A Haunted Halloween Special: He's taking a ghost on dates?

In short

A Halloween special built around “ghosting” in dating and in life—plus spooky ghost stories. The hosts (dressed as very old versions of themselves with prosthetics and canes) swap listener dilemmas about being ignored after flirty messages, then pivot to a “ghost” update about Prince Albert, and end with multiple eerie accounts (including a nurse in A&E describing hospital buzzer incidents and “death gusts of wind”).

Guests

No traditional guests appear. The episode features recurring hosts and multiple listener stories/“Sarah” updates. One key story is from “Sarah” (the listener who previously claimed she was visited by the ghost of Prince Albert).

Key claims and notable examples

  • Ghosting examples: “I love you” then silence; “I hope you get better soon” followed by no reply; “I’ll see you in five minutes” with no follow-up; a long Snapchat/pen-pal relationship where the man never meets her, then reappears after a year and later blocks her.
  • Prince Albert ghost update: Sarah visits Kensington Palace, feels Prince Albert present in a bedroom, gets closure, then later discovers she’s pregnant; the baby is born on August 26 (claimed as Albert’s birthday).
  • Spooky examples: a hospital nurse reports a buzzer activating in an empty cubicle; cups/taps moving during deaths; a childhood story of a ghost seen at the end of a bed and in doorways.

Oh, thank you, honey. Thank you, Popper.

10:35Oh. Sorry. Such a weird dynamic. It's awful. No, actually, this is serious because this poor girl is pregnant and this man has just left out. What did you think of Strictly last night? That was a desperate conversation, Sarah. Surely he's not watching Strictly. What did you think of the cha-cha? can I cook prawns on the frying pan straight out the freezer can you yeah you can can you I think I've done it before but I've been scared I was calling it Andrew definitely because I had salmon the other night and then I had some left over and then I wanted to reheat it the next day oh be careful but I didn't end up doing it because I was very scared oh a video where I sang a song specifically for him that's not right is it that's not right Sarah I mean Maybe your voice wasn't up to scratch, Sarah, unfortunately.

11:34But no reason to be ghosted. You could have even just reacted a heart to it. You know, it's pretty easy these days. Oh, no. Go and touch me with your dirty pole. Don't know where that's been. That's how she treats her husband. Don't know where that's been. I was trying to show some physical affection. Right, we've got here. So this is, what's the question? the last time I was what was the last text you sent before you were ghosted imagine this sorry I vomited in the bed last night Sarah swallow it back down babe swallow it for goodness sake no but when that that is mortifying I've not been sick in about four years I've not been sick in a long time last time I was sick was in that Battersea house was it really I remember it well the day before Sophia met her fiancé the day the night before I remember that very well.

12:29Four years ago. It was a different time. I don't drink like that. It was a different time. What were we drinking that night? We were going to put it down. Absinthe. We were having lemon drops.

See, also, right, this next one is a classic example of how men will say anything. They don't mean it, okay? because she said he said you're the most perfect girl I've ever dated I then replied something flirty I then got no response like why are you lying to me like that like it just like it's so crazy because we wouldn't I wouldn't say things like the words oh you're right sorry the bubbles the bubbles don't want to burp live on air um yeah imagine she's not good with bubbles no they get me honestly I'm better with a squash chamomile tea you're a chamomile or just an English breakfast tea if the Queen intended it these modern drinks I can't handle them can't be dealing with it can we yeah all the technology in these drinks Jamie Oliver wouldn't be happy is he still around I'm sure he is I think he's very old now he's as old as we are I'll be older than us he's irrelevant now Jamie oh bless him yeah sorry I was reading wasn't I um yeah he said you're the most perfect girl and then goes to that bullshit that I hope you get better soon didn't even check back in I could be dead maybe he did die maybe he did die no but she's checking in on her hope you get better soon and she didn't get a response maybe she didn't get better no he He said to her, I hope you get better soon.

He couldn't. I put my hammy dead. Right. No, you're always right, darling. Thank you. I just got a bit confused. Yeah. Oh. Oh, she said, he said, I'll see you in five minutes. And no response.

God, I'm getting all confused.

