Speaker 1: Welcome listeners, too fast Food Horror. E Jair is away
this week dealing with some unfortunate issues that have come
about over at Saint Anthony's Bell Tower, and he has
left it up to me to tell you about all
the news and happenings that have come about since our
last episode. Let's see where we are. Good news, we
have located Paul Terry. Bad news, we're pretty sure he's
inside Saint Anthony's bell Tower. Good news, we know he's
alive and well since we have acquired a certain piece
of video that he was able to email us. Bad news,
we're not sure how to get him out of Saint
Anthony's Bell Tower. Maybe I should just go ahead and
play the video and let you decide for yourself. Boys
and ghouls, I give you the last known video from
the Catch Me If you Can YouTube show starring Gingerbread
Men ninety nine, also known as Paul Terry.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, my little gingerbread boys and girls to the
Catch Me If you Can show, and as always I'm
your favorite redhead that can. The gingerbread Man ninety nine
is a very special show. This evening, we're on location
at the infamous Saint Anthony's bell Tower here in.
Speaker 3: Well. I can't tell you that now.
Speaker 2: If you're not familiar with the lore of Saint Anthony's
bell Tower from this show or from Fast Food Horror,
I'll give you a brief overview. In nineteen eighty five,
the church was closed by the diocese because of falling attendants.
They deconsecrated the church with all the necessary pomp and
circumstance that comes with it, taking away the hollow nature
of the grounds. About a week later, though, odd things
began to happen. Noises could be heard coming from the
church at odd hours, screaming, yelling, and banging, the sounds
of windows and glass breaking. People reported seeing shadows like
figures against the windows, and when the cops showed up,
no one was there, all the windows intact and no
signs of anyone breaking in. It went on like that
for the whole summer, every single night.
Speaker 3: Then about the end of October there was a fire.
Speaker 2: And get this, it was on Halloween night. Spooky vibes right,
The whole church went up in flames. I found in
old news articles documenting it. Every fire engine in the
city came. It only took them all night and part
of the next morning to put it out, and all
that remained was the seven story bell tower. Here's where
things get interesting and why we're here though. Four years later,
in nineteen eighty nine, a young neighborhood girl, Jenny Stratton,
entered the tower at midnight, why because her friends dared
her to ring the bell. They all watched from the sidewalk.
Police witness statements reported exactly that they her friends watched
her enter the tower through a hole she made by
disliked a loose board at the entrance. About ten minutes
after entering, all of her friends reported hearing the bell ring,
and because they feared the noise of the bell would
bring all the neighbors out, including their parents, they all scattered.
But that was the last time Jenny Stratton was ever seen.
She was never found inside the tower, nor at home,
and after a long extensive schirch by the local authorities,
friends and family, she was never seen again. Well kind of,
Oh it's almost eleven forty five. Let's get to the
door and I'll tell you the rest. If you've been
following along on Fast Food Horror, a neighbor provided EJ
with a copy of a VHS tape The original VHS
tape was found a few yards from the tower sometime
after Jenny went missing.
Speaker 3: This was just a copy, not the original.
Speaker 2: So what was on the tape? You see, Jenny entered
the tower with a VHS camcorder to document her entering
the tower and going up the steps to ring the bell.
I encourage you guys to go back to Fast Food
Horror and listen to the previous episode where EJ played
the actual edited version.
Speaker 3: Of the VHS tape.
Speaker 2: I say edited because he was besieged by lawyers and
city officials not to play it, and they had finally
come to an agreement to play an edited, abridged version
of the tape. But he did play the tape nonetheless,
and since it was the podcast.
Speaker 3: Only the audio.
Speaker 2: The audio documented Jenny's entrance into the tower, who were
walking up the seven stories of the spiral staircase.
Speaker 3: Which took her about ten minutes. Give her take.
Speaker 2: Illuminated only by the flashlight of the camcorder and the
moonlight streaming in from the landing above where the bell was,
it documented her ringing the bell with a large wooden mallet.
She found the top landing of the tower and then
her exiting the top floor. Jenny then documents her descent
from the top landing. Now, remember it only took her
about ten minutes to get to the top, but she
documented her walking down the spiral staircase, never finding the
ground floor on multiple attempts. She walked for more than
an hour in the spiraling loop and lower and lower
and never found the ground floor. And when she returned
to the top floor, it only took ten minutes. Crazy, right,
She would walk down the staircase for forty five minutes
and then walk back up and it only took ten
and never passed anything resembling the ground floor at all.
