00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.920
the broadcast studio static.
16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:05.239
All right, we are live, and make sure we're not streaming.
17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.719
I've done that before. All right, everybody, welcome to Broadcasting Seeds.
18
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.920
We've got Megan Liota with us today and she's gonna
19
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:19.920
tell us who she is and what she does.
20
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:25.040
Yeah, thanks, so right now, I'm a podcaster. I have
21
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.719
a podcast called The Infernal Machine Podcast on the fund
22
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:33.159
YouTube Spotify. Our routes, I typically focus on national security
23
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.920
staff policy staff. I'm branching out a little bit more
24
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.319
of a national security background. But I have a lot
25
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.159
of weird experiences in my life. And since it's October,
26
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.920
I've been trying to get someone, well, yes it is
27
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.519
October today, I've been trying to get someone spooky on
28
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.120
my podcast, but everybody's booked. So I'm glad to come
29
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.239
on here and talk about spooky stuff and maybe that'll
30
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:59.760
oh cure my itch for sure.
31
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.920
So you you've said that you've got some So basically,
32
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:10.520
I what what is your gateway into this world of
33
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.039
high strangeness. I know you've talked about you know, you
34
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:19.280
and I have had conversations offline, but I kind of
35
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.719
start where this all started, I guess.
36
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.400
So I've had experiences, I guess kind of my whole life.
37
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.960
I know one of the one of the stories that
38
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.800
my family tells, So I grew up in a really
39
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.319
old house. It actually used to be a general store
40
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.879
that was converted into a house in like the nineteen forties.
41
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.360
I think it was moved to its current location, and
42
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.639
my great great or great great great and uncle turned
43
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.159
it into a house and my grandmother loved next door
44
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.840
and she was visiting. She was talking to my mom
45
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.800
in the living room and I was maybe who in
46
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.319
a half and I came out of my bedroom and
47
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.280
was like, oh, the man walks through the wall. And
48
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:17.759
my parents, my mom and my grandmother were like, what man?
49
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.759
And I was like, here's a man. He's in my
50
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.599
living room and he's sitting or he's in my bedroom
51
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:23.759
and he was talking to me and he just walked
52
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.400
through the wall. He left, and I described him, and
53
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:32.520
apparently I described my uncle the same was Uncle Dunk.
54
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:38.400
Do you and see? But he died probably ten years
55
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.759
before I was ever born, and he lived in the house.
56
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:48.800
And it's just been weird, Like I would hear whistling
57
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:51.159
a lot when I was a kid when there was
58
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.199
nobody there and like.
59
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.400
Whistling where like in the house or like no.
60
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.879
So yeah, well so we lived. I lived on a
61
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.960
like a two thousand acre cotton farm that my family
62
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.800
has been sharecropping. They didn't own it, but they've been
63
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:16.199
sharecropping it since they like inn to late eighteen hundreds
64
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.160
and the house was moved to where an old house was,
65
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:27.240
and I would just hear, like outside just walking around here, whistling,
66
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.319
and it would always sound like it came from right
67
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.519
near me, and it was. It was not wind. It
68
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.319
was a tune, and I wish I could remember it,
69
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.279
but I can't anymore. And I remember telling my parents
70
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.240
about it, and my dad was like, good, that's that's
71
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.199
where my uncle used to keep the mules for the
72
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.519
plow and he would whistle that tune all the time.
73
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:57.639
And I'd come from Welsh and Scottish and Irish ancestors,
74
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:03.160
and so my family loved spooky staff in great storytellers.
75
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.199
And so that's like Appalachia, but you're not an Appalachia,
76
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.040
but you're not like, yeah, you're not that far from Appalachia.
77
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.879
So that's what I was asking about the whistling, because
78
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.759
sometimes you know, if you're do not go towards the whistling,
79
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.720
or don't whistle back, but either way, really, yeah, so
80
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.600
so this is a So this was a tune? Was
81
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.480
it the same uncle or a different uncle?
82
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.439
Same uncle? So I don't know what's up with him.
83
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:33.759
He's got issues, I guess.
84
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.920
I guess, right, Yeah.
85
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:44.199
But I remember, maybe seventh grader, was in middle school,
86
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:50.040
and it was late at night and I had my
87
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.160
bedroom line on. I went into my bedroom and grabbed
88
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.279
something and then turned the light off. And my dad
89
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.000
had like a shop light hung outside in a tree
90
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.839
behind the house. And you know, you turn the lights
91
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.720
on and you can't see outside in the dark, and
92
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.920
then you turn them off and you can. And there
93
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.000
was a man standing like aut my window looking in.