24:38she sent this update in on the 30th of August I'm so sorry we've been sat on this Sarah but we had to save it for the right occasion you say you know for the girls she knew you know she probably knew I told her gorgeous girls so what's this update gonna be it's me it's I think she's gonna feel he's gonna visit her a few times she feels peace and clarity she understands it more she was a bit confused she was because it was all new maybe you know this has been the norm for a while now or she's developed a full-blown relationship with him you know yeah she could be having an affair maybe he's managed to contact our world and come down you know in some sort of form to visit her it's me the weird Sarah you're not weird the weird Sarah that wrote to you last Halloween about being in love with the ghost of Prince Albert Sarah we remember you well Sarah very well like you made our Halloween Sarah you made our Halloween and you're making it again two years in a row shout out to you first off can I just say I absolutely died when you guys figured out my Brian was Albert your reactions she must have said I think maybe when we were reading it it was a reveal at the end I think so yes your reactions were hilarious I'm sorry we were laughing at you know your but you know you told the story in such a beautiful way it was great storytelling and also thank you for making me feel heard on the situation that most people would have backed slowly away from and thank you to Lydia for coming through for us with her historical context of course because we said she did we called her who was Prince Albert literally it's literally the Queen's dad's dad dad it's the queen's dad right can't remember those early episodes something like that just a short update okay just go it gone as advised by you i spoke to another therapist for a second opinion that's great that's great he instructed me that i should go to a place i feel close to albert the statue and tell him he can let our past life go now yeah don't get me I think that's what we advised I think as well we're the same advice as a licensed therapist yeah fuck the disclosure we are trained professionals yeah yeah yeah sorry disclosure he said even if it makes me feel silly it may make me feel a sense of closure oh wow it's beautiful I took a solo trip oh my god I'm gonna cry for you Sarah no I actually am to Kensington Palace late last year which is where Albert first met Victoria Queen Victoria I see Right?

27:27I think so I've visited many times It gives me so much comfort To know he once walked those halls No I'm gonna And also you're walking around there Like you've got this full blown relationship With Prince Albert, no one knows And you're just like I run these halls You know, this is my husband This is my turf No she was the mistress I believe I don't want to misquote you Sarah No, I think she thought. Yeah, I think. Right. Are we? Right. Albert was with Victoria. Okay. And he was with our Sarah on the side. I think so. They were madly in love, but his dad didn't approve of her. Yes. Because she was a maid.

28:07A scullery maid. Yeah, because she was having visions of her cleaning floors and stuff or something. She was. Was she? It's all coming back. It's all coming back. It's all coming back. And then he just died young. Yeah, I think so. Or did he kill her, the dad? Or something. traumatic happened. Yeah. Something like that. I think the dad killed her. Shouldn't laugh. Well, one of them died young. Or they both died young. Something like that. He couldn't be with her anyway because he had to be with a royal of some sort. It was a Romeo and Juliet, if you will. Whilst walking through one of the bedrooms, I found myself...

28:43Because you probably spent the night there a few times. You know? Of course she did. Or maybe that's where she worked. Yeah. Or maybe... She would have made those beds countless as I was talking about those floors and all sorts. All the back passages. Absolutely. So whilst walking through one of the bedrooms, I found myself separated from the other tourists. Wow, you draw. It sounds bizarre, but let's be real. You guys have heard all my strange happenings, so this is no surprise. But I just felt that he was in there with me in the bedroom. Wow. It was that feeling you get when you know somebody has stood behind you before you see them, if that makes sense.

29:20It's quite powerful. I just got full body chills. Albert's here. I told him, thank you for watching over me, but it's time to go. Oh, Sarah, but you're absolutely heartbroken. But I didn't feel any big shift or anything different, but the therapist was right that it did make me feel relieved. I've had no feelings or sightings of him since. So we listened. He said, because, you know, you said I need to live my life now. Now, I'm glad I've discovered you, but I need to live this life now. And he respected that. Isn't that beautiful? Well, he loves you and he always has. And he always will. But she's took many trips to Kensington Palace, which is lovely.

30:04But shortly after my husband... Sorry, I can't take you seriously. I forgot it's on. But shortly after my husband and I discovered we were expecting... Of course, she was married.

30:16You are not going to believe. what but shortly after I've been to Kensington Palace is she having a boy? she called it Albert my husband and I discovered we were expecting our second baby he was born on August 26th Albert's birthday Albert's birthday

30:34oh my god below is a picture of our baby Albie Albert

30:42you've reincarnated him in your child oh my Sophia, he was born on Albert's birthday. He's here. Oh, alert the queen. He's back. Alert the king. Alert the elders. Where's Prince Harry? Albert's back. Harry. Meghan, get a load of this. That's remarkable. Sarah. I'm just going to fact check Prince Albert's birthday. Sarah. no that is bone chilling oh this is Prince Albert of Monaco sorry that's disgusting 26th of August 1819 that's oh my insane god and I bet yeah the sightings are stopped because he's bloody here well because he's here you know when he starts talking he's going to start saying all sorts like I remember I remember being in those stables.

31:45You know, stuff like that. He's going to say all sorts. His first word's going to be Victoria. He's going to say, oh, it's nice to see you again. Not seeing you in a while. Remember that one night? Yeah. Oh, my dad. I hated my dad. Yeah. Or he's going to go to Kensington. You're going to take him to Kensington Palace. He'll go and he'll know his way around. He'll know it. He'll say, come on, mummy. It's this way. This way. I used to have my breakfast there shit like that oh my god Sarah well I'm really happy for you Sarah you've made our Halloween two years in a row yeah insane Sarah insane we had a picture of the Albert do you want to say I'm sorry that's actually mental though you said your goodbyes you had your peaceful party with his presence it was all timed to perfection and then you found out you were pregnant then it was a boy and then it was on Prince Albert's birthday.

