About this episode


He was only a small child when his family lived in a crowded house in Ithaca, Michigan, but there were things about that home nobody in the family forgot. An upstairs bathroom no one wanted to pass alone. Footsteps that climbed the stairs in the middle of the night. And an attic door that simply refused to stay closed.

Eventually, the family moved away, and those memories became part of a much larger lifetime of strange experiences. Decades passed before an unexpected errand brought him back to the house where it had all started.

He didn’t tell the woman living there what his family had experienced. He didn’t want to influence anything she might say. Then, just as he was preparing to leave, she asked him a question about the attic.

And suddenly, he knew the house hadn’t forgotten.

You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on. I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayon. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Chelsea Hanna from Dear Chelsea. If you travel a lot with your dog like I do with dog, feeding them well on the road can get surprisingly complicated, especially when you're touring 30 plus cities, staying in hotels, flying, driving, and basically living out of a suitcase. Brose a dog food sounds great until you realize

you don't exactly have a freezer backstage. That's why I started bringing just fresh from just food for dogs. It's real fresh dog food made with human grade ingredients with meat and vegetables. You can see in the bowl, but the difference is it's shelf stable, which means I don't need a freezer or a cooler and there's no prep. So now I can throw a few packs in my bag and Doug still gets a healthy meal wherever we are. Doug absolutely loves it. And I like knowing I am feeding my baby something that's actually good for him. It's also the number one vet recommended, fresh dog food made without preservatives or fillers. Go to justfoodfordogs.com and get 50% off your first order. This is Matt Rogers from Los Cultures.

You could do that like right this minute. I'm Carol Hughes. Kathy Gordon is here today. Oh my God, I've had that happen. Right, I was just going to say that. You have gone back to the childhood haunted house of your youth. I will. I will not. I don't care too. Well, I just drove right up, knocked on the door and said, hi. My name's Kathy and I used to live here. Can I see your house? And they were like, yeah, sure, come on in. And I did.

And it had changed immensely. Yes. And one of the things that's interesting is they weren't the people that did all those changes. They moved in after whoever had it changed it. And so I was able to stand there and say, there was a window here. There was a door here. This was the dining room. This was the kitchen. This was this. And they were fascinated by that. That I could tell them the original layout of that house. What is so weird about that house is the picture of it in my mind, what it looked like. And I think I'm picturing it the way it was. We found a listing for it on Zillow, I think, or realtor.com. I don't remember. It doesn't look anything like the house I remember. It looks so different. It looks so different. And there was an open air kind of back screened it back porch area on that house, which is not there now.

I think if I recall, someone had, they'd taken it over and made it into a room and walled it in and stuff. And so when I said there was a window here, they were like, why was there a window there? Because there's a room on the other side of it. And I said, because there wasn't a room on the other side of it. And they were like, what? And I said, yeah, that was like a porch, an outside porch. And they were like, oh, which leads me to wonder where the healthy root celler went. But that's for another day. Because it's got to be there. And it just seemed, and like, so I just pulled it up. They put brown sighting on, which is very strange. Because it was a Victorian white house. It was still like a 1906 or something. Like they changed the windows. Like there was a big picture window in the living room. Now it's the same on both sides, which looks really weird. They put a little balcony on the upstairs, so a walk out from the master bedroom.

So there's a little sitting area outside up there. And it even seems like they lowered the porch. Because I remember, because when I'd go to Brenda's next door, you would jump off the side. It wasn't like you just one step down. You had to jump down. Now it's all flattened with the, it's so strange. It doesn't it all look like the house we lived in. It looks very different. And so that was interesting. Oh, yeah. Now I'm looking at the back of it. So you see what I'm talking about? Yes. So after we moved out, they changed it to two apartments. And so there was two windows from bedrooms on the back side. Now there's just one. And then they turned it into a garage where that the cellar and everything was. So it's just weird. It just looks so different. But the weird part of it is it's weird for people just to look at me and go, sure, come in.

