Literally, 53 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.400 you just stuff your head in a pumpkin and you're 54 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.680 gonna love the photos we got there. 55 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:47.800 They're awesome, awesome. 56 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.960 But we have more fun stuff happening right now. 57 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:53.560 Yeah, I'm excited for this. 58 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:54.520 We got a game. 59 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:55.759 This is a cool idea. 60 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:01.080 So what's gonna happen? I did some research on three 61 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.719 urban legends. Okay, not one, not two, not four. 62 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:06.280 But three? 63 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:11.319 Three okay, okay, okay. Two of these three urban legends 64 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.680 are true. One of them is false. 65 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.360 Who are going to be bad at this? Now? 66 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.719 It's may not be very hard for people who know 67 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.560 their urban legends. I'm fairly easy ones, okay, okay, but 68 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.879 we are going to talk about them, and it's up 69 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.759 to you to figure out which are the real urban legends, 70 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.439 which ones are actually true, and which one is the 71 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.199 red herring, which one is false? 72 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.280 And I'm assuming at some point, like on social media 73 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.759 or something, you're going to tell us which ones are 74 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.759 which or no, there has. 75 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.159 To be well I'll put yeah, I'll post all the 76 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.520 urban legends. But if you want to hear about it, 77 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.319 you got to hear in this episode or look them 78 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:55.080 up yourself. 79 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.840 I guess, but yeah, but I think it's some Oh yeah, fine, Okay, Well. 80 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.639 And what's the point of them listen to the episode 81 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:01.759 if they just see on Instagram? 82 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:03.879 Oh that's the real But I mean like a week later, 83 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.120 but then who knows. Some people don't always like listen 84 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:06.840 to right away. 85 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.879 Right, just listen to the episode. You'll figure it out. Okay, yeah, okay, 86 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.319 you're ready to hear them. 87 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:13.240 I'm totally ready. 88 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.639 Okay. So we're gonna start off. I gotta scroll all 89 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.160 the way up here. We are going to start off 90 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:24.120 with the strange story of Elmer McCurdy. Okay, you ready 91 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:24.319 for this? 92 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.439 I'm totally ready. 93 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.480 Okay. So, first of all, imagine a carnival funhouse. All right, 94 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.439 We're talking mirrors and ghosts and ghouls at like every turn. 95 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.160 There's jump, scares and thrills all around you having a 96 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.680 blast as you're walking through, and you come around the 97 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.839 corner and you're face to face with a fake zombie 98 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.040 strung up by a rope. Okay, now it's the same 99 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.879 one you saw last year and the year before. There's 100 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.160 mannekins and props all throughout the funhouse, and in fact, 101 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.160 they were there the year before and the year before 102 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.639 that too. The funhouse hasn't really changed much all over 103 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.079 the years. In fact, it's pretty much always been the same. 104 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.360 So you kind of laugh it off, and you know, 105 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.519 same old, same old, And you walk past, and as 106 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.279 you brush press past the prop, you knock it down 107 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.040 on your way by, so you turn around to pick 108 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.240 it up, and you find a piece is actually broken off. Uh, 109 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.360 And inside the prop it's not paper mache or anything 110 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:28.319 like that like you'd expect. Instead, you see tissue and bone. 111 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:36.360 The mannequin is a real body there. Oh gosh, that's 112 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.279 pretty much exactly what happened in the nineteen sixties. A 113 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.560 body wound up in Long Beach, California, hanging from a 114 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.720 rope in a funhouse. Thousands of visitors passed by the 115 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.439 body over the years, thinking it was just another dummy 116 00:05:52.600 --> 00:06:00.519 hanging until film crew were filming a movie and someone 117 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.000 accidentally knocked the prop down and it broke and they 118 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.399 discovered the tissue inside, realizing it was a real human being. 119 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.319 Oh, okay, that's crazy. 120 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:14.279 That's urban legend number one. 121 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.759 Okay, but just wait, so the name that you said, yes, 122 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.079 is that the name of the dummy person? 