32:42Like you just can't. You can't write it. You can't write that. There he is. Oh my God. And he's beautiful. Albert. Zoom in. Oh my God. He's so cute. Oh my God. He's so cute. Oh my goodness. Oh my God. Well, that's actually just made my, I could, we could end the episode here. I think we could end the episode here, can't we? Thanks for watching everyone. See you next week. Because, you know, she was in such turmoil last year. She was. And it was all a lot. And now she's had a second baby. Albie. Feels at peace. I love that name as well. It's so cute. And it's just kind of all come full circle. And I like that your husband's let you use Albie as well.

33:17I know. It's beautiful. He's so supportive. He was always supportive. And it sounds like you've got a good therapist there. It does. Sat right here. Also was, let's face it. Right. Oh, wow. Thank you, Sarah. Yeah. I can't believe that. No, we need to tell Lydia. It's amazing. On Albert's birthday. Wow. You can't write it. Because I bet when you were like, oh my God, I'm due in August. Oh, freaky. Yeah, freaky. And then for it to happen. And I wonder if that was your due date or if he came early or late. But the fact that he came on that day is crazy. It just makes so much sense. Of course it does.

33:49Of course it does. Of course he arrived then. I can't wait till he starts talking, Sarah. Me bloody too. I think we're going to learn even more. But that will bring you even more peace though, Sarah. It will make you feel so lovely, right? Even more. He's going to be wise beyond his wildest years, isn't he? Maybe he's going to marry Victoria Yeah Yeah, he might find a lady called Victoria Or he might find whoever's Victoria's got Isn't that nicer that we are going to come back? It's lovely, yeah That's actually a really nice thought But what if this I'm going to come back and haunt everyone All my ex-lovers What if this isn't life?

34:20What if this isn't life number one? It's not Can't be I wonder what we've done before I know, I wish we could tap into that There's got to be someone we can talk to about that There's got to be someone we can talk to Well, apparently Isn't that what ashwagandha does? Opens up the portals Who's that? That's a drug Ashwagandha is what Catherine Piaz takes Takes her to another dimension Really? Yeah, those drugs Maybe we should experiment I don't know, let's not, I don't think so We'll save that for our next life Yeah So you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays? Why would I be?

35:01Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready. What if Mike brings his cheerful dogs? My tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is. But what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one? We'll see how extendable this extendable table really is. And extra chairs are on the way. Okay.

37:01next dilemma here today sticking sticking on theme with the ghosting absolutely we've got he ghosted me after saying i love you oh for god's sake it's just like ridiculous it like surely because also surely if i'm feeling it how are you not how are you not because obviously to get me here we've obviously you know we've done a lot of things we've had our trials and tribulations you know like to get me to fall in love with you like I'm sure we've been up to lovely things you'd hope that it was you've been saying some nice things you must have been looking in my eyes in some sort of way yeah if I felt it and felt the strong urge to tell you and you don't feel it too what in the world what's gone wrong but also you're just an actor then eh my dilemma is a strange one but here we go.

37:49In November 2023, I decided to download Bumble to see what was out there because I was a lonely girl and I thought, why not? I ended up matching with a boy. Let's call him Brian. I messaged him. We hit it off and moved over to Snapchat. Yes, I know Snapchat, not the best move, but we were texting every day, which included flirty texts, plans to meet up, and just general chit chat. In June 2024, the chat fizzled out, which led to him completely ghosting me with no explanation. I don't think they've met. So we were chatting from November to June. Then he ghosted. Bear in mind, we never actually met.

38:33Got it. To this, I was like, okay, fair enough. Everything happens for a reason. And I simply moved on. Probably met someone else, whatever. I obviously thought about him a few times. after but nothing major and it wasn't like a heartbreak two weeks ago i woke up to a notification brian has sent you a snap after a year over a year i was very confused it's been months of being ghosted me being me i opened it and the combo started flowing again like time didn't even pass see that's crazy yeah but also it's like you can't choose when you speak like like i'm busy I know. Like, I'm living my life. I was happy.

39:15We were chatting again. And I thought, yay, something might happen this time. I asked him straight up if he was talking to another lass during the time off. To which he said, I'm a dickhead, but I'm not that much of a dickhead. Oh, please. Wait, wait, wait. But we weren't talking for months and months and months. Yeah. You're telling me we're chatting to someone else. I don't believe that. You didn't even meet me in six months. You must have met some other girl. Some other lass. Smell a lassie. Lassie. Two Saturdays ago, he went out with the lads for an all-day sesh. Sesh. And decided to ring me multiple times.

39:49Sesh down at Withers. When he was drunk. He only called me when he was drunk. Brian then ends the phone call and messages me, I love you. Oh, he says it. Yeah. Oh, great. To which I responded, we've not met. That's sweet. Maybe you should go to sleep. Yeah, because he's drunk, of course. thinking it was just an innocent drunk thing. He then voice noted saying, I love you, Sarah.

