The Signore M Files: Vampires, Secret Societies & the Rich B Mystery

Welcome to Uncanny Alley, the podcast where history, folklore, the occult, and the unexplained collide. I'm your host Alley, an art historian with a fascination for the darker corners of history and a healthy tendency to ask questions that probably should have been left alone. From ancient mysteries and secret societies to vampires, hauntings, and the occasional conspiracy we're digging through centuries of stories to separate historical fact from folklore, fiction, and everything in between. I'm not here to tell you what to believe. I'm here to follow the evidence, question the narrative, and see just how far down the rabbit hole we can go. So pour yourself a drink, get comfortable, and embrace the Uncanny. Let's get weird. Hello. I think we quite literally recorded me saying I look like a fucking poodle. Anyway, hi, how are you? How are you? Here we are again, quite busy. Same, same. For those who don't know, this is my hobby. I enjoy this shit. That's how this podcast came around. Bianca and I are just, you know, lunatics. We love a good conspiracy, but in the real world, I'm a professional photographer, so my, my, I just love to torture myself clearly because yesterday, yesterday, I drove four hours north to the Isle of Sky to do a shoot. And then that was a two hour shoot, including a hike. I got to climb a fucking mountain. Then I drove four hours back home. And now I'm doing this. I'm really tired. I'm really tired. But this is going to energize you. I'll promise. I think I think it will. I think it will. So welcome to the first official episode of Uncanny Alley, the last episode was technically the pilot. A lot has occurred since then. And today we're discussing the mysterious Signore Ima and Rich B on TikTok. Also, I've spoken to Rich since then. Like, he's lovely. He's so nice. He's such a nice guy. So any of his little lackeys who are, you know, coming for me in my, my TikTok fucking comments, put your goddamn pitchforks down. I'm not coming for your boy. I'm not, well, I'm not going to rip him a new one. We're doing like, it's analysis. It's what it's investigation. It's fun. Fuck off. You don't like it. You don't have to be here. We're here to rage bait vampires. Not Rich. Yes, we're here to rage bait vampires. Not Rich, which is just my face that we're showing, you know, like, you're fine. You're somewhere off in Bavaria. You're a Bavarian fairy. Meanwhile, people can find me anyway. Towing through the mountains and glades. Yes, that's me. Yeah. Anyway, so before we start, I think we need to discuss, I just clicked the wrong tab. There we go. I think we need to discuss Signore M. I was, I was corrected by an Italian. I love it when that happens. Like, correct me harder, daddy. So an Italian was so kind enough to explain that Signore A with an E at the end wouldn't be the proper title that we should be using. Typically, when addressing someone, they use Signore or Signora, depending on the gender. Signore, it should have been Signore M. So their argument was like, that's how they clearly they knew that this was bullshit. That said, I'm going to play Devils Advocate here for a minute. Because early on in this whole, whatever this is, this is the story, Rich claims to have gotten a letter or note delivered to him by his hotel country. Maybe we should start right at the beginning, because people might not I just want to just mention this before we continue, because it's so it's so interesting. So we'll get into that letter specifically. Like, I'm going to tell you all the weird little shit about it. But he addresses Rich in the letter as Signore Richard. But then he signs off as Signore M. And the interesting thing here is what I was told by this lovely Italian who was correcting my Italian grammar was that Signore is used almost as like a divinity title. Like, it would be used for kings or lords or gods. Yeah. I looked into that. So it's Signore is like its own word. So to speak, Signore could stand for gentlemen. Like, welcome Signore Signore. Ladies and gentlemen or gentlemen and ladies, I think they do it the other way around. Yeah. Or Sir, for example, so he would literally sign with Sir M. Yeah. So, yeah. Or if Ill Signore is used, then it's literally God God. Yeah. So yeah, that it's either he has a God complex. Oh, it's a typo. God complex, not Italian. Something's going on there. We're going to we're going to dive more into that specifically because I'm going to play Devils Advocate there. Anyway, so let's let's establish the timeline, which I've got the I've got the I've got a flat the whole freaking dock open on my page. By the way, I just updated it if you want to open that one. Oh, no, because I updated mine too. Oh, shit, hold on. What have we done? What have you done? I just edit notes concerning the jewelry store, the name and that stuff that we found out. So it is. For some reason, I can't open this. What are you sending me? Bloody hell. Can you just copy and paste the new thing so I can just copy and paste the new thing? It's a whole fucking line of stuff. Wait, give me two seconds. It's just copy and paste. It's fine. I'll just throw it in this other. I have like two documents open. This is fine. Where do I copy and paste? I just put it in discord. I don't care. Does that work? Fuck. Oh, God. Yeah, that's what I meant. I'm just gonna let you I'll let you do that part. I don't even like when we get to that, just tell me this is the weird fucking shit. I don't okay. Wow. Yeah, yeah, I was doing some work yet. Right. So let's establish the timeline first. So this the first mention of all of this goes back to the 15th of June 2025 in Venencia in Venice Italy where we are talking about the jewelry store. So since you've done some research there, I'm gonna let you talk about the jewelry store. Yes. So the date we got was the first video when this whole thing started was around June 25. Oh, really? 15th. 15th June. Yeah, 15th of June 2025. I didn't know how much detail we want to give, but anyway. So that was the first video where Rich was having a vacation in Venice, regular thing. And apparently he was approached by an elder man, I suppose, like an elder person. I don't know if it was a man or a woman telling him that there is a jewelry store in Venice that is supposedly only open at night and is owned by a vampire. So he went to set June store. Wait, wait, wait, I know I know no one else can see me and put my hands up. Just or some information because I did go back and figure out where he found he heard that story from. He has he he was a told like later on he he establishes this in another video. He was told about this store by hold on. It's in my notes here. A friend of his from Iraq or Iraq. I'm a stupid American, guys. Listen. Oh God, where is it? It's in my notes. Anyway, he was told by a friend. Ishmu. There it is. Found it. I knew it was in my list. Also just a fun little fact. So like that's how he knew about it apparently according to him. So that's why he went there. Fun little fact. Since I posted that video, there have been Italians, the nations in my comments telling me that there is lore about a jewelry store that is apparently owned by vampires. So I can't have it independently verified that. But there have been multiple Venetians telling me that part at least has some credibility. We'd love to hear from our Venetians like whatever they have to tell us about this one. If it's this one, if it's another one, everything you can get give it to us. So he's not the heart. It's really not. It's not that hard. Find me through her like whatever. Anyways, so he goes to that store which is an existing store and existing address we looked it up. The jewelry store. Yes, it's Atelier Kondaniato. That's apparently the family's name. Atelier did some research. That's my discord name, but it's fine. That's how you know me. Atelier did some research and found out that Kondaniato is not a traditional Italian name right? No. So it's not a traditional Italian name. And in fact, it's an old Italian word for what essentially is condemned. So we have a condemned vampire, supposedly allegedly family that runs a jewelry store. The jewelry, by the way, is incredible. I wish I'd own a piece. It's so realistic. Like like drops there every time she goes to Venice. Like if that tells you like where that price tag bracket is. I researched that. Some they also have a very limited stock on items. Their designers design a piece. They produce three four five pieces. And that's it. It will never be produced again. So having one of their pieces is already hard enough. And their auctions and vintage creations. Because just for you guys to imagine what they make, they have skulls and snakes and cameos and the funniest. The funniest thing they have is a skeleton in a coffin with a penis that if you open the coffin stands up. Love it so much. I'm here for it. I'm also they've been in business since what was it? Was it 1844 or something like that? I have to look it up again. I think it was the 1860s, so for some reason I don't have that written down or I do and I've just it's all I thought I was very organized with this spreadsheet. Yes, it's 1866. And yeah, all their designs are distinctive macabre and memento mori in essence. So yeah. And then those are my mental mori is Latin for remember that you too shall die. Yes, we all perish. So yeah, price tag if anyone's interested. They all work with real metal like real gold and gems and whatever we rubies and emeralds. 