123 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.279 That's supposedly the name of the person. 124 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.720 Yes, sorry I should be calling them a dumb but 125 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.319 like the person that was that was at diseased hanging there. 126 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.839 Yeah, apparently a man by the name of Elmer McCurdy. Okay, 127 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.800 was strung up in a funhouse for years before people realized. 128 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.120 Wow, that is a way to go. I mean, it's 129 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.920 kind of cool, but just really kind of shitty too. 130 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.600 So what are your thoughts on that one? Are you 131 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.040 leaning towards real or fake here? 132 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:51.759 Well, I don't know, Like I kind of feel like 133 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.319 I want to hear the other two because I feel 134 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.360 like that's fake. I feel like that wouldn't go on 135 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.600 that long before someone realized that it was a real person. 136 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:02.879 Okay. 137 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.079 I just can't imagine that it would be hanging there 138 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.800 for like that, like an extended period of time before 139 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:09.600 someone noticed. 140 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.000 Okay, so you're leaning towards fake, but you're not going 141 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:16.839 to pull that trigger yet. Correct. Okay, let's move on 142 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:18.839 to the second urban legend. 143 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.399 Ready, I'm ready. 144 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.279 This is the legend of the Green Man. It goes 145 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.360 that the green Man wanders around Washington, Pennsylvania late at 146 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.079 night and chases anyone who's caught out after dark. The 147 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.199 Green Man apparently glows green as a result of being 148 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.920 struck by lightning in an industrial incident. Holy shit, if 149 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.959 you are close enough to get a look at him. 150 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.120 He also just so happens to have no face, no 151 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:56.199 thank you. So apparently, in nineteen twenties, when a man 152 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.199 by the name of Raymond was eight years old, he 153 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.120 was playing out side and was climbing a telephone pole 154 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.839 when he was suddenly shocked with eleven thousand vaults of 155 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.839 electricity and was sent flying to the ground in a blinding. 156 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.839 Flash that would kill you. 157 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:17.079 I think the high vaulted shock burnt Raymond's face and arms, 158 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:23.120 leaving holes where his eyes and nose once were. Raymond 159 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.959 would become the ghostly figure known as the Green Man 160 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.600 who walks the streets at night. 161 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.399 Okay, so he did die, but now he's. 162 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.919 A ghost, so the legend goes. 163 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.799 You know, I'm just gonna say, like, I'm not okay 164 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.279 with things chase chasing. Okay, Like I can watch zombie 165 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:45.799 shows and. 166 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.240 Stuff, but when they're walking, it's okay. 167 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.240 Fine if they're just like zombies speed, But if those 168 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.879 zombies are fucking running, what. 169 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.440 Is that that think? That's like twenty eight days later. Yeah, 170 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:55.519 like Dawn of the Dead. 171 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.919 I just think I would honestly just give up instantly, 172 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.440 Like there's just no way. Yeah, so this thing chasing, 173 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.000 like I just can't deal with chasing. There's just yeah. 174 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.039 But okay, oh man, now I have no idea. 175 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.679 So only one of these stories is fake. So one 176 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.879 of at least one of those has to be true. 177 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.879 Oh my gosh, and I feel like they're both fake. 178 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.159 I'm going to think all three of them. 179 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:23.960 Are fake, aren't the probably? 180 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.799 Oh gosh, Okay, you're. 181 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:28.440 Ready for the third? 182 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.039 Yeah I am. 183 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:32.440 You're stressing pretty hard. 184 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.960 Oh actually, I'm stressing because I think I'm just like 185 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.879 almost ninety nine percent sure I'm going to get this wrong. 186 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.720 All right, Well, let's see if you can go and 187 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.000 get the third one.

But they're fun to put 195 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.679 on your arm, your legs, and you know, occasionally your 196 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:15.960 forehead depending on who you are me Namely, they wear 197 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.559 off pretty quick, you know, a day or two and 198 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.360 they're good.