40:21Which I saved in the chat. That's cute. He also told me his kinks while drunk. Whoa. What were they? And I kind of got the ick. Yeah. A couple of days later, during some flirty banter, I brought the message up and he did not deny the feelings. So I was like, Fine. Is this serious? Oh, but also it's just like, wait, listen. Where do we live? What do you look like? How tall are you? What do you smell like? What do you smell like? You love me. No, you don't. No, you don't. We've not met. They must be young. Take it from us. But also, like, why is his, why, why is instead of this day sesh, she's not thinking, I need to take out Sarah who I'm in love with.

41:09finally we need more like so stupid the Tuesday after we have a lovely convo about us being on the same page meeting up and wanting the same things the next day my message was opened so I did the dreaded thing of double snapping I was again left on opened but also like we've just had a chat about how much we like each other and how we're going to see each other and how we're really looking forward to it and how we've got something really good and at that point I would double snap as well me too you feel confident like yeah where are you what are you doing yeah what are you doing

41:47reply yeah I heard from you in a while yeah yeah like so easy breezy so easy breezy so it is now um a week later oh you're oh Sarah I am blocked on Instagram his insta is now private and we never even communicated on insta i messaged him again he has opened it obviously we never met up or got to a serious point but i was still emotionally invested what i'm asking you girls is why do you think he ghosted me the second time even though he expressed his feelings the night before and how do i get him out of my head Sarah you've been swindled unfortunately to me I think it's definitely in some sort of serious relationship I think it's double life energy it is and it's like maybe they had a little maybe they did break up maybe they were on a break maybe they had a bust up as the young ones say as the young ones do and his first portal call was I know who replies who always replies Sarah let me get my little Sarah fix you know let me swoon her I love you Sarah you know really got you on side again he had his little fun for a little bit you were in the palm Sarah little flirty flirt and he kept you right there by saying it's time to meet up now it's time to fall in love these are my kinks you know I like wits and chains excitement Sarah and you said meet I like canes and chains canes and chains and it was just a bit of fun for him and do you know what they do that in all seriousness Sarah, seriousness, Sarah.

43:34Absolutely. I think the lesson we can take from this, I, cause you've got very emotionally invested here and you've never met this man and it happens like we find ourselves in these situations with modern technology. And I think this could be a lesson for you to in future, when you are like dating, meeting people online, you need to like make sure you have those meetups early on like I don't think you will ever fall into this rabbit hole again no of speaking to someone for like this started in 2023 like I don't think he looked at you and he said I'm just gonna take her for a ride yeah I don't think you will ever find yourself in this situation again where it's been months and you've not met him with it's it's it's here and it's not it's here and it's not because it has mentally drained you yeah and i think you know now that you don't want to fall into this kind of trap and i think what we can generally say now i think we can confidently say if we're ever stuck speaking to a man for six months plus we are never going to meet that man he has no intention of meeting you it's just a little i don't know it's It's a pen pal to him.

44:56It's a pen pal. It's a evening filler for him. It's a she will reply. And that's all it is. It has to be. Yeah, it has to be. So I think even though this was a shit situation for you, Sarah, that's dragged on and it's been really confusing for you, I think, like, let's take the lesson out of it, you know? So, yeah, absolutely. So in our minds, let's picture that he stinks. He stinks. Let's picture his bedroom is fucking filthy. Navy sheets, one pillow. Fucking stains all over the place. You know, disgusting stains. Old toilet roll on the side. Let's picture like the dirtiest tower in the world that he's not washed in like two years.

45:35Oh, that's crispy. He's got feces on it and like his toilet's horrible. Yeah, and then he's got condoms all over the place. No, he's not because he doesn't get any action. No, that's true. But he likes to think he does. And then he eats just like sardines every day. like sardines and rice because he's trying to get gains but he's still a bit skinny like fishing a rice cake yeah so just picture him at his worst and look he's blocked you it's kind of good you never have to stalk him again but absolutely no and you'll never be in this like texting hole again I think because you'll make sure that once you start texting someone there's a date arranged yeah

46:17right we're gonna turn up the ghoulness all right turning up the heat because sarah here has said she's just i mean she kept it quite mysterious and her subject line was ghost story well she's hit the brief we're turning into a ghost story but there's a lot of ghost story lovers who exclusively listen to ghost story podcasts yeah well i think it's quite interesting yeah i do i think it's interesting interesting it's just when i'm then alone in the evenings on my own and I hear you know upstairs stomping around like they do every night it just scared me shit but I will never forget this girl at our school who had a ghost in the house yeah and she would see it on the end of her bed oh and it was an old soldier oh and she saw it in the doorway oh on the end of her bed her mum saw it downstairs oh but they weren't afraid of it even though they appreciated that It was spooky.

