00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,679
Speaker 1: Last year, Robert Bergman moved into the house next door,

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:08,640
and when he introduced himself to us, my ears rang loudly,

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,640
hold like like alarm bells. You know what feeling like

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,079
fight or flight response? Strange given that I knew nothing

5
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:23,960
about him. Rob was a tall man, stopping out of

6
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:28,320
like six', five wore a glum book on his thin,

7
00:00:28,399 --> 00:00:34,000
lips lips half covered by his shaggy gray, beard but

8
00:00:34,039 --> 00:00:37,600
he thought bleak. Expression he wore a loose fitting, clothes

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,280
green leather, jacket flared black trousers like some time displaced Progged.

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,960
Rocker my new neighbor looked a little, odd no doubt about,

11
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,479
That BUT i still wasn't sure why he unnerved. Me

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,119

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,799
STEVE a couple of months, ago you were passing a

22
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:31,040

midnight awakening that followed my birthday outing and my friends,

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,520
Afterwards with too much alcohol in his blood to drive,

00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,439
Home steve had crashed in my. Room it wasn't a,

make whatever sound we, heard deep bubbling and ear, battering

41
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:40,840
a deafening noise more like that of the broth on

42
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,719
a hob rather than a living. Thing the, startling grown

43
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,919
Yank steve and me out of our bed sent us

44
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,520
scuttling towards my, window knocking liquor fueled. Legs the strongest

45
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,840
bottle of booze in the world didn't cause joint. Hallucinations

46
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,680
As steve, SAID i knew what we'd both. Seen something

47
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:04,560
poking over the wooden fence In Robert bergman's. Garden there

48
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,560
stood something, tall shipped like nothing, earthly wearing the night

49
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:16,479
like a. Shawl, it whatever it may have, been came

50
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,319
from somewhere. ELSE i know, that AND i know it

51
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,039
wasn't a trick of the dim. Moonlight it Wasn't rob's

52
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:25,639
washing rotary folding up into a thin, pole wasn't an

53
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:31,639
open shed. Door it was, alive and it, spun, spun

54
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:35,240
then shot at frightening speed towards the patio doors Of rob's.

55
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,039
Home the shape didn't rise and fall naturally like a,

56
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:42,280
person but disjointedly like Nothing i'd ever. SEEN i Know

57
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,120
i'm that, Crazy steve, SAID i see it in your, Eyes.

58
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:52,479
Danny over recent, Weeks i've been thinking and thinking about that.

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Conversation wasn't until Last, saturday, however THAT i faced the,

60
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,759
truth faced something more than an indus in a shadow

61
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,479
over a garden, fence through a house party whilst my

62
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:06,919
parents were, away And steve got himself into a little,

63
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:11,000
trouble not a habit of, his but that last can

64
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,439
of Scrumpy jack really did a number on his, tongue

65
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,360
made him say something regrettable To Terry. Rosten and we

66
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,639
don't talk To Terry, rostin don't even invite him into,

67
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,920
parties but he always shows, up frightens, everybody and he

68
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,959
delights in doing. So hours after the party, Ended terry came.

69
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Back he Knocked steve into his, back flattened my dumbfounded.

70
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,879
Friend the second he answered the, DOOR i was standing

71
00:04:37,879 --> 00:04:39,519
in the middle of the living room with a clear

72
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,040
view of the lobby through the, doorway clear view of

73
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,759
that maliciously smiling, classmate, who to me it always looked

74
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,000
like something more than a, peer more than a. Boy

75
00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:56,680
terry was, bulky too bulky for an eighteen year old

76
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,519
whose form seemed to fill the, hallway and that was

77
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,040
WHY i simply watched as the horror. Began As Terry,

78
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,839
rosten smiling at, me repeatedly slammed each of his fists

79
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:09,680
Into steve's, face and whilst he, did he kept his

80
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,600
head twisted to the, side kept his wrenched gaze locked onto.

81
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:20,519
Mine AS i, said he delighted in frightening, people delighted

82
00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:23,759
in horrifying me with the torture of, waiting waiting to

83
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,879
meet the same. Fate, STILL i surprised myself When steve's

84
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:31,560
sputters started to, quiet and one of my feet lurched,

85
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,600
forward AND i prepared to challenge the haunting ghoul in the.

86
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,800
Entryway terry took a turn at surprising, me, however by

87
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,000
stopping short of taking my friend's. Life and it wasn't

88
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,800
that the monster had seen me take a tentative step.

89
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,399
Forward it was that he heard What i'd, heard that

90
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:53,879
familiar bubbling sound of bottomless. Depth terry snarled and, twisted

91
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,000
clearly ready to turn his fists into a new, victim

92
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,079
but he changed upon seeing something beyond my field of.

93
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:07,560
View immediately shrank from a hefty haunting man into a,

94
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:15,399
teenager a, boy something. LESS i finally saw the brute

95
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:23,879
as he had always been. Minuscule THEN i didn't See

96
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,000
terry at, all as his rag doll body was yanked

97
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,160
with a series of, snaps out of, sight yanked towards

98
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:33,720
the front. DOOR i, screamed screamed Because terry's body had

99
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,519
disappeared in a split, second scream because he hadn't, screamed

100
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,680
and just WHAT i felt the scream. Die as the

101
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,639
last puff of air left my, lungs there came a,

102
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,959
second startling. Horror terry's body flew back across the, entryway

103
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,120
falling alongside Unconscious, steve who lay on the. Floorboards the

104
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,000
horrid boy lay in a broken tangle of, red strained,

105
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,399
limbs but still clung to, life gasped for help with my.

106
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,959
BREATH i found myself unable to scream a second, time

107
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,120
SO i simply stood AND i, watched watched as a

108
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,560
shadow washed across the far wall of the, hallway the

109
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,759
SHADOW i recognized from that night back In. February it

110
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:17,000
was joined by floorboards creaking under some, unimaginable unthinkable, weight

111
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,399
one that moved with a stilted janky, motion and the

112
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:25,399
shadowy thing stepped past the edge of the lounge's, doorframe

113
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:30,839
finally revealing itself to. Me my, jaw my jaw Hung

114
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,279
there came an unclothed, leg the bare calf and thigh

115
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,480
of something longer than an ordinary, Limb and at the

116
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,639
end of this alien, appendage rather than a, foot was

117
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:54,120
a human, hand one with fingers flat against the. Floor

118
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,000
into view came left and right legs of human proportions and,

119
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,519
design naked limbs moving like some macabre. Tripod human legs

120
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,439
swung through the, air propelled forward by the bending third,

121
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:10,839
leg which emerged From rob's groin in place of a.

122
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:14,519
Member the, nude three legged creature walked through my parents',

123
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,920
