Welcome to Yalla Habibi! We’re Scott and Shelby and on our podcast we truly live the saying Yalla Habibi, which translates to “let’s go my love.” Every adventure, every story and every ridiculous moment, we dive into it together and with you each week. Think of it as a mix of unfiltered chats, unexpected culture shocks, wild travel stories and the kind of honesty you usually only get with close friends. Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s downright stupid, but it’s always real and always us. 🎙 Hosted by 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝘁 & 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗯𝘆 🎧 New episodes 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬 𝗔𝗠 𝗨𝗞

The Real-Life Poltergeist That Drove My Family Out of Our Home! It Changed the Way We See Everything

TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains extreme horror, psychological distress, and violence. Listener discretion is advised.

This Halloween special is not for the faint-hearted. We share the real-life ghost encounters that still haunt us today, from spirits revisiting Scott from beyond the grave, to a relentless poltergeist so powerful it drove his family out of their home. Shelby takes the terror up a notch with her chilling story of George, a ghostly presence that refuses to leave her family home and still makes itself known in the darkest hours. We unpack how fear lingers long after the lights are back on and what these encounters taught us about belief and the unknown. “Scott’s WTF of the Week” drags us into a real-life haunted house where people actually paid to be tormented year after year, until it crossed the line. “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” brings the kind of Halloween hero we all need, a man proving that generosity can be just as powerful as ghosts and gore. Finally, in our “Travel Segment” we shared our first impressions of China, we were surprised.

Transcript Quotes

“I’m not a big Poltergeist person… I’m pretty agnostic on most things… But I have had some very real experiences that I will share today.”

"It’s like a game of table tennis… one of us will say a pun about something and then the other one will say a pun about the same thing… I do love that about your relationship with your dad."
“I was scared in the moment, but the older I’ve got, the more I see it as a good thing.”
“I was really scared then, because I didn't have control. I didn't know what was happening, it really shook me from that moment."
“It really blurred the line between fear and abuse… it was this very highly immersive horror experience which eventually spirals into one of the most controversial attractions ever.”
“He buys donated clothes from Goodwill and upcycles them into fancy dress costumes for families who can’t afford a Halloween costume for their children every year.”
“Everybody seemed happy… everyone’s resting face was a smile… just clearly a content group of people.”