47:19They weren't like screaming and terrified. Yeah. Remember? Well, yeah, because it can't hurt you. No. Can it? No. No. It was just like a lost soul that couldn't move on. Well, he must have lived there, right? And you had a ghost in your house as well. Oh, let's not speak of it. Yeah, that's scary. We probably told that story last time. We have, but we can't even talk about that because it does scare me. Because I have to sleep in that house every now and then. Yeah, there is a ghost in it. So Sarah, don't. I've heard it. All right. Spoke to me. And Lydia Baylor solo's seen it. No, you saw it as a child.

47:52I saw it as a child, yeah. Well, it's in Lydia's room. So it's impacted both of us. It's in Lydia's room. Well, I heard it in Mariana's room, but yeah. Oh, yeah. And that knocks me sick. That really scares me so much. It scares me too. It's awful. It was on one I spoke to. Okay. Well, Sarah, this is good. This is probably going to scare us even more. So Sarah says, I'm a nurse in A &E. And also hospitals really scare. Oh my god, you're incredible. I'll shout out to you because the stuff that you've seen and what you have to do in A &E, I can't even imagine. I'm a nurse in A &E and see all sorts of creepy stuff.

48:28Because think old hospitals. Oh gosh. Think how old some of these hospitals are. Long corridors. You know, they're not building new hospitals. There's an old wing. There's an old wing. Yeah, the old wing. The old wing at the back. Yeah. Wing B. Oh, it's in the... Don't walk down there. The old one. So just last night at around 1am, there was no patient in this cubicle. She said very, very rare. And the buzzer went off. So I walked in and it went off straight away. So then I went to sit back down and thought that was weird. Oh my God. But it went off again. So is it in the cubicle, the patient buzzing?

49:11Yeah. Help. Assistance needed. Has assistance needed. yes i want to sit right down what is it don't fall just call that's what the signs say hospitals oh that's lovely don't fall just cool oh that's lovely oh pride of britain has just messaged me they want you to do a piece on me in my old age might tell my life story at the university that's so weird um so i sat back down and thought that was weird but it went off again and i said hello and went went off straight away just to add this buzzer will only go off if it is pressed to call for somebody and the buzzer was not on the floor it was hung up it was hung up on the wall so there's no way it could have been pressed somehow but by mistake no there are so many crazy things i see i've seen i think especially working a and a and predominantly working night shifts oh god another quick example which has happened multiple times where a patient has sadly passed away there is a sudden gust of wind that just blows in your face when you're in the room or cups fall off the table randomly taps come on again just to add there are no windows in any amy room also when there's a death a gust of wind goes through the hallways and cups are flying off the wall sarah it's a hazard oh my god taps turning on well my dad in his old salon you know the scary i'll never forget it what are you what's your memory when the blinds were rolled down i said why have you done that he said i didn't so they were up the blinds were down i don't remember that then there was that chest of drawers was pushed against I was like, did you do that?

50:58The chest of drawers against the window. And you were like, no. We were like, we need to get out. Because basically, so dad had this salon and it was about four. How many stories? It had so many floors. It had a few stories. Yeah. And then we would know more than me. On the weekends, on a Sunday, because it was quite aesthetic for, you know, for. It was. Back in the day, when we were like 17, we would go into the salon after hours and film some videos for our first blog. Yeah, film YouTube videos. Yeah. Because they had a nice fireplace. It looked nice. Nice backdrop. And it was so scary letting ourselves into that salon, those back stairs.

51:32The back stairs, yeah. And then going out the back there was so scary. And then a few times, because on each floor, Dad had a buzzer. You could buzz to each floor. Oh my God, I remember that. Yeah, buzz to each floor. And it'd be like, oh, so you could call the floor. Obviously, in the olden days before, I don't know, there was mobile phones, obviously. They had the buzzers. Was I just having a radio? Yeah, because I used to have to answer the phone and it'd be like, can you bring up some more bleach? You know, we need some more towels up here. Because it was multi-story. And then many occasions where dad was there alone and the buzzer would go off.

52:08And it's like, no one's here. The phone's ringing from floor four. Yeah, no one's here. How fucking scary. And then like the plumber's got stories where he was very scared at the salon and saw and heard things. and then when we were there we were filming in there all the blinds were up because we wanted the light yeah and then we won i must have gone to the toilet or something i came back and the one of the blinds was down i was like why put that blind down why don't i have this memory and you were like i haven't and i was like well the blinds down there oh and then there was a big chest of drawers that was like really weirdly placed in front of this window and i was like that wasn't there a minute why is that there and it was just there oh i don't like it and anyway he hasn't got that salon anymore so we don't have to go there anymore thank god but that it was haunted it was scary at night i quite like hearing ghost stories do you really i don't know kind of yeah yeah i do i find them quite interesting do you think it do you think it's a nice thought that you might want be a ghost one day no and i don't have any desire i think i would be terrified of a ghost oh god i think i'll be absolutely terrified yeah but there's something about hearing the story that i'm just like it gives me some sort of like peace in a way that i'm like oh there's more yeah true like oh we're gonna live on a little bit kind of it intrigues me a little bit yeah oh that's nice yeah that's lovely thank you well we're close to our dance we'll find out soon we'll find out yeah closer than you think

