admitted to it.
They literally, like, said on court trial, like, hey, I did use witchcraft to
attempt to speak to the devil and summon him.
And so it's like, well, why?
You know?
Oh, the family said that?
Yeah.
The family.
So why did they do that?
Because they thought they were so upset by what had happened to her that they're
like, well, we're going to call the devil here?
Well, they were admitting that in previous times they had already, like, they
had already been in witchcraft and they've already been a part of it.
Oh, so her family was a little bit familiar with witchcraft.
Yeah.
Oh, but also, what's that dude doing just gooning around some 12-year-old?
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying, dude?
Serves him right.
Bro, what are you loitering around some 12-year-old for, dude?
That's so true.
Oh, my God.
Bro, they're catching mad gooners back then.
They were.
That's the kind of shit that happens, dude.
Even a long time ago.
And she was the one that got arrested, not him, by the way.
What, dude?
It's like, what?
It's like, God, obvious.
Oh, that's crazy, though.
And imagine the energy of that at the time.
And, like, she's young and now, like, she's put in this space where it's like,
how did they execute them?
They hang them.
By hanging.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So if you think about that, yeah, like, 11 of them died, 10 of them by hanging.
And that was accounted for 2% of all the witches ever that have been executed.
All in this one trial.
Because the whole family admitted to witchcraft.
So it was a massive deal.
And it's one of the most famous witch trials in history.
Because part of the thing was to be, like, freed from being, like, accused of
being a witch, I guess.
You had to point the blame on somebody else.
So the entire family basically, like, turned on each other.
And, like, the little girl was like, my grandma did it.
And she was like, what the fuck?
And then she was on the trial.
And obviously.
You're like, mom's a bitch.
And they're like, but they didn't hear it right.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And then she was like, oh, shit.
And now I'm dead.
Oh.
Dude, that's crazy.
That would be the craziest.
It's almost like the sickest game show ever where it's going to be you or you
have to point the finger at somebody else.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And it's your mom.
Crazy.
Especially if there's nobody left.
What if it was down to you and your mom?
Yeah.
Exactly.
Do I kill her?
Oh, God.
And then you both blame each other.
So you're both dead.
And you're like, okay.
Yeah.
It's like that meme or the Spider-Man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You just blame each other.
That's the witch trials, man.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
Has there been an experience that hit you more emotionally than other
experiences?
Dude.
Yeah.
Not to go back to the same video we were just talking about, but also during
Hell Month this month, we did the Pendle Hill.
And Sam had mentioned that we were really trying to push the bar.
And talk to the actual devil himself.
And earlier I had mentioned, like, I'm Christian.
And so that was something that I was just like, no.
Like, I always feel like I'm overstepping the line.
Like, being involved in the paranormal as a Christian as it is.
Being involved in, like, occult magic and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel that.
Which is hard.
It's like a mental battle for me.
But at the same time, like, when our team first decided or came up with the
idea of, like, maybe we can, like, invite a witch to summon the devil.
And I was like, guys, like, this is where I have to draw the line for, like, my,
which sounds like, like, duh.
You wouldn't want to do that.
Sam, you take this one.
Yeah.
And he did.
And he did.
But, yeah.
But it's also interesting if you sometimes if you want to talk to, you know,
sometimes you got to talk to this person to talk to that person, you know.
Exactly.
But was that, but sorry, I stepped on you.
What were you saying?
Oh, it's all good.
It was just like, and we show it in the video as well.
But, like, I basically pull Sam to the side right before he's about to do this,
like, ritual, I guess you could say.
And I had, like, a deep conversation with him where I was, like, nearly in
tears talking to him about, like, dude, like, we're making, like, YouTube
videos.
Like, this is beyond that.
Like, you are, like, meddling into some stuff that, like, I know you don't
personally believe in.
But this has, like, everything to do, like, with my faith.
And I deeply believe in this.
Yeah, Sam's gone too far.
Yeah, for real.
And I was just, like, be careful.
We're, like, yeah, fuck Sam, actually.
Comment down below.
Yeah, Sam's gone too far.
So why are you doing that, man?
Let's hash it out here, man.
No, it was interesting.
Like, jokes aside.
And where was that at, sorry?
Pendle Hill.
That was in Pendle Hill.
In UK.
I could see that, man.
I could see that because you, you know, it's almost just like, like, if you say
enough bad stuff, it's like, you know, it's like, you become what you do.
You know, it's like, it's, I could see that when you, there's a reason why
people probably don't do it that much.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Especially religious people like me.
But, like, again, I am more so just, like, spreading hope to people.
And that's kind of how, like, I mentally cope with what I do for a living.
But, like, again, when it has to, like, delve into, like, hellish things, like,
literally talking to Satan, the devil himself, I was like, you know what?
I'm good on that one.
I'll just film, like, in the corner.
Yeah.
Maybe talk to Satan's secretary or whatever.
You don't need the big dog in here, dude.
Exactly.
