Let's start with that athhole, the 41 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:21.879 white you're trying to tell me that the first contestant is just them athhole from 42 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:28.439 Indonesia. Man, you can keep this myth cryptic contest, thank you, 43 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.040 celebrity judge iced tea. Man, it's no problem. Oh that's right. 44 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.480 Uh this uh, this first contestant is the Ahu sometimes known as sometimes known 45 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:47.279 as I'm guessing it's atole, but it's spelled athhole at hoel athel death right, 46 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.600 man, look at that athol the thought that's what I'm trying to tell 47 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:56.680 you, the athole in the jungle these uh. This is a large bat 48 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.920 like creature native to the Jungles of Java in Indonesia. It's said to have 49 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.680 a wingspan of three meters, it's around twelve feet and have a height of 50 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.639 almost one and a half meters it's four and a half feet tall. While 51 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.240 some claim it is a gar gunchin bat, others say it's some kind of 52 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:20.399 flying primate, not necessarily a monkey bat, but maybe bot be monkey bat, 53 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:26.839 monkey baby, monkey bat bat bat bee. Also could just be an 54 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.040 immature bat squatch, could be. It has a long snout on a chimp's 55 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:36.920 face, huh, has dark eyes, red skinned wings, claws on its 56 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.600 forearms and feet, a long, thick crest of raised hair, and is 57 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:48.759 covered in gray fur now flora. When when did this this flying nightmare show 58 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:53.959 up on the scene. Well, a little while ago, twenty minutes ago. 59 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:59.399 We're coming up on the hundredth anniversary. Soon, We're like, just 60 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:04.600 pass the ninetieth dude, closer to one hundred than fifty. That is not 61 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:10.240 how numbers work, how everything works. It was first reported in nineteen twenty 62 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:15.920 five when a zoologist named Ernest Bartles was conducting field research regarding the listing of 63 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:21.240 new species of birds in the waterfalls in the mountains of Salac on Java. 64 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:28.199 There's a lot of volcanic activity, or old volcanoes and volcanoes fresh and young 65 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.000 too. Well. There's also a lot of vulcan nick activity around there. 66 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:39.560 Mister Salac Mountain, whilst recording some data, something flew over him, an 67 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.560 apparent bat like animal, unlike anything he'd ever seen. Later investigations by the 68 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:49.759 encrypti zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson included reports on sightings of this creature, especially 69 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.360 among the natives. Apparently they already knew the animal and treated it as one 70 00:06:55.399 --> 00:07:00.240 more of its fauna. Just another thing in the woods, the white your 71 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.120 thing. It's just another athol, Just another athol running around the woods. 72 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.519 Man. I'm never getting tired of this joke. They are said to feed 73 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:17.319 on fish and the occasional humor. One interesting note is that although the descriptions 74 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.240 of the animal are very similar according to witnesses, the proportions are sometimes varied, 75 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.680 as some claim that it can measure as much as a grown man, 76 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:31.199 while others say it's size it's much smaller, like a toddler. Flying toddlers 77 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.360 are more scary to me than flying grown man. Flying toddlers are athols. 78 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.399 I don't know. I feel like, I mean, giant fruit bats might 79 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.839 be in that may giant bats maybe at that point, monkeys also jump from 80 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.959 tree to tree. It could be sailing overhead and appear to be flying. 81 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.319 Yeah, at that point, it's just how is it not a giant bat 82 00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.000 of some type? You know, Like that's a that's a pretty largely unexplored 83 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.879 area still, isn't it. Yeah, it's to get in there, yeah, 84 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.199 And and they do find things in those forests that no one thought were 85 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.879 there. So I kind of feel like with this one could lean more towards 86 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.480 a real thing out there, just yeah, bigger than what we're used to 87 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.959 bat species or like a flying squirrel, but of the raccoon size variety, 88 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.279 flying pandas, flying flying red pandas. That would be cool. Yeah, 89 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.120 to have a whole new thing as opposed to just oh, it's just a 90 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.960 