53:45right our final one here today and it's look how long it is oh it's me too we've got a lot to get through hi safirian chintzia thank you for being my wednesday besties oh thank you sarah i have been binge listening to all your episodes and recently heard one about a woman in love with a ghost albert albert's here today and we love him and we appreciate him i think i have a story from the other perspective oh my god this is fantastic victoria victoria she's the wife she was well she was the queen of course she was our queen's mother i think our queen's grandma our queen's mom whoa or grandma i'm not i'm not the historian of the family as we all know I have been with my boyfriend for seven years and we've built what I thought was a solid life together.

54:42She's 27. Yeah, beautiful. We've bought some properties, made future plans and maintained a relationship that's always felt grounded and dependable. That's a really lovely way to describe a healthy relationship. Dependable. Yeah. Over the past five months though He started going on occasional Friday and Saturday Nights I'm going out I think she means Claiming he's meeting friends At bars or clubs But one of my close friends Who's dating one of his mates Told me Their group hasn't gone out At all on those nights Oh my god He's going to sleep with a ghost isn't he i think he could be yeah and no i genuinely i think he is oh my god initially i thought he might be cheating so i checked his phone but found nothing suspicious then i decided to follow him one night and discovered he went to a restaurant alone shut this is actually really scary.

55:48After he left, I approached the receptionist and asked about his reservation. They informed me he had booked a table for two. For him and Victoria. No, I'm going to be sick. For him in the spirit. I'm going to be sick. The next time he said he was going out, I checked his call records and called the restaurant he was going to. Again, a table for two. Sophia, shut up. I asked a friend to visit the restaurant. No. She reported back that once again he was alone. Oh. After discussing the matter with close friends I decided to confront him directly. Well yeah, this is your partner of seven years. Yeah, and it's like what are you doing?

56:29You're telling me you're going out with the boys. They've not been out in six months. No, you're lying to me. And you're sat alone at dinner with a table for two. I could be sat there. Well yeah, take me out for dinner. You could be sharing a tiramisu. But the question is, is there a plate of food for Victoria? Is there? And is it being ate? is it getting ate is the fork being picked up do you know what I mean floating fork is he taking a picture and putting that in the seat maybe because what's she eating I guess she is eating I guess she doesn't need food I guess she can't eat because she's not growing yeah she doesn't need nutrition she's dead unfortunately yeah well not no fortunately for you Sarah she's dead So she's decided to confront him directly.

57:15It needs to happen. He confessed. Oh my God. This is actually mental. No, this is real. It's actually mental. No, go on. Actually imagine this. No, no, no. He confessed. I've been with you for seven years. You're taking the piss. We're settled at this point. What, what, what? He confessed he'd been going on dates with someone else. A spirit. She said a spirit? No, that was my ad-lib Alright So he's just saying I'll be going for dinner with someone And you're like, alright, who? Taken aback I asked Well, why have you been dining alone? Oh my god He Oh my god Oh my god This is actually crazy Yeah, no, I don't like it I don't like it No, this is actually crazy I don't like it He explained This is a movie This is Yeah Nicolas Cage, take notes He explained that in November 2024 He began experiencing vivid dreams In which a woman appeared After that he felt her presence around him And they started going on dates together Wow Imagine receiving those words So not only can men cheat on us with other women They can also cheat on us with AI spiritual beings anime AI and anime fuck the list is never ending it's actually ridiculous wait so cause like even yeah you're cheating on me you've asked this lady on a date yeah you're having an emotional affair whether she's here or not that's irrelevant you're sat in the restaurant you didn't go oh leave me alone I've got a girlfriend you said I want to take you on a date you're out what I'm gonna leave Sarah at home a partner of seven years and I'm gonna lie to her I'm gonna lie to her yeah And I'm going to go out with you instead.

59:09Well, you're cheating on me then. Yeah. How do you think this relationship's going to progress? How? How? Oh, you can't kiss her. Or can you? Maybe he can. Oh, God. Maybe he thinks he can. Well, he must have sensed her. He must have sensed her. Maybe it's that kind of like phantom touch. Yeah. Oh, my God. Right. I need to go on then. Even before we began dating I was aware of his interest in spirits Okay, so this hasn't come out of the blue then This has always been Brian's fantasy It's always been his kink Oh God I bet Halloween's a great time for you guys Sure, sure you've met a lady in your dreams Sure, sure He'd always been open about his beliefs And I respected his perspective I would love to have heard his opinions on the Prince Albert dialogue Likewise we should get him in.