And it was weird. It was like they felt like they wanted to. And they, as I got in there, I felt like they wanted me in here so they could talk to me about this house because I knew what this house felt like. And so as we went around the house, I'd tell them where everything was. But then at the end of the house, the woman at the end of the little tour, the woman said, did anything ever happen to you in this house? And I said, you mean like ghosts? And she said, yeah. And I said, yeah, but I'm not going to tell you about it because you're still living here. I said, when you move out of this house, let me know. I'll tell you all about it. But you know, and she just kind of looked at me, but yeah, it was kind of like, okay, I can go with that. Like I had given her a reassurance that she wasn't crazy that there was something weird in this house,

but she wasn't going, but I wasn't going to make her unnerved by my weird stories. But by what you just told her, if that had happened to me, that would have unnerved me a lot. Like, no, it's so bad. She doesn't want to tell me. Well, that's the way I would feel it. I just didn't want her to lay in bed thinking about these weird stories I told her. And now her mind's gonna be racing. What could the weird stories be? Was there something demonic in this house? I think it validated her though. Okay. Where she went, okay, I'm not going crazy. Well, this is it. Now, with that said, I'd like to sit down and talk to her about it. And I think it would be really interesting to compare notes. I probably, if it had been me, which I won't go back in there, and part because I don't want all the dreams and everything to start up again, but I would have been really curious to hear what she had to say if that confirms my own stories,

if there's any similarities. So I don't know. So here's the story. This is from Jim. He emailed it to me. You know, y'all can email me anytime you want. Carolatrealstorymedia.com. But it says, my first four years, we spent in a house in Ithaca, Michigan. I lived there with my five brothers, one sister, my mom and dad and my grandmother. It wasn't that big of a house, but we had to make do. All but one story is what I was told by my brothers and sister. I was still a toddler when we moved, but I still remember so much about that house. The layout was that when you entered the house, you walked into the dining room, to the left was a big coat room. If you walked to the left and straight ahead, you walked into the kitchen. If you took a right turn, there was a bathroom. If you walked into that house to the right, was a living room. That was sectioned off in the middle, so my grandmother had her own space. When you walked into the living room, just to your left, was a set of stairs to the upstairs.

At the top of the stairs was a bathroom. You would take a right, walk down the hallway to two bedrooms. The bedroom on the right was my parents bedroom. As you walked into it, there was an attic to the right. The bedroom on the left is where my siblings slept. This is weird. The bathroom upstairs had a presence in it. Oh, yeah. There's two things about this story that Kathy is going to be like, what? And that's the one of them. Yup. The upstairs bathroom had a presence in it. It always seemed like a shadow figure was standing there looking out the door. We always went upstairs to bed together because we had to pass by it. We used the bathroom downstairs before bed. Same. Yup. Absolutely. Then listen. I used the bathroom downstairs all the time. Like I never wanted to do the upstairs. About 1 a.m. every morning, we heard footsteps coming up the stairs. They always stopped at the top of the landing by the bathroom.

Oh, my God. There's life. That's right. I'm having PTSD, right? And there's another part of the story yet to come. As for the attic, the store, excuse me. As for the attic, the door never stayed latched. One day, one of my brothers dared another one to go into the attic. Well, kids being stupid, he did. The minute he walked in, the door slammed shut and the lights started going on and off. It wasn't electrical because he saw the light switch moving up and down. After about 15 seconds, the light stayed on and the door opened. My other brother was hunkered down on the floor in a corner, nowhere near the attic. As for my encounter with that attic, I was walking back into the room in the middle of the night. I'm not sure where I was coming from, but when I walked back into the bedroom, the attic door came open. The light turned on. I was frozen in place. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even scream from my mom and dad. The last thing I can remember happening in that house was my grandmother visiting my mother the night

she died in the hospital. She told her not to worry that she was fine. Shortly after that, we moved out of the house. You would think that was the end of that house, but we'll get back to that later. Then listen to this. This is a Michigan. We moved into a house in Alma, not much happened, which is weird, because that's really, we lived. Now maybe in Michigan, they call it Alma. Could be. I'm going to call it Alma, because that's how the town we lived in was pretty nice. Well, that's how the Braskins would say. So Michigan might say Alma, but for the sake of what's familiar to me, I'm going to say Alma. Not much happened in it, except my brothers were playing with a Ouija board and the table lifted off the floor. Nothing else happened for years. That's a lot. We built a house and moved in 1973. Nothing happened in the new house until about 1999. I think that's interesting.

