00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:13.359
M hm, he was cold.
Cold. That was the nam he was

2
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:25.719
cold. What's going on up there? Could be the most important event in

3
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:41.560
history? Now I desturb worlds,
I said. I hope this is close

4
00:00:41.600 --> 00:01:03.879
to him ever again. Good hello, and welcome to the Tales from the

5
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:07.560
Dark podcast. I'm your host,
Bob. You're with my co host Brittany.

6
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.120
Hey, guys, what's up Brittany. How's it going? It's going

7
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.200
good? How are you? It's
going well. I'm excited to get back

8
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.280
into the Gregory eighty eight saga here. Yes, but before we do,

9
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:26.680
I want to throughout another weird acknowledgement
of how deep the hat Man episode is

10
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.799
ingraining in everyone's brain, Yeah,
and affecting everyone. Okay, what happened?

11
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.959
So? I had another listener of
the show who's been a listener for

12
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.480
a while reach out and he's like, hey, I have my own hat

13
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.319
Man encounter. I have a Jeremy
Harper sent me a message. I have

14
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.200
an unread message and Facebook I to
get back to him about We got another

15
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.000
email about a hat Man story,
and it just seems like hat Mania is

16
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:56.000
Oh that's a good T shirt idea
at Man, it just seems like it's

17
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:01.000
it's kind of it's odd that everyone
seems to have a hat Man's story except

18
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.760
us. Except us. I mean, I have to keep it that way.

19
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.280
We've had sleep paralysis, but that's
a different conversation altogether. And I

20
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.000
know I keep bringing this up,
but it's like every single time I do

21
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.879
an episode story, I get another
email, another texts. I'm like,

22
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.000
hey, I fucking saw the hat
Man. He Fedora tipped me in here

23
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.479
three six nottoscope. You know why
why ladder Stall. It was a big

24
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.360
deal. You beat my my high
score in my favorite arcade game. Oh

25
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.240
I have a personal vendetta against him. Yeah, So keep sitting in your

26
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.439
guys as stories. I'm it's one
of those things where is it. Is

27
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.919
it synchronicity. Is this something that
we am I being led towards hat Mania?

28
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:45.840
Or is it because there's been so
many, you know, public and

29
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.400
public stories in the media right now, is it just becoming like a TOPA

30
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:55.000
like phenomenon. And that's the question. And speaking of Topa's, if you're

31
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.599
a member of the Patreon get ready
this week, I am putting together a

32
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.319
hell of an episode. It's one
of those where I don't like to hype

33
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.439
up episodes too much. This is
gonna be one that you're like, all

34
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.639
right now, now he's fucking making
this up. This is not this is

35
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.319
not a real thing that's happening until
you look it up. Yeah. So

36
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.159
anyway back to Gregory eighty eight,
so I have to you know, this

37
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.439
never happens, but it happened.
I did make a mistake in episode one.

38
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.960
Okay, So there are two videos. There's one where at the edge

39
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.240
of his property he sees a shadow
type of figure, and I thought that

40
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:35.560
was the video of the woman he
was referencing an actuality hidden underneath a response

41
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:40.280
to someone else is the video of
the woman he keeps referencing. So I

42
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.000
missed this entirely. I showed it
to you. Do you remember the video

43
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:49.439
I'm talking about? Oh yeah,
can you explain to everyone what this video

44
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.560
was. So it's a woman that
almost has like a slightly elongated face,

45
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:59.360
like her her chin is kind of
bulging out, like her mouth is bulging

46
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.879
out from her face a little too
much. Yeah, And the skin over

47
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:08.120
her eyes she has no eyes,
and it's like the directly coming where her

48
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.520
eyebrows would come across. It's like
a lump of skin but it's attached and

49
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.519
it is the creepiest. She has
like a silicone looking face and it's creepy.

50
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.680
I hate it. But in the
studio that he is referring to,

51
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.000
it was in the dark. This
she was staying in like a beacon of

52
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.399
light. Again, she has no
eyes, so she can't see. Yeah,

53
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.279
but then all of a sudden,
she jerks her head towards the person

54
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.800
film and camera. I'm assuming Gregory
yep, filming her and it was terrifying.

55
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.639
He went off running. Yeah,
and that would explain the notebook that

56
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.800
was found that said they took my
eyes over and over and overcame again.

57
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.519
Gregory is believing that this is the
woman. Yeah, yeah, this is

58
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.680
her stuff or her jacket, her
notebook. And at the end of the

59
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.160
last episode we found out what the
letters meant that were found inside the house.

60
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.519
His house was a church at one
point chapel. Yeah. So if

61
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.240
you guys are new, I highly
recommend watching episode one. But the TLDR,

62
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:11.480
this young man named Gregory inherited a
house from his grandfather. His mom

63
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.680
and his grandfather had a falling out
of some sort. He doesn't really know

64
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.240
much about him. Yeah, him
or the or the property he inherited,

65
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.279
and people in townteracting weird. There's
odd things happening around his house, and

66
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:29.920
that's much. Yeah, and that's
about the biggest summary that I could come

67
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.560
up with without actually diving too deep. In episode one, I do want

68
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.920
to do something I wish we had
done with the sun Vanish. I have

69
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:40.279
a couple of fan theories of what
they think is going on. Okay,

70
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.879
so we have one listener theory.
I hate the term fan theory, but

71
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.360
that's the only thing that popped in
my head. I'm sorry, but one

72
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.279
listener got a hold of me and
said, Hey, it's killing me not

73
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.160
to fucking read ahead because you guys
put this out on a fucking Friday.

74
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.639
Oh yeah, he had two days
to sit on it. Yeah. Yeah,

75
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.399
Well I'm pretty sure this person's patrons, so they got at the night

76
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.480
before, so they got an early
release, so they had an extra day

77
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:09.040
to have to sit on this.
But they think that this is more of

78
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.279
like he's looking into things that aren't
there and he's going crazy because he's never

79
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:18.680
had Based off his previous tweets,
he's kind of like a regular guy and

80
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.800
hasn't had responsibility. He was pulled
out of college, thrust into a real

81
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.680
world situation where he has this property. He doesn't know how to sell a

82
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.360
house. He's drinking constantly, he's
you know, he references drinking and his

83
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.959
tweets before the Grandfather House thing.
Now he has an entire wine seller.

84
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:42.920
So they think it's like an alcoholic
thing where he is manifesting is happening.

85
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.800
Yeah, and it's in an actuality. He's just in like an empty,

86
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.959
fucking vacant house. Okay, so
that would actually hold a lot of water

87
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.519
without the video. Well, again, we can't fault anybody who, especially

88
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.800
people who didn't read ahead, for
not finding that video because again it was

89
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:03.800
embedded comments. But with that video
now in our realm and our discussion of

90
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:10.759
this story, I would say that
wouldn't really be possible unless you know,

91
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.439
he photoshopped her, But again that's
not something he's even talked about doing.

92
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.560
Yeah. And then the other theory
was this is a UFO alien embedded city

93
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.519
scared. Oh no, that girl
looked like a fucking alien, so I

94
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.959
could see it. They think it's
like a sacrificial UFO situation. And that's

95
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.560
that's the only other theory that I've
got that there was a few others like

96
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.600
this is fucking creepy, but those
are the two standout theories. So these

97
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:42.160
are like aliens basically that have interwoven
themselves into a nearby community and it's impacting

98
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:47.000
and infecting everyone up to the lake. Yeah, okay, which that would

99
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.279
actually make sense because there are stories
of like nearly human like how we have

100
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.160
innate fear of things that look human. Yeah, the Uncanny Valley. Yeah

101
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.079
yeah, yeah, so interesting.
Interesting. Do you have any theories yet?

102
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.759
I so I do, but I
do partially remember the ending, so

103
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.079
I can't talk about my theory,
all right, Yes, well, let's

104
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.279
just hop into where we are.
So again, at this point, we

105
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.480
have established the house used to be
a church. We don't know any backstory

106
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.360
on the house that he inherited.
The people in town are weird. There

107
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.759
were some twins at the hardware store
that were rude to him, making fun

108
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:30.279
of him. Yeah, so this
day starts us as twelve thirteen, twenty

109
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.000
eighteen. She was here, The
woman was in my house. Oh god,

110
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.159
no, sorry, I'm getting ahead
of myself. I can barely type.