94
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.160
Of course, I freaked outful my dad, but there was
95
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.839
nobody there. It was just a black figure. And I
96
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.319
would kind of see that at various points throughout my life,
97
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:29.800
just like this black shadow man. And there was always
98
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.199
weird stuff in my house. I would always hear knocks,
99
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:37.000
like when we moved back from DC. We stayed in
100
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.040
that house for a few months while we were waiting
101
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.800
to buy one here, and at three o'clock in the
102
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:47.199
night we'd wake up. But I would hear like three wraps,
103
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.480
like a space a certain amount of parts. And I
104
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.839
was in a shower one time and something flew across
105
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.560
the wall. And I don't know why, but none of
106
00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:01.240
this ever scared me. It was even an inconvenience, it
107
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.560
was it was nothing. It was just like, huh, the
108
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.600
man outside the window. That freaked me out, She said,
109
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.240
I thought that there was a man out time my window.
110
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:15.720
But everything else that's ever happened kind of it was
111
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.279
just whatever.
112
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.720
So was it like a shadow man, like a shadow
113
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.160
figure like you hear about that, or was it like
114
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.639
did you see like texture like face and.
115
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.199
Oh? Well, I guess maybe in between.
116
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.439
Because but you could tell it was a man.
117
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.240
It was like solid, yes, but I couldn't. There was
118
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.360
no softness, no blurrness, no whatever. But I could not
119
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:51.680
see like any kind of clothing. I couldn't see any
120
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.800
a hat face. No, I couldn't tell a hat. It
121
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.720
was just a like literally what you see when you
122
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.279
google shadow man. It was just at a person, but
123
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:06.319
it looked solid. But also the light was behind him
124
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.399
and the way that it was hung up. I don't
125
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.240
know that I could have I don't know how much
126
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.759
I could have seen either. But our backyard we had
127
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:20.360
really big trees in it, big the countries, and so
128
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.720
we didn't have a lot of grass, and it had
129
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.240
been raining a lot, and there were no footprints, which
130
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.120
there would have been. There was you know, it was muddy.
131
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.279
There was nothing to indicate that anybody had ever been there.
132
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:36.600
But I knew that I that I taught, so that
133
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.440
was kind of I guess that's just kind of been
134
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:44.399
in the background my whole life, and that I got
135
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:49.519
married to my husband almost thirteen years ago. Now I
136
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:56.639
was raised Southern Baptist and my husband is Catholic, and yes,
137
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.399
like completely different worlds. So this whole thing of spiritual
138
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.279
warfare and angels and demons and demonic influence and all
139
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.879
of these other things that is not something that has
140
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:15.960
talked about period in Baptist churches. And I thought my
141
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.759
husband was kind of crazy during the longest time, right,
142
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:25.200
and then we started to kind of good and bad
143
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:29.120
things kind of started to happen, but specifically when I
144
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:35.519
started to shift towards like more back towards religion, the
145
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:40.200
bad things started to happen. It's creepy.
146
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:46.480
Yeah, So so that was about what got married thirteen
147
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:53.159
years ago. And then so do you still have any
148
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.600
of the like like the man like, do you feel
149
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:01.440
like anything has followed you? Kind of like a hitchhiker
150
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:02.039
kind of?
151
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:10.639
I used to. I used to a lot, especially when
152
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:16.159
I was younger. I lived by myself and I lived
153
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.159
in kind of a dangerous area. But it's always been
154
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:23.840
I'm a very logical person, yep, and so it's always
155
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.080
been you know, how much of this is paranoia calls
156
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.559
by my environment or my surroundings versus how much of
157
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:37.639
this is legitimate. I can remember I lived in this
158
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:42.000
very horrible area in Georgia and it was a very
159
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:47.320
high crime area. I was super stressed, and I started
160
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.639
to kind of see this figure again, and sometimes I
161
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.960
would hear things. But I was living by myself, and
162
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.320
I was my sleep patterns, like I was sleeping during
163
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.120
the day because it was so terrified to fall asleep
164
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.960
at night that someone may break in. So, you know,
165
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:06.600
it's kind of how much of this is real and
166
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:11.799
how much of this is just high stress and lack
167
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.559
of sleep. Yeah, but now we live in a house now,
168
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.399
and now I have and so I have a I'm
169
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.200
like Catholic light, I think, Yeah, I have a rosary
170
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.080
that I wear every day. And I bought it because
171
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.840
of the weird stuff that was going on. And this
172
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.720
was maybe a year and a half ago that I
173
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.840
bought it, and ever since then it has pretty much
174
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.960
calmed down. I don't really have anything spooky or scary anymore.
