1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome listeners to fast food Horror. This episode is

2
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,600
episode two in our urban legend series of The Bell Tower,

3
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,000
the founder tape of Jenny Stratton.

4
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll have to do is get to the top

5
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,079
of the tower, ring that stupid bell and run out.

6
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:07,879
That's it easy. Walk a few flights of stairs, hit

7
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,599
the bell, or however you ring a bell and walk down,

8
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:13,959
Hit the bell and get out. Hit the bell and

9
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,280
get out. Ten minutes and this will all be over.

10
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,280
They'll all stop picking on me. It will all stop,

11
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,840
all the jokes and everything will stop. I'll be cool.

12
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,159
This camera is heavy, weighs a ton. Ugh. Tommy already

13
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,239
said it's on and I don't have to touch anything.

14
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,480
There's all lay on. And he also said there's a

15
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:38,599
clock on the screen. Let's look. Oh there it is

16
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:52,359
eleven forty one. Gotta hurry up. Okay, I'm at the entrance.

17
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,439
It's all boarded up. Now what now? What can't stop here?

18
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,120
If I stop here, they'll just keep picking on me.

19
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:04,519
They'll say I chickened out. I have to find a way.

20
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,400
Maybe if I if I kick out a board at

21
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,080
the bottom, they all seem pretty loose. If I turn

22
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:19,639
around and there we go. I can call through that

23
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:28,439
easy camera in first and here I go. This is crazy. Hello,

24
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:34,039
it's so dark and it smells like like, ugh, my

25
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,759
brother's sneakers. Oh god, at least this camera has a

26
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,319
light on, and I can see the moonlight at the

27
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:44,879
top of the bell tower. Can't see the bell. The

28
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,520
stair spiral up to the top floor. You can see

29
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,560
the moonlight coming down through the opening at the top

30
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,479
of the stairs. Seven stories up. Seems really high. The

31
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,560
bell must be up there. Here we go, though. The

32
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:02,919
stairs seem pretty dirty, which surprising. What dusty and covered

33
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,960
in coblebs. I'm gonna need to take a shower. This

34
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,520
the squeaking of steps and helping, it's reminding me of

35
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,919
that scary movie we watched us week where never mind,

36
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,280
I don't want to think about that. I don't want

37
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:23,000
to think about that. Nope, nope, nope. I don't remember

38
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,960
it being windy outside. I don't remember it being windy

39
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,280
before I crawled in. That's weird, guys, right, it's windy

40
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:38,400
outside right now? Did it just start? Okay, I'm at

41
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,159
the top looking down. Oh wow, should not have looked down.

42
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,280
That's crazy. It's pitch black. Looking down, I can see

43
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,159
the first few steps below me, and then nothing. The

44
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:56,560
camera light just stops. It's like nothing exists beyond the darkness.

45
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,479
I know I'm only up about seven storm Okay, never mind.

46
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,479
Up we go ast few steps and dad ah wow,

47
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:12,479
And there's the belt. Pretty big. I can't even get

48
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,240
my arms around it. It's hanging there from the middle

49
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,040
of a beam. It looks like that one in Philadelphia

50
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:20,959
we just learned about in social studies. How the heck

51
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,839
do I ring it? There's no rope to pool. I

52
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,839
don't think if I punch it will make any noise. Well,

53
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:35,199
let's try out. Nope, not ringing. How would they do that?

54
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,199
There has to be something up here I can hit with.

55
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Oh the camera, I can just getting Tommy, what is

56
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:49,040
up here? Oh? Is that what they used? Looked at?

57
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,279
I was paying attention money. We're showing me tools in

58
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:54,920
your shop. I found a wooden mallet. This should work

59
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:56,439
well enough. Here we go.

60
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: That's so loud.

61
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: Okay, mission accomplished. Camera clock says midnight. Let's get the

62
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,439
hell out of here. God, these steps are so dark.

