Ghosts at the Table: Thanksgiving Chills, Reddit Tales, and Gratitude

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi everyone and welcome to this week's episode of Three Cups in a Dash of Spirituality. The ladies are gonna dive in and read some Reddit stories and talk about gratitude and just kind of reminisce as we step into the holiday season. If you like what you hear, make sure you subscribe and like everything that you listen to. And with that, play the music. Hey everybody, and welcome to this week's episode of Three Cups in a Dash of Spirituality. I am here with Carissa. Hi Carissa. Hello, hello, and Michelle. Hi everyone. And this week we're doing some more Reddit stories. So we're getting close to Thanksgiving, that magical day where we eat a ton of food. I'm excited about it. It's my favorite holiday.

SPEAKER_01 0:50

Is that your favorite part? Just all the yummy things you get to eat, or the football, or the family.

SPEAKER_00 0:54

Like what I can do without the football. I'm not a big sports person. Like I'm that yay team kind of person. I like helping to cook. Like it's my favorite thing about Thanksgiving. I get up usually relatively early and go to my parents' house and help them cook all day. And I don't know what it is. I just, it's that that feeling of love and just being there doing something like that. I all I've always loved it. So that's it, it it's my favorite holiday of the year. I and I love Christmas too, but Thanksgiving, for whatever reason, it's just always been the best in mashed potatoes our life. Yeah.

unknown 1:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

And it's so nostalgic too. Like that holiday really can tie back to every Thanksgiving you've had in the past. And that feeling just builds and builds and builds. And when you're with the people you love and doing the things you love, I love everything you say, and I like the champagne that I get to drink while cooking too.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

So the champagne wonderful day. So what I started doing in the past couple of years is my sister-in-law. Now we pick our alcohol of choice and we drink throughout the day, and then we stop to make sure we're sober enough to go home and not hung over the next day. It is an absolute blast. What are y'all gonna drink this year? Don't know yet. We haven't really talked, but last year it was Bloody Marys. We enjoyed Bloody Marys all day, and then we had uh Dirty Martini. So it was kind of like that was awesome.

SPEAKER_01 2:16

Oh wonderful, wonderful that you brought up Bloody Marys because I had somebody ask me about what the blood teenies.

SPEAKER_02 2:25

I call it Stacy for dinner, and she had one. And I was like, What is this? This and I was like, she said it's this, and I was like, No, it's a blood teeny.

SPEAKER_00 2:36

Well, I had a listener ask about it. So what's in it? Okay, so it is an extra dirty Tito's martini with a shot of bloody merry mix. So I love a dirty martini, you know, with the olives and everything like that. And I was at a hotel one day and I ordered one, and the bartender was like, Have you ever tried it with a shot of Bloody Merry Mix? And I went, No. So they added that shot of Bloody Merry Mix into the dirty martini, and it is an absolute fucking game changer, and they are just so good. It just changes the flavor enough just to make it so enjoyable. Yeah, I had them when I went to New Orleans.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

And the olives look like eyeballs in there. It was so cool, it was perfect. I love that. So the the nostalgia of Thanksgiving builds every year, and now we're here. And today Chris has selected Reddit stories for us to read that have to do with that worn feeling, too, of just being connected to loved ones.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

And I'm super excited about these, but sprinkled with paranoia, paranormal paranoia, sprinkled paranoia.

SPEAKER_01 3:48

Of course. So who wants to go first?