35000 euros. That is just a down payment on a house. It's very very affordable. Also, if you hear any barking, my dog is directly under my desk and if anyone walks past the window too close, she just she has an aneurysm so I can't control this. She fears she fears you do a protect. So yeah, that's that's the the background on jewelry store. Apparently the father of the currently siblings that run this jewelry store his name was atilio condanato. He unfortunately passed away was legendary as an artist among his peers. And he happens to live in a palazzo along the Grand Canal and his of course he does and his entire palazzo is filled with art because of course it is. And the son who now runs the the store with I guess with his sister is that who yes, his name is Mario. Mario. Mario. It's not help in the delusion guys. So you you read or you read an interview right talking about what atilio was like as a father if you want to just throw that in there. So atilio apparently was not the normal type of father normal quote unquote because what is normal these days. But he wouldn't for example take his kids to like a soccer/football game or do random normal things with them. No, he would drag them to museums and find art exhibitions and educate them in this regard rather than doing the regular kid stuff with them because of course he did you know. Of course he did. I'm going to go ahead and read off a disclaimer because I feel like we're approaching something that we're going to make jokes about later. If any of you have read Anne Rice's works there is a there's quite a lot of similarity in Rich's story with Senora M as one of her characters in her books called Maria Sautomano. So I'm just going to read this disclaimer really quick. The vampire chronicles all characters including Marius, Lestat and anything any any other characters in her books are the intellectual property of Anne Rice and the respective rights holders. Any references, comparisons or portrayals in this episode are made for commentary, analysis, parody and entertainment purposes only. This podcast is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anne Rice as a state AMC or any associated rights holders right now we won't get sued. Yeah it's doing not fun so yeah obviously we make a connection because a lot of things how Marius we're going we're too far gone because yeah there are so many similarities between set atilio and our marios and then that this is not in this this whole scenario. Yes the thing that I would love to ask Rich about is what happened to the whole jewelry thing because we got very much into this lore Senora M telling who he is what he is what he likes to be seen as etc but where does the jewelry store come in is this connection still real are we still talking about that Senora M is owning this jewelry store or did that get lost is a jewelry store is this like a front is it Mario is it Mario is where are we at yeah exactly yeah so go ahead that's that's that's on the jewelry store so do you want to continue with the letter so yes so after the jewelry store this after that first episode he the next day I think it was I think it was the next day he posts that he got a letter delivered to him in his hotel this was so the the famous letter from apparently Senora M and let me just find that I have a photo somewhere you would think I would be more ready I'm not right two seconds yeah if you can do that because I'm clearly not here it is yeah thank you thank you thank you right awesome so let me just put this here so I can go over it properly need to make a couple of notes I also have the translation there if we yeah you want to go ahead and send that to me as well okay so before that though when he received this letter simultaneously so he's in Venice right simultaneously at the same time back in his his wherever he lives in the US his cameras started doing some weird little act there was some weird activity happening there were some flickering lights and apparently his house sitter mentioned that the it was extremely cold and they heard music didn't really go too far too much deeper into that so let me read this letter first in we're gonna we're just gonna read the English I'm not here to practice my Italian today so in English it says Senora Richard it would be an honor and an immense pleasure for me to be able to host you one evening I sincerely thank you for your friendship please come and visit me one evening have a good journey if you should visit Florence or Rome please visit my shops plural have a good journey may the CB gentle we will see each other at the Lazaretto you're devoted servant Senore so a couple of things here so I think we need to go ahead discuss Lazaretto so when I read that I was like that's the plague island and fucking Venice that's not open to the public so there is a there is an island right off Venice that used to be used as the dumping ground of plague bodies essentially so during the plague years they would you know they would they would practically they dump all the dead there to to help you know stop the spread of bribonic plague um and now it's there's a abandon a and say an asylum that sits on there it is close to the public you can't go there um legally people go there people sneak onto the island all the fucking time if you get caught it's it's it you don't want to but we don't endorse it but there is the uh Lazaretto Nuelvo in Venice as well I don't know much about it apparently you can go there that said I was thinking about this this morning and the shower actually so we know that we're gonna we're I'm kind of jumping around so after this letter rich goes to Croatia and that's where apparently he goes to see this grave which we'll get into a little bit deeper in a moment um and senora m pays for a boat trip and no one knows how he like knows like new that he would be there and how like you know all that fun stuff so the fact that he's this Lazaretto Lazaretto is also just Italian for like it could be a graveyard it could be like um There's a couple of different meanings. Like it's not just, it's basically a place for the dead, or the sick. So the fact that he goes to a grave, that's apparently associated with Cinyota M, which we'll get him going to really dive into in a moment. It's interesting that he might have just had like some preemptive, like maybe his psychic, and he knew he was going to go there and he had to get up. So I just thought that was interesting. Now then, where are my notes about, right? So I've got some notes here about the actual usage of some of the Italian. Oh God, I don't want to actually read on here in Italian. So there's, I know. These are gonna fucking just make fun of my, I haven't spoke Italian in like four years, guys. Right, so there's a line that says, "Miscuzo sin gra a mente per la sua assinza," which translates to, I sincerely apologize for your absence. So that's a bit strange. Not really sure how that has anything to, it's, there's some weird grammatical errors that happen. He's also like using like Bon Voydaggio. Like, so Bon Voydaggio, for example, that this appears towards the end of the letter, where there's like earlier instances that read Bon Voydaggio, there's a mix, the way it's spelled. So it's B-U-E-N, so it's a mix of Spanish and Italian. So it's not Vaughn, it's Bien. I don't know, I don't speak Spanish, guys. There's also the usage of the formal la or la, and then there's the casual usage later on as well. So, and even like where it's translated correctly with the like, "May the CB gentle." It's, or sorry, "May the CB merciful," or calm. It's a little more poetic, it's a bit older, the actual Italian that's being used. - Yeah. - So, we're looking at, all right. I'm gonna, I'm gonna just address like the AI concerns. I am someone who speaks, I can understand basic Italian. I speak basic Italian. I spent eight years in Latin. That's a special form of, that's a circle of hell, Dante did not get to. My family comes, I