1
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,399
Speaker 1: This happened on the night of Easter Sunday. My older

2
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,880
brother and I had been roommates for a few years,

3
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,880
living in an apartment about a fifteen minute walk away

4
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,039
from our parents. Every year we would walk there to

5
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,119
have dinner with our parents for Easter. Our apartment in

6
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,159
our parents' house were separated by a fairly large park,

7
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:49,240
but a trail went straight through it, which crossed under

8
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,079
a bridge at about the halfway mark. It was early

9
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,159
in the evening when my brother and I made our

10
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,719
way through the park toward our parents. We weren't the

11
00:00:56,759 --> 00:00:59,840
only people out there, but it was becoming very empty

12
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,200
by the time we made it to the bridge. We

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,000
hadn't seen anyone in a few minutes. That's when we

14
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:11,120
started hearing something moving in the bushes. We both stopped

15
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,879
and looked all around, trying to see where the rustling

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
was coming from. Sometimes we would get to see a

17
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:19,719
raccoon or something crawling out of a bush, but we

18
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,599
didn't find anything. After a few seconds, we kept walking

19
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200
and passed under the bridge, and when we came out

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,120
the other side, we heard a whistle. It sounded like

21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,079
it was a person whistling, not a bird or anything.

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,519
We just ignored it and kept walking, picking up the

23
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,959
pace quite a bit to exit the park as soon

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,040
as possible. We eventually made it to our parents place

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,959
a few minutes later, but by then we were able

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,439
to joke about how we'd gotten so spooped out by

27
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,560
essentially nothing. We soon forgot about it, as we had

28
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:54,359
Easter dinner with our family and stayed for a few

29
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:57,120
hours to catch up and hang out with everyone. Once

30
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:59,959
it was starting to get late, people started to head home,

31
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:03,560
so my brother and I followed sue. While saying our goodbyes,

32
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:06,359
I talked with my brother about getting an uber home

33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,360
and avoiding the walk through the pathway since it was late.

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,240
He told me I was overreacting and convinced me that

35
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:15,159
nothing would happen, and so we left the house and

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,199
re entered the park. As we were walking, it was

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,479
pitch black. There weren't any street lights around, so we

38
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,039
had to use the flashlights from our phones to guide

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,599
us home. I never walked through the park this late

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,560
at night and had always found it relaxing and peaceful,

41
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:32,879
but without light, the whole place was creepy as hell.

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,639
I was about to say something to my brother about

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,039
how we should have gotten a ride, but just at

44
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:42,639
that moment, we heard something nearby. It was the same

45
00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:46,199
rustling sounds we heard before, but in the darkness, so

46
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,400
it felt twice as loud. A few seconds later we

47
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:56,080
heard the whistle again too. A chill ran down my spine,

48
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,639
and I know my brother felt it too. That's when

49
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,280
we both started speed walking down the path. We knew

50
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:03,919
we were almost halfway home when we saw the bridge,

51
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,840
but we didn't slow down. We walked into the tunnel

52
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:09,159
and hurried to the other side, making it out in

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,000
half the time it usually took us Getting out of there.

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,759
Never felt so relieving, that is, until we hurt the

55
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,360
whistle again. This time it sounded like it was right

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,240
behind us. We looked over our shoulders at the same

57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840
time and saw it. There stood a man standing at

58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,120
the other side of the tunnel. He was dressed as

59
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:30,319
the Easter Bunny, but he was holding an axe. Something

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,159
about the side of him made us stop dead in

61
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,520
our tracks, frozen with fear. We looked at him, then

62
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,280
at each other, then back at him, trying to make

63
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,960
sense of it. What's up with that guy? Maybe it

64
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:43,639
works at the mall, sure, because every kid wants a

65
00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:46,080
picture with the Easter Bunny about to chop their head off.

66
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:54,400
Oh shit, EO, let's kip out of here. A damn

67
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,080
it my ankle, shit, get up, get ch shit, he's

68
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:21,439
running towards us. Stay away, Stay away. Hell. I didn't

69
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,879
want to leave my brother behind, but I didn't have

70
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:26,199
a choice. I had to get to safety and call

71
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:28,279
for help. When I made it out of the park,

72
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:31,879
I called the police and then my parents. Minutes later,

73
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,759
the police arrived and escorted me back to where we

74
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:38,160
were attacked. By then, it was a nightmare. There was

75
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,040
blood everywhere, and my brother's body had been completely destroyed,

76
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,480
packed to pieces and scattered across the pavement. Hold that,

77
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,279
but no sign of the bunny Man. There have been

78
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,040
no arrests since it happened. It was labeled as an

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,879
urban legend on the internet. But those people act like

80
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,639
my brother wasn't murdered. They act like I don't still

81
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,240
hear his screams every night, Like I didn't listen to

82
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,879
his voice getting further away as I ran while he

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:16,360
was begging for his life. For this Easter, it was

84
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:19,519
only fitting that we revisit the infamous bunny Man Bridge

85
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,160
urban legend for those of you who haven't heard of

86
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,040
the bunny Man, he was a notorious killer that wore

87
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,839
a white rabbit suit and at the stroke of midnight.

