Spooky Gin (0:24)

Intro rate first three months only, then full price plan options available, taxes and fees extra, free full terms at mintmobile.com. I have studied mirror magic extensively. There are things on the other side of the mirror, and if you know about those things, they know about you.

Askia Booker (0:40)

I want to talk about your psychic abilities.

Spooky Gin (0:43)

Oh, no. A little bit. Okay. So we put together the Galveston Vampire Pageant. We had judges and an MC, and we had beautiful vampires. Were some of them legitimately vampires?

Askia Booker (0:57)

I'm literally writing down.

Spooky Gin (1:00)

Yes, they were.

Askia Booker (1:22)

All right, guys, welcome back to another episode of the HORRORble Podcast. It is officially October. I know everybody is looking forward to spooky season, haunt season. Man, here we are. I brought back one of the most sought out guests that you guys continuously tell me to bring back.

How are you doing?

Spooky Gin (1:41)

I'm doing good.

Askia Booker (1:42)

Good. Can you tell the people your name and what you do since if they didn't watch the first and second episode?

Spooky Gin (1:47)

Yes, absolutely.

My name is Spooky Gin, and I own Spooky Galveston in beautiful Galveston, Texas. I am a tour guide and a tarot card reader, among other things.

Askia Booker (2:00)

I can vouch for the tarot card reading.

Spooky Gin (2:03)

Yes, yes, you can.

Askia Booker (2:04)

I've had a reading, I think, before our second episode, and it was it helped. I'm pretty sure it gave me clarity. Let's say that.

Spooky Gin (2:12)

Well, that's that's what it was for then.

Askia Booker (2:14)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (2:15)

All right.

Askia Booker (2:16)

So let's jump right into things.

SPEAKER_1 (2:17)

OK.

Askia Booker (2:18)

Halloween. Halloween. People are looking forward to it this month. People are going to be doing all kind of scary stuff. And opening up things and summoning things. What is what's your take on Halloween?

Do things that does it change the time? Do things open up?

Spooky Gin (2:36)

Absolutely. The veil is the thinnest between the worlds during Halloween season.

And it goes so much further than that. I mean, obviously, you're going to have all of the trick or treating and the parties, and you're going to have all kinds of different incredible activities, haunted houses that people will go to, and you'll have people watching horror movies. And that puts a lot of emotion and energy out into the ether. And as that happens, the spirits get to feed.

Askia Booker (3:11)

What do you mean? They get to feed?

Spooky Gin (3:13)

They get to feed. They get to be able to have the energy that they need to be able to do more than they normally can.

Askia Booker (3:21)

So if people are celebrating or looking forward to the darker side of things, that's what they feed off of?

Spooky Gin (3:26)

Oh, absolutely.

I mean, for instance, I do ghost tours in Galveston. And Galveston is notoriously a very haunted place.

And our spirits are very active. Why would they be active? There is a lot of energy that they get to feed off of. People will come and they will be happy and they'll be enjoying themselves. And that energy is exactly what the spirits take from that experience. And that gives them the opportunity to have more energy and more ability to do more things. Turn off the lights and show themselves and do all kinds of incredible, crazy things.

Askia Booker (4:07)

Things better not be turned off my lights.

Spooky Gin (4:09)

I can't wait for the day things turn off the lights in your house, Ski.

Askia Booker (4:13)

So let's talk about this so-called veil.

Right? People say that it becomes thinner this time of year. You believe that's true?

Spooky Gin (4:20)

Oh, 100%.

Askia Booker (4:22)

Do you think that's due to the fact of what we just talked about?

Spooky Gin (4:25)

Partly.

Askia Booker (4:25)

Okay.

Spooky Gin (4:26)

There are other things that go into it, too. The time of year, you know, the year kind of works on a calendar of, you know, spiritual renewal, rebirth, then you go into a harvest, things of that nature.
