Chapter 2: Who are the hosts of this episode?
She tried to FaceTime them. I said, you're going to give them a fucking heart attack. They're older people. We can't do that to them. This is a look.
A Luke. A Luke, if you will. I've been sorry. I'm going to mess with this. You're sorry! With my hair. I'm sorry! Because this is really, this is really something. I spit on my face. Oh my God. We have Nicholas here.
Oh, she says you look good. Oh, listen, you guys look good. Maybe because I spit on my own face also. If you're not watching this on YouTube and you're listening to it, don't forget. These are on YouTube now. Listener Tales are on YouTube. And we dress up. And today we're dressed up like people from The Craft. Yeah, you don't want to miss this. You really don't. Mostly for Elena's giddy up.
Giddy up.
Giddy up, giddy up. Yeah, I even did the black eyebrows in case... With eyeliner? You did.
To color over, you know? Did you ever have like a goth phase like that? I never had this. You had like an emo phase.
Yeah, I had an emo phase, I think, in like my soft goth. So soft goth era. This, I never had this phase. When she first put the wig on? I respect this phase. I just can't pull this phase off. Maybe in another life. Yeah, I think I'm made to have the hair I have. I'm made to have the eyebrows I have.
It's because your features are so tiny and all of the goth things are so harsh that it's like too much. I can't pull it off. But you still look good in a weird, scary way. I don't know.
I sent a picture to John. He has not responded yet. And he's right downstairs.

Chapter 3: What spooky stories are shared in Listener Tales?
And that it would keep me safe, but to make sure no one but myself would touch it. At first, I thought it was a joke and she just didn't want me to lose it. But boy, was I wrong. One day, a couple of weeks before I moved for college, I was driving around with one of my friends. We'll call her Asia. And she asked me about the jar.
At first, I was calm and explained what it was until I noticed Asia holding the jar. I wasn't too worried at first, but let her know no one else was supposed to touch it. That night, I called my mom and told her what happened. When I tell you, this lady freaked the fuck out. Or nor. Any Hispanic listeners will understand when their moms get upset. Yeah. Hispanics are naturally loud but angry.
Oh, dear. I definitely held onto my butt after that. My mom starts telling me, don't worry, it'll be okay, and just do exactly what I say. Reminder, she isn't even in the same state as I am at the time. She's 15 hours away and expects her half-brained daughter to perform witchcraft over the phone? You got me fucked up.
So she instructs me to pour out the contents and replace the rice and place the contents back in the jar and say a certain phrase or prayer, if you will. Again, at this moment, I just thought she... Please go. We're almost done. We're almost done. Nicholas knows we have a very busy day today. Yeah, he's like, you have a meeting. He's like, move it along.
Again, at this moment, I just thought she was some crazy superstitious lady and assured her I did what she asked me to do and called it a night. But did I actually? Absolutely not. I know. What the fuck? Sort of like when you burn yourself with hot oil and oil splatters everywhere. That was the best way to describe that. I could picture it so easily.
At that moment, I knew I should have listened to the crazy Bruja witch in Spanish. I love how much Bruja, Brujeria, and Bruja magic we're getting. So fun. A brouhaha. After it was all said and done, I told Asia about the whole ordeal and she yelled at me for letting her touch the jar in the first place. She gets it.
To my mom, if you hear this, never trust your daughter or any of your children for that matter with some witchy shit I'm not responsible enough for. But I will never ever doubt you again. Thank you for reading my text. Cursed! Oh no. Thank you for reading my tale and I hope it wasn't too long. And if this made it to the pod, I will lose my marbles. Anyway, keep it weird, but not so weird that.
Take it away, Ash.
Not so weird that your mom makes you a spell jar and then you let other people touch it after she told you not to touch it and then you get clusterfucks of burns on your chest.