Anyone who really wears these as 203 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.720 a child, generally you feel cool, especially in today's age 204 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.759 when increasing popularity and real tattoos, you kind of feel like, 205 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:40.480 you know, you're just like mom or dad brandishing that 206 00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:45.279 new ink. So it may seem cool. But however, a 207 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:47.919 scare came to many parents in the early two thousands 208 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.559 when a harmless kid's temporary tattoo became much more to fear. 209 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:55.600 It began with one family having their son come home 210 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.559 from school one day waving a new tattoo to his 211 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:02.080 mom as he came running into the kid. The boy, Jacob, 212 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.639 explained that he was given the tattoo by a friend 213 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.200 after school. Now, often the boy traded stickers and collectible 214 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.279 cards with his friends, so this wasn't anything new. 215 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.240 Makes sense, So. 216 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.279 After helping her son put on the new tattoo on 217 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.320 his hand. With a damp cloth, he proudly showcased the 218 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:23.039 bright blue star as his face lit up with excitement. Soon, however, 219 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.360 things took a bit of a turn. After Jacob's mum 220 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.480 was hauling a basket of laundry upstairs to fold in 221 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.399 the master bedroom. She walked past her seven year old 222 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.399 son bedroom up on the second floor as well, and 223 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.279 she caught a glimpse of him crawling out the second 224 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:42.320 story window. She called out, what are you doing? 225 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:43.600 I bet? 226 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:49.519 He turned around said to his mum, Mum, I can fly, 227 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.440 as he jumped from the window. 228 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.240 No, he's seven seven. Holy shit. 229 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.720 It was discovered later that the blue star tattoo was 230 00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.360 laid with LSD and it had been handed out to 231 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.039 Jacob and several of his friends after school by a 232 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.200 man dressed in black. 233 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.360 Oh that is just terrible. 234 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.919 Those are the three urban legends? 235 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.879 Is that just that?

No one gets to hear anything. 274 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.879 So this is a strange afterlife of Almer mccurty. He 275 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.399 was born New Year's Day in eighteen eighty to an 276 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.919 unwed seventeen year old woman. He grew up in a 277 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.360 as a troubled teen where he eventually discovered alcohol and 278 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.639 everything went downhill from there. 279 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:28.919 Oh shucks. 280 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.879 Elmer was a plumber and drifted around the country in 281 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:36.320 an alcoholic stupor. He did get a job once in 282 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.480 a while as a plumber, but he just kind of 283 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.200 lose it and drink and get another job and lose 284 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.039 it and drink. 285 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:43.639 To make a little bit of money to buy more 286 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:44.879 booze kind of thing, and. 287 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.799 He just repeat that process shocks. Now. In the early 288 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.399 nineteen hundreds, he started trying his hand at train robbery 289 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.679 and eventually bank robbery as well. 290 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:54.759 Totally crap. 291 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.639 He was a blundering buffoon at the best of times 292 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:00.519 with both of them, and was never too successful. After 293 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.360 one particular robbery, he made off with only forty six dollars, 294 00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:08.799 some whiskey and a watch. Elmer rode off in frustration, 295 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.080 hold up in a barn, and drank his sorrows away. 296 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.759 Can I just do like his tiny side out here? 297 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.679 I've never heard of train robbery? Is that like where 298 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:19.720 a train just like kind of going by and you 299 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.240 just run and grab shit off it. 300 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.480 You've never heard of a train robbery? 301 00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:24.759 No, what happened? 302 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.720 Like a train's going down the tracks and you like 303 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.960 hop on board the train and you gunpoint people off 304 00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:31.320 and go. 305 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:36.639 Oh like you're hopping on there and robbing like civilians. Yeah, 306 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:38.080 oh shit, No, I haven't heard of that. 307 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.799 Well now you have. You need to watch some some 308 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.840 Western films, clearly, Yeah, I need. 309 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.440 To like broad in my horizons here apparently. 