bigger bat than than We don't need a bigger bat people. What we need 91 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.559 is something new and awesome. We need we need one in flying raccoon monkey 92 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.879 things. Yeah, what do you think I dig it? I in that 93 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.000 part of the world. I'll say this, I don't doubt that these people 94 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.000 all saw something, and I think that it's it's kind of a horse race 95 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:00.320 as to what it could be. There are lots of small monk keys, 96 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.759 there's orangutans, you know, there's lots of things that can go whipping through 97 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.480 the air over someone. And they do have pretty large bats there too, 98 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.080 I don't I don't know if they have the the titular giant bats there, 99 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.919 I don't know. And also, you know, we we've run into this 100 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.840 thousand times. It's hard to tell when something's in the air how far it 101 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.559 is from you, Yeah, the perspective on it and how big it is 102 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.600 and stuff. Although I feel like maybe this one gets a little bit because 103 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.519 I mean it's jungle, so there's got to be a trees all around a 104 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.639 lot, so maybe it's a yeah. But if it's you know, if 105 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.759 it's going over a clearing or something, could be hard to tell the exact 106 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.559 size because you're not sure how far it is In our Thunderbirds episode, we 107 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:46.080 reference the roping, which is I think in nearby. It's in an island 108 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.960 nearby. I forget if it's Papua New Guinea or an island down around there. 109 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.559 But the locals, we're talking about this creature that more resembled a taridon 110 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:03.919 yeah than a bat. But it's something that the locals swear, you know, 111 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.120 is is just another animal the of the area. But to us who 112 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:15.759 haven't seen catalogued scientifically torn it apart, it doesn't currently exist, right what 113 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.080 I mean? So I you know that they connect the Ahul and all these 114 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.240 athols to rope and and things in that area. I don't know, It's 115 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.200 just it's another thing where natives are like, yeah, it's here, we 116 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.519 we everybody knows about it. Why don't you know about it? Yeah? 117 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.960 But you know, people say the same thing about angels. You know, 118 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.120 I don't know who who's who says saying I mean, you could you could 119 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.879 run into a person that was like, oh, yeah, well there's angels 120 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.480 or you know, fairies. You know, they say that. I'm not 121 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:50.440 saying okay, I'm saying that it's hard to tell if they are describing a 122 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.080 belief held through storytelling or if they're describing something that. Yeah, no, 123 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.039 I do run into these things sometimes it's hard. It's just hard to tell. 124 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.279 Yeah, yeah, it's my point. I got you. I thought 125 00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:05.559 it was like a regional thing. I was like like Georgia. Anyways, 126 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:13.080 that Ladies and gentlemen is your first contestant. It is the apol as known 127 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.080 as the ahu up. Next, where are you flying us too? Next? 128 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.559 Dave did Jolio Danglin Oi ya just toying a mate off friendly Almon. 129 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.039 The Awlman, also known as the Cornish Alman or the Alman of Monon. 130 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.639 This is a human bird man, cited several times recently in the village of 131 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.000 Monon, Cornwall, England. Man. I don't know Cornish accent, so 132 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.600 I can't even attempt it, right, I don't. Sorry, Sorry, 133 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.600 guys, Yeah, it'll just have to be stereotypical English for you. The 134 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:54.120 first sightings of the almon occurred around April nineteen seventy six, when Don Melling 135 00:11:54.120 --> 00:12:00.240 and his daughters John de Melling I was I was at in England and my 136 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:05.279 daughters man to June that she was twelve back then, Vicky here, she's 137 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.240 nine years old. This character comes from the Andy Daily podcast pilot project. 