88
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,839
Lore has it that if you speak his name three times,

89
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,160
he'll appear bunny Man, bunny Man, bunny Man, but don't

90
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:38,160
expect to survive. He'll slash your throat and leave your

91
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:41,720
body dangling from the bridge. Another rendition of the bunny

92
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,120
Man was that he was a spirit of an escaped

93
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:47,600
mental patient who haunts the railroad bridge, living in the

94
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:51,319
woods near the bridge, where he ate rabbits, taxidermy that

95
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:54,360
kind of thing, and wearing their skins like leather face

96
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,560
and leaving their remains hanging in the trees. There are

97
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,560
plenty of versions of the bunny Man Bridge legend, all

98
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:04,199
equally eerie, making the one lane tunnel of Colcester Road

99
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:07,480
such a popular spot that police daked out every year,

100
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,319
chasing off truspassers searching for a scare. The bunny Man

101
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,879
Bridge was featured in the Fox documentary Scariest Places on

102
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:18,360
Earth and has been mentioned countless times across the Internet.

103
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:38,959
My wife and I had three sons, and they had

104
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
plenty of cousins, aunts and uncles, to grow up around.

105
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:45,279
Our house was the biggest in the family, so everyone

106
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,199
came over whenever we hosted a holiday like Thanksgiving, New

107
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:52,879
Year's or Birthday party. So when it was Easter Sunday,

108
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,120
we invited everyone over for dinner. It was always a

109
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,839
good time. But there was one person in the mix

110
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:01,040
that I didn't want to be in the mix. It

111
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,959
was my brother. His name was Robert, and he had

112
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,759
always been an outcast in the family. He was a

113
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,480
weirdo when we were growing up, and it only got

114
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:12,079
worse as the years went by. He dropped out of

115
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,079
school and was never capable of being social with people,

116
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,879
so he just went from job to job his whole life,

117
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:21,720
never finding his footing in anything. About five years ago,

118
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:25,360
his luck finally ran out. He was broken in debt,

119
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,519
with no job, no car, and no place to live.

120
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:32,000
Being the caring brother I am, I didn't hesitate to

121
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,160
let him stay with us when he asked for help.

122
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,800
The only thing Robert seemed to be good at was

123
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:40,160
scaring my kids with his creepy behavior and leeching off

124
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:42,839
me and my wife. For the most part, all he

125
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,720
did was sleep in his room all day, watching TV

126
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,839
with the door locked. And only coming out when he

127
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:51,000
absolutely needed to. I just didn't want my brother to

128
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,720
be homeless. But everyone, and I mean everyone was trying

129
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,759
to get me to kick him out. My wife was

130
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,360
pissed at both of us, My kids were begging me

131
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,519
to get rid of the creepy man sleep agin the

132
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,759
room next to them, and even my relatives were baffled

133
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,759
by my inaction. The few times that Robert tried to

134
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,680
hang out with us, it was unbearably awkward. His interests

135
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,519
were all macabre, graphic stuff I didn't want my kids

136
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,199
to be exposed to, so I often had to shut

137
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,079
down his attempts at conversation. All in all, Robert's life

138
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:24,160
was a shit show. When Easter came around, we were

139
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:28,199
hosting as usual with me, my wife, our kids, and

140
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:31,519
all the relatives that were close to twenty people attending

141
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,440
the celebration for Easter Sunday, everything was good for a while.

142
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,039
We painted eggs, did the traditional egg hunt, and got

143
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,080
everyone to sit in the living room and watch a

144
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,799
movie together for hours. There was no sign of Robert.

145
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,080
My wife and her sister started getting dinner ready when

146
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,320
they heard a loud thump coming from upstairs. It sounded

147
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,759
like Robert had stepped out of his room, swinging the

148
00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:57,799
door open. That's when he came downstairs and asked for

149
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:00,600
a glass of water. As I began to poor Robert

150
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,360
or glass, he leaned down to my son and started

151
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:06,240
talking to him in a low voice. My wife snapped

152
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600
at me to go stop him, so I quickly got

153
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,480
between them and sent Robert back upstairs as kindly as

154
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,000
I could. The guy then gave me a dead stare

155
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,559
from hell and then marched up the stairs like a

156
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,440
demented twelve year old would, except he was in his forties.

157
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,799
About two hours later, all the food was ready and

158
00:09:23,879 --> 00:09:25,799
we got all the guests to sit at the table.