111
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.639
Sorry, I'll try to explain.
All right, So I was in

112
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.120
the woods out back yesterday when it
started pouring. It happened really suddenly,

113
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.120
and even though I wasn't far from
the house, I got soaked. Anyway,

114
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.720
it rained most of the evening.
I left my clothes by the fireplace

115
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.639
to dry and ended up going to
bed early. Or I guess it was

116
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.240
today. Sorry, I'm still not
really awake yet. Anyway, I had

117
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.960
this awful dream tonight. Sorry if
I'm rambling a bit, I'm still trying

118
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.559
to collect my thoughts. Sorry,
my hands are shaking. I can like

119
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:18.480
feel the emotion and like he's yeah, he's consistently apologizing. You know,

120
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.720
he clearly feels bad for not being
able to explain, because I mean,

121
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.759
that's a hell of a way to
open up a thread, like she was

122
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.320
in my house. Yeah wait,
let me start over. Anyway, So

123
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.039
in the dream, I was on
the deck outside with a bunch of friends

124
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.559
from back home. We were all
sitting in a circle. My friend Eric

125
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.600
was there talking about how creepy the
woods were. He was saying how the

126
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.960
trees were just big black silhouettes and
anything could be out there watching and you'd

127
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.080
never know it. He was sort
of freaking me out, but I was

128
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.039
trying not to show it. I'm
all, I know what you're doing.

129
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.879
It's not gonna work. You're not
gonna scare me. And Eric sort of

130
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.080
narrowed his eyes and says, I
bet I can scare you. Something about

131
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.000
the way he said it made me
uneasy, and I was like, all

132
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.799
right, very funny. You can
stop now that. Eric wasn't smiling anymore,

133
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.879
he was just staring back at me. The whole mood seemed to shift

134
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.320
at that point. No being the
circle was talking anymore, and suddenly it

135
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.559
got really quiet, no sound except
the wind and the lake down below.

136
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.320
I have to put a pen in
this for a second, because I just

137
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.039
remembered a part of my dream from
last night. And I told you briefly

138
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.159
about the dream with a boat.
I don't really remember. Okay, So

139
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.159
I had two really bad nightmares last
night. I'm only gonna get into one

140
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.600
of them here. And it's because
it's so weird. It's it's it has

141
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.600
a parallel with this where I was
talking to some people at some point on

142
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:50.120
like it was kind of like the
like the gondolas of Italy where there's like

143
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.039
restaurants on the water. It was. It wasn't in Italy or anything.

144
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.879
But there I was. We were
like at a restaurant bar thing kind of

145
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.679
like Bourbon Street, but if Bourbon
Street was on the river, which would

146
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:05.720
be a fun horrible but um,
something had happened and I had said,

147
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.919
yeah, I'm a pretty strong swimmer, and actuality, I'm not a strong

148
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.600
swimmer. I don't really know how
to swim. I can I can waddle

149
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.159
pretty good through the water. Yet
good. Yeah you say that, but

150
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.159
I've seen you swim, so anyway, I'm telling me, well, yeah

151
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.679
I can. I'm a pretty strong
swimmer. And what was weird is the

152
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.039
person in my dream was like,
how how good of a swimmer? And

153
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.559
I said, oh, I'm pretty
good. It's like I want to find

154
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.600
out how good of a swimmer.
Then something happens and I'm fucking in the

155
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.600
water and there's this giant barge coming
at me. And this barge is trying

156
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.559
to like go up to this like
small little man made doc like large,

157
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.039
like large enough that you could fish
off of, but not large enough for

158
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.600
a boat to dock on. Yeah, and I get swept under like by

159
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.200
the turbine. Oh my god.
Yeah, and then something puts a life

160
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.639
vest on me and pulls me up, like, and the guy said,

161
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.320
I thought you said you are a
strong swimmer. You know, have we

162
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.240
not put the life that's on?
You were going to fucking die? And

163
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.759
then what was what's creepy? The
whole one I'm telling the story is I'm

164
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.720
like talking to this group of people. I don't remember what any of their

165
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.480
faces look like or anything. And
the one guy looked at me and said,

166
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.519
are you scared yet? And I
said no, I you know,

167
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.320
I'm out of the water. Well
I'm not scared, and he goes,

168
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.919
oh, you're gonna be. And
then I remember waking up. Oh oh

169
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:31.240
no, no, thank you.
Yeah. All that reminds me is the

170
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:33.399
uh the waiting room? Have you
have you? I think it was a

171
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.480
Reddit post. This guy was in
a waiting room, like a dentist office

172
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.559
waiting room, and there was a
fish tank with this really weird looking fish

173
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:48.399
swimming back and forth. It's not
finding Nemo, I promise, walk in.

174
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.600
No, and he's looking at this
fish and he's like Then the guy

175
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.919
in the dream realizes like, I
don't know what I'm waiting for, Like

176
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.120
I don't know why I'm in this
waiting room. This doesn't fucking make any

177
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.879
sense, and then he starts to
question more and more things like why are

178
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.960
the walls purple? Like? Who
paints the walls of an office purple?

179
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.519
Why is his certificates are upside down? Like all these weird things are on

180
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.000
the walls, And it didn't quite
make sense. Yeah, and then he

181
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.039
realizes, Oh, I'm asleep,
and then the fish looks at him says,

182
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.360
hey, you better wake up before
you forget how to and up in

183
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:24.080
a fucking panic attack. Oh god, No, think this is going to

184
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.759
go into a whole like Strange Streams
episodes. We need to get back on

185
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.240
track. But I wanted to throw
that out there because I'm hearing from Austin

186
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.519
and a lot of people right now
are having fucking bizarre dreams, way off

187
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.879
the wall dreams right now, And
I'm wondering if anyone else on the tails

188
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.799
from the dark community is also having
bizarre dreams? Are you having strange dreams?

189
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.000
Don't don't bring that epool back on. No, I can't really remember

190
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.159
the dreams I've been having recently.
But I also I know there's exercises for

191
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.559
it, but I don't. I
can't really remember most of the time.

192
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.679
Maybe and my dreams so maybe maybe
that's a blessing with all this all this

193
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.039
bad juju going around with these dreams, it's hit or miss from me.

194
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.440
If it's something that's like really off
the fucking wall, you'll remember, I

195
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.440
remember. But apart from that,
I don't think I remember very mind of

196
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.960
my dreams, at least lately.
Yeah, I don't know, all right,

197
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.440
So back to back to Gregory.
Any trace of joking has disappeared from

198
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.000
Eric's face. After a long minute, he slowly cocked his head to the

199
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.000
side and says, is there someone
here with us right now who shouldn't be?

200
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.399
Is this a fucking ghost hunt?
Yeah? Seriously. All of a

201
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.240
sudden, I was too scared to
break Eric's gays, afraid I'd see something

202
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.679
I didn't want to. For a
long time, we just stared at each

203
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.720
other. Nobody said anything. Then
very softly, Eric said, is there

204
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:48.000
somebody watching you sleep? Right now? Greg I would have lost it.

205
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:54.080
I beat the fuck out a guy. That's when I bolted awake. It

206
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.799
was the middle of the night.
I was alone in my room, but

207
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.000
I had this weird feeling that someone
had just been there in the room with

208
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.720
me. I laid there in bed
for a minute, too terrified to move,

209
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.360
too scared to breathe even and then
I heard something downstairs. At least

210
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.919
I thought I did. This house
is always making sounds, so I couldn't

211
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.720
be sure. I hesitated for a
second, then crept out of my bed

212
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.960
and went down the hall, trying
to be as quiet as possible. From

213
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.639
the second floor landing, I could
see the living room in part of the

214
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.440
kitchen. Everything seemed normal. I
could hear the wind blowing loudly outside,

215
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.399
so I figured maybe I hadn't heard
anything after all. I tried to calm

216
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.000
myself down. I was wide awake
at that point and too shaken to go

217
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.559
back to bed, so I went
downstairs to get a snack or some coffee

218
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.879
or something. I walked into my
kitchen, then stopped dead in my tracks.