SPEAKER_00 3:52

Well, since since she threw out the word paranoia, and it's not necessarily super, super, because I uh, you know, I'm sitting here looking at my Reddit story. It's not really warm and fuzzy. So if if that's okay, why don't we jump in with this one and then we can go to the super warm and fuzzies? That sounds good to me. All right, so this one is my personal ghost story. It's by Usalty Night. We moved into a duplex house that had been vacant since the owner died. We don't know if she died there or not. At first, my partner and I would notice the kitchen light would go off or on while we were in the living room. Then the light panel covering the bulb would come off and bounce noisily in the kitchen. This happened several times. My partner nailed it back on so that that was the end of it. I would be napping and I would hear footsteps and hard soles in the garage door opening. I realized my partner only wore soft soled shoes. Say that three times fast. I was napping in my bed and felt someone sit next to me, and so did my partner. The stronger vibes began during Thanksgiving. I have these two old lamps that were at my grandparents' house. They are beautiful, but I don't turn them on because of old wiring, but they are plugged in. During Thanksgiving, I saw my daughter looking in the mirror and the one lamp near was turned on. Then on my birthday, which was a week after Thanksgiving, my partner and I are in bed asleep at 3 a.m. and the other light comes on. We sat up, looked around, both of us annoyed. He got out of bed and turned the light off. Then he goes back to bed and we start to sleep, but the light comes back on in about two minutes. This time he gets out of bed and takes the light bulb out. Now, the previous lamp that turned on when my daughter was there, I called her and asked if she had turned that light on. She said no, it just came on on its own. And so the daughter thought that there was a system set up for the lights to automatically turn on. And I guess no. And the last note is we don't live there anymore. And that's that is the story.

SPEAKER_02 5:52

Wait, but is this uh was this just around Thanksgiving?

SPEAKER_00 5:56

Was this writer talking, or did they say I think the big thing were the lamps right around Thanksgiving? So there was that connection to the grandparents. So part of me is wondering if it's not necessarily the previous owner, but the family coming through trying to get their attention.

SPEAKER_02 6:11

Yes, that's what I has come through for me.

SPEAKER_01 6:14

I was just sitting here and thinking of an event that happened the other day. And I it was four in the morning. My husband gets up early, he was in the other room, and all of a sudden the fan light went bright. And I'm like, oh my gosh, who's trying to communicate with me? And then he came in the room, and I guess the remotes are the same. And so he turned on the light. But I have had experiences where I have been at home, this kind of the same thing. My husband and I are in bed, and the fan just turns on all by itself. And I get up, I go turn it off, and in the morning I'm like, why would you turn the fan on? You know, the room gets really cold. And he's like, I didn't do it, I thought it was you. So I have had those experiences, and you're like, What the heck? My husband probably said a different word because you know he's not as into this as I am.

SPEAKER_02 7:05

So yeah, though, this is a great question. When was the last time y'all had something like this happen where something moved or light switched in your house? And what how'd you handle it? What'd you do and what'd your partner think of it?

SPEAKER_01 7:17

I know exactly when the last time something went on. I was at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. I was there with a friend. She had a different room, so I was in the room all by myself. And in the closet, there they have a motion sensor light, and I'm laying in bed, I'm the only one in there. And that light kept turning on and off. And I think I have it recorded. It's in a video that Carissa's released or will release. And I'm like, this is freaking me out. I wasn't, but I really wasn't freaked out. I'm just like, this is interesting. I still was able to sleep and everything, but that happened about a month ago.

SPEAKER_00 7:52

So it's interesting because I was like, nothing's really happened. But I do recall, I think it was last week texting you both going, you're never gonna guess what happened. We woke up at it, it was actually 2:34 a.m. And I remember because I looked at the clock and 234.

SPEAKER_02 8:10

And it was in sequence.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Yeah, yeah, that that in itself is very interesting. And I don't know why, but I had rolled over and I was looking at something on the the nightstand, and all of a sudden, he's my husband now. My husband's phone started playing a song on Pandora, not just playing in the middle of the song. What song was it? I can't remember, but it was the lyrics that I do recall is I want to live. And he was like, What is happening? And I was like, I have no idea because I didn't touch his phone, nothing happened. It just like started playing in the middle of it, and it brought back memories for me of being a little girl in my parents' house, and the CD player would randomly start playing Phantom of the Opera. So I would wake up in the middle of the night and it would be for whatever reason, the volume was all the way up at my parents' house, and all you would hear is bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. And it would the it was terrifying then. But with this song and the lyrics that played, I turned it off and I was able to roll over and go back to sleep. But the next morning he was like, What happened? And I was like, Your buddy just came through, it was fine. Like, I was just gonna say, Was that his friend?

