Welcome everybody to a very special episode of somewhere in the spooky skies.

Joining me today is no stranger to the show. You know him from Rogue Planet. You know him from so many other projects as well and while we usually talk about UFOs in aliens, we are taking a departure this week to talk about supernatural spooky stuff, some of our own personal stories and ones that we find extremely unsettling, weird and creepy. And that person I'm talking about is none other than Jason McClellan. How you doing buddy?

I am wonderful. Mr. Sprig. How about yourself? Not bad. Not bad. You know all things considered with what's going on in the world. This has been a fun time to kind of you know like I said shed our UFO armor and get to the heart of all these other things you and I are interested in whether it's paranormal supernatural cryptids and I don't know about you, but it's refreshing to really kind of stretch your mind every now and again and realize there's a whole world out there of other weird stuff going on.

Definitely man. I mean you said it and you know that's why you and I do Rogue Planet. I mean that's the whole point of Rogue Planet. You know we are fans of all the strange and we are curious individuals and that curiosity doesn't stop at UFOs. There's lots of mysterious unknowns in the in the world and on our planet and first as a whole. So I mean we love it. We eat it up and that's why we do what we do.

Exactly exactly and you mentioned all the strange for those who haven't go to the Rogue Planet TV YouTube right now we did an entire virtual conference of all the strange whether it's paranormal cryptids UFOs, cults everything you can think of. We had amazing guests for that who's dedicated their time and talents to do this for free so you can watch the entire virtual conference for free right now.

I asked you to come on here for a little bit and share with us some stories that have happened to you personally or ones you find of great interest. So I guess we'll start with them.

We'll go to our personal story second. I think that'll be the good a good way to wrap things up. But other than that, you know, I have one that I'm going to bring up that's really always unsettled me and dives into the more spiritual aspects of my life personally. But I want to hear from you. What is the weirdest creepiest story you've come across Jason that you'd like to share today.

When it comes to ghosts or you know supernatural things. There's no end to just absolute spooky or or disturbing or unsettling things. I mean, there are things that are paranormal. They're outside of our normal and you know, a lot of these things that just baffle your mind and you know, they defy explanation and leave you unsettled so you know, thinking about this when you ask me to do this.

I was thinking of unsettling and something with with ghosts that you know, it it's always fascinated me. It makes me laugh a little. But at the same time, it is unsettling. And that is the seemingly large number of paranormal cases involving ghosts and restrooms, you know, we like to think of restrooms as the safe space. You know, that's our personal time. We go into the restroom alone.

That's that's our time. We don't expect to to be disturbed by anyone, especially a ghost. So there are so many cases involving ghosts and restrooms and those cases, you know, always always peak my interest, you know, they catch my eye and I guess for today's purpose.

There are two that were, you know, just years apart and they in Bangladesh and I don't know if this is a normal thing in Bangladesh, but you know, it seems to, it seems to be several stories involving ghosts and bathrooms in Bangladesh, but one was in 2015 and it involved a school with children and so in 2015, there was an 11 year old student who after using the toilet at a government primary school.

In the town of Pavna, Pavna, Bangladesh, she got sick after using the toilet. She died the next day. That's pretty bad. And then according to the school headmaster, other students started getting sick after using that toilet, approximately 8 to 10 students who either used that toilet or had been in the bathroom, had been near that toilet. They got really sick.

So, okay, I'm getting sick from using a toilet. What does that have to do with the ghost? Well, there was supposedly a legend at the school where a legend about a ghost who lived in a palm tree outside. And I don't know how they established that this ghost lived in the palm tree, you know, maybe somebody was communicating with this ghost and the ghost said, you know, this is my house. I don't just hang out here. I live here. But anyway, the rumor or the legend at the school was that a ghost lived in this palm tree.

And so, that was already going around. Then the students started getting sick from using the restroom and people started freaking out because they believed that this palm tree ghost had moved into the bathroom.

And nobody wants a ghost living in the bathroom. So, the ghost panic spread and students just stopped coming to school because who wants to go to school where there's ghosts in the bathroom. So, officials shut the school down.

And just like they would do in the United States, I'm being sarcastic here, they held religious ceremony to remove the ghost from the restroom. And apparently it worked because there were reportedly no more reports of people getting sick or encounters with the ghost in the bathroom.

So, that's fascinating. But then two years before that in 2013, a hundred miles away in Gazepur, Bangladesh, a worker got sick after using the restroom and a garment factory. And she didn't actually see a ghost, at least she didn't report actually seeing a ghost when she was doing her business in the bathroom, but she still accused the ghost of attacking her and making her sick.

Reports from other workers started pouring in about infections caused by this ghost in the bathroom. I don't know if that's an excuse for like, I don't know, doing other things in the bathroom, dirty toilet seat. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Maybe dirty toilet seat is a ghost.

Yeah.

It could be other things there. But for whatever reason, whatever half needs people, they were complaining that ghosts in the bathrooms were making them sick. And these reports weren't isolated to just a single factory.

There were hundreds of reports coming in from other garment factories in the area where people were reporting these haunted toilets. And people got so frustrated that, you know, for the at the management for not taking action.

They literally lost their shit and they started demolishing the restrooms at these factories because management wasn't going to do anything. They didn't want anything to do with these restrooms. So they demolished the restrooms. That's a pretty intense there.