know, I don't sound it, but my family does come from Scotland, my grandfather spoke garlic. I know a little bit of a Scottish garlic. What I've noticed with AI is it doesn't make this, this mini, like fucking grammatical errors. If you say, "Hey, translate this." It at least stays in the same language that you're telling it to translate to. - Yeah. - So, that's my whole gripe with that. I mean, sure, it could still be AI, but like, what fucking AI is he using? Because it's really fucking dumb. Like, why are we mixing Italian and Spanish? Why are we mixing the formal with the casual? Like, it's just a little weird. - I mean, I know that the Venetian dialect can be somewhat leaning towards Spanish. Don't confuse me if it's wrong. - I know nothing about Venetian dialect. So not a goddamn thing, I cannot. It does sat in my gun, I know I'm gonna get crucified, but it does sound more Spanish to me when I've heard it, please don't fucking kill me. - Please Venetians, specify, tell us. We would love to hear it. - I'm a dumb American, educate me. (laughs) - Though, yeah, also the AI allegations. We did our research. Again, I do not want to, you know, rain on richest parade, but the first thing when something outlandish is happening, you are skeptical. Like, I like to compare myself that probably shows my age to the ex files, fucking molder. I want to believe, but I'm skeptical, okay? Like, I won't believe every single thing someone tells me, but I want to be convinced. Like, the willingness is there. (laughs) - What is the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak. (laughs) - Exactly, exactly. So I was running it through an eye check seeing if this could have been a generated image, if this, you know, even to analyze the script of the handwriting, because, you know, everyone knows, if AI is writing a letter for you, every single thing is perfect, every G is consistent, every S is consistent, the eyes are dotted, you know, everything's perfect. And, funnily enough, even by looking at it from here, it's not perfect, the S is different, the A is different, the Z, or Z differs. - Z differs. - Z is from American listeners. (laughs) - Z is from American listeners. So, there is differences. Also, the writing, the way that sometimes the pen hits harder, sometimes, you know, there's, in the agile, I believe, it's the way the G is not even fully formed, there's like a, you know, it's as if the pen stopped working and you had to redo the swoop. (laughs) So, I noticed this, and I ran it through AI asking, could this possibly be AI or generated? And it was inconclusive, actually. So, it's said that, from the way it's written, it must have been a very steady hand, which again, could be attributed to the hand of an artist. Or, it could have been fabricated in a way. - Mm-hmm, yeah. So, I also ran it through another AI authenticator thing. So, again, I'm a professional photographer. If you didn't know, there's been some hoopla in this community as well from, like, photographers faking their entire portfolio. So, there are tools that you can use to run an image through. And, like, Jim and I has one. There's a couple of others as well. I ran it through as well. It also came back inconclusive. I have had people comment saying that they've done the same thing, and it's come back AI, would love to know what they're using. Because, like, there's so many different programs. And I'm not sitting here saying, it's not AI, that I totally believe this. I'm not saying that at all. I don't know what I believe. To play devil's advocate here as well. Looking at the image, right? It's clearly been cropped. But, the way that this letter is standing up, like, on the table or something is a bit strange. Now, it could have been, like, I did test this out. The other day, like, you were here when I did this. I got some card stock. And I cut it down to its, you know, similar size. And then I've used a bone knife. And for those of you who don't know, this is an actual artist's tool to fold paper as clear and crisp as you fucking can. It's lovely. So I folded this thing and I sat it up to see if it would stand up if it was folded. And it does. You have to, like, the interesting thing is, like, if you're looking at the image, you don't see anything, like, you know, when it's folded, it would kind of come apart a little bit, right, on the table if you're standing it up that way. You're not seeing that. So I'm like, okay, well, how did he get this angle? So I actually did take a photo. It's a weird angle, not gonna lie. Like, to get this angle, it is possible. I guess if he's sitting down, if he, like, if he, like, stood it up, right? If he, let's pretend he, this is the, I know you can't see me. People can't see me, but you can. This is a letter, right? If he stood it up on his desk and he's sitting down and he just pulled out his phone, at waist length, it would work, at waist length, you would get that angle. That said, the other thing is, though, it's written on the outside of the folded paper. So sure, I guess he could have unfolded it and folded it the other way. There's a couple of, like, ways that you could get this weird angle. I don't know. I don't know what, I don't know how I feel about it. I'd love to see the letter. I would love to see the letter. So yes, anyway, moving on to Croatia. So I just, I need to just point out, I've traveled a lot and in my mind, it makes no sense to go Venice, Croatia back to Italy to Florence, right? It makes more sense to go Florence, Venice, Croatia, and then wherever the fuck you're going after that. But I mean, it could be an itinerary thing. Like people do, people travel weirdly all the time. It just, to me, didn't make any sense, but again, that I'm just fucking weird about how I travel. Yeah, I saw you got a lot of slack. I'm just like, I'm just like, because like you're crossing multiple bound, you know, international boundaries, you're taking two fucking like fairies across the way. Maybe he just likes to be on a boat. That's okay. It's just it was weird for me. It's like because like geographically speaking, it just makes more sense to go Florence, Venice, Croatia, and then wherever the fuck you're flying home from. Okay, whatever. I'll take the fly. - We were just questioning the zigzag travel a little bit. - I mean, as somebody also with an American passport holder, I've never like taken a boat trip across, you know. I live in Scotland. I've never taken the boat across to Ireland, but I know that they do a passport check. They still check your passport. They don't scan it. They don't stamp it, but they check it. I don't know. It just seems like extra fucking tape. Red tape to me anyway. Right. Let me see here. Let me pull up my note here. Right. Let's Croatia. We're talking about Croatia, and we're going to discuss kind of like what he did in Croatia before we really dive into anything. So, two significant, two significant things happen. First, he was gifted a boat ride or a boat trip according to, according to Rich, seniority and paid for this boat trip. No idea how he had his information, but apparently he did, and left a very generous tip to the tour company. So that's an interesting thing. But the other thing was that he went to, he ended up going to a grave. Now, how this occurred was apparently Rich was, he gifted a beggar woman some money, and she sent him on a, on a little side quest, if you will. And then ended up at this grave. So Bianca, do you have a photo of that grave by chance, like on you? I have, I'm not prepared. I can pull it up. Well, it's on my phone. Wait, it is on my phone. So just, just for some, just a disclaimer here, this is a real person's grave. Okay, this is, this is an actual person's resting place. This was a human being. They had a family. They had a livelihood. They had people that cared and loved for them. So I am going to say if it comes out that this was all sensationalism, this is the part that is going to piss me off the most. Like you don't fuck, just don't fuck with the dead guys. If you want to like tell like a elaborate story as an entertainment, that's one thing. Don't fuck with real people. All right, that's just, that's just bad. It's, it's bad, bad, it's tasteless, bad. Um, right, where is this here? Just found it. So the name on the grave is, it's a pretty sure there's a bit of a typo, but it says, um, Johanmi, which we're assuming should be Giovanni Moretti. So interesting thing about this name. Um, it's basically the John Smith of Italian names. Um, but the really interesting thing about this grave is, it's got two dates on it. One is what was it? 1730? Is that it? Yes, there was 1730 right above, uh, the name of the disease. Yes. So the deceased has, there's the date of 1730. There's no date of