SPEAKER_01 9:28

Yeah, that's what I was feeling too. And I just got to swipe in the head as you were telling this story.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

Yep. And it it was kind of cool because he had had a dream about him. I was actually wearing a bracelet that was dedicated to him, and I was like, he just popped through. Like I was it was no big deal, you know? And so we both just went back to sleep. But for me, like I know my bedroom's protected, so I wasn't worried. So that was my experience.

SPEAKER_01 9:54

He just wanted to say you might want to revisit that Phantom of the Opera thing, too, because that's actually where I felt the swipe in my head, like something wanting wanting your attention there.

SPEAKER_00 10:03

So yeah, I don't think I've ever shared that with you guys. We can we can chat about it at some point, but yeah, that was growing up, it would happen quite frequently. What about you first a lot?

SPEAKER_02 10:12

I mean, the last one we were in Vegas, the bathroom light would intermittently come on and off, flicker on and off. So eventually I just turned it on. So, okay, maybe it's an electrical thing. Let's just put that as you know, you you gotta look at some of the common sense things, but it was a lot. I have had a last time a chair move on me, but he was someone who just wanted to get my attention to cross them over. But some of the most important ones where you know, I went through a like I'm just an not an atheist, but agnostic stage. Like I'm just unconsciously, I was picking up too much stuff, but I wasn't consciously aware, and it was unconsciously overwhelming. And so that was a way for me to just shut it off. And as I was coming out of that agnostic stage and entering back into my spirituality, my guides would cloak things and move things. For example, we went to Big Ben and we were hiking up a mountain, and all of a sudden, an electrical storm came in. Well, I was like started running. I was like, we have to go, we have to go. I mean, right when it it lightning hits and then boom, the thunder like that. Have y'all I've never have y'all been into something like that where it's right over you? Yep, and you're on top of a mountain. Like, I'm shit.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

Well, I mean, I not on top of a mountain, but I've experienced that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

But I like I was running, I was scared. I was, I would jump in a little cave, and my husband's like, Well, you were obviously more afraid of lightning than snakes. But anyhow, I get back to our hotel, I go in the restroom and in the bathroom, and I'm just like, Oh my god, telling my spirit guides because now I'm getting building a relationship, getting more comfortable with them. I was like, I was so scared, I was so scared. You know, I'm talking to them, and all of a sudden it's like someone popped the shampoo bottle off yeah, the ledge and it fell. And in that moment, it they were just telling me I was I was there with you, honey.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

So you weren't alone, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:16

Yeah, but yeah, so that was a fun story.

SPEAKER_00 12:20

I love how I love how all of us have these experiences so regularly, and they're just a part of our lives now. And it's kind of like, oh, okay. But you know, kind of getting back to that gratitude piece, Michelle. I know you have another Reddit story that was very close to your heart.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

I do, and I'm excited to share it. I did read it ahead of time so I could try and read it more eloquently than I did last time. So here we go. This one's called A Heartwarming Ghost Story. What's their name?

SPEAKER_02 12:47

Is it a fun name?

SPEAKER_01 12:48

Yes, it's J D O FMO. Okay. So again, this is a heartwarming ghost story. My maternal grandparents lived in Nebo, Missouri, a little community in the Mark Twain National Forest. My family lived in Springfield, so when we go to visit them, it would take a couple hours to get there. In 2006, my grandmother had a stroke, and as a result, she moved into a facility to monitor her condition. Sadly, her mental state never recovered, and the last photos I saw of her were nearly unrecognizable. That's so sad. I know. So we were all preparing ourselves for the inevitable. Then, one Sunday morning, my father received a phone call, and shortly after receiving the call, my two younger sisters started crying. When we asked them what the problem was, my youngest sister said grandpa died. His health had suddenly broken down, and despite the attempt to get him medical attention, he'd gone quickly. That Wednesday, we had held his funeral and burial, and given our grandma's mental state, she couldn't be there. A couple days later, we got the news that grandma had died peacefully. Her funeral was held about a week after her husband's funeral. Now, for the ghostly part. After my grandma's funeral, during the family gathering, a little story got out. When grandma had been informed that her husband had died, she protested that the news couldn't be true as he was still visiting her. Now, as I already said, after the stroke, grandma's mental health wasn't all there. But what if she was right? What if my grandfather was visiting her? Did he not want to go without her? During my first 20 years of life, I never questioned that they loved each other. Maybe that love was enough to keep them together, even after one of them had already died.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

Why did it resonate with you?