138 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.679 Or also, I mean he's been a comedy bang bang, it's Andy Daily's 139 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:18.840 character. We're stealing it. So it's a fun great um. Anyway, 140 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.679 they were on easter break. It's so Don Demelling and his daughter's June and 141 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.080 Vicki, twelve and nine, were on easter break. Other girls were walking 142 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.919 through the woods when they saw a creature described as look up, big man 143 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.679 with flapping way. He's mad with flapping wings. They wasn't look a big 144 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.879 man daddy big flapping wings did. Don took the frightening kids to the police, 145 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.759 but declined an interview, opting instead to have them draw the creature separately. 146 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.360 The drawings were very similar, and the family cut their break short three 147 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.879 days to bug her off back home to Lancashire. That's that's funny. He 148 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:56.279 was like, let's go to the police, but don't talk to them, 149 00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.519 right. But he also was like, I want this right. Separate the 150 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.120 girls. See if there's stories match, See if the stories match. I 151 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.440 want to see if this is just a jape at all expense. I want 152 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.000 to see if they're having a laugh, having a bit of fun. You're 153 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:18.840 having laugh girls, No, we're not having a laugh. Later that year, 154 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.240 two fourteen year old girls, one Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry captain in 155 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.399 a vicinity of the church and a hissing sound In turn to see a figure. 156 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.679 It looked like an owl as big as a man, and they described 157 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.879 it dusty. It was not a big owl a port it is big as 158 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.639 a man. In mind it was your eyes were red and glowing. At 159 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.759 first I thought it was someone dressed up, paying a joke, having a 160 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.240 bit of a laugh and having laughed, trying to scare us. Well, 161 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.519 I laughed at it. We had a laugh, we both did, and 162 00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:01.320 then it went up in the air. We both screamed. When it went 163 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.960 up, you could see its feet were locked. Pincers, classic pincers classic. 164 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.080 Sorry, everybody, I just I just kept doing that voice. Remember 165 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:15.240 they were teenagers. Oh yeah, you know those Cornwall girls. They've got 166 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:22.519 that stare like cornish look. Paranormal researcher named Tony Shields had them draw their 167 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.720 sightings, and their drawings were also very similar. A few days later, 168 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.440 another sighting occurred by another girl saying it has red slanting eyes in a very 169 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:37.399 large mouth. The feathers are silvery gray, and so is body and legs. 170 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:45.679 The feet are like a big black crab's clothes. Maybe frightened at the 171 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:52.360 time, it was so strange, not something out of the whole film. 172 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.200 After the thing went up, they were crackling sounds in the tree tops for 173 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.519 ages. Oh, mother, we made it all up just because we read 174 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.320 about these things. But it's not true. We really saw the birdman, 175 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.840 though. It could have been someone playing a trick in a very good custom 176 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.639 and makeup. But who could rise up like that? If we imagined it, 177 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.799 then we both imagined it at the same time. After that, the 178 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.480 sightings thinned out, but in nineteen eighty six Shields so did the listeners of 179 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.759 this episode. Sightings thinned out, but in nineteen eighty six Shields was accused 180 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.799 of hoaxing the encounters. In nineteen eighty nine, a man going by the 181 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:39.559 name of Gavin and his girl friend Classic hover Hander claimed you have seen a 182 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.159 creature about five feet tall. The legs had high ankles, and the feet 183 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.039 were large and black, with two huge toes. On the visible side. 184 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.720 The creature was gray with brown and the eyes definitely glowed. Of that we 185 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.759 are quite certain definitely, they're more definitely a glowing A glowery was. In 186 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:03.919 nineteen ninety five, a female tourist for Chicago sent a letter to the local 187 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:11.519 newspaper, the Western Morning News in nearby Truro. It said, Dear Sir, 188 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.480 I am a student of marine biology at the Field Museum in Chicago. 