“And he gave out his big laugh, it’s like this giant cackle that he had,” Holly described. “And he goes, ‘My darling!’ and he gave me a big hug and I could smell his cologne and I could feel the texture of his jacket.”
“It just felt so real,” she expressed. “When I woke up, It felt like that wasn’t just a dream, that was something more.”
“That’s what I would ask him,” she concluded. “If that was a dream or if he really came to say goodbye.”
Inside The Seance
And so she did, and on the time, it sounded just like the seance went fairly properly.
The pair livestreamed all the factor on YouTube (if in case you have greater than an hour’s time to observe them and this very good witch carry out the ceremony.)
Bridget says that their mission to contact Hugh’s spirit in addition to numerous others was a hit. Holly requested that the ghosts – as apparently there have been a number of others – not injury her house.
Apparently, the ladies heard from Hugh’s spirit, and it did sound just like the rift was mended between Holly and her departed ex.
Bridget reported that Hugh revealed to Holly that he periodically checks in on her life and her well-being from past the grave.
There have been no bizarre particular results — overturned tables or flickering lights — as a result of this was not a film.

Everybody Hates Hugh
Holly and Bridget had been two of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends featured on the truth collection, Women Subsequent Door.
Nonetheless, Holly accused Hugh of being emotionally and verbally abusive throughout their relationship.
She has spoken and written about her experiences on the Playboy Mansion, creating rigidity and a feud with fellow ex Kendra Wilkinson.
Lately, Holly has been much more candid about her time as one in all Hugh’s women. And on the podcast with Bridget, she even went into specifics about what occurred behind closed doorways.
“None of the females were into it, like sorry to burst the bubble,” Holly stated within the podcast’s first episode about intercourse with Hugh.
“We thought of it as a chore that we had to do or else we’ll get kicked out of the house,” she defined. “And everybody just wanted to make it go by as quickly as possible.”
Much more stunning is the truth that, in accordance with Madison, Hefner would “stay still during sex” and “wouldn’t move” like a “bump on the log in the middle of the bed.”

In a later episode, Bridget reveals how watching the present again has been cringy, proper from the very begin.
“It was right off the bat episode two and it just showed me like being jealous of the other girls to the point of trying to sabotage their pictorials and trying to get people drunk — and that was never, ever like what I was trying to do. These were my friends, I was happy for them and it just — it really, it was very hard to watch,” Bridget stated.
“It was hard at the time, but I kind of put it out of my mind and forgot all about it. But when we started rewatching, it was very hard for me to rewatch and I almost didn’t wanna do the podcast anymore because I thought, ‘How am I gonna even explain this?’”