175
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:49.600
I'm not really afraid anymore either.
176
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:56.720
So what does your husband think?
177
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.759
My husband, so I thought I was crazy. I was like,
178
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:10.320
I think there may there may be like a demon
179
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.159
or something, and he was like, yeah, those are real,
180
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.000
They're like all around us all the time. Yeah, and
181
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.000
that it was such a foreign and bizarre and insane
182
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.480
concept to me that this could even be a thing
183
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.120
that exists, because it's you know, Southern Baptist preachers are
184
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:34.039
fire and brimstone, and that's that's exclusively what they focus
185
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.320
on is you're going to go to hell, don't But
186
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:43.120
nothing about really the present world is just follow God
187
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:49.159
and you know you'll you'll be You're golden forever and
188
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.679
ever you can get, you know, baptized in fourth grade
189
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.720
like I did, and then completely fall to the wayside.
190
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.159
But you know, baptized in fourth grade, so you're good,
191
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.679
You're going to have any all say seemed kind of
192
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:06.200
weird to me, and I never really understood that. But yeah,
193
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.440
this is is a whole world that I kind of
194
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.799
learned about, I guess a year and a half ago.
195
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:23.679
Now, goodness, excuse me, So, so what what kind of
196
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.679
started this whole thing? The the demon thing, like what,
197
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:30.440
why why would you think that?
198
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.360
Well, I will start first with the good story that
199
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:44.879
I have that made me think that it's not always
200
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.279
black and white. Right. So when we learned to Virginia,
201
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.720
we lived in a super rich area called Great Falls.
202
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.519
It's right outside of DC. We landed all old house
203
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.759
from like nineteen forty. It was adorable little Tudor cottage.
204
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:11.440
So it was the first Postmaster of Great Falls lived there,
205
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:16.039
built the house, and weird stuff happened in that house,
206
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.639
Like I caner. I was taking a shower one time
207
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:23.519
and it was just me and my daughter, who was
208
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.919
maybe a year and a half at the time, and
209
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:29.759
the house was like sixteen hundred square feet. It was tiny,
210
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.360
but it was spread across three floors. And then my
211
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.159
husband was there and we had a German shepherd. And
212
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.320
I was taken a shower one time and I I
213
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:42.360
heard like noises banging around and I didn't think anything
214
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:46.720
about it, and I thought it was my husband messing
215
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:48.519
with me, and so I just ignored it and ignored it.
216
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:53.000
And I literally heard something almost like jokingly go boo,
217
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.440
and I was like And so I got out of
218
00:14:55.480 --> 00:15:01.480
the shower and my husband wasn't there. My daughter was
219
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.879
in bed. My husband had gone to the grocery store
220
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.159
and so he hadn't been there for you know, forty
221
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.000
five minutes, and I was like, well, that's weird, and
222
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:14.879
I just got back in the shower. But this house
223
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.879
that we had lived in, all my neighbors houses were
224
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.799
you know, ten fifteen to twenty million dollar massive estates,
225
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.559
and everyone had a ritzy sports car. And I say
226
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.080
all that because where we lived, we lived at the
227
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.240
bottom of a hill and right past the turn. So
228
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.799
we had to replace our mailbox like four times because
229
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.639
somebody and a Lamborghini would just knocket over, you know,
230
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.440
trying to test the car out because it was kind
231
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.919
of a you know, empty road and right anyway. But
232
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.840
I had gone to the store one time and my
233
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:58.840
husband called me panic freaked out because he was watching
234
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:05.159
something in the sink and he heard something over like
235
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.000
in his ear he heard a woman yell Michael. And
236
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:13.399
the only people that call my husband Michael is me.
237
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:18.399
Sometimes he goes by Mike, but me and an aunt
238
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.519
of his that passed away probably well we were in
239
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.159
we just met so thirteen fourteen years ago now, and