SPEAKER_01 14:37

It resonated with me because I remember when my grandma passed, she had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and she was doing okay. She was doing what she was supposed to do. And during her illness, my grandfather ended up having a heart attack. So they lived in California. We lived in Colorado. So my dad went to be with my grandma to help her while grandpa was in the hospital. And while he was there, my grandma ended up passing away. And so it kind of just fell into that. It fell into all those feelings of God got him to where he needed to be so he could be there for her mom, his mom when she passed. It goes back to you kind of choose who you're with when you pass. Right. And he was there with her. And had his dad not gotten sick, he wouldn't have been there. And then the other part of that is my mom. She she had an experience, and uh she was laying in the room before my grandma died, and she heard a voice clearly say it's not his time, it's her time. And that's a story that's always been shared with us. And it just I don't know, it speaks to my heart. I miss my grandparents, and yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

I I have so much love for all of that. You know, I I think one of the things that I find so beautiful is you know, you know that they are there to walk that path with the other person. You know, it's there's there's not a doubt in my mind that the Reddit story that you just read that the grandfather was was there. I absolutely believe he was there. And I just your story, your family, like so beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 16:24

Thank you. And you know, I've read a book, I can't remember the name of it, or maybe I heard a podcast and it was a hospice nurse. And she was it sharing her experiences, and she did say, like, when people get closer to passing, their loved ones do come back and they feel that space. The angels come back. They're there, there's people there with them to help them transition. And I know when my grandmother passed, my other grandmother passed away, she was in California in a nursing home by herself. And I remember just praying, praying to my other grandparents, like, please be there for her, please be there to transition. And in that moment, I felt someone squeeze my leg and I'm like, it's all okay. Like they are there. She's not gonna do this walk alone. And so I really do feel that space is filled with immense love and familiarity. That's a word I don't say very easily, but to move them on and to help them transition.

SPEAKER_00 17:20

And and I know I think we've talked about it in a previous episode, but you know, there's the possibility of being called to be a spiritual witness for someone who's crossing over as well. You know, I've I've been there for somebody, you know, as a psychic to, you know, be there when they cross, just so they're not alone. And I mean, not physically present, but spiritually.

SPEAKER_02 17:39

My when my grandfather was on his deathbed, he looked over at me because he's kind of out of it, but he's conscious. And he said, Why do you think I haven't passed yet? And of course, that's jarring and it's shocking, right? Because it is just is because I can step and see into his shoes and feel what it's like being him. And so then I I finally was able to articulate something and I said, Have you had any visitors? And he immediately went back, he shook his head yes, and his head went back and laid back down the pillow and just went back into peace. No remembering those recent visits that just you know, because your mind's not all the way there. And then when my uncle had AIDS, and the first time he got sick, and he said an angel, a loving white light figure, came to the middle of the night and said, It's not your time. And he was released from the hospital within a week. Yeah, probably seven years later is when he passed.

SPEAKER_00 18:40

That's amazing.

SPEAKER_02 18:42

I know.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

So we're not alone. We're definitely not alone. And I mean, I love that that story was shared on Reddit because it does resonate, and I'm sure it resonates with so many people. And I just want to say definitely he was there. Never doubt it, never think you know, it's just because her mental state was in decline. He was there with her. And I feel that in every fiber.

SPEAKER_02 19:07

This is coincidentally perfect to share this. I was having a rough day, and I said, I was like, Spirit guides, this is just this is a rough day. And this video came through when I was on searching, and it's called everybody go check it out, Merchants of Light. And it was just released three months ago, and we'll add it to the podcast notes too. It's a beautiful story on YouTube, and it perfectly pairs connects to what we've just were talking about.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

Of course. I love those synchronicities with there, and thank you for sharing that too. Should we jump into Carissa's story?