birth. There's no date of like exact date of death is just 1730. But underneath that, there is the Roman numerals. Where is that? Where is my list? Where is my list right here? MMV. And then there's what looks like an R. So real quick, R is not a Roman numeral. It could just be a typo essentially. But MMV is 2005, which is interesting. So 1730, 2005, not really sure what that's about. There is also a coat of arms, but I haven't really looked too much into the coat of arms. It looks like there are two blades creating like a cross on a, yeah, the cross blades cross blades on a shield. There's something else, maybe behind it and under it, but I can't tell what that is. So you went down a rabbit hole with this name. I'm going to let you talk about this part and I'll do the math. It looked up the Giovanni Moretti from the grave from Croatia and I couldn't really find anything. I was being told that Giovanni, as you already mentioned, is most likely a misspelling or a shortened version of Giovanni. So I was looking for a Giovanni Battista, Giovanni Moretti, and the painter Giovanni Battista Moretti came up. And we compared birth dates because I would assume either birth or a death date would be on a headstone. And the painter was born 1700 and died 1761. So necessarily that does not match up with the dates on the headstone. And since we never found his body, it was just, so that's a fun bit of information. As someone who is an art historian and still has access to some databases, this is, you can't just gloss over that beyond because that's kind of important information. This guy is a master painter. He's a Venetian master painter. He's not like, you know, he's not looking down at that lower or bolt of jelly, but he's up there. They have, they have, they have assumed it's an approximate death date. It's not, it's, there's no documentation because they don't know where his body is. They don't know where he's buried. So literally the documentation says, approximately, he died around 1760. They assume in Venice, but they have no fucking idea where he was buried. They don't know where he's at. Exactly. And then the next fascinating thing, there is another Giovanni Battista Moretti, who is not famous, who is not a painter, exact same name, who was indeed born in 1730, died in 1790, also Italian. But again, for him, we know that he was born, raised and died in Taibon, Algordino, I believe is the name, which belongs to Beluno, which is in the Veneto region of Italy. So we know this from ancestors family search. It's written down there. So I assume, you know, it's not the same person. Then, but just funny that I don't, again, maybe the Italians can help us out. I don't know how common Giovanni Battista Moretti as a name is. To me, it's very weird to have the same first middle and last name for different people. That could be hello confusing. But yeah. And then we have yet another Giovanni Battista Moretti that was born in 1892, died in 1912. And he, again, also comes from the Veneto region. And he was from Feltli, which is also Beluno and Veneto Italy. So yeah. Regions in Veneto. Yes. So just for some math here. And please don't quote me on this. I'm an artist. I'm an art historian. I did not do well in math. Math was the only seas I got on my report cards. Anyway, but I did do some basic math. And when I say basic math, I went back and I looked at the population of the Venice between 1700 and 1900. So the estimated pop total population, between those time frames was roughly always around 145,000 people. So half of those are men. So we're talking about 72,500 people. So men with the surname Moretti, this is verifiable information. By the way, you can get this in the genealogical archives. Roughly one in every 2,000 men in Venice, in Venice, this is the Veneto region. This is the Venice proper. We had the surname Moretti. So that's roughly 36 people. So estimated Giovanni Moretti's alive simultaneously. Oh, sorry, wait, I skipped a line. So named Giovanni. So names with the first name Giovanni. So we've got 36 people having the surname Moretti during that timeline with the first name being about 10 to 20 percent. So that's between 4 and 7. So there's 4 to 7 Giovanni Moretti's in Venice at any given time between 1700 and 1900. Now estimating that further, estimated Giovanni Moretti's alive simultaneously, 4 to 7 estimated distinct Giovanni Moretti's across the 1700s to 1900s, that's 30 to 80. This is where it gets interesting. Estimated Giovanni Baptista Moretti's across 1700 to 1900 in the Venetian period, sorry, in Venice during the 1700s, 1900s, living simultaneously would be 6 to 25 of them. One of them would have been the painter, by the way. So between 6 and 25 of them alive Giovanni Baptista Moretti's. I hate math. Statistics, man. But yeah, just to me, it was fascinating that we have a Giovanni Moretti in Croatia, a missing body for an artist that comes from the Venetian area, or Venice specifically, really. Then at the same time, another Giovanni Baptista Moretti, again, we need to region and then 100 years later, another Giovanni Baptista that he's still a Phoenician area. So what was the name of the city town in the neighborhood in Venice that you said that's sort of the B that they're all in? A Beluno. Beluno, okay. Like the Veneto region is big, but yeah, I'm not sure if it's necessarily a neighborhood to Venice, but yeah, it's part of the Veneto region. Okay, just really interesting that they keep coming from the same area. So just to stay on this topic, so the grave and it's into brothnic, what I understand. So just some information there. So I have not been able to find any documentation of anyone named Giovanni Moretti living or buried or around the brothnic between the years 1702 and 1850. Sorry, 1850, not 1850. I'm just dyslexic. So there's literally nothing. That doesn't necessarily mean that there wasn't a Giovanni Moretti living into brothnic or around the brothnic or died in brothnic. It just means that, you know, historically, humans have been really bad at keeping documents. So the next step would actually be accessing state archives into brothnic, which is not something I have access to, but maybe they can do that in the future. But as of right now, from any all the information that I've been able to access, there is no record of a Giovanni Moretti buried, living dead, alive, doing whatever, fuck all into brothnic. So this gravestone's really interesting. We do have a contact though that possibly can visit this gravestone. Like we have confirmation that this gravestone exists into brothnic. So yes, and he is hopefully going to maybe be able to access some, some, maybe not state archives, but maybe get some information. I also have a bit of information that he has given us to kind of insert here. But we're going to do that at the very end of this because we need to discuss the wine. Yeah, the wine that he was in. The M wine. Yes, the M, the M wine. So if you followed Rich's stories, TikToks for a while, you would have seen that he was gifted a bottle of wine while on a cruise in Croatia with all this stuff happening. It had a big M on it. Now I haven't been able to verify exactly what this, where this wine originates, but someone told me it was actually an American wine. And I thought that was interesting because I'm like, why the, from Oregon? So why the fuck are you? Why you got fucking swill from Oregon? I mean, I don't know. Maybe Oregon wine is really good, but I'm just saying I lived in Italy for a while. I know good wine. Okay. Like I had a key, there was a keyanti fountain, like listen. But anyway, so there's some information regarding like why that would have been given to him. It actually isn't completely outlandish that he got it in Croatia and we'll kind of, we'll go more into it. Like our contact Damien will kind of go more into it in his, in what he gave us to, to read off. But basically, especially in the big cruise cities, apparently they will import wines that are familiar to the tourists that are going to be there. So like if there's a lot of, of Americans, which riches American, there would be a lot of American wines. So not super outlandish to think that an American wine showed up at rich, for rich, but also if there's a surplus, it's also not uncommon for it. And this is, I don't think this is just a Croatian thing either. Like this is something that I've done as a waitress and as a bartender, like we've all done this. So they would gift a bottle of wine to someone, make them feel a little special. So now they feel like they have to reciprocate, but either getting a bigger tip or buying something, buying more. So you know, and meanwhile that, that wine's about to go off anyway. So yeah, do you have anything you want to add about