My oldest daughter was born a day after my mom died in 1997. When she was sleeping in my bed next to me and started screaming and pointing at the ceiling, then she just stopped. My daughter and her mom lived with her mom and dad. My oldest daughter used to say that a man dressed like a woman kept trying to get her to go into the basement at night. What? Yeah. We had a second daughter in 2003 and moved into another house in Alma. That is when all hell broke loose, so to speak. As you entered this house from the mudroom, you walked into the dining room on your left or two bedrooms in the stairs to the second level. On your right was the entrance to the kitchen. Walk straight ahead, you entered the living room. Off the living room on your left was a mother-in-law apartment. The upstairs was laid out so that once you got to the landing, you had a bedroom on the right, another on the left. Once you entered the bedroom on the left,

there was a hallway that led to another bedroom. The bathroom was connected to both bedrooms on both sides of the landing. We had moved into that house because my kids' moms, mom and dad, moved in with us. In the beginning, I slept upstairs in the big bedroom. Grandpa moved into the smaller one. Downstairs, the kids shared a bedroom. Their mom had a room bedroom and grandma lived in the apartment attached to the living room. It started slow and innocent enough. One night, my two-year-old daughter was sitting up in bed in the upstairs bedroom. She kept pointing at the door, leading to the hallway and laughing. I asked her if we were alone and she shook her head no. I asked if she wanted it to go away and she shook her head, yes. I rolled over, looked at the door and said, go away. My daughter laid down, went to sleep. One day, my kids' mom was going to take a nap upstairs in the small bedroom. Just as she was dosing off, she heard, shh, in her ear.

At this time, grandpa and grandma had moved out and I moved downstairs into the mother-in-law apartment. It started escalating one night when my oldest daughter was sitting on her bed reading a book. She heard a noise behind her, turned around and saw a man dressed like a menonite, standing behind her. Maybe their ghost likes to dress up in different things. That's straight. He introduced himself and asked if she had seen his wife. She said no and then he just faded away. I asked why didn't she yell for me and she said she knew he was a ghost. She had watched a lot of ghost shows with me when she was little. At that point, she started sleeping with her light on all night. I asked her why and she said because when the light went out, the people in the closet started talking to her. I had seen enough ghost shows to believe her so we let her sleep with the lights on. One morning, she told us that a little girl was standing outside her window, called her name

and asked if she wanted to go to her house to play. She told us she closed the window and ignored her. About this time, my other daughter, who was about four years old, started sleeping with a Bible in her bed next to her head. She had a full-length mirror hanging in her closet. She had to have a light shining on the closet because she was afraid of it. I offered to put a door on it as she refused. At the time, we had three dogs, a golden retriever, an Australian shepherd and a chihuahua. They all slept in her room between her and the closet. Well, this went on for years until my oldest daughter turned 18. At that point, her grandmother became sick and had to move back in. My oldest daughter moved into the trailer. Her grandmother had moved out of. Grandma moved into the apartment again. I moved into my oldest daughter's room. My daughter's advice to me was, never sleep with a window open. This is when my problem started.

I woke up one night and saw a giant spider on the wall. It wasn't a regular-sized giant spider. It was enormous. I jumped out of bed, turned the light on, it vanished. This started becoming a nightly event. Sometimes I woke up and saw dark orbs flying through the air, hitting the walls and splattering on them. One night I saw a big baby with a huge green head climbing on my ceiling. Another night I woke up to a gnome, sticking out of the wall and it slowly faded back in. At that point, I started looking at night hallucinations. I figured it might just be hypnogodgic and hypnopompic hallucinations, but I never had them until I moved into that bedroom. After my daughter moved out, she came over every night to visit. And she still had problems. A woman showed up on her front porch and kept running back and forth yelling, fire. She could see it, her sister could see it, and her mom could see it, but I couldn't.