63
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,240
So glad I have some camera. Without it, i'd be blind.

64
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,879
Down the steps I go, then I'm running out of

65
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:28,079
that damn hole. They better cheer for me. I watched

66
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,560
the track of how many floors I've gone down. Kind

67
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,120
of hard to keep tracking the dark, and you just

68
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:37,079
keep throwing in circles, no landings, no windows to see

69
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:39,759
impiden getting closer to the ground. But I have to

70
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,240
be getting close. Why does it feel like it's longer

71
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,560
going down than when I went up. There's no way

72
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,399
it should take this long. It's definitely been fifteen minutes.

73
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:57,040
Let's check the camera clock, twelve sixteen. I'm still going down,

74
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,800
lower and lower and lower. No windows or anything to

75
00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:04,240
help me keep trapping floors. I don't remember there being

76
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:10,879
just many stairs. It's twelve twenty six and I'm still

77
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:14,279
jumped going down. I'm going back up. I don't understand

78
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,879
what's going on. It took ten minutes to go up

79
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:23,800
the first time. This is messed up. I'm back at

80
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,480
the top. Took me like ten minutes from where I

81
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,399
turned around, though I never out to the ground floor.

82
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,920
I just kept walking down the staircase, lower and lower.

83
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,680
I never even saw the ground. I don't remember there

84
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,279
being a basement. Did I miss there being a basement.

85
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:43,079
I'm going to go down again. I must have missed

86
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:48,839
the basement opening and accidentally just kept going. I'm going

87
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,360
down the staircase and keeping the camera light angled so

88
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:54,560
I can see part of the steps and the exterior walls.

89
00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:58,160
This way, I can see as I've passed the ground floor,

90
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,480
but I still don't remember reaching the ground floor the

91
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:05,040
last time. It's twelve forty seven am. On the camera stop,

92
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,199
I've stopped countering how many times I've gone around the staircase,

93
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,759
But according to the camera clock, it's Oh my gosh,

94
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:18,480
one oh five am. I've been walking for eighteen minutes

95
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:22,160
down the staircase. It just keeps going lower and lower.

96
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,399
Actually can't see the bottom. The tower is only seven stories.

97
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:30,839
Maybe the floor is just beyond the light. Let's try something.

98
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
The floor is concrete. I have a quarter. If I

99
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:35,920
toss it, I should hear it hit so I can

100
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:44,480
tell how far away I am one two three nothing.

101
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,800
How could I not hit by now there has to

102
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,759
be a floor. Let's try this again and one two

103
00:07:52,600 --> 00:08:03,680
three nothing. I'm going back up. It's one ten. Back

104
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,839
at the top it's one twenty. I don't understand when

105
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:09,160
I go up it's ten minutes no matter where I

106
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:12,040
start from. But no matter how long I go down,

107
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,199
I never find the bottom. I never passed the ground floor.

108
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:21,319
It's like an endless staircase. I'm going down again. It's

109
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:31,519
one twenty four. Okay, guys, it's two thirty four. I've

110
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,240
walked for an hour. It just keeps going no ground floor.

111
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,360
Like that's crazy. How far I've walked down the staircase.

112
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,600
And when I finally gave up, I turned around and

113
00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:45,200
went back up. Ten minutes to go up? What took

114
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,279
me sixty minutes to descend? I don't understand. The slashs

115
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,039
of the tower are too high up. I can't climb those.

116
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,799
I've tried shouting. Don't think anyone could hear me? Did

117
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,759
you guys? Forget about me? Not sure how I'm getting

118
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,600
out of here or what's going on. I'm just going

119
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,600
to start ringing the bell till someone finds me. It's

120
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:13,240
been a few hours now, Clack says eight am. But

121
00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,720
the sun never came up. It still looks like it's

122
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:20,159
dark outside. I'm going to try and throw the VHS

123
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240
tape out of a slab. Maybe someone will find it.

124
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,799
I hope they find it I hope they find me