SPEAKER_02 19:50

Yes. Okay, this is from you slash octagon house. Oh my god. Oh, and it's called Thanksgiving Guest, and it says, Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, thought I would share an experience. It happened to me in my home last Thanksgiving around 2020. I've been living in an octagon house built in 1855 for over 20 years, and I've that is really cool, actually. An octagon house. That is, I want to look one up. I don't know. I know that's cool. Anyway, they've been living there for over 20 years and experienced some things over the years, which I've posted in the past. The last major event occurred as my family and I sat down for Thanksgiving dinner around 4 p.m. in our kitchen on the first floor of our second floor single family home. Shortly after everyone was seated, I distinctly heard unmistakable footsteps on the second floor above the kitchen where nobody was at the time. The steps continued in what sounded like movement across the stairs, upstairs room, and then down the stairs directly outside the open kitchen doorway. The steps then began to approach me from behind.

unknown 21:02

Right?

SPEAKER_02 21:03

Although I didn't look back, since it all helped happen fairly fast, I could actually feel the thumping of the floorboards as the footsteps approached. Okay, I haven't I haven't had this yet happen, but maybe it will. Before I had a chance to say anything, my youngest daughter looked under the table and said to me, Oh, you're doing that, Dad. I said, No, it's not me. And you heard that and felt that too. It was creepy to say the least. And the weird thing is that only my younger daughter had heard or felt anything. My older daughter and wife didn't have a clue what we experienced. The unique thing about this experience is that only my youngest daughter and I have ever experienced things in the house. Never my wife or older daughter makes you think that we are tuned into these experiences more than them. Uh yes. Yes. Have y'all ever experienced? Vibrations like that on the floor of someone coming closer to you?

SPEAKER_00 22:04

Yes. When I was I was little, little, little, I lived in this when we first moved to New Hampshire. Like again, you guys are bringing up a lot of memories that I've not thought about. We're forgotten about, right? Uh when we first moved here, we lived in this old three-story house. And I was terrified of my bedroom because it had this giant, really dark wood closet. And so I would literally go to sleep every night with my eyes open. And it was carpeted. It had this like really dark red carpeting, which I also found really creepy too, just as an aside. Um and I would hear people walking in my room, but not on carpet. And so I if you if you can imagine being like eight, nine years old, you know, trying to sleep at night, and you hear someone walking around your room, but you know you have carpeting, but you're hearing them like almost on wood floor. It was terrifying. And this house, too, had a dirt basement. And in the dirt basement, there was this giant trunk. You know, oh good Lord, where is this? In X, it it's still here. It's still here. Oh my gosh. Um, I I I don't know. I mean, they it's been remodeled since since then, but it had this huge trunk. And I remember I was terrified of the basement. I knew there was nothing in the trunk because naturally I looked at one point in time when I was not alone. And there were people constantly walking around my room, not on carpeting. And how long did you live there for? Less than six months, and then they moved, we moved across town. Well, thank goodness. And then what did you tell your parents?

SPEAKER_02 23:49

I'm curious.

SPEAKER_00 23:50

My parents knew I was terrified, actually. That was the very beginning of like the psychic on opening up because the experience that I've had that I had with like the multiple people outside my bedroom window happened at the the other house that we had moved, we moved into after this one. But I was terrified of night for the longest time, and I would get up and turn lights on so that I could see things, and it drove my parents nuts because electricity is not free. But this house, like I remember I was I was always terrified. And if I was the only one awake, it was even worse. I would wake my my sisters or brother up. Just I'd be like, Hey, are you awake? Are you awake? Are you awake? Just so that I knew I wasn't alone because I was I I would fall asleep under the covers.

SPEAKER_02 24:39

Yes, I know that feeling.

SPEAKER_01 24:41

Yes, I'm loving this because obviously I didn't read the other two stories because I thought they were all gonna be about gratitude. So that was like a miss there a little bit. But at the beginning of this episode, I did say it's about memories and nostalgia. And Stacey just a minute ago confirmed that. So I love how this episode is building. I have heard footsteps as a child in a home, but again, as a child, you can easily say, I didn't really hear that. But I would say recently at the Sally house, and did I hear footsteps? No, but I had a ball, like it felt like someone stepped there and a ball shot across and hit me in the foot. So that that did happen.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

I had one where I was opening what that I was talking about opening up with my spirit guides, and it was in the middle of the night, and I and I had felt a presence in the doorway. Well, actually, I heard, you know, when you're walking on the carpet and you can hear the shh shh shh shh shh. And I looked up in the in the mirror that could see the doorway, and I saw, I thought my husband standing there. And I'm like, oh, he wants me to get up early and have coffee with him, and I'm just too tired. That's what I was thinking. So eventually out loud I said, what? And he turned around and walked away. Well, he had the ammonia or bronchitis. He was sleeping in our daughter's bed, and my daughter was with me this long time ago. So I got up, like all of a sudden, and knowing that's not him. So I got up and ran in there, and he was dead asleep. And I tried to like, yes, I tried to shake him and I said, Matt, and nothing. And then I ran back. I was like, I ran back to the bed, turned on the lamp, and got it on the covers. And then all of a sudden, I noticed that my whole body was at peace. Like my mind was freaking, but my whole body was at peace. And those are my spirit guide. It was my spirit guide. And then I just drifted right back to sleep.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

That's amazing. It definitely is. And I'm thinking about something else that your writer put in his letter, her letter, about how only him and the one daughter heard it and the other two didn't. Do you want to speak to that? And do you have experience with that at all?

SPEAKER_02 27:06

With my daughter, I mean, I only have one kid, but yeah, she's experienced. Oh, well, she does, but my husband doesn't. But yeah, she does. She has experiences, and it's in her astrology chart, too.

SPEAKER_00 27:19

How about you, Stacey? Do you want to speak to that? I think one of the things to note is, you know, different levels of of intuitive openness is really what kind of comes to mind for me. You know, you have, I mean, even the three of us have different levels of intuition. That doesn't make it better or worse, but some people are just more open to it. So I think I think it's a combination.

SPEAKER_01 27:42

Well, I do know from personal experience that can be very frustrating too, that when you're seeing something, you're hearing something, and somebody else can't see it, that is a little bit frustrating. Like, am I going crazy? Like, what is going on here? Because I very often see faces in things and I'm circling them, like, people, do you see this? And they're like, No, no, we don't. And I'm like, what's wrong with me? Am I really seeing it or I'm not? But I do see faces everywhere. And when I see them, then I'll like kind of outline them. And sometimes they can see them, sometimes not.

SPEAKER_02 28:18

And you have that creative mind though, too. Because sometimes I see faces, and I'll be like, That, oh, that's interesting. You know, it's like the the Worshack test, or what it's what's it called? Yep.

SPEAKER_00 28:30

I know what you're talking about. I can't think of it, but yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:32

Yeah, and I'll be like, Oh, yeah, there's that picture. I'm like in clouds, yeah. That's exactly how I'm a fee. I'm feeling right now. But you are you have more of that creative brain, artsy brain.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

Yeah, I think that's the first time I've ever heard that that I was artsy. You are though, you're amazing. Well, it's newfound. Not with a pen and paper, though. I cannot draw. Carissa, do you have any advice you'd like to give to listeners about ways to protect your energy um during the holiday season?

SPEAKER_02 29:02

Yeah, I just sat down with my spirit guides the other day to release a blog post of and that's this is what they gave about how to protect your boundaries with difficult people around the holidays. How can you stay in your truth without feeling you're going crazy? And really sit and think about that. What brings you peace? What brings you joy? And even if people don't see things that you see or they want to gaslight you, how can you go back to peace? Because I think that's different from everybody. If I give just a blanket statement, like that's for you to really sit and think about.

SPEAKER_01 29:42

Yeah, be sure to protect your energetic boundaries, find time for yourself, don't overcommit, find time to be mindful and really ground into what brings you joy and peace. And I do have a little affirmation I'd like to share, and then maybe we can wrap it up.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

Absolutely.

Okay. So when you get a moment during the holiday season, if you're feeling overwhelmed, say to yourself, I am grateful for who I am. I am grateful for where I've been, for where I'm going, and for where I am now. I am grateful that I'm the only me. I am grateful for the lessons that the hard times have taught me, and I'm grateful for the joy I find in every day.