219
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.240
What's this picture of Brittany? I
can't really see. It's a door

220
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:56.399
opened to the outside. Oh and
it's fucking kitchen. Oh No, What

221
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.960
would you do in the situation?
Are you shutting the door? You're leaving

222
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.120
it open? I don't know,
I because it's hard to say, because

223
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.399
that's your way of escape, and
it takes time to open the door back

224
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.759
up. If you have to run
back out, and it's also your way

225
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.840
if you're chasing somebody out, that
gives them an exit, because if you

226
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:18.039
trap someone in there with you,
it can turn from yeah, them trying

227
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.159
to escape to them trying to attack
you very quickly. I often wonder that

228
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.960
in horror movies when I see someone
like walking they find a door open and

229
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.120
they shut it and locked the dead
bolt and stuff. I'm like, if

230
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.480
you have to chase somebody out and
they suddenly realize they can no longer get

231
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.120
out of the way they came in, they're turning around fighting. Yeah,

232
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.559
especially if they're not familiar with the
home they broke into, it could turn

233
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:42.840
into a robbery to a fucking murder
real quick. Yeah, that's a very

234
00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:47.240
good point. I've never thought about
that. Yeah. So there's a door

235
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.759
in the kitchen that leads outside.
It was wide open. I know I

236
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.519
locked it. I lock all the
doors every night, and even if I

237
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.519
forgot to lock it, I know
I wouldn't leave the door wide open like

238
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:02.679
this. The whole kitchen floor was
wet with rain. I'm calling a locksmith

239
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:06.720
first thing in the morning to come
change the locks. Shit. I want

240
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:08.640
to leave, but I don't even
know where I go. I'm all alone

241
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.480
out here, try to find a
motel. And I just realized my wet

242
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:17.720
clothes are gone. She fucking stole
my clothes. I'm not spending the night

243
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.640
here. What. Yeah, so
we remember he came back in from the

244
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:25.599
rain, took his clothes off,
and then left them. Yeah. So

245
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.000
then someone said, as she was
able to navigate through the house and she

246
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.319
has no eyes, that means she's
familiar with the house, is layout,

247
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.640
she's been there before and knows it
well enough to walk around without bumping into

248
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.519
things. He says, I didn't
even think of this. I left,

249
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:41.880
but I'm still freaking out a bit. I'm going to try and find a

250
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:48.319
hotel or something. See that.
That's a new level of creepy, and

251
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:55.440
it makes me wonder did he pre
plan this ahead of time that someone would

252
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.079
pick up on that, or it's
like I choose your own adventure book,

253
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.880
yeah, or like it's actually just
like a DND because if the gamemaster can

254
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:08.680
have so many different scenarios in their
head about how if you ask a certain

255
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:12.960
question, you'll get a certain interaction, and three fourths of them don't ever

256
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.000
happen, So I don't know is
he choosing this as he goes, but

257
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:23.640
it's damn good he can think on
his fucking feet if he is. Yeah,

258
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.680
so we have about a five day
gap. Now we're twelve twenty three,

259
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.119
eighteen, two days before Christmas.
I'm sorry I haven't said anything in

260
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.480
a while. I've been staying in
a motel about an hour outside of town.

261
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.839
When I left the house at night, I just kept driving until I

262
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:42.079
felt like I was far enough away
to feel safe. Let me ask you,

263
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:49.599
because this makes me wonder in locations
that we've been to that have a

264
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.319
reputation of highest strangeness, think your
point pleasant, You're Ashland, your summerset

265
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.279
when things are really popping off there. And we've been in all three locations

266
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.599
where things have popped off in one
way, shape or form. Yeah,

267
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.359
do you feel like there's a certain
distance away where it starts to fade?

268
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:10.359
And do you think that's because it's
the time, like enough time has passed

269
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:15.400
or the mileage? The mileage?
Is it a physical separation between point AM

270
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.559
point B that makes you feel better? I think it's mileage. I think,

271
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:23.000
I really do think it's a radius
of distance around it. Because we've

272
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.359
gone. We've been in the ship
and had to take a break or go

273
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.480
do something real quick, like go
to a gas station or something, and

274
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.759
I'll still feel completely unhinged. We
can sit, we can sit the gas

275
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:40.720
station for hours or Walmart or wherever, and I know I still won't wouldn't

276
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.680
feel better. I really do,
truly think it's a radius. See.

277
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.039
I like that you say that because
I remember I remember one night specifically.

278
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.039
We were we were at Point Pleasant
out in the T and T area,

279
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.720
Yeah, and it was just it
was weird that night because it wasn't like

280
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.160
anything happened, but we were hearing
noises. Is this the night of the

281
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:02.640
Hunters? No, maybe there is
a general creepiness. But what I remember

282
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.359
is we were seeing some lights in
the sky and we went to there's a

283
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.960
gas station right up the road,
I don't know, a mile two miles

284
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.000
away. It might have been the
night that the Hunter's run. Oh,

285
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.519
yeah, I know what you're talking
about. Yeah, And we sat there

286
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.400
and just watched the sky for a
good forty five minutes to an hour.

287
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.559
We literally sat in the back of
the car. We had an sub pop

288
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.799
the trunk and bought snacks, sat
in the back of a well lit parking

289
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.839
lot in the back of the gas
station. Yeah, and it never seemed

290
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.440
to really fade. And what that
reminds me of. And this is all

291
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.240
kind of coming full circle because there
was somebody in the Facebook group and I'm

292
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.680
pardon me for forgetting your name,
who's reading the Eighth Tower. So heel

293
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.480
references is this, references it a
little bit and moth bean prophecies, but

294
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.680
he really goes into it and eighth
in the Eighth Tower, where there's these

295
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:52.440
window areas of fear, of just
pure terror. And it's not because it's

296
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.480
not because something happened and you were
afraid. It's all of a sudden,

297
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.519
you walked into this area and you
were fucking terrified. It's like a like

298
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.680
an it's something in the air.
Yeah, like how people say, oh,

299
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:04.960
it must be in the air when
people are angry or upset or in

300
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:11.599
love or whatever. It's like a
general radius of you feeling a certain emotion.

301
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.720
But what's interesting is he goes further
and says that it's not that anything

302
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.839
is happening, and that it's any
one thing making you feel this way.

303
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:23.039
It's just it just happens, and
there is no way around it. There's

304
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.279
no I stood there long enough and
I got used to the feeling it was.

305
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.880
I did not feel better until I
physically left the area and drove three

306
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:34.200
or four miles down the road.
And he discusses this in the in the

307
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:40.119
Tower where he had this happen outside
of Point Pleasant, in between Point Pleasant

308
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.880
and Marietta, Ohio. On the
way on the outset, you're on the

309
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:47.319
outskirts of Point Pleasant. You're heading
towards the not gwards Charleston, but the

310
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.559
other direction. Yeah, he describes
he had it happened, and he was

311
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.400
driving through it in his car,
and he stopped out of his car and

312
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:56.720
did not feel better till he walked
about a mile down the road. Ooh,

313
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.440
And it was one of those things
where he could not figured it out.

314
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:06.079
Balls for doing that, especially by
himself. He was by himself,

315
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.319
middle of the night. Oh my
god, we've been in those areas and

316
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.640
that it ain't no joke. Yeah, And when you get struck with fear

317
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.160
like that, yeah, Well he
walks a mile away and then had to

318
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:21.480
walk a mile back to his car. So I don't know. I guess

319
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.400
for me, i'd had to agree. I think it's a distance thing.

320
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.039
I don't think it's amount of time
that you're away. I think it's it's

321
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:32.039
a certain radius of effect of the
fear or the terror, or the high

322
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.599
strangeness. Okay, So anyway,
I called a locksmith, but they weren't

323
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:38.240
able to come out right away,
and there was no way I was going

324
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.279
to back going back to the house
without new locks. So I've been waiting

325
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:47.559
it out here until I can go
back, basically doing nothing, jumping at

326
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.400
every little sound and feeling crazy.
Okay, let me ask you this.