189 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:22.200 On a last day of summer vacation in England last Sunday evening, I had 190 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.240 a most unique and frightening experience in a wooded area here the old Church in 191 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:33.879 Mounting Cernwall. I experienced what I can only describe hiss, a vision from 192 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:40.080 hell. The time was fifteen minutes after nine more or less, and I 193 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:44.080 was about I was walking along in a narrow track through the trees. I 194 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:48.240 was all fitting my tracks, when about thirty meters ahead, that's like a 195 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.679 thirty yards or so, I saw a monstrous man birthday. It was the 196 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:57.879 size of dica, with a ghastly face, a widemouth lowing ice, and 197 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.799 pointed ears. It had used claude wings and was covered in fetters of a 198 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.319 silver gray color. The thing he had long bird legs, was terminated and 199 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:14.680 in large black class. He saw me in rows floating I see in quotes 200 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:19.000 towards me. I just screamed and turned and ran for my life. The 201 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:26.440 whole experience was totally irrational and dreamlight Lincoln nightmare. My friends tell me that 202 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.920 there is a tradition of a phantom alman in that district. Now and in 203 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.880 a way, they told me that I've seen the phantom myself, Police ont 204 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.640 publish with my real name and address. This could adversely affect my career. 205 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:48.720 Now I have to rethink my quote unquote worldview entirely. Yours very sincerely scared, 206 00:17:49.720 --> 00:18:02.920 Yeah, wn Tommy Trobiowski. Also, I'm a girl, Linda Trois 207 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.680 Dammi Trobiowski. I think that's pretty funny. Have you ever heard of someone 208 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:15.799 being a student at the Field Museum, No and studying marine biology there? 209 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:21.880 Yeah? That none of that makes sense. It's like saying I'm a culinary 210 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.839 student at the Louver Yeah right, yeah, like no one, you don't 211 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.519 no one studies there? Do they teach classes? Do they? Maybe? 212 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:37.480 Ninety five? Yeah? Before our time, Dammy Trobiowski is the guest and 213 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.400 the knocking a few back, you know, just to take the edge off, 214 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.240 and then she starts telling tales. I believe it. Here's some other 215 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.920 odd phenomena. During the spring of nineteen seventy six, the weathering Cornwall went 216 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:53.680 through extreme shifts between unusual heat and cold snaps. Animals started behaving strangely, 217 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:59.119 and there are reports of packs of dogs and cats and birds terrorizing people. 218 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.200 In a edition, there was an upsurge in UFO reports around the countryside. 219 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.799 Was also suggested that the church may be built on a lay line. Oh 220 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.160 yo, we did that, which is a line that passes through you know, 221 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.799 it links ancient sites with mystic energy. And Jim jam uh And speculated 222 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.680 that the appearance of the alman may be a manifestation of earth energy in that 223 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:25.720 place. So that kind of gets a little bothmanny, you know, like 224 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.519 harbinish, yeah ish, I don't know, or as we said, could 225 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.200 have been straight up hoaxed by shields, or it could have been escaped you 226 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:41.680 know from uh from the circus, from zoos or circuses secret British landed gentry 227 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.759 societies. Yeah, al yeah, I'll tell you what. I don't trust 228 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.599 Tammy's story. I don't either, Yeah, from that first sentence. It's 229 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:53.960 fun to think of it being like a lay line guardian or something. Yeah, 230 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.119 but or like like the like how much we love talking about or me 231 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:02.519 talking about rifts. Maybe it's something coming through their aft. I wonder if 232 00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:07.720 there's anything too that weird stuff going on in UH seventy six. Yeah, 233 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.480 it sounds like there was just I mean, and who's to say what was 234 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.599 the initial thing? Was it that the u the upticking, the uptick in 235 00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:21.000 UFO activity was affecting the weather other way around where the shifts creating weird uh 236 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:26.119 climate tingistions that made optical effects. You know there's I mean, like where 237 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.319 where what's the what's the cause and what's the effect and what's the arrow of 238 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:34.079 Yeah? Could it have been like an eagle owl in particular, like a 239 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:41.880 just a big owl that maybe maybe he was getting affected by whatever the weird 240 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:45.759 weather stuff was going on that was causing all