159
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,120
Everyone was talking excitedly about how good the food was. Guys,

160
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,200
I know we all want to eat, so it's time

161
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,879
to say grace. Okay really now we can probably just

162
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,799
fix them a plate. Hey, buddy, we didn't forget about you,

163
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:46,360
just thought you wouldn't want to come down. Robert, what

164
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:52,440
are you doing with that? No? No, no, it was

165
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,120
so unreal. I walked among the remains of my family

166
00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:00,320
for hours, looking into their paralyzed faces, watching their blood

167
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,360
pulled together, and see through the floorboards, smelling their finally missions,

168
00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:07,240
like the breadth of death itself was on my cheek.

169
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:09,679
I knew it was wrong. I knew it was a

170
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,759
monstrous thing to do. Yet some people go their whole

171
00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:15,960
lives without accomplishing anything. I knew half the people I

172
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,279
took out were just like that, unimportant, unmemorable, doomed to

173
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,039
be forgotten by history. I was going to be one

174
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,679
of them, too, but I changed that. It's not that

175
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,559
I enjoyed it. It wasn't like scratching an itch. It

176
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,320
was more life flipping that light switch off and on

177
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,919
three times, just so you can stop thinking about it.

178
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:36,960
I only felt hollow relief that I couldn't go for

179
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,279
another second without it. So I wasn't going to be

180
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,480
a coward and try to avoid the consequences of my actions.

181
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,919
You've reached emergency services. Reason to me. I am at

182
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,559
six three five Minor avenue. My family was having their

183
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:02,600
Easter dinner and I did something bad, very very bad. Sir.

184
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,000
What did you do, sir? Sir? Hello, sir. I walked

185
00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:10,720
outside and waited for the police on the porch. I

186
00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:13,320
wanted to get one last breath of free air before

187
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240
they put me away forever. It took the police ten

188
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,080
precious minutes to arrive, and since then I've never seen

189
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,600
the outside world. This story was inspired by a horrific

190
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,840
incident that occurred on Easter Sunday. A forty one year

191
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:32,159
old man named James Ruper took out eleven members of

192
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,399
his own family and his mother's house in Ohio. Rupert

193
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,639
was found guilty and received two life sentences to be

194
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,759
served consecutively. He was moved to Franklin Medical Center in Columbus,

195
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Ohio in twenty nineteen because of his declining health. James

196
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,000
eventually passed away from natural causes on June fourth of

197
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:53,840
twenty twenty two while incarcerated at the Franklin Medical Center.

198
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,960
Rupert was eighty eight at the time. The night before

199
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
the murders, James went out, as he did nearly every night,

200
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:03,320
at a cocktail lounge. He talked with an employee, saying

201
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,240
he was frustrated with his mother's demands on him and

202
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,679
his impending eviction, and that he quote unquote needed to

203
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,320
solve the problem. According to Bishop, Rupert stated that his

204
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,960
mother had complained that if he could afford to buy

205
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,480
beer seven nights a week, he could afford to pay

206
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:40,240
the rent. This happened around Easter, which still traumatizes me

207
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
till this day. I used to do community work at

208
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,879
this old church a few years ago. It was more

209
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:48,720
than just a place of worship. It was my home.

210
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,879
I grew up in a very religious family, where Sunday

211
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,919
Mass was non negotiable, holidays were all day affairs, and

212
00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:59,440
praying was an everyday thing. I knew everyone in the church,

213
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,000
from the nuns to the choirs, the priest Father Michael,

214
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,799
and a lot of regulars that came to pray. We

215
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,000
were basically a tight knit community, which I would consider

216
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,879
my family to some degree. Then things began to change.

217
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,679
One of the nuns, who will call Sister Agnes, started

218
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,240
to look off like more gaunt and pale than usual.

219
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:26,440
Sister Agnes, yes, is everything okay? Yes, yes, yes, yes,

220
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,080
everything is just fine, no problems at all. What a

221
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:36,360
lovely day it is? Right? Uh? Yeah, it is a

222
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:39,960
lovely day. The week leading up to Easter was a whirlwind.

223
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,200
We were all working overtime getting the church ready for

224
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,360
the big day. I was helping clean the restrooms and

225
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:50,480
Sister Agnes was looking particularly frail. The priest Father Michael

226
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,799
was with her, so I didn't worry too much, as

227
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:55,240
he was looking after her. That was how it was

228
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,120
for the next few days, and before I knew it,

229
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,480
it was Easter Sunday. It wasn't at all what I expected.

230
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:06,399
What was supposed to be a big celebration became a nightmare.

231
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,080
When I made my way to the church for the mass,

232
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:12,480
I saw nothing but police cars everywhere. The church was

233
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,000
cordoned off, no mass, just the cops, and that awful

234
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:20,039
sinking filling in my stomach. Then the news broke Sister

235
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:24,159
Agnes had been taken out. She was allegedly punctured about

236
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,480
thirty times with an inverted cross carved into her chest.