327
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:55.920
If you think that she knows her
way around your home without vision, do

328
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.720
you think that she would Wouldn't you
think that she would know another way in

329
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.319
your home that's not through the door. Yes, especially with him having an

330
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:07.839
old seller, a wine seller that
he hadn't seen, when other secrets are

331
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.880
there exactly, That's where my brain
would be. It would be more than

332
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.400
a locksmith. It's like I want
to realtor or someone who knows like our

333
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.079
security camera. My question is where's
he getting money from because he's not working

334
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.319
and he's a student. From what
he said. Yeah, Finally, a

335
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.559
couple of days ago, the locksmith
called back and said he'd come out so

336
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.240
I checked out of the motel and
got into my car to drive home.

337
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:32.799
It was a pretty long drive back, and the closer I got to the

338
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.240
woods, the worst I felt.
It's weird that he calls it home now

339
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:41.759
and not a house, even though
he feels uncomfortable and he's scared, he's

340
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.200
now considering it a home. Yeah, well, it's probably like minecraft won't

341
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.119
you sleep in the bed? And
there that's you know, you're that's your

342
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.799
home now. In my head,
I knew I was. I knew going

343
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.559
back was wrong. But I can't
just leave for good. I don't know.

344
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.279
I can't explain it. I can't
leave. I don't expect you want

345
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.319
to understand. I don't even understand. Okay, that's weird fucking timing with

346
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.759
what I just said. Yeah,
anyway, I drove past the town and

347
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.200
reached the woods, where the roads
get worse and harder to drive on.

348
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.160
They get twist easy drive up to
the house and you have to be careful

349
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.400
not to hit deer. I almost
always see a dozen or so deer on

350
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.680
my drive, but today there were
none, not a single deer in sight.

351
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.000
In fact, the wood seemed a
lot quieter than usual. I could

352
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.440
have been imagining it, but something
definitely seemed off. I was almost bizarry

353
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.920
go ahead. I was just gonna
say, that's usually, you know,

354
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.799
when we talk about high strangeness,
it's usually when a predator like creature is

355
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.839
out there. Yeah, whether that
be a bear, a lion, or

356
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:44.759
crypted or whatever we're talking about now. Yeah, I was almost ready to

357
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.039
turn around when something darted across the
road. It was so fast that I

358
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.640
wasn't sure I saw it at all. I panicked and swerved off the road

359
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.480
and into a deep groove by the
roadside. By the time I realized what

360
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.599
had happened, the thing was gone. I have no idea what it was.

361
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.039
It was just a blur, but
it wasn't a deer. It was

362
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:08.680
red and red like blood. Worse, my car was stuck. It's my

363
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.400
mom's old car this week, little
two wheel drive, and I couldn't manage

364
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.359
to get it out of the groove. I sat there for a long time

365
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.839
trying to figure out what to do. He's got no phone service to I

366
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:25.079
guarantee you, Oh God, red
like blood. That is such a specific,

367
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:32.640
such a specific way to describe something. No animals, unless it's like

368
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:37.160
an exotic bird. No animals I
know of would be red like that,

369
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:42.559
maybe fish speaking of blood. Speaking
of blood, I still don't know.

370
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:49.359
I still don't know what that was. So there's there's a certain location that

371
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:55.559
we're looking at for the next documentary. Every time this location gets brought up,

372
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:57.519
typically it's just Austin weird s.
She'll start happening, He'll start a

373
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.519
shadow, people, apparition, go
sex, you name it. It seems

374
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:06.799
to happen to Austin specifically. Well, last night, Austin and I were

375
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.680
discussing this location because we're going to
visit it next month. We're going to

376
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.960
see basically, is this we're gonna
shoot the next documentary because it's a location

377
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.720
that I really enjoyed going to,
but I don't know if it's right for

378
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.079
us. Yeah, Well, every
time, and Austin has a history with

379
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.000
it, like like ten year plus
history with this location. Well, last

380
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:30.839
night we're discussing this place and I
was upstairs playing Overwatch. Britain was downstairs

381
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:36.640
playing Overwatch with me, and I
come downstairs and I'm like, I looked

382
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:38.359
out of my hands and I had
blood, like a good amount of blood

383
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.480
on the front and back of my
hands. Yeah, so I take my

384
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:45.240
shirt off. I had Brittain checked
me all over. I'm not bleeding from

385
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.279
anywhere. She's not bleeding from anywhere. No idea where the fucking blood came

386
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.559
from. And it's not like it
was a drop or two, like it

387
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:53.440
was like I had like it was
like I had an open yeah, and

388
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.000
it was like I had an open
wound and was holding my hand over the

389
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.720
wound to stop it from bleeding.
Nose bleeds, no, nothing, Yeah,

390
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.160
it was. It was very very
weird. Yeah, and literally tonight,

391
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.920
we're gonna have to have Austin back
on here soon and he can kind

392
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.680
of explain what's going on. But
he had a ton of crazy shit happened

393
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.160
to him tonight. I start to
read those. Yeah, I need to

394
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.640
figure out what's going on with him. As soon as we were discussing this

395
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:21.839
location, and it's and it's so
weird because I've never heard of a location

396
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.400
causing phenomenon. Yes, when you
speak a bit like Voldemort, yeah,

397
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.000
it's it's like a cause and effect. And that's exactly what this feels like,

398
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.559
is because we're talking about its reaching
out. Yeah, it's reaching out

399
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.880
and touching us, and it's it's
in a way that the blood was weird.

400
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.039
That's never happened to me before.
No, Okay, So anyway here,

401
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:42.799
I knew it wasn't a good idea
to walk the rest of the way,

402
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.599
but if I didn't, I'd missed
a locksmith, and I'd have to

403
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.160
either spend the night in the house
with old locks or go back to the

404
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:53.960
motel, which I couldn't afford.
Okay, I wasn't too far from the

405
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.920
house, so it made the most
sense to walk the rest of the way

406
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.839
and call a tow truck from home. I needed to meet the locksmith anyway,

407
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.720
so I got out and started walking. Once I was outside, I

408
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:10.880
realized I'd been right about the woods
seeming quieter than usual. I couldn't even

409
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:15.839
hear any birds. It was dead
silent. My footsteps seemed so loud.

410
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.880
Every twig that cracked under my shoe
sounded like a bone breaking. We've been

411
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:26.400
in spots like that before. I
was periodically checking my phone's GPS to make

412
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.799
sure I was heading the right way. I had just re checked my route

413
00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.960
and was about to put my phone
down when I saw something that made my

414
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.440
heart sink. So he has a
photo here, and he says, there

415
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.880
was another one of those artifacts like
the ones I'd seen on my first day

416
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:45.519
here, but it had one of
my gloves tied to it from the rainstorm

417
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:49.319
last week when I left my clothes
by the fire to dry. There was

418
00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:53.240
a pair of gloves with it.
That would freak me the fuck out.

419
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.480
Yeah, it sounds like a binding
ritual or something like that, especially if

420
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.920
he's just now feeling called old and
tied to the place. Yeah. I

421
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.279
knew that woman had taken my clothes
that night, and this just confirmed it.

422
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:08.519
I also knew i'd find the rest
of my clothes before I even saw

423
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.359
them, and sure enough, I
found more of those artifacts not too far

424
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:17.319
from the first. I found my
other glove, my socks, and a

425
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:22.000
bandana, everything from that night except
for a sweatshirt I've been wearing. So

426
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.119
then he has other photos of these
bigger and bigger artifacts that have all this

427
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:29.440
clothing strata about the woods in the
center of them. Though, oh,

428
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.799
God, like it. What would
you think if this were you, I'd

429
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:40.200
burn it. You'd burn your clothes
too, Yeah, fucking clothes. I

430
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:44.880
don't need those clothes, I mean, but what would you think was going

431
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.519
on? Like I think it's a
I would think it's a binding rich wh

432
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.640
I would think it's someone who's trying
to do me harm spiritually or you know,

433
00:29:55.200 --> 00:30:00.799
through magic. I definitely would not
take a risk and think, oh,

434
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.240
they might be doing something nice for
me, So I would cut all

435
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.720
ties with what were they're doing?
See for me? I would think someone

436
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:08.759
was trying to warn me or trying
to scare me away from my own property.

437
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:14.319
That's that's where my brain would go. This is the second episode.

438
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:17.640
I mean, I know this second
episode, but both episodes we've had very

439
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:22.640
different point of views on this.
It's weird. It is weird, okay,

440
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.799
but that too, it does sound
like hazing. But anyway, Yeah,

441
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.000
so I left them alone this time. I didn't want to touch them.