the wine? I was personally thinking, you know, again, playing devil's advocate here. Sometimes when you're very deep in a topic or, you know, when you know, no doubt, he was thinking about my dogs about it. My dog is about to start barking at the hold on. Pause. Pause. Right. My dog has stopped having an aneurysm. Please continue to tell us about this wine. So yeah, devil's advocate here. So I was thinking, no doubt. Senora M was on his mind a lot while he was on this trip. And I know by own experience, if you're really deep into a topic, you start seeing things that relate to it out in the open randomly. So I'm, cough, cough, cough. Yeah, I kid you not. I had a tie where I was like also super deep into like the Dracula novel and I kept seeing like Dracula game, Dracula boards game, Dracula playing cards and all of a sudden I just got a shit and that was before algorithms or whatever. And automatically you make these connections. So I don't even blame him that when he saw a blood red wine with the m on it that he was like, oh holy shit, you know, so yeah, yeah. So it makes sense. I don't think there's any, I don't think there's any malicious intent intent. Also, I don't think there's any malicious intent because for those of us, like individuals like us who looked at that wine and said, oh, well, that's from Oregon. What the thought? Like if they're trying to lie about something, I feel like you would be much better at like doing a better job at it. Like it's hard to check a label. Yeah, exactly. He was transparent about that he's just like, oh, is this senior Emman? He showed us the wine bottle. Like automatically one will assume that reverse image search exists. Yeah. And that anyone who's invested in the story is going to look it up and then see it. It's just Oregon. Yeah, exactly. So with that, I'm going to read off what our good friend Damien Lafei has mentioned about all of this. He's Croatian. So I'm just going to read this off real quick. I kind of paraphrased. So Damien Lafei is a correct Croatian. The Croatian. I swear I can English content creator who does a bit of roleplay, including like portraying Arman from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. It does a great job. So Damien has been following Rich's story for a while as well and is someone who has a lot of knowledge on Croatian culture and Croatian vampire folklore. So he raised several interesting points that we thought they were worth discussing. So firstly, he questioned the suggestion that a mysterious Venetian vampire followed Rich through Slovenia, Slovenia. Listen, guys, I'm American. My accent's just shit. Okay. And Croatia, particularly the apparent connection to I'm going to fuck this up so bad. Your grando, your grando, a historical figure associated with Croatian vampire folklore. He also offers some cultural context regarding the mysterious bottle of wine marked with an M, that we already discussed. According to Damien, complimentary wine isn't particularly unusual in Croatian hospitality. Business sometimes offer gifts to guests and it's also possible that a business might have recognized him as a content creator. So Rich is a content creator and offer something in exchange for potential publicity. The same could potentially explain Rich's mysterious paid-for boat excursion. Then there's the encounter with the elderly woman who accepted money and blessed Rich and directed him towards the grave of Mr. Meretti. Damien explains that blessings, following acts of generosity are familiar with Croatian culture as our certain folk traditions involving grapes, religious sites, and monuments. What might appear supernatural to a visitor could simply be unfamiliar culture practice. However, Damien makes one particularly important point, as we've already said, that this is a real grave. This is a real person that was buried there. Someone who lived and loved and had a history entirely separate from this narrative and that deserves respect. Point blank into discussion. So finally, he raises an interesting folkloric question given the distinct tradition surrounding Slavic vampires, how would a Venetian vampire supposedly operate across different geographical and cultural territories. Ultimately, Damien is offering definite answers, but alternative explanations rooted in Croatian culture and folklore. And that's exactly what we're discussing here. So we're looking at all angles. We're investigating this at all angles. I accidentally clicked a button. It's still recording. It's fine. It's still going back button. So that was Damien. Definitely go follow him on social medias. So his full name is Damien Lafe, and I'll spell that out. And I need to actually look at that. Otherwise, I'll fucking spell it wrong. D-A-M-Y-E-N-L-E-F-A-Y. Just look for the Armandesk, little dude. Love him. Anyway, right. So I think where we can segue into Rich's lineage information, like we can go a little bit deeper and to. that. Yeah. Yes. So, pause, pause.

So after all of this happened, we know that we haven't touched on Florence yet. So we know that senior M was telling Rich that he would like to meet him personally actually and gave him an address in Florence. Which we're not going to name because it is actually associated with a real business. We're not about to dox people or businesses. Exactly. If that's somewhere to be found on his social media, that's entirely up to him. If you know Florence, you could find it and I did find it. But I'm not naming it off. Exactly. Oh, wait, before because we got something wrong in the in the timeline. So he doesn't meet senior M in Florence. He meets an associate in Florence and then they go to a villa outside of Florence. And just you can keep talking, but I need to pull up my note because Rich mentions it to be like a pinkish color villa. They're actually exists one. And it's a public one. And I may or may not be willing to dox senior M's house. So continue talking while I find this note. You really try to get killed here. So yeah, according to him, he went into a office looking building. I mean, the building outside is very historical, but inside apparently was like an office kind of building. He was greeted by a pretty lady. And again, brought to set the villa where he actually met senior M. And there had to sign an NDA gave us in his social media TikTok videos gave us even the law firm's name and the lawyer, which I could not find. As someone who has also had an experience with vampire us beings and had to sign an NDA. If you don't know, you should go check out my TikTok. I was the I'm the weird vampire photographer who may or may not have, you know, photographed in a bit full of vampires. So all NDAs are different, but for example, mine, I can't say shit. Literally can't say a goddamn thing. That said, I can be kind of creative and like change names and things. I'm not going to because I'm afraid I'm not going to keep my stories straight. But essentially, what rich could do, depending on the wording of his NDA. And again, I'm just playing devil's advocate. This could just be, you know, he could be full of shit. But what he could technically do is change the pronunciation or the wording or the name of, you know, instead of like a, this is my lawyer, George, in real life, it's a female named Georgina, you know, something like that. Yeah. Yeah, fair. That couldn't very much happen. Just one thing that I want to mention, that was, I guess before he went to senior M, he, when he came out of the house in Florence, he was visibly shaken. He was in tears, believable tears, in my opinion, in my humble opinion. And he was saying that he would be done with this storyline. He will not talk on it further. And this is it for the whole senior M adventure, which in the end was revoked. Yeah, I kept talking about it. So the thing is though, I think he was dropped off there. So that was after the, the, the, the, the starting endpoint. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's possible. So yeah, to, to come to what senior M told him, I haven't watched all of it yet, because it's, we're going to have to have a part two. We're going to have to have a part two. Yeah. It's a lot quick. No. Let me just a docks, senior M rock. The only, the only villa public, publicly listed. Now, there could be private, but for the most part, in, in Italy, most villas are listed under in like some, some public historical, you know, document or an archive, even if they're not like public, you can't publicly go there, they're listed in a public, you know, because they're a historic site. The only villa within an hour drive, and I only said hour, I don't know how long he was in the car, but I'm like, maybe an hour in Tuscany from Florence, that is pinkish in color, because he does just describe it as being like a pink color with lots of, um, uh, grapevines and all, and I think all of trees as well. I'm going to miss this, this, this, this, this pronunciation up. So it's villa Manji Ankane, M-A-N-G-I-A-C-A-N-E. So it's, uh, and it's about 12 kilometers from Florence. It's a beautiful villa. It's a pinkish villa. It's got all of groves, grapevines, short drive from Florence. Absolutely beautiful. I went on the website. Um, they do have a very interesting study, a very, very, I mean, if we're, if we're comparing Miss Senora M to Marius, so this would definitely be Marius' study. Like, I'm just like, yeah, yeah, Marius definitely lives there. Um, I'm just pulling it up real quick so I can share it with you. I'm just going to find it. You literally have to go on the website. Um, apparently it's also used as a wedding venue. If anyone's planning on getting married there, please contact me. I'm an award-winning wedding photographer. I will do it for free. Um, anyway, I'm not joking. It's fucking gorgeous. Right. I'll find this photo later, but like, it's, it's pretty fucking impressive. No doubt. Um, so, yeah, anyways, so we get the story of Senora M. Um, and it's, it's a wild ride. So okay, it's bear with me. Anyway, um, apparently their timeline, their beginnings go back to Sodom and Gomorrah. I'm not a Bible Fumper. I can't tell you one, when what year this is, I don't know, but there's no document at year. Um, I'm, I'm a former cast. I'm a recovering Catholic that went to get to, to Bible school, essentially, continue. I'll, I'll just put in when there's something I can say biblically. Okay, so very famous twin cities. We know it went down in debauchery. What have we? Um, but that's not necessarily all there is to it. So Sodom and Gomorrah according to Senora and set on top of power nexus. There were like, you know, magnetic lines underneath it, you know, we, we know the drill. And they weren't necessarily just cursed because of the sin and all the stuff that went on there. But because according to quote him, something older than Babylon was unraveling there. And, um, we all know of the fallen angels, but there was apparently a second falling of angels that they didn't fall for sin or to rule over us or, you know, all this stuff, but they came down to stop something. And these angels made a covenant with humans who were also opposing the chaos. So they, they handpicked a bunch of families, I suppose. And, uh, merged with them in a ritual. Um, he specified what was included in this ritual. There was like salt. It was sex. It sounds like sex. I mean, salt, yes, ashes, breath, I don't know, breath, it's a pretation breath. Um, and those who received the full essence of said angels became here. is the name we're gonna say it once okay wait wait wait wait wait wait okay we haven't discussed this yet there's a term that that Rich is using to define these entities these vampire-esque entities we're gonna say at one time but we're not gonna use it because there's no documentation anywhere any book any fucking document anywhere that I have been able to get my grabby little hands on that has anything even significant or slightly close to this also also it's got some weird fucking connections to weird gods so go ahead Bianca tell him what it is so he calls their species Zir Namtar and the reason why as he said weird gods we are hesitant to use Namtar specifically sorry I said it twice now it's basically namtar sorry the end word no that's wrong too this term this term was a figure in ancient Mesopotamian religion and depending on the context could be either regarded as a minor god or here comes the bad part a demon of disease and he was attested to be an attendant deity to basically the goddess of the underworld and the other possibility is it's just a word that refers to what was a destiny yes to literal translation is fate or destiny to look it up again one second yeah fate yeah fate so we're not going to fuck around with gods that we don't know okay I've already I've already had enough gods fucking in my fucking with my life I don't I don't even know the one yes and I guess for the better understanding there is this term vampire and we're not talking thanks coffins capes like the you know satirical kind of thing just a creature who lives off or thrives or needs or takes whatever other life force energy kind of deal okay so that can be blood that can be energy also like the other that the other big thing is like has the appearance of immortality yeah and so I will just say vampire or zm to make it quick so those that got the full essence became zm and those who didn't only partial half the essence I don't know how much they became stewards to the vampires or to the zm and according to rich that's where he comes in or his family he said that through his father's bloodline he is connected to being like part of the stewardship family and you found that information in the comments right he commented on his videos yeah because he does answer people's questions in his tiktok comments and yeah that wasn't his commentary okay by himself and again why we think these are vampires even though they might not like the term but he did specify that the young ones among them again described as beautiful and eternal right they do drink blood they are they needed in a sense but it's not necessarily to feed it's a ceremony for them yeah it's ceremonial it's like something holy I would subsume I don't know the elders though like if they're really eternal I would say all the way back to the super old ones all the way back from sort of one comora they don't drink blood they drink memories emotions energy intention and it's still so riceyent sorry yes so for those who don't know if an an arise vampires drinking from its dictum they will see their entire life like a movie in their minds the older last entire lives yeah and in a sense they take in their memories their life as they kill them and preserve it in a way so all of this has very ration connections for us yes and see like this could we are just an arise freak so this could ring true to other you know gothic literatures that we're not encountered but um you know um right and another connection I'm almost done the the other connection that it has to an arise vampires is the older they get the less often or the less dependent or the less frequent their quote-unquote feeding will they don't even need it like in was it in principle stat or one of the last books of the chronicles that she wrote our favorite character Maris Saramano's doesn't need to feed every now that he's just like born and as they get older or as he got older and you do see it throughout the the series as well the older ones like stop just like you know drinking out of a vein and they just pulled the bits out of the human and like devour that so like in this case like there's a there's a scene where Maris like right well I'm going hunting this one time that like the last 50 years let me just make it a good one yeah like literally drains the guy to a husk pulls his heart out and just you know dinner just a snack you know snack feeling package um one thing also for those who don't know an arise which I would find hard to believe but yeah they exist the oldest known vampires up until recently I mean I don't go into all the arms when we say when we say recently we mean within cannon within cannon yes is Akasha and Enkeel and another fun that's a whole nother episode by the way but we're gonna have to go that's the Ananaki Dananaki it all comes back to the other night but yeah Akasha and Enkeel are the king and the queen or the queen and the king rather she takes the leading role she's above him yeah she's above him of the damned is Egyptian in that lore but the name Enkeel if you leave out the L just Enkeel is again an ancient Mesopotamian god he is the god of wisdom water and creation yeah so side note there is a tiktaker that I've I've got to find him again and he's basically got this whole conspiracy theory around Anne Rice and her works and she was just like downloading or you know speaking with however you want to define it with an entity much like the Ananaki which I don't know enough about the Ananaki to actually have a whole discussion but we we have a volunteer who was happy to come on here and talk all about the Ananaki that that that that's later on anyway so oh god I've been hearing about it my whole life and I don't know anything about it so this last bit of segment that we're gonna talk about is we need to talk about his lineage so I discovered yesterday that I'm one degree of separation away from Rich got like I'm not going to go into any detail there like this he's still a real person like he's he's got a life and like a family and stuff