| 0:00.0 | Today on the Grave Talks, Beacon to the Dead, a conversation with Alex Matsuo. |
| 0:09.3 | Sometimes you find the spirits and sometimes they find you. Alex Matsuo is a person who has spent |
| 0:15.5 | her life doing both, both as an investigator and living her everyday life. Today we hear about her close encounters with her own death |
| 0:23.1 | and the spirits that may have found her to be a beacon since on the grave talks. |
| 0:28.6 | That's an interesting question. So for about a good year, |
| 0:32.5 | I was looking for available places in the state of North Carolina |
| 0:37.2 | that were accessible to, you know, |
| 0:39.4 | multiple teams, basically anybody, because in North Carolina, a lot of the locations, they have |
| 0:46.6 | exclusive contracts with teams, so they're not always available to the public. So I was trying |
| 0:51.5 | to find this place. So that was one big reason why the trivic |
| 0:55.0 | clinic appealed to me was because it was available. And there was no team or group or person |
| 1:01.0 | that had quote unquote ownership of the space. So that was a big draw for me. But also after |
| 1:08.0 | the first investigation there, I mean, for the most part, there wasn't a lot of |
| 1:12.2 | activity, but then we had one moment where, you know, I was listening to the, to the recording |

| 1:23.9 | We were trying to play tag with the, with one of the child spirits in the basement. And I said, touch one of us. Let us know who's it. And you hear this little voice go, tag. So I was hooked after that. What about Yotsie? Have you ever tried playing Yotsie with the ghosts? That would be. You know, believe it or not, I've never actually played Vyazzi, so I would need to learn how to play it before trying to play with it with a ghost. |
| 1:51.1 | Give me some of the background of the trivet clinic. I mean, tell me the history as far as you know what. |
| 1:56.0 | How far does it go back? Let's take it to the beginning and kind of go through its lifespan and how we got to where |
| 2:01.4 | it is today from 2018 when you started looking into it. Yes, so the Trivick Clinic has one of the most |
| 2:07.9 | interesting histories of any location that I've been to. So it was built and opened in 1932 by a |
| 2:15.1 | doctor named Dr. William Amos Trivet. And he had been studying medicine. |
| 2:21.3 | He studied medicine, I believe, in Baltimore and Virginia and was kind of going all over |
