Hey, it's the StoryCorps podcast from NPR. I'm Jasmine Morris. As you know, we always

end our episodes by asking you a question, which you can respond to by leaving us a voicemail

at 702-706 Talk.

When we open up that inbox, we never know what we're going to hear.

And lately you've been telling us your secrets, things you've kept hidden, or that were hidden from you.

We've got stories about dogs, tulips, more dogs, and to start, hypnosis.

Hello, my name is Amber Anderson, and I am calling from Clackamas, Oregon.

My secret that I kept for many, many years was when my family and I went to a state fair, and there was somebody up on stage, and they asked for volunteers to come up and get hypnotized. My family volunteered me, and I ended up going up there.

They kind of had everybody walking around, like chickens. They had some guy pretending to fall in love

with like all of the females up on stage. Oh, well, look at this one. She's really in love with him.

I was not hypnotized. I was just acting. I just kind of went with it because just everybody was having so

much fun watching. And I kind of figured when I'd come off the stage, I would spill the bean

and, you know, tell the truth, but I didn't. They were selling DVDs of the recordings after the

shows. And every time the family would get together, they would pop in this DVD.

They'd really get going like, you know, we never believed in hypnosis.

But there's no way Am would have done all that stuff.