442
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.039
All I wanted to do wanted to
do was get back to the house,

443
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.200
get the locks changed, and called
a tow truck. I started jogging

444
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.519
a bit, wanting nothing more but
to get away from those stick things.

445
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.559
But after a while I started to
think that I should have been home already.

446
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.960
I slowed my pace and took up
my phone, but it wouldn't calibrate

447
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:53.839
this time. It couldn't seem to
locate me in the GPS. Still,

448
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.599
I could hear the lake off to
my left, which meant if I kept

449
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.359
walking alongside it, I should get
to my house. Event So I kept

450
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:06.119
moving and tried not to think about
getting lost. I must have gotten turned

451
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:10.200
around, because I was walking for
what seemed like ages. I found myself

452
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:14.519
in a part of the woods that
seemed unfamiliar. I had no idea where

453
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:18.559
I was, And then suddenly I
saw something off in the distance, something

454
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:25.400
bright white, almost seeming to glow
against the dark trees. So I'm showing

455
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.640
Brittany a photo here, and all
you can really see is a bunch of

456
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:33.119
white dots. Probably it looks like
mushrooms. Yeah, thirty or so feet

457
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.279
away. I couldn't figure out what
it was from a distance. I went

458
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:41.000
closer, trying to be as quiet
as I could. When I actually got

459
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.079
close enough to see what it was, my mouth literally fell open. What

460
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:51.440
are you looking at here, miss
Britney. Giant fucking eggs like awestrich size

461
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:55.279
eggs, the size of a human
fucking head. Yeah, those are fucking

462
00:31:55.480 --> 00:32:00.279
huge. What lays those eggs?
It was eggs, huge eggs, all

463
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:06.640
on a cluster like a nest.
They were enormous It's hard to explain their

464
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.079
size, but you can sort of
see them next to my boot here,

465
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.240
so oh my god, they don't
even like compare to his boot like they're

466
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.480
huge. I felt like I was
dreaming. If you guys want to see

467
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:22.119
the eggs, I'm going to actually
make the thumbnail for this podcast the eggs

468
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.279
because they're fucking huge. Anyway,
I felt like I was dreaming before I

469
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.960
evennew what I was doing. I
touched one. I couldn't help myself.

470
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.480
It was warm. I had a
sug sudden urge to smash it and see

471
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:39.559
what was inside. But then just
as quickly I decided against it. I

472
00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:43.480
get that, I mean, it's
intrusive thoughts one on one, but at

473
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:45.599
the same time I would have fucking
like, there's twelve here, Yeah,

474
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:52.519
I mean for science. But then
I guess you'd have to weigh your odds

475
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:55.759
against those are huge eggs. And
what happens if the mom that laid the

476
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:01.880
eggs come while you're smashing fucks you
up for smashing an egg? Yeah,

477
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:07.559
because you got to imagine the mom
wouldn't be that far away if yes,

478
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.519
yeah, that means they were just
sitting there. I felt sick like I

479
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:14.519
was going to throw up if I
didn't leave right away. I left the

480
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:16.599
clearing and tried to listen for the
lake, then headed in that direction.

481
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.559
I got to the lake shore and
felt a bit better. Since I was

482
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.599
out of the trees, I had
a better view of my surroundings, and

483
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:28.240
I was able to pinpoint my house
a ways down the shore. I never

484
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:30.799
thought i'd be so happy to see
it. The rest of the way back,

485
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:35.279
I felt like I had vertigo.
I couldn't make sense of everything that

486
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:38.359
just happened. I still can't.
I reached the house and somehow felt a

487
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.599
little better once I was inside the
locks, but arrived a little bit later

488
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.480
and changed the locks. I watched
him work in a daze. I also

489
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:50.799
had him installed dead bolts. I
called a tow truck and then got my

490
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.119
car out of the ditch. But
now I'm alone again, and I can't

491
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:57.599
stop thinking about what I saw.
I can't figure any of this out.

492
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:00.720
I don't know what's happening. I
know I should leave, but I just

493
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:05.640
can't. I can't. At least
nobody's getting inside tonight. At least I'm

494
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:13.000
safe inside. He's got a lot
more. He's a lot more optimistic than

495
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.800
I am. Yeah, he has
a lot of trust in that dead bolt.

496
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:22.639
My thing is, I understand the
vertigo, especially when you are kind

497
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:28.800
of thrown into something that you don't
understand, yeah, and can't possibly understand

498
00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:34.280
like that, I completely understand the
panic. I guess it's probably the best

499
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:38.199
thing I would say. But I
don't know. He seems like he's being

500
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:44.239
like like I don't know, in
a day's sort of like an a lullaby,

501
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:49.639
sort of like a trance. Like
he's being controlled. Yes, his

502
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:52.719
outcomes are controlled to a certain extent. Yeah, And that I don't understand

503
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:59.440
at all, because it doesn't it
doesn't really make sense to me. So

504
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:01.239
okay, so let me have on
the twenty ninth. We go a little

505
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:06.679
further ahead here. So it just
starts by saying, I guess the new

506
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:12.159
moon is January fifth, and then
he says I heard something. Someone was

507
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.400
outside. I was in the kitchen
washing a glass, and I heard something

508
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:21.360
outside on the deck, a scratching
sound, and then it stopped. I

509
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.679
thought I imagined it, but then
I heard footsteps, and for some reason

510
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:29.039
I just ran outside without thinking.
I don't know what's wrong with me.

511
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.800
I don't even know if I'm scared
anymore, I just want answers. I

512
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:37.599
can't be sure, but I think
it was her. I saw someone running

513
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:39.280
into the woods. I'm sure it
was her, but I couldn't catch her

514
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:44.559
in time. I thought about chasing
her into the woods, but decided against

515
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:47.039
it. I don't want to get
lost out there at night. I turned

516
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:50.880
around to go back inside, and
that's when I saw what she had been

517
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:54.760
doing on my deck in the first
place. Oh my god, she put

518
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.880
hers Oh my god, she put
his sweater on there. And that's a

519
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:05.639
huge, like effigy huge. So
we have a huge triangle with his sweater

520
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.960
in the center of it. Yeah. I shouldn't still be surprised by these

521
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:13.360
artifacts, but this one was huge, taller than me, and it had

522
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.480
my sweatshirt from the storm tied in
the middle. Honestly, I was just

523
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.760
going to leave it there. I'm
sick of this shit. I was about

524
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.760
to go back inside, but I
noticed something had been written on the wall

525
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:28.639
behind the artifact I had never seen
before. All it said was feared the

526
00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:32.039
new Moon. What the fuck does
that mean? I don't know where the

527
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:36.599
woman got a fucking marker. I
don't like how fucking familiar. She feels

528
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.719
around my house and property. I
hate that I consider this this my house.

529
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:44.159
Now that this feels normal. Now
I'm losing it and I want this

530
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:49.159
to end. Whatever this new moonshoot
shit is. It feels like something's coming.

531
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:52.559
Fuck this, I get it.
I get it, dude. I

532
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:58.000
actually want to talk about that for
a second, because there have been times

533
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:01.800
where we've been balls deep into into
a certain investigation. Yeah. I don't

534
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:07.320
want to give a specific because I'm
sure i'll all missspeak, but usually it's

535
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:12.840
around the three and a half week
to one month mark where nothing surprises you

536
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.559
anymore. A great example this is
the Fatel stuff. By the end,

537
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:21.519
I was uncovering things that like no
YouTuber was talking about Reddit Hattan spoken about,

538
00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:24.360
there was nothing on Google. And
I remember it's when we got into

539
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:29.039
the Canada stuff, the German Canada. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

540
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.199
that's school connection and everyone was like, that's you're fullest shit, and I'm

541
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:34.840
like, let me show you why
I'm not. And then it got to

542
00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:37.519
the point where I'm telling people like
Tyler, I'm telling folks about this like

543
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.760
this is fucking insane, like this
is this goes way deeper and I'm like,

544
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.599
it's nothing, it's fine, it's
fine, everything's fine. I just

545
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:47.039
want to go to the next fucking
thing. This is too much. And

546
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:52.760
there's times where you get that way
as an investigator, where it's so much

547
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.400
off the wall ship one thing after
the next, after the next week,