Okay, I'm trying to understand that one. So the daughter of moved out, she came over every night to visit. And then one night that woman showed up on the porch, everybody could see her by him. Okay, we started getting three knocks on the door. We would check the camera, nobody there. I had to walk my daughter to her car because she said the man she saw when she was younger always stood out by the road. I finally let her part closer to the house in my spot, but I still had to stand by the door until she left. After a few years grandma passed away, that left four of the seven people who had originally moved in. We had three believers and one skeptic. The skeptic would soon become a believer. I moved back into the apartment. You would think that would have been the end of my problems, but they got stranger. One night I was going to sleep and something slammed into my bed. I still had the orbs smashing against the wall. The three strangest things that had ever happened to me

were these. I woke up one night, there were two circus clowns having a taffy pull in my room. That's unexpected, nobody expects that. I woke another night with a portal on my ceiling. The last thing I saw in that house was a shadow figure leaning into my bedroom and then just going back into the living room. We had a housekeeper, one day she just up and quit. She said she felt someone rush up behind her when she was cleaning upstairs. The skeptic became a believer one night when she woke up and saw two old ladies having a conversation in the middle of her bedroom. The next night she saw the lady on the front porch. Around this time, she needed something sewn, so she asked if I would take it to the lady. I'm not sure who the lady is. I said sure. She handed me a piece of paper with a address on it. She started telling me how to get there. I stopped her and said, I know exactly where this house is. Ah, pulling into the driveway,

I was a little nervous about what I was going to find inside. As the lady let me in, I looked around to take it all in. It looked like I had stepped back in time, so this was the house he used to live in. I swear they had the same wallpaper in the dining room. Their table was in the exact same spot we had ours. The only things that were different were that the wall was down in the living room and the carpet was different. I informed the lady that I had lived there as a child. She found it interesting and asked if I would like to look around. I said, nope, I'm good. I stood there and chatted a little more and then I said I had to leave. And as I was turning for the door, she asked if she could ask me a question. I said, sure. Her question was whether anything weird had happened when I lived there. I asked like what? Not wanting to lean her into anything. She asked if we had to keep closing the attic door. I said, yes. She then told me they had just ended up had locking it shut.

She asked about the footsteps and whether the upstairs bathroom creeped us out. And I told her that it did. After that, I left. I've been in and out of that house many times since. It still creeps me out. A couple of other things that happened in the house we lived in. I'm not sure which one. Must be the second one. One night my youngest daughter had some friends staying overnight. I was in my apartment when my daughter came in and asked if I could check out the old bedroom that my oldest daughter and I had used. Three of the girls swore they saw a man look around the corner. One last thing happened before I moved out. My youngest daughter started seeing a young boy standing just outside her bedroom looking in. He would never come in. He said his name was Connor. She said she would sometimes see Connor standing in different rooms at the house just watching her. A few nights she said she would see people milling about in the dining room. She had a full-length mirror hanging on the wall in her closet. I'm not sure what started the argument one night over it,

but her mom told her to get rid of it. She had a bad feeling about it for a long time. While my daughter refused, so her mom got up, took it off the wall, carried it outside, threw it into the trash bin. The mirror broke and you could hear the scream of a woman. It was very cold out, but it didn't make a breaking sound. It sounded like a loud scream. She had no more problems with anything after that. I also didn't have any more hallucinations while living with my oldest daughter. I moved out of the trailer and my youngest daughter moved in with my oldest daughter after we sold the house. She says it still feels like Connor's with her, but she can't see him. She sees shadows of people outside the trailer and sees a giant black blob in front of the trailer, but she feels like it's protective. I didn't have anything strange happened to me after moving out of the house. Well, I should say I hadn't had anything up until I contacted Carol on February 16th. It's me, Carol.

Since then I've had three more. The portal has appeared over my bed again. I had ice cream dripping from the ceiling. That sounds like the clowns are involved with that. I had a lady with a big stack of $100 bills standing by my bed. I grabbed for them, hoping that was real. I'm still waiting to wake up and see my favorite supermodel standing there. Now let's get a few things out of the way. No carbon monoxide leaks. We had detectors. I was not on drugs and I don't think Satan was involved. That would be for Tony. Sorry this was so long, but I know Carol doesn't like cliffhangers and I don't. So how much of what I said do you think was hallucinations? And how much do you think was paranormal? Also do you think I had an attachment from going into that house? That's from Jim. I do think some of it could have been hallucinations because some of it all kind of makes sense to me.