237
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,000
At first I couldn't believe it. It was something out

238
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,720
of a horror movie, far from the peaceful church I

239
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,320
had always adored. Had broke to her sobbing and shaking.

240
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,720
How could this happen? Who could do something so evil?

241
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:44,480
The whole neighborhood was in shock. Everyone was whispering about

242
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:46,360
how it could have been a cult or something that

243
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,000
did this to her. But over time there were no

244
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:52,799
leads or suspects. It became a cold case and everyone

245
00:14:52,919 --> 00:14:55,440
just went back to living their normal lives. But I

246
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,679
was still terrified. I couldn't even walk past the church

247
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,159
without getting nervous, so I started going to a different

248
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,120
church just to feel safe. It took me three years

249
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:07,840
before I could even think about going back there, but

250
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,840
eventually I did. But it wasn't the same. Something about

251
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:15,000
the whole situation just didn't sit right with me. During

252
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:17,639
one night after Mass, I stayed to catch up with

253
00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:20,600
Father Michael. I waited for him to complete his church

254
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:24,000
only obligations, and when everyone else had left the church,

255
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,559
it was just me and Father Michael. We started catching up,

256
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:31,039
recalling the good old days stuff like that. I know

257
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,399
that it should have been comforting for me, but for

258
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:37,399
reasons I couldn't explain. Something was off. What happened next

259
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,519
caught me off guard. One moment we were sitting down

260
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,120
and socializing, and the next he suddenly lunched at me.

261
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,200
They're hugging me like a wild animal, while cackling like

262
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:57,799
a lunatic. I kicked and strained as hard as I could,

263
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,440
hoping someone could hear me and come to my I ate,

264
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,360
shut up, shut up, shut the hell up, but you're

265
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,960
gonna end up like her. I couldn't believe what I

266
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:08,320
was hearing or what was happening. All I could do

267
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,000
was fight back, like a cornered animal. But I couldn't

268
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:13,279
do much as he was much stronger than me. He'd

269
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,559
pinned me to the ground and held me there. All

270
00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:17,360
I could do was kick and scream and try to

271
00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:20,399
fight the freak off. I was basically in survival mode.

272
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:24,399
After several minutes, I managed to break free, getting away

273
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:27,200
from him. I ran like my life depended on him.

274
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,039
He was chasing after me, pleading for me to stop,

275
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,039
like a lunatic. I felt like a trapped animal waiting

276
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,399
to be slaughtered. I ran for the front door of

277
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,639
the church, not knowing the caretaker already had it locked.

278
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,559
But before Father Michael could catch up to me, I

279
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:43,759
ran to the side hallway and was able to find

280
00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:45,799
an exit. I got the hell out of there and

281
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:48,559
ran until I arrived home. I locked all the doors

282
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,600
and windows, sobbing and shaking. I called the police, telling

283
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,799
them everything that had happened. When they arrived at the church,

284
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,240
they immediately arrested him and brought into jail. And that's

285
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,000
when the horrible truth came out. The news reports and

286
00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:05,359
police investigations pushed the authorities to reopen the case of

287
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,799
Sister Agnes. It was later found out that Father Michael

288
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,160
had been hearing voices in his head and that they

289
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,680
were allegedly too impossible for him to ignore, causing him

290
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,400
to act in a rage and take her out in

291
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,839
a twisted ritualistic way. He took a knife and did

292
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,119
what he did thirty times. When authorities asked him why

293
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,599
he pierced an inverted cross on her, he said he

294
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,559
did it because he wanted to make it seem as

295
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:30,400
if there was a Satanic ritual that took place, so

296
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,839
that there was no heed on him. But all along

297
00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:36,440
it was him. He'd been hiding in plain sight. Poor

298
00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:40,920
sister Agnes, she didn't stand a chance. This story was

299
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,079
inspired by a horrific Easter incident that happened on Holy

300
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Saturday in Ohio and involved a nun and a priest.

301
00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:51,400
In April nineteen eighty, sister Margaret and Paul was found

302
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,519
in the chapel of Toledo Mercy Hospital. She had been

303
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:58,240
pierced by a sharp object over thirty times, including nine

304
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,160
wounds in the form of an inverted cross, and covered

305
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,799
with an altar cloth. The scene was made to look

306
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:06,799
like a satanic ritual that had taken place. It took

307
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:09,720
two decades for the slang to be solved, in which

308
00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:13,279
time the case went cold and was only reopened after

309
00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:16,680
a woman accused a priest of ritual intimate torment. That

310
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,039
pre slash culprit was father Gerald Robinson, the same priest

311
00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:25,039
who had conducted Margaret's funeral service. He was finally arrested

312
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:28,119
in two thousand and six and sentenced to life in prison,

313
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,640
where he later passed in twenty fourteen.