548
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:58.239
just like I either wanted to go
back to normal or I just want to

549
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.679
be fucking done with this, because
it's it's get to the point where it's

550
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:06.199
ridiculous and it's not fun anymore.
It desensitizes you to have so many things

551
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:10.320
happen in rapid succession, especially in
these investigations. Now, let me ask

552
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:13.760
you, during our time where we
were in Kentucky every other week, it

553
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:17.239
seemed like, did you get that
way with the weird Yes, to a

554
00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:23.519
certain extent. I never lost the
awe. That's one thing that's weird about

555
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:28.559
Kentucky is I never lost the awe
for Kentucky, even going back, like

556
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:32.239
when we just went back this last
few weeks. I don't remember when we

557
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:37.519
went, but I really did think
like after going so many times and going

558
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.559
to do all the crazy stuff we
did, I would eventually feel a different

559
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:45.920
type of way, maybe not necessarily
get bored of it, but not be

560
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:52.039
as awestruck by it, and it
never really happens. But yeah, I'm

561
00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:57.320
I don't know. I know how
you feel because the time he took Austin

562
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:01.079
most recently, even though it was
more than it has been, we're still

563
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:06.159
uncovering new things, like finding the
train tunnel that they went to in Hell,

564
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:10.440
You're and finding these weird locations,
and there's always something new and exciting.

565
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:14.119
So yeah, I think I would
agree with you on that. Yeah,

566
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:15.960
okay, So let me go to
the fourth and so we're one four

567
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:21.760
nineteen. Here it says there's going
to be a storm tomorrow waite, okay,

568
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:24.800
January fourth, Yeah, the new
moon is tomorrow two. I should

569
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:29.440
be fine if I just stay inside. So this is kind of odd to

570
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:34.760
me because it seems like he knows
something that he's not telling us at this

571
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.079
point, Like I should be fine
if I just stay inside? What do

572
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.280
you mean? Yeah, Like,
how do you notice stay inside? How

573
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:44.239
do you know? Like what if
you should go out of town? Why

574
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:45.719
do you know that you should be
inside your house? Like it says fear

575
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.519
the new moon? Like to me, then I'm getting the Yeah, I'm

576
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.719
getting the fun out of the whole
place. I'm going back to the motel.

577
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:57.599
Yeah. So it's been storming all
day. This is one five nineteen

578
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:01.280
and end of the night, thunder
and everything. I stayed inside all day.

579
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:07.880
Nothing has happened yet, maybe nothing
will happen. Still, I'm nervous.

580
00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:10.960
I've been freaked down all day.
Maybe I should shouldn't have stayed.

581
00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:15.840
I don't know what's wrong with me. I should leave tomorrow. I'm not

582
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:19.559
even really sure what I'm saying.
I just need to occupy myself with something.

583
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.480
Writing this makes me feel less alone. It's like I'm talking to someone

584
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:30.000
very like owed to the sun vanished
there. I can't do this anymore.

585
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.280
I'm leaving tomorrow first thing in the
morning. I don't care about selling this

586
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:37.440
house anymore. I just want to
go home. So now he's referring to

587
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:42.039
his previous house as home instead of
this one. So did he break the

588
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:46.480
trance? Didn't spear break the feelings? What happened transition? Yeah, there's

589
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:50.440
definitely a disconnect here. I just
need to make it through the night.

590
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.280
I'll be fine if I stay inside. The locks are knew and nobody can

591
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:58.400
get in. I'm gonna go get
some wine and stay upstairs. Why would

592
00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:02.039
you drink? Why would you drink
if you're scared? Well, she's she's

593
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:08.280
here, she's in the cellar.
Oh my god. Fuck. I practically

594
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:13.199
ran right into her. She didn't
even hear me because of the thunder outside.

595
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:15.639
Her back was to me, standing
dead still in the middle of the

596
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:21.159
night, just staring at the wall. So here's the picture, miss Britney.

597
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:23.840
What are we looking at? She
has no hair, Yeah, she's

598
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:29.639
completely bald, and she's staring at
the cellar wall. I would have I

599
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:34.159
told you, I told you,
I told you that with him not knowing

600
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:37.760
his cellar, that there was definitely
going to be some kind of tunnel or

601
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.119
something to get in. So here's
my ode to my old WWF wrestling fans

602
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.960
back in the day. I'm hitting
this bald bitch with a British bulldog,

603
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:51.639
do you know? Do you know
what that is? A British bulldog is

604
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:54.239
when you run, when someone's facing
away from you, you run and you

605
00:41:54.360 --> 00:42:00.480
fucking take your giant man sized hands
on the back of their skull and slam

606
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:04.159
them face first into the fucking man. That's what I'm doing to this bitch

607
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:10.360
in the cellar. Yeah, I'm
committing murder and my Grandpappy's Oh yeah,

608
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.079
the wine's not the only thing gets
gonna be red in this cellar right time.

609
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:17.440
I'm done. I'm a fucking tell
you right now. I couldn't I

610
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:21.599
couldn't move. I was petrified.
All I could do is stand there like

611
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.639
a fool and stare at the back
of her head. And then she turned

612
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:31.679
around and she spoke to me.
He missed his chance. She's gonna tell

613
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:36.599
him. She's here to talk about
his car's extended warranty. That's what it

614
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:38.599
is. Yep, she said.
She won't hurt me. She said that

615
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:44.079
she's here to explain everything. I'm
sorry, this is all happening so fast.

616
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:46.599
She's sitting in my living room now. I can't believe this is happening.

617
00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:51.119
Sorry, I'm just trying to make
sense of this. She said,

618
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:55.119
she'll tell me everything. I'll be
back, okay, So I'll try to

619
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:59.719
relay everything she said. But there
was so much of it. I can

620
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.840
bear only keep track of it all. I'll start at the beginning. First.

621
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.280
She said, she made the stick
things from my protection. She says

622
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:10.239
it's dangerous out here, and she
was trying to protect me when I asked

623
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:14.519
what she's trying to protect me from. She was quiet for a long time

624
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.159
when she finally replied, I could
barely hear there are things in the water.

625
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:24.679
What's in the water. I didn't
really believe her. Oh wait,

626
00:43:24.880 --> 00:43:27.599
let me let me give me one
thing. I want to make sure I'm

627
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:32.280
actually going for Like this all goes
in one big line here, but what

628
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:38.000
would you it's weird that there was
a gap between they were in the cellar

629
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:44.079
to now they're in the living room
together having a conversation. No, he

630
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:49.119
said that she turned around and spoke
to him and said that she was there

631
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:52.360
to explain everything. And then so
they probably just walked up the stairs and

632
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:58.440
went to the living room instead of
standing in a dusty old cellar. Yeah,

633
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:01.199
I guess. Okay, so real
quick, we just took a quick

634
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:08.039
break because I think that this was
made before like modern Twitter, so it's

635
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:13.079
not exactly in perfect order. So
if I skipped something, I do apologize.

636
00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.880
I'm going to do the best that
we can. Yeah. So,

637
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:19.159
anyway, she said that there's things
in the water. I didn't really believe

638
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:22.159
her, but I didn't have any
rational explanation for the things I've seen so

639
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:27.760
instead I just listened. Here's what
she told me. A long time ago,

640
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.800
something came from the sky and landed
in the lake. It brought something

641
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:36.960
with it, something ancient and strange. The people who lived here began to

642
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:40.239
commune with it. They protected it
from the outside world, devoted their lives

643
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:45.119
to it, and in return,
the thing gave them a gift. The

644
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:51.079
people were blessed with abnormally long,
healthy lives and many children. But it

645
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:55.000
came with a price. I had
so many questions, but didn't know which

646
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.239
ones to ask, so I just
sat there in silence and took it all

647
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:04.119
in. The woman continued. In
the beginning, there was just the one.