the dogs and the cats to 241 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.880 fuck you know. Maybe there's a gigant or owl that was that was like 242 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.039 you know what, I want'll go to church and I want to scare little 243 00:20:55.079 --> 00:21:00.440 girls. Yeah, there it is just girls that saw it. Who the 244 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:07.160 girls? Who? That's the albument for you last certainly not least well you'll 245 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:18.480 determine that the gal raw ya raw raw. This is a creature of Arkansas 246 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:23.599 folklore. Wait, did we finally get into an Arkansas folk myths? Is 247 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.480 a straight up Arkansas folk We have threatened it forever. That may be more 248 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:33.599 tall till than Krypton. It was a dragon like animal twenty feet long, 249 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:38.400 with tusks and a row of small horn spikes down its back. Its tail 250 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:45.440 was long and thin and ended in a blade shaped spike. Sweet. It 251 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:51.039 was reported in the Arkansas Gazette on January thirty first, eighteen ninety seven. 252 00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:52.799 The story went, wait, wait, at this point, you gotta queue 253 00:21:52.839 --> 00:22:00.160 up like some jangly eighteen some pianny from like a saloon bar. Yeah, 254 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.599 I got some piani in there. Nice story with it. William Miller, 255 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:08.359 a little Rock businessman who had been traveling in the Ozarks of northwest Arkansas, 256 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:15.519 told of a whole a monster known as the gal Row. Its name came 257 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:22.240 from the noise it made during its nocturnal depredations gross the creature. The creature 258 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:29.079 had been slaughtering livestock and pits near Blanco in Searcy County in calf Creek Township. 259 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.359 Miller formed a posse that tracked the gal raw to its layer. What 260 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.960 a time to be alive when every problem is solved with a Posset's how you 261 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.480 do it. If only only we had that these days, I'll bet you. 262 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.519 You know, like, there were certain communities that were like, hey, 263 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.160 guys, you know I get it. When we first moved here, 264 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:51.680 everyone was real excited, But can we can we can we lower the number 265 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:55.480 of posses? Well, Dale hedgens, you know he's gonna call posse the 266 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:59.039 man he hears something happened. He's just posse crazy. I'm like, can 267 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:03.720 you can't someone talk him out of it? Hits his right and everyone hates 268 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.480 Dale because he's like, let's get a posse. They're like, I really 269 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.640 just wanted to stay home tonight, Dale, Ah, right in the middle 270 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:18.119 of dinner, there's the posse bill going about. They formed a posse that 271 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.920 tracked the Galeru to its lair, a cave littered with animal skeletons and even 272 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.599 some human remains. As they waited to ambush the monster, they heard it 273 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.960 emerge from a nearby lake, causing the earth to tremble as it made its 274 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.960 way toward him. The garrow perished after several volleys from the posse Before its 275 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.160 death, it ripped up several trees and tore off the leg of one of 276 00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:48.559 the posse members. Miller claimed to have sent the body to the Smithsonian Institution, 277 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:55.920 but it never arrived at the Washington, DC Museum, now the Ozark 278 00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:02.960 Research of folklore collector Vance Rudolph Field additional details about the gowrow which he believed 279 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.799 had been reported as early as the eighteen eighties. Randolph's sources suggested that the 280 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:12.440 Gowerrowl was a species of creature rather than an individual monstrosity. The young hatch 281 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:18.039 from soft shelled eggs as large as beer kegs, and the mother carried newly 282 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.039 hatched infants in a pouch. Randolph related a story about an encounter with a 283 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:29.400 Gowerrawl by a spelunker exploring Devil's Hole in Boone County. Wait Wire, Boone 284 00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:37.559 County. Holy. So this is just a best friend of the Woodnot it 285 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.759 looks like it, especially if the uh I won't know how they have come 286 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:47.119 there having been a wood snot myth crypted yet you answer me that fifth man. 287 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.279 I am not a scienceman. You're just too busy hating on rich folk. 288 00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.400 Is what's your problem here? If you're so rich, why don't you 289 00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.200 buy me budweither felec. I don't buy beer for others. A terrible policy 290 