310 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.120 Okay, so after his hold up in the barn drinking 311 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.360 the whiskey, he was roaring drunk when a posse from 312 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.879 the train found him and with a single bullet, ended 313 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:02.200 his life. At the end of his life is clearly 314 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.879 just the beginning of a story. His body was taken 315 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.200 to a funeral home where he was never claimed by 316 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.240 loved ones, so the undertaker filled him with strong dose 317 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.559 of arsenic, which was used to at that time to 318 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.799 preserve the body while waiting for people to pick him up, 319 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.440 but no one ever did, so he decided to turn 320 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.159 Elmer into a moneymaker to get his money back from 321 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.759 the arsenic he spent in Elmer became an exhibit known 322 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.080 as the Oklahoma Outlaw, where people would pay a nickel 323 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.720 to get a glimpse at him. Five years later, however, 324 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:37.879 a man showed up and claimed to be Almer's brother 325 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:42.080 and took him away to bury him. However, the brother 326 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.720 was actually the owner of the Great Patterson Traveling Carnival 327 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.360 show and wanted to show the Outlaw's body off in 328 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:53.000 his carnival as he heard of the success of his 329 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:58.399 body being shown off by this undertaker, So his body 330 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.720 was lugged around the countryside being displayed as the outlaw 331 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.480 who wouldn't be taken alive. From there, it bounced from 332 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.599 freak show to freak show to another, and back and forth. 333 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.720 It was briefly used as a display in a movie 334 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.319 theater for a movie in nineteen thirty three. 335 00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:15.119 Oh my God. 336 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:19.119 But because the undertaker used so much arsenic, Elmer's body 337 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.079 became the energizer bunny and just like kept going and 338 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.039 going and going and didn't really decomp. So over the decades, 339 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:31.000 various owners mistakenly came across the body and assuming he 340 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:35.559 was a mannequin, and eventually he was strung up as 341 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.920 a prop in a funhouse where he was there for 342 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.359 a few few years and eventually discovered. 343 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.839 I don't love that story, to be. 344 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.799 Honest, that is a true story. 345 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.839 Like I actually just feel so terrible for him, Like 346 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:57.680 that's just quite the afterlife. Yeah, my word, I'm oh, 347 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.279 are you good? I'm good. But like I I just 348 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.440 have never imagined a story like that after someone has 349 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:04.039 passed away. 350 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:06.519 Well, you've imagined it now. 351 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:07.759 I couldn't make that ship up. 352 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.839 That's you can't make that shit up, clearly, because it's true. 353 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.440 That's wow. 354 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.039 Okay, all right, So you're down to two left, the 355 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.519 Legend of the Green Man and the Legend of the 356 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.599 Blue Star. Tattoo. 357 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.559 Okay, Well, I'm going to choose the next one that 358 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.920 I think is true, okay, and that one is the 359 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.079 blue Star tattoo. 360 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:31.599 So you think the blue Star tattoo is true? 361 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:32.759 Okay, that's true. 362 00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:40.519 Drum roll. The blue Star tattoo is fake. It is 363 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.759 a proven urban legend. 364 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:48.640 Dang. That means that I like failed, you failed, I've failed. 365 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.119 So yeah, Jacob never existed. I made up that name. 366 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.079 It's very popular scenario for people to say that a 367 00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.720 child was a stamp with the blue Star tattoo after 368 00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.240 coming home from school and jump from a second story 369 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.640 window of the home. But however, there have never been 370 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.279 any proven cases of this. 371 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.920 Well, because I actually wonder, oh man, maybe I should 372 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:11.640 have thought about this, and I feel like an idiot, 373 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.440 but that's okay. If a tattoo, if you put this 374 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.160 tattoo on there, could it actually if it was laced 375 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.480 with what did you say? LSD LSD, would it have 376 00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:22.839 been like would it be strong enough that it would 377 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.119 actually affect a person or a child. I'm just wondering, 378 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:26.400 you know. 379 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.759 I'm not too sure. I don't know my hallucinogenics very well. 380 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.640 But yeah, but I just wonder if that could even 381 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.920 be a thing, I don't. 382 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.640 Know, but the urban legend goes that the blue star 383 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.359 tattoos were being used to get kids hooked on LSD 384 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:44.640 and drugs. LSD isn't even an addictive drug, so it's 385 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:46.680 right there, debunkable for sure. 386 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:50.640 Okay, as you were just talking, I had the realization 387 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.160 that that means that number two is true yea, and 388 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:55.599 that shit is terrified. 389 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:01.519 There is one detail that is false about this story though, 390 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.440 so it is slightly misleading. The Green Man does not glow. 391 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.240 Okay, that's it's a bit helpful because the glowing is 392 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:11.880 a bit creepy. 393 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.359 That's the glowing is definitely creepy, although I can understand 394 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.920 the perception of glowing because he does have no face 395 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.279 and street lamps reflecting off his face as just a 396 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:25.519 blank skin. I mean, we all know what overexposed faces 397 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.319 look like, right so from pictures and stuff. So anyways, 398 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:34.559 let's dive into the legend of the Green Man. So, 399 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.319 despite his horrific injury, we already know what happened to 400 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.039 Raymond Robertson when he was only eight years old. It's 401 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:46.160