648
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.920
It spent most of its time in
the deep in the lake, slumbering,

649
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:12.679
but over time it made more Instinctively. I asked about the eggs less

650
00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:15.800
all in the woods, and the
woman nodded, So, do we have

651
00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:20.920
an alien situation here? It sounds
like it, but it also just sounds

652
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.719
like some prehistoric creature. Yeah,
there are so many of them now,

653
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:29.119
she said. They come from the
water to lay eggs, and the people

654
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:32.239
take care of them, hide them
away until they hatch. But when they

655
00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:37.760
hatch, they need to feed.
What do they eat. At that point,

656
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.719
I was starting to put two and
two together. I thought about all

657
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:45.400
the twins I've seen in town.
She must have sensed my understanding, because

658
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:50.840
she spoke again and said, I
told you there was a price. The

659
00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:53.559
people in this town are blessed with
many children, but they don't get to

660
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:58.519
keep them all. When the eggs
hatch, the people must bring one of

661
00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:00.760
their own to the woods. The
creatures need to eat, she said.

662
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:06.760
She was quiet again, and then
she said, they start with your eyes.

663
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:13.400
Oh my god, what realization did
you just come to. They were

664
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:15.280
trying to eat her. She was
sacrificed. She was one of the fucking

665
00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.719
sacrifices. Oh my god. Oh
I just got the chills because I remember

666
00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:22.679
the first time I read this,
and I was like, oh shit,

667
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:25.480
it's going down, It's going down. I asked her how she knew all

668
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:30.440
this, but I already knew the
answer. I know because it happened to

669
00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:32.760
me. She said. When I
was a girl, my father brought me

670
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.599
into the wood with the others,
offered me up to the newborns. She

671
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:42.000
turned her head towards the window,
like she was gazing into the distance.

672
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:46.360
They took my eyes. I waited
until she was ready to speak again.

673
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:51.280
It was a long time before she
did. She told me how she was

674
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:53.320
led to one of the eggs,
how she watched it break open, and

675
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:58.159
how something came out of it,
and before she knew it, something was

676
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:02.280
on her, burrowing into her.
She wasn't sure what happened next, She'll

677
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:07.880
you, remembering the searing, the
pain, and then suddenly she was free.

678
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.519
She doesn't know if she managed to
push the creature off or if someone

679
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:15.280
helped her, but she got away
and ran into the woods. She ran

680
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:19.760
until she couldn't breathe anymore. She
was too scared to go home, so

681
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:23.360
she stayed in the woods. Eventually
the forest became her home and she's been

682
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:28.800
there ever since. That would be
fun because you can't really return to your

683
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:32.440
parents, no, And it's also
fun because the things that ate you or

684
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:37.000
wanted to eat you could potentially come
back up into the woods and eat you.

685
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.119
And I mean, and they're still
in the fucking woods. Yeah,

686
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:45.119
well they're technically reside in the lake, but still they can come up from

687
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:49.840
the lake. That's that's insane.
Yeah, she was too scared to go

688
00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:51.840
home, so she stayed in the
woods. Kame. We covered that already.

689
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:54.559
I felt completely bewildered. None of
this made any sense to me,

690
00:47:54.760 --> 00:48:00.360
Oh my god, But at the
same time it did somehow. So many

691
00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:02.199
questions I wanted to ask, but
I couldn't sort out my thoughts. What

692
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:10.079
I bet that's why his mother hated
her father. Oh shit, he sacrificed

693
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:15.800
her sister or brother. I couldn't
figure out what to say. Finally,

694
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.639
I asked, why are you telling
me this now, after all this time?

695
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:22.679
The woman didn't say anything at first, when she took a long labor

696
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:28.440
breath. It's the same every year, she said. They come out of

697
00:48:28.440 --> 00:48:30.800
their water in the fall, lay
their eggs. A few of them begin

698
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:35.519
to hatch early. They feed on
the animals in the woods. They need

699
00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:38.519
strength to make it back to the
water, but most of them hatch when

700
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:44.280
it's darkest. She turned to me, even without eyes, I felt like

701
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:47.519
she was staring right at me.
Tonight is the new moon, she whispered.

702
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:52.480
Tonight is the ceremony that would explain
the lack of deer that he saw

703
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:55.559
on the way back, because some
of them hatched early and they were feeding.

704
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:00.679
Yeah, and that way explained the
red thing that ran across yep.

705
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:06.239
My stomach began to sink as realization
set in, realization about what was happening

706
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:09.599
out there in the woods at that
very moment. We have to do something

707
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:13.800
to stop it. I boarded out. I started getting out of my chair,

708
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:15.920
but she shook her head. She
said, there was nothing we can

709
00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:20.320
do. It happens the same way
every year. We can't stop it.

710
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:23.320
But I wasn't listening anymore. I
don't know what came over me, but

711
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:27.880
I jumped up and ran out the
door, ran into the woods. I

712
00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:30.960
don't even know where I was going. At some point the rain had stopped.

713
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:35.519
It was dark and I couldn't see
anything, but I could hear things

714
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:38.360
all around me, things moving through
the trees, and I can see lights

715
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:43.880
in the distance, fire or flashlights. I didn't know. I had no

716
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:47.719
idea where to go or what to
do. More than once something ran by

717
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:51.840
me in the trees. I was
using my phone as a flashlight and try

718
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:53.960
to take pictures of the trees,
trying to see what was out there.

719
00:49:54.159 --> 00:50:00.639
But everything was happening so fast.
So he has pictures here. It's just

720
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:06.239
like blurs going across the screen,
like something went extremely fast, all right,

721
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:08.199
he says, I don't even know
what these are. Then it's this

722
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:15.320
is the clearest shot I could get. They moved so fast. Oh oh,

723
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:17.719
it's like a bloody skull type of
thing that he has a picture of

724
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:23.599
here that just looked like flesh,
like meat. Yeah, muscle. I

725
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:27.760
ran for what seemed like an eternity, ran in circles. I have no

726
00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:31.360
idea where I was. And then
somehow I was back in that same clearing

727
00:50:31.360 --> 00:50:36.000
where the eggs had been. But
they were all gone now, nothing but

728
00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:39.280
bits of shell on the ground.
Naming they successfully hatched, yep, and

729
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:44.519
he has pictures of broken egg shell. It was over. I was too

730
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:46.800
late, and it already happened,
and they cleaned everything up. I was

731
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:52.039
too fucking late. I stood alone
in the clearing. The lights in the

732
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:54.960
distance were disappearing. It was getting
quieter, and just like that, I

733
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:59.960
was running again, running towards the
lake. I don't even know why.

734
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:04.880
I couldn't do anything. Branches scraped
my face as I ran blindly through the

735
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:08.599
trees. I reached the water,
but there was nothing there. I saw

736
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:13.159
some faint ripples out on the black
water, but besides that it was silent.

737
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.480
I was too late. I'm back
at the house now. The woman

738
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:21.480
is gone. It's so quiet.
I don't even know what to say right

739
00:51:21.480 --> 00:51:24.239
now. I'm going to leave in
the morning. I'm sorry. I just

740
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:29.400
don't know what else to say.
I'm sorry. I'm not sure when i'll

741
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:30.960
tweet again. I need to take
a break and get my head together,

742
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:34.880
but I'll be back. I have
to go back. I want what this

743
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:38.280
happened again. So I guess that's
all for now. I'm heading back to

744
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:42.639
school next week, so hopefully that
I'll take my mind off things. I

745
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:46.559
need some sense of normalcy again.
I'm still here, I'm still alive.

746
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:52.639
I left the house after that night. I decided not to sell it.

747
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:54.760
I don't think anyone would buy it
anyway. I locked my doors, I

748
00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:58.719
got into my car, and I
left. I'm home now, trying to

749
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:04.440
process everything. The morning after,
it was so quiet and peaceful in the

750
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:07.320
woods. There was like nothing had
happened at all. I'm still not sure

751
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:10.360
what to believe. It sort of
feels like it happened to someone else,

752
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:15.199
or like I dreamed it. Maybe. Sorry it took me so long to

753
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:19.199
update. I wasn't sure what to
say. I still have so many questions.

754
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:22.960
I might never have all the answers, but something happened out there.

755
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.079
I can't explain it, and I
don't know if I could have done anything

756
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:29.679
to stop it. But whatever it
was, I can't let it happen again.