1:00:03I don't want to meet this man. He could bring his lady friend. Imagine. Imagine. I think that I too believe in spirits and past lives. Yeah. He claimed the woman he had been dating was the love of his life from a past existence. Someone who had tragically passed away.

1:00:30Right, okay How do you take that? It's a lot to carry That's a lot to carry How do you Because I'm jealous I would feel jealous at that No? Me too Because you're saying that In every life that you have This is the love of your life This is the love of your life So who am I? I am not So I need to go find the love of my life Because you've already got one You're seeing the love of your life What the fuck? pretty powerful from the woman though to still be the one of his life as a ghost and to pull him away from a human pull him away from a human lady she must be someone special lord right okay um I pressed him further seeking more details about this mysterious woman yeah so you're not scared I'd be so scared he revealed that her name was Mal I was waiting for Vic Malvina beautiful name Crutz Mrs.

1:01:32Crutz Malvina Crutz oh Malvina shall I look her up shall I look her up when I inquired whether he loved Malvina you've got my phone I was just looking at my phone I was like he responded Malvina where's she from I've never heard that name before Malvina Crutz sounds German Cruts Or she sounds Scandinavian She could be Scandinavian She could be from Copenhagen Yeah No My spirit loves her But my subconscious Loves you Well now you're just getting a bit fancy with it right I felt the need to distance myself Yeah And process everything Yeah I understand that I checked into a hotel Well Well Okay So she said look It's getting serious You know Malvina's in like this is all a lot for me.

1:02:26Give me some fucking space. Yeah, I've just learned about Malvina. I've been with you for seven years. It'd be different maybe if he said, oh my God, I had a fucking wild dream last night. Yeah. You know, and was telling you as it was happening, but he was lying to you. And if you'd never called him out, like how long has he been doing this for? Well, next thing you know, he would have bought a house of Malvina. She's checked into a hotel. I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that something was amiss. Oh, still? Just like this? Yeah, okay. In the hotel. Oh. Oh, no. Malvina's here. She's strangling you.

1:03:02Determined to uncover the truth, I decided to investigate further. I spent hours researching online, delving into news articles and forums. Okay, good. To my astonishment, Malvina Crutz was a real person. A woman found brutally murdered in her Indianapolis home in 1958. That's fucking 10 years ago. Her case remains unsolved to this day. That is not long ago. 1950 is not long ago. Prince Albert was born in 1816. He was. Because I just looked it up. Mere decades ago. Like when my mum was born. Basically the 1960s, that's our parents' decade. And she was an American lady. In Indianapolis. Despite numerous leads and suspects over the years, including her estranged husband and a man named James Rogers, who later recanted his confession, the identity of her killer remains a mystery.

1:04:03I don't like this. Maybe it's your partner in a past life. It is. And he feels bad. Oh my God, Sophia, it is because the first suspect when the woman has been murdered is her husband. And by the way from Brian right now, this is more serious than we thought. I think it could be. I am currently sitting in the hotel bathroom writing this email. I still love my boyfriend, but I'm unsure how to navigate this complex situation. Yes. Is this cheating? Should I break up with him? Or try to work through this. I'm seeking advice on how to organize my feelings and approach this conversation with him again.

1:04:50Just want my favorite girls to help me gain some clarity. P.S. On a weird note, my boyfriend's middle name is James.

1:05:04James is a common name. Yeah, James is especially here. Especially here. I've known lots of Jameses. But James Rogers, who recanted his confession. So what does recant mean, sorry? Withdraw. Withdrew. So he confessed to the crime. So he withdrew his confession. So our Sarah's hunch here is that I think my James murdered Vibina. We've got a murder mystery. Right. In the cloakroom with the candlestick. Yeah, I like what you did. and we've got a black and white photo of Malvina Crutz can I just say Sarah I've got a picture of you two you both look incredibly attractive let me see like genuinely genuinely he is handsome and she is stunning let's see Dr.

1:06:00James the murderer just look at this couple you're not ready you're not ready oh my god it's like a movie campaign It's like a campaign. I wasn't expecting James to look like that. Me neither. At all. Stunning. I mean, beauty. Why don't you get that out from Sarah? Sarah, you're gorgeous. And here's Malvina. Traditional for the 1950s. Yeah. Malvina looks awfully like you, Sarah. Not seeing the link. Right. Right. So this has kind of just been discovered by Sarah. Oh my God, we're going to have an update in a year's time. Do you understand this? Yeah, next Halloween's going to be crazy. Right, seriously, I think...

1:06:48This isn't for me. Brian. Personally. Yeah. If my boyfriend of seven years was going on dates alone in restaurants and claiming to be there with an old spirit that was the love of his life... And naming her. And naming her. I appreciate it but that is just not for me oh me neither I I would not enjoy that I would not want to deal with that that is something that would like I would really struggle to like deal with that situation and kind of validate it I would be like are you joking like come on well because now we're kind of entering like some sort of weird open relationship kind of Where I'm going to have, we're going to have to put some rules into place as to what I'm comfortable with.

