Is that Sally's briefcase?

Chapter 2: What eerie experiences occur in the Sallie House?
Look at this. Sally's Pizza Hut Classic Ranch. Welcome back to Creepcast! Today we are in an actual haunted house. This is in Atchison, Kansas, the Sally House, and we decided that this time around when Isaiah came out to do some recordings that we're going to actually read a ghost story And a haunted house where I suppose like a little girl.
Yeah, I get here and Harry picks me up this time. Yes. Hunter Harry picks me up from the airport and they're like, hey, we're going to a haunted house. I'm like, great. Which one? They're like, here's the name. And I look it up and it's like, yeah, it's a place where a child was killed in a botched surgery.
it's a it's supposedly there's supposedly there's a demon in here there's all kinds of stuff and then not only that there's a tornado warring it's fucking thundering outside we might get stuck here so we're recording a couple episodes here this is our first one that we're recording for the night and it is a ghost story called ad nauseum ad mortem ad infinitum Who is this by?
This is by our good friend Imperial Invective. Oh, okay. So we've covered their stuff a lot. I have to shout out a story that Harry told me when Harry reached out and asked if we could cover this. He said we could, but he thinks that he's got enough attention and we should give other authors attention. So that's the kind of guy this dude is. Dude, no.
But I also don't care because this is a cool story that's come highly recommended, and most importantly, I want to read it.
Yeah, I mean, that was one thing that we were talking about before we started was you were like, this is one that actually I've been wanting to read for a while, which seems perfect for like an actual spooky setting. And I will say I'm a little jittery. The lights are all off in the house. I will say luckily there's other people here, but I'm ready to actually get actually pretty spooked.
If you can see the room around us. So this room... According to the legend, there's a young girl named Sally that came to this house back when the family that lived here had a medical clinic in the basement because there wasn't a hospital nearby like late 1800s. And a little girl named Sally was brought by her mom one day and she died during an operation.
So the story is that Sally's ghost continues to haunt the house. And but before it became an attraction that you could come stay in, it was a house that other tenants and families lived in for a while. And there was one family who had a boy
who was about eight years old, I think, who was staying in this room and said that he would lay in this bed and watch his toys move in the night as if Sally's playing with them. So now people who come to the house, as you can see, will leave toys here for Sally. I left to Margaret. He left to Margaret.

Chapter 3: What ghostly encounters are described in the story?
Was it Fleshgate? Yeah. Fleshgate. What are you asking me? I don't know. The one about them going into the woods and one of them was a mimic. Okay. Yeah. Sure. So a bunch of cool stuff. Friend of the show. We like it. And every time we read him, people recommend this story as one of his best. My foot's asleep.
Okay, honey. It's numb up. I'll tell you what, every time I always sit and I always sit on my left foot and I always think it's my diabetes that's going to like... Cut away the circuit. I don't know. So anyways, ad nauseum. This is a three-part chapter one.
It's fine if your foot falls asleep, but the moaning thing you did.
Sally, stop it. Okay. Ad nauseum, ad mortem, and ad infinitum. So let's start it, man.
All right. Let's begin. Beginning with our first section, ad nauseum, which ad nauseum means the illness, correct? I think. This is Latin. I thought it's... I thought I legitimately thought that it was just. Add in ad infinitum means.
Oh, nausea means to nausea.
Yeah, to nausea.
Yeah.
So it'd be to illness, to death, ad mortem and ad infinitum forever.

Chapter 4: How does the haunting relate to the characters' personal stories?
That's interesting. All the sounds you heard, the creaking on the bed, the door bumping, is her doing that same path every night. When was the nightgown? Early 1900s? I mean, it's been traditionally a thing for probably several centuries, but they kind of phased out of popularity around, like, early 1900s, I'd say.
At what point do they stop shifting from nightgowns to like, I don't know, like somebody you'd see at like Walmart with like Cookie Monster sweatpants? Well, the Cookie Monster sweatpants came later. You know what I'm talking about, though? Yeah.
You think it's 100 years from now, it's just like, yeah, I woke and there was a morbidly obese woman with Cookie Monster sweatpants and a Captain America shirt. She faced to the door.
there's gotta be at a point there's gonna be a shift I feel like I feel like we should cut this but I imagine there's a lot of fellas waking up to that right now as I as I roll around on the floor like fucking what's that fucking slug Gorb Golobor what the fuck is that I am the Gorb Golobor whatever the fuck it is ugh I spent the next couple of nights sleeping upstairs in the guest room.
I lied and told my parents that it was too cold downstairs. I knew I couldn't tell them what I saw. They were already worried about my adjustment to a new city. They didn't need to think that I was going crazy. I stayed in the guest room for a few nights before they began to get suspicious and started asking if anything was wrong. I went to bed in my room the next night and I saw her again.
I didn't just see her, I heard her as well. I tried to stay up that night, but I eventually drifted off. As I was about to really go under, I became aware It starts just like, boo-doo-doo.
He's in a rush around the whole time. I'm trying to find my font, like, whispering. Like, we can hear all of it, dude. He's like, oh, God, it's a monkey. I mean, I've been ignoring it, but it sounds like... I can't. I've tried to. It sounds like a raccoon going through a trash can.
Just new equipment flipping over for no reason. Stuff getting scattered.
It's time to talk about something scary. Your health. I know I don't go in the doctor as much as I should. If I'm feeling sick, I'll just lie in bed and sleep it away. But that's only because I don't want to have to deal with the appointments, insurance, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's why I have ZocDoc.