It seems like now we are talking two different houses and the one with the attic. I think that was all paranormal. Addict door's opening, shutting lights on and off. Yeah, okay. Yeah, let's talk the first house. Yeah. First, I'm with you. Whatever was going on in that house, I felt like super paranormal. The parallels between where we lived and that house were kind of amazing. I know, I thought so too. The going up the stairs and then to the bathroom. We had the same thing. The only thing I would add to that is they had to walk around a vanister down a little hall to get to the bathroom. But it was like the same thing walking up the stairs at night into that creepy-ass bathroom. So that's weird. Then there was, it seemed like there was something else that happened in. Oh, the light on in the attic, was that it?

Right, that door would shut down. And the attic door was opening a lot and stuff like that. My dad said there was a similar thing that happened in our house, but it was the cellar light would come on and you could see it around the door. It's weird. The parallels were really super strange between that house and this one. And now I'm taking it, the first house, he grew up in, correct? There were so many things to these stories. I'm trying to keep it all straight. But he grew up or at least spent several years of his childhood in that house, correct? Yes. Then I think he got older, they moved into a house and I think he has an interesting relationship with his wife because, or the mother of his kids, because he never refers to her as his wife. So I think they co-parented because he would talk about moving into a room himself. I thought maybe they're still kind of living which I don't think is cool.

I do too. I think it's wonderful for the kids. Yeah, if that's, you know, if that's if we're reading it correctly. And it helped the grandparents out. So, and the first house, they were helping the grandparents out. So I really appreciate that. But I think, so I think the first house, 100% haunted, I think it's really interesting that he went back, there is an adult. Then I think they moved to Alma. He says, he said we built a house and moved in 1973. Nothing happened in the new house until 1999. So that's kind of confusing to me. What would have changed? Like, something. Well, now there was the mirror issue. Did somebody bring the mirror in? Doesn't it just sound like a regular mirror in the closet? I'm just wondering if the mirror itself, you know, it was broken, they heard a scream or whatever. I'm wondering if that started because something was brought into the house.

That just seems like a long time to go. Well, that's what I'm thinking. Like, I guess to answer your question, Jim, do you think something was attached to you from that other house? I don't understand what the wide void of years then. Right. Then they moved into it, yet a different house. Okay, okay. So in 2003, they had a second daughter moved into another house. That's when all hell broke loose. So I think the middle house, not a ton of activity. But then... Yeah, and the mirror is in the newest house. Correct. The new house and the house he grew up in, definitely seemed haunted to me. But I do think there are some things at the later house, you know, he lived in with his kids. I think that we're paranormal. There's some of it that could have been a hallucination. Like, because they say with those hypnopompic and hypnogodic hallucinations,

it's just... It's kind of like what happens is you... Your brain is still asleep, but your body woke up. So you're still kind of in a dream state. So you can see something like the clowns or the ice cream dripping from the ceiling, maybe even the large spider. That could be all associated with a dream. And you wake up and you see it, and it seems quite real, because it's taken that split second for your brain to get caught up. But then there are things that happen in that house that I definitely feel like was paranormal. You know, the daughters were seeing things, seeing apparitions, and, you know, like the one daughter's seeing Connor, and then she feels like if Connor might have followed her, maybe, but I also think it could be almost a PTSD thing that Connor might not have followed her, but it's really hard to let that feeling go that you're being watched.

Because I get that, that happened to me. I had a problem with just not ever being able to sleep comfortably because something could wake me up in the middle of the night or something could go walking around the house. And so that took a long time. You know, I know I'm gonna go out and sound a little bit funky here, but just bear with me. Could we have a combo? Something paranormal is in the room, right? Some shadow figure, something more traditional. I think where I draw the line a little bit are these entire story lines, right? That you have clowns that are doing taffy or women with $100, but like they're almost like little vignette stories. And I think what if there's something in the room that's creepy, but you're half asleep

or you're in that weird dreamlike phase. And so you just appoint a storyline to it. Like we do in dreams all the time where something is really happening in the house. The phone truly, your phone truly is ringing, but you make a whole dream about a fire alarm going off and then you realize, wait a minute, no, that's my phone, you know, or something. I'm wondering because that room seemed to have, there were these things. I'm wondering if there were things but that Jim is such a deep sleeper and a vivid dreaming sleeper that, yeah, there's something creepy in the room and he senses it. So he just has this weird hallucination of it being a spider, but there possibly is something that's causing him to have these weird visions. Does that make sense? It's a little bit of both. I think some of that stuff like the clowns, I could almost dismiss that because you can't really explain it.