00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:06.200 near the village of Self was the entrance to the Devil's Whole Cave on the 291 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:10.079 estate of one E. J. Rhodes. One day, after hearing a 292 00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:17.720 commotion emanating from the Devil's Whole underground recesses, Okay, technician Rhodes decided to 293 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:26.759 investigate by lowering himself into its shaft and descending and descending via rope to allege 294 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.960 two hundred feet below the opening. Below this point, the shaft was too 295 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:38.000 narrow to permit further descent, so Rhodes failed to satisfy his curiosity, which 296 00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.680 was probably just as well. When some men lowered a flat iron down to 297 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:47.000 the same level that Roads had reached, a loud, angry, hissing noise 298 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:51.599 was plainly heard. They heard it again when they repeated the procedure, this 299 00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.960 time using a large stone attached to the rope. Moreover, when they drew 300 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.000 the rope back up, they discovered that the stone was gone. Did they 301 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.359 have to do? Do you think that no one noticed until they actually got 302 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.519 the rope out of the hole, and they're like, do you think they 303 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.680 may have suspected. Prior to that moment the section of the rope holding it 304 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.519 had been completely bitten through. Randolph also heard tell of the oh oh, 305 00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.480 no, no, no, I'm gonna need a little Jerry Clower for this 306 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.920 one. Oh. Once I see the phrase heard, tell that's true, 307 00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:29.680 that's true, I will go for Clower power, the classic Cloud Power Mississippi 308 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.839 comedian Jerry Cloud. Randolph also heard tell of the man who claimed to capturing 309 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:40.720 a gal rawl by inducing the creature to eat so many dried apples move it's 310 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.160 swelled to a size of prevented its escaping into its burrow. And the gal 311 00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.839 Raul's captor was exhibiting his catch to anybody who'd pay a quarter for it. 312 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.359 Me and Marcel lad Better went up there to see this gal rawl one time. 313 00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:57.720 Two bits they charge and not happen. They plunked it down. And 314 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:02.880 once this man had a fishing augins, he'd stagger from behind the curtain with 315 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.160 his clothes and rags, announcing the garral. How to escape the garral? 316 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:15.359 How to escape? Who run into the wood fla fla from the wrath of 317 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:21.960 the garral, Run for your life. Only the fluke can savor you ga 318 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.200 who Me and Marsel we tore on out of there, and we never looked 319 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:30.799 back, and we never got our quarters back. I found tholeth in the 320 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.319 braith of the wood new Jerry Clower. It's funny. Yeah, whoa, 321 00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:41.839 I like the Cherry Clow. Ooh he does this like coo like who? 322 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.960 Now most likely this is uh, Dave, just newspaper hype, oh of 323 00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:56.759 a toll tale. So this does this live in the same ballpark as the 324 00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:04.200 hoodag? Then I believe so? Oh dagh? So that is the gal 325 00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:17.240 raw three three elegant fanging, crusted fur spitting hell beast ladies. That's right, 326 00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:25.039 mmmmm. And now we're gonna trot out before you the ugliest puns you've 327 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:30.279 evils. Oh, it's the hideous other side to this beautifully polished coin. 328 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:40.480 Are really going clour crazy? You go, first of all, well, 329 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.119 sometimes you go out drinking at night. Huh, and you're on the island 330 00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.200 of Java. Yeah, this happens sometimes and you have to stumble home from 331 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.480 the pub. M You just want to be careful you don't try and go 332 00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:56.240 down an alley where you could get mugged by one of Java's infamous hooligans. 333 00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:03.839 Nice one for you. Um Now, people in Cornwall are familiar with the 334 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.240 al Man and you know, I guess he's got kind of a fame thing 335 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.279 going himself, but it's part of a larger family. The rest of his 336 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.559 family. He's got a lot of siblings, mostly male. They formed a 337 00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:22.720 band and it was pretty pretty popular in Cornwall, very popular in the United 338 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.920 States, so much so that people didn't even know of his Uh that's British 339 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:33.359 origins.