1:07:38Because when we're having sex, you're thinking about Malvina. Or she's here. Or she's here. I don't know when she's here. I don't know when she's touching you. No. Or whispering in your ear. No. Do you know what I mean? I think, I don't know what you and Malvina talk about. Our Sarah seems a bit more understanding of spirits and stuff. She does. She's been with this James for seven years and he's always been interested in this shit. So, she's a bit like she was asking questions already she was open she wasn't scared by it she was like more open open and intrigued but i think you i think jane i'm calling him james because that's his middle name is azazia he needs to just kind of figure out what he wants here like what what outcome do you want here because we can't have a i don't want to be in a relationship where I'm having to say goodbye to you on a Friday night because you're going to go hang out with another woman of spirit form.

1:08:33With Malvina. With Malvina. Next thing you know, he's going to be buying some Ribena and Riveeta biscuits. What if we have to now have a third seat at the table for Malvina? Well, yeah, because we don't, because this is going to, like, what if when we go on holiday, we're buying a third ticket for Malvina? This has obviously hit James. He feels like he has to explore this connection with Riveena. Malvina. Malvina. Like, do you know what I mean? With Riveeta. He feels like he needs to explore it. Yeah. And keep it a secret from you. Keep it hush hush. Yeah. So I think if it was me. Is Malvina telling him to keep it hush hush?

1:09:08Probably. I've got a problem with you. I've got a big problem with Malvina. Because she's come back to disrupt what you guys have got. Maybe you and Malvina need to have it out. I wonder what they talk about. That's what's scaring me. Do they talk about you? I don't think so. I think they're talking about what happened before with the murder. Why did you murder me? Because surely that's why she's back. You murdered me, James. or why didn't you save me whoever murdered me it was a crime of passion yeah like why why did I die and she's here for answers that's the only thing she is here for answers from James and he knows his spirit knows but how many dates do we need exactly I'd be having it out with Malvina if I were you she'll strangle you she's a ghost what's she gonna do she'll do something scary I tell ya Well, then James is going to be put to the test.

1:09:59Whose side are you on? If this was genuinely me, I've just received this information and I've gone to the hotel. My next conversation with James would be, look, you need, if you need to go on this journey and explore this, fine. But I can't, I don't want to have a part in it. Discover what you need to discover. Put to bed what needs to be put to bed. kind of like prince al but like she kind of had to go on that journey to say look be gone now and but i think malvina's here for some answers let's let her get she's not going to leave unless she gets her answers i guess so she's got all the time in the world yeah like she she yeah she's not going to leave unless she gets what she's after so you need to say to james nip this in the bud tie this in a bow because i don't this can't go on at the end of the day you've lied to me you're like cheating on me like you've said you've been going for dinner with another woman like it's weird and i think also the big point here for me would be okay if i'm gonna think she's gonna be here forever malvina she if you guys get another 10 years you're gonna be talking about malvina every other day i think baby girl arrives what name is he she's gonna be born she's gonna have been born on malvina's birthday or or the anniversary of her death day isn't she of course she is she is yeah do you want a lifetime of that Malvina will have plenty of relatives alive on this day she was only died a couple years ago I know she's so current but he murdered her that's what our Sarah's just discovered it was a man called James siblings are definitely still alive oh yeah oh yeah 100 % her parents could still be alive Malvina's parents could still be on this planet.

1:11:52They could be. Yes, they could. They could just be. Yeah. Just. Like us, we're hanging on. Yeah, yeah. So like, does he need to go to Indianapolis? That's my question. Yeah. Tie up some loose ends. Do you know what? That's how, yeah, go to where he used to live with Malvee. And I think if you're going to go, I think if you're going to take this seriously. Because we have to take it seriously. Out of Prince Albert Lady's book. Then I think you need to, the most important thing that I would be saying is, you can't lie to me you know while this is going on you've told me now about Malvina yeah thank you I now like she should no longer be a secret if you're going out with Malvina I need to know that you're going out with Malvina and also I want to know what you're talking about you need to be open to me about this show me the receipts yeah because if I'm signing up for a life with you I need to know what the hell is going on in your brain 100 % and we need to try and fix this so we're all going to take a family trip Malvina's going to get on the plane and we're going to go to Indianapolis and we're going to go to the house, see where she was murdered and retrace all her footsteps, see where she was born and everything.

1:12:57And go on that family tree website. What's it called? Yeah, absolutely. Whatever that's called. See if it brings James some sort of peace because why are you here to explore Malveen? Like, I think it can't go on into 2026. We'll nip it in the bud in December. Come on. I agree. Like, come on. Ghost busters. Yeah, absolutely. who are you gonna call because Malvina we appreciate all the hardships you went through we absolutely appreciate but you can't stay here for too long fortunately unfortunately yeah that's where the crumbles cheers cheers guys cheers to Halloween 2025 cheers to SBF SBF let me now work that out SBF SBF What earth is that?