So it could be what you're saying. It could be one of those sleep hallucinations which are kind of going to be pretty similar. Which like I said, like I think maybe it's like a combo of sleep hallucination. And maybe there is something in the room and you're sensing it and it's making you dream these bizarre things. But I just think that enough happened in that house. You know, when he did some debunking, we don't have any carbon monoxide issues. I'm not a dog's. So I think that I definitely think and answer to his question. I think you could have some sleep hallucinations going on, but I do think a lot of what was happening in the house was definitely paranormal. And he said, do you think I had an attachment going into that house? Was this other question? That's hard to say because the attachment wasn't just to Jim. There was other people experiencing it too. So I think I mean kind of, I don't think so.

I think there was truly a haunting in the house. The girls were seeing figures. That's something that's really there. They weren't asleep. I think she saw it into the doorway. I think he honored in haunted houses. Yeah, I do too. I really do. Now, was there a mirror that had something going on? Could have been you and I are kind of creeped out by mirrors. So I think that's possible. What do you think about like drawing the line? Like I said, between these weird like story lines, you have a person would have like the clowns and the taffy, the woman with the hundred dollar bills. Those are the ones that I'd almost not even focus on. That's the ones I think would be the hallucination ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think, yeah, so I think for Jim's sanity, you could dismiss that and go, okay, don't know what that was, that was weird.

But there's enough paranormal stuff that I feel is separate from that. I agree, I agree. And like you said, you can go, when you're living in that environment, you are going to sleep in a weird space every night, a weird head space. I agree. So that could all be connected to a dream state. Yeah, I think we shape sometimes a dream around something that is actually happening. Yeah. I don't know. So I found that to be very interesting.

That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayon. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. That's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea. Traveling with Doug is one of my favorite things. But when you're on tour like I am bouncing between 35 cities, feeding your dog can get complicated.

And that's why I started bringing just fresh from just food for dogs. It's real fresh dog food made with human grade ingredients that he's been obsessed with. But it's shelf stable. So I don't need a freezer or a cooler or a whole travel operation just to feed my dog. Doug loves it and I feel good giving it to him. So go to justfoodsfordogs.com and get 50% off your first order.

If you travel a lot with your dog like I do with dog, feeding them well on the road can get surprisingly complicated, especially when you're touring 30 plus cities, staying in hotels, flying, driving, and basically living out of a suitcase. Bros of dog food sounds great until you realize you don't exactly have a freezer backstage. That's why I started bringing just fresh from just food for dogs. It's real fresh dog food made with human grade ingredients with meat and vegetables. You can see in the bowl, but the difference is, it's shelf stable, which means I don't need a freezer or a cooler and there's no prep. So now I can throw a few packs in my bag and Doug still gets a healthy meal wherever we are. Doug absolutely loves it. And I like knowing I am feeding my baby something that's actually good for him. It's also the number one vet recommended fresh dog food made without preservatives or fillers. Go to justfoodfordogs.com and get 50% off your first order.

You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, wait, that's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about flavor use it. Never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Most dog food brands don't really want you

seeing how their food is made. Just food for dogs is the opposite. They actually invite you in. You can walk into any of their kitchens and see real human grade ingredients, like chicken, beef, carrots, and peas being prepared right in front of you. It's real food made in real kitchens. Nothing is hidden behind labels. And that kind of transparency says a lot. Nothing to hide, everything to love. Go to justfoodfordogs.com and get 50% off your first order.

QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Think about it. When it comes to your own food, you can walk into a restaurant,

see what's being made and know exactly what you're getting. But with dog food, most brands keep that completely hidden. Just food for dogs does the opposite. They've built their entire brand around open kitchens. You can actually walk in and watch them prepare your dogs meals with real human grade ingredients like chicken, beef, carrots, and peas cooked right there in front of you. No mystery, no behind the scenes you're not allowed to see. That kind of transparency is rare in the pet food world. And it's a big reason they've become the number one that recommended fresh dog food, earning trust from pet parents who want to feel confident in what they're feeding. When a brand is willing to show you exactly how your dog's food is made, it says a lot about the care, quality, and standards behind every meal they produce. Nothing to hide, everything to love.