or not we're not digging into that but I can say that I got my hands my crappy little hands on some information let me pull this up again Bianca tell us something interesting while I try to fucking scroll through my notes grass a screen all we perceive it to be green we don't know what it really is serious I mean I guess you're not wrong all right I'm glad I found this okay let me see where is the beginning of these notes two seconds right right okay so not discussing any any actual surnames but Rich claims that his blood line that comes you know from a very old lineage now I was able to find a noble lineage by the way I was able to find that that is partially true it can be tracked currently just just with the information that I have that to 1391 which is an ancient but when we're talking about genealogy of any type there's constantly there people are constantly moving there's misspellings in records so that's how that's how you get your names spelled differently like I'll use my no I'm not I'm not gonna use my name as an example never mind I thought about that first second I was like no no thank you for example I have a Celtic last name my government name is a Celtic last name but there's an Anglicized version of that as well and I'm related to people with that Anglicized version sounds very different very fucking different So that happens. So, you know, there's mistranslations. People move around, people move to other countries, people write things down wrong. So just because we have documentation going back to 1391 doesn't mean that we don't have more documentation from the same line that goes further back. However, you're not gonna be able to track two things about with any lineage. You can't go back to Sodom and Gomorrah because that's a biblical fucking place and they didn't have records the way. The Romans are the ones that started keeping records. You can think of Roman for the records that we have today in taxes and everything else really. - Thanks, Romans. - Thanks, Romans for indoor plumbing. So, we can't go back to Sodom and Gomorrah. We can't verify that. We can't verify his connections with any secret societies which he claims that his lineage has and we're kinda gonna discuss that as well. But what we can, what I have independently proven is that yes, his lineage does have some noble connections, specifically in Sicily. I've been able to document it back to 1391 and his coat of arms is very interesting in sense of the symbology on it for the story that we are getting told. If you've looked and we haven't even kind of touched on this, we'll have to do it in part two. But he talks about like the lineage of Leoné Toro which just means lion bull. There is a lion in his crest. There are other symbols. I'm not gonna say all the other symbols because again, I'm not gonna fucking like risk anyone getting information and just making his life difficult. That's not what we're fucking doing here. It's an interesting story. But there are other like symbolism symbols in the symbology of that crest. That kind of made me go, oh, that's really interesting 'cause what he's saying kind of could add up to some of this. - Also an interesting thing. We didn't just, I don't know, I feel like we need to preface this. We are not creepily stalking this poor man. - No, we're not. - Literally, the reason I found this out was I was talking to a close friend of ours, like he's our friend, like you know him too. And we were discussing the TikToks that I'm doing. And he was like, I think I know there's a connection there. And he was like, yeah, wait, there's a professional connection there. And that's all we're gonna really say on that matter 'cause we don't wanna dox our friend anymore. (laughing) - But just to reframe it a little bit as well, if you watch his videos, especially when he talks about the vampires or the ZMs, there's a part one, part two. It goes all the way up to eight or something. We haven't watched them all yet, I have to admit. I mean, I didn't, maybe you did, I didn't. - I gotta refresh myself on a lot of them. - Yeah, I mean, you have been following him for ages. I'm a new chicken to this. But he does, if you really pay attention to his videos, especially the first one. His video where he talks to us into the camera ends at like four minutes, 17. But if you look at the time of the video itself, it goes to like five, seven, five, nine. And you're like, why is this video longer than it should be? And even when he's still talking to the camera for like a split second, there's like images that will flash. - By the way, I've been informed by somebody who has epilepsy, it's not ideal for them to watch. So don't go watch it if you have a medical condition like that. - Yeah, disclaimer, watch out for it. Yeah, it's literally just a tiny flash once. It's not like strobing or anything, thank God, but it's just like a flash of a picture. You really need to pay attention. Like one blink and you will miss it. And he keeps flashing various images that don't even necessarily relate to what he says in that moment, for one, he's like talking about again, how his family came into this. And he flashes an image of a painting of a man with like a purple filter over it. It's, couldn't find it, what it is, no idea. The next flash is of a coat of arms, which that's why like the lion and the bull. And again, it's not that we creepily unravel the whole life of this man. He feeds us this information very subtly. And also the bloodline of the bull and the lion and the bull is from a flash of a picture that talks about a secret society to which his bloodline apparently belongs to. I will not name the name. Again, you can watch the videos for yourself and watch out for these flashes. And yeah, so it's not that we are like super creepy, it's literally being fed to you. You just need to pay attention. - Yeah, we're really good at watching for things. And speaking of secret societies. So early on, Rich, before the NDA, apparently, Rich gave us a list of, or actually after the NDA, Rich gave us a list of secret societies that seniority in claims exists. And we're gonna go more into this in the next episode. We're gonna talk more about secret societies. And it's gonna lead into some other interesting stuff that we're gonna talk to another guest later on about. Anyway, before I read this list off, 'cause I am gonna read the list off, I wanna preface with a couple of things. So just because, or I'm gonna play devil's advocate on both sides, just because we don't know something exists, doesn't mean it doesn't, right? So like, for example, I'm gonna use the Vatican archives as a great example, by the way, I've been in the Vatican archives, anti-climactic. But then again, they don't just let you wander around. So in the Vatican archives, they have like, what is it, 54 or 45 kilometers of shelving of documents? And it tunnels down, right? So it's pretty deep. Now, as an academic, if you need to request something, the way that it works is, most museums or archives, they have a public catalog. And you have to request what's in the public catalog. If something, if they have something that's not in the public catalog, that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It just means that you don't have access to it. There's restricted access, or like the public doesn't know that it's there, right? So you could know, for sure, the Vatican has X, Y, Z, but because it's not listed in a public catalog, you cannot go see it. You can't go see it anyway. Unless you are a researcher with actual documentation and reason to go, you can't fucking walk in the Vatican archives. They're not gonna let you go. So the way that it works, as someone who's done it, I had to, I was doing my research on Cardavaggio and I needed to, so they had something that I needed to look at. So basically, I had to send a request, my university had to send a request, my university had to sign a fucking waiver, basically saying, if she breaks something, we'll pay for it. And even when you do that, you're not necessarily granted access. They could say, no, fuck you. I was granted access. I went to Rome, went to the Vatican, I was led into a reading room, and I was given what I requested. So you can't just fucking walk around and be like, oh, this is interesting, let me read this. No, you're literally, you can see only the thing that you're requesting to see. So again, we know that the Vatican has stuff that the public can't access. It's secret knowledge, right? So it's the same thing with secret societies. Just because we don't know that they exist doesn't mean they don't. However, take all of that with a grain of salt. So. - By the way, I kept it up. It's 85 kilometers or 52.8 miles of. - I was fucking documentation. I love