They wrote recorded the song 340 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:41.160 Midnight Flighter, not Don't let him Catchman, No, don't let him catch 341 00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:52.279 the Midnight flood Lord. I was born at out Man, living in the 342 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:57.279 trees and scaring girls are best at cad. We're great. That's a little 343 00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:02.480 that's just a little little taste of puns for you. Also got also got 344 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.240 something on the other side of the ballot slip here looks like a little slice 345 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:18.519 of listener because we have so much of it that we're going to shove it 346 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:23.480 into every crevice and crack in corner and crewton. I got one here from 347 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:32.440 the panthery Panther, Yeah, panthery Panther, writes Hi the panthery of panthers 348 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:37.519 here.

Yeah, love the chillness, 350 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:48.240 God, love the chillness and hilarity with which you approach the weirdness. Thank 351 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.039 you. I'm hooked in catching up on episodes fast. Anyhow, I have 352 00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.559 something that may be worth at least a segment on the show. And then 353 00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:00.279 he's got a link here to something we've been talking about lately. We touched 354 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.960 on it briefly in our last episode Polybius. Oh the Mist, the Portland 355 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:11.559 mystery video game slash. Yeah, we almost included it with Cicada, but 356 00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:15.200 then it kind of was just enough. We touched on it. Yeah, 357 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.880 So thank you so much for that panthere panther. Oh and also you know 358 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:26.799 what also panther likes? Oh? How about a gaunt medieval executioner who specializes 359 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:33.880 in drawing and quartering. The dismemberman, Oh, bye bye bye, the 360 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:38.359 btentacled specter who will feed you for a price, the vendor man. Ye. 361 00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:41.640 And finally, when I was a kid, I had we had a 362 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.160 garden in which we grew a lot of gourds. One year, there was 363 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.880 a plant that turned purple and grew to a monstrous size. When we went 364 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.359 to picket, we noticed it had sprouted hairs and two large membranous leaves on 365 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:59.359 opposite sides of the plant. We called it the bats squash. Peace, 366 00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:06.079 Love and whisk Pacthory Panther, Thanks panthery p Thanks double p. Dave. 367 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:08.599 We've heard from Maddie. Oh Maddie, She says, Hi David, David, 368 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:15.759 Hi, Hi agen long time, first time she has made the rounds 369 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:17.640 with us in candy chat and iTunes and all that good stuff. So we 370 00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:22.559 thank you for that. Yes, I was wondering why didn't we bring up 371 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:25.920 the Greek Fire on the Legendary Weapons episode. You know what, It is 372 00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:30.400 so crazy that you would say that, because just today I literally almost text 373 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.759 you do that that we never touched on Greek Fire, and I was just 374 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:40.119 thinking about that today. So I enjoy the synchronicity of that little moment. 375 00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.559 I think we should get around to do in a Greek Fire episode. Well 376 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:47.039 yeah, I don't know if maybe not a whole episode, but you know 377 00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.119 not, it's a good point, though, I'll say I'll say this. 378 00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:55.559 I wouldn't put Greek fire into legendary weapons because we know Greek fire existed, 379 00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.359 and I would put it into like something like along the lines of a lost 380 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:05.319 technology. Yeah, well, you know it, if it got in that 381 00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.759 episode, it would have been with like the long bow. Yeah that's true. 382 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:13.640 But yeah, I was just today thinking about where to fit Greek fire 383 00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:15.839 and because it is something that's cool that we should go over. Yeah, 384 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:21.319 it's uh, you know, it was a game changer for naval warfare at 385 00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.839 the time. Yeah, just pots of oil that burned, burned and burned 386 00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:29.440 and burned, burned out