At one point, she even tossed a quarter from the
top of the staircase and never heard the quarter hit
the bottom. It was like she was trapped in some
kind of parallel universe, a loop of some sort that
seemingly went on lower and lower with no escape. And
now we're here at the door of the tower, just
like Jenny all those years ago. Now the city has
taken securing the tower a lot more seriously since then,
with this very sturdy looking metal door and a scary lock.
But thanks to the magic of YouTube, one can learn
how to pick such things. Let me just get on
my handed dandy little tools I bought off eBay and.
Speaker 3: Vola an open door. We're in. This is crazy.
Speaker 2: It's just as Jenny described on the tape, a spiraling
staircase going all the way up. Absolutely no illumination, no
lights except for the moonlight streaming through the hole in
the landing where resides the bell. It doesn't look like
anyone's been here in years either. No footprints, no cans,
no trash, no nothing, well except if you count the
spider webs and dirt. I guess I just gonna look
around here with my flashlight. We got a concrete floor
on the bottom here, no holes in the floor, nothing
suggesting a basement entrance or anything like that. The staircase
starts right here too, on the ground floor, and goes
all the way to the top seven stories. No physical
reason why she should have kept walking or found herself
walking on an endless spiraling staircase. Well, gingerbread, boys and girls,
let's go. We've got a date with that bell.
Speaker 3: Shoot. I'm out shape.
Speaker 2: I don't think I should be this winded after going
up seven flights.
Speaker 3: But I am.
Speaker 2: We're here, though, and there it is Saint Anthony's bell. Huh,
just like Jenny described. And right over there is the
mount Man, just as Jenny described, almost to the tea.
The windows are really high up, though no real way
to climb out or hop to the windows. Walls are
too smooth. The windows are covered by slats too, so
easy out.
Speaker 3: Oh shoot, it's almost midnight.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's hit that bell and don't forget
to subscribe.
Speaker 3: I should have.
Speaker 2: Won your plugs. Oh damn it, that's loud, all right,
before the cops come.
Speaker 3: I guess we should get out. I'm sure that just
woke up everyone in the neighborhood. Down we go.
Speaker 2: Uh, you guys are seeing this right like, I'm not playing.
Check out that clock at the top corner of the screen.
I've been walking down these steps for more than thirty minutes.
It only took me ten minutes to get up here.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm still walking. I'm looking over the railing
and it's just pitch black. Okay, this is absolutely freaky.
I'm going back up. Okay, I'm back to the top of.
Speaker 2: Oh god, it only took ten minutes. What the hell's
going on? All right, let's try this again. Okay, this
is nuts, I mean absolutely crazy. I left the top
landing at twelve fifty, twelve to fifty, and now it's.
Speaker 3: One thirty four.
Speaker 2: I'm walking down this staircase for almost forty five minutes,
just going around and around and around, and I've never
passed the ground floor. I've had my flashlight on it.
I've never seen anything but just more and more steps
in darkness. I'm going back up.
Speaker 3: Did you guys hear that? Hello? Hello? Is someone there? Oh?
Speaker 2: I think there's someone in here with me? Oh my gosh, Hello,
who's there?
Speaker 3: Who's there? Who's that? What?
Speaker 2: Who? How did you get in here? Who are you
talking to through the door?
Speaker 3: I was recording from my audience. Who are you?
Speaker 2: How did you get in here? Isn't it a bit
late for you to be out?
Speaker 3: Nice? New kids on the black shirt?
Speaker 2: By the way, was that your mom's or a Target
retro print? It's mine? Are you part of the search party?
Are my parents here? I've been walking these steps for hours.
I ring that damn bell so many times I lost count.
What what's in your hand?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: This is a selfhl oh sh you're Jenny Jenny Stratton.
You're not a part of the search party. Are they
not even looking for me? Well, not exactly, not anymore.
Uh boy, I've gotta sit down. This this isn't good.
Oh my god, this isn't good. And you you, you
still look the same. How is this possible? Are you okay?
You don't look so bad? You still look like you
did it in nineteen eighty nine. Yeah, hello, McFly. What
year do you think this is?
Speaker 3: Ugh, it's twenty twenty five. Bye bye bye,