Chapter 5: What leads to the protagonist's guilt about their grandfather's death?
Or I just mean like... You believe in the story so far that he is actually seeing other people outside of this. But we're just hearing about the occasions in the house. No, I think...
I think this is all you've seen so far. Okay. But realistically, yes. If you walked around anywhere, you would see the remnants of something. Someone killing someone for some reason. Yeah. Car wrecks everywhere. Just every street corner. Oh my God. Yeah. The night before heading off to college, I rolled over in my bed and watched the nightly visitor to my bedroom.
She rocked slightly in the bed and wept quietly. It torrent me to know that she was doing her best to keep quiet. Who was she hiding her depression from? Why couldn't she ask for help? Why didn't I? She was tragically young. I leaned over to her and whispered to her, I'm so sorry this happened to you. There's not much else left to say. Went to college the next day.
Chapter 6: How does the protagonist cope with their haunting memories?
DeVry University. Full-sale technology.
Yeah.
I'm going to MIT. I'm sorry I can't take you with me. I went to National American University.
You want to cry on my bed at MIT? Would you like that? I went to Phoenix Online. I went to DeVry University.
Time dredged on and my first semester of college was going well. Didn't have any ghostly encounters in the dorm, which was a plus. I don't think I would have managed to focus with the spirit of someone constantly dying from alcohol poisoning and frat initiations gone wrong.

Chapter 7: What incident triggers the protagonist's downward spiral?
I had friends, but in a sad way. I found myself waking up in the middle of the night, wanting to see, to talk to her, talk at her at least. November rolled around and I decided to drive home and be with the family for Thanksgiving. I wish I'd just stayed at college. I arrived the day before Thanksgiving and proceeded to catch up with my parents.
My mom even rushed outside to hug me as I pulled into the driveway. My old man greeted me with a beer and we sat on the deck as I filled him in on my life at college. My first semester wasn't over with yet, but I was already adjusted to life at college. It was one of the happier moments of my life. Reminiscing about it now leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
We had a good dinner and I settled down for bed. I was getting ready to drift off to sleep when I heard the sounds I had become so familiar with when I was a child. I opened my eyes and faced the crying girl. I thought of all the usual platitudes that I used to offer to her.
You were too young. You had so many moments ahead of you.
You could have been happy. I wanted to tell her all of these things. Something else was on my mind. The thought was that something wasn't right. It felt like I was overlooking something deathly important. It was something that I couldn't make sense of until I saw him one more time. I moved upstairs and went to the guest room.
The respirator was still clicking on and off and he was still gasping out his last minutes in that room. Trepidation filled me. My whole body was screaming at me to turn around and my mind was begging the same. I knew if I entered that room and witnessed my grandfather's death again that I would never be the same.
I entered the room anyways and I wish to this very day that I had never tried to sate that curiosity. He was still on the bed, gasping, clawing, and struggling in his final moments. I moved close to him and sat on the bed. His body writhed and twisted on the sheets. I knew something was off about all of this. Something in the back of my mind pushed me forward.
I leaned in close and watched it all carefully.

Chapter 8: How does the story conclude with themes of guilt and redemption?
I watched as my grandfather clawed at the empty air in front of his face. Something was off about all of this. He wasn't clawing at the respirator.
when I realized what it was I knew I had no other choice I went downstairs and grabbed my suitcase like the house oh that's pretty cool you you I don't know whether that's happening his father it's on his respirator fell off someone choked him to death Oh, you think someone strangled him? His dad strangled him? His dad or his mom. Yeah. Well, it mentions the dad loved him.
But when he gets home, mom's already changing the sheets. Oh, shit. She's emotional. And it talks about how the grandfather would command her all the time, treat her more like a maid than a daughter-in-law. And then he gets home and she's already cleaned up. Jesus. Okay.
Yeah.
So I think his mom killed him. That's pretty cool that you can put that together from the echo of the death. Yeah. I debated whether or not to wake up my parents and let them know why I was leaving and why I would not return. Okay, maybe he hasn't put together. I'm pretty sure it's his mom. I think that why they wouldn't return.
I think he knows that like, hey, you killed this person. Maybe that's why he's not returning. Well, he says I wouldn't wake them up to let them know. Well, yeah, he's not going to wake them up and be like, hey, I know what you did. I think it's what he's saying. At least that's how I'm reading it.
Okay.
I debated whether or not to wake up my parents and let them know why I was leaving and why I would not return. You can call me a coward, but I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't face them with that knowledge. I threw my suitcase in the trunk of my car and drove to the nearest bar. I never needed a drink more than I did at that very moment.
I wanted something to give me the liquid courage to leave Kalamazoo, to leave my family. I was almost in tears by the time I reached the dive bar. I swallowed back my emotions, entered the bar, and sat at the stool closest to the bartender. It was a dive, the kind of place that had sawdust on the floor to soak up sweat, spills, and skull spit.