water. Water. Wouldn't put it out water to 387 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:34.200 make it burn Hotter says I hate to say this, Lap but I hate 388 00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.079 to say this, but I have two really horrendous trashy puns. Bring it. 389 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:42.079 Oh, I love trash puns. Crampas gets along well enough on enslaving 390 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.079 naughty children and polishing his goat horns, But what people don't know is that 391 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:51.119 he secretly has a huge sweet tooth. His favorite candy in particular is of 392 00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:59.039 a traditional Irish variety. What's that It's called glucose barley narn. Well, 393 00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.640 most people have already written off the cinematic abomination that is the Pirates of the 394 00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:06.920 Caribbean series. Most people don't know that the island that Jack and Elizabeth gets 395 00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:09.719 stranded on and the first movie is based on a real island further up north 396 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.760 in the Atlantic. It was said to be rampant with mutant raccoon and deer, 397 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.920 and was rumored to house a small army's worth of dennis and liquor. 398 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:23.360 It was called rum Island. I like that that's a good place for a 399 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:28.599 pirate to end up. True enough, says thanks again for the podcast. 400 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.679 Thank you, Maddie. Oh and there's the PostScript. I know I don't 401 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:36.400 have a distinctive enough name or nickname or seniority to warrant a special pit, 402 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.559 but if you're feeling particularly generous, could you do a scene with Godzilla and 403 00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:46.639 the ladies at candy Chat? How would that go? Yeah? And I 404 00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:52.119 told him tab I said, listen, I understand what thirty percent off means, 405 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.559 but I feel like if you could just turn this, thirty percent could 406 00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:00.119 turn thirty percent could turn into fifty percent just the touch of a button. 407 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:06.000 It what Danny will you play? Turn that dark television? Dan I'm trying 408 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.519 to talk to tab on the telephone. I'm sorry. I wasn't hearing anything 409 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:13.280 you were saying because there was something screaming in my ear. I'm so sorry, 410 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.119 Tab. Danny just loves those gurd zillas. What gird zillas? I 411 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:24.880 can't there? You go, mad, madame Maddie. See where.

I've 421 00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:05.480 been interested in paranormal stuff for a long time, as well as legends and 422 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:07.639 other various topics. When I was first introduced to your show, I was 423 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:15.400 like, what the seriously, these guys are annoying? Guilty as charged, 424 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.320 However, I am.

Wesom writes, 459 00:38:55.360 --> 00:39:00.320 Actually he's reloading a punt into the old pun gun. We clearly missed at 460 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.400 some point or other in our ignorance. It's rumored that long ago, when 461 00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:07.440 Genghis Khan was sweeping across Asia, he stopped for a while in the Siberian 462 00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:10.760 Valley. After a battle where many of his men died. Genghis had his 463 00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:15.320 men erect a giant statue of himself that would cast a long shadow across the 464 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:19.440 encampment. Most of the time, they stayed awhile until they could reinforce their 465 00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:23.400 numbers and move on. Surprisingly, one of the most prestigious jobs was that 466 00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:28.559 of a cook, feeding so many men required them to use a gigantic Japanese 467 00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:31.480 style cooking pan. When they finally moved on, they left the pans there, 468 00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:36.400 but many held on to their fond memories of what they wound up of 469 00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:39.440 what they wound up referring to as walking in the in the shadow of the 470 00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:45.960 Valley of Death. Wow, he told up a word picture that was artistry, 471 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:51.480 and that was and he's got one little little after dinner mint here for 472 00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:53.199 you. Yeah, there's a rumor that a lot of heart attacks, blood 473 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:58.440 clots, and the like are actually caused by mischievous proteins in your blood called 474 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.519 emo goblins.