them so much. Side note, let me tell everybody what I wanted to be when I was younger, what I wanted to be when I grew up. I'm so far off the mark. This is why I, well, I went to art school because Marius, but I also went to art school because I would love to have this job. There is a job that the Vatican, it's at the Vatican. There's somebody that does this. So during the Victorian era, something that people did was they, you know, genitalia was wrong. So in artwork, they would cover it up. That's where a lot of fig leaves came from in paintings. As far as sculptures went, things got knocked off. So, you know, genitalia got knocked off. So the Vatican has boxes and boxes and boxes full of marble dicks. And there's a conservator that goes around and tries to play pin the dick on the statue. That's what they do. I want that job. That's what I wanted to be when I grew up. Anyway, I would do a free apprenticeship there. I would die for it anyway. OK. So here's the list. I'm going to read off the list, and then I'm also going to kind of explain what Rich said to Nora M. said. So number one, the Aralean Fold, which is apparently in Miami, custodians of the lap is veil and Florence. Because of course, it's in Florence. That sounds very much like Florence. Choir of dust and mirrors and Venice. also sounds very Venetian. Circle of the hallowed flame in Iceland, Parisian Court of Thought 13 in Paris, if you didn't get Parisian. The red smoke lodge in the Midwest, USA, scaled brotherhood of sequett in Egypt, silver current, silver, oh my god, why can't I say this word? Help! Help! My dyslexia is due. Silver, oh my god! Oh my god, I was literally having a fucking panic attack. Yes. Say it again, please. Silver Corsanthium. No, one is Corsanthium. Corsanthium? Corsanthium, because the. It could be my dyslexia, okay? Yeah, shut up. Literally, the Japanese royal family, the family's self is called the Corsanthium throne, probably Corsanthium. So, silver Corsanthium maybe? Yeah. Thank you. And the last one is the "Ungrilled Sinod of the Veiled Gate in London." Okay, so as far as all of those go, there's no documentation on any of them at all. There was the only. the most interesting thing that I did find as far as the Parisian Concorde of Thirteen. There is a book written by a French author called Concorde of Thirteen. I can't remember the author's name. I didn't write that down. But basically, he writes this whole novel about the nobility of France, who basically, you know, like there's thirteen of them that kind of rule everything, but nobody knows about it. And he loved his work so much that he actually created a Concorde of Thirteen in Paris. So, interesting stuff like that. Can't find anything, you know, substantial, really. So, there's that. The only thing that I will mention is I've typed down the court of the Lapis Veil, and it gave me a whole bloody book about Alchemy. Yeah. So, that was the only thing we really found, and I've got the book, so I haven't really got to look at the book. There's a lot of interesting stuff happening. Yep, but I think that's for another time. Yeah, we're going to have to make a part two. Next episode is going to be on Secret Societies. We're going to look a little bit more into stuff like this, and then we're going to get somehow, we're going to segue into Skinwalkers. We have a guest speaker next week. Speaking of guest speakers, I spoke, like I said at the beginning, I spoke to Rich. He's lovely. I like him. He's a really nice guy. He has not confirmed nor denied, but he did say that he would be open to the idea of coming on as a guest speaker in the field. Would you love that? If no one shows up with pitchforks. This will be nice. I totally get that. So, to end this, Bianca, I want to ask a question and then I'll answer the same question. Where are you following on this this whole thing? What are your feelings on this senorai in the thing? I think that in his time in Venice, definitely something has happened. Maybe even the letter, again, if I would see this bloody thing live on camera, I'd be blown away. I definitely think something has happened. I do, on the other hand, believe that a lot of the stuff that follows up becomes very fantastical in the progress and it feels embellished, because we all love. Another good story. We love a good story. We see that people are interested in it. We love the attention. So, it all worked out for him. Again, it had nothing to do with his prior content. He was not dependent on bringing up a story. Yeah, I think I want to mention that because I don't think we've mentioned that at all. So, prior to this, this has been apparently ongoing for two years. He confirmed that I've messaged him. I've talked to him. This has been ongoing for two years. Prior to that, he didn't share anything about vampires. He did a lot of Jinx and Dad jokes. And he had a big following before this. So, this is just two years ago. When I came across him a year ago, he already had like 900,000 followers. He's over a million now. So, he didn't gain a million followers in two years. Not on vampire content. Yeah, no. And that's why I think definitely something might be going on, but I think it was just blown up a bit out of proportion maybe. And again, I'm skeptical, but I'd love to be convinced. So, hit me with it. Yes. Yeah. We'd love to talk to him. I'm on the same, I think I'm on the same side of the fences you are. I definitely think there's too much things that I've been able to, that we've been able to identify independently. Too many things that also made me go, oh, that's fucking weird. And there's been a few things that I've been like, well, I can't prove or disprove that. So, it's got to go in the inconclusive pile. And a lot of it's had to go into the inconclusive pile. But there are, have been a couple of things that have, you know, I've been like, oh, okay, so that's, that could very well be true. You know, like a lot of people have been, a lot of people have been commenting. Like, there was one person, oh my god, I don't know who this bitch thought they were. Listen, I cuss a lot. So like, whatever. But somebody like commented today was definitely one of his followers. And listen, I, I am nice to everybody. But give me a reason not to be. I was like, you wouldn't understand because he comes from a long lineage and, and he's special, sparkle, sparkle, like he's got favorite. In my whole million tire time, I'm like, bitch, you stupid mother bugger, like, your lineage ain't gonna fucking got shit to do with anything. I come from a long, long, fucking lineage, like, I can track my back to the 1200s, 1100s. Like, fuck you, dude. That doesn't help anything. And also, I want to end on this while we're talking about lineages. And we'll pick up on this again in the future. Later on in this in richest series, he talks about having possibly ran into another vampire. And they like, back to the fuck up. And seniority ends like, oh, it's because you're lineage. That makes no sense to me. That specifically makes no sense to me because then that means that those things would have been happening the whole time in his entire life, right? Yeah. So, so DNA is DNA. It's not gonna automatically just become embellished and in magic magical now that you've smelt a vampire. But what does make more sense to me as someone who has ingested quite a lot of gothic horror and, you know, romance, romance, and all that fun stuff. What makes more sense is that seniority is a very old entity, very old vampire. Rooting is marious as an example because I think this is great. Marius has found a new little pet that he really likes. And Marius is like 2000 plus years old and like strong, strong, strong, and like, you know, scary. Like, he's got the killing gift. Like, that one just, like, he can just think it and you explode. Literally, that's in the books. Go read books, guys. So I think this, this seniority M has found rich. This is new little, this is new little buddy. And this other vampire, like, got a little too close. And he was like, oh, oh, no, no. We don't want to mess with him because this other guy is going to kill me. I think that's what that that's more plausible. If we're saying vampires exist, that's more plausible to me. Yeah, yeah, protection, protection must do it protect. Anyway, seniority M, if you're hearing this, if you're listening to this, hi, I got to talk to you too. Or I can just continue to be a thorn in every vampire's, you know, ass and just keep rage baiting until someone comes out, or I go missing, to end it with this famous list start quote from the Queen of the Dent movie, again, we're not affiliated in any way, but come out, come out, come out wherever you are. All right, I will see you next week. Bye, everybody. Bye.