757
00:52:30.119 --> 00:52:34.119
And that's why I'm not selling my
house. The woman said this happens

758
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:37.000
every year, if she was telling
the truth, and maybe there's something I

759
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.840
can do next time. I have
to try, so I guess that's all

760
00:52:39.880 --> 00:52:43.719
for now. I'm heading back to
school next week, so hopefully that'll take

761
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:46.199
my mind back to normalcy. I'm
not sure when i'll tweet again. I'm

762
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:52.760
sorry, and that's the end.
He hasn't fucking tweeted since January sixteenth,

763
00:52:52.800 --> 00:53:00.880
twenty nineteen. Are you serious talk
about a fucking cliffhanger? Oh my god.

764
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.079
So there was one part that I
know I missed that was somewhere in

765
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:08.639
the threads. So there was one
like precursor to the whole eggs thing where

766
00:53:08.679 --> 00:53:14.400
he goes into town Eats at the
diner and he tries to order eggs Benedict

767
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:17.360
and they bring it to him and
there's no eggs, and he's like,

768
00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:22.199
well, what the fuck? And
they just say that they were out of

769
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:25.239
eggs. Yeah, so we don't
have eggs. We never have eggs.

770
00:53:25.320 --> 00:53:29.440
So he checked the he had a
picture of the menu, and it just

771
00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:31.960
says, Benedict, there's no eggs, Benedict. It's just Benedict to it.

772
00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:37.079
What do you think about that?
This was really well done. And

773
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:40.679
what I love about this is he
never came back. Yeah, Like,

774
00:53:40.800 --> 00:53:44.679
I hate it because I would love
an update like twenty twenty three. We

775
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:49.400
can a fucking update this October.
I would love that. But at the

776
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.159
same time, it feels like it
accomplished exactly what it set out to.

777
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:57.320
He stuck to the narrative. He's
stuck to what he wanted to accomplish and

778
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:00.320
that's it. Yeah. And unlike
the Sun vanished, he didn't play into

779
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:06.440
his audience very much like he would
kind of tweet back and forth on occasion,

780
00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:10.599
but he didn't let anybody from the
audience dictate the narrative. Yeah,

781
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:14.800
and I can definitely I can appreciate
that from a creative stance of like,

782
00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:17.639
Okay, well, I'm making this
for myself and also for you, but

783
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:21.000
it's got to play out the way
that I say it plays out, Like

784
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:22.639
I haven't my decision. Yeah,
I know how this should go in my

785
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:25.559
head, and because I know how
it should go, that's how it's going

786
00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:30.559
to go into discussion. And it
was very well done. Yeah, shorter,

787
00:54:30.920 --> 00:54:34.880
but it's very well done. Well. The photos are great, the

788
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:40.440
videos are are They're terrifying. Yeah, he did an amazing job on the

789
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:45.159
special effects. And what I love
about this is we don't know who's behind

790
00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:47.199
it because unlike the Sun Vanished,
where there was an email, then there

791
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:52.440
was a ship that was purchased and
it went to a production company. His

792
00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:59.800
biodis says, I DK, that's
it. That is so I said,

793
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:01.760
it's still up. You go to
his Twitter account right now one hundred and

794
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:07.280
twenty four thousand followers, and that's
it. And then you go to his

795
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:13.760
people. He's following is he following? So he follows John Mullaney, a

796
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:16.559
woman named Sophia who's a costume illustrator. So I'm guessing that's who did the

797
00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:25.679
Paul Schreer apparently he works on the
League FX, Nick Kroll who works for

798
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:30.880
Netflix, and then two other people
one one guy's a VP of Creative and

799
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:37.000
he's an artist, and then one's
just a fan of the of the thing

800
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:40.320
apparently, and that's it interesting,
Like, so there's not enough here that

801
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:45.039
really it doesn't show you what's going
on. He's not trying to sell this

802
00:55:45.159 --> 00:55:47.800
and making into a bigger deal than
it really is. And it was just

803
00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:52.920
so well done. Because the account
was made in twenty fourteen, there was

804
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:55.079
like a year between when it was
created to his first tweet, which I

805
00:55:55.079 --> 00:56:00.199
can appreciate. And it started out
normal, like just like how Twitter was

806
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:04.440
back in the day, which was
just I'm vlogging every bit of my life.

807
00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.760
And it was fucking well done,
very well done. The horror was

808
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:14.519
there, and my thing was did
you see the ending coming with the like

809
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:19.400
the team work between the woman,
you know what I will say. But

810
00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.920
what I thought I was going to
spoil was the eggs, But I cannot

811
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:27.360
remember what happened past the eggs.
Yeah, and so that the last bit

812
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:30.800
was all like basically a complete surprise
to me because I could not remember what

813
00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:35.559
happened with the eggs. I thought
it was a bird, honestly. Yeah,

814
00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:37.119
for some reason, it sounds like
it was like a reptile. Yeah.

815
00:56:37.159 --> 00:56:39.960
But so this is what I find
interesting is there's a lot of unanswered

816
00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:46.920
questions. So she mentions a ceremony. Is this like a religious type ceremony?

817
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:51.360
Are they viewing this as a god
or is it under you know,

818
00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:54.280
if they can give them abnormally long
lives, healthy children, YadA, YadA,

819
00:56:54.360 --> 00:56:58.440
YadA, then I would have to
be and a god like level.

820
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:01.599
Yeah. What other powers thing possess? Is it controlling anything else in the

821
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:05.880
area? What were the So then
we have our unanswered questions we had to

822
00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:07.519
throw out there. What the funk
were the guys in the boat doing?

823
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:12.960
Yeah? Like were they just keeping
an eye on it? Yeah, making

824
00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:15.320
sure that he wasn't trying to do
anything crazy? Where'd the woman go?

825
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:20.719
How did the woman survive with no
eyes in the forest? Because I understand

826
00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:23.280
like, oh, after fifteen years, twenty years in the woods, you

827
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:29.920
would learn how to survive. The
first year would be the hardest, The

828
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:32.239
first month would be the hardest.
Like, how did she learn to survive?

829
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:37.519
Was there someone else helping her?
Was there his grandpa? Is that

830
00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:40.639
why she was familiar with the Oh
shit, that that could be the twist

831
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:45.000
right there. If you think that
the mom hates the grandpa because they sacrificed

832
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:47.320
a kid, but then to make
up for it when she when he found

833
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:52.280
her in the woods and saw what
they did to them because they never saw

834
00:57:52.320 --> 00:57:55.719
the aftermath. Yeah, they never
saw what happened to the children after they

835
00:57:55.719 --> 00:58:00.840
were dropped off. Yeah, so
maybe he saw are in the woods,

836
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:04.800
felt guilty and spent the rest of
us life trying to take care of her,

837
00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:08.440
trying to reverse what he did.
Gregory, get ahold of us.

838
00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:13.320
We can we can help you out
with the conclusion of part two here.

839
00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:15.840
Yeah, I love this. Let
me know what you guys think of this.

840
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:17.559
Um. This one was shorter,
like Britney said, it's a lot

841
00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:21.400
shorter than The Sun Vanished. But
it was one of those where it was

842
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:23.440
one of my favorites. I think
it's for obvious reasons at this point.

843
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:25.880
Now they're worth the conclusion. So
if you guys have any more like this,

844
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:30.199
you want us to cover reddits on
Twitter, Reddit, Tumbler, wherever,

845
00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:32.360
let me know because I know of
a few more, but I don't

846
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.920
know if any more that are this
well and this well put together. The

847
00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:40.920
Sun Vanished, I think the first
two parts of the Sun vanished. That's

848
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:45.440
as good as it can possibly get, I think for a Twitter arg Yeah,

849
00:58:45.440 --> 00:58:49.079
this one again, it was great
because it seemed like it was a

850
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:52.079
one man wrecking crew who just came
in and did what you need to do

851
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.960
and then left. Yeah. So
with that being said, Miss Brittany,

852
00:58:55.159 --> 00:59:00.400
the only thing I want to remind
everyone we have a really off the wall

853
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:04.159
Patreon episode this week's if you guys
want more extra content add fore all that

854
00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:07.400
kind of stuff patreon dot com slash
Tales from the Dark. This one's gonna

855
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:12.960
be fucking weird. Yeah. And
so with that being said, Miss Pretty,

856
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:15.239
unless there's anything else you'd like to
add, I do not. I

857
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:17.360
think we're gonna have to add the
final episode of the Great Greed Twitter arc

858
00:59:17.639 --> 01:00:05.559
to our never ending but are always
